“டாக்டர், பையன் சரியாகவே சாப்பிடமாட்டேன் என்கிறான். ஆப்பிள், ஹார்லிக்ஸ் எது கொடுத்தாலும் வேண்டாம் என்கிறான்…., பசி எடுக்கிற மாதிரி டானிக் கொடுங்க” என தனது ஆறு வயது பையனைக் காட்டி கேட்டாள் ரேவதி.
மருத்துவர் கொடுத்த சீட்டுப்படி டானிக் வாங்கிக்கொண்டு கணவனுடன் காரை நோக்கி நடந்தாள். வாசலில் ஒரு பிச்சைக்காரி “”அம்மா, பிள்ளைக்குப் பசிக்குது….ரெண்டு இட்லி வாங்க காசு கொடுத்து உதவுங்கம்மா” என்று கெஞ்சினாள். “”எங்கப் பார்த்தாலும் பிச்சைக்காரங்க தொல்லை” என்று அலுத்துக்கொண்டு காரில் ஏறினாள் ரேவதி.
டிரைவர் சீட்டில் அமர்ந்த அவரது கணவனிடம் கையேந்தினாள் அந்தப் பிச்சைக்காரி.
கார் கண்ணாடியை இறக்கிவிட்டு அவளிடம் 20ரூபாயைக் கொடுத்தார் ரேவதியின் கணவர்.
“”ஏங்க…, பிச்சைக்காரிக்கு இருபது ரூபா கொடுக்கணுமா?”
“”ரேவதி, நம் பிள்ளைக்கு பசி எடுக்கணும்னு இப்போ ஐந்நூறு ரூபாய் செலவழிச்சுட்டு வர்றோம்.., அந்த பிள்ளைக்கு பசியை போக்க இருபது ரூபாய் கொடுத்தது தப்பா? இது போன்ற ஏழைக் குழந்தைகளின் பசியை நீக்க உதவினால் நம்ம பிள்ளை தானாக பசி எடுத்து நல்லா சாப்பிடுவான்” என்றார் ரேவதியின் கணவர்.
கணவனின் வார்த்தைகளால் உண்மையை உணர்ந்தாள் ரேவதி!

Message For the Day….” Do you Remember all the kith and kin from Your Previous Lives …” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

Your love for God should be firm and unchanging, unaffected by trials and tribulations and the vicissitudes of life. Pandavas are supreme examples of unwavering love for Krishna. When Draupadi was being humiliated in Duryodhana’s assembly hall, when Abhimanyu was attacked and slain by the Kauravas, when Aswathama massacred the Upa-pandavas (Pandavas’ children), or when they performed the glorious Rajasuya sacrifice at the height of their power, or when they were in exile in the forest, without succumbing to the difficulties and troubles they were subjected to, they adhered firmly to the name of Krishna, with unwavering faith in Him. They relied only on Krishna’s love. Difficulties and troubles are passing clouds which come and go. Do you remember all the kith and kin from your previous lives? The only relationship that remains unchanged is the one with God. Attach yourself to Him.

படித்ததில் பிடித்தது …” நல்லதே செய் …அதுவும் இன்றே செய் …” !!!

‘நல்லதை இன்றே, இப்போதே செய்ய வேண்டும்; கெட்டதை தள்ளிப் போட வேண்டும்’ என்று பல்வேறு கதைகளின் மூலம் வலியுறுத்தியுள்ளனர் நம் முன்னோர். இதற்கு உதாரணமாக, பழந்தமிழ் நுாலில் உள்ள கதை இது:
ஒரு நாள், கர்ணன் எண்ணெய் தேய்த்து குளிப்பதற்காக, தங்க கிண்ணத்தில் இருந்த எண்ணெயை இடது கையால், வலக்கையில் ஊற்றி, உடம்பெங்கும் தேய்த்தபடி இருந்தான்.
அச்சமயத்தில், அந்தணர் ஒருவர், கர்ணனிடம் தானம் வாங்க வந்தார். அவர் யாசகம் கேட்ட மறுவினாடியே, இடது கையில் இருந்த தங்க கிண்ணத்தை, அப்படியே இடது கையாலேயே அந்தணருக்கு கொடுத்தான் கர்ணன்.
அதை வாங்கிய அந்தணர், ‘கர்ணா… இடக் கையால் தானம் அளிக்கக் கூடாது என்பது உனக்கு நன்றாகத் தெரிந்திருந்தும், ஏன் இடது கையால் கொடுத்தாய்…’ எனக் கேட்டார்.
அதற்கு கர்ணன், ‘ஐயா… இடக் கையில் இருக்கும் கிண்ணத்தை, வலது கைக்கு மாற்றுவதற்குள், என் மனசு மாறி விட்டால் என்ன செய்வது? அது மட்டுல்ல, அந்த சிறிதளவு நேரம் கூட நீங்கள் காத்திருக்கக் கூடாது என்பதற்காகவே, அப்படிச் செய்தேன்.
‘மானிட வாழ்வு நிலையில்லாதது; நீர்க்குமிழி போல நொடியில் போய்விடும். இடக்கையில் இருந்து, வலக்கைக்கு மாற்றுவதற்குள், என் உயிர் போய் விட்டால், உங்களுக்கு கொடுக்காத பாவம் என்னை வந்து சேருமல்லவா… அதனால் தான் இடது கையாலேயே கொடுத்தேன்…’ என்றான் கர்ணன்.
ஏழை மறையோர்க்கு இடக் கையாலே எண்ணெய்க் கிண்ணம் ஈந்தான் அன்றோ என, இத்தகவலைச் சொல்லும், ‘ஜெயங்கொண்டார் வழக்கம்’ எனும் பழங்கால நூல், நாளை என்பார் கொடை தனக்குசடுதியிலே இல்லை என்றால் நலமதாமே என்றும் கூறுகிறது.
அதாவது, உதவி கேட்டு வருபவர்களை, ‘நாளை வா…’ என்று சொல்லி இழுத்தடிப்பதை விட, இன்றே இல்லை என்று சொல்லிவிடுவது நல்லது என்றும் கூறுகிறது.
ஆகையால், நல்லதைச் செய்வதும், அதை உடனடியாக செய்வதும் நன்மை தரும்.

Message For the Day…” What You Should Pray and Seek from God …” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

You should not pray to God seeking this favour or that. The reason is no one knows what immensely precious, Divine and magnificent treasures lie in the treasure-house of Divine Grace. You can never know what God intends or desires to give you, His devotee. Under such situations by asking for trivial and petty things, you are demeaning His Divine estate. Hence do not seek from God, nor desire, nor pray for petty trinkets. More precious and desirable than anything else is God’s love. Hence Mother Meera sang: “Oh heart, drink the nectar of Divine love.” If you must ask for anything from God, then pray to Him thus: “O Lord! Let me have You alone.” Once you have secured the Lord, you can get anything you want. When you can get the precious Divine love, why crave for anything else?

Message For the Day…” God Maintains balance in dealing with His Devotees…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

In dealing with devotees, the Lord has to maintain a balance. Here is an example from the life of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. In olden times or the present, there are always some people who indulge in calumny against good men. Once, two of his disciples experienced some villagers abusing the noble sage in two different incidents. In response, Brahmananda, a young gentle devotee, shed tears. Vivekananda retorted and threatened the villagers. Sage Ramakrishna disagreed with both their actions! Explaining, he taught, “There are four tyres for a car. The pressure in the front tyre and rear tyres must be as prescribed. If there is excessive pressure in some tyres, it should be reduced. If some tyres have low pressure, they have to be inflated. Only then the car will run smoothly. Vivekananda suffers from excessive pressure; he requires to be deflated. Brahmananda is too weak, so he has to be inflated.”

Things That will be so Costly in Future that You will think Twice buying …!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

If you think your life is going in the right direction and your speed of minting money is pretty steady, think again. This article might already make you feel broke for the future. Don’t mean to scare you, but it’s good if you’re scared. Or worried. Here is a list of things that are soon going to be unaffordable. If you may ask why? It is because the population of idiots is growing who don’t value things in time and demand like a greedy buffalo.

Take a look at the things that are difficult to prevent and may cost a bomb in the future.

Honey. Yeah, sounds like no big deal? Think again

 

6th-honey

This is because a rapid decline of adult bees in the colony is observed. Beekeepers have reported 90% reduction in their colonies. This is affecting the crops that require pollination through industrial bees. So, basically it is not just honey that will grow expensive, but the livelihood of beekeepers will also be affected.

 

8 All the chocolate lovers, here is a bad news. In a few years, the prices of the original chocolate made of cocoa butter will shoot up like a rocket in the October sky

8th-chocolate-cocoa

Cocoa beans require extremely hot climate and generally grow near the equator. This crop is difficult to grow and takes about 5 years to complete a crop and incredibly hot climate, that can’t be outsourced to machines. Yes, chocolates will be as good as buying gold. Chocolate jewelry sounds yum though.

 

This one’s a shocker. Freshwater

10th-fresh-water

It’s time you stop taking this “Blue gold” for granted. Many parts of the world like The US, India, Israel, middle east etc., are facing water shortage because of prolonged droughts. Ready to help clean all the rivers?

 

 

 

 

” The ’11th’ Seat in AirBus 380 Super Jumbo …!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Want to fly on the Airbus A380 superjumbo? Get ready to feel the squeeze. Airbus has proposed a new cabin layout that would add an 11th seat to the super jumbo’s economy cabin.

Introduced this week at the World Aircraft Interior Expo in Hamburg, the new layout features three seats on either side with five seats in the middle section — making the sought-after aisle seat even more coveted. Currently, the vast majority of A380s in service are configured with 10 seats per row in economy with three seats on either side and just four seats in the middle.

According to USA Today, the new 11 across-layout called “Economy Choice” could be installed in new Airbus A380s as soon as 2017.

But why would Airbus want to do this? Airbus is desperate to expand its customer base for the A380. Of the 317 superjumbos ordered, 140 have of them have been bought by one airline — Emirates.

Only 13 airlines around the world operate the mammoth double decker. For such a heavily hyped and expensive aircraft ($US25 billion development cost), the reception for the airlines have not been as warm as expected by Airbus. In fact, the company has not had a single A380 order from an airline since 2013 — and that, unsurprisingly, was by Emirates.

Sadly, this increased load capacity will mean less elbow room for those unfortunate enough to be stuck in “sardine class.”

Message For the day…” Arise and Awaken yourself Here and Now…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

As long as you have worldly desires in view, you cannot escape sorrow. Joy and peace are not present in external objects; they are within you. But in your foolishness, you search for them outside yourself in the external world. For sure, you are bound to depart from this ephemeral world – perhaps today or tomorrow. Therefore realising its impermanence, try to know the essence of the eternal Truth. Try to experience the love that is God (Paramatma) itself. Discriminate at every turn, accepting what is true and discarding the rest. Anyone and everyone can easily grasp the relationship you (jiva) have with your Creator, if you acquire these three chief instruments – (1) a mind unsullied by attachment and hatred (2) speech unsullied by falsehood and (3) a body unsullied by violence. Arise and awaken yourself, here and now!

Image of the Day….Solar Arrays on the International Space Station…

NatarajanLeave a comment

Expedition 43 Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti of the European Space Agency (ESA) photographed the giant solar arrays on the International Space Station on Feb. 12, 2015.

The space station’s solar arrays contain a total of 262,400 solar cells and cover an area of about 27,000 square feet (2,500 square meters) — more than half the area of a football field. A solar array’s wingspan of 240 feet (73 meters) is longer than a Boeing 777’s wingspan, which is 212 feet (65 meters). Altogether, the four sets of arrays can generate 84 to 120 kilowatts of electricity — enough to provide power to more than 40 homes. The solar arrays produce more power than the station needs at one time for station systems and experiments. When the station is in sunlight, about 60 percent of the electricity that the solar arrays generate is used to charge the station’s batteries. At times, some or all of the solar arrays are in the shadow of Earth or the shadow of part of the station. This means that those arrays are not collecting sunlight. The batteries power the station when it is not in the sun.

Message For the Day…” Hatred Towards anyone is Hatred For God…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

The Divine has comes as Avatar only to teach mankind the truth about love. Love alone is the fruit of love. True Love has no trace of self-interest and knows no fear. The world displays the diversity that has emanated from the One. The Divine demonstrates the unity that subsumes the diversity. Recognition of this ‘Unity in Diversity’ can be learnt only from the Divine. Wherever you go, whatever you do or see, cultivate the sacred feeling that you will do only those actions which pleases God. The Gita has declared: Bear no ill-will towards any living being(Adveshtaa Sarva Bhoothaanaam). Hatred towards anyone is hatred for God. The scriptures have also clearly declared: The salutation that you offer to anyone reaches the Divine. When you fill your hearts with love, you will have no hatred towards anyone. Cultivate the faith that the Divine is in everyone and surrender unto Him in a spirit of true dedication.
