Message For the Day… ” Understand The Meaning of Sanskrit Term ‘ Ekoham Bahushyam’ …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Clay is one substance, but from it, several products of different shapes and names can be made. The same white milk is obtained from cows of different colours living in different countries. Similarly God is One, but dwells in innumerable bodies with different names and forms. Take the example of gold. From the same metal, a variety of different types of ornaments can be made. If you examine the cosmic scene, you will find that out of the same basic substance a variety of objects with different forms are produced. Out of a single seed comes a tree with different branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. Branches, leaves, flowers and fruits are unique and distinct, vary in form, name and use; but all of them have come from the one same seed, their source. This is the meaning of the Sanskrit term, “Ekoham Bahushyam” implying “The One, who chose to become Many.”

Message For the Day…” Lack of Faith is the Source Of Weakness…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Prema (Love) is the seed, thanmayathwam or overpowering experience of merging, is the tree and inexhaustible bliss is the fruit. For this consummation, faith is essential. Look at Arjuna! When the choice was placed before him to decide which he should receive, the army of redoubtable heroes belonging to the Yadava clan or Krishna alone who is unarmed and refusing to fight, he asked only for Krishna! He knew; he believed; and he was saved. The same choice all have to make even now, when the Lord has appeared in His swaruupa (form) here. What does it profit if one accumulates money, gold and grain? The bliss, derived from the worship of the name and form which arouses spiritual joy, is far more desirable than these. Want of faith is the source of weakness in all fields.

Message For the Day…” Remember that You are Who You are because Someone Helped You In the Past…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

A person with gratitude is meritorious and an ungrateful person is a sinner. Throughout your life, never forget even a small help that someone has rendered to you. Remember that you are who you are because someone helped you in the past. The wordParopakara (helping others) is a combination of three terms –Para + Upa + Kara. Para = Atma; Upa = Near and Kara = action. The objective of your meritorious deeds must be to progress nearer to God. The same Divine (Atma) is present in you and everyone. Do not perform noble deeds with the feeling that you are doing charity. Real Paropakara is to act with faith and do meritorious acts to serve the Divine in others, without entertaining feelings of division and difference. Understand clearly that physically harming or injuring others is not the only sin, but seeing others as different from the Divine within you is also sin. You may be different individuals in bodies, but the Lord within is One.

Message For the Day…” Selfishness Will End in Ruin …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Duryodhana symbolises one who has wicked thoughts. His minister was Dushasana. Dushasana represents one who promulgates bad laws. The combination of these two led to the growth of greed. On account of unrestricted growth of greed (lobha), Kauravas were totally destroyed. On another occasion Lord Krishna said, Arjuna means a person whose heart is pure and immaculate. Lord Krishna clarified to Arjuna in the battlefield, “Destiny is all powerful. Justice always wins. Selfishness will end in ruin. This is the law of the Universe (Yuga Dharma). He further explained to Arjuna that greed of Kauravas will cause them ruin.” Kauravas were not prepared to give their rightful share to the Pandavas. They wanted to keep everything to themselves, including what belongs to others. This selfishness is called greed

Message For the Day…” Have a Mealof Good Acts of Services, Divine Thoughts…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Just as every day you engage in exercise and consume tonics, calculating the intake of calories and vitamins, and paying meticulous attention to the nutritional value of the food, pay attention also to the intake of impressions into the mind – whether they debilitate or strengthen, whether they add to the power of resistance of the mind against the viruses of greed, envy, hatred, pride, malice, etc. Have a meal of good acts of service, divine thoughts, and drink the premarasa (juice of Love), so that they may be washed down, and digested well. Then you can be shining in mental health, happiness and wholesomeness.

Message For the Day…” Live as Embodiment of Love and like Brothers and Sisters…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

All are God’s children. Hence all of you should live as embodiments of Love and like brothers and sisters, loving and serving. People keep a distance as long as they do not understand the power of love. Once they understand and experience love, they will become one. You will be able to realise this truth sooner or later. When a plant bears flowers, not all the flowers blossom at the same time. Some are in the process of blossoming, some are fully blossomed, yet others will be only in the bud stage. Only the fully bloomed flower spreads its fragrance. Similarly people will also be in different stages of evolution – some are like the bud; some are at a blossoming stage; and some others are like the fully bloomed flower, spreading their fragrance. Wait patiently till the stage of fragrance arrives.

Message For The Day…” Truth and Righteousness Bring Peace …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Those who struggle to uphold Truth are the real devotees. The essence of all scriptures (Vedas) lies in establishing this truth. Unfortunately, today people who recognize such an eternal truth are not to be found anywhere. You must never forsake Truth. When truth (Sathya) and righteousness (dharma) come together, there will be peace (Shanthi) and Love (Prema). In fact, Truth (Sathya) is the basis for all other human values, namely, Righteousness, Peace, Love, and Non-Violence (Dharma, Shanthi, Prema, and Ahimsa). Love (Prema) does not descend from outside. It emerges only from within, from the hearts of people. No human being can live without love. True and real life is one that is suffused with love. All virtues merge IN LOVE. Where there is love, there will be unity that permeates all barriers. Where there is love, people regardless of caste, culture, and country will unite naturally.

Message For the Day…” Let the Actions Performed by People be Sacred…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

People experience pleasure and pain, sorrow and difficulties in this world. When they experience pleasure, they say it is due to their deservedness (prapti). When they undergo difficulties, they attribute it to their destiny. Really speaking, both pleasure and pain are the result of one’s own actions (karma). As are the feelings that drive action, so is the result (Yad bhavam tad bhavati). Every human being in this world has to perform some kind of karma. Hence let the actions (karma) performed by people be sacred. The celebration of Dasara is meant to purify the actions performed by the five senses of action and the five senses of perception (dasendriyas). Devi, who is the personification of energy, is the driving force behind all actions. Hence everyone must worship the Trinity of Durga (goddess of energy), Lakshmi (goddess of all kinds of wealth), and Saraswathi (goddess of education and intellect) during this festival of Dasara.

“ஆயிரம் கன்றுக்குட்டிகள் நடுவில் ஒரு தாய்ப்பசு

தன் கன்றை அடையாளம் கண்டுகொள்ளாதா, என்ன?

Featured Image -- 11217

(வலையில் படித்தது)

ஒரு வைதிகர், எளிய வாழ்க்கை, போதுமென்ற

மனமே பொன் செய்யும் மருந்து.

கோயில் திருப்பணிகளில் மிகவும் ஆர்வம்.

தன் கிராமத்திலுள்ள பிள்ளையார் கோயில்,

மாரியம்மன் கோயில்,சிவன் கோயில்

எல்லாவற்றுக்கும் அரும்பாடுபட்டுத்

திருப்பணிகள் செய்தார்.

பெரிய தொகை நன்கொடை கொடுப்பவர்கள் கூட

அவரிடமிருந்து ரசீது எதிர்பார்க்கமாட்டார்கள்.

அவ்வளவு சுத்தம். அவருடைய சேவையை அண்டை

கிராமத்தார்களும் பயன்படுத்திக் கொண்டார்கள்.

ஒரு வயற்காட்டில் ஒரு பெரிய சிவலிங்கம்

தன்னந்தனியாக வெயிலில் காய்ந்து, குளிரில்

நடுங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்தார். இந்த வைதிகர்

முயற்சியால் இப்போது அவர் (சிவலிங்கம்)

மழை-காற்றுக்கு அஞ்சாமல்,கருவறையில்

கோயில் கொண்டுள்ளார்.

இப்படி எத்தனையோ கோயில்கள்.

ஆனால்,வைதிகர் எந்தக் கும்பாபிஷேகத்திலும்

தன்னை முன்னிலைப்படுத்திக் கொண்டதில்லை.

கூட்டத்தில் ஒரு மூலையில் ஒண்டிக்கொண்டு நிற்பார்!

தம்பட்டமே இல்லாத இவரைப் பற்றிப்

பெரியவாளுக்கு தெரிந்திருந்தது.

‘எப்படி?’ என்றெல்லாம் கேட்கக்கூடாது.

அது சிவரகசியம்!

அந்த வைதிகர் அடிக்கடி ஸ்ரீமடத்துக்கு வருபவர் அல்லர்.

அவருக்கு ஓய்வு கிடைத்தால்தானே வெளியே போவதற்கு!

அவர் வழி அப்பர் வழி, ஆமாம். Upper வழி.

உழவாரப் பணி, கோபுரங்களில் வேலை,நாலைந்து

பையன்களை உடன் வைத்துக்கொண்டு

சந்தடி இல்லாமல் சிவத்தொண்டு செய்வார்.

ஒருதடவை பெரியவாள் தரிசனத்துக்கு வந்தார்.

பெரியவாளை வந்தனம் செய்துவிட்டு ஓரமாக

நின்றார். வழக்கமான ஊர்-பேர் விசாரணைகூடச்

செய்யவில்லை பெரியவாள்.

அந்தச் சமயத்தில் பரம பக்தர்களான பணக்காரத்

தம்பதிகள் வந்து வந்தனம் செய்துவிட்டு எழுந்தார்கள்.

பெரியவாள், தொண்டருக்கு என்ன குறிப்பு

கொடுத்தாரோ, தெரியாது.விலையுயர்ந்த

ஒரு சால்வையைக் கொண்டுவந்து தட்டில்

வைத்தார் ஓர் அணுக்கத் தொண்டர்.பெரியவாள்,

அந்தப் பணக்காரப் பக்தரை அழைத்து, அந்தச்

சால்வையை, வைதிக பக்தருக்குப் போர்த்தச்

சொன்னார்கள்.

எல்லோருக்குமே வியப்பாக இருந்தது.

இந்த வைதிகர் என்ன, அவ்வளவு பெரிய

பண்டிதரா? யாகம் செய்தவரா..?

பெரியவா பணக்காரரிடம் சொன்னார்கள்.

“இவரைப் பார்த்திருக்கிறாயோ?”

“இல்லை”

“இவர் அட்ரஸ் தெரியுமோ?”

“தெரியாது”

“எனக்குத் தெரியும்! சொல்லட்டுமா?”

(என்ன குறும்பு!)

“சாஸ்திரிகள் கேர் ஆஃப் சிவன் கோயில்!

இவர் பெரிய Builder.என்ன? பல சிவன்களுக்கு

வீடு கட்டிக் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார்…!”

பக்தர்கள் கூட்டம் நெகிழ்ந்து உருகியது.

ஒரு பத்திரிகையில்கூட இவர் புகைப்படத்தைப்

பார்த்ததில்லையே…

“இவர் சிவப்பழம்…பிரசாதத்தோட நெறய்ய

பழங்கள் கொடு…”

அறிமுகமே இல்லாத இவர், தூய சிவப்பணியாளர்

என்பது பெரியவாளுக்கு எப்படித் தெரிந்தது?.

அது எந்தவகை ஸித்தி?

ஆயிரம் கன்றுக்குட்டிகள் நடுவில் ஒரு தாய்ப்பசு

தன் கன்றை அடையாளம் கண்டுகொள்ளாதா, என்ன?

Message For the Day…” See Yourself as Your Self Unrelated To Others or Objects…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Arjuna entered the battlefield, fully equipped and fanatically determined to destroy his enemies. But when he took his position in the battlefield, he saw ‘my teachers’, ‘my grandfather’, ‘my kinsmen’, ‘my cousins’, etc. and he was moved so much by this sense of ‘I’ and ‘mine’ that he discarded the bow and desired to return to the forest and beg for the rest of his life, than fight the war. The ‘I’ that has really nothing to do with earthly possessions, blinded him. Lord Krishna taught Bhagavad Gita and removed this delusion (moha). The lesson for you is “Be unmoved by duality”. Let not defeat or success affect your inner calm and inner joy. See yourself as your Self unrelated to others or the objective world. When you know your real Self, you are liberated! That is Moksha. Liberation (Moksha) is not a five-star HOTEL or a deluxe resort. It is just the awareness of your reality and the rejection of all contrary conceptions.
