5.Hey, Manase.
Among the vast readers, rasikas of foreign countries asked me to commence
the english write-up of Part I to benefit their wards there, some time back.
Because of Construction of Mahamandap and because of old age, I post-poned it.
But e-mails were periodically coming in ,reminding me to start the translation
of Chinna Chinna Vizhayangal part one.. I am not well-versed in translation
work. This is also one of the reason to delay it. When I plainly said this
through e-mail, they said that they will tolerate and forgive me and asked me
to proceed.
His Holiness Sri POundarikapuram Andavan has given Srimukam for this book in
the year 2002. Offering my pranams to His Holiness and prosterating before
the Lotus feet of Sri Hayagreevan through my mind, I now commence the
translation of my work in tamil --Chinna Chinna Vizhayangal in to english.
Oh! pundits! Oh, clever people of all sorts of Arts! please forgive
if the translation is wrong/ gives different meaning and correct me whereever
there aregrammatical /spelling mistakes
CHINNA , CHINNA VIZHAYANGAL-SMALL,SMALL, THINGS To PONDER
*********************************************************************************************8
We forgot to do small, small things which were done by our
ancestors according to Sastras which gave wealth,health, knowledge as per
sloka " Sastharaya Sukhayacha". We bathed all these things using " Shampoo"
and our heads are like the heads of " uncivilisized"
Don't we need health? Yes,needed without going to Doctor.
Don't we need knowledge--scientific, common,
discrimination,religious? Yes, needed , except, religious knowledge.
Don't we need fridge, colour T.V.latest air-conditioned car ,
air-conditioned house large number of jewels? Yes, needed, including all
diamonds, Navrathnas, available in the whole world.
Religious knowledge is not wanted by us. But this is necesarry to
acquire all. But we want everything except this and this craze is spread
over every where..Which is required to get good habits , that is shunted out
and the culture of " scenewe see and dress we wear" is with us.
The grown-up generation is not grown in a good way and hence the next
generation is driving towards "mirage". The grown-up generation does not know
to teach good things to next generation. The young generation is hatred with
the grown-up generation : contempt or indifference with the grown-up
generation. If the grown-up generation say"east", younger generation ridicules
it saying it as "Old man's joke" This is spreading very fast..
It has to be blocked. A big change has to be createdin the minds
of lads, lass to think good, to do good.
It has to be done to feel by these youngsters that how the small,
small things practised and left out to us by our fore-fathers are very
much helpful in the lives of youngsters.
It is not the intention to find fault with "dyana" class or "Yoga"
class attended by youngsters but to impress them that all the benefits of
attending such classes are available when we do small.small, things
We are going to say to youngsters in this topic such small.small,
things.There are small but if understood and practised in the house, the
result is enormous.
Oh, youngsters! Please spare few minutes to read. You will understand with
such feelings and better experienceastohow this religious thinking, religious
knowledge have changed your life-pattern. You will not continue as younger
generation for ever.You will become grown-up generation.At that time, you will
be in a position to spellout these good things to your younger generation.
They, in turn to their younger generation. These younger generation will
gratefully remember you
Now, a small thing to ponder
1.Tension
----------------------
There is none without using the word"tension", particularly,boys & girls
What is tension? According to dictionary--mental strain or excitement
For example, students get tension if they hear that tomorrow is
examination.Those working in offices they feel tension if their boss calls
them urgently( tension about , why is he calling, what is the reason etc).
Youngsters, persons doing various works say tension. Why this? Because, they
are not mentally strong. Their minds are weak. Knowledge does not cooperate
with mind That is why, they feel tension , fearing to face any small
matter/things.They say tension in office. These persons living with tension,
welcomes "blood-preasure", as an uninvited guest. In this there is low and
high B.P. also Thus tension becomes gigantic.Our fore-fathers did not say
tension and all that .They didnot know it.Out of hundred, we can say about ten
with B.P. Our fore-fathers lived their lives without tension.There were
problems in their lives also. But they concentrted their mind and reduced
/weeded out socalled tension.They have not attended to any class saying "yoga"
or
" Dyana". They got every thing in their houses by performing
"Santhyavandhanam". They got everything by doing "Santhya"( Thirikala
Santhya). By doing Argyam, pranayamam, jabam abhivadhanam ,they were doing
body-exercise.No seperate exercise was necessary when they performed thirikala
santhya
