I recently went to the Karaneeswarar temple in Saidapet, in the inner prakara the idols of the 63 nayanmars were kept and one of the nayanmar read as "Thiruvarur Pirandhar" i was telling my friend any one who is born in Thiruvarur is considered as the nayanmar. Suddenly one person entered and told us that " any one born in Thiruvarur, any one dies in Kasi they will attain mukthi but if a person simply thinks about Thiruvannamalai he is liberated - "Thiruvannmalaiyai Ninaithale Mukthi" and told this and went past. This provoked me to visit Thiruvannamalai we charted the plan within the temple itself and myself along with two of my friends made the plan to visit the very next day. It was a call from Ramana and Arunachaleswara, as I was planning to visit Thiruvannamalai for quite some time and it was not materialised. Ramana once told his mother while she was pursuading ramana to return home "In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose functi

I recently read an article on Anne Frank - a child victim of Hitler's Holocaust who kept on writing her diary during the sufferings. The story of Anne is now deep in my heart. Today is her birthday and let us declare this day as the human right day to lead a dignified life on earth. Please read on to more about Anne....... In June 1999, Time magazine published a special edition titled " Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century ". Anne Frank was selected as one of the "Heroes & Icons", and the writer, Roger Rosenblatt, described her legacy with the comment, "The passions the book ignites suggest that everyone owns Anne Frank, that she has risen above the Holocaust, Judaism, girlhood and even goodness and become a totemic figure of the modern world—the moral individual mind beset by the machinery of destruction, insisting on the right to live and question and hope for the future of human beings." He also notes that while her courage and p

Sri Karaneeswarar Temple - Saidapet I was earlier residing near K.K. Nagar and from there Saidapet is hardly about less than 5 kilo meters. Whenever I used to go our terrace I could able to see one big temple tower. Also I could able to see the Temple tower very near from my current (MTS) office. I used to mention about this to my friend that we should visit this temple once. Last amavasya day I was preparing to perform tarpanam/oblations I opened the paper used to cover the darbai wherein there was an article on Karaneeswarar temple. I made it a point to visit the same day and was able to see the Lord Karaneeswara along with his concert Swarnambikga. I got the seedlings to visit Arunachaleshwara inside this temple. Now let’s know about this temple. Karaneeswarar temple is in the North West of Saidapet Railway station. Here, Sri Karaneeswarar is met in the form of Siva Linga facing east. Swarnambikai is the name of the Goddess. In the month of Chitirai, on the day of Chitirai star, 10t

Last week my wife and kids were returning from Coimbatore to Chennai after the summer vacation. I got up early by 4 am and started towards Central in my car. It was pitch dark in the morning and when I was just crossing the vavin bus stop on the ambattur estate road, I saw a person with a stick in his hand was trying to cross the road. I suddenly realized that the person may be blind and stopped my car and proceeded towards him. He was going front for a few steps and when he hears the sound of any vehicle he is coming back as it was full dark. I went near him and helped him cross the road. He was telling me that he is working in a factory in the Ambattur Industrial Estate and his company vehicle will drop him after one hour but he likes to go home early which is near the Mogappair so as to save time and doesn’t want to sit idle after his shift hours. I told him that since he is working to take care of him and his family not to take risk by starting in the dark from office and told him
