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

April 19, 2015NatarajanLeave 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 …” !!!

April 19, 2015Natarajan1 Comment

‘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.

படித்து ரசித்தது ….” அங்கே பாட்டு , இங்கே பட்டு …” !!!

April 19, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

மறைந்த தமிழறிஞர் கி.வா.ஜகந்நாதன் எழுதுகிறார்: மயிலாப்பூர் வெள்ளீஸ்வரர் கோவிலில், ஒட்டக்கூத்தர் திருவிழா நடந்தது. அப்போதைய அறநிலைய துறை ஆணையர் நரசிம்மன் தலைமையில், நானும், சிலரும் பேசினோம்.
கூட்டம் துவங்குவதற்கு முன், கோவில் அறங்காவலர்கள், ஆணையர் நரசிம்மனுக்கு, ஒரு தட்டில் மாலை மற்றும் பட்டு வஸ்திரம் எடுத்து வந்தனர். சட்டென்று அந்தப் பட்டை எடுத்து எனக்குப் போட்டு, மாலையையும் அணிவித்தார் நரசிம்மன். எனக்கு மிகவும் தர்மசங்கடமாக இருந்தது.
சுவாமி தரிசனம் முடிந்த பின், கூட்டம் துவங்கியது. தலைவர் உரை முடிந்ததும், பேசத் துவங்கினேன்…
‘இன்று நாம் ஒட்டக்கூத்தர் திருநாளைக் கொண்டாடுகிறோம். சிறிது நேரத்திற்கு முன், இறைவன் சன்னிதியில் ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சி நடந்தது. அது, ஒட்டக்கூத்தர் காலத்து நிகழ்ச்சி ஒன்றை நினைக்கச் செய்தது.
‘ஒட்டக்கூத்தர் அடுத்தடுத்து, மூன்று சோழர்கள் காலத்தில் வாழ்ந்தவர். இரண்டாம் குலோத்துங்கனுக்கு, அவர் ஆசிரியராகவும், அவை புலவராகவும் இருந்தார். ஒரு நாள், புலவர்களும், அறிஞர்களும் கூடியிருந்த அரசவையில், சிம்மாசனத்தில் அமர்ந்திருந்தான் குலோத்துங்கன். அப்போது ஒட்டக்கூத்தர், அவனைப் புகழ்ந்து பாடத் துவங்கினார்.
‘தன் அரண்மனை வாயிலில் தொங்கும் ஆராய்ச்சி மணியின் நா என்றும் அசையாதபடி, யாருக்கும் குறையில்லாமல் செய்து, இவ்வுலகமெல்லாம் பரந்த குடையைத் தரித்த பிரான்…’ என்ற பொருள் அமைய,
ஆடும் கடைமணி நா அசை
யாமல் அகிலமெல்லாம்
நீடும் குடையைத் தரித்த பிரான்…
– என, தொடர்ந்து பாட்டை அவர் சொல்வதற்குள், குலோத்துங்க சோழன், தானே அப்பாட்டின் பிற்பகுதியைச் பாடினான்.
‘தினந்தோறும் புதிய கவிதையைப் பாடும், கவிப் பெருமானாகிய ஒட்டக்கூத்தனுடைய பாதத் தாமரைகளை, தலையில் அணியும் குலோத்துங்க சோழனென்று என்னை உலகினர் சொல்வர்…’ என, பொருள் அமைத்து,
என்றும் நித்தம் நலம்
பாடும் கவிப்பெரு மான் ஒட்டக்
கூத்தன் பாதாம் புயத்தைச் சூடும் குலோத்துங்க சோழன் என்றே
எனைச் சொல்லுவரே!
என்று பாடி முடித்தான். அவையோர், குலோத்துங்கனின் குரு பக்தியை பாராட்டினர்.
‘தனக்கு வந்த புகழ் மாலையை ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளாமல், அதை ஒட்டக்கூத்தருக்கே அளித்து விட்டான் குலோத்துங்கன். இங்கே, ஆண்டவன் சன்னிதியில் தமக்குப் போட இருந்த பட்டையும், மாலையையும் எனக்குப் போட்டு விட்டார் ஆணையர் நரசிம்மன். அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியும், இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியும் ஒரு வகையில் ஒப்புமை உடையதாகத் தோன்றுகிறதல்லவா? அங்கே பாட்டு; இங்கே பட்டு…’ என்றேன்.
அவையோர் இதைக் கேட்டு, கைதட்டி ஆரவாரித்தனர்; எனக்கும், என் நன்றியை ஒரு விதமாக வெளிப்படுத்தி விட்ட மகிழ்ச்சி!

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

April 18, 2015NatarajanLeave 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?

“A Mega Cruiser Which Will be Bigger than Sydney Opera House …”

April 18, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

The largest cruise ship to ever visit Australia, Ovation of the Seas, is coming to Sydney in summer 2016.

The Royal Caribbean megaliner is currently being built in Germany at a cost of $US1 billion ($AU1.3 billion).
Ovation of the Seas Sydney Harbour

This giant floating apartment block can carry up to 5000 passengers and 1500 crew. It will be 348 metres long and more than 50m tall, with 18 decks. At a gross weight of 168,666 tonnes, it’s the equal third largest cruise liner in the world. Royal Caribbean will have the top 5 largest cruise ships in the world when it’s complete.

It will join the other four superliners calling Australia home during summer: Voyager of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas in Sydney and Legend of the Seas in Brisbane.

In a move that will please nearby residents concerned about sulfur emissions, it will have a new purification system, known as scrubbers, that removes 97% of sulfur dioxide emissions from the engines, although the Baird government has promised to ban the use of bunker fuel, which has 3.5% sulfur, before Ovation comes online.

Among the attractions the Ovation will carry are an onboard virtual skydiving chamber, a capsule observatory on a robotic arm rising above the ship for 360-degree views, and a “bionic” bar where cocktails are ordered on tablet, then made by two bionic arms and served without human intervention.

Bookings for Ovation of the Seas open in mid 2015.

The Australian cruise industry is currently worth around $2.3 billion.

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

April 18, 2015NatarajanLeave 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.”

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

April 16, 2015NatarajanLeave 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.”

Natural Remedies Readily Available in your Kitchen…

April 15, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

People take a lot of pills today. And sometimes that’s ok. But using too many painkillers can really cause your body damage. So, if your pain is small to moderate, nature has provided us with quite a number of natural painkillers. These 19 foods are natural cures and can be used to alleviate many types of pain.

Muscle Pain – Ginger

Danish researchers found that regular consumption of ginger could reduce chronic muscle and joint pains, as well as swelling and stiffness within just a couple of months. The credit goes to the main ingredient in ginger – Gingerol, which inhibits the production of pain-inducing hormones. A teaspoon of dried ginger or 2 teaspoons of fresh ginger every day will do the trick.

Toothaches – Cloves

Powdered cloves are a known home remedy for toothaches and gingivitis. Furthermore, a recent research from the University of California proved it scientifically by isolating the active ingredient that reduces the pain. It is an organic compound called eugenol – a powerful natural anesthetic. ¼ teaspoon every day will help keep your heart healthy, and scientists are saying that it also aids in stabilizing blood-sugar levels and even starts lowering cholesterol levels within three weeks.

Acid Reflux – Apple Cider Vinegar

If heartburn constantly plagues you, you can stop them with apple cider vinegar. The active ingredients in the vinegar that treat reflux are malic acid and tartaric acid, which quicken digestion and help your body break down fats and proteins. Faster digestion means fewer chances for the stomach to overflow with acids, causing the reflux. By adding just a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a cup of water before every meal can prevent acid reflux within 24 hours.

Earache – Garlic

‘

Often referred to as “nature’s antibiotics”, garlic indeed possesses powerful anti-inflammatory qualities. Experts from the Mexico School of Medicine claim that applying two drops of warm garlic oil into the ear can cure an ear infection in five days. Garlic contains minerals such as selenium, germanium and sulfur, all are very toxic to most kinds of bacteria. To make your own garlic oil, slowly cook (do not boil) three garlic cloves in half a cup of olive oil for two minutes. Filter the oil and use it as instructed (make sure it’s not too hot). The oil can keep for up to two weeks in the fridge.

Headaches and join pains – Cherries

Michigan State University found that the daily consumption of a bowl of cherries is highly beneficial for people who suffer from headaches and various joint inflammations. Anthocyanin is the pigment that gives cherries their bright red color. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory, ten times more powerful than ibuprofen or aspirin. Anthocyanin actively paralyzes the enzymes that cause tissue inflammation, making cherries the perfect treatment. Eating about 20 cherries every day will do the trick.

Stomachaches – Fish

Indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, enteritis – all of these can be treated by eating fish. Many a research have shown that Omega3 fatty acids found in fish can actively reduce stomach cramping and enteritis. In some cases, Omega3 was found to be as effective as prescription medicine. The fatty acids aid in maintaining the general health of the digestive system thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties. 1 pound of fish per week is enough to support the digestive system. The fish richest in Omega3 are salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel, sardines, and trout.

PMS – Yogurt

80% of women suffer from PMS-related pains before and during their periods. The reason for the pain is the nervous system’s sensitivity to the changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. A study conducted at Columbia University found that eating two servings of yogurt daily can reduce the intensity of PMS pains by almost 50%. Yogurt is rich in calcium, a mineral that naturally soothes the nervous system, thus preventing painful symptoms despite the hormonal changes.

Chronic Pains – Turmeric

Turmeric was found to be three times more powerful than ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen. Researchers from Cornell University found that turmeric can heal up to 50% of people suffering from arthritis and fibromyalgia. The active ingredient in turmeric – curcumin, paralyzes the enzyme that causes serial pain. A ¼ teaspoon of turmeric every day will reduce your chronic pains considerably.

Endometriosis – Oats

When the tissue that normally grows inside the uterus grows outside the uterus, it may cause a severe and painful inflammation that drags on long after the end of the period. Luckily, an oats-rich diet can reduce up to 60% of the pains within six months. The reason is that oats don’t contain gluten, which can induce inflammation in many women.

Ingrown Toenails and Toothaches – Salt

An ingrown toenail is a common ailment that affects millions of people around the world. Luckily, it’s easily treatable by using salt-water. Stanford University researchers found that soaking your feet in salt water can heal ingrown-related infections in just four days. Salt is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, so adding just a teaspoon to a cup of warm water, and then add it to your foot bath twice a day until the infection is gone. Additionally, dentists recommend gargling with salt water to treat and prevent gingivitis. Finally, gargling with salt water can also help when you’re suffering from a throat infection.

Indigestion – Pineapple

Pineapples are a delicious tropical fruit that is rich in protein-breaking enzymes. These enzymes help the body with the digestion processes, speeding it up and reducing stomach pains that come from gas buildups. Researchers at Stanford University found that one cup of fresh pineapple every day can treat pain caused by gas within 72 hours.

Muscle Pains – Mint

Cramped muscles can be painful for months, especially if they originate from incorrect posture or reoccurring overexertion. A hot bath with ten drops of mint oil, three times a week, are 25% more effective than prescription drugs. The hot water help relax and loosen the muscles while the mint oil soothes the aching nervous system. Such treatment will also help reduce the frequency of future pains.

Backaches – Grapes

In a study conducted at the University of Ohio, researchers found that one cup of fresh grapes per day can help improve blood flow to the damaged tissue in the back, sometimes within as little three hours. The spine is highly dependent on the nutrients and oxygen in the blood, making eating grapes a highly beneficial act.

Injury-Related Pains – Water

Good old H2O – we need it to survive, but researchers at Manhattan College in New York found that water can also easy pain from injuries. When body tissue is damaged, it produces a chemical compound called histamine, which causes pain. Water dilutes the amounts of histamine in the blood, thus effectively reducing the level of pain. Water is also essential for the health of the cartilage tissue between our bones, as well as lubricate our joints, as well as the soft tissues in our spine. A well-hydrated body is a well-lubricated machine, which prevents joint pains. Doctors recommend drinking 8 cups of water per day.

Sinus Pain – Horseradish

Sinusitis is a chronic disease that affects many people. It is effectively a state of infection of the cavities in the skull. Sinusitis causes severe headaches, face pains and can even hinder breathing. German researchers discovered that horseradish can increase the blood flow to the sinuses, decongesting them and draining any obstructions that may cause the infection. Eat a teaspoon of horseradish every day until your symptoms are gone.

Oral Infections – Honey

Experts from the Dubai Center for Health recommend treating mouth sores, cold sores and other oral infections with honey. Honey contains anti-inflammatory enzymes that destroy viruses and speed up the healing process. To effectively treat such sores, it is recommended that you apply unpasteurized honey directly onto the wounds four times a day. The healing process will take 43% less time compared to OTC ointments and creams.

Chest Pains – Flax Seeds

Flax seeds contain phytoestrogen, a compound that prevents changes in estrogen levels that cause some women pain. All you need to do is to add three tablespoons of flax seeds to your daily diet. This should help with the pain within 12 weeks.

Migraines – Coffee

People suffering from chronic headaches or migraines can benefit from drinking coffee. Caffeine improves the stomach lining’s ability to absorb medication, increasing its effectiveness by up to 40%. If you’re taking headache medication – take it with a cup of coffee.

Cramped Muscles – Tomato Juice

Our muscles tend to cramp when our bodies don’t have enough potassium. Diuretics or excessive sweating can cause potassium deficiency. Potassium is a mineral that is essential to our muscles’ health. A study conducted by the University of California found that drinking one cup of tomato juice every day can help ease cramped muscles and prevent future occurrences, thanks to the high levels of potassium in it.
