AWAKENINGS

Famous Tamil Poet Thiruvalluvar in his Thirukural said: " யாகாவா   ராயினும் நாகாக்க   காவாக்கால் சோகாப்பர் சொல்லிழுக்குப் பட்டு "                           குறள்   :  127   ( பொழிப்புரை : ஒருவர் எதைக் காக்காவிடினும் , நாவைக் கட்டாயம் காக்க வேண்டும் . அப்படிக் காக்காவிட்டால் , சொற்குற்றத்திற்கு ஆளாகி அதனால் துன்பப்படுவர் .) (Meaning: Even those who do not care to guard anything must guard their tongues. If they failed to do so, then they will suffer due to the unguarded words from their tongues.) In short, all problems of Rahul Gandhi – having Bails in about 7 Court cases - could be attributed to his unguarded tongue apart from his poor understanding of the consequences that may befall due to utterances emanating from such tongue. Added to that, Rahul suffers from poor stock of vocabularies in debates, discussions and public speeches.   Rahul’s deficiencies in dealing with his party men an...

                              

Three North East Lakshmies were Tirupura, Nagaland and Meghalaya where the BJP as the major partner in Tirupura, the minor partner in Nagaland and the most insignificant partner in Meghalaya won the Assembly Elections to form the governments for the second term. This Success is to be written in bold Golden Letters as the BJP’s Developmental and Poverty Alleviation Programs  had actually thwarted the Anti-Incumbency factors amongst the majority of the voters.   North East Region consists of 8 States viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Tirupura, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Sikkim. These States are called 8 Sisters of Main Land India and Modi had said that these States which were neglected by the then Delhi Congress Rulers had now become the main focus for Developmental Schemes in tune with the rest of other Indian States and that these 8 North East States are actually Ashta Lakmies – 8 Lakmies blessing rest of Indian States.    Spectacular Wins in Tirupura ...

Greatness of Huma bird as mentioned in Vedas is really fascinating. This bird lives in the sky very high and never comes to the earth. The bird lays its egg in the sky. The egg, while it is falling towards earth, hatches and the young one opens its eyes in the heat of the atmospheric pressure and flies on its own away from the earth towards its mother bird. Huma bird lives always in the sky – never to have the feel of earth. Huma is indeed heavenly bird.    There is a very interesting story about a mythological ‘Home Bird’ in Oriental literature.   Though Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said that it was a bird mentioned in the Vedas, there are no references to such a bird in Vedic literature. But there are indirect references elsewhere.   Ramakrishna pointed to Narendra (later Swami Vivekananda) and compared him to a Homa bird. This is what happened in the case of Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Vivekananda and the great Tamil saint Thiru Gnana Sambandhar. Even when they were ...

  A Salient Points from President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the nation on the eve of the 74th Republic Day, in New Delhi.   While Babasaheb Ambedkar and others gave us a map and a moral framework, the task of walking that path remains our responsibility. We have largely remained true to their expectations, and yet we realise that much remains to be done to realise Gandhiji's ideal of 'Sarvodaya', the upliftment of all.   We need to modify our lifestyle if we want our children to live happily on this fragile planet. One of the changes suggested pertains to food. I am happy to note that the United Nations accepted a suggestion from India and declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets. Millets were essential ingredients of our diet and they are making a comeback among sections of society. Coarse grains like millets are eco-friendly as they require less water to grow and yet they provide high levels of nutrition. If more and more people turn to millets, it will help...
