Suki Sivam

Today, I happen to browse the Podcast section.
Accidently, I stumbled upon a lecture given by Mr. Suki Sivam, during his visit to Houston, Texas, USA, on 30 Feb 2005.

Pretty late.

But, since the subject was very much relevent to anytime, I was able to enjoy every bit of it.

The lecture was about Tamil, our culture and about "Thirukural" etc. Execlent quotes were given.

For an example, he quote an incident which happened in Swami Vivekanand's Life.

when Swami Vivekananda went to USA, a lady asked him to marry her.
When Swami asked the lady about what made her ask him such question, the lady replied
that she was facinated by his intelect.
She wanted a child of such an intelect. So she asked swami, whether he could marry her
and give a child like him.

Anybody would have felt outraged by such question. Many would have condemned her desire.
Any normal person would have said and acted in such way that the lady would have felt offended.
But swami handled the situation (Very difficult indeed!) in a most surprising way.

He said to that lady, that since she was attracted only by his intelect, there is no problem.
He continued as follows!

"My dear lady, I understand your desire. Marrying and bringing a child in to this world and understanding whether it is inteligent or not takes very long time. More over it is not guaranteed.

Instead, to fulfil your desire immediately, I can suggest a guaranteed way.

Take me as your child. You are my Mother.
Now on your desire of having a child of my intelect is fullfiled."

The lady was speechless.

What a great way of handling a very difficult problem without hurting anybody.

So the podcost goes on...
It was a lovely experience to hear.
Here is the link...
Hope you also enjoy that..
