Rascals in politics

This morning there was a lot of noise made by a male singer with nauseating  voice and bad music accompanied by very substandard amplifying system generating unbearably loud music outside my residence. It lasted for nearly two hours. I didn't know the reason  until in the evening when I came to know from TV News that today is the birth anniversary of M Karunanidhi, a former Chief Minister of Tamilnadu and leader of the highly corrupt DMK Party.  Karunanidhi  was well known as anti-Brahmin and highly corrupt rascal politician. 

It is high time that nasty political entertainments by politicians and party workers are banned.

Divine Discourse

In today's discourse on Shreemad Bhagavath Kathaa, respected Devkinandan Thakurji mentioned that  we are all decendents of Lord Brahmaa not descendents of monkeys. According to our Scriptures, Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu created Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma created Manu and Satroopa, a male and female respectively. We are all decendents of this human husband and wife. Ashamedly, our school and college textbooks still mention the absurd Darwin's Theory as if it is authentic. 

There are numerous misconceptions such as discovery of gravity by Isaac Newton, discovery that our planet Earth is spherical by Robert Cooke, and so on in our textbooks. I have mentioned these in a few of my earlier posts. I have also mentioned how irresponsible our textbook publishers and advisors have been.

Softrock music fest

Softrock music fans of my age know that ABBA, a Sweedish Music Band was very popular in 1980s.

I remember having seen Mama Mia, a 2008 Musical in which Ms Meryl Streep plays the lead role and sings ABBA's songs. It was shown in a restaurant in a cool evening in Phnom Penh. I and Hans Langendam, a Dutch colleague had gone to see the movie. 

This evening, ABC AUSTRALIA TV CHANNEL telecast an interesting documentary on ABBA Fest in Trundle, Australia thereby bringing back memories of the Band.

Divine Discourse

It was soothing to my loneliness-laden mind to view Shree Devkinandan Thakurjee's discourse on Shreemad Bhagavath Kathaa on Aashthaa TV Channel today. 

He mentioned the importance of repaying gratitude to His Almighty Shree Mahaa Vishnu, Sages, ancestors, living things and fellow human beings.

I heard from a discourse by a learned Maadhwaa scholar, that if sages, ancestors including parents, and other fellow human beings lead us in a wrong direction, it is our utmost duty to let them know that they are doing some thing wrong, and correct them if possible or simply ignore their 'guidance'.

Shree Devkinandan Thakurjee also explained what freedom means and how it's meaning is misused today.

He is considered as a charismatic and effective spiritual speaker at a young age.

The above mentioned concept was explained by Shree Raajivlochan Dasa also in his daily Discourse on Aashthaa TV Channel on 2 June 2026. He explained that if a person with utmost Devotion offers every thing that he/she does, humbly to Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu, his gratitude is automatically repaid by God's Grace.

If I were married to the right woman, I would have probably had a son or daughter who would be to some extent like Devkinandan Thakurjee or Shree Rajivlochan Dasa. It didn't happen.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.
