April 19th-GOOD FRIDAY!

Oh! Lord My Jesus! Creator of this world
Thee have blessed me with birth to live good and bold
Let me be a good Christian and follow
All Thy teachings and preaching- not shallow!

Yes that is what I pray on this holy day GOOD FRIDAY nineteenth April
Not indeeda GOOD Friday but an event sad and bleak but the day
Remembering a day of suffering and death for Jesus. a crucial day
Of the year.The death of Jesus and his soul was raised,
The cross and resurrection of Jesus turning point for all creation.
Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and then again raised to life
On the very third day following the divine promises.
Love all serve all, help ever hurt never-He lived and guides us!

 

THREE D’S DAY IS TODAY!

THREE D’S DAY is today the Eighteenth April-very important day
This is DEMOCRACY’S DEMAND on me DAY! Democracy’s right day to me!
My right to vote I will not let go off-but my Lord I am not in the list!!!
From  my twenty second year till this day I have not missed any
Local, State or Central -my greatest right and privilege it is!

Feeling pretty great as a part of this great Indian democracy!
Out of five  hundred and forty three constituencies all over
Eighty five in thirteen States including mine go to polls today
Including my State of Tamilnadu where I will have to!

It is  unfortunate that the voters in general are becoming
Apathetic towards elections and do not avail their democratic right
As is seen by the dwindling percentage of voting.   Young and old voters
Should do it as their  sacred duty towards our motherland !

 

 

DIVINE WEDDING!

God created the world-humans and animals, forests and valleys,
Mountains and seas  for all the living beings to live in peace and plenty!
Man in his wisdom created festivals of all types in all religions
To be emulated and practiced by all in all regions and religions!

Divine wedding in Madurai- a holy place in Tamilnadu a pious festival!
Meenakshi Thirukalyanam is the divine wedding of Meenakshi Amman with Lord Shiva.
Held in Madurai, the cultural capital of Tamil Nadu the biggest event it is.
Legends say that Lord Shiva visited Madurai to tie the nuptial knots with Meenakshi.

Annual event takes place in ‘Meenakshi Amman Temple’ at Madurai-
Devotees from all corners of the world come to witness this DIVINE WEDDING!
As aA part of the renowned Chithirai festival, Meenakshi Thirukalyanam is
Held on the tenth day. Devotees throng in thousands to seek the divine blessings!

NATIONAL STRESS AWARENESS DAY-April 16th.

 

Stress and strain part of our life-age and employment, wealth and health
Have little to impact-negative or positive, negative and positive! a paradox!
What stress can do can be experienced- more important is to be aware of stress
And the ways to be away from or not to fall a victim to stress!

Today April sixteenth is National Stress Awareness Day. The day
Designed by the Health Resource Network in nineteen ninety two to raise
Awareness of stress. Day is a chance to take a deep breath and relax.
Stress has a negative effect on the immune system -research has proved.

Chronic stress takes greater toll on our body than acute stress.
Raises blood pressure, increases the risk of heart attack and stroke,
Anxiety and depression, hastens the aging process.
Stress is one omnipresent
Easily coped sure by the competent
On the body and on the mind
On the soul and on the intellect
Age and sex, wealth and status
Stress of-course has little respect!

Faith in God, self and people
Fair to all with love and scruple
Thoughts noble and deeds worthy
Happy hobbies and habits healthy
Yoga sure a medicine for stress
Love for nature, animals and people
Through stress and strain nothing can topple!

PATRIOT DAY!

A special day for special thoughts, words and deeds for all to know!
Patriot Day is the third Monday of April in United States!
Better to think of much exhorted PATRIOTISM than the patriots.
Noble trait, virtue and quality sure is patriotism!

Patriotism- national pride the feeling of love, devotion
And sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other
Citizens with the same sentiment. can be a combination of many
Feelings – own homeland, ethnic, cultural, political aspects!

Patriotism- love for one’s native land and may be symbolism
Of culture,agriculture social bond and the soil in which born!
Patriotism induces nationalism not much different
Yet is -let us develop in our youngsters -nation will progress!

விகாரி ஆண்டு விருந்தாய் வருகுது
புகார் இல்லாத ஆண்டாய் மலருது!
முப்பத்து மூன்றாம் ஆண்டு இது
முத்து முத்தான ஆண்டு இது!

முழுமையாக மகிழ்விருக்கும்
எழுந்து நம்மை விரையச்செய்யும்
பழுத்த கருத்துக்களைப் பரவச் செய்யும்
அழுத்தமான வாழ்வு நம்மை அலங்கரிக்கும்!

விகாரி ஆண்டு விகார எண்ணங்களை
விரட்டி அடிக்கும்!
பலகால நட்பதனை நாடச் செய்யும்
வருங்காலச் சிறப்பதனைக் கூட்டுவிக்கும்!
விகாரி ஆண்டதனைக் கை கூப்பி
வரவேற்போம்! வாய் நிறைய வாழ்த்திடுவோம்!

வண்ண வண்ணக் கோலமிட்டு
வாயிலிலே காத்திருப்போம்!
விகாரியே வருக! விருந்தாக அமைந்திடுக!

April 13th Birth Day of GANDHIJI’S GOD!

 

Last words of the dying normal human being  groaning and weeping
Hence Mahatma Gandhi Mahatmaji fell backwards on getting bullet shots
Chanting RAM RAM- some say he chanted HEY RAM-RAM was in his lips
Today is SRI RAMA NAVAMI -birth day of LORD RAM -a HOLY DAY !

Ram Navami religious and traditional festival, celebrated
With great enthusiasm by the Hindus all over on the birthday
Of the Lord Rama, the seventh avatar from the Dashavatar
Of the Lord Vishnu.this festival falling on ninth day in Chaitra.

The great Avatar to demonstrate how a human must live on earth
Love and obedience for parents; taking care of brothers and friends
Even under the most trying circumstances in life one may face
On this holy day let us invoke HIS blessings to lead a noble life!
