சங்கத்  தமிழுக்கு  பெருமை சேர்க்கும் தங்க மங்கை , வைதேகி  ஹெர்பெர்ட் !!!….வாருங்கள் வாழ்த்துவோம் அவரை !!!

அவர் தமிழ் பணி  மேலும் மேலும் தொடரட்டும் ….சிறக்கட்டும் !!!   சொந்த மண்ணில்   தமிழ்  பேச மறந்த நம் மக்கள் பலர் மத்தியில் ,தான்  வாழ வந்த நாட்டிலும்  ,  சங்கத்தமிழ்  புகழ்  பரப்பும்  இந்த  தங்க பெண்மணி  வாழ்க பல்லாண்டு

நடராசன் .

சங்க இலக்கியத்திலுள்ள பதினெட்டு நூல்களில், பன்னிரெண்டை ஆங்கிலத்தில் மொழிபெயர்த்துள்ளதற்காக தமிழகத்தின் தூத்துக்குடியைச் சேர்ந்தவரும் தற்போது அமெரிக்காவில் வாழ்ந்து வருபவருமான வைதேகி ஹெர்பர்ட் அவர்களுக்கு கனடாவின் டொரண்டோ பல்கலைகழகமும், தமிழ் இலக்கியத் தோட்டமும் விருது ஒன்றை வழங்கி கௌரவித்துள்ளன.

சங்க இலக்கியமே தமிழின் அடிப்படை இலக்கியம் என்றும் அதில் இன்றைக்கு பழக்கத்தில் இல்லாத பல சொற்கள் இருப்பதால் அதன் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு மற்ற இலக்கிய மொழிபெயர்ப்புகளை விட மிகவும் சிக்கலும் சிரமமுமான ஒன்று என பிபிசி தமிழோசைக்கு வழங்கிய சிறப்பு பேட்டி ஒன்றில் வைதேகி ஹெர்பர்ட் தெரிவித்தார்.

உதாரணமாக விறலி எனும் சொல்லுக்கு நேரடியாக ஆங்கிலத்தில் ஒப்பான சொல் இல்லை என்றும் அப்படியான வார்த்தைகளை மொழிபெயர்ப்பு செய்யும் போது கூடுதல் சிரமங்கள் தோன்றின எனவும் அவர் மேலும் கூறுகிறார்.

தமிழ் மொழிக்கு செம்மொழி எனும் அங்கீகாரம் கிடைத்திருந்தாலும் தொடர்ச்சியாக வந்த தமிழக அரசுகள் சங்க இலக்கியத்துக்கு போதிய அளவுக்கு முக்கியத்துவம் அளிக்கவில்லை எனவும் அவர் சுட்டிக்காட்டுகிறார்.

இதுவரை சங்க இலக்கியத்தின் பன்னிரெண்டு படைப்புகளை மொழிபெயர்த்துள்ள வைதேகி இதர ஆறு படைப்புகளையும் அடுத்த ஆண்டு(2014) இறுதிக்குள் முடித்துவிட திட்டமிட்டுள்ளதாகவும் மேலும் கூறுகிறார்.

வைதேகி ஹெர்பர்ட்

பதிற்றுப்பத்தை முதல் முறையாக ஆங்கிலத்தில் மொழிபெயர்த்துள்ளதாகக் கூறும் அவர், அப்போது பெரும் சவால்களை எதிர்கொண்டதாகவும் கூறுகிறார்.

சங்க இலக்கியத்தை பொருத்தவரையில் இதுவரை யாருமே ஒரு நூலுக்கு மேல் மொழிபெயர்த்தது கிடையாது எனக் கூறும் அவர், தன்னுடைய மொழிபெயர்ப்பு படைப்புகளில் வார்த்தைக்கு வார்த்தை ஆங்கிலத்தில் பொருள் சொல்லியுள்ளதாகவும் தமிழோசையிடம் தெரிவித்தார்.

தன்னுடைய முல்லைப்பாட்டு மற்றும் நெடுநெல்வாடை ஆகிய இரு நூல்களின் மொழிபெயர்ப்பையும் அமெரிக்க வாழ் தமிழறிஞர் பேராசிரியர் ஜார்ஜ் ஹார்ட்டும், பதிற்றுப்பத்தை டோக்கியோ பல்கலைகழகப் பேராசிரியர் டாக்கநோபு டாக்காஹாஷியும் மேற்பார்வை செய்து சான்று வழங்கியுள்ளார்கள் எனவும் அவர் சொல்கிறார்.

தனது மொழிபெயர்ப்புகள் வர்த்த ரீதியில் எவ்வித பலனையும் அளிக்காது என்பதை தான் நன்கு உணர்ந்துள்ளதாகவும் வைதேகி ஹெர்பர்ட் கூறுகிறார்.

Message For The Day….Learn to Make The Best Of Life Thro Spiritual Flight !!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

The mood and behaviour of people in cinema halls, marriage halls, exhibitions or while watching a game is very different from that of a spiritual gathering! The mood during entertainment is very different as the crowd there are moved by totally different impulses. However, in a gathering devoted to the needs of the spirit, what is expected is calm, reverential and eager attention, prayerful silence. Silence is most needed in all spiritual gatherings where deeper spiritual disciplines are discussed. Only the eye and the ear need function, the tongue has no business to wag. Everyone then will be able to receive completely, the gift of love and grace. Learn to make the best of life, this chance offered to you to sublimate your instincts, impulses and impressions on the mind from past deeds (Vasanas) and rise higher and higher in the moral and spiritual plane.
– Divine Discourse, Sep 1, 1958.

Message For The Day…Strength Derived From the Divine Is Only The True Strength …

Natarajan1 Comment

It is believed that every man has a free will. This is a mistake. It is also believed that it is through the individual’s ideas and efforts that many things are accomplished. This is based on misconceptions regarding man’s doership and egoism. Strength derived from the Divine alone is true strength. All else is weakness. To realise theAtma, physical prowess is of no avail. It is only by developing the sense of spiritual oneness, that the Atmic Consciousness can be realised. Today the world is plunged in chaos and conflict because this feeling of oneness has been lost. Man engages himself in strenuous efforts to achieve worldly comforts. But he does not make even a minute fraction of such efforts to meditate on God. How much greater happiness would he enjoy if he were to devote even a few moments to thoughts of God!

Question no. 1
You : SAI MAA, what to do when someone insults me? How should I react? BABA : All you got to do is keep SMILING and thank them.
You : BABA How can I smile when someone insults me? Why should I even thank them?
BABA : Before I answer that, Now tell me how do you clean your dress if it becomes dirty?
You : I will use soap and water and take off that dirt.
BABA : Ah! Exactly, In the same way the one who is Insulting you is also cleaning you. The reason why you and everyone are here is because of Karma. So the one who insults you is taking your karmas, your pains onto him. So
ALWAYS BE PATIENT AND NEVER GET ANGRY EVEN IF SOMEONE INSULTS YOU. I WILL TAKE CARE
You :. Love you SAI MAA

Question no. 2
You : BABA how to control my anger when someone irritates me?
BABA : What is anger?
You : It is a feeling
BABA : What is Affection?
You : It is also a feeling
BABA : Where do I live?
You : Oh SAI MAA you are the Supreme God and you live everywhere
BABA : Can you see me in your mother?
You : Yes SAI MAA
BABA : Can you see me in your Father?
You : Indeed! You are my mother and father SAINATH!
BABA : Can you see me in your Friend?

Question no. 3
Nanasaheb asks BABA
Nana: Baba, Who is God? How will He look? Where is He? How can we see Him?
Baba: Oh Nana! God is everywhere. There is no place where He is not. What prevents us from seeing Him is the power of Maya. I, you, this world, all are part of God. Therefore no one should hate another. Never forget that the Lord is everywhere. That will generate Love in you. When love overflows, everything is obtained.

Question no. 4
You : Oh MAA SAI, Why do you have to suffer the pains of others. Why can’t you just destroy the pains of your devotees?
BABA : My child, the answer is Karma. If someone is going through difficult times either health or wealth problems, it’s all because of Karma. When my devotees come to my feet and ask for my help,.
I TAKE THEIR KARMA ONTO MYSELF. No one can destroy karma just like that. So I TAKE MY DEVOTEES PAINS AND SUFFER FOR THEM.

MY HAPPINESS LIES IN MY DEVOTEES HAPPINESS
I don’t want anything in return except for Your Love….

Message For The Day….Avoid Doing Harm or Causing Pain to Others …

NatarajanLeave a comment

The holy culture of this ancient land has been spoilt by just one impurity; intolerance of another’s success, prosperity or progress. If you cannot help another, at least avoid doing harm or causing pain. That itself is a great service. What right have you to find fault with or to talk evil of another? When you say that nothing can ever happen on earth without His Will, why get annoyed or angry? Your duty is to cleanse yourself and engage in your own inner purification. That endeavor will bring you the cooperation of all good men and you will find strength and joy welling up within you.

Message For The Day…You Are Yourself Paramatma ….

Natarajan1 Comment

When the senses are brought under control by the mind, the mind itself ceases to function; it disappears as it were. Then man experiences a profound silence. That stillness resulting from the absence of the mind is true Knowledge (Jnana). This knowledge cannot be acquired by intellectual ability or mental agility, nor by following an example. It is sui generis. Consider the ashes which cover a burning charcoal or the moss which covers a sheet of water. The ashes have come from the charcoal. The moss has originated from the water. The cataract that dims the vision of the eye, wherefrom has it come? From the eye itself! When the screen that blinds the vision is removed, the true Self will be seen in its real form. Atma Jnana is not obtainable through books, preceptors or even Paramatma (the Supreme Self). You are yourself theParamatma, the Jnana, the Atma.

Message For The Day…Pardon The Fault Of Others …

NatarajanLeave a comment

When you go to a doctor, you must take the medicine that he prescribes and follow his advice and instructions. There is no use blaming him if you default. How can the doctor cure you if you do not take medicines or follow the diet restrictions and regulate your intake according to his advice? Similarly, follow My advice and then watch the result. Also remember, it is a sign of foolishness to brood over mishaps and mistakes once committed, and punish oneself by refusing to take food and so on. What good is it to ill-treat the body to correct the mind? Even as you deal with your own faults strictly, you should pardon that of others. Do not misunderstand their motives and scandalise them; perhaps their motives might be as noble as yours or their action might be due to ignorance, rather than wickedness or mischief.

Idea of Chennai Trio May Pave the Way For a Breakthrough in Aircraft Noise Reduction !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

CHENNAI: An idea floated by three Chennai students could give birth to the world’s quietest airline in the near future.

Charles Champion, the top engineering man in the world’s leading aircraft manufacturing company Airbus has said that an ambitious plan to create the aircraft of the future with zero propulsion noise by three aerospace engineering students from Chennai “makes sense” and is being looked at by the company “as a key idea to develop”.

The team from SRM University Chennai consisting of Balakrishnan Solaraju Murali, Michael Thomas and Anita Mohil, is among the only five teams that has made it to the final of the “Fly Your Ideas” competition that saw 6,000 students in 618 teams from 82 countries vie for the 30,000 euro top prize.

The Indian team’s top line idea is called “Engine air cooling system for noise reduction”.

The trio have found a way to reduce propulsion noise by modifying the shape of the jet exhaust using intelligent materials (shape memory alloys).

These alloys are powered by harvested electricity generated by advanced thermoelectric materials using engine heat source.

Speaking to TOI from France, Champion who is the executive vice president (engineering) at Airbus said “noise of an airline is a real bother. Historically there has been a 75% noise reduction of airlines in the last 50 years. It has become a serious issue. Noise of aeroplanes now decide whether airlines can fly to European or British airports or not”.

“The idea by the Chennai students to use the heat from the engine of the airline as a source of energy that will generate electricity that will help change the shape of the exhaust thereby reducing noise dramatically is a brilliant idea. But it will now go through several rounds till it reaches the technology readiness level 6. This is when the company will decide to develop the idea as a product. It will take another 4 years before the concept can be implemented,” Champion said.

All airlines are now having to prove minimum environmental impact to be able to land at airports in developed countries.

“External noise is a major component of aircraft design now. Around 20 years ago, we launched the A 737 which was the quietest of its time. Now after we launched A 380 recently, A 737 sounds noisy. Lowering noise will also lower fuel consumption. We are now working on the next generation of aircraft A 320 which is quieter than A 380 with 15% lesser fuel consumption,” Champion said.

According to Champion, India is a great asset for engineering. “This competition is to get new ideas and trends from brilliant young engineers. The Indian team has a high chance to win,” Champion added.

The competition has been floated by Airbus.

The other teams to make it to the final are from Australia, Brazil, Italy and Malaysia.

Ideas floated in the competition included planes powered by body heat, luggage floating on a bed of air or even an aircraft running on liquid methane.

The final hurdle will see students present their ideas to a jury of Airbus and industry experts at Airbus’ headquarters in Toulouse on 12th June 2013. The winning team will receive the 30,000 euro prize with the runners up bagging 15,000 euros.

The winners will be announced at an exclusive ceremony at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris on 14th June 2013.

Aerospace engineers from across the world had to create the aircraft of the future covering one of six themes identified by Airbus as key 21st century challenges for a greener aviation industry.

These included addressing energy, efficiency, affordable and traffic growth, passenger experience and community friendliness.

  • Neha Ramu has an IQ of 162
  • Identified as one of UK’s smartest people
  • Average British IQ is 100
  • Hopes to study neurology at Harvard University

 

A teenager from south-west London scored so high in a Mensa IQ test for people under the age of 18 that she has been identified as one of the UK’s brightest people.

Any score of above 140 is considered to be that of a genius and 13-year-old Neha Ramu from Surbiton scored 162, which is the highest mark possible, making her smarter than Stephen Hawking

Whilst Stephen Hawking refuses to reveal his IQ, it is estimated to be 160.
Young genius: Neha Ramu, 13, scored so high in a Mensa IQ test for people under the age of 18, she has been identified as one of the UK's brightest people
Young genius: Neha Ramu, 13, scored so high in a Mensa IQ test for people under the age of 18, she has been identified as one of the UK’s brightest people

The bright youngster moved from Bangalore in India aged seven and while she thinks that the Indian education system gave her a good head start, she loves her school life in the UK.

 

 

Her parents only recently discovered the true extent of her intelligence after the schoolgirl was awarded the top marks possible in her entrance exams.

Speaking about her intelligence, Neha told the BBC: ‘When I found out I got such a high score it was so amazing and unexpected.

‘Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, they’ve achieved so much. It’s not right to compare me to them just because of my IQ.

‘If I don’t put in my effort and make use of my IQ then there’s no point in having it.’

Whilst she favours activities such as chess and reading, her mother explained that she still makes time for normal activities such as TV, swimming and playtime with her friends.

The youngster now has high hopes of studying neurology at the prestigious Harvard University.

 

Brains: Professor Stephen Hawking and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen are amongst the top five most intelligent people in the world

MENSA FACTS AND FIGURES

Mensa cite the average adult IQ score is 100.

The current youngest member of Mensa is Alice Amos, from Guildford, Surrey, UK who was assessed at the age of 2 years and 11 months and accepted at the age of 3 years 2 weeks. She has an IQ of 162.

British Mensa’s oldest ever member was 103.

American Mensa’s general membership is 66 per cent male and 33 per cent female.

 

World’s most intelligent people currently:

Stephen W. Hawking, 70. Reported IQ of 160, he has carried out groundbreaking research into theoretical physics as well as authorising books explaining the universe.

Kim Ung-Yong, 50. IQ of 210, by the age of two he was fluent in four languages and was invited to study in U.S. by NASA age 8.

Paul Allen, 59. IQ of 170. Co-founder of Microsoft and 48th richest person in the world and top philanthropist.

Message For The Day….Namasmarana is the Best Antidote for Anger and Sorrow….

NatarajanLeave a comment

All of you are already spiritual aspirants (Sadhakas) or bound to be one soon! It is said, Moksha lies in the sukshma – Liberation can be achieved by subtle means. Few important steps for you: Treat others in the same way, you would like them to treat you. Never brood over the past; when grief overpowers you, do not recollect similar incidents from your past to add to your grief. Recollect, rather, incidents when you were happy! Draw consolation and strength from them. Raise yourself above the surging waters of sorrow. Women are called ‘weak’ because they yield to anger and sorrow much more easily than men; so I would ask them to take extra pains to overcome these two. Namasmarana (chanting the Lord’s name) is the best antidote for this and if you take it up, the Lord will come to your rescue and instill the faith that everything is God’s Will and teach that you have no right to exult or despair.
