Message For the Day…” What is the Gift to Swami on His Birthday , today …” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

Many must be thinking about the gift to offer Swami on His Birthday. The present given to God must be pure, steady and selfless Love. You can rejoice that you have given the Lord a real gift only when you love your fellowmen, share their sufferings, and engage in serving them. Adopt villages and make them ideal villages. Rich and powerful have plentiful servants. The distressed, the poverty-stricken, and the diseased have no one to serve them. Go to them and be their friends and relatives, their closest well-wishers. Let them welcome you as such. Do not pour spirituality into the ears of those who are tortured by hunger and afflicted by pain. First satiate their hunger. Serve them as God and give food, clothes, and medicines and then teach them spirituality. I bless you with long life, good health, bliss, peace and prosperity. May you devote your physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual strength and skills for the service of the Universe.

Health Benefits of Home Grown Herbs….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Herbs are some of the best things you can grow around your house and garden. They are mostly easier to grow then many kinds of vegetables and fruits and yet they can be just as healthy and tasty to eat. These are 10 of the easiest, healthiest and most recommended herbs for you to grow, each with important tips on where and how to grow them. They are guaranteed to make your food taste better, your house smell nicer and your overall health better than ever before.

Rosemary:

A good for source of iron, calcium, and vitamin B6, rosemary has been found to be helpful with enhancing memory and concentration as well as providing neurological protection. It is an herb that’s perfect to grow in a pot, but not in direct sunlight, so you don’t even need to have a garden. Use dry or fresh rosemary to add a great taste to pizzas or baked potatoes.

Thyme:

Thyme is a powerful herb that can help you with many types of breast and colon cancer, bacterial infections and skin problems. Thyme is commonly used for the treatment of diarrhea, stomachache, arthritis, sore throat and bronchitis. The plant is very hardy and is easy to grow, it is also safe to harvest without constant fear of the plant dying. It is best used in deep stews and meat marinades.

 

Sage:

Sage is used in medicine to help alleviate symptoms of mental disorders such as Alzheimer’s and depression. It can also be used to solve digestive problems, improve memory and help type 2 diabetes patients with lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. A sage plant requires plenty of sunshine, good drainage and good air circulation. Sage is most often used with poultry and pork but can also be used to flavor cheese.
Lemon Balm:

Many people believe that lemon balm has calming effects that can reduce anxiety and sleep problems, it is also used for digestive problems like upset stomach, intestinal gas, vomiting and colic. This useful plant tends to be naturally pest and disease resistant, all it really needs is some decent soil, protection from punishing heat and a regular watering schedule. This herb can be used for making homemade tea and as a yummy salad addition.
Parsley:

Parsley contains more vitamin C and K than basically anything else you eat, it works wonders for people with kidney stones, gastrointestinal disorders, constipation, diabetes, cough, and asthma. If you plan on planting some parsley seeds in your garden do so in moist, rich soil and plant each seed about 7 inches (18 cm) apart. Chop parsley and sprinkle it on any dish you want to add a little life and color to, it’s mild on flavor and yet very refreshing.
Chives:

Chives is nutrient-dense herb, its low on calories and high on beneficial nutrients like vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Chives contains choline, an important nutrient that helps with sleep, muscle movement, learning and memory. It has no problems growing in-doors or out-doors but it prefers full sun light, it is also important to give chives consistent watering in the growing season, to ensure high yields. Add a bit of chives to salads or other dishes spiced with herbs to give them an unexpected twist.
Mint:

Best grown in a pot, as it grows to fill whatever space you give it, mint is a very useful herb to have around the house. It can be used as a simple answer to allergies, colds, Irritable bowel syndrome and abdominal pains. Use mint to make home-made natural tea, add to your salads, and even just crush a bit of leaves and add to water with some lemon juice for a great healthy drink.
Oregano:

This plant will glow at ground level but won’t spread too aggressively which means its best gown out-doors or in large containers. Not only does this herb provide food flavor and an amazing smell, it’s also high on potent antioxidants and anti-bacterial ingredients. Water the oregano only when the soil is dry, they are native to arid regions and don’t like too much water. Use it when you are making some home-made pizza, mix it in with your pasta sauce and even try adding a bit to your morning’s scrubbed eggs.
Tarragon :

Tarragon has been used as a traditional remedy to stimulate appetite and alleviate anorexic symptoms. It is a rich source of vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamins A and B, and other minerals like calcium, manganese, iron and magnesium. Keep tarragon in a spot of the garden that enjoys full sun in the morning with dappled light in the afternoon. It can tolerate full afternoon sun in locations that don’t get too hot but it should be kept well watered. Tarragon is a tasty spice for any dish with rice or chicken and can also add a refreshing, but not overpowering, taste to fish.
Basil:

Consider planting this herb in your garden and house just for the smell if not for its many possible heath benefits. Rich in antioxidants and anti-aging properties, basil is a good source for vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, magnesium, iron and potassium. During dry periods water the plants freely, basil loves moist ground, and also be sure to pick the leaves regularly to encourage growth throughout the summer. Commonly used in Italian cooking, basil combines wonderfully with anything that includes tomatoes and cheese.

In Vrindavan, work is on to build the world’s tallest religious structure…Krishna Temple !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Model of the Krishna temple planned at Vrindavan Picture by Sanjay K Sharma

The capsule elevator will rise up the steel belly of the skyscraper. On its 700-feet journey, it will take visitors past the various universes of Hindu mythology: Svarga Loka, that transitory place for righteous souls; Vaikuntha Loka, the abode of Vishnu; and finally Goloka Vrindavan, the eternal abode of Krishna.

At each stop, visitors will get a three-dimensional, light-and-sound experience of these planetary systems as described in the Vedic scriptures. From here, the elevator will move further up to the viewing gallery at the very top that will have telescopes through which visitors can see the Yamuna, Mathura, Govardhan, Nandgaon and, on a clear day, even the Taj Mahal, 70 km away.

The 70-storey, 210-metre-high Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir will be nearly three times the height of Qutub Minar and taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza. Conceptualised by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)-Bangalore, this sprawling 65-acre project intends to put Vrindavan on the world map.

About 2 km from the bustling temple town, on the highway to Mathura, work on the mammoth project, which is shaped like a peacock feather, has started. The foundation stone was laid on March 16, and last week President Pranab Mukherjee performed puja here. Over the next five years, here is how ISKCON aspires to transform what is today a vast stretch of barren land.

The architecture will be a fusion of western and traditional styles. The intended end result is a skyscraper temple. “The skyscraper is a concept from modern architecture and requires modern technology,” says Chanchalapathi Dasa, project president and vice-president, ISKCON-Bangalore. “And the shikhar, mandap and other structures will be built in the traditional Nagara architectural style which was prevalent in northern India.” The use of marble and glazing in the central structure also reflects this fusion.

World's tallest temple at Vrindavan to stand Thrice as tall as Qutab Minar

While the temple will occupy about 500,000 square feet, close to 700,000 square feet will be meant for education. As ISKCON believes in salvation through devotion to Krishna, as exemplified by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the 15th and 16th centuries, the emphasis will be on the knowledge of Krishna that has been assimilated into local cultures across India and represented in dance, art, music, literature, architecture and even cuisine.

The Krishna Heritage Museum will preserve and showcase these varied expressions. The Science and Spirituality Pavilion will present contemporary scientific discoveries and concepts and try to correlate them with some of the concepts present in Indian Vedic literature — the bugbear of modernists. For example, the Bhagavad Gita Expo will offer students an expositional tour and concepts of the Gita “in a way that is appealing to the scientific temper of young people,” says Chanchalapathi.

The oganisation is relying heavily on technology to introduce younger children to Krishna. “The days when grandmothers told stories to children are gone. YouTube and 3D experiences have taken over,” says an ISKCON devotee. This is where “multi-sensory environmental story-telling experiences” will play a key role. The complex will have a climate-controlled, covered Krishna Leela Park spread across 200,000 square feet where children will get 3D experiences of the many acts Krishna performed as a child. An internally reconstructed Yamuna creek with boats will meander through this park.

Around the central complex, ISKCON plans to recreate 12 forests. “Vrindavan was a vana, a forest. But there’s no forest left now,” says Chanchalapathi. ISKCON intends to recreate those forests that find mention in Vedic scriptures in the area called Braj Mandal, a large part of which falls in Uttar Pradesh and some of which is in Rajasthan and Haryana. Each forest had its own kind of flora, fauna, water bodies and caves.

About 28 acres of land around the temple have been earmarked for these forests. For example, Talavana had tal (palm) trees with fruit that Krishna and his cowherd friends are said to have been attracted to. Similarly, there are other forests planned like Bhandiravana with banyan trees, Kumudavana with lotus and lily ponds, and Kamyavana with rocky, mountainous caves. ISKCON has been in consultation with the Uttar Pradesh forest department to source the trees.

Krishna, say his devotees, performed leelas, or magic, in these forests. Those experiences will be recreated. For example, the story goes that a demon called Aghasura came in the form of a gigantic python to kill Krishna. He opened his mouth and sat in wait. Mistaking his open mouth for a cave, Krishna and his friends decided to explore it. Once inside, Krishna saw his friends fainting because of the obnoxious smell coming from the guts of the snake.

He tore through the snake and released his friends. ISKCON wants to create a tunnel shaped like a python winding around a hillock. A water slide will take people through the snake’s cave-like mouth and out at a point where a large statue of Krishna is seen tearing open the snake’s body. The boat will take people past lakes of ‘gastric juice’ and remnants of other things the snake has ingested.

Model of the Krishna templeplanned at Vrindavan

Now if people are going to be visiting a site as expansive as this, housing will be critical, more so as the temple is a bit removed from the city. So it plans to build simple, inexpensive rooms,ashrams, cottages and bungalows. The bungalows will be put up for sale.

It’s hard to believe it when ISKCON members tell you that the estimated cost of this ambitious project is merely Rs 350 crore. “It’s all about intelligent design and creative engineering,” says Chanchalapathi. “This shikhar (skyscraper) that is contributing to the height is like the Eiffel Tower. It is a steel structure with an external façade. We have to spend some money on the façade, but internally it’s just steel.” He says while a skyscraper costs about Rs 75 lakh per square feet, “we are doing this at about Rs 11 lakh per square feet”.

Meanwhile, the civil engineering department of the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi is reviewing the structural design. The wind tunnel test has also been conducted to see how the structure will hold out against storms. For water, which will be critical to create and sustain the forests, ISKCON has bought two plots of land on the banks of the Yamuna, about 3 km from the temple site, and installed pumps. Pipes from there will bring water to the site.

As of now, standing on the barren stretch, it’s difficult to imagine the picture ISKCON is painting.

Message For the Day…” Everyone Must Preserve to Protect The Practice of Truth…”

Natarajan1 Comment

A real student is one who contemplates and understands the value of the education being received. Higher knowledge (Vijnana) and Supreme wisdom (Prajnana) are not merely products of education that can be acquired by learning or listening. Everyone can develop these sacred powers through culture and refinement gained through education and consistent practice. What is culture? Culture is the conscious effort put in by every being to achieve a transformation in their daily lives from untruth to truth, from non-conformance to scriptures to conformance to scriptural authority, and from evanescence to eternity. It is a spiritual journey towards Divinity. Human beings are embodiments of truth. Everyone must persevere to protect the practice of Truth (Sathya) and Righteousness (Dharma), which in turn will protect the Universe. If you succeed in doing so, the whole world will enjoy peace and prosperity.

The World’s Best or Most Unlucky Goalie

When a game of soccer ends with a tie, the game moves to a stage called “penalty kicks”, in which the ball is placed in the penalty-kick position. Then, a player tries to kick it into the goal. The teams alternate between them, and (unless they are still tied) the team with more points wins. In this case, the goalie for the North Carolina Tar Heels found an unorthodox way to stop the ball…

Awesome Zen Stories that Will Teach you Important Life Lessons….

Awesome Zen Stories That Will Teach You Important Life Lessons

Zen has a rich tradition of storytelling. Actually, just about the entire human race has a rich history of storytelling. Why do we like stories so much? Because we can identify with them. Stories, whether real or not, pull and tug at our emotions. We connect personally with stories.

Whereas someone can tell us that it’s important for us to appreciate and care for our parents, another person can tell us a story about the life of a daughter and her mother, and about how neither could ever see eye-to-eye all the way up until the day that the mother passed away.

Even if you aren’t a daughter, but a son, or if it was your father whom you had that type of relationship with, or even if you just feel like you don’t appreciate your mother or father (or both) enough, regardless, a story like that can touch you in a way that someone simply telling you, “hey, it’s important that you appreciate your parents”, could never do.

We need to experience something directly in order to really learn what it’s about. This is wisdom, as opposed to knowledge much like you’d acquire in a class at school, a parrot-like type of learning that serves as a nice basis for establishing the necessary foundation for certain larger tasks, but which can serve little real use elsewhere particularly in advancing your well-being.

I love Zen stories. Not just because I find them fun, because I do (most Zen stories require some level of meditative contemplation to figure out), I love them because their purpose is to teach a lesson. Also, Zen stories go beyond just Zen. They’re really just stories about life. So keep in mind I only say Zen stories because they originated from the Zen Buddhist tradition. They speak of truths which everyone can learn from though (as does all of Zen).

The lesson can be anything- any undeniable life truth which can be discovered through a life devoted to looking within yourself. This is the life of any Buddhist, many non-Buddhists, and should be the life of anyone who cares to find the path to true peace and happiness.

These stories only seek to point the way. Don’t take any of them for the truth without investigating them for yourself. The point isn’t to believe blindly, it’s to develop confidence in your life and in the way. By the way, I mean the way to live our best life and ultimately find peace within ourselves and with others. Here’s some of my favorite Zen stories:

6 Awesome Zen Stories That Will Teach You Important Life Lessons

1. Everything changes

“Suzuki Roshi, I’ve been listening to your lectures for years,” a student said during the question and answer time following a lecture, “but I just don’t understand. Could you just please put it in a nutshell? Can you reduce Buddhism to one phrase?”

Everyone laughed. Suzuki laughed.

“Everything changes,” he said. Then he asked for another question.

Explanation: One of the foremost teachings in Buddhism is that everything in life is impermanent. Suzuki Roshi (Shunryu Suzuki of Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind) is referring to this impermanence by saying “everything changes”. This is a very deep teaching, but I’ll attempt to sum it up in a way that can be understood and immediately helpful in a few words.

Because it encompasses everything, you can contemplate for hours on end and not realize the full magnitude of the principle of impermanence. You are impermanent, your loved ones are impermanent, your home is impermanent, even our planet is impermanent.

Why is this important? Because it teaches us that grasping onto things is one of the major reasons as to why we suffer. We need to live being aware of the ever-changing nature of reality and appreciate the present moment. It’s not about letting go, it’s really about not grasping in the first place. If we can learn to live in this way, we can find peace in everyday life.

2. Empty your cup

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. “It is overfull. No more will go in!”

“Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?”

Explanation: The story tells it how it is, so I’ll leave it at that.

3. Non-judgment 

Once upon the time there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically.

“Maybe,” the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed.

“Maybe,” replied the old man.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.

“Maybe,” answered the farmer.

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out.

“Maybe,” said the farmer.

Explanation: The farmer is practicing non-judgment. He understands the true nature of life, that you can’t judge any event as an “end” in a way. Our life doesn’t play out like a work of fiction. There aren’t definite breaks that separate one moment versus another, and there isn’t a perfectly formulated end which everything builds to.

There’s always tomorrow. And whether the day was good or bad, there’s a million effects which can arise from one event. Good and bad are interconnected. They are, in fact, two sides of the same coin. If things seem perfect, they aren’t. If it seems like it’s Armageddon in your corner of the world, it’s not. Things can change in an instant, at all times. And they will at some point or another.

This doesn’t mean that we can’t be happy. On the contrary, it means that we need to realize this truth and live in a way that we’re constantly aware of it in order to find peace and happiness. Don’t let this change the way you live too much just yet though. For now just think on it, observe your life through the lens of this infinitely co-arising universe. This act in itself can bring you a great sense of peace.

4. Right and Wrong

When Bankei held his seclusion-weeks of meditation, pupils from many parts of Japan came to attend. During one of these gatherings a pupil was caught stealing. The matter was reported to Bankei with the request that the culprit be expelled. Bankei ignored the case.

Later the pupil was caught in a similar act, and again Bankei disregarded the matter. This angered the other pupils, who drew up a petition asking for the dismissal of the thief, stating that otherwise they would leave in a body.

When Bankei had read the petition he called everyone before him. “You are wise brothers,” he told them. “You know what is right and what is not right. You may go somewhere else to study if you wish, but this poor brother does not even know right from wrong. Who will teach him if I do not? I am going to keep him here even if all the rest of you leave.”

A torrent of tears cleansed the face of the brother who had stolen. All desire to steal had vanished.

Explanation: This story is pretty straightforward, but it certainly doesn’t make you think any less than the rest. How quickly would most people turn their back on someone who commits a crime like stealing, just as the pupils did. But look deeper and you might just see another human being. Someone that simply needs to be shown the path.

Don’t write people off so easily. Expressing compassion isn’t always easy, but we’re all together in this life, so we can’t just help those that keep good behavior. Those people who commit such crimes are often some of the people that need help with the most basic spiritual and human principles, such as right and wrong.

If you have a loved one who’s committed a crime before you’ll know exactly what I mean. You know they can be better and they shouldn’t be thrown out just because they did something wrong at some point. Sure, we need to keep order, so they should be disciplined for their behavior, but we also need to take time to teach them right and wrong. We should strive to lift them up just as we strive to lift ourselves and those we love up despite their own flaws.

5. Be the boss

A horse suddenly came galloping quickly down the road. It seemed as though the man had somewhere important to go.

Another man, who was standing alongside the road, shouted, “Where are you going?” and the man on the horse replied,

“I don’t know! Ask the horse!”

Explanation: This is a short but well-known Zen story with a powerful meaning behind it. The horse symbolizes our habit energy. The story explains the way we usually live, at the mercy of our old habit energies which have been established not by our intentional actions, but by our surroundings and mindless activity.

The horse is pulling us along, making us run here and there and hurry everywhere and we don’t even know why. If you stopped to ask yourself from time to time why exactly you’re running around so much, sometimes you might have an answer, but it’s never a very good one. You’re just used to it, it’s how we’re taught to live.

But as much as we run, it gets us nowhere. We need to learn how to take back the reigns and let the horse know who’s boss.

You’re the boss, you’ve always been the boss, so start acting like it.

6. Watch yourself

There was once a pair of acrobats. The teacher was a poor widower and the student was a young girl by the name of Meda. These acrobats performed each day on the streets in order to earn enough to eat.

Their act consisted of the teacher balancing a tall bamboo pole on his head while the little girl climbed slowly to the top. Once to the top, she remained there while the teacher walked along the ground.

Both performers had to maintain complete focus and balance in order to prevent any injury from occurring and to complete the performance. One day, the teacher said to the pupil:

‘Listen Meda, I will watch you and you watch me, so that we can help each other maintain concentration and balance and prevent an accident. Then we’ll surely earn enough to eat.’

But the little girl was wise, she answered, ‘Dear master, I think it would be better for each of us to watch ourself. To look after oneself means to look after both of us. That way I am sure we will avoid any accidents and earn enough to eat.’

Explanation: This one isn’t a specifically Zen story, but it’s said to have been told by the Buddha himself. This story is meant to illustrate that taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do to take care of others.

By learning how to nourish your mind and body you’ll naturally begin to treat those around you with more compassion, love, and kindness and create a more positive impact on the world around you as a whole. There is no division, taking care of yourself (in a spiritual sense, not in a material “buy myself things” kind of sense) equals taking care of others.

Specifically, by taking care of yourself, the Buddha was referring to mindfulness. The Buddha also said that by taking care of others, by showing them compassion and loving-kindness, we take care of ourselves.

Message For the Day…” Spiritual Education is the Need of the Hour …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Modern education is mere bookish knowledge, confined to what is contained in the texts. Today many are pursuing such secular education only (i.e., value neutral). Secular education alone is not enough. It must be supplemented with spiritual education. Spiritual education has its effect on one’s heart, and is called Educare. Educare means bringing out the latent Divinity, that is hidden in the heart of human beings and establishing it as an ideal to the whole world. Through Educare, you must develop the principle of love and students must follow the path of truth. True education is that which is suffused with truth and love. Secular education is for making a living, whereas spiritual education is for reaching the goal of life. It is the duty of students as well as educators to harmonize the secular education with spiritual education. This is the prime necessity today.

சந்திரமௌளியின் மாமா ராணுவத்தில் கேப்டனாகப் பணிபுரிந்தவர். கடவுள் நம்பிக்கையுடையவராயிருந்தாலும் பெரியவாளிடத்திலும் ஈடுபாடு இல்லாதவர். அவரது குடும்பத்தினரும் அப்படியே.

வேலூரில் வேலை பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்த அவரது மாப்பிள்ளைக்கு திடீரென்று சிறு நீரகத்தில் கோளாறு. வேலூரில் பரிசோதனை செய்த டாக்டர் கையை விரித்துவிட்டார்.

அன்றிரவு மிகவும் துக்கத்துடன் இருந்த அந்த கேப்டனின் பெண் சொப்பனத்தில் ஸ்ரீ பெரியவாள் தோன்றி “உன் மாங்கல்யத்தைத் தருகிறாயா?” என்று கேட்டார்கள். விடிந்தவுடன், அப்போது உடனடியாக ஒரு மஞ்சள் கயிறு கூட இல்லாத நிலையில் ஒரு சணற் கயிற்றில் மஞ்சளைக் கோர்த்து அணிந்து கொண்டு, மாங்கல்யத்தைப் பெரியவாளுக்காக எடுத்து வைத்துவிட்டாள்.

பின் மௌளியிடம் போனில் விஷயத்தைச் சொன்னார்கள். மௌளி அவர்களை உடனே வந்து பெரியவாளை தரிசனம் செய்யச் சொன்னார். ஆனால், அவர்களுக்குப் பதினைந்து நாட்களுக்குப் பிறகுதான் காஞ்சி மடத்திற்கு வர முடிந்தது.

உள்ளே படுத்துக் கொண்டிருந்த பெரியவாள் மௌளியிடம், “யாராவது தரிசனத்திற்கு வந்திருக்கிறார்களா” என்று வினவினார்கள். மௌளி, “பெரியவாளுக்குச் சிரமம் வேண்டாம்; வெளியில் வரும்போது தரிசனம் கொடுக்கலாம்” என்று சொன்னார்.

அதைக் காதில் வாங்கிக்கொள்ளாமல் தம்பதிகளை உள்ளேயே அழைத்து வரும்படி உத்திரவிட்டார்கள். அவர்கள் உள்ளே வந்ததும் மௌளியின் மாமா பெண்ணைப் பார்த்து. “அதைக் கொண்டு வந்திருக்கிறாயா? தா, தா .. ” என்று கேட்டு மாங்கல்யத்தைப் பெற்றுக்கொண்டார்கள்.

பின்பு பக்கத்திலிருந்த பாலுவிடம் ஒரு பழம் கொண்டுவரச் சொன்னார்கள். அவர் சாத்துக்குடி கொண்டு வந்ததும், “இந்த புளிப்புப் பழம் வேண்டாம்; வேறு நல்ல பழம் கொண்டுவா” என்றார்கள்.

ஒரு நல்ல ஆப்பிள் வந்தது. அதை நகத்தால் கிள்ளிக் கொண்டே வெகு நேரம் கேப்டன் மாப்பிள்ளையே பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்துவிட்டு அந்த ஆப்பிளை அவர்களிடம் கொடுத்துவிட்டு, “உனக்கு ஒன்றுமில்லை, போ” என்று கூறினார்கள்.

வேலூர் சென்றவுடன் மாப்பிள்ளையை மறுபடியும் பரிசோதனை செய்த சிறு நீரக சிறப்பு மருத்துவருக்கு ஒரே ஆச்சரியம்.

கிட்னி இரண்டும் ஒரு குறையுமில்லாமல் நன்றாக வேலை செய்தன.

“என்ன நடந்தது?” என்று கேட்டு விவரம் அறிந்தவுடன் அந்த டாக்டர், “Oh, he is God; He can do anything” என்று வியப்புடன் சொன்னார்.

20 வருஷத்திற்கு மேல் ஆகிவிட்டது. இதுவரை [2006] எந்தத் தொந்திரவும் இல்லாமல் இருக்கிறார்.

முன்பு பெரியவாள் என்றாலே உதாசீன, அலட்சிய பாவத்துடன் இருந்த அவர்கள் வீட்டில் இப்போது பெரியவாள் படங்களைத் தவிர வேறு ஒரு படமும் கிடையாது!.

Who Is Happy… Find Out The Secret .. !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

A crow lived in the forest and was absolutely satisfied in life.

But one day he saw a swan. “This swan is so white,” he thought, “and I am so black.

This swan must be the happiest bird in the world.”

He expressed his thoughts to the swan. “Actually,” the swan replied, “I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a parrot, which has two colours. I now think the parrot is the happiest bird in creation.”

The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot explained, “I lived a very happy life—until I saw a peacock. I have only two colours, but the
peacock has multiple colours.”

The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him.

After the people had left, the crow approached the peacock. “Dear peacock,” the crow said, “you are so beautiful. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me, they immediately shoo me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the planet.”

The peacock replied, “I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo.

I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realized that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So for past few days I have been thinking that if I were a crow, I could happily roam everywhere.”

That’s our problem too. We make unnecessary comparison with others and become sad. We don’t value what God has given us. This all leads to the vicious cycle of unhappiness.

Have Life ahead valuing the things God has given us.

Learn the secret of being happy and discard the comparison which leads only to unhappiness.
