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." {Certainly not my words. ;-) Taken from a website. } 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.
