Message For The Day….Talk Sweetly…Talk Only When It is Essential…

NatarajanLeave a comment

The subtle effect of mantras (mystic formulae) mentioned in the Vedas cannot be seen or heard by the senses; they have to be experienced in and through the inner consciousness, the Anthahkarana. The sound of these mantras has the power to transform the impulses and tendencies. The word mantra means ‘that which saves when turned over in the mind’. Repeating the mantra constantly in the mind will keep off wild talk, purposeless conversation, aimless gossip and scandal. Talk only when the talk is most essential and talk only as little as is necessary. Talk sweetly and without any reservations or circumvention. I want all to be convinced of the excellence of these teachings of the Vedas and Shasthras(scriptures).

Message For The Day….Strive to Remain Free From the deceases of Hatred &Bad Thoughts….

NatarajanLeave a comment

External cleanliness, devoid of internal cleanliness is nothing short of deceitfulness. Internal cleanliness is more essential than external cleanliness. Though a cup may be clean and attractive outside, we cannot drink water from it, if it is unclean inside. Food cooked in copper vessels turns poisonous, if the vessel does not have a silver coating inside. Hence, observe internal cleanliness with meticulous care. Strive to remain free from the diseases of hatred, bad thoughts and vicious practices. God has gifted you this human body for achieving excellence in your daily life and attaining proximity with Divinity. Cultivate spirituality, acquire spiritual traits, attain proximity to the Divine and merge in Him. This must be your firm resolve. You can achieve this by sanctifying your body with sacred actions, until your last breath.

Message For The Day….Ensure You Do All Actions As Per Your Consceince…

NatarajanLeave a comment

For a person living in the materialistic world, the sensual pleasures are a source of extreme delight. However, the senses themselves are temporary, and hence grant only transitory joy. To a person suffering from jaundice, everything looks yellow and tastes bitter. So too senses fraught with illness cannot give true happiness. As there is no person without desire, and it is difficult to live without desire in this world, Lord Krishna came out with an excellent solution. He said, “Perform all actions for the pleasure of the Lord without an eye on the fruits of the action.” Pay your respect to duty and dedicate all actions to the Divine. Ensure you do all actions to the satisfaction of your conscience and then your heart is free from all blemishes. Such an action qualifies to become an act of Anapeksha, not tainted by desire….

Message For The Day….True Message From Navarathri Festival… One”s Mother is the Embodiment of All Divine Forces …

NatarajanLeave a comment

The supreme Shakti manifests Herself in the form of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi. Durga grants us energy – physical, mental and spiritual. Lakshmi bestows on us wealth – not just money but intellectual wealth, the wealth of character, goodness and health. Health is also wealth! Saraswati bestows on us intelligence, the capacity for intellectual enquiry and the power of discrimination. Hence, Navaratri (nine-nights) festival is celebrated in order to proclaim to the world the power of the Divine Mother. One’s own mother is the combination of all these Divine beings. She provides you with energy, wealth and intelligence. She constantly desires your advancement in life and hence represents all the three Goddesses. Recognising one’s mother as the very embodiment of all divine forces, one must show reverence to her and treat her with love. This is the true message that the Navaratri festival gives us.

A Safari From Your Laptop !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

Most people use Google Street View to explore cities and monuments, but it can also be used to go on a virtual safari.

As part of National Geographic’s Great Nature Project, people of all ages have been invited to take pictures of animals and plants and upload them online, Google Maps has shared a collection of images purposely showing off the local wildlife in far-flung locales.

The ultimate goal of the Great Nature Project is to set a Guinness World Record for the largest online photo album of animals, the project’s website proclaims.

From sea turtles swimming off the coast of Heron Island near the Great Barrier Reef to monkeys bathing in hot springs at Japan’s Jigokudani Monkey Park, Street View has purposely taken pictures of many animals.

Street View cameras have also captured more random instances of nature at work, like seagulls nabbing a meal or frogs that jump onto the camera lens in the Brazilian Amazon.

Message For The Day….Purify Your Heart with Mantras to Get God Installed inside Your Heart …

NatarajanLeave a comment

Mantra means that which saves, when meditated upon. The Name of God, any one of His countless ones, can serve the purpose. The Name is like the goad that can tame the elephant in rut, make it bend its knees and lift the log on to its tusks. Liberation (Moksha) is not a five-star hotel, or a deluxe tourist home. It is just the awareness of your reality and the rejection of all contrary conceptions. You can recognise your Self quickly and clearly, if you purify your heart with a mantra or by the singing of the glory of God. Both will grant you that boon. Sing from the heart, conscious of the layers of meaning that each word has. These are the surest ways to have God firmly installed in the throne of your hearts and it will redeem your lives.

Message For The Day….Call of Divine Echoes in Every Heart …

NatarajanLeave a comment

The ascend to a human form has been made possible for you all; but you will truly be deserving of this high status among the animals, only by finally merging in the Divine. That is the goal which the pilgrimage of evolution has in view since life began on earth as the amoeba on the waters. Faith in that goal and steady march towards it, are the signs of one being aware of the responsibility of being a human. The Call of the Divine echoes in every heart; it provokes the reaction of awe, reverence, affection, love and sacrifice – all ingredients of devotion (bhakthi). It translates itself into acts of worship, of praise, of adoration and of rituals. The mind through these means gets saturated with divine thoughts and is recast in the divine mould, until the flow of bliss (Aananda) is unabated.

Message For The Day…. See Yourself as your Self Unrelated to Others …

NatarajanLeave a comment

Arjuna entered the battlefield, fully equipped and fanatically determined to destroy his enemies. But, when he stood on the battlefield in the chariot driven by Lord Krishna, he saw ‘my teachers’, ‘my grandfather’, ‘my kinsmen’ and ‘my cousins’. He was moved so much by this sense of ‘I’ and ‘mine’ that he discarded the bow and desired to return, poor and beaten. The ‘I’ has really nothing to do with earthly possessions, but being deluded he identified himself with earthly relationships. This is the moha (delusion) from which he was saved, through the Bhagavad Gita. Be unmoved by duality; that is the lesson. Let not defeat or success affect your inner calm. See yourself as your Self, unrelated to others or to the objective world. When you know your true Self, you are liberated: that is Moksha.
