How to have a balanced life?

These are cyclic 

Knowledge helps to earn and save wealth. Also helps to maintain health.

Wealth helps to improve knowledge and maintain health.

Health helps by giving energy for knowledge and earn wealth.

Knowledge has 2 aspects -Material knowledge and Spiritual knowledge

• Whatever today's education system is only material knowledge(Helps in earning money). We need to find the one suitable for us. 
•  Spiritual knowledge can help in maintaining our peace, joy etc. So it's good to spend time in learning sanskrit and reading spiritual books, Doing seva (helps to know the sufferings of others) and Regular satsangs (Express the love for the divine).

Wealth has 2 aspects - Generating new income and saving already earned money.

• Through a job or business we can generate new income.
• With proper investment we can generate partial income and save for future too.

Health has 2 aspects - Prevention and cure

• Yoga, Pranayama and a good life style will prevent from diseases.
• Cure can be with means of things without any side effects. Traditional medicines lie Ayurveda, Sidha, Unani with Acupuncture will be of great help. 

Which is the one leg left without being cut by the Kalipurusha?

Sathyam (truth),  Dharmam ( right way of living), Dhaanam (Charity), Shaucham (Purity) are the 4 legs of the cow, which was the seen by Raja Pareekshith at the time of start of Kaliyuga. 

And Three legs were already cut by the Kali purusha. The One leg left was sathyam, As in Bhagavatham.

  

There is an unseen coincidence here.

Indian flag has these 4 legs as colors and symbol.

Orange - Dhanam or thyaga in turn to sacrifice

White - Shaucham or purity in turn to cleanliness

Green - Dharmam or duty in turn to prosperity

Chakra - Sathyam or truth in turn the time

The only left is Sathyam means the truth. The ultimate truth is impermanence of our life in this world. If our mind stays on this truth of death, we become strong and unshakeable.    

Also Mahathma Gandhi used this as his main motive

(My experiments with the truth) 

Sathyameva Jayathe!

Truth only wins!

Let's teach the world the truth, that is (we breath) athmagyan which will save people from the sufferings given by the Kalipurusha.

Why so much of sufferings in today's world?

यथा वायुं समाश्रित्य वर्तन्ते सर्वजन्तव: |

तथा गॄहस्थमाश्रित्य वर्तन्ते सर्व आश्रमा: ||  मनु| 377

yathaa vaayum samaashritya vartante sarvajantavah

tathaa gruhasthamaashritya vartante sarva aashramaah

Just as, (in this world) all the (living) beings exist, depending on (with the help of) air (vAyu), in the same way, all the other stages of life (i.e. Ashramas) exist depending on the stage of a house-holder (i.e. Grhasthashrama).

The below thirukkural gives the same meaning

இல்வாழ்வான் என்பான் இயல்புடைய மூவர்க்கும்
நல்லாற்றின் நின்ற துணை.

The men of household virtue, firm in way of good, sustain The other orders three that rule professed maintain. 

பரிமேலழகர் உரை:

[அஃதாவது, இல்லாளோடு கூடி வாழ்தலினது சிறப்பு.இந்நிலை அறம் செய்தற்கு உரிய இருவகை நிலையுள் முதலது ஆதலின், இஃது அறன் வலியுறுத்தலின் பின் வைக்கப்பட்டது)

இல்வாழ்வான் என்பான் - இல்லறத்தோடு கூடி வாழ்வான் என்று சொல்லப்படுவான்; இயல்பு உடைய மூவர்க்கும் நல் ஆற்றின் நின்ற துணை- அற இயல்பினையுடைய ஏனை மூவர்க்கும் நல் ஆற்றின் நின்ற துணை - அற இயல்பினையுடைய ஏனை மூவர்க்கும் அவர் செல்லும் நல்லொழுக்க நெறிக்கண் நிலை பெற்ற துணை ஆம். (இல் என்பது ஆகுபெயர். என்பான் எனச் செயப்படு பொருள் வினைமுதல் போலக் கூறப்பட்டது. ஏனை மூவர் ஆவார், ஆசாரியனிடத்தினின்று ஓதுதலும் விரதங்காத்தலும் ஆகிய பிரமசரிய ஒழுக்கத்தானும், இல்லை விட்டு வனத்தின்கண் தீயொடு சென்று மனையாள் வழிபடத் தவஞ் செய்யும் ஒழுக்கத்தானும், முற்றத் துறந்த யோக ஒழுக்கத்தானும் என இவர்; இவருள் முன்னை இருவரையும் பிறர் மதம் மேற்கொண்டு கூறினார். இவர் இவ்வொழுக்க நெறிகளை முடியச் செல்லுமளவும், அச்செலவிற்குப் பசி நோய், குளிர் முதலியவற்றான் இடையூறுவாராமல், உண்டியும் மருந்தும் உறையுளும் முதலிய உதவி, அவ்வந்நெறிகளின் வழுவாமல் செலுத்துதலான் 'நல் ஆற்றின் நின்ற துணை' என்றார்.).

மணக்குடவர் உரை:

இல்வாழ்வானென்று சொல்லப்படுபவன் இயல்புடைய மூவர்க்கும் நல்ல வழியின்கண்ணே நின்றவொருதுணை. (தவசி, பிரமச்சாரி, துறவியாகிய மூவர்) என்றது தானமாகிய வில்லறஞ் செய்யுமவன் தவத்தின்பாற்பட்ட விரதங் கொண்டொழுகாநின்ற பிரமச்சாரிக்கும், தவமேற் கொண்டொழுகாநின்ற வானப்பிரஸ்தன் ஸந்நியாசிகளுக்கும், தத்தம் நிலைகுலையாம லுணவு முதலாயின கொடுத்துப் பாதுகாத்தலின் அவர்க்கு நல்லுலகின்கண் செல்லும் நெறியிலே நின்ற வொரு துணையென்று கூறியவாறாயிற்று. துணையென்பது இடையூறு வாராமலுய்த்து விடுவாரை.

 Because of lack of knowledge and awareness, today the grahasthaas or householders suffer and make others also to suffer.

 

How trees balance humans, why are they important?

The tree is inverse or just opposite of the human, created by the nature for a perfect balance.

* Trees donot move

* Humans move

* Tree's Root is under the earth      

* Man's Root (Brain) works above head 

* Tree takes bad and gives good (Eat's man's wastes) 

* Eating and drinking of trees cannot be seen outside  

* Man takes good and gives bad* Eating and drinking of humans can be seen outside
 

* Trees Breath through leaves. Flowers and fruits are reproductive.
* Tree Takes CO2 and gives O2   

* Humans Breath through lungs. * Human Takes O2 and gives CO2

* Tree's Internal organs are seen outside   

* Human's Egg or ovary are not seen outside

* Trees Cannot see and hear   

* Humans Can see and hear 

* The fire energy is mainly sun    

* It has it's own fire energy
 

* Output is only to give others    

* Talking, walking and doing things are output
   

In olden days people used to sit under the tree for prayers, studies and judgements etc. Since it is a reverse of human, they were getting a complete mental and physical balance with the cosmos under the tree.

Do you want to convert your religion from Hindu?

Please ask the following 5 questions before making the decision.

1. There are 100s of temples where the lunch is being provided in Tamil Nadu. "The best donation is food donation. One who gives food gives life" "Annam Brahmam" is the main statement behind this. Even the private temples who have less money somehow ensure that the lunch is provided to the visitors. Please count the number of churches in Tamil Nadu where the food is being provided?

2. Jesus was born nearly 2000 years ago, if he is the only one to save us then who was the God before him? God was not there then?

3. If you believe in the God's plan. Then were you able to choose your parents? If no, then if the Divine wanted you to live as a Christian, he would have made you to be born in that country and family. Why were you made to be born in India? 

4. The nature was related to Gods by Hinduism and because of the faith and fear people were protecting the nature in India. For example Neem with Goddess, Peepal tree with Ganesha etc. Also all the flower plants were protected in the name of God. But by this conversion of religion, all these methods are being considered foolishness and destroying nature is very easy to do. Are we doing the right thing?

5. They call all the Gods as shaithaan or saathaan. There could be a reason

behind this. Moghals attacked India 1500 to 2000 years back and they destroyed temples and  killed the temple priests continuously for many generations. So the methods of temple worship was completely forgotten by them. They allowed the females to touch the main statue of the temple wherein the Divine could not stay in the temples. The temples were occupied by Brahma Rakshas. But this is not true with all the temples, but in some temples. Just because of this small thing, do you want to miss the ocean of knowledge of India?

One of them is yoga. Breath does not have any religion, caste or creed. Then what's wrong in practicing the breathing techniques?

Eternal and External with confusion

ETERNAL meaning is no beginning and no ending. This is the definition of God.

X - is the unknown

When it is interrupted by the X outside, it becomes EXTERNAL.

i.e. When the mind is inside, connected with the infinity, that is eternal. But when it roams outside, it becomes external.

Confusion - Fusion of the small mind with the supreme consciousness.

Devas and Humans - Time relationship

One year of human life is equal to one day of Devas.

If we further divide, One human month is equal to two hours of devas.

So, 

Tamil month name - Human month = Devas' hours equations -

Thai - January 15th to February 15th = 6 to 8 AM 

Masi - February 15th to March 15th   = 8 to 10 AM

Panguni - March 15th to April 15th     = 10 to 12 AM

Chithirai - April 15th to May 15th       = 12 to 2 PM

Vaikasi - May 15th to June 15th         = 2 to 4 PM

Aani - June 15th to July 15th             = 4 to 6 PM

Aadi -July 15th to August 15th          = 6 to 8 PM

Avani - August 15th to September 15th= 8 to 10 PM

Purattasi - September 15th to October 15th = 10 to 12 PM

Aipasi - October 15th to November 15th = 12 to 2 AM

Karthigai - November 15th to December 15th = 2 to 4 AM

Margazhi - December 15th to January 15th = 4 to 6 AM

Since thai is the early day of devas' there is a statement in Tamil, Thai piranthaal vazhi pirakkum. Even for a difficult problem you will get a way in the month of January to February.

Being the mid day of devas, we also experience summer at the time of Panguni to Vaikasi.(March to June)

Being the sandhya time of devas during Aadi month, we worship mother divine. (June to July)

We get diseases and suffer at the time of midnight of devas. That is from Puratasi to Karthigai (September to December). They would be sleeping and cannot help us.

Being the early morning of devas, in the month of Margazhi people get up early and go around for prayers/Bhajans on all days. (December to January)

So from January to July is called Shukla paksha (Upward movement of sun for devas). 

From July to January os called Krishna Paksha (Downward movement of sun for devas).

So during Krishna Paksha, all festivals come. Because devas supporting energy will be low and to keep ourselves protected, we need to keep worshiping the divine more.

    If certain things are known to the people, they may not get into many unwanted situations in life. Even the people in jails are regretting for their momentary mistakes and effect of their actions. So, all the above mentioned things from our cultural base will definitely make a person as good as possible.

    In life no one is perfect to 100%. But should be able to accept the mistakes and correct oneself, then progress in life.
