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.

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.
