Past friday was an auspicious day in the Hindu calender. This is the day on which The Almighty Shree Hari descended on the earth billions of years back in His Vaamana Avataar and blessed king Mahaa Bali, the grandson of Prahlaadhaa, the greatest devotee of Lord Narasimhaa.

My beloved father's death anniversary
Today is the death anniversary of my beloved father according to Hindu calender. As I had to go to Ashram to get the ritual performed, I didn't have time to write this post in the morning. Today is also the his birthday according to the English calendar. I fondly remember him and my beloved mother who had always been a support to him.

Supreme Court's shirking responsibility and Public Administraion's perverted decision
We all know that recently our Supreme Court washed away it's responsibility of conducting trial on the case of Rajiv Gandhi's assassins and passed on the task of deciding as to whether to release them or to keep them in custody, to Tamilnadu Government. Yesterday the TN Government decided to release them.
Any even minded good person will know that this is a dangerous move. I just don't understand how such things happen. I think that Mr Modi and his team or the President of India should intervene to avert such bad practices. I think that people should stage rallies against wrong doings such as these. Criminals deserve severe punishment across barriers such that they don't dare to even imagine committing crimes again.

Softrock revisit
As I am writing this post, I am viewing a melodious Softrock performance by Philipp Poisel, a young German singer and his band on DW TV . Their music has an interesting resemblance to that of Mark Pnofler.
Lord Krishna Fest
Today is a very auspicious day for Hindus. It is on this day nearly 5000 years back that the Almighty Shree Mahaa Vishnu descended on the Earth as Krishna. He was born at night after moonrise. Hindu devotees offer special worship to Him on this day. I fondly remember my beloved parents on this auspicious occasion and pray the Almighty to shower His Blessings on them.
My Krishna Janmaashtami greetings to all my Hindu friends as well as non-Hindu friends such as Jose.
