A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, “I know what the Bible means!”
His father smiled and replied, “What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?
The son replied, “I do know!”“Okay,” said his father. “What does the Bible mean?”
“That’s easy, Daddy…” the young boy replied excitedly,It stands for ‘Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.'”………………….
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bibleto her brother in another part of the country.
“Is there anything breakable in here?” asked the postal clerk.
“Only the Ten Commandments.” answered the lady.
……………………
“Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world.There are those who wake up in the morning and say,
“Good morning, Lord,”and there are those who wake up in the morning and say,
“Good Lord, it is morning.”………………………A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn’t find a space with a meter.
Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read:“I have circled the block 10 times. If I don’t park here, I’ll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.”
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note :“I’ve circled this block for 10 years. If I don’t give you a ticket I’ll lose my job.Lead us not into temptation.”========
There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation:“I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new gym-fellowship hall building program.The bad news is, it is still out there in your pockets.”========
While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage.The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign… “Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass.Caution: Do not step in exhaust.”========
A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question,“Boys and girls, what do we know about God?”
A hand shot up in the air.“He is an artist!” said the kindergarten boy.
“Really? How do you know?” the teacher asked.
“You know – Our Father, who does art in Heaven… ”========
A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend.The attendant worked quickly but there were many cars ahead of him.Finally the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.
“Reverend,” said the young man, “I’m so sorry about the delay.It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get readyfor a long trip.”The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean.It is the same in my business.”========
People want the front of the bus,
the back of the church,and the center of attention.========
Sunday, after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about.
The daughter answered, “Don’t be scared, you’ll get your quilt.”
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning’s Sunday school lesson was about.
He said “Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.”========
The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation
to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building.Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
“Here’s a copy of the service,” he said impatiently.“But, you’ll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.”
During the service, the minister paused and said, “Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up.”
At that moment, the substitute organist played “The Star Spangled Banner.”And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!source….input from a friend of mineNatarajan

joke of the Day….” Who is the Oldest Professional …’ !
| A physician, an engineer, and a politician were discussing who among them belonged to the oldest of the three professions. Each one of them thought they had this in the bag.
The physician said, “Remember, on the sixth day God took a rib from Adam and fashioned Eve, making him the first surgeon. Therefore, medicine is the oldest profession.”
The engineer replied, “But, before that, God created the heavens and earth from chaos and confusion, and thus he was the first engineer. Therefore, engineering is an older profession than medicine.” Then, the politician spoke up. “Yes yes, this is all well and true.” he said,“But who do you think created all of the chaos and confusion?” Source……..www.ba-bamail.com natarajan |
” மஹா விஷ்ணுவும் , கொசுவும் ஒண்ணு …..” !!!

ஒரு நாள் மடத்தில் உள்ளவர்களிடம்,” மகா விஷ்ணுவும்
கொசுவும் ஒண்ணு, உனக்குத் தெரியுமா?” என்றார் பெரியவா.
வழக்கம்போல் தானே அந்தப் புதிரையும் விடுவிக்கிறார்.
“விஷ்ணுவின் கையில் சக்கரம் சுற்றிக்கொண்டிருக்கு,கொசுவும்
சக்கரமாய் சுற்றிக்கொண்டுதான் இருக்கு.
கெட்டவர்கள் விஷ்ணுவைப் பார்க்க முடியாமல் ஒதுங்கிக் கொள்வார்கள்.
கண் வலிக்காரர்கள் கொசுவைப் பார்க்க முடியாமல் ஒதுங்கி விடுவார்கள். ச்ருதியிடம் விளையாடுபவர்
விஷ்ணு. [ச்ருதி=வேதம்] ச்ருதி முனையில் ஙொய் என்று கத்திக்கொண்டு விளையாடும் கொசு [ச்ருதி=காது]!”
இந்த சிலேடை சொன்னதுக்குக் காரணம் மடத்தோடு
அவர்கள் இருந்த முகாமில் கொசுத்தொல்லை தாங்க முடியாது.
“அனந்தசயனம் பண்ணும் பெருமாள்தான் கொசுன்னு
நினைச்சுண்டேன்னா, பகவத் ஸ்மரணையோடு தூங்கலாம்!” என்று எல்லோரையும் சமாதானம் செய்வாராம்.
இப்படி எந்தக் கஷ்டத்தையும் நகைச்சுவை ததும்ப சரி செய்துவிடும் அழகையும் பெரியவாளிடம் அனுபவிக்க முடியும்.
ஒரு நீண்ட உபன்யாசம் நடந்து கொண்டிருந்தது. பெரியவாளும் கேட்டார். ஒரு வழியாக உபன்யாசம் முடிந்தது.உடனே பெரியவா”சாக்கு கிடைச்சுதுன்னு நன்னா ரொம்ப நேரம் சொன்னயா?”என்றார்: “நீ ஒக்காந்துண்டிருந்தது ஒரு சாக்குமேலே…அந்த சாக்கைச் சொன்னேன்!” என்று தமாஷ் பண்ணினாராம்

“தாளமிடும் யானை ….கோலமிடும் மாடு ….’ !!!
தாளமிடும் யானை! கோலமிடும் மாடு!
பார்க்க அழைக்கிறார் காஞ்சிப்பெரியவர்
கஜகர்ணம்-கோகர்ணம்-விளக்கம்
நவம்பர் 24,2015,.தினமலர்
ஒரு செயலைச் செய்வது மிகவும் கடினம் என்றால், “கஜகர்ணம் போட்டாலும் நடக்காது’, “கோகர்ணம் போட்டாலும் நடக்காது’ என்று சொல்வார்கள். “யானை மாதிரி குட்டிக் கர்ணம் போட்டாலும் நடக்காது’ என்ற கருத்தில் இதைச் சொல்வதாக பலர் நினைக்கிறார்கள்.
ஆனால், காஞ்சிப் பெரியவர் அதன் உண்மையான அர்த்தம் சொல்கிறார் கேளுங்கள்.
விலங்குகளில் யானை மட்டுமே காதை விசிறி மாதிரி இயல்பாகவே ஆட்டிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் ஆற்றல் படைத்தது. இதற்கு “கஜ தாலம்’ என்று பெயர். “தாலம்’ என்பதற்கு “பனையோலை விசிறி’ என்று பொருள். விசிறி போன்ற காதை, ஒரே சீராக தாளம் போடும் விதத்தில் அசைப்பது அதன் இயல்பு.
மனிதர்களால் அப்படி காதை ஆட்ட முடியுமா! அது மிகவும் சிரமமான வித்தை. அதையே “கஜ கர்ணம் போட்டாலும் நடக்காது’ என்பார்கள். அதுவே நாளடைவில், “கஜ கரணம்’ என்ற பொருளில்” யானை மாதிரி குட்டிக் கரணம் போட்டாலும் நடக்காதாக்கும் ‘என்று அர்த்தம் உண்டாகி விட்டது.
அதே போல, கோகர்ணம்’ என்பதற்கும் பொருளைப் புரிந்து கொள்ளுங்கள். “கோ’ என்றால் “பசு’. இங்கு “கர்ணம்’ என்பது பசுவின் காதைக் குறிப்பதில்லை. இங்கு வினைச் சொல்லாக வரும் “கர்ணம்’ என்ற சொல்லிற்கு “குத்துவது, துளைப்பது’ என்பது பொருள்.
மாட்டின் உடம்பில் விரல் அல்லது தார்க்குச்சி மூலம் குத்தினால், கோலமிட்டது போல அலை, அலையாக உடம்பெங்கும் சலனம் பரவும். இதை மாதிரி மனிதர்களால் செய்து காட்ட முடியாது. இதுவும் ஒரு அபூர்வ வித்தையே.
இதனால் தான் நடத்த முடியாத செயல்களை, கஜகர்ணம், கோகர்ணம் என்ற வார்த்தைகளால் குறித்தனர்.
மகாபெரியவர் தந்துள்ள அற்புதமான விளக்கத்தைப் பார்த்தீர்களா!

Message for the Day…” Only one who has so filled themselves with love and who lives in the light of that love deserves to be called human.”
Humans are full of love (prema). Their hearts are springs of mercy. They are endowed with true speech. Peace is the characteristic of the mind of humans. It is the innate quality of the mind. Do not search for peace outside. Just as gold and silver lie hidden under the earth, and pearl and coral under the sea, peace and joy lie hidden in the activities of the mind. If you desire to acquire these hidden treasures, dive deep and turn your mental activities inward, you will become full of love. Only one who has so filled themselves with love and who lives in the light of that love deserves to be called human. Those devoid of love are demons and monsters. Within every man, the holy quality of love is ever present, without change. It is one and indivisible. Those saturated with love are incapable of spite, selfishness, injustice, wrong, and misconduc

Meet Pranav Dhanawde – the kid who scored 1009 runs in one innings !!!

His mother Mohini Prashant Dhanavde was in tears when Pranav scored 1000. “I would have never imagined that my son would make a world record. I remember scolding him so that he would concentrate on his studies more than cricket,” she said.
“My next goal is to be selected for under-19,” says 15-year-old Pranav Dhanawde who created a world record by scoring 1009 runs in 323 balls. The match was held between KC Gandhi School and Arya Gurukul School in which the later team scored 52/9 in 14.5 overs and KC Gandhi scored 1465/3 wickets in 94 overs.
The match was part of the under-16 Bhandari Trophy Inter-School Tournament organised by Mumbai Cricket Academy. On the first day, Pranav scored 652 not out in 199 balls and played for 5 hours on Kalyan’s Wayle Nagar’s Union Cricket Academy.
Pranav’s father Prashant Dhanawde who is an auto driver could not contain his joy. “Although I drive an auto, I have never stopped my son from achieving success. Last night when he broke world record by scoring 652, he told me that next day he will score 1000 and he did it,” said Prashant.
“I am fortunate to have parents who have understood my dream and supported me. Yesterday, I had not think about making a world record but as I completed 500 runs, I became more confident. Now, I want to get selected for under-19 team,” said Paranav Dhanavde. Pranav’s coach Harish Sharma said: “He is always focussed and a hard-hitting batsman. He was on 6th position but I decided to make him the opening batsmen and he didn’t prove me wrong.”
“Congrats #PranavDhanawade on being the first ever to score 1000 runs in an innings. Well done and work hard. You need to scale new peaks!” tweeted Sachin Tendulkar. Dhanawade, who opened the innings against Arya Gurukul School, had gone past Arthur Collins’ 628 not out, the previous highest in minor cricket scored in 1899 in England, on Monday. The son of an autorickshaw driver, Dhanawade had also gone past the highest individual score by an Indian in minor cricket, a record previously held by Prithvi Shaw who scored 546 in the Harris Shield in 2013-14.

Images of the Day….moving photos !!!
| Close your eyes for a moment and take a deep, slow breath. Then open them only to enjoy the beauty of these quietly moving scenes made by French Photographer and Design Artist Julien Douvier, creating a hybrid where only some elements in the picture are animated. I find that by the time I get to the end of this series, great serenity has taken hold.
