Standards of Indian Newspapers

After several years in Middle East when I returned to India and traveled across the country, I
realized how much the standard of Indian newspapers has gone down. Cheap commercial-
ized articles, nude photographs in the name of fashion section, relying on only film industry
sources and public advertisements released by brothel houses in the name of massage par-
lors.
Times of India and Hindustan Times, once used to be a start of the “Election Fever in Tamil
Nadu”
day for several readers, being delivered in the schools for the bene-
fits of students are in cut throat competition to demonstrate how
cheap they can become by publishing only what they think as sensational stuff and forgetting
all the ethics and values of newspaper’s role for the benefits of the Indian society.

The Hindu, still stands on the top, with the quality and content kept intact in spite of com-
petition from commercialized counterparts.

Krishna, my beloved
O Wind, here is a request from an old dame
Kind and generous you are in this world of name
Please carry my story to my beloved without fail
Waiting am I for an answer with a wail
Sure you too would shed tears hearing my tale
For his acts were nothing short of gale
I was innocent and fresh as a flower
Knew not anything of fame or power
Played merrily with peals of laughter
Balanced my acts of duty with less chatter
Looked around suddenly as I extended my wing
Only to be carried away by this charming king
With a singing tone he entered into my den
Looked into my eyes even in a group of ten
Black is he yet he made me stumble at his feet
Cornering me he spoke tales of his feat
Laden with love he approached me to hold
Thrilled was I as I saw one who was bold
He is very black and I am only fair
His beauty radiated even my hearty lair
He is all-knowing and I am only dunce
But his compassion made me at ease at once
His eyes are expressive but mine are very dull
Yet they spoke his love for me in a lull
He is full of fun while I am such a bore
Yet he had lots to share piled in his store
He had married many and I am married too
Yet he comforted that love only counts in what I do
He had many lovers but I had none at my stake
He came behind this fool only to take
My life too blossomed all of a sudden
For he kissed my tears in my dreams even
My duties mocked me from a distance
They appeared too worldly in my own stance
I longed to be with this boy leaving everything
Yet I had my duties to keep me in my ring
I blushed when he stamped me as innocent
Grieved when I failed to see his face pleasant
Laughed when he cracked jokes in an instant
Contented when I saw him even for a moment
Wondered when he displayed his unmatched strength
Cried a lot when he did not speak to me in length
On the fateful day, he flew away from my tent
Leaving me with memories only to lament
Can you locate him from wherever he is hiding?
O Wind, explain to him my soulful tears that are flowing
Be careful in identifying my beloved correctly
Deliver my message of love whose heart pine longingly
My people are ever vigilant about my craziness
So secretly deliver this message but only in hastiness
Theni—April 2006
Tell him I am disturbed terribly by his eyes
Remembering his lips that never told lies
Was tripped by his beauty that is black to behold
As he stole my heart by his song of flute in his fold
Am unable to eat even a morsel of food in distress
Also hate to beautify as I care for myself less
Heard that he is still a man of fun
Does he not remember our days of pun?
If at all he wanted to leave me for ever
Why should he play with my feelings ever?
I am equally blamed for I was also a part of this clandestine
love
Yet he too is answerable to calls of this love
Tell him I want to meet him only once
Tell my woes of separation that burns me since
Tell him of the madness of my present state
Tell him I know only to think of him of late
Tell him of my tales of cries for his welfare
Tell him I have forgotten about myself in this life of warfare
Shake him to answer his lady love who is sad
Find out at least if he recollects me who is mad
Do you know O wind, that only women face the brunt?
Is he not a testimony to attest my statement?
I may die of his separation as I am unable to bear
No, no, if I die the world would talk bad of my dear
I see him only as he has filled my mind and heart
Hear from me, I begin my day only with a painful start
Hesitate not, for my words are nothing but truth
Convey my undying love to my boy of blithe
What should I do now as I really do not know?
Ah! Let him answer for he is my Lord before whom I bow
So what, is he not my beloved who is only mine
There is no me or he in my love and pain
Yet this wisdom does not dawn on me quite often
My tearful eyes wait longingly for a union
Hear this secret that my beloved is my all in this life
Though my body is highly duty bound as a wife
What else can I do I know not as he ignores this stupid?
Yet my language and knowledge is only love for my beloved
-Padmaja Balaji

Life of Christ

Trials of Jesus
Jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus. They accused him of blasphemy, and
had Jesus arrested.
A Roman governor named Pilate tried Jesus. He wanted to release Jesus.
But when the Jews threatened to riot, Pilate condemned Jesus to death on
a cross.

Death
Jesus was sentenced to death by crucifixion. He was beaten by Roman sol-
diers, scourged, stripped, and nailed to a cross. He was crucified between
two robbers, and died.

Burial
His body was placed in the new tomb of a rich man named Joseph of Ari-
mathea. Jesus had promised the disciples he would come back after he
died. His enemies knew this. So, to prevent anyone from stealing the
body, they had soldiers guard the tomb of Jesus.

Resurrection
On the third day after Jesus died, an angel descended, and the soldiers
fled. The disciples came and found an empty tomb. Jesus had risen from
the dead!
He later appeared to many believers, commanding them to teach and bap-
tize others.

The 7th Word (The Door to Human Happiness)

A comparison showing how belief in God and the Hereafter are two talismans which both solve the
riddle of creation and open the door of happiness for man.

The 8th Word (The Necessity of Religion)

On the true nature of religion, this world, man, and belief in God, and a comparison between the
way of the Qur'an and that of unbelief and their results for man's heart and spirit.

The 9th Word (The Different Prayer Times)

Each prescribed prayer time points to a mighty revolution, is a sign to the Master’s tremendous ac-
tivity, and a token of the universal Divine bounties. And so this matter is a result of perfect wis-
dom.

The 11th Word (Creation and Prayer)

If you want to understand something of the Divine purposes for creating humanity and the uni-
verse, and why the five daily prayers are obligatory, listen to this parable.

The 21st Word (The Prayer and Cures)

O foolish soul. Is this duty of worship so fruitless and its reward so little that you feel weary? Con-
sider this: If someone offers you money or threatens you, you would work until evening without
respite.

Who are you?

Poem By
Padmaja Balaji

Listen to the words of teacher intently

Abide by those precepts diligently
I guarantee you will understand gradually
That your teacher is only you casually
Hope you understood the above clearly
Lead a life of love and silence inwardly

It is a difficult task to shower unconditional / universal love upon people especially

in today's hypocritical world. Now we have love which has expectations of our be-
loved ones, or it is limited love, personalized love, individual love. But a love which
expects nothing of anybody else whatsoever, it loves all and everything in the uni-
verse, that is universal love. For a spiritual aspirant, this would be a main asset, help-
ing him to shorten the path to reach the Goal manifold.

How to create Universal Love? The answer is "Love Him who loves all." So in some
mysterious way, when we love Him who loves all, there seems to be a canalization or
a channeling of the love resources of the entire human potential, the human race, into
one vessel, into one receptacle, which being totally unselfish, being totally concerned
with the total universe as such is able to mobilize those accumulated resources for the
welfare of all.

It was Kabir who said that the path of love is so narrow that only one can walk. Even
two lovers cannot walk through it or walk on it. The inner meaning of the Saint's
statement is "Carry the beloved in yourself". So, in that sense, loving perhaps means
putting into your heart him or her whom you wish to love. Here it is the God. So we
have to learn to love the God in such a wonderful way that He becomes the occupant,
the tenant of my inner self, my heart and eventually by loving Him to the exclusion
of everything else, we forget to see anything else. We see only Him. Our entire exis-
tence becomes centered on Him. He now becomes, instead of the tenant of my heart,
the Master of my heart. He takes over my existence and then we find this miracle that
the qualities of His heart become the qualities of my heart, and then only the miracle
happens that I have created love in my heart not by creating it in myself but by bring-
ing love into my heart, as embodied in the Master. So the only true way of creating a
sustained, sustaining, self-sustaining, ever pervasive love, which can transcend the
barriers of even mortal existence and go with us to the hereafter, is to bring the
source of love into our hearts.

Purana
Compiled by the Dharmic Scriptures Team

Creation of Rudra and Omnipresence of Laxmi

In the beginning of Kalpa when Brahma was thinking about a son, who would be like him in virtues, a boy with reddish-
blue body appeared in his lap. Brahma addressed the boy with names like Rudra, Bhava, Shiv, Ibhaan, Pashupati,
Bheema, Ugra and Mahadev. Brahma also fixed Surya, water, earth, air, fire, sky, Dikshit (graduate scholar) Brahmin
and the Moon His abode. Since then, all these things idolise Shiv. These eleven idols of Shiv have wives like Suvar-
chala, Usha, Vikeshi, Apara, Shiva, Swaha, Disha and Rohini. Shanaishchar, Shukra, Lohitaang, Manojav, Skand, Sarg,
Santaan and Buddh are the sons of these idols respectively. Rudra Himself got Sati, the daughter of Daksha Prajapati as
His wife. Sati had committed self-immolation because of the disrespect that her father had shown for her husband. In her
next birth, she had appeared as Parvati, the daughter of Himalaya and Maina. Parvati too got married to Shiv. Khyaati
got married to Bhrigu and gave birth to two sons Dhata and Vidhaata and a daughter Lakshmi. Lakshmi then married
Lord Vishnu.

Maitreya says - "O sage! It is heard that Lakshmi was produced from Ksheersagar during the churning of the sea but you
say that Lakshmi was the daughter of Bhrigu and Khyaati. How is it possible?"

Parashar says- "O great Brahmin! Lakshmi who never separates from the Lord is Herself eternal like Him. But still, as
you have expressed your doubt, I will narrate you the real story."

The famous short-tempered sage Durvaasa is a partial incarnation of Shankar. One day, he was wandering on the earth
when all of a sudden, he happened to see an extremely divine beauty. She was wearing a garland of beautiful flowers.
The sage requested the beauty to give him that garland. She presented the garland respectfully to the sage. The sage
adorned the garland on his head and began to wander again. Right at that moment, he saw Indra riding on Airaavat and
going somewhere in the procession of the gods. Instinctively, sage Durvaasa put that garland around the neck of Indra
but Indra removed it and put it on Airaavat’s head. Airaavat pulled the garland with his trunk and smashed it on the
ground. This whole sequence of events infuriated Durvaasa who cursed Indra. "O Indra! You are so inebriated with your
luxuries that you dared to insult my humble gift. Hence, all your splendour shall be destroyed. You will lose all your
wealth."

Indra at once descended from the elephant and began to request sage Durvaasa. Durvaasa said- "Indra! Forgiveness
has no place in my personality. So, all your repenting is meaningless." Saying this, sage Durvaasa departed from the
scene and Indra to left for Amravati.

Very soon, the curse began to show its influence. With the loss of Indra’s luxuries, all the verdancy on the earth too be-
gan to wane. Hermits too began to give up Yagyas. All the human beings began to be guided by greed and gave up pi-
ous virtues. And at a place where pious virtues have no room, Lakshmi too doesn’t stay there.

She made her abode in the abysmal depth of the sea. Very soon, the demons launched an attack on the gods and drove
them out of heaven. Indra along with other gods approached Brahma and told him the whole thing. Brahma suggested
them to take refuge at Lord Vishnu. He assured them also that Lord Vishnu would definitely protect them. Brahma even
accompanied the gods to Lord Vishnu. There, they together prayed Lord Vishnu and intimated Him about their ordeal.

Pleased by their prayers, Lord Vishnu appeared before them and said- "I will definitely help you regain your splendour.
Presently, do what I say. You reconcile with the demons and convince them to carry out the churning of the sea. Then
bring all kinds of herbs and put them in the sea. With the help of the demons and using Mandaraachal as churner and
Vaasuki, the Naag as the rope to carry out the churning of the sea. Thus, you will recover ambrosia drinking which, all of
you will become immortal and regain your strength."

This is true of man collectively. The race as a whole is always abundantly rich,
and if individuals are poor it is because they do not follow the certain way of do-
ing things which makes the individual rich.
The formless stuff is intelligent; it is stuff which thinks. It is alive and is always
impelled toward more life.
It is the natural and inherent impulse of life to seek to live more; it is the nature
of intelligence to enlarge itself, and of consciousness to seek to extend its
boundaries and find fuller expression. The universe of forms has been made by
formless living substance throwing itself into form in order to express itself more
fully.
The universe is a great living presence, always moving inherently toward more
life and fuller functioning.
Nature is formed for the advancement of life, and its impelling motive is the in-
crease of life.
Because of this, everything which can possibly minister to life is bountifully pro-
vided. There can be no lack unless God is to contradict himself and nullify his
own works.
You are not kept poor by lack in the supply of riches. It is a fact which I shall
demonstrate a little farther on that even the resources of the formless supply are
at the command of the man or woman who will act and think in a certain way.

PAGE 32
 Theni—April 2006

CHAPTER 4
The First Principle in The Science of Getting Rich
THOUGHT IS THE ONLY POWER WHICH CAN PRODUCE TANGIBLE RICHES from the formless substance.
The stuff from which all things are made is a substance which thinks, and a thought of form in this
substance produces the form.
Original substance moves according to its thoughts; every form and process you see in nature is the
visible expression of a thought in original substance. As the formless stuff thinks of a form, it takes that
form; as it thinks of a motion, it makes that motion. That is the way all things were created. We live in
a thought world, which is part of a thought universe. The thought of a moving universe extended
throughout formless substance, and the thinking stuff — moving according to that thought — took the
form of systems of planets, and maintains that form. Thinking substance takes the form of its thought,
and moves according to the thought.
Holding the idea of a circling system of suns and worlds, it takes the form of these bodies, and
moves them as it thinks. Thinking the form of a slow-growing oak tree, it moves accordingly, and
produces the tree, though centuries may be required to do the work. In creating, the formless seems to
move according to the lines of motion it has established. In other words, the thought of an oak tree does
not cause the instant formation of a full-grown tree, but it does start in motion the forces which will
produce the tree, along established lines of growth.
Every thought of form, held in thinking substance, causes the creation of the form, but always, or
at least generally, along lines of growth and action already established.
The thought of a house of a certain construction, if it were impressed upon formless substance,
might not cause the instant formation of the house, but it would cause the turning of creative energies
already working in trade and commerce into such channels as to result in the speedy building of the
house. And if there were no existing channels through which the creative energy could work, then the
house would be formed directly from primal substance, without waiting for the slow processes of the
organic and inorganic world.
No thought of form can be impressed upon original substance without causing the creation of the form.
A person is a thinking center and can originate thought. All the forms that a person fashions with
his hands must first exist in his thought. He cannot shape a thing until he has thought that thing.
So far, humankind has confined its efforts wholly to the work of its hands, applying manual labor
to the world of forms and seeking to change or modify those already existing. Humankind has never
thought of trying to cause the creation of new forms by impressing thought upon formless substance.
When a person has a thought-form, he takes material from the forms of nature and makes an
image of the form which is in his mind. People have, so far, made little or no effort to cooperate with
formless intelligence — to work “with the Father.” The individual has not dreamed that he can “do
what he seeth the Father doing.” An individual reshapes and modifies existing forms by manual labor
and has given no attention to the question of whether he may produce things from formless substance
by communicating his thoughts to it.

Following the advice of Lord Vishnu, the gods reconciled with the demons and convinced them to carry out the churning
of the sea. They together procured all kinds of herbs and put them in the sea. Then they began the churning using Man-
daraachal Mountain. As soon as the churning began, Mandaraachal began to sink. Lord Vishnu took incarnation of
Kachchhap (the great tortoise) and bore the weight of the mighty mountain on His back. During the churning, Kamad-
henu, the wishful cow was the first to emerge. It was presented to the sages as an aid for their Yagyas. It was followed
by the damsel, Vaaruni, Kalpavriksha (the wishful tree) after which, beautiful elves appeared. The Moon followed the
elves and was taken up by Shiva on His forehead. During the churning, huge quantity of poison had also emerged. It
was drunk by Lord Shiva and some parts of it were taken up by the serpents. In the end, Dhanvantari himself emerged
from the sea carrying the urn of ambrosia.

It was during the churning itself that Lakshmi appeared once again from the sea holding lotuses in her hands. All the
sages prayed her. Then taking bath with divine water, goddess Lakshmi took her seat in the heart of Lord Vishnu.

When the demons saw that Lakshmi had chosen Lord Vishnu’s heart as her abode, they got perplexed. They at once
snatched the urn from Dhanvantari and ran away. Then a row broke out among them over the drinking of ambrosia.
Each of the demons wanted to drink ambrosia in maximum quantity. Meanwhile, Lord Vishnu also arrived there in the
guise of an extremely pretty woman Mohini and took possession of the urn. Mohini had pleased the demons with her
sweet smile while distributing ambrosia among the gods.

Thus, the gods came to drink ambrosia. When at last, the demons realised that they had been cheated they immediately
attacked the gods. But since the gods had regained their strength, they soon defeated the demons without much ado.
Afterwards, the gods prayed Lord Vishnu and returned to heaven to rule it. The world also regained its verdancy. After
regaining his splendour, comforts and luxuries of the heaven, Indra prayed goddess Lakshmi with devotion and respect.

Pleased by the prayers of Indra, Lakshmi asked him to seek a boon. Indra said- "O goddess! If you are pleased with me,
kindly bless me with a boon that first you will never desert this world and also that you will never desert those who wor-
ship you with this prayer." Lakshmi granted these boons.

Thus, Lakshmi had appeared as the daughter of Bhrigu and his wife Khyaati. Then second time, she emerged from be-
neath the sea during its churning. Thus, whenever Lord Vishnu takes an incarnation, Lakshmi accompanies Him. When
God appears in divine form, she too takes a divine appearance. When God appears in human form, Lakshmi appears in
human form also.
Dhruv’s Migration to the Forest
Swayambhu Manu had two sons- Priyavrata and Utaanpaad. Utaanpaad had two wives- Suruchi and Suniti. Suruchi had
a son- Uttam while Suniti had also a son- Dhruv. King Utaanpaad loved Suruchi more than he loved Suniti.

One day the king was sitting on the throne. Prince Uttam was playing in his lap. Meanwhile Dhruv also arrived there and
insisted to play in the lap of his father. At his insistence, queen Suruchi ridiculed that as he was not born to her he had
no right to the king’s love, … "so your insistence is useless. Though you are also a son of this king but this throne be-
longs to my son. Don’t you know that you have been born to Suniti."

Getting angry over his stepmother’s ridicules, Dhruv went to his mother. Suniti consoled her son and enquired about the
reason for his anger. Dhruv narrated the whole thing to his mother. Suniti too got perplexed and said: "O son! Suniti
speaks the truth but you don’t worry for no one can do away the virtues of your deeds that you performed in your previ-
ous birth. Hence you should not feel sorry over such petty things. If you feel really sorry by the words of your stepmother
why don’t you try to gather virtues? Why don’t you try to be a gentle and altruistic person?"
