Mirror on the Wall

                                  “ JALLIKATTU”         “Komatha engal kulamaatha” This means cow mother is our goddess. The word KO has multi fold meanings. Thevaneya Paavanar in his article titled Aavum Tamilarum puts forth the greatness of cows with language as a base. The name given for cows is ‘ko’. The term ‘Ko’ also means God. The name was assigned so because of the reverence and dignity the ancient Tamils had for the bovine creatures. Every Tamil must be familiar with Kadai ezhu vallalgal. These great generous kings served not only human beings but also other creatures. Paari Vallal magnanimously offered his throne to a creeper. Began, a great King gave a blanket to keep a peacock cosy. Ancient Tamil royals were eco conscious. Every Tamil teacher will take pride in narrating the tale of Manu Neethi Chozhan. At the court of Manu Neethi Chozhan, a ...

                                                 Today spirituality is a very famous aspect. India is all times a spiritual country, or else there would not be the idol of Pasupathy during Indus valley civilization. This was further proved when people valued other religions and got themselves involved in them. Further, it is assured with the visiting, of the people from western countries, the mutts and temples. People, a few believe in ghosts than in god. They feel that god is mere corollary of science and co incidence put to gather.  It is precisely the unawareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit. The presence of the Holy Spirit is reminded by the miracles that have occurred in myths and histories. To put in actual terms, I devote myself to history and automatically to God. The incidents that happened in the devotees of saints, deities and apostles ...

For these past two days, I was preoccupied with the thought of how education ✐  had an impact on Indians in the ancient days; how Indians had stable minds. I found out all these from my schema. I ndian educational system was very practical so that people were very cautious about everything including space those times. Educated people were treated with dignity. The educated were those who committed no sin and crime. The art of archery was taught after getting the pledge of its proper usage. Now every weapon is used for destruction, to kill fraternity. Our ancestors considered education as God and a school, a temple to change the evil in man to good. It helps to change a liar into a truth-teller. We remember our Tamil teacher say, ‘chandror’(educated) will do no crime according to Thirukural. But today, crime among the educated is increasing. Today, people do not tell their infants Panchatantra or Tenali Raman or Birbal stories. In lieu of these stories, they teach them flags...

I sat in the car, Traveled long, found a meadow, The clouds played their percussion music, A dazzling streak of lightening, Made me aware of the rain. A pearl-like drop of the virgin rain, Took the seat on the greenish blade of grass, Another companion of it’s went Into the sand to explore the captives, The underground water. A coral bug was embedded on a jade leaf; The trunk of the tree was given a dull finish By.......the mist, and the rainfall Tore the mist and was clear. A bee sat sucking nectar Had a good meal and left Then a magnificent pair of hued wings Ascended the floral throne And fed on its delicacy. My eyes noticed all these But...did not notice the fantastic bow of colors- the rainbow. 

              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 ...
