Kailash Mansarover and Muktinath

My relatives are going to the above places from South India. They have prepared well physically and religiously also. It will be a three week programme and they travel by train.
I searched the net about the places and have stored the same for detailed review.

Kailash is the holy mountain of Lord Shiva and Manas or Mansarovar is the birth place of Ganges. Kailash means the Ultimate Place to reach for in this Holy Life. The route is tough, the place is full of climatic surprises and you can witness all that is glory in your Life in the Yatra or Pilgrimage.

Muktinath is holy to Buddhists and Hindus. More about the places after I hear from my relatives own account.

Annai the Mother from France

I find that there exists no comparison to the love of mother. And think of our Annai for whom the entire Universe is a Child. She came to India to strengthen the spiritual links and spread it to the world. Our success in this world depends on our happiness and the Grace of God. Let us pray to Annai (Mother) for success in our life.
Our Mother was in France. She came to India and spread the Love.

Here are some links for more information on Mother:
“The Mother” in fact is simply an Indian title of respect for a female Spiritual Teacher, just as male Teachers are called “Baba”, meaning “Father” says the quote from the following site:

Ahead of their time

Some people have the habit of keeping their watch advanced by minutes to an hour to go the office on time. They do go on time, but create enough tension in their Home. They have watches in every room showing different times. They always deceive themselves of the correct time.

I do not wear wrist watches as it is summer and my Mobile shows me the correct time. I plan myself to be in a place 10 minutes before time to ascertain the area and main people gathered there.

If I keep active myself physically I have more time. And I have felt God to be there in time to avert accidents on the road. The statistics in the paper show many accidents. I have seen people who always start late and rush in their two-wheelers to office. They are lucky to have survived, but caused many accidents by creating tension for others. Man has the capacity to lose the balance on a busy road. He should not and be thankful to God who has given him the means of transport to the point of work.

I feel God is overseeing everything in the Universe and he keeps us fit in mental and physical condition to reach our destiny.

Judges of AirTel super singers

I really find the judges of AirTel Super Singers very enthusiastic, encouraging and happy. They really understand the starting problems of the Singer, the expert advice, the efforts to be followed to become a good singer and advice they give to young artists to follow. The amount of money they get is immaterial compared to the words they utter carefully and balance the show. They do not hurt the upcoming talents by unwanted words. They are 100% positive words to enhance the talents of the youngsters. Unless the youngsters are deep in their understanding of the Ragas they cannot shine.

SPB is a talented singer.
SPB (S P Balasubramanian), about whom I thought he can only sing, showed he has enough knowledge of the Carnatic and Hindustani music. What if the Carnatic Music people choose to damage the voice box like him? Music is divine and the Light Music is here to stay. People with more inner calm and expertise choose to sing Carnatic Music.

Master Blaster push for Mumbaites

It was plain to see Sachin Tendulkar pushing for Mumbai bowlers in the recent IPL Twenty20 matches. Though I was brought up in Mumbai, there was no feeling from a common Marathi man to differentiate me as a South Indian. They loved me as I was, enjoying my homely food and we were never looked down upon.

Mumbai has done us proud by giving Tendulkar, which is itself a big family name. He has been praised by the Don Bradman, the legend in Cricket, who played like playing in the Twenty20, many years back. Sachin believes the test matches make him best suited for playing any type of game One day international or Twenty20.

It was a surprise that Tendulkar was biased in using the bowlers from Maharashtra in the finals of IPL Twenty20 matches and it misfired. Now he talks high of Test matches. He is a great player, but his recent press comments are becoming a bore and tend to lean more towards bias for Bombay.
