NAVARATRI – 17th to 25th October 2020







Navathri comes twice in a year – Chaitra Navatri  and Sharadiya Navatri.

 Chaitra Navatri which is popular in North India was celebrated from March 25, 2020 to April 2, 2020 this year.

Sharadiya Navatri is popular throughout India and this year, the festival will be celebrated starting from 17th October 2020 to 25th October 2020. 10th Day of Navaratri on 26th October 2020 is also equally important.

It is common knowledge that in the first three days of Navaratri, Goddess Durga is invoked in order to destroy all our impurities, vices and defects. The next three days Goddess Lakshmi is adored as a giver of material and spiritual wealth. The final three days the goddess of knowledge, Goddess Saraswati is worshipped.

9th Day in South India is very special, as the day is being celebrated as Saraswathi Pooja or Ayudha Pooja wherein books, tools and even vehicles are being worshiped as embodiments of Godliness giving us knowledge to enrich us with wisdom, power to accomplish our tasks and prosperity to lead a healthy and peaceful long life. 

And last 10th day is Dasara in North India and Vijayadasami (Victory Day) in South India. In North India, Effigies of Ravana,  his son Meghnad and his brother Kumbhakarna will be burnt as symbolic evidence of victory over evil forces by Lord Rama.

In South India, it is very auspicious to start any new venture on that Vijyadasami – victory – day.

Our E-Touch was started on the Vijayadami Day in 05-10-2003 – Sunday i.e. 17 plus years ago. (For your perusal the first issue is attached.)

In the midst of COVID – 19, the world is under serious problems in health, wealth and peace. Entire World is struggling to cope up with these unprecedented difficulties and it becomes a challenge for our researchers to find proper vaccine to win over this deathly disease.

E-Touch prays Almighty to help us all to end this dreadful disease and to regain our lost economic growth very quickly to restore normalcy in all respects.

Gandhi Recited Quran Verses in the Temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi

  Once Mohandas. K. Gandhi was reciting Quran in the temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi.   Then a woman from the crowd got up and asked Gandhi not to do so. Gandhi asked: Why?   Then that woman said that it is against our religion.    Gandhi said. I don't believe so. ..The woman replied that we do not consider you worthy to give order in religion..   Gandhi said that the vote of the people present here should be taken. The woman replied whether religion could be decided by votes?.   Gandhi said that you are obstructing my religious freedom. The woman replied that you are interfering illegally in the religion of crores of Hindus.   Gandhi said: I wish to listen to the Quran, now.  The woman said: And I will oppose it inside our temple.   And then hundreds of Valmiki youths stood by the side of the woman and started saying that before getting the Quran recited in the temple, show us by reciting Gita or Ramayana in a mosque and then we will allow this.   Seeing the growing protests, G

Carnatic Musicians Aiding for Christian Conversion Efforts – Courtesy: Naithrupan

Nithyashree Mahadevan , Aruna Sairam , OS Arun , Unnikrishnan , Anuradha Shriram , Tippu & Saindhavi – names that you’re most familiar with Carnatic music who are supposed to be a role model for younger generatons .  The above mentioned singers  stooped down to the lowest level possible. They all signed up to sell their music, Thyagaraja Kirthanas to christian mission by simply changing few words and singing in praise of Jesus. It is highly condemnable that they chose to replace the word Rama with Yesu and sang all the kirthanas . It is that same Rama and Krishna who showered their blessings and made them popular and these scumbags have decided to sell our kirthanas to churches who will use them ONLY to do more conversion. What a shame! On the contrary, Isaignani Ilayaraja that he will not score for the movie “ Periyar ” even if he is offered any number of crores – that is conviction! I see some people asking some stupid question “Haven’t we a

Nationalism – National Flag, National Anthem and National Song

Image
Ancient India was called as Bharatavarsa meaning thereby – the country ( varsa ) of Bharata – Emperor Bharata , the son of Shakuntala and Dushyanta Maharaja. Further, Bharata in Sanskrit means Bha – Light and Knowledge and Rata – Devoted and hence Bharata means ‘Devoted to light/knowledge’. In view of such loaded cultural and spiritual background about our ancient country, the constitution of India in its Article 1 (1) confirmed the name of India as Bharat and the actual wording runs thus: “India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States” and hence Bharat is officially acknowledged as the name of our country – though the ‘ sickular liberals’ do not want to acknowledge this fact – but, they want our country to be called as ‘India’ only. Because this name of our country leads to the historical evidence that Bharat’s territories extended to a large parts of present neighboring countries which ancients called as Akhand Bharat, Leftists Leaning Literates and Sicku
