This morning I had the joy of viewing Shree Morari Bapu's 'Raam Kathaa' (Shree Raam Avataar's Life History) on Aashtha (or Sanskaar TV Channel). He was explaining the 'Karuna' dimension displayed by Lord Shree Raam. For a moment my mind flashed back to 2008 when I had a very softspoken colleague named Karuna; she was the chief inspector for History at the Cambodian Ministry of Education. As in all Education Ministries, they also had a chief inspector for each curricular subject taught in schools. As with many educated Cambodians she was well aware of what her name meant and the fact that it came from our Hinduism.
