Namadwaar Salutes and Welcomes a True Champion

Sunita Williams, who was scheduled to spend just 8 days in space, unexpectedly had to stay for 286 days due to a technical snag. This long period of isolation, especially in space on the International Space Station, and the mental stress caused by the continuous failure of spaceships, is a great hardship; not easy to endure. This takes a great toll on everything from physical to mental health.

But Sunita overcame this like a champion. In a precarious environment where she was unexpectedly trapped, it is said that the Bhagavad Gita that she always carries safe with her, gave her immense conviction and resolve. Such was her love and reverence to Srimad Bhagavad Gita that she would take the glorious text along with her even to space, every single time! It was the teachings of Srimad Bhagavad Gita that gave her spiritual strength to endure such daunting circumstances.

Srimad Bhagavad Gita is a treasure trove of wisdom, that can mould anyone to withstand all hurdles, by remaining unperturbed, by unshackling one from the bonds of attachment, by ridding one of fear of death.

It seems indeed, that Bhagavan, just as He showed His enchanting Cosmic Form to Arjuna in Srimad Bhagavad Gita, desired to show His Form through the unfathomable vastness and grandeur of space to His ardent devotee, Sunita.

Namadwaar salutes her devotion, courage, and resolve!

விண்வெளியில் 8 நாட்கள் மட்டுமே செலவிட திட்டமிடப்பட்டிருந்த சுனிதா வில்லியம்ஸ், எதிர்பாராத விதமாக தொழில்நுட்பக் கோளாறு காரணமாக 286 நாட்கள் தங்க வேண்டியிருந்தது. இந்த நீண்ட கால தனிமை, குறிப்பாக சர்வதேச விண்வெளி நிலையத்தில் விண்வெளியில், மற்றும் விண்கலங்களின் தொடர்ச்சியான தோல்வியால் ஏற்படும் மன அழுத்தம், ஒரு பெரிய கஷ்டம்; தாங்குவது எளிதல்ல. இது உடல் முதல் மன ஆரோக்கியம் வரை அனைத்திலும் பெரும் பாதிப்பை ஏற்படுத்துகிறது.

ஆனால் சுனிதா இதை தீரமாக வென்றார். எதிர்பாராத விதமாக சிக்கிக்கொண்ட ஒரு நிலையற்ற சூழலில், அவர் எப்போதும் தன்னுடன் பாதுகாப்பாக எடுத்துச் செல்லும் பகவத் கீதை, அவருக்கு மகத்தான நம்பிக்கையையும் உறுதியையும் அளித்ததாகக் கூறப்படுகிறது. ஸ்ரீமத் பகவத் கீதையின் மீதான அவரது அன்பும் மரியாதையும் எந்த அளவுக்கு இருந்திருந்தால், அவர் ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் விண்வெளிக்கு கூட கீதையை கொண்டுசெல்வார்! அத்தகைய கடினமான சூழ்நிலைகளைத் தாங்கும் ஆன்மீக வலிமையை அவருக்கு அளித்தது ஸ்ரீமத் பகவத் கீதையின் போதனைகள்தான். அவை அனைத்து தடைகளையும் மன வலிமையோடு தாங்கிக்கொள்ள, பற்றுதலின் பிணைப்புகளிலிருந்து ஒருவரை அவிழ்த்து, மரண பயத்திலிருந்து விடுவிப்பதன் மூலம், ஒருவரை தயார்படுத்துகின்றன.

ஸ்ரீமத் பகவத் கீதையில் அர்ஜுனனுக்கு தனது விஸ்வரூபத்தை காட்டியது போலவே, தனது தீவிர பக்தையான சுனிதாவுக்கும், பிரபஞ்சத்தின் அளவிட முடியாத பரந்த தன்மை மற்றும் பிரம்மாண்டத்தின் மூலம் தனது வடிவத்தைக் காட்ட பகவான் விரும்பினார் போலும்.

நாமத்வார் அவரது பக்தி, தைரியம் மற்றும் உறுதிப்பாட்டை வணங்குகிறது.

    Great indeed that Bhagavad Gita gave her confidence to remain calm braving uncertainty. Full and unconditional faith paves way for success. Radhe Radhe

    Radhe Radhe. Humble Namaskarams to Guruji Maharaj’s Divine Feet on the Auspicious Guru Vaaram day ( Thursday)!

    Immaterial of whether we are on “Earth” or “Space, Spiritual Magic remains Undiminished for ‘Earnest Seekers’. The above incisive and crisp write-up, clarity combined with brevity, enamours us immensely and pierces our hearts instantaneously! A rare Confluence of Unmatched Resilience [in the wake of adverse circumstances], Unparallelled Guts and Gusto, Steadfast and Resolute Mindset – has been woven intrinsically into “The” Chivalrous Sunita Williams & her Sagacious Crew. That Bhagavad Gita has withstood the ravages of time and still stands like the Massive Rock of Gibraltar gets further testified and accentuated – here! Kudos to Sunita Williams for possessing that Unfaltering Faith in Bhagavad Gita and internalizing Its Quintessence and not placing entire Reliance on her Intelligence! Unequivocally, Guruji Maharaj arms us with Spiritual Wings, to Face Life’s Troublesome and Unconscionable Innings – for context, Sunita Williams’ Odyssey in Space, too! The Irrefutable Axiom that Guruji Maharaj is “The First” to shower encomiums for Incredible Wisdom and Feats, when they are finely sutured into the fine tapestry of Spirituality, gets accentuated exponentially. Glory to Sri G!
