Should women be given freedom?

Freedom cannot be achieved unless the women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression. - Nelson Mandela


The scriptures (Manu-samhita)say
'Women should not be given freedom,that does not mean they should be treated as slaves'.

They should be treated as children.Children are not given freedom,that does not mean they are treated as slaves.They are to be protected by the father in the young age,by the husband in the youth stage and by the children in the old age.

Absence of freedom does not mean bonded labour.
Women empowerment through financial independence and protection of women should be a top priority.In today's world they have rejected the scriptures and think that women should be given as much freedom as men.The moral condition of women has neither improved or has the world become any better.



Should women be given reservation?

Yes women should be given  reservation in places where women empowerment is a direction.Places like skill development.Places where representation of women is less that the necessary levels, women, should be empowered ,to make better decisions.

India should have hit back post 26/11



               A leader is one who knows the way,goes the way and shows the way.



India is a strong  and powerful nation.India's strength comes from within  not from outside or its military strength.Its essence is based on spiritual lines.Love and compassion  form the root of this nation.Tolerance has been  India's mantra for ages.

India is a peace loving country.but does peace mean one doesn't protect  its people.India should have hit back at Pakistan post 26/11 when the Taj was brunt down by Pak sponsored terrorists .Peace cannot be established when the people of the country are attacked brutally.By not acting decisively India got reflected as a weak nation.Had India hit back it would have been more peaceful.

India lost out on an opportunity to hit back,and establish itself as a strong nation.The supreme court of Pakistan also released the mastermind of 26/11,  Hafiz Sayeed, without any punishment.And the United States kept looking .US follows a policy of double standards.Where do the US backed ,Pakistan based militants get all their weapons from? Who sponsors it?

Is violence justified?Yes it is, to protect  people of the nation from evil forces.

Would you not smash a person who attacks your child?
Does a Guru not break the bones of a person who even touches his disciple?
Does a leader not protect his followers?

If one does not act against such incidents it would repeat itself again.

A  leader takes people where they want to go,a great leader takes people where they don't want to go but ought to be.

Garbage Collection


Cleanliness is next to godliness.


Everybody dreams of a clean India but nobody  is ready to get its act together neither the people nor the government.
We have overflowing dustbins,stinky toilets and unclean surroundings.Don't we want to have a clean environment,a clean environment makes everyone happy and energetic whereas an unclean surrounding makes everyone feel sick and unhappy.
India has a rich heritage and culture but our cleanliness levels have a lot to be desired when compared to other countries like Japan and USA.where people clean up their surroundings without any prejudice.

The current PM seems to have got his priorities right and making the right noises on cleanliness but the actions seems to have a lot to be desired.Garbage collection should  be made a separate ministry and employ skilled labour.The government seems to be having a lacklustre approach therefore the idea of outsouring it to private entities seems to be in the right direction.

Nearer home litter is scattered around the dustbin and the dustbin is empty as if it is an idol of Lord Ganesha,as people dont make the effort to throw it inside the bins.There should be sign boards asking people to thow litter inside the dustbins otherwise a fine should be levied.

Let us all pledge to make India a happy ,prosperous and clean nation.

My favourite song


            


രാധാതന്‍   പ്രേമത്തോടാണോ   കൃഷ്ണ
ഞാന്‍ പാടും ഗീതത്തോടാണോ (2)

പറയു നിനകെടം ഇഷ്ടം പക്ഷെ
പകല്‍ പോലെ ഉത്തരം സ്പഷ്ടം

(രാധ തന്‍)

ശങ്ഘു മില്ല കുഴലുമില്ല
നെഞ്ചിന്റെ ഉള്ളില്‍ നിന്നേ വന്ന സംഗീതം
നിന്‍  കളിക്കല്‍  വീണലിയുന്നു (2)

വൃന്ദാവന  നികുഞ്ഞങ്ങളില്ലാതെ  നീ
ചന്ദനം പോല്‍  മരിലനിയുന്നു  (2)

നിന്റെ മണ്ടസ്മിട്ഗത്ല്‍ ഞാന്‍ കളിരുന്നു
അറിയരുതേ രാധ ആര്യരുതെ
ഇത് ഗുരുവായൂരപ്പാ രഹസ്യം
(രാധ തന്‍)
കൊട്ടുമില്ല കുടവുമില്ല
നെഞ്ചില്‍ തുടിക്കം ഇടക്കയിലെന്‍ സംഗീതം
പഞ്ചാഗ്നി പോല്‍ ജ്വലിക്കുന്നു (2)

സുന്ദര മേഘ ചര്തെല്ല മഴിഉച്ചു നീ
നിന്‍ തിരു മേയ് ചേര്‍ത്ത് പുല്‍കുന്നു (2)

നിന്റെ മധുരത്തില്‍ ഞാന്‍  വീനുറങ്ങുന്നു
അറിയരുതേ രാധ അറിയരുതേ
ഇത് ഗുരുവായൂരപ്പാ രഹസ്യം

Translation in English

Is it radha’s love Krishna
or the song that I sing,
Tell me what you like the most,
But your answer seems to be as clear as daylight
