..... I still have one more doubt.
Is the second word ச2மித or ''சாதித''???
Please pass on my gratitude and thanks to Smt. Uma.

The word ச2மித is given in the book which Smt. Uma could reach easily.
There seems to be one more book, which she is still searching for! :fish2:

I hope she will be able to locate that book and also help me

verify the accuracy of the other 999 names of Murugan!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Lord Murugan is said to be "SEshAvathAram".

Call HIM by wrong names and hope to go unpunished??? :scared:

Even Chuppan/ Kuppan / Karuppan / Munian will do an

impressive snake dance - if we call them by a wrong name! :fear:

சொன்னதும்....சொல்ல நினைத்ததும்.

துண்டிக்கப்பட்டது மிக்ஸ்யில் விரல்!
உண்மையாகவே துண்டானதா என்று
கண்டு பிடிக்கத் தன் கையை மிக்ஸ்யில்
மீண்டும் விட்டாராம் ஒரு ஐன்ஸ்டீன்! :shocked:

மண்டுக்களுக்கு பஞ்சமே இல்லை போலும்!

பல் பதியும்படிக் கடித்து விட்டு ஓடுவது
நல்ல பாம்பா என்று பார்க்க அதன் பின்
துரத்திச் சென்று அதைக் கழியால் அடித்து :smash:
மறுபடியும் கடிபட்டார் தெரிந்தவர் ஒருவர்.

இதுவல்லவோ துணிச்சல்! அசல் தமிழரின் மறம்!

cholla maRanthathu....மண்டு & அசல் தமிழன் are real life brothers!

The truth told by many people.....

When we were young and craved for ice-creams ,

we could not afford to buy them. :hungry:

Now when we can afford to buy them,

we are forbidden from eating them! :nono:

Life is like that! :sad:

Her efforts to fight her shyness and come out of her shell

Yesterday the entire family on my younger son was wearing beautiful spiral rainbow T shirts - all very much alike!

Colorful Spiral T shirts are very common but getting identical shirts of all sizes is not common.

So what was the secret behind their uniform????
They had made their shirts themselves!!!!

Today I looked up in the Internet. Sure enough there are instructions and videos showing how to make them.

If any of you are interested you may try your hand in creating your designs in your favorite color combination!

Solution is Home made ice-creams! :decision:

When young, they might NOT have possessed a fridge and this solution won't work!

But, as an old diabetic patient, it is very much possible to make home made ice-creams,

with a sugar substitute and enjoy! :hungry:

Also, very many varieties of 'sugar free ice-creams' are sold in the market and so no need to feel :sad:

I have read that some pf the sugar substitutes are more dangerous than the original sugar. Also they have and leave a mild bitter taste on the tongue!

In Tamil we can call it "asattuth thiththippu" similar to 'asattuch sivappu!'

I have learned to drink coffee and tea without sugar or sugar substitutes.
Best drink is Cold coffee or tea with a dash of cinnamon and cardamom. :tea:

Come on, Sis! We don't eat ice-cream every day! :nono:

Sugar substitutes FREE of the dangerous ingredient aspartame are very much available in the market!

'Splenda' is one of those, which gives near sugar taste. I DO enjoy ice-cream at least twice a month!

I have learned to remain happy even minus ice cream!
The more and more we give up.... the happier we become!
I use to enjoy sugar free Popsicle long back.
Now I have willingly given up that also!

Food for thoughts....


1. Attitudes speak louder than actions.

2. Actions speak louder than words.

3. Life is a journey meant for Spiritual Evolution.

4. We reveal our inner most thoughts by our comments.

5. Truth reveals itself in silence.

6. Silence endows special power to our speech.

7. Only a fearless person can hold on to Truth.

8. Anger, jealousy and hatred are the three faces of the same enemy.

9. Convince people. Don't compel them.

10. Needs are different from desires.

11. Fulfill your needs and not your desires.

12. Learn to balance Spiritualism with materialism.

13. We become miserable whenever we go against the wishes of God.

14. Desires disturb the mind like ripples on the surface of water.

(Heard during the explanation of Bhagavath Gita by my guru)

This is possible ONLY for true sanyAsis and not for us. Can't imagine
sleeping in a temple or under a tree, on the floor, clad in barks of wood!! :faint:

We can have comforts but not attached to possessions. So, this is and easier way.

பற்றுக பற்றற்றான் பற்றினை அப்பற்றைப்
பற்றுக பற்று விடற்கு.

குறள் விளக்கம்:

பற்றில்லாதவனாகிய கடவுளுடைய பற்றை மட்டும் பற்றிக் கொள்ள வேண்டும்;
உள்ள பற்றுக்களை விட்டொழிப்பதற்கே அப் பற்றைப் பற்ற வேண்டும். ray2:

But does God really have wishes or we humans secretly call our desires Gods wishes?

 

[Raji Ram]

But does God really have wishes or we humans secretly call our desires Gods wishes?

My answer:

Humans 'created' many forms of God - the Almighty - and give different descriptions!

Hence, Lord Shiva is 'abhishEkap priyan'; Lord Vishnu is 'AbharaNap priyan';
Lord Ganesha is 'mOdakap priyan' and so on ............ :decision:

Where there is RAMA, there is no desire (KAMA).
So RAMA and KAMA are mutually exclusive!
I used to wonder why people indulge in writing Sree Ramajayam.
Now it has become the Sara-rOga-nivAraNi for me.
It calms me when I get angry or upset.
I calms me if my B.P shoots up to blood sugar soars.
It has become an indispensable part of my life
While Rama and Kama are mutually exclusive
Ram and Calm go always hand in hand! :thumb:

If humans do similar things they will be gives nicknames like

"our naaLaikku naalu thadavai kuLippavan" :bathbaby:

"sariyAna shokkup pervazhi!" :hat:

'chaaappaaaattu Raman!" :hungry: etc.

"If you could achieve detailed thinking considering various dimensions, no one can succeed in sinking you. The only thing is they can drive you away BUT can not take you away from yourself." - The above one is a very good one to have a clarity in thinking.

 

[Raji Ram]

Talking about nick names, I am reminded of a few funny ones we had coined, in young age!!
