Do not yield to the snares of friends or society or miscalled social conventions and become prey to smoking and other such bad habits. They destroy health, happiness, energy and even charm. Smoke disfigures your face and denigrates your lungs. It debilitates you and makes you diseased. The body is the temple of the Lord; keep it in good and strong condition. This skeletal cage or body is the Hasthinapuram, where we have the blind king, Dhritarashtra, the symbol of ignorance, as well as Yudhistira, the symbol of wisdom. Let the forces of Yudhistira win with the help of Sri Krishna. Let the tongue, accustomed to the bitterness of the margosa fruit of worldly triumphs and disasters, taste the sweet honey of remembering the Lord’s name. Experiment with this and you will be surprised at the result. You can feel the vast improvement in peace and stability in you and around you. Learn this easy lesson, get immersed in joy, and let others also share that joy with you.

Message for the Day…”Have Lord’s Name ever in your thoughts and you can brave any calamity!The seedling of devotion must be carefully watered, weeded, manured, and dusted with pesticides, to yield a harvest of love, peace and joy.”

You are judged by your spiritual discipline not by the number of temples you go to or the quantity and the cost of the offerings you have made there. Do not calculate the length of time you have spent in the company of the Lord’s Name and exult! Calculate rather the length of time you wasted, away from that contact and repent. Have Lord’s Name ever in your thoughts and you can brave any calamity! Remember how Mother Sita braved the taunts, insults and tortures of the aggressors in Lanka; what gave her the mental stamina? It was the Lord’s name (Rama nama) and nothing else. Desire and anger (Kama and krodha) cannot co-exist with true devotion to God. Your devotion to God must be sincere and steady. Bhakti is not a matter of beads and beards nor does worship consist of flowers and camphor! The seedling of devotion must be carefully watered, weeded, manured, and dusted with pesticides, to yield a harvest of love, peace and joy.

Message for the Day…”Remember the Lord with thankfulness at least thrice or even twice a day; that will give you great peace. Do not give up your worldly duties, but do them with the name of God on your lips.”

Worry and grief of one sort or another will always be there, in the past, present, and future, while walking, dreaming, and sleeping. But place faith in the Lord and do your tasks as dedication to Him and they will definitely vanish! Remember the Lord with thankfulness at least thrice or even twice a day; that will give you great peace. Do not give up your worldly duties, but do them with the name of God on your lips. Do not involve yourselves in the affairs of others to the extent that you get so entangled that you cannot extricate yourselves. Spend your time in the contemplation of the beauties of nature, which are spread out before you in earth and sky – lovely green expanses, soothing and joyful cool breezes, the panorama of coloured clouds and the music of the birds. Sing the glories of God as you walk along. Do not talk hatefully, do not get angry, do not disturb the sky with your shouts and curses, and do not pollute the air with vengeful boasts.

In a Madurai Bus Stand, Mothers with Hungry Infants Get Free Milk Thanks to This Man…

NatarajanLeave a comment

Eight years ago, Guna Suresh was travelling to Chennai with his family, when the bus got stuck at Koyambedu bus terminal at noon. His brother had a baby with him, who was crying for milk. They managed to find a milk shop but later found out that the milk they bought was spoilt.

After this incident, Guna realised how important access to milk for babies was, especially in situations like this. He decided he wanted to provide free milk to infants across the country. At his shop in Maatuthavani bus stand in Tamil Nadu, hundreds of women can be seen walking with their infants in their arms.

This is where Guna provides free milk to them whenever they visit his shop.

“The milk is pure and never spoilt,” he told Edex Live, adding, “On a regular day, at least 20 infants are given milk. The number goes up when the crowd gets bigger during festivities. We offer milk to underprivileged mothers as well,” he adds.

Guna’s shop is easy to spot at the bus stand, with a board that mentions his service of providing free milk. Women read the board and happily avail his service.

Profits mean nothing Guna. It is the satisfaction he gets when he helps these women and their babies which matters to him the most. He has been urging other shopkeepers near other bus stands in Tamil Nadu to provide similar services to women. He also says that as his financial status improves, he will do more to help them.

Message for the Day…”Atma-Rama, the Rama who confers eternal joy, is present in your heart. So repeat His name, it is the Sun that can make the lotus in your heart bloom”.

Atma-Rama, the Rama who confers eternal joy, is present in your heart. So repeat His name, it is the Sun that can make the lotus in your heart bloom. Rama is not the son of Emperor Dasaratha but of the ruler of your ten senses (dasendriyas). The recital of Rama’s name must become as automatic, frequent and essential as breathing. The seed letters of Rama are from the Shiva and Narayana mantra, for it is composed of the second letters of both: Na-ra-yana and Na-mah-sivaya. The name Rama endows you with power and all the spiritual capital you need. It has a form too, and you should picture the form when you repeat the name; then the name becomes concrete and its remembrance is easier. Live always in the presence of that form-filled name. Then life becomes one continuous worship of the Lord.

Joke of the Day…” Whose phone is this …?”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club.

 

A mobile phone on a bench rings and a man answers it, engaging the loudspeaker function as he does so. Everyone in the room stops to listen to the conversation.

“Hey babe, I’m at the city center mall now and I found this gorgeous coat. It’s only $1,000. Can I buy it?” asks the woman at the other end.

“Sure, if you like it then go ahead!” replies the man.

“I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2016 models. There’s one I LOVE and it’s $98,000,” the woman continues.

“Okay, go ahead and buy it. Just make sure it comes with all the options for that price though,” the man says.

Pushing her luck even further, the woman asks: “Do you remember that house I wanted last year? Well, it’s back on the market for $980,000…”

“Make an offer of $900,000 – they’ll probably accept it. Go to $950,000 if you think it’s a really good price for the house,” the man replies.

“Okay honey, see you later! I love you so much – you’re so good to me,” the woman says.

“You’re worth it. Goodbye dear,” replies the man, and hangs up the call.

By this point, the men in the room are aghast, mouths wide open.

The man says: “Hey guys, does anyone know whose phone this is?”
