A 3 year old child came into the center with natural feeling of wishing us in namaskaram posture.

A special child took each animal model and wanted to say out the name and he tried.

New bull idol was placed in the center and we wish to see how children react with the object.

I was strong in conveying that one staff and 1 helper must be inside the school before 9 A.M. Today a senior helper and a staff are late in coming which is not acceptable. It is very easy to make them to sign with timing and it is not our culture.

An infant around 1.5 year calmly took the books and explored. Children came, wished the teachers and they were exploring the objects. There is a calm environment.

Few children were much involved in answering the comprehending session.

Few were playing and few were totally observing.

After the show teachers have presented the natural art form of Tamil Nadu – villu paattu. This is being used to convey the drama of sea corals and their uses.

First I appreciate the teachers for choosing a vanishing art form.

Then I appreciated them for making few children who can focus well to take part in the performance.

The language was good and clearly conveyed.

But I suggest this for a small group.

Children observed very well.

Friday poojas to Devi

Each object used for sacred bath was given a very simple meaning and related with the child.

Decoration and poojas were also related with the child.

But some children are naughty and we need to be aware about it.

வணக்கம் இன்று (12-02-2016) நடக்கவிருந்த PUP வகுப்பு வரும் திங்கட்கிழமைக்கு ஒத்திவைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. காரணம் பொங்கலுார் ஸ்ரீராமதுாதசேவை மையத்தினால் பிரதிமாதம் இரண்டாம் வெள்ளிக்கிழமையன்று ஆதரவற்ற குழந்தைகளுக்கு  உணவு வழங்கும் நாளான இன்று அனைவரும் ஒன்றுசோ்ந்து வீட்டிலேயே சமைத்த சத்தான உணவை பெண்குழந்தைகளுக்கு பாிமாரினா். இன்று இவ்வூரில் N.N புதுார் நியாயவிலைக்கடையில் பணிபுரியும் பணியாளா் இக் குழந்தைகளுக்கு இனிப்பு மற்றும் பழத்தின் செலவை ஏற்றுக்கொண்டாா்.அவருக்கு எங்களது மனமார்ந்த நன்றி.Click Hear

ஓம் நமச்சிவாய வணக்கம் இன்று (11.02.2016) PUP வகுப்பில் டாக்டா் மாதேஸ்வரன் அவா்கள் எடுத்த பாடம் என்னவென்றால். கணவன்,மனைவி இருவரும் அவரவருடைய ஆசைகளினால் சுயநலமாக நடந்துகொள்கின்றனா் இதனால் பாதிக்கப்படுவது அவா்களின் குழந்தைகளே. இதனை யாரும் சிந்திப்பதில்லை. இதற்க்கு மேற்க்கிந்திய கலாச்சாரம் புகுதல், தொலைக்காட்சி மற்றும் திரைப்படம் காரணமாக அமைகிறது. மேலும் தனது அனுபவத்தால் சில குழந்தைகளுக்கு ஏற்பட்ட நிலையும் அவா்களின் மன வேதனையையும் தெரிவித்தாா். இதற்க்கு தீர்வு விட்டுக்கொடுத்து வாழவேண்டும். ஒவ்வொரு விசயத்திலும் தியாகத்துடன் நடந்துகொள்ள வேண்டும். தனக்காக இல்லாவிட்டாலும் தனது குழந்தைகளுக்காவது பொறுத்துக்கொண்டு அமைதியாக இருக்க வேண்டும் . அதற்காக நியாயமான காரங்களுக்காக அநீதியை சுட்டிக்காட்ட வேண்டும் என்று அவருக்கே உரிய பக்குவத்தில் அழகாக எடுத்துரைத்தாா். இவரது கருத்தை அனைவரும் ஒருமனதாக ஏற்றுக்கொண்டோம்.

இதில் எங்களது வகுப்பில் கலந்துகொண்டிருந்த ஒருவா் “தனக்கும் அப்படி ஒரு நிலமை ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. அதனால்தான் எனது குழந்தை பொறுப்பில்லாமல், தனது பேச்சை கேட்காமல் நடந்துகொள்கிறதோ?” என உணா்ந்து கண்ணீா்விட்டு அழுதா்ாகள் (இது உண்மை).

இந்த PUP வகுப்பில் ஒருவா் தன்னுடைய தவறை உணா்ந்து அழவைத்த எங்கள் அண்ணா டாக்டா் திரு.மோ.மாதேஸ்வரன் அவா்களுக்கும் இதற்கு காரணமான சக்திபௌண்டேசனுக்கும் ஸ்ரீராமாதுாத சேவைமையத்தின் சாா்பாக கோடி நன்றிகளை தெரிவித்துக்கொள்கிறோம்.

ஐஸ் ஹவுஸ் எனப்படும் விவேகானந்தர் இல்லம்

மரீனா கடற்கரையில் இருக்கும் ஒரு அழகான கட்டிடம் தான் ஐஸ் ஹவுஸ்.இதை இன்று மக்கள் வி.இல்லம் அதாவது விவேகானந்தர் இல்லம் என்கிறார்கள். இன்று இது ராமக்ருஷ்ண மடத்தின் செயல்பாட்டு ஸ்தலமாக உள்ளது.

1749ல் மீண்டும் மதராஸை ஆங்கிலேயர் ஆளத் தொடங்கிய போது, அமேரிக்காவில் ட்யூடர் என்பவர் பாஸ்டன் நகரில் உறைபனிக் கட்டிடகளை விற்பனை செய்வதை அறிந்தனர் [Tudor ice company].மதராஸின் கொடுமையான வெப்பத்திக்கு வடிகால் தேடிய லண்டன் காரர்கள் ட்யூடரை மதராஸிலும் வாணிபம் செய்ய ஊக்குவித்தனர்.கொல்கத்தாவில் தன் ஐஸ் கம்பெனியை நடத்திய அவர் மதராஸில் இன்று இருக்கும் ஐஸ் ஹவுஸ் கட்டிடத்தில் தான் தன் உறைபனி மூட்டைகளை மரத்தூளுடன் கலந்து சேமித்து வைத்து வியாபாரம் செய்தார்.அதனால் இவ்விடம் ”ஐஸ் ஹவுஸ்” ஆனது.

ட்யூடரை மதராஸுக்கு அழைத்து வந்தவர் கம்பெனியின் அலுவலர்களில் ஒருவரான ஆண்ட்ரூ பான்க்ராஃப்ட்.

சுமார் 1800களில் எழுப்பப்பட்ட இக்கட்டிடம் அரசின் கட்டிடம் ஆகும். இதை சாந்தோம் கிடங்கு என்று அக்காலத்தில் அழைத்தனராம்.[Depot of Santhome] 1840ல் ஐஸ் ஹவுஸை ட்யூடர் வாடகைக்கு வாங்கி 1865 வரை வியாபாரம் செய்துள்ளார். [ஒரு கிலோ ஐஸ் கட்டி ஒரு அணா]

அதன் பின் ஹை கோர்ட் நீதிபதி பிலஹரி ஐயங்கார் இக்கட்டிடத்தை விலைக்கு வாங்கினார். ஜேம்ஸ் கெர்னன் என்ற கவர்னர் ஜெனரலின் பெயரிட்டு [Castle Kernan] அதைப் பராமரித்தார்.ஐயங்கார், ஸ்வாமி விவேகானந்தரின் முக்கிய சீடர்களுள் ஒருவர்.

சிகாகோ சென்று திரும்பும் வழியில் 1897ல் விவேகானந்தரைக் கொழும்பில் இருந்து ஐயங்கார் மதராஸுக்கு வரவேற்று ஐஸ் ஹவுஸில் தங்க வைத்து ஒன்பது நாட்கள் மக்களுக்கு ஆன்மீக சத்சங்கம் அளித்தாராம்.இத்தருணத்தில் தான் ஒரு நாள் அவர் திருவல்லிக்கேணி பார்த்தசாரதி கோயிலில் சொற்பொழிவு செய்துள்ளார்.அதன் தகவலை இன்றும் கோபுரத்தின் நுழைவாயிலில், வலது பக்கத்தில் காண்க.

அதன் பின் மதராஸில் விவேகானந்தரின் சீடர்கள் மூலம் இக்கட்டிடத்தில் அவர் காட்டிய ஆன்மீக சமூஹப் பணிகள் தொடங்கின, இன்று விவேகானந்தர் இல்லம் ஆயிற்று. அண்ணல் காந்தியை மஹாகவி பாரதியார் இங்கு தான் சந்தித்துள்ளார்.

வால் டேக்ஸ் ரோட்

1.9.1746

அதிகாலை நேரம், சாந்தோம் வழியாக சுமார் 600 வீரர்களுடன் ஃப்ரெஞ்ச் அதிகாரி டி லா போர்டனாயிஸ் திருவல்லிக்கேணி பார்த்தசாரதி கோயிலுக்குள் நுழைந்து கொண்டனர். அதன் பின் ஜார்ஜ் கோட்டை மீது தாக்குதல் நடத்த ஆரம்பித்தனர். அப்போது கிழக்கு இந்தியக் கம்பெனியின் போர்க் கப்பல்கள் கடலில் இல்லை.

தொடர்ந்து அவர்கள் கோட்டைமீதும் கறுப்பர் நகரம் எனப்படும் சென்னை மீதும் தாக்குதல் நடத்தினர்.ஊரையே காலி செய்யும் அளவுக்குத் தாக்குதல் நடந்தது.ஊர் சீர் கெட்டது. மேலும் கப்பல் மூலம் பீரங்கித் தாக்குதலும் நடந்தது. அதனால் ஆங்கில கவனர் பத்தாம் தேதி மதியம் கோட்டையை விட்டு வெளியேறி, தன் வாளை ஃப்ரெஞ்சிடம் தந்தார்.

கோட்டைக்குள் புகுந்து அனைவரையும் கைது செய்து, பல பொருள்களையும் கொள்ளை கொண்டு புதுவைக்குத் திருபியது ஃப்ரெஞ்ச் படை.சுமார் மூன்று ஆண்டுக் காலம் ஜார்ஜ் கோட்டையில் ஃப்ரெஞ்ச் கொடியே பறந்தது.அதன் பின் 1749ல் ஆங்கிலேயர் ஒரு மாபெரும் தாக்குதல் நடத்தி மீண்டும் கோட்டையைப் பிடித்தனர்.

மீண்டும் கறுப்பர் நகரத்தைப் புதுப்பித்த மக்களும் ஆங்கிலேயரும் அதைக் காக்கும் பொருட்டு ஒரு கோட்டைச் சுவற்றைக் கட்ட எண்ணினர்.அதற்காக மக்கள் தம் வருவாயில் இருந்து வரி தர வேண்டும் என்று ஆங்கிலேயர் சட்டம் கொண்டு வர அதை நம் ஊர் மக்கள் ஏற்கவில்லை. ”கோட்டையை விட்டவனுக்கு எதற்கு வரி?” என்று ஏளனம் செய்தனராம். கறுப்பர் நகரைச் சுற்றிக் கோட்டைச் சுவர் எழுப்ப ஆரம்பித்தனர், ஆனால் முழுவதும் கட்டப்படவில்லை. அது தான் இன்று வால் டேக்ஸ் சாலை.

நேஃபியர் பாலம்

1819ல் ஸ்காட்லேண்டில் பிறந்த ஃப்ரேன்ஸிஸ் நேஃபியர் பல மொழிகளை எளிதில் க்ரஹித்துக் கொள்ளும் திறன் கொண்டவர்.உயர்ந்த படிப்பு படிக்கா விடினும் அவரது சீரும் ஒழுக்கமும் நாணயமும் லண்டனை, அவரை மதராஸின் கவனர் ஜென்ரலாக நியமிக்க வைத்தது.[1866 - 1872 A.D]

பாவம் அவர் காலத்தில் மதராஸ் மாகாணத்தில் மிகக் கொடுமையான பஞ்சமும் பசியும் தலைவிரித்தாடின.

அவரது தோழி ஃப்ளாரன்ஸ் நைட்டிங்கேர்ளின் அறிவுரைப் படி அவர் மக்களுக்குப் பசி தீர்க்க வழி செய்தார்.

கூவம் ஆற்றின் முகத்வாரத்தின் அருகில் இருந்த நரி மேடு என்ற மணல் பாங்கான மேட்டை அகற்றினார், அம்மணல் கொண்டு சமன் செய்யப்பட்ட ஊரே மண்ணடி.

அதற்கான கூலியை மக்களுக்கு வழங்கினார்.மேலும் மரீனாவையும் ஜார்ஜ் கோட்டையையும் இணைக்கப் பாலம் எழுப்பினார்.அதுவே இன்று அழகிய ஆறு வளைவுகளுடன் கூடிய நேஃபியர் ப்ரிட்ஜ்.அதுவரை ஓடத்தில் தான் மக்கள் கூவத்தைக் கடந்தனர்.

வெறும் அன்ன தானம் செய்யாமல் உழைப்புக்கு ஏற்ற ஊதியம் தந்த அறிவைக் காண்க.

ஆனால் இன்று காணும் பாலம் 1869ல் எடுக்கப் பட்ட புகைப்படத்தில் இல்லை.வளையங்கள் அதில் இல்லை.பின்னர் கட்டப்பட்டன. சில புகைப்படங்களில் சதுர வடிவிலான பிடிகளையும் காண முடிகிறது.

ஆர்த்தர் ஹோப் என்ற ஆங்கிலேய அதிகாரி 1943ல் இப்பாலத்தினைச் சற்று விரிவாக்கினார்.

கூவத்தின் தூய்மை, மதராஸின் சுகாதாரம் ஆகியவற்றில் மிக மிக கவனமும் கண்டிப்பும் உடையவர் நேஃபியர்.இன்று இருந்திருக்கக் கூடாதா?

சுகாதாரம் - தூய்மை பற்றிய பயிற்சிகள் பெற தனிக்குழுவை அவர் லண்டனுக்கு அனுப்பினாராம்.அவருக்கு ஒரு சல்யூட்!

St.Thomas Mount - பரங்கி மலை

கி.பி 52ல் பாரத தேசத்தின் வடபகுதிக்கு வந்தார் ஏசுவின் மாணவருள் ஒருவரான புனித தாமஸ்.பின்னர் அவர் சேர தேசத்தின் தலைநகர் [இக்காலக் கேரளத்தின் கொடுங்கல்லூர்] வந்து மன்னனின் ஆதரவுடன் ஆன்மீகப் பணி செய்தார், மக்களின் மரியாதையைப் பெற்றார்.

அதன் பின்னர் அவர் தொண்டை தேசத்தின் துறைமுகப் பட்டிணமான திருமயிலைக்கு வருகிறார்.அங்கிருந்து ஆன்மீகப் பணியாற்றினார்.சைதைக்கு அருகில் உள்ள சின்னமலை மற்றும் பரங்கி மலைப்பகுதியில் அடிக்கடி தாமஸ் தவம் செய்வது வழக்கம், மக்களையும் அன்றைய ஆன்மீக அன்பர்களையும் பார்ப்பதும் வழக்கம்.

பரங்கி மலையில் அவர் பாரதக் கலாச்சாரத்தின் அடிப்படையில் புனித சிலுவையை வடிவமைத்தார்.அதைச் சாதி மத பேதம் இன்றி மக்கள் வணங்கினர் என்று கி.பி 13, 14 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டின் பயணிகள் குறிப்புகள் கூறும்.

அம்மலையில் அவர் உயிர் நீத்தார்.சிலர் அவர் கொல்லப்பட்டார் என்பர்.சிலர் அவர் ஒரு வேடனின் தவறான அம்பு எய்தலால் இறந்தார் என்பர்.

அவரது உடல் மயிலையில் சமாதி வைக்கப்பட்டு அதன் அருகில் தான் இன்றைய உலகப் புகழ் பெற்ற சாந்தோம் தேவாலயம் உள்ளது.

கி.பி 15ஆம் நூற்றாண்டில் போர்த்துகீஸிய மன்னரின் கட்டளையின் பேரில் பல யாத்ரீகர்கள் இம்மலையில் அகழ்வாய்வு செய்தனர்.அப்போது தாமஸின் கற்சிலுவை கிடைத்துள்ளது.அதில் சில துளி ரத்தம் இருப்பதாகக் கூறுவர்.

அச்சிலுவையை வழிபாட்டுப் பொருளாக்கி அவர்கள் அக்காலத்திலேயே ஒரு கிறிஸ்துவத் தொழுகை இடம் உண்டாக்கினர்.

மேலும் இன்று நவீனமான சர்ச்சுடன் கூடிய அமைப்பும் உள்ளது.அதில் உலகில் பல முக்கிய கிறிஸ்துவ ஆன்மீக அன்பர்தம் உடலின் சிறிய எலும்புகள் வைக்கப் பட்டுள்ளன.

புனிதர் லூக் வரைந்த குழந்தை ஏசுவுடன் கூடிய மேரி அன்னையின் வரைப்படமும் அவ்விடத்தில் உள்ளது.

சந்திரகிரி நாயக்க அதிகாரி இப்படத்தைத் தன் பூந்தமல்லி அரண்மனைக்குக் கொண்டு வரச்செய்து பார்த்த பின் மரியாதையுடன் பல்லக்கில் மலைக்கு அனுப்பியதாக வரலாறு பதிவு செய்கிறது.

மேலும் ஏசுவின் பிறப்பை எதிர் நோக்கும் கர்ப்பினியான அன்னை மேரியின் அழகிய மேற்கத்திய பாணிச் சிலையும் உள்ளது.

St.Thomas Mount எனப்படும் புனித தாமஸ் கால் பதித்த இம்மலை பாரத தேசத்தின் ஆன்மீக ஒறுமைப்பாட்டின் அடையாளம்.

* தாமஸ் பற்றிய பல்வேறு ஆய்வுகள் தனியே வெளியிடப் படுகின்றது.

மவுண்ட் ரோட்

பாரத தேசத்தின் மிக முக்கிய சாலைகளில் ஒன்று சென்னையின் அண்ணா சாலை. அதன் பெயர் மவுண்ட் ரோட். மவுண்ட் பேட்டனின் பெயரால் அது வழங்கியது என்பதில் ஏற்பு இல்லை.

கி.பி 52ல் பாரத தேசத்தின் தமிழத்துக்கு வந்தார் ஏசுவின் மாணவர் புனித தாமஸ்.அவர் மயிலையில் இருந்து ஆன்மீகப் பணியாற்றினார்.சைதைச் சின்னமலையிலும் பரங்கி மலையிலும் அவர் தவறாமல் பல முறை ஆன்மீகப் பணிகளைச் செய்துள்ளார்.

பரங்கிமலை தான் செயின்ட் தாமஸ் மவுண்ட். அன்றைய மதராஸப் பட்டிணத்தின் கடற்கரையில் இருந்து சுமார் 11 கி.மீ தூரத்தில் அமைந்துள்ள இம்மலையை அடையக் காலம் காலமாக மக்கள் பயன்படுத்திய நீண்ட சாலை தான் ஆங்கிலேயரால் ”மவுண்ட் ரோட்” எனப்பட்டது.

அடையாறு எலியட்ஸ் கடற்கரை

சென்னை மாநகரில் அடையாற்றில் உள்ள எலியட்ஸ் கடற்கரை மிகவும் புகழ் பெற்றது.தற்காலத்தில் அப்பகுதியில் தான் வேளாங்கண்ணி தேவாலயம், அஷ்டலக்ஷ்மி கோயில் மற்றும் அறுபடை வீடு முருகன் கோயில்கள் அமைந்துள்ளன. மேலும் அடிக்கடி பல கண்காட்சிகளும், ரோரல் ஸ்கேட்டிங் பயிற்சியும், களரிப் பயிற்சியும் இப்பகுதியில் ஏற்படுவதைக் காண்க.

கலாக்ஷேத்ரா, பெசன்ட் நகர், சாஸ்த்ரி நகர், ஆல்காட் பங்களா, தியோஸோஃபிகல் அமைப்பு ஆகியன அடையாறு கடல் ஓரம் அமைகின்றன.

ஹ்யூ எலியட்ஸ் - இவர் இந்தியாவின் கவனர் ஜென்ரல் லார்ட் மிண்ட்டோவின் தம்பி. இவர் மதராஸின் கவனராக இருந்தவர் [1812 - 1820 A.D].

இவர் இன்றைய அடையாறு கடற்கரையை ஒட்டிய பகுதியில் குடியிருந்தார்.அவரது மகன் எட்வேர்ட் எலியட்ஸ்.அவர் அடையாற்றுப் பகுதி மக்களுடன் வெகு இயல்பாகப் பழகினார், பல நன்மைகள் செய்தார்.ஆனால் பாவம் அவர் தன் 28வது வயதிலேயே இறந்தார்.

அடையாற்றுப் பகுதி வாழ் மக்கள் அவரது பெயரால் கடற்கரையை ”எலியட்ஸ் பீச்” என்றனர்.

கத்தீட்ரல் சாலை - கேப்பர் ஹவுஸ் கடற்கரையை இணைக்கும் சாலைக்கும் எட்வர்ட் எலியட்ஸ் சாலை என்ற பெயரை ஆங்கில அரசும் வைத்தது.

எலியட்ஸ் பீச்சில் உள்ள நினைவுச் சின்னம் - காஜ் ஷ்மித் மெமோரியல்

மணிரத்னத்தின் மெளன ராகம் படத்தில் மழைப் பாட்டில் நடிகை இந்த நினைவு மண்டபத்தில் ஆடுவார்.இன்று நம் ஊர் மக்கள் எவ்வளவு அசிங்கம் செய்ய முடியுமோ அவ்வளவும் செய்துள்ள அற்புதமான ஆங்கிலேயர் தம் நினைவுச் சின்னம் காஜ் ஷ்மித் மண்டபம்.

டிசம்பர் 30, 1930ல் அன்றைய மதராஸை மிகக் கொடுமையான புயல் மழை தாக்கியது.அப்போது துறைமுகத்துள் நுழைய இடமின்றி எலியட்ஸ் கடலில் நங்கூரம் இட்டு ஓய்வெடுத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தது ஒரு டேனிஷ் கப்பல்.

மாலுமி காஜ் ஷ்மித் கரையில் தன் குழுவுடன் தங்கியிருந்த போது தான் புயலால் மக்கள் அலைக்கழிக்கப் படுவதைக் கண்டார், பலரை அலைகள் கடலுள் இழுத்துச் செல்வதையும் கண்டார்.உடனே தன் குழுவுடன் இணைந்து பலரையும் காப்பாற்றிக் கரை சேர்த்தார்.ஆனால் அவர் கடலுக்குப் பலியானார்.

அவரது சேவையை நினைவு கூறிட ஆங்கில அரசும் மக்களும் எழுப்பிய மண்டபம் தான் இதுவாகும்.
