Harisankar said...- The interesting part of this story is that, there was a story of a guy devotee of lord shiva who gave shiva food stuff after himself checking if good. I saw this Sabari scene in Jai Hanuman some time back.
Service in aid of service
Dear Shri Vaidhyanathan,
I received this mail from one of my music friends. I too have read about this Mr Krishnan earlier,
and his selfless efforts are quite laudable, unmatched. If only he can be identified as the winner
by the CNN, he can continue the service with some succour. I have sent this mail to all my
friends. As an avid reader of your blog, I feel, this request to vote for Mr.Krishnan, which is very
easy, will get a wide and positive publicity. Thanks. Best regards,
K.Krishnamurthy,

Subject: Vote for Narayanan Krishnan - in a list of 10 heroes that CNN has picked for CNN Hero Of the Year
http://edition.cnn.com/
Please vote. And forward it to people whom you think will vote.
All you have to do is Vote for krishnan.No gimmics,no obligations
http://edition.cnn.com/
New Delhi: If you had not heard of Narayanan Krishnan, as I had not, it is a collective failure. This is one of the most incredible stories of personal commitment.
Narayanan Krishnan, all of 29 years old now, does what he was professionally trained to do as a chef. Feed people. Only Krishnan does not do this in the swanky confines of a 5-star hotel. Every day, he wakes up at 4 am, cooks a simple hot meal and then, along with his team, loads it in a van and travels about 200 km feeding the homeless in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
Krishnan feeds, often with his hands, almost 400 destitute people every day. And for those who need it, he provides a free haircut too. According to CNN, eight years ago, this award-winning chef with a five-star hotel chain was all set to go to Switzerland for a high-profile posting. On a visit to a Madurai temple, he came across a homeless, old man eating his own human waste. That stark sight changed Krishnan's life.
Much to the dismay of his parents, CNN says, Krishnan abandoned his career plans and decided to spend his life and his professional training in looking after those who could not care for themselves. He has provided more than 1.2 million hot meals through his nonprofit organisation Akshaya Trust, and now hopes to extend this to shelter for the homeless too.
Krishnan is the only Indian in a list of 10 heroes that CNN has picked worldwide to honour. One of them will be chosen CNN Hero of the Year, selected by the public through an online poll. If many Indians get together to vote for this inspiring man, he can win by a long mile.
If Krishnan wins he will get $100,000 in addition to the $25,000 that he gets for being shortlisted for the Top 10. Akshaya Trust needs all the monetary support it can get to build on Krishnan's dream. Let's help him get there.
Vote for Krishnan here.

Is not India shining
This mail from Mr. Bhaskaran was very repentant about the negligence of our media ignoring this prestigious matter. I thought I can contribute my mite by publishing this here, so that at least few thousands who see my blog can see and spread the good news to many others, and also satisfy Mr. Bhaskaran. Here is the mail:

Very true. Our Media is interested in broadcasting sensational news for improving its popularity.They are not interested in showcasing such accolades.
Not a single news channel telecasted this & not a single newspaper is interested in publishing this news. No media Coverage…...nothing for such an achievement from one of the Indian state.
The facts given below will throw light on the mindset of the secularists, union government and the media - they have ignored national pride and concentrated more on harassment of an elected government. The overwhelming victory of BJP in the latest Municipal elections has proved this again that the voters of Gujarat are intelligent and mature enough to show doors to a vindictive party and the media.
Check the certificate hanging in the office of Gujarat Chief Minister Shri. Narendra Modi.
Its proud moment for any country that one of its state got the United Nations prize for improving transparency , Accountability & responsiveness.
Even last year also, Government of Gujarat got first prize for drinking water supply programme and user level water quality.
Media is only interested in telecasting news of encounter of gangster Soharabuddin.
Check the certificate hanging in the office of Gujarat Chief Minister Shri. Narendra Modi.

mmm. I dont watch / take news channels for quite some time as each one favors a political party. It is depressing too to watch especially after work. Hey if a bunch of deranded single digit IQ guys want a hartal and beat each other to a pulp, I am a happy man.

A legend (for a change not from Carnatic music)
This was a write up by my nephew Shrijit in face book, which gave me full satisfaction after reading it. I thought it may give the same feeling to many of you after reading it. Before that, are you able to make out the lady who is in this photo? Please do not read the write up below before guessing correctly.
"When Sachin Tendulkar traveled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam. When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy. It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will."

Manthras
Mantras are sound vibrations that permeate every cell of your being; they let the mind dissolve. Mantras are impulses or rhythms of consciousness. They create spiritual vibrations.
Mantra is that which saves you from repetitiveness. A repetitive thought is a worry. Mantras help to free you from worries. Often we wonder why we chant some sounds without understanding their meanings. Can something that we do not understand, help us?
The meaning of every mantra is infinity. It is a sound vibration beyond the cognition of the mind. When the mind is unable to do this, it simply dissolves and moves into a meditative space.
A mantra is like a seed. Every seed has the potential to become a tree. Similarly, these sound vibrations contain all the possibilities of creation. Some mantras are in seed form, called the bija mantras. Others are fully expressed, that is the fruit of the mantra is also expressed, like the Gayatri mantra.
Mantras are a secret. That which is kept a secret alerts the subconscious mind. Mantras work at the level of consciousness. When we want a seed to sprout, it needs to be sown into the soil, hidden, a secret. If it is simply thrown around, birds may eat them up. We can read and learn about mantras and their uses from books and the internet but that will only satisfy the intellect and not translate into experience.
When we chant the mantras, or listen to them, we get purity of mind and word. This prepares us for meditation. As a result of the sound vibrations, different patterns of the mind rearrange themselves to become tranquil. Agitation is reduced, helping us to turn inward. For instance, when we laugh, our happiness increases. When we cry, the heaviness of sorrow is released. Just as sounds of laughter and crying help, mantras act similarly. Repetition of mantras creates a psychological or mental response that is deep, beyond the realm of words or expression. It can only be experienced. Speech falls short as it cannot go beyond expression into the experiential level.
When the mind is calm and centered, it can turn inward. Only a mind turned inward can experience the vastness and beauty of Divine Consciousness. When our focus is outward on the objects of the senses, our mind is scattered; it races after one craving or other. Physical senses seek to know all about the external universe. Meditation is the tool for inner exploration. 'Antarmukhi Sada Sukhi' – one whose mind is turned inward is ever in bliss. Mantras are tools that allow the mind to dissolve and repose in the Self.
Why should we repose in the Self? How is this going to help us in our day-to-day life? When a river is calm, it reflects. When the mind is calm, there is greater clarity of expression. Our sense of observation, perception and expression improves. As a result, we are able to communicate effectively and clearly.
Most of our problems and misunderstandings arise because of a lack of effective communication. When our mind is free from agitation, the way we interact and communicate is much more pleasant and effective. Our efforts are not hindered by communication gaps. This leads to a lot of positivity in outlook.
Mantras are as subtle as the air that creates ripples in the water as it gently moves over it. Air is all-pervading and at the same time affects specific regions. The field of mantras is also one such. It is all-pervading; it creates an impact on the one who is practising.
(By Bhanumathi Narasimhan, who is the director of women and child welfare programs of The Art of Living)

Most interesting mail ever received
I have posted under this caption many interesting mails received. But this is something very very special.
I am just posting this mail as it is. I hope many youngsters will be benefited
Dear Mama,
I am a regular visitor of your blog. I downloaded some songs and enjoyed them. Thanks.
I just found one web site about education. Check this site out and it will be useful for all school children. When I saw this site I remembered you and your blog. It is completely free high quality education to anyone, anywhere through you tube (Home School comes in You tube). You can give this information to all. Thanks. Given the website below. Seetha Hariharan http://www.khanacademy.org/ |
Dear Ms. Seetha Hariharan ! how will I express my gratitude to you !! You have clean bowled me when I was batting on my principle "Share whatever you acquire." and not even reached the double figure. A best gift on "Saraswathi Pooja" day to many youngsters.
Hats off to you

Dear Sir, You have given in the same measure. But, we, no, I! MK Devarajan
