    Hari Aum, Seena !

    I am very happy that you enjoyed my article.
    Positive energy is a vast subject. I will give a "mini" outline.
    Energy cannot be seen physically, but still exists. Sometimes, when some body visits you, you feel so nice & comfortable.That means they radiate positive energy. Whereas, if some people leave your house after a visit, you feel relieved & happy ! They radiate negative energy ! There is a lot more to it.
    Thankyou for the F B , my dearest Seena !
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.

    Hari Aum, Radha V !

    Fresh flowers have a lot of positive energy & that is why they have given you so much of viewing pleasure !
    I will give you just an outline.
    Aum, Swastik symbols, kolam with kavi at the entrance, fresh flowers in water, a beautiful lamp all usher positive energy.
    Dirty & ill kept rooms, footwear kept at the entrance, angry words, harsh words etc give negative energy.
    In short, happiness radiates positive & sadness, sickness, irritability etc give negative energy.
    Thankyou for the nice F B, Radha !
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.

    Dear ChitVish,

    The writeup on Aum is very neat and concise. The floral "Aum" is beautiful, could you please tell me what leaves form the green part?

    Both the writeup and the Floral Aum are amazing pieces of work.

    Thanks!
    Vidya

    Hari Om Dear Chitra,

    Neat explanation and beautiful pictures. Oh I miss mallipoo. I can smell them from your pictures. Good piece of artwork. Convey it to Chitra. Chitra you are one example of positive energy you radiate that when I interact with you. In fact I am visiting your old posts regularly to understand them well.
    Love,

    Hari Aum, Vidya !

    Your feed back is so sweet.
    If I remember right, it is vibhoothi pachilai. I got swastik, pillayar, sivalingam , lotus etc done in flowers ! A few general kolams as well.
    Anyway if it is a different ilai, I will write to you.
    Thankyou for the post, Vidya.
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.

    Hari Aum, Radha M !

    You make me feel so happy with your kind words. I cannot get a better compliment than being compared to positive energy !
    As you write, Madurai malli is incomparable. Near Mylapore Nilgiris, there is one boy who sells it everyday. I buy regularly for my Madurai Meenakshi picture ( which I posted for tamil new year) & a " killu" to adorn my koondal !!
    Meenakshi & me belong to Madurai - so, special for both of us !!
    Thankyou, Radha, for the F B.
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.

    Dear Chitra,

    Well written article on AUM.....it is a great topic and has so many meanings and explanations, ..it is always good to read about it. Like u said, positive energy vibrates everytime we hear this word....and it sounds so peaceful when we utter it slowly and loudly.....the vibrations always make me feel at peace.
    And that was craetive of you to get those kolams done and to post it for our viewing /virtual pleasure.....thanks for always thinking of us and giving so much, :clap

    Hari Om!

    Hari Aum, Priyae !

    Honestly, I started wondering, whether you missed out on this post, knowing your promptness !
    The credit for the floral aum goes to the other Chithra !
    Thankyou for your F B, Priya.
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.
