Learning Point of the day:
Perumal's Datrutwam (Daana Gunam) is uncomparable. With
his divine grace, perumal always gives more than what we ask for. Let us not
ask for any materialistic wishes from HIM. His grace is independent of what we
have asked or performed in our daily lives. Its impossible for any
jeevathma to estimate what Perumal gives us. He even gives himself for
Jeevathma. He stands in the FIRST place in providing treasure of wealth to his
Ashritas. Thats why we call him PURUSHOTHHAMA. Let us all surrender to him and
keep faith that HE provides us everything.
