The most blissful month

The most blissful month is "MARGAZHI". ( december - january) why this one so special? According to hindu mythology this month margazhi is considered as the early morning time for devas. Lord Krishna has stated in Bhagavat gita that " maasanam margasesha ha ", this means lord krishna is in the form of month margazhi. This is the month devoted only to god.

During this month the most celebrated "thiruvadhirai", "vaikunda ekadesi"and "christmas" falls. Keeping the religious aspects aside, scientifically ozone layer is in a closer position to earth than usual. We can feel this vibration.

A morning walk in any month is good for health. Especially the one in the month of margazhi is too good as plenty of oxygen is available. Oxygen is good for heart and also helps in keeping the mind fresh. For a combustion reaction to take place oxygen is the primary requirement. Like wise to ignite our mind and to concentrate well we need pure oxygen and this is in abundance in this month.

Margazhi - what first strikes is " thiruppavai " and " thiruvempavai ". These two are great tamil literary works which speaks about god. Thiruppavai was blessed to us by one of the twelve alwars "choodikodutha sudarkodi ANDAL". In this work there are 30 songs, one for each day of the month. This work is all about the glory of god. In each song there are simple rules that is to be followed to reach god. She practiced and also preached the same and reached god. This is said to be the simplified version of 'Bhagavat gita'.

Thiruvempavai is a boon to us given by " MAANIKKAVASAGAR ". He is one of the 63 nayanmars. He made revolutions using soulful songs which portraits god, as weapons and established shaivism more firmly when buddhism was penetrating in south india. Both these two works and many other works says only about the love to god. These two are considered as special works because of their simplicity.

Margazhi - speaking about this blissful month and if " MUSIC " - one of the eternal way to reach god is left, then this month is not complete at all. This is not a gift to all, but all can listen and enjoy good music. Music is a wonderful way of describing god accompanied by sweet music. Music is a magical ocean of 7 swaras. Many great composers have given us great compositions even about the suttle movements of god in a subtle and soothing manner. The compositions from them are their hearty experiences with god. They were so generous to us and blessed us with such compositions so that we can also enjoy god like them. Music not only takes the musician to god, but also the listener. Music with good lyrics is always soul stirring and the best soul cleansing tool.

The way to reach god is by loving all and believing him. All religion is one and preaches only good deeds and love to all. The ultimate aim is to attain the " INNER PEACE " po attains via kunfu, we trying to reach by different means. This is not about being religious. Religion is just a medium to have a matured mind. We all always have the feel, being in equilibrium but we lose control. To gain control we can think about any super natural power which moulds us both scientifically and philosophically so all of us can attain the alpha state - an equilibrium state. This blissful month enhances this path.

A BUSINESS DEAL

Education is the best gift one can get in life. But what is education??? Getting 1st rank in every subject, thats what we all believe. We never mind about the basic manners or people's character. The current scenario is in such a way that all of us wanted to do only professional courses, not knowing whats the exact talent within us. It is just because of this mentality of we the people, politicians play in educational system.

We people are ready to give lakhs and crores to get one professional course seat. We forget our real talents or interests. We just wanted to do what others do. Politicians make use of this and now the population of engineering colleges are increasing. Joining engineering is not a big deal. We should think for a minute whether we will be taught well. If this situation exceeds all other courses will lose its charm and professional courses will lose its value.

The talk of the town is "SAMACHEERKALVI". Pity on education and students. Politicians play with education. None of them wanted to serve the people or the country or at least education. The committee that discuss about educational system does not have a educated member who really know the value of education. Even in the committee that discussed about this samacheerkalvi was full of people who run a educational institution and not a educationalist. Not only this committee many such committees are so. One committee sits for framing the syllabus and some other committee sits for deleting the tough portions from the syllabus. The continuity get lost invariably.

Some people like our former chief minister flatter their own writings. They wanted to replace even the traditional "TAMIZHTHAI VAZHTHU" with their "semmozhiyana thamizhmozhiyam"and wanted their family member's writings in syllabus. Education is not a play ball. We should know the value of it. Everytime he exhibits the same "deerudharashtriya scenario".

We people should behave like educated. When we join our hands against these corrupted politicians we can save education and the future generation. Along with the professional knowledge parents should teach basic manners. Parents should make their children understand that all the courses are the same. All are interdependent. We can't live without a drivers, conductors, gold smith, farmers, teachers, vendors, business men, economists. All of us have to sail together. Society is not for engineers alone.

All men are equal. No job is inferior. We should change our attitude and save education from business minded people.

"LONG LIVE EDUCATION"

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

HAHAHA........................The common topic. Speaking about women empowerment shows that we don't think we are equal to men. We simply say they are dominant. Thing is we ourselves feel that we are submissive. Generally back stage work is difficult and that plays an important role in a stage play. Life is also a stage play. To organise a work is difficult. Women can do that very well. More than seeing what we don't have, we should improve what we have first.

Women are the driving force. The best example is from ramayana. Sita is everything in ramayana. Ramayana - if we see simply its about ram. But sita is the backbone of the epic. Valmiki himself says that ramayana is " sitaya charitham mahathu ". Had she thought for a second she would have finished ravana. But she did not do so. She waited patiently for her husband to save her from the evil force. No girl can be powerful like sita. She proves that " behind a man's success there is a women". The beauty lies there.

There is no woMEN without men. There is no feMALE without male. I don't say we should be submissive. I mean to say don't show that you are dominant. We need not be dependent on them. Lets understand we can't be independent. Because of our dominance we may lose our identity at times. It may lead to a situation where, in the word women, "WO" may come in front and will become "menwo" the word looses its charm and meaning once for all. Lets not misuse our powers and waste them.

We are not low when compared with men. We need not prove that we are powerful. We should use the power within and reach heights and make others reach heights but silently.

MODERNISM

Modernism is not the way of dressing and the way one hair looks. Modernism is a way of thinking. The extent to which Science is followed in day to day activities. There is a preconceived notion that if dressed in a modern outfit, people are so intelligent. External appearance doesn't matter. Just by seeing, people can't be judged.

We the people, give more importance to the external appearance. This ideology is to be changed. There is too much of western influence in the way of dressing and habits especially. This doesn't mean that one should not follow the western thoughts. The point is, should follow those that are good and healthy. Precisely, a group of people in traditional wear for an occasion and one is in modern outfit or the vice versa, people tend to spot differences. Should dress according to the climatic conditions and the social gatherings to be addressed. 

Not alone outfits. People smoke, drink influenced greatly by the concept of westernization. Have ever given a thought why people from the west drink? People blindly follow others, at times. Comment and criticise the one who doesn't follow the unhealthy western thoughts. Western people are in polar regions and the climate prevailing is extreme cold conditions. So, to maintain the body temperature people drink and smoke. India, a tropical zone. Summer is predominant. Whats the use in smoking, living in a place like kadapa?

One should act according to situations. Adjusting according to the situation says whether one is modern or not. One should think scientifically or at the least logically before following and criticising others. Thoughts are to be modernized. One should remember " ALL THAT GLITTERS ARE NOT GOLD",  composition of the elements in the metal to be evaluated, before using it. Because some may not be skin friendly.
