Below is rough translation on an article from one Nainmal Surana published in
Dakshin Samachar on March 31, 2010.

In Tamil Nadu, near Salem area on the road from Salem to Coimbatore there are many
saboodana factories. We start getting terribly bad smell when we are about 2 kms away
from the factories.

Saboodana is made from roots of Sabo tree which looks like sweet potato. Kerala has this root available in plenty, each root weighs about 6kgs. Factory owners buy these roots in bulk during season, put them in
pits dug and prepared specially measuring approx 40ft x 25ft. in open ground and the roots are allowed to rot for several months. Thousands of tons of roots rot in pits. There are huge electric bulbs throughout the night where millions of insects fall in the pits.

While pulp is rotting, water is added everyday due to which 2 long white colour insect is
automatically born . The walls of pits are covered by millions of insects ( eels ) factory these are then crushed in the factory.

The pulp is thus ready from roots and millions of pests and insects crushed and
pasted together. This paste is then passed through round mesh and made into small balls
and then polished. This is saboodana.



Many people dont eat Saboodana , as it is non-vegetarian and may be harmful too.

But when you are in a 'lack' consciousness, I tell you, that seed that you have sown will increase the lack and reduce abundance. Abundance first starts as a seed within you, so feel abundant. When the seed of abundance is within you, magic happens!

Hindu Terrorism!! A perspective from a westerner's eye....

Hindu Terrorism!! A perspective from a westerner's eye.... Hindu Terrorism? A perspective from a westerner's eye.... By Francois Gautier Is there such a thing as 'Hindu terrorism', as the arrest of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur for the Malegaon blasts may tend to prove? Well, I guess I was asked to write this column because I am one of that rare breed of foreign correspondents รข€” a lover of Hindus! A born Frenchman, Catholic-educated and non-Hindu, I do hope I'll be given some credit for my opinions, which are not the product of my parents' ideas, my education or my atavism, but garnered from 25 years of reporting in South Asia (for Le Journal de Geneve and Le Figaro). In the early 1980s, when I started freelancing in south India, doing photo features on Kalaripayattu, the Ayyappa festival, or the Ayyanars, I slowly realised that the genius of this country lies in its Hindu ethos, in the true spirituality behind Hinduism. The average Hindu you meet in a million...
