Journey to Thirunallar (Shani Temple)

“Shani”….Saturn…Ill fate of Life…..there are many names and synonyms attached with this.

Shani...Plays a very vital role in everybody’s life; Shani’s time span in anybody’s life varies from 3 years to maximum of 7.5 years.
As almighty gives us pain and suffering in the form of Shani dosha, but on the other hand he also shows the ways to come out of this.

I’m talking about shani shanti pooja done at exclusive temple of Shani dev at Thirunallar in Pondicherry, around 90 KM from Tanjavour.

I had recently visited this temple and got done the Shani Shanti pooja, it was a great pleasure and I was getting a positive feeling of getting rid from shani dosha.

The Journey was very cool and exciting. I took the train from Bangalore to Kumbakonam, reached Kumbokanam at 6 AM early morning, and then took taxi to Thirunallar.

The drive to Thirunallar by taxi was very eye pleasing, everywhere greenery, serpentine roads, cool breeze…we reached Thirunallar at 8.30 AM.

As per the old ritual , before entering to shani Temple, one has to take bath in pond( situated near Temple) with Oil (Til ka teel) and leave the cloth in pond only , which were worn during the bath and wear new cloths.



Then went to Ganesh temple, side of the pond, offered coconut and went to take darshan of Shani Dev.
We purchased the offering for God from out side then took Abhishekam ticket of Rs 150/- for special shani shanti pooja. I was expecting the pooja will take some good time, but to my surprise, the priest asked my nakshatra, rasi name, etc…and then said...He will do the pooja himself. Once rush is not their…then directed me to take the Glimpse of Lord Shani from near view.

After that we went to collect our offerings , also got prasadm and also gave feed to crows( belief: if crow eats your feed then the ill fate is out from life) and also got holy water in small bottle to take bath with , when back home. And finally the Shani darshan was completed.

I was really feeling very much relaxed after that durshan with hope that everything in the life will be settled very soon.

Note: Remember after finishing up the pooja and returning back, dont ever look at the temple again..else.........Ill fate continues..

Interview Selection Parameters

You all would have attended many interview in past and would have got feedback after the interview that "your profile doesn't suits with the requirement" or "will call you back" or some other answer , just to avoid saying "NO" directly. Generally this happen, because in interviews ,we try to tell what ever we want to tell (all the good(s), not what the interviewer wants to hear. Most of times we just answer the question asked by interviewer, without knowing what exactly the interviewer wants to judge by asking that question.

Its time to market and sell your Qualities, achievements and yourself to your prospective employer" Below I have mentioned some of the Key Parameters, which are used by almost all the companies in the globe and for any job & position.

Which is best way to handle career failures?

Hi Friends, On personal front accept the reality of failure, be cool & collected, behave well with all, including with family and continue to be-in-touch with friends, network with associates, et al and try to overcome the tide, gain balance and momentum back in life; and, On professional front, try to acquire marketable skills, reengineer the behavioral patterns, where required, et al and grow positively. OR, On personal front, become a recluse, alcoholic, drug-abuser, lose balance and temper, become generally irritable to the neighborhood & the family; (such gentlemen have become as the stinkers of the society, not to speak of becoming notorious as ‘Wife-beaters’ & ‘Child-abusers’); and, On the professional front, continue to be where one is, curse the fate that let them down, become wild, rave ‘n’ rant against the whole world and hide behind computer to try to take out their miserable-frustrations on others. You might never have faced such a scenario in your life. Assumi...
