Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. This day is celeberated as Guru Pournimaa. Devotees offer special worship to Sage Vedavyaasaa.
Today is our country's real National Teachers Day. Our Government should bring in amendments to make this day as our National Teachers Day and to change our country's name as 'Bhaarath Varsh".
Today is the birth anniversary of Kamala Jyothi, my beloved sister. She was born in 1954. I sent greeting to her this morning.
If my beloved brother were alive, he would have greeted her as well. I remember him with heavy heart.
It was spiritually enriching in listening to Shree Raam kathaa discourse by respected Morari Bapujee. He explained about Shree Veda Vyaasaa.
Aashthaa TV Channel telecasts spiritual discourse daily at 7 pm (IST) by charismatic Shree Rajeev Lochana Dasa. In this evening's episode, he mentioned the characteristics of a good person. His discourses are spiritually magnetic.
Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏.
Last year I heard that Phnom Penh, capital city of Cambodia, is the fastest developing city in South East Asia. It's probably true. People who have lived in the city know that it is a very vibrant city. As a professional attached to the Cambodian Ministry of Education, I have lived in the city and have travelled to provinces frequently on work. I remember Takeoprovince, where I had spent a day on work.
This afternoon NHK WORLD JAPAN TV telecast an interesting documentary on how a young Japanese University graduate helped local communities in Phnon Penh and Takeo and contributed in improving their livelihood. Let me share the documentary here.
I remember how Japanese NGOs such as JICA used to be active in Phnom Penh.
I think that multiculturalism is very interesting and useful as long as people of different cultures and traditions integrate well with each other without losing grip of their own culture traditions and contribute to the homogeneous community. I have seen it in South Africa.
This afternoon CNA TV CHANNEL telecast an interesting episode featuring how Nigerians working in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, have been contributing to the city's development. I like the program as a profrssional who worked in African countries as well as in Phnom Penh. Let me share CNA's documentary here.
I nostalgically remember my Ethiopian friends in Phnom Penh. They were working in NGOs.
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🙏.
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.
(I nostalgically remember Shree Jagannathan, my good friend and Shreemathi Bhaanumathi Jagannathan, his good wife. They taught in a Government Senior School in a small town in Ethiopia. I was teaching in a small town known as Sheno and I nostalgically remember my visit to their house).
Jai Shree Jagannaath🙏.
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.
