Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 This is a real life story of Mr. Venkat. He was working as a Commerce lecturer in a small town in coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. He is a hard worker and a self made man. With his hard earnings he acquired a small piece of land. He wanted to construct a small dream house in his land. He purchased Mild steel rods worth 2 Lakhs and kept in one corner of the land. His relative came there and cautioned him that the steel rods were kept in North East corner and it was very bad as per Vastu. So Mr. Venkat immediately hired people and moved the rods to the open side of the plot as per Vastu. Next morning when he came to the plot, tears rolled down cheeks. All rods were shoplifted stealthily by somebody. Adyastameethi navameethi chaturdaseethi Jyothishya Vachopavasanthi Bakthya Sruthestavaho tatvamaseethi vakyam Na Viswasantyadbuthamethadeva. – Mahavakya Dharpanam by Sri Sankaraacharya People simply follow astrologer's words, believe in Astami, Navami and Chaturdasi etc., they pray God and observe fasting in select Thithis. But they are unable to perceive God in their own self as per the Vedic dictum. We are giving too much of importance to Vastu, Thithis and other such rituals. We are basically forgetting the truth that God is within us. Once we realise this. All other things are petty and not worth considering.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 dear vishnuji, i read the nice message. personally i also do believe that god is within us and is always there to help us provided you have the belief. simply going to temples and doing pujas may not help. best thing is to do whateve we can to the society and never think of evil. all the days were created by god only and as such nothing can be bad. it depends on how one thinks. thank you - dr.murty " andra murthy " <murthy_surya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Dear Brother Vishnu Garu and other Fellow-Travellers in the Group, Love and Love alone.... Of all the stories that you have posted so far, let me confess, this one has appealed to me the most. It does not mean that I did not like the others, but it is an outstanding piece, an eye-opener and an awakening call, to most of us, who have a wavering approach in their approach. At least now, we should see how we are, what we are and where we are heading? I have seen, with pain and anguish, demolishing big buildings indiscriminately as they were not constructed according to Vasthu Sastra. When there are millions and millions of people in the society dying due to starvation, lack of medical facilities, shelter, etc., a few of us are induliging in these luxuries. Sad. One may argue, are we not giving emplyment to a few by demolishing and rebuilding according to Vastu. True, but think of those millions who do not have anything at all. Dont' we feel pained to see little children almost naked begging at temples, railway stations, bus-stops, intersections of traffic lights, etc., or don't we see our parents in those old people who, at the age of 70 or 80, begging for a few rupees to fill their stomach? I am sorry, I do not mean to denounce Vastu or other thithi, nakshatras, etc. It is undoubtedly a great science, but how many of us are really adept in that? We go blindly after them, thinking that some untoward may happen to us if we do not follow. The biggest enemy of humanity is fear and especailly fear of God. God is Love. Love HIM for the sake of Love only. Who created these thithis, nakshatras, grahas, etc.? Have they not been created by the same Lord, who created us? If so, why we are forgetting the Source and giving more importance to them, His creation?!. If we steadfastly and sincerely surrender to HIM, with Tyaga budhdhi, I am sure, nothing bad will happen to us at any point of time. Even if it happens, let us understand the fact that it is four our own good, it is a lesson to be learnt to outgrow from the present condition. It is to break-open those fetters, which are binding us so far. It is to reach higher levels of consciousness. I am very sure and confident of that. Complete surrender is the only solution for any problem. Problem is not a problem or remain as a problem, unless we give importance or credence or support to it. Problem is there because we give strength to it by attaching ourselves to the problem. Let us realise this truth. The soon we realise, the better for us. Again, it does not mean that, we should not try to our day-to-day family problems. What I mean is that while trying to solve those problems, do not attach yourself to it, do not expect the result as you want to, do it with " Tyaga bhaava " . If it gets solved as you desire, it is HIS kripa or karuna and if not, it is HIS decision, for our good. My only request to all my brothers and sisters is that have complete faith in HIM/HER, surrender to that Source completely, while discharging your dharma and not attaching yourself with the result (i.e., Tyaga), and I am sure, we will reach the Ultimate. I am very confident. What else can I write? Love and Love alone .... P.
