Independence day

As citizen of a country with great heritage, I join numerous fellow citizens in celebrating our country's independence day. Bhaarath maathaa kee jai🙏

Hayagreevaa Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calendar. This is celebrated as Hayagreeva Jayanthi.

Today is also followed as the day of Upaakarmaa. The riual is considered to recharge one's body, mind and soul spiritually.

Divine Info

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calendar for two aspects. Today is Ekaadashi. This day is also known as Hari vaasaram, meaning Shree Mahaa Vishnu 's day. 

Today is the beginning of a month long fasting known as Dhadi vrata, that is part of a four months long period of fasting known as Chaathur maasya vratham. 

Following is the image of respected Shree Satyatma Thirtha Swaamiji, the chief Guru of Uttaraadi Mutt, to which I belong:

Divine Mother Fest

Today is an auspicious day in the Hindu Calendar. Hindu women offer humble special worship to Shree Mahaa Lakshmi, our Divine Mother and beloved wife of Shree Mahaa Vishnu, These women offer their humble worship to Shree Mahaa Vishnu followed by humble worship to Shree Mahaa Lakshmi. 

Shree Mahaa Lakshmi's glories as accorded to her by Shree Mahaa Vishnu is documented in Lakshmi Tantra. In this, She describes her qualities as well as those of her Husband Shree Mahaa Vishnu, the Almighty, to Indraa. A divine presentation of this Divine Granthaa can be heard in this video produced by Adamaar Mutt. A respected Aachaar from the Mutt explains Shree Mahaa Vishnu and His wife Shree Mahaa Lakshmi' Abode in this video.

If we imagine the Universe as a manufacturing and services Company, Shree Mahaa Vishnu is it's President and CEO and Shree Mahaa Lakshmi, it's Senior Vice President.

A glimpse into Bhutan

I am viewing an interesting program titled 'GOURMET goes Tribal on Foxlife as I am writing this post. Though it is a foody program (in which I am usually not interested), this episode was shot in Bhutan, a beautiful and peaceful country, where I worked for a few years many years back. The presenter, a young Columbian guy compared the tribal dishes cooked in Bhutan with those in his home country. The program is unique in that there are no commercials in between. 

Prathap Pothen

I don't view as many TV programs as I used to until a few days back thereby not knowing as to happenings around.

A few minutes back when I was browsing UTube, I came across a video about the premature death of one of my most favourite actors, Prathap Pothen.

I remember Prathap Pothen's acting in a Tamil movie entitled "Nanjathai killade" released in 1980s. Although the title is a bit embarrasing, my brother told me that it was a good movie. My brother had a Vijay Super scooter and we both went to the movie. It was the only Tamil language movie, as far as I had seen, that never had any obscenity even in romantic scenes. (I think that I had come from Cochin during vacation and my brother had come on a weekend from Trichur, where he was working, at that time). 

The performing industry in the Indian Silver Screen has lost a versatile actor and a good gentleman. 

His fans will remember him for several dignified roles that he played in movies, particularly in Malayalam and Tamil.

Divine Teacher Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calendar. This day is celebrated as Shree Vedavyaasa Jayanthi. This day is also known as Guru Pournimaa.

Amidst a lot of chaos in the British Parliament after Mr Boris Johnson's infamous 'Party', the news that Mr Rishi Sunak is the top contender to the PM's post is a wellcome one.

Best wishes to him. 

Amazing Amazon

In my previous post, I had expressed my frustration encountered in online shopping. I could get my shopping done at Amzon's Online Shopping Platform easily. Thanks to Amazon technical staff.

Online shopping

Technology decelopment in mobile communication and online shopping has brought immense benefits to the average consumer, as most of us experience. But still there are bottlenecks.

I have been trying to place order for my regular use of Amul KoolCafe and Herbal Strategi's mosquitoe repellent. When I try using Netbanking, Google Pay etc., I don't find the name of the bank (in which I hold an account) listed in the options provided by the vendor/s. But even until two months back, I never had any problem in placing online order to buy mosquito repellent from Herbal Strategi. It is a new disadvantage from this vendor.

I think that vendors should try to fix such frustrating conditions.
