My beloved brother

According to Gregorian Calender, today marks the end of one year since my beloved brother passed away. I remember him with heavy heart.

Following image shows Reshma, my niece (sister's daughter) and Ramesh, my beloved brother, at a function held on the first birth anniversary of my brother's grandson a few years ago:

I wish that my beloved brother's soul is at the Lotus Feet of Shree Mahaa Vishnu and that it serves Him eternally. I also wish that the souls of my beloved parents are the Lotus Feet of Shree Mahaa Vishnu and that they are serving Shree Hari eternally.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.

My hospital stay

I am sorry that I couldn't write any post for a few days due to severe physical disposition. 

I had to get admitted in a reasonably good multi-specialty hospital near my beloved siste's house in Vellore. With very low blood, the clinic is ordering for 2 bottles of blood, confirm that all parameters are back to normal and then discharge me in about five days. Thanks to Dr Sankar, Dr Karan,  Sandhya and other paramedical staff.

By God's Grace, the cold climate seems to be swaying away, welcoming warmth. Right now I feel thirsty and I am awaiting non-Alcoholic Shwepps Ginger Ale as it will be soothing to my throat.

I am grateful to my beloved sister for her emotional support and to the hospital staff for emotional and physical support.

I wish that I leave my mortal remains as early as possible according to Shree Hari's Plan.

Eesham Naaraayano Hari 🙏.

Shree Raam Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It is Dwaadashi and is very close to Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu, supreme God.

It was highly spiritually enriching to view Vedic rituals at Shree Raam Mandir in Ayodhyaa. As every Hindu knows, Lord Shree Raam was an incarnation of Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu. 

Let me share Utube video of the Vedic rituals that took place here.

It was nice to see Shree Rajnath Singh, our Defence Minister and Shree Yogi Adityanath participating in the worship.

Jai Shree Raam🙏.
