[ This article explains why we say Govinda thrice each time (“Govinda, Govinda, Govinda”) when we climb the Tirumalai hills although that Lord is Srinivasa or Venkatesa and it seems that the name Govinda appears to have no connection with the names of the Lord of the Tirumalai Hills. This articles starts with details of the five forms of our Lord’s manifestation, then refers to why archai is suitable for us, then goes on to refer to 3 Govindans, and how they relate to Tirumalai and concludes with quotes from NammazhvAr and AndAL. Words in Italics are what occurred to this translator- AdiyEn on reading this article and may be ignored; errors are adiyEn’s responsibility and kshamikkaprArthikkirEn ] . Our Sastras say that our Lord Sriman Narayanan manifests Himself in five forms: param, vyUham, vibhavam, antharyAmi and archai. Let us see in some detail about each of these forms: 1. Param: In this, our Lord sits in the form of Paramapada nAdhan or Sri Para VAsudevan in paramapadam or Sri...

VEDHA MANTHRAM RECITED n PANYAHAVACHANAM Pavamana Suktham Translated by  P. R. Ramachander This hymn is for purification. Soma, the sacred intoxicator is the lord of delight. Pavamana is another name for Soma. Pavamana also means that which flows and that which purifies. This  stotra  can be found in the Thaithreeya Samhitha and Thaithreeya Brahmana [1] . Hiranya varnaa suchaya paavakaa, Yasu jatha kasyapo yaswindrah Agnim ya garbham dadhire virupaa, Tha na aapaa sam syona bhavanthu. In this golden, pure and purifying, Waters were born Kashyapa and also Indra, The fire God of various forms was also made by these waters, And let these waters be full of bliss and make us happy. Yaasaam raja varuno yathi madhye, Sathyanruthe ava pasyaan janaanaam, Madhuschutha suchayo ya pavaka, Taa na aapa syona bhavanthu. The king Varuna is in their middle, Examining men for truth and falsehood, These waters are honeyed, pure and purifying, And let these waters be full of bl...

Let me be condemned to be born over and over again, even in the form of a dog, if so I can be of help to a single soul – Sri Ramakrishna I will give up twenty thousand such bodies to help one man. It is glorious to help even one man– Sri. Ramakrishna. After so much austerity, I’ve understood this as real truth, God is present in every jiva. There is no other God besides that, "WHO SERVES JIVA SERVES GOD INDEED" – Swami Vivekananda. Liberation is only for him who gives up everything for others, whereas others who tax their brains day and night harping on "my salvation" - "my salvation" wonder about with their true well being ruined, both present ant prospective – Swami Vivekananda. The mind uncontrolled and unguided will drag us down, down forever, - rend us, kill us; and the mind controlled and guided will save us, free us – Swami Vivekananda. "Each soul is potentially divine, the goal is to manifest this divinity within, by cont...

MANTRAMS 1. Mantram is tightly connected to Aagamaas and Tantram . The root for Mantra is “mann” or to think . Therefore Mantram is a Bhakti-driven thought based utterance . When recited , it produces spiritual benefits and brings one close to the UpAsanaa Moorthy and ultimately lead to Moksham 2. There are Vaidhika MantrAs and Loukika Mantras for gaining some worldly benefits ( wealth , Freedom from disease etc). Vaidhika Mantraas like Gaayatri and AstAkshari are for spirtual upliftment and deliverance ultimately from the cycles of SamsAra. MantrAs have to be received thru an AchAryan . 3. MantrAs consist of aksharaas ( letters) arranged in a particular sequence with a Chandas ( poetic meter) , Rishi , Deavataa and other unique features. Atarva Veda is considered the source of all MantrAs . There are additional Mantra Texts which describes the details on drawing the YantrAs ( diagramatic representations of the Mantra for external worship) . Kerala has deep involvement in Man...

The Hindu Rate Of Wrath By Francois Gautierr 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—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 villages possesses this simple, innate spirituality and accepts your diversity, whether you are Christ...

The pic, which we found on i.imgur.com, says: Indians have the largest amount of black money in Swiss Banks. Rudolf Elmer provides the list of famous Indians to Wikileaks. He also revealed that black money was started depositing in Swiss Banks in early 70s by some of the names of India through illegal mining, stock market, drug dealing, fake projects etc. According to the pic: Though  Wikileaks  has finally released few names, but it has threatened that if Indian government doesn’t start taking action, they would reveal all the names of big and powerful  politicians .
