Back in my residence

Today I am glad to be back at my residence in Chennai after more than two and a half month's stay at my sister's house in Vellore after having fully recovered from my sudden and serious ill health. 

Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum🙏.

My visit to the dentist

I had my final visit to the dentist this morning. He made some adjustments so that the dentures would fit perfectly well.

I am thankful to him, his dentist wife, paramedical staff, my niece Sushma (for taking me to the clinic and back), and my sister (for reminding my niece to take me to the clinic), for their kindness.

I was glad to send the following thanksgiving message to them:

Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏.

Chaotic roads

Every sane educated person in our country knows how difficult it is to self drive on our roads with careless and arrogant drivers. Our roads have gradually becoming increasingly chaotic. Besides, current AI technology has added fuel to the fire. 

Senior citizens like me are abandoning self driving for obvious reasons, sell their fabourite cars and resort to calltaxi facility, like how I have done.




I and my car in the late 1980s.

A recent article on road chaos in Reader's Digest caught my interest; let me share the article here.

Raamaayana Insight

As every Indian knows, Raamaayanaa and Mahaa Bhaarathaa are two well respected Epics of our great country. 

All Maadhwaa Bramins know that Shree Madhwaachaarya, founder Sage of Maadhwaa Mutts, has given deeper insights into these epics in his contributions that considered authentic. One such contribution is Mahaa Bhaaratha Thaathparya Nirnayaa

In this work, he explains that the Seethaa Dhevee who is believed to have been abducted by demon king Raavanaa was a just a human image of real Seetha Dhevee and this image was not real Seetha Dhevee. According to Shree Madhwaachaarya, at the time of abduction and until meeting Lord Shree Raam, real Seetha Dhevee was in Kailaash worshipping Lord Rudraa. No one except Lord Shree Raam can even touch Seethaa Dhevee.

Shree Raam Jaya Raam
Jai Jai Seethaa Raam🙏

Children's misbehavior

According to a recent newspaper report, a 15 years old boy killed a classmate and injured several others in a school in Bengaluru.

Todays parents and grand parents seem to give too much undeserved lenience to their children with an absolutely wrong perception that it is a gesture of affection.

Such children not only develop bad behaviour but also hurt their spouses, inlaws, and others in house in different ways after they get married.

Our Governments should come up with strict measures to prevent this oddity. It is high time that parents and grandparents are educated rightly on this neglected aspect.

 


Lord Rudraa, great devotee of Shree Mahaa Vishnu

Lord Rudraa is well known to be a great devotee of Shree Mahaa Vishnu. All Scriptures have clearly mentioned this. ÌSKCON Attapur also mentions this Divine Fact in it's March 2026 Newsletter.

With heavy heart, I fondly remember my beloved brother who had been very devoted to Lord Shree Krishna.

My beloved brother.

I wish that the souls of my beloved parents and my beloved brother are at the Lotus Feet of Lord Shree Krishna and serve Him eternally.

My beloved parents.

Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏.

International Women's Day

Today is celebrated as International Women's Day.

Let me share UNICEF's media report on this day here.

Sarvam Krishna Mayam🙏.
