Nasty "Nargis"


Once again nature has shown its might in an ugly manner. At this time of calamity, I pray for the people who have lost their homes, children who have lost their parents, parents who have lost their children, and for the people who have lost their kith and kin. Let us all pray for them. I must recall that, when the low pressure (called Nargis) formed over Bay of bengal few days ago, we never thought this would be a disaster of this kind. When we were suffering under the scorching sun, the low pressure seemed to be a relief. In fact we all expected rain. But, Natures plan was different, as always. Immediately after the news of Nargis causing extensive damage in Myanmar, our initial reaction was "Thank God, We are safe".
What a shame?, How much mean we are. Are they not our brothers and sisters? Dont they deserve our support? Let us realise that, the entire world is a single family, and every human is our family member. Once again my deepest condolences to the people of Myanmar.

The Garden Fire

Image
Sundays sometimes make you lazy. You would like to do many things but endup doing nothing.The whole day would be passed without doing anything worthfully. But, ofcourse, trivial works such as cleaning your wardrobe, small repair jobs like, tightening the screws of your cycle seat, lubricating the scooter, door hinges etc. would be carried out without much fuss. I just looked out at the garden. It was untidy. Lot of trashes ( the once ornamental stuff of trees, now fallen leaves) covered the garden area. I decided to clean it and succeeded. After an hour of sweating, I dumped all the garbage and set fire on it. What a beautiful view!. I glanced, then stared at the flame. It was blazing. I felt a sense of pride in my mind. "Ah, How brilliant is the fire that I have set". I just sat down and looked it until all the garbage is burnt. My thoughts turned inside. Just setting fire to the material waste had given me so much satisfaction. We have dumped so much of trash in our mind in...

Dharbhai - An article by TRS Iyengar

Image
This article is on one of the practices widely used by Indian Brahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Dharbham or Dharbai.In all functions, auspicious or inauspicious, a performing person needs to wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reason of why it is to be used in the first place. What I learnt from my father is proved to be accurately correct by a Medicine Practitioner. A Doctor named Sadhashiv Rao, once visited my home. When the topic turned to many subjects, I needed to tell him about the Holy Grass namedDharbham. When I told him about the usage and the values, he could not just believe my words. So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, went straight to the clinic to take an x-ray of his palm, by covering his hand with the Dharbham. To his utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60% of the radiation! When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by the Holy Grass,why can it not absorb the ill radiations spread over the atmosph...
