“Ammalu, you blame me unnecessarily.
Have you ever seen me raising my head and looking into the
eyes of any woman other than you?”
“You didn’t look even into my eyes before our wedding.
I had to hold your chin, raise your head before placing the
garland around your neck! The moment you made sure
that the garland was in its place, raised your head which
hasn’t come down a bit till now”

good news
There is some encouraging news for the Indian nurses. Marina one of the nurses has managed to touch base with her father Jose and told him that the ISIS is ready to release them.
Jose informed that his daughter told him that ISIS told the nurses to keep their bags ready and they will be dropped to Tikrit airport soon. She however did not reveal anymore details even as the Government of India is examining this.
சொன்னால் விரோதம்இது, ஆகிலும் சொல்லுவன் கேண்மினோ!
Even the Gurus of the Hindu fold who are worshiped are shown as subservient to the God who they worshiped and not as Gods themselves. But what is happening in the case of Sai Baba is that he is being elevated as Shiva which has the potential to mis-guide Hindus into believing what he is originally not. There were many siddhas in the Hindu cult who gained extraordinary powers through their meditation and did miracles. Even they were not elevated on par with Shiva. — Jayasree
A controversy has erupted over the comments of Dwaraka Shankaracharya on Shirdi Sai Baba. Things seem to be escalating with Baba devotees going to court and Naga sadhus coming to defend the Shankaracharya who is facing a vilification campaign by Hindus and Bharatheeya writers. In my opinion this controversy was waiting to happen and it had happened now. With…

Avasaramae illai- not at all in a hurry.
Seshumama was proverbially a slow -action man. He takes an hour to eat his food, two hours to take bath and three to do his daily morning and evening poojas. We loved the simple minded, humble, soft spoken, slow walking , sincere Sesh . He can be trusted as a reliable friend except for buying medicines of urgent need.
“Avasarmae illai- not at all in a hurry” was his catch phrase..
Every one becomes old and mama too did. Nothing abnormal.
Yama, the Lord of Death came to pick him up. Again, nothing abnormal. What other works has he to do?
Due to traffic jam, Yamaji was delayed. Impressed by Sesh’s short stature, child -like face and virgin smile, Yamaji said, apologetically, “sorry for the delay Sesh”

War cry in holy cities

LUCKNOW: Emergency calls of ‘dharma yuddha’ are ringing across the akharas of naga sadhus who have been asked to stand up now to protect the ‘sanatan dharma’- Hindu religion.
The militant naga sadhus have been tasked with restoring the lost glory of the religion" that can be allegedly harmed by followers of certain deified figures, like Sai Baba of Shirdi.
Entangled with the war cry is the ‘honour’ of a Shankaracharya who feels Sai Baba is certainly not an incarnation of God.
To buttress this view of the Shankaracharya across the Hindu matrix, the akhara leaders have asked all the naga sadhus to assemble in Prayag Allahabad) and Haridwar.
Their target would be formulate a strategy on "demolishing the belief that Sai Baba was a God." The naga sadhus are believed to be in a state of meditation (tapasya ) round the year, except during the Shahi Snan in Kumbh.
But now they have been asked to take a break from asceticism and get ready for a war to save the religion. There are about two lakh naga sadhus in the country.
Observers say in case the naga sadhus take to the streets, it could be a major law and order problem.
It all began recently when Shankaracharya of Dwarka Peeth, Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati, objected to the worship of 19th-century religious figure Sai Baba by the Hindus.
Swami Swaroopanand had said Sai Baba of Shirdi was a Muslim and Hindus should not worship him. He had also claimed that Sai Baba was declared a Hindu avatar by those who have been trying to weaken the Hindu religion.
All of it irked hundreds and thousands of Sai Baba’s followers who are now gunning for the Shankaracharya. Swami Swaroopanand’s effigies were burnt and there have been allegations that his stance will promote enmity between the communities.
CAUGHT in the middle of it is BJP leader and Union minister Uma Bharti who had supported worshipping Sai Baba. Bharti had even said in Haridwar that she sees a "bhagwat satta" (presence God) in Sai Baba, much to the chagrin of the Shankaracharya and his supporters.
The Shankaracharya retorted by saying that used to think Bharti was a follower of Lord Ram, but she actually followed a Muslim and because of that she failed to construct the proposed Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Interestingly, Swami Swaroopanand is known to be a harsh critic of the BJP, PM Narendra Modi and the Ram temple movement.
He is perceived to be close to the Congress. His jibes come at a time when the BJP is in power.
Meanwhile, Swaroopanand’s anti-Sai Baba stance has been criticised by many. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) had said Swaroopanand’s criticism of Sai Baba was unnecessary. Two days ago, RSS leader Indresh Kumar said in Varanasi that the Shankaracharya shouldn’t interfere into the religious affairs of others.
Manath Gyan Das, former chief of Akhara Parishad, said, "It is a nonissue.
We cannot stop people from worshipping a particular spiritual guru. But Swaroopanand is creating unnecessary controversy for strange reasons." But, the Shankaracharya’s supporters are in no mood to relent.
They think any attack on their spiritual figurehead who is revered as a God- is nothing short an emergency. So, they are counting on naga sadhus.
Govindanand Brahmchari, secretary of Agni Akhara, said, "There is a religious emergency now and the naga sadhus are expected to take up the job actually assigned by Adi Shankaracharya who founded the akharas in the eighth century to train the sadhus as protectors of religion. We have asked them to assemble in Prayag and Haridwar."
Acharya Narendra Giri, secretary Niranjani Akhara said, "Some of our members have already started removing the idol of Sai Baba from the temples… The disrespect that Sai followers have shown towards the Shankaracharya wouldn’t be ignored. Our weapon-wielding sadhus would soon take up the issue."
A controversial seer who took part in Quit India Movement
AT 90, Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of Dwarka Peeth, is mired in controversy for his remark on Sai Baba, a seer revered by people as God across religions. Last week, the Shankaracharya described Sai Baba as a Muslim ascetic who could not be worshipped like a Hindu deity. On Sunday, he also taunted Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti to clarify whether she was a Sai or Ram follower.
Perceived to be close to the Congress party, he created a furore in Varanasi, from where Narendra Modi was fighting an election as BJPs prime ministerial candidate.
He forced the BJP to drop its Har har Modi, ghar ghar Modi slogan in the holy town and expressed serious resentment over the politicisation of the sacred mantra, Har har Mahadev. Swaroopanand also hit out at Modi during the run- up to the last two phases of the Lok Sabha elections, saying “ he could not represent Varanasi that is known for its composite secular culture as Modi oversaw a communal conflagration in Gujarat in 2002”. Born on September 2, 1924, in Madhya Pradeshs Jabalpur town, the Shankaracharyas original name was Pothiram Upadhyay. Leaving home at a tender age of nine, he went about on a pilgrimage where he met and became a disciple of Swami Karpatri alias Hariharananda Sarawati, who, in turn studied under Guru Dev Swami Brahmananda Saraswati.
At 19, he joined the Quit India Movement in 1942 and came to be recognised as a revolutionary sadhu.
Going back, after Guru Devs death in 1953, Swami Shantanand was made the Shankaracharya of the Jyotir Math. However, instead of him, Swaroopanand adopted a different guru called Swami Krishnabodhashram Maharaj, who was also in parallel made the Shankaracharya by Swami Karpatri.
Politics set in with Swaroopanand becoming the chief of the Ramrajya Parishad Party, which was set up by his original guru Swami Karpatri. By early 1980s, he managed to get the title of the Dwarka Shankaracharya, though sources said he spent most of his time in Varanasi and Madhya Pradesh, where he was born.
Faqir who believed in unity of religions
Maharashtra has always been known as the land of seers, but Sai Baba of Shirdi stands out for the simple reason that he was from the 19th century and he was photographed.
Though there are a very few photographs of Sai Baba, the fact that his image could be seen in flesh and blood unlike the corroborated depictions of other saints seems be reassuring for his crores of devotees not just in India but abroad too.
There is no information in details about the birth of Sai Baba. One fine day in 1858, he turned up in Shirdi, about 240 km from Mumbai, along with a marriage party, according to the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the biography of the saint written by devotee Govind Dhabolkar alias Hemadpant. The cavalcade alighted near the Khandoba temple at Shirdi where the priest on seeing the young fakir welcomed him as Sai, which means both a saint and master. The name stuck to him from then on.
He dressed as a fakir, resided in dilapidated mosque, chanted Allah Malik and also recited India’s holy scriptures. He talked about Brahma Gyana and the Brahman ( not the religion but the embodiment of the Brahma). He cultivated a fire in his abode at the mosque and gave its ashes the udi as prasad to his devotees.
He was so untraditional that he smoked a chillam and on certain occasions, offered to his devotees.
To which religion Sai Baba belonged? Unlike the self- appointed apostles of religion, Sai Baba professed unity of all religions and God as it is evident from his slogan Sabka Malik Ek . Hindus refer to him as Sai Nath as in the yogi belonging to the Nath sect who maintained the tradition of Kundalini awakening through the centuries, while for Muslims he is Sai Baba, an Aulia who had amazing healing powers.
Even before devotees begin flocking to Shirdi to seek his blessings, Dhabolkar in his book has mentioned how Sai Baba shared a good rapport with other saints of those times.
The story of 60 years of Sai Babas life at Shirdi is replete with miracles, including instances of healing. However, among the hundreds of miracles one that is well- known is the one where he lights diyas with water instead of oil. He took samadhi on October 15, 1918.
Today, the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust that runs Sai Babas place of worship at Shirdi is mammoth organisation, employing more than 2,200 permanent employees and 4,000 contract employees.
About 38,000 people come for daily worship at Shirdi, while on holidays and special occasions, it is close to a lakh.
