Prof.Viswam on VRS and BOOKS
Thank you very much for presenting me two of your books, titled Life of Love and Life Made Simple. I was glancing through – I found that my admiration, not jealousy, for you has increased many many times. The contents, convincingly reveal your erudite scholarship, in so many fields, wisdom, commitment to do something for the society – all adding up to make a significant contribution to the Society. Welcome.
God Bless You. You took a significant decision in taking voluntary retirement and deciding to concentrate full-time on doing really satisfying and fulfilling work. Your plans to visit Kerala, and travel throughout the State for about 10 days reveals your commitment to pay back something at least, to the motherland.
Once again, I Wish you all the Best.
Please send me your profile - for my record and particularly for passing it on to
the people, who would be interested in your abilities.
Please do spare sometime to visit:
www.archive.org and kindly search for Prof. V. Viswanadham, for listening
to the live recordings; and
www.slideshare.net/viswanadham for viewing my PPTs.
Please honour me with your feedback – so that I can further improve these things.
Please spare sometime and do give a reply.
With admiration and regards,
Yours sincerely,
Viswam

Sir
Interesting weekend I had - UGC tips, Life tips, thinking tips. Thank you for the insights as much for the ideas on how to crack this test. About 10 years ago, a Brahmin Commodore and wife in our neighbourhood told me about the veggies being better than meat and fish theory. I didn't give much thought to it, though I hated cruelty on animals. Few years ago, I became veg. cos of my love for animals, but then dropped it due to the 'taste' factor. After your explanation, I think I'll go back to being veg!
Take care.

priyappetta sir,
i think, knowledge makes a human more wise. same time, it never assure humanity. for modern education is like some sort of data collection. it gives accuracy. in ur case also. u learned a lot. including study of the mind. yet u waste ur energy on nair samajams. i wonderd when i saw somany of that kind in ur orkut page. i beleive these organisations which rule the religions neither help God nor human.
as u said ppl mainly discuss their problems [u r a therapist whom they can share their troubled minds]. me too have problems.
but i don think anyone else can help it out. coz, i know my problems better than anyone. problem, its not OTHER, but me !
you can help me to know things in general. which helps me in my solitary struggle.
whtever i do as a social being, think write discuss make films , its part of a mission and vission. "loka samastha sukhino bhavanthu" ennalle. efforts to preserve innocence, coz i think world needs it . a lot..
come to kerala. settle in thrissur. my suggestion.

Dear Dr. T P Sasi Kumar,
My name is Dileep. I am from Payyannur, Kerala. I have been thinking of writing to you at least for a few months for now. I happened to see various resources about your lectures, books and thoughts in the internet. I am so much impressed with your positive outlook toward almost everything in life. The time and effort you are taking to get this message across the youth is quite remarkable. I thank you from my bottom of my heart.
From my personal side, I did my schooling from Tagore Vidyanikethan Taliparamba (like you did and hence you are my high school senior). BSc. Chemistry from Payyannur College, MSc. Biochemistry from Poona University,spend some time at the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore before joining for PhD in Biochemistry at The Ohio State University. Currently I am doing a Post Doctoral research at the Columbia University New York.
Sincerely,

Dear Shri Dr. T.P. Sasi Kumar Sir,

In this regard, I would like to say that your speech regarding Nair Community and other major issues is very much apprecitiable also this will help to make inspiration between our community members. I once again grateful for your kind useful information and motivation given to the NSS members through this occasion .

Dear Sir,
Hello!
It was a brilliant lecture on 16th at Ayappa Shetram!
But how much i implement it- is a question! The day i went home after it was over i promised myself never to get angry unnecessarily at my 13 year old son. But the first thing i saw was that he was watching TV instead of studying and all my promises went into drains and i started firing him, but i m hopeful that i can change myself -but slowly!!
Thanks once again, to let us know that we can be happy and make others happy with our small gestures.

Dear Sir,
I was going through the topic 'Exam Preparations' which came in your blog. It was so touching as I have been a student who scored less marks during my school days and thus my confidence decreased. I did my Btech in LBS, Trivandrum where I was not good at studying thus failing in many exams.
It was after my marriage that my husband, Sreejith Pulloor motivated me to study and now I am proud to say that I am doing my MS (sometimes I can believe it ) in Germany .
I feel every parent should read your blog and incorporate in life.
EXAM Preparations – Points for the Students
1. Don't worry about the exam. Failing is never a problem.You can write the exam again In a long life of more than 60 years, one year is not a long period. Next year you have to learn more, so why not now?
2. Not all those who have good marks have a wonderful life. People who have scored less mark in their exams have also grown well in life. You could improve later, regardless of past, then why not now?
I saw your latest photos in orkut. Guruvayoorappan ambalathil vachatattu anno ?? My achan, E.M Neelakandhan is a Sectretary of that temple.
We have been associated with that temple since its formation. We used to live in MAyur Vihar and then moved to Patparganj.
I always wonder Sir, how do you get time to reply to all your mails and orkut scraps inspite of this busy schedule.
Thank you Sir

Now that you have made up your mind to quit Govt.job, can I open my mind? Let me first of all tell you that I am not an outsider. Very much your mother, though intellectually may not be up to your mark, definitely one with you emotionally and spiritually. People will call you a fool, for; they are seeing monetary benefits above all. But Sasi, we all have just one life. Live as you want your life to be. Amma is pretty sure that you can do wonders. Sasi..
We had never met, talked or exchanged ideas before. Again during chats when you insisted on saying that ‘I will be with you’, rather than ‘see you’ I knew the bond that developed between us. Your plainness, frankness, child like smile, sincerity, affection, all drew me closer to you day by day. Hardly three months passed before we were too close. Not a long period for a relationship to be this strong. I attribute it to previous births. Now I am here to tell you that I will be with you in success and in failure, health or ill health, poverty or in prosperity. Call/write when you need some one to share. When in distress, in pain, in pinks or in blues, I am here, promise. Sasi.. I draws around 35000/ month, hardly can I spend more than say 6000. You can always share finance too. Rather you have the right. Never ever feel left out or lonely, I will be with you.

Namastey,
Sasi gaaru,
How are you and family members? I was watching your profile on orkut and felt very happy about how many are sprouting their inner selves in your guidance.
I am good and working on my inner and outer self too. I am in US and planning to do CPA. This mail is mainly written seeking your guidance about my father in law.
My Father in Law is a retired school teacher and when he was working he never had time for anything, he was always busy and dedicated for his profession, he is a kind of individual that he never went late to his office and once he apologized to the principal voluntarily for being late.
When he retired he suddenly became free and some unplanned trip came by and he went for India tour. Then he saw all pilgrimage places, he never remembered saluting god in his whole life. He felt the bliss of devotion in his heart after this trip and overwhelmed with this Bhakti. From then he changed completely.
Well this whole story is written to tell you about his back ground. Well the problem is he is confused. Because of those innumerable thoughts, doubts bombarded all of a sudden he got confused and he started to feel like he wasted all his life. 24hrs of the day he got only one thought, to do something now. He is depressed and confused and tells thousand things he wants to do. He is old and fragile person. But the spirit is as young as it can be. He takes classes for poor kids but still not contended.
His family members, wife, sons and daughter don't understand him; his sudden spiritual urge has become a headache to them. To them God is a tradition or a formality and nothing else.They don't appreciate it and try to discourage him in every possible way. Insults making fun of his words etc.. He is in spiritual depression and feels like running away.
I want to help him, I want to send him to any spiritual workshop or ashram for few days or months so that he could recover and could able to handle his gift even in severe protest and could stay stable.
I have no idea about what to do and where to send. Please guide me on how to handle this situation and details about any place which can help him. As I am away from India it has become difficult for me to handle this.
I hope I am not giving you any trouble writing this big mail. I really appreciate your valuable words.

Really a good personality. Best Speaker.
I first met him in a Makarasancrathi Pooja at Hastsal, Delhi.
He was our Chief Guest.Spoke to him a few words. Really great. An ocean of Knowledge, We arranged several programms after that , again several speaches.
When you hear him you realise, how much you have to learn from him.
He may be leaving Delhi By the end of September.
But we will not let him go. Will call him again & again !

Am very good at theoretical subjects but not at practical things. Am finding my job also to be difficult unable to do it. It’s tough for me. Unable to take it. This is my first job. Can you please guide me in this?

talking to you boosts the spirits. reading your peotry is doing a
exercise to know how deep you are. enjoying reading the peoms. the
other book, i could not get the reason why to choose to differ the
printing to right than left margin. trying to understand that, my
standard is not sufficient.
I wish to help you in writing your autobiography, as you are one
unique person i met with no match with others in this world.

Dear Dr. Sasikumar,
It was such a pleasant surprise to have received your mail attaching
conference announcement and budget details so soon after your initial
mail to Swamiji indicating your interest in SRSG’s lab project. I have
immediately forwarded your mail to Swamiji who is in the middle of a
retreat program in the United States. He has acknowledged your mail and told me
that he should react as soon as he has some breathing space.
Personally, I want to compliment you, Dr. Sasikumar, for this excellent
first draft proposal done with the fantastic speed and the real precision
and details of a scientist.
I am happy that a person of your sincerity, devotion and dedication is
there to join our family and the team of volunteers.
Regards,
Prakash Dixit
29th July 2005
My Dear Dr Sasikumar
I am thrilled to receive your letter and must thank Veena Maitra for helping establish this connection between us.
I adore the people of high and clear vision as demonstrated in your own suggested plans. I have no doubt with your background of clear thinking in Science and your administrative experience in prestigious establishments of space research, you have a natrual effectiveness to bring visions to reality.
Your thought of a conference on science and spirituality is right out of my heart: the questions are
1) What are the material resources needed
2) The office personnel - who would do the organizing of volunteers, etc
3) when would be a good time to hold such a conference so there is ample time to organize the same.
4) There always comes a question of paying airfares, train fares, etc for internation, domestic presenters and disussants.
I am sending a copy of this correspondence both to Veena Maitra and to Dr Prakash Dixit, retired scientist who has served in many countries and is now managin director of our Ashram.
As I am travelling and lecturing internationally, as well as taking care of the daily affairs of my international network of small and serious (not so well endowed) network of meditation groups, with its many 24-hour burdens, I would prefer that the proficient organizers like yourself, Veenaji and Dixitji discuss the above four ponts amongst yourselves and just command me as to what service I need to render -- when and where.
I will be at my Ashram 25 Oct - 30 Nov, 2005; Dec 16 - Jan 8, and Feb 25 - April 30, 2006.
Wishing you success in your chosen field and sending a blessing for your family members.
Yours in service of Gurudev,
Swami Veda Bharati

Rohini ONAM lecture
I am fortunate and privileged to have been able to meet with you at the function organised yesterday in Rohini by the Malayali Samajam.

About being better
The other day when our teacher told us that we were supposed to attend a seminar, all of us groaned in unison. Our teacher told us that a scientist was going to talk to us. That left us completely nonplussed. Why in the world would a scientist talk to art students like us? What do we have in common afterall? What can he tell us?
Our teacher gave us no more time to think and we were asked to be in the auditorium sharp at 12.30 pm. "Oh no! Isnt that our lunch break...ugh! we'll have to finish it off in half an hour. And then no roaming around. One hour recess spoiled!", we spoke among ourselves. Nevertheless, at sharp 12.30, all assembled in the auditorium and tried occupying the back rows so that we could easily doze off or play hang man, if the lecture turned out to be boring. But to our dismay, the back rows had already been occupied. We were the last to troupe in. So we solemnly took our seats in the front!
Dr T P. Sasikumar arrived a few minutes later and after a welcome speech by one of our teachers whom he knew( the one who organised the whole thing), the mike was thrown to the scientist of the DOS. All I can say is, I did not realize how time flew by.
This man is truly a wonder. He broke the stereotypical image of a scientist I had(like most of us have). He wore perfect clothes, his hair was not unkempt at all, he wore glasses but not those mad looking ones, he was not muddled up about anything and most importantly he did not have the air of a natural scientist(the stereotypical air I spoke about earlier). Who would say his CV extends to some 20 pages, that he is one heck of an intellectual, a genious?
We were in for a surprise! He began very casually, skilfully making an impact at the same time. He established a rapport with the large audience in a few minutes time and spoke with the flair of a born orator. The subject of the seminar was "being better" and the motto of the day, as he said was, "No Problem". He spoke about how life has to be enjoyed to the maximum since its so short. He talked about death so casually, that you could do nothing but laugh. Yes! He made death sound so funny!
He spoke of the various chances that life gives us and how we should make the most of it. "Faith is somethign that you must never lose", he said, "as life always gives you chances. No big deal if you fail your exams. You can write them next year! No big deal if you dont find get a particular job. You can always find another job! No big deal if you are not getting married. If you are married, well, all I can say is that you are trapped. If you are not married, then yes, you have the honour of finding the right one!"
This was the way he made clear his motto, "No Problem!" He said that happiness is what every human being wants. But the truth is that it lies within ourselves. We just have to find it. No one needs to tell you if you are good or bad. You need to know it yourself. What should matter most is one's own satisfaction. Nothing else.
It was truly an experience in itself to listen to a spiritually, intellectually elevated person. I, as a rule resent talks, seminars or classes, where one is told how to live a good life. But this, was truly different. He spoke like one among us and the session turned out to be lively and interesting. We did not even look at our watches while the lecture was going on (let alone dozing off). It was only when he mentioned that the time was 2.15, that we realized that he had kept us engaged for 1 hr and 45 mins. We wished he would never stop and go on speaking....but alas! a scientist is a scientist afterall, with numerous things on his agenda!
I am full of admiration for him after that class and he sure has a huge fan following now! That I dedicated a blog on this should sum up my views on the talk and more improtantly the man who delivered it! :)
