Chinna Chinna Vizhayangal( Small Small things to ponder)-----2
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
    If sandhya is performed daily  thrice, youngsters need not  fear  about " 
tension". That is why, upanayanam was done to  children at their tender age 
during the period of our fore-fathers. 
  This is for boys. What about girls? Girls should assist their mothers  in 
their house-hold works. While doing house-hold activities, body  bends ,hands 
do some sort of exercise including legs, hips etc. THere  is no necessity to 
employ servant-maids; no tension about when she will  come to work etc. 
House-hold expenditure can be minimised; house also  will look clean ,neat and 
tidy
  Putting Kolam
  ----------------------
  
  In the early morning ,making kolam in front of the house/flat is  certainly 
an exercise to girls. Sweeping the floor,cleaning it with  water etc are also 
exercise to girls. When there are house-wife and  girls in a family, reflecting 
" Lakshmi Kataksha" in the house,why this  mania of chasing a 
servant-maid,asking her to do  cleanig work in  front of the house and putting 
kolam etc?Is she woman-lord of the  house?Certainly, not. Actual woman-lord or 
her daughter should do these  works and invite Mahalakshmi to their house/flat
 Lakshmikaram does  not mean having fridge, T.V. A/c etc. It means 
peacefulness,calmness,  flow of virtuous thinkings, satisfaction with the 
availability of all  materials, flow of funds for genuine reasons etc. This is 
"  Lakshmikaram"If a servant-maid does entrance-gate work of sweeping,  
cleaning and putting kolam etc , who will get " Lakshmikataksham"?  Please 
think it over!
  
  Carnatac Sangeeth
  ----------------------------
  
  The ABHYASA of carnatac   music to young, very young  girls,  by way of 
concentration of mind,respiration,breathing,  while doing alaphana of swarangal 
, singing "sarali Varisai" , they  will have the strength  to face tension and 
drive it away.
   This is a small thing. But our fore-fathers showed the way of  avoiding 
tension/ facing the tension and to succeed in it. THey have  shown so many ways 
 to succeed in our lives. If we take it with  absolute faith, avoiding to say" 
speaking without meaning, Panjangam,  tenth fasli"  and implement  them in our 
lives, we need not  fear about tension. 
 Bagvan has given five sense-organs(  pulan).Ear, eye, nose, tongue, body( 
Dregam or skin)throughwhich we are  having feelings such as hearing, seeing, 
smelling, tasting through  tongue, sense of touch,pain, etc. THese are five 
senses of organs. The  sixth one is mind of discrimination. Through this, we 
may feel good/bad  , sin/virtue, dos/donts, etc. IN addition to these, there is 
one  seventh organ i.e. balance--balance of mind.Through this, in whatever  
circumstances, we can keep balance of mind. This is controlled by the  
inner-portion of the ear and brain. If anyone looses it's balance, it  creates 
unconsiosness/loss of peace/tottering /tension.
  
  Jabham/Dyanam
  --------------------------
  
  To avoid such of these situations, and tension, and to improve the 
controlling of brain, Jabham/dyanam helps very much. 
  Our fore-fathers never lost their balance of mind in any circumstances,  
because of jabham and dyanam. They did not know  tension or anger.  We should 
not confuse the angry of DOORVAS Rishi and VISVAMITHRA Rishi.  Their angry 
created problems for the welfare of the world,for the good  result. Those who 
read their charitha, got good  lessons. 
  Because of thrikala sandhya, our fore-fathers lead their lives without  
tension. Though we reside in flats, we need not run towards dyana  class/ yoga 
class saying that there is no space to do/ congested area  etc. We see somany 
Ads inviting to join yoga class dyana class to lead  tension-free life saying 
that the fee is only Rs 1999/- etc. When we  swicth on T.V. in the morning , so 
many men and women will be doing  some Asanas posing to us. Aged people will 
have walkings.Advice will  also be there   to do all these in the early 
mornings.
  Are they running these classes free?Every month there are fees, besides  
expenditure on dresses, expenditure on transport( to and fro)etc. What  is the 
result? Is there any decrease in tension? If we calculate all  these 
expenditure, tension will certainly increase. But our  fore-fathers formulated 
all these yoga etc in a simple way in life. 
  Before sunrise, we have to walk extensively to reach tank river etc to  do 
our early morning-duties( toilet, washing teeth etc).  Walking  is there. Ozone 
is pure in the early morning and we breathe fresh and  free air with the result 
blood is purified. After morning duties,  bathing, doing sandhya etc in the 
tank/river  will necessitate our  body to bend low, to erect etc which are all 
exercise to body. There is  pranayamam in Sandhyavandanam.Nowadays, there are 
fees-collecting  classes to teach pranayamam. Our fore-fathers left a very fine 
way to  us to adopt without any financial strain and without tension.  
Meditation ,dyanam are one and the same. During Sandhyavandanam,   we are 
meditating Gayathri Devi. At classes they say to integrate mind  and knowledge. 
We are doing the same in Sandhyavandanam. We see people  without mental 
satisfaction after spending huge money on yoga, dyanam,  meditation classes, 
while it can be done without spending even a paisa  in ourhouse
 while performing sandhyavandanam. 
 Our youngsters can  lead a tension-free life atleast now bearing in mind such 
of these good  things ,shown by our fore-fathers..A question will arise whether 
it is  possible to do sandhya,jabham dyanam etc in the flats amidst noise of  
shandy and crowded atmosphere. Itis in our hand to utilise the  opportunity in 
the best possible way.We can do all these things , if we  raise from the bed a 
little bit earlier. We go to office early morning,  if we are asked to come.  
We catch the bus/train in the early  morning after bath etc because there will 
be no immediate next  conveyance. If we adjust for all these things, why can't 
we   adjust to the good habits,shown by our fore-fathers?
