This blog deals with self awareness under the light of knowledge. the knowledge would help us to drop the acquired self - ego and in the process we would be able to see our real divine self.

Having enough
Having enough.........
If ONLY we had just LOVE we would have enough of everything.....
Mamm being so far& detached also ur so close to us,u guide& teach us.( I observed my thoughts & desire too,at times negative & asuric thought too,being carried away in own world,with post& msg u get us back to right track.( Just want to b true& loyall to self& my guru).
Hello mamm,I read this small post& shared.I liked GURJI SMILPE WAY OF HANDLING& SO DOWN TO EARTH. the way GURJI helped the lady for nama japam.so.simple people at heart..( mamm tapuaythe sorry pls.)
My father, Shri Veeraraghava Iyer, passed away on Vaikunta Ekadashi day. Only ‘punya’ athmas (blessed souls) get ‘Ekadashi maranam, Dwadashi dahanam’, people say.
After ‘Varushapthigam’ (annual ceremony), my mother gave me a letter to be handed over to Sri Maha Periyava. She had sealed it. But, I still opened it, as I knew what the contents would be. My mother wished Periyava to give her ‘mukthi’ liberation as soon as possible.
I cried.
Then I sealed the cover once again and when I reached Kanchi, I put the letter at the base of a plate and covered it with coconut, Thulasi mala, sugar candy, etc for I knew many people would have come to seek the blessings of Mahaswami for auspicious things. When I went in, Sri Matham Balu Mama introduced me to Swamigal. Periyava then asked why I had come. Balu said, “To seek Your blessings”. Periyava said, “No, his mother has written a letter to me and he has kept it hidden underneath the coconut. Take that out and read it”. Then I told Balu the contents of the letter in a low voice.
Balu said to Periyava, “His mother too seeks your blessings”. Periyava said, “No, just to convey that she would not have written one and a half pages. I know the contents, read it aloud so that everyone can know”. Balu read it aloud and there was pin drop silence.
Then Periyava laughed out loud and said, “If I knew the way to obtain mukthi, I would not be sitting here, not able to see and not able to hear properly. Ask her to sit in a corner like me and do Rama Nama Japam!”
I cried. Here was Periyava lowering Himself so much and still showing the way to my mother. How did He know that I had hidden the letter underneath the coconut, how did He know that my mother had written it, how did He know it ran to one and a half pages, how did He know the contents of the letter?
If we know all that, would we be bound by Maya? All we can do is to tightly hold on to His lotus feet. That will give us mukthi.
