MY NEW THIRUKKURAL BLOG !!

Dear friends,

THIRUKKURAL COUPLET

Thiruvalluvar was a celebrated Tamil poet who wrote the Thirukkural, a work on ethics in Tamil literature. Thiruvalluvar's period is between the second century BC and the eighth century AD.

Thirukkural is the masterpiece of Tamil literature with the highest and purest expressions of human thought. It is written in the form of couplets (two line poems) expounding various aspects of life. It contains 1330 couplets,divided into 133 chapters of 10 couplets each.

Thirukkural was written by Thiruvalluvar, who is believed to have born 30 years before Jesus Christ. The Tamil Calendar is dated from that period and referred as Thiruvalluvar Aandu (Year). We find Thiruvalluvar as a moral philosopher, political scientist and master of public administration in the first two parts of Thirukkural. We find him to be a creative artist in the third part, depicting the fascinating aspects of lovers.

Thirukkural's immortality and universality are unquestionable. Its ethics and values are applicable to all religions, countries and time. It has been translated in over 60 languages of the world.

1. In Praise of God

"Akara mutala elutellam; ati

Pakavan mutarre ulaku."

The alphabet begins with 'A';

So does the Universe with God.

Just as the letter 'A' begins and energises all the other letters of the alphabet, God is the origin and sustenance of the universe.

GANPATI BAPPA MORYA !!

On this auspicious day of Ganesh Chaturthi my wishes and prayers for all of you. May Ganesha bring love, joy and prosperity in your lives and give you all the strength to be positive in life.

Today morning we brought Ganesha to Adityajyot with all fanfare and rituals as we set up our pandal for this Ganesh Utsav based on the noble theme of eye donation. The heavy rains could not dampen our spirits as we held a Puja attended by all my staff, family and friends seeking the blessings of  Ganesha. We plan to hold special prayers everyday  till Sep 2nd invoking the God almighty to shower his blessings upon us.

This is the first time we have set up a Ganesh Pandal at Adityajyot and it is but a small gesture to thank him and a chance for us to serve him during this holy period. I also hope to promote eye donation  on this occassion and inspire people with the Kannpan Nayanar story to come forward and pledge their eyes.

Today is a day marked by an amazing confluence of faiths as today also marks the beginning of the holy month of Ramzan......My best wishes to all.........

ADITYA JYOT CELEBRATES GANAPATHI UTSAV WITH EYE DONATION AS A THEME FOR 2009

EYE DONATION IN HINDU MYTHOLOGY

OUR BACKDROP FOR THIS YEAR DEPICTS VERY GRAPHICALLY THE STORY OF KANNAPA NAYANAR WHO WAS A STAUNCH DEVOTEE OF LORD SHIVA .

THIS COLOURFUL DEPICTION HAS BEEN CREATED BY TWO YOUNG ARTISTS FROM JJ SCHOOL OF ART WHO SPENT LONG HOURS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS CREATING THIS MASTER PIECE.

THINNAN , DHEERAN MORE FAMOUSLY KNOWN AS KANNAPA NAYANAR WAS ONE OF THE 63 SAINTS WHO WORSHIPPED LORD SHIVA.HE FOUND THE VAYU LINGA IN THE FOREST WHILST HE WAS HUNTING.SINCE HE WAS ILLETERATE AND FROM A LOW CASTE HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO WORSHIP LORD SHIVA.

THE STORY GOES THAT HE BROUGHT WATER IN HIS MOUTH FROM A NEARBY RIVER AND POURED IT OVER THE SHIVA LINGAM.HE ALSO OFFERED WHATEVER ANIMAL HE HUNTED. SHIVA ACCEPTED IT AS HE KNEW THINNAN WAS PURE AT HEARTS AND HIS DEVOTION WAS TRUE

ONE DAY LORD SHIVA WABTED TO TEST THE DEVOTION OF THINNAN.HE CAUSED AN EARTHQUAKE AND THE TREMORS CAUSED THE ROOF TOPS OF THE TEMPLE TO FALL.ALL THE SAGES RAN AWAY EXCEPT THINNAN WHO COVERED THE LINGA WITH HIS BODY TO PREVENT DAMAGE.HENCE HE WAS NAMED DHEERAN

ONE DAY THINNAN ALSO KNOWN AS DHEERAN NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE EYES OF THE SHIVA LINGA WAS OZZING BLOOD AND TEARS.SENSING THAT THE LORD’S EYE WAS INJURED DHEERAN PLUCKED OUT ONE OF HIS EYES WITH HIS ARROW AND PLACED IT ON THE BLEEDING EYE AND LO AND BEHOLD LORD SHIVA’S EYE STOPPED BLEEDING.BUT THE TRAUMA WAS NOT OVER YET AS DHEERAN SAW TO HIS HORROR THAT LORD SHIVA’S OTHER EYE ALSO STARTED BLEEDING.DHEERAN THOUGHT THAT IF HE WERE TO PLUCK HIS OTHER EYE TOO HE WOULD TURN BLIND AND NOT KNOW WHERE TO PLACE THE OTHER EYE.SO HE CLEVERLY PLACED HIS GREAT BIG TOE ON THE LINGA TO MARK THE SPOT OF THE BLEEDING SECOND EYE AND BEGAN TO PLUCK OUT HIS ONLY OTHER EYE.

SHIVA WAS GREATLY MOVED BY THIS DEVOTION AND CRIED OUT”NILLU KANAPPA’STOP KANNAPA AND RESTORED BOTH HIS EYES.

YOU WILL SEE THIS MOVING STORY SO VIVIDLY PAINTED IN TYPICAL TANJORE ART FORM AND COLOURS BY THE YOUNG ARTISTS

ADITYA JYOT’S MISSION IS TO RESTORE EYESIGHT,VISION AND PLAY ITS HUMBLE PART IN REDUCING BLINDNESS AND IMPROVING EYE CARE IN THIS COUNTRY.

IT ALSO PROMOTES EYE DONATION.OUR SLOGAN ‘DON’T BURY,DON’T BURN,DONATE YOUR EYES’HAS HAD SEVERAL THOUSANDS PLEDGE THEIR EYES FOR POSTERITY

LETS HOLD HANDS THEREFORE AND VENERATE LORD GANESHA THAT HE BLESSES US TO FULFILL OUR DREAMS OF PROVIDING SIGHT TO ALL THOSE WHO NEED IT.

I will follow the motto "Let my brain remove the pain of the suffering humanity and bring smiles".
