Prayer of the day-26:

O Agni! Lead us along the right path, to the kingdom of righteousness. Lord of Light, the dark recesses of the mind cannot be hid from You, the knower of all. Cut asunder the evil in us that would make us stray from the right path. Thus do we pray and offer our adorations unto You, ever and ever more (Rig Veda)

Gems from Gandhiji-7:

Mankind is notoriously too dense to read the signs that God sends from time to time. We require drums to be beaten into our ears, before we should wake from our trance and hear the warning and see that to lose oneself in all, is the only way to find oneself.

O Lord, the dispeller of darkness and remover of woe! Impart Thee that all beings may view me with friendly eyes and may i see them with friendly eyes. May we all look at each other with friendly eyes - Yajur Veda

Wayside Temples-37: "Sri Vazhiththunai Vinayagar Temple"

This small temple of Lord Vigneswara is in the Karaikudi Railway station premises, just outside the entrance. Passengers entering the station can pray the Lord for their safety and proceed. What with terrorist attacks and careless railway employees, journeys, including train journeys, are becoming hazardous and one definitely needs the protection of the Lord.

Question and Answer-28: "What is discrimination?"

What is discrimination?

Discrimination is the reasoning by which one knows that God alone is real and all else is unreal. Real means eternal, and unreal means impermanent. He who has acquired discrimination knows that God is the only Substance and all else is non-existent. (The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna).
