Message For The Day….Do Not Spend Time in Hateful Talks…

NatarajanLeave a comment

Spend your time in the contemplation of the beauties of Nature that are spread out before you in the earth and sky. Enjoy the green expanses of the crops, cool breezes that waft contentment and joy, the panorama of coloured clouds, the music of the birds, etc. Sing the glory of God as you walk in Nature, along the bunds of the fields and the banks of the canals. Avoid polluting the air with vengeful boasts. Do not spend time in hateful talks when you see God has created such wonderful evidences of love! Living in these placid surroundings, you should not disturb the sky with your shouts and curses. Any seed needs water and manure to grow and yield a rich harvest. So too, the tiny sapling of spiritual yearning for liberation from bondage also needs water and manure. Just a wise farmer will care for his crops dearly, you must take care of your habits to reap the harvest of liberation.

Message For The Day….When You Get Angry Quietly Chant The Name of GOD ….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Set right your habits, purify your conduct and cleanse your behavior. Even one bad habit can destroy all health, happiness, charm and joy. Control yourself and do not yield to the temptations of friends or social conventions and become prey to bad habits. The body is the temple of the Lord. Keep it in good and strong condition. Also be aware that it can be damaged from qualities such as anger, hatred and greed, or from sloth, sleep and inactivity. When you get angry and/or violent with anyone, quietly repeat the Name of the Lord to save you from your anger. Drink a glass of cold water, or lie down in a bed until the fit of fury passes through. When you are angry, you abuse another and the other person does the same, so tempers rise and heat is generated which causes lasting injury. Five minutes of anger can damage five generations of relationship, so be careful.

An incredible photo shows a mass of storm clouds churning over the Atlantic Ocean near Brazil and the Equator.

It was taken by one of the Expedition 36 crew members aboard the International Space Station.

A Russian spacecraft, docked to the orbiting outpost, partially covers a small patch of sunlight on the ocean waters in a break in the clouds.

The photo was taken using a 50mm lens.

The previous crew of Expedition 35, had Canadian Chris Hadfield on board who gained a cult following on Twitter for his images of the Earth from space.

FloodGates Open….A Teriffic Operation !!!

Visitors watch water gushing from the section of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir on the Yellow River, during a sand-washing operation

These photographs may look like scenes from an apocalyptic film.

But in fact they are of an annual operation to move 30 million tonnes of silt downstream a year in the Henan province.

Bystanders holding umbrellas are dwarfed as they watch the tremendous rush of water gushing through gaps in a dam.

It is part of a carefully-chorepgraphed operation to remove silt from the Yellow River in Luoyang.

More than 390 million tonnes shifted this way over the last 13 years.

The silt-carrying water gushes out of three specialised holes in the dam.

The Yellow River authority says the operation lowers the river bed in the lower reach of the river by an average of 2.03 meters each year.

The dam stands at 154m (505ft) tall and is 1,317m (4,321ft) wide.

When it was built opened in 2000, following a six-year construction, it had cost US$3.5billion to construct.
Residents turn out to watch the annual event - and try to avoid a drenching by protecting themselves with umbrellas

Message For The Day….You Must Evolve Your Own Code of Conduct …

NatarajanLeave a comment

There is no use in asking a doctor to advise you about the plans for the building you propose to raise, nor is it wise to ask an engineer to assuage the pain. Go to the proper Guru and learn from him the cardinal principles to guide your lives. Take time to understand, internalize and practice – what is your code of conduct, what does it allow, what does it condemn, why should it be followed? You must evolve your own code of conduct (Athma Dharma) centred on the Divine, appropriate to your situation, which is based on the firm belief on the omnipresence and omnipotence of the Divine Self which pervades the entire Universe.

” ஓ அதைத்தானே Stratosphere என்று சொல்வது ” !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

மொழி ஆராய்ச்சியில் எடுத்தாலும் அப்படித்தான் பெரியவா பேசும் ஆங்கிலம் மிகவும் கடினமாக உயர்ந்ததாக இருக்கும்.

அகராதியைப் புரட்டாமல் அர்த்தம் தெரியாது.நூறு வருடத்துக்கு முன்பே அவர் கான்வென்டில் படித்தவர்.ஆகவே அற்புதமாக ஆங்கிலத்தில் உரையாடுவார்.

ஒரு முறை விமான நிலையத்தைக் காண, பெரியவா மீனம்பாக்கம் சென்றார். எல்லா இடங்களையும் பார்வையிட்டபின் இன்ஜினீயரிங் செக்ஷன் வந்தது. அங்குள்ளவற்றை ஒருவர் விவரிக்கப் பிரயத்தனப்பட்டார். அவருக்கு தமிழில் சரளமாகப் பேச வரவில்லை

ஆனால் பெரியவாளுக்குத் தமிழில் சொல்லாவிட்டால் புரியாதே என்று நினைத்தார். தெரிந்தவரை சொல்லிக் கொண்டிருந்தவரைப் பெரியவா, “பிளேன் மேலே பறக்கும்போது காதைத் துளைக்கும்படியா ஒரு சத்தம் வரதே அது கேட்டுண்டேதான் இருக்குமா? என்று கேட்க “ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட லெவல் வரைதான் கேட்கும். அதற்கு மேலே போயிட்டா
விமானச் சத்தம் கேட்காது!” என்றார். அந்தப் பொறியாளர்.

“ஓ! அதைத்தானே Stratosphere-னு சொல்லுவா!” என்று பெரியவர் சொல்ல…பொறியாளருக்குத் தூக்கிவாரிப்போட்டது.

‘இத்தனை நேரம் தமிழ் வார்த்தைகளையே தேடிக் கொண்டிருந்தேனே.. இவருக்கு போயா ஆங்கிலம் தெரியாது என்று நினைத்தேன்!’ என்று வெட்கினார்.

இப்படித்தான் அடிக்கடி உத்தியோகம் மாறுகிற ஒருவர் வந்தார்.

“இப்போ எதில் இருக்கே?” என்று கேட்கிறார் பெரியவர்.

அவருக்குப் புரியணுமேன்னு நினைச்சு மிகவும் கஷ்டப்பட்டு, “அந்தக் கணக்கு போடற யந்திரத்துக்கு பேப்பர் தரும் வேலை!” என்றார்.

“Computer Stationery-தானே நீ சொன்னது?” என்று பெரியவர் அவர் சங்கடத்தைத் தவிர்க்கிறார்.எந்த மொழியை எடுத்துக்கொண்டாலும் அதில் ஆழங்கால் கண்டவராயிற்றே.

When he realised what he had done, wife Cathy dared him to repeat it for the third-year running. The PE teacher kept up the joke and for the past 40 years staff and pupils have eagerly awaited his arrival at school for the annual photo.

Message For The Day…True Devotion is Not That Easy….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Devotion is very difficult to acquire, it is not easy to become a true devotee. A true devotee should fully surrender, and be in complete contentment, whatever may happen. Truly speaking, this is more difficult than the Path of Wisdom (Jnana marga). But do not despair. The river must flow back to its source; it must flow on and on, down and deeper until it merges in the ocean. Do not be discouraged, keep your hope on, you have to win some day. Having taken all the effort to receive good counsel in spirituality, you must put into practice at least one teaching. One stick is enough to light a fire, the entire box of matches is not needed. Have faith and be steady in the pursuit of the goal.
