A healthy mind has a healthy Body”. The mental health of the
individual plays a significant role in the well being of a person. WHO
also defines health as ‘physical, mental and social well being.’
During the past two decades interest and research in the field of
mental health and mental disorders have grown rapidly. A recent
study conducted by WHO has predicted that in terms of disease
burden; by the year 2020 (that is in the next seventeen years)
depressive illness will become the no.2 disease in the world
overriding diabetes, cancer, arthritis etc.
Depressive disease is universal and has been prevalent in the
society since time immemorial. Its clinical features were described
in ancient Indian literature by Sudarka, a renowed playwright of the
2nd century B.C.It figured prominently in the sacred writings of
India, its mythological literature, including the twin epics, the
Ramayana and the Mahabharata. In the Mahabharata, Arjun was
afflicted with the illness. He says, “ Mind is very restless, forceful
and strong, O Krishna, Krishana it is more difficult to control the
mind than to wind.”
Mind is the cause for both bondage and liberation. The verse is an
ethmological pun, manu; human is derived from man ‘to think.’
Milkon too rhymed that the mind is in its own place; it may make
heaven of hell or hell of heaven. Mind, which should have been
source of joy ‘ananda’, becomes a source of sorrow ‘dukha’. In
Atharvveda, mind has been called as sixth sense, which is made
active in us by the Supreme Being.
The old civilization of India was a concrete unity of many sided
development in arts, architecture, literature, religion and morals
and sciences as far as it was understood in those days. But the
important achievement of Indian thought was philosophy. It was
regarded as the goal of all highest practical and theoretical activities
and indicted the point of unity amidst apparent diversities.
Hinduism is a major religion of India, which has at its heart a kind
of ethical mysticism, based on their sarced scriptures. At its heart is
a love of life in all its forms. It believes that one’s actions in this life
will generate Karma or consequences in the next life. Reincarnation
(on the wheel of life, Samsara) may be at a higher level or not,
depending on ones current actions. It accepts body and soul as a
equal partners in life and the use of both in religious life. When
Hindus meet they greet God as present in other person. Many
Hindus believe that religious practice involves the awakening of the
‘chakras’ or energy centers of the body, in order to let divine energy
flow into the body freely. This perception is included in the eastern
and western ideas of energy bodies or ‘auras’, which surround the
physical body.
Concept Of Mind In Vedas (10,000 TO 5000 BC)
Mind has been conceived to be a functional element of ATMAN (soul
which is self) in Vedas, which are earliest written script of human
race. In Rigveda and Yajurveda there is mention of prayer through
mantras for noble thoughts to come in the mind. It has been
mentioned that thoughts determine facial appearance, thoughts
influence facial appearance, and thoughts can be purified through
mantras and purified thoughts influence instincts. In Veda there is
emphasis on prevention of mental pain (depression).
In Rigveda, the speed of mind, curiosity for methods of mental
happiness, prayers for mental happiness and methods of increasing
medha (intelligence) have been described. It has been further
stated in Rigveda that purification of mind prevents diseases in
human beings there fore one should have noble thoughts. The
power of mind in healing has also been described. First time the
three traits of personality-sattva, Rajas and Tamas were described
and also mental illnesses were independently identified along with
physical illnesses where it has been prayed that may these mental
illnesses not destroy this body.
In Yajurveda the mind has been conceptualized as the inner flame
of knowledge. It describes perceiving knowledge is mind, mind is
described as yog and Samadhi (state of mind), all our sensory
organs are under control of mind and they function under the
control of mind.
According to Bhagvad Gita the senses and the objects constantly blast the mind. Here it is said that the self is like the lord of the chariot and the body is his chariot. The intellect is the charioteer and the mind the reins. The senses they say are the horses; the
objects of the senses are the roads. The senses (horses) are to be
controlled by the buddhi (the charioteer) through the reins, the
mind. The mind restrained or unrestrained by the buddhi leads to
the region of vivid joy or the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara)
respectively.
The mind of man is like a veritable battle field:’manahkshetra’ in
which there is an endless state of war between opposing forces.
This constant tussle within the mind is called “psychomacia” by the
ancient Greeks.
The Ayurvedic Era (1500-1400 BC)
Ayurveda derives its roots from Athervaveda and it is one of the
ancient science, which means science of life. The classic written
documents are Charak Samhita and Shushrut Samhita. These two
describe mental disorders, personality types according to trigunas-
the satva,raj and tam and tridoshas-the three humours in the body
vat,pitta,kapha. The 14 causative factors are mentioned for mental
disorders as follows-
1.
Pragyaparadh- involving in socially unsanctioned behavior and
involving in actions arising out of envy, pride, fear, anger, greed,
attraction, proud and deluded thinking.
2.
Anuchit bramhacharya-One who is out following the rules of
brahmacharya, which includes Indriya Nigrah ie, control over
demands of instincts. Due to this when the person carries out
activities to gratify his instinctual needs his conseus is not able to
control his mind, becomes conflict ridden which leads to mental
disorders like Depression.
3.
Durbal satva- People who have weak satva characteristics
have increase raj and tam characteristics, which leads to emotions
like anger, and uncontrolled emotions, which leads to mental
disorders.
4.
Durbal Sharir- Nutritional deficiencies leading to weak
physical structure can lead to mental disorders
5.
Sharir dosh vikriti- According to Sushrut and Charak, increase in one of the three humours of body either vat, pitta or kapha leads to mental disturbances like insomnia, anger, fear etc
6.
Manas dosh- (psychological factors) different detrimental
emotions arise out of disorder of raj and tam.
7.
Agantuk karan- outside factors affecting the body like
bacterias, evil spirits.
8.
Manobhighat kardravya- Trauma to mind because of
substance abuse.
9.
Malinahar vihar- Bad food and bad life style both lead to
mental illness.
10. Manoabhighat- Trauma to mind because of stress.
11. Ashasht manah- Conflicts arising in the mind.
12. Ojokshaya- Loss of confidence leads to weakness of mind,
depression.
13. Ayukta nidra- Excessive and inappropriate time sleep leads to
mental illness.
14. Chintya man- inappropriate anxiety.
According to Vedanta treatise the structure of man can be further
divided into five material layers enveloping Atman. Atman is the
core of personality. It is represented in the diagram by the mystic
symbol . The five concentric circles around the symbol represent
the five layers of matter. They are called sheaths or koshas in
Sanskrit. First Anna-maya kosh, the gross human body is made up
of the panchmahabhutas-the five primordial elements i.e.
Akash(vaccum), Vayu(air), Agni(fire), Jal(water) and prithvi(earth).
It is directly under control of the next subtler body, the pranmaya
kosh that consists of the vital energy.
The next three koshas, Manomaya, Vigyanmaya and Anandmaya
pertain to the mental faculties of a person. The Manomaya kosh
receives all the sensory inputs, interpretes them as good or bad and
desires the good. The feeling of ‘me’ and ‘mine’ and the faculty of
intelligence and reasoning constitute the fourth or Vigyanmaya
kosh. The fifth or the Anandmaya kosh means full of pleasure is the
innermost kosh in close proximity of the soul.
When one considers the symptoms of Depression, religious flavour
is evident in the ideas of guilt and sin and their expiation by a
suicide act. Even lethargy and laziness is considered as a sign and
symbol of devils and demons. In India ,Psychiatrist and Psychologist
use religion as a psychotherapy. It performs certain function as
answering question about ultimate meaning; it gives emotional
support, social cohesion sense of belonging and guidelines for life. A
steady state of mind and sustenance of peace have been the aims
of all philosophies.
Gita states “ Let a man raise by himself by his own self, let him not
debase himself. For he is himself his friend, himself his foe.” One’s
own mind has a preventive and a curative function. Healthy habits
of attitude, thoughts, dispositions and feeling can offer equilibrium.
It brings out the fact of enormous resources that are available
within for healing. This has been termed “Anjeneya complex” which
is explored in psychotherapy.
Since India has been the nursery of saints and sages, scientists and
founders of world’s major religions certain yogic and religious
practices helps to attain steady state of mind. Maharshi Patanjali,
the father of modern concept of yoga and a great physician himself
defined yoga as the complete mastery of mind and emotions. It is a
science, which shows us the way to unite the body and mind. The
only form of yoga, which has been studied scientifically, is
Transcendental meditation, a special meditation technique as taught
by Maharshi Mahesh Yogi. He claims that after regular periods of
meditation for even a few months, the individual becomes more
resilient to the stresses of life, works with increased efficiency and
is less likely to be dependent on alcohol or drugs.
Vedic therapy emphasize upon satvic diet, as diet produces great
effect on man’s temperament. Non-vegetarian food makes man
lustful, revengeful, and furious; while vegetarian diet makes him
kind, cool, soft. Also Vedas enjoin on man to leave lethargy and
lead life of actions.
Certain Hindu rituals like Bhajans, Kirtans, chanting mantras called
Namapathy by Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh help in eliminating
repressions and resistances and bring into the field of waking
consciousness many drives, emotions and complexes that were
creating difficulties in the unconscious. It helps to achieve a state of
deep relaxation. Similarly there are certain Hindu festivals and
ceremonies associated not only with Gods and Goddesses but also
with the sun, moon, planets, rivers, oceans, trees and animals.
Some of the popular Hindu festivals are Deepawali, Holi, Dussehra,
Ganesh Chaturthi, which allows people to share their joy and
sorrows and helps to elevate mood.
These innumerable festive occasions and religious practices make
the Indian tradition rich and colorful. It gives us the powers,
tolerence, adaptability, courage, co-operation, patience and
humility, which help to restore holistic health, harmony and
happiness in our life and society today.

Why we Need to Chant Vedas....
Veda literally means knowledge. This knowledge is without beginning.
They are the vibrations created out of the breath of the Supreme.
Through the Vedas the Supreme is to be known.Brahma created the
worlds with the aid of the knowledgeof the Veda mantras which existed
as vibrations / sound in space. The sages / rishis became aware of these
vibrations when in close communion with the Supreme in periods of
ecstasy / trance, so much so, that they burst into spontaneous
expressions of truth seen through the Soul's eye and gave the world the
Veda mantras / hymns.
The Vedas are called "Sruthi" or that which is heard. Without being
recorded in writing, the Vedas have been passed from generation to
generation in the ancient method of learning by the ear in Guru-Sishya
( Master-Disciple ) tradition. One reason for not learning entirely from
written text was that some sounds do not lend themselves to be
accurately reproduced phonetically. They fall in between two syllables
and there are many such sounds in the Vedas. These can be trasmitted
only orally.
In addition the Veda mantras have to be recited in a certain cadence or
rhythm to produce the necessary vibration and to have the desired
effect of elevation of the Soul to spiritual heights and experience the
Supreme. The essence of the Vedas is thus to provide knowledge to the
Soul to enable it to evolve to a state of communion with the Supreme.
These universal truths were initially propounded in the form of Rcks and
compiled as the Rig Veda.
Age of the Vedas
The picture is an enlarged fraction of an image called the Hubble Deep
Field which was assembled from actual photos taken late 1995 by the
aid of the Hubble Space Telescope. The smaller lightobjects are galaxies
or galaxy clusters close to what astronomers believe to be the very edge
of the universe 10-20 billion lightyears away. The Hubble Deep Field
represents at the time mankind's deepest optical view of the
universe.Light recieved from an object 10 billion lightyears away has
been moving through space for 10 billion years. This means that parts of
the Hubble Deep Field image are created by the telescope apparatus
being hit by photons emitted at elementary processes that took place
10-20 billion years ago.
Vedic Mantras are from the beginning of
Time--prior to Big Bang !!!
Sounds as vibrations have come down
unchanged from origin of creation
Rig Veda
In the Rig Veda , the universal truths propounded explain the universal
order of life in three planes
* Internal ( to the Soul )
* External ( to the body in terms of Dharma or worldly life )
* Spiritual ( in terms of the cosmos )
The universal order of life in these three planes is then linked to the
Supreme encompassing the three planes. Thus all terms / names
mentioned such as Indra, Agni, Vayu etc. have exoteric and esoteric
significance in each of the three planes as understood by the individual
Soul depending on the spiritual evolution of the Soul.
Sama Veda
The Sama Veda consists of hymns ( many of them common with the Rig
Veda ) which when sung in the appropriate manner will strike a chord in
enabling one to understand the universal truths and order of life
depending on their stage of spiritual evolution.
The source of the musical patterns of the Sama Veda hymns is derived
from the vibration / sounds of the cosmos. This reveals that spiritual
evolution can be achieved through music.
( by hearing as well as
singing )
Yajur Veda
The Yajur Veda consists of hymns from the Rig Veda along with other
hymns which when recited in the performance of a yajna / havan will
enable the Soul or the beneficiaries to understand the universal truths
of the Veda in any or all of the three planes of its meanings depending
on the individual's stage of spiritual evolution. Though the Yajur Veda is
associated with performance of Yajna for worldly gains, it is understood
that the individual beneficiaries will ultimately evolve spiritually and
subsequently undertake these Yajnas for the spiritual and material
benifits of mankind as a whole. The Yajur Veda has two distinct schools
of presentation and following as explained below
The Shukla Yajur Veda
This Veda is followed in theNorthern parts of India and has mantras in
the form of the Veda and Brahmanas ( explanatory notes to the
mantras ) presented in the Satapatha Brahmana. The Shukla Yajur Veda
is said to have been taught by the "Sun" to sage Yajnavalkya and hence
the name "Shukla" or "White" Yajur Veda.
The Krishna Yajur Veda
This is followed in the Southern parts of India and has Veda mantras and
Brahmanas intermixed - that is, the Brahmanas follow the mantras as
explanatory notes in the Veda text itself. Since Shukla Yajur Veda is
known as "White", this Yajur Veda has been denoted as "Krishna" or
"Black" Yajur Veda.
Both the versions are accepted as authentic and both schools are
practised widely.
Atharva Veda
The Atharva Veda, when understood in the external plane, is generally known to contain hymns common to the Rig Veda including others for the sole purpose of performing "Magic" or to communicate with ghosts
and spirits or for curing ailments. However, when viewed in the spiritual plane, the Atharva Veda expounds universal truths of the oneness of the universe, the way to live in communion with the world of evolved souls, to pray for a healthy life and finally to merge with the Supreme.
Essence of the Vedas
All the Vedas provide the same knowledge to experience the Supreme
through different paths.
The Rig Vedi would approach this goal through prayer and intellectual
pursuits.
The Sama Vedi through musical renderings of the hymns
The Yajur Vedi through Yajna and invocation of Agni to carry the
message of the hymns to the Supreme.
The Atharva Vedi through tantra or other rituals.
The Vedas propound and accept all forms of religious practice in the
pursuit of understanding and merging with the Supreme. Hence it is
highly secularand tolerant in its teachings by ultimately preaching
"May Happiness and Peace come to One and All irrespective of Faith , Creed , Colour and Social order of the Society including Beings of other forms of evolution"
And Finally

inner meaning of slokas
Sloka means verse. Prayers are in the form of verses to make them musical and also to be set to a
standard. Prarthana Sloka is therefore Prayer Verse.
These verses are generally directed towards a God or Goddess. The person who chants these powerful verses invokes the respective God or Goddess referred to in the verse. By doing with absolute faith and concentration, the person concerned will be able to achieve a steady and peaceful mind full of devotion.
Prarthana Sloka is a combination of two Sanskrit words. Prarth is the root of a verb which means "to
beg". Prarthana is the noun formation from this root generally meaning "making prayer" Prayers which
include a request are Prarthanas.
Prarthana can also be made in the form of sentences. The Ashtothara satha Namani meaning One
hundred and eight names is Prarthana in prose (sentences). Every God or Goddess has separate
Ashtothara satha Namani. There are even Thrisathi Namani (300 names) and also Ashtothara Sahasra
Namani (1008 names). Instead of chanting Prarthana Slokas one can recite Ashtothara Namani and
make prayers. But what is most important is absolute faith and concentration. If one can understand the
real meaning of the prayers, it will facilitate concentration.
Sthotras are also verses of prayers. The word Sthotra comes from the verb Sthut. It means "to praise".
Very similar to Ashtotra satha Namani etc. Sthotras also are for a particular God or Goddess. Sthotras are
directed to a God or Goddess like a stream that flows towards a destination. Sthotra is a hymn or
composition in praise of a God or Goddess. By chanting the Sthotras, the mind of the person is carried
away towards the form of the God or Goddess in an attempt to visualize same.
Prarthana Slokas have a request to God. Sthothra Slokas are mostly making a description of God. They
simply say I salute the God who is described as having certain forms etc.
Vedic Verses are more powerful than Prarthanas or Sthothras. Vedic Verses have to be chanted
according to specified rules of raising or lowering the voice. It is intended to cause certain vibrations
which (if correctly recited) could physically produce results. Vedas are taught from Guru (Teacher) to
Manava (student) orally. The Manava later with accomplishment of wisdom becomes a Guru and teaches
Vedas to his Manavas. Vedas cannot be learnt simply by reading from books, without directives from a
Guru.

Vighna Nivaraka Chaturthi....Ganesh Festival
All our festivals have great significance each, in its own dimension and
parameter, only for the well being of the society. They constantly remind us the
glory of our great culture and inspire us to live in Peace and Harmony with the
Nature and also with the Natural Forces. On the 4th day (chathurtthi) of the
waxing moon in the month of Bhadrapadam (usually during september) Ganesa Puja
is performed in almost all the parts of Bharath. People join together and
celebrate this auspicious occasion with family members, relatives and friends.
People worship Him for success in their endeavour and for removing all the
obstacles. Basically, every day has a unique importance according to Vedic
Scriptures; as most of the westerners observe fathers day on a particular date,
mother's day on another date so on. When a seeker needs success in his efforts and
wants to get rid of the obstacles the fourth day of the Bhadrapada month paves the
way says the scriptures. So God Supreme is worshipped on that day, to have the
ability to solve the problems and get enriched in strength. That is why this day
is called Vighna Nivarana Chathurtthi. As many people worship Ganapathi on that
day, they started naming it Ganesh Chathurtthi.
Battallions are called Gana:s. Ruler of these Gana:s is called Ganesa or
Ganapathi. Gajanana means the one who has elephant face.
People worship God in different forms like that of Vishnu, Siva etc. Worshippers
of Lord Vishnu worship Sri Vishwakse:na who is the Ganesa or Gana Nayaka (or
Ganapathi ), the commander-in-chief of Lord Vishnu's battallions called Kumuda
Ganas. Gananayaka is one of the names of Vishwaksena. The name Vishnu in the
famous sloka below, is also one of the names of Vishwaksena only.
suklambaradharam vishnum sasi varnam chathurbhujam
prasanna vadanam dhyayeth sarva vighnopasanthaye: ||
It is said in our scriptures that, under the command of Vishwaksena there are
hundreds of elephant headed commanders having two tusks. The sloka
yasya dwirada vakthradyah parishadyah parassatham
vighnam nighnanthi sathatham vishwaksenam tham asraye: ||
reveals this fact. These Gajanana:s keep themselves always alert in removing the
obstacles.
Who ever worship the form of Lord Siva, they approach Him through Lord Siva's
machinery. Vina:yaka is the one who interceded with Lord Siva's devotees. So on
this day, devotees of Lord Siva worship his son Vina:yaka (one with elephant face
and one tusk) who is Ganesa (or Ganesh or Ganapathi), the leader of Lord Siva's
(Pramadha) Ganas.
Some people might argue that on this day it is only Vinayaka, the son of
Parvathi has to be worshipped and he is the only one who is the remover of all
the obstacles for every one. It is obvious from the above sloka:s that this
notion has to be corrected.
After doing Ganapathi Puja in the form of Vinayaka or Vishwaksena, the common
practice that every body does is listening to the story of Lord Krishna in
relation to Syamanthaka Mani ( a big unique jewel) which is mentioned in the 55th
chapter of 10th canto in Srimad Bhagavatham.
Thus, it is clear about whom to worship and celebrate this festival.
People say that one should not see Moon on this day and if they happen to see him
without doing Vinayaka Puja, even by accident, then, they have to face many
false allegations/accusations. Some people didn't know or didn't understand why
this Krishna's story has to be remembered here. So, they started relating that
Krishna accidentally saw Moon in his milk on this day and hence he has to face the
false allegation / accusation that he stole the Syamanthaka Mani. But, there is NO
evidence or any mention of such an event relation in any Purana:s or in our
original scriptures. This story has nothing to do with Ganesh Puja. Ganesh Puja is
celebrated to pray for the removal of obstacles to one's endeavour. Then, WHY
remembering this story is recommended as a tradition on this day, is the
question ?
The blame or accusation may be of any magnitude and may it be on any person, if it
is a false accusation then the person should not give up or weep for that and
succumb to the allegation or lose heart in noble pursuit. One should then pool up
the courage and remain with bold heart, go ahead with the solutions, which
ultimately lead that person to success. "sathyameva jayathe:" - Ultimately only
Truth Wins. This is what Lord Krishna's story of Syamanthaka Mani reveals us. To
emphasize this fact and make people face the obstacles boldly whence, the remover
of obstacles does the job, this story is to be remembered on this occasion of
praying the remover of obstacles.
This story also reveals that, obstacles may arise even to great persons, how
anyone with a bold heart and strong will can face the problems and solve them. At
the end it says no one need to run away from the problems. All that we need to do
is to pursue with perseverence, be hooked to God in the heart and go ahead with
the solutions resolving the problems.
When we worship a form, we ought to respect all its rules and subjects. Though
there are so many forms of God, You worship one that you were blessed with,
respecting all the rules and its subjects. Thus, worship Him the Supreme, through
that form with pure devotion.
Do you know, according to our scriptures there are so many Gajanana:s. Let us
know the three popular forms of Gajanana:s.
1) Vinayaka, Son of Parvathi, the consort of Lord Siva is a Gajanana(elephant
faced one). He was created by Parvathi with the bathing paste. That Vinayaka was
later appointed as the commander of all the battallions of Lord Siva. He is having
only one tusk, holding the second one in the hand. So he is also called " Eka
dantha ".
2) There are so many elephant headed and horse headed commanders under the command
of Vishwaksena who is the supreme controller of Paramapadam, the divine abode of
Lord Vishnu. They all have Urdhwa Pundram(vertical mark). All these elephant
headed commanders, it is said are having two tusks. There are several hundreds of
such Gajanana:s always alert in removing the hurdles.
3) According to Mandukyopanishad, the worship of Lakshmi: Ganapathi is
recommended daily, where this Gajanana is none else than Lord Vishnu Himself. In
this form there will be 19 faces of which the main face is that of an elephant.
Many details were given in the Upanishad. We human beings be in any one of the
three stages viz., awakened, dreaming and deep sleep. A particular form of Lord
Vishnu controls each stage. Realised souls worship that particular form for Siddhi
during those stages. For the awakened state it is said that Lord Vishnu has to be
worshipped in the form of Gajanana ie., with elephant head, along with goddess
Lakshmi and that form is Lakshmi Ganapathi as recommended by the Upanishad. In
this form, Lord Vishnu will have Urdhwa Pundram (vertical mark on his head)
Sankham (divine conch), Chakram (divine discus) and other ornaments decorated in
his hands.
On this Bhadrapad Sukla Chathurtthi day people worship Gajanana with fresh
lotuses, honeyed fragrant flowers, greeny shoots and leafy stems of various
medicinal plants and trees brought from pure forest shrubs. They use Maize
candles, sugarcane, banyans, unhybrid & natural sweet juicy fruits etc., to
worship God.
The function in a nut shell enlightens us that we shouldn't disrespect or ill
treat animals, plants and trees. We should also worship them with an attitude
realising that they are also different forms put in His service.
We offer our Mangalasasanams to you all on this auspicious occasion for
worshipping Gajanana with heartful devotion and thus always be in His wonderful
service without obstacles of any sort..
Speaking on the significance of Viswaksena's worship on BhAdrapada sukla Ekadasi, HH Sri Tridandi Jeear Swamy discussed the importand of the Commander in Chief of Periya Perumal in our sampradAyam, and how he is one of four dEvathas
who have the power of removing obstacles. While popular Hinduism sees these obstacles as those obstructing good education and material success,
Sri Jeear Swamy pointed out that for a SriVaishnava the obstacles that must be dispelled are those that stand in the way of doing nityakainkaryam to SrimanNarayana.
The most popular and well known of the Ganapatis is Vinayaka, recognized by his gaja mukham (elephant head), which is adorned with Vibhuti(sacred ash), and Ekadantham (one tusk).This is the popular god of Hinduism that was brought to life in a clay doll by Parvathi, and then was beheaded and restored to life as the
lovable elephant headed Deity by Siva. This Ganesha is the Deity that is worshipped by Saivas on the Vinayaka Chaturthi Day. The Remover of Obstacles worshipped by
SriVaishnavas is Viswaksenar (sEnai mudiliyAr),the Commander in Chief of Perumal's Military Forces who is also recognized as an AchAryan in our paramparai. He is the one whom we should directly beseech to remove all obstacles that stand in the way of our kainkaryam to the Lord.It is said that while the Lord is enjoying the
company of ThayAr in the lovely gardens surrounding paramapadam, Sri Viswaksenar is
guarding the Divine Couple and is also taking care of all of the matters of state for them, in a mood akin to Lakshmana. Sri Viswaksenar's nature is such that He survives solely on the sEsham of emperumAn Alone. His form is similar to the Lord's, but he has been seen taking on a elephant headed form, as well. In this form, however, Sri Viswaksenar, contrary to his saiva counterpart, has two tusks (dviradAs) and dons Thiruman on his forehead.
Before describing the third "Ganesha," HH touched on a rather mysterious fourth, Sri Prasna, who is described in pAncharAthra Agamam. He is said to have emerged out of a great yAgam to Perumal that was being performed by Indran.
The Third Remover of Obstacles is the Most Powerful of All - and really is the only One that we need - having 19 heads, each adorned with Urdhvapundram, and 4 arms. MAndukya Upanishad goes into great detail on describing this 4th and only
true Remover of Obstacles as being Sriman Narayana Himself. Perumal Himself as the Protector and Benefactor of each and every soul, removes the obstacles that stand between Him and His Devotees. This avathAran of the Lord is always seen standing with ThAyAr as Sri LakshmiGanapathi. Sri HH touched upon how the ignorance of the masses has led to a severe misrepresenation of this Avatharan, and how we
should not let this sway us from our recognition that Sri LakshmiGanapathi is Sriman Narayana Himself.
Sri HH went on to analogize how the three Ganeshas (other than Sri Prasna) are each a controller of one of three states of an individual's consciousness, jAgrath dasa, swapna dasa, and shusupthi dasa. In the first state, the waking
state, we are responsibile for the performance of karmas, the adherence to proper conduct, and the fulfilment of both material and spiritual pursuits. Consequently, it is this stage that is most important to the path of the spiritual
aspirant. While the other two Ganapathis protect us in the other two stages under the direction of the Lord, the Lord Himself as Sri LakshmiGanapathi
protects and helps us in each and every aspect of our waking state, whether or not a jivan knows His presence or not.

parameter, only for the well being of the society. They constantly remind us the
glory of our great culture and inspire us to live in Peace and Harmony with the
Nature and also with the Natural Forces. On the 4th day (chathurtthi) of the
waxing moon in the month of Bhadrapadam (usually during september) Ganesa Puja
is performed in almost all the parts of Bharath. People join together and
celebrate this auspicious occasion with family members, relatives and friends.
People worship Him for success in their endeavour and for removing all the
obstacles. Basically, every day has a unique importance according to Vedic
Scriptures; as most of the westerners observe fathers day on a particular date,
mother's day on another date so on. When a seeker needs success in his efforts and
wants to get rid of the obstacles the fourth day of the Bhadrapada month paves the
way says the scriptures. So God Supreme is worshipped on that day, to have the
ability to solve the problems and get enriched in strength. That is why this day
is called Vighna Nivarana Chathurtthi. As many people worship Ganapathi on that
day, they started naming it Ganesh Chathurtthi.
Battallions are called Gana:s. Ruler of these Gana:s is called Ganesa or
Ganapathi. Gajanana means the one who has elephant face.
People worship God in different forms like that of Vishnu, Siva etc. Worshippers
of Lord Vishnu worship Sri Vishwakse:na who is the Ganesa or Gana Nayaka (or
Ganapathi ), the commander-in-chief of Lord Vishnu's battallions called Kumuda
Ganas. Gananayaka is one of the names of Vishwaksena. The name Vishnu in the
famous sloka below, is also one of the names of Vishwaksena only.
suklambaradharam vishnum sasi varnam chathurbhujam
prasanna vadanam dhyayeth sarva vighnopasanthaye: ||
It is said in our scriptures that, under the command of Vishwaksena there are
hundreds of elephant headed commanders having two tusks. The sloka
yasya dwirada vakthradyah parishadyah parassatham
vighnam nighnanthi sathatham vishwaksenam tham asraye: ||
reveals this fact. These Gajanana:s keep themselves always alert in removing the
obstacles.
Who ever worship the form of Lord Siva, they approach Him through Lord Siva's
machinery. Vina:yaka is the one who interceded with Lord Siva's devotees. So on
this day, devotees of Lord Siva worship his son Vina:yaka (one with elephant face
and one tusk) who is Ganesa (or Ganesh or Ganapathi), the leader of Lord Siva's
(Pramadha) Ganas.
Some people might argue that on this day it is only Vinayaka, the son of
Parvathi has to be worshipped and he is the only one who is the remover of all
the obstacles for every one. It is obvious from the above sloka:s that this
notion has to be corrected.
After doing Ganapathi Puja in the form of Vinayaka or Vishwaksena, the common
practice that every body does is listening to the story of Lord Krishna in
relation to Syamanthaka Mani ( a big unique jewel) which is mentioned in the 55th
chapter of 10th canto in Srimad Bhagavatham.
Thus, it is clear about whom to worship and celebrate this festival.
People say that one should not see Moon on this day and if they happen to see him
without doing Vinayaka Puja, even by accident, then, they have to face many
false allegations/accusations. Some people didn't know or didn't understand why
this Krishna's story has to be remembered here. So, they started relating that
Krishna accidentally saw Moon in his milk on this day and hence he has to face the
false allegation / accusation that he stole the Syamanthaka Mani. But, there is NO
evidence or any mention of such an event relation in any Purana:s or in our
original scriptures. This story has nothing to do with Ganesh Puja. Ganesh Puja is
celebrated to pray for the removal of obstacles to one's endeavour. Then, WHY
remembering this story is recommended as a tradition on this day, is the
question ?
The blame or accusation may be of any magnitude and may it be on any person, if it
is a false accusation then the person should not give up or weep for that and
succumb to the allegation or lose heart in noble pursuit. One should then pool up
the courage and remain with bold heart, go ahead with the solutions, which
ultimately lead that person to success. "sathyameva jayathe:" - Ultimately only
Truth Wins. This is what Lord Krishna's story of Syamanthaka Mani reveals us. To
emphasize this fact and make people face the obstacles boldly whence, the remover
of obstacles does the job, this story is to be remembered on this occasion of
praying the remover of obstacles.
This story also reveals that, obstacles may arise even to great persons, how
anyone with a bold heart and strong will can face the problems and solve them. At
the end it says no one need to run away from the problems. All that we need to do
is to pursue with perseverence, be hooked to God in the heart and go ahead with
the solutions resolving the problems.
When we worship a form, we ought to respect all its rules and subjects. Though
there are so many forms of God, You worship one that you were blessed with,
respecting all the rules and its subjects. Thus, worship Him the Supreme, through
that form with pure devotion.
Do you know, according to our scriptures there are so many Gajanana:s. Let us
know the three popular forms of Gajanana:s.
1) Vinayaka, Son of Parvathi, the consort of Lord Siva is a Gajanana(elephant
faced one). He was created by Parvathi with the bathing paste. That Vinayaka was
later appointed as the commander of all the battallions of Lord Siva. He is having
only one tusk, holding the second one in the hand. So he is also called " Eka
dantha ".
2) There are so many elephant headed and horse headed commanders under the command
of Vishwaksena who is the supreme controller of Paramapadam, the divine abode of
Lord Vishnu. They all have Urdhwa Pundram(vertical mark). All these elephant
headed commanders, it is said are having two tusks. There are several hundreds of
such Gajanana:s always alert in removing the hurdles.
3) According to Mandukyopanishad, the worship of Lakshmi: Ganapathi is
recommended daily, where this Gajanana is none else than Lord Vishnu Himself. In
this form there will be 19 faces of which the main face is that of an elephant.
Many details were given in the Upanishad. We human beings be in any one of the
three stages viz., awakened, dreaming and deep sleep. A particular form of Lord
Vishnu controls each stage. Realised souls worship that particular form for Siddhi
during those stages. For the awakened state it is said that Lord Vishnu has to be
worshipped in the form of Gajanana ie., with elephant head, along with goddess
Lakshmi and that form is Lakshmi Ganapathi as recommended by the Upanishad. In
this form, Lord Vishnu will have Urdhwa Pundram (vertical mark on his head)
Sankham (divine conch), Chakram (divine discus) and other ornaments decorated in
his hands.
On this Bhadrapad Sukla Chathurtthi day people worship Gajanana with fresh
lotuses, honeyed fragrant flowers, greeny shoots and leafy stems of various
medicinal plants and trees brought from pure forest shrubs. They use Maize
candles, sugarcane, banyans, unhybrid & natural sweet juicy fruits etc., to
worship God.
The function in a nut shell enlightens us that we shouldn't disrespect or ill
treat animals, plants and trees. We should also worship them with an attitude
realising that they are also different forms put in His service.
We offer our Mangalasasanams to you all on this auspicious occasion for
worshipping Gajanana with heartful devotion and thus always be in His wonderful
service without obstacles of any sort..

Between Father n Daughter:..........!!!Trust Me
Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter
Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into
the river.'
The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'
'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.
'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.
'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.'
In any relationship, the essence of trust is
not in its bind,
but in its bond.
So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than
expecting them to hold yours...
This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.

Unconditional Love - motivating......
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home
after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from
San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I
have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "he
was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land
mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go,
and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find
somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking.
Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on
us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something
like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come
home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his
own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard
nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they
received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had
died after falling from a building, they were told. The police
believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San
Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the
body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror
they also discovered something they didn't know, their son
had only one arm and one leg.
The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy
to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around,
but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us
feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people
who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.
Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way.
Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how
messed up we are.........

Life IS For A Cause...!!!
young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's
showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his
graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him
how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man
opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to
his father and said "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. And as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss Spirit's blessings and answers to our prayers because they do not arrive exactly as we have expected?
TODAY'S's affirmation: "Today I look beyond the obvious and allow miracles to be created in my life."

The Making Of a Mother
By the time the Lord made mothers, He was into the sixth day working overtime. An Angel appeared and said "Why are you spending
so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered and said, "Have you read the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not elastic; have 200 movable parts, all replaceable; run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap that can hold three children at one time and that disappears when she stands up; have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart; and have six pairs of
hands."
The Angel was astounded at the requirements for this one. "Six pairs of hands! No way!" said the Angel.
The Lord replied, "Oh, it's not the hands that are the problem. It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have!"
"And that's on the standard model?" the Angel asked.
The Lord nodded in agreement, "Yep, one pair of eyes are to see through the closed door as she asks her children what they are
doing even though she already knows. Another pair in the back of her head are to see what she needs to know even though no one
thinks she can. And the third pair are here in the front of her head. They are for looking at an errant child and saying that she
understands and loves him or her without even saying a single word."
The Angel tried to stop the Lord "This is too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."
"But I can't!" The Lord protested, "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself
when she is sick AND can feed a family of six on a pound of hamburger and can get a nine year old to stand in the shower."
The Angel moved closer and touched the woman, "But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?" asked the Angel.
The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason, and negotiate."
The Angel then noticed something and reached out and touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like You have a leak with this
model. I told You that You were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak." the Lord objected. "That's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the Angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her disappointment, her pain, her loneliness, her grief, and her
pride."
The Angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything for this one. You even created the tear!"
The Lord looked at the Angel and smiled and said, "I'm afraid you are wrong again. I created the woman, but she created the tear..!!!

Alexander Fleming...Penicillin
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son
came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you
can be proud of."
And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son
came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you
can be proud of."
And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become
known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the nobleman's son was
stricken with pneumonia. What saved him? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir

Value Of Love...
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including
Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat.
Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder.
So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went
her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.............!!!

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND, AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE..!!!TRUST ME
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one
friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY
MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the
mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After the friend recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a
stone, why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.
But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.

Things Are Not Always What They Seem...!!!
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their
hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest.
I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with
intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest
tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my
branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I
will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of
woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks
like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter" ...
and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the
carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, I should be
able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was
on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he
knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen
said, "I don't need anything special from my tree so I'll take this one", and he
cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for
animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all
what he had prayed for. The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing
boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The
third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. The years went
by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the
baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished
that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The
tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the
greatest treasure of all time. Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat
made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they
were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong
enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said
"Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the
King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets
as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the
man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When
Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the
top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been
crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way
always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best..!!!
