Women, Do not let your husband love you passionately

I was reading the biography of Tulasidas

Following is a small fraction from his life

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tulasidas married Ratnavali, who was a very intelligent and pious lady.

Tulasi loved his wife, and could never stand even a moment’s separation from her.

Once he crossed a flooded river to see his wife, who was visiting her parents.

Ratnavali got angry and said "What do you get by loving this mortal body?

If you were to love Lord Sri Rama like this, you would get mukti."

These words rekindled his love for Sri Rama, he renounced family life and started traveling across north India, preaching Sri Rama’s life. In Chitrakoot, he wrote the masterpiece Rama Charita Manas. He wrote in one of the Hindi dialects known as Avadhi spoken around Ayodhya region. Tulasidas employed "doha", "chowpayee", "swaratae" and other meters in his poem.
==============================================================

The entire story is given as narrated by Siva to Parvati.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Following are my observations

1) Tulasidas loved his wife passionately, which made him a saint

2) He became the devotee of Rama who struggled throughout His life because of his wife

3) Again if you in-between the lines, the story is given as narrated to Parvati by Siva again a passionate lover telling stories to wife

My point is that eventhough Tulasidas quit his family, he got aligned with the appropriate team and his writing also reflects the love of a passionate husband only

first Forgery

actually i have been trying to post this for a long time



the credit goes to My Lord Siva?!



is it surprising you?



yes. here comes the friendship of Siva with Sundarar



sundarar is one of four great saints of the Saivites



when the milk ocean was churned " Aalakala Visha" the deadly poison emerged; there was no taker and the target was Siva



he asked the Devas to bring the poison to Him; since it was hot and deadly nobody was ready to risk; so Siva only had to solve the problem



He saw the mirror from which emerged Sundarar; so Sundarar was the person who did the deadly work



afterwards he came to this earth as destined by my Lord



he wasnted to marry a girl which was not in the design of schemes



so Siva took the form of an old person and brought a leaf document of those days claiming Sundarar's forefather has signed the document which said that all the members of that forefather's subsequent generation would be this old man's (Siva's) slave



the signature was verified; all confirmed that it matched with Sundarar's forefather's



so Sundarar had to go with old man-Siva- without marrying the girl



forgery for a cause, because it meant friendship

Dance within a dance

Our place also saw the dance of democracy on 30 4 09;

Our office was on yesterday; only permission for 2 hrs either in the morning or evening

I took evening permission;

Started late at 4 15 and reached polling booth at 4 45 pm

With luck could locate my name in the voter’s list and reached the room where I was supposed to vote

All were being asked ID proof

I showed my office ID card which the PRO rejected stating that the GO is very clear on the proof—it could be driving license, passport, ration card etc

I said I didn’t have any of the above at that time and said I have copies of my electricity bill and phone bill

All except the PRO supported me

I argued that by seeing the face you can assess the genuineness of a person

I was furious and shouted that genuine person would be denied and the fakes would be allowed

The police ( 2 men ) guarding the room laughed

First time in my life I saw police person laughing

Even though they did not tell that even terrorists are more handsome than me I could tell myself

Then went to another senior PRO and asked him; he asked the location of my house

I said the time was 4 55 PM ; another 5 mts polling would be over;

He directed me to the senior most officer who was about to leave

I showed my company ID and my visiting card

He took me to the room and advised my villain PRO to allow me

All were happy to see me back

They said it was a well-fought genuine case

I said they were all right and I was also right

The polling officer said it was just 5 PM and I was the last person to vote

I voted happily with a sense of fulfilment

I thanked the other PRO who was instrumental in my successful voting

The police guarding the room also laughed happily again

it was as if the candidate contesting from our constituency had been elected

a great feeling and experience

i remember the words from Anbe Sivam Tamil movie " Life has in itself lots of surprises and turns"

Kalki Avatar found in Sri Lanka

After Hitler, Saddam and George Bush now Kalki has reincarnated as Mahendra Rajapakse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday being Pradosh day I had darshan of Lord Siva

Then many thoughts crossed my mind including the news of Sri Lankan security forces chasing children and women and killing them like dogs, tearing their ears, raping women etc;

Is it not true that, God is everywhere?

Is it not true that, God is merciful?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Kurushetra war actual enemies were the brothers, Kauravas and Pandavas, but many soldiers also got killed for none of their mistakes similar to the killings of US forces in Iraq and IPKF soldiers in Sri Lanka during Rajiv time

We have to level our mind with the following story:

It is told that the mother earth got over-burdened with lots of population; she being close to Vishnu asked Him for help.

So Krishna was born and became the crusader for the killing of the undesirable brutes and the innocents as well

Areh Krishna! You do not want to quake the Earth? It would be a less painful affair allowing humans die with some dignity!

Oh! It’s your wife; you would not like to disturb.

Krishna! I am presenting a story from your previous avatar

Rama was wandering in the forest

He heard a feeble sound

He finally located the sound from under His foot

He lifted His foot

There was a frog

Rama said “ You poor creature! You could have called me when I started trampling you”

Frog replied “; My Lord! Whenever somebody hurt me, I always call Rama, my saviour; but when Rama Himself is the reason for my hurt whom shall I call? “

“ Leave it Krishna! Laws change for every Yuga “

Touch Me Not--A Love Story

While coming back from office eyes fell on the T shirt of a boy “ All Love Vanish “;

Even though it is not as attractive as the provocative captions like “ Touch Me Not”, “ For Your Eyes Only “, “ High Tide “ worn by grown up girls, this phrase evoked some feeling in me

There cannot be a love better than mother’s love
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know a mother of 3 boys and 4 girls;

Her husband is no more

She is not well now; heart enlargement; more than 80 years old

She was with the youngest son

After getting sick went to the eldest son

After 2-3 hospitalizations the son told openly that she should die

The next son said he was unlucky as their father expired after visiting him

………………………………………………………………………………..

Foot Note:

1) That mother used to fight with anybody whoever blamed her sons
2) In India sons are most sought after species as they are supposed to lit the final pyre

Females--to be or not to be

The following news appeared in the newspapers today

Shika Sharma quits ICICI; speculation is that she is joining AXIS bank as MD; Pangal Jayendra Nayak,Chairman and CEO of AXIS quits 3 months ahead of his term



Ladies are intelligent and are not lesser than any male on earth

When I read this I remember an episode from Ramayana

Hanuman meets Janaki; he offers to lift her and fly off

For this Sita replies “ Do you think I can not destroy this Lanka by my mere looks? The reason for my not doing is that I expect Rama to rescue me; otherwise he will be under rated

Now read this introduction from the article “An Educator's Guide to Gender Bias Issues “
Technologies should be equally accessible to male and female students. Yet, as girls enter adolescence, large numbers of them tend to lose interest in science, math, and computer science. Girls are narrowing the gender gap in science and math, but not in technology (Closing the Gender Gap: Gender Gaps Fact Sheet, 1997). Overall girls' test scores and course enrollments have risen in these areas, with the exception of computer science. In order to attempt to address this issue, the cause of the discrepancies between males and females in computer use must be established. Several issues need to be addressed:
What is gender bias?
What evidence is there that a technology gender gap and gender bias exist?
Why are girls in their adolescent years losing interest in computers?
What are the differences and similarities between how males and females perceive and use technology?
What technologies are out there? For whom are they intended?
What role do parents, educators, and manufacturers have in encouraging technology use among females?
By addressing these questions, a better understanding of the gender gap in technology can be attained and solutions to closing the gender gap can be studied. While progress has been made to encourage girls in math and science, parents, teachers, and manufacturers have just begun to look at girls' use of computers and computer related programs.

Going by the newspaper, who is greater?

When the male cats close their eyes, will the world become darker?

Dear males…please give way to females; females will do it better
