Selfless Siddhiaha

It was a peaceful and graceful village. Most of the villagers are workers, small farmers besides few Brhamins and Vysyas. There was also a zamindar named Rajaraja in the village, who is said to be the owner of over five hundred acres of land. He had a spacious and elegant bungalow where over fifty workers work on different assignments.

The village had a small temples to reach the water . People of different ages used the water for bathing. Swimming and washing clothes.

There was a very fat person named Siddhiaha . Nobody knows from where he came and settled in the village choultry. He needed a large meal enough for 4 to 5 persons. Out of compassion. The villages had decided that each family would provide him with a meal daily by rotation

Wherever there was a function in any family, Siddhiaha was there without fail to render all possible help to make the function successful.

Everyday he spends about 4 to 5 hours bathing, swimming, meditating , doing yoga exercises and praynama. Whenever a youngster was interested to learn swimming , he taught him with delight.

Oneday while the cildren were swimming in the tank, Sukumar, the only son of the zamindar got into the tnak. Children swimming in the tank offered to teach him swimming . Out of curiosity , the boy agreed to learn swimming.

No one among them was competent enough to teach swimming. Due to inexperience of children. While swimming. Sukumar was almost drowning and gasping to breath. Other children became pancky and did not know what to do.

When the children were shivering with fear. Siddhiaha suddenly appeared there. He saw the young boy gasping for breath and jumped into the water and carried the boy on his shoulder to a safe place. He carefully removed the water and helped the boy to restore normal breathing. By that time the news reached the zamindar and a huge crowd assembled near the tank admiring Siddhiaha for the noble and brave action to save Sukumar, who would have otherwise suffocated and died if there was any delay.

It was a great relief for the zamindar Rajaraja and his family members. Right from that day Siddhiaha was given royal quarters and princely treatment. Everbody in the village felt that Siddhiaha was God who came in the human form . with all that, Sidhhaiah continued to render all help to  the villagers during all functions.

Siddhiaha died at the age of 90.. The zamindar constructed a small temple and installed a graceful statue of Siddhiaha The zamindar and his family members offered Puja everyday and Siddhiaha was considered as God in human form. In loving memory of Siddhiahaaiah, zamindar Rjaraaja constructed a huge community complex consisting of a primary school, hospital, community hall, choultry and named it Siddhiaha Community Complex.

Moral; Selfless service gives priceless peace.

They must be fit for it

In order that people may be happy in their work, three thins are needed . They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it and they must have a sense of success in it.

Owner Knows not

Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness , yet perhaps their  own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

We have covered the entire ground of life, with its various viscissitudes, and even beyond life. And we have seen that true religion helps us always and everywhere.

But religion never becomes a real stream of power coursing through one’s life unless it springs from one’s hunger for God. Until and unless the thirst for liberation from the bondage of ignorance and limitations of life becomes the passion of our soul , religion does not become true in our life

When the motive force behind righteousness is to get help in smoothly passing through life, then it may amount to no more than pretension and shopkeeping. Then it becomes a sanctimonious sort of materialism, which certainly is not true religion. And such righteousness cannot bear the challenge of adversity; it breaks down in no time.

But righteousness that springs from love of God and from the yearning for continuing in His love is indestructible. This is the fountain of true religion. Which expresses itself in life as truthfulness. Purity, self-control, non-violence, forbearance, compassion, equanimity, detachment, other-regard, straightforwardness, and longing for liberation or enlightenment.

Whoever we may be , whatever our situation in life, religion always stands by and sustains us. Not only that, if we pass away before attaining enlightenment, true religion carries over to us in the next life the merits earned by us in this life.

Religion is no the friend of one life alone; it is our eternal friend, even in life after death.

IF HE EXIST

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting seven precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting seven minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste seven minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.
