Meena Mangalathil:

Hey Guys There is one thing that is very good to know in the bible regarding the life of Jesus, there is no mention of his adolescent age, his youth, his growing period as man. What does that mean? Simple, the rest is left to you. Your decision, your plans, your experiences. But whatever it is, it is solely your responsibility. It is made by you, all the circumstances you are currently facing. Its like the rising and setting sun, the plant growing and dying. Its a cycle, if you do something, you will have to face the consequences good or bad. So now Jesus comes in front of the public at the age of late 20s and early 30s. He didn't just get out of His house and started His work. He prayed on the hill top for 40 days without food and filled Himself with the Spirit of God, by baptising Himself in the river Jordan, then He started his public life. Now, that's trouble!!!! Imagine all the people, either on the mountains or dipping themselves in the river before any ventu

Hey Guys As I always say, to start at the beginning is more easier to understand than barging in between.  This is the continuation of the previous posts, so if you want to understand the head and tail of what I am saying please do read the previous posts heading Bible - Man's Users Manual I was actually planning to do this as a book, but I thought that if there are any criticisms and ideas of yours, I can incorporate in these posts and in the end make it as a book because you guys are also part of the universe that God has created and you are an integral part for my growth and the growth of the Universe, so its essential to accept and respect you as you are. "Blessed are the children, whose parents guide them to God."  As children, we are not aware of  the spiritual aspect of our existence. But every parent has a duty to guide their children to the Creator. Jesus' Parents also did the same, whatever religion they followed, they made sure Jesus also

Hey Guys!!! This is the continuation of the previous post, so if you want to understand the head and tail of what I am saying please do read the previous posts heading Bible - Man's Users Manual from the beginning. Now Jesus was born and seeing His situation, we feel, He is going to starve. Actually He was born in a Cow Shed and still the Kings came, the shepherd's came. The best part is, all were informed by an external force, the Angels for the shepherd and the Star for the Magis, which is above all human knowledge and thought,  they all came bearing gifts and the gifts that the Kings brought would take care of Jesus and His family without any impoverishment for His entire lifetime and much more and the lambs from the shepherds for the daily needs. Do you know what that means? There would be people who would be brought for our express needs and our needs are taken care of no matter where we are born, how we are born or to whom we are born - our daily needs as

Dear Friends Before starting, I would like to know why we are here in the first place and why we are taking the life of Jesus as our User's Manual Do you think, that Jesus- The Son of God, should be born at all? No.  Ans :- God promised Adam that He will reinstate Man to the garden of Eden and be with God, where there are no mediators only Man & God. Now it is the duty of man to follow exactly what God says to return back to Him. And that is why Jesus was born, to show us the way to God, to Eden. That is why Jesus told, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."  That is why we are using Jesus life as our Users manual to reach the Garden of Eden.  Believe Me, its not Easy!!!  Back to the Explanation :- So now, we know that even before the parents of Jesus were married, Jesus was conceived without any physical involvement or in any physical sense with Mary by anyone. That means, we  too

Hey guys!!! Life is different  for each and every one - The rich, the poor, man, woman, sick, healthy, young, old, etc..etc... etc... All are unhappy with their circumstances Have you wondered why? Well, since I have my own set of mind, idling around, I couldn't find any answers to that complicated question.  So the answer struck me when I bought a watch for my son. The first thing he did was, he started reading the users manual. I for one, was shocked.  For me, watch is just for looking time and well for setting the alarm. So, I asked my son, why are you reading the users manual? the shopkeeper has already explained to you in great detail, how it works. So why bother with this book?  shaking his head  he replied, "Mom, he just gave me a general idea, but if I have to show my friends why I bought this watch, I should know its very best features, and in the Users Manual,  the makers specify it in a clear cut way. If we follow it by the book, it will last long and wi

Hey Guys!!!! I happened to read in one brochure, Oldness can be loneliness. Do you think so? For me, I don't. I have always wondered that old age is the best time to be peaceful and quiet. If you have a family, who is OK with caring their elderly parents or family members, then oldage is the best time. Well if there isn't a family, then too, its the best time!!!! There is one thing you should remember, we cannot make anybody happy with our good actions and intentions, but we can make ourselves happy, right? So do what is right and be happy, whether you are young or old. Now consider I am also old, I make my old age happy by 1. Just zipping my mouth shut. No free advice, unless asked. - Each word is more powerful than a two edged sword. It can hurt not only the other person but also myself. So its better to shut up most of the time and save myself from heart break!!!! That's my policy   Free Advice :- Anywhere in the world, whether you are young or old,  you wi

Hey Friends Its so long since I spoke to you. These past days, I got to speak to many mothers and about motherly behaviours. As I grew up, instead of one mother, I had several mothers, which in a way, helped me mould to become a very good mother.(Well!!!! I should respect myself, shouldn't I?), but that doesn't mean we have left out fathers. Fathers, are an integral part of the family, so I am not focusing on any one parent, we say with one word - Parents So why should we respect or honour our Parents? Reasons :- They helped us bring us to this world They did not throw us on the street or put in orphanages, when we were just babes. They gave food to eat  They bought clothes and clothed us They gave us education and helped us become a good citizen  They loved us no matter what wrong we have done They cared us when we were sick or frightened They showed the world for us They spent their money for us, when they could have used for personal needs In India, the

Hey Guys!!!!! Just check this video, there are lots of questions answered from the real masters. So that there are something for you, that brings a marked difference.

Hey Guys!!!! Its our duty and our destiny to make our presence known by helping others. But do we have the chance to do it other than the stray kind words, a helping hand, a small amount of cash and loads of smile, love, tears and hugs. Is it sufficient? Not all people have the privilege to have bank balances,  Not every person has the educational qualification to earn a five figure amount, forget about six figures Not every person has the capital to invest in big businesses, forget about international business in more than 150 countries Not every person has the acumen to do business. I am a travel agent, I have seasons for my business and during the off season, I will have to ensure that I have a backup money to sustain my expenses and imagine the strain to live during this scarcity. I needed a regular income, where I earn according to the time invested, energy invested and without much money or to be frank with no money to invest. Well, we all expect that one day w

Hey Guys!!!! I hope you all are doing fine. Sorry, I am not regular in writing, remember, its not by choice. Two days back, while I was walking towards my office in the morning, I was passing a school. There were some parents, talking with each other (they had come to drop their kids to school). So there was a kid, approximately 3 years old, who was looking upside down,  (see the picture below) And I looked at the spectacle which the toddler was looking which we regularly see on Indian roads, mother goat feeding its kid. It really made me think, when did I last stopped to look at what I have around me and I can say - NEVER. Its not because we do not see, its because we are taking everything for granted, we leave behind the simplicity of life for resolving the difficult problems of life - AMASSING WEALTH. But remember, simple things are the ones that help to solve the very basic necessity of life - happiness, love, peace and contentment. All the rest will be taken care of

Never!!!!! That is a basic truth for all human beings. We cannot fulfill others expectations. Its not your or my fault. Its the basic way of things. But are we able to fulfill our expectation? I would say Yes. One wonders why? Well, its easy, when it comes to fulfill others expectation, the deciding factor is others or themselves, some guys are really perfectionist and if they are our measuring markers. Believe me, "We are Doomed!!!!" Anyway, I would say, its really good, that we are compared with the best and in the long run, we tend to measure ourselves with that standard, thereby raising ourselves to that stage and striving for that perfection. Can I say one thing? I would rather say, do not put a marker for your standard. Marker restricts you to only a certain standard, you can go above that, for sure. Isn't it good news!!!! As I am saying this markers and expectations and standards, I feel like I am talking about a marathon, with lots of markers, sta

Dear Guys Today, I had a very sad experience, when I came face to face with separation of one of my best friends. You know, that is when we feel that nothing is predictable, Remember, "The moment we have now is the best moment and it doesn't necessarily last".  Each word, each action, each attitude do count in the long run, when we create our own destiny. But we tend to forget that in the long run, the destiny is created with many others tagging along. In short, our  destiny do have a greater impact on others than to us. The destiny starts with Words falling from our mouth. I will give an experience of mine. My children, I have two. They are very arrogant, some times, I really hate that when they show it to me and I do not tolerate when they show that attitude. Once, it so happened, that my younger son, said something arrogantly to me and Bang!!!! I  smacked him right on his mouth. (In India, we parents have the privilege to both pamper and punish o

Hey Guys!!!! I am continuing from where I left yesterday. I had requested you to just let yourself give a break from your  and let whatever thoughts come, to pass it through you, right? And have you tried? What did you feel? Well, I will say it for you, your mind will be a junk yard in a moment,  am I right? I will give an example, yesterday, I had an experience where one client asked me, whether there is any chance of getting one room for three days in a specific hotel and when I checked there weren't any availability. So, I said, no, its not available and they left immediately and I didn't feel sad or odd. But after a few minutes, my mind worked, "Hey Meena, you could have proposed another hotel and for a best price too, and then the thoughts started swirling around, if I had done that, it would have been better, if I had thought about it this way, then I could have another business, etc...etc.. a 101 questions went unanswered. Do you know what the ending wa

Hey Guys!!!!! Today, I have not done any work set for me. You might think, what I did?  nothing, just wasted my time, that is all. But did I? I do not think so, but if you look in the sense of work, yes, but as a human being, we are entitled to just be idle or just be there for us, for me. I have only myself for me. If I cannot spare my own time for me, then who will? So, here I am watching a very romantic Bollywood movie and smiling like a joker, crying like a crypot and I do not regret it even for a moment. I remember once when for the first time, when my dad taught us to swim, it was like fighting the water with legs and hands and hearts and strength. Once, when I got the feel of it, it was just a matter of enjoying it with caution. Everyone knows life is to be lived, but that doesn't mean always we should live productively, its just letting go off the leash of oneself and get a breather, where you do not have to decide, just let it be.  It is at that time, we open our

Dear Guys, You might think, why all these formalities. Well, to become an owner of a firm or anything is not an easy thing, they have the courage to take a risk, along with that, they tend to help lots of life for the people who are not lucky to own even a spare of cloth without working. And work, its not easy to find. In this scenario, to own a work force can be had by only a select few. But the attitude of the workers can discourage the mentality of the owners.  Naturally, they get hard hearted to the working class and just focus on making their venture a success. But these are all not I want to talk. No single person has the same experience as the next person, but the feeling generated will be the same because that is the basic oneness of humanity - the soul. Now, we are again deviating from the topic of what I wanted to say. Today, I do not know why, I happened to meet one of my colleagues, who happened to resign from her job. You know, in India, its a very big decision

Hey Guys!!! I would like to speak about Fear. You know, fear of darkness, thunderstorms, stray dogs, etc...etc... I had all these and much more, I was not aware of it until one fine morning, a very old priest of my father's acquaintance took my pulse and said, "Mr. Mathew, your daughter is a frightened kid. It would be advisable, if you could give her juice of Naruneendi ( Hemidesmus indicus) . It is actually an ayurvedic medicine, which had no taste but some taste, I cannot explain the flavour of the taste. I had consumed two bottles, before returning to the boarding school. As time passed, I was wondering, did the medicine really work? And I would say, not really. I had all the fear which I had before but there was one difference, I was aware of it. When the fear raises its head in me, I would know and analyze it, "with fear, will the problem in front of me get solved?" "No" "Then what is the point in fearing?, just face the problem and

You know, 90% cases, reported  for marriage break ups is Faithlessness. Like cheating on your spouse, having an affair with another person, etc....etc.... Why does it happen? Well, to know that we will have to check on the basic fact about oneself. It is all connected with the person Me (in your case, its You) What is faith? Its the belief of what one have of oneself, of God or of others. It is usually a positive belief, only good things. And it usually filled within the heart & mind so tightly that there would not be an iota of doubt. Now, when we have a small speck of doubt in our belief, it becomes the truth and we find ourselves facing this doubt, just like looking in a mirror. I will give an example, you have been invited for a big party and you want to look the very best, but, as the days get closer, you get to get tensed, thinking of all the possible mishaps like a small pimple on the face or a car break down or whatever usual fears and lo behold!!! exactly
