Annadato Sukhibhava



Since the period of vedas food has been given importance in Indian diet. Called as "anna" food has been referred as "Anna Brahma" "Anna Poorna" since ancient times.

Cutting short to the present scenario India is recognized overseas as the country with abundant talent & a country with huge potential. Silently we are also on way to form 20% of the total world population being Indian. A promising country with growing population is seriously nobody's concern when they can self-sustain to form a force to recon with.

Fiction ends here! Reality check - Out of 132 Crore Indians roughly 20 crore of them do not have their food/meals daily. In more simple words, out of every 100 people - 15 of them do not get food daily. Who are these people? Why are they getting not food?  Doesn't it surprise us that, for some people having full meal itself maybe their definition of happiness!!

I am not writing this to discuss and find a solution for these people. 

But I will not stop without saying this - please take out a time from your week/month, cook food at your place and put it in multiple boxes (which we all have, thanks to swiggy) or pack food in multiple boxes from your favorite restaurant eatery and head out. In a city like Bangalore I am sure you will side many homeless men, women, children on streets -  give food these needy people - THEY DESERVE IT. While receiving from you, notice the smile on their face - it will be so pure. If you have children at your home - taken them along. I am sure the person who received food from you will bless you after eating "annadato sukibhava". It means "Let the one who provided me food be happy"

Be blessed!!

Ganesha Chaurthi and Seeing Moon - A myth or reality?

Image
Many of us, during our childhood, were told the Hindu Mythological story about Lord Ganesha and Moon, we were also told not to see the moon during Ganesha Chaturthi. It is said that whosoever sees moon on Shukla Chaturthi i.e Ganesh Chaturthi will be falsely accused/blamed. Keeping aside this Mythological Story about Lord Ganesha falling off and Chandra Dev (Moon) laughing at him, let us see what is this all about scientifically.  Before understanding this, one should know that all beings including humans have positive energy and negative  energy within them. The one who nurtures a particular energy of his/her's - will lead their  life accordingly in the respective path. Based on this you can say that positive or negativity happenings in one's life is the effect of their own self. It is natural that all human beings are derived from nothing but darkness, we keep on adding to this by food (grown on earth - mud), surroundings, thoughts, influences, and upbringing.

Preetiya Parivala

When Shashi had come to Blore months 6 back from Mudalagi, he told me abt a new song which has become a big hit in our belgaum district. I told him it may be some shabber dange song or may be another double meaning drama by raju talikoti. He said "no, this is a descent one. You will like it". To keep his mood I said "ok, let me listen". Then he played it on his mobile. In the first two lines I could not resist laughing loudly "what a devdas song?" For which he said " ಮುತ್ತ್ಯಾ ಪೂರ್ತಿ ಕೇಳು ಆಮೇಲೆ ನಗು". {He calls me Muttya, i will tell this story sometime later}. And believe me as he said when I went on listening I started liking it. The lyrics was something which was sung in our north kannada style. Later I asked him to send that song to me. now it is in my mobile too. After few months, one day I felt like sharing it on net with my friends from UK (Uttar Karnataka). So I just typed "Preetiya pariwala", to my surprise I found a video of

Shankar Nag - Memories Recalled

Image
Shankar Nag - noted Kannada film director, actor was born on Nov 9 - 1954 in Mallapur Village near Kumta, Uttara Kannada (present karwar) district in karnataka, India. His elder Brother is Ananth Nag - a noted kannada film actor. Being born in a orthodox Brahmin family - these two brothers were not the ones who tread an orthodox path. However they were good in their studies. Shankar Nag shifted to Mumbai along with his elder brother Ananth Nag after completing his education. Ananth Nag got him a job in the same bank where he was working. Similarly both of them had keen interest in Theatre and Plays. Having seen the plays and yakshaganas in their native palce since childhood- it is no surprise they somewhere had a desire in them to do it in a diffrent way!! Both of them started acting career in Marathi and Hindi plays after their office hours. Whenever we start to talk about Shankar Nag - the discussion will be half complete without mentioning his elder brother Ananth Nag. It i
