Our Divine Parents

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. Today being Ekaadashi, devotees offer special worship to Shree Mahaa Vishnu. Today being Friday, devotees offer special worship to Shree Mahaa Lakshmi as She is the Friday Devathaa.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏

Online shopping

In my previous posts I have described my experience in online shopping. 

For the past few weeks, I have been ordering for Mysorepak from a Bengaluru based manufacturer.

This product, as advertised on the pack, (images of which are as follows) is of good quality:

The manufacturer seems to very customer friendly. 

Nasty political tactics

According to a newspaper report, and Tamizhnaadu Chief Minister M K Stalin distributed Rs 3000 and some gift items to 500 married couples aged 70 and more. 

People in Tamizhnaadu know very well that political parties give such gifts with the intention of gaining votes and winning elections by hook or crook.

It is bad that politicians involve even people from spiritual organisations in such self centred events. I think that these organisations should not succumb to such nasty political pressures.

Another nasty political practice by state and central governments is the release of prisoners on occassions such as VIPs' birthdays. 

I think that our Governments need a radical change in how they run the states and the country.

Corrupt politicians, ministers, employees and beurocrats should be completely wiped out.

Divine Mother Fest

Tomorrow is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It is celebrated as Seetha Jayanthee all over the Universe.

Shree Janakaa, Shree Seethaa Devee's father was King of Mithilaa and based in Janakpur. Shree Dasarathaa, Lord Shree Raam's father was King of Ayodhya.

Shree Hanumaanjee worshipping Lord Shree Raam and Shree Seethaa Devi. On the left is Lord Lakshman.

Best wishes for Happy Seethaa Jayanthee of tomorrow🙏.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.

Our PM's visit to Malaysia

Our Prime Minister's recent visit to Malaysia is a welcome one and appropriately timed.I wish that the bilateral relationship between the two countries are enhanced. 

The two countries share many aspects of Ancient India; these can be seen in their culture and traditions. Indians have contributed to Malaysian Economic Development in many ways. Thamizh is one of three official languages in Malaysia. 

In 2009, I had to spend a few hours in Kuala Lumpur International Airport on my way back to Chennai from Phnom Penh. Although there was a Metro Train Service that took tourists to different parts of KL, I didn't use it due to a foot injury. Though longer than normal air route, this was only available at that time.  

I stayed at a Thamizh restaurant at the airport, relishing iddlies with coconut chutney and a hot cup of strong filter coffee. As there were many  local Thamizh language newspapers and magazines in the restaurant, I could read these.

In Cambodia, I used to watch atleast 3 Malaysia based Thamizh language TV Channels.

The Beatles

The Beatles has begun a trail of it's rock historic journey of the 1960s in a new digital format featuring contemporary actors to play the roles of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr. Let me share the news item here.

Let me share a UTube video tkhat shows George Harrison's song about Lord Shree Krishna; George Harrison ends his song with Hare Krishna Mahaa Manthraa.

Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏.

State Criminal's death anniversary

Today is the death anniversary of C N Annadurai

Criminally Nasty Annadurai viz. C N A, was a well known anti-Brahmin extremist; he should have been sentenced to death by our Supreme Court. But unfortunately it didn't happen. 

Shree Mahaa Vishnu Beverage

There is a very popular Vaishnavite songs the lyrics of which begin as follows: Shree Vittalaa's Name is the Cow's Ghee, Shree Krishnaa's Name is Sugar in the Sweet Beverage that is Shree Raam's Name.

My beloved mother's maternal uncle used to sing this song often. He was married to my mother's elder sister.

Such examples that explain the glories of Shree Hari's Names in simple terms. These should be taught to children from very young age.

I remember our playing with dolls of Vaishnavite Deities during my childhood days. I think that ISKCON encourages and sells such dolls. I think that children are encouraged to play with such dolls in their Gurukulaa Schools all over the world.

Finance Budget

Our Central Government has been coming up with many welcome steps in Budget Allocation. One of these is easing of restrictions in import and export of leather products. It looks like the Government encourages leather products import and export despite the fact that animals are killed in the maufacture of leather products. I think that our Government should ban every thing related to manufacture, import and export of leather products. It includes leather technology courses in Universities.

Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum🙏.
