WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY & SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR  2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RISE OF TRUTH

In my previous post I told you how truth always wins.Now,I am here, to narrate one more incident which happened during my childhood whereby you can again get a glimpse of truth. I was in 6th  grade then.I was the school prefect and so I had to lead the morning prayer as well as readout one THIRUKKURALL .Even before realizing what had happened,I could only say the morning prayers but not the KURALL written on the blackboard kept at some distance from where I had to stand. My eyesight was very poor and hence reading from a distance was not possible at all.How to manage?

DAWN OF TRUTH

When I was a little girl ,I attended an entrance exam conducted by a school for admission to III grade.
I was writing some answers for an English Language question paper.There was one particular question which asked for the name of my father.I knew the name of my father but not the spelling which is somewhat difficult.

I was staring at that particular question for quite a longtime,which attracted the attention of the invigilating teacher. She came to me and asked what the problem was.I told my predicament and she advised me to write some name with simple spelling .I pondered over this idea  for a while but somehow I did not relish this. But I was in dire need of getting some decent ranking to get admission.Also I did not want to disappoint my Grandpa (my tutor) who was waiting outside with great hopes.I said a small prayer and wrote the answer as" The name of my father is -----".

The bell rang and I came out to narrate the whole episode to my Grandpa who comforted me saying some nice words.Finally I got ADMISSION and you know what my Grandpa said    -

"Thank God;Your Honesty had won.Otherwise you would have lost faith on THE POWER OF TRUTH".

 

VICTORY OF TRUTH

I CONGRATULATE ANNA HAZARE FOR HIS HIMALAYAN FEAT OF ACHIEVING THE GREAT
 MISSION  AGAINST CORRUPTION, THE WORST MENACE PREVAILING IN  INDIA.HIS POWER  LIES IN UNITING THE PEOPLE OF INDIA.I FEEL,HE IS THE ONLY PERSON TO DO THIS AFTER
MAHATMA GANDHI.THE TOOL USED IS TRUTH AND HENCE THIS VICTORY.TRUTH NEVER FAILS.

'' SATYAMEVA JEYATHE'' 

 

TRUTH 4 -- MARTYRS' DAY

Today, 30th jan., is observed as Martyrs' day and we pay homage to those who lost their lives for the welfare of
our nation.But when i see ,what is happening around now,i definitely feel that all their sacrifices are mere waste.
Our politicians are corrupt,a few people plunder the whole nation,women and children are addicted to entertainment,and what not? A handful of people try to enjoy the hard work of  others by keeping black money in foreign banks and the govt.is trying to hide the whole issue under the carpet. What is the solution for all this? i don't know.Even if Gandiji is born again ,he will be scratching his head !!!!!!!!!!!  

      

TRUTH 3 --- HERE IS HOPE

Yesterday,when i went to the market place, i happened to see a Psalm ,written on the walls of the church.I am giving here a rough translation of what i read.
YOU WERE BLESSED,WHEN YOU CAME UNTO THIS EARTH
YOU WOULD BE BLESSED , WHEN YOU LEAVE  TOO.
These wordings are hundred percent true, as for as my life is concerned. I was blessed  when i was born (because i am God's own child),and i am sure that i would be blessed till the very end,and after that too.God has never forsaken me and he sends His messengers to take care of me,in times of trials and troubles.
This time,the messenger was my Grandma.(maternal).I was one and a half years baby then.My grandma visited my place,a rural village where i lived with my parents.At my home,she found me lying in an unconscious state,with bruises all over my little body.She was shocked ,to know that, i was severely beaten up by my father in a fit of rage. So she decided ,not to leave me there ,at the mercy of my father anymore and took me along with her when she returned to the city where she lived. Thus i became a "CITY" GIRL..... 

PONGALO... PONGAL

Now it is festival time here. This season is celebrated in almost all  states of India,with varied festivities.After  the harvest is over , farmers thank the SUN god for all His benevolence. Rice is boiled with milk and sugar and offered to Him along with a variety of other tasty dishes , sugarcane,turmeric plants,coconut etc.,in the open space of the house which has direct exposure to sunlight (mutham). There are shouts of joy as "PONGALO...PONGAL"  echoing everywhere.


The next day ,cows are worshiped by decorating them with sandal powder,turmeric,kumkum  etc.,.In some parts of south India, jallikattu ,a famous sport of the brave, is also organized.


The third day is for visiting friends and relatives and for sightseeing.People gather in great

numbers  in public places like Beach,Temples ...A great time indeed, to ENJOY....
