[h=1]தனித்திரு! பசித்திரு![/h]
bigstockphoto_man_meditation_1203669.jpg



உலக வாழ்வில் முன்னேற விரும்புவோர்களின்,
உன்னதத்துக்கு உள்ளன மூன்று மந்திரங்கள்;

ஆட்டு மந்தையில் ஒருவனாகாதே – “தனித்திரு!”
அறிவுப் பசியை என்றும் ஒழியாதே – “பசித்திரு!”

எது வந்த போதிலும் எதிர்கொள்ள வேண்டி,
எப்போதும் விழிப்புடனேயே இரு – “விழித்திரு!”

தனித் தன்மையுடனும், அறிவுப் பசியுடனும்,
விழிப்புடனும் இருந்தாலும், மிகவும் தேவை

கொஞ்சம் தனிமை, பசி, உறங்கா விழிப்பு!
விஞ்சும் நம் வாழ்வு, இவற்றால் சிறப்புற்று!

தனித்து இருக்கும்போது மட்டுமே ஒரு
மனிதனின் பல மன அலைகள் அடங்கும்;

உலகத்தில் ஓசைகளில் இருந்து விலகி,
உள்முகமாக அவன் பயணிக்க முடியும்.

உள்முகமாகச் செல்லும் போது தான் அவன்
உள்ளம் தெளியும், உண்மைகள் துலங்கும்.

உய்யும் வழிகள் புரியும்; தானும் உய்ந்து
உலகையும் முயன்று உய்விக்க முடியும்.

அளவுக்கு மிஞ்சினால் அமுதமும் விஷமே!
அளவுடன் உண்டு ஆரோக்கியம் பேணினால்,

அழகுற அமையும் செய்யும் செயல்களும்,
அழகிய தவமும், உய்யும் முயற்சிகளும்.

இல்லம் துறந்து வனம் சென்று, தவம்
இல்லதினரால் புரிய முடியாது அன்றோ?

ஓசைகள் ஒடுங்கிய நேரத்தில் அவர்கள்,
ஓசை இல்லாமல் தவம் செய்ய வேண்டும்.

இந்த மூன்று தாரக மந்திரங்களையும்,
சொந்தம் செய்து கொண்டால் போதும்!

மனிதப் பிறவியின் மாயங்கள் விலகிப்
புனிதமான வாழ்வு நாம் வாழ்ந்திடலாம்!

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி
 
[h=1]புலன்கள், பொறிகள்[/h]
ist2_4737787-see-hear-feel-smell-taste.jpg


புலன் என்பது நல்ல வயல் வெளி.
புலப்படும் பொருட்களை எல்லாம்
வளரச் செய்யும் ஒரு வயல் வெளி;
மலரச் செய்யும் ஒரு மண் வெளி.

“வெளி”யினில் ஒலியை வைத்தான்.
“வளி”யினில் உணர்வை வைத்தான்.
“ஒளி”யினில் வடிவம் வைத்தான்.
ஓடையில் சுவையை வைத்தான்.

மண்ணிலே மணத்தை வைத்தான்.
மனதிலே ஆசைகள் வைத்தான்.
எண்ண எண்ணத் தொலையாத,
இன்பங்கள் உலகில் வைத்தான்.

உணர்வுக்கு உடலை, ஓசைக்கு செவியை,
மணத்திற்கு நாசியை, சுவைக்கு நாவை,
வடிவுக்கு கண்களைத் தந்து, ஆக்கினான்
வடிகட்டிய முட்டாள்களாக நம்மை.

எலியைப் பிடிக்கும் பொறியைப் போல,
எமக்குள் வைத்தான் ஐந்து பொறிகளை.
புலியின் பலம் கொண்டவைகள் அவை;
புரட்டிப் புரட்டிப் போடுகின்றன நம்மை!

ஒளியைக் கண்டு உவந்து வந்து, அந்த
ஒளியிலேயே மடியும் விட்டில் பூச்சி!
இசைக்கு மயங்கி நெருங்கும் மானோ,
இசைக்கும் வேடனுக்கு இசைந்த உணவு!

சுவைக்கு மயங்கி வரும் மீனோ, அதன்
சுவை கண்டவருக்கு உணவாகிவிடும்!
சுகத்தில் மயங்கி வரும் யானையோ
சுதந்திரத்தை இழந்து சிறைப்படும்.

ஒரு பொறியாலே உயிர் போகும் எனில்,
ஐம்பொறி வசப்பட்ட நம் கதி என்ன?
நினைக்க நினைக்க மனம் தான் பதறி,
நனைக்கும் பெருகும் கண்ணீர் அருவி!

கண்ணொரு பக்கம், நாவொரு பக்கம்,
காதொரு பக்கம், உடல் ஒரு பக்கம்,
அறிவொரு பக்கம், மனமொரு பக்கம்,
தறி கெட்டு ஓடும் குதிரைகள் ஆனால்….

ஐம் புலன்கள் இருந்து என்ன பயன்?
ஐம் பொறிகள் இருந்து என்ன பயன்?
எல்லாம் தந்தும், எதுவும் பயனின்றி,
செல்லாக் காசாய் நம்மை ஆக்கி வைத்ததேன்?

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.

[h=3]Why didn’t a Google happen out of India, asks PM Narendra Modi[/h]Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed IT industry leaders at a Nasscom gathering on the challenges the country faced, and asked the industry to contribute towards the “Digital India” campaign, which he launched last year. The PM said the Indian IT sector, which has touched $146 billion in the past two-and-a-half decade, took India on the global business map. “Rich and poor will be differentiated by the digital divide.

Small wonder the NRI founder of Hot Yoga is Too Hot for ladies!!! :flame:

[h=3]As yoga gets special status in India, NRI founder of 'hot yoga' faces six sexual assault charges[/h]On Saturday, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s budget accorded a special status to yoga, announcing that promoting the traditional Indian practice would be considered charitable activity. “Yoga is India’s well acknowledged gift to the world. It is proposed to include Yoga within the ambit of charitable purpose under Section 2(15) of the Income-tax Act,” Jaitley said. Last week, veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader Murli Manohar Joshi claimed at a seminar that sexual assaults would decrease if yoga became more widespread.

A child above 2 years = an adult as far as the Airlines are concerned.

Some other Airlines are very considerate and charge you only 90% !!! :rolleyes:

[h=3]Couple drags airline to DGCA for charging full fare for toddler - Mumbai Mirror -[/h]A Kharghar couple have filed a complaint with aviation regulator DGCA against IndiGo Airlines for demanding full flight fare of Rs 9,000 for their two-year-old son. Nidhi and Sanjai Sharma claim that the airline had initially issued a confirmed ticket for their son, Krishna, on a Mumbai-Delhi flight after charging a standard Rs 1,000 fee for infant passengers. But on the day of the journey, Feb 18, the staff asked Nidhi to produce Krishna's birth certificate to allow him to board the aircraft on the infant ticket.

If Telangana and Seemandhra can cut off each other from history

why not the Tamil kings be cut off from Sri Lankan History???


[h=3]Tamil Kings Cut out, History Rewritten, Claim Lankan Tamil Students[/h]KATCHATHEEVU: Five years after the end of the ethnic war in Sri Lanka, Tamil minority students are still unable to acquire knowledge about the legacy of Tamil kings of yore through their History textbooks in schools. Instead, they get to learn only about the glory of the Sinhala kings and their contribution to the growth of Buddhism in the island nation. “Our History textbooks up to Class X emphasise that the Sinhala kings alone are the legitimate rulers of Sri Lanka and only their clan has the ability to govern the country. If Tamil-speaking students requested their teachers to enlighten them on the Tamil kings and their contribution, the fellow Sinhala classmates mock them,” rued a student, who came with his family to the St Antony’s Church festival at the uninhabited Katchatheevu island in Palk Bay.

A good question!!! Hope the answer will be equally good!!! :)

[h=3]Varanasi has survived history, but can it survive modernisation?[/h]Between the eleventh and the seventeenth centuries, virtually all of Banaras was demolished by successive invaders. In the late twelfth century Qutb-ud-din Aibak, a former slave who became a sultan, almost levelled the city to the ground, destroying more than a thousand temples in the process.The sixth Mughal emperor Aurangzeb razed many more, including, in 1669, the Kashi Vishwanath temple, Hinduism’s holiest site. No matter what history throws at it, it seems to survive. India’s growing economy and the explosion in connectivity to the Internet are changing the aspirations of its young people in radical ways.

If THIS is the plight of people of Karnataka :whoo:

what to say on the plight of their counterparts in T.N??? :(

[h=3]Enough water in Cauvery, but not a drop for 110 villages[/h]Sufficient Cauvery water is said to be available for supply to the City dwellers, but people in 110 villages that were added to Bengaluru in 2007 are still reeling under shortage of water. Unlike certain areas that were added to Bengaluru to form the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), these villages do not have any infrastructure for water supply or sanitation, making them completely dependent on borewells.

Quite understandably too!
They have to make sure that a veer putra does not take shape
due to the consummation scene being shot so realistically! :tsk:

[h=3]Consummation scene tough to enact: Rachana Parulkar[/h]Mumbai, March 2 (IANS) Actress Rachana Parulkar, who portrays the role of maharani Ajabde Punwar in historical drama show "Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana Pratap", says doing consummation scenes on-screen is "tough and challenging." In the upcoming episodes of the Sony Entertainment Television show, viewers will see Pratap and his lady love Ajabde take their marriage to the next level. "Consummation sequence is definitely tough to enact. Rachana has previously appeared in TV shows like "Saat Phere - Saloni Ka Safar" and "Ek Mutthi Aasmaan".-*- Ronit Roy's revengeful Holi Actor Ronit Roy, who portrays Niel in popular TV show "Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyar", took a colourful revenge from his co-stars after they were teasing him while shooting for the Holi sequence. As the festival of colours is just around the corner, actors Avinash Mukherjee, Rhea Sharma and Mehul Vyas were seen teasing Ronit in between shots by throwing water on him using pichkaris.

A colossal mistake???


[h=3]Watch: CNN mistakes Russian President Vladimir Putin for Jihadi John[/h]Mumbai: The American news channel, Cable News Network (CNN), recently committed a major faux pas on national television when it flashed, Russian President, Vladimir Putin’s face on screen during the live news broadcast above a caption that read: “Jihadi John identified”. CNN later apologised for a technical glitch that showed an image of Vladimir Putin during a news segment on an alleged ISIS executioner known as Jihadi John. A picture of the masked man, who appears in beheading videos of at least five hostages, was followed by an image of the Russian prime minister looking somewhat annoyed. The burly masked Islamic State (IS) terrorist known as 'Jihadi John' seen in gruesome videos of beheadings of Western hostages was named as a Kuwait- born Londoner.

A job well begun is already half done! :clap2:

[h=3]Narendra Modi’s budget sets India in the right direction[/h]Expectations for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first full-year budget were always going to be too extravagant to satisfy. No single document could possibly address all of the many roadblocks to growth in India, each of which was enumerated, examined at length and lamented in weeks of breathless coverage leading up to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s 28 February budget speech. What the budget can do is reveal in clear terms the government’s spending and revenue priorities. Viewed in that light, the new budget shows a welcome understanding of what really ails India: a dire lack of investment.

The converse is also true!!!:rolleyes:

[h=3]AAP lacks internal democracy: Shazia Ilmi[/h]New Delhi, Mar. 2 (ANI): Taking a jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) following reports that senior members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan have offered to opt out of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shazia Ilmi on Monday said the Arvind Kejriwal-led party lacks internal democracy. "AAP lacks internal democracy, AAP is pretty much like any other party and it is very sad that senior leaders who have contributed to the party like Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Shanti Bhushan, Admiral L Ramdas who were actually the Lokpal of the party have to say this," said Ilmi.
