Lovely couple - Just for laugh


A man and his wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150."The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?"The man replied, "Long ago a man called Jesus Christ died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance.”

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
