The fringe is becoming the mainstream and that is not good for India. #PadmavatiBan

The fringe is becoming the mainstream and that is not good for India. #PadmavatiBan Bollywood has a way of doing things. Padmavati protests are giving them a message.The protests are based on rumours that Khilji is depicted as hero and Padmavati in a dream sequence romancing with Khilji.In history, there is something called oral traditions.The vadakkan pattu shows Chanthu as chathiyan & molester trying to rape and Unniyarcha as fighter woman.But MT's movie makes Chanthu as hero and Unniyarcha as a woman who invites Chanthu to bedroom. Padmavathi is an icon for Rajputs so this issue can raise their sentiments.Bollywood, Cricket and Cow are diversionary tactics of politicians so that people do not know about misgovernance. Responses Jayakumar Hariharan Cinema is not documentary filming. Activists should leave the creative space to regulatory authorities and if absolutely necessary, courts.Bollywood, Cricket and Cow are diversionary tactics of politicians so that people ...

Temple Worship & Ishvara Upasana

Temples are social common places for group worship and prayers.They do not have any relationship to Ishvara Upasana.But people have the freedom.So they imagine that the Nandi statue can hear the worries they say in it's ears.A group of people will install stone or statue at a temple and conduct prayers there.Outside the room where this ceremony is done, common people will bring fruits, flowers, milk and ghee and keep it there.It will be taken and dropped on the Idol in the temple imagining in the mind that it is prasada and the devotees will eat the prasad.Such a system of temple upasana was formulated by our ancestors and is in place.Those who believe in this systems are present in large numbers.That is why temples like Tirupathi, Sabarimala and Guruvayoor makes lot of money.In Manjunatha temple, food is being served like a well oiled machine.In crowded places, chance of upasana to happen is rare.But chance is there for many other things to happen.Many pilgrims were dead due to...

Ernesto Che Guevara’s Opinion on Indian Cows

Ernesto Che Guevara’s impressions of India, recorded after a visit in 1959.These memoirs might not go well with present day people who call themselves communists , wear tshirts with images of Che guevara and conducts beef fest in Kerala out of hatred for hindus. Sacred animal This small, almost funny change, however allows the freeing of enormous quantities of dried cow excrement, ill-used as fuel, to be used instead as fertilizer. With a loving effort, children and women knead the bovine excreta, putting it to dry under the sun and later forming enormous pyramids of several metres high, quite like huge anthills. Thanks to the efforts of the Indian government, they shall now have their own little kerosene stoves and will fertilize their soil with that important product. One can quite understand that the cow was a sacred animal for the ancient ones: it worked in the fields, gave milk, and even its excreta had the enormous importance of replacing natural fuel, which does not exist...
