Respected Sir/Madam,
Namaskar,

Shri P.S.Varadarajan (Guruji)

Shri Guruji believes in simple living and high thinking He does not
believe in any outward show. He makes each and everyone feel at ease and
is always ready to help everyone. When I (Hari Krishnamurthy) had gone to
meet him in January 2007 during his visit to Delhi in connection with
Kumbhabishekam of Sree Meenakshi Temple at Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi, I was
overawed by his presence. I had wanted to ask him so many things but was
dumbstruck in his presence. I felt I had got everything I wanted without
even uttering a word. From that moment he was my Guru I had read some
where that there is an oriental proverb “one need not search for a Guru,
when the student is ready the teacher would just find him”. I found that
proverb to be true in my case. In the last few months his grace has
elevated me spiritually to a level beyond imagination. During his visit
for Sarva Devata Homam in September 2007, he asked me to control my anger
He had not asked anything from me but wanted me to be a better human
being, so from that moment onwards I had shed my anger totally and till
today I am enjoying the benefit. From a non existent common ordinary
person, now people recognize me, respect me because of his benevolence.
Without my asking Shri Guruji chants for me and my family and when I

enquired about this to him he smilingly replied that he did this for all
the people who had come into contact with him. This fact was confirmed by
all others whom I met in the presence of Shri Guruji. We may have
prejudices, petty quarrels with our own folk and here is a person who does
not know any thing else but selfless love, affection and benevolence. I
had then decided that if ever my life was to be dedicated to some one it
was Shri Guruji. After taking this decision I consulted the matter with my
wife and she too agreed. Since then I am doing what you all are
experiencing. This vishwa kalyan issue too is just my way of submitting
flowers at Shri Guruji’s feet.From November 2007 to this issue in August
2008, we have come a long way but there are miles to go and achieve the
mission of Lokakshema “Welfare of the people. All of us belong to one
family (Vasudeiva Kutumbakam) being brothers and sisters it becomes our

Subject: Sant Tukkaram- Part-8 by Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

Radhe Krishna To All,

Securing the company of a Sadhu is the result of good merits (`punya')

earned in crores of janmas. So says Adi Sankara in Viveka Choodamani. The

`janma' in which you attain a Sadguru is verily your last `janma'.

A dog, when beckoned, runs to eat the food thrown at it. The man picks up
a stick and beats the dog with it. Unable to bear the pain of the beating,
the dog decides not to come running to this fellow the next day if he were
to beckon. But, the next day it runs up when called, having forgotten the
vow, and gets beaten up along with the food thrown. In the same way, in
this life we face some problem or the other. While faced with the problem
we vow not to indulge in life but to dedicate our life to attain Bhagavan.
But, once the pain of the
suffering vanishes we forget the vow and step into the drama of life -
only to suffer all over again! When a snake catches a frog, it takes
almost a day for it to swallow the frog. Meanwhile the frog caught from
behind has its face turned outwards. It puts out its tongue and keeps
swallowing the flies that fall on to it! It is being pulled
into death in the form of the snake but the frog, unaware of it, is
enjoying its food! In the same way Yama (the God of death) has his hand on
our neck; yet we are trying to snatch as much fun and frolic out of this
life even while moving towards death! Once Pattinathar found people
weeping over a dead relative in their home. Pattinathar sat on the pyol of
the house and began to weep, too. The relatives
stopped crying and came out to find out in what way was this man
Pattinathar) related to the dead. They asked him, "Who are you? We have
never seen you before. How are you related to the dead?" Pattinathar said
to them, "I am weeping for the `live' corpses that are crying for the
`dead corpse'!" Every one is going to meet death some day but without
realizing this we weep for the dead! A snake catches a frog and tries to
swallow it. A snake's throat is very small. It is unable to swallow the
frog. Both the snake and the frog suffer and finally both of them die.
Thus, if one embraces a Guru who is not of the highest
order, both the Guru and the sishya (disciple) would fall headlong.

Subject: The Importance of Being a Brahmin

Date: Sunday, 6 July, 2008, 5:57 PM

Dear Friends,

Vedas describe the origin of Brahmins in detail. "Brahmano Syamugha Maaseedhu" . Brahmins have
originated from the face of Brahman, so says the Vedas. There were saints who have attained realization and
knowledge by virtue of meditation, penance and contemplation. They have set the standard of life which have
come to be known as Sanatana Dharma. These Rishies have got married and allowed their generations to grow
and prosper.

Brahmin community belongs to different Gothrams like Athreya Gothram, Aupamanya Gothram, Bharadwaja
Gothram, Koundinya Gothram, Kousika Gothram, Tharakayana Gothram etc. All these Gothrams are derived
from the name of respective Rishies and those coming in the lineage of a particular Rishi are named after the
name of that Rishi. For instance, Bharadwaja Gothram indicates that the people belonging to this sect
originated from the family of Bharadwaja Muni.

The Munis were the enlightened sages and they passed on their knowledge, wisdom and culture through their
generations. Every generation has gained fresh knowledge by assimilating the new thoughts that emerged from
time to time. So a Brahmin embodies the accumulated knowledge of all his forefathers who are traced to saints
belonging to Vedic past.

When the embryo of the baby is formed, it inherits all the accumulated knowledge of earlier generations but
once the baby is born, it severs its connection with the past. This detachment is marked by the cutting of
umbilical cord. The childhood passes away and the boy becomes a youth. The childhood stage is considered
as an intervening period between birth and Brahmacharya. Now what is the link that traces him to his hoary
past? What is the link that connects him to the collective wisdom of the past? The Vedic link that the child lost
when the umbilical cord is cut is now re-established in the form of Yagnopaveetham. In other words, the
Yagnopaveetham (Poonal) serves as an umbilical cord that connects him, not just his immediate parents, not just
the three generations but the entire tree of generations and the Rishi on whose root the whole tree flourished.

The childhood is the stage when the boy prepares himself by nurturing noble qualities. As he attains the right
age, he is initiated into the order of Brahmacharya. Poonal is the mark of his formal entry into Brahminhood. It
gives him an authority to pursue his spiritual path. He is now supposed to cultivate the habit of devotion and
discipline. He is supposed to find a Guru who would lead him to the path of Jnana. He is supposed to acquire

knowledge by reading scriptures and Vedic texts so that he can equip himself to face the future with confidence
and reach the right destination.

Poonal is not a mere symbol to identify a community. One who wears a Poonal may not necessarily be a
Brahman and one who does not wear a Poonal may not be a non-Brahmin either. Poonal has sanctity of its own
and one has to qualify himself for wearing it, not by birth alone but by practice. He alone is a Brahmin
who does his Nithya Karmas, follows the path of Sanatana Dharma and remain free from ego, avarice, anger
and pride. Bharatiyar has thrown his Poonal away saying "Nadu Arintha Parppanukku Poonal Etharkku?"
(What is the use of a Poonal for one whom the world knows as Brahmin?). He was wrong. Poonal is not
something that is worn for the world to know. It is for the realization of Brahman within. But one who has
thrown away his Poonal but has led a life of truth (like Bharatiyar) is nobler compared to one who wears his
Poonal but does nothing to justify it. There also prevails a wrong notion that Avani Avittam is an occasion to
make up the deficiencies of the past. It is an occasion when you commit yourself to do your Nithyakarmas and
duties diligently, as in the past, so in future.

Yours truly,

V.S.Krishnan

Why is the belief in God so strong? Please answer!?

God is One with no name but has been given many, many names by humankind. The kingdom of God is closed to
none who seek it with a pure heart. If you were a Loving Mystical Being, Creator of the Universe, would you set
things up so simply that there was only one road leading to this kingdom you want all to share?

Ask any parent with multiple children. They have different personalities, different needs. Thus a parent must take
different approaches in rearing them. And the way you parent a 4 yr old will be different than how you parent a
15 yr old.

Always know you are loved beyond your wildest dreams. A person's beliefs, not just religious beliefs, but all
beliefs are their most personal possessions. Your beliefs are the foundation of everything you are, how you think,
how you judge, how you relate to the world around you. They are, in effect, what makes you an individual. Is it
any wonder then why belief-based arguments, be they religious, political or otherwise are often the most brutal?
That which you're attacking or defending is, after all, the core of a persons very being.

Astrological Queries
Panditji, My DOB is 10-05-1959 time 13.32.30 place Indore, please tell me when can my finances will improve

A Difficult Judgment by Audiseshan Ramesh

In a small town in India, a person decided to open up his Bar business, which was right opposite to the
Temple. The Temple its congregation started a campaign to block the Bar from opening with petitions and
prayed daily against his business. Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about
to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the Bar and it was burnt to the ground.

The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the Bar owner sued the Temple authorities on
the grounds that the Temple through its congregation prayers was ultimately responsible for the demise of his
bar shop, either through direct or indirect actions or means.

In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers
were reasons to the bar shop's demise. As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the
paperwork at the hearing and commented: I don't know how I'm going to decide this case, but it appears
from the paperwork, 'we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire
temple and its devotees that doesn't.'

Radhe Krishna To All,

One who has attained a Uttama Guru will be totally free from worries because he will exhibit steadfast faith in
the Guru. He would say, "Even if I am the worst kind of sinner in this world my Guru will certainly uplift me."

If, on the contrary, someone has a great Guru but does not have such faith in Him it only means that he has not
really surrendered unto the Guru.

Once, while Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was bathing in the Holy Ganges, his ardent devotee Girish Chandra
Gosh was standing on the banks of the river. Sri Ramakrishna asked him to bathe in the Ganges and Girish
Chandra Gosh refused to do so. Sri Ramakrishna said to him, "If you don't observe such dharma then who else
would?" Hearing the words of his Guru, Girish immediately took a dip in the Ganges. From then on he used to
bathe in the Ganges quite frequently. At such times he would think, "It is said that when normal people bathe in
the Ganges she cleanses them of their sins. But when a Mahan bathes in the Ganges, He cleanses the Ganges
and enhances the purifying potential of the Ganges. My Guru, out of immense compassion, has taken away all
my sins. So if I bathe here, the power of Ganges to cleanse and purify will increase hundredfold."

Since he was a fervent and superior Guru Bhakta, his Bhavam was also lofty.
Girish Chandra Gosh was renowned for his implicit faith and total surrender unto his Guru. He worshipped Sri
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa verily as an incarnation of God. He spoke of his Guru as an "Avatara Purusha" to
everyone he met.

Once after seeing a play about Prahlada, the great devotee of the Lord, at the Star Theatre, Sri Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa was conversing with His disciples. Girish, who was also there, said to his Guru, "Master! I am a
sinner who is beyond redemption. The very ground where I sit would become unholy. I utterly lack sincerity.
Please bestow me with sincerity." To this Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa replied, "What can I bless? Sages like
Sri Narada and Sri Shuka Deva would have been able to do that." Unrelentingly Girish said, "I don't see Sri
Narada or Shuka Deva. You are the only God I know and You are standing right before me. Please do not
refuse." Immensely pleased with the deep faith of his beloved disciple, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
smilingly blessed him saying, "All right! So be it! You have such a faith!"
Such was the faith that this great disciple had which his Guru acknowledged lovingly.

Girish Chandra Ghosh was a man full of vices. Name the vice and he had it. However, he had deep affection for
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Ramakrishna asked him to chant the Lord's Divine Name every morning and
evening. Girish Chandra Ghosh said, "I cannot. It is not possible for me to chant the Divine Name every
morning and evening."

Paramahamsa said, "Well! Chant it just before you take your meals." Girish Chandra Ghosh, "No, Sir! This is
not possible for me!" Paramahamsa said, "Well! Chant just once before going to bed."

Girish, "No! This, too, is not possible for me!"

Paramahamsa said, "Well! then, surrender to me. I will take care of you. I will take you to Moksha. Give the
power of attorney to me."
Girish Chandra's joy knew no bounds. He thought, `what fortune! I can lead my life as I have been living. The
Master will do japa for me and take me to Moksha.'

At once he gave his power of attorney to Paramahamsa.

But, what happened after this? The moment Girish lifted the wine bottle he saw Ramakrishna's face on the
bottle. He could not drink. When he visited any woman for company he saw Ramakrishna in her and could not
go near her. Girish was unable to carry on life in his old style. He thought, `I thought that surrender was very

easy. But, it is not so.' Every moment, in all actions, he saw only the Master. He just could not forget him.

Girish Chandra Gosh boldly proclaimed to the world that his Master was an incarnation. Sri Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa was also fully aware of Girish's conviction.

One day, while Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was taking a walk in the garden with his devotees at his heels,
he said to Girish, "Girish! What do you see in me that you tell everyone that I am an incarnation?" Girish at
once fell on his knees before his Master and with a voice choked with emotion said, "What can I say about the
One whose glories even great sages like Vyasa and Valmiki couldn't describe enough!" Moved by the words of
this great disciple, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said, "What more can I tell? Be illumined!" Saying so Sri
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa touched all the devotees present there and blessed them with Spiritual awakening.
Thus, Girish displayed deep faith and love that moved his Guru to bless not just him but all the devotees. This
day, January 1(1886), is lovingly remembered as the `Kalpataru Day' when the love of a disciple made his Guru
a `Wish-fulfilling tree'!

Kundalini Shakthi in us is the primordial force of all our actions. That is why the
Goddess is also known as Maha Kundalini.

The coiled up serpent, Kundalini, rises up with Her immeasurable Yogic powers and
reaches the Sahasrara Padma in the head. All religions have originated from this
experience of the Kundalini Shakti uniting with the Sahasrara. That is why the Goddess
is extolled as Samayachara Tatpara.

This Shakti takes the form of Agni. When this Shakti is roused, it courses its way
upwards like a serpent dancing with its hood spread. The pervasive power is symbolized
by the serpent's spread-out hood, and the concentration power by the serpent's closed
mouth.

Mother Tiripurasundari is the divine form of Kundalini Shakti. That Goddess, who
bestows on us all auspiciousness, should be worshipped in the Hridaya Kamalam, the
Lotus of one's Heart.

Personal Experiences of people (names kept secret on request)

I was jobless for about six months in 2003 and was facing lot of difficulty
in getting a new suitable job. My uncle asked me to contact Guruji and told
me he would solve my problem. Though I did not believe him but I thought I
there was no harm in trying so I contacted him in Chennai and gave my
uncle’s reference. My uncle had already spoken to Guruji about me, but I was
surprised to find a simple person who was kind and courteous unlike some of
the so called Guruji’s(no intention to blame anybody)ad asked my details and
started his chanting and within few minutes he told me to conduct Vishnu
sahasranama chanting to be done by 9 people and to feed them after the Puja
and this was to be done within 45 days and he assured me that I would get a
very good job and I performed the same as per his directions and within a
week of performing the puja I got a call from Delhi to attend an interview
and was offered the post of Asstt. Manager in that Company with twice the
salary what I was getting in my previous employment. Now I am transferred
back to Chennai and living happily with my family. I don’t know how to repay
the debt to Guruji? Always you can contact me for any kind of help for the
Trust he has formed. (GS Chennai)

I am thankful to Guruji for saving my life. (ms.M, Singapore)

We are indebted to Guruji for all the Puja and Japams he has done to cure
illness (Cancer) of my wife (mr. K & family Malaysia)

Thank u Guruji, we are blessed with a son after two daughters, with your
grace and kindness ( MR& Mrs G Delhi)

Guruji I cannot find any words I have been blessed with a son after 10 years
of my marriage. I do not know how I can repay you. (NK Dubey. Delhi)

My brother in law is well after the serious accident with your blessings. He
is now walking and will recover soon. I am sending a token amount for the
trust and continue to help the trust till I breathe my last. (V P Tuticorin)

MAYA AND ILLUSION - Swam Vivekananda
Attempts have been made in Germany to build a system of philosophy on the basis that the Infinite has become
the finite. Such attempts are also made in England. And the analysis of the position of these philosophers is this,
that the Infinite is trying to express itself in this universe, and that there will come a time when the Infinite will
succeed in doing so. It is all very well, and we have used the words Infinite and manifestation and expression,
and so on, but philosophers naturally ask for a logical fundamental basis for the statement that the finite can
fully express the Infinite. The Absolute and the Infinite can become this universe only by limitation. Everything
must be limited that comes through the senses, or through the mind, or through the intellect; and for the limited
to be the unlimited is simply absurd, and can never be. The Vedanta, on the other hand, says that it is true that
the Absolute or the Infinite is trying to express itself in the finite, but there will come a time when it will find

that it is impossible, and it will then have to beat a retreat, and this beating a retreat means renunciation which is
the real beginning of religion. Nowadays it is very hard even to talk of renunciation. It was said of me in
America that I was a man who came out of a land that had been dead and buried for five thousand years, and
talked of renunciation. So says, perhaps, the English philosopher. Yet it is true that that is the only path to
religion. Renounce and give up. What did Christ say? "He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." Again
and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection? There comes a time when the mind awakes
from this long and dreary dream -- the child gives up its play and wants to go back to its mother. It finds the
truth of the statement, "Desire is never satisfied by the enjoyment of desires, it only increases the more, as fire,
when butter is poured upon it."
