From Notable to Notorious

It is very sad. It really hurts everyone. I have wondered many times about names. When I visit any office or bank or an insurance company or any other place for inquiry or any clarifications, my eyes would rush for their names that appear on the name board. Some of the names would attract me and I would proceed to him or her. I believe many of you will agree with me. Suppose I go to a person named Shantha murthy and ask some question, if he blasts me for no real reason, how I would feel? This happens sometimes. A person named Harichandran might not speak truth at all. But generally our mind processes these little things in a big way and acts. Whenever the reality contradicts our belief, we feel bitten. But this particular bite is so deep and will take long time to recover. When, once famed company 'Satyam computers ltd., is shamed, it severely hurts. "What is in the name?" This question comes to my mind once again. But, why they name a company as 'Satyam', why not 'XYZ' or '123' company. So, Yes. there is something in the name. People have this kind of mindset and trust the company and believe that they are not cheated. How many of the entrepreneurs do follow the ethics before floating an organisation? I am afraid that only few will qualify this. There has to be truth, there has to be faith, there has to be will to succeed, there has to be passion and love before beginning any business.
When I am writing this, I remember that some of my friends had put their money in Satyam computers and had been rewarded heftily. Every time they sell few scrips and buy a motor cycle, a TV, Music system and so on. This was the scenario few years ago. How quickly reversals happen in this world. I pity the poor employees of the company whose monthly salary is not paid yet. I hope their plight is over in short time. They must show courage at this troubled time and bring back Satyam from notorious gangs.

Dharbhai - An article by TRS Iyengar

Image
This article is on one of the practices widely used by Indian Brahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Dharbham or Dharbai.In all functions, auspicious or inauspicious, a performing person needs to wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reason of why it is to be used in the first place. What I learnt from my father is proved to be accurately correct by a Medicine Practitioner. A Doctor named Sadhashiv Rao, once visited my home. When the topic turned to many subjects, I needed to tell him about the Holy Grass namedDharbham. When I told him about the usage and the values, he could not just believe my words. So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, went straight to the clinic to take an x-ray of his palm, by covering his hand with the Dharbham. To his utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60% of the radiation! When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by the Holy Grass,why can it not absorb the ill radiations spread over the atmosph

Namasivaya and Sivayanama - What I read, Want to Share

Image
The origin of Namasivaya and the Sanskrit alphabets according to Tirumular. (verse 891) The Panchakshara Mantra (5-letter mantra) has two aspects: Subtle and Manifest (Suksma and Sthula). Suksma Mantra is Sivayanama .  The manifest Mantra is  NaMaSivaYa . As you may notice the head of the Subtle Mantra is Siva and the tail is  Nama. In the Sthula Mantra the head and the tail are inverted or transposed. Significance: Manifest man-embodied soul (Ya) has the head in Nama meaning he suffers from Na - obscuration (unclear) of spiritual knowledge and Ma (a load of Mummalams: Anava, Kanma and Maya Malas). The liberated man Ya (Jivan Mukta) enjoys Si and Va (Siva and Grace; his NaMa left him. Perfected souls who do not want and will not be subjected to rebirth and suffering  in this world chant SiVaYaNaMa . By this Mantra one invokes Si and Va (Siva and  Grace) to come to Ya (the soul) so that Na and Ma (Tirodhana and Malas) leave the  soul. Siddhars chant the Mantra

A stone in my shoe

Image
It was already late for me. I had to be present on the pulpit before the trainees exactly at 9 a.m. Then it was 8:45. I tightened my shoe lace finally and zoomed in to my car and drove to the seminar venue which is just over 3 Km away from my home. When I pressed the brake pedal for stopping my car outside the seminar hall, I felt that something was pricking the second finger of my right leg. 'Ouch' I felt a little bit of pain, but certainly not required immediate attention. I parked my car and rushed to the seminar hall. For every alternate step of mine, the pricking brooked. 'What could be inside?' My thought rewound about 30 min and replayed from 8:30 a.m but with out success. I looked at my watch. Oh, God. It is 9:00. I virtually ran into the hall and stood on the dais before the trainees. "Good Morning friends...", I started delivering my prepared content. Being a trainer I had to move to every place inside the hall to bring a conducive learning atmosphe
