civil unrest have become a part of our daily life.

At times like these we welcome festivals like Navarathri and Vijayadashmi. This festival of victory is the worship of Shakti, the Goddess of Power ( Saraswati the Goddess of Learning, Durgaa the Goddess of Strength and Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth ).The Ninth day of Navaratri ( Navami ) is celebrated as Ayudha pooja. Vijayadashmi symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and exhorts mankind to wake up from the slumber of ignorance, indifference and negativity. It serves as an opportunity to purify their mind and cultivate positive virtues. Even the good and the righteous can succeed against the evil forces only when they come together in an organized endeavour. Vijaya Dashami is resplendent with many an inspiring episode reflecting the victorious culmination of deeds of valour of our illustrious ancestors. Many victorious struggles against adharma have been started on this auspicious day and we wish all the people who strive for the goodwill of our nation, culture and heritage a successful path ahead and all the courage to face whatever hurdles they face in their day to day activities.

Vidhyarambham reiterates the importance of knowledge for our society. From being a festival of auspicious beginnings for children, it is now becoming an opportunity for the society to enhance on this knowledge and dispel the darkness in their life which in turn will reflect in the society. The lack of this knowledge of the significance of our actions results in the ill effects we feel and see across the nation today.

As the Navarathri approaches we are reminded of the great sacrifices the Mother's of Bharath have given to our nation. They are the foundation of our society and nation. The Goddess herself took the avartar of Mahishasuramardhini to eradicate the evil Mahishasura in a nine day battle to protect the goodness of mankind.

'ya devi sarva bhooteshu matru roopena samsthitanamastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaha'

Devi, who art manifest in all existence as mother, I worship thee, over and over and over again.

Great stalwarts like Sri Narayana Guru, Mata Amrithanandamay Devi, Gandhiji, and Dr. S. Radhakrishnan have lived and are still living their pious life for the sake of the society and the nation. May we all take inspiration from these great souls and proceed to do our karma.

Onam season has come to Kuwait. Seva Darshan wishes all its members and Sopanam readers a very happy festive season.

Every festive season in Bharath has a message of unity, service to society and a strong resolve to work for the upliftment of the nation. Mahabali is an iconic leader who dedicated his life for his people. Maha Vishnu himself took avatar to remove the only one quality that was Mahabli's drawback - his pride. Mahabali's life lives testament to the fact that love and service for the people of the nation will show great improvement in the quality of their life. Maybe this is what our political and social leaders need to learn from this festival.

While festivities play an important part in society in bringing families and people together, we must make sure we do not take this as an opportunity to steer ourselves away from our dharma. Our dharma tells us to live a simple life and to strive for the welfare of our family, society and nation.

We have ample examples in front of us which tell us that Adharma has always been defeated by dharma. Not adhering to these gives us unwanted results like those we see today around us. Our society has become lethargic to the extent that corruption, terrorism and

Navarathri…. 9 Divine Days

Navaratri represents celebration of Goddess Durga, the manifestation of Deity in form of Shakti [Energy or Power]. The Navarathri festival or ‘Nine Nights festival’ becomes ‘ten days festival’ with the addition of the last day, Vijayadashami which is its culmination. On all these ten days, the various forms of Mother Mahisasura-mardini (Durga) are worshipped with fervor and devotion.

The significance of Navrathri Puja is mentioned in several Puranas and many other scriptures. As every other Hindu festival, Navratri also has some particular reason or factors to celebrate. Hindu culture and way of living was started with Shakti worship. In other sense, every Hindu religious legend is associated with Shakti pooja.Our Puranas urge that Shakti Puja is the base for Hindu culture and Hinduism. During the time of Navratri, in some places farmers get their yield from farmyards. In those places, Durga Navaratri is celebrated jubilantly. This is the main reason behind the grand celebrations of Navaratri in Karnataka and Bengal.

Navratri is divided into sets of three days to adore three different aspects of the supreme goddess (or goddesses).

First three days The goddess is separated as a spiritual force called Durga also known as Kali in order to destroy all our impurities.

Second three days

The Mother is adored as a giver of spiritual wealth, Lakshmi, who is considered to have the power of bestowing on her devotees inexhaustible wealth, as she is the goddess of wealth.

Final three days

The final set of three days is spent in worshipping the goddess of wisdom, Saraswathi. In order to have all-round success in life, believers seek the blessings of all three aspects of the divine femininity – Adhiparasakthi……hence the nine nights of worship.

The Eighth day is traditionally Durgashtami.

In some parts of South India, Saraswathi puja is performed on the 9th day. Ayudha Puja is conducted in many parts of South India on the Mahanavami (Ninth) day with much fanfare. Weapons, agricultural implements, all kinds of tools, equipments, machinery and automobiles are decorated and worshipped on this day along with the worship of Goddess. The work starts afresh from the next day, i.e. the 10th day which is celebrated as 'Vijaya Dashami'. Many teachers/Schools in south India start teaching Kindergarten children from that day onwards.

During Navratri, some devotees of Durga observe a fast and prayers are offered for the protection of health and prosperity. A period of introspection and purification, Navratri is traditionally an auspicious and religious time for starting new ventures.

Saraswathi Puja

"Saraswathi namasthubhyam, varadhe Kaamaroopini

vidhyaarambham Karishyaami, Siddhirbhavathu Mesadha"

Saraswathi, the goddess of knowledge and arts, represents the free flow of wisdom and consciousness. She is the mother of the Vedas, and chants to her, called the 'Saraswathi Vandana' often begin and end Vedic lessons. She is the consort of Brahma also revered as His Shakti.

It is believed that Goddess Saraswathi endows human beings with the powers of speech, wisdom and learning. She has four hands representing four aspects of human personality in learning: mind, intellect, alertness and ego. She has sacred scriptures in one hand and a lotus – the symbol of true knowledge – in the second. With her other two hands she plays the music of love and life on a string instrument called the veena. She is dressed in white – the symbol of purity – and rides on a white swan – symbolizing Sattwa Guna or purity and discrimination. The learned scholars attach greater importance to the worship of Goddess Saraswathi. As a practice, only educated people worship her for knowledge and wisdom. They believe that only Saraswati can grant them 'moksha' - the final liberation of the soul.

Navarathri signifies the continuing faith of a devout Hindu in the power of Shakthi. We should inculcate in our children the same fervor and devotion so that our future generations reap the benefits of a tradition well preserved. May this Navarathri bring peace and prosperity to our readers’ families!!!


Gayatri raveendran



Shanti Mantras are recited at the beginning and the end of prayers, religious discourses and ceremonies.

Shanti Mantras are found in Upanishads, where they are invoked in the beginning of some topics.

Shanti Mantras are supposed to calm the mind of the person reciting and the environment around him/her. Shanti Mantras are recited to remove any obstacles for the task being started.

Shanti Mantras always end with three utterances of the word "Shanti". There is a reason for this. According to the Hindu scriptures, sources of obstacles and troubles are in three realms - physical, divine and internal.

• Physical or Adhi-Bhautika realm can be source of troubles/obstacles coming from external world, such as wild animals, people, natural calamities etc.

• Divine or Adhi-Daivika realm can be source of troubles/obstacles coming from extra-sensory world of spirits, ghosts, deities, demigods/angels etc.

• Internal or Adhyaatmika realm is source of troubles/obstacles arising out of ones own body and mind, such as pain, diseases, laziness, absent-mindedness etc.

Together they form "Tapa-Traya". By invoking Shanti Mantras obstacles from these realms are pacified.

The beauty and uniqueness of these Shanti mantras are their universal appeal.

Following are some of the famous Shanti Mantras with their meaning.

The Woman of India has been a subject of vari-ous documented films and articles. They have been both of wonder and disgust. There have been many civilizations in the world that have given their women great prominence and have worked towards their upliftment. But upliftment should not mean simply respecting them and putting them at par with their opposite genders. Bharat has been a nation that has allowed their women to live in honor and their importance in the society has been viewed with respect and they have been al-lowed to live their life to their maximum potential.

As the world civilization is evolving from past mis-takes and is trying to emerge from their darkest era, Bharat seems to be moving from a glorious past to a horrific future. Our Vedic ancestors have so much importance to the woman that they have been glorified as Goddess and even the important quali-ties of human life like fortune, learning, strength, power, time have all been given the feminine em-bodiment. Our own nation Bharat is given the femi-nine form of Bharat Mata (our Motherland concept).

Today we see women in India being exploited and in the name of freedom and liberalization a section of the female society embraces certain western con-cepts to an extend that it has started disintegrating the society slowly. The male genders now see wom-en as a commodity that can be traded either through marriage or for money. These opposing and often tragically violent theories have opened up a can of worms that is now showing its results with an in-crease in divorces, live – in relationships, one parent children and so on. The worst part is that the soci-ety has now started to accept these realities with a

Manu Smrithi, which is often quot-

ed as a male chauvinist literature says,”

A Women must be honored and adorned by their fa-thers, brothers, husbands, and brothers in law, who desire their own welfare. Where women are honored, there the gods are pleased; but where they are not honored, no sacred rite yields rewards. Where the female relations live in grief, the family soon wholly perishes; but that family where they are not unhappy ever prospers. The houses on which female relations, not being duly honored, pronounce a curse, perish completely, as if destroyed by magic. Hence men who seek (their own) welfare, should always honor wom-en on holidays and festivals with (gifts of) ornaments, clothes and (dainty) food.@ (Manu Smriti III.55-59) The Vedas say when a woman enters a family through marriage is comes to rule along with her husband like a Queen. The Woman of India in his-tory have risen to great heights in leadership, wars, spirituality, literature, science, governments. All these would be possible only due to respect they commanded and were given. A diversion from this is what has led us to the plight of our Mothers today.The holy book of the Hindus, the Vedas have chapters revealed by woman contrary to many extinct and liv-ing religions and traditions. Some of the woman rishis even advised the God’s as per the religious scriptures. This honor toward women should be maintained by the preservation of genuine Vedic culture, which has always been a part of India. The foreign influences that have come due to years of invasions and by way of intelligent conversions have broken the basic pil-lars of our morality. The foreign invaders saw wom-en as objects for sex, enjoyment and exploitation. With decay setting into our Vedic culture the edu-cation of the society of the divinity of the Mother was completely lost. People became more posses-sive and their realization and development has been only about oneself and his family and not about the society or the Nation. This led to the woman be-coming mere property that changed hands with age.As we move into a very materialistic phase of our civilization, it has become a mad race to gain more wealth and enjoyment. Though it’s fast becom-ing essential, we need to read from our ancestors as to how they kept a balance without leaving the society like zombies feeling hollow and no know-

ing why. Our culture demands that all women, ex-cept wife, be treated as his own mother and every girl as his own daughter or sister. It is essential for religious and cultural leaders to rise up to the oc-casion and educate the society these values that are essential for our society to sustain and grow.In this way, the change in the attitude toward wom-en in India was due to a loss of culture and of the true Vedic standards. Thus, it should be easy to see the need for organizations that will keep and teach the proper views, which were once a basic part of the genuine Vedic traditions. When the society stops to maintain the equality between the genders , it loses its harmony and ceases to be progressive.Women are the foundation of our family life. They raise the children and provide them love and un-derstanding that is essential in the development of our next generations. Like our mother who loves us, Mother Nature and Mother Earth also give us our resources. Mother is the first guru of a child. In our spiritual traditions also we have seen the pair-ing of Gods with Godesses, Radha – Krishnan, Sita – Rama, Parvathi – Shiva are some examples. Wom-en have also been the protectors of our culture. Ev-ery girl must have the opportunity to learn the spiri-tuality of our nation along with modern education. We have very fine examples of the historical role of woman in our nation. Sati, Sita, Kunti, Anasuya, Madalasam. Draupadi, Gargi, Savithri. In more recent times we have Kittur Rani Chennamma, Rani Lax-mi Bhai, Jijabai, Mira Bai and many other stalwarts.

Modern India today where women are occupying places of prominence & power there has been a drastic shift in the way women are being perceived. Youth in the metropolitan cities feel that there should be no distinction made between genders anymore. Since now both have got equal support & freedom to compete with each other, in the corporate world some positions are found ideal to be occupied by women where male candidates are not entertained. But having said all this, there should not be any sense of rivalry arising out of this competition. Having given our womenfolk the means to rise up with their talent & caliber can be a great service to the nation, more than we could think. In fields like Sports, Corporate world, Military & social service

Indian women have given priceless contributions. Such contributions have brought fame & glory to our Nation regardless of their gender. To name a few - Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi, Kalpana Chawla a decorated NASA Astronaut, Kiran Bedi for her in-valuable contributions to the society & police force, & sportswomen like P.T. Usha, Saina Nehwal etc.

Thus by giving women the space they right-fully deserve & respect to motivate them fur-ther would help India reach greater milestones in many other areas of global importance.

We should however fight with a strong resolve to curb the atrocities on women which is prevalent in the rural areas. This will give more strength to our country's women. Many great talents have of-ten been found in small towns & villages. The youth should see the womenfolk with a sense of respect and treat them with dignity as our age-old culture has always believed in doing so.

The planet Earth is a gift to us by God. It is sustained life for millions of years, be it in any form. Resourc-es on which we thrive have been in abundance. But as man pushes forward for more and more, he has forgotten the importance of saving our planet so that its resources last for millions of years more. Urbanization, pollution, and other related activities have contributed to environmental hazards, global warming, and depletion of the planet’s resources.

Hinduism has often been coined as an "environ-mental friendly" religion. Hindus regard everything around them as pervaded by a subtle divine presence, may it be rivers, mountains, lakes, animals, flora, the mineral world, as well as the stars and planets. It is so because the Divine reality is present as Prana / Shakti energy, power, in every electron, particle, atom, cell and in every manifestation of matter.

Dharma: Ecological balance Dharma was the underlying principle of political, economic and social relations in a state, and this principle was to be extended even to the earth and its products.. What is Environmental Ethics? Environmental ethics is a branch of environmental philosophy that studies the ethical relationship between human beings and the environment. Environmental ethics has given a new dimension to the conservation of natural resources. Environmental ethics believes in the ethical relation-ship between human beings and the natural environ-ment. Human beings are a part of the society and so are the other living beings. When we talk about the philosophical principle that guides our life, we often ignore the fact that even plants and animals are a part of our lives. They are an integral part of the en-vironment and hence have a right to be considered a part of the human life. On these lines, it is clear that they should also be associated with our guiding principles as well as our moral and ethical values

Top 10 Ways to Save The Environment

Most of the human activities lead to environmen-tal pollution. The overly increasing human popu-lation is increasing the human demand for re-sources like food and shelter. As the population is exceeding the carrying capacity of our planet, natural environments are being used for human inhabitation. Thus human beings are disturbing the balance in the nature. The harm we, as hu-man beings, are causing to the nature, is coming back to us by resulting in a polluted environment.

We are going against the true ethical and mor-al values by disturbing the balance in nature. We are being unethical in treating the plant and animal life forms, which coexist in society.

Human beings have certain duties towards their fellow beings. On similar lines, we have a set of duties towards our environment. Environmen-tal ethics says that we should base our behav-ior on a set of ethical values that guide our ap-proach towards the other living beings in nature.

Environmental ethics is about including the rights of non-human animals in our ethical and moral values. Even if the human race is con-sidered the primary concern of society, animals and plants are in no way less important. They have a right to get their fair share of existence.

We, the human beings, along with the other forms of life make up our society. We all are a part of the food chain and thus closely associated with each other. We, together form our environ-ment. The conservation of natural resources is not only the need of the day but also our prime dutyCurrent Environmental Issues

The green cover is rapidly shrinking on Planet Earth and the pollution levels are rising. Well, today, hu-mans have to combat many such manmade effects that have harmed the Mother Nature in many ways over the years. Alarming climatic changes, defores-tation, destruction of habitat and extinction of spe-cies, rising pollution levels are only some of the current environmental issues we are faced with to-

day. Let’s have an insight to some of the major en-vironmental issues we need to deal with currently.

Global Warming:Global warming is one of the major issues we are being faced with. The term signifies an increase in the atmospheric temperature near the earth’s surface, which is caused by various reasons. Scientists are of the opinion that a rise in the carbon dioxide levels will further aggravate the situation. The greenhouse effect causes the earth’s heat to be trapped in the atmosphere, which results in the increase in tem-perature. Global warming has thus caused a change in the climate of the earth, causing temperatures to rise. This in turn has an effect on various species dependant on the basic laws of nature. A change in the same makes survival a difficult issue. A warmer earth also causes changes in the rainfall patterns and thus affects humans, plants and animals as well.

Ozone Depletion:CFCs are considered to be the main cause of ozone depletion. The term, ozone depletion, implies a decline of the quantity of the ozone in the Earth’s stratosphere. The loss of ozone in the lower strato-sphere was first recorded in Antarctica in the 1970s. Chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs for short, are used in aerosol sprays as well as air conditioners. These when released into the atmosphere add to the ozone depletion. The ozone hole in the Antarctic is caused primarily due to these CFCs. Due to ozone depletion; humans are faced with various other problems such as the harmful effects of the UV rays, which in turn affect plants and various other species of animals.

Pollution:Pollution is something that we face on an every-day basis; probably this is something we may even be immune in our fast paced lives. Air pollution and noise pollution are increasing at an alarming rate today. Air pollution occurs with the addition of harmful chemicals into the earth’s atmosphere. The main pollutants that cause the same are carbon monoxide, CFCs, nitrogen oxides and sulfur diox-ide. Water pollution is caused when wastes are re-leased into the water that contaminates the same. Soil can even be contaminated due to various indus-

trial activities. Noise pollution is also a current en-vironmental issue that causes harm in various ways.

Loss of Natural Resources:With the increase in population, one can see the loss of natural resources. This is caused due to various human activities. There are many reasons that cause loss of natural resources. This in turn af-fects the ecosystems. Activities such as overfishing have even caused many species to be on the brink of extinction. Forests are being cleared to meet the rising demands for the need of paper, wood or even for land. Mining and the burning of fos-sil fuels have led to further depletion of resources.

These are some of the current environmen-tal issues we are facing today. With an ef-fort from each individual, we can only hope to save our planet from being destroyed.

Top 10 Simple Ways to Save the Environment

We might think that saving the environment is the duty of the government and the big shots of soci-ety, but you couldn't be more misguided and wrong about that. There are countless things that one can do in our own ways which will ensure that the pres-sure on the environment is lessened. Let's take a look at a comprehensive list to save the environment.

Remedy # 1 - Saving WaterWater is a rare commodity and it won't be long be-fore we will need to fight for clean and fresh wa-ter. That is why saving water and preventing water pollution becomes very, very crucial. Keep simple things in mind like turning off the tap when you are brushing, do not load the machine or the dish-washer if there is a less load of clothes or dishes, do not use a hose pipe to wash the drive way, instead use a mop and broom, reduce the amount of baths that you take and switch over to showers instead. Do not discard paint and oil into the drains, these will make their way into the nearest water body and pollute it further. These are some ways to save the environment for kids and adults alike. Think back to the ways in which you use water and look for ways in which you can curb or reduce the wastage.


Remedy # 2 - Save PaperSave paper to save trees. And their importance I don't have to spell it out for you. Make sure that you use both sides of paper before discarding it, if you can, try not to use paper as much and do not forget to recycle paper. Similarly, using cloth in place of paper can do wonders to save a huge bulk of paper.

Remedy # 3 - RecyclingSpeaking of recycling, it is one of the most impor-tant practices that needs to be taken up urgently. This ensures that the environment is not further polluted and cause for dangers like so. Recycling does not simply involve recycling paper, but things like plastic, tin and metal scraps, office supplies like cartridges and more. This ensures that they are con-verted into material that is reusable and also puts less pressure on the environment and its resources.

Remedy # 4 - Saving ElectricityAnother factor to be looked into urgently? Sav-ing electricity. What are the ways in which this can be done? Switching all the electrical appli-ances off when you're done with them, using less energy-consuming bulbs, using cold water instead of hot to wash clothes, using the stairs instead of the lift, keeping the thermostat or air condition-er on a moderate setting to consume less energy.

Remedy # 5 - Growing VegetablesGrowing your own vegetables helps you to nur-ture high quality organic vegetables with mini-mum use of chemicals and pesticides. This is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your own health. This being one of the most ef-fective ways of how to save the environment.

Remedy # 6 - Switch to Biodegradable ProductsThere are so many chemical and synthetic prod-ucts that we use which find their way into wa-ter streams or the air and lead to more pollution. That is why making use of biodegradable prod-ucts for the sake of washing utensils and clothes, fertilizers for gardens and the like is one of the simplest and most effective choices to make.

Remedy # 7 - Planting TreesThere are trees being cut down very single

day. Do your bit and plant more plants and trees. You are not only replacing the lost ones but are also ensuring less pollution, and curb-ing green house effect and global warming.

Remedy # 8 - Practicing Ethical FashionTurning vegetarian is a great way to save ani-mals. Animals are being hunted for their fur and other body parts which leads to their extinction and thereby affects the human race directly. Along with ensuring not killing them for food, one needs to also look into the way in which one makes use of animals in the fashion industry. Practicing ethi-cal fashion is therefore very, very important.

Remedy # 9 - CompostingMaking use of composting bins in the garden is a great way to prevent littering as well as provid-ing you with natural manure and fertilizer, that is not harmful to the environment in any way.

Remedy # 10 - Maintaining that Car

One other thing that is usually neglected is the maintenance of one's car. There are harmful gases and chemicals that are dispelled into the air if the car has not been serviced well, did you know? Make sure that the car is kept in proper condition and taken for regular maintenance so that it give its optimal performance. Similarly, other appliances need to be maintained as well.The Earth is getting destroyed. We humans are at fault. Let us work together to save it. Save it for ourselves and for future generations

Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian Freedom Movement – Cultural & Rural Orientation

Definition of Independence – Rama Rajya

Rama Rajya as a concept was projected by Mahatma Gandhi. When he was asked about the Ideal State, he talked about Rama Rajya. By using the Rama Rajya slogan, Gandhiji implied a State where values of justice, equality, idealism, renunciation and sacrifice are practised.

Gandhiji worshipped Lord Rama till his last breath. For Bapu to remember Rama was very natural. According to him, “Whether Rama of my imagination ever lived or not on this earth, the ancient ideal of Rama Rajya is one in which the meanest citizen could be sure of swift justice without an elaborate and costly procedure. Rama Rajya of my dream ensures equal rights alike of prince and pauper”.

Gandhiji emphasized that by political independence he did not mean an imitation of the British House of Commons. He stressed on the need to have a System that suited us, Indians, describing it as Rama Rajya i.e., sovereignty of the people based on pure moral authority.

Mahatma Gandhi’s concept of Rama Rajya excluded the replacement of the British army by a national army of occupation. As per Gandhiji, a country that is governed by even its national army can never be morally free and therefore, its so-called weakest member can never rise to his fullest moral height.

At the peak of the Freedom Movement, Gandhiji had the courage to state that there could be no Rama Rajya in the then state of iniquitous inequalities in which a few rolled in riches and the masses

did not get even enough to eat. His opposition to the Socialists and others consisted in opposing violence as a means of effecting any lasting reform. He could not accept nursing of violence in our hearts under the garb of non-violence.

Respect for Beliefs

Gandhiji was emphatic that Hinduism taught him to respect all religions. He stated that this was where the secret of Rama Rajya existed and for seeing God in the form of Rama Rajya, the first requisite was self-introspection - magnifying our own faults a thousand fold.

Gandhiji and The Bhagavad Gita

During the Indian Freedom Movement, notable commentaries on The Bhagavad Gita were written by Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi, who both used the text to help inspire the Indian masses. No book was more central to Gandhiji's life and thought than The Bhagavad Gita, which he referred to as his "Spiritual Dictionary".

During his imprisonment years, Gandhiji studied the book in detail. Due to insistence from his friends, he translated it into Gujarati, his mother-tongue. Gandhiji’s reading of The Bhagavad Gita not only strengthened his resolve to fight the adharma of British occupation but also showed him the path to fight the battle in a way that involved the masses.

Mahatma Gandhi often acknowledged the profound effect of The Bhagavad Gita on his life. He especially liked the last nineteen verses of Chapter II of The Bhagavad Gita that he felt summarized his concept of Dharma. He felt that the Mahabharata war mentioned in the great book was only a pretext; it represented a battle going on, within every individual. The Dharma preached by The Bhagavad Gita, according to Bapu was self-less action, i.e., renunciation of all fruits of action was the ultimate message. Lord Krishna, to Gandhiji, was wisdom personified.

According to Gandhiji, a true votary of Gita does

not know what disappointment is. He had said, “When disappointment stares me in the face and all alone I see not one ray of light, I go back to The Bhagavad-Gita. I find a verse here and a verse there and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming tragedies - and my life has been full of external tragedies - and if they have left no visible or indelible scar on me, I owe it all to the teaching of The Bhagavad-Gita”.

Development of Rural India

Mahatma Gandhi always had the feeling that the dream of an ideal village could not be fulfilled until it is free from all kinds of ills and crimes. He once remarked, "India lives in her villages but unfortunately, our rural India, the real India, is afflicted with poverty and social squalor. We can improve the condition of India only when we improve the conditions in our villages. If villages thrive, we all would thrive”.

अनंत संसार समुद्र तार नौकायिताभ्यां गुरुभक्तिदाभ्यां

वैराग्य साम्राज्यद पूजनाभ्यां नमो नमः श्री गुरुपादुकाभ्यां॥

VANDE ViSWAMAThARAM

– That which helps cross over the ocean of Samsara, by being like a boat, That which endows me with devotion to Guru, The worship of blesses us with dominion of renunciation. My prostrations to those holy sandals of my Guru.

- I again and again prostrate to those holy Padukas (sandals) of myreverential Guru,which serve as the boat to help cross this endlessocean of samsara, which endowus with devotion unto our Guruand with whose worship we are blessed with the dominion of

renunciation.Uniquely tolerant and expansive in its world view, India is home to countless philosophies and belief systems. But however varied in its manifestation across Her length and breadth, there is an underlying unity behind this diversity-the culture of India is deeply rooted in spirituality, andit is the Sanathana Dharma.

This can be credited in large part to the rishis ( sages), who taught the values of love, compassion, truth, and selflessness-the essential universal principles of spirituality and established rituals and customs intended to preserve and pass them on to the future generations.Their vision of life has brought up the four Purusharthasnamely Dharma (righteousness) , Artha (wealth) , Kama (desire) andMoksha(salvation). These practices included temple worship; the four phases of life (study, family life, solitude and renunciation); chanting of mantras; festivals; sixteen major samskaras (rites of passage to be performed by or for an individual beginning with conception and continuing up to the last rites performed after death); and so on.

Over the ages, these rituals gradually lost much of their significance as people began to perform them as a matter of routine, going through the practices

without giving a thought to the meaning behind the action. Later on the study of Vedas, the performance of temple rites were confined to Brahmins (priestly class). Many restrictions were imposed on the common public in matters of worship. It is believed that modern society is suffering as a result of this decline in values.

Over the past three decades, Amma, Mata Amrithanandamayi Devi, has dedicated Herself to restoring these values and to bring home to the people true meaning and significance of many traditional rituals and festivals. She has also initiated revolutionary changes to meet the need of the times. She has encouraged all people-no matter what their caste, race, or gender-to chant mantras, perform pujas and even serve as priests. AmmaPopularized chanting of Mantras, the LalitaSahasranama and practicing Manasa Puja. She lends Her blessing and participation to many of the major samskaras, from teaching children the alphabet to performing the last rites; from wedding ceremony to sannyasa initiation. We can observe all the Purusharthas are cleanly and clearly implemented by Amma's social activities. As a revolutionary change Amma had implemented Brahmacharinies as priests in her Brahmasthanam temples.

Amma is the sole inspiration and leadership of Ashrams activities in the society in vast areas of Cultural & Spiritual, Disaster relief, Health care, Education, Social welfare, Nature Care and so on. Many people wonder how a little girl from a simple South Indian village came to be known throughout the world as “Amma, the Mother of All.” Motherhood, in its ultimate sense, has nothing to do with bearing a child, but with love, compassion and selflessness. It lies in totallygiving one’s self to others.

In the Humanitarian Activities, as part of the AmalaBharatam Campaign (ABC), the Math has decided to observe the fourth Sunday of every month as Cleaning Day with a view to making India litter-free. IAM (Integrated Amrita Meditation )is a simple combination of yoga, pranayama and meditation for modern days.The technique is a synthesis of traditional, time-tested methods suited for the current mental conditions, time-constraints and needs of modern man.

If we look at Amma’s life, this is what we see—someone who has offered her every thought, word and deed for the benefit of others. Giving is the essence. It’s just that

when the homeless come crying for shelter and Amma gives them a house, we call her a “humanitarian.” And when the sorrowful come crying for emotional solace and she gives them love, we call her a “mother.” And when those thirsty for spiritual knowledge come earnestly seeking and she gives them wisdom, we call her a “guru.” This attitude of selflessly serving all creation, knowing others to be extensions of one’s own self, Amma refers to as vishwamatrutvam—universal motherhood. And it is to this pinnacle of human existence that Amma is trying to awaken the world through her life, teachings and darshan [divine embrace].

Questions about the nature of the soul, the universe and God; about dharma, love and family life; about meditation and other spiritual practices…. Amma has been clearing the doubts of sincere seekers on such subtle subjects since her youth. She never had a guru nor studied the Vedas, yet she speaks on the truths expressed within the scriptures with wisdom, clarity and true insight. Hers is not an academic knowledge, but the knowledge of one who is ever-established in the Ultimate Reality. It is for this reason that Amma’s simple childhood home has become the spiritual home to thousands—an ashram where aspirants from around the world reside in order to imbibe Amma’s wisdom and realize the Truth that is their real nature. The seeker is instructed as per his level—from the child to the sannyasi

Starting her spiritual practice from the small district of ParayakadavuAmma has become world – famous today and is known for her humanitarian activities across the globe. Amma Also known as the ‘Hugging Saint’ in the west. Amma is known to hug and bestow her unconditional love on people from all walks of life.

Amma was born in a poor fishing village in Kerala, in 1953. Her fatherSuguna fish to make a living. Her motherDamayathi relates that the child wasn’t born crying as babies usually are, but with a beaming smile on Her face. She was given the name nandan sold Sudhamani (Ambrosial Jewel).

Even as a small child, it was clear that She was unique. At six months She could walk and talk, and by the age of three She was constantly singing. By the age of five She was composing beautiful, extraordinarily profound hymns to Her beloved Krishna.

Sudhamani charmed and delighted everyone around Her. But as She grew, Her divine moods, including frequent meditative states, singing, and ecstatic dancing beside the seashore, began to annoy Her family. At the early age of five Sudhamani was already subjected to severe scoldings.

When Sudhamani was nine, Her mother became ill. Although Sudhamani was the brightest girl in Her class, She had to leave school and take care of Her entire family.

It was a grueling task, with seven brothers and sisters to feed and clothe, and animals to tend. She virtually became the family servant, working from before dawn till midnight.

From the literal school of Grade 4, Amma grown to the highest form of teacher-a Jagat Guru, imparting True Knowledge to the world. Amma says there are two kinds of education: education for life and education for livelihood. According to Amma, the most important thing is spirituality, or education for life. But at the same time Amma also stresses “education for living.” It is Her wish to bring the two together, creating professionals in all fields with the skills, the mental strength and the heart to uplift the world.Amma has established a vast network of educational institutions that provide the most modern educations while imparting the traditional values of Indian culture.

Amma set up Her first educational facility in 1987-the Amrita Vidyalayam primary school in Kodungallur, Kerala. Since then, the Mata Amritanandamayi Math has established more than 60 education facilities throughout India, including engineering, Management, journalism, IT and medical schools. Today, the majority of these are part of Amrita VishwaVidyapeetham, or Amrita University.Education for life and education for living-in Amma’s hands they have become one.

Mata Amritanandamayi's life and work is a living example of universal love and service. There is no better method of teaching than first to elevate oneself through intense sadhana and then to live in accordance with the truth of one's realization. After the mission of Sri. Ramakrishan and swami Vivekananda a centuary back, it is now Amma's role is vital in the nation's life when we come to know more and more about the magnitude of her work and attainment. Humble Pranams to Amma .Amma's 58th Birthday is celebrating on September 27, 2011 .

"everyone in the world should be able to sleep without fear, at least for one night. everyone should be able to eat to his fill, at least for one day. there should be at least one day when hospitals see no one admitted due to violence."

– Amma

Dr. S Radhakrishnan

Sept 5,1888 - April 17,1975

• First Vice President of India

• Second President of India

• Philosopher

• Teacher

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was born on September 5, 1888 at Tirutani, Madras in a poor Brahmin family. As his father was poor, he supported most of his education through scholarships. He had his early education at Gowdie School, Tiruvallur and then went to the Lutheran Mission School in Tirupati for his high school. He joined the Voorhee's College in Vellore and later switched to the Madras Christian College. He chose Philosophy as his major subject and did his B.A. and M.A. in it.

After completing his M.A., he accepted an Assistant Lectureship at the Madras Presidency College in 1909. In college, he mastered the classics of Hindu philosophy, namely the Upanishads, Bhagvad Gita, Brahmasutra, and commentaries of Sankara, Ramunuja and Madhava. He also acquainted himself with Buddhist and Jain philosophy and philosophies of Western thinkers such as Plato, Plotinus, Kant, Bradley, and Bergson.

In 1918, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was selected as Professor of Philosophy by the University of Mysore. In 1921, Radhakrishnan was nominated as Professor of Philosophy at the Calcutta University, 1921. In 1923, Dr. Radhakrishnan's book "Indian Philosophy" was published. The book was hailed as a "philosophical classic and a literary masterpiece."

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was called to Oxford University, to deliver lectures on Hindu philosophy. He used his lectures as a platform to further India's cause for freedom. He also argued that Western philosophers, despite all claims to objectivity, were biased by theological influences from their wider culture. He showed that Indian philosophy, once translated into standard academic jargon, is worthy of being called

Kannagi (Kannaki) a legendary Tamil woman is the central character of the South Indian epic Silapathikaram. Legend has it that Kannagi took revenge on the King of Madurai, for a mistaken death penalty imposed on her husband Kovalan, by cursing the city with disaster.

Kovalan, the son of a wealthy merchant in Kaveripattinam, married Kannagi, a young woman of legendary beauty. They lived together happily in the city of Kaveripattinam, until Kovalan met the dancer Madhavi and fell in love with her. In his infatuation he forgot Kannagi and gradually spent all his wealth on the dancer. At last, penniless, Kovalan realised his mistake, and returned back to Kannagi. Their only asset was a precious pair of anklets (Chilambu - hence the name of the epic), filled with gems, which she gave to him willingly. With these as their capital they went to the city of Madurai, where Kovalan hoped to recoup his fortunes by trade.

The city of Madurai was ruled by the Pandya King Nedunj Cheliyan - 1. Kovalan's objective was to sell the anklets in this kingdom so that he and his wife would be able to start their lives over. Unfortunately, around the time he set out to sell the anklets, one anklet (out of a pair) was stolen from the queen, by a greedy court member. This anklet looked very similar to Kannagi's. The only difference was that Kannagi's were filled with rubies and the queen's filled with pearls, but this was not a visible fact. When Kovalan went to the market, he was accused of having stolen the anklet. He was immediately beheaded by the King's guards, without trial. When Kannagi was informed of this, she became furious, and set out to prove her husband's innocence to the King.

Kannagi came to the King's court, broke open the anklet seized from Kovalan and showed that it contained rubies, as opposed to the queen's anklets

which contained pearls. Realizing their fault, the King and the Queen died of shame. Unsatisfied, Kannagi tore out a breast and flung it on the city, uttering a curse that the entire city be burnt. Due to her utmost chastity, her curse became a reality.

The city was set ablaze resulting in huge human and economic losses. However, after the request from the goddess of the city, she withdrew her curse and later, attained salvation. The story was narrated by the poet Ilango Adigal. A fascinating, but ironic, fact about this epic is that it portrays Madhavi, Kovalan's amorous lover, as an equally chaste woman. Manimekalai, another ancient Tamil epic, is written in praise of her.

After setting fire to Madurai City, Kannagi on her way to Kodungalloor in Kerala, gave "Darsan" to the natives at Attukal in Thiruvananthapuram. They constructed a Temple at Attukal. It is also believed that Devi finally reached Kodungalloor and settled at Kodungalloor Devi Temple south of Guruvayoor. The events related to Kannagi have high influence in the traditions and culture of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

Perceptions of Kannagi

Kannagi (Kannaki Amman) is eulogized as the epitome of chastity and is still worshipped as its goddess. She is praised for her extreme devotion to her husband in spite of his adulterous behaviour. She is worshiped as Goddess Pathini in Sri Lanka by the Sinhalese Buddhists, Kannaki Amman by the Sri lanka Tamils Hindus' and as Kodungallur Bhagavathy (Kodungallur Devi / Kodungallur Amma) and Attukal Bhagavathy (Attukal Devi / Attukal Amma) in South Indian state Kerala.

It must be noted that Kannagi is also viewed as a brave woman who could demand justice directly from the King and even dared to call him "Unenlightened King". The point here is that while she was behaving in a non-interfering manner with her domestic problems, she was no meek woman that would brook injustice in the rule of the law.

Story of Kannagi

Story IY


Once upon a time there lived a demon (Asura)

named Mahisha. He found great happiness in hurting

people. Once, he decided to pray to lord Brahma, who

he thought would give him a boon, which would make

him invincible.

Mahisha performed severe penances praying and

fasting for months as he stood on one foot. The three

worlds trembled under the strength of his penances

and a pleased lord Brahma came to give him a boon.

Mahisha asked for immortality, which the lord said he

could not have as every creature that was born had to

die. Mahisha decided that he would ask for a boon that

would make him as good as immortal. He asked that no

man should be able to kill and, if he had to die it should

be only at the hands of only a woman. He was sure that

no woman could ever fight against him however strong

she may be.

Now that Mahisha was invincible, he and the

other asuras went about hurting and killing everyone

on earth and then went on to the heavens to fight the

Gods. Even Indra's thunderbolt could not withstand the

asura attack. Mahisha drove out the Gods and took over

Indra's throne. Mahishasura started harassing all pious

people who continued praying to Vishnu or Shiva. The

Gods and people were depressed and decided to ask

lord Shiva for help. Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma

concentrated hard and used their radiant energies, which

were joined by the energies from Indra, and the other

Gods. This godly energy took the form of a divine lady

with thousand arms. In each arm she carried a weapon

Story IY

SREE DURGA - GODDESS OF POWER

belonging to all Gods. This was Durga Devi.

She mounted a fiery lion and roared. It was a roar that

shook mountains and created huge waves in the seas.

Even Mahisha was worried for a second, but his vanity

took over when he saw that the terrible form was that of

a woman. Durga created a large army from her breath

to fight Mahisha's army and then fought with Mahisha

who came in the form of a Buffalo. As he struggled

to set himself from the Buffalo form she killed him

with her sword delivering the earth and heavens of the

Burden called Mahishasura.

In Mysore (Karnataka) atop the Chamundi hills,

you can see a big statue of Mahishasura. Here there is a

temple dedicated to Durga also known as Mahishasura

mardini or Chamundi.
