Your knowledge is endless...

Dear Chitra,

Thanks for yet another enlightenment. I use "Om" very frequently in my prayers. To see the fundamental significance of "Om", its so refreshing. Henceforth, all my utterance of Om will be done with its complete understanding ! I took a little time to write to you, as I wanted to read the post again and again to fully understand the essence of your post ! I still have a long way to go to get to understand or "thaathparyam" and the explanations of many spiritual facts at the very first go ! I am still a leaner and am learning many things from you. Thanks Chitra, for imparting all that knowledge about spirituality in me !

Love,
Preethi

P.S : The fact that you took the effort to get the floral decoration of OM done at Madurai, while you were looking after your mom, for the IL members, shows your dedication and involvement with this community ! Hat's off to you for your commitment with IL Chitra. Your commitment is the key to our closeness with you and our adoration for you !

Hari Aum Hari Aum!

Yes Chitra, I am here at last. I hope you don't mind my delayed fb and knowing you, I am sure you would have understood my predicament. Now...
I have been wanting to read your contributions here and did not want to rush through it. I too have heard explanations about OM, but reading your words on it was refreshing. From the time I got to know that Om is really Aum and it is good to pronounce all the three sounds, I make a conscious effort to do that everytime I recite Aum.
But honestly, I don't know which to praise more...your write up on Aum or the pictures, especially the floral one. The floral Aum was a feast to eye and like said here, I could almost smell the mayakkum malligai and rojappoo vasanai! Now please explain Chitra, is it you who discovers all this beauty and talent around you or do the beauty and talented seek you out???!!! Whatever, we are the fortunate here for being at the receiving end of all your kindness.
Enjoyed all of it. Thank you. I am sure to repeat this floral decor with any florals available here at some future occassion.
