Maadhwaa Saint Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Maadhwaa community. It is the anniversary of the day of coronation of Raghavendra Swamy.

Raghavendra Swamy's coronation ceremony.

With heavy heart, I remember having seen a laminated image of Raghavendra Swamy near my beloved brother on his bed during his last days. As far as I know, my brother was a great devotee of Shree Krishnaa.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.

AI Summit in Delhi

Recently begun AI Summit  seems to feaurre more exiting aspects of AI than previously with celebrities such as Google's Sunder Pitchai, Infosys's Nandan Nilekeni etc.

While the deliberations and proceedings in the Meet will pave way for further development, I hope that it will come up with cyber crime solutions that will be more effective than those applied currently. 


Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum🙏.

Online shopping

In my previous posts I have described my experience in online shopping. 

For the past few weeks, I have been ordering for Mysorepak from a Bengaluru based manufacturer.

This product, as advertised on the pack, (images of which are as follows) is of good quality:



The manufacturer seems to very customer friendly. 

Nasty political tactics

According to a newspaper report, and Tamizhnaadu Chief Minister M K Stalin distributed Rs 3000 and some gift items to 500 married couples aged 70 and more. 

People in Tamizhnaadu know very well that political parties give such gifts with the intention of gaining votes and winning elections by hook or crook.

It is bad that politicians involve even people from spiritual organisations in such self centred events. I think that these organisations should not succumb to such nasty political pressures.

Another nasty political practice by state and central governments is the release of prisoners on occassions such as VIPs' birthdays. 

I think that our Governments need a radical change in how they run the states and the country.

Corrupt politicians, ministers, employees and beurocrats should be completely wiped out.
