Tips for retirement savings.


  • If we live longer, we will either end up leaving our careers or opt for a less intensive job or stop working. The companies included pension plans in their compensation package and employees used to receive a percentage of their salary as pension for the rest of their life. This social security benefit used to be enough to offset the cost of living so that a retired person could enjoy his retirement without any financial hardship. But with the high inflationary trends in the current days this does not hold to be true anymore.
  • Instead, it is today the individual responsibility to create for him or herself a financially comfortable retired life. How to go about it?
  • Make a plan for retirement. Saving for retirement canfigure out to be little difficult at first.
  • Decide what you need to do to create a large nest of money which can take of your retirement needs.
  • Determine your net worth ie the value of assets minus the value of your liabilities. If the net worth is negative start figuring out as to what you can do to make it possitive.
  • First decide what you will need to contribute today to reach your retirement goal.
  • Next you need to create a budget of your recurring expenses and consider your saving contribution as a monthly expense.
  • Compare the various plans available in the market. Do undertake a cost benefit analysis before deciding the plan.
  • Select the right plan and start investing regularly for financial freedom during your retired life.

When the saints came marching in Mylapore during the Arupathimoovar festival.


  • I was one among the thousands to witness the procession of the Nayanmars (Saivite Saints) along with the idolx of Kapaleeswarar and Karpagambal, richly decorated amidst chanting of vedic mantras and the nadaswaram, on the occassion of th Panguni uttiram festival, at Chittiraikulam, Mylapore, Chennai, India. I became pious and happy and my heart was filled with peace.
  • During the Aarupathimoovar festival held every year during March - April the bronze idols of 63 Nayanmars are carried in a procession of palanquins around the Kapaleeswarar temple.
  • Baloons, hand made coconut shell violins, silk sarees, cotton sarees, fresh flowers and huge rangolis before the houses speak loudly of this annual festival. I always take an off from my work during this festival not just for religious reasons but I get the joy of being one among the crowd of devotees.
  • Devotees and tourists had queued up at the 4 mada streets on the Arupathimoovar festival the 8th day of the 10 day long Brahmotsavam celebrations.
  • When the poles are sunk, the pandals are put up and packets of pongal, pulliyodharai and glasses of neer more are distributed to the passersby all free like an Akshayapatra, a legendary vessel which never becomes empty. All these are prepared at the kitchens of the Kapaleeswara temple and the surrounding houses clearly bringing out the existence of community kitchens.
After the Nayanmar festival on the full moon day the devotees can witness the marriage of Kapaleeswarar and Karpagambal (Thirukalyanam). The darshan of Lord Kapaleeswara and Karpagambal is a divine experience that bestows mental peace, satisfaction and happiness on the devotees. Add to Mixx!

Handling emotions

Know that humiliation does not weaken you, it strengthens you. If you are afraid of humiliation, you can neither make progress in your material life nor in your spiritual life. When you stand above humiliation, you get closer to the self, to god. So, the way out is:

  • Get humiliated!
  • Be child-like.
  • Get steeped in love with the divine.
  • Total commitment to truth.
  • Know that the people you are jealous of have done some good karma in the past and they are now reaping the fruit.
  • Take it as an inspiration to gain merit now.
  • Create a sense of belongingness with them.
  • Think of all that you have, that they don't have and feel greatful.
  • Simply observe the sensations.
  • Join hands and form a team.
  • Realise that with the passage of time, all will perish.
