Today is Ratha Saptami

Ratha Saptami or Surya Jayanthi is the day when the Sun, the source of energy for all life forms, changes direction, moving from southeast to northeast. He is visualised as doing so on his seven-horse chariot. Those who seek him today for physical nourishment (providing abundance of produce) and a life free from illness will find their prayers answered. Yoga sastra celebrates surya namaskar as being highly beneficial for one’s mental, physical and emotional well being.

Veda Vyasa highlights the efficacy of praying to

Narada Muni once went to Vaikuntha and served Mother Laxmi very attentively. Sri Laxmi was very pleased and requested Narada Muni to ask for any boon. Narada Muni replied, “My dear Mother Laxmi, you must promise that whatever I ask for, you will grant.” Laxmi Devi wowed that she would gladly fulfill his desire. The great saint revealed his wish: Narada Muni requested Laxmi Devi to give him the maha-prasada remnants of Lord Narayana.

Suddenly Laxmi Devi’s mood changed and her face became clenched with worry. “Please ask me for anything else except for

We all know that Bear-king called “Jambavan”was an obedient servant of Lord Rama, and he fought along His side against Ravana.

Jambavan was so powerful , that when he was young and when Lord appeared as “Vaman Dev” and He expanded Himself to take away everything of Bali Maharaj, at that time Jambavan did seven Parikrama of Lord, in a very short time.

This was told by Jambavan to his friends when they wanted to cross over Lanka.

Even on the battlefield in his old age, he just gave one kick to Ravana and Ravana fainted, such was his strength.

BJP supporters across the world must be wondering as to why BJP is not growing in TN as much as it grows in other states. Let me tell you a fact from ground zero

In districts like Salem there are a set of office bearers ( 5 to 6 of them ) who form a core group, this group decides the fate of the party in the district, this group decides who is entertained in the party and who is not. Those who fall in their line are entertained and those who don't are sidelined.

Members of this group can neither get deposit in their own street elections nor

Now the storm was

There was an young woman named Shabari who was a daughter of a hunter. She wasn’t a good looking woman, but her heart was pure gold. Before the day of her wedding she saw 1000s of goats and sheep that her father had brought to sacrifice, as it was a custom among the hunters of that time.

She couldn’t bear to see those animals being killed, so she ran away into the forest in the early morning to avoid the killing of those animals.

She went to many teachers and asked them to take her as their disciple and teach her ‘true wisdom’ (Brahma Jnana), all the

Sharing my experience

I happened to visit my friend a leading Oncologist in Chennai. I saw several children of various age groups with their heads shaved and venflon in their wrists

I asked him about the children, he said they are all undergoing treatment for cancer I was shocked to see such young kids undergoing untold pain and fighting for their lives. He told me there are several reasons for children getting cancer, prime amongst the causes is the indiscriminate and mindless use of pesticides by farmers.

In Sri Khanna there is a Deity of Gopal Krishna, a small Gopal. “laddu Gopal” as we call Him. There Mukundananda lived with his wife, their son was Raghunanda.

The father had to go and see some disciple who was on the death bed. He quickly gave the initiation to his son. The ugranaya, first mantra of the gayatri. “You can worship the Deity. Your mother will tell you what to do. I have to go to see my disciple, to help him remember Krsna at the time of death.” The he went off.

The mother said, “You just go in, you ask the Deity to accept the

One time Krishna and Arjuna returned to Dwarka.

Arjuna was handling the chariot, so when they reached Dwarka he was tired and went to the Guest House to sleep.

After a while, Mother Rukmini came to Krishna and announced that food was ready

Krishna said that we have a guest at home and I will not eat till he is ready.

So Mother Rukmini went to wake up Arjuna.

When she got to his room, she was so surprised to see that each and every part, each and every pore of his body was chanting “Krishna Krishna” even as he was sleeping!!!

Yesterday I drove from Salem to Kancheepuram and back 650+ kms in 6 hours flat.

Courtesy world class road infrastructure all along the way. Credit should go to Atal Ji and Modi ji.

These National highways have not only transformed the way we travel but has also transformed the lives of millions of people owning land living within a 5 km radius on either sides of the National Highway. Their property prices have multiplied and enhanced the standard of living. This along with pradan mantri gram sadak yojna has redefined the village infrastructure

Nice movie on Modi ji 2

India is the largest producer of Sago in the world and Salem Dt produces over 80% of sago in India

For the past three months Mettur Dam has been overflowing and flowing into the sea.

Both Dravidian parties have let down the people of Tamil Nadu. This water could have been used to recharge thousands of lakes in TN by creating a pipe network to transport water from one lake to another. Once a lake is recharged the water table in a 3 km radius increases dramatically and helps farmers

When you have money to build unwanted statues of those who humiliated Tamils and Tamil, why can't you improve the livelihood of millions of farmers by recharging lakes &

After the end of the Mahabharata war, the Pandavs heard the sound of laughter.

When they went near the source of sound, they could see Barbarika’s head.

Barbarika was none other than grandson of Bhima and Hidimba.

When he was a child he was taught by his grandmother Hidimba that one would be liberated even if he is killed by Krishna.

This lesson was engraved in his mind deeply and to fulfill this mission he perfomed austerities for many years and obtained powerful weapons from various demi-gods.

When the Mahabharat war was about to begin

WHEN THE KNOWER IS FORGOTTEN!

In the Bhagavatham, Narad Muni relates the story of a man by the name of Puranjan. Puranjan had a best friend and confidant, by the name of Avigyaat. Avigyaat was named thus because no one could know him or what he did. They were always happy together and in a state of eternal bliss. However, in course of time Puranjan forgot about his best friend and wandered away from the wisdom that his friend often used to offer him. In this new found freedom, Puranjan chanced upon a beautiful city with nine entrances called the
