Shree Mahaa Vishnu Fest

It was spiritually entertaining to view a softrock performance with Hindu religious songs in a program run by Shree Satpaaljee Maharaj's Maanav Dharam Trust on Aashtha TV Channel. 

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.

Lord Shree Krishna Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender.  Being Friday, devotees offer special worship to Shree Mahaa Lakshmi and her husband Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa.

Today marks the beginning day of Ratha Yaathraa of Lord Shree Jagannaath. 

Let me share a Utube video of live telecast of the Holy Chariots Festival of Lord Shree Jagannaath, Lord Balabhadraa, Shree Shubadhraa and Shree Sudarshan here.

Jai Shree Jagannaath🙏.

Online shopping oddity

Online ordering for food is is  unavoidable to single senior cirizens like me. This mode is convenient as food is ready made and saves time and energy. 

But one problem is the cost. Let me quote one example. A few minutes ago I ordered for grilled chilli sandwiches from Shree Mithai, a local restaurant, via Swiggy. The cost of the food item is Rs 130. But Swiggy charges Rs 226. Consumers pay nearly double the cost of food item. This applies to all food items.

I think it will be nice if our Consumer Rights Groups and Government Agencies intervene and fix this problem.

International Yogaa Day

Today is celeberated all over the world as International Yogaa Day

Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum🙏.

Scoundrels in action

Usually on Ekaadashi, I reduce viewing non spiritual TV programs and use more time for viewing Shree Mahaa Vishnu related programs.  Today is Ekaadashi. As I was viewing a divine dicourse by Shree Rajeev Lochan dasjee, electric power went off. This happened two or three times this afternoon. Previously power cuts used to be short lasting not more than 10 or 20 minutes. But the trend has worsened in the past few months with power cuts lasting for half an hour to one hour or more. Added to this is the noise pollution by scoundrel drivers who hoot their vehicles with loud sound levels unnecessarily.  As I mentioned in my previous posts, government employees who are paid to fix power cut problems seem to completely ignore their duty. Such employees and rascal politicians who contribute to such nasty haapenings should be forced to live in houses with frequent power cuts. They should also be severely punished with dismissal from service. Rogue drivers should be banned from driving for life.

My beloved brother

Today with a heavy heart,  I fondly remember my beloved brother. He passed away on 20 January, exactly five months ago. 

I wish that his soul is at the lotus feet of Lord Shree Krishna and keeps serving Him.

Hari Sarvoththamaa🙏.

Vaayu jeevoththamaa🙏.

Paul's birthday

Yesterday was birthday of Sir Paul McCartney. His songs such as 'Get Back', 'Ebony and Ivory' (sung with Stevie Wonder) will be remembered by his numerous fans (among whom I was one) for years to come.


Best wishes for a happy birthday to him.
