Dear Asthikas
                      You know that I have written and published the following 
books
  1.Srivaishnava Sampradayam---Sila Mukya Vizhaangal(4th edition under print)
  2.Yen--Yenna--Yetharkku( 108 questions & answers) (2nd edition is on sale)
  3Chinna Chinna Vizhayangal Part I & II ( partI --2nd edition under sale)
  4Theettu ( Achucham )
  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
   Dasan, Srikainkarya(Thiruvahindrapuram  Uruppattur 
ChakravarthiSoundararajan)                                                      
     (To be Continued)
