Quote of the week:
------------------
Paeyay uzhalum sirumanamae
paenay ensol indrumudhal
neeya yonrum naadathae
ninadhu thalaivan yaanaekaan.
- Bharathiar.
(Paeyay - like a ghost; uzhalum - toiling; paenay ensol - hear my words;
indrumudhal - today onwards; naadathae - to go after; ninadhu - yours; thalaivan
yaanaekan - i am your leader)
Hey my mind, wandering like a ghost, why don't u hear my words. Let not you go
according to your will from today onwards. I am your leader.
Kural of the week:
------------------
Kaalathinal seidha udhavi siredheninum
gnalathin maanap peridhu.
(kaalathinal - timely; seidha udhavi - help done; siredheninum - even
though small; gnalathin maanap - compared to the world; peridhu - big)
A help, even though (very) small done at the right time, is bigger than
the size of this world (ie. cannot be compared).
Do you know?

All of us (!) know, that matter can exist in two forms - wave and
particle forms. And physicists are experimenting more on this.
But, not many of us know that Arunagirinathar (a great Tamil saint or
mystic) has sung about this in his "Thiruppughazh" few 100 years back, as
follows.
" Naadha bindhu kaladhi namo namaha
vedha mandhra sorooba namo namaha ........."
[Nadham - wave (as sound travels in waveform);
Bindhu - particle (relate to 'bindhi' or kumkum)]
This means nothing but the wave & particle form of God (the Supreme
being) that he is worshipping.
Wonder how come he knew about these some few 100 years back. That's
where religion & physics meet.
{More in my coming mails. Arunagirinathar sang these in Tiruvannamalai
(my hometown).}
