VOICE OF VALLUVAR 1

Thirukkural ,magnum opus, the most valuable and tallest Tamil literature has 1330 couplets. The following are first ten duly translated by me in English in  Haiku format- 5-7-5 syllables -first and third lines rhyming.

I am sure our esteemed viewers will welcome this post.

1
“A” leads the language
The Lord Almighty protects
Like peacock’s plumage!
2
Learning lacks meaning
If the learner believes not
In Him – protecting!
3
He surely lives long
Who seeks the feet of the Lord
To whom the noble throng!
4                                    .
To the one who clings
To HIM beyond likes-dislikes
No woes the life brings!
5
Who sings in HIS praise
Seeking HIS love and grace
Freed from the sins nice!
6.
For long he lives for sure
Who treads HIS path sans desires
In this world – pure!
7
Who seeks not HIM whose
Compassion beyond compare
Never free from worry’s woes!
8.
He can’t cross the sea
Of sins if he thinks not HIM
Indeed Virtues Sea!
9
Those heads that pray not
The God of eight virtues sure
Have eyes and ears just dot(s)!
10.
Those who pray the Lord
Nicely cross the sea of birth
Others don’t – face woes!

ASH WEDNESDAY 26th February

A cross marked from ash or dust on a worshiper’s forehead

Every religion has its own philosophy and principles,
Practices and festivals and Christianity has its own!
Twenty Sixth February today is a day of fasting and prayer.
Ash Wednesday  holy day  preceded by Shrove Tuesday
And falls on the first day of Lent the six weeks of penitence
Before Easter. Ash Wednesday  traditionally observed by
Western Christians.Observed by Anglicans, Catholics in the Roman Rite, Lutherans, Methodists, Moravian, Nazarene,
Independent Catholics,  many from the Reformed faith.

Ash Wednesday gets its name from the placing of repentance
Ashes on the foreheads of participants to either the words
“Repent, and believe in the Gospel” or the dictum “Remember that you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”The ashes are prepared by burning
Palm leaves from the previous year’s Palm Sunday celebrations.

Mirra Alfassa Birth Day 21st February IS 46

Mirra Alfassa (21 February 1878 – 17 November 1973)-Pondichery Mother

People born all over the world become Saints and Seers guiding
The world and society towards spirituality-men or women making
No difference. Mother-Pondicherry- Aurabindo Ashram is one
Revered by all  In India and everywhere in the world!

Mirra Alfassa born on this day in Eighteen Seventy Eight
And lived up to Seventeenth November Nineteen Seventy Three,
Known to her followers as The Mother, was a spiritual guru,
An occultist and close to  Sri Aurobindo, who considered her
To be of equal yogic stature to him and called her by the name “The Mother”.
She founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and established Auroville
As  universal town; she was influence and inspiration to many writers and
Spiritual personalities on  Integral Yoga.

Mother was born in Paris at a bourgeois family.  she travelled to Algeria
To practise occultism under Max Théon. Then, she travelled Around
The world and finally settled in Pondicherry,  with Sri Aurobindo and his Followers.  settlement was turned into an ashram over the years, where she worked with
Sri Aurobindo in establishing Integral Yoga and guiding its Pupils.
In nineteen forty three, she started a school in the ashram
In nineteen sixty eight established Auroville, an experimental township
Free from discrimination of nationality, language, creed and politics.

My departed wife was a devotee strong for long and write to her for her grace
And soon will get solution satisfactory and prasad packet from Ashram  nice!

Aurabindo Ashram, Pondichery.

Ardent disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa and a major force

In the revival of Hinduism in India. He pushed for national integration in
Colonial India, and his famous Chicago speech in Eighteen Ninety Three Remains
As the greatest: “Brothers and Sisters of America”! His main objective was to promote rational thinking among the youth, the future of the country.

It expected of the youth to rise to the occasion, fight for the right and
Channel their inner energies, just like Swami Vivekananda would have
Functions are organised in schools and colleges, where the young minds are. Speeches, music, Recitation and essay-writing competitions, yogasanas, are held on this day.Students are encouraged to tap into their spirituality.
