Keep Smiling...

சிறு மழை துளி அளவு மகிழ்ச்சியும்
என்னை சிறு குழந்தையாக
சிரிக்க வைப்பதால்
சந்தோஷ குடைக்குள் - நான் !
பெரும் மழை துன்பம்
என்னை நனைப்பதில்லை !

Method for Preparing Masala Vada

2. Grind 1/4 portion of Channadal, ginger, garlic, red chilli and fennel seeds together with as little water as possible into a coarse batter and then add rest of the channadal grind further just for a minute so that some of the channadal remains as a whole which gives crispy taste.

4. Make small ball of batter and then make it flat with approximately two tbsp of batter for each vada using your palm and finger.
5. Heat the oil in a frying pan up to the level by checking if you drop a just tiny batter into the oil it should float as soon as you dropped it into the oil

Srimad Valmiki Ramayanam - Sundara Kandam


Srimad Valmiki Ramayana is an epic poem of India which narrates the journey of Virtue to annihilate vice. Sri  Rama is the Hero and aayana His journey. We in India believe that Sri Rama lived in Treta Yug, millennia BC and we are presently concerned with what Srimad Valmiki Ramayana tells us, rather than when it was told.
This epic poem Ramayana is a smriti which is translated as "from memory". Given the antiquity of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana, there have been some interjected verses. Sometimes these verses can be contradicting. However, scholars, grammarians, historians have put lot of effort to standardize the original text, by verifying various manuscripts available from various parts of India, thus trying to stabilize and save the text from further contradictions. An example of this effort is the critical edition of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana. This site aims to study various versions of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana and arrive at a version of Ramayana that is most relevant to modern times. 
Srimad Valmiki Ramayana is composed of verses called Sloka, in Sanskrit language, which is an ancient language from India and a complex meter called Anustup. These verses are grouped into individual chapters called Sargas, wherein a specific event or intent is told. These chapters or sargas are grouped into books called Kaandas where Kaanda means the inter-node stem of sugar cane, or also a particular phase of the story or an event in the course of story telling.
Thus the structure of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana is arranged into six Kaandas or Books, and they are:
Bala Kanda, Ayodhya Kanda, Aranya Kanda, Kishkindha Kanda, Sundara Kanda and Yuddha Kanda.
Sundara Kandam: Story
With this assurance Hanuman commences his attempts to search Sita. From here our Sundara Kandam begins. From Skandhamana Parvatham - a mountain - Hanuman successfully crosses the Bay of Bengal. Reaches Sri Lanka and there he meets Sita. He identifies himself as Lord Rama's envoy (Rama Dootha) and hands over his Lord's Ring as his identity. At the court of Ravana Hanuman was disrespected and ill-treated. The army of Ravana set fire over Hanuman's tail. Hanuman took revenge by setting fire to the entire city of Sri Lanka. He gets back to Rama and shared the entire story and about his meeting with Sita as well as her eagerness for reunion with Lord Rama.
This is the most blessed Kandam or section in the whole of Ramayana and therefore it gains this unique name 'Sundara Kandam'. 'Sundaram' means beauty. Lord Hanuman's other name is 'Sundara'. In Sundara Kandam, Sage Valmiki speaks about the achievements of Hanuman. For Hanuman nothing is impossible. His attitude always reminds us self-confidence, faith and devotion to Rama, fearlessness, and trustworthiness.
Benefits of Sundara Kanda Parayanam
The events in this chapter bring confidence and hope from all corners. Hanuman's indulgence in the destruction of evils has proved that Dharma alone will triumph. People started believing in Dharma (good virtues). Only Lord Rama could destroy Adharma (all evil virtues). The Kandam teaches us that, if we want to be successful in life we have to practice Dharma. The significance of reading Sundara Kandam will definitely result in prosperity and it will mitigate all problems you face in your daily life. Reading one chapter or sargam of Sundara Kandam is equal to chanting 1000 times Gayathri Japam.

Where to Recite? When to Recite? :
Recitation of Sundara Kandam of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana is called 'Parayanam.' It can be read for any occasion like Rama Navami (Rama's birthday), Navarathri, Anniversary, Birthday, etc.
There are conventional methods for Sundara Kanda Parayanam. The Parayanam can be made either on a communal basis in temples, public mandapams (halls) or in your home. Parayana can either be made by a guru for the benefit of every listener to hear, or you yourself can recite the slokas in Sanskrit. To help people who don't know Sanskrit script, there are books comprising Sanskrit slokas along with English (or other Indian vernacular languages) transliteration.

How to Recite?
Though it is desirable to represent Rama either by Dasavarana Yanthra or statue, it would be sufficient if you worship your Ramayana Book. You may keep the Pattabhishekam image of Lord Rama. You must offer Naivedya (submit boiled milk added with Sugar) to God before and after the Parayana. If not at beginning at least offer Naivedya at the end of the Parayana. Lotus and Thulasi (Ocimum) flowers are the best to worship the Lord. If not available, any flower except Karavira (Arali) can be used. Offering to God Pomegranate would bring in immense benefits. You may commence with Chanting of Rama Gayathri or Shadakshari mantra before and after finishing you parayana. Find your Rama Gayathri and Shadakshari mantra below:
"Dasarathaya Vidhmahe, Sita vallabhata Dheemahi, Thanno Rama Prachodayath." - Rama Gayathri
Om Ram Ramaya Namaha (or Swaha) - Shadakshari mantra

என் மனமோ உனையே சுற்றி வருகிறது !
ஏனோ ?
வெயில் உதிர் காலம்
இலை உதிர் காலம்
பனி உதிர் காலம்
பூ உதிர் காலம்
மழை உதிர் காலம் - கால நிலையின் சுழற்சி !
பூமி பந்து தன்னையும்  சுற்றி
சூரியனையே  சுற்றி வரும் !
ஹ்ம்ம்....
இப்போது விளங்குகிறது -!
நான் மட்டும் ....
இயற்கையின் விதியில்
இருந்து விலகிட தகுமோ ?

கடற்கரை

கடற்கரையில் அந்த மணல்வெளியில்
எங்கெங்கு காணினும்
மனிதனின் சுவடுகள் -  !
காற்றில் கரையும் - அந்த
காலடி தடங்கல் - சொல்லும்
காவியங்கள் கணக்கில் அடங்காதது !
உலகின் அத்தனை உறவுகளும்
ஒரு முறையாவது
கால் பதித்திருக்கும் !
அறிவியல் உலகம்
ஆயிரம் படைப்புக்களை
வியத்தகு விந்தைகளை - வித்திட்டுருந்தாலும் !
அலைகடல் வீதியிலே
அன்ன நடையிட்டு
தென்றலோடு உறவாடுவது
தெவிட்டாத இன்பம் !
