ON Lord Krishna-Krishna Vs Periyar E. V. Ramasamy,Fantasy Vs Rationality


Following quote made by periyar ,made me think,"Aryans made the Dravidians to celebrate the Deepavali festival, Rama’s birthday, Krishna’s birthday. Similarly the Northerners made the Dravidians celebrate August 15th as the Independence Day. That is all. There is no other benefit or laudable reason".This made me curious to know about lord Krishna.The principal scriptures discussing Krishna's story are the Mahābhārata, the Harivamsa, the Bhagavata Purana and the Vishnu Purana.The Krishna-bhakti Movement spread to southern India by the 9th century AD, while in northern India Krishnaism schools were well established by 11th century AD. From the 10th century AD, with the growing Bhakti movement, Krishna became a favorite subject in performing arts and regional traditions.Traditional belief based on scriptural details and astrological calculations gives the date of Krishna's birth, known as Janmashtami as either 18 or 21 July 3228 BC.According to Srimad Bhagavatam, Krishna married with 16,108 wives of which eight were chief—including Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati Krishna subsequently married 16,100 maidens who were being held in captivity by demon Narakasura, to save their honor. Krishna killed the demon and released them all.All these information makes me understand that hero of a literature(religious) work is been made God or may be i am wrong.Anyways,any fanatic support or opposition not based on rationalism or science or experience will one day or other, reveal the fraud, selfishness, lies and conspiracies.

#home Malayalam movie review

Image
I got into this after tough day in my work and selected this as somewhere I saw some raving review in my facebook feed somewhere in my mobile. Irony that movie which downplays the mobile device got attention by mobile. It's very hard and unfair to write review on culture and language that am not into it. But first time ever I went really went tight on capturing images and reading sub titles due to the natural visual, realistic characters. when the movie started telling about a director and writers block, i thought it's going to be too artistic and would loose empathy as like the movies 71/2(french), marupadiyum, bommalatam, VTV. I don't like movies about movies, I was sleepy until the part came in about the guy who ran a video cassette shop who gone out of competition now. And also I thought this movie cannot be tagged as just a feel good family drama but has more hearty flavour to it. My take on a movie always would be story distorted and pick my favourite elem

Image
This is ON JK who lived during -Jiddu Krishnamurti- May 12, 1895 – February 17, 1986 ).He is many's spiritual guru and had not sharing about him to anyone as there are certain beauties which we cant share and also philosophy is a dry subject,where people wont like it. He cannot be labelled as the guru, anybody don't have any particular person who is their guru all life. Life is our guru,not particular person.But to push yourself to life and make the starting ceremony with first lesson in a big book of life you need a guru. A guru is only a starting point. The guru cant find you as you have to. To dig on life we should not willing to be satisfied with superficial,comfortable,painful life which we may be hiding at. Many will get inside the learning zone only when wanting to penetrate life more then what it is ,and become desperate to know on why pain and how to overcome it.First time in life we will be bothered to dig life,strain  and win it INTELLECTUALLY.

ON Tamil Writer Balakumaran - The man who knew too much on spirituality

Image
  This write-up on writer Balakumar, veteran of tamil fiction credited to have 200 plus book titles. Balakumaran writing got into me when i watched the Tamil movie Gentleman(1993) as a kid. Even though dialogue is small part of movie, managed to take away his name in the movie titles which we hardly care to see. Then i managed to see some of his works in movie and always been great fan like for a hero in the movie. Later i used to see his name was always there in tamil novel section in book shops which i often used to visit. I turned pages there and got into his novel writing a bit. One of my non conformist friend suggested couple of his novels which i tried and started liking his flavor of writing. He shines like a hero in a movie after reading through it. Amazing technique of domain exploration, philosophical musings on life and people, adulation of feminine side. The novel like "Irumbu kudhiraigal" flashes a bit of movie "Polladavan" and drives into a subject,
