MEMORY LANE

 FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:

 



MEMORY LANE


WHO CAN FORGET THESE?

 

 

The School/College studied;

 

The classrooms you navigated;

 

The house you lived in, according to your oldest memory;

 

The first cycle and the first ride thereon during schooldays;

 

The final day you spent in school/college;

 

The day you received an order of appointment for a job, the first day in your workplace, and your first salary;

 

The day you purchased a two-wheeler or four-wheeler, and the first travel in them;

 

The house you purchased and the first day of your residence there;

 

The date and day of your marriage;

 

The day and date your first child was born and that of other children;

 

Days and dates of the wedding of your sons/daughters;

 

The births of your grandchildren;

 

The last day in your workplace before retirement and the farewell party;

 

And so on and so forth!

 

The personal memory lane thus keeps on extending throughout.

From Sampath’s Desk :     FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!     The concept of ‘philosophy’ used here is about the empirical aspects of life such as - how to find joy and happiness generally and to keep ourselves cool and unperturbed, clothed with feathers of positive philosophy in the face of ordeals and distress. Again, on the one side, it is about feeling self-joy, and on the other, a solace-seeking exercise during trials and tribulations. Some tips have been attempted here.   If you happen to be rich in wealth and affluent, think that God has given you the extra wealth and money for helping others. The best way to find joy and happiness is to make others happy by charity without expecting anything in return much less gratitude. It is only the possessor of wealth who should be actually grateful to God for providing him/her the opportunity to help the needy. It is of course easier said than done, but the real joy lies in giving and in going to the succo...

  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:       THIRUMURUGA KRIPANANDA VARIYAR திருமுருக கிருபானந்த வாரியார் (25 August 1906 - 7 November 1993)   THIRUMURUGA KRIPANANDA VARIYAR was born on 25.8.1906 in Kangeyanallur near Vellore, Tamil Nadu.   He sowed divinity in the minds of the common man and words contemplated upon were humorously conveyed by him so as to grip the minds of his audience. He was affectionately and reverently called VARIYAR SWAMIGAL by people.   He had no formal education. However, he was brought up by his father himself at home giving him core divine knowledge and wisdom. Swamigal learned Tamil literature, grammar, and music, especially playing Veena. At age 8 itself, he had to his credit many poems in ‘Venba’ style. By age 12, he learned by heart at least 10000 hymns, mostly devotional numbers.   During my boyhood days in Triplicane, I used to go to his divine and spiritual discourses. Tamil language and devotional hymns...
