Think or sink!

Varun gave us a hilarious laughing session by sticking on a thick mustache.
It was so wide that it covered both his lips and half of his jaw besides.
He gave us 'the looks' just like any adult will do and so
no one can control laughing till our sides hurt.
I think the mustache makes a man out of toddler just like
a sari makes lady out of a streaking screaming shrew! :rolleyes:

Today is my little grand daughter's star birthday.
She completing six years and is transforming into
a sweet young girl from a naughty baby!
What better way to celebrate it than
worship her favorite God Ganesha -
more so since today is also a Chaturti day!
How time flies!!!

Saris made of the banana tree fiber were called as naar pattu.
The color would be that of a wet sandal paste and the thin border deep red.
It was worn by elderly women as naar-madi.
Now fancy saris are made with banana fiber -
suitable for the fashion conscious youngters.
 
Net saris are becoming more and more popular.
Is it because it makes a lady appear thin
or is it because it is transparent???
Sheer and nude are the in things now.
They are closely related too.
Sheer covers but not hides!
Nude becomes invisible - if figure hugging.
 

Whenever I attend a puja performed well I have to shed tears.
Call it anuboothi or viboothi (in the eyes) or by any other name.
So when I was already in tears during the abhishekham a phone message came
conveying that the S.I.L our best friend had passed away.
My husband went to visit their house after the puja and brunch.
I was not ready to shed more tears for a differnt reason altogehter.
These mood swings have direct influence on my yoyo B.P. :(
I will have to visit the family on Wednesday or Sunday to condole!
 
The post made in Thirumanthiram made me shed tears.
That lady was alive and kicking the day before yesterday.
She was lifeless and cold yesterday.
She has returned to the 5 elements today. :(
THIS is the famous human life we are proud to possess!
 
In the past people used to pray for anaayaasa maraNam -

an easy passage from (the presnt) LIFE to (the inevitable) DEATH.

Today people wish to live on for ever.

They may be hooked on to a net work tubes.

They may need an oxygen cylinder /ventilator.

They may be aware of the world or unaware of it.

Some people want to frozen and preserved hoping that

a new breakthrough in the world medicines in the future

will bring thm back to life ( and into a strange world!)

Live we must - until our karmas get exhausted

and the karmas of the many others ( connected by invisible strings)

to be exhausted through us - also get exhausted.

Who can read/ know the divine designs of the Almighty??
 
Today I did krithigai puja in my house instead of the colony temple.
I sang all the murugan songs I know for one full hour, made prasadams and offered it to God.
I know God was in my puja room listening to my songs
as usual - but in an unusual place for the first time.
How do I know that He was there? Simple!!!
If tears flow as I sing, God must be there right in front of me! :hail:
If Avvai can't go to Murugan, then Murugan will come to Avvai! Right??? :)
 
Devi revelaed to me another batch of fifty shades of grey among the people i meet in the temple. They always take the liberty of asking for the prasadam (ususlly keasri or coconut burfi or mysore pakku made with pure home made ghee) not just for themselves but also thier family who did not attend the puja.
Not a single person wanted to know why i missed the puja which i never miss- unless i am visiting my sons in usa.
 
I bet most of them were happy that I did not attend the puja.

If I am there they can't chit chat and 'roll the already round heads of whoever is absent there.

Goes without saying I wil be the hot and spicy topic - until I decide to visit the temple once again.

Ashtothra/ sahasra naama archanai perfromed free of cost ! :rolleyes:
 
Nobody can stand a person who perform better than themselves.

Be it music or dance or speaking or writing or anything worth doing.

They wish that you should disappear so that

the second best can become the best.

Really?

I dont think everyone is so jealous of another who is better than him/her.


Then the situation becomes like Arjuna and Ekalavya..Arjuna would have known to the end that he was only 2nd best to Ekalavya.


Getting rid of an opponent does not make us the best..in fact we totally fall from even being 2nd best. Acknowledging another person as better than us does not make us smaller in anyway.

I remember I once knew a person who was more intelligent and much more beautiful than me..never at one time I felt jealous of her but surprisingly she once refused to go out with me cos she felt that for that one day I looked more attractive than her!LOL

I started to laugh and told her "when you are much more beautiful than me why do you feel this way"

She said "Today you look very nice..so I am not going to be seen next to you"

Sometimes jealousy is so strange that some people even feel jealous of those who are not as good as them!LOL

Today is Kanda sashti day.

We used to sing Kanda Sashtik kavasam in the temple.

I sang it at home and continued with the Kandar Anuboothi in Raagaas Hindolam and Mohanam.

No tears today since both the songs are robust rendition with more of energy and less of melody!

As I sang the last paragraph I started wondering "GOD are you here are not?"

When I came to the line "maNiyaai" my chalangai fell down from somewhere with the tinkling sound of the 6 dozen bell stitched in it.

I always use one the pair to keep rhythm. The other one was kept in the book shelf. It was too much of a coincidence that it should fall at the very word "maNi" and when I was wondering about His presence.

God is there - if only we can keep our eyes and ears open for his subtle signals! :hail:

There was an old woman who became a chicken for two reasons.
turkydance1.gif


1. She was afraid of her strange and rare malady.

2. She passed her number 3 ( since 1+2 =3) like the chicken do.

Yes! The waste from the blader and the intestines mixed

to form a filthy paste and emerged from both sides.

I think it was due to cancer at that area. I do not know the

scientific name.

The point I want to stress is that by getting rid of the healthy

spare parts of the body, one cannnot rule out cancer or cheat

death. With the organs likely to affected removed, no knowing

from where the cancer will emerge -

like the crab we find in the beach. :spider:

 
There was another lady who transfomed her son and D.I.l into trained nurses.

Eerytime she used the toilet, part of her intestine also came out.

The son and D.I.L had to push it back inside :sacred: on daily basis.

Caution to those who spend half their waking hours in the toilet trying to pass motion.

Motion can't, won't and doesn't want stay inside you - if your diet has enough roughage and your system is well hydrated.

Don't get into more serious trouble by trying to pass motion before and after every meal!
 
There is a cute little black butterfly.
It can't be a moth since it is attracted
to people and not flames of the lamps.
It would fly around me or sit on my hand or
my arm or my wrist or my fingers.
I attract mosquitoes since my body is very warm
and blood very sweet.
Those little rascals have some cunning way of finding it out.
In a large crowded hall, if one solitary mosquito enters,
it will make a bee line to me.
I thought probably the cute little black butterly has
some such personal preferences until I was told that
Devi visit the places where her pooja is perfromed
as a bramari (a black beetle or a butterfly)!!!
Next time you see a large bee or buttefly or bug
don't assume that it is atrracted by the fragrant flowers.
In fact it might be attracted by you!

10#13b. பிராமரி தேவி (1)

வலிமை கொண்டவன் அசுர மன்னன் அருணன்
வெறுத்தான் தேவர்களை அசுர மன்னன் அருணன்

வெளியேறினான் தன் பாதாள உலகத்தை விட்டு;
குடியேறினான் கங்கைக் கரைப் பர்ணசாலையில்.

தவம் செய்தான் காயத்ரீ மந்திரம் ஜபித்து
தவம் செய்தான் 10,000 ஆண்டுகள் நீர் அருந்தி

தவம் செய்தான் 10,000 ஆண்டுகள் காற்றைச் சுவாசித்து;
தவம் செய்தான் 10,000 ஆண்டுகள் எதுவும் உண்ணாமல்.

எழுந்தது தவ அக்னி அவன் உடலில் இருந்து;
கொழுந்து விட்டு எரிந்தது உலகங்கள் எங்கும்.

அஞ்சிய தேவர்கள் தஞ்சம் புகுந்தனர் பிரமனிடம்
அன்ன வாஹனத்தில் சென்றான் காயத்ரீயுடன்.

உயிர் மட்டுமே ஊசலாடியது அருணன் உடலில்;
வயிறு ஒட்டி அவன் உடல் முழுவதும் ஓட்டைகள்!

பிரகாசித்தான் அருணன் இரண்டாவது அக்னியாக;
பிரார்த்தித்தான் அருணன் மரணம் இல்லா வாழ்வு!

“பிறப்பு என்ற ஒன்று ஜீவர்களுக்கு இருந்தால்
இருந்தே ஆகவேண்டும் இறப்பு என்ற ஒன்றும்!

கால வயப்பட்டவர்களே தேவர்கள், தெய்வங்கள்!
கேள் வேறு ஏதாவது வரம்!” என்றான் பிரமதேவன்

“வரக் கூடாது மரணம் அஸ்திர சஸ்திரங்களால்;
வரக் கூடாது மரணம் ஆண்களால், பெண்களால்!

வரக் கூடாது இரண்டு, நாலு கால் பிராணிகளால்;
வரலாம் மரணம் வேறு எதாவது ஒரு விதத்தில்!”

அளவற்ற வலிமை பெற்றான் பிரம தேவனிடம்;
ஆள விரும்பினான் மூவுலகங்களையும் வென்று.

திரும்பினான் வரம் தந்த பிரமன் காயத்ரியுடன்;
திரட்டினான் அருணன் அசுர வீரர்களை ஒன்றாக.

வாழ்க வளமுடன், விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.
