A
bout 70 years back one incidence took place at New
York. A team of three friends Frederic, Tony and Jim
were good friends. They were studying in a college.
Since the accommodation in the college-hostel was limited,
they had to stay in a private chamber. They were the guys
as well as close, intimate and attached to each other.
One Sunday as it was a holiday, they desired to watch
a film show. The film was most entertaining. After
the show was over, they dinned in an inn and came
to their residing building.
When they reached the building it was around
10’ o clock in the night. There was electrical

be dark.
They waited for more than one hour in the
floor side of the building. Their chamber
was in 48th floor of the building.

floors; they had to reach by walk.
They sat on the foot steps discussing the
ideas to reach their chamber.
To make it easy and forget the tediousness of climbing up,
they suggested telling their ambitions of future and the living
style. Each one should tell for 16 floors to their account. The
first one was Frederic who started to tell his ambition and then
walking up was continued. He had to continue for the first 16
floors. “Look my friends, the world is with full of happiness,
a life with good income and spending the money lavishingly
will be the expectations for me. I am coming from a family of
traders; I like to study further in aeronautics. I will become
a pilot. Every day, I will be in a position to go to all the cities
and meet people while I discharge my duties. I like all the
culture and civilization”.
Friend - interfered and asked “What about your married
life?”
Then Frederic replied “It will only be a nuisance to me to be
under control of one girl. My desires are different. When I
reach Paris, there should be one lover with bouquet to receive
me, preferably at the haulting station for me. I will take her to
all the beautiful places and finally I will be staying in a good
hotel and talk to her and observe the trends of love and dine
with her and dance. Of course a very comfortable and happy
day I can pass. Next morning the flight shall be to another
destination where too, I will be welcomed with another girl
whom I trust to be worthy of my love”
Tony interfered and asked “while you are of nature to have
more girls, how could you expect this to be worthy?” In a
confusied stage, Frederic replied,”I have made it clear that
I will not be entangled with any girls and become a slave

aha Rishi Naradha happened to come to earth where the
people were actually living a life of discomfort. Those who were
blessed with education (Saraswathi Kadaksha) and the others with
wealth and full of money (Lakshmi Kadaksha) and the other group with power and
strength ( Shakthi Kadaksha) were also facing all sort of worries. So, it was actually
an astonishment ‘why the human being should live without happiness?’ In Shiva Loga,
God Eswara was in meditation. The place was called by another name “Kailash”. The
divines and devotees were also with the eagerness to have the dharshan (God’s presence)
of Lord Shiva. Kailash is the northern mountain stretching from “Gangothri”, where the
River Ganges originates. The other river, “Brahma Putra” from the eastern region gets
the place of birth and flows in to western direction and bring fame to Bharat (India).
Mount Everest and cave of Amaranth, all are the places of Lord Shiva.What place
could be omitted? Nothing can be. God Eswara exists every where. He opened
his eyes after the meditation was over. All the divines, devotees and Nandi
Deva were worshipping Lord Eswara. ‘Narayana’… ‘Narayana – the slogan
of Maha Rishi Naradha added the curiosity there. Maha Rishi worshipped
God Eswara and with submission, he commenced his conversation.
“Oh! Lord Eswara, among the three great lords, all are honoured and
called as “Theen Moorthy”; the creation is done by Lord Brahma who
create the stars, worlds, seas and rivers; the feeder and protector Lord
Naryana Moorthy feeds food and make a life for all and being; the
destroyer, your Lordship, posses the charge of doing destruction of
lives after their term of permitted times. While all these things are
being properly happening, the people upon earth are suffering. I want
to know further that, Goddess Parvathi, your good self’s wife, gives
power and strength to the people; Goddess Saraswathi the wife of
Lord Brahma gives all arts and education; Goddess Mahalakshmi
wife of Lord Naryana Moorthi (Vishnu) gives all the wealth to
humanity. Even then, they are under trouble – your lord ship
Eswara should have the courtesy to do some Marga (remedial
– act) for the uplift of humans on the earth”
Lord Eswara felt justice is in the demands of Maha Rishi
Naradha. the Lord replied “Naradha! Your claim is a worthy
one; you can get answer for this! Wait for a little more time.
During Simha month (Avani), on the day of Avitta (Dhanista)
star, you have to go and meet “Sri Vigneshwar”, who will be

The month Avani and Star (Dhanista) came and Maha Rishi went to see ‘Sri

Lord Vigneswar. He had two sons. First son through Siddhi was called as Chitranga and the
next one through Bukthi named Buthranga. They were playing little away from Lord Vigneshwar.
This was the tune at which Maha Rishi Naradha entered the palace of Lord Vigneshwar. Naradha the
great Gnani and Rishi, was welcomed bylord Vigneshwar. They were exchanging the news of different
happening’s of Kailash and other worlds.
The children who were playing there. When they looked at the world, the people were worshipping the Gods.
Female members were actually tying a knotof red twine with flower, on the hands of male members. This was some
thing strange and attractive to Chitranga and Buthranga. They came closer to their father Lord Vigneshwar and wished
to have the red twine in form of ribbon. Then Maha Rishi Naradha enthusiastically told the children. “Dear children, it is
Raksha Bandan- a festival celebrated for the welfare and victories of the brothers. Every sister at home will tie this ‘Raksha’
which they saw in red colour with thing and flower” The explanation was heard by Chitranga and Buthranga and they ran
straight away to their mothers Siddhi and Bukthi. Children asked their mothers to get the “Raksha” for them immediately.
Siddhi told “My lovely children!!! This sacred Raksha should be actually tied only through the sisters, born along with you. But
at our home you are both boys, there is no girl. How could it be possible?”
The boys went on adamantly and asked their father to show them their sister. Lord Vigneshwar thought for a moment and felt that
wherever Maha Rishi Naradha happened to go, there would be certainly complications and mischiefs,
(‘Kalahapriya’ is the otherword for Naradha who likes these entire sort of internal mutiny and for his liking it is the day now.
He rules it. On the other day, when he went to Kailash, Lord Eswara told him to meet Sri Vigneshwar on this auspicious day.
So, he waited to see what was going on). Lord Vigneshwar called his two wives and boys. He soothed them and willfuly
by his “creative power”, created a female sister for the boys. Naradha Maha Rishi requested all the great Gods, Vishnu
(Narayan Moorthi), Brahma and Eswara to attend the naming ceremony. Gods and Goddesses Vishnu-Mahalakshmi,
Brahma-Saraswathi and the grand father and grand mother Eswara- Parvathi appeared and graced to name the child
as “Santoshi”. Santoshi gives the meaning of happiness. Santoshi, very happily tied the Rakshas to her brothers’

wealth and live happily. The mantra (sacred prayer) ‘Jai Santoshima’ will give, every body the victories and

Now, a boy of age eleven came to the stage and objected the
decision of the seven judges and pleaded to give him a chance to
submit his opinions.
One of the judges asked him “Who are you to object our
decision?”.
The boy told the furious judges in a polite manner “Sir, I am the
person who submitted the other picture which you have rejected
from awarding the prize”.
Judge laughed and told “You saw how the bird mistook the fruits
on the other painting as real fruits and tried to pierce it”.
“Yes my learned judges, thank you for your explanation on the
real fruit which means the mark was given to the reality”.
“Of course in the same sense only, we granted the prize to other
boy”, commented the judges.
“Sorry to interfere sir, but could you please repeat the title you
have allotted for this competition?”, the 11-year old boy asked.
“A woman fruit seller with basket of fruits and a stick”, one of the
judges instantly replied.
Saying “yes, yes”, the judge appreciated the boy for his good

in all three objects, your learned team of scholars have granted
prize depending entirely on one subject, the fruit! What about the
woman and the stick?”
This claim of the boy shocked all of them including the audience
who were hearing this argument.
Contrary to the sequence, one of the seven judges commented “a
sensible argument to be considered. What more do you want to
tell, my dear boy?”
“Sir I am confident and sure my painting is closer to the reality”
continued the boy, “in my painting the woman with a stick
appeared so real that the bird realized, it would get a beating with
the stick if it came closer.” The arguing judge claimed to prove
the boy’s sense of reality.
The boy screenedthe portion of the woman and the stick on the
painting with a white cloth, and kept the painting at the same
place when it was tested.
After about 15 minutes, some birds flew over the area. Seeing the
painting, they flew near the painting and started piercing the fruits.
While it looked strange and miraculous, the boy’s confidenin in
his art and proper concentration was praised by all the judges.
While, the prize money has since been spent, the fame is still
secured by this boy. The boy is none other than Ravi Varma – the

Lord Krishna himself Explain the Importance of Atma-
Jnan to Arjuna in Ch-2 Vers. 46. Lord Krishna says “To the
Atma-Jnani who has known the self (Pure soul) Vedas are of
so much use, as a reservoir of water is when there is flood
everywhere.
Replying Arjuna’s query of how to distinguish a jnani amidst
others, Lord Krishna says “ Jnani is satisfied in the Self (
Atma), he is not shaken by misery or elated by prosperity. He
does not hanker after pleasure, is free from attachment, fear
and anger and is not affected by any circumstances. Such
a person of true wisdom is exceedingly dear to me I
consider Jnani as my own self, he is established in me Alone
(Atma, inner self) as the supreme. Such a Jnani is very hard
to find.”
Swami Vivekanada, also refers to the Jnani as one who
accepts himself only as a Pure Soul ( Atma) and reject the
notion of himself as the body and mind.
Swami Chinmayanada in his lectures on Holy Geeta , says
Jnani is the one who has identified himself with God.
Swami Prabhupad in his commentary on Holy Geeta , says
Krishna and Jnani are one. ( Ch-7 Vers 18)
Lord Krishna in Geeta says, “ Atma (Self, He) is superior to
sense, body, mind and intellect thus know you’re your own
self (Atma) (Geeta , Ch-3 Vers-42-43). He further says “ I am
in all living creatures”, what is there which common in all
living creature ? Atma is the only thing is common in all living
creatures. Hence Atma itself is God ( Parmatma). ( Geeta
Ch.-15, Vers-15). That is why Atma-Jnan is so important to
awaken the hidden Parmatma within us. And enlighten us
on the Very nature of Our Self.
How do I meet Jnani? How do I find him ?
Jnani will never tell that he is an Enlightened Soul---he is
beyond words, attachments, likes, dislikes and is egoless. It
is always through a Nimmitha that the world comes to know
of the jnani. Arjuna was the Nimmittha for us to know Lord
Krishna as the jnani. Lord Krishna had 100 Yadava and 5
Pandawas as his cousin brothers but no one could recognize
him as Jnani until, Arjuna became depressed, surrendered his
ego to Him and says I don’t know anything, please help me.
Such a Jnani was there in recent past, His name was A. M.
Patel, He experienced the Enlightened Sate---Atma –Jnan in
a natural, ordinary setting at the Surat Railway station in
1958 At that moment, he could see how the entire cosmos
functions, and at the same time see within himself the Pure
Soul --the Light within , totally separate from the body. The
experience continued and he saw the same light in all the
living creatures The enlightened Pure Soul(Shud Atma) in
A. M. Patel is called “ Dada Bhagvan”, The same Pure Soul
( Dada Bhagvan ) is in all living creatures. He was above all
attachments after the Gnyan experience and what was left was
his functional ego and the karmas that had to be discharged
in the remaining years of his life. For 4 years he did not
tell anyone that he had such an experience and was privy to

Tamil name: Thenkai
Coconut water is one of the most delicious natural thirst quenchers in the
world. Coconut water is the liquid endosperm inside young coconuts. As
the coconut matures this liquid largely becomes absorbed into the flesh
found in mature coconuts. Coconut water has long been a popular drink
in the tropics. It is naturally fat-free and low in food energy (16.7 calories
or 70 kJ per 100 g).
Coconuts for drinking are packaged and sold in many places. These
are typically Thai coconuts whose outer green husk has been removed,
and the remainder wrapped in plastic. Coconut water can also be found
in regular cans or tetra paks (and often has coconut pulp or coconut
jelly added) and is also marketed as a sports drink because of its high
potassium and mineral content which helps the body recover from
rigorous exercise.
Why drink Coconut Water

 Coconut Water is more nutritious than whole milk - Less fat


and NO cholesterol!
 Coconut Water is healthier than Orange Juice - Much lower
calories.
 Coconut Water is better than processed baby milk- It contains
lauric acid, which is present in mother’s milk
 Coconut water is naturally sterile -- Water permeates though
the filtering husk!
 Coconut water is a universal donor-- Its identical to human
blood plasma
 Coconut Water is a natural Isotonic Beverage - The same level
we have in our blood.
 Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru
Coconut IV.
 Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg)
than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks*.
 Coconut water has less sodium (25 mg) where sports drinks
have around 41 mg and energy drinks have about 200 mg*.
 Coconut water has 5 mg of natural sugars where sports and
energy drinks range from 10-25 mg of Altered Sugars*.
 Coconut water is very high in Chloride at 118 mg, compared
to sports drinks at about 39 mg*.

“Coconut water is the very stuff of nature, biologically pure, full of


natural sugars, salts, and vitamins to ward off fatigue... and is the
next wave of energy drinks BUT natural!”, according to Mortin Satin,
Chief of the United Nation’s Food & Agriculture Organization.

AR Rahman’s career has flourished over the past twenty years. He has sold over one
hundred million records world-wide and over two hundred million cassettes. His work
includes film scores, soundtracks, theatre, world music and instrumentals. Along side
film composing he made an album “Vande Mataram” (1996) singing the title song
on the album. Rahman teamed up with Andrew Lloyd Webber to compose the music
for “Bombay Dreams” (2002). Some of his award winning compositions include:
“Lagaan”, “Kannathil Muthamittal”, “Bombay”, “Dil Se” “Roja”, “Taal” and “Rang De
Basanti” On June 17th, 2007 AR Rahman and his musicians gave a remarkable and an
outstanding live performance in Washington DC. Here he swept over 8,000 attendees
off their feet. This concert’s promoter was Vijay Taneja of Financial Mortgage Inc.
and Re/Max Summit. He condluded the concert with the audience’s standing ovation
during his “Vande Mataram”. I, Mandira Nandani Mehra, sat down with the extremely
humble AR Rahman Ji, and had the following interview.

Mandira Nandani (MN) - AR Rahman ji congratulations on a superb concert. I won’t


praise you any further because anything I say would cheapen the experience of your
concert. What or who do you owe your success to?
AR Rahman (AR) - I owe my success to God, the love of my family and my fans.
Because without love you can’t do anything- and that’s the motivation behind me.

MN - You’re an icon and idol internationally. You inspire millions globally. Who your
inspiration?
AR - All good people are inspiration to me, because you need infinite things because
you are living a mortal life and you need good nature and art and stuff like that (he
smiled).

MN - I know this is an unfair question- you have 5 fingers you can’t choose your
favorite, similarly, you have many songs and projects- do you have any favorities or
specials that touch your heart?
AR - I have many, it depends. Last year it was “Luka Chupi” with Tabu sang by Lata
Mangeshwar ji, and this year it was “Tere Bina” where all the songs are dedicated to
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

MN - One of your first gigs was a coffee jingle. From coffee jingles to your success
now, would you go back and change any of your steps along the way?
AR - I wouldn’t I think each step was difficult for me, but I try my best to perfect
it. Some of them are successful and some of them are not. It’s important to have an
intention behind your life and what you
are. That comes from within, if you have
that intention you can go on with the
journey of your life.

MN – Many artists I spoke with today


owe their success to you. You have
brought up many artists and contributed
to their success as well as the fact you
have given them their first break. They
revere you- and listen to you daily. Who
do you or listen to on your cd player?

MN - Speaking of modernizing and music- What is your opinion
on being able to download music on the internet?
AR - The time has come that we can all judge how we are and
we should support each other. People are not going to police you
and what you are going to do on the net. We’re all grown ups,
we all have our own thoughts. What goes around, comes around.
What you give is what you get- You give love then you get love.
If you download someone’s hard earned stuff then that should
be denied.

MN - The last concert was titled the “unity of light”. Many of


your songs deal with love: a romantic love, love for a child, love
gained, love lost and the sorrows and happiness that comes with
it. How do you, AR ji, define love?
AR - It’s a very good and big question with a very big answer.
For me the love for God comes first, he comes first, he created
all of us he created love and since I am of Sufi path that is more
important and of course because of that, he has commended us
to love each other then comes secondary love and then your life
is peaceful or you suffer from love too much haha! (he smiles)

MN - You’re an international success and an icon figure- I can


AR - I’m surrounded by music, so I usually don’t want to listen tell from your many concerts there is so much happening here
to music. But sometimes I want to listen to classical, new people (pointing to mind) and here (pointing to heart). You have amazing
and folk music. You tube is now blessing us (he laughs) and focus and have accomplished more then one can comprehend.
sometimes I listen “rad jams” there. With so much success now what do you wish to accomplish?

be getting good benefits by this exercise. The ‘Shooting Stars’ are
meteors which are often seen in the night sky. It is visible just one
or two seconds as it is a traveling star with great speed. Then, it
vanishes after the show.
These meteors contain iron and few other metals. The floating
meteors when happen to cross or enter the zone of the outer space
of earth, they are burnt automatically. This fire incidence, when
the meteor destroyed sparks as bright flares. This is called as
Shooting Stars.
There are three types of astronomical names. They are Meteors,
Meteorites, and Meteoroids. On 20th June 1996, a village
in Rajasthan, India happened to secure a meteor weighing
20KiloGrams. It was a belief that the object could have come from
orbits of Mars. In the belt of asteroids there are lots of rocky objects
which can not be seen through naked eyes. About two hundred
years back an object with the largest size of 900 Kilometers in
diameter was noticed and then named as “Ceres.” About sixteen
years back, a smallest one, of size nine meters was also found.
With all the protection by nature, the earth is circling round
the Sun. Every day many happenings are occurring in the sky.
The Meteoroids are of major, iron contents, which come into
the orbit belt of Earth and create wonders. Just imagine if they
are free to give destruction to homes and towns on earth; what
would become of us? The almighty has given the “Kavasha” the
protection to earth which has its speed, gravitational region, and
the atmospherc zone which will have the potentiality to resist such
entrances and save the earth.
Rare incidences are registered all around the world about the
falling of Meteors on earth. That gives the caution “any thing could
happen”. About 12 years back, the planet Jupiter was attacked by a
big Meteor from a comet, which was coming closer to Jupiter and
entered the surface of Jupiter, this clash made damage for more
than thousand miles. The Astronomers from the earth watched
the incidence and registered the success of their fore-telling.
The matter of reference to tell these incidences under the title
Shooting Stars does not connect to any war between stars or any
collision between worlds. The earth has got it’s protectional region
which our forefathers named as “Kavasha.” Even the satellite
voyage and returning from space stations, the crafts are not

Many episodes in the scriptures


and puranas depict the devotees
rendering bakthi to the Divine in their
conceived forms. But the basic tenets
of bakthi – resolute faith, sincerity
and steadfastness – reigned supreme.
Lord Krishna reiterated these tenets
in Bhagavad-Gita. (Ch:12-Bakthi
Yogam)
Sakthi is energy in simpler terms
and power in a greater term. Matter
without energy is of little use.
Scriptures describe the status of matter
as “Chethana and achethana”,. Sivam
(the Supreme matter) combined with
Sakthi (the supreme power) pervades
the world. One of the six forms of
worship enunciated by the Aryans
was Saktham- Worship of the Divine
in feminine form.

For any movement, energy is required. The supreme Sakthi
By NAGARATHNAM energizes the world. Scriptures describe Sakthi as of three kinds

the motives and desires. Gnana Sakthi is the energy required

Bakthi representing devotion to
Mother, Father, Guru and Almighty respectively. The level and
kind of bakthi is of varying degree. In mathru bakthi, there is
a mixture of affection and endearment. In Pithru bakthi, the
mixture of entitlement and efficacy is more pronounced. In Guru
bakthi, the mixture of reverence and abdication is keenly felt.
And in Divine bakthi, all these and much more form the mixture
with devotion!
Divine bakthi should be pure and unadulterated. Rituals alone
do not form bakthi. They are only tools in the process. Prayer is
a means to reach the stage of bakthi. Faith and sincerity are the
essentials of prayer. A perfect understanding and concentration in
what we do form the basics of proper prayer. Repetitive sincere
prayers are borne out of bakthi on one hand and on the other hand
go towards increasing the level of bakthi in one’s self.. You can
pray and worship the Divine in any form. The great Nayanmars
and Alwars expressed their bakthi in different formats and also
by singing the praise of the Lord in various ways. The bakthi
of various saints was of different type. Meera Bai and Andal
had the ardent bakthi and longed to be in unison with the Lord.
The rustic hunter, Kannappa Nayanar, adored the Lingam as a
living being and offered his eyes, one after the other, when he
found trace of blood on the face of the Lingam. For Nandanar,
the very sight of the temple tower of Chidambaram evoked great
ecstasy before entering into the temple. For Arjuna the Lord was
a relative, driver, friend, philosopher and guide. For Bhadrachal
Ramadas’ bakthiful lamentations, Lord Rama presented himself
before the Sultan. Thyagaraja’s soulful musical renderings on
Lord Rama reverberate among the hills and dales of South India.

fter the birth of a child in the world, the habits
and behaviors are inculcated in them gradually.
The duty of the mother is most important in
bringing up the child. The entire future depends
upon molding of the child in the early child
hood. The nature permits the change of seasons
from child hood to a stage of grown up boy or girl hood and then
comes the youthful personality.
This particular stage is going to be acknowledged as adult. The
mind and activities at this age will be with fast tendencies and
quick decisions. The life is there to live up to old age of 70,
80. The modern fashions, customs, and opportunities are drawn
towards attractions.
The variations between affectionate and passionate could not
be observed by the youngsters. Fashions and fascinations are
capturing the minds of youths. Prone to passion is passionate.
Affection, in a good subject with good will in its purity is love.
This one can not get in strange occasions or events. One has to
know where to apply what and when and how.
The prime youth are like spring time scholars. The age and the
circumstances will be attracting them for fun activities and
searching for a friend of other sex. The variation of these unknown
destinations of desires dominates their mind. In this search, they
may go through lot of failures which may lead them to “the failure
to be stable”.
Lack of Self control causes the issues. They should realize the
principles and aims which may equalize and help them to reach to
their expectations. The outwardly appearances for the suitability
is not necessary. What is the thirst of one? Will it be to the norms
of long standing lives? One should also check the adjustments and
flexibilities to move with, for their better future ahead. Before they
realize the hasty decisions and speedy movements lead to a state of

dissatisfaction. Life is not chained with tests as it is bound to
settle with happiness. Testing every time with out an aim will
ruin the life of one. Good under standing and the observations
of behaviors are most important to have a friend either of same
sex or of other. Passion is lesser to the rank of love.
Some times the friend ship with other sex proves fertile and
leads to the marriage and they continue happy living. It’s usually
lesser than 8 out of 100 people. Most of the relationships end
up as failure. So, the real love is real far away. No one should
fall as victims and lose their future. In true life it is rare to get
success as intellectual friendship is graded first.
In the divine land a most beautiful pair, Manmatha and Rathi
were determined as the best couple. Manmatha, the epics call

projects above the level of water to get the oxygen needed for
survival. The women, by nature very soft, begin to live with
man, like an oxygen supplier. Such relations are must for the
mankind.
Manmatha was doing his duties for his guru “Sukhra Acharya”.
The lives on earth, the creations, reptiles, fishes, animals and
human being were all multiplied only on the orders of Sukhra
Acharya. He was the authority for love and relations and the
cause for child birth. He even controlled the creation of flowers
and plants.
Sukra Acharya is a ruling deity of the planet Venus. He creates
desires, eagerness and passion. So, the real match with ‘Rathi”
is a boon to Manmatha. It’s always said that any couple should

Be like “Rathi and Manmatha”, made for each other.
One day, when they were playing in garden, the game of hide and
seek, Rathi with her supremacy vanished in clouds towards north.
Manmatha began to search her and went up to Kailash. He was very
tired and upset while he saw Lord Shiva in meditation. Manmatha
asked himself why Lord Shiva should meditate without spending
time with Umadevi (Lord Shiva’s wife) and aimed a lotus flower
arrow, which fell on the head of Lord Shiva. HE was disturbed from
his sacred doings of meditation and opened his third eye which was
meant for the flames of fire for destruction.
The pitiable ‘Manmatha’ was destroyed to ashes. The fun game gave
a fate of destruction for Manmatha. Rathi, after a long while, could
not see her husband but by her soul power she under stood what had
happened. She went to Kailash and fell on the feet of Lord Shiva.
She cried as she lost her husband and her life of everlasting love.
Realizing what her husband had done, she begged the Lord.
“Oh Lord Chandra Sekara, your Lord ship are the kindest of all the
kindest. Your Lord ship has given asylum to Shree Chandra up on
your head! My humble husband unknowingly has done this sin. Oh
Lord! Grace me to live with my husband.” Her plea was accepted by
the Lord and granted the life to Manmatha who fell at the feet of Lord
Shiva. Thus the lost life of Rathi and Manmatha continues still.

here are many islands in the Pacific Ocean. One among
them is “Hawaii”, the most beautiful and exotic tropical
island on earth. In each of the islands, there was a ruler or
leader who used to govern that Island.
Hawaii had two rulers. One is a male whose name was ‘Kavo’,
the elder brother and the other ruler was ‘Kela’, sister of Kavo.
Since the Island was surrounded by the vast sea, all the people
living there were well experienced in swimming.
They make their own “Surf – Board” which was helpful to go into
the deep ocean. The edges of the “Surf-Board” had the sloping
shape. For the out look, Surf Board was spacious enough to one
who can even sleep on that. Through the help of Surf board, the
ruler Kela used to swim and enter into the deep sea and come


back to the island. No one in the island had the swimming skill
as that of Kela.
Her brother Kavo used to say “Kela would have been born as


mermaid of sea”. Some among the skillful swimmers used to

fold their legs and sit on the board while on voyage in the sea.
Very few swimmers used to even stand on board, while they get
into sea and venture. When the ruler ‘Kela’ grew up, her brother
‘Kavo’ had the thought of marriage for his sister.
But ‘Kela’ gave a condition. That condition was that one who
wishes to marry her should have the skill of surf board and
he should defeat her in the swimming competition. In another
Island nearby called “MAI” lived a ruler called “Loloal”. In the
AND KELA
life of Loloal, a tragedy took place. He whole heartedly loved a
girl of his Island. He used to play with her in the sea. It was
usual to go into the sea with surf board. Loloal and his lover
girl entered into the sea one day. Unfortunately on that day
a storm attacked their balance. In that accident Loloal lost
his lover girl.
Even after two years, Loloal could not realize himself from
the shock. But the people of the land reminded him and
compelled him to get married soon. Then Loloal made a visit
to ‘Hawaii’. In ‘Hawaii where all the youngsters had failed
to win the ‘surf board’ competition with the ruler ‘Kela’, her
marriage was also getting postponed.
The prince Loloal had come to know about this and
decided to compete with her. The competition took place.
Fortunately Loloal had won the match. The brother of
Kela arranged the marriage for both of them and they
got married.
After the marriage, Loloal told Kela, all his memories. In that
events he told about his lover girl and times with the surf board
into the deep sea and also the incident of accident. Loloal
requested his wife ‘Kela’ to come to his Island “MAI” where
there was a place surrounded by mountains. He suggested
further that there was an old fort for a comfortable living. But
Kela denied her husband’s request, because she loved the sea of
‘Hawaii’ very much and their family life was also good.
After some years they had one child and become parents of few
more children later. Since the years passed Loloal had forgotten
his lover girl who died in the sea. So in “Hawaii” itself Loloal
had built a new palace near the ocean and lived happily, with
the family.

God, has flung his whole
personality into the sea
of God and drowned and forgotten it there, till he becomes only
the instrument of God; and when his mouth opens it speaks
God’s words without effort or forethought; and when he raises
a hand, God flows again through that, to work a miracle. Do
not think too much of psychical phenomena and such things.
Their number is legion; and once faith in the psychical thing is
established in the heart of a seeker, such phenomena have done
their work. Clairvoyance, clairaudience, and such things are
not worth having, when so much far greater illumination and
peace are possible without them than with them. The Guru
takes on these powers as a form of Self-Sacrifice.
The idea that a Master is simply one who has attained power
over the various occult senses by long practice and prayer or
anything of the kind, is absolutely false. No Guru ever cared a
rap for occult powers, for he has no need for them in his daily
life. The phenomena we see are curious and surprising – but
the most marvelous of all we do not realize and that is that one,
and only one, illimitable force is responsible for: -- All the
phenomena we see; and the Act of seeing them.
Do not fix your attention on all these changing things of life,
dearth and phenomena. Do not think of even the actual act of
seeing or perceiving them, but only of that which sees all these
things – That which is responsible for it all. This will seem
nearly impossible at first, but by degrees the result will be felt.

God or an Almighty:
As Swami Vivekananda put it in an easy way to understand
for a question from one of his disciple “ whether God exists?”,
he pointed to three things in our life – (1) as long as the event
of death exists, (2) as long as the events that we desire for,
does not happen and (3) as long as the events that we do
not desire for, does happen -- God will exist, whether you
believe it or not.
Religion, whether it be Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism,
Theosophy, or any other kind of “Ism” or “Sophy” or system,
can only take us to the one point where all religions meet and
no further. That one point where all religions meet is the
realization – in no mystical sense, but in the most worldly
and everyday sense, and the more worldly and everyday and
practical the better, -- of the fact that God is everything, and
every thing is God.
From this point begins the work of the practice of this mental
comprehension, and all it amounts to is the breaking of a
habit. One has to cease calling things “things”, and must
call them God; and instead of thinking them to be things,
must know them to be God; instead of imagining “existence”
to be the only thing possible, one must realize that this
phenomenal existence is only the creation of the mind, that
“non-existence” is a necessary sequence if you are going to
postulate “existence”.
