Nama Japam/Nama Sankeerthanam/Reciting holy names of Him


Nama Japa/Nama Sankeerthana/Reciting holy names of Krishna/Rama/Shiva/Amba (any name you pray your istha daivam) is the prescribed path for the age of kali.

Holy names of Him will refine us (Ratnakara  to Valmiki) and will show us the path to Him (the ultimate goal of any human).

   by His grace! 
 
BTW, the very purpose of chanting His names should be for Moksha/liberation. Most importantly, one should never give up his/her prescribed duties. We get confused between being in spiritual path and worldly duties. It's very simple, as explained by Him in Gita, one should always do his duty (without attachment) and should also sincerely try for self realization/liberation. We should never stop doing our duties, NEVER. 


Jai Shri Raam 


QA: 
1) What is duty? 

Ans: Duty is everything that we are supposed to do (of course, in the right direction). For eg., we have to take care of our family, take care of our job (do it sincerely), do our duties as a citizen, 
fulfil our obligations/duties towards the mother nature etc.

2) Animals/trees are not attached to the outcome of an action nor they do action with some expectation. So, will they be liberated? 

Ans: No, they don't have the ability to identify their true self/Atman. Only Humans have that ability and the prescribed path/way for Kali is nama japa/smarana. 

3) There are many paths like Jnana, Yoga, Bhakti, and many philosophies like Dvaita, Advaita, Visistadvaita etc. Is nama japa/smarana alone  sufficient for liberation? 

Ans: YES nama (Raama) will take us from "Ratnakara to Valmiki". Yoga, Dhyana and Aaradhana (for Dwapara yuga) are prescribed for  previous yugas. In Kali yuga, the prescribed path is nama japa/smarana. But as we are in the beginning of Kali, we can do both Aaradhana and nama japa.

linking aadhar to property registration

I believe that linking Aadhar to property registration will be advantageous.

1) ownership can be identified and the scope for fake registrations will reduce
2) land mafia may vanish (I am bit optimistic!)
3) corruption may also reduce. As we know, most of the corrupt officials prefer to invest on properties.
4) most importantly, transactions will become more transparent

Hope our requests will be heard!

Jai Shri Ram

about income tax

I believe that individual income tax can be dropped in Bharath. Salaried class is the only class that files the returns sincerely. This can be replaced with a transaction tax as proposed by many economists.

Disadvantages of current tax system:
1) only employees are the major contributers
2) It burdens 3% of sincere tax payers
3) other classes escape this model

Advantages of Transaction tax:
1) All the citizens will be paying tax based on their consumption power
2) we will get more income
3) corruption can be curtailed

An eight year old girl killed by a pack of stray dogs

It is  a very unfortunate incident that happened in the District of Srikakulam Andhra Pradesh (on 14/7/2016).

Till late 90s, municipal authorities used to electrify or poison these stray dogs once they found them to be aggressive. But, due to the representations from animal right activists, now, municipal authorities are not daring to do so. 



This is not the first case of stray dog attack but if these animal right activists are determined that it can be the last one! But for that, they (all the animal activists) should give more value to the human life. 

I was moved with this news .....Hope all of us (especially these animal right activists) will understand the pain of that poor family.

My opinion: Let us tackle this stray dog (aggressive dogs only) problem as we did in the past.... and I request all the responsible and sensible people to write to the concerned Minister about the same.

Guruvayur Temple and Kids

Guruvayur Temple authorities follow rules very strictly.

If you are planning to visit Guruvayur with your kids (below 5 years), then call the temple authorities and check whether kids are allowed into Garbagruha or not. During some special poojas, Temple authorities prohibit kids from entering Garbagruha. Please call them to avoid inconvenience.

Also, dress code is strictly enforced irrespective of gender and age.

on Delhi gang rape


This was a shameful incident.

Culprits should be punished.

Fine! will it solve the real problem that is being ignored????

If you observe carefully, there is one common element in most of the rape/abusive/atrocity cases. That is Liquor!!!!!!!
Yes! in most of the cases the culprits are drunken.

Government should think in this direction and impose prohibition on Liquor. I feel that such incidents can be reduced by imposing prohibition.

I understand that it is a very tough decision to be taken as Govt gets thousands of crores as revenue from Liquor.
