Mail of the week - 32

Quote of the week:
------------------

     Kalla vaedam punaiyadhae - pala
        gangaiye laeyun kadam nanaiyaadhae
     kollai kolla ninayadhae - natpu
        kondu purindhunee koal munaiyadhae.
 				-  Kaduveli sithhar

     [Kalla - wicked; vaedam - makeup; punaiy - wore; pala - many;
gangai - Holy Ganges; un - your; kadam(n) - debts (sin); nanaiyaadh(u) -
will not clear; kollai - loot; ninayaadhae - think not; natpu -
friendship; koal - complain; munaiyaadhae - donot try]

     [Donot try to act, for your sins will not clear even after taking
bath in many Holy (Ganges) rivers; never think of acquiring other's
possesions; after making friendship, never try to complain.]

Kural of the week:
------------------

     Arampolum koormaiya raenum marampolvar
     makkatpanbu illaa dhavar.

     [Aram - saw (tool to cut trees/pipes); polum - like; koormai -
sharp; maram - tree; makka(l) - people; illaa - without ]

     [Though one may have sharp knowledge/sense, he is nothing but a
tree, if he lacks good humane qualities.]

Why do idols have multiple heads, hands, etc. ?
-----------------------------------------------

      "Because God is not human. He is Super-human. He is super-natural
and super-powerful. He alone is Supreme. If we humans mere mortals -
with our God given brains and hands, can invent such marvels as
aeroplane, telephone, x-ray, computer, spaceship etc. how much greater
the brains and hands of God must be to create, with mathematical
precision, the great universe with its solar system of the sun, stars
and planets, the mountains, seas, plants, birds, animals, insects and
humans. Yet each species is distinctly different. Each human being is an
individual. You are a miracle of God's creation. There is no one
identical to you, never has been and never will be. Even your finger
prints will never match those of any other person, living, dead or to be
born. Isn't that a marvel ? How does one portray this Almighty Genius ?
Well... the sages have attempted to do so by showing God as having many
heads and many hands in order to represent His Supreme Power, Supreme
Might and super Creative Ability."

Site of the week:
-----------------

       The site of this week says - "Spare us a moment... We have
something to say...."  & continues with few children's call ...

       "..buses don't wait till I get in, the first step is too high and
no one helps",
       " My parents don't take me to our village bcos they find it
difficult ....",
       " We went to Chamundi hills... my father couldn't carry me, so I
was the only one who could not see God."
       Wondering what they are talking about ? They are children with
Cerebral Palsy, who also need love, security, fun, encouragement.

       We can do something, not everything. So, why don't we do that
smallest thing, which we can. Each one of us are capable of doing
something. Visit the web-site of Spastics Society of Karnataka,
Bangalore & decide.
