Rani Samyukta

Samyukta was the daughter of the king of Kananj. She was the most beautiful princess in India. Prithivi Raja was the king of Delhi. He wanted to marry her. He knew that it would not be easy to marry her because her father was his enemy. He always liked to do what was not easy to do. Therefore, he decided to try. First, he sought out her old nurse. She was living not far from the place. He touched her feet with his fore head and asked her advice. The old woman loved prithivi Raja very dearly. So she promised to help him.

“Give me”, she said “that picture of yours which the great painter at Delhi has painted on ivory in green and gold. I will tell you when I came again from my journey”. The old nurse went a long journey and reached the gate of the palace of Kananj. She expressed her desire to see the queen. Now it happened that moment, the queen wanted a new waiting woman for the princess. So the old woman was asked to look after the house hold work. Samyuktha had a true heart. As the old woman brushed her hair or sat with her on the roof on the still, hot nights, she told her the tales of Prithivi Raja and of his love for Samyukta. She showed Samyukta his picture painted on ivory in green and gold. As she looked on his face, her heart desired to meet the king who loved her.

Presently the king of Kananj said, “It is time for the “Swayamvara”, that is the choosing of her husband by the princess. He sent his messengers to all parts of India to call the princes of India to the great choosing. However, he sent no message to his enemy Prithivi Raja, the king of Delhi. Nevertheless the king of Delhi came to the choosing. Prithivi Raja and his friend came to the swayamvara disguised as minstrels.

The courtyard of the palace was gay and ready for the “Swayamvara” Garlands of roses and jasmine were hung from the pillars. The king and the Queen sat on golden throne on a marble balcony. The thrones of the princes, who sought the hand of Samyukta, were just below the balcony.

The princes were dressed in jewels and clothes of gold. Each prince had his men at arms and heralds. The musicians sat on the watchtower at the gate. PrithiviRaja, the great prince, sat with the musicians.

When the bugles sounded, Samyukta came from the inner courtyard. She wore a sari that flowed about her like golden water. There were golden anklets on her feet and golden bracelets on her arms. Her eyes were on the ground as she walked. She held lightly the garland of fresh jasmine. She would place the garland on the neck of the prince whom she would choose to be her husband.

When she reached the outer courtyard, she raised her eyes and saw a wooden figure of Prithivi Raja standing in the place of the king’s doorkeeper. She knew well that her father had done this thing to hurt Prithivi Raja, the true knight of her heart. Her choice was made now proudly she walked one prince after another. She passed on silently. She remembered the great tales of Prithivi Raja told by the heralds.

There was but one prince left. He was sitting near the door keeper. All were anxious to know what she would do. The king and the queen leaned out of their marble balcony. All the crowd watched her breathlessly. To their surprise, Samyukta also rejected the last prince. She turned to the wooden image of PrithiviRaja who had no invitation to the great choosing and placed the garland on its neck. She had indeed kept the garland for her true knight alone.

The king and all princes rose in wrath. There was a clash of steel. For this insult, Samyukta would now be bound in chains and sent to the deepest dungeon of the place. But love was quicker than wrath. PrithiviRaja who was disguised as minstrel mounted on the king’s swiftest charger, which was at samyukta’s side. He stooped and lifted her to his saddle and rode away to the gates of Delhi.

Swamiji sri selvam siddhar

During the past issues, I was blessed well by the Almighty and Sri Swamiji Siddhar to share my ideas on Spirituality. In this issue, also I am blessed well by the Almighty and Swamiji Sri Siddhar to share my ideas on Spirituality. During the past issues, I tried to quote some examples from ancient Siddhars and monks like Sri Adhi Sankaracharya, Acharya Ramanuja and Sri Madhvacharya. In this issue, I wish to describe the spirituality of Sikhism.
The word “Sikh” itself has a very wonderful meaning. 
S – Sincerity
I – Integrity
K – Kindness
H _ Humanity.
The Sikhs are very famous for their sincerity. In the Army forces of India, at least 40% of the battalion will be Sikh only. They are so fond of the Nation.  
A progressive religion well ahead of its time when it was founded over 500 years ago, The Sikh religion today has a following of over 20 million people worldwide and is ranked as the worlds 5th largest religion. Sikhism preaches a message of devotion and remembrance of God at all times, truthful living, equality of humankind and denounces superstitions and blind rituals. Sikhism is open to all through the teachings of its 10 Gurus enshrined in the Sikh Holy Book and Living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji founded Sikhism, (1469-1538). At Sultanpur, he received a vision to preach the way to enlightenment and God. He taught a strict monotheism, society of humanity. He rejected idol worship, and the oppressive Hindu concept of caste. Only according to the Guruji’s directions In 1801, Maharaja Ranjit Singh founded the Sikh state of Punjab in Northern India. According to a historian Vincent Smith, "The Punjab State was neither a traditional Indian territorial State and monarchy, nor merely a dictatorship of one community over another. 

The name of the religion means learner. It is often mispronounced 'seek' It should be pronounced 'se-ikh', with the final 'kh' sound like the 'kh' in Mikhail Gorbachev. He is responsible for the saying “There is only humanity and Spirituality. There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim or any other religion" which has since become one of the pillars of Sikhism. He taught a strict monotheism, society of humanity. He rejected idol worship, and the Hindu concept of caste. Guru Nanak and Panth (his followers) later built the first Sikh temple at Katarpur. There are nine Gurus followed by Guru Nanak. They are Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji ,Sri Guru Ramdas Ji ,Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji ,Sri Guru Har Gobind Ji ,
Sri Guru Har Rai Ji ,Sri Guru HarKrishan Ji ,Sri Guru Teg Bhadur Ji and
Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji .
A succession of nine Gurus (regarded as reincarnations of Guru Nanak) led the movement during the period from Guru Nanak's death until 1708. At that time, the functions of the Guru passed to the Panth and to the holy text, considered the 11th Guru. 
Mogul emperors ruled a large area of South Asia from the 16th century until the end of the 18th century. They attempted to convert the Sikhs to Islam, but were unsuccessful. It has been said of one of the Sikh Gurus (considered by many Sikhs to have been the last guru) that "Had there been no Guru Gobind Singh, the entire country would have gotten circumcised" i.e. been converted to Islam. He fixed some rules for the Sikhs. Every female should cover the head with a cloth called “Duppatta”. Every Sikh male should have 5Ks with him. They are Kesh (long hair and beard), Komb (to keep the hair clean), Katag (a ring made of gold copper or steel worn in the wrist).Kripan (a knife to be used as a life saving weapon), Katcha (dhothy worn to cover from hip to thigh and tied in a tight position). Above all these 5 Ks, they should have the 6th K, which is kindness. There are only three things to be followed compulsorily by every Sikh. They are Service (Seva), Sincerity and kindness. The teachings of Guru Nanak are very high in Spirituality. 
Guru Nanak was a reformer. He attacked the vicious tentacles of corruptions in society. He strongly protested against formalism and ritualism. He carried the message of peace and of love to everybody. He was very liberal in his views. He did not observe the rules of caste. He tried his level best to remove the superstitions of the people. He preached purity, justice, goodness and the love of God. He introduced the singing in praise of God, along with music, as a means of linking the soul of man with God. 

Guru Nanak had great reverence for women. He allowed them to join all religious gatherings and conferences and to sing the praises of God. He gave them their full share in religious functions. 

To him, there are no barriers of race, class, caste, creed or color, which check the progress of any in reaching the goal. He realized the great truth of fellowship of religions. He preached the universal brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God to all people.

Guru Nanak points out that the road to the abode of God is long and arduous. There are no short cuts for rich people. Everyone must undergo the same discipline. All human beings must live according to the will of the Lord without grumbling or murmuring. The best way to find God is to make His will your own. Be in tune with the Infinite. The first stage in making the divine will one’s own is attained through prayer for divine grace or favor. Guru Nanak attaches very great importance to prayer. He says that man without divine favor can achieve nothing. He says: "Approach God with perfect humility. Throw yourself on His mercy. Give up pride, show and egoism. Beg for His kindness and favor. Do not think of your own merits, abilities, faculties and capacities. Be prepared to die in the pursuit of His love and union with Him".

The beautiful composition of mystic poems uttered by Nanak is contained in Japji. Every Sikh sings it at daybreak. In Japji, Guru Nanak has given a vivid description of the stages through which man must pass in order to reach the final resting place or abode of eternal bliss. There are five stages or Khandas. The first is called Dharm Khand or "The Realm of Duty". Everyone must tread the path of righteousness. Everyone will be judged according to his actions.

The next stage is Gyan Khand or "The Realm of Knowledge" where the spirit of divine knowledge reigns. The aspirant does his duty with intense faith and sincerity. He has the knowledge now, that only by doing his duty in a perfect manner, he can reach the abode of bliss or the goal of life.

The third stage is Sharam Khand. This is "The Realm of Ecstasy". There is the spiritual rapture here. There is beauty. The Dharma has become a part of one’s own nature. It has become an ingrained habit. It is no more a mere matter of duty or knowledge.

The fourth stage is Karam Khand or "The Realm of Power". The God of power rules over this realm. The aspirant acquires power. He becomes a mighty hero. He becomes invincible. The fear of death vanishes.

The fifth or the final stage is Sach Khand or "The Realm of Truth". The formless One reigns here. Here the aspirant becomes one with God. He has attained Godhead. He has transmuted himself into Divinity. He has attained the goal of his life. He has found out his permanent resting place. Now ends the arduous journey of the soul.
The teachings of GuruNanak are summarized as follows. Love every faith: 
Put away thy pride. Remember the essence of religion. Do not do and encourage the fauge things of selfish people. It will not lead you in the path of spirituality and godliness. However, a life of goodness and pure spirituality you can attain all the things you need. You will have a permanent place in this earth and very good place in the heaven after your demise.
I thank the Almighty God and Swamiji Sri Siddhar for giving me a chance to share my ideas on spirituality. In the next issue, we will meet with some more thoughts on Spirituality. I pray the Almighty to shower its blessings on all of us to have a very good spiritual life. By these blessings, as according to our Swamiji’s words we can lead a comfortable living.

Disciples Discretions of Adhi Shankara

There were several notable disciples to Adhi Shankara. They have left their “Path” to this world, which is showing the light of torch for the welfare of the human beings. We are now going to find the light of their torch in the forms of words.

No 1:

         This world is a mirage with false appearance. The omnipresence is the Real Nature, and truth. Don’t be with the egoistic thinking that the money, possession, wealth and relatives will be permanent and ever be yours. The mighty time will wipeout these things within seconds of a minute.

No 2:

         While the seasons are changing the worldly life comes to an end. Time is playing as day and night, morning and evening; winter and summer. When the life comes to an end the air named “soul” leaves the physique; but the air called “desire” don’t leave even then.

No 3:

         Atleast here after join and have relationship with pious people. When a person gets old age, disease like paralysis may attack him. Who would support that person when he looses his balance and falls down! Either that fellow’s wealth comes to help him at that stage? Even with the credibility as wife, does she could? One should go further and reach the Bank of birthlessness and deathlessness. 

No 4:

         When a person gets old age he looses all his teeth. That person’s head becomes bold. His physical streangth passes away. His physique becomes like a piece of “wood”. In that stage he supports his body weight through a hand–stick. The head will be with grey hair for a few. Without the balance of body they do walk. Even then that person never detaches from his desire and attraction of worldly things.

                                                                                                                                      -Sri.Thodakachariya. 

No 5:

         A fellow saint grows his hair like threads as if that of a rope. Another one removes the hair completely. One more saint wears the dress of the saint hood. A peculiar saint shaves half of his head. These are fearful appearances. None of these saints have received the vision of God. They are blind even though they have the eyes. They pretend as “saints”; but they are also in need to feed their stomach.

                                                                                                                        - Sri Padmapathaacharya

No 6: 

         When the sunsets and night comes. One saint, not tolerating the chillness. He closes his jaws and folds his knee’s joints. When the sun arises that saint performs ‘Homa’ with fire. During the midnoon the sun light scorches his back side of the shoulder. Then he begs for his food by raising his hands. He uses to sleep under the shadow of the tree. Even that Person has not thrown away the rope of passion named Desire and attraction.

-Sri.Hasthamalakaacharya

No 7:

          One may take bath at the adjunction of Ganges and Jamuna. Another may take bath in the Holy River “Ganges”. One may visit holy places through out the country. Another one may practice several penances. Some another may donate money for the sake of poor. Even that person if he had not matured with enlightenment, he could not attain “Wisdom”. That person, as per all religious norms even if he takes hundreds of births, he could not attain wisdom.

- Sri.Subothacharya.

No 8:

          Which is the thing that made for one’s comfort? For one, who had strong renunciation and has no languish for worldly pleasures. That kind of person resides under the shadows of trees and sleeps on plain floor.  That person wears the skin of “Deer” for his waist. That person gets benefit for next world or bliss for no rebirth.

- Sri.Sureshvarachariya.

No 9:

         Any person who has no contacts with others as well with his relatives – A person who renounces worldly pleasures even then enjoys limited worldly happiness. A person who indulges in meditative practices- that person, if whole mindedly concentrated with the Almighty at any circumstances – That person enjoys the ever lasting divinely – pleasure in the three phases of times (past, present and future). That person gets freedom from punishment of life and death.

No 10:

           When birth occurs death comes. When death occurs birth comes, Again and Again one have to suffer in the womb of a mother. Again the mother’s abdomen is the cradle or birth bed. This cycle has no end oh Lord! You are the saviour from this criteria. With kindness and mercy, save from the ocean of Birth.

No 11:

           A person may behave like a mad man, the same person will cajole, like a child. That person may ‘Wear’- worn out clothes found in the street. His activities can’t be explained as pure or unpure; bad or good sin or good deed. It would look like an exceptional law. To those kinds of saints, one should give respect and obey him.

                                                                                                                                       Sri Nithyanandhacharya

No 12:

            When a person dreams something about, joyful or sorrowful happenings, it occurs. When the whole human life transists or takes one form in to another form. Truly this world has no substance. Everything comes and goes in imagination; like that this life is in a dream state.

                        Ask yourself “Where from I came? 

                        Who is the mother in this birth? 

                       Who is the father before this birth? 

                       Who is the third person or enemy?

                        Leave this world on the title of creator’s burden one and all are bound to obey the Almighty or Nature’s formation.

- SriYoganandhacharya

Sportspage.
In this issue we will discuss about an intresting game. That is Cricket.Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport that originated in England and is now played in more than 100 countries. A cricket match is contested by two teams, usually of eleven players each. A cricket match is played on a grass field in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20 m) long called a cricket pitch. A wicket, usually made of wood, is placed at each end of the pitch and used as a target.
The bowler, a player from the fielding team, bowls a hard leather, fist-sized, 5.5 ounces (160 g) cricket ball from the vicinity of one wicket towards the other, which is guarded by the batsman, a player from the opposing team. The ball usually bounces once before reaching the batsman. In defence of his wicket, the batsman plays the ball with a wooden cricket bat. Meanwhile, the other members of the bowler's team stand in various positions around the field as fielders, players who retrieve the ball in an effort to stop the batsman scoring runs, and if possible to get him or her out. The batsman , if he or she does not get out , may run between the wickets, exchanging ends with a second batsman (the "non-striker"), who has been stationed at the other end of the pitch. Each completed exchange of ends scores one run. Runs are also scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary of the playing area. The match is won by the team that scores more runs.
Cricket is essentially an outdoor sport, certainly at major level, and some games are played under floodlights. It cannot be played in poor weather due to the risk of accidents and so it is a seasonal sport. For example, it is played during the summer months in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, while in the West Indies, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh it is played mostly during the winter months to escape the hurricane and monsoon seasons.
Governance rests primarily with the International Cricket Council (ICC), based in Dubai, which organises the sport worldwide via the domestic controlling bodies of the member countries. The ICC administers both men's and women's cricket, both versions being played at international level. Although men cannot play women's cricket, the rules do not disqualify women from playing in a men's team.The rules are in the form of a code known as The Laws of Cricket  and these are maintained by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), based in London, in consultation with the ICC and the domestic boards of control.
Team structure
A team consists of eleven players. Depending on his or her primary skills, a player may be classified as a specialist batsman or bowler. A well-balanced team usually has five or six specialist batsmen and four or five specialist bowlers. Teams nearly always include a specialist wicket-keeper because of the importance of this fielding position. Each team is headed by a captain who is responsible for making tactical decisions such as determining the batting order, the placement of fielders and the rotation of bowlers.
A player who excels in both batting and bowling is known as an all-rounder. One who excels as a batsman and wicket-keeper is known as a "wicket-keeper/batsman", sometimes regarded as a type of all-rounder. True all-rounders are rare as most players focus on either batting or bowling skills.There are various types of playing thegame. The most popular are Test Cricket,Oneday match andTwenty twentymatches. Let me explain briefly about all these.
Test cricket
Test cricket is the highest standard of first-class cricket. A Test match is an international fixture between teams representing those countries that are Full Members of the ICC. The men wearing black trousers on the far right are the umpires. Teams in Test cricket, first-class cricket and club cricket wear traditional white uniforms and use red cricket balls, while professional limited overs teams usually wear multi-coloured uniforms and use white balls.
Although the term "Test match" was not coined until much later, Test cricket is deemed to have begun with two matches between Australia and England in the 1876-77 Australian season. Subsequently, eight other national teams have achieved Test status: South Africa (1889), West Indies (1928), New Zealand (1929), India (1932), Pakistan (1952), Sri Lanka (1982), Zimbabwe (1992) and Bangladesh (2000).
Welsh players are eligible to play for England, which is in effect an England and Wales team. The West Indies team comprises players from numerous states in the Caribbean, most notably Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands. Test matches between two teams are usually played in a group of matches called a "series". Matches generally last up to five days and a series normally consists of three to five matches. Test matches that are not finished within the allotted time are drawn.
Since 1882, most Test series between England and Australia have been played for a trophy known as The Ashes. Some other series have individual trophies too: for example, the Wisden Trophy is contested by England and West Indies; the Frank Worrell Trophy by Australia and West Indies.
Limited overs
Limited overs cricket is sometimes called "one day cricket" because each match is scheduled for completion in a single day. In practice, matches sometimes continue on a second day if they have been interrupted or postponed by bad weather. The main objective of a limited overs match is to produce a definite result and so a conventional draw is not possible, but matches can be undecided if the scores are tied or if bad weather prevents a result. Each team plays one innings only and faces a limited number of overs. Typically, the limit is 40 or 50. In Twenty20 cricket, each team faces 20 overs only.
Standard limited overs cricket was introduced in England in the 1963 season in the form of a knockout cup contested by the first-class county clubs. In 1969, a national league competition was established. The concept was gradually introduced to the other major cricket countries and the first limited overs international was played in 1971. In 1975, the first Cricket World Cup took place in England. Limited overs cricket has seen various innovations including the use of multi-coloured kit and floodlit matches using a white ball.
Twenty20 is a new variant of limited overs itself with the purpose being to complete the match within about three hours, usually in an evening session. The original idea, when the concept was introduced in England in 2003, was to provide workers with an evening entertainment. It has been commercially successful and has been adopted internationally. The inaugural Twenty20 World Championship was held in 2007.
In the next issue,we will see about a differentgame.

“BUDDHA”

Saint Buddha tells that the sufferings of the man kind lies only with the desires. If he actually wins his desire and understands him self, the great fullness of wisdom he could reach. His teachings were accepted by three fourth of the people of the world. But, in his mother country, India there are no much masks of books to his importance, this message notes are prospered to fulfill that need to know about him. This message should reach all over and the people should get the usefullenus of this message.

 The opinions of many scholars on“Buddha”.

1) As a man born with very brilliant and pure heart. Till to this day I have found no bray upon this world. His services to the humanity are very great and that there is no comparison to him. He lined as a saint with wisdom of action.  Swami Vivekananda

2) Saint Buddha is not only the light for Asia but also the light for the world crores of people have obtained the usefulness through him .Ramakrishna mutt Chennai.

3) Buddhism dove to the consciousness of world and his silent approach for justice with the base of non-divulgence, there could be no comparison at all. That has touched my heart very much – Rabindra nath tagoore.

4) The path showed by “Buddha” will ham to be followed fight genus the destruction of human society – Jawaherlal Nehru

5) Saint Buddha born as a man and established a religion where there is no egoism built with a complex of superiority and individualism.Humanity and love was the principles. He did it with his own accord and raised himself the questions about life and observed the result to of himself and served to the humanity –Osho –

6) No cast and community were his realigion. He stressed the need of untouchahlity and followed the way of nonviolent process and established as doctrines to be followed by the mankind – Mahatma Gandhi and Dr.Ambethkar.

                    Buddha showed the path for prosperity of the world

                    About 2500 years back. Buddha born as a son in a Royal family of king Suddhothana. The queen Maya Devi was his mother. His real name was “Siddhartha”. The meaning explains to be the achiever of the thought he wished.

                    When a saint saw the child told that the child would be the saviour of the world. He stated that if the children happen to see the aged or the sick person or the dead body, the moment at which he would reject the earthly life.  After hearing the opinion of the saint, the king arranged a garden in which all kinds of happiness could be prevailed. He brought up the child and prevented his moments with external world. In early youth hood, the marriage was also conducted.
                     
                    But Siddhartha’s eyes were eager to know the world and the society. He went out side the garden and palace. He was actually wondering to look at the beauty of the city. But, he had to see the three events of old age, sickness and death. 

                   He came to know that no one could escape from old age, sickness and death because they were facts. His thoughts stimulated with the feelings of curiocity.

                   At his age of twenty nine, he departed from the palace and arrived the city called ‘Gaya’. He made severe penance for six years. The enlightens of facts were his possession. At his age of thirty-five, he had the fullness of wisdom, siddharth then became “Buddha”. For forty-five years, he walked allover and visited several places and explained his views and principles.

                His doctrines were for good people and the bad, for the rich and poor, for the educated and uneducated. He showed no partiality as men and women. He served for the uplift of humanity. With the view to spread the principles through out the world, he established an. association of saints. At his age of eighty, on one full moon day of vaishaka, at the place called ‘Kusinara’ he attained the immortality.  This is called “Mahabari Nirvana”.  His birth and the day of wisdom also took place in the full moon day of vaishaka (MAY-JUN)

               This vaisaka full moon day, granted the purity thrice to saint Buddha.

               His personality was just like that of the and his physique was also compact, his walking was just that of the male elephant, dark and dense hair, black with bluisheyes,beautiful mouth with pearl like teeth, charming face and with sweet voice. He ruled the hearts of people, kings and saints. He had the power in physique and the confidence in his heart and the purity and strait for wardens in action. Based either on epics or morels of the ancestors, he followed nothing; he did it with the references of what the matters observed and noticed by eyes. His teachings were based on sensitiveness of reality. Human beings’ sixth sense should play the role of acceptance. Sri Vivekananda has also pointed out his vien about Buddha as below that way. 

“He was the first who dared to say as believe not because old manuscripts are produced, not because it is your national belief, because you have been
made to beliefs from your childhood, but reason it, all out and after you have analysed it, then if you find that, it will do good to one and all,believe it, live up to it and keep others to live up to it.

Legs with Boots

                    One who does not bow his head before the foe is called “Valliant person”. ‘Hyder Ali’ is of this principle and proved as a Brave King. He ruled the state of Mysore in India. The British men who came to India as traders desired to capture the entire country. The unity among the Indian Kings were spoiled by them. They began to catch one after another state of the country.

                  But “Hyder Ali’ did not fear for their guns and rifles. Hyder Ali showed much importance to the patriotism. The soil in which he born was worshipped by him. He did not want to loose the state. There was a big war between British army and Mysore Army. (Hyeder Ali). The war was going on at a place called as Sri Rangapatna; several thousands of warriors from both sides lost their lives. 

                   In front of the mighty regiment of British, Hyder Ali’s soldiers, horses and Elephants could not manage the attack. Hyder Ali could not win the battle. He was captured by the soldiers of British. He was brought before the commander of British Army. Hyder Ali stood before him with all his braveness. The commander expected him to bow his head and surrender.  Hyder Ali stood as a brave tiger. The commander ordered him to salute him. But Hyder Ali replied that the respect is not the think to demand and possess. He further explained that his head will bow before God only and never lower down to man kind. The British commander challenged him and told “You will bow your hand before me”.

                  Next day the commander raised a wall in between his chamber and Hyder Ali’s cell in which he was locked and kept as captive. The commander ordered the soldiers to make a hole in the wall. It was arranged to a height of a short Boy. The commander ordered Hyder Ali to come and meet him.

                  <a href=http://www.sriselvamsiddhar.org/aboutus.htm> Swamiji sri selvam siddhar </a> The commander thought that Hyder Ali should bend and low down his head in the hole and reach him. So that Hyder would bow his head and reach him. Hyder Ali came to know the plan of commander easily. Hyder Ali lay down his body near the hole and projected his legs with Boots and managed to get through the hole with his balancing of both hands which carried the body easily and helped to stand as a Brave man in front of commander.

                 The smart actions and the way in which he disrespected the officer through the legs with boots inspite of his head made the scene as a climax.

which all miraculous creatures of the UNIVERSAL MIND
or GOD or NATURE or whichever
name you like to call. 

This is not to find fault with GOD's Divine Creatures.
We wonder seeing,feeling, perceiving and imagining
this MIRACULOUS UNIVERSE and
surrender fully to HIM. As I am transformed from 
non-believer to a man of fully devoted to God service
for the rest of life and having
some understanding of life because of the so many
Guru's divine spiritual words(read/heared) and by the
Grace of GOD experiencing some real peace,
having unconditional love to all creatures without
judgement and Joy(bliss or happiness) going in on
meditation for sometime and after getting an
opportunity
to write by the grace of God through Sri Selvam
siddhar I started writing. If you feel that you have
already achieved peace, love and joy
like the many realised persons of this world you
better stop here and BE AS YOU ARE.

Everybody or every creature of this miraculous God's
creation is Unique and Divine. This Universe, nOt even
single atom, exists withot HIM.

This is only the message of those saints and sages of
the past and present as understood by me. This is not
with the desire to change the world but
to give sometime to change ourselves. If you have some
time to GOD also you will have  peace, love and joy.
Read divine scriptures like The Holy Geeta,The 
Upanishads, the teachings of Self-Realised
souls(Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda, Sri
Aurobindo and so on), The Holy Bible, The Quran and
Buddha's teaching or whichever
you like to understand God and Life and where we are
in this Universe or who Am I. So the credit of this
writing is not mine. The Body, Mind and Intelligence
of VishnuShivapriyan is fully surrendered to That
Super Power which has created this Universe.

God is Love. So it is with love this VishnuShivapriyan
writes . Sharing whatever you have will multiply this
UNIVERSAL law.The UNIVERSAL CONSCIOSNESS has
created everything with a purpose. VishnuShivapriyan
purpose now in life, by the grace god, is to spread
peace, unconditional love and divine Joy.
Because of our ignorance we make paradise mother earth
a hell to live.
Ethanai Kodi Inbam thanthai Iraiva only comes to my
mind. 
As you sow so you reap. If you want peace, love and
joy in this world, sow and show whatever peace love
and joy you have in all possible ways.
For every action there is equal and opposite reaction.
Keeping this law in mind you decide your action in
this world.

For a ignorant mind God is No where. For an
intelligent mind God is Nowhere. God is everywhere and
in everything, all powerfull, without beginning and
end,
changeless in everchanging Universe, spread in all
directions endlessly, within and without and HE is
smaller than an atom and bigger than your imagined
world 
and Universe. 
Though VishnuShivapriyan read a lot of spiritual books
for more than 15years, VishnuShivapriyan started
meditating practically with the Mantra 
"OM MAMASHIVAYA " as advised by Siddhar Sri
Dharmalingam Swamigal present avtar of Siddhar Sri
Kagapujandar for some days and later included Divine
Mantra
" OM NAMO NARAYANAYA" with that. Everything happens
according to God's plan. He is Director of this Cosmic
worldly drama and we are only actors and spectators.
Within some days VishnuShivapriyan left 25 years of
cigarete smoking habit withot any urge to smoke again.
Now VishnuShivapriyan feels accepting life as given 
by God and this life itself a great wealth to relish
not to mourn. VishnuShivapriyan now feel more
peaceful. VishnuShivapriyan now able to have
unconditional
love with everybody without jealousy and judgement. My
life changed from the usual materialistic life of this
world to joyful spritual  dedicated to
God's service life. VishnuShivapriyan got the
opportunity to write as  wished. VishnuShivapriyan
gives below one poem written some time back in a
different
mode of life.
       ONLY GOD KNOWS

 I wonder why we forget the Father of the
 Universe;
 I wonder why we forget the Owner of the
 Universe;
 I wonder why we compete with one another
 for material things;
 I wonder why we forget the real Owner,the
 LORD;
 I wonder why we are searching happiness
 everywhere
 And in everything except God who is inside
 us too;
 I wonder why we are ignorant of miraculous
 Creation of GOD;
 I wonder why our desire is endless except
 God's desire;
 I wonder why we are not happy with what we
 have;
 I wonder when unconditional Love to the
 world going to spread;
 I wonder now Who is going to spread God's
 message to the world;
 I wonder who knows the Answer;ONLY GOD
 KNOWS!!!.

If you find something intersting in this will
continue...

MAY LOVE PEACE AND JOY PREVAIL EVERYWHERE. GOD BLESS
US.

 VishnuShivapriyan
