” The Guardian Angels …”…. Mom and Dad ….
Message For the Day… ” Role of ‘ Vairagya ‘..Detachment…For Experiencing the Divine Bliss…”
A matchstick produces fire. Where is the fire? Is it in the matchstick or the matchbox? Fire is latent in both and it is ignited when the stick and box come in contact. Similarly effulgence latent in the heart and the mind emerges as Divinity when the heart and the mind act in unison. Just as the same fire is latent in the matchbox and matchstick, the effulgence encased in the mind and the heart is the same. If the matchstick is dipped in water, no fire emanates from it, as the matchstick loses its capacity to aflame. Similarly, the human mind sunken in materialistic desires, loses its capacity to radiate the Divine Atmic splendour. When the matchstick is dried in the sun, it regains its original capacity. Similarly, the human mind steeped in sensual pleasures, regains its original potency and radiates divine effulgence when it is dried in the sun of detachment (Vairagya)
Why Walking is Recommended as a Tip For Good Health …
- The human body is made to walk.
- Walking 30 minutes a day cuts the rate of people becoming diabetic by more than half and it cuts the risk of people over 60 becoming diabetic by almost 70 percent.
- Walking cuts the risk of stroke by more than 25 percent.
- Walking reduces hypertension. The body has over 100,000 miles of blood vessels. Those blood vessels are more supple and healthier when we walk.

- Walking also helps prevent depression, and people who walk regularly are more likely to see improvements in their depression.
- In one study, people who walked and took medication scored twice as well in 30 days as the women who only took the medication. Another study showed that depressed people who walked regularly had a significantly higher level of not being depressed in a year compared to depressed people who did not walk. The body generates endorphins when we walk. Endorphins help us feel good.
- Walking strengthens the heart. Walking strengthens bones.

- Walking significantly diminishes the risk of hip fracture and the need for gallstone surgery is 20 to 31 percent lower for walkers.
- Walking is the right thing to do. The best news is that the 30 minutes doesn’t have to be done in one lump of time. Two 15 minute walks achieve the same goals. Three 10 minute walks achieve most of those goals.
- We can walk 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night and achieve our walking goals.
- Walking feels good. It helps the body heal. It keeps the body healthy. It improves our biological health, our physical health, our psycho-social health, and helps with our emotional health. Walking can literally add years entire years to your life.

Message For the Day…” God is the Master who is Worshiped …”
A piece of mysorepaak (an Indian delicacy made of gram flour) has sweetness, weight, and shape; the three cannot be separated from the other. Each little part of it has all these three aspects. When it is placed on the tongue, taste is recognised, weight is lessened, and shape is modified – all at the same time. So too, the individual soul (jiva), the Atma, and the Supreme Lord (Parameswara) are not separate; they are one and the same. “I am the worshiper. The world is the offering. God is the Master who is worshiped.” Hold this vision high before the mind’s eye every day and lead your life accordingly. Then your life is one long unbroken service to the Lord. Over time, the feeling of I and You will soon disappear; all trace of self will be destroyed. Life then transmutes itself into a veritable devotion to the Lord (Hariparayana).
” இப்போ போட்டோ எடுத்துக்கோ…” !!!
புகைப்படம் எடுப்பது எனக்குப் பிடித்தமான பொழுதுபோக்கு.
பெரியவாள் முன்னிலையில், slide viewer –ல் ஸ்லைடுகளைப் போட்டுக் காண்பித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தேன். அது, ஸ்லைடில் உள்ள படங்களை நான்கு மடங்கு பெரிதாகக் காட்டும். படங்களைப் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்த பெரியவாள், “இதில் ஸ்லைடு வைக்குமிடத்தில் நெகடிவ் பிலிமைப் போட்டால், நன்றாகத் தெரியுமா?” என்று கேட்டார்.
(பெரியவாளுக்குப் புகைப்படக் கலையின் ஒவ்வொரு நுட்பமும் தெரியும். ஆனால், தனக்குத் தெரிந்ததாகக் காட்டிக் கொள்ள மாட்டார்கள் என்பதும் எனக்குத் தெரியும்! ஆனால், என்னுடைய அக்ஞானம் என்னை விட்டுப் போய்விடுமா என்ன?)
”நெகடிவ் போட்டால், திரைப்படத்தில், கறுப்பு வெள்ளையாகவும், வெள்ளை கறுப்பாகவும் தெரியும்..”
பெரியவாள் உடனே, “அதுதான் எனக்கு வேணும்.. நரைத்துப் போன என் தலைமுடி, கறுப்பாகத் தெரியும்! நான் இன்னும் இளைமையாக இருப்பேனோல்லியோ…”
அருகிலிருந்து கேட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தவர்கள் அட்டகாசமாகச் சிரித்து மகிழ்ந்தார்கள்.
பெரியவாளுடைய நகைச்சுவை உணர்வு, எவரெஸ்டுக்கு மேலே பத்து அங்குலம்!
ஜெய ஜெய சங்கர! ஹர ஹர சங்கர!!
***********
வானகரத்தில் ஒரு சவுக்குத் தோப்பில் உட்கார்ந்திருந்தார் பெரியவா. முன்னர் எடுத்திருந்த புகைப்பட ஆல்பத்தைக் கொடுத்தேன். அப்போது, பல்வேறு காரணங்களால் புகைப்படங்களில் குறைகள் ஏற்பட்டிருந்தன.
இந்தத் தோப்பில் எவ்விதக் குறைகளுமில்லாமல் புகைப்படம் எடுக்க முடியும் என்பது என்னுடைய துணிபு.
பெரியவா, ஒரு சிஷ்யரைக் கூப்பிட்டு, ஒரு தாழங்குடை கொண்டுவரச் சொல்லி, அதைத் தன் தலைக்கு மேல் பிடிக்கச் சொன்னார்.
“இப்போ போட்டோ எடுத்துக்கோ…”
அப்போது நான் எடுத்த புகைப்படம் மிக அருமையாக வந்திருந்தது. (பின்னால் கல்கி தீபாவளி மலர் ஒன்றில் ஸ்ரீருத்ர வாக்கியமான, ‘நமோ வன்யாய ச கக்ஷ்யாய ச’ என்ற விளக்கத்துடன் முகப்புப் படமாக வெளியாயிற்று).
பெரியவாள் தாழங்குடையைப் பிடிக்கச் சொன்னதற்கும் காரணம் இருந்தது. மரங்கள் வழியே வந்த ஒளி, அவர்கள் மேல் திட்டுத் திட்டாக விழுந்து கொண்டிருந்தது. அந்த நிலையில் படம் எடுத்தால் நன்றாக வராது என்பதால், அந்த ஷாட் நன்றாக அமைய வேண்டும் என்பதற்கான சூழ்நிலையை உண்டாக்கிக் கொடுத்தார்கள்.
மெய்ப் படங்களைக் கற்றுத் தேர்ந்தவர்கள் அவர்கள். நிழற் படங்களின் நுட்பங்களை எந்தக் குருகுலத்தில் கற்றுத் தெளிந்தார்கள்?
ஆயிரம் படம் படைத்த ஆதிசேஷ்னே அறிவார்!
ஜெய ஜெய சங்கர! ஹர ஹர சங்கர!!

Message For the Day…” Let us Control our Tongue First… “
Message For the Day…” Self Satisfaction Results Out of Self Confidence…”
Today whatever good work we undertake in the world is being done in a casual manner without understanding its significance and imprinting its essence in our hearts. In the worldly aspect, we do several things either to attain a high position or reputation, or just for the sake of exhibition or in the hope of some material gain. Such types of effort are temporal and will yield only transitory benefits. Of the many things that we do daily, those intended to attain self-satisfaction are very few. Self-satisfaction will result only when we have confidence in our own Self. When there is Self-confidence and Self-satisfaction, you will be able to do Self-sacrifice, resulting in Self-realisation. Thus, immortality is the result of sacrifice (tyaga). It is for this reason that all the yajnas and other rituals in this country have been intended to symbolise sacrifice. They have a definite purpose of promoting divine strength.

The Best Answer an Older Person Can Give
|
Some time ago, a loving gradnson was talking to his grandmother about modern life. He asked for her opinion on everything that has been going on in the last few years. His grandmother gave him a long look and said: “Well, let me see…
I was born before:
* penicillin
* television
* frozen foods
* Xerox
* contact lenses
* Frisbees and
* the pill
There were no:
* credit cards
* laser beams or
* ball-point pens
Man had not yet invented:
* pantyhose
* dishwashers
* clothes dryers
* and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and
Nor has man walked on the moon yet.
Your Grandfather didn*t live together until we got married. There were very few single mothers.
Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, “Sir.”
And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, “Sir.”
We were before gay-rights, computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.
Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.
We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.
Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.
We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.
Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.
Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started.
Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends, not purchasing condominiums.
We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CD*s, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.
We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President*s speeches on our radios.
If you saw anything with *Made in Japan * on it, it was junk.
The term *making out* referred to how you did on your school exam.
Pizza Hut, McDonald*s, and instant coffee were unheard of. We had 5 & 10-cent (5 and dime) stores
where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.
Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.
And if you didn*t want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.
You could buy a new Ford Coupe for $600, but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.
In my day:
* “grass” was mowed,
* “coke” was a cold drink,
* “pot” was something your mother cooked in and
* “rock music” was your grandmother*s lullaby.
* “Aids” were helpers in the Principal*s office,
* “chip” meant a piece of wood,
* “hardware” was found in a hardware store and.
* “software” wasn*t even a word.
We volunteered to protect our precious country.
No wonder people call us “old and confused” and say there is a generation gap.
How old do you think I am?
Read on to see… Are you ready??

This woman would be only 65 years old.
She would have been born in late 1950.
Gives you something to think about, doesn’t it?
So much has changed in one lifetime. !!!

Joke of the Day… ” I am fine … ” !!!
Farmer Joe was in his car when he was hit by a truck. He decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In court the trucking company’s fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. “Didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine’?” said the lawyer.
Farmer Joe responded, “Well I’ll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the….” “I didn’t ask for any details,” the lawyer interrupted, “just answer the question.”
“Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine’!”
Farmer Joe said, “Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road….”
The lawyer interrupted again and said, “Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.”
By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe’s answer and said to the lawyer, “I’d like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie.”
Joe thanked the Judge and proceeded, “Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other.
I was hurting real bad and didn’t want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.
Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.
Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, “Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?”
