(Ramalinga Vallalar was a synthesis of great philanthropist, reformer, devotee, a poet…..He enquires himself what sin in the past birth he committed in a poetic verse. I too read the same to introspect and to clean the mind by dropping tears. These sins of ordinary people he puts on himself intentionally to awaken normal people mind. In fact he was a pure soul not stained by any sin)
What did I commit to take this birth of ailments? (220208)
...
You materialize in front of eyes or never appear even in dreams
I have no other way rather than adoring Your delightful deity
You take pity to shower Your grace or toast me in cause and effects
I have no other way rather than chanting Your heavenly names
...
Just open the computer and connect to the internet.
Anyone can call anybody, anywhere in a moment!
Science and technology so far to my astonishment,
Have found no way to link at once Self the innermost!
...
Leaping vast sea and many countries,
People travel to find lump salaries.
They wish to expand their boundaries,
Like the great Alexander victorious.
...
The ripe tamarind fruit
Touches not the shell
Yet protected by the same shell
Hangs aloof having seed inside.

Chacha Nehru’s Birth Day
Achcha… It is Children’s Day!
November fourteenth! Remember all of you!
It is Children’s Day – a Cherished Day
...
Though I have freedom
To move anywhere in space eternal
I am in prison!
Am I able to cross the magical bars

Yesterday I came to see my mother from my in-laws place. While getting down from the town bus in steps my purse(with some valuable items) was pickpocketted in a sec. I have been traveling long distances alone, sometimes even at midnight. I was always proud telling my friends and relatives that no ill-fate touched me so far. But this incident shook my pride.
I wondered at the pickpocket’s skill. During the prayer time my mind prayed for him/her too. I understood no one can be totally free from the evils of the world in which one lives.
That day I took Sri Ramana’s life history book and read the episode of showering the grace on a thief who did harm to Mahrishi.
