Message For The Day….Advice To Students And Youngsters….

Students and youngsters must have challenging attitude towards things and honour physical labour. You must be eager to be of service to those who need it on account of their disabilities. Honour your elders and do not miss any chance of serving or pleasing them. Whatever gives you health and joy, welcome it – but do not lower yourself by indulging in vulgar pastimes. Do not wander aimlessly in the streets or frequent cinema halls and mix with undesirable company, or cultivate bad habits for fun. Remember that you must raise your motherland to great heights through your hard work and effort. When you develop such virtues, the nation will prosper.

Even Today Devotees Experience the Miracles of Mahaperiavar!!!

Here are two different mails received from our members. We are very glad and proud to present these first-hand experiences from the current generation of people, who are still witnessing the miracles of Periva, because of the sheer devotion they have in Him.

a) Rain in Sathuragiri – experience of Sri Hari (extracted from the member’s mail):

“We visited Sathuragiri during the weekend of March 23-24, and had a wonderful darshan of the Swami on the hill top. While we were back in the basement on March 24, we had our bath and were performing our anushtaanam in a garden of a private property (thoppu). There, as we were doing our Japam, one of the working women came around and requested us to pray for rains for that region. We were obviously reminded instantly of our Periva only and we made a sincere prayer to Him to bless that region with some showers, and told those workers that they can expect a rainfall soon, and came back to Chennai.

On Tuesday the 26th March 2013, out of a sudden thought, we gave a quick call to the Thoppu people to find out if all is well. To our surprise, we found that the previous evening 25th March, they witnessed very good amount of rainfall in their region and all the drylands had received sufficiently good amount of rain to keep them wet and safe for a few more months. They said they had not seen such a thick rainfall for many months in the past. We were more than glad, and thanked Periva once again – just wanted to share this with everyone else, as He has always been so kind to bring in rainfall for all affected areas like the Sage RishyaSrungar.”

b) Rain in Tirupur – experience of Sri K Narayanan, Tirupur (extract from the member’s mail):

“I am from Tirupur. Yesterday (7th April 2013) we had the Unchivirthi from Prathosham Mama team at Tirupur. Sri Vinayakaram , famous Gadam Vidhvan gave a “Chathur Gadam – Solo” performance on the occasion to celebrate Mahaswami’s 120th Jayanthi. During the welcome speech, Dr K Natarajan , representing Tirupur public put forth a request to Sri Vinayakaram to pray for the betterment of Tirupur and for rains .

Sri Vinayakaram , before he commenced his performance said that on the last occasion when he performed at Tirupur at Ramakrishna Bajanai Madam at Tirupur year before last year, he put forth the prayer for the madam to be renovated ( it was in a dilapidated condition ) and said that today Periyava’s karunai had made it happen. He further said that Periyava will shower his blessings for the request now made. He started his performance.

Within seconds, there was a good shower in Tirupur. This is the way HE (periyava) responds to the prayers of Bakthas in no time. All present at the venue were overwhelmed by his shower of blessing by way of shower of rain. We all hope that he will bring back Tirupur back to its glory.”

Meet Neal Mohan…Google”s $100 Million Man !!!!!

Neal Mohan

Google global vice president for display, Neal Mohan

HE’S not a screamer. He doesn’t like long meetings. He responds quickly to people. His name is Neal Mohan, and he’s the brains behind Google’s display advertising cash cow.

How did a man who started out working for $60,000 a year become a $100 million man?

Mohan worked for internet startups Accenture and NetGravity in the late 1990s after graduating from Stanford with qualifications in electrical engineering. In 2003 he returned to complete his MBA.

His big break came when NetGravity was acquired by DoubleClick, the company he would eventually take with him to Google to drive the world’s biggest online advertising engine.

Mohan brought with him a wealth of knowledge in online consumer behaviour and an innate curiosity. He devised a 500-page powerpoint presentation in 2005 that is still used today as a blueprint for ad work.

That powerpoint presentation alone tripled the value of DoubleClick from $1.1 billion to $3.1 billion, the amount Google paid to acquire the company.

Such was Mohan’s skill-set that Google ad exec Susan Wojcicki put a broom through her department to allow the DoubleClick team to move straight across.

It was a risky move because one of the men Wojcicki let go, Gokul Rajaram, now heads Facebook’s lucrative display advertising team.

But Mohan made good on his word and with hard work and the shrewd acquisition of tools, such as the display platform Invite Media, his team made $5 billion for Google in 2011.

It’s little wonder Google paid him $100 million in stock to keep him from joining Twitter. He’s proving every bit his worth.

So how does a man known by clients as “the quiet assassin” go about his work? Surely he’d slam his fists on tables and terrify his colleagues.

Not according to sources who say he’s “not a screamer”, doesn’t “waste time in meetings” and “listens” to what his clients want.

Oh, and perhaps most importantly, he “doesn’t bullshit”.

Are you taking notes?

Message For Th Day….Surrender Yourself to HIS Will ….

The Grace of the Lord cannot be won by a little pretence of non-attachment (Vairagyam) or just with a few little acts of discrimination (Vivekam). Know and act; realise and also experience – that is the hard path. Surrender yourself to His Will. Life is a great Yajna (sacrificial rite). Allow the Lord to preside over it. Do not ignore Him. This world is not a land of enjoyment (Bhoga Bhoomi). It is a land of sacrifice, of Yoga (union with God), and of righteous actions (Thyaga Bhoomi, Yoga Bhoomi, Karma Bhoomi). Have love and the spirit of unity in work and prayer, I assure you, the Kingdom of the Lord (Rama Rajya) will establish itself again here.

Message For The Day…Sadhana is the Food For Our Inner Soul….

When you come out of the examination hall, you know whether you will pass or fail, for you can yourself judge how well you have answered – is it not? So too, in your daily life, each of you can judge and ascertain the success or failure of your Sadhana(Spiritual Effort). Sadhana is the most essential practice for you. No age is too early for this. Just as you tend the body with food and drink at regular intervals, you must also tend to the needs of the inner Soul by regular japam and dhyanam (contemplation and meditation) and the cultivation of virtues. Holy Company, Good Attitude and Sacred Thoughts are all very essential for the growth and the health of your inner personality. Your body is the mansion (Bhavanam) of the Lord of the Universe (Bhuvaneshwara).
