Vedavyaasa Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. This day is celebrated as Vedavyaasa Jayanthi.

My cataract surgery

By God's Grace, I had my second cataract surgery a few days back and prescribed glasses. 

Although I am physically self dependent, as usual, my brother always offered his physical support to me immensely  by taking me to the Eye Clinic (that is located in the suburbs of the city) waiting at different counters and clinic rooms most often by standing (as seats were not vacant due to patient turn over). 

The Clinic staff were also very cordial.

My mother's death anniversary

According to our Maadhwaa community calender, today is the death anniversary of my beloved mother. As in every year after her demise, I and my brother performed the shraardaa ceremony that marks the occassion. I fondly remember my beloved parents. 

Traditional New Year Day

People in many regions such as Kerala and Tamilnadu in India celeberate today as traditional new year day. Besides, people in countries such as Cambodia in South East Asia celeberate today as the beginning of their new year. I have mentioned the historic evidences of the influence  of Indian regional  kingdoms in the South East Asia in my earlier posts.

Best wishes to all those who celeberate this day.

ABC AUSTRALIA and Aljazeera

As I would have mentioned earlier, Aljazeera and ABC AUSTRALIA have been two of my favourite TV Channels.

It was pleasure viewing a program on Guyana on Aljazeera and one on a music fest in Simpson Desert in Australia, this evening.

Hanumaan Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It is celeberated as 'Hanumad Jayanthi', birth anniversary of Shree Hanumaan, the greatest devotee of Lord Shree Raam, an Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu. 

Two fests

I had my second cataract surgery on 22nd, past week. That day was celeberated as traditional New Year's Day in many Hindu communities, including the one in which I belong. My best wishes to all those who would have celeberated Yugaadhi.

Tomorrow is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It is the birth anniversary of Lord Shree Raam, an incarnation of Shree Mahaa Vishnu.  It is celeberated as Shree Raama Navami.

See you soon

I am having my cataract surgery of my left eye tomorrow. I am advised not to use my computer or mobile except for making or receiving audiocalls, for a month. Hence I won't be writing any post for a month. 

Divine Parents' Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. Today is Ekaadashi, a very auspicious day on which Shree Mahaa Vishnu, our Divine Father is humbly offered special worship by devotees. Today being Friday, is considered to be auspicious and the day's governing Deity, Shree Mahaa Lakshmi, our Devine Mother, is humbly offered special worship by devotees.

Kripaluji Maharaj

Those who are regular fans of Sanskar TV channel's Vaishnavite programs may be familiar with Shree Kripaluji Maharaj and his informative discourses.
