Shortlived Blessings from the Gods I had Worshipped
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance, despite all its great strength it cannot save-Ps 33:17 (NIV)”
I have three children. I was so much religious minded that I named all my children after the Hindu gods’ names I had believed in. I named my eldest son after Thirichendur Murugan as Karthikeyan, my daughter as Gayathri depicting ‘OM’ Pranava Manthra, the so called highest Manthra among all the Manthras and my younger son as ‘Sakthi’ after Melmaruvathur Adhi Parasakthi. We were so much delighted and felt as having been blessed by Goddess Adhi Parasakthi and Lord Murugan when our eldest son Karthik was selected for a job in Singapore as a Software Engineer with a monthly salary of Rs. 1.25 Lakhs where he worked for one year. We were so much elated with joy when he was selected for a job in USA and boarded the flight for Atlanta on 24th June 2000. He was offered a salary of Rs.2.50 lakhs per month. We felt that all our prayers, good deeds, fear of God and faith were bringing a blessing to us and we thanked all the gods whom we had been worshipping.
