Just think about it; if they really think all their sins are washed away in riiver Ganges, then why would they worry about any rites and rituals after that? Truth is, none of them have any faith ' a dip in river Ganges' would wash away their sins.



Cheers!


I remember once Sathya Sai Baba joked about this.He said many think that bathing in Ganga takes away one's sins.
Baba said the sins would be waiting on a tree nearby when the person is having a bath in the river and once the person comes out of the river the sins jump back on him again!!

I really liked how Baba jokes about most things...I remember once He also said that people see good time for everything especially when it comes to donating money but when it comes to receiving money any time is a good time!!

Baba also said once..that many people keep too many fasts on and off in the hope that it will help ward off their sins but Baba said that will only make us land in the hospital faster if we do not eat in moderation.
 

I read an interesting post in another forum! The question asked is this: When we believe that the soul which departs from this

world will enter the next body soon, why do we perform 'sraddham' every year for the soul which is already living on earth?

Any thoughts? :decision:

P.S:

My maternal grandma passed away soon after she gave birth to my fourth uncle. Her 'sraddham' is performed for the past 82 years!!

Wonder how many births her soul would have taken meanwhile!! :dizzy:

Even though my mum is a Brahmin..her family they do not have the tradition to preform Shraddham after the 1st year death anniversary.

No one does Shraddham for my maternal grandfather who died when he was only some 45 years old.

Their family belief is each individual has their own Karma and would be on their journey and hence no need for Shraddha.
Even my mums relatives in India also do not have the practice of Shraddam.

I guess there are different school of thoughts.
 
............ just focus of trying to keep God in our mind all the while with the hope that God will be our very last thought too. .........
Very true. 'kAm karthE rahO; nAm jabthE rahO' is a line from a bhajan song. There is a poem in ThiruvAymozhi:

'appOthaikku ippOthE solli vaithEn, arangathu aravaNai paLLliyanE', in which the Alwar sings -

"In my old age, Oh Lord Ranganatha, I'll be sick, tired and unconscious. My throat will choke and I cannot speak.
My body will not let me remember you. So, Lord I chant your name now itself. Please consider this chanting towards that time!" :pray2:​
 
Hello all ,a good news .MR.AMITHAB BACHAN ,BIG-B,is being invited to hold the olympics torch.wow ,what a great identification for ,to INDIA.:thumb:.His dress sense,attitude which I watched in early morning news channel too good.
 
When I am older and done with seeing patients I want to write a book called "What I really wanted to tell my patients!"

Most patients have no idea what goes on in a doctor mind.

Ok some years back I had this patient who an irritating specimen who was asking irrelevant questions.

I was about to check his ear with the Otoscope and he was asking me why my Otoscope still ran on two size C batteries and not using the rechargeable battery.

You see I have my own reasons why I prefer not using the rechargeable model cos if you forget to charge it you can't use it.

But this guy was still bugging me to know why I chose this model.

Guy: Doc why are you not using the rechargeable model.

Dr R: (ignores his question and proceeds to examine patient)

Guy: Doc I would like to know why you are not using the rechargeable model.

Dr R: I have my own reasons.

Guy: What are your reasons?I want to know them now.


So get the picture now?

In my mind I was getting pissed and I felt like saying "hey is this your father's property or what that you want to know why I have personal choices..am I going to ask you why your father chose your mother to father his children and why your mother chose to give birth to a person like you?"

But becos I am a doctor...I had to only say this:


Dr R: As said I have my personal reasons for my choice and the most important thing is the battery whether rechargeable or not is not going to change the diagnosis..can I now proceed to examine your ear fully?
 
.......... I felt like saying "hey is this your father's property or what that you want to know why I have personal choices..am I going to ask you why your father chose your mother to father his children and why your mother chose to give birth to a person like you?"...........
Renu! My unlimited imagination (my Astro sign - Gemini) translated this into Sing- Chennai senthamizh and I started :pound:

Thank you very much! You made my day!! :yo:

I don't do tharpanam in every Ammavasai..eventhough my better half is of the opinion that all my troubles are because of that... I don't care...

I do perform the annual Srardham for my Mother and Father..I am against it but the Veshties, thundus, the priest charges etc goes to some brahmins.. whether they bless or curse..On any normal day we don't do such donations to anyone..so I consider these Srardam days are just help to somebody..both material & moneywise...

Dear TVK Sir!

I am reminded of my friend's joke... When some vAdhyArs mumble the mantrAs, she used to comment,

'அவா ஜபிக்கறாளா இல்ல சபிக்கறாளான்னு தெரியலையே!'
:noidea:

Sowbagyavathy Raji Ram, Greetings.

What does your astro sign got to with it? ( I am gemini too. It is a genuine question!).

The translation for you here -

Renu - .... I felt like saying "hey is this your father's property or what that you want to know why I have personal choices..am I going to ask you why your father chose your mother to father his children and why your mother chose to give birth to a person like you?"....

close translation - ஏன்யா? இது என்னா உங்கப்பன் ஊட்டுதா இன்னா? நான் இன்னா பண்ணா உனுக்கு என்னாயா? கஸ்மாலம்! சொம்மா சத்தாச்சிகினு கீரையே?
என் இஷ்டம்யா! நான் இன்னா உங்கப்பன் ஏன் உங்கம்மாவ கட்டிகினான், அவ ஏன் உன்ன பெத்து போட்டா அப்பிடின்னு கேட்டுன்கீரனா?
கம்முனு குந்துயா!

Chhers!

This is too polite!!LOL
I was thinking worse in my mind.
 
I know. It would have started with the word 'பேமானி!'.. I don't really want to shock this forum! I know exactly what you would have liked to say!

Cheers!

பேமானி..still polite.
I can't type the word here!!LOL

பேமானி..I feel is actually a Hindi Arabic combo word.

Beiman means Without Iman.

So it is still polite.

I can guess that word. I would have put that word in the string somewhere in the middle!

But I have to say this to you.... you are a bad girl! :nono:

Dear Raghy,

Haven't you heard about First Impression is the Lasting Impression.
So same way..the 1st word itself has to leave a maximum impact.

Dear Raghy,

I must tell you this funny incident.

Once I went out of my clinic for a few minutes to go get a drink.
When I was out a phone call came for me and I got to know much later that it was my former classmate who is an ENT Surgeon who had called.

My malay nurse took the call and told the caller that Dr Renuka has gone out for while and will come back shortly and she asked for the callers name.

Then the caller gave his name as Dr.$%#@#(tamil swear word).

Since she was a Malay girl..she didn't know the meaning and innocently wrote it down and even asked him to spell it for her and the ENT surgeon also spelled it for her.

Then when I walked into the clinic..my nurse innocently reads the message to me at the counter and said.."Dr.$%#@# had called"

I was shocked and said 'What??"

My nurse thought she had pronounced an Indian names incorrectly and started saying it even louder and slowly she said "Dr.$ % # @ # had called"

I started laughing and told her "OMG do you know what that means?"

She was "No..its some Indian name isn't it?"

I said "No..it's a swear word"

I knew for sure which doctor had called cos that word was used frequently by that ENT surgeon even when he was in college!
 
Dear Raghy,

Haven't you heard about First Impression is the Lasting Impression.
So same way..the 1st word itself has to leave a maximum impact.

I work differently. My initial approach would be very polished, almost give an impression I am an easy push over... Then slowly build up. Don't forget, in the case of boys often times it gets physical. The word with lasting impact would usually accompany either a head-butting or an elbowing ( not a punch as shown in the movies. Before a physical, the boys would have closed each other's personal spaces).

I think we are two crazy persons. Here we are discussing about 'pettai rowdy language and pettai fights' and in a different thread, simultaneously discuss about the power of mind. I think we need our head checked out. ( I may get a session with Nicky!).

Cheers!

.. 1. What does your astro sign got to with it? ( I am gemini too. It is a genuine question!).

2. The translation for you here - ............ .........
1. First of all, you're a great thinker. Many of the world's intellectuals are Geminis. Your mind is insatiable—it's so quick

on the uptake that you can't understand why everyone else is just now grasping what you got in a split second. In fact,

by the time it takes them to catch up with you, your mind has become bored by the inactivity. You've already turned

and twisted the knowledge around just to see what would happen, and to keep your mind active.


Some people mistake this playful brilliance as deception or dishonesty, because they can't keep up with you. But you're

just trying to keep things interesting. Your mind needs to be fed with new ideas on a constant basis. Having recognized this

at an early age, you've become remarkably adept at satisfying it. Wit is your forte. You love to laugh, because you're so good

at sharp humor. You're particularly fond of puns and wordplay—Mercury rules writing, language, and a love of words—

so you're quite the social charmer.


You're popular, and you know it. You enjoy people, and you love to watch them to keep your mind busy. You're at your best

at parties, bars, the office water cooler—anywhere you can find people with whom you can laugh. You thrive on gossip and

news—you need information constantly, more even than food.


You're an avid reader—again, because of your need for ideas and your love of words. In fact, you're one of the few people who

can read a book, watch TV, and talk on the phone all at the same time—you relish thinking on several levels at once. Many

Geminis are multi-talented. :high5:


2. My translation was much more forceful!! :blah:
