Hye folks,
Tuesday , this whole week need to wake up early in the morning as Im the teacher on the duty so need to be at the school before students. It’s a difficult task for me, no matter what have to do it as a responsibility. Late midnight or early morning around 1.30 am this morning while I was chatting with a facebook friend, she asked me regarding my religion practice as she was confused with my profile where I uploaded Jesus statue in my house and then several photos of Shridi Sai Baba statues, Photos taken at Poovarathammal Temple, Shree Ranganaatha Swami Madaalayam, and even Thaipoosam pictures. I just smile and answered her for look at my answer on my blog today. So , todays topic will be based on my beliefs and my religion as she might searching for her answer today.
As for me, I always believe that God is one and names are many. For me religion and culture are same. What you belief considered as Spiritual View. Im practicing Hinduism culture as I born as a Hindu. As for spiritual view, rather than saying following, it would be apt if I said, I inspire or admire by the great example of human beings as Shridi Sai Baba, Jesus, Prophets, Osho, Mother Thressa, my late mother, Gauthama Buddha and whoever taught me good lesson in life. It could be a small kid who taught me how to forget all the sorrows and smile cheerfully or even my friend who consoles me when I’m in hard time or even the one who back stabbed me and made realized certain things in life. I learn from all the mankind in this world on my self-development. Even recently, I learn something from my pet dog, Shay-Lee where I hit her with a stick when she had urine on my pillow. It screamed loudly and get rid out of me for a while. Then after a few moments, she came back to me and sit on my lap silently. When I looked at her eyes, I could see the deep sadness on its eyes and a hope that I could accept her without any hatred. I felt very touched and even without any shame I admit here that my eyes were full of tears also. I just realized that it was a behavior that we could hardly find in any human’s character. Nobody will tell that they love their pet dog than their family, girlfriend, husband or wife. Just imagine, if u hurt or hit someone love the most will come back to you instantly as what my dog did? I don’t think so as we as a human competing with ‘ego’s’ all the time and even myself wont did that. I learnt a valuable lesson that day from my dog on the Importance of Forgiveness and Acceptance in life. That was my spiritual view on that day or I’d rather said, my spiritual guru on that day was my pet dog, Shay-Lee. For me, whatever good things I learnt in this life will definitely be my spiritual view and whoever taught me a good lesson will be my spiritual guru on that day. Some people may do ask me, then why you did abhishegam for Shridi Sai Baba, taking paal koodam for Murugan, and worshipping statues. I just want to clarify that, I wont do anything without a purpose. On why I did abhishegam for Shridi Sai Baba every Thursday, because his lesson was the one taught me to develop myself when Im in sorrows and had showed me my strength. So as a token of appreciation, every Thursday, I devoted myself to him. On why Im taking Paal Koodam, when I need to blurted out everything that I couldn’t share with anyone, I choose Lord Muruga. To show an appreciation for a human, we just could bring them for a treat or bought them a gift but for those who we could only feel their presence, I don’t have any options then doing this which was practiced for centuries. In short, whatever makes me feel better or develop myself for a better person will be my spiritual view and I will appreciate them in a way that satisfying myself.
Even once when me and my friends, Azizan, Ganesh, Shankar and Azman got lost at the middle of Pulau Besar island, when we got no help, no phone line, no lights, and it was really dark. We even reached the abandoned hotel which was really looking like haunted palace. We just believe that the mystic island has something that we could trust to help us and we started to pray on our own way and we managed to find the right path. Once we reach our tent safely, and Azman chants Islam’s safety chants appreciating their belief’s almighty. After him, myself and Shankar took our chance to read the chants as well as it was written using normal alphabets in front of Sultan Ariffin’s tomb there. So for myself, I wouldn’t put a circle around me and set a rule for my religion perspective. For me, god always remained abstract where we could feel him anywhere, in any form, in ourselves, in anybody’s positive attitude, in a child, in animals, or even in trees and plants. Everywhere that could teach us the right way of living. So, I never set a specific religion for me as I always believe in everything I thought could help in my personal development. I respect all the religion or culture in this world and I don’t hesitate to learn about it and also all their culture if got chances. When I was in Pahang, my housemate was a muslim and he was even a Ustaz.We was really close friends that time where we used to sell dried fish at the night market and even fasting together during Ramadhan. Furthermore, he was to one taught me car driving and I owe him a lot as he took care of me as his own brother. I still remember, when my mom passed away, I was I have to be vegan for 16 day and was living alone in Pahang with depress. He brought me to his kampong and even his family cook for me vegetarian meals for me. They console me like my own family and that Ustaz’s father in law was the one told me, whatever happened all due to the god and our life must go on. He was definitely my spiritual guru on that day. I learnt a lot about Islam and its teaching. He taught me a lot of things about Prophet Muhammad and even I took some of his teaching in my personal development as well. Spiritual for me like an ocean, it doesn’t have an end and you have to learn or feel it till the rest of your life. I think I’m getting too spiritual now so need to stop this spiritual stuff and move on to next exciting happened today.
Later after the school, I need to attend the workshop organized by Jennifer (Our foreign mentor from Canada). Before my workshop begins, I need to have something for lunch. Last time I always skip my meals but once I fainted due to low blood pressure, I never failed to skip my meals. So, rather than going outside and eat I search for some food in school canteen and Kak Noriah suggest me her mee curry. Wow, that was really fabulous mee curry I had after a long time. Great !!! With heavy stomach I entered Jennifer’s workshop with a doubt and worry If I fell asleep what will be her reaction. Luckily, nothing sort of that happened as Jennifer knew it very well how to make our eyes wide open with her fun and enjoyable stuffs and activities throughout her workshop. Need to learn a lot from her as she is really good at it.
I really wanna share something that attracted me yesterday. It’s a trailer of Vikram’s new movie ‘Deiva Thirumagan’. Really looking forward to this movie as the trailer was really awesome and for Vikram enthusiastic for trying experimental subject and characteristic in every movie of his without considering mainly about commercial success. You could see the trailer here as well.
Its time for to have some chinese tea. For your information,I always drink chinese drink tea during many parts of the day such as during meals for good health or for simple pleasure. Trust me, I really do experience it and today I had Yunnan Puer Tea. Let me tell you what something about this Yunna Puer Tea or also known as Pu-erh tea. Drinking pu'er tea is purported to reduce blood cholesterol.This belief has been backed up by scientific studies not only demonstrating experimental results of lowered LDL cholesterol in rats, but discovering specific mechanisms through which chemicals in pu'er tea inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol. Pu'er tea has been shown to have antimutagenic and antimicrobial properties as well. (source: wikipedia) Have a look at my Yunna Puer Teapot :)
Okey , its a gonna end of 05042011, see u guys with some exciting experience tomorrow.
Lots of of love, respect and regards,
