Just for laugh - Obsessive responses

It had been very long since I met my good old friend. There was no specific reason for us for not being able to meet for so long. It was just that, we never felt like missing someone. But I was blessed with too many occasions, such as family functions, Association meetings, party functions and so on, to be in company with my friends. One such occasion, I mention here is more memorable for the simple reason that, it brought me big laughter.
It was a family function of one of my friend. When I was looking out for my other friends to turn up, a very close friend of mine (who was my class mate and my best family friend) entered the big function hall with broad smile. I was juiced up the moment I saw him. I rushed to him and we exchanged our affection by greeting each other. We talked about everything that had happened to each one us in humourous way. We spent about an hour by chatting. A few days before our meeting, I was told that his wife is under going medical treatment. From then on my wife was insisting me to make a visit to his house. I wanted to make use of this meeting to fix an appropriate time for the visit. So I asked him,
"Hey dear, When will you be free so that I can visit your home?" without mentioning the intention of my visit. I purposefully avoided to tell the reason.
After a few minutes of pause, he replied
"You are welcome at any time if your visit is not for Amway campaigning" (multi level marketing)
I was speechless for while, and after I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Laugh-2

There are few apprentice trainees in my office. Since I mentor them, I used to tell lot of moral stories along with main stream training schedule. My aim has been to bring them up as all rounders. Incidentally, A mega book exhibition has been operating in my town since last week. Myself being fond of book reading, I wanted to pass on this habit to my trainees as well. So I asked them to make a trip to the exhibition and buy books according to their wishes. They agreed to make it after looking at each other once.
The next day when I went to my office, in a chorus they asked me,
"Didn't you come to book exhibition , Sir?"
I replied, "No, I was there for three long hours browsing through. Where were you all?"
They said, "Sir, we were searching for you in every stall, but..." and they continued,
"Sir, which was your stall?"
Oh God, I laughed and laughed and laughed. Once again.

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
