Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Thank you Vipin for your encouragement. I would like to donate and feed poor children in India but do not know who to send money to. Also do I have to chant certain mantras before doing this? Who will be able to guide me in this matter? There is some very very powerfu negative force of hatred in my husband's mind. How is it possible to remove it? Please if you are unable to advise put me in touch with someone who does. I really appreciate your help and concern.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Dear cyra I am sending some information which would be of use to you 1.There are two organisations in Madras now called chennai in tamilnadu in india who are doing excellent work with orphans especially children one is Udavum karangal (you could refer to their web site www.myhelpinghands.org )this is run by a person called vidyakar and he has some wonderful children with him around 500 in number and i am there at least one day a year to sponsor their breakfast/lunch and spend the time with them.Well i came to know from them that love is something where the mathematics is strange if u divide it, it increases..................these innocent children make one forget all our problems! The other is Sivananda saraswathi ashram in chennai and they can be contacted at sivanand contact name padmashree Dr. S. Rajaram or website at www.sivanandagurukuk.org or buildhope.org You could contact them directly and ask them how to send money and other details. 2.Yes , you can chant mantras during this. Out of my limited knowledge i would say that there are different ways of reaching god one is manav seva(helping our fellow beings,other living beings etc.) the other is bakthi seva where one surrenders one completely to the lord. Or well both! Well as told in Bagavath Gita by Lord krishna if you are born in this earth do what is just and help others without any expectations and you will reach me one day. 3.Whatever way we want to reach god is up to us and for all practical considerations we should............................................ First do our duty to our fellow beings(in whatever capacity let us say a doctor,teacher.........husband,wife..............son,brother...................w\ ithout expecting any return-unconditional love( pretty difficult isn't it!) Well let me sum it up in this wonderful story:(as it is very difficult for me to explain this .................. Sage narada wanted to know from Mahavishnu as to who is the greatest devotee in this world.Vishnu showed him "Look there is a farmer on the earth toiling in the hot sun and chanting my name whenever possible let us say during periods of rest/work etc. and this farmer is my greatest devotee". Sage narada was shocked to say the least!! Well he said "Lord i chant your name "Narayana" a million times a day but this is what you have to say?" Mahavishnu gave sage narada a job:He had to take a pot full of oil filled to the brim and come around the earth without spilling a drop.Well sage narada did the same very carefully with utmost concentration - PERFECTLY. After the task mahavishnu asked him "Narada well done.. but during this job how many times did u remember me or utter/chant my name?" Well sage narada sheepishly told mahavisnu that he did not done so even once nor chanted narayana even once during the job as he was completely immersed in the job There is the lesson God has for us : Everything we do everything we own is his and what we are capable of doing today is also because of him ......so he says "I will shower my greatest blessings on the person who remembers me when fulffiling every duty of his".................. Cyra,.........Bad times due to planetary positions are like........ let us say we go to a person's house for a visit and he has some fine dogs who would bark at us or come to bite us and make us terrified! (I have experienced it) but as soon as we call the master of the house and he comes out and command's his pets to remain quite they do so and all our fear is gone and we breathe easy, it is the same ---------------------chant om Namo narayana or om namashivaya and as soon as we see god (the master) and he gives us darshan all our troubles disappear and we breathe free. So go ahead cyra happy chanting (rudraksha beads will help u a lot for jappa) and the blessings of god will always be with you. Om Namashivaya........................
