Shree Raam Temple
A few days ago I had to visit our Maadhwaa Mutt at Kumbakonam to meet the Managing Priest to speak to him that I shifted my residence to the town recently and about how to conduct shraardha ceremony of my parents and brother in the Mutt. After my meeting, I had the joy of visiting the devine Shree Raamanaatha Swaami Temple in town. It was a highly spiritually enriching experience. I write this not because I like to announce my visits to the Mutt and the Temple; I write this to make Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu happy in my humble manner.

Current climate in crisis
According to an authentic report and from our personal experiences, we find very hot climate currently. I am 74 years old. I have usually seen rainy season beginning in June itself. But this year, although 3 weeks have gone by after June ended, we have not had any significant rains.
According to our revered Sacred Sanaathana Dharmaa Scriptures, rainy season begins somewhere around this time every year. In sanskrit, the four months long rainy season is known as Chaathur maasya. This year, there is no trace of rain still.
Thus our climate stands unstable the cause of which is obvious human self centered atrocities such as carbon emission, deforestation etc. In spite of frequent multinational climate conferences, no significant steps seem to be taking place to fix the problem.
It looks like we are forcing our climate to stand on a tightrope.
I think that our Governments are not taking practically possible steps on this issue.

Divine Discourse
It was joy listening to respected Shree Chinmayaanandh Baapujee's divine discourse on Shreemadh Bhaagavath Kathaa on Aashthaa TV Channel this evening.
He explained the meeting of our mother earth and Dharma (Righteousness) and their conversation as heard by King Pareekshith.
The trilateral conversation is respected to contain deeply significant aspects of spirituality such as human sin and it's causes, need for physical and mental control etc.
Divine Discourse
It was joy viewing Shree Raam Kathaa by respected Morari Bapujee this morning. He gave the discourse from Kericho, Kenya. Besides explaing about Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu's incarnation Lord Shree Raam's life history on our planet, he mentioned the importance of Guru in our aadhmic journey.

Sparrows scarcity
A few years back I read a well written article on disappearance of sparrows from our concrete jungles which we call 'cities'. Every resident in our cities know this odd reality and how human self centered desires causes this extinction.
Half an hour back I heard a delightful sound of a sparrow at one of the windows in my house. I tried to catch it in my camera without disturbing the tiny bird. Thank God, I succeeded in my attempt. Following is a photo of the sparrow:
It is well known that sparrows possess enormous skill in constructing good looking and effective nests as shown in the following photo:
There is a popular story about sparrows in Panchathanthraa, a children's story book. This story mentions a sparrow and the theory of karma as mentioned in our Sanaathana Dharmaa. Let me share the story here.
