Dear All Chevakars

 I am starting a new FB series in our group from tomorrow onwards. I  will post one or two inspiring matter every week, great teachings of  Gurudevan that will remind us his greatness. Aim is to make each one of  feel dignified by the very basic fact “being a Ezhava/Thiya”

The title of the series will be -

The Pride that is “Ezhava/Thiyya”

 We, Ezhava/Thiyya are not inferior to anyone; rather we are one step  ahead of others because we are self made. I underline this word “WE ARE   SELF MADE” Tell me, who else other than Sree Narayana Guru have help us  in molding our life so far. The tribute for whatever we have made and  will make in our life goes to our Gurudevan and his teachings.    How many of us take pride in and understand how great the teachings of  our Gurudevan are? Have you ever tried to assimilate what exactly our  Gurudevan said about many things in his life? Gurudevan once said  ““പലമതസാരവുമേകം” means “the meaning of all religion is same” in other  words, my religion, your religion, their religion all one and same.    There are many Gurus and Saints who came before Guru but all talked  mostly about greatness of their religion but Gurudevan said “wait  brothers, it is not only my religion but your religion is also great  because meaning of all religion is same” What a great thought man!  Doesn’t that sound great and make you feel virtuous.   See the  state of the world today. People kill each other in the name of God.  Yes, they believe that they kill for God, to please his God. People kill  each other for Religion, in the name of religion and for the God of  their religion. People say to each other that “Your religion is wrong,  mine is right” They say that my god is perfect yours is not. Have you  ever told anyone that our religion is the only religion that is great  and our god is the only god that is perfect? Never say that, you can’t  say that because you are the one who follow the teachings of our great  Gurudevan ““പലമതസാരവുമേകം” means “the meaning of all religion is same”   “പലമതസാരവുമേകം” this is the only attitude that will lead this world to  compassion and brotherhood. Can you identify one principle that is  better than ““പലമതസാരവുമേകം” which can keep the world beautiful and  kind? The message of compassion towards other religion was the greatest  message of Gurudevan. This message is going to be the base and will lay  the foundation for universal brotherhood and love in this world in the  years to come.    Now tell me are you inferior to anyone, you  belongs to the doctrine of Gurudevan that makes you the best soul in the  world. SO FEEL PROUD FOR BEING PART OF THE GREATEST DOCTRINE IN THE  WORLD, THE DOCTRINE OF ““പലമതസാരവുമേകം” means “the meaning of all  religion is same”    - GURUSHARANAM
