NatarajanLeave a comment

 

Just remember that Guru’s tortoise like loving glance gives us happiness.   

A message from A SAI DEVOTEE  this Day….Valentine Day… is being shared with you all..

“I have always believed that if you can not love a person who you can see and hear,- then loving God is a chapter known as Mission Impossible. Love is one thing that can make your heart skip a beat, it can make you dance on the moon and sing with the birds.It is a state of mind where your Life Patner’s happiness and wishes mean more to you than your own. May be because love teaches us to be kind, it teaches you to trust , it teaches you to share , it teaches you to smile, it teaches you to be confident,it teaches you the lesson of honesty and goodness– basically it teaches you to be true to your own self and your heart and your soul. It is the one special feeling which has helped us become the person we are today.. So for all those of you who have not yet been lucky in love- ,cut the arrogance, cut the ego, stop being possessive, jealous , angry or mean .. Just fall in love with your Life partner once again because the road to happiness and peace of mind goes thru the smile and the twinkle in the eyes of your Valentine.”

Message For The Day….HIS Grace is Your Right….

NatarajanLeave a comment

The Lord is everyone’s Father, in whose property each and everyone can claim a share. In order to get it, you must reach a certain stature; achieve a certain standard of intelligence. The infirm and the idiotic are not fit recipients of a worldly property. God’s property is His grace and love. So, to attain a share of His property, you must have devotion and discrimination. With these two, you are entitled to claim your share of Grace, which is your right. Bring with you devotion and take from the Lord, spiritual strength. This is a transaction that pleases Him. Bring to Him all you have – your sorrow and grief, worries and anxieties and take from Him, joy and peace, courage and confidence!

To secure the grace of God one must adhere to right conduct and observe purity in thought, word and deed. – Baba

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

 Lord Ganesha is worshipped as the god of prosperity and symbol of happiness. It is believed that any activity started by worshipping lord Ganesha will bring good results and will be successful. Lord Ganesha’s appearance teaches many things along with some financial tips which people often forget and put themselves into wrongful financial situations. Hiral Thanawala in InvestmentYogi.com discusses 11 financial lessons which you can learn from lord Ganesha.
1. Big Head of ‘Gajanana’
He has a big head or Gajanana which means “Elephant Faced God” symbolizes to think big. People often fail to think out side the already set boundaries. Though at times there is a little amount of risk involved experimenting with financial planning but there are safe ways in which one can explore their options and start thinking differently. Each and every problem has a solution to it. To find the solution one just need to be calm and analyze the situation.
2. Small Eyes of “Gajakarna”
The small and sharp eyes of Ganesha symbolize to have concentration. Any work or plan where there is lack of concentration cannot be successful. Your financial planning also needs proper concentration and need you to think all the risk and gain factors involved. Ask questions to your self before you take any decision. Concentrate on smallest of small details and take note of each and every pros and cons of the step you are about to take. After setting your goals, you need to prioritize them according to their importance.
3. Large Ears of “Lambakarna”
The large ears of “Lambakarna” which means “Large Eared Lord” and symbolizes to listen carefully and keep you years open always. You should know what is going on in the financial markets and what the new innovations are. Also listen to your financial advisors. Often people tend to take their financial decisions on their own in order to save a little amount they have to pay to the advisors. But at times in order to save little money they end up incurring a huge loss.
Still in case you do not feel like consulting an advisor, collect information on your own. There are many articles on internet as well as Television which can help you to know better market trends and take proper decisions.
4. Small Mouth of “Gajavaktra”
At times it is said that actions speak better than words, but few wrong words may make bigger and a very wrong impression than your actions. Lord Ganesha’s small mouth reminds that one should think before they speak anything. Your words portray your personality, you need to listen more and talk less while planning your financial plans. More over it is not always safe to discuss your financial plans with every body as they might provide you some wrong information. Talk only those things which will help you to gain further knowledge and help in making strong financial decisions.
5. One Tusk of “Ekadanta” or “Ekadrishta”
Ganesha’s one tusk symbolizes that you should keep the good and throws the bad. It conveys that keep studying your investments on regular period of time. Investments which are running at loss should not be retained. On the other hand investments which are making profits should be retained and look other measures that how they can perform even better.
6. Trunk of “Vakratunda”
Lord Ganesha’s trunk conveys that one should be highly adaptable and efficient to their surroundings. Even in unfavorable situations one should be patient and should not panic. Your financial matters need to be handled with care for which you need to have patience. Impulsive decisions may often make you take wrong decisions which will further causing you more damage. Once an investment done doesn’t mean your job is over. You need to be efficient and keep checking the prospects on regular intervals.
7. Large Stomach of “Lambodara”
Ganesha”s big stomach conveys that one should be able to digest all good and bad phases of financial decisions. It is not always necessary that you investments will only generate profits. At times they may incur losses too. It such situations one should be able to digest the bad upcoming and find out solutions to handle the problem wisely. You should identify what went wrong wile making the decision and take a note that it should not be repeated any more.
8. Right foot over left foot
Ganesha keeps his right foot over left foot when ever he is seen in sitting posture. This posture symbolizes using knowledge and reason to overcome emotions. One should never take their financial decisions emotionally. Money matters are acute mathematics and are based on strong reasons; decisions related to these should also be taking in such a way. You should have a strong base of financial knowledge to relay your decisions on them. You can read books or go through internet articles on financial issues.
9. Axe
The lord of all Ganas (Gods), Ganesha holds an axe in one of his hands in order to shed off all the bonds and attachments. It means that you should not put all your money and make investments only in one company or one type of investments. This is because different companies and investments perform differently according to the market conditions and investing only in one company increases your risk. Therefore it is suggested by financial advisors to invest in different companies as well as different type of investments.
10. Mouse at Akhuratha’s Feet
“Moshak” or mouse is considered as Ganesha’s ride. Akhuratha means the lord who has mouse as his charioteer. It conveys the message that people should keep their desirers under control and not take a toll of them. Often people end up spending for things they really do not require and just have the urge to have that. Few impulsive buyers like these at times really end up putting themselves in big trouble by not planning properly to invest their money.
11. Modak and Prasada
Modak is ganesha’s favorite sweet and it is served to the devotees as ‘prasada’. This symbolizes that one who does hard work and is patient always gets good rewards. If you are capable of following all the suggestions devotedly, you will definitely get your reward. You financial decisions cannot go wrong and you will always live a healthy and care free life.

Message For The Day… World is a Stage For HIS Play !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

The Lord has declared in the Geetha, “Mama maaya” or “My illusion”. This implies that the world is His handiwork, His Divine sport & glory (leela & mahima). It is devised as a training ground, an inspiration for those who desire to see Him, Who is its Source, Director, & Master. Once you see the world as the stage for His play, then you will no longer be misled, nor distracted, nor deceived by any tricks or stage effects. From illusion, you must get interested in the Author, the Master. The play is real only as long as it lasts, when you are in the theatre. So too, the world is just a mirage! A mirage does not originate from rain. It will not reach any lake or sea. It was not there before the sunrise, nor will it be there after the sunset. It is just an intervening phenomenon, it is best left alone! So too, God truly is more real than the world, this is the essence of Indian scriptures.

MahaPeriavar….HE is Everything !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Source:-Sage of Kanchi

A family went to have the darshan of HH. Along with them, they took one of their family friends who lived in the USA for some decades. The friend did not have any great faith in our religion, system and especially the monks wearing the saffron; he went along with him with utterly non-interested to meet Him. He was under the impression that HH was a fundamentalist, an uneducated monk. This NRI had no great respect at all for Him. Not only that, he uttered such inauspicious things about Him, ‘what does He know? Does He know English?’.

There was a big throng of devotees at the Mutt and the family was standing in a decent distance from Him. As usual, HH saw this family with His graceful eyes, and called all of them near to Him.

They all went near Him, the friend too.

After all the usual courteous enquires towards the family, the Master looked at the NRI friend and asked about his details, including his name, whereabouts, his predecessors, where he is working etc etc.

Then He asked, ‘you are born in India, and you know Tamil; your wife was also born in India and should know the mother tongue. When you two converse will it be in Tamil or English?’

The friend replied ‘We never use Tamil at home, we use only English. The same goes for the kids also.’

Then HH asked, ‘before speaking, you may have to think and conceive the sentence. Is the thought process in Tamil or English?’

The friend replied, ‘That too in English only’.

Some minutes later, an old lady came to HH’s darshan.

HH looked at the NRI person and said, ‘This old lady is now very poor, but once upon a time she was very rich. But even after she lost all the materialistic wealth her devotion towards the Mutt, Acharya and me has never changed even a bit. Could you please tell me what is the English word which will describe this unflinching devotion, which can’t be changed by external situations? I would like to know.’

The man was flummoxed. He thought and thought for a while but did not know that word.

HH told him, ‘please take your time and let me know’.

Even after some time, he couldn’t come up with the required word.

Then HH said, ‘Can I suggest one word? Could you please confirm whether the same can convey this meaning? EQUIPOISED’.

The man was spellbound and fell on HH’s lotus feet for pardon.

HH is SARVAGNAN, He knows everything and He is everything.

Message For The Day….Grow in Self Respect and Dignity…

NatarajanLeave a comment

Detachment (vairagya) is a result of the Lord’s Grace; it needs years of yearning and struggle. Meanwhile begin today with the first step, which is cleansing of your mind and cultivation of virtues. Even if you are unable to start or follow these, at least do not laugh at those who do and discourage them. Do not depend upon others for doing your work or have someone attend to your personal wants. Do them yourself – that is the mark of being truly self-reliant and free! Never accept anything free from anyone. You must pay it back, in service or work. Thus, you will make yourselves self-respecting individuals. Receiving a favour means getting bound to the giver. Grow in self-respect and dignity. That is the best service you can do to yourself.
