சச்சின் - ஒரு சகாப்தம்


பலமான தென் ஆப்பிரிக்காவுற்கு எதிராக குவாலியரில் நடந்த ஒரு நாள் கிரிக்கெட் போட்டியில் மீண்டும் ஒரு சரித்திரம் படைத்திருக்கிறார் சச்சின். ஒரு நாள் கிரிக்கட் வரலாற்றில் முதன் முறையாக இருநூறு ரன் என்ற சிகரத்தில் தடம் பதித்திருக்கிறார். வெறும் 147 பந்துகளில் அந்த சாதனையை செய்திருக்கிறார். இந்த போட்டியை பார்த்த அனைவரும் மீண்டும் இப்படி ஒரு ஆட்டத்தை காண பல ஆண்டுகள் காத்திருக்க வேண்டியிருக்கும். பாகிஸ்தான் வீரர் சயீத் அன்வரின் முந்தைய சாதனையான 194 ரன்னை முறியடித்த சச்சினை அதே பதினைந்து வயது துள்ளலோடு இன்றும் பார்க்க முடிவதுதான் அவருடைய வெற்றிக்கு காரணம். கிரிக்கெட்டின் மீது அவர் கொண்டுள்ள அளவில்லாத பற்று அவரை மேலும் பல சாதனைகளை செய்ய தூண்டும் என்பதில் சிறிதும் சந்தேகமில்லை.
வாழ்க சச்சின்.

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
