  • Sri Kanchi Mahaswami V.V.S.Manian
    Sri Kanchi Mahaswami V.V.S.Manian A rare gem among saints What makes the Sufi? Purity of heart; Not the patched mantle and the lust perverse Of those vile earth-bound men who steal his name. He in all dregs discerns the essence pure: In hardship ease, in tribulation joy. The phantom sentries, who with batons drawn Guard Beauty's palace-gate and curtained bower, Give way before him, unafraid he passes,.. Rumi In ancient days there were not many saints. Today you have dime a dozen persons who call themselves saints, Jagadh gurus, sadhus, spiritual leaders, soothsayers, etc. A “new breed of sanyasis”, who indulge in everything from rape, murder squandering devotees’ money to satisfying their sex urges and five star living have sprung up. Among this criminal crowd of saffron scoundrels, it is very difficult to cull out a true sanyasi who can guide the troubled world to walk in the path of divinity, devotion and prayer. In the present day, pursuing a saint’s life is a highly lucrative profession; easy to wear ochre robes and proclaim oneself as path finder of prosperity and heaven. There are enough superstitious suckers who fall into this trap. Women devotees unwittingly lose their chastity and hard earned money to some flamboyant sanyasis. Profile of a true saint The rishis, seers, sadhus, sanyasis, gurus and acharyas, were the storehouse of spiritual knowledge. They scrupulously followed Hindu dharma and were considered as Gods on earth. Swami Sivananda while narrating the glory of saints observes “To him (saint) the whole world is mere straw.

    March 1st and 2nd news: National: Cabinet approves Trafficking of Persons Bill The Cabinet on 28th March approved Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018 for introduction in Parliament. The Bill broadly addresses the issue of trafficking from the point of view of prevention, rescue and rehabilitation. In order to break the organized nexus, both at the national and international level, the Bill provides for the attachment and forfeiture of property and also the proceeds for the crime. The Bill has provision for time-bound trial and repatriation of the victims within a period of one year from taking into cognizance. It also focuses on immediate protection of rescued victims and their rehabilitation. A rehabilitation fund has been created for the first time which will be used for the physical, psychological and social well-being of the victim including education, skill development, health care, psychological support, legal aid, safe accommodation etc. Designated courts in each district will be established for the speedy trial of the cases. The Bill creates dedicated institutional mechanisms at District, State and Central Level. These will be responsible for prevention, protection, investigation and rehabilitation work related to trafficking. National Investigation Agency will perform the tasks of Anti-Trafficking Bureau at the national level present under the Home Ministry. The Bill comprehensively addresses the transnational nature of the crime. The National Anti-Trafficking Bureau will perform the functions of international coordination with authorities in foreign countries and international organizations. The Bill has the provision of punishment for promoting or facilitating trafficking of a person which includes producing, printing, issuing or distributing unissued, tampered or fake certificates, registration or stickers as proof of compliance with Government requirements, or commits fraud for procuring or facilitating the acquisition of clearances and necessary documents from Government agencies.

    OM SRI GURUBHYO NAMAH from Tamil book by Pu.Ma.JAYASENTHILNATHAN, M.A. (Asthana Vidvan, Sri Sankara Matham, Kanchipuram) and other sources Released during the SAHASRADINA SATHABHISHEKAM CELEBRATIONS of Jagadguru Sri JAYENDRA SARASWATHI SWAMIGAL Sankaracharya of Moolamnaya Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham Kanchipuram November 2015 Compiler’s Preface The unbounded Grace of Jagadguru Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal, Sankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham has made me take up the impossible task of compiling his Vijaya Yatras based on Sri Pulavar Ma.Jayasenthilnathan’s book in Tamil ‘Sri Jayendra Vijayam’ – parts 1 and 2. The contents of the two volumes have been assembled and abridged. Information has also been updated, mainly in the Appendices based on other sources. A multifaceted personality, simplicity personified- that is our Swamigal in a nutshell. His one trait, which none, who has had his fleeting darshan even once, will miss is his geniality and the infectious and bewitching smile on his lustrous face. The revered Paramacharya Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Swamigal had said that he himself was the “Iccha Sakthi” and his disciple was the “Kriya Sakthi”. This was with reference to how his devoted disciple carried out his every wish. Soon after his becoming Peethadhipati, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal wrote Page 2 of 128 a treatise on Brahma Sutra Bhashya, titled ‘Gurupriya’, as desired by his Guru. Known for clarity, cogency and brevity, Gurupriya is intended to serve as a refresher to the serious student engaged in manana, contemplation. Sri Acharya Swamigal has become the prime mover over the years in projects that have far - reaching impact in manifold areas of Vedic education, maintenance of heritage including temples, social welfare, health, child care, and village crafts and education.
