GAYATRI MANTRA

Dear SELF, Sanatana Dharma is full of Mantras with power to make us alive, awake and help to lead devotional life and aid us to get the mission of this human birth. I understand there are some rules and regulations for chanting this universal Mantra but my simple logic dictates me anybody who is gifted to talk can chant this most powerful mantra to get the bliss of life.

Let us all listen in English language spoken in a clear understanding way much better than any English speaking soul and you can confirm this only after listening by a divine soul from Bengalore in Karnataka in south India, namely SWAMI SUKHABHODANANDA, many of us might have seen and listened on Aastha International free on TV, channel 894 in UK.

If any of us would like to chant regularly, we can chant at any time without any rituals but with DEVOTION which is important than rituals but we need to do it three times a day wherever we are just before the Sun rise, just before the Sunset and the mid day. As the Sun is not always visible for some, we can do it in the morning between 6.00 AM 6.15 AM, in the evening between 6.00PM 6.15 PM and midday 12.00 noon and some special people also do midnight 12.00! which may not be practical for all.

But the most important thing is WE NEED TO PRACTICE DAILY AT LEAST TWICE IN THE MORNING & EVENING WITH FULL DEVOTION TO GET THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT AND TEACH OUR CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 8 YEARS OF AGE BOTH BOYS & GIRLS AND THEY KEEN KEEP IT GOING ALL THEIR LIFE.

At least let us give an attempt to see how we get on from tomorrow.

With Love, Light & Peace to the whole Creation,

SIGNIFICANCE OF BOTTU OR TILAK

Dear SELF, The most common thing all living creatures share is we all are born from parents, the first woman & man we all originated are The Adi Dampatulu namely PARVATI & PARAMESWARA. So we all belongs to one family namely VASUDHAIKA KUTUMBAM (the whole creation belong to one fueamily.
Out of all all the family members, humans are most advanced with the gift of thinking, speaking and acting (thought, word & deed) We are also gifted no other living organism has namely intellect (buddi), capable of discrimination about the world of duality.

There is another pure conscious which has no birth nor death but immortal, which we really are wittnessing all our thoughts, words and deeds which is the main switch without which we cannot appreciate our faculties of thinking, speaking, acting, seeing, hearing, ready and every thing we are capable of WHICH IS OUR REALLY SELF, namely ATHMA which is nothing but PARAMATHMA, the unknown power that controls every thing that happens in this creation which some times called BRAHMAN.

In other words, all living creatures including we humans have one commonunique feature which is being represented out side by a mark on our fore head commonly called by various names like BOTTU, TILAK, NAMAM etc and each one is free to use that symbol according to one's wish and pleasure.

Only human beings can wear this mark on their forehead irrespective of age, sex, marital status which signifies that we are all equal with this common symbol and should ware this mark on our forehead BUT HOW MANY HUMANS WEAR?

5%, I doubt very much even in Bharat, even in Sanatana Dharma and even among women and have your own guess!

The fundamental duty of all humans when we meet others must look first their forehead to see the mark which represents who we really are namely ATMA, but not any other parts of the body. THAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPORTANCE IN THE OLDEST RELIGION OF THE WORLD, NAMELY SANATANA DHARMA.

With Love, Light & Peace to the whole Creation,
