Google's birth anniversary

Today is celeberated as Google's birth anniversary. It is an undeniable fact that Google made our lives very easy in many ways such as online payment, as search agent for authentic information, thereby replacing libraries, with hardcopy books and magazines, and so on. 

Best wishes to Google, Sundar Pichai, it's CEO and all it's employees the world over.

Community service abroad

Usually when people leave their own countries and work abroad, they contribute their level best in the economic development of the host country.

Yesterday I happened to view a very interesting documentary featuring a middle aged Agricultural Scientist from Bangladesh working with local farmers in Japan by applying innovative methods that benefit the communities immensely. Let me share the documentary here.

Tea ceremony

In India, almost all our households use coffee or tea to drink daily. Most of us drink tea. That's all.

In countries such as Bhutan, China, Japan, Tibet and Cambodia, drinking tea is considered as a ritual based on local culture traditions. 

Let me share a Tea drinking ceremony that is practised even today in Japan.

Award to Mohanlal

News that Malayalam movie actor Mohanlal received the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke Award is a fitting recognition of his work all these years. Best wishes to him.

Raam Kathaa discourse

For the past few days, Aashtha TV Channel has been telecasting Raam Kathaa discourse by Shree Morari Bapujee Maharaaj from Uttar Pradesh. It was joy to see great spiritual speakers such as Shree Rajendradasji MaharaajGita Manishiji Maharaaj etc. at the discourse venue.

This afternoon, it was joy to see Shree Ankushji Maharaaj at the discouse venue.

Shree Morari Bapujee's discourses always end with chanting of the sacred Purusha Sooktham

I think that spiritual programs give great relief to very lonely and troubled minds like that of mine.

Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏.
