Diwali or Deepawali -Festival of Lights

It looks like I am making a habit of commenting on every festival in India....well I Like them....now I am enjoying the festival at home.

But, lot of my people are working at office...That gives me little pain...I hope one day Indian IT service industry can take leaves for Indian festivals.

Well Diwali...every one likes....It is colorful, eating sweets, meeting friends and families. According to Hindu mythology some demon has to be killed....well Lord Krishna /Satyabhama (His 8th Wife) killed demon Narakasura.... on this day.
It is also start of new year for business men in India...where they open new financial books. Peo0le perform Goddess Lakshmi Pooja ( Money Goddess ) to invite her to their homes or business for good wealth.

Well All Stock exchanges in the world must perform this Pooja .....to invite Goddess Lakshmi to bless for the bull run.

Dussehra -a Festival of Good Victory over Evil

Well In India there are lot of festivals....however each festival is set by ancestors as booster in life and convey some important messages.

Dussehra means -Das- Hara.. a celebration of killing of 1o Headed Ravana by Lord Rama. Mother Durga fought for 9 days and killed the demon on 10th day.
Actually the 10 Headed Ravana represents the 10 Evil feelings in a human being like Anger(Krodha) , Jealousy (Asuya), Possessive (Moha), Lust (Kama), etc etc ..... so it is like purifying your self from all these.

Also Indian traditions set precedence for worshiping woman as Goddess...of course you see this also in Christianity worshiping Mother Mary. It is evident that who respects a woman would cherish prosperity in life.

Most of the festivals in India set for family reunions, so that the bonding is further strengthened.
Fasting during festivals also kicks off special enzymes for healthy body.

So our predecessors were so intelligent and great trend setters....who thought to bring good things to life.

This is the day where Good wins overs Evil....Happy DUSSEHRA....

Guru Pournima -5th September

Guru Parampara is very ancient tradition in India, Guru (the Teacher) is adored as equal to god and more than parents.

My first Guru is Sri Sarikonda Kotam Raju Garu, who taught me the ABCD s .
My Second guru is my own Father, who gave the direction to become engineer and I used to fix small radios at that time. This inspired me to take Electronics in my engineering.

Third Guru is Surendra Mohan who was my senior in CMC, who Taught me how to Fix computers.

My final Professional guru is SK Raja, who graduated me in Management and leadership skills.

So keeping the tradition...i just convey my sincere regards to all these gurus....

Happy Lord Krishna Birth Day

Today is Lord Krishna's Birth Day , Krishna's preachings are well known in Hindu Religion as Bhagawadgeetha.... which has 18 Chapters. This was taught to King Arjuna in Kurukshetra War, where the Pandava Kings defeated the Kauravas. Well mythology is always interesting to know, but one thing wonders me ....this war occurred probably 1000 Years ago , but they had all missile technology. King Arjuna was famous in these missiles or arrows....which used to be called as Naga (snake), Agni (fire), Vayu (air) etc etc...which used to be primarily surface to air and Surface to surface missiles.

Well Mahabharata gives us mixed learning, Sibling rivaling, Polygamy, Bloody wars et etc... but one that Lord Krishna gave us is the holy book Bhagavadgeetha....
which kind of preached humanity, Values, Respect etc......

Hare Rama Hare Krishna.....Hare Hare....
Happy Krishna Janmashtami
