Message For The Day….Do Not Worry About Ups And Downs ….

First, have unshakeable faith that can stand the ridicule of the ignorant, worldly and the low-minded. When someone ridicules you, reflect within yourself – Are they ridiculing my body or soul? If they are ridiculing my body, they are helping me develop detachment! Ridiculing the soul is impossible, for, theAtma is beyond praise or blame, words or thoughts. Then repeat to yourself, “I am the Eternal Self, Pure and Immovable (Nirmala, Nischala) and so I must transcend this feeling.” Secondly, do not worry about ups and downs, loss or gain, joy or grief. You are the creator of your own destiny. You crave for something – when you get it, you feel joyful! If you don’t get it, you are in despair. Cut the craving off, and there will be no more swings between joy and grief. Finally, be convinced in the Omnipresence of Divinity.

Money Saving Tips From Our Grandparents !!!!

Live within your means
Living within your means is something easily said and a lot harder to follow. To do it, it is just a question of making a budget and spending less than what you earn (net after taxes). The main thing is to focus on your needs, not your wants, because it is easy to let our impulse spending get out of control. In addition, our grandparents certainly knew how to avoid lifestyle inflation. If you have already lived happily with a set amount of money before, why change now? You will not really miss the extra income if you do not get used to it and it is a lot more satisfying to see your retirement account grow.
“Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without”
This rather catchy phrase was used quite a number of times during the Great Depression and is the perfect counterpart to the word ‘frugal.’
Use it up
As a society that enjoys stockpiling, trying different things and always being dazzled by the next new must-have, it can be hard to shut out all the marketing noise. However, if you’ve stockpiled a whole range of products such as shampoos, use up your stash before trying a new brand or going out to buy yet another 10 on sale.
Wear it out
The best example of this would be an automobile purchase. When you buy a car, buy it until it is absolutely worn out and destined for recycling at the junk heap. Don’t fall into the trap of wanting a new car every 3 years just to keep up with the Joneses.
Make it do
What you have may not be perfect, but if it is able to do the job with a little coaxing, don’t bother buying anything. For instance, let’s say you run out of your favorite brand of ketchup in the house, but you have an old generic bottle that has been sitting around for a while that you don’t really like. Make it do by adding flavorings such as spices to change what you don’t like about it.
Do without
If you simply have nothing that is usable, find a creative way to do use something else. Perhaps you ran out of that commercial fertilizer for your plants. Why not try making your own at home by using egg shells, which are full of calcium, or your old coffee grounds? It would certainly help the environment.
Cook at home
During the Great Depression, eating out was a rare treat. Today, it has turned from a treat to a routine habit, as seen in 2011 where 40.6% of American food budgets in general was spent on eating food away from home. If you must go to a restaurant, at least cut back on how frequently you go. Ask for water rather than an overpriced alcoholic beverage.
Free things
There’s no need to feel like staying at home is a punishment rather than a treat. Our grandparents were just trying to keep food on the table and didn’t have the luxury of big-box malls to shop at. It can be nice to wind down and relax rather than always being on the go. Find free things to do like playing a sport with your friends, trying a new recipe at home, taking a book out of a library, or learning a new skill such as a new language that could potentially increase your earning income in the future.
The bottom line
Being frugal doesn’t mean being cheap, it means being smart with how you spend your money so you are able to save more for your future. After all, you spent a lot of time earning it. Our grandparents know best.

Message For The Day….Advice To Students And Youngsters….

Students and youngsters must have challenging attitude towards things and honour physical labour. You must be eager to be of service to those who need it on account of their disabilities. Honour your elders and do not miss any chance of serving or pleasing them. Whatever gives you health and joy, welcome it – but do not lower yourself by indulging in vulgar pastimes. Do not wander aimlessly in the streets or frequent cinema halls and mix with undesirable company, or cultivate bad habits for fun. Remember that you must raise your motherland to great heights through your hard work and effort. When you develop such virtues, the nation will prosper.

Even Today Devotees Experience the Miracles of Mahaperiavar!!!

Here are two different mails received from our members. We are very glad and proud to present these first-hand experiences from the current generation of people, who are still witnessing the miracles of Periva, because of the sheer devotion they have in Him.

a) Rain in Sathuragiri – experience of Sri Hari (extracted from the member’s mail):

“We visited Sathuragiri during the weekend of March 23-24, and had a wonderful darshan of the Swami on the hill top. While we were back in the basement on March 24, we had our bath and were performing our anushtaanam in a garden of a private property (thoppu). There, as we were doing our Japam, one of the working women came around and requested us to pray for rains for that region. We were obviously reminded instantly of our Periva only and we made a sincere prayer to Him to bless that region with some showers, and told those workers that they can expect a rainfall soon, and came back to Chennai.

On Tuesday the 26th March 2013, out of a sudden thought, we gave a quick call to the Thoppu people to find out if all is well. To our surprise, we found that the previous evening 25th March, they witnessed very good amount of rainfall in their region and all the drylands had received sufficiently good amount of rain to keep them wet and safe for a few more months. They said they had not seen such a thick rainfall for many months in the past. We were more than glad, and thanked Periva once again – just wanted to share this with everyone else, as He has always been so kind to bring in rainfall for all affected areas like the Sage RishyaSrungar.”

b) Rain in Tirupur – experience of Sri K Narayanan, Tirupur (extract from the member’s mail):

“I am from Tirupur. Yesterday (7th April 2013) we had the Unchivirthi from Prathosham Mama team at Tirupur. Sri Vinayakaram , famous Gadam Vidhvan gave a “Chathur Gadam – Solo” performance on the occasion to celebrate Mahaswami’s 120th Jayanthi. During the welcome speech, Dr K Natarajan , representing Tirupur public put forth a request to Sri Vinayakaram to pray for the betterment of Tirupur and for rains .

Sri Vinayakaram , before he commenced his performance said that on the last occasion when he performed at Tirupur at Ramakrishna Bajanai Madam at Tirupur year before last year, he put forth the prayer for the madam to be renovated ( it was in a dilapidated condition ) and said that today Periyava’s karunai had made it happen. He further said that Periyava will shower his blessings for the request now made. He started his performance.

Within seconds, there was a good shower in Tirupur. This is the way HE (periyava) responds to the prayers of Bakthas in no time. All present at the venue were overwhelmed by his shower of blessing by way of shower of rain. We all hope that he will bring back Tirupur back to its glory.”
