                               The Divine Mother – Gayathri

Gayathri is the epitome of the Vedas.  It is a Divine Elixir.  This sacred Mantra has been recited in the Cavern of the hearts by millions of people for over several centuries.  There is no prayer more comprehensive, more majestic, more effective and more blissful than Gayathri.

Gayathri Mantra is called Song Saviour as it protects him, who chants it.  Gayathri is the Mantra of the Mantras.  It is the unique Mantra of purity, unity and divinity.

Manu says, There is no higher Mantra than Gayathri, there is no higher deity than ones Mother.  It is out of Gayathri the Vedas have come and into Gayathri the Vedas have converged.  That is why this sacred verse adorns all the Vedas.

It occurs in Rigveda (III. 62.10) in Yajur Veda (III 35, XXII, 9, XXXVI, 3) and in Samaveda (1462).

Food for thought – PURITY IN ACTION

Purity in Action

The good external help confers is wordly gain;

by action good men every needed gift obtain.

 

From action evermore itself restrain,

of glory and of good that yeilds no gain.

 

Who tell themselves that nobler things shall yet be won,

All deeds that dim the light of glory must they shun.

 

Though troubles press,no shameful deed they do,

Whose eyes the ever-during vision view.

 

Do nought that soul repenting must deplore,

if thou hast sinned, tis well if thou dost sin no more.

—- Thiruvalluvar

–Translation by REV. G.U.pope.

 

Food for Thought

The greatest wealth is to live content with little.

Just do what must be done.  This may not be happiness but it is greatness.

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

That Some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

Food for thought – Medicine

MEDICINE – PRESCRIBED BY THIRUVALLUVAR  –

English Translation REV. G.U.Pope

  1. The learned books count three, with wind as first, of these,

As any one prevail or fail, twill cause disease.

2. No need of medicine to heal your body’s pain,

if, what you ate before digested well, you eat again.

3. Who has a body gained may long the gift retain,

if, food digested well, in measure due he eat again.

4. Knowing the food digested well, when hungry prompteth thee,

With constant care, the viands choose that well agree.

5. With self-denial take the well-selected meal;

so shall try frame no sudden sickness feel.

6. On modest temperance as pleasures pure.

So pain attends the greedy epicure.

7. Who largely fees, nor measure of the fire within maintains.

That thoughtless man shall feel unmeasured pains.

8. Disease, its cause, what may abate the ill;

Let each examine these, then use his skill.

9. The habitudes of patient and disease, the crises of the ill;

These must the learned leech think over well, then use his skill.

10. For patient, leech and remedies, and him who waits by patient’s side.

The art of medicine must fourfold code of laws provide.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT – Achievements

ACHIEVEMENT

Image result for medal

The world of achievement has always belonged to the optimist.

Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible.

An achievement is bondage.

It obliges one to a higher achievement.

The achievement of your goal is assured, the moment you commit yourself to it.

Cherish your visions  and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.
