review.

Its almost quarter of the year gone by and its time to review the new year resolutions. What was meant to be started. what actually has and the progress made what changes you need to make and what adjustments. what has been achieved. is it satisfactory. actually the major portion say 40 to 45 % must have been accomplished.as time goes by other things not anticipated will take over the time and then by the year end you will find very little time for what you had programmed.nothing lost if little progress is made in the area of new learning you have ample time to start even now but it must be on war footing. dedicated to discipline and timing at regular intervals let us see what good progress has been made to learn the srinivasa gadyam i am able to read it quiet fluently now. may not be able to by heart but can atleast follow on audio now. try to squeaze in more work for sure. wake up on time do not be lazy. take the example of great leaders.
old entry few years ago but worth the review now too.

some memories

Almost all temples are situated close to a water body or a few kms away. when we first moved into this house way back in 2005 i was glad that we had a terrific view of the sea as our house was situated on the mouth of the river bed where the river adayar meets the sea. soon we had a good family friend Suresh who got us the idol of thayar made to order from Kumbakonam. what a blessing it turned out to be at the official house warming when we had the Sudarshan Homa preceding the house warming, The great devotee Malola Kannan got his almost 300 year old  Perumal idol to pair with our Thayar how blessed we felt. But after the festivities he took his Perumal back and I missed the Lord. by the grace of Thayar she found her pair at the cottage industries exhibition where our Perumal was. the Lord seemed to enjoy himself and blessed us plenty with little hurdles we crossed many a testing time but the larger picture was the joys and blessings which came rolling in. after the initial tension of friends and relatives telling us the old house was good etc as Narsim fell ill soon after we moved to this house. we who did not believe in Vastu got the vastu for the house read and were told it had a very good vastu and that only good would follow and so it did. our climb and joys took multi leaps and we saw in a couple of years the children married business growing and general joy and happiness multiplying leaps and bounds but before every major change there was a equal fearful period of gloom. but some how we seemed to have breezed through all the troubles that looked or loomed large today in the great canvas of life those gloomy periods were only stepping stones to the great joy that was behind. it taught us important lessons in life to lie low till the tide crosses great and happy times must arrive. stay positive and be thankful for what has fallen on your palm/lap etc. The house is a blessing and the Lord seems to like it. previously i had only a single pair of Lord and thayar and saw the Srirangam, Kanchi and Tirumala perumal in the same idol. but they all wanted to be represented here and so it happened through Nandhini and Navnith who decided to move in. Then to live with us came the Lords of Kanchi, Tirumala Melkote and Guruvayur. atleast i mentally think so they are not replicas of these Gods but to my minds eye they seem to represent them she had such beautiful idols that soon they settled into my house she also had a great Mandapam which they had. it looks so grand. Krishna Nathana adinar on Adhisesha which to me is Guruvayur perumal is not in the picture. the Tirumala perumal is flanked on either side by Thayars. the one originally i had is Sriranga perumal with Ranganayaki Thayar. next in height is Kachi Vardaraj perumal with Perundevi thayar. then the sitting Narasimha with Thayar sitting on his lap is Melkote  Narasimha perumal on the little hill the visit a few years ago led us to much happiness. Krishna dancing on adhisesha is a reminder of Guruvayur appan. and each has a smaller utsava murthy. i will not be suprised if the grand children will have perumal and thayar utsavams in the house itself.

ever thirsty

No amount of reading and learning can satisfy the ever thirsty. there is no ultimate all all know being for each of us its just a stage in life. lessons are being given every day its for us to be open to them and accept it. there is no bench mark of reaching a stage it can happen to any one any time the effort should be sincere for every moment is a learning experience. every being however large or small it is immaterial, rich or poor does not matter. every moment one has to perform consciously. for we are all doing his behest let us work as we pray for work indeed is the bodys best prayer to the Divine. Sri Aurobindo.

love comes unseen we only see it go.

Infuse your life with action do not wait for it to happen. Make it happen make your own future. Make grace happen.

Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It the smile of a child, The love of a mother, the Joy of a Father, The togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of Man the victory of a just cause the triumph of truth.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your Life. Be happy now do not wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is happening to you now it has no power to stop you from having a amazing future. If you will walk by faith in God. God loves you he wants you to live with  victory so you can possess his promise for your life today.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you are going to live your life.
