” இவர் சிவப் பழம் …இவருக்கு நெறைய பழம் கொடு …”

 

ஒரு வைதிகர், எளிய வாழ்க்கை, போதுமென்ற
மனமே பொன் செய்யும் மருந்து.

கோயில் திருப்பணிகளில் மிகவும் ஆர்வம்.
தன் கிராமத்திலுள்ள பிள்ளையார் கோயில்,
மாரியம்மன் கோயில்,சிவன் கோயில்
எல்லாவற்றுக்கும் அரும்பாடுபட்டுத்
திருப்பணிகள் செய்தார்.

பெரிய தொகை நன்கொடை கொடுப்பவர்கள் கூட
அவரிடமிருந்து ரசீது எதிர்பார்க்கமாட்டார்கள்.
அவ்வளவு சுத்தம். அவருடைய சேவையை அண்டை
கிராமத்தார்களும் பயன்படுத்திக் கொண்டார்கள்.

ஒரு வயற்காட்டில் ஒரு பெரிய சிவலிங்கம்
தன்னந்தனியாக வெயிலில் காய்ந்து, குளிரில்
நடுங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்தார். இந்த வைதிகர்
முயற்சியால் இப்போது அவர் (சிவலிங்கம்)
மழை-காற்றுக்கு அஞ்சாமல்,கருவறையில்
கோயில் கொண்டுள்ளார்.

இப்படி எத்தனையோ கோயில்கள்.

ஆனால்,வைதிகர் எந்தக் கும்பாபிஷேகத்திலும்
தன்னை முன்னிலைப்படுத்திக் கொண்டதில்லை.
கூட்டத்தில் ஒரு மூலையில் ஒண்டிக்கொண்டு நிற்பார்!

தம்பட்டமே இல்லாத இவரைப் பற்றிப்
பெரியவாளுக்கு தெரிந்திருந்தது.

‘எப்படி?’ என்றெல்லாம் கேட்கக்கூடாது.
அது சிவரகசியம்!

அந்த வைதிகர் அடிக்கடி ஸ்ரீமடத்துக்கு வருபவர் அல்லர்.
அவருக்கு ஓய்வு கிடைத்தால்தானே வெளியே போவதற்கு!

அவர் வழி அப்பர் வழி, ஆமாம். Upper வழி.

உழவாரப் பணி, கோபுரங்களில் வேலை,நாலைந்து
பையன்களை உடன் வைத்துக்கொண்டு
சந்தடி இல்லாமல் சிவத்தொண்டு செய்வார்.

ஒருதடவை பெரியவாள் தரிசனத்துக்கு வந்தார்.
பெரியவாளை வந்தனம் செய்துவிட்டு ஓரமாக
நின்றார். வழக்கமான ஊர்-பேர் விசாரணைகூடச்
செய்யவில்லை பெரியவாள்.

அந்தச் சமயத்தில் பரம பக்தர்களான பணக்காரத்
தம்பதிகள் வந்து வந்தனம் செய்துவிட்டு எழுந்தார்கள்.

பெரியவாள், தொண்டருக்கு என்ன குறிப்பு
கொடுத்தாரோ, தெரியாது.விலையுயர்ந்த
ஒரு சால்வையைக் கொண்டுவந்து தட்டில்
வைத்தார் ஓர் அணுக்கத் தொண்டர்.பெரியவாள்,
அந்தப் பணக்காரப் பக்தரை அழைத்து, அந்தச்
சால்வையை, வைதிக பக்தருக்குப் போர்த்தச்
சொன்னார்கள்.

எல்லோருக்குமே வியப்பாக இருந்தது.

இந்த வைதிகர் என்ன, அவ்வளவு பெரிய
பண்டிதரா? யாகம் செய்தவரா..?

பெரியவா பணக்காரரிடம் சொன்னார்கள்.

“இவரைப் பார்த்திருக்கிறாயோ?”

“இல்லை”

“இவர் அட்ரஸ் தெரியுமோ?”

“தெரியாது”

“எனக்குத் தெரியும்! சொல்லட்டுமா?”
(என்ன குறும்பு!)

“சாஸ்திரிகள் கேர் ஆஃப் சிவன் கோயில்!
இவர் பெரிய Builder.என்ன? பல சிவன்களுக்கு
வீடு கட்டிக் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார்…!”

பக்தர்கள் கூட்டம் நெகிழ்ந்து உருகியது.
ஒரு பத்திரிகையில்கூட இவர் புகைப்படத்தைப்
பார்த்ததில்லையே…

“இவர் சிவப்பழம்…பிரசாதத்தோட நெறய்ய
பழங்கள் கொடு…”

அறிமுகமே இல்லாத இவர், தூய சிவப்பணியாளர்
என்பது பெரியவாளுக்கு எப்படித் தெரிந்தது?.

அது எந்தவகை ஸித்தி?
ஆயிரம் கன்றுக்குட்டிகள் நடுவில் ஒரு தாய்ப்பசு
தன் கன்றை அடையாளம் கண்டுகொள்ளாதா, என்ன?

How to Achieve 101% Success !!!

 

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10=  1111111111  1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn’t it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

 

Now, take a look at this…


101%

 

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

 

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?


What equals 100% in life?


Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:


H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%


And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%


But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

 

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

 

L-O-V-E- O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It’s the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Message For the Day…” Take Good Care of Your Mind …”

Consider your physical body a chariot. Just as the horse is important for the chariot, your mind is the most important thing for your body. What is the point if the chariot is very tastefully decorated and the horse is starved? Today, many of you are caring so much for the body and entirely neglecting the mind. Many have a very good, soft bed and stay in air-conditioned rooms, yet their body feels the heat and the mind is suffering from restlessness, with no peace of mind. Why? You are caring so much for the body and neglecting the mind. Take good care of the mind. If you do so, even if you go to a forest, it will be for-rest! The most appropriate food for your mind are virtues, good feelings, good conduct and good thought. Feed the horse well, the chariot will run! So too, take good care of your mind, you will be happy and peaceful

Jokes For The Day…

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though a whale is a very large mammal, its throat is very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. The teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human, it was impossible. The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah”.
The teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?”
The little girl replied, “Then you ask him!”

It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils. The florist’s son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, “I bet I know what it is. Flowers.” “That’s right!” the boy said, “But, how did you know?” “Oh, just a wild guess,” she said. The next pupil was the sweet shop owner’s daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, “I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets.” “That’s right, but how did you know?” asked the girl. “Oh, just a wild guess,” said the teacher. The next gift was from the son of the liquor storeowner. The teacher held he package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. “Is it wine?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. “Is it champagne?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, “I give up, what is it?” With great glee, the boy replied, “It’s a puppy!” SURPRISE !!!!

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying
to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. “Just think
how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say,
“There’s Jennifer; she’s a lawyer,’ or “That’s Michael, he’s a doctor.'”
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, “And there’s the
teacher. She’s dead.”

Carol Burnett Show…. No Frill Airlines !!!

This is absolutely hilarious.
 
Not far from the truth…

This is absolutely hilarious.

Not far from the truth…

With the recent announcement by airlines of charges for checked luggage, overweight and over sized luggage, etc., this video from the past could be what air travellers will experience in the near future. Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman and Tim Conway were not only the best, but ahead of their time!
Happy flying!

Message for the Day…” God is Giving us Everything with many Hands…”

There was once an old woman in Paris. It was winter and December was around the corner. Many poor people were sleeping on the streets and shivering with cold. She went around the streets and covered them with a blanket. She completed the job without any fuss or noise. Over time, the people in the town came to know about it. They wondered why this humble old woman who was herself struggling to make her ends meet setting out to help others! When children used to ask her, “Grandma, why are you walking with your head down? You are a great person!” she would respond humbly, “God is giving us everything with many hands, and I am giving with a single hand. Is that not a shame for me?” Many great people world over, have placed before us the high ideals of charity

Joke of The Day… ” K- Mart Next …” !!!

It was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero when the little Antartian got off work. She made her way to her car and wondered how she was going to make it home. She sat in her car while it warmed up and thought about her situation.

She finally remembered her daddy’s advice that if she got caught in a blizzard; she should wait for a snowplow to come by and follow it. That way she would not get stuck in a snowdrift. This made her feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snowplow went by and she started to follow it. As she follows the snow plow she was feeling very smug as they continued and she was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions.

After quite sometime had passed she was somewhat surprised when the snow plow stopped and the driver got out and came back to her car and signaled for her to roll down her window. The snowplow driver wanted to know if she was all right as she had been following him for a long time. She said that she was fine and told him of her daddy’s advice to follow a snowplow when caught in a blizzard.

The driver replied that it was OK with him and she could continue if she wanted but he was done with the Wal-Mart parking lot and was going over to K-Mart next. ….

Message For the Day…” God is Present in Everyone …”

Many people try to do Hata Yoga or develop Kundalini Shakthi and so on. Some invoke evil spirits to harm others. These forms of spiritual practices are not Satwik. God is the Eternal Absolute (Sat) and the individual is Consciousness (Chit). When these two (Sat andChit) merge, you have bliss (Ananda). Your spiritual practices must help you to realise this bliss (Sat-chit-ananda). Only such practices deem to be called Sadhana. Where is God (Sat)? God is present in everyone. So always be prepared to serve everyone, regarding them as Divine. Your spiritual practices (Sadhana) must help you cultivate the feeling of Universal Love and adoration for the Divine who embraces everyone. There is no higher spiritual practice than the cultivation of Love. Hence, intensify your spiritual practices in the spirit that the one God pervades the many forms in the Universe
