KRISHNA JAYANTHI ON 30TH AUGUST 2021 – MONDAY


Lord Krishna was eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu and was born on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha  (dark fortnight) of the month of Bhadrapad.

 

His birthdayday is known by different names like Gokulashtami, Krishnashtami, Sree Jayanthi and Shri Krishna Jayanthi.

 

Lord Krishna was born to Vasudeva and Devaki in Mathura at mid-night in the prison. Devaki’s brother was King Kamsa, the Ruler of Mathura who imprisoned Vasudev and Devaki as a priest foretold Kamsa that the couple’s eighth son would bring demise to him.

The first six children of Devaki were instantly killed by Kamsa.

 

But their seventh child, Balaraman’s foetus was magically transferred to the womb of Princess Rohini.

 

Similarly, the eighth child – Lord Krishna was saved by Vasudeva who carried the child from the prison and handed over to Yashodha and Nanda living in Vrindavan.

 

Lord Krishna’s early life at Vrindavan was full of fun, valor and joy. His love for milk, curd and butter had made him along with his friends to break the pots hanging in the houses of Gopikas containing them and hence Krishna was called as the ‘Makhan Chor’. This mischievous act of Krishna is now widely celebrated during his birthday known as the Dahi Handi Celebration. The participants are called as ‘Govindas’ who form a human pyramid to break the pot containing Prasad and Prize Money. 



On Krishna’s Janmastami, it is considered auspicious to recite or listen to the tenth Chapter of the holy book – The Bhagavad Gita – Vibhuti Yoga – 42 stanzas which reveals Lord Krishna’s infinite glories and opulence.

 

Prayers to Lord Krishna will expel darkness of our weaknesses, fears, defeatist tendencies and poverty with His Ever Powerful Radiance of Light of His Glories and Mercies and Compassions.

 

Let His Light be lit in the houses of All Our E-Touch Members.

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

Image
  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...

Carnatic Musicians Aiding for Christian Conversion Efforts – Courtesy: Naithrupan

Image
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...

2024 LOK SABHA ELECTION – TO WHOM TO VOTE AND WHY

Image
(Editorial published by E-Touch Digital Magazine – Written  by S. Sankaran, Editor.) Modi Sarkar is ruling at the Centre for the last 10 years – two continuous consecutive terms from 2014 to 2024. Bharat Voters had voted Modi in 2014 with 283 MP seats and in 2019 with 303 MP seats and the BJP had now set a target of 370 + MP seats in the current Lok Sabha Election which will be over by June 1 and the results will be out on June 4. To decide ‘To Whom to Vote and Why’, we have two different yardsticks for the ruling party – here it is BJP and for the opposition parties – here it is INDI-Alliances headed by Congress.   For Ruling Party – viz BJP under the leadership of Modi: Voter can judge the track records of the ruling party for the last 10 years and their programmes for the next 5 years. Unbiased assessments of various welfare schemes implemented by the ruling party from various reports – both government and media/print and various articles thereon – apart from the manifesto ...
