Rama is the embodiment of Dharma (Righteousness), which is the basis for the entire Universe. However deep and great our scholastic eminence or wealth may be, this birth is of no use without the transformation of the mind. Merely repeating Rama’s name is inadequate without realising the Rama Thathwa (Principle). A true human being is one who consistently practices the principle of dharma. Burning is thedharma of fire. Coolness is the dharma of ice. Fire is no fire without burning. Similarly the dharma of man lies in performing actions with the body, following the commands of the heart, deeply rooted in Divine Love. Every act performed with thought, word, and deed in harmony is an act of dharma. From today, emulate Rama in your daily life and transform yourself by following the path of Love. |

A Bitter Battle Turns Sweet at the End …..
L. Ponnudurai
Dalit boy completes chemical engineering and lands job, despite all odds
Four years ago, L. Ponnudurai was cleaning tables at a restaurant in Rajapalayam bus depot. In a month from now, he will begin work in a reputed cement company, as a chemical engineer.
The story of this gritty Dalit boy from Gopalapuram village near Rajapalayam in southern Tamil Nadu is an inspiring one. When he was barely five years old, his mother had committed suicide. Soon after this, his father remarried and sent him away to his grandmother’s place.
A relative noted his keenness to learn and put him in a government Adi Dravidar hostel. “My relatives were mill labourers and earned very little. To avoid burdening them, I used to stay in the hostel even during holidays,” said Ponnudurai.
He scored 96 per cent in Class X, and friends suggested a vocational course at a polytechnic institute. But, Ponnudurai said, he was keen on studying further.
Scholarships helped him finish Class XII with 93 per cent. He, however, faced a roadblock when he wanted to pursue his dream of going to college, as he did not have money to buy a form and apply for engineering counselling.
One day, his former physics teacher spotted him working at Vasantha Bhavan in Rajapalayam. “The next day, all my teachers landed up there. They had pooled in money to send me to Chennai and apply for engineering,” said Ponnudurai.
But this was not the end of Ponnudurai’s struggle. He tried to apply for an education loan all on his own, but bank officials wanted his father to be present. “He came only after my school teachers pleaded with him and promised to pay for his travel,” he added.
Ponnudurai came to Chennai with Rs. 2,000 and two pairs of clothes, but these were not his concerns. “Having studied in Tamil, learning in English was very difficult,” he said. Taunts over his complexion or his trousers almost broke his will. “I ran away thrice from campus, vowing never to return, but friends persuaded me to go back. In the hostel, I kept to myself,” he said.
But now, life is looking up. He recently cleared a recruitment interview with Ramco Cements and has got a decent offer. “I cannot ask for more.They let me answer questions in Tamil. I did not want to work in an IT company. I studied chemical engineering and I really like the subject,” he said, smiling. He has other plans too. “In villages, even bright students are unaware of opportunities, admission procedures, and scholarships. I want to convince students there to finish college,” he said.
Message For The Day…Understand and Enjoy The Bliss Of Rama Thathwa !!!!
The Rama principle (Thathwa) is laden with many subtle secrets. The Rama story is of exemplary excellence ethically, spiritually and materially as well. Rama was the embodiment of the four cardinal principles: truth, righteousness, love, and peace. The story of Rama teaches us how one should live in the world and conduct himself in the family as well as in society. It also teaches us how one should retain one’s individuality and shape one’s personality. Only when we shape ourselves into a strong personality can we conduct ourselves ideally in the family and in society. He also enshrined in Himself the principles of equanimity, unity and bliss. This principle of bliss is latent in every human heart. Understand and internalize that each and every one of you have a right to realise and enjoy this principle of bliss, which is the real Rama Thathwa.
Message For The Day…Anger is More Harmful than Sorrow….

I know how systematic you all are in eating and drinking. You take pretty good care of the body. I do not condemn it; I only want that you should take equally good care of the needs of the spirit also. Take a dose of Dhyanam (meditation) and Japam(repetition of holy Names) as the morning breakfast; Puja andArchana (prayer and worship) as lunch at noon; someSathsang (holy company) or Sathchinthana (holy thoughts) or reading of holy books or Nama likhitha (writing of holy Names) as afternoon tea and snacks; an hour of bhajan as dinner; and a small ten-minute manana (reflection) as the cup of milk before going to bed. This diet is enough to keep your inner being happy and healthy. That is My advice to you today.

A Tour Of Changi Airport..Singapore…World”s Best Airport !!!!
Singapore’s Changi Airport is a major hub for international transport, with more than 135,000 passengers passing through every day.
But it’s no boring airport terminal. Changi was just named the Best Airport in The World by Skytrax, a company that tracks and rates airline and airport performance.
Realizing that travel can be stressful, the team behind Changi designed the airport to be an open, airy space with lots of greenery (Singapore is the garden city, after all), gardens, outdoor access, and comfortable seating areas.
There are also incredible amenities, like a butterfly garden, rooftop pool, movie theaters, hotels, spas, and showers, and even a four-story slide.
The airport is an architectural marvel. The newest terminal, Terminal 3, was designed by CPG Consultants, in collaboration with Woodhead, Tierra Design and SOM, Bartenbach LichtLabor and Hugh Dutton & Associates.
Most passengers enter the airport at Terminal 3, the newest and largest terminal at Changi, which is where Singapore Airlines is based. At 380,000 sq. m., the terminal is spacious, with high ceilings and an open, airy feel.
There’s also a lush vertical garden here called the “Green Wall.” It has over 20 varieties of plants, vines, and flowers growing on it.
It’s easy to get between terminals on the Skytrain.
One of the best things about Changi airport is its Balinese-themed outdoor rooftop pool, located in Terminal 1. Passengers can pay to use this pool for about $14. (It’s free for guests who are staying in the Ambassador Transit Hotel.)
You can watch planes take off and land directly from the pool garden.
The pool also has its own Tiki bar.
And its own fitness center (along with locker rooms, where you can shower after).
Each terminal has an Ambassador Transit Hotel, where passengers can rent hotel rooms for a minimum of six hours — perfect if you’re exhausted and have a long layover. Room rates start at $76 for a 6-hour block and are charged hourly after that.
Rooms here look like normal hotel rooms, with two twin or one double bed, bathrooms, TVs, and desks. Some rooms have windows that look out onto the tarmac.
The airport has a nature trail, which encourages passengers to go outdoors and breathe in fresh air while at the airport. There are five gardens in the airport, including a rooftop sunflower garden.
There’s even an enclosed butterfly garden — the first such garden in an airport — which is home to butterflies, flowers, lush greenery, and a 6-meter (20-ft.) waterfall.
There’s lots of greenery inside the airport too.
There are free internet terminals scattered throughout the airport, making it easy to stay in touch.
And free charging stations, where you can lock up your phone while it charges.
Everything here is technologically savvy—even the bathrooms. Each bathroom has an electronic monitoring system where passengers can rate the cleanliness of the bathroom. If you’re not happy with the service, simply tap the frowny face on the touchscreen monitor.
Then tap the reason why you’re unhappy with the bathroom, and a message will immediately be sent to the bathroom supervisor alerting them to the issue.
High-end designer shops, like Gucci, Burberry, and Hermes, keep shoppers occupied while they wait for their flights.
But there are also some more affordable shops, and lots of duty free stores
There are tons of dining and drinking options. The airport even has an outpost of Singapore’s famous Harry’s Bar.
sumptuous buffet in the first class lounge.
When you’re tired of eating, drinking and shopping, you can watch a movie. There are two movie theaters in the airport, which show a rotating roster of current movies, like the Bourne Legacy.
Kids will love the awesome four-story, 40-ft. slide.
As will adults. If you spend $10 at any airport venue, you’re eligible to ride the slide.
The whole airport is designed to help people relax and to make the flying experience less stressful. You’ll find seating areas scattered throughout the airport with cushy chairs for napping, reading, or TV watching. The chairs were really comfortable.
Even the art exhibits are supposed to be soothing. This Kinetic Rain sculptural installation in Terminal 1 changes shape in a hypnotic dancing motion.

” பணத்துக்கு நீ சொந்தக்காரன் இல்லை”…மகாபெரியவர் சொல்கிறார் !!!
ஆடிட்டர் ஒருவர் தர்மகாரியங்களில் ஆர்வமாக ஈடுபடுவார். ராமநவமி, கிருஷ்ணஜெயந்தி, சங்கர ஜெயந்தி என்று எந்த விழாவாக இருந்தாலும் அவர் முதல் ஆளாக முன்னிற்பார். ஏழை எளியவர்கள் மீது இரக்கம் கொண்டு உதவி செய்வார். அவரை ஊர்மக்கள் “பெரியவர்’ என்று தான் அழைப்பர். காஞ்சிப்பெரியவரிடத்தில் ஆடிட்டருக்கு நல்ல மதிப்பும் மரியாதையும் உண்டு.
ஆடிட்டரின் மூத்த மனைவி காலமானபின், பெரியவரின் ஆசியுடன் இரண்டாம் கல்யாணமும் செய்து கொண்டார். நான்கு பையன்களும் ஒரு பெண்ணுமாக ஐந்து பிள்ளைகள் இருந்தனர். பெரியவரைத் தரிசிக்க வரும்போதெல்லாம் , ஆடிட்டரைப் பார்த்து,””கர்ணன் மாதிரி எல்லாருக்கும் தானதர்மம் செய்றே!” என்று அன்போடு சொல்வார். காலம் ஓடியது. ஆடிட்டரின் பிள்ளைகளும் ஆடிட்டர்களாகவே பணியாற்றினர். பெண்ணும் ஒரு ஆடிட்டரையே திருமணம் செய்து கொண்டு செல்வச்செழிப்போடு வாழ்ந்து வந்தார். அவருக்குப் பிறந்த பையனும் ஆடிட்டர் தான்.
பெற்றோர் மறைவுக்குப்பின், பிள்ளைகள் எல்லாம் தானதர்மம் செய்வதில் ஆர்வம் காட்டவில்லை. ஆனாலும், அப்பா வகித்து வந்த தர்ம ஸ்தாபனப் பதவிகளில் மூத்தமகன் இருந்து வந்தார். தான தர்மம் என்று யாரும் கேட்டால், “”அது என்ன விலை? எந்த கடையில் கிடைக்கும்?” என்று கேட்கும் அளவுக்கு அவருடைய நிலை மோசமாக இருந்தது.
ஒருசமயம், அவருக்கு உடல்நிலை பாதிக்கப்பட்டது. பரிசோதித்ததில், “கேன்சர்’ என்று சொல்லிவிட்டார்கள். அவருக்கு பேர் சொல்ல ஒரு பிள்ளையும் இல்லை. அவரது மனதை கவலை வாட்டியது. குடும்பத்தின் மதிப்பிற்குரிய மகானான காஞ்சிப்பெரியவரைத் தரிசித்து வருவதென்று முடிவெடுத்து காஞ்சி மடத்திற்குப் புறப்பட்டார்.
“”சுவாமி! அடியேனின் பணிவான நமஸ்காரம்! எனக்கு ரத்தஅழுத்தம், சர்க்கரைநோய் ரொம்ப காலமாக இருக்கு! இப்போ கேன்சரும் வாட்டி வதைக்குது! மனசாலும், உடம்பாலும் நான் படும் அவஸ்தைகளை சொல்லி முடியாது. பெரியவா நீங்க தான் எனக்கு நல்வழிகாட்டி அனுகிரஹம் பண்ணணும்!” என்று சொல்லி அழுதார்.
“”உன்னை ரொம்ப நன்னாவே எனக்குத் தெரியும்! உங்கப்பா தானதர்மங்களை கர்ணன் மாதிரி செய்து வந்தார். அதனால் ஜனங்களெல்லாம் “பெரியவர்’ என்று அவரை மதிப்போடு கூப்பிடுவாங்க. விதியை யாராலும் மாத்தி எழுத முடியாது.
கிணத்திலே தண்ணீர் இருக்கு! ஆனால், அது தண்ணீரை தன்னுடையது என்று சொல்லி சொந்தம் கொண்டாடுவதில்லை! மரத்திலே பூக்கள் அடுக்கடுக்கா பூத்துக் குலுங்குது! ஆனால், பூவெல்லாம் எனக்குத்தான் என்று மரம் ஆர்ப்பரிப்பதில்லை! பசு பால் தருகிறது. பால் முழுவதும் தனக்கு தான் என்று பசு உரிமை பாராட்டுவதில்லை! உனக்கும் பட்டம் பதவிகள் இருக்கிறது. ஆனால், அந்த பதவியின் பயனாக நாலுபேருக்கு நீ நல்லது செய்யவில்லை. அதனால் தான் இந்த வேண்டாத கஷ்டமெல்லாம் உனக்கு வந்துவிட்டது. பணத்தோடு மனுஷனுக்கு குணமும் மிக அவசியம். உங்கிட்ட இருக்கும் பணத்துக்கு நீ டிரஸ்டி மட்டும் தான். சொந்தக்காரன் இல்லை என்பதை புரிந்து கொள்,” என்று அவரது மனதில் பதியும்படி எடுத்துச் சொன்னார்.
அந்த ஆடிட்டர், தான் நடத்தி வந்த வாழ்க்கை முறையை எண்ணி வருந்தியதோடு இனிமேல் தந்தையைப் போல தானதர்மங்களை செய்து வாழ்வது என்ற முடிவுடன் அங்கிருந்து கிளம்பினார்.
