You Can hear the Short life story of Sri Adhi Sankarar told by our Editor Sri. S.V.Ramani.
In India, Religion is yet another force which binds men together. Belief in God is not a blind faith but an active and reasoned philosophy of life. Hindu religion is not a set of dogmas but a series of practical moral values to be realised in life. भारत में धर्म एक और शक्ति है जो मनुष्य को एक साथ बांधे . ईश्वर में विश्वास नहीं है लेकिन एक सक्रिय और अंध विश्वास के शाह के जीवन दर्शन है . हिंदू धर्म का एक सेट dogmas नहीं है बल्कि कई तरह के नैतिक मूल्यों को व्यावहारिक जीवन में महसूस किया जा

The 19-vote victory came after the managers of the Manmohan Singh government had outmaneuvered and outgunned the opposition in what has been one of the murkiest contests in parliamentary history — a contest in which charges of bribery and misuse of CBI drowned all other substantive issues on debate.
Charges of horse-trading were rampant on Monday, the day before, and the days before that. But on Tuesday, it came out in the open in Parliament as a shocked country watched on television three BJP members rush into the Lok Sabha well waving wads of currency notes that were allegedly given to them by SP leader Amar Singh’s men to abstain from the trust vote. They claimed to have video graphic evidence of the whole bribery operation.
Leader’s opinion about the Trust Vote.
Leader of Opposition L K Advani claimed the “moral” plank in the Manmohan Singh government’s trust vote on Tuesday 22-7-2008 when he said that the UPA had won a ‘numerical” victory but had lost out in terms of credibility in the eyes of the nation.
The BJP leader admitted that there had been cross-voting and said “UPA might have won the trust vote, but its victory was corrupt and manipulated. The government scored a numerical win but lost on moral grounds.” He pointed out that the episode needed a detailed investigation and hoped that Speaker Somnath Chatterjee would take appropriate action.
The BJP, which had been subject of a determined poaching attack by the ruling coalition, was able to substantially turn the tables on the government through the cash-for-votes episode. On the back foot, the BJP was able to grab centre stage by claiming that the money its MPs “deposited” in the House, was proof of allegations of horse trading.
The alleged bribes saw the BJP taking the aggressive path and directing its attack on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The timing of the episode couldn’t have been better for the BJP as the text of the PM’s speech—which he did not deliver—showed. The PM had aimed his ammunition at Advani and the BJP. The tactic was similar as when he targeted the Opposition during his Budget intervention.
But if the attempt was to push the BJP under withering fire, the bribe allegations saw BJP saw take the high road. “An immediate investigation is needed. Also, the Speaker, who has placed so many premiums on transparency, should make the tapes available to media. Since the bribery attempt has taken place outside the House, their was no bar on MPs being probed,” Advani added.
PRAKASH KARAT (CPM)
They didn’t approach CPM MPs because they knew they can’t bribe them. This is certainly the most shameful day in the history of Parliament
RAJNATH SINGH (BJP)
For the last three-four days attempts were being made to purchase MPs. This is the most shameful and saddest day of Parliament. This has also hurt the prestige of Indian Parliament
The Congress had no right to point fingers at BJP telling that it is a communal Party, as it had already voted with the BJP to bring down the V.P. Singh government in 1990 and later to remove the governments of H.D. Deve Gowda in 1997 and I.K. Gujral in 1998.
Now it is the duty of all parties to bring down the Congress government in the nuclear deal with US, which is not favourable for our Indian Country and people.
BJP leader L K Advani on Thursday 10-7-2008 charged Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh with “deceiving the nation” on the Indo-US nuclear deal and, marking out NDA’s role as the principal opposition, said the government had chosen to approach the IAEA in a surreptitious manner.
After a meeting of the NDA, Advani mounted a powerful attack on the government for its “decision to go to IAEA” within a day of having committed itself to do so only after a confidence vote in Parliament. The leader of the Opposition accused the PM of sharing the draft with “the rest of the world before doing so with the people of India”.
NDA’s attack was sharp, perhaps all the more so with Left having moved completely into the opposition space. Hitting at the government for its haste, after the Left pullout, in trying to seal the Indo-US agreement, Advani said the government had lost all credibility and its word could not be believed. “A minority government has bartered away national interest through the back-door,” he said.
Pointing out that external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee had, barely 48 hours ago, categorically declared that the government would approach IAEA only after a trust vote and that the assurance followed consultations with the Prime Minister, Advani said the draft had been circulated even before the PM returned from the G8 summit.
The government had approached IAEA and circulated the draft among 25 IAEA board members. Such was the PM’s keenness to move ahead with the deal that he had spoken of approaching IAEA “very soon” even as Mukherjee invited the Left for a final meeting on the pact.
Expressing his apprehension that the deal was deeply flawed, Advani asked, “What is the government trying to hide?” He said NDA suspects there is a “conspiracy afoot to present the nation with a fait accompli on the deal by rushing through it behind closed doors”.
Advani said. “No government, least of all a minority government, can be permitted to make commitments on an issue as fundamental to the country’s long-term interests and national security.
[Short Story of the Agreement]
[The safeguards agreement between India and the International Atomic Energy Agency was released to the public on Thursday 10-7-2008. The text acknowledges the unique nuclear category India will occupy if the Indo-US nuclear deal is completed - that of a recognised nuclear power who has not signed the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.
An additional clause addresses the Department of Atomic Energy fears that international inspectors may steal ideas from its precious three-step thorium cycle. Thus, the inspectors must take "every precaution to protect commercial and industrial secrets" and keep their paws off technology and components indigenously developed by India.
In India, the opposition has argued the text falls short on supply guarantees. This forgets the IAEA does not provide nuclear fuel, it only allows countries to do so.
Sources say the IAEA's board of governors will convene in Vienna between July 28-30 to debate and vote on the agreement. The safeguards are the least political and most technical of the four negotiated texts that the nuclear deal has generated so far.
If a majority of the board fails to approve the agreement, the Nuclear Suppliers Group cannot even consider asking its members to join the US in waiving the nuclear sanctions that India faces. Indian officials are relatively optimistic about the chances of approval by the IAEA. It requires only a majority vote by the board.]
Painting the Congress-led government as untrustworthy, with just months to go for a slew of assembly polls followed by Lok Sabha elections, Advani remarked, “If its senior-most minister’s solemn declaration about seeking a trust vote can be so summarily overturned, how can Prime Minister be trusted with anything? It is capable of going back on assurances even before the ink is dry.”
Let us wait and see.

Did Vivekananda control his monkey mind?He wrote to Ms. Christina Greenstidel on 2nd Sept. 1901:"How I wish you were here to taste our shads — one of the most delicate fish in the world. It is raining outside — pouring. But the moment this downpour ceases, I rain through every pore — it is so hot yet. My whole body is covered by big patches of prickly heat. Thank goodness there are no ladies about! If I had to cover myself in this state of things, I surely would go crazy.I have also my theme, but I am not despondent. I am sure very soon to pan it out into a beautiful ecstasy [excision]. I am half crazy by nature; then my overtaxed nerves make me outrageous now and then.
As a result I don't find anybody who would patiently bear with me! I am trying my best to make myself gentle as a lamb. I hope I shall succeed in some birth. You are so gentle. Sometimes I did frighten you very much, did I not, Christina? I wish I were as gentle as you are. Mother knows which is best. ..."Here is a Swamiji who ate turtles and invited foreign women to taste them. He wrote to Ms. Christina on 12th Dec. 1901: Quote:"This is our best season for eating turtles, but they are all black. The green [ones] can only be found in America. Alas! I am prevented from the taste of meat. ... "

In Indian epic Mahabharata, the King Dhuryodhana was unable to find a Good man from his court. But for the King Dharmaputhra, he is seeing all the people surrounded by him are good and he was unable to point out a bad man.
Like that all have to remove their Black glasses from their eye and see the world. Then they can see everything clear. This is for everybody who are seeing the world at their own choice.
Sri Vivekananda from his young age itself becomes a Saint. Vivekananda was not interested in worldly pleasures. We need not find fault with a father asking his daughter’s photos. There is always a difference with father’s touch of his daughter and touch of other people. Without taking any food the Sacred people will be on fast for several months. But we cannot spare our lunch even for a single day.Don’t spread malicious campaigns against good people like Jesus, Allah, Gandhi, Buddha and Vivekananda and others. They have scarified their life for spreading good ethics throughout the world. The malevolent propaganda is like throwing mud at a well dressed man."Control your monkey mind" This proverb is for all people to lead a Happy Life. This is a sound advice to people who overact to issues that they may face.The story of .Mahabaratha was told by our fore fathers to get ride of our problems and it is not to provoke against anybody..
If any further clarificationis required about Guruji Vivekananda Sri Ramakrishna Mutt may be contacted.

Rameswaram Ramanathaswamy Temple.
On Sunday1-6-2008, Karunanidhi issued an appeal through a poem to agitators of Sethu samudram project, urging them to allow the scheme in the interest of Tamil Nadu.
In the interest of free flow of traffic in Marina Beach, the previous A.I.A.D.M.K. Government removed the Kannagi Statue which was erected in the mid-way of the Marina approach road. Even the then Tamil Nadu Government assured that the removed Statue will be erected in a proper place.Karunanidhi was unable to tolerate this action and created several agitations through his party. After coming to power he immediately reinstalled the Kannagi statue in the same place itself. When such was the situation, how Karunanidhi making his appeal to the several millions of Hindu community, to forget the Ram-sethu issue which is mingled in their heart.
There are several people in Tamil Nadu who have worked for the uplift of the Indian Nation and Tamil language. Makavi Subramania Barathiar, Thiru Vi.Ka. U.Ve. saminatha Iyer, Muthuramalinga Thevar and several other eminent Tamil scholars never interfered in the belief of any religion.
Now in the interest of several millions of Hindu community people, if Karunanidhi make arrangements to shift the dredging work without disturbing the Ram-Sethu Bridge, he will be certainly appreciated even by millions of Lord Ram followers. No Hindu is standing as hindrance to the Rs. 2,427 crore project and all of their humble appeal to Karunanidhi is that the Ram-Sethu should not be destroyed and the canal way may be shifted to some other place. Ram-Sethu is a monument and a worshipful place of Hindu Community like Muslims “Kabaa” and Christians Jerusalem.
Moreover in his application, the Janata Party leader alleged that Baalu’s family controlled firm — Meenam Fisheries Ltd — having fishing and shipping interest in the Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar area, would “benefit tremendously from the implementation of the project.” He said this was the reason why the shipping minister was probably pushing for early commencement of the project, which had been stalled on the interim orders of the apex court.”
On sentiment reasons, Karunanidhi always wear a Yellow towel on his shoulder for a very long period. He was unable to leave the yellow towel and telling to others that Buddha was also having the yellow Towel. When such was his strong sentiment in wearing the ordinary yellow Towel, How the millions of Hindu community people will erase the faith in the Ram-Sethu Bridge?
All Hindu community people with folded hands request Karnanidhi not to destroy the ancient monument of Ram-Sethu with atheist mind or for some other reasons like families benefit.
Our ambition is, in his present age of 85years, Karunanidhi must stand as a symbol of well wisher to all the community and get a memorable name.
One public with folded hands telling to M.Karunanidhi Leader of D.M.K.Party as under:-
Oh..! Leader. The Babar...Who born at Kabul destroyed our Hindu Ram Temple at Ayodhya and constructed Babar Masjid as his War remembrance.
We have submitted our Bharatiya Janatha Party Friends web URL to our Beloved Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. On behalf of the Chief Minister his OSD acknowledged our Message.
