Pranam
As usual from Q10 to end , tend to end the cult of hinduism, who spoke
about our culture yesterday against women, having not attended any school
of cult in his curriculum, I presume. My school Ramakrishna had a prayer
everyday on the first floor, a small lecture from the Pontiff, then
starting the day. Even today we have such schools. Parents failed to
continue the school because of the western orientations and followed by the
defence. So one wrong example cannot make an universal conclusion as
remarks passed off coolly. Who said we do not have a book. We have a choice
of books and all state similar things. Vedas are our book but did we
attempt to study it or teach them to posterity?. Humbleness is only when
overflowing but not when dry, which many so easily pass off as the learned.
Bible or Quoron or Avast or any such book , do not preach peace or
sarve jana sukino bhavanthi except the Vedic cult. Having failed to learn
what we hold, hiding all of them nowhere, we cannot hail others, and the
concept of others ,as a cult, and criticise the cult out of ignorance.
Because we cannot see our back, but can see the rest, does not mean that we
do not have anything at the bACK!!. kARKAK KASADARA KARKA ,KATRAPIN NIRKKA
ATHARKKUTH THAGA. Learn well and stand and deliver only thereafter. KR IRS
141121 { there is a janma heer who calls Tiruvalluvar as the son of sudra
to denigrate, who recites everyday sandhyavandanam and practice vedic
purohitam, which were ordained as by Veda Vyasa who was only the son of a
sudra women. {Parasara satyavati}. Such people cannot know the depth of the
vedas translated into Tamil as they have never grown beyond 9 years even
after 90 years. And all these do happen only because a few keep writing in
general what is respect and disrespect, without forcing the respect as a
society. We suffer because we are as we are. However hard Mr Sekar vyes.
Amit saha says the mother tongue is amust but Hindi is uniting as a nation;
a Gujarati speaking about hindi; but a Tamil may not see eye to eye since
his family will not get to rule who already lost a decade without money.
We have to come back since 1919, more than 100 years since to catch up.
Out of regrets. KR IRS 141121
