Thirumanthiram - 770(790)

770. வெள்ளிவெண் திங்கள் விளங்கும் புதனிடம்

ஒள்ளிய மந்தன் இரவிசெவ் வாய்வலம்

வள்ளிய பொன்னே வளரும் பிறையிடந்

தெள்ளிய தேய்பிறை தான்வல மாமே.

(ப. இ.) உயிர்ப்பின் ஓட்டத்தைச் சரமென்பர். அது, வெள்ளி திங்கள் புதன்கிழமைகளில் இடமூக்கின் வழியாகச் செல்லுதல்வேண்டும். சனி ஞாயிறு செவ்வாய்க்கிழமைகளில் வலமூக்கின்வழியாக ஓடுதல் வேண்டும். வியாழக்கிழமைக்கு வளர்பிறையில் இடமூக்கும் தேய் பிறையில் வலமூக்குமாக ஓடுதல் வேண்டும்.

Naturally on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays the breathing takes place through right nostril and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays breathing takes place through left nostril. On Thursdays, if the moon is traveling from full moon to new moon the breathing takes place through right nostril and if the moons travel is from new moon to full moon the breathing takes place through left nostril

After knowing about this Thirumanthiram verses I have been checking myself and to my surprise the nostrils through which at least I breath, I am able to see the truth in the verses. The point one has to note here is that the verses only mentions the appropriate way the human body will breath. So do not force yourself to stick to the verses, if the breathing is not as mentioned in the above verses. I have obsorvered that consuming any negative pranic food might reverse the breathing pattern. This might result in ailments if the reversal continues.

To achieve the above pattern of breathing as mentioned in the verses, my experience is, continuous ( daily) adherence to pranayama / Sambhavi.

If you already have the above patern of breathing, maintain the same for longitivity through regular practise of yoga, pranayama, meditation, conscious living by consuming positive pranic foods.

Some of the negative pranic foods are : Onion, Garlic, Brinjal(egg plant) - to be avoided and used only as medicine if required.

Some of the positive pranic foods are : Ash gourd and Pumpkin type of veggies - these enhance life force in ones body.

Avoid non-veg 100%.

Thirumoolar Thirumanthiram - மூன்றாம் தந்திரம் - 1. அட்டாங்க யோகம் - verse 534

534. இயம நியமமே எண்ணிலா ஆதனம்

நயமுறு பிராணாயா மம்பிரத்தி யாகாரஞ்

சயமிகு தாரணை தியானஞ் சமாதி

அயமுறும் அட்டாங்க மாவது மாமே.

(ப. இ.) தீதகற்றல், நன்றாற்றல், அளவிலா இருக்கை, வளிநிலை, தொகை நிலை, பொறை நிலை, நினைதல், நொசிப்பு என்னும் வழிமுறைத் தவநிலை பயிலுதல் வேண்டும். இயமம் - தீதகற்றல். நியமம் - நன்றாற்றல். ஆதனம் - இருக்கை. பிராணாயாமம் - வளிநிலை. பிரத்தியாகாரம் - தொகை நிலை. தாரணை - பொறைநிலை. தியானம் - நினைதல். சமாதி - நொசிப்பு.

(அ. சி.) அயமுறு - நல்வழிப்படுத்தும்.

The above verses from thirumoolar's thirumanthiram talk about the 8 fold path to attain bliss.

1 not doing what is wrong

2 doing what is right

3 maintaining the right bodily posture 

4 maintaining the right breathing

5 arresting the thoughts - getting to a state of thoughtlessness

6 focusing on Agya 

7 meditation 

8 bliss

While at some instances during few seconds or minutes of meditation one tends to attain the state of blissfulness. To permanently be in the blissful state or to be at the blissful state when ever one wants to be, one needs to be practicing the above 8 steps continuously.

I will subsequently share details of the above 8 folds.

Thirumoolar

ThiruMular's Thirumanthiram 3008 can be accessed here with wonderful recital http://tamiltunes.com/thirumoolar-aruliya-thirumandiram-22-hours-long.html It is said Thirumular is the one who had designed the Chidambaram Natarajar temple. His mahasamdhi is also said to be inside the temple. It is over Thirumular's Mahasamadhi we have the present day Thiru Athinathar Sanidhi.

Save electric power by switching of the PC when not in use

Energy cost is going up all over the world and producing it leaves heavy carbon foot print which has got cascading effect on the environment and those creatures that share this planet with us. If you leave your PC booted at all times 24X7 it consumes a little over 5 KVA per week. So if you use it only for 8 hours a day this would amount to just 1.6 KVA only per week the remaining 3.4 KVA per week is being wasted just because the PC is kept ON.

While organizations and individuals who can afford to pay their power bills waste the electric power, those in dire need of power are deprived of the same.

Any commodity, we have the right to use it but not waste.

You can save 3.4 KVA per week Per PC, if you can spread this message.

Lets take some easy steps to save this planet.
