Catalyst

Hi friends 

Please lend your time to read my latest blog CATALYST.

In 'Diary,' the motto really is: 'Where Do You Get Your Inspiration?' It coaches us to be aware of our motives and not just be a reaction to the circumstances around us.

-Chuck Palahniuk

“Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story youpossibly can.” ― Douglas Pagels.

In chemistry catalyst is a substance which participates in a chemical reaction without changing itself. I compare our life time to many chemical reactions where in lot of ingredients like love ,faith ,anger ,ego, fear, anxiety and so many factors are interacted. Maintenance of diary or making a habit of writing a dairy will behave like a catalyst in our daily life.

In our school days our teachers used to insist us to maintain dairy so that we can improve our studying habits.

By writing the daily events at the end of the day we can filter negativity and prop up with positive thoughts for the next day. This catalyst called diary of events changes us to reorganize our habits, duties, assignments in a proper way. So the habit of writing dairy promotes us to discipline.

In fact by writing down the daily happenings we can overcome our anger, stress , anxiety. For example if we have shouted on an issue on that day, if we include it in the diary while writing, our mind will question us for what reason such an act happened and we will try to rectify ourselves for not  to behave in the same way the next day. 

Next comes the day’s achievements and useful deeds which we have executed in that day and we can repeat the same on the coming day.

Next comes adjustments of events. By looking at the series of events happened on the entire day, we can read  our schedule so that it will be more smoothly performed for the next day. 

Punctuality comes next. We can verify whether we concentrated on our practice of music, studying and our daily routine of physical and mental exercises as per schedule. So friends in the end if we ourselves read the daily events recorded by us in the dairy we feel so excited for what we have  achieved in the entire day.

Lastly one more thing I wanted to tell you is that we can confess with God for anything wrong done on that day.

My sincere request to all of you is to start writing diary daily before you go to bed and thank God for making you perform all the activities that entire day.

So let the CATALYST called DIARY shape our human interactions.

The four expedients.

Hello friends , 

In today's blog I want to talk about the four expedients  assured by the supreme lord to mankind to reach  and surrender to him.

Saint Thyagaraja in one of his composition in ragam kaapi naarayani says 

"sarasa Saama dhaana bedha dhanda chatura saati deivame".

 He enunciates lord Rama  used all these means sama,dhana,bedha,danda  to forgive Ravana to surrender himself to the Lord.

He says Rama first applied the expedient 'sama 'conciliation meaning  speaking to

Him wisely through his envoy hanumantha for an understanding to surrender hithavu maata lentho bhaaga balkithivi and Ravana was furious and acted as if  he was the all powerful expecting least of the future. 

Next Rama applied the second expedient' dhaana 'means offering him his own kingdom of Ayodhya and for a treaty to send back Seetha. sathamugaodhayanuichhinantivi. Even for this Ravana was not ready.

So next Rama used the next expedient' bhedha' in which he said he will make Vibhishana Ravana's younger brother as the  king of Lanka inducing a way of indifference between  him and his brother, nathasahodhurini raju jesi , meaning atleast by this Ravana will change his mind, but this  proved futile.

Rama was amazed to see that a great learned brahmin, a great devotee of Lord Shiva, a great scholar like Ravana paramashambhava agrasenundu is behaving like a beast .

And used his last expedient Dhanda to kill him as it was the only  resort to  behold Dharma ,'hathamujesithivi'.

So friends  in the journey of our life the lord the ultimate  goes on cautioning us with the all above four expedients in every  aspect .his advises are spread through saints, satsangs, well-wishers , and so on , but we  are not ready to take it in an analytic way.if everybody in this world go with the first expedient the conciliation  then there will not be any hatred, jealousy, egoism, terrorism which all lead to the destruction of mankind.

So friends whenever a suggestion is given to us we should be humble to analyse  at what context it is given which will smoothen  the happenings ahead. So let us not be hasty in taking decisions and adamant like Ravana.

Let us lead  our lives  understanding the  teachings of the wise.

Thank you for your precious time.

Family circle

Hello friends, 

Hope you had a good week end ending up with great day the MOTHER’S DAY. I am writing to you about some basics of geometry which is a branch of mathematics. Oh! are you shocked that I am teaching you geometry, not at all.

I am interpreting some concepts of geometry with the human relationships. Here I am dealing with a geometrical shape called CIRCLE. So what is a circle? It is a locus of number points drawn in a circular way.

The parts related to a circle being, circumference, centre radius diameter, chord and tangents.

First of all we will take circumference.it is the boundary of a circle and which I call it is the boundary for a family. Next we go to the point called centre from which the circle is drawn.

Centre is the core of a family from which originates number of issues.

Next part is the RADIUS. It is a line drawn from the centre to the circumference. This is most important line which establishes affection, love, faith, equality, and truthfulness  within the circle of family.it is equidistant from the centre and maintains its equality with the family.so we should be like radii in a circle.

Now we will consider the DIAMETER which is a line touching two opposite points on the circumference passing through the centre. So great people behave like these lines connecting the different views in the family circle and once again centralise the issues.

Next comes a line called CHORD. This is a line in a circle which touches the circle internally at any two points not passing through the centre.So there are such people who act like chords in our lives.

For appearance they will be present inside the family circle but do not bother to react with core and centralised views of the family. They pretend to be with you but internally they are not considerate to you.

Next comes the TANGENT. This line touches a circle outside the circle at a point. I personify these tangents to the people  who visit a family circle from outside, touching  the points on the  family circle with lot of gossip, nonsense, these people simply irritate the family circle with unnecessary points, which the family circle suffer with  misunderstandings and  misgivings.

So friends let us all behave like the RADII OF THE CIRCLE with the inner bondage of the GREAT CIRCLE CALLED FAMILY.

Good night have a nice week ahead. 

Thank you for reading my blog.

Highways and by lanes

Hello friends,

 today I wish to put before you some aspects of highways and by lanes in the journey of your lives.

Saint Thyagaraja  who was a great devotee of Lord Rama is considered to be one of the trinity of  classical music. The other two are shri Muthuswamy Dikshithar and Shyamashastri. All the three have composed many number of compositions  on Bhakthi, with meaningful themes.

 So saints have laid the path in high ways which takes us to  reach the Supreme.This has been very beautifully depicted in one of the compositions of St Thyagaraja, it goes like this' CHAKKANI RAJA MARGAMULUNDAGA SANDULA DOORA NELA MANASA', IN RAAGA  KHARAHARAPRIYA, meaning when there are royal roads and highways to  reach god , oh mind why are you opting for by lanes?

Highways pertains to the deep thinking, good attitude, faith, truthfulness,doing good deeds, helping the the needy and humbleness.by practicing these things one can surely   put oneself in the right highways.

 In the by-lanes there is a lot of congestion of traffic with jealousy, ego, selfishness, criticism, noise and all sorts of confusion, which is a hindrance to move forward and progress in life, here our minds gets confused to choose the way to travel and become helpless and suffer without knowing what to do.so friends let us all choose the highways which are broad and clean throughout rather than the by lanes to reach the ultimate.
