Community Prayer – 30.10.2009

Dr.Sudha Seshan Addressing the Students through Telephone

On 30.10.2009, after the community prayer,  Dr.Sudhaseshan addressed us from Chennai, through telephone.

            She started her speech quoting Mahakavi Bharathi and how his dreams have come true now. Bharathi  sang that,  sitting in kanchi we would be able to listen to  scholars speaking from Varanasi. Now it has become possible for us in kallupatti to hear her speech delivered from Chennai instantaneously. Modern science is doing wonders.

            She compared students with flowers. Like flowers who spread sweet fragrance and please others with beauty, students should be good enough to help others in all possible ways. They must inculcate good virtues and develop at least one good habit a day.

            Dr.Sudhaseshan advised  the students to follow Pine Apple technique to study their subjects. It is very difficult to eat the whole pine-apple in one sitting. But it is easy to swallow the whole fruit in pieces. Likewise instead of studying a very big portion in a single sitting,  it will be easier to understand and study if the lesson is divided into smaller units.

            To emphasize the value of truth, She narrated a story about a thief, who vowed to speak only truth and thus  became a minister and confidant of a king and how the then Minister of the kingdom lost his job owing to his lies.

            She also narrated a story from our epic about king Abarajitha who refused to let Goddess Sathya to leave his country, though he let other Goddesses like Goddess of wealth, wisdom and Justice. Because ‘Sathya‘ (Truth) is  the most valuable virtue to be possessed by every one. According to Gandhiji “ Truth Is God”   Our government’s motto is  “ Truth Triumphs ”. So all of us should speak only truth and nothing but truth.  She quoted examples from Gandhiji’s life to stress the importance  of truth.

            Her speech lasted for nearly an hour. The audience,  including mostly the students,  listened carefully with open ear and mind. Every one enjoyed the speech as it was very stimulating, motivating and encouraging.
