TEMPLE ARRANGEMENTS


we often go to temples......we see things around...but they convey a highly valuable hidden message!

the statue of NANDI:
" like the nandi, sit for long hours without moving in meditation"

the BELL:
"society and sorroundings may disturb and criticise you,but behold your stance"

the TORTOISE:
( peedam near kodikambam)
"while meditating control your indriyas(senses) like a tortoise drawing in to its shell, its limbs"- bramhacharya

ANJANEYA:
if you do so(all the above)
"your power increases"

GANAPATHI:
"keep on meditiating,your vision(God's knowledge) improves-like the vision of an elephant"

SAKTHI:
"stronger the vision, you get more power"(sakthi)

SHIVA:
"when yuo attain this kind of sakthi, shiva is not so far"

i hope this intresting information will definitely flash in your mind ,next time you visit a temple....

AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)



2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)



3. Add 5



4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator



5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 ....If you haven't, add 1755.6.




Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number




The first digit of this was your original number(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

DO YOU FEEL LIKE QUITTING?

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my friends, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me... Look around", He said.
"Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
He said. "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit."
He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.
Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you."
"Don"t compare yourself to others." He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful." "Your time will come",
God said to me. "You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

Never, Never, Never Give up.
