message for the day
“It Does not Matter if the Glass is Half empty or Half full “…..

If you approach each day with a smile, see the goodness in people, and make lemonade out of lemons, then you are a “half-full person.” You don’t care if it’s going to rain because the clouds are so beautiful. If you’re stuck in traffic, you enjoy the music or your passenger’s company. But if you approach your day with a negative attitude and notice or experience more bad than good, then your approach is half empty. You are your own worst enemy: you sabotage your own fun and your own joy of life. So cut it out. Retrain yourself to notice only the good things in any situation until you rid yourself of this horrible habit. Don’t be a dream killer . . . for yourself or anyone else.

Message For the Day…”Everything is HIS ..That is the Eternal Truth “…
Shed the feeling of ‘mine’ and ‘yours!’ – these attitudes are only for temporary identification. Everything is ‘His’ – that is the eternal truth. Be like the headmaster of a school who takes temporary charge of the furniture in the school. The headmaster treats the furniture with diligence and hands over the items when he is transferred or retired. Treat all people and objects, entrusted and endowed to you with due care and diligence as the headmaster treats the furniture. Be always aware that they do not belong to you! Be always aware that the final checking-up is imminent. Have your accounts ready for inspection and handover, and be ready; wait for that moment with joy!

Message For The Day…”Serve anyone in Need With Full Heart and Experience The Resultant JOY”
|
Service is the highest penance and serving any living being is to serve Him. Many do acts of service as ‘social service’, not as aSadhana (spiritual act). Through Seva Sadhana, Hanuman attained identity with Rama, just as the river attains identity with the sea. Arjuna too considered his every act as Sadhana to attain Lord Krishna’s grace. He followed Krishna’s counsel, “Mamanusmara Yuddhyacha – fight, ever keeping Me in mind.” You too should keep God ever in your mind as the pace-setter for every task you do. Serve anyone in need with a full heart and experience the resultant joy. It may be small and even unnoticed by others, but must be done to please the God within you. Every act of genuine Seva attracts the Grace of God.

Message for the Day…Education and Educare …
What is education? It is of two types: The first type is collection of facts and knowledge about the external world, and sharing them with students. The second type is educare. Educare involves the deep understanding of the knowledge that springs from within, and imparting it to students. But today’s education gives knowledge only about the external world. Only culture or refinement can develop good personality and not this type of education. So only if education is blended with culture, it will shine forth as true education. What is culture? It is the cultivation of discrimination between good and evil, sin and merit, and truth and untruth that we experience in our daily life. It is also removal of one’s evil thoughts, feelings and qualities, and cultivation of good thoughts, feelings and qualities. Not only this, culture makes one broad-minded.

Why Should We Visit Temples More Often ….
Temple Truth….Why Should We visit Temples?

Now, these temples are located strategically a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of North /South pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as “Garbhagriha” or “Moolasthanam”. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This “Moolasthanam” is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum.
We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic Scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really?
No, they are not GOD’s / Priest’s flash cards when they forget the “Shlokas”. The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life.
Further, the Sanctum is closed on three sides. This increases the effect of all energies. Th elamp that is lit radiates heat energy and also provides light inside the sanctum to the priests or poojaris performing the pooja. The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers takes a worshiper into trance, thus not letting his mind waver. When done in groups, this helps people forget personal problems for a while and relieve their stress. The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor give out the chemical energy further aiding in a different good aura.
The effect of all these energies is supplimented by the positive energy from the idol, the copper plates and utensils in the “Moolasthanam” / Garbhagraham”. “Theertham”, the holy water used during the pooja to wash the idol is not plain water cleaning the dust off an idol. It is a concoction of Cardamom, Karpura (Benzoin), Zaffron (Saffron), Tulasi (Holi Basil), Clove, etc. washing the idol is to charge the water with the magnetic radiations thus increasing its medicinial values. Three spoons of this holy water is distributed to devotees, Again, this water is mainly a source of magneto-therapy. Besides, the clove essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron and tulasi leafs protect one from common cold and cough, cardamom and Pachha Karpuram act as mouth fresheners.
It is proved that “Theertham” is a very good blood purifier, as it is highly energized. Hence it is given as “Prasadam” to the devotees. This way, one can claim to remain healthy by regularly visiting the temples. This is why our elders used to suggest us to offer prayers at the temple so that you will be cured of many ailments. They were not always superstitious. Yes, in a few cases they did go overboard when due to ignorance they hoped many serious diseases could be cured at temples by deities.
When people go to a temple for the “Deepaaraadhana” and when the doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the persons who are there. The water that is sprinkled onto the assemblages passes on the energy to all. This also explains why men are not allowed to wear shirts at a few temples and women are requested to wear more ornaments during temple visits. It is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed by the women.
Also, it is a practice to leave newly purchased jewels at an idols’s feet and then wear them with the idol’s blessings. This act is now justified after reading this article. This act of seeking diving blessings before using any new article, like books or pens or automobiles may have stemmed from this through mere observation.
Energy lost in a day’s work is regained through a temple visit and one is refreshed slightly. The positive energy that is spread out in the entire temple and especially around where the main idol is placed, are simply absorbed by one’s body and mind.
Did you know, every Vaishnava (Vishnu Devotees), must visit a Vishnu temple twice everyday in their location. Our practices are NOT some hard and fast rules framed by one man and his followers or God’s words in somebody’s dreams. All the rituals, all the practices are, in reality, studied and scientifically backed thesis which form the ways of nature to lead a good healthy life.
The scientific and research part of the practices are well camouflaged as“Elder’s instructions” or “Granny’s teachings” which should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again, avoid stress to the mediocre brains.

Message For the Day…”God is Always With You , In You and Around You “…
May you all develop Divine Love and stand out as the harbingers of a new age, free from selfishness, greed, hatred and violence. Let each of you be light unto yourself and thereby be a light unto others. There should be no differences or quarrel amongst devotees. When you come together and work on a common cause, there should be no scramble for power or position. What matters is the purity, intensity and sincerity of the devotion and the spirit of selfless sacrifice in which each devotee renders service to the needy and the suffering. God is always with you, in you and around you. When all differences are eradicated and devotees unite and conduct themselves with selfless devotion, each one of you will realise that God and you are one. I bless you so you may attain that bliss. This is Sai’s Message to you all.
