Happy Akshaya Triteeya !

Today is a glorious day, the Day of the Third Lunation, in the Bright Fortnight, in the lunar month of Vaishaka, known as Akshaya Thritheeya.

Akshaya Thritheeya = Vaishakha Sukhla Thritheeya.

A T is celebrated with feasts and fasts. People generally take a dip in the Ganges. Charity is performed by donating rice, umbrellas, butter and money to the needy. Akshaya means inexhaustible and any Punya or divine merit done on this day will come back thousandfold.

So let us donate, let us be givers, so that the Punya done comes back a thousandfold times to us and may that Punya pave the way for Self Actualisation.

Thou, Eternal Witness !



Bridal Mysticism needs no proof
As if Ultimate Verity needs proof!
Without Consciousness I cannot exist
Without Self, how can I exist ?

It is Thou who inspirest
Who is the illuminator
The inner Director
Without thy directions
I would have gone astray !
But in Thy mercy
Thou hast ordained well !
Seeing that I move not
To the wrong path !
Thou, who art the Eternal Witness
Everlasting, eternal,
Emotionless, lord of all,
Existing as Pure Witness
With and without Maya
The eternal Triad being
Thy holographic projections !

Chatayam Njattuvela !




In Kerala, the hot season has begun. The sidereal month of Aquarius or Kumbha started on 13th Feb and Kerala is about to reel under a heat wave. Last year the death from sunstrokes was > 100 !

On 19th, Chathayam or Sathabhisha Njattuvela started and so we are ready for a hot phase. Kumbha Choodu and Meena Choodu are famous, as the earth becomes scorched due to lack of rains.

Some summer rains can come, but they cannot sustain ! Till Edava Pathi or the Half of Taurus, we cannot expect major rains ! So a very hot season indicated till Vrishabha or Taurus !

Kerala Tourism to net more than 24 K cr this year !



This year, Kerala Tourism, will net in more than 24000 crores. Responsible Tourism, the Government calls it.

Much investment is needed in infrastructure, if India is to make it up to the level of advanced countries. As such, the 6.4% growth of Indian Tourism and the 8% growth of Kerala Tourism seems to be average.


Paper tigers !



The adverse positions of Jupiter and Saturn have done India in. Now it will take time for Indian cricket to redeem itself !

Tigers at home and kittens abroad 

Indian under a torrid phase !

With Jupiter in the 12th and Saturn in the 4th, India is going through a horrific phase.

The elections round the corner is not good, either. After spending crores of rupees, we may get a hung Parliament, as the electorate may give a fractured verdict !

Now Poll stats state that

Non UPA and non NDA parties will get 42%
NDA will get 36%
UPA will get 22%

Decline in votes does not mean that UPA is out. They can form a Government with the non NDA forces !

The Modi wave may happen. In India, the best liked doctrine is Hinduism. Then only comes Marxism and Secularism. So with Hinduism booming, Modi may very well ascend the throne !

Jupiter's effect will be felt from Apr 19th onwards, as He gives His effects two months before, dwimasau gurau ! So for Modi, after 19th Apr, Jove may well behave like Jupiter in the 9th, which is benevolent !
