Prayer

[Guest guest]

Sunil: thanks for your personal reply with regard to my query and this

proves that I cannot survive without you like the moon and Sun. I

learned something new. I am following your direction and do the same so

that my earlier posting will re-appear the way I wanted to. Thanks for

your help. Wishing you all the best and do better for our group.

 

My respected members of this group : Please forgive me in my attempt to

post the following once again as the original did not appear the way I

wanted.

Vinod: Thanks for the update of our Sunil's trip to BLR and I am

sureLord Guruvayoorappan will bless him to achieve what is the best for

ourgroup

 

Vimala: I am praying for your mother's speedy recovery. I am sending a

personal mail to you separately in a day or two.

 

I saw the nice presentation of Chithambaram by Vinod, Indu, Naushad and

Gaurishankar. I am in the dark how Chith-Ambaram, -that is how it is

written in Tamil- became Chidambaram or Chidhambaram. May be the

influence of English. I was lucky and fortunate to visit the temple

wayback in 1946 when I was a 9yr school student with my parents and

remember the temple and its surroundings faintly. 60 years later, across

the 7 seas, though retired I am still learning. The only difference is

that I am not confined to a class-room of a particular school or any

University. I learn from this forum also.

 

I liked the presentation by Sunita about Ayurvedha, food and eating

habits. Like the food being classified into 4 groups, is it not true

that all form of life - humanbeings included- in this planet fall in the

same class? Perhaps that is why food for one is poison for another. Even

the good food that is taken too much and too fast causes problem. Hence

 

Adhikam Aayal Amruthum Visham

 

We have to exercise control not only in eating but in all fields. Even

in raising a kid. It is like flying a kite. When in control the kite fly

high in the sky, of course light wind is needed, so also a kid needs

control as s/he grows up. For better control, only one kite at a time.

 

Beware of Nuclear power.

 

Valmiki the great Sage created Ramayanam. I do not believe that he was a

hunter. I feel it was contorted by someone later that even a hunter can

be as good as Valmiki if he utters Rama Rama..

 

Sage Vyasa had outdone Valmiki. He gets help from Lord Ganapathy in

writing Maha Bharatham, makes Lord Krishna a charioteer, gave us the

famous Geetha advice in Lord Krishnas words to Arjuna. He even connects

Krishna to Rama, the hunter to Bali, the arrow head metal piece to the

iron rod delivered by a boy after a curse, that saw the destruction of

the entire Yadhavas. HE IS GREAT. The iron rod can be compared to modern

rockets and missiles that we are not happy at all. Similarly Nuclear

power may be cheap but wise men know that the nuclear waste will be the

curse of the future generation.

 

Sun - A God

 

I do Surya Namaskaram but not all the 10 steps as narrated by

Krishnanajuan. I do only the first two steps of raising my hands over my

head inhaling as I do that, hold breath a second or two, and bend slowly

exhaling and touch my own feet.I repeat it 3times daily. When we say

Namaskaram, we mean padham thottu namaskarikkuka. While I touch my own

feet I think of my own parents who gave me this life of mine, and all

great people who contributed their time in my favor. The benefits are

two fold. First Surya Namaskaram and the second I am relived of

occasional back ache that I get with either by my sitting posture or

sleeping habit. More over, I consider Sun as a God -after my own

parents- whom I can see and feel. He keeps me company on an average 12

hours per day. Sun, like Father, gives light, heat and energy to mother

Earth, who delivers everything that is needed to sustain our life.

Equally important to life are the other three basic elements Air, Fire

and Water. Fire occupies the top place as we do everything with a light.

Agni Sakshi aayi. Sun, to me is the greatest fire of this universe. We

all know that controlled fire gives light, heat and energy for our

comfort but when it is out of Control, causes destruction. Only one

thing need no control at all. Praying. Praying Lord Guruvayoorappan the

Great creator of the entire Universe, including Sun, Air, Fire Earth and

Water. We can pray anytime. Let us do that.

 

It is appropriate to quote the famous words of Mahathma Ghandhi.

 

We all have a job which may be insignificant, but what is significant is

do it,

 

to that I add do it right.
