How to approach Life?

"சில நாழிகை வாழும் சிற்றீசல் கூட தீபங்கள் தேடும்".

Ask a clock to "tick" 60 times in a minute, 3600 times in an hour, 86400 times in a day, and 31,536,000 times in a year, and see the clock . It would have stopped ticking already even before you finish your speech. Why to complicate it so much. Simply ask it to just "tick" once in a second. See the clock ticking for several years without stopping. Isn't it so simple? This is as simple as this - Live your life at this moment, you will live happily. Anyway you have to face whatever appears before you. What is the use of hiding yourself or fearing to face. Whatever you suffer at this moment, is going to be a past next moment. Learn to live in the present moment, moment after moment without worrying about the future, which is only in your imagination, and stop to regret about the past, which you can't rectify now. The very basic nature of our being is to be happy. Even the plants, animal and other beings do that. Why not human beings. Throw some seeds at your backyard and see the next morning, small sprouts would have appeared. Call it nature, faith, gods will, whatever, it is the same for us as well. Every moment is new and fresh. Look at you on the mirror. How beautiful are you. How cheerful are you. If you can't, who else can. Be happy and make others happy. Let your very presence make this whole world happy.

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

The Garden Fire

Sundays sometimes make you lazy. You would like to do many things but endup doing nothing.The whole day would be passed without doing anything worthfully. But, ofcourse, trivial works such as cleaning your wardrobe, small repair jobs like, tightening the screws of your cycle seat, lubricating the scooter, door hinges etc. would be carried out without much fuss. I just looked out at the garden. It was untidy. Lot of trashes ( the once ornamental stuff of trees, now fallen leaves) covered the garden area. I decided to clean it and succeeded. After an hour of sweating, I dumped all the garbage and set fire on it. What a beautiful view!. I glanced, then stared at the flame. It was blazing. I felt a sense of pride in my mind. "Ah, How brilliant is the fire that I have set". I just sat down and looked it until all the garbage is burnt. My thoughts turned inside. Just setting fire to the material waste had given me so much satisfaction. We have dumped so much of trash in our mind in
