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🙏.

My visit to dentist

This morning I had been to the dental clinic as follow-up. The dentist got my rotten tooth plucked out. He took updated measurements for my denture. My next visit is on Friday.

Although the clinic is just five minutes walk from my sister's house, as I still have some balance problem when I walk, I use a walker. When elderly people have balance problem, a common solution is to use a walker or assisted by any attendant in the absense of walker. Sushma, my niece, is very kind to accompany me to the clinic and back even when I use walker. She did M Sc Microbiology and B Ed.

Dr Naveen Joseph Muliyil, the dentist, Dr Merlin Muliyil, his dentist wife, and the paramedical staff at their clinic have been very kind and hospitable. The clinic is very patient friendly and excellently maintained.

A few days before I left Chennai and was suffering from severe ill-health, my landlord and his wife, both highly qualified engineers, about whom I have mentioned in my previous posts) were very kind in providing food, packing my luggage and arranging for calltaxi.

My sister has also been very kind although she has pain in the leg due to recent falls; she has been taking medicines for her high BP and diabetes.

I thank all these people. With heavy heart, I  fondly remember my beloved brother (six and a half years younger than me) who used to take me many times to Aravind Eye Hospital in Chennai to treat my cataract.

Krishnam Sarva Mayam🙏.
