Spiritual Word-spill

If,I could,at all, at any time get in person with Dan Brown,I would run upto him,give him a hug and thank him for giving me a free pass into Crazyville.For all I know , his books triggered my otherwise dormant crazy ideas and theory of life.
Being an Indian and more specifically an orthodox Tamilian(Tamizhachi), its frustrating not being able to conclude my spiritual status.My spiritual graph is (un)naturally haphazard(say erratic).

I do have a habit of repeatedly writing down God names' ,during my mood swings, more often when am down and scattered.It kind of helps me concentrate and hold myself together, delaying my time of actual emotional breakdown.Most people mistake it for bribing my favorite God into doing a favor.Some others are of the opinion that I lead a so-called flawless life because of my trust in God!

Its true to an extent,I do try and lure Him by bribing but nevertheless He sticks to His principles and gives me what He would eventually give.In short,the bribe is well forgotten!All I do then is pacify myself stating that maybe He is a little held up creating another world in the vast universe.My failure into luring is what got me into thinking.

Who is He?Where does He reside?What makes him,Him and me, well just me??Philosophy is non-sense so let's not ramble on it.Let's talk bigger non-sense,Science :)

Matter is energy in condensed form.The atom,nuclei,proton and whatever,all constitute of Energy.Next time you get a rubble weigh it in your palm and think as to how much Energy you are holding in the condensed form before finally flinging it away.

God and Energy have almost everything in common.You can't see or touch but definitely feel the pulsating effect. So would I be wrong in concluding that God is Energy? The great-great grandfather of the last ancestor you remember might agree to this thought.
Sun(Fire,Agni devta)
Wind(Vayu bhagavan)
Earth(magnetic E)
water(Tidal E)

These are the basic elements of nature that could be set in motion by Energy.Rather than fretting over the invisible,ever-prevalent Energy,our ancestors preferred to acknowledge the sources of Energy and thus were born the innumerable number of Gods.And that is the beauty with which places of worship were born.Maybe these are places whose geographic locations are strategic and attract positive Energy.This is further stimulated by chants(the vibrations),elements,metals that can reverberate this effect.

There's a saying in tamil , "தூணிலுமிருப்பான் துறும்பிலுமிருப்பான்" (read as thoonilum irupan,thurumbilum irupan) .Stating that He dwells in everything.

On further probabation I seemed to realise.What if He is not residing in temples?What if He is not out there guarding His devotees?What if He is not held up with creation of another world?

What if He is within each one of us,dormant and unawakened??!!??

Overwhelming feelings of ego,jealousy,possessiveness,laziness,insecurity and the like,act as barriers to the awakening.

Slay the demon and Cherish the God in you!

THE WORLD ENDS IN 2012???

-Who cares :P

Its annoying that with the release of just a Hollywood flick that picturizes the end of the world everything related to THE END seems to fall into place.There is this fact that the Mayan calender is written only upto 2012 and someone else says even the Chinese calender ends with that fateful year. Coincidently enough I just watched the movie, “KNOWING” .It has Nicholas Cage,running around with a list of numbers that gives the exact date,number of life losses and the exact latitude and longitude of the place wherein a disaster is impending to happen(!). As if that was not enough,the climax shows the end of the world by A SUPERFLARE in our solar system(Maybe global warming is slow poison).


Human mind is complex and completely confusing.On one hand, people are trying to find out about the birth of our solar system. Many theories have been put forward to explain the existence of life on our good old Earth.
On the other hand there are others who predict the END. Are’nt we missing THE SOMETHING inbetween??We are so curious about the birth and death(theres a theory that this is a cycle!) but we are letting the PRESENT slip off our hands.Funny us!


Some of us live in the past.
The childhood memories,how everything seemed simple to do with the knowledge that someone is watching over our shoulder and guiding us. And then the sweet-bitter events of teenage,how our guides suddenly seemed Not-So-Knowledgeable to us (Papa aapko kuch nahin patha hai :-x),how a simple stare from the opposite sex sent us reeling into dreams and the way friends became inevitably important to us.


Some others live in the future. Worried as to how finishing a degree without an arrear(read as finishing atleast amongst top three in a reputed educational institution) was becoming a virtual impossibility,how getting a good paypacket was going to be nasty and clinging on to that job or climbing up higher in the ladder was going to be nastier.


A genius once reckoned, " No man is rich enough to buy his past." Also,worrying about the future is futile. So why bother about the gone and fret over the-yet-to-come?? Ditch all,but the present.


Make your presence felt today.
Smile at all strangers,let loose your hair,do a little jingle,yell at the top of your lungs and call that "primitive music" ,do a pillow fight with your siblings,hug your parents and tell how much you love them,call all your schoolmates and show them that you haven't forgotten any of the past,turn one foe(anyone you haven't gotten well with till now) into a friend and lastly thank God. He has given you yet another beautiful day, believing you would make it beautiful still for someone else.


Present is His gift.Unwrap it the right way.

We are alive now,this moment.Is it not a reason to celebrate!! Why are you still staring into the screen ... Go out and catch up with some fun! :-)
