விபூதி உருவான கதை !!!

ஸ்ரீமகாலஷ்மிக்கு உகந்தது திருநீறு

 

பர்னாதன் என்பவன் உணவையும் தண்ணீரையும் மறந்தவனாக சிவனை நினைத்து கடும் தவம் புரிந்தான்.ஒருநாள் அவனுக்கு கடுமையான பசி எடுத்தது. தவம் கலைந்தது. கண்ணை திறந்தான். அப்போது அவனை சுற்றி சிங்கங்களும் புலிகளும் பறவைகளும் என பல வன உயிரினங்கள் யாவும் காவலுக்கு இருந்தது. பசியால் முகம் வாடி இருந்தவனை கண்ட பறவைகள் பழங்களை பறித்து பர்னாதன் முன் வைத்தது.

இது ஈனின் கருனையே என்று மகிழ்ந்து பசி தீர கனிகளை சாப்பிட்டு முடித்து மீண்டும் தவத்தை தொடர்ந்தான். இப்படியே பல வருடங்கள் கடந்தோடியது. தவத்தை முடித்து கொண்டு சிவவழிபாட்டை தொடங்கினான். ஒருநாள் தர்பைபுல்லை அறுக்கும் போது அவன் கையில் கத்திபட்டு ரத்தம் கொட்டியது.

ஆனால் அவனுக்கோ எந்த பதற்றமும் இல்லை. குழந்தைக்கு ஆபத்தென்றால் தாய் பதறுவதை போல பதறியது ஈசன்தான்.

சிவபெருமான் வேடன் உருவில் தோன்றி, பர்னாதன் கையை பிடித்து பார்த்தார். என்ன ஆச்சரியம்…. ரத்தம் சொட்டிய இடத்தில் விபூதி கொட்ட ஆரம்பித்தது. வந்தது தாயுமானவர் என்பதை அறிந்தான். “ரத்தத்தை நிறுத்தி சாம்பலை கொட்ட செய்த தாங்கள் நான் வணங்கம் சர்வேஸ்வரன் என்பதை அறிவேன். இந்த அடியேனுக்கு தங்கள் சுயஉருவத்தை காணும் பாக்கியம் இல்லையா?“ என்று வேண்டினான் பர்னாதன். ஈசன் தன் சுயரூபத்தில் காட்சி கொடுத்தார்.

 

“உனக்காகவே இந்த சாம்பலை உருவாக்கினேன். அதனால் இந்த சாம்பல் இன்று முதல் விபூதி என்று அழைக்கப்படட்டும். உன் நல்தவத்தால் விபூதி உருவானது. அக்னியை எதுவும் நெருங்க முடியாததை போல விபூதியை பூசி அணிந்து கொள்பவர்களின் அருகில் துஷ்டசக்திகள் நெருங்காது. விபூதி என் ரூபம். அதற்கு நீயும் துணையாக இருந்த வா“ என்று ஆசி வழங்கினார் சிவபெருமான்.

விபூதியை கட்டை விரலாலும் மோதிர விரலாலும் சேர்த்தெடுத்து மோதிர விரலால் நெற்றியில் இட்டுக்கொள்ள வேண்டும். ஆனால் கட்டை விரலும் நடுவிரலும் சேர்ந்து விபூதியை எடுக்கக்கூடாது. கட்டைவிரலாலும் நெற்றியில் விபூதியை வைக்க கூடாது என்கிறது சிவபுராணம்.

விபூதியால் என்ன நன்மை? என்று ஸ்ரீ ராமர், அகத்திய முனிவரிடம் கேட்டார். “பகை, தீராத வியாதி, மனநல பாதிப்பு, செய்வினை பாதிப்பு இப்படி எது இருந்தாலும் தொடர்ந்து விபூதியை அணிந்து வந்தால் அந்த பிரச்சனைகள் விலகும்“ என்று அகத்திய முனிவர் ஸ்ரீ ராமருக்கு உபதேசம் செய்தார். ஸ்ரீமகாலஷ்மிக்கு உகந்ததும் விபூதி. அதனை விரும்பி விபூதி கலந்த நீரில் தினமும் அவள் நீராடுகிறாள். திரு என்றால் மகாலஷ்மி. அதனால்தான் விபூதியை திருநீறு என அழைக்கிறோம்.

“மந்திரம் ஆவது நீறு வானவர் மேலது நீறு
சுந்தரம் ஆவது நீறு துதிக்கப் படுவது நீறு
……….
வேதத்தில் உள்ளது நீறு வெந்துயர் தீர்ப்பது நீறு
காண இனியது நீறு கவினைத் தருவது நீறு
தேசம் புகழ்வது நீறு திரு ஆலவாயான் திருநீறே“

Message For The Day…Do Not Postpone Learning Lessons of Silence and Prayer…

Once a miser lived in a leaky house. Rain water poured through the roof, into his house and he sat through it all night. Neighbours, seeing his plight, suggested he get the roof repaired. The miser remarked, “Let the rains subside, how can I repair it now?” And when the rains stopped, he replied, “Why should I worry about the leaks, now that the rains have stopped?” Do not take this approach. Instead of choosing to suffer when the rains come, as they are sure to do, wouldn’t it be wise to repair the roof right now? This example conveys the importance you must give to acquainting yourself with spiritual primers and textbooks without postponing this by even a moment. Begin right now, the first lessons of silence, prayer and repeating the Name of the Lord. It is never too soon to start the spiritual journey.

” You are the Light of My Life ” ….

May Sai  show us the light in the darkness that we have chosen to live in…- The darkness led by our own ego, our anger ,our hatred, our jealousy, our greed and above all our tendency to throw  Love , Peace , Faith , Patience and Hope out of our life.

Message For The Day….When You Deserve To Become a Leader …

 Sathya Sai Baba

Be eager and earnest to learn more and more about the art of joyful living, the art of being happy always. People are happy when they dress well, wear rich clothes and strut about the streets. At times, this may cause envy among the little children who cannot afford these, and one may even feel elated with that response! But you can afford to be legitimately proud, only when you are able to control the vagaries of your mind and direct your emotions along honourable and healthy channels, braving even the ridicule of your so-called friends. That is true freedom; that is true success. If you reach that stage, then you become a seasoned driver and you can be trusted with the wheel on any road, and with any cargo, however precious. Now you are trained to not cause harm, either to yourself or to others. This stage is when you truly deserve to become a leader.

 

Divine Images Of Shirdi Sai….with HIS Message ….

One day Gautam Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. “You have no right teaching others,”
he shouted. “You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake.” Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man
“Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom
does the gift belong?”
The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered,
“It would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”
The Buddha smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger
falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”
If you are right then there is no need to get angry
And if you are wrong then you don’t have any right to get angry.

Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence, and Patience with GOD is faith.
Never Think Hard about PAST, It brings Tears…
Don’t Think more about FUTURE, It brings Fears…
Live this Moment with a Smile, It brings Cheers….(smile)

 

 

The body is the chariot and the Self is its Master, Intellect is the Charioteer and the mind is the reins, the sense are the horses and sense objects their paths. He who has no understanding and whose mind is unrestrained, his senses unmanageable like the vicious horse of the charioteer, does not reach his destination (get realisation) but goes through the round of births and deaths; but he who has understanding and whose mind is restrained, his senses being under control like the good horse of a charioteer reaches that place, (i.e.) the state of self-realization.

Message For The Day…Prayer and Meditation will Purify your Intellect…

The body is the instrument for doing your duties (Karma) and your intellect (Buddhi) is shaped by your Karma. Prayer and meditation will purify your intellect and make it an effective instrument to win the Lord’s Grace and for self-realization. The warmth of Divine Grace will melt all ignorance away. You can win it by engaging yourself in good deeds. Do your duties that you are best fitted for; that which you are ordained for, your Swadharma. God incarnates for teaching people to perform theirdharma (duty). He corrects the Buddhi through counsel and command; at times condemning but also by being a close friend and well-wisher, so that people would willingly give up evil propensities and recognize the straight path. Tread the noble path and attain self-realization.

Message For The Day…”Struggle …and You Get The Strength to Succeed”…

Everyone is now seeking comfort and pleasure; it is considered the be-all and end-all. If you tell someone that he or she can eat whatever they like and as much as they like, they will be delighted. If you add that they may develop, as a natural consequence, illnesses and describe the suffering associated with it, you will immediately become their enemy! No regimen or control is ever popular. However, know that strength is derived only from control, only from restraint and regulation. One becomes tough and capable of endurance only if hardships are welcomed. Struggle, and you get the strength to succeed. Seek the basis for the seen in the unseen. The tall skyscraper has a deep base buried deep into the earth.

 4th Day of DIWALI
“NEW YEAR ”
The Fourth day is called Padwa or VarshaPratipada that marks the coronation of King Vikramaditya and Vikaram-Samvat was started from this Padwa day.
The day after the Lakshmi Puja, most families celebrate the new year by dressing in new clothes, wearing jewellery and visiting family members and business colleagues to give them sweets, dry fruits and gifts.
On this day, Goverdhan Pooja is performed. As per Vishnu-Puran, the people of Gokul used to celebrate a festival in honour of Lord Indra and worshipped him after the end of every monsoon season. But one particular year the young Krishna stopped them from offering prayers to Lord Indra who in terrific anger sent a deluge to submerge Gokul. But Krishna saved his Gokul by lifting up the Govardhan Mountain and holding it over the people as an umbrella.
This day is also observed as Annakoot and prayers are offered in the temples. In temples especially in Mathura and Nathadwara, the deities are given milkbath, dressed in shining attires with ornaments of dazzling diamonds, pearls, rubies and other precious stones.

Message For The Day…A Person is Judged From Integrity Angle …

A person or an institution is to be judged according to their integrity, whether their acts are according to the principles professed. The mind, the body, and the word – all three must work in unison. When work (Karma) is thus disciplined and regulated, automatically your senses will become sublimated and you will attain everlasting Prasanthi (inner peace). From this will arise Prakanti (the great light), and from that will emerge Param Jyoti (Supreme Illumination). That Illumination will reveal the Paramatma (Divinity) present within you! You must achieve that success by following the path laid out for you – conquer anger and desire, achieve love through the practice of incessant meditation (Japa-Dhyana), which will lead to the blossoming of the lotus of the heart and the emergence of Divinity from within you!

Message For The Day…God is the Moving Force in Everyone…

The unmistakable sign of rain is the wetness of the ground. So too, the sign of an educated person, who has had several years of schooling is good manners. Such a person will be humble knowing that the field of knowledge is so vast that even after years of learning one has hardly touched its fringe. They must also be aware of their kinship with all beings and must show a keenness to serve others gladly, at all times, without any desire for publicity. The educated children must move with everyone in a friendly manner, without inhibitions, knowing that God is the moving force in everyone. God is behind all good impulses and useful attitudes. All of you are separate beads, strung together on one common thread, which is God.
