Message For This Day… Sri Rama Navami…Significance of the Name RAMA…

NatarajanLeave a comment

Rama’s name is a life-giving essence with esoteric significance. It consists of three syllables: Ra + Aa + Ma. The combination of the three letters constitute the name ‘Rama’. Ra representing Agni (the Fire God), burns away all sins; Aa representing Surya (the Sun God), dispels the darkness of ignorance; and Ma representing Chandra (the Moon God), cools one’s temper and produces tranquility. The name Rama has the triple power of washing away one’s sins, removing one’s ignorance, and tranquilizing one’s mind. How can this profound meaning of the name Rama be imparted to mankind? This can be done only by the Divine coming in human form and demonstrating to mankind the power of the Divine. Rama was one who, while appearing to lead the life of an ordinary man, led the Life Divine. He demonstrated the ideal life of a spiritually realised person.

Message For The Day…Be Like Rama in Your Individual Conduct…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

 

The profound message the divine epic Ramayana gives is: One must lead the life of a human being, and one must seek oneness with the Divine. In every human being, all the three natures – human, divine, and demonic – are present. But most people today ignore their humanness and Divinity, and foster only their demonic nature. In fact, one should strive to manifest the Divinity, and not display one’s weakness or unpleasant qualities. In every act, Rama set the example, be it in individual conduct, in the discharge of duties to the family, or in fulfilling the obligations to society. Rama demonstrated the ideals to be followed. All should begin with fulfilling their individual obligations. The duty of the individual is to manifest the Divinity within. As an individual, Rama revealed the Divinity in Him through His ideal conduct.

Message For the Day…” Think Before Act…Discriminate Between Good and Bad…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

 

Every action carries with it an equal reaction. Every action is a seed, and these seeds grow into trees, so always undertake only sacred actions. Sometimes, we undertake actions with full enthusiasm and joy. When we end up suffering from the action’s consequences, we shed tears and lament. Hence, before you start doing anything, you must first think; discriminate between good and bad action, and conduct yourselves accordingly. You must also give importance to the appropriateness of the speech that flows through the action. Never do anything that will cause others trouble. It may appear impossible to go on with your duties without the feeling of body consciousness and attachment. But by constantly thinking of God, you must reduce these feelings. Then there will be no misery; pain and pleasure will not bother you.

Message For the Day…” Never Be in Bad Company of Persons… “

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

You may go through sacred texts, offer all sorts of prayers to all Gods and perhaps be in a thick forest or in the safest place, but you cannot run away from your destiny. Just like you may immerse a container in a small lake or a large ocean, but you cannot collect more water than what the container can hold. Without the strength of righteousness, physical and intellectual strength are of no avail. Examine for yourself – what happened to the mighty Karna (in the epic Mahabharata)? Though he had the intellect and physical valour, he joined the bad company of Duryodhana, Dushasana and Shakuni, and therefore came to be known as the fourth wicked person. So never be in bad company who will lead you to entertain bad thoughts and indulge in inappropriate actions. To earn the special grace of God, you must be in good company and do good deeds. Then God will make your container bigger to harvest His Grace!

Message For The Day…” Nothing Can be Achieved without Faith in Divinity …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

Due to the force of gravity objects fall. The gravitational force is invisible to our eyes. Similarly, there are innumerable divine forces operating in this Universe. You must not deny them just because you cannot see them. Only the power of the Divine enables you to speak, see, move and think. All the power of the sense organs are derived from the Divine. In conceit, you may imagine that you are the doer. This is the result of ignorance and folly. Ask the question, what is responsible for existence? The answer is Divinity. Without faith in the Divine, nothing can be achieved. There is no need to seek a reason for this faith – Faith has no season or reason, it is like the love of a child for the mother. The child loves its mother for the sole reason that she is its mother. Develop such confidence and firm faith, you can realize God.

Message For the Day…” One May Offer a Leaf, a Flower , Fruit or Even Just Water to God …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

When Krishna was placed in the weighing scale, Rukmini brought one Tulasi leaf and said, “One may offer a leaf, a flower, fruit, or even just water to God. I offer this Tulasi leaf to You. If it is true that you rescue the person devoted to You, I pray, let this leaf of Tulasibalance Your weight.” The sanctity of sacred thoughts and acts are not understood by many. Rukmini’s offering was filled with devout feeling, so it equaled the weight of Lord Krishna, who is the very Lord of the Universe. Rukmini accomplished this feat through her selfless devotion. What is the significance in the offering of a leaf? Body (deha) is a leaf (patram) with three attributes of Satva, Rajas andTamas. Heart (Hrudaya) is a flower (pushpam). The flower of the heart is pure and sacred. From this flower comes the fruit, mind with its sweet juice. You must offer this to God.

Message For the Day… ” What is the Real Education …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

After birth, as one grows, one develops association with relatives, friends, teachers and others. Through these numerous relationships, one’s human qualities develop and blossom. You must show your gratitude to all by striving for their well-being. Without these associations, the lone individual would remain at an animal level. If you confine your interests to a few subjects, it will result in narrow-mindedness. You must not be restrictive in acquiring skills that help you earn a livelihood. In fact, you must learn about life itself, how it should be lived and the basic goal of life. Learning how to earn an income is not a great thing; all the evils that we see in the world today stem from a perverted system of education. An educated person must control one’s senses. Education that helps one discover one’s spiritual essence is real education. Learn how to live as a worthy human being.

May Shri Shirdi Sainath give us the strength to realize that Our heart is on the left side but still ,-it is always right !   

 

May Shri Sadguru Sainath bless us to be true to our heart and our soul. May we always remember that it is better to be slapped by the truth then to be hugged by an illusion. May He shower his kind grace on us so that we do not end up hurting ourselves and others by our own Karma..

Message For The Day…” God is Very Kind in Showering Infinite Grace on You … ”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

In this world, to receive one thing, you need to give up another. When you want a simple handkerchief, you need to pay rupees ten, only then will the shopkeeper sell it to you. God is a very kind merchant. If you offer even a small amount of devotion, the Merciful Lord will, in return, shower infinite amount of Grace on you. The poor devotee, Kuchela offered a handful of beaten rice to Lord Krishna and received His blessings in abundance. Queen Draupadi, during a distressful moment, prayed with a pure heart. Because of the little sacrifice she made earlier, Lord Krishna rushed to respond to her call and showered His infinite Grace to protect her. The fruits of action are inevitable and no one can escape them. However you can nullify or modify the consequences to a certain extent, if you become worthy and deserve His Grace.

Message For The Day…” Time is a Witness to What Everyone is doing…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

On a stage, there are a number of lights. One is turned towards an actor in the role of a king. Another is focussed on a beggar. Yet another light is on a man reading the Ramayana. The fourth one lights up a fighting scene. Here, although the lights illumine a variety of scenes, they remain unaffected by the behaviour of the actors; they simply bear witness to the actions but no blame attaches to them for what the actors do. The characters alone are affected by what they do. Similarly Time is a witness to what everyone is doing. This Time is available equally to all. Your primary duty is to make right use of this Time. For this purpose, there is no need for you to wait for the beginning of a new year. Every moment is a manifestation of Time. The second is the basis for the year. Hence every second should be filled with purposeful action.
