A SUCCESSFUL MAN IS ONE WHO MAKES MORE MONEY THAN HIS PARTNER CAN SPEND.. A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN IS ONE WHO CAN FIND SUCH A PARTNER.....

SHE....GURUJI, SEE THIS PHOTOGRAPH.... I AM GOING TO MARRY HIM...

ME....WOW....WONDERFUL....GOOD SELECTION.....

SHE... IS HE REALLY GOOD GURUJI?.....

ME...YEAH... HE HAS PIERCED HIS EARS AND IS WEARING EAR RINGS.... SO HE IS FULLY PREPARED FOR HIS MARRIAGE....

SHE...WHAT HAS EAR PIERCING TO DO WITH MARRIAGE?

ME...THE SECRET IS SUCH A MAN HAS EXPERIENCED PAIN AND BOUGHT JEWELLERY..................LOL

HE.... I FAILED IN MY EXAMS.....

ME....DONT WORRY... THE ONE WHO FALLS AND GETS UP IS MUCH MORE STRONGER THAN THE ONE WHO NEVER FELL.... PREPARE WELL TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME....

NEVER EVER ARE WE GOING TO BE AT PEACE UNLESS WE FREE OURSELVES FROM THE PRISON OF OUR OWN FALSIFIED THOUGHTS....

BE NORMAL, THE GRACE OF THE PARA NORMAL WILL DAWN ON YOU....

IF YOU AIM AT PARA NORMAL, VERY LIKELY YOU WILL TURN ABNORMAL....

PAST CAN BE DROPPED.....BEFORE THAT DONT TRY TO AVOID IT OR FORGET IT.... ACCEPT IT AND FORGIVE YOURSELF.... THEN DROPPING OF THE PAST IS EASILY POSSIBLE....

LEARN TO SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE AND NOT SEE THINGS AS YOU ARE...

MOST OF THE TIME THE PROBLEMS ARISE BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTATIONS PROJECTED AND THE REALITY ACHIEVED.... ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO EXPECT LESS OR ACCEPT GRACEFULLY THE REALITY SO THAT THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT FELT....

YOU MUST BE IN A STATE OF CONSTANT AWARENESS TO BE NON EXPECTATIONAL.....

HE WAS HAPPILY WATCHING TV....
SUDDENLY A COMMERCIAL AD BREAK...
HE STARTED THINKING ABOUT HIS LOANS, CREDIT CARD PAYMENT, MONTHLY DUE, EMI ETC.,
HE CONTINUED WATCHING TV BUT NOW VERY STRESSFULLY....

INSTEAD OF SURRENDERING AFTER BECOMING HELPLESS, YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO SURRENDER WHEN THINGS ARE ALRIGHT... SURRENDERING AFTER THINGS BECOME HELPLESS OR HOPELESS IS OPPORTUNISTIC....

THE ILLUSION OF POSSESSION AND DOERSHIP ULTIMATELY CAUSES IMMEASURABLE AGONY AND PAIN....

THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO ASKS FOR NO RETURN, THE SUPREME UNSELFISH PERSON, IS ALWAYS CLOSE TO GOD....

THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE TO SUCCESS IS THE FEAR OF FAILURE.

HE DESTROYS ALL THAT IS PERISHABLE.... HE BURNS DOWN THE DARKNESS AND LIGHTS THE WISDOM OF IMPERISHABLE IN US...

HOW LONG CAN YOU AFFORD TO BE IN DEEP SLUMBER OF SEARCHING MATERIAL PURSUITS.... YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP TO THE SPIRITUAL REALITY SOME DAY.... WHY NOT IT BE THIS MOMENT?

YOU ARE THAT PRANAVAATKARA SWAROOPAM.... THE SOUND OF 'AUM' ALWAYS REVERBERATES IN YOU....

LORD IS CALLED 'MARGA BHANDU'..... HE ALWAYS HOLDS YOUR HAND AND TAKES YOU ACROSS THE OCEAN OF SAMSARA... HE ALWAYS TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING.... NOTHING CAN MOVE WITHOUT HIS COMMAND... TIME WILL REFUSE TO MOVE WITHOUT HIS WILL... IT IS ULTIMATELY THE UNQUESTIONABLE FAITH AND FAITH AND FAITH ALONE BESTOWS ALL THE GOODNESS IN YOU TO BE ELEVATED TO BETTER LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL EXISTENCE...NEVER BE DISHEARTENED BY ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS AROUND YOU OR ELSE WHERE... HE AND HE ALONE KNOWS THE BEST AND HE IS BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING AND COMPREHENSION...

                                       

CHANDI ON SIMHAM @ 107TH YAGNAM ON VIJAYA DASAMI DAY (22/10/2015)...

HE CROSSED THE STREET, THEY ASKED HIM HIS CASTE...
HE CROSSED HIS TOWN, THEY ASKED HIM HIS RELIGION AND CITY..
HE CROSSED HIS STATE THEY ASKED HIM HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE...
HE CROSSED HIS COUNTRY AND WHEN THEY ASKED HIM WHO HE IS.... HE PROUDLY ADDRESSED HIMSELF AS INDIAN....
HE CROSSED THIS WORLD AND WHEN ASKED FINALLY CAME THE WORD 'HUMAN'.....

WHENEVER I VISIT SOME ONE, OR RECEIVE AN EMAIL OR RECEIVE A LETTER OR ON WHATSAPP I AM ALWAYS ADDRESSED WITH...

GOOD MORNING..
GOOD AFTER NOON..
GOOD EVENING...
GOOD NIGHT...
SAIRAM...
HARI OM....
HARE KRISHNA....
HAVE A GOOD DAY...
LORD'S WILL, MERCY & GRACE...
ENJOY...

OH HOW NICE IT WOULD BE IF THESE GREETINGS WERE REALLY FROM THE HEART AND NOT FROM THE LIPS?

SHE...GURUJI, WHEN HE WAS IN SERVICE AS A TOP BOSS HE NEVER USE TO CARE FOR ANY ONE.... HE USE TO THROW FILES AT COLLEAGUES, HE USED TO SHOUT AT SUBORDINATES, HE SADISTICALLY ENJOYED AT THE SUFFERING OF HIS JUNIORS.... NOW HE IS RETIRED, WHEN HE COMES TO OFFICE, NO ONE CARES FOR HIM, INFACT MANY INSULT HIM ON THE FACE.......

ME...YEAH ...I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS... HAVE YOU NOT HEARD THAT 'EVEN RABBITS INSULT A DEAD LION'.....

WHY NOT WE LEARN TO WRITE THE INSULTS IN SAND AND THE COMPLIMENTS CARVED IN STONE?

LIARS NEED A STRONG MEMORY.... THOSE WHO SPEAK TRUTH DON'T NEED A SRONG MEMORY.... ONLY THOSE WHO MANIPULATE NEED A STRONG MEMORY....

SON.... I NEED A MOTOR BIKE....

FATHER.... THIS YEAR YOU PASS THE IIT ENTRANCE EXAM, I WILL GET YOU THE MOTOR BIKE YOU WANT....

NOW I GOT IT.... CORRUPTION BEGINS STRAIGHT AT HOME....

SHE.....MY HUSBAND LIES A LOT TO ME GURUJI.....WHAT SHOULD I DO?

ME... DON'T ASK HIM TOO MANY QUESTIONS...

HE....GURUJI, SHE YELLED AT ME MANY TIMES, BUT I ALWAYS WENT BACK TO HER AND PLACATED HER....TODAY MORNING I JUST YELLED ONCE SHE WENT AWAY TO HER MOTHER'S PLACE...

ME..MY BOY, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND MEN ARE LIKE DOGS.... ANY NUMBER OF TIMES YOU YELL AT IT, IT WILL COME BACK... WOMEN ARE LIKE CATS.... JUST YELL ONCE THEY ARE GONE...

G......GENERATOR...
O......OPERATOR...
D.......DESTROYER.....

ON THE BASIS OF WHAT YOUR NEIGHBOUR OR FRIEND OR RELATIVE SAY QUESTION YOUR CHILD PRESUMING THAT SHE OR HE IS ON THE WRONG.... DON'T GO BY WHAT OTHERS SAY.... DONT ALLOW OTHERS JUDGMENT OF YOUR CHILD AS A TOOL FOR YOUR QUESTIONING IT.... YOUR PRESUMPTION OF OTHERS WORDS AS TRUE AND NOT TRUSTING YOUR CHILD FOR WHAT HE OR SHE SAYS IS NOT FAIR... TRY TO SEE YOUR CHILD THROUGH HER OR HIS OWN EYES... DONT SEE THE CHILD THROUGH OTHERS EYES... IT WILL LOOK VERY SHABBY ON YOUR PART TO BEHAVE THAT WAY... TREAT THE CHILD MORE AS A GOOD FRIEND AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND ITS FEELINGS AT ITS LEVEL... GO DOWN TO THE CHILD'S LEVEL TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT HE OR SHE SAYS... ITS YOUR CHILD... DONT FORGET IT....

SOME WHERE SOUTH OF INDIA, THERE LIVED A GREAT FOLK DANCER BY NAME KADAMBARI.... SHE REGULARLY DANCED BEFORE LORD BHAIRAVA IN A TEMPLE....

THERE WAS A PRIEST IN THE TEMPLE BY NAME SOMANADHA SASTRY.... HE WAS VERY DEDICATED IN HIS WORSHIP TOWARDS THE LORD... HE WAS A VERY STRICT DISCIPLINARIAN.. HE HAD NO INCLINATION TOWARDS DANCE OR MUSIC....BUT HE KNEW THAT KADAMBARI IS A DANCER AND DANCES BEFORE LORD WHEN SOMANADHA IS NOT THERE...

SO KADAMBARI USED TO DANCE BEFORE LORD BHAIRAVA, WHENEVER SOMANADHA SASTRY WAS NOT PRESENT IN THE TEMPLE.... SOME TIMES SHE USED TO DANCE FOR HOURS BEFORE THE LORD...

ONE DAY WHEN SHE WAS DANCING SHE HEARD THE FOOT STEPS OF SOMANADHA SASTRY COMING IN TO THE TEMPLE.... SO SHE STOPPED DANCING AND HID HERSELF IN THE PREMISES OF THE TEMPLE.... SOMANADHA SASTRY COMPLETED THE WORSHIP AND SINCE IT WAS 9 PM, LOCKED THE TEMPLE AND LEFT....

ONCE HE LEFT, KADAMBARI WAS VERY HAPPY THAT SHE COULD SPEND THE NIGHT WITH THE LORD.... SO SHE DANCED FOR HOURS THAT NIGHT BEFORE LORD BHAIRAVA.... SHE WAS TIRED AND SLEPT IN THE SANCTUM SANCTORUM OF THE LORD....

EARLY MORNING SOMANADHA SASTRY OPENED THE TEMPLE AND CAME INSIDE TO WORSHIP LORD BHAIRAVA AND FOUND KADAMBARI SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE LORD INSIDE THE SANCTUM SANCTORUM.... HE RUSHED OUT OF THE TEMPLE AND BROUGHT ALL THE VILLAGE ELDERS...

JUST THEN KADAMBHARI WOKE UP TO FIND THE ENTIRE VILLAGE STARING AT HER.... SOMANADHA SASTRY BLAMED KADAMBHARI TO HAVE VIOLATED THE SCRIPTURES AND BROUGHT DISREPUTE TO THE ENTIRE VILLAGE.... HE FURTHER SAID THAT THE TEMPLE HAS TO BE SANCTIFIED SINCE THE ENTRY OF A FEMALE INSIDE THE SANCTUM SANCTORUM IS A DISGRACE AND WILL BRING A LOT OF MISERIES TO THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE....

THE VILLAGE ELDERS FEARING CONSEQUENCES ASKED KADAMBARI TO LEAVE THE VILLAGE ONCE AND FOR ALL.... KADAMBARI PLEADED WITH THE VILLAGE ELDERS TO ALLOW HER TO STAY IN THE VILLAGE.... SHE FELL AT THE FEET OF SOMANADHA SASTRY... HE DID NOT SHOW ANY SYMPATHY TO HER AND SHOUTED AT HER... SO KADAMBARI LEFT THE VILLAGE WITH A HEAVY HEART, CRYING ALL THE WAY...

A FEW MILES AWAY FROM THE VILLAGE WAS AN OLD DILAPIDATED BUILDING IN WHICH SHE FOUND A SAINT LIVING.... SHE TOLD HER STORY TO THE SAINT AND THE SAINT SAID THAT SHE CAN LIVE IN THAT BUILDING WITH HIM ON THE CONDITION THAT SHE WILL CONTINUE TO DANCE FOR LORD BHAIRAVA AT THIS PLACE WHILE HE WILL BE IN DHYANA/MEDITATION...... SO EVERY DAY KADAMBARI THINKING OF HER LORD DANCED BEFORE THE SAINT, WHILE THE SAINT WAS IN DEEP MEDITATION.....

SOMNADHA SASTRY AND THE VILLAGERS PLANNED A GRAND FUNCTION TO SANCTIFY THE DEITY AND SANCTUM SANCTORUM ON THREE AUSPICIOUS DAYS CONTINUOUSLY..... THE FIRST TWO DAYS WENT OFF PEACEFULLY....

MEANWHILE KAMDAMBARI EXPRESSED HER DESIRE TO VISIT THE TEMPLE ON THE CONSECRATION DAY TO THE SAINT....

THE SAINT SAID,' KADAMBARI, IF YOU GO LIKE THIS, PEOPLE WILL FIND YOU.... I WILL ALSO COME WITH YOU.... WE WILL GO LIKE NOMADIC'... SO BOTH THE SAINT AND KADAMBARI CHANGED THEIR DRESSES AND COSTUME ,SET OUT TO VILLAGE TO WITNESS THE GRAND FINAL DAY CONSECRATION CEREMONY...

THE THIRD FINAL DAY OF THE CONSECRATION CEREMONY BEGAN AND ALL THE VILLAGERS HAD ASSEMBLED.... THE SAINT AND KADAMBARI DRESSED NOMADIC ALSO MIXED WITH THE CROWD....

ALL VEDIC HYMS WERE BEING RECITED BY SOMANADHA SASTRY AND A TEAM OF BRAHMINS.... THE SCREEN WAS REMOVED ONLY TO FIND THAT THE LORD WAS MISSING.... THE DEITY WAS MISSING... THERE WAS COMMOTION.... EVERY ONE WAS STUNNED... SOMANADHA SASTRY WAS DUMB FOUNDED.... NONE KNEW WHAT TO DO....

SOMANADHA SASTRY SAID, 'HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS THE LORD WAS VERY MUCH THERE.... OVERNIGHT HE HAS GONE MISSING.... WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IS THERE ANY THING WRONG I HAVE COMMITTED? OH LORD, PLEASE EXCUSE ME AND PARDON ME OF ANY WRONG DOING'.....

THE SAINT CAME TO THE FRONT AND SAID TO SOMANADHA SASTRY.....'SOMANADHA, I THINK YOUR LORD IS NOT JUST SATISFIED WITH YOUR VEDIC HYMS.... HE IS NOT JUST SATISFIED WITH YOUR RITUALS AS PER SCRIPTURES... IT LOOKS LIKE HE NEEDS SOMETHING ELSE ALSO....BY ANY CHANCE WAS HE ENTERTAINED IN THE PAST BY ANY DANCER? DID ANY ONE DANCED BEFORE HIM?'...

SOMANADHA SASTRY SAID....'YES....OH ELDER.... I THINK I HAVE DONE A GRAVE MISTAKE OF BANISHING A YOUNG DANCER BY NAME KADAMBARI, WHO USE TO ENTERTAIN LORD WITH HER DANCE.... I HAVE SINNED BY BANISHING HER FROM THIS VILLAGE... I DONT KNOW WHERE SHE IS NOW.... IF I KNOW WHERE SHE IS, I WILL BEG APOLOGY AND BRING HER BACK SO THAT OUR LORD WILL BE PLEASED BY HER DANCE AND RE APPEAR IN THIS TEMPLE'.....

MEANWHILE KADAMBARI CAME FORWARD AND REVEALED HER IDENTITY AND IN NO TIME SHE STARTED DANCING.... THE LORD DID NOT APPEAR.....

SOMANADHA SASTRY ASKED THE SAINT, ' IS THE LORD STILL NOT HAPPY WITH ME? SHOULD I DO ANYTHING FURTHER TO PLEASE THE LORD?'......

THE SAINT LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND FINALLY SAID, 'IN THE BEAUTY OF HER DANCE I FORGOT MYSELF THAT I HAVE SOME THING ELSE TO DO....LET ME DO IT SO THAT YOU ALL CAN SEE THE LORD BHAIRAVA'.....

SO SAYING THE SAINT WALKED INSIDE TO THE SANCTUM SANCTORUM AND SAT ON THE PEETAM AND BECAME THE STONE IDOL'.......

THIS STORY WAS NARRATED TO ME BY MAHARISHI RAJAR WHEN FOR THE FIRST TIME HE TOOK ME TO TIRUPPATHUR TO HAVE THE DARSHAN OF 'YOGA BHAIRAVA' IN A TEMPLE.... TIRUPPATHUR IS 60 KMS NORTH EAST OF MADURAI.....

OM KSHAM YOGA BHAIRAVAYA NAMHA.....

LORD'S GRACE....ENJOY

WIFE.... SHALL I MAKE PULAO OR BRIYANI?

HUSBAND.... FIRST MAKE IT AND THEN WE WILL NAME IT.....

ROFL....

LEARN THE UNLEARNING
UNLEARN THE LEARNING

IT'S ENOUGH OF WINDING 
UNWIND UNWIND UNWIND....

LIVE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER LIVED 
LOVE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER LOVED

THOUGH WITH ADVANCEMENT OF AGE MATURITY IS EXPECTED TO DAWN ON ACCOUNT OF THE EXPERIENCES ONE UNDER GOES IN LIFE, I HAVE SEEN MANY A TIME THIS THEORY FALLING SHORT OF THE REALITY.... MANY AGED PEOPLE BEHAVE VERY IMMATURE AND YOUNGSTERS BEHAVE MORE CONVINCINGLY... SO IT LOOKS LIKE ITS THE MATURITY OF SOUL OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS THAT MATTERS AND NOT THE BODY WHICH AGES IN ONE LIFE....

THE MORE YOU ARE AWARE, THE BETTER YOU UNDERSTAND....
THE BETTER YOU UNDERSTAND, THE LESSER YOU COMPLAIN...

I ALWAYS BOW MY HEAD LOW TO ALL ELDERS, SOME FOR THEIR ELDERSHIP OTHERS FOR THEIR AGE....

GANGADHAR DAS LIVED ON THE BANKS OF GANGES... HE WAS ABLY SUPPORTED IN LIFE BY HIS WIFE SUSHMITHA.... EVERY DAY GANGADHAR USED TO CROSS GANGES RIVER AND WALK INSIDE A FOREST TO REACH A SHIVA TEMPLE.... HE USED TO PERFORM POOJA THROUGH OUT THE DAY AND RETURN AT NIGHT... SUSHMITHA DID HOUSE HOLD DUTIES IN A ZAMINDAR'S HOUSE IN A VILLAGE NEARBY AND EARNED MONEY FOR THE EXPENSES OF HER HOUSE....

ONE DAY GANGADHAR DID NOT RETURN HOME AND A WORRIED SUSHMITHA DECIDED TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER TO FIND OUT ABOUT HER HUSBAND'S WHERE ABOUTS....

SHE CROSSED THE RIVER AND ENTERED THE FOREST... IT WAS PITCH DARK AND SHE COULD NOT VIRTUALLY SEE ANYTHING... JUST THEN CAME A YOUNG GIRL WITH A LANTERN AND SHE ENQUIRED AS TO WHO SUSHMITHA WAS AND WHAT SHE WAS DOING THERE SO LATE IN THE NIGHT....

SUSHMITHA... I CAME IN SEARCH OF MY HUSBAND... WE RESIDE ON THE OPPOSITE BANK OF THIS GANGES RIVER... HE COMES EVERY DAY TO DO POOJA TO LORD SHIVA IN A TEMPLE INSIDE THE FOREST.... HE NORMALLY RETURNS BACK AT NIGHT....SINCE HE DID NOT COME BACK, I AM WORRIED AND I CAME IN SEARCH OF HIM....

THE GIRL... I KNOW WHERE HE WILL BE.... I WILL TAKE YOU TO HIM...
BUT ON ONE CONDITION, WHICH I WILL REVEAL IT TO YOU IN HIS PRESENCE....

THE GIRL TOOK SUSHMITHA DEEP INSIDE THE FOREST TO THE SHIVA TEMPLE... GANGADHAR WAS IN DEEP MEDITATION AND ABSORBED IN HIS WORSHIP OF THE LORD.... THE GIRL KEPT HER HAND ON THE SHOULDER OF GANGADHAR AND HE WOKE UP FROM HIS TRANCE.... GANGADHAR SAW THE GIRL AND SUSHMITHA.... GANGADHAR WAS WONDER STRUCK TO SEE HIS WIFE AND REALISED THAT IT WAS LATE IN THE NIGHT....

THE GIRL SAID.... 'YOU BOTH ARE GOING TO BE BLESSED WITH A GIRL BABY..... SHE WILL BE BLESSED WITH A LOT OF DIVINE QUALITIES... SHE WILL BE A VERY GOOD DANCER.... SHE WILL DEVOTE HER TIME IN DANCING FOR GODDESS KALI.... SHE WILL NOT BE MARRIED AND SHE WILL BE IN THE SERVICE OF KALI.... IN FACT SHE IS A KALI SWAROOPINI HERSELF... SHE WILL DECIDE THE FUTURE COURSE OF LIFE HERSELF AND YOU BOTH WILL ENCOURAGE HER TO LIVE A LIFE AS SHE DESIRES'....

GANGADHAR DAS AND SUSHMITHA AGREED TO WHAT THE YOUNG GIRL SAID.... AFTER SAYING THIS THE YOUNG GIRL VANISHED...

GANGADHAR DAS AND SUSHMITHA CAME BACK TO THEIR PLACE.....AFTER A YEAR THEY WERE BLESSED WITH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.....

THE GIRL'S FACE WAS BRIGHT AND ROUND LIKE A FULL MOON AND SO GANGADHAR NAMED HER AS CHANDRAMUKHI..... LATER SHE WAS AFFECTIONATELY ADDRESSED BY EVERY ONE AS 'DIDI CHAANDINI' MY BELOVED MASTER.....

JIVA PITRU....
*****************

IT IS BELIEVED THAT AFTER DEATH, EVERY ONE ATTAINS THE PITRU LOKA..... KARMAS ARE OF TWO TYPES.... ONE IS CALLED SANCHITA KARMA AND THE OTHER IS PRARABDHA KARMA... PRARABDHA KARMA IS THE BALANCE OF KARMA OF THE PRESENT BIRTH UP TO DEATH AND SANCHITHA KARMA IS THE ACCUMULATED KARMAS OF THE PREVIOUS BIRTHS.... ALL PRARABDHA KARMAS LEFT OVER OF THE PRESENT BIRTH ARE ADDED TO THE SANCHITHA KARMAS OF PREVIOUS BIRTHS... SO THE MOMENT YOU ARE BORN, YOU ARE BORN WITH THE ACCUMULATED BALANCE OF SANCHITHA KARMAS... SUBSEQUENTLY YOU ACCUMULATE THE PRARABDHA KARMA OF THE PRESENT BIRTH DUE TO THOUGHTS, ACTIONS, REACTIONS AND SUBSEQUENT DEEDS BASED ON ALL THIS....

IN THE PITRU LOKA MANY PITRUS CO EXIST.... THEY CONTEMPLATE OF THEIR PREVIOUS BIRTHS.... THEY HAVE A MASTER.... HE IS CALLED BY THE NAME 'JIVA PITRU'.... HE EDUCATES THEM OF THE VALUE SYSTEM.... HE EDUCATES ALL THE SOULS BELONGING TO HIS CLAN EXISTING IN THE PITRU LOKA OF HOW TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY ARE BORN AS 'JIVA'.... HE EDUCATES THEM AS TO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO ESCAPE THE CHAIN OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS... HE EDUCATES THEM AS TO HOW THE 'JIVA-INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS' CAN ESCAPE THIS CHAIN OF KARMA TO MERGE WITH 'PARAMA-UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS'... A LOT IS TOLD ON THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF PARAMA-THE UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS....

FURTHER JIVA PITRU HAS THE RIGHT TO RE ALIGN THE BIRTH OF A PITRU AS JIVA IN THIS WORLD.... CONSIDERING THE GENERAL WELFARE OF THE CLAN, SOME TIMES HE RE ARRANGES THE ORDER.... GENERALLY THE BIRTH OF A PITRU AS A JIVA IS AS PER THE KARMAS ATTAINED, BUT JIVA PITRU HAS GOT SPECIAL POWERS TO OVER RIDE THIS AND CAN MAKE A SOUL BE BORN EARLIER OR LATER DEFYING THE KARMIC CYCLE....

IT SEEMS LORD BRAHMA IN EVERY CLAN DECIDES AS TO WHO CAN DON THE ROLE OF A 'JIVA PITRU'.... GENERALLY SOULS WITH A VERY HIGH DEGREE OF COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS WHO HAVE ALMOST ATTAINED THE STAGE OF MERGING WITH THE 'PARAMA' ARE REQUESTED TO DON THIS ROLE AS 'JIVA PITRU'...THOUGH THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO MERGE WITH THE PARAMA, THEY SACRIFICE THAT AND DON THE ROLE OF 'JIVA PITRU' IN THE INTEREST OF THE FAMILY/CLAN.... A JIVA PITRU NORMALLY IS SAID TO REMAIN THE HEAD OF THE CLAN FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE MERGER IN TO 'PARAMA'.... SOME TIMES RARELY THE 'JIVA PITRU' ALSO ENTERS THE BODY OF A JIVA FOR SOME TIME TO DO NECESSARY CORRECTIONS IN THE FAMILY...

SO THOUGH YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHICH FORE FATHER IS THE JIVA PITRU FOR YOUR CLAN, ONE CAN DEDICATEDLY PRAY TO THAT SOUL FOR BETTER HANDLING OF THE SITUATIONS IN THE FAMILY AND THE WORLD.... THOUGH OTHER PITRUS OF THE CLAN MAY NOT BE THAT MATURED, THE JIVA PITRU IS A VERY MATURED SOUL AND ALWAYS BLESSES THE ALL IN THE FAMILY....

OM SHREE MAHA JIVA PITRE NAMAHA.....

LORD'S GRACE....

Divine Darshanas

ONE DAY AS I WAS WALKING IN THE FOREST, 'BRINDA' ACCOMPANIED ME ON MY WALK.... SHE WAS VERY DEPRESSED... SINCE I HAD NOT VISITED THE FOREST FOR MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS.... NORMALLY SHE EXPECTS ME ONCE IN 45 DAYS... SOME TIMES IT SO HAPPENS I DONT STICK UP TO THIS SCHEDULE... LAST SHE SAW ME WAS 4 MONTHS BACK.... UNDUE DELAY.... I APOLOGISED TO HER....

ME...I AM EXTREMELY SORRY BRINDA, I COULD NOT KEEP UP MY SCHEDULE....THIS TIME I HAVE INORDINATELY DELAYED SEEING YOU....

BRINDA...ITS OKAY....WHO AM I TO DIRECT YOU TO STICK TO SCHEDULE?.... NOT JUST ME, YOU KNOW WE ALL LOVE YOU AND LOVE TO SEE YOU AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE...

ME...YEAH I CAN UNDERSTAND.... BUT IN MY KIND OF LIFE NOTHING IS CERTAIN.....

BRINDA....THERE IS NOTHING CERTAIN FOR US ALSO... 

ME...IS THAT SO?

BRINDA.... AS THOUGH U DONT KNOW...

ME....YEAH....I REMEMBER...NOW A DAYS MY MEMORY IS FALLING SHORT....

BRINDA....THIS IS WHAT I LIKE MOST IN YOU.... YOU JOKE.... I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOUR MEMORY IS SHORT.... YOU HAVE YOUR OWN REASONS TO BEHAVE SO AND I CANT QUESTION YOU ON THAT...

ME...WHAT MAKES YOU TO THINK THAT WAY?

BRINDA....WHEN THE MIND PLAYS A ROLE, WE TEND TO SUSPECT EVERYTHING WE COME ACROSS AND WE QUESTION.... WHEN HEART PLAYS A ROLE WE TEND TO REPOSE TOTAL FAITH... YOU KNOW WELL I DONT BELONG TO MIND AND I BELONG TO HEART... MY HEART KNOWS TOO WELL THAT YOU DO EVERYTHING FOR GOOD.... AT LEAST I KNOW YOU FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS... MAHARISHI RAJAR ALWAYS USED TO TALK ABOUT YOU TO ME WHENEVER I USED TO BE AROUND HIS PLACE....HE NEVER SPOKE TO ME ABOUT ANY ONE ELSE OTHER THAN YOU....YOU KNOW THAT I WAS BORN IN MAHARISHI'S HUT.... YOU ONLY BROUGHT ME OUT OF MY MOTHER'S WOMB AND SHE HAD A SAFE DELIVERY AT THAT TIME....

ME...IS THAT SO? ONCE AGAIN MY MEMORY IS FALTERING....

BRINDA...I DONT KNOW WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME.... ALWAYS PRETENDING WITH ME AND POSING AS THOUGH YOU DONT KNOW...

ME....BRINDA, IS IT THAT I AM PRETENDING OR IS IT THAT YOU ARE PRETENDING..... I KNOW BRINDA ALWAYS TESTS ME AND HENCE AS A TRUE DISCIPLE SUBSERVIENT TO THE MASTER, THOUGH I DID PERFORM THE ACT, I DONT ACKNOWLEDGE TO HAVE DONE... I AM NOT THE DOER AND LORD IS THE DOER.... I LOVE YOU MAINLY FOR THIS.... AT EVERY TIME YOU SAY SOMETHING TO FIND OUT WHETHER MY EGO LEVELS HAVE GONE UP.... DONT I KNOW THAT IT IS SAGE AGASTYA'S WIFE LOPAMUDRA WHO HAS BEEN BORN AS 'BRINDA' THE SWEET TIGRESS......

'BRINDA' STOPPED...LOOKED AT ME.... I COULD SEE THE MOTHERLINESS AND COMPASSION IN HER EYES....

BRINDA.... THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU MORE.... UR HUMILITY AND HUMBLENESS ATTRACTS ME.... UR GRATITUDE IS IMBIBED IN YOUR SOUL..... HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT TIME.... COME BACK SOON....

AS SHE SAID, SHE LEFT JUMPING JOYOUSLY IN TO THE JUNGLE ON TO MY LEFT..... IN THE DIRECTION SHE LEFT, I OFFERED TRIPLE PROSTRATIONS TO THE GREAT MASTER LOPAMUDRA, THE DIVINE WIFE OF SAGE AGASTYA.................PURELY LORD'S GRACE....

********************************************************************************************************************************

IT WAS AN USUAL DAY.... I WAS DRIVING ANANTARAMAN'S VOLKSWAGEN VENTO CAR.... SUDDENLY SOME THING CAME TO MY MIND... JUST 35 KMS BEFORE TRICHY IS A VILLAGE ON THE HIGHWAY BY NAME 'SIRUVACHOOR'....THE PRESIDING DEITY IS 'MADHURA KALI AMMAN'...SHE IS A REAL BEAUTY... TWO EYES ARE NOT ENOUGH TO SEE HER..

I COMPLETED HAVING A DARSHAN OF HER AND CAME TO BOARD THE CAR... THE KEYS WERE MISSING... I SEARCHED MY BAG AND SHIRT POCKET...NO WHERE I COULD FIND... I THOUGHT OF CALLING ANANTARAMAN TO INFORM THIS... THE LUGGAGE WAS INSIDE THE CAR...THEN I REALISED THE MOBILE WAS INSIDE THE CAR....I HARDLY REMEMBER ANY TELEPHONE NUMBER....SO I WALKED WITH MY SHOULDER BAG TO THE MAIN HIGHWAY WHICH IS 2 KMS FROM THE TEMPLE.... I JUST BOARDED A BUS TO TRICHY.....I GOT DOWN IN TRICHY BUS STAND AND WENT TO VASANTHA BHAVAN TO HAVE SOME SNACKS AND COFFEE.... I JUST CAME OUT...

AN OLD MAJESTIC LOOKING LADY, MAY BE AROUND 75 YEARS OF AGE, APPROACHED ME AND ASKED ME DIRECTION TO GO TO TO SIRUVACHUR, ' MADHURA KALI AMMAN ' TEMPLE....SHE TOLD ME SHE HAS COME ON A PILGRIMAGE AND WHETHER I CAN GUIDE HER TO SIRUVACHUR...SHE IS FROM NORTH OF INDIA AND SPOKE HINDI....SHE DIDNT UTTER A WORD IN TAMIL... I THOUGHT THERE IS SOME MESSAGE IN THIS...ON THE PRETEXT OF GUIDING HER I THOUGHT OF GOING BACK TO SIRUVACHUR.... SO WE BOTH BOARDED A BUS AND WERE TALKING SO MANY THINGS, RIGHT FROM FAMILY TO RELIGION TO POLITICS ETC., WE REACHED SIRUVACHUR....

IT WAS AFTER NOON AND THE TEMPLE WAS CLOSED... SO WE JUST SAT ON A RAISED PLATFORM... SHE SAID SHE WAS VERY TIRED AND WOULD LIKE TO SLEEP.... SHE ASKED ME WHETHER I WOULD MIND IF SHE SLEPT WITH HER HEAD ON MY LAP SINCE THERE WAS NO PILLOW WITH US....SHE STARTED DOZING ON MY LAP... AFTER TWO HOURS OF SLEEP SHE SAID SHE WAS HUNGRY... SO FIRST WE BOTH WENT TO A SMALL HOTEL AND HAD SNACKS...

WE RETURNED BACK TO THE TEMPLE....WE HAD THE DARSHAN OF GODDESS AND THEN WE WERE DOING PRADAKSHANAM OF THE PRAKARAM...AFTER 12 PRADAKSHANAMS SHE WENT MISSING...SHE WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND... I WAS SURPRISED AND AS I WAS JUST COMING OUT OF THE TEMPLE, THE POOJARI/PRIEST CAME RUNNING FROM INSIDE AND SAID..'SIR, THE OLD WOMAN WHO CAME WITH YOU TO HAVE DARSHAN ASKED ME TO KEEP THIS PACKET NEAR THE GODDESS AND THEN GIVE IT TO YOU'....HE HANDED OVER THE PACKET AND LEFT INSIDE..

WHEN I OPENED THE PACKET I FOUND THE CAR KEYS, SOME KUMKUM PRASADAM AND A LEMON....I JUST TURNED BACK AND WENT INTO THE TEMPLE TO SEE THE GODDESS....I FOUND 'SRI MADHURA KALI AMMAN' SMILING AT ME GRACEFULLY.... I WAS IN TEARS.......LORDS GRACE...JAI MATA DI......
*********************************************************************************************************************************
THAT DAY WAS A MEMORABLE ONE FOR ME....MAHARISHI RAJAR ASKED ME TO GO DEEP INSIDE THE FOREST...AROUND 20 TO 25 MILES FROM WHERE HE WAS, TO MEDITATE BEFORE WE DO A PRAYOGAM CALLED 'CHINTAMANI'.......HE SAID I HAVE TO GO ALONE.... I JUST WENT IN THE DIRECTION HE POINTED.... I REACHED A BEAUTIFUL SPOT....SURROUNDED BY MANY MOUNTAINS...A BEAUTIFUL VALLEY WITH LOTS OF GREENERY AROUND...IT WAS SLIGHTLY DRIZZLING...SUN WAS ABOUT TO SET...IT WAS TWILIGHT TIME... I FELT A BIT TIRED AFTER THE LONG WALK... SO I THOUGHT OF TAKING A SHORT NAP... I JUST LIED DOWN....THE SHORT NAP BECAME A LONG ONE... SUDDENLY I REALISED SUM HEAT... I OPENED MY EYES.... JUST 5 FEET AWAY FROM WHERE I WAS SLEEPING SUM LOGS OF WOODS AND TWIGS WERE BURNING... IT MUST BE PAST MIDNIGHT AS IT WAS PITCH DARK... I HAD OVER SLEPT... MY MASTER HAD SENT ME FOR SUM MEDITATION AND DUE TO MY CARELESSNESS I OVERSLEPT... I JUST SAW AROUND...I COULDNT FIND ANY ONE... SO I CLOSED MY EYES BEFORE THE PYRE THAT WAS LIT AND STARTED MY MEDITATION.... IT WAS QUITE A PEACEFUL ONE AND THERE WAS NO DISTURBANCE MIDWAY....NOW IT MUST HAVE BEEN THREE O CLOCK EARLY MORNING.... I JUST OPENED MY EYES...I SAW AN OLD COUPLE A MALE AND FEMALE SITTING OPPOSITE TO ME ON A BIG ROCK AND SMILING AT ME.... I GOT UP FROM MY SEAT AND I PROSTRATED THEM....THEY GAVE ME SUM WATER TO DRINK FROM A VESSEL THEY WERE CARRYING....NEXT 10 HOURS WAS NOTHING BUT A BLISS FOR THEY TAUGHT ME 'SHABDA AND NADA DWANI RAHASYA' OF THE BIJAKSHARAS.... I PROSTRATED THEM AND THEY BLESSED ME BY KEEP THEIR LEGS ON MY HEAD... I HAD THE PADA DEEKSHA OF SAGE AGASTYA AND LOPAMUDRA....AS THEY LEFT I JUST TURNED AROUND TO SEE MAHARISHI RAJAR WAITING FOR ME WITH OPEN HANDS....HE WAS VERY JOYOUS, HUGGED ME AND KISSED ME ON MY CHEEKS..
*******************************************************************************************
LONG LONG AGO MYSELF AND MAHARISHI RAJAR HAD GONE TO MANNARSHALA AND SPENT A WHOLE DAY AT THE TEMPLE...LATE EVENING RAJAR SAID HE IS GOING SOME WHERE AND I SAW HIM OFF AT THE BUS STATION...I WANTED TO VISIT CHETTIKULAMKARAI AND HAVE A DARSHAN OF MY MOTHER BHAGAWATHY..I WAITED FOR A BUS ON THE MAIN ROAD...IT WAS GETTING LATE...THE TEMPLE CLOSES EARLY SO A BIT OF CONCERN IN ONE CORNER OF THE MIND...JUST THEN A WHITE AMBASSADOR CAR CAME AND THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR ASKED ME THE ROUTE TO GO TO CHETTIKULAMKARAI...I SAID I AM ALSO GOING TO THE TEMPLE AND THEY GLADLY TOOK ME IN...AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THERE IS ROAD WHICH GOES TO MAVELLIKARA...IN CASE WE GO IN THAT ROAD FOR ABOUT 12 KMS WE TAKE A LEFT AND IN 4 KMS YOU WILL REACH THE TEMPLE...SO I ASKED THE DRIVER TO TAKE LEFT, BUT HE IGNORED ME AND KEPT DRIVING STRAIGHT...AFTER AROUND 15 KMS THERE IS A TOWN CALLED KAYAMKULAM AND CHETTIKULAMKARAI IS JUST ON THE OUTSKIRTS AROUND 4 KMS ...SO I TOLD THE DRIVER SINCE WE HAVE MISSED TO TURN, NOW HE CAN TURN LEFT TO KAYAMKULAM TO REACH CHETTIKULAMKARAI...THOUGH WE PASSED THRU KAYAMKULAM HE IGNORED ME AND WAS CONTINUING TO DRIVE...I JUST KEPT QUIET AND AROUND THEY DROPPED ME SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN KOLLAM (THOSE DAYS QUILON) AND TRIVANDRUM...

I JUST PROSTRATED MY MASTER...MY MASTER RAJAR WAS IN TEARS...

ONE DAY IN SALEM, I WAS WALKING ON THE ROAD WITH VETRIVEL... HE WAS TO MY LEFT.... WE WERE TALKING ON SOME GENERAL ISSUES CONCERNING HIS OFFICE AND HOME.... AS WE WERE TALKING AND WALKING, SOME ONE CALLED ME AND HE WAS JUST TO MY RIGHT.... I JUST STOPPED AND STARTED CONVERSING WITH HIM....

HE... 'NOW A DAYS I FIND IT SO DIFFICULT TO REACH YOU'...

ME...'IT'S JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL.... YOU CAN ALWAYS SPOT ME'....

HE....'YOU DONT COME THESE DAYS TO MY PLACE... WHY NOT YOU COME SOME TIME?'....

ME...'YEAH, I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS.... BUT I DID MAKE A VISIT 2 YEARS BACK TO YOUR PLACE.... I WENT AROUND SEARCHING FOR YOU.... I WAS NOT BLESSED TO SEE YOU.. I JUST VISITED THE LOCAL TEMPLES AND RETURNED BACK'..

HE...'YOU SHOULD COME AT THE EARLIEST.... I NEED TO DISCUSS WITH YOU CERTAIN ISSUES CONCERNING MY FAMILY... I KNOW VERY WELL THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR IT'....

ME...'IF I CAN PROVIDE A SOLUTION, IT'S NOT ME.... I AM NOT THE DOER....IT CAN BE ONLY DUE TO LORD'S GRACE AND MY MASTERS GRACE.... NOTHING IS OURS IN THIS WORLD... IT'S JUST THE GRACE OF THE LORD THAT MATTERS... I WILL CERTAINLY COME TO YOUR PLACE SHORTLY'.....

HE LEFT....

VETTRIVEL.... 'DO YOU HAVE ANY PSYCHIC PROBLEM?'....

ME... 'YEAH.... I DO HAVE LOTS OF THEM'....

VETTRIVEL....'I DON'T BELIEVE THIS'.....

ME....'OKAY.... DON'T BELIEVE'.....

VETTRIVEL....'THIS IS BOTHERING ME.... WITH WHOM YOU WERE TALKING? I COULD NOT SEE ANY ONE ON THE ROAD'..

ME...'I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT I HAVE SOME PSYCHIC PROBLEM.... YOU DON'T BELIEVE MY WORDS... WHAT IS IT I CAN DO? OKAY LET US BOTH MOVE SOME DISTANCE NOW AND I CAN TELL YOU WHAT IT IS'.....

VETTRIVEL WAS CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS..HE IMMEDIATELY OBLIGED....SO BOTH OF US WALKED SOME DISTANCE.... AS WE MOVED AWAY FROM THE SPOT WITHIN SECONDS THE BIG ADVERTISEMENT BOARD KEPT ON THE TOP CAME DOWN CRASHING AT THE PLACE WHERE WE WERE STANDING....

VETTRIVEL LOOKED STUNNED....

I SMILED AND SAID....'THIS TOO IS PSYCHIC...MY JOB IS OVER.... IF POSSIBLE GO TO KOLLI HILLS AND PRAY TO THE BHADRAKALI.... SHE HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO SAVE YOUR LIFE ONE MORE TIME'......

I DIDN'T WAIT FOR HIS REACTION.... I SWIFTLY LEFT THE PLACE IN AN AUTO....

LORD'S GRACE....

OM HREEM PROM HREEM MAHA BHADRAKALYAI NAMAHA...

KOLLI HILLS....ETTU KAI BHADRAKALI AMMAN KI JAI....

AROUND 4 YEARS BACK, DURING ONE OF MY TRIPS TO TRIVANDRUM, I WAS BUSY PURCHASING HOTLY FRIED BANANA CHIPS ON THE ROAD SIDE.... A SMALL GIRL MAY BE SIX OR SEVEN YEARS OLD ,CAME NEAR ME AND ASKED FOR ALMS... I GAVE HER SOME MONEY AND BOUGHT TWO CHIPS PACKETS FOR HER. THEN SHE POINTED OUT TO HER TORN CLOTHES AND ASKED ME TO GET HER CLOTHES... I JUST TOOK THE KID TO THE MARKET AREA AND GOT THEM CLOTHES...THEN SHE POINTED TO SOME TOYS IN A SHOP... I GOT THEM TOYS..THEN I ASKED HER WHERE SHE LIVES...THEN SHE TOOK ME TO A TEMPLE AND SHE SHOWED THE PRAHARA AND SAID SHE LIVES THERE...INFACT THAT DAY I SAW A NUMBER OF KIDS DANCING AND PLAYING ON THE PRAHARA... SHE ASKED ME WHETHER I CAN AFFORD GETTING THEM ALL CLOTHES AND FOOD... THERE WERE TOTALLY ANOTHER 6 KIDS,INTERESTINGLY ALL FEMALES....SO ONCE AGAIN I TOOK ALL THE 6 PLUS THE ONE WHO IS WITH ME BACK TO THE ROAD SIDE BANANA CHIPS STALL GOT THEM 2 PACKETS OF CHIPS EACH, TOOK THEM TO THE MARKET GOT DRESSES AND TOYS...I TOOK THEM BACK TO THE TEMPLE... A VERY BEAUTIFUL LADY WAS STANDING NEAR THE TEMPLE... THE KIDS RAN TO HER AND HUGGED HER...SHE WAS VERY FURIOUS AND STARTED SHOUTING AT ME...SHE SAID...'WITHOUT MY PERMISSION WHO R U TO TAKE MY CHILDREN WITH YOU'... I WAS TAKEN ABACK... I COULDN'T REPLY AND I FUMBLED...SHE SAID EVEN MY CLOTHES R IN POOR SHAPE, I AM TOO HUNGRY....SHE SAID FIRST TAKE ME TO A HOTEL AND FEED ME... I TOOK HER TO A HOTEL... SHE ATE AND THE KIDS ALSO ATE...THEN WE ALL WENT TO A SHOP AND SHE TOOK A SAREE...SHE SAID...I NEED ONE MORE... THEN SHE TOOK SOME BOXES OF SWEET FROM A SWEET SHOP...SHE SAID I CANT WALK...SO I CALLED A TAXI AND WE ALL WENT BACK TO THE TEMPLE...
I POLITELY ASKED HER.... 'WHERE DO U LIVE WITH THESE KIDS'?
SHE SMILED AND SAID...'WHY CAN U BUY ME A HOUSE'?
I SAID....'WHY NOT?'
SHE..'WILL IT BE AS BIG AS THIS TEMPLE?'..
ME...'MAY BE NOT...IT WILL BE A SMALL HOUSE'..
SHE..'NO PROBLEM...I CAN ADJUST AND LIVE...BUT WILL YOU GIVE ME A PLACE IN YOUR HEART BECAUSE THATS VERY BIG AND CAN ACCOMODATE ME AND MY FAMILY?'...
I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HEAD OR TAIL OF THIS STATEMENT...
SHE...'DONT WORRY...I VERY WELL KNOW I AM IN YOUR HEART SITTING AS A SOUL'..
I WAS LITERALLY BLINKING...
SHE JUST WENT INSIDE THAT BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE WITH HER SEVEN KIDS AND VANISHED...
I KNEW IT WAS THE DEITY OF THE TEMPLE ....SRI ATTUKKAL BHAGAWATHY WITH SAPTHA KANYA...THIS WAS SOME TIME BEFORE 'AKSHARA GAANA YAGNAM' WHICH WE CONDUCTED IN MANGALAGIRI...
LORDS GRACE...

ONE DAY I WAS WALKING IN THE FOREST..... IT WAS EVENING TIME AND ALREADY QUITE DARK..... IT WAS AN AMMAVASYA DAY.... NO MOON ON THE SKY..... BUT THE SKY WAS CLEAR AND THE STARS WERE TWINKLING....

I KNEW A GHOST WAS WALKING BEHIND ME.... I STOPPED NEAR A SMALL STREAM, FILLED MY WATER BOTTLE WHICH I WAS CARRYING AND DRANK SOME WATER....

THE GHOST STARTED TALKING....

GHOST...'I AM ALSO FEELING THIRSTY.... CAN I HAVE SOME WATER?'.....

I REFILLED THE BOTTLE WITH STREAM WATER AND GAVE IT TO THE GHOST.....

THE GHOST DRANK THE WATER AND SAID....'THIS WATER IS SO SWEET.... I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE THIS KIND OF SWEETNESS COMES?.... DON'T YOU FEEL IT?'....

I SAID....'YES.... THIS WATER TASTES SWEET..... I CALL THIS RIVER STREAM AS "MADHUMATHI" SINCE SHE IS VERY SWEET'.....

THE GHOST SAID...'ARE YOU NOT CURIOUS TO KNOW WHY IT IS SWEET?'....

I SAID....'SOME HOW, I DON'T HAVE ANY CURIOSITY ABOUT ANYTHING.... WHENEVER I COME THIS SIDE, I MAKE IT A POINT TO DRINK THIS WATER MORE SO NOT BECAUSE IT IS SWEET, BUT I GET A DIVINE COSMIC FEELING IN ADDITION TO IT QUENCHING MY THIRST'...

GHOST ASKED...'WHAT WATER SIGNIFIES?'.....

ME....'WATER IS COMPASSION.... THE MORE A PERSON DRINKS WATER, HE WILL DEVELOP COMPASSION TOWARDS OTHERS.... THOSE WHO DRINK LESS WATER OR NO WATER ARE LIKELY TO BE LESS COMPASSIONATE TO OTHERS.... FURTHER WATER DEVELOPS 'LOVE' IN A PERSON.... THEY WILL BE MORE CONSIDERATE TO THE FEELINGS OF OTHERS.... WE GIVE THARPANAM WITH WATER TO THE DEVATAS AND PITRUS TO BEGET THE FEELINGS OF LOVE AND COMPASSION, AS A BLESSING FROM THEM.... WATER IS THE VERY BASIS OF LIFE FORMS IN THE UNIVERSE... EVERY LIFE FORM LONGS FOR WATER WHICH IS PURE LOVE AND COMPASSION'.....

THE GHOST LAUGHED AND THE LAUGHTER ROARED ACROSS THE SKY..... THE GHOST FORM DISAPPEARED AND A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN APPEARED BEFORE ME....

I PROSTRATED HER..... GODDESS 'VAARUNI' WIFE OF LORD 'VARUNA'......

LORD'S GRACE... OUR PRAYERS....

October 2015 -4

Golden words of HH Sri VV Sridhar Guruji

 SHE...GURUJI, I WANT TO DO PENANCE... CAN YOU GUIDE ME?

ME... OH SURE...

FIRST YOU HAVE TO DO CERTAIN BASIC THINGS AND COME BACK TO ME ONCE YOU HAVE IMPLEMENTED IT 100 PERCENT...

1. YOU SHOULD DROP YOUR EGO AND SURRENDER TO THE WILL OF GOD...

2. YOU SHOULD DROP YOUR ANGER AND UNCONDITIONALLY LOVE PEOPLE FOR WHAT THEY ARE....

3. YOU SHOULD LIVE SELFLESSLY AND SUBMIT YOURSELF FOR THE SERVICE OF THIS WORLD...

I DIDN'T SEE HER AFTER THAT FOR SIX YEARS... SUDDENLY ONE DAY SHE CAME TO ME.... WE WERE SILENT FOR 4 HOURS.... AFTER THIS SHE HUGGED ME AND I TOLD HER...'DEAR, GOD IS NOW CONVERSING WITH YOU AND YOU HAVE ARRIVED YOUR DESTINATION'...

SHE SAID... YES, GURUJI I FEEL THAT...

AS SHE WAS GOING BACK, I PROSTRATED THRICE IN THAT DIRECTION FOR A YOGI IS BORN...

I FEEL FOR YOUNGSTERS OF TODAY...SHE IS DECENTLY EMPLOYED.... SHE LOVED A GUY AND HE DITCHED HER... SHE GOT MARRIED TO ANOTHER GUY... SHE WANTED TO BE TRANSPARENT WITH HIM.... AFTER MARRIAGE, SHE TOLD HIM THE PAST LIFE....HE FILED A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST HER AND HER FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HE HAS BEEN CHEATED... HER FAMILY MEMBERS INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING HER WERE BLAMING HER....INFACT ONE OF HER FAMILY MEMBER WAS BUSY COLLECTING MONEY BY NAMING THE POLICE AND COURT AS THE REASON, WHICH SHE SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND AS INCORRECT...SO SHE HAD TO RUN BEHIND POLICE, ADVOCATES AND COURT PERSONALLY TO CLEAN THE MESS.....FINALLY COURT ACQUITTED HER AND SHE GOT A DIVORCE... NOW SHE IS GOING THROUGH MATRIMONIAL COLOUMNS AND IS NOT ABLE TO DECIDE ABOUT THE FUTURE COURSE OF ACTION... CERTAINLY I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT NOW EVERY GUY WILL LOOK LIKE A VILLAIN AND SHE CANNOT DECIDE ON ANY ONE...

LORD'S WILL & GRACE... OUR PRAYERS

Morning wife asked her husband to give the newspaper ....
Husband :-How backward you are? 
Technology has developed so much and you are still asking the newspaper ... ???
Take my iPad ....
Wife took the iPad and killed the Cockroach .... !!!
Husband faint ...
Moral ~
Whatever wife asks, give her without argument.
Show your smartness in your office only ....

HE.... HIS LOOKS ARE VERY BRIGHT.....

ME....YEAH I NOTICED.... THEY SAY LIGHT TRAVELS FASTER THAN SOUND.... THAT'S THE REASON WHY SOME PEOPLE APPEAR BRIGHT UNTIL YOU HEAR THEM SPEAK....

HE....GURUJI, HOW TO REJOICE?

ME....SIMPLE ....JUST TWO STEPS....

FIRST, RELEASE THE GUILT OF THE PAST....

SECOND, STOP WORRYING ABOUT FUTURE.....

HE.... WHAT IS ONE ASPECT THAT IS IMPORTANT IN MARRIAGE GURUJI?

ME.... MARRIAGE IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP PEOPLE FROM FIGHTING WITH THE STRANGERS....

ATTITUDE TOWARDS MARRIAGE....

MEN MARRY WOMEN WITH THE ULTIMATE HOPE THAT THEY WILL NOT CHANGE
WOMEN MARRY MEN WITH THE ULTIMATE HOPE THAT THEY WILL CHANGE....

HENCE BOTH ARE DISAPPOINTED....

A BOY AND A GIRL WERE GETTING MARRIED....

THEY....ANY PIECE OF ADVISE GURUJI....

ME.... YES.. TO BE HAPPY IN A MARRIAGE , THE GIRL SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE BOY A LOT AND LOVE HIM A LITTLE BIT.... THE BOY SHOULD LOVE THE GIRL A LOT AND NEVER ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND HER....

INTELLECT HAS CONSIDERABLY SPOILED US.... INTELLECT HAS FUELLED IN MANY OF US, EGO, PRIDE, JEALOUSY, GREED, POSSESSIVENESS.... TO BE WITH INTELLECT AND NOT BE BLESSED WITH ALL THESE NEGATIVE TRAITS LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE... WHEN ARE WE GOING TO UPGRADE FROM INTELLECT TO INTELLIGENCE, WHICH WILL BE FREE OF ALL THESE MALADIES?

THE RICH PLANS FOR TOMORROW....THAT WAY I AM POOR.... I JUST LIVE TODAY....

DUSHEHRA SPECIAL

A Wife appying HALDI . KUMKUM on own tounge ..

Husband asks what this nonsense...

Awsome reply by wife

" AYUDH PUJA"

TOMORROW THE YAGNAM WILL COMMENCE AROUND 3.30 PM ONLY AND NOT AS 12.30 PM ANNOUNCED ERRONEOUSLY... THE INCONVENIENCE CAUSED BY THIS ERRONEOUS ANNOUNCEMENT IS DEEPLY REGRETTED...PLEASE PASS ON THIS MESSAGE TO ONE AND ALL..

JOYOUS DUSSERA TO ALL OF YOU...

THE SELFISHNESS, CUNNINGNESS, POSSESSIVENESS, BACK BITING, OF SOME IN THIS WORLD IS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHERS TO MAKE THEMSELVES ALERT AND AWARE OF IT... IN FACT THESE NEGATIVE PEOPLE'S ACTION ALONE MAKES YOU MORE ALERT AND AWARE.... IN FACT WE HAVE TO THANK THESE FUNNY GUYS...

HEART SHOULD BE THE MASTER AND MIND SHOULD BE IT'S SERVANT...

WHEN YOU MAKE HEART THE MASTER, THE MIND AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES THE SERVANT....

HE...GURUJI, I KNOW A SPIRITUALLY EVOLVED PERSON.... HE SAYS HE CAN GUARANTEE LIBERATION (MOKSHA)... SHALL I GIVE IT A TRY?

ME...WHY NOT?.... PROBABLY HE IS A VERY CONSCIOUS PERSON... HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING....

HE... GURUJI, I AM SERIOUSLY ASKING YOU, PLEASE GUIDE ME...

ME... LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN.... WITH ME THERE IS NO GUARANTEE ABOUT ANYTHING LEAVE ALONE MOKSHA SINCE I AM NEITHER SPIRITUALLY EVOLVED NOR CONSCIOUS....FURTHER HE MAY PUT YOU ON TO SOME UPASANA AND SADHANA FOR THIS MOKSHA... UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION HE MAY CERTIFY THAT THE DOORS OF MOKSHA ARE OPEN TO RECEIVE YOU.... IN MY SCHOOL THERE IS NO UPASANA OR SADHANA.... IN FACT THERE IS NO PATH OR WAY.... IF YOU TRAVEL BEHIND ME, IT WILL LEAD YOU NO WHERE SINCE, THERE IS NO PATH.... I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM HEADING... I AM ONLY INTERESTED IN THE TRAVEL AND NOT IN THE DESTINATION.... SINCE YOU SEEMED TO BE INTERESTED IN THE DESTINATION, YOU MAY NEED SOME ONE LIKE HIM WHO CAN GUARANTEE THAT.... SO ITS BETTER YOU DON'T MISS THIS OFFER...

HE IS NOW BUSY WITH THAT PERSON.... I WISH AND PRAY HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS........

INTERESTING QUESTION BY MOUNY....WHAT IS MOKSHA? LIBERATION OF MIND OR NO RE BIRTH?..... LET US PONDER OVER IT....

HE... HOW TO LISTEN TO MASTER (HEART)?

ME...DON'T ASK TOUGH QUESTIONS... I DON'T KNOW....lol

WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO IT WHOLE HEARTEDLY.... IT CAN TURN MEDITATIVE...

AMBITION NEEDS AGGRESSION AS FUEL TO MAKE IT WORK... GOALS NEED AGGRESSION AS FUEL TO MAKE IT WORK... LORD'S GRACE WE ARE PEACEFUL SINCE THERE IS NO AMBITION OR GOALS... NOTHING TO ACHIEVE... MANY ARE NOT AT PEACE BECAUSE THEY HAVE AMBITION, GOALS TO ACHIEVE... AGGRESSION AND PEACE ARE OPPOSITE... THEY DON'T GO TOGETHER... ADDING TO THIS, I FIND MANY STRUGGLING WITH A WORD CALLED, 'PERFORMANCE'... THE STRESS TO PERFORM IS LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE... PERFORMANCE IS ONCE AGAIN LIKE TO CONSTANT COMPARISON AND UPDATION...

Drugs For Husbands!

New drugs for men created by women scientists are waiting for FDA approval...

ANIVERSIA: Triggers memories for birthdays and anniversaries...

SLIMOXIL: Widens male cornea making wives appear slim...

SPORTOBLIND X: Reacts with optic nerve to prevent men from recognizing the word "Sports" on TV...

WORKOCETAMOL: Generates an insatiable desire in men to do household chores...

SHOPHOFOBEX: Makes men eager to take wives for shopping every week and wait patiently...

FLIRTONATE-N: It reduces vision whenever a pretty woman passes by.

VERYTASTYMYCIN : husband always praises wife's cooking

HE.... GURUJI, THIS IS THE PHOTOGRAPH OF MY BOY... WE HAVE GOT AN ALLIANCE MATCH FOR HIM.... THIS IS THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE GIRL.... CAN WE PROCEED?

ME...JUST AN INFORMATION IS ENOUGH... WHY SHOULD I SEE THE PHOTOS OF YOUR BOY AND GIRL....

HE...GURUJI, WE WANT YOUR CONCURRENCE FOR THIS MARRIAGE...

ME....NO....I DONT WANT TO DO THIS.... DONT COMPEL ME.....

HE....GURUJI, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ONE ELSE TO GUIDE US.....

ME....THE BOY LIKES THE GIRL.... THE GIRL LIKES THE BOY.... THE FAMILIES OF BOTH SIDES HAVE AGREED.... WHERE DO I FIT IN THE SCHEME OF THESE THINGS?

HE....IT'S NOT LIKE THAT GURUJI.... YOU HAVE A BETTER VISION OF THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN IN FUTURE....SO I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHETHER THE BOY AND THE GIRL WILL BE COMPATIBLE... WHETHER THEY WILL HAVE CHILDREN? AFTER MARRIAGE WHETHER MY BOY'S CAREER WILL PROGRESS ON ACCOUNT OF THIS GIRL? WHETHER THE GIRL WILL MOVE THE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AMICABLY? I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND GURUJI WHAT I MEANT.....MORE THAN ALL THAT I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH GURUJI.....

ME.... SO YOU WANT ME TO USE MY VISION TO FIND OUT ALL THIS AND INFORM THE TRUTH TO YOU, SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE A DECISION?

HE...YES GURUJI....

ME..... SO MY ROAMING WITH THE MASTERS AND BEGETTING THEIR BLESSINGS TO HAVE A VISION, IS ONLY TO LOOK AT MARRIAGE PROPOSALS AND SAY YES OR NO.... NOW LISTEN TO ME....AS OF DATE THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE GIRL.... IF A PROBLEM ARISES IN FUTURE IT MAY BE BECAUSE OF YOUR BOY OR YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS.... SO THE COMPATIBILITY DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF YOUR SON AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS.....

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE GIRL IN BEGETTING KIDS.... PROBABLY THERE MAY BE SOME ISSUE REGARDING THE MOTILITY RATE IN YOUR SON'S CASE... NOW A DAYS SUITABLE TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE AND IT MAY NOT BE AN ISSUE...

REGARDING PROGRESS IN CAREER, YOUR BOY IS JUST AVERAGE... SO HIS PROGRESS DEPENDS ON HOW HE DELIVERS IN THE WORK FIELD.... THE GIRL IS VERY BRILLIANT... IN FACT IF PERMITTED SHE CAN HAVE A GOOD CAREER....

GENERALLY IN YOUR FAMILY EVERY ONE PICKS UP A FIGHT OR QUARRELS WITH OTHERS.... YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT ON CERTAIN ANCESTRAL PROPERTY ISSUES, MANY OF YOU HAVE FILED CASES AGAINST EACH OTHER.... YOUR FAMILY IS KNOWN FOR LITIGATION.... I REALLY PITY THIS GIRL.... SHE IS FROM A GOOD DECENT FAMILY.... I THINK HER FATE IS VERY NASTY, TO BE INVOLVED WITH YOUR FAMILY....THIS IS THE TRUTH.....

THAT WAS THE LAST DAY OF MY MEETING HIM OR ANY OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS.....

ONE MORE WICKET DOWN....

LORD'S GRACE...

TO ME IMMORALITY MEANS....

TO BE EGOISTIC...
TO BE GREEDY....
TO BE POSSESSIVE....
TO BE ANGRY....
TO BE JEALOUS...
TO BE IN THE ILLUSORY WORLD CLAIMING TO BE PERFECT....

TO ME MORALITY MEANS....

TO BE LOVEABLE....
TO BE IN LIFE ENJOYING THE SIMPLE PLEASURES AND DESIRES...
TO BE OF SERVICE TO NATURE AND HUMANITY...
TO BE WITH THE AURA OF JOY AND SPREADING PEACE...
TO BE IN WHOLE HEARTED ACCEPTANCE OF LIFE...
TO BE WONDERING THE TOTALITY OF THE NATURE...

LORD'S GRACE....

JUST BE YOURSELF.... WE CAN'T KEEP PLEASING EVERY ONE...

HAPPINESS IS NOT OUTER.... HAPPINESS IS INNER.... DONT SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS OUTSIDE....INSTEAD KEEP CONTEMPLATING THE INNER... YOU ARE SURE TO ACHIEVE IT AND ETERNALLY RETAIN IT....

WHEN YOU LOOK FOR HAPPINESS OUTSIDE, YOUR WANTS DEFINE IT AND DIFFERS FROM PERSON TO PERSON.... IF YOU LOOK INNER THE HAPPINESS IS AN DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE ALTOGETHER... IT'S JOY ETERNAL...

WHEN YOU ARE FULL WITH OUTER, INNER IS DIFFICULT... DONT FORCE YOURSELF.... FINISH WITH THE OUTER AND THEN YOU CAN SEE YOUR INNER MORE PRECISELY.... WHEN YOU ARE FULL WITH OUTER, ASPIRING INNER IS A BIT GREEDY.... THE DOOR OF META PHYSICS OPENS WHEN THE DOOR OF MATERIAL PHYSICS IS CLOSED PERMANENTLY....

IT IS DIFFICULT TO CURE PEOPLE HABITUATED WITH SUSPICION..

NONE IS ASKED TO LEAVE THE MATERIAL WORLD.... THE INTENTION IS ITS JUST A MINISCULE PART OF LIFE....YOU HAVE TO REALISE THIS... THE DOOR OF CRAVING FOR A MATERIALISTIC WORLD MUST CEASE PERMANENTLY.... AS LONG AS THE CRAVING REMAINS, THE METAPHYSICAL IS NOT ON THE SCENE... WHEN THE CRAVING STOPS, THEN YOU CAN FIND THE DOOR TO THE META PHYSICAL WORLD OPENING... MATERIAL PHYSICS IS OUTER...META PHYSICS IS INNER... INNER IS YOUR CORE...INNER IS THE REALITY... OUTER IS JUST ILLUSORY...

IT WAS A SUNNY DAY.... I JUST PARKED MY CAR NEAR SOME BUSHES ON THE ROAD.... I WAS ABOUT TO WALK IN TO THE FOREST.... MY CLOSE FRIEND SRI. RAMANATHAN CHETTIAR WAS WAITING ON THE ROAD..HIS ESTATE IS CLOSE BY.. I SPENT SOME TIME TALKING TO HIM... I HAD SOME PRAYOGAM TO DO AND SO I WAS DEPENDENT ON CHETTIAR FOR SOME MATERIALS....

CHETTIAR....YESTERDAY EVENING, I HAVE INSTRUCTED MY SECOND SON TO DELIVER ALL MATERIALS IN ANOTHER 4 DAYS TIME... HE SAID HE WILL CERTAINLY DO IT....

ME...WOW....WONDERFUL CHETTIAR.... YOU ALWAYS KEEP UP YOUR WORD.... IN MY LIFE TIME YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW NOBLE PERSONS WITH WHOM I HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED... ITS A BLESSING OF THE LORD.....

CHETTIAR....BUT YOU DID NOT KEEP UP YOUR WORD....

ME...CHETTIAR, WITH MY MASTER'S BLESSING AND LORD'S GRACE TILL DATE I HAVE NOT GONE BACK ON MY WORD.... I DID TELL YOU THAT WE WILL MEET ON THE D-DAY.... I DID NOT SAY WHERE OR WHEN.... TO DAY IS YOUR D-DAY AND I HAVE SEEN YOU.... CHETTIAR, TODAY I AM GOING IN FOR A PRAYOGAM... SUDDHI IS VERY GOOD IN THIS PLACE... SO I THOUGHT ITS BETTER TO MEET YOU HERE INSTEAD OF YOUR PLACE... BY SEEING YOU IN THIS PLACE WHERE AKSHARAS ARE GOOD, YOU WILL BE REACHING YOUR ANCESTORS (PITRUS) WITHOUT ANY HASSLE... SO I KNEW YOU WILL COME HERE TO SEE ME BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE FROM THIS COSMETIC WORLD....

I COULD VISUALISE THE SOUL SRI. RAMANATHAN CHETTIAR PEACEFULLY TRAVELLING TO ITS ANCESTRAL WORLD....

LORD'S GRACE...

HEART IS MY WAY.... I DONT BELONG TO MIND.... INTELLECT IS ALIEN TO ME.... BUT WITH LORD'S GRACE, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH INTELLIGENCE AS MY MOTHER..

A STUDENT IN THE EXAMINATION HALL SAID....

'THIS QUESTION PAPER IS TOO EASY..... WHAT DOES THE EXAMINER THINK? I DONT NEED THIS KIND OF CHARITY.... I AM GOING TO GIVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO THE EXAMINER TO BETTER HIS CHALLENGE TO ME'.....

THE STUDENT WALKS OUT OF THE HALL WITHOUT ANSWERING THE EXAM.....

LOL...

HE..... GURUJI, SHE MISSES ME A LOT....

ME.....PROBABLY STILL SHE HAS NOT GOT A REPLACEMENT.....

IT IS CLEARLY ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE NOT FORGIVEN YOU, KEEP REMINDING YOU THAT THEY HAVE FORGIVEN YOU.....

THIS IS INTERESTING.....

A. SATYA YUGA....FIGHT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS...DEVAS & ASURAS....

B. TRETA YUGA...(RAMAYAN).....RAMA FOUGHT RAVANA.... FIGHT BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES.... BHARATH & LANKA....

C. DWAPARA YUGA...(MAHABHARAT)... FIGHT BETWEEN PANDAVAS & KAURAVAS.... SAME FAMILY....

D. KALI YUGA.... INSIDE EVRY INDIVIDUAL THE GOOD & THE EVIL FIGHT....

SO FROM FIGHT BETWEEN THE TWO WORLDS TO FIGHT BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES TO FIGHT WITHIN THE FAMILY TO FIGHT WITHIN THE INDIVIDUALS.....

SISUPALA..... KRISHNA IS RUNNING AWAY EVERY TIME WHEN HE WAGES WAR WITH YOU, JARASANDH..... WHAT A GREAT WARRIOR YOU ARE....

JARASANDHA.... SISUPALA, EVERY OCCASION, I FEEL IT IS A DRAMA.... I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT LORD KRISHNA IS NOT CAPABLE OF DEFEATING ME.... EVERY TIME, I GO EAGERLY TO THE BATTLE FIELD HOPING THAT LORD KRISHNA WILL KILL ME, SO THAT I CAN ATTAIN MOKSHA.... IN MY VICTORY I GET DISAPPOINTED....

EVEN RAKSHASAS LONGED TO DIE AT THE HANDS OF THE LORD... IT LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST PLAYED THEIR ROLE.... WE ALL TALK ABOUT GOOD, BUT NEVER PLAY THAT ROLE.... IN FACT TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE THE NEGATIVE JUST DOES THE JOB EXPECTED OF IT AND HENCE IS FIRM IN ITS DUTY... SO MOKSHA FOR RAKSHASAS LOOK JUSTIFIED?

ONLY PEOPLE WHOM YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN CONNECTION WITH JUDGE YOUR ACTIONS.... THOUGH IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS TO INDULGE IN SUCH AN ACT OF INDECENCY, THEY CARE DAMN... YOU HAVE TO IGNORE THE ACTS OF SUCH PEOPLE FOR THEY ARE UNCONSCIOUS.... I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE DROPPING INSPECTION AND JUDGMENT ONCE THEY BECOME AWARE OF THEMSELVES... SO LEARN TO IGNORE THE ACTS OF SUCH PEOPLE BUT DON'T IGNORE THEM, FOR SOME DAY THEY WILL BECOME CONSCIOUS AND LAUGH AT THEIR OWN STUPIDITY....

LONG AGO, I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET A GREAT SAINT FROM THE LAND OF TIBET.... THERE WERE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WITH ME AND HE HAD HIS TEAM WITH HIM..... WE BOTH SAT FACING EACH OTHER.... WE JOINTLY MEDITATED FOR AN HOUR.... AT THE END WE BOTH BURST IN TO LAUGHTER, HUGGED EACH OTHER....ONCE AGAIN WE BURST IN TO LAUGHTER AND LEFT THE PLACE....

ONE OF THE PERSONS WITH ME ASKED.... YOU BOTH MEDITATED, THAT I COULD UNDERSTAND.... BUT WHY YOU BOTH BURST IN TO LAUGHTER FIRST, HUGGED AND THEN BURST ONCE AGAIN IN TO LAUGHTER?

ME... HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT WE BOTH MEDITATED?

HE.... U SAT FACING EACH OTHER, CLOSED YOUR EYES AND WERE STILL FOR AN HOUR.....

ME.... SO ACCORDING TO YOU, IF WE SIT, CLOSE OUR EYES AND BE STILL FOR AN HOUR IS MEDITATION?

HE... THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE SAY....

ME... SO YOU GO BY WHAT OTHERS SAY AND DERIVE AN UNDERSTANDING FROM THAT? YOU CALL THAT UNDERSTANDING? YOUR UNDERSTANDING SEEMS TO BE BASED ON THE STATEMENT OF SOME ONE AND NOT FROM YOUR OWN INNATE EXPERIENCE? SO YOU CONCLUDE EVERYTHING BASED ON OTHERS BODY LANGUAGE?

HE...OKAY GURUJI..... AT LEAST TELL ME WHY YOU BOTH LAUGHED?

ME... WE LAUGHED AT OUR PAST STUPIDITIES....

HE... WHY TWICE?

ME...I LAUGHED THEN BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WILL BE ASKING SUCH STUPID QUESTIONS AND HE LAUGHED BECAUSE HIS TEAM MEMBERS ALSO WERE TO ASK SUCH STUPID QUESTIONS... SO INITIALLY WE LAUGHED AT OUR PAST STUPIDITIES AND THE FINAL LAUGH WAS FOR THE STUPIDITIES WHICH OUR DISCIPLES ARE GOING TO COMMIT BY QUESTIONING THEIR MASTERS....

JUST HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN THE LORD.... HE WILL USE YOU AS A TOOL TO IMPLEMENT WHAT HE WANTS TO DO...KEEP YOUR HEART WIDE OPEN TO RECEIVE HIM....EVERYTHING HAPPENS WITH HIS GRACE.... ANYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING IS PURELY HIS MERCY AND GRACE...LORD'S MERCY AND GRACE....

LEARN TO SEE THE BRIGHT SIDE OF YOUR LIFE.... SOME TIMES PROBLEMS DO CREEP UP.... JUST HAVE PATIENCE.... THERE WILL BE ALWAYS A SOLUTION AROUND.... SOME OF US KEEP ON COMPLAINING... IT'S MORE OF A HABIT.... THEY ENJOY LIVING MISERABLE AND DON'T WANT TO SEE THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE...IN ONE WAY THEY TOO ARE VALUABLE FOR THEY TEACH YOU HOW NOT TO BE.... I PITY THESE MASOCHISTS....

WHEN YOU SURRENDER TO AN UNRELIABLE SOURCE, IT LEADS TO SLAVERY....

WHEN YOU SURRENDER TO A SADGURU, IT LEADS TO FREEDOM & LIBERATION....

BE HUMBLE.... HAVE HUMILITY.... RESPECT EVERY ONE AS A HUMAN AND NOT ON THE BASIS OF HIS STATUS AS RICH.... NOT ON THE BASIS OF ANY RELIGION, RACE, CASTE, CREED, OR SEX.... RESPECT THEM.... REGARD THEM.... LOVE THEM.... RESPECT ON ACCOUNT OF LOVE IS ETERNAL... RESPECT ON ACCOUNT OF FEAR IS EPHEMERAL....

TILL COUPLE OF YEARS BACK, I HAD A HABIT.... EVERY YEAR FOR A WEEK I USED TO TRAVEL TO AN UNKNOWN PLACE AND DO SOME SMALL WORK... LIKE WORKING A TEA SHOP, SMALL ROAD SIDE DHABA, ASSISTING SOME VEGETABLE VENDOR ETC., I WILL JUST TELL THEM THAT I DONT HAVE ANY ONE AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO WORK AND SUPPORT MYSELF.... I USE TO WASH UTENSILS IN THE TEA SHOP, OR SERVE TEA, TIFFIN TO CUSTOMERS.... I USE TO MOVE IN THAT ENVIRONMENT TALKING TO COLLEAGUES AND CUSTOMERS... THEY USE TO SHARE MANY THINGS WITH ME... THIS GAVE ME A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE REALITIES OF LIFE.... THIS ALSO GAVE ME A WIDE EXPOSURE TO THE KIND OF PROBLEMS WHICH PEOPLE FACE IN DAY TO DAY LIFE... I NEEDED THIS KIND OF A TRAINING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND PEOPLE FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS OF SOCIETY... IT ALSO TEACHES A LOT OF HUMILITY, HUMBLENESS, KINDNESS AND ABOVE ALL PATIENCE.... NOW A DAYS SINCE I DONT FIND MUCH TIME AT MY DISPOSAL I STILL MAKE IT A POINT TO GO TO UNKNOWN PLACES AND DO WORK AT LEAST FOR TWO DAYS IN A YEAR..... LORD HAS BEEN SO KIND TO ME TO GIVE ME A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THE PROCESS....LORD'S WILL, MERCY & GRACE...

HEARING TO EVERY ONE IS POSSIBLE.... BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LISTEN TO EVERY ONE....

I KNOW A PERSON WHO IS STINKINGLY RICH.....EVERY TIME I SEE HIM HE WILL SAY.....

GURUJI, I WANT TO DO SOME THING TO HELP THE POOR KIDS FOR BETTER EDUCATION.....

LAST MONTH, I HAD GONE TO SEE HIM....

HE SAID...'GURUJI'...

I SAID....'U NEED NOT SAY ANYTHING FURTHER.... I KNOW WHAT IT IS.... YOU WANT TO DO SOME THING TO HELP THE POOR KIDS FOR BETTER EDUCATION'.....

I FURTHER SAID...'U DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT.... PLEASE START DOING THAT SOME THING WHICH YOU WANT TO DO'....

YESTERDAY I WAS INFORMED THAT HE PASSED AWAY.....

HIS DESIRE REMAINS UNFULFILLED....

SINCE THE CHANCE IS NOW MISSED, HIS NEXT CHANCE IS LIKELY TO BE AFTER 442 YEARS....

WHEN YOU ARE DESIROUS OF DOING SOME THING GOOD FOR THE SOCIETY AT LARGE, RESPECT THAT THOUGHT FORTHWITH AND DO IT AT THE EARLIEST....ALL OTHER THINGS CAN AFFORD TO WAIT...

SHE.... MY MOTHER IN LAW SHOUTS AT ME EVERY DAY, GURUJI... I FEEL LIKE SHOUTING BACK AT HER....

ME... IGNORE HER ACT...SHE IS UNCONSCIOUS... A CONSCIOUS PERSON NEVER SHOUTS.... DONT SHOUT BACK AT HER.... DONT THROW A STONE TOWARDS THE DRAINAGE, FOR IT WILL SPLASH BACK ON YOUR FACE....

CONTENTMENT IN PLEASURE AND PAIN IS A SIGN OF DIVINITY... IT IS SHEER JOY TO SEE SUCH PEOPLE.....

ONCE MASTER SUYEN ASKED.... WHAT IS THE HIGHLIGHT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ME?

I GATHERED COURAGE TO SAY....MASTER, HOW DO YOU SEE TWO IN THAT WHICH IS ONE?

MASTER SUYEN WAS IN TEARS AND HUGGED ME TIGHTLY.....

THE STAIN LESS AND FORM LESS REALITY IS THE TRUE ESSENCE OF ALL FORMS....

WHEN THE JIVA, THE INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS, A SMALL SPEC OF THE ULTIMATE REALITY CALLED UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS CAN TAKE A FORM WITH FLESH AND BLOOD AND BE BORN IN THIS WORLD, WHY WILL THE UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF EVERYTHING WILL NOT BE BORN IN FLESH AND BLOOD?.... THIS IS THE SECRET OF AVATARAS...

I DON'T MIND SITTING IN YOUR HEARTS..BUT ON ONE CONDITION.... HEART SHOULD NOT BE SMALL...HEART MUST BE LARGE... KINDLY MAKE IT LARGE SO THAT I DON'T GET SUFFOCATED WHEN I AM SEATED IN YOUR HEART....

YOU HAVE A VALID POINT TO RAISE IN A FORUM? RAISE....IF YOUR POINT IS A VALUABLE ONE, THERE WILL BE NO NECESSITY TO RAISE YOUR VOICE.....

SHE PLAYED WITH HIS EMOTIONS.... TODAY HE HAS STARTED IGNORING HER.... POOR GIRL.... SHE FEELS A LOT... I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS...BEING IGNORED BY SOME ONE WHO MEANS WORLD TO YOU IS THE WORST FEELING....

JUST BECAUSE SOME ONE HAS HURT YOU, DOES NOT MEAN THAT ITS A LICENCE TO POUNCE ON THEM BACK...

TWENTY FIVE YEARS BACK I NEEDED SOME HELP.... WHEN I APPROACHED HIM, HE SAID, DONT COME NEAR ME... YOU GO YOUR WAY....I GO MY WAY'......

LAST MONTH, I SAW HIM IN THE AIRPORT....

HE WAS STANDING IN THE QUEUE FOR SECURITY CHECK.... I JUST SWITCHED OVER TO ANOTHER QUEUE..... HE CAME NEAR ME... I SMILED AND SAID, ' HEY, I AM NOT IN YOUR QUEUE DEAR.... I AM IN A DIFFERENT QUEUE.... I AM JUST FOLLOWING WHAT YOU SAID...'...

THEN IN THE LOUNGE WE HAD A CUP OF TEA AND IN 45 MINUTES HE RELAYED HIS STORY OF THE PAST 25 YEARS....

EVERY ONE DONT REMAIN THE SAME.... EVERY THING DOESN'T REMAIN THE SAME...... LIFE KEEPS MOVING ON AND KEEPS CHANGING....
