An Appeal
It has been ordained by Lord Sri Ram to have a Sannidhi constructed for Him within the premises of Sri Varadaraja Swami temple at Miralur, Chidambaram Taluk, Cuddalore District.
Miralur is a small village on the banks of Vellar River, a branch of Kollidam River. It is 10 km from Chidambaram, a famous temple town of Sri Nataraja and Sri Govindaraja Swami, en route to Vriddhachalam. It is 6 km from Bhuvanagiri and is in between Bhuvanagiri and Cross Road, near Sethiathoppu. Sri Raghavendraswami was born at Bhuvanagiri and a temple is constructed there for him. Miralur is nearer to Valayamadevi and Srimushnam. Agriculture is the main occupation of the village people.
Miralur village is blessed with 4 temples, Sri Varadaraja Swami Temple, Sri Agastheeswara Swami temple, Sri Mariamman Koil and Sri Theniamman Koil on the outskirt of the village. Sri Varadaraja Swami temple is said to be more than 500 years old.
The presiding deity is Sri Varadharaja Swami and His consorts Sri Sri Devi and Sri Bhudevi. A separate sannidhi for Thayar Mahalakshmi and Sri Garudan are also there. Sri Srinivasa Perumal with His Proyoga Chakra removes the difficulties of the devotees and blesses them with Happiness, Peace and Prosperity. One must have darshan at the temple to enjoy the bliss and the beauty of the Deities, which is not possible to be described through words.
People in and around the village worshi Mariamman Koil in the months of Adi and Thai with prayers to protect them and their wards from epidemic ailments.
The temple is managed by a family of hereditary trustee. Samprokshanam for the temple was conducted last in September 1997 after a gap of 60 years, mainly due to the efforts of the present trustee, Shri K.Venkatesam Pillai who took over after the demise of his father, Sri S. Kuppuswami Pillai. Sri Venkatesam Pillai, who hails from this village, is a retired official from Annamalai University.
A request has been made with Sri Subbiah Sthapathi, Asthana Sthapathi of Sri Sankara Mutt, Kanchipuram to have the idols prepared according to Agama Shastras and he has assured to provide the Vigrahas before 20th May 2008.
It is proposed to have the Samprokshnam during the last week of May 2008 or first week of June 2008. The exact date of Samprokshanam would be communicated after finalising with the Vedic Scholars.
Devotees are requested to participate in the Samprokshnam and receive the Blessings of Sri Ram.
Ambition (Long Range Plan):
i. Collect donations from the willing donors for Samprokshanam and utilise the amount judiciously
ii. Invest the surplus funds after the Samprokshnam in some mutual funds/fixed deposits
iii. Ensure daily pooja and celebration of yearly festivals without any omission including Sranavanam, Janma Natchathiram of Sri Ramar Punarvasu etc. At present Thirumanjanam is performed every Sravanam every month.
iv.Encourage the children/students to learn rabhandam/Thevaram/Thiruvasagam etc.
v. Educate the people about the health awareness especially the ill effects of drinking habits and arrange for the treatment of alcholic addicts.
vi. Involve all the people in the village to work together for common cause and take care of the destitute.

Be An Optimist at All TimesBy: Brian TracyEveryone wants to be physically healthy. You want to be mentally healthy as well. The true measure of "mental fitness" is how optimistic you are about yourself and your life.In this newsletter, you learn how to control your thinking in very specific ways so that you feel terrific about yourself and your situation, no matter what happens.Control Your Reactions and ResponsesThere are three basic differences in the reactions of optimists and pessimists. The first difference is that the optimist sees a setback as temporary, while the pessimist sees it as permanent. The optimist sees an unfortunate event, such as an order that falls through or a sales call that fails, as a temporary event, something that is limited in time and that has no real impact on the future. The pessimist, on the other hand, sees negative events as permanent, as part of life and destiny.Isolate the IncidentThe second difference between the optimist and the pessimist is that the optimist sees difficulties as specific, while the pessimist sees them as pervasive. This means that when things go wrong for the optimist, he looks at the event as an isolated incident largely disconnected from other things that are going on in his life.
See Setbacks as Temporary EventsFor example, if something you were counting on failed to materialize and you interpreted it to yourself as being an unfortunate event, but something that happens in the course of life and business, you would be reacting like an optimist. The pessimist, on the other hand, sees disappointments as being pervasive. That is, to him they are indications of a problem or shortcoming that pervades every area of life.Don't Take Failure PersonallyThe third difference between optimists and pessimists is that optimists see events as external, while pessimists interpret events as personal. When things go wrong, the optimist will tend to see the setback as resulting from external factors over which one has little control.If the optimist is cut off in traffic, for example, instead of getting angry or upset, he will simply downgrade the importance of the event by saying something like, "Oh, well, I guess that person is just having a bad day."The pessimist on the other hand, has a tendency to take everything personally. If the pessimist is cut off in traffic, he will react as though the other driver has deliberately acted to upset and frustrate him.Remain Calm and ObjectiveThe hallmark of the fully mature, fully functioning, self-actualizing personality is the ability to be objective and unemotional when caught up in the inevitable storms of daily life. The superior person has the ability to continue talking to himself in a positive and optimistic way, keeping his mind calm, clear and completely under control. The mature personality is more relaxed and aware and capable of interpreting events more realistically and less emotionally than is the immature personality. As a result, the mature person exerts a far greater sense of control and influence over his environment, and is far less likely to be angry, upset, or distracted.Take the Long ViewLook upon the inevitable setbacks that you face as being temporary, specific and external. View the negative situation as a single event that is not connected to other potential events and that is caused largely by external factors over which you can have little control. Simply refuse to see the event as being in any way permanent, pervasive or indicative of personal incompetence of inability.Resolve to think like an optimist, no matter what happens. You may not be able to control events but you can control the way you react to them.Action ExercisesNow, here are three actions you can take immediately to put these ideas into action.First, remind yourself continually that setbacks are only temporary, they will soon be past and nothing is as serious as you think it is.Second, look upon each problem as a specific event, not connected to other events and not indicative of a pattern of any kind. Deal with it and get on with your life.Third, recognize that when things go wrong, they are usually caused by a variety of external events. Say to yourself, "What can't be cured must be endured," and then get back to thinking about your goals.
Develop amazing self-confidence and be unstoppable in everything you do!Think of all the things you could do if you enjoyed super levels of self-confidence... your career would be booming, offers would be flying your way, everyone would want to be with you. You would have more opportunities to find that "special someone."
