DO OUR THOUGHTS HAVE POWER?

I’m raising this question to you the readers…..almost majority of our answers will be yes

Here is an incident which I experienced very recently that justifies the power of thought

On our way back to home from kumbakonam after visiting holy shrines we were in a route which links us to the highway and the time was about 7.00pm in the evening and we decided to have our dinner in a hotel or restaurants located in the highway and we started; but fortunately the route connecting the highway has no hotels as we were rerouted to alternate way; the time went on all of my family members including me were searching for hotels while travelling due to hunger and there were hotels nearby but they were almost non veg hotel as our family is a vegetarian family we were much disappointed and time went on to 8,9 and 10  Google map showed a vegetarian hotels in about 2kms from our location we were little happy because there is a message below stating that the hotel will close soon and after reaching the place we find hotel and with the blessings of god the food is available and we had a dinner around 10:15 to 10:30.

After a good dinner I walked back to car and opened my Google map to predict how long it will take to reach home; I was just shocked as the place we actually had lunch is a famous town in cuddalore district and that place has great historic background

HISTORIC BACKGROUND

Let me shoot (you not by gun) but by a question by pointing out the merits and historic background of the place and you guess the name of the place

The place got its popularity due to the works and contribution of the great saint; who is also a Tamil poet; and a founder of samarasa suddha sanmarga sathiya sangam the prime aspect of this association involves human life should be love connected with charity and divine practice leading to achievement of pure knowledge: he also opened the sathya gnana sabha and he is the man who believed that service to living beings by helping them is the highest form of worship of god; he established a center for feeding the poor, on the inaugural day he lit the fire of the stone stove with declaration that the fire be ever alive and the needy shall be fed forever. His main aim and thought is no living being should be harmed; everyone in this world should have food and nobody should suffer for getting food, his thought is shared by his own writing (I think everybody got the answer but I’ll continue)

வாடிய பயிரைக் கண்டபோ தெல்லாம் வாடினேன் பசியினால் இளைத்தே

வீடுதோ றிரந்தும் பசியறா தயர்ந்த வெற்றரைக் கண்டுளம் பதைத்தேன்

நீடிய பிணியால் வருந்துகின்றோர் என் நேர் உறக்கண்டுளந்துடித்தேன்

ஈடின்மானிகளாய் ஏழைகளாய் நெஞ் சிளைத்தவர் தமைக்கண்டே இளைத்தேன்”

The meaning and core content of the above verses is the poet loses his strength when he sees a withered trees plants and crops and also by seeing beggars who go and seek food from many houses and unable to quench their hunger and also the persons who are suffering from incurable diseases and by the trouble faced by the poor.

The poet is none other than Arutpragasa Vallalar who is also known as Ramalinga adigalar and the place is vadalur

My memory reminded the great mind vallalar and my stomach (not only stomach my whole body get energized) thanked him for his valuable thought everybody should get food and satisfy his hunger.

Yes thought has power, I may not know whether his thought spread over the world but it is spread over the places where he lived, and his valuable thought quenched our hunger

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

-Buddha

But soon his thought will reach worldwide and everyone in this world live the peaceful life

Great men are not dead, they are still living by their thoughts
