Guest guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Njanappaana 39 Sathhukkal chennirunnaalaayrdhathil Swalpamaathram kodaa chila dushtanmaar When sajjanaas approach for financial help, some cruel (and unkind) people do not part with even a small portion of their income. Shri Nambishan gives a beautiful definition for sajjana or satthukkal: : " theerthee thurvanthi theertthaani swaanthasthena gadaabrutha " meaning " sajjanaas make the theertthams pure by the Chaithanyam or brilliance of the Bhagavaan residing in their heart " . Sajjanaas or Satthukkal approach for financial help only for the good of the world and not for themselves. But some wealthy and unkind people forget about the importance of offering help to deserving or needy people. " Paathradaanam " or giving to deserving people is considered to be a punyakarma. But these greedy people do not know that sajjanaas will help them distribute their God given fortune to deserving people or help them utilise their wealth for good purposes. Instead of pleasing these well wishers of the world, they treat them with disrespect. Real sajjanaas do not even get upset with the strange behaviour of these ignorant people. " dukkheshu anudhvigna manaa: sukheshu vigathaspruha: veetharaaga bhaya krodha: stithadhee: mniruchyathe " meaning " He whose mind is not perturbed in pain , who has no longing for pleasures , who is free from desire , fear and anger--he is called a sage of firm wisdom " . Sajjanaas exemplify this statement and never get annoyed by their arrogance, instead they pray for them. We may belong to any one of the above groups of people or we may have many of the negative qualities of different groups of people Poonthaanam described. But Poonthaanam consoles us and tells us how we can slowly get rid of the negative qualities of our impure mind and purify them. He says that Naamasnakeerhtnam washes away all the impurities and helps to set our priority to serve Bhagavaan and His devotees. Let us chant Bhagavaan's divine names along with Shri Poonthaanam and millions of devotees around the world. Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana! Krishna! Govinda! Naaraayana! Hare! Achyuthaananda! Govinda! Maadhava! Sachidaananda! Naaraayana! Hare! Samasthaaparadham Kshamaswa Sreekrishnaarpanamasthu Regards and prayers Savitri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
