Message For the Day….” Remember , it is the “way of living” . the path of virtue , that keeps you in the MEMORY of People long after death …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Lord Krishna declares in the Bhagavad Gita, “There is nothing in the three worlds that I am obliged to do, nothing unaccomplished that I have to accomplish, but I am still engaged in activity (karma)”. Lord Krishna says this, for, if God is inactive, the Cosmos will come to a grinding halt. You too, must take the lead and follow it. Translate your strength into activity along the path of duty. The young follow the lead of elders. So elders must consistently hold on to ideals and work towards their realization so that the entire universe can attain prosperity and peace. Mother Earth teaches her children this lesson of service and sacrifice. Good conduct must be the main key to the life of every being. Remember, it is the ‘way of living,’ the path of virtue, that keeps you in the memory of people long after death.

Message for the Day….” When You have Faults within , The whole world appears Faulty…”

 Sathya Sai Baba

If you wear blue eyeglasses, you see only blue, even though Nature is resplendent with many colours. If the world appears to you as full of differences, that is due to the fault within you. If all appears as one love, that too is only your love. The feeling within is the root cause. When you have faults within, the world appears faulty. When there is no knowledge of fault in yourself, no fault can be found even by search, for you wouldn’t know which are the faults. Now the question may arise whether the Lord Himself has faults as He also searches for faults. No, the Lord searches only for goodness. He won’t examine the wealth, family, caste, status, or gender. He sees only the righteousness (sadbhava). He considers those endowed with such righteousness as deserving His grace, whoever they are, whatever they are. Therefore, develop goodness. Live and act in joy and love. These two are sufficient; with them, salvation can be attained without fail.

 

Message For the Day…” Who is to be Called Human…” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

Humans are full of love. Their hearts are springs of mercy. They are endowed with true speech. Peace is the characteristic of the human mind; it is its innate quality. There is no need to go anywhere else in search of peace. 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. Desirous of acquiring these hidden treasures, if one dives and turns mental activities inward, one becomes full of love. Only one who has so filled oneself with love and who lives in the light of that love can be called human. Those devoid of love are demons, monsters and subhumans. That holy quality of love will not waver in its presence; it will be ever present, without change. It is one and indivisible. Those saturated with love are incapable of spite, selfishness, injustice, wrong, and misconduct.

Message For the Day…” Once You Say and Feel ‘Aham Brahmasmi’ [ I am Divine ], You Get Infinite Strength …

NatarajanLeave a comment

You must proceed ever towards strength (balam); you must not take to untruth, wickedness, crookedness – all of which denote a fundamental fatal trait of cowardice and weakness (Balaheenam). Weakness is born of accepting as true a lower image of yourself than you truly are. You believe you are the husk, but you really are the kernel. This is a key fact. All your spiritual practices must be directed to the removal of the husk and the revelation of the kernel. So long as you say, “I am”, there is bound to be fear, but once you say and feel, “Aham Brahmasmi” (I am Divine), you get infinite strength. The influence of the Divine is so subtle and strong that while you are contemplating on Him, all traces of envy and greed will disappear from your mind. The pure love the cowherds (Gopis) had for Lord Krishna is a great example. This is the characteristic of Divine Incarnations at all times.

Message for the Day…” Love [prema] is the Most effective tool for Constantly Remembering God…

NatarajanLeave a comment

By carrying a bundle of sandalwood, can a donkey become an elephant? The donkey will sense the difference in weight but not the scent! On the other hand, the elephant disregards the weight and inhales the sweet scent. So too, the spiritual aspirant, or devotee will take in only the pure truth, the pure essence of good activities, of godliness and scriptures. On the other hand, one who goes on arguing for the sake of mere scholarship, learning, and disputation will know only the weight of logic, missing the scent of truth! Love (prema) is the most effective instrument for constantly remembering the Lord. Keeping that instrument safe and strong needs the power of discrimination (Viveka). Many in the world utilize their vast learning in disputation to prove their superiority; this is a great mistake. If they really were so learned, they would silently experience the core, the pure Divine.

Message for the Day…” One Must Win God’s Grace to Attain HIS Proximity…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

The Master comes to save not one good person from illusion, but the whole of mankind. He assumes a Form that people can love, appreciate and revere. He gives joy and courage by speaking your language. The only blemish that comes in between your mind and the Master is illusion. Illusion is like a fierce dog that will not allow anyone to approach the Master. You can manage to bypass it by calling out to the Master loudly so that He Himself comes down and accompanies you to His home. That is to say, you must win the Lord’s Grace to attain His proximity(Saameepyam). Illusion is the Lord’s pet, so it will not harm you if the Lord orders it to desist from harming you. So just as you give the goldsmith a broken or a dented ornament and receive a fine jewel back, entrust your mind to the Lord. It certainly needs repair, if not complete reconstruction.

எனது பாட்டி எனக்கு அறிவித்த ஒரு அதிசய சம்பவத்தை உங்களிடம் பகிர்ந்து கொள்கிறேன்.

ஒருசமயம், காஞ்சிப் பெரியவர் பக்தர்களுக்கு ஆசி வழங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்தார்.

பக்தர்கள் நீண்ட வரிசையில் காத்திருந்தனர்.

கூட்டத்தில் வந்த இளம் தம்பதியரின் கையில் ஒரு ஆண்குழந்தை இருந்தது. கொழு கொழுவென இருந்த குழந்தையை பெரியவரின் காலடியில் கிடத்தி விட்டு, அழத் தொடங்கினர்.

“”தங்க விக்ரகம் போல இருக்கும் அந்த குழந்தையின் உடம்பில் எந்த வித அசைவும் இல்லை. மலர் போன்ற அதன் கண்களில் பார்வையும் இல்லை” என்பதை அறிந்ததும் அனுதாபத்தில் ஆழ்ந்தனர்.

உற்றுப் பார்த்த பெரியவர், “அப்படியே தான் இருக்கு இன்னும் கொறயலையே” என்று மட்டும் சொல்லி விட்டு, சில நிமிடம் மவுனம் காத்தார். பெரியவர் என்ன சொல்கிறார் என்பது அப்போது யாருக்கும் புரியவில்லை. பின் மடத்து ஊழியரை அழைத்து, பாலும், நந்தியாவட்டைப் பூவும் கொண்டு வரும் படி பணித்தார். பூவினைப் பாலில் தோய்த்து குழந்தையின் தலை, கண்கள், வயிறு, பாதம் ஆகியவற்றில் தடவி விட்டு, கண்களை மூடி பிரார்த்தித்தார்.

பெற்றோரிடம், “”கொழந்தைய.. .. மாயவரம் (மயிலாடுதுறை) மாயூரநாதர்கோயிலுக்கு தூக்கிண்டு போயி தட்சிணாமூர்த்தி பாதத்தில படுக்கப் போடுங்கோ…. இப்பவே கிளம்புங்கோ…” என்று சொல்லி அனுப்பி வைத்தார்

.

அந்த தம்பதியும் மயிலாடுதுறை புறப்பட்டனர்.

அவர்கள் வரும் முன்பே, மாயூரநாதர் கோயிலில் கூட்டம் சேர ஆரம்பித்தது. உணர்ச்சியற்ற அந்த குழந்தையைப் பற்றித் தான் ஒரே பேச்சாக இருந்தது.

குழந்தையுடன் வந்த பெற்றோர், மாயூரநாதர் கோயிலில் விநாயகரை தரிசித்து விட்டு, பிரகாரத்தில் இருக்கும் தட்சிணாமூர்த்தி சந்நிதி முன், குழந்தையைப் படுக்க வைத்து வழிபட்டனர். ஒரு மணி நேரம் ஆன பின்பும், குழந்தையிடம் ஒரு அசைவும் தென்படவில்லை. மக்கள் சலசலக்க ஆரம்பித்தனர்

சிலர், அந்த பெற்றோரின் தெய்வ நம்பிக்கையை குறைக்கும் முயற்சியிலும் ஈடுபட்டனர்.

அப்போது, திடீரென ஒரு வெள்ளை பூனைக்குட்டி கூட்டத்திற்கு நடுவில் ஓடி வந்தது. குழந்தையின் அருகில் நெருங்கியது. பூனையால் ஆபத்து நேர்ந்திடாமல் தாய் கவனித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தார். யாரும் எதிர்பாராத விதத்தில், பூனை குழந்தையின் நெற்றியை நாவால் நக்கியது. தலை முதல் பாதம் வரை முகர்ந்து விட்டு ஓடி விட்டது.

பிறந்ததில் இருந்து அசையாத அக்குழந்தை, தட்சிணாமூர்த்தி சந்நிதியை நோக்கி திரும்பிப் படுத்தது. அதன் இதழில் புன்னகை அரும்பியது.

“க்ளுக்’ என்ற மழலை ஒலியும் எழுந்தது. இதைக் கண்ட பெற்றோர், “ஹரஹர சங்கர ஜெயஜெய சங்கர’ என்றபடி குழந்தையை தூக்கினர். அவர்களைப் பார்த்துச் சிரித்தது.

இந்த அற்புதம் கண்டவர்கள் காஞ்சி மகானின் தெய்வீக தன்மையைக் கண்டு வியந்தனர்.

முற்பிறவியில் பூனையைக் கொன்றவர்களுக்கு, பூனை சாபத்தால் புத்திரபாக்கியம் இல்லாமல் போவது அல்லது ஊனமான குழந்தை பிறப்பது போன்ற தோஷம் உண்டாகும் என்கிறது சாஸ்திரம்.

அதே பூனை இனத்தைக் கொண்டே, இந்த குழந்தையின் தோஷத்தைப் போக்கி, தலைவிதியை மாற்றி அமைத்த பெரியவரின் மகிமையை என்னவென்பது?

” How about a Piece of Advice From a 20 Year old …” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

Words of advice from Oscar award-winning actors are all very fine. How about some from a 20-year-old?

Mass media student Chhaya Ranka has a few things to say.

1. Not everything happens according to us

Photographs: Kerri Lee Smith/Creative Commons

Your boss won’t work according to you.

Your cousin won’t change the date of her marriage.

Your boyfriend will breakup with you if he has to.

It’s called life. Deal with it.

2. People come and go. Life goes on forever

Remember that time when you were crying because you had a fight with your best friend.

Who cares now? S/he doesn’t.

And probably you don’t too.

3. Chocolate is heavenly but it makes us fat

Chocolate is sweet. Chocolate is yummy.

Who wants food when you can have chocolate?

But who wants to grow fat when you can be healthy?

4. You can’t always live with your parents

You are daddy’s little girl and mummy’s spoilt brat.

You are always going to stay that way.

Stop living your life under their shadow and start doing things on your own.

Learn something new. Study some course.

Get a job and earn money.

The satisfaction of earning your own money is worth it.

But don’t indulge into illegal activities.

5. The only person who matters the most is you

It isn’t wrong to take care of yourself.

It isn’t wrong to make yourself the most important person in your life.

Do yourself a favour and love yourself so much that it will be difficult for people to hurt you.

6. Our siblings are our first best friends

They know how weird we are.

But they never give up on us.

Even after some huge fights and arguments they always have our backs.

7. Money can only buy materialistic things

Feelings and emotions can never be forced upon.

But as Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl says “Whoever said money can’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop”.

That is a totally different case then 🙂

8. Smile a lot. People are watching you always

Yes. Smile.

As much as you can.

You never know who falls for that beautiful smile of yours.

PS: Avoid roadside creeps though.

9. Respect your elders

Listen to what they have to say.

Best lessons can come to you from them.

It isn’t always required that you do whatever they say.

Just listen to them and respect them.

10. No one can and no one will ever love you much as your family loves you

The last time I cried over a breakup was years ago but I remember how my brother was ready to team up with his friends and bash the ex-boyfriend.

Even though it was my mistake, my mother cursed the ex.

Even after all the wrong things you do, your family accepts you.

11. Movies are fictional

Apart from historical movies, Bollywood lies all the time.

Not all stories have a happily ever after.

In fact, all romantic comedies and action films and superhero films are lie.

A spider bit me two years ago; I didn’t turn into Spiderwoman.

Drive a car at the speed of 200kmph and in a matter of time you will be fighting for your life.

12. A perfect figure isn’t everything

Being healthy and taking care of your weight is a very good thing.

Some people love your inner beauty more.

In fact most people do.

 

Life is much more beyond a perfect figure.

What is the point of having a perfect figure when you know it won’t last forever?

Even if you are too thin or too fat, what matters most is your personality and how you make others around you feel.

13. Career is important

Build your career.

Learn new things.

Meet new people.

Make new connections.

A few years from now you will look back and realise there are a lot of things you wanted to do but didn’t or couldn’t.

Leave no regrets.

14. Life is full of priorities and choices

Family and career should always come first.

Then if you have time, get into relationships.

Now who wants to be a housewife or jobless?

15. General knowledge is an asset

 

A little bit of GK about the world does no harm.

The added benefit is you get to talk to anyone and everyone.

16. Everything happens for a reason

Bad things happen so that we understand what the good things are.

Good things happen to prepare us for the best things.

17. Fall in love. Date the wrong people

After every bad date you will realise who you really wish to be with.

It will also help you in becoming the kind of person you have always wanted to be.

18. Make mistakes

Make as many mistakes as you can. Learn from them.

But don’t repeat them.

Message For the Day…” How to Achieve the Spiritual Progress in One’s Life …” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

The minute hand of the clock is the individual soul. It goes round and round – the hour hand does move, silently and slowly, with dignity. The hour hand is the Supreme Soul. Once in an hour, these two meet, but the individual soul does not get that consummation fixed forever. It loses the precious chance, and so has to go round and round again. Liberation happens when the two merges and there is just one. Like the silkworm that spins from out of itself the cocoon that proves to be its tomb, people spin from out of their own mind, the cage in which they get trapped. Assign your mind the task of serving the Lord and it will grow tame. Give your mind to the Lord. Forget the past and don’t worry about errors in future. Bring to memory only those things that are worth remembering and assiduously follow your spiritual practices. You will achieve spiritual progress.

Message For the Day…” Start Today the Spiritual Discipline that has to be Done Tomorrow…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

What is the use in planning a well when the house is on fire? Where is the time to dig now? When will water become available? When is the fire to be extinguished? It is an impossible task! If, at the very start, a well was ready, how helpful it would be on such critical occasions! Beginning to contemplate on God during the last moments is like beginning to dig the well when the house is on fire. Therefore equip yourself right now, by contemplating on God off and on, so that it will stand you in good stead when the end approaches. Start today the spiritual discipline that has to be done tomorrow! Start now what has to be done today! One doesn’t know what is in store the next moment; therefore there should be no delay in engaging in spiritual practices. For this physical stamina is also necessary, so the body has to be tended to, though over-tending causes damage. To the degree that is essential, the body should be looked after with great care.
