<span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ihnFjwW7nVU13ObtK24XKQe9MAjFe1rFqs_NHz8GTqGUFmrfoBuwvTmiB7hMSS8U4nP2fSfOFAEiHDo5x0iqAvo5S5vsd4xGEf3vv2SbUUM5y6EY9YgywDK4sO2jNDUsgXcFCsnikUA/s1600/nn1.jpg" height="320" width="233" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We need to CHANGE. Enough of all negative postings. We have been programmed in the last 30 years to think that we are poor, we are a weak race - and in the process, we have lost our self esteem, our pride, our self confidence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We "forgot" that we are a RICH race - by wealth/financially (Chanakya / Arthasastras), by health (Ayurvedic and Yogas), through Science (Astrologies, via our own Scientists, i.e. Siddhars), through mind-control (Meditation, Asanas), through Astral projections/communications (Temples, Energy Vortexes, and Ancestral worships), and many other wonders, that even left modern scientists baffled at our (Hindu) achievements.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Jews and Germans - knowing the secrets and the power of our Vedas - are translating and developing all the technologies mentioned therein. Just do a search on Vedas at Amazon.com, and you will find Vedas translated in German language. Technologies are being plagiarized using the Science found by our Siddhars. Client-server technology vs Akasha records. Nuclears vs Brahmastras. Astronauts vs Soul-travellers (jothi). Jets vs Vimanas. Power Yoga vs Topukaaranam. We created the numeral systems (-0-9). Genetic transmutation. Test-tube babies. Atomic/cellular/Quantum Physics. Homams - You name it! We have done it thousands of years ago. Our origin/ancient language is the ONLY one that can be communicated and understood at the Astral level and different dimensions!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were once Conquerers. But our history had been wiped out. Think about it - The entire Asia was under our rule. From north - Angkor wat - a Hindu kingdom. then Thailand. Gangga Nagara. Kadaram. Kota Gelanggi (Johor). Then The Lion City - Singgap-oor. Hindu spreads to Indonesia (Borobudur / Bali) - and cultures were widespread in all these places even until now. Do you think it's an easy feat for mere mortals to accomplish?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are the only race that produced scientists (Siddhars) who could travel through the universe, and tells you - in exact measurement - the distance between sun and earth, the planets, the galaxies, and to the minute atomic levels. We have Scientist / Siddhar who have written formulas on transmuting physical self into light. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We know who we are before we are born, we knew our purpose of life, and we know precisely where we would be after this life. There are documented evidences given by our religion by means of Sruthis, Vedas, Tantras and Puranas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have Scientist who have taught various arts and science. Name it, and our race's footprints are there. NASA's scientists comprises of 30% of Indians - do you think this is by chance?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WE ARE A GREAT RACE! We are a WONDER race! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But let me tell you.... we had been oppressed. Our MIND was conquered .. to their benefit - and we now think that we are a poor race, a race of no values, a race that is weak - both economically and health, a race only good for drinks and crimes. Majority of us have been CONDITIONED over time to accept this as a culture by the political authorities. We came here to develop this country, we were physically fit workhorses, at the same time we were the rich businessmen. However, instead of progressing, we regressed since the 1980's.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When things gets repeatedly mentioned over time - it gets planted permanently in our mind .. as though its part of us. When you are told in the last 30 years that Indians are part of the crime - the mind accepts. And forms that image of the society. We slowly accept it as a norm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We need to BREAK THIS!! And we have to START NOW!.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It might take another 30 years... but let us take the first step. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BREAK AWAY from what you have been programmed to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the first step from hereon - take this pledge - that you (as individual) will NOT tolerate mediocrity in yourself. That you will not ALLOW anyone to say anything NEGATIVE about you or your race, or your religion. Immediately SHIELD yourselves from the negativities. Rebut immediately by acknowledging who you are, and what a GREAT race you are from. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And you shall COMMIT to yourself - that from TODAY (and no matter how many years this will take), I will pledge to think only positive thoughts. We are RICH race. We are Wealthy! We are healthy! We are geniuses .. just waiting to be "re"-awakened!. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let this be the first note, of more great things to come, for our race and religion. Use your mental strength to fight these conditioning of our mind (not physical). Remember, we are a race that could use our mind to travel out of our body and achieve non-human feats. We are a race that can transmute / manifest / unmanifest our own DNA's. Equip yourself with this power! Spend your next few years re-learning these skills. Empower yourselves and your children. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking at the various posts in blogs and facebooks, there are a lot of us who are aware of the Science of the Hinduism. Unfortunately, there's a lot of anger, misdirected energy within us - frustrated at suppression of the authority, and the way our race, religion and culture are being ridiculed on a daily basis. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be part of this new revolution in creating the awareness, positivity, and educating our generation and future generation on the power within us given by our religion. Be proud of carrying this Hindu DNA in you. Unnai arinthaal!! You can be a mortal or eternal souls - if you realize who you are! No other race have the capabilities like we do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The survival of this GREAT Hindu Parambhara is in our hand.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In line with the directive from the Malaysian Hindu Sangam, we urge all our temple devotees, and Hindu public generally, to avoid (and possibly boycott) any prayer items that carries itself the images of Gods, such as the Incense stick, camphor, calendars, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let us use some level of common-sense and respect for the universal Energies. We see calendars carrying images of Gods being torn and thrown away into dustbins, or being stepped upon as rubbishes. We have seen old calendars being used to wrap food items, including the non-vegetarian dishes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have seen empty boxes of incenses with images of Lakshmi thrown away in dustbin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What respect do we have for our Gods and Divine beings?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the other extreme, we have devotees who refuses to thrown any books/magazines, boxes of camphors, calendars, etc.. that carries the image of Gods - for YEARS at home! They believe its a sin to do so. These gets piled up at home - without knowing the direction on what to do with these magazines (and whether it's a sin to throw images of Gods).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why supporting commercial entities that uses religion and images of Gods to pursue their wealth gains, with complete disregard to the sentiments of the Hindus? Boycott them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Buy products that does not carry any images of Gods. Do Dharma to your religion, and teach these values to your children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please do share these message around.</span><br />

<strong>ARE WE THERE YET???</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

With all the things that's happening around us, let's go through the checklist, written some 5000 years ago though Bhagavad Gita, on whether we are behaving the way described in the holy scriptures.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<strong>PROGRESS OF KALI-YUGA</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Afterwards, due to the effect of adverse Time, all excellence's like Truth, cleanliness, forbearance, compassion, longevity, memory and strength will decay. In the age of Kali, wealth takes the place of high birth, virtuous conduct and character in estimating a man's worth. Might will become right, being accepted as the factor determining what is Dharma and what is justice. Mutual attraction will become the sole consideration for marital alliance. Business / trade will become tantamount to the practice of fraud.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Skill in lovemaking will be deemed as the chief excellence in man and woman. The sacred thread will become the whole distinctive feature of a Brahmana. External marks will become the only insignia of Ashramas (Life-phases). Justice will be dispensed depending on the economic status. If a man is adept in abusive vocabulary, he will be considered a scholar. Poverty will constitute proof of guilt and ostentation and show will become the hallmark of character. Mating will be looked upon as marriage (to the exclusion of tradition and ordainment); bathing will be significant only hygienically and not ritually. A holy water (Tirta) will mean only water at a distance (and not the Guru near at hand). A well-made up tress will become the criterion for beauty.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Men will live to eat and not eat to live. Audacious speech will be the substitute for truth. The man, who maintains the family by any means, will be deemed resourceful and respectable. Dharma will be maintained solely for reputation. When humanity degenerates this way, whoever is powerful amongst Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas or Sudras will become the rulers. These greedy and cruel rulers, following the ways of brigands and plunderers, will lay their hands on the womenfolk and wealth of their subjects, who, therefore, will be compelled to take shelter in mountains and forests.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

Oppressed by heavy taxation and absence of rainfall, people will have to subsist on greens, roots, flesh, honey, fruits, flowers, tubers and the like. Reduced to misery, they will fight amongst themselves and perish. Stricken by hunger, thirst and disease and distressed with worrying thoughts, men in Kali will be short-lived, their life-span being only twenty to thirty years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

When due to the evil influence of Kali, men become physically weak, when the Dharma of the Varnas and Ashramas inculcated by the Vedas perishes, when the ways of the atheists and their teachings become wide-spread, when kings degenerate into mere robbers, while men in general begin to indulge in theft, falsehood and vain slaughter, when all Varnas come to the level of Sudras, when cows degenerate to the level of goats, when monasteries and religious settlements become mere places of enjoyment like homes, when sex relationship comes to be recognized as the only relationship, when plants get dwarfed, when trees become small and shade-less, when clouds begin to emit only lightning, when homes become devoid of holy rites - thus with the advancement of Kali, when men begin to be animal-like, the Lord will incarnate again in a form of Sattva for the protection of Dharma.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

The incarnation of Vishnu, the Supreme Lord and the Preceptor of all beings, is meant for the protection of the Dharma of holy men and to liberate them from the bondage of Karma. God will incarnate as Kalki in the house of a well-known headman of the village of Sambala, called Vishnuyasas. Seated on a very fast moving horse named Devadatta, given by Indra and the other Devas, Kalki, the Lord of all, endowed with the eight yogic powers (Ashtaiswarya) and of matchless splendor, will course through the earth at high speed, destroying the countless plunderers parading as kings. When all the evildoers have been uprooted, the people of towns and villages will have the contact of the fragrant air of the unguents (sandal paste etc.) of the body of Vasudeva, which will render their minds very pure. When Vasudeva, the embodiment of strength and purity, is lodged in their hearts, they will procreate progeny that are mentally and physically strong. From the time of the incarnation of the worshipful Lord, the Lord of Dharma, Krita Yuga will begin and a race of men with Sattva Guna dominating, will be generated. When the moon, sun and Jupiter come in a single house with the constellation Pushya, then Krita Yuga will begin.</div>

In Kali Yuga, only a fourth part of the attributes of Dharma, such as Truthfulness etc. would survive. Even that fourth part of the whole would decay day by day due to dominance of Adharma attributes and at the end of the Kali Yuga, even that (one) fourth part of Dharma would have vanished. People of Kali Yuga would be niggardly Lobha, of blemished conduct, Durachara, bereft of compassion, would quarrel over purposeless objects, devoid of lustre 'Tejas', or poverty-stricken, would be greedy and will have as their chiefs Sudra and fishermen.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

The Gunas (disposition of Nature) will be influenced by the Kali Yuga. (In Kali Yuga itself, in the mind of the Jiva, the three (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas) dispositions will be alternating and under the prompting (propensity) of the Kali Yuga, variations take place in the functioning of the Gunas). When the mind, intellect and senses dwell in Sattva in a large measure, due to which attraction would ensue in enlightenment and Tapas, then (even in Kali) the existence of Krita Yuga should be seen. When the Jivas are attracted to desire-prompted Karmas, then the Rajas dominated Treta Yuga should be seen. When miserliness, Lobha, non-happiness, self-importance (self-worshipfulness), pride, jealousy, attraction for desire-oriented Karmas occur, perceive then the advent of Rajas -Tamas dominant Dvapara Yuga. When Lie, delusion, indolence, sleep, 'Himsa, sorrow, anguish, illusion, fear and helplessness arise, it should be realised that Tamas dominated Kali age has dawned. Due to the effect of Kali, people will be dull-witted (dull-headed), luckless, gluttonous (eating in disregard of time), in penury and lustful, in addition to womenfolk being adulteresses and of evil conduct.</div>

Countries will abound in thieves. The Vedas will be perverted by atheists, the rulers will swallow their subjects (oppressing the subjects with heavy taxes and the like), Brahmana, Kshatriya and Vaisya would involve themselves only in sense gratification and livelihood pursuits.</div>

Brahmacharins will be bereft of Sastric ordained rites - purities, householders will resort to alms-seeking, Tapasvis – Vanaprastas - will take to residences in villages and Sannyasins will be attracted to wealth. Further, the womenfolk will be of short stature (Dwarf), gluttonous, bearing many children, devoid of shame, always addicted to cruel speech, prolific, hypocratic and very obstinate.</div>

Traders and businessmen will be low-minded, obfuscating, and doing their avocation of buying and selling likewise. Also, they will resort to prohibited path even when there is no danger to life/livelihood. Employees will desert even benevolent masters when they are no more affluent. Also, masters will abandon servants employed for generations, if they are in danger (like sickness) and so also abandon barren cows.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

People in Kali-age, forsaking their own parents, brothers, well wishers and cousins, will take to relatives ensuing from wife's side and take counsel with wife's brothers and sisters. They will be debilitated and lustful. People in Kali will ever be frightened, afflicted by tax and the like, worried over failure of timely rains. Also, bereft of good clothes, wholesome food, healthy drinks, comfortable beds, pure wifely comforts, ordained bath and ornaments they will resemble ghosts and ghouls with parched lands / fields.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

In Kali, people will fight even for a pittance, develop animosity and in the process, abandon friendliness and even give up or take lives, including those of their fold. People will be of unwholesome (low) nature, engaged in satiating stomach and male organ and will not look after the aged parents and able sons. In Kali-age, with their minds perverted by Pashandas (Pretenders), people will not worship the sole and exclusive preceptor of the Universe and the Supreme Lord 'Achyuta', whose lotus feet are bowed to by the Lords of all the worlds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

In Kali, people will not worship the Supreme Lord, by uttering/chanting whose names, people on the threshold of death, seized by sickness/diseases, who have fallen down or slipped, will be redeemed from the obstacles arising from their Karmas and attain to the shining realms. If the Supreme Lord enters the heart of man, such a man is redeemed from all the blemishes arising from Kali-effect through food, unholy place of residence and sense contacts. By being heard about, hymned about, meditated upon, worshiped or adored, the Lord enters into the heart of man and when He so enters, He destroys all the evil tendencies acquired over innumerable lives. Just like the fire removes the impurities from gold, the indwelling God removes the blemished tendencies of the Yogis. The totality of purity acquired by the mind when the divine presence is involved in the heart, cannot be accomplished by learning, austerities, Pranayama, by love towards all beings, holy births, Vratas, gifts and Mantra - Japa.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

O Parikshit! You, who are at the threshold of death, maintain tranquility and install, by all means at your disposal, the Supreme Lord in your heart. By doing so, you will attain salvation. The Supreme Lord, Soul of souls, the support of all and to be meditated upon by men threatened with imminent death, gives Himself to such devotees (Saaroopyam). O King! This Kali, though the.repository of blemish 'Dosha', has got a very high virtue, viz. by the Nama Sankirtana of Krishna itself, man secures release from bondage and attains to the Feet of the Paramatma - Supreme Lord. Whatever is attained to in Kritayuga through meditation on Mahavishnu, through the sacrificial rites in Treta Yuga and through ritualistic worship in Dwapara Yuga, all that is accomplished - attained to - by Hari Kirtana itself in Kali Yuga. ('Krute Yat Ddhyatho Vishnu, Tretayam Yajato Makaha Yagam: Dwapare Paricharyayam Kalow Tat Harl Kirtanaha’)</div>

We were inundated with numerous calls and messages, members of public being outraged that the Temple had given out IC’s to illegal migrants to facilitate the General Election (GE13).

15.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We suspect this is a foul play by the author who might belong to an interested party to further split the unity of Hindu and Indians, by posting this malicious video, to provoke the anger amongst the Indians.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
16.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Again, we have to reiterate - We are here with an objective to serve Lord Narayana. Temple being a religious centre, we are duty-bound to serve the community through various social initiatives. Our intentions were clear that is to help out the <b>Indian to obtain the IC’s</b>. Unfortunately, this had been used by certain parties to manipulate the mind of the Hindus and Indians.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
18.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>As some of the commenters in the YouTube asked…. <b>WHY did the person upload a video taken 2 years ago was posted SO CLOSE TO THE ELECTION</b> (and claiming that BN is giving out citizenship JUST for the election)? Is this an election ploy by certain party to divert the mind of Indians?. The above was a comment from someone in Youtube – we do not want to assume whether it’s BN or PR. The fact is – it was a malicious attack on the temple’s intention of doing social service for the community.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
19.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The temple’s well-guarded reputation had been tarnished by an unscrupulous non-hindu by misleading the community. The Temple is <b>COMPLETELY AGAINST</b> the culture of bringing in Ghost/Phantom voters, and we <b>DO NOT</b> condone any unethical methods of being elected in the office, other than through democratic means, through the vote of the Rakyat. At all cost, we do not want any illegal Bangladeshis or Indonesians to be given the same right as us as CITIZENS of this country.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
21.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Meanwhile, we advice all Hindus and Indians to be united in getting rid of these divide and rule mentality of certain parties. VOTE OUT people that lacks integrity, morality and ethics. Vote out corruption. Vote for your rights, and for the future your children. Turn out in full force tomorrow (May 5th) and Vote – for the betterment of our society. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Recently, I was invited to celebrate a birthday party. A friend of mine invited me for the 21</span><sup style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">st</sup><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
birthday of his son. The atmosphere was “fantastic” and party-like. Free-flow of soft drinks and beers. Spicy Mutton Perattal to complement the beers. Party clown were called in to entertain the
children. Magic shows, live band music,
door-gifts, you name it – it was a REAL PARTYYYY!!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Karat Tamil songs were blasted so that the whole
neighbourhood could hear. The birthday
was held<b> <u>outside the house</u></b> (with beautiful tents built that blocked at
least 3 houses) – I am sure they have obtained the permission of their neighbours. Afterall, it’s nice to have a good and understanding
neighbour. The birthday boy was…. hhhmmm… somehow well dressed – very western -
wearing a coat and full suit. But being a typical Indian fler, he can’t take the
India out of him – he was wearing a slipper, and his neck glitters with thick
gold necklace, shiny bracelet in his hand, ear-piercing and large earring that
could make all the grandmas envious. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Birthday song was sung.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">hEpi bert-dEi to yuuuuu!
hEpi bert-dEi to yuuuuu! hEpi
bert-dEi to (whatever his name is)! Followed
by some giggles from the crowd (God knows why). hEpi bert-dEi to yyyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Some claps.
And more giggles (still don’t know why).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The birthday boy, with his ego now fully polished…. Surrounded
by family, maama, macha’s, and consciously aware that there are chicks around
him….. raises his chest to show his machoism, and blows the candles (21 candles,
mind you!). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ooopps!! He didn’t manage
to blow all of them at first attempt.
Blushes seen from the macho macha.
He looks at people surrounding him and smiles to cover up his lost
pride. And more giggles from the
audience (still don’t know why!). He
blows the remaining candles again, with ALL HIS MIGHT!! He did it! Phew… saved pride. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Then, as in the “normal Indian tradition”, the birthday boy
cuts the cake into small pieces to feed their parents. Small enough, as he is aware that his parents
are diabetic. Why feeding the sweet
cake to his diabetic parents? Saangiya-tirku
(for the sake of tradition), shouts someone on the floor. I had the urge to ask him to <u>cite the
reference</u>! (which part of Hinduism he extracted this Saangiyam from). Just because one is a Sheep that follows the
rest of the flock of sheeps, does not make a culture! Just because they have seen someone else
practices this on their birthday, does not mean we have to follow suit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, after feeding the parents, relatives, and family, the
rest adjourned for a barbaric fiesta laid outside their home. Sorry to use that word – bad of me!. But I don’t know how to describe this. Let me describe it differently. Animals cut into pieces (and given glamour
names – mutton perattal, chicken kurma, udang sweet and sour, fish sambal, chilli
crab, among other animals). And served
in the mucchanti (edge/middle of the road) where only ghosts and devils dwells. Heh?
You don’t believe ghosts dwells at the road in front of your house? Ask the Chinese why they burn hell money
outside their home!. Check out
vaastu-sastra and feng shui on its significance. So, let me ask you - Are these food catered for
your guests, or padayal (offering) for the hungry ghosts?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lack of knowledge is the root of all evil. And your lack of knowledge on culture and
religion is not an excuse, but a SIN. And
you, consciously knowing or otherwise, are paying the price of your sins
through the various challenges that you face in your life, your family, culture
and nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hinduism is a way of life.
It’s a culture communicated through symbolism and stories/puranas, so
that the message gets across the common people, unless of course, you are
curious enough to go deeper into the SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY used in the
religion. If you don’t know the
subject, LEARN. If you have no time to
seek religious education, for heaven sake, at least, Google it!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Let’s revisit this birthday celebration. I can’t beat the system, I admit. But I am duty-bound to communicate to as many
people who are reading this blog on the proper practice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">1. Firstly, do realize that, this is a western
culture. Nothing wrong in it. It’s just that, many are not able to decipher
the science behind the Hinduism. And furthermore,
it’s more ‘happening’ to show off our knowledge on western culture.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">3. But in Hinduism, blowing a candle (or any

</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">4. AGNI
– is a very powerful medium. He is one
of the Lords of Loka-Paalas. For you to
reach and communicate to Gods, Agni is the medium/channel. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">He is
the protector of all ceremonies</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">Be
it whether it’s birthdays, weddings, Homams, etc…, Agni bhagavan is invoked
first, so that the ultimate prayers (of the devotee) can be channeled to the
respective God(s). Look around and
OBSERVE – anywhere there is God - at home in the altar, temple, in meditation, wedding,
birthday, when a child is born, even in death ceremonies, etc… - there will
always be LIGHT (Fire/Agni)!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">5. He
is the messenger between earth and heaven – commissioned by God and human – to maintain
the communication between these two parties.
And to bring them (the Gods) from the sky to the place of worship (i.e.
in the Homam and altars). Without Agni,
Gods experience no satisfaction in your prayers.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">6. Prayers
travel through your mind to the Gods (and manifest) through lights (I.e.
Agni). One of the best medium of
getting your prayers answers is via the Nei Villaku (ghee lamp) that you light
in front of your deity in the temple. This
is a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">TECHNOLOGY</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;"> given by the ancient
Hindu scientists, for the common people to communicate with Gods easily. Your thoughts (and desires) in your mind gets
directed to the Nature, and manifests in real life, and the ghee as well as the
light (Agni) plays SIGNIFICANT role in your prayers, towards the SUCCESS of
your life. More on this in my later
blogs.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">7. Since FIRE is the most significant medium to
communicate with the Gods, all auspicious events begins by invoking this
important act. I.e. lighting up the
Fire. (In the above birthday context,
lighting up the fire via the candles).</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">8. Dousing of fire through blowing off the
light (agni) is only performed in funerals ceremonies, and NEVER in auspicious
ceremonies. This is usually to signify
the release of the soul from the bondage of this earth. Fire symbolizes life, and absence of fire
equals to absence of life (i.e. death).</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal;">9. So, I feel ODD when people clap when the
birthday boy douses of the candle. I
hope you know where I coming from now.
We are not celebrating death. </span></li>

longevity, good health, wealth and happiness.
Do archanai and sangkalpam. Don’t
forget the nei-vilakku. Do it with
family members. More thoughts released for

Nice Butts.... BUT!!</h2>
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">If you notice the "recent" Hindu weddings, the entire family and friends will be crowding the wedding stage (manavarai) for no apparent reason.</span><br />
<h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="messageBody" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"><br />For the bride/groom and their family - realize a few things:<br /><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">1. You have invited your guests, and they might be coming from all over the country, or even around the world. All they get to see is your relatives wide butts.<br />2. It's VERY disrespectful.<br />3. It shows lack of planning on your side.<br />4. It shows people on the stage have no common-sense, etiquette, and manners (by blocking the audience).<br /><br />In Hindu culture, we invite our family and friends so that they could shower blessings to the wedded couples through the aksyatai's. So, as a guest, how can we bless you guys, when these group of relatives block our view? Without you realizing it, your invited guests would in fact CURSE you (via their negative thoughts or words) and the wedding ceremony. Isn't this defeating the purpose of inviting them in the first place?<br /><br />Why are there amateurs, holding on to their mobile phones, IPhones, IPads, etc.. at the wedding stage, when they are not the appointed photographers? Emotions aside (the bride or groom might be your dearest), but can't you guys THINK for a second that there are hundreds and thousands </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;">(behind you)</span><span style="color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;">who wants to share/observe this auspicious occasion as well?</span></h5>

<span class="messageBody" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.38;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />And who gave the authority for the official videographers and photographers to block the view of the audience? If you can't take the videos from a proper angle, doesn't that reflect badly on your professional service? Are you guys lacking experience in understanding this basic thing - that you have not been given any authority to block the view of the audience?<br /><br />Don't you know that in our culture, seeking the blessings from family, relatives, friends, arundhati, and others, are MORE important that the culture of PASAR (wet market) environment that you guys are creating in the wedding stage?<br /><br />Please do make it a point to:<br />1. Announce in your wedding card for the guests to be PUNCTUAL.<br />2. Make it formal by announcing in the card that only PARENTS / GUARDIANS, maapilai tholan, ponnu tholi are required to be ON STAGE. The rest, however important you are, though you are a family member, please stay either AT THE SIDE, or below (possibly in the first few rows - if they are considered VIPs in the family).<br />3. Appoint someone to monitor this, and to politely usher these "crowds" to their seats.<br />4. Hire Professional Videographers / Photographers who could respect the audience and the importance of their blessings.<br /><br />Please have a thought on this. And please be considerate. YOU make a difference in the next wedding that you attend. Guard the etiquette and our culture. SHARE this so that everyone can be aware of the importance of this once-a-lifetime ritual.</span></span></h5>

<br />
We, as Hindus, have some serious SELF-IMAGE problem.<br />
<br />
When our own culture has Siddhars and ancient SCIENTIST, we refuse to acknowledge, read about them, or practice it in proper manner. These are people who have developed technologies for divine mind, soul travel, healthy life, and the ability to obtain success in your material world, including wealth that you desire. <br />
<br />
But when a Westerner who appreciates these teachings and wisdom starts preaching on this subject, the Hindus believes and embraces them.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk7BTnSjcNgpVGOTcAGmWeJ28kO5wmRTfm3LdPiz8mHq8o22vbD739i6g17dWPK1Q7JsiGJfDbSxuLc0mL5Qo3lu9QSZrznqDyv83alXE-MKxhFan_1FxoTFR34KN9-iYkDWwFHRbNqY8/s1600/babaji.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk7BTnSjcNgpVGOTcAGmWeJ28kO5wmRTfm3LdPiz8mHq8o22vbD739i6g17dWPK1Q7JsiGJfDbSxuLc0mL5Qo3lu9QSZrznqDyv83alXE-MKxhFan_1FxoTFR34KN9-iYkDWwFHRbNqY8/s200/babaji.jpg" width="160" /></a>God's knowledge, Nature, wisdom and science given by our Siddha's and scientists (e.g. Vallalaar, Agasthiar, Thirumoolar, Bogar, and other 14 Siddhars/scientists) WERE FREE IN NATURE. But these are not "cool" for the Hindus.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSvO5T2Z-xSjoyS5au1MS-PLqc7Hvaq13DvXD4C40xGVG1Qwa5Mt2mfaFJEp-jpVP87IxOh70KUDBy1A_iSzFg1AAUA-UndYg97XAnI8L9q9PZudTMPexMh5GX-qGycaZFQmMq8kJKia4/s1600/ramalinga_adigalar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSvO5T2Z-xSjoyS5au1MS-PLqc7Hvaq13DvXD4C40xGVG1Qwa5Mt2mfaFJEp-jpVP87IxOh70KUDBy1A_iSzFg1AAUA-UndYg97XAnI8L9q9PZudTMPexMh5GX-qGycaZFQmMq8kJKia4/s200/ramalinga_adigalar.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
When westerners copies these system and asks them to pay thousands for their "corporate trainings", they are more than willing to (foolishly) pay!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
- Think about Vallalaar's Atomic theory vs Albert Einsteins theory (found 50 years after Vallalar's discovery)<br />
<br />
- Think about the Topukaranam vs Super Yoga.<br />
<br />
- Think about the Vaahanams described in the various scriptures and Puranas vs "the ancient Vahanas" and "Ancient Aliens" shown in History Channel.<br />
<br />
- Think about the Chanakya's Leadership and Art of Politics vs Sun Tzu art of war, Napoleon Hill, Antony Robbins, and thousand other western motivational gurus.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I urge EVERY HINDU to EMBRACE the teachings of our Gurus and Siddhas. These are GENIUSES beyond comparison!!<br />
<br />

I'll attempt to post many of these SCIENCES behind the religion periodically. And more importantly, the proper, scientific way of praying, and getting the success that you seek via prayers.<br />

Look out for more updates on this blog.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| I am presenting the Hindu Myths in the most simplified manner, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| so that Purana-katha's could reach the ordinary folks in the most </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| simplified manner. Bearing in mind that the story itself has </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| scientific explanations, but telling these myths </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| in the scientific language will only distance the audience - and it </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| should be read only when they are ready to absorb that level of </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| knowledge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">|</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Please use this Mythical stories as:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 1. a General knowledge on Hinduism</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 2. a bedtime story for your children to trigger their right-brain </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| creativity through story-telling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 3. a guide to understand the greatness of Sri Maha Vishnu, </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once upon a time, there lived a good and holy man called Manu. But Manu was not happy because everyone around him, including his wife and children, were dishonest and wicked people. They laughed at his honest ways and taunted him for being a silly fool. But Manu refused to be swayed by their words and went about life in a quiet and righteous fashion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

One morning as he poured water over his hands, he heard a tiny voice cry, “Help! Help!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">LITTLE FISH<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Surprised, Manu looked around him and into the well. But he could see no one. Then he looked into the pot of water and in it was a tiny horned fish. As Manu watched, the fish opened its mouth and spoke to him in human voice, “Preserve me and I will preserve you!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Manu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I shall not harm you. But how will you help me? You are so tiny that a frog can swallow you in one gulp!” The fish swam a full circle and said, “I cannot reveal the future to you but preserve me and I shall preserve you….”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Manu left the fish in the little pot and put it away in a safe place. He knew if his children saw the fish, they would kill it just for fun. Every day, Manu fed the fish and it talked to him about life and the importance of being a good human being. The fish grew rapidly and soon he had to move it to a tank at the bottom of his garden. But the fish continued to grow and so he moved it to a nearby lake. But it wouldn’t stop growing and Manu turned to the fish for help. “You will soon be bigger than the lake! Where shall I keep you now?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Soon, it will be a time for me to fulfil the purpose for which I was sent here”, the fish said and Manu did as it asked him to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ocean was a few hours away from his house. After the fish moved to the ocean, Manu would go there every evening with a bag of puffed rice. When he scattered the rice on the waves, the fish would appear before him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A SHIP FOR THE SEED OF EVERY LIVING BEING<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One evening, it was waiting for Manu and when he walked into the waves, the fish said, “Manu, the time has come for you to plan your escape. I want you to build a ship and keep in it the seed of every living being. You too must live in it. Do not stay in your house once the ship is ready”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Manu was bemused by the fish’s order. But he trusted the fish greatly. By now, Manu had realized that it was no ordinary creature. So he went to the forest and set about chopping some strong trees. As he cut the branches and built his ship, his family and neighbours mocked him. “Ho, ho, ho… going somewhere, are you?” one man said. “What a fool he is! He’s building a ship so far away from the sea. How do you plan to get it into the water? Will you wait for the rains to sweep it away? Ha, ha, ha…”, his family laughed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But Manu went about his task. Soon, the ship was built and he began to live in it. “He’s gone mad!”, his wife shrieked. “Why has he stopped living in his house and started living in a ship that’s not even on the sea?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But Manu refused to get angry and continued to live in the ship. Every evening he went to meet the fish, which had grown as big as a hill now. “Tonight’s the night!”, the fish said. “There will be a great storm and the flood waters will destroy all living creatures. Stay in your ship and I shall come for you”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Manu rushed home to warn his family and the whole town. “Come into my ship. You will be safe there. The flood waters will kill all of you”, he cried. But no one would listen to him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was a storm so powerful that no one had seen anything like it before. Rain poured down in torrents, lightning flashed continuously, and the waters of the ocean rose higher and higher. Soon the whole world was submerged. No man, woman or child survived, except Many, who stayed dry and warm in his ship that floated on the surface of the rising water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Manu did as the fish asked and it towed his ship through the waters. They sailed high above the Himalayan peaks and the tall mountains of the world. The journey took so many days and years and Manu began to feel lonely. He missed human company. “Is the world to end with me?” he worried. “Am I to be the last man on earth? Please Gods, help me. I would like to have some children, to love and protect and to leave the legacy of life”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Millions of people go through life in poverty because they have made destructive use of the Law of Habit.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It's been programmed, for reasons only they know why, that majority of people SPEND what they have than they do about ways and means of SAVING.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

Fix in your mind the thought that your ability is limited to a given earning capacity, and you will <b>never earn</b> more than that!, because the law of habit will set up the limitation of the amount you can earn, your subconscious will accept this limitation, and soon, due to your own programming of mind, you will be slipping into poverty; opportunities will no longer knock at your door.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<b>Debt is SLAVERY</b>!. Poverty alone is sufficient to kill off one's ambitions, destroys your self confidence and hope, but add to it the burden of debt, you are doomed for failure.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

Understand this, when you are in poverty, no man can express himself in terms that commands respect, no man can create a definite purpose in life, with heavy debt hanging over his head. <b>Don't be a SLAVE</b> to poverty. Do not let your generation and ancestors to be shamed by your own children and grandchildren in future!</div>

There is nothing quite so humiliating, that carries such great agony and suffering, as poverty in old age, when personal services are no longer marketable, and one must turn to relatives or to charitable organizations for mere existence.</div>

<li>Quit the habit of buying on credit. Abandon credit cards. Do not be fooled by monthly installment schemes. Why do you buy in credit, when you have the Debits? And if you dont have the debits, why do you buy in the first place? Accumulate enough cash (Debit) and buy in cash on things that you desire.</li>
<li>Create the habit of regular saving proportion to your income... whatever the income may be. As an advice, and as a start, dump in <b>minimum 20% </b>of your income to create the habit of saving. PAY YOURSELF FIRST, before you pay others (credit cards, mortgages, etc..).</li>
<li>DO NOT, for whatever reasons, spend more than your income.</li>
<li>Include in your Daily PRAYERS, with a burning desire, on the amount of money you intend to have, and most importantly, what you intend to GIVE IN RETURN for that abundance of wealth. </li>
<li><b>Laxmi-Kuberan Yaagam</b> organized and conducted by <b>Perumal Temple, Klang (see events) </b> provides an ideal avenue for you to energize your prayers above, and to obtain divine blessing in achieving your financial goals.</li>
<li>Involve and mix with people who are wealthy and with integrity.</li>

NAVAGRAHA PRAYERS</h2>
<div>
Just last week (Apr 21, 2012), I had a "situation" at the Navagraha Temple at the Perumal Temple, Klang.<br />
It was a Saturday night, obviously rather crowded with devotees who are performing their religious duties.<br />
<br />
As usual, I go for my rounds to see if everything goes well at Perumal Temple and at Navagraha temple.<br />
I noticed a man carrying the Ellu (Sesame Seeds) Chatty and was going around the temple with the villaku (lamp). I stopped him, and advised him that it is not proper to go around the temple carrying the lamp, for reasons that I will explain below.<br />
<br />
The man got offended, and asked me to hold the lamp instead. He became furious and told me off that he have doing this for more than 10 years, and who am I to stop him from going around the navagraha temple carrying the lamp.<br />
<br />
I have advised him that, it is my duty, as the temple representative, to advice the devotees on the proper manner and processes of religious rituals.<br />
<br />
Unhappy still, the man just left the lamp, stopped his prayers, and left... while still shouting and complaining about the way I have treated him.<br />
<br />
Well.... one of those days for me! All are done in the name and for the benefit of the Lord!.<br />
<h3>
Bad practices</h3>
<div>
First, recognize that Navagraha (and especially Sani Bhagavan) are NOT negative energies. Each of the navagraha produces tremendous balans (benefits) for the devotees. For example, Sani Bhagavan is a GREAT teacher of life. He creates challenges in life, so that our soul matures and transformation takes place so that we could seek success in our life. Sani Bhagavan is also the 'Ayul-kaaragan', i.e. he takes care of the longevity of ones life. I have observed the following BAD practices by devotees when they approach the Navagraha (and you will be amazed at the things that the priests and temple goes through when it comes to Navagraha prayers):</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Devotees <b>does not accept prasadams</b> from Navagraha. When a flower or fruit is offered to a devotee, the devotee will hold the flower prasadam, circles the prasadam around their head 3 times, and leaves the prasadam at the Navagraha temple - on the assumption that "sani bhagavan will follow them if they carry the prasadam back home". Realise this - Sani Bhagavan, Guru Bhagavan and all other Navagrahams are LORDS, not devils. They are there to help you. Each of the Navagraha carries out specific duties. The prasadams are given as a way as a mean of appreciating the devotees. Therefore, to "return" back the prasadam offered is an insult to the Lords themselves. </li>
<li>Worst, some devotees <b>spits onto the prasadam</b>, and leaves them at the temple.</li>
<li>Worst still, there were incidence where the temple <b>priest were spit at</b>, for the same reason!</li>
<li>Some devotees goes around the Navagraha temple 9 times anti-clockwise</li>
<li>Some devotees goes around the Navagraha temple 7 times clockwise, and 2 times anti-clockwise</li>
<li>Some devotees carries the Ellu (Sesame Seed) lamp while they go around the Navagraha at Perumal Temple.</li>
<li>Some devotees still have some chats left via their mobile device, while going around the temple. </li>
<li>Some devotees purchases just ONE receipt and takes 5-9 Ellu lamps</li>
<li>Some devotees just takes the Ellu lamp without purchasing any receipts.</li>
</ol>
<div>
<h3>
Bad Karmas</h3>
<ol>
<li>When we lack of knowledge, we need to seek the knowledge. Ignorance is a Sin.</li>
<li>Going around anti-clockwise is only done during inauspicious occasions, such as funerals. Hence, we are creating more sins by going around anti-clockwise at the Navagraha temple, since we are facing the Lords and Gods. </li>
<li>One must understand the SIGNIFICANCE of the lamps, the Ghee, and how our minds can send vibrations and messages (praartanai) via these lamps to the Lords. It is not meant to be carried and going around the temple.</li>
<li>One must engage their mind fully concentrating on their praartanai (prayers, purposes in life) instead of getting distracted. Hence the importance of a) turning off your devices. b) Absolute Silence and avoid talking unnecessarily with friends/family/children during the praartanai </li>
<li>The Law of Karma, Law of Compensation plays a role in every action that we do. All Hindus believes in this system. Hence, when we try to break the system by doing any acts that are unethical, breach of trust, dishonesty, etc, it's between you as an individual and the Universe and Gods. Temple is the best place to learn and obtain these good energies.</li>
</ol>
<h3>
