அற்புதம் மிகுந்த அன்னாபிஷேகம்

ஐப்பசி மாத பவுர்ணமி அன்று கோவில்களில் மூட்டைக் கணக்கில் அரிசியை வடித்து சுவாமிக்குச் சாத்தி (அன்னாபிஷேகம் செய்து), அந்த அன்னத்தை ஏழைகளுக்குக் கொடுப்பார்கள். இதே போல் வீடுகளிலும் கூட இறைவனுக்கு அன்னாபிஷேகம் செய்யப்படுவது உண்டு.

அன்னாபிஷேகத்தை தரிசிக்கும் வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தவர்கள், அடுத்த அன்னாபிஷேகம் வரை அன்னத்துக்குக் கஷ்டப்பட மாட்டார்கள் என்றும் கூறப்படுகிறது. பொதுவாக பலருக்கு செல்வத்தில் எந்தக் குறையும் இருக்காது. ஆனாலும் உணவைக் கண்டாலே வெறுப்பாக இருக்கும். பசி இருக்கும்; ஆனால் உண்ண முடியாது. அல்லது சாப்பிட பிடிக்காது.

இதை அன்னத்வேஷம் என்பார்கள். இப்படிப்பட்டவர்கள், சுவாமிக்கு அன்னாபிஷேகம் செய்து, அந்த அன்னத்தை எந்தவித விளம்பரமும் இல்லாமல் ஏழைகளுக்கு தானம் செய்து வந்தால், அன்ன த்வேஷம் விலகும் என்பது நிச்சயமாக உண்மை. எது கிடைத்தாலும் முதலில் இறைவனுக்குச் சமர்ப்பணம் செய்கிறோம் அல்லவா?

அந்த முறைப்படி ஐப்பசியில் அறுவடையான புது நெல்லைக் கொண்டு சாதமாகச் செய்து, அதை முழுமையாக சுவாமிக்கு சாத்துவது, இந்த ஐதீகத்தின் முறை என்றும் காரண காரியம் கூறப்படுகிறது. இந்த அன்னாபிஷேகத்தில் உலகளாவிய தத்துவம் ஒன்றும் உள்ளடங்கிக் கிடக்கிறது.

அதாவது சிவலிங்கத்தைப் பற்றிய உண்மையான விளக்கம், ஒரு லட்சம் ஸ்லோகங்களைக் கொண்ட சமஸ்கிருத கந்த புராணத்திலும், தமிழில் 3 ஆயிரம் பாடல்களைக் கொண்ட திருமூலரின் திருமந்திரத்திலும் கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது. அது என்ன என்று தெரிந்து கொள்ள ஆவலாக இருக்கிறதல்லவா? சிவலிங்கம் என்பது ஆகாயம்.

ஆவுடையார் என்பது பூமி. இந்த ஆகாய லிங்கத்துக்கு கடலில் இருந்து தண்ணீரை எடுத்துக் கொண்டு போய் மேகங்கள் மழையாய் பொழிந்து அபிஷேகம் செய்கின்றன. நட்சத்திரங்கள் ஆகாய லிங்கத்துக்கு மாலையாகவும், திசைகளே ஆடையாகவும் இருக்கின்றன. ‘தரை உற்ற சக்தி’ என்ற திருமந்திரப் பாடலின் விளக்கம் இது.

இந்தத் தகவலைச் சொன்ன திரு மூலருக்கும் கூட ஐப்பசி மாதம் தான் குருபூஜை வருகிறது என்பது சிறப்பு சேர்க்கும் ஒரு விஷயமாகும். அதனால்தான் போலும் ஐப்பசி மாதம் அன்னாபிஷேகம் செய்கிறோம். ஆண்டவன் என்னும் ஆகாயத்தின், ஒரே கூரையின் கீழ்தான் நாம் அனைவரும் இருக்கிறோம்.

அதனால் ஆண்டவனுக்கு அபிஷேகம் செய்து, அதை எந்த விதமான பேதமும் பார்க்காமல் அனைவருக்கும் கொடுக்க வேண்டும் என்பது இதன் தத்துவார்த்தமாக இருக்கிறது. ஒருவன் எவ்வளவு பெரிய, பெரிய தான– தர்மங்களைச் செய்தாலும் கூட, அவை அனைத்தும் பசி என்று வரும் ஒருவருக்குச் செய்யும் அன்னதானத்திற்கு ஈடாகாது என்பது நமது முன்னோர்களின் வாக்காகும்.

அது எவ்விதத்திலும் பொய்யில்லை என்பதே இறைவனுக்கு நடைபெறும் அன்னாபிஷேகமும், அதை அனைவருக்கும் கொடுக்கும் முறையும் உணர்த்துகிறது. சிதம்பரம் நடராஜர் கோவிலில் ஸ்படிக லிங்கத்துக்கு நித்திய அன்னாபிஷேகம் நடைபெறும்.

அதை செய்பவர்களும், தரிசிப்பவர்களும் அன்னத்துக்குக் கஷ்டப்படாமல் இருப்பது நிதர்சனமான உண்மை. அந்த ஊருக்கே ‘அன்னம்பாலிக்கும் ஊர்’ என்றே பெயர் வழங்கப்படுகிறது.

Know this Word …” Social Security”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Social Security

A general term used to refer to the programs mandated in the United States by the Social Security Act of 1935. With the amendments made to the act since then, it now consists of benefits for old age, survivors, and disability. Through social security, programs that provide assistance to certain segments of the public are administrated, such as Public Assistance.

Use Social Security in a sentence

  • After she retired, my mother started collecting Social Security payments in order to supplement her other forms of retirement income.
  • There are several people who rely on social security in the United States to meet all of there needs, they receive money from the government to help them survive either after retirement or if they become disabled and unable to work.
  • Your social security number is very important in the United States; it’s a number that signifies who you are to those who don’t know you.

Message for the Day… ” What is Vitamin G …” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

Sathya Sai Baba

When the mind of a person is unattached to the ups and downs of life, but is able to maintain equanimity under all circumstances, then even physical health can be assured. The mental firmament must be like the sky, which bears no mark of the passage through it of birds or planes or clouds. Illness is caused more by malnutrition of the mind than of the body. Doctors speak of vitamin deficiency; I will call it the deficiency of Vitamin G, and I will recommend the repetition of the Name of God, with accompanying contemplation of the glory and grace of God. This Vitamin G is the medicine that is needed. Regulated life and habits are two-thirds of the treatment, while the medicine is just one-third. You must reveal the divine qualities of love, humility, detachment and contentment. Else, you could become worse than a beast and in fact more deadly.

How You Should Plan Your Day According to the Human Body Clock…?

NatarajanLeave a comment
Did you know that according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our body has its own energy clock? Also known as the Chinese Body Clock, it explains some of the most asked questions about our body. For instance, you may be curious to discover why your mood and energy levels fluctuate so much throughout the day? And why you sometimes tend to be less concentrated on your work than in other instances?

Without a doubt, our bodies do extraordinary things, but they are all built around cycles, controlled by the brain and defined by our sleeping and eating patterns. At different times of the day, the body has one organ which is at its energetic peak, and by knowing your energy clock well, you can help your body cope better.

The chart below illustrates the human energy body clock, showing the best times to eat, work, sleep and socialize. According to TCM, the body moves its energy concentration from one organ to another every 2 hours (as the chart indicates) with the organ opposite each time slot (12 hours ahead) being the one with the least energetic functioning during that time.

For a more detailed overview, this is how the Chinese Body Clock works.
First of all, our body goes through 3 main cycles every day. These cycles are as follows:
1. Elimination Cycle (4am-12pm):

This is the time during which the body is getting rid of toxins – the reason behind the bad breath and sweaty skin we wake up with in the morning. During this period, it is recommended that we eat food that is easily digestible, such as raw produce, green juice, smoothies, etc.
2. Appropriation Cycle (12pm-8pm):

The body is most awake and active during this time of the day, and so is its digestion and metabolism. You may be feeling more hungry than usual during this  time period. If so, it is important to eat, even if it’s not during meal times.

3. Assimilation Cycle (8pm-4am):

At this time, the body is concentrating on the absorption of nutrients in order to revitalize cells and organs. It’s the perfect time for healing,rebuilding and renewing, and it’s recommended that dinner is taken right before this cycle.

As you have seen in the Human Body Energy Clock chart above, these cycles can be broken down even further, focusing more on the activity peaks of specific body organs.

Here’s what’s happening in every section of the clock and how you can help your body in the process.
• Between 3am and 5am:
While you are in a deep sleep, your body is focusing on the lungs and breathing, to make sure enough oxygen is filling your lungs, and entering your blood and nervous system. If you cough during this time, it probably means that your lungs are getting rid of toxins.

• Between 5am and 7am:
You are now in your elimination cycle, and your body is preparing thelarge intestine to eliminate toxins as soon as you wake up. If you’re up at this time, it is recommended that you drink 16+ oz of water to replace the lost liquid. At this point, opt for a brisk walk over sitting down while drinking a cup of coffee!

• Between 7am and 9am:
Now, the energy focus moves to the stomach. You are likely to rise with a good appetite, after a long period of fasting throughout the night. Wake up and eat breakfast – make sure it contains fruit and protein to fill you with the nutrients you need to face the day.
• Between 9am and 11am:
After the stomach, come the pancreas and the spleen. During this time, these organs are processing your breakfast and converting it into energy. This energy becomes the fuel your cells need for your new day ahead.
• Between 11am and 1pm:
By now, the nutrients in your breakfast are being pumped around the body by the heart, and reaching out to all your body systems and organs through the circulatory system. Now is the right time to be with people and prepare yourself for another dose of nutrients, as energy levels start to decrease.

Between 1pm and 3pm:
The perfect time to eat lunch.  After doing this, many people feel the need to take a nap to boost their energy for the rest of the day and take a break from the morning activities. Furthermore, your body is now working on the digestion of your lunch, focusing on the small intestine. This is also an ideal time for some peaceful meditation.

• Between 3pm and 5pm:
The focus now shifts to the bladder. At this time, it is recommended that you stay hydrated by drinking water or tea. It is also an excellent time to get some things done for the last time before your body prepares you for the evening.
• Between 5pm and 7pm:
Its time for the last main meal of the day – dinner. This shouldn’t be very big, but should be nutritious. Your body is concentrating on thekidneys now, to filter the body of any waste. It is also working on the lymphatic system to keep the body clear and in flow. Doing some physical movement would be a good idea – consider walking or stretching.

• Between 7pm and 9pm:
At this point of the day, your blood pressure is typically at its highest levels, and your body’s focus now shifts to the pericardium. The day is nearing its end, and it’s suitable to take this time to wind down and relax. One’s libido has very often reached its peak by now, so the engagement in intercourse is ideal at this time.
• Between 9pm and 11pm:
Your body is now focusing on the triple warmer and the endocrine system. At this time, you are least expected, or recommended, to eat. Preferably, one should continue to relax, while the body is working on its equilibrium and the replacements of enzymes used throughout the day. It’s also the ideal and easiest time to go to sleep.

Between 11pm and 1am:
While you are sleeping, your body is focusing on the gallbladder. If you suffer from gallstones, then you might experience some pain during this time.
• Between 1am and 3am:
The liver is now at work. Your body is detoxifying itself by processing alcohol, chemicals, drugs, and poor diet, and eliminating the unwanted substances, cleansing your blood as a result.

India’s global ad giant taking on Google and Facebook…

NatarajanLeave a comment

“I am a very proud Indian and I want to see our country succeed,” says Naveen Tewari, chief executive of mobile advertising giant InMobi.

“I thought if I could do something from here that can be successful, maybe I’ll have a small role in creating great companies out of India that can compete with the iconic companies in Silicon Valley.”

It’s fair to say that eight years after starting the company with three co-graduates from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, Mr Tewari has done just that.

Today InMobi, based in Bangalore, India, is the third largest player in the fast-growing mobile advertising industry, with only Facebook and Google outstripping it.

The company has 24 offices in 17 countries and employs more than 900 people. Last year it posted 720 billion mobile adverts on the phones of more than a billion users.

In just a few years he hopes they will send adverts to 2.5 billion people every day.

”That level of ability for us to touch so many lives and impact their decision-making is a huge responsibility,” says Mr Newari.

“I want to ensure we deliver value to them.”

Smartphone revolution

The advertising giant has grown quickly because of the fast proliferation of smartphones and tablets across the world.

“InMobi creates audience networks for advertisers to reach through mobile devices,” explains Ian Maude, the director of digital media at Enders Analysis.

InMobi places adverts on smartphone content apps such as games

“These companies sign up digital publishers, like app makers, so they can access their audiences, package them up and sell them on to advertisers.”

India is the world’s third-largest smartphone market and many users are upgrading to smartphones for the first time from basic handsets.

Chinese mobile companies, like Xiaomi, OnePlus and Coolpad, are now investing in India, providing competition for home-grown brands, such as Micromax and Karbonn, as well as for global giants Samsung and Apple.

”InMobi is directly relevant to what is happening in India at a macro point of view because of its distribution and ability to access people on mobile devices, which people in India are adopting very quickly,” says Eileen Burbidge, who invests in technology companies for Passion Capital.

Global gamble

It has not been a clear road to global success for Mr Tewari and co-founders Abhay Singhal, Amit Gupta and Mohit Saxena.

The company was originally called mKhoj and offered a search engine that worked via text message.

In 2009, with mKhoj failing to take off, they rebranded as InMobi, funding the new business with credit card debt.

The gamble quickly paid off – that year InMobi became the largest mobile ad network in South Africa and opened offices in Europe, expanding to North America the following year.

“People asked us why are you building this as a global business when there is no past success like this,” Mr Tewari says.

“But we said we think we can make it happen; we have a great product and there is a market for it. Logic suggested that if we looked at the past we shouldn’t go for it, but my gut suggested that we should. We went for it and we are successful.

”You have to make decisions with 10% of the available information. If you had 100% information then decision-making would be very easy,” he adds.

Tech ambition

Mr Tewari says the turning point in his career was when he got to work with a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley during his summer breaks from his MBA [Master of Business Administration] at Harvard Business School.

”It was my first introduction to the world of start-ups and I learnt that I could make a difference, define the vision and actually make things happen.”

His chosen career path was a disappointment to some of his more academic family members.

”Everyone was disappointed when I did not go down the path of doing a PhD and taking up something with potential at the Indian Institutes of Technology.

“Now what I do is very different and it’s a big change,” he says.

Term of the Day… What is ” White Paper ” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment
1.A concise report that informs readers about a complex issue, often used to convey an organization’s philosophy and pursuade potential customers. This type of document contains proposals for the specific policy area suggested during the consultation process initiated with the publication of a green paper. In British law, several drafts of a white paper may be distributed for the final comments after which it goes for approval to the apex body such as a Parliament before it becomes the official policy.
2.Marketing tool in the form of information on the technology underlying a complex product of system and on how it will benefit the customer.

 

Use white paper in a sentence

  • There were a number of problems with the white paper that Ted sent around, causing the committee to completely rework the document.
  • I have laid out the proposals in the white paper that we had spoken about previously during our consultation and would like you to review before it is submitted.

Message for the Day…” The dormant spiritual energy {kundalini shakthi} present in us when awakened can destroy all the evil tendencies within our Mind…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Sathya Sai Baba

Look at the trainers of wild beasts. They bring the tiger, the most ferocious of animals, like a cat into the circus ring and make it jump through a hoop of fire, lap milk from a plate or sit face to face with a goat on a chair! They tame it to become an unassuming toy! If a ferocious tiger can be subdued, can you not succeed with the ferocious denizens of your mind? You can! That is the message you must internalize when you celebrate the victory of the Primal Energy! On this day the Goddess of Energy (Parashakthi), immanent in the microcosm and macrocosm had destroyed all the evil forces (Asura).That same energy is present in you as the dormant spiritual energy(Kundalini Shakti), which when awakened, can destroy, the evil tendencies within your mind; So, by means of systematic Sadhana tap the inner resources that God has endowed you with and elevate yourselves to a purer and happier realm.

Daily Views of Earth on NASA Website….

DSCOVR EPIC Day 260

Earth rotates through an entire day as captured in this animation of 22 still images taken on Sept. 17, 2015 by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) camera on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft.
Credits: NASA

NASA launched a new website Monday so the world can see images of the full, sunlit side of the Earth every day. The images are taken by a NASA camera one million miles away on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Air Force.

Once a day NASA will post at least a dozen new color images of Earth acquired from 12 to 36 hours earlier by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC). Each daily sequence of images will show the Earth as it rotates, thus revealing the whole globe over the course of a day. The new website also features an archive of EPIC images searchable by date and continent.

The primary objective of NOAA’s DSCOVR mission is to maintain the nation’s real-time solar wind monitoring capabilities, which are critical to the accuracy and lead time of space weather alerts and forecasts from NOAA. NASA has two Earth-observing instruments on the spacecraft. EPIC’s images of Earth allow scientists to study daily variations over the entire globe in such features as vegetation, ozone, aerosols, and cloud height and reflectivity.

EPIC is a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope. The color Earth images are created by combining three separate single-color images to create a photographic-quality image equivalent to a 12-megapixel camera. The camera takes a series of 10 images using different narrowband filters — from ultraviolet to near infrared — to produce a variety of science products. The red, green and blue channel images are used to create the color images. Each image is about 3 megabytes in size.

“The effective resolution of the DSCOVR EPIC camera is somewhere between 6.2 and 9.4 miles (10 and 15 kilometers),” said Adam Szabo, DSCOVR project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland.

Since Earth is extremely bright in the darkness of space, EPIC has to take very short exposure images (20-100 milliseconds). The much fainter stars are not visible in the background as a result of the short exposure times.

The DSCOVR spacecraft orbits around the L1 Lagrange point directly between Earth and the sun. This orbit keeps the spacecraft near the L1 point and requires only occasional small maneuvers, but its orbit can vary from 4 to 15 degrees away from the sun-Earth line over several years.

EPIC was built by Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Center, in Palo Alto, California. Using an 11.8-inch (30-centimeter) telescope and 2048 x 2048 CCD detector, EPIC measures in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared areas of the spectrum. The data from all 10 wavelengths are posted through a website hosted by the Atmospheric Science Data Center at NASA’s Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. All images are in the public domain.

NASA uses the vantage point of space to increase our understanding of our home planet, improve lives, and safeguard our future. NASA develops new ways to observe and study Earth’s interconnected natural systems with long-term data records. The agency freely shares this unique knowledge and works with institutions around the world to gain new insights into how our planet is changing.
