Krishna:

Fearlessness, singleness of soul, the will Always to strive for wisdom; opened hand And governed appetites; and piety And love of lonely study; humbleness, Uprightness, heed to injure nought which lives, Truthfulness, slowness unto wrath, a mind That lightly letteth go what others prize; And equanimity, and charity Which spieth no man's faults; and tenderness Towards all that suffer; a contented heart, Fluttered by no desires; a bearing mild, Modest, and grave, with manhood nobly mixed With patience, fortitude, and purity; An unrevengeful spirit, never given To rate itself too high; - such be the signs, O Indian Price! of him whose feet are set On that fair path which leads to heavenly birth!

Deceitfulness, and arrogance, and pride, Quickness to anger, harsh and evil speech, And ignorance, to its own darkness blind, These be the signs, My Prince! of him whose birth Is fated for the regions of the vile.1

story time




this is the story of the bhakthi of Rathnavathi
she was the wife of dhana guptan a business man
he often had to travel and he was always busy
rathnavathi would spend her time doing pooja to lord shiva
she was so much involved in his bhakthi that lord shiva himself was impressed with her bhakthi

rathnavathi was pregnant and her delivery date was fast approaching
as usuall her husband was not in the town, he informed ratnavathi's mother to take care of her through a messenger

rathnavathi's mother who was living on the other side of cauvery had to cross the river and reach ratnavathi's place
on that particular day it rained heavily and there was flood in cauvery
her mother took shelter near the river and waited for the rains to stop and the flood to recede

meanwhile here rathnavathi developed severe labour pain and no one was there for her help. she prayed to lord shiva
lord shiva disguised himself as her mother and attended ratnavathi

she gave birth to a baby boy,  he took care of rathnavathi for a week
meanwhile the rains stopped and lord shiva ( in disguise) said to her that she has to leave and now she herself can take care of adn left
in meantime ratnavathis' mother reached there and found her daughter and grandson and was surprised

ratnavathi asked her mom why did she return
to that she said she never came for delivery

ratnavathi then felt it was lord shiva himself who came in the form of her mother all did all the needful to her

Lord Shiva the fatherly God has taken the role of Mother at the temple Thayumanavar at Trichy. Here devotees pray to the God for safe delivery.  After safe delivery they should visit to the temple with bunch of banana [].  Ever y one visit this temple and should also see the Malaikottai Vianayagar.
