" veezhi kidaikuma abhaya karam kidaikuma

gurunathar charanathil eedam kidaikuma"

At any point our life does not stop. It keeps on running always in search of something or someone. The moment a want is satisfied another emerges. This is what Economists call the never ending cycle of want and desires.

We keep on going in circles and land at the point we started. We need to move out of the cycle and proceed forward in the direction of attaining a SATHGURU.

What a SATHGURU can do in our lives is magic. Our lives are like concentric circles. In the innermost circle we have our mind which influences our actions the most. In the next circle we have our likes and our dislikes. In the next outer circle we have our friends and relatives. Next we have our surroundings.

A Guru in order to uplift a person has to gradually cross each circle and move from our outer surrounding right into our innermost circle i.e. our mind. To establish Himself in the mind of shishyaas is not an easy job. Each moment a Guru is put to Agni-pariksha (test) and He has to prove Himself each time. Once the Guru settles in our mind we are insulated from our surroundings.

In theory it may seem good but the true essence of it can be experience when put into practice.

The world is so wonderful when you see it with a SATHGURU. Each moment becomes precious when you walk each step of your life with SATHGURU. Your life truly becomes worth-full. You don't waste time thinking about people and analyzing their faults or uselessly anticipating about tomorrow. You don't get lost and then wonder how far has my thinking/mind has gone?

These changes may not come overnight. You keep on practicing the principle preached by Guru, and one day if you look back you would be surprised to see changes within you. It is at this point we start liking ourselves and know true value of Guru.

The whole phenomenon of making our life more beautiful would be possible only with a grace of Guru.

It is rightly said in the above verse veezhi kidaikuma........ would I get a graceful vision of SATHGURU so that all our sins and misfortunes burns by His one divine vision.

Abhaya karam kidaikuma........ would I get a hand that always there to protect me from difficulty or any problem. A divine hand which always there to bless us and shower His grace.

Gurunathar charanathil eedam kidaikuma......... would I get a place in the divine feet of Guru so that rest of the life we can relax, not worrying about our life. We fell secured like a child in the mother's hand.

Such is the fame of Guru, we have to crave for his blessings, his vision and for a place under his shadow.

' short stories to regain your faith '

Festivity has become a mere media created hype. Marketing managers use festivity to announce new offers, discounts etc. Advertisers use it as a theme for their advertisements. Festival has become a commercial commodity. The value of festival or of those celebrating it is derived from the grand manner in which the festival took place. Huger the idol of God and Goddess bigger is the fame the organizers get. Festivals have just become manifestation of wealth. Now it is Diwali time, everyone is busy shopping for cloths, gifts, sweets etc. In this hustle and bustle little do we realize the true meaning and intention behind celebrating these festivals.

Festivity is an environment where everyone surrounding us is happy. The happiness should be eternal one and not the happiness you get by wearing new cloths or receiving/giving gifts etc. Once the festive season is over, life is back to normal.

We expect the brightness of festivals to last eternally but in vain. Devotion, love for God, bhajans can bring back freshness into our life. This may be conceived as paradox by many. Because according to our definition spirituality, devotion, bhajans are outdated, dull and boring. So how can these things bring fragrance into our lives? The only answer could be practice and realize it yourself.

Here is a short story of aachyuta priyaa [The one loved by Bagawan KRISHNA] and mahima of namasankeertanam.

There was a small town ruled by a king. The king was a self-proud and self-centered person. One night he and his minister were walking around the town incognito to see the real state of affairs of the kingdom.

As they were walking they came across two beggars. One who was begging for alms praising the name of Bagawan Krishna and singing bhajans? And other one who was begging, praising the virtue of the king

The king was very pleased with the beggar who was praising him. The king said to minister "I am very happy with the beggar who is singing my virtue and I will make him rich for this reason". The minister replied "we as human being cannot change anyone. Everything happens only according to the wishes of Bagawan Krishna".

This is a core fact we as a human beings are unfit. It is only Bagawan Krishna who has power to do anything. Our duty is to surrender to him and he as a caretaker will fulfill our needs.

The king was not able to digest the truth in minister's words. The king being angry replied "You wait and watch how I make this beggar a rich fellow".

The king with the intention of making that beggar a rich one arranged for a feast where he invited all beggars for the feast. The beggars, the one who was praising Bagawan Krishna and the one who was praising the king had also come.

King had specially designed a pumpkin inside which he had put precious stones, jewellery, gold, silver etc.... which would worth a fortune.

After the feast got over, the king started distributing presents/gifts to everyone. He gave the specially designed pumpkin to the beggar with whom he was pleased. He gave the other beggar 5(five) rupees.

Few days later, the king and his minister were again walking around the town in disguise. To their surprise they saw the beggar, who was begging by chanting Bagawan Krishna's name, had become rich man and was donating food to poor. And the beggar who was praising king still was begging................

Keep on guessing till next month and keep on chanting to find what really happened?..........

RADHEKRISHNA!

' power of divine grace '

Radhekrishna. My namaskarams to the Lotus feet of Guruji Amma and Guruji. Life has totally changed after residing Guruj Amma and Guruji. Amma always tells everyone to do Namajabam of Radhekrishna and do that. After doing namajabam I can see many changes in my life. Daily I pray to Guruji Amma and start my day and do all my work end in success in Guruji Ammas krupai. Praying to Krishna and doing total Saranagathi to Him is new concept t me and it has always worked in my work.

Once I was returning home from school, the roads were not proper and there were many stones. I was chanting radhekrishna while walking. I did not notice while walking and hit a stone and I fell down. Abut Krishna saved me. I was about to starch my chin on the road and my teeth would have broken and also my spectales would havae broken but Krishna rescued from all these consequences. I thanked Guruji amma for helping me.

Another case happened when I forgot to study a diagram in Biology exams. I surrendered to Krishna and said by mistake I forgot to study please help me. At that time I got a break of half an hour before exams and I glanced through the unnoticed diagram. With Krishnas krupai a question was asked on that particular diagram. I was very happy and thanked Krishna. Almost every day I come through some or the other experience.

Sometimes I lose something and after surrendering to Krishna in some or the other way I got it back. While writing exams also I pray before starting and when I cant remember any answers, I pray to Guruji Amma and surrender myself. After doing this I remember and write well. I thank Guruji Amma to insist me to do more and more chanting. After doing namajapam with Ammas krupai I experience more in life.
