God is Love

             The term may be a cliché!It is usually found in all the religions. God is of course love. One can witness god during his exhibition of love to others. 
“Love your neighbour as you love yourself” quotes the Holy Bible. Loving others helps us reach the boons of Almighty. Serving others helps man ascend heaven according to Hindu philosophy.
I am gifted with three apples. One is for my kith and kin. Another one is for the needy. The final one is for me. This beautiful distribution is a divine order of the Holy Quran. Isn't this so beautiful? This shows religions demand love from humanity's.
I am reminded of Prahalad, the son of Hiranyakashyapu, when I speak about miracles. He was going against his father's wish of abandoning the prayers to Lord Vishnu. His father turned furious and planned to leave him under an intoxicated Jumbo’s foot. To surprise everyone, it did bow down to him. It is because Prahalad uttered Vishnu Nama always.
Are not we familiar with the story of Francis of Assisi? The saint who with the blessings of almighty preached to the birds. He, with the blessings, befriended a wolf and reformed cruel wolf. The wolf was earlier thretening the villagers became a tamed beast.
All these religious characters bring into my mind one of Shaw’s characters. He is Androcles, who escaped from Rome to a forest. He was once in a service of relieving a lion of its pain. He was punished for his escape from his service. He was offered as a meal to a starving lion. The incident surprised the spectators at the Parthenon.  The lion gratified him by sans eating him for his past service. He nursed the wounds in its paw.
If the religious characters are equated to Androcles, the situations seem to be same. The celestial blessings of the Fathers are responsible for the miracle in formers' lives. While it is Love in the latter’s miracle. From this, it is vivid to deduce that God is Love. Or God would help people who love other creations of his and karma too does the same.

Where is the Pa(Lo)st Bond?

Once best buddies, Sharing the greatness of their religions With each other, Amalgamating the two for a hybrid Din-il-lahi; The syncretic spirits that rose into rage When the crafty viceroy plotted For a crack in the Bengal presidency Have become dormant When the fissures were to occur In the great old civilisational center. What to call it? The reason 1. Personal 2. Fanaticism 3. Mark Antony mode of sedition.... O the third? Yes!!! Alas! The four cows are we? Fell prey to the lion Listening to the words of a sly fox. Once cousins and pals Casting explosives for vanquishing And the other shooting to defend not him But the country as his family, Losing his valuable life to guard the 'lives' of his countrymen.

Panmugam padaitha Kannagi

                                                                During our primary, all we know of Silappathikaram as one of the five great epics in Tamil. During the high school, a talented Tamil teacher would engage us for a span of half an hour and narrate the epic. The epic would be so concise. In the future stages, the teacher would read the poem from the informative Tamil text. The poem, “Thingal Potruthum...” is one of the best eco critical poems in Tamil literature. It is eco critical because, Ilango Adigal considers the sun, moon, the rain, the mountain and the place as a single entity. He is so philosophical that he shows these things as autonomous bodies and then gives priority to men. When our ages rose, our curriculum also grew. The teacher would always tell us that she would want the whole day as the breathing space to speak about the epic. The Tamil book had critical pieces. The best is “Kudimakkal Kaapiyam” by The.Po. Meenachisundaram Pillai. He is a very gifte

Puthumaipithan Enna Solgirar?

As usual, an introduction to something fresh is done by our teacher. One such idealistic influence on students like us was a freshener, the teacher introduced. We have a freshener in Tamil literature. He is called Puthumaipithan. The first respect I could give him is to remove the red line beneath his name by adding his name in the dictionary. This writer is a reformist. The writer became a very popular figure. In the life, he has led; he was blessed with the option to take his pen and paper to reform the country. Puthumaipithan was the writer of the story, “Kadavulum Kanthaswami Pillaiyum” (God and Kandaswami Pillai). The story is about an indigenous doctor, Kanthaswami Pillai. Doctor Pillaivaal also runs a magazine based on health care. He is like a normal businessman. Note this. He is a just a business man and not a business doctor. Puthumaipithan is very careful not to make him a mercenary completely and not too generous as well. His ‘generous’ nature is found when he asks Kad
