As the First Planetary Hour Ruler is Venus today, 06 04 18, and Shukra syat Gana Nayako Bhagavathee... The Eightfold Verse about the Mother Divine

Like Socrates who said " I know nothing, not even my own ignorance", Sankara was also known for his humility. "I know not Philosophy, Literature or Science " , he says in his poem, Bhavani Ashtakam. I am one of the worst beings and my only refuge is Thee ! 

 Neither do I know how to donate, 
Nor Meditation transcendental 
Neither do I know Tantra, 
Nor the stanzas of prayer great, 
Worshipping is unknown to me , 
Nor do I know the art of yoga, Thou art my only Refuge , O Mother Divine !

 Ashtapadi VII - Sa Virahe Tava Deena - Ode to the Lord

The Lord was pining
For his beloved Prakriti
He was observed
Sitting with melancholy
Grief due to separation
From his beloved Radha
Had devastated Him Radha's confidante
Tells Radha's state of mind
To the Merciful Lord !

And Mother's Fourth Aspect !

Massive crowd at Peruvanam Pooram !

Western brothers enjoying Peruvanam Pooram

The Payyaruli Temple

The concept here is that of Lord Krishna milking the Upanishads ( cows ) to give us its quintessence, the Gita, Sarvopanishado Gavo Doktha Gopalanandana - Navaneeta Krishna. The Day of Consecration is on the Pooyam Day ( when Moon tenants Pushya ), in the month of sidereal Edavam ( and when the Sun tenants Taurus ).


One of the incarnations of the Lord, Sage Parasurama, did severe penance here and the place vibrated with positive energy. As the highest positive energy is Deity, the Divine Presence was felt ( and it remained in a dormant form ).

A native of the village felt the Presence. She observed that a milking cow went and stood in a particular place and from the udders of the cow a fountain of milk anointed and cleansed the area. She reported this to the King and the astrologers divined the Glorious Presence there. The King constructed a Temple and installed the idol of the Lord there, so that the fortunate natives can get the benefits of the Presence Divine !
As the cow indicated the Divine Presence.

Our socialist friends say that Sanskrit & Hindi are being enforced by the Centre. They have to be enforced ( at least in CBSE syllabus & Navodaya ), as one is a Scholarly Language and the other, National Language.Those who are against may be eyeing narrow, political gains !

Thiruvathira Purappad of Lord Sasta

The Sun enters Zero Degree of the Sidereal Zodiac on 14th

The Sun enters Zero Degree of the Sidereal Zodiac on 14th. His gross Right Ascension will be Zero and Declination Zero. This is widely celebrated by the wise as Vishu, the Harvest Festival.

An Agri Festival, Vishu marks the end of the blistering heat which characterised Pisces and Aquarius, Meena and Kumbha. There may be moderate rains in Kerala, but will accelerate after Sun transits the 45th Degree of the Zodiac, Edava Pathi, on May 29th.

Happy Vishu in advance !

True Theocracy !

Moving towards a Theocratic state, said some unkind gentleman about the Beef Ban in Maharashtra.

I was reminded of a quote from Aurobindo

True Theocracy is the Kingdom of God in Man and not the kingdom of a Pope, a priesthood or a sacerdotal class !

Less meat means less cancer, less cirhossis et al and Cruelty to Animals is prevented !

Be veg. Cruelty begets untold suffering !

Happy Siva Ratri !

Save Nature, Save Biodiversity !

Prof Madhav Gadgil wrote : 

The Western Ghats are naturally an important focus of sustainable development efforts. The protector of the Indian peninsula, the mother of the Godavari, Krishna, Netravathi, Kaveri, Kunthi, Vaigai and a myriad other rivers, Kalidasa likens the Western Ghats to a charming maiden; Agastyamalai is her head, Annamalai and Nilgiri the breasts, her hips the broad ranges of Kanara and Goa, her legs the northern Sahyadris. Once the lady was adorned by a sari of rich green hues; today her mantle lies in shreds and tatters. It has been torn asunder by the greed of the elite and gnawed at by the poor, striving to eke out a subsistence. This is a great tragedy, for this hill range is the backbone of the ecology and economy of south India.

Pls implement the Gadgil Report. Save Nature, Conserve Biodiversity !

Happy Narasimha Jayanti

How glorious Thy nails
Which tore into the Ego
The Ego which exists in all
Whose emblem is Hiranyakasipu
O Lord of the Universe
O Thou with bountiful hair
Thou shook the Universe with Thy Form
Hail O Lord of all that is !

Thava kala kamala varai
Nakham abthutha sringam
Dhalitha Hiranyakasipu thanu bhringam
Kesava ! Dhrutha ! Nara Hari Roopa
Jaya Jagadisha Hare !
