సంస్కృత భాష గొప్పతనం

 Palindrome విషయంలో అంగ్లేయులు 'Able Was I Ere I saw Elba' అనే వాక్యాన్ని గొప్పగా చెప్పుకుంటారు. ఈ వాక్యం ఎటునుంచి చదివినా ఒకే లాగే ఉంటుంది. దీని అర్థం 'ఎల్బాని చూసే మునుపు వరకు నేను సమర్ధుడిగనె ఉన్నానూ' అని. Elba అనేది ఒక వ్యక్థి పేరు. Ere అంటె మునుపు అనే అర్థం ఉంది.ఇది 17వ శతాబ్దం నాటి వాక్యమని చెబుతుంటారు. ఇదే గొప్పనుకుంటే 14వ శతాబ్దంలొనే దైవజ్ఞ్యసూర్య    పండితుడు  అనే ఆయన రామకృష్ణవిలోమ  కావ్యం రచించాడు. ఈ కావ్యం లో మొత్తం రమారమి 40 శ్లోకాలు ఉన్నయట.
మొదటి నుంచి చివరకు చదివితె రామాయణం, చివరి నుంచి మొదటికి చదివితె భారతం అవుతాయట.విడ్డూరంగా లేదూ ! మచుక్కు ఈ శ్లోకం చూడండి.

                   'తాం భూసుతా ముక్తి ముదారహాసం
                    వందేయతో లవ్య భవం దయాశ్రీ '
ఇదే వెనకనుంచి మొదటికి చూస్తె

                        ' శ్రీయాదవం భవ్యలతోయ దేవం
                         సంహారదాముక్తి ముతా సుభూతాం '
అవుతుంది

మొదటి శ్లోకం లో 'భూసుతా' అంటూ సీత ను గురించి , రెండవ దాంట్లో 'శ్రీయాదవం' అంటూ కృష్ణుని గురించి ప్రస్తావిస్తునట్లు అర్థమవుతూనే ఉంది. ఇక అర్థాల్లోకి వేలితే, 'దరహాసం చిందించే లవుని ప్రేమించే దయగల లక్ష్మి ఇన సీత ను నమస్కరించుచున్నాను ' అని మొదటి రెండు పదాల అర్థం. రెండవ దానికి , 'మంగళప్రదమైన ఆకర్షణ గలవాడైన కృష్ణుని గీత బోధ చెడును సమ్హరిస్తూ ప్రానప్రదమైనదని ' అర్థం.
ఎంతటి విన్యాసమో చూడండి.. ఇలా మొత్తం కావ్యం సాగుతున్దన్నమాట !!!

స్థూలంగా చూసిన , సూక్ష్మంగా చూసిన సంస్కృత భాష ప్రపంచ భాషలన్నిటి లోకి ఉన్నతమైనదని, భాషవేతల మాట ముక్త కంఠం తో పలకగలిగే నగ్నసత్యం.

కందగతి లో సాగే ఈ సంస్కృత పద బంధం చూడండి. ఎటునుంచి చదివినా ఒకేలాగా ఉంటుంది.
                           "సారస నయనాఘన జఘ
                            నారచిత రతార కలిక హర సార రసా
                            సార రసారహ కలికర
                            తారత చిరనాఘ జనఘ నాయనసరసా "
దీనిని నంది-ఘంటకవులు రాశారు. ఛందస్సు తప్పకుండా, ప్రాసలు పాటిస్తూ  సాగిన ఇటువంటి పదబంధాలను Palindrome అనే సరదా మాటతో పిలవగలమా !

ఇటువంటి భాషను , అటువంటి సాహితీ మూర్తులను చూస్తే ఎంతటివారికైనా సాష్టాంగ ప్రణామం చేయాలనిపిస్తుంది. ఏది ఏమైనా సంస్కృత భాష నాడిగా గల భారతీయతను పుణికి పుచుకున్న భారతీయులుగా మనమంతా ఎంతో గర్వపడాలి.

నా మాట :  సంస్కృత భాష గొప్పతనాన్ని చెప్తూ ఆంగ్ల భాష ఉపయోగించటం ఇష్టం లేక అంతా ఇలా తెలుగు లోనే రాసాను . ఎక్కడైనా అచ్చు  తప్పులు దొర్లితే క్షమించమని మనవి.

Belief - In - OneSelf ~~ SELF ESTEEM

The only Strength that drives you heights in Life is BELIEF IN YOURSELF- Having SELF ESTEEM.Every one will have their own opinion on self-esteem and the importnace of self-esteem.And yet the general understanding of the  meaning of self-esteem differs from one another. I wonder theres an association for self esteem .NASE - National Assosiation for Self Esteem.NASE believes self-esteem is "The experience of being capable of meeting life's challenges and being worthy of happiness."  The purpose of this organization is to fully integrate self-esteem into the fabric of American society so that every individual, no matter what their age or background, experiences personal worth and happiness.  Even The Art of Living Foundation , inspired by the programs of spiritual leader and humanitarian His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar offers programs to uncover the strength, peace, and joy that lie at the core of every human being.If you are a person with a healthy level of self-esteem, you will deal with the problems you encounter in a productive fashion without throughing yourself into unnecesary trouble and worries.



In each and evry step IN and OUT of our life we meet many challenges.Take on the challenge and you will be able to accomplish it only if you have will to make it.The Confidence in you makes you acomplish the challenge and prepares you to get ready for the next .Over time this adds up to a s
stronger self-image. We begin to believe we are worthy of happiness. That’s a very good place to be.

When we have low self-esteem, we do not have confidence in our ability to meet the challenges we face or the desire to undertake something that might appear difficult. Instead, we are fearful and unwilling to take the risks and steps necessary, even if we very much want to.Then we try to find out reasons to avoid it thinking about the risks it may cause and our dream begins to fizzle. When we walk away from our dreams , we will find ourselves stuck and feeling unfulfilled.


When you have interest to do something, to acheive some thing do not allow yourself to be gripped by low self esteem.By doing so , you are actually making the matter worse and moving away and far from your dreams.If intead , use positive thoughts as - "I can do this...", "Why Can't I do... " you will slowly move towards your dream.Taking small steps toward our dreams, we will build our self-esteem and move our lives toward a place of happiness and fulfillment.

TIPS
* make a list of 5 things you've wanted to do or learn. Number them in the order of difficulty. Start with the easiest item first and challenge yourself to complete them over time.

*Take up a new hobby , Buidling self esteem. having belief in you can make you do wonders. learn to dance or take singing lessons, learn to do painting, clay models, take a cooking lesson. The choices are endless and only limited to your imagination and your interest.

*join for Aerobics/Zym ,  do some excerise in home,  make habit of taking yoga classes early in the morning. A Person who is physically fit will also be mentally strong

 I have put down these points observing things around. I study people. I learn from them and I pen down my thoughts from what I have learnt...Think practically.. Take up an action that you have been avoiding since long time with positive affirmation and confidence, you will be able to acheive it for sure. Life seems Exiting , Enjoyble and Worth Living once you start Beliving in Yourself @ Evry time.

Infinity pool, 55 Stories above - Singapore

55 storeys up,  infinity pool could glide you straight over the edge of Singapore, if not the world. It's part of the $6 billion Marina Bay Sands Skypark hotel, which just opened last week. The pool itself is three times the length of an Olympic-sized pool, and is the largest pool in the world at that height reportedly.


What is infinity pool???An infinity pool has an effect that the water of the pool can extend to the horizon. In reality, this water spills over the edge into a catchment, and then is pumped back to the pool again. The concept is said to have been inspired by the terraced rice paddies in Bali, Indonesia.

They are often seen in luxury resorts such as the Marina Bay Sands.

I don’t know about you, but I would be a little nooo so much scared to swim in this pool. I mean, it looks like the water just ends at the roof! I mean, you would be swimming, and then “Ahhhhhhhhhh”!There has got to be some sort of shield to protect the swimmers from that, right????








He'll definitely want to make sure he doesn't swim too close to the edge.This man is the first lap swimmer in the world to enjoy such a view - 55 stories over the city of Singapore.150-metre long  - three times the length of an Olympic swimming pool - was a highlight.

The enormous hotel, which dominates the Singapore skyline, has 2,560 rooms and suites, a fleet of celebrity chef restaurants, shopping areas, theatres, a museum, a casino and a crystal pavilion.

The resort is set to employ 10,000 people directly and generate up to £48million each year. Entrance to the casino alone is nearly £50 a day - but an average of 25,000 people have visited the casino daily since its initial phased opening two months ago.

The opening celebrations also featured a death-defying relay. Seven teams of three participants each scaled the three towers in succession before sprinting across the 340-metre long Sands SkyPark, where the infinity pool is located, to the finish line.
Finally .... My Grannies infront of the Resort. It was not yet opened at that time (April - 2010) .
