எந்த குழந்தையும் நல்ல குழந்தைதான்

Recently one of my friends expressed his worries about his son who is just over eleven years of age. I understood by his words that his son is annoyingly playful. He said that he has tried for several years to correct him but miserably failed and he looked tired.
"Every time he comes back with broken pieces of the toy that I bought for him on previous day" and went on "He doesn't stop there, but climbs on the loft, the tree and what not. I am afraid that one day he 's gonna break his legs..."
I stopped him at one point and said,
"All children are like this only, Don't worry, he will be alright soon." But he seemed unconvinced.
"No; No; My son is not like other children, He is mischievous. You come and see our suffering. Every day I am praying god to him 'Budhdhi'." after an array of words he started to move away. I understood that, it was not the right time to pass my advice.
I feel that all of us are wearing different kinds of masks for different situations. We wear 'A father mask' while dealing with our child at one time, and 'A teacher mask' at other time, but we never wear 'A child mask'. I think it is necessary for us to wear this mask and watch our children while they are playing. I am sure we all will enjoy their play. But having grown up old we tend to forget the child in us. This is the reason why we don't enjoy the playfulness of our children, but complain as mischief. If my son doesn't climb on the tree today, then when will he?
Just allow him to climb and see him develop the courage to conquer The Everest. Just allow him break the toy and see him become A scientist. In every action of them, they are learning a new thing. It is our fault to blindfold our eyes and complaining them. In our life span of about 80 years only 10 - 12 years are childhood to enjoy. Let us watch them enjoying their childhood.

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
