Ten Requirements from Maha Periava to You (It is said "kattalai" in the Tamil version which means commandment. Since Periava was too noble to issue a commandment I opted the word Requirement)
1. Once you wake up in the morning pray to God in your mind at least for two minutes.
2. Pray for yourselves as well as for others in the society for a good day in the making.
3. Think for one minute about our sacred rivers, Gomatha, Saptha Chiranjeevis, Saptha Nareemanis (ladies).
4. At least worship once in a week, the deity in the temple nearby yours.
5. Show love towards all apart from your friends and relatives.
6. Before taking food, make it a habit to offer a share to some animals and birds.
7. Daily offer charity to the best of your ability.
8. Daily apply vibhuti or kumkumam or both in your forehead.
9. Before retiring to bed at night just think about the rights and wrongs you have done in the day.
10. At least chant for 108 times, Bhagavan-naama (God's name) before going to bed daily.
None of the 10 above is impossible to follow and practise. Why not we too?
