Thank God

LOVE.
The magical four letter word. Love has no boundaries. It can be towards anyone. Mother, Father, Teacher, Brother, Sister, Friend, husband, wife, animals, plants, etc. Any relation is born out of love. Any love would drive to achieve something. Love acts the instrument to success.

There is one more love. Love to god. This is said to be possible only when the god wishes - Call it Insha allah or Avan arulalae avan thaal vanangi. But this love is of true bliss as the god himself wishes. This is called Bakthi.

Srimad bhagavata and the vishnu purana says there are 9 types of bakthi.
1. sravana - hearing god's glories
2. kirthana - singing his glories
3. smarana - Remembrance of lord
4. padasevana - serving the lord's feet
5. archana - worship of lord through image or picture or mental form
6. vandana - prayer and prostration
7. dasya - love of god through servant sentiment
8. sakhya - cultivation of friend sentiment with god
9. atma-nivedana - self surrender
One can practice any mode of bakthi that suits him or her the best.
We always expect reward if we do something. Love is no exception. The unconditional mode of love is not easy to achieve except for mother to her child.

So what we get by worshiping the omnipresent, omnipotent almighty?

Sastras say he bestows us with aram, porul, inbam, veedu. ie.dharma, arta, kama, moksha.

How to believe in something that we haven't seen with our eyes?

There are umpteen number of souls who experienced almighty's grace.
One such blessed soul Duruva, who lived in krutha yuga. He was a prince. He was not allowed to sit on his own father's lap by his step mother. In that young age, with blind faith and utmost devotion he prayed to the lord. The lord came down and gave place on his own lap. He attained the highest level - The liberation, still standing there in the north pole as the guiding star.

Well, even this is not easy to believe because there is a huge difference in the time span.
We are in kali yuga. To make it simple Andal comes to our rescue. Her time was around 3004 B.C.
She wrote Thirupaavai - 30 songs on Lord Krishna and his glories. She tells,

" Mayanai mannu vada madurai maindanai
Thuyapperu neer  Yamunai thhurai vanai
Ayar kkulatthinil thondrum mani vailakkai
Thayaik kudal vilakkam saida damodaranai
Thuyomai vandu nam
Thumalartthuvit thozhudu
Vayinalppadi manatthinal chindikka
Poyappizayum pugu tharuvan nindranavum
Theeyinil thusahum cheppelo rembavai " 
                                                     - verse 5, thirupaavai. 

She tells once we tell the lord's name with utmost devotion, any of his name for that matter, just as agni swallows what ever comes its way, all our mistakes would be nullified.

Though the verses are sweet and simple, we don't easily believe in such things. We start questioning as its up above our little knowledge. More over, we are the generation who believe only in concrete proofs.

So,
Algebra in Gita.

sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah

                                                             - Shrimat Bhagavad gita, chapter 18, verse 66

                                                                  

Meaning: This is called the carama sloka of Gita. Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.





There is one coding technique called katapayadi sankya, to decode sanskrit verses.
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katapayadi_system )



 If this katapayadi sankya is applied to the above sloka we get the following numbers

74951211551525280847411150115556 - a 32 digit number

Apply divisibility rule for 11

sum of digits at odd places = 53
sum of digits at even places = 64
sum of digits at odd places - sum of digits at even places = 11
so it is divisible by 11.

pāpa means sin if this word is decoded we get 11. In Vedic mathematics, it is said where ever the word "pāpa " comes, the entire coding is divisible by 11.

Hence,  bhagavat gita proves bhagavathi gita (thiruppavai) is right. 

So be it "Jabamae Jayam" or "Theeyinil thusahum cheppelo rembavai", one will certainly feel relieved from stress if one chants. We see lot many creations in this world, so there must be a creator. Just a thanks would do for this dress, food and shelter. Thank god!
