The last picture of CM Vijay has had worldwide release. Firsthand information from family: the movie opened with a bang even in Tucson, not even Phoenix that has sizeable Indian/Tamil population. Just imagine Bay Area, New Jersey, Seattle. Tamils/Indians around the world are lapping it up. I can’t remember when I last went for a movie to the cinemas. May be it was Bahubali 2 in Doha. Can’t spend 3 hours in cinemas. Been to only blockbusters like Dasavataram, Robot etc., to the cinemas. Can’t stand the violence and noise content. Cannot stand Vijay’s pictures sorry. Was watching Rhythm starring Arjun and Meena in tv today. It was a treat to watch Meena not even having her hair straightened and cut short. May be she used a wig for the long plait. So homely and sans much makeup. No overacting. So yadhartham. Arjun is also an action hero. I think i saw this picture in VCR at home during our Malaysian days. Malaysia! I forgot what a frenzy the Tamils there are driven to when a new Indian film is released. Ok movies are for our entertainment, that’s all. Nothing more than that. The filmy heroes are getting paid for their roles. Nothing is social service. Listen to a few upbeat numbers, watch a movie for relaxation and then get on with REAL LIFE. This nonsense culture of heroworshiping filmy heroes happens only in India.
The dots connecting the impending FCRA law Amendment 2026, Deep State of the US & the CJP of India.
What is the new FCRA amendment 2026?
On 22 June 2026, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs adopted the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Rules granting the Indian government sweeping new powers to police the activities, operation, management and leadership of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) receiving foreign funding.
The above is a copy & paste job by me from Google. The reason for the current protests in Delhi is as simple as that. India says NO to foreign funding (read American) which in the guise of funds for church can fund any anti-national activity in Indian soil. Precedents have been set in Nepal and Bangladesh where the US Deep State allegedly played an active role. The CJP, the Cockroach Party of India is sponsored by who? The Delhi protests are sponsored by who? Why should the US government that wants a favourable trade deal in American favour want to pump in millions of dollars into India year after year supposedly for church and related organizations. FCRA is internal matter of India and is of huge concern to the national security. India has every right to refuse funds from the US. What an irony is that the Americans WANT to forcefully fund destabilizing activities in India with funding through legal channels aimed at overthrowing present BJP government. Has America not destroyed enough nations on earth already.
NEET paper leak is shameful still it is internal matter of India. Care has to be taken that the protests in the capital do not get fanned out of control by the Deep state of America through channels such as FCRA. Enough was done during last parliamentary elections. BJP still won the last Lok Sabha elections and PM Modi ji returned as the prime minister of India for a third term. It is BECAUSE OF MODI AND TEAM ALONE THAT WE FEEL SECURE WITH ROGUE NATIONS LIKE PAKISTAN AND CHINA FOR NEIGHBOURS. IT IS BECAUSE OF MODI ALONE WE ARE TIDING THROUGH TOUGH GLOBAL TIMES TIMES BECAUSE OF ENERGY CRISIS IMPOSED ON THE WORLD BY THE ONGOING GULF WAR. How the team of Modi-Jaishankar-Doval is pulling the trick is unbelievable – given the massive population of India and geography. Look at the queues and oil prices in countries around the world including Europe. Risking India’s safety and security with Rahul Gandhi – is INSANE IDEA.
Funny to see the totally corrupt Stalin and Udayanidhi are making headlines in Tamil news channels with their nonsensical views. Why do they want NEET cancelled? So that per seat they can mint lakhs of rupees that will grow into crores. A steady stream of income. We all are aware what the PG med management quota seats were selling for prior to NEET. Now just the stipulated fees running to a few lakhs per year, a NEET aspirant who secures a medical seat has to spell out under payment quota. No capitation. And for PG the stipend is handsome. Initially even I was opposed to NEET when it was introduced. But in practical life over years, I am seeing nieces and friends’ kids benefiting largely from NEET paying fair fees and getting admit to otherwise impossible PG speciality seat.
All frustrated losers out there in Delhi to see if they can dislodge center. Let us see how far this goes. Meanwhile. FCRA 2026 Amendment has to be enforced and foreign funding needs to be investigated and frozen. If minister Dharmendra Pradhan is guilty, he must be dealt with as per law. How about removing him from the cabinet for a starter. BJP in power for 15 years and therefore some complacency must be setting in in the party and the leaders. The third term was expected to see this excess. Not that it is justifiable in any manner. If Modi does not act now, the party will have to pay a heavy price in the next Lok sabha elections. Dismiss Pradhan and deliver justice. Why is Modi hesitating. Is it because it will be like opening the Pandora’s box with other irregularities falling out?
BJP govt has committed nothing that Congress hadn’t done earlier. How about auditing Vadera first. Rahul Gandhi’s secretive life – we don’t even know about. How to have such a fishy person whose only qualification to anything is by virtue of birth alone – as a leader of anything. His credentials look dubious.
Corruption has to routed out but there are legal ways to go about it. Useless fellows engage in protests. Real hardworking students don’t go out and carry banners in the streets. They prove their mettle in the universities. Take a stock of the protesting youngsters: most will be non technical arts and literature and social sciences majors. No STEM candidate will ever carry a placard and waste time in protests against government. Those with scientific temperament and definite purpose in life don’t engage in worthless activities. Students with too much extra/leisure time, spoilt brats pursuing aimless degrees to make a future in visual media etc., will be the frontliners. Why can’t the media people quiz the protestors about their college background.
We all know of the Kejriwal story. CJP too will burn out with time.
Again from Google:
What is the FCRA bill?
The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) is the law that governs how Indian individuals, associations, NGOs, trusts and companies may receive and use money, securities or articles sent to them from a source outside India.
Why is America keen on funding India. They already must be running huge defence bills over war with Iran. They keep complaining about unfair trade practices by India. Yet they want to pump in millions into our NGOs, all American tax payers money, and want no supervision. If this is not the Deep state of America at work, then what is it. India has every right to refuse the ill-intended American charity.
Its not easy to govern a mammoth nation like India with diverse population of about 1.4 billion, especially through testing economic times like these. Instead of appreciating Modi govt, these guys are out to tear up the security blanket of India. Doing a fantastic job so far Modi & team. But Dharmendra Pradhan MUST go. No second opinion on that.
Awakening is different for different people.
One thing I am learning; YOU CANNOT RETRACE YOUR STEPS BACK TO NORMAL/PREVIOUS LIFE OF YOURS ONCE YOU ARE AWAKENED! Sometimes I miss that normal happy-go-lucky life of mine that evaporated just like that overnight with my third eye springing open. Not that I am ungrateful for the gift I have received from Divine Mother. Nostalgia for good old carefree times that’s all. Now I am aware I have immense responsibility on my shoulders. I have to take care.
Pleasantly surprised to discover that a few awakened SRI VIDYA souls who i have followed/listened to in You tube (who all I consider my gurus too) are visiting me (astro travel) in my home, in my visions. Not only them, other awakened souls too who I can reckon vaguely who are not into Sri Vidya Upasana or are not masters/gurus also have been spotted by me but I can’t exactly place everyone. A few white faces (!) too surface in my visions. I can aver this much: my understanding of this on talking about this matter with some high vibrational awakened souls is that, I have probably upgraded! Not only that, an unexpected (unawakened) living soul (sukshma atma or the subtle body may be) came visiting me twice. (I did not see this person in dream; i saw him in VISION in my home, probably visiting me!) That means, the subtle body/soul is leaving this person and visiting me during his sleep (in his dream) of which he may not be aware of (these are the dreams we cannot recollect) ! It means I am high on this person’s thoughts! I am saying this to show how my own understanding of the ways of sukshma atma (the subtle soul/body) is improving with these visions.
(Refer: Yogananda Paramahamsa’s book “Autobiography of a Yogi.’ Every soul/atma has 3 bodies: THE GROSS BODY (our physical body on earth) (what we call Stoola Shareer) and then the SUBTLE BODY the Sukshma Atma/Shareer (that can leave our body and roam like we do in dreams) and then finally the highly curated version called the CAUSAL BODY or the Kaarana Shareer) that will dissolve finally into the Universal/Collective Consciousness.) (like it may take some 10000 years for a soul to progress from amoeba life to this kaarana shareer level passing through some 84000 wombs of different lifecycles/species before reaching the human stage).
I have nearly had vision of all the deities whose mantras I chant at least once. Last to arrive has been Maha Vishnu. Enlightened souls may dismiss this as distractions. We have to rise over and above the deity darshan stage, I completely agree with their wisdom. Working on that. One step at a time. The initial euphoria that I guess must be natural. I will grow out of this phase.
NEGATIVITY SPOTTER: Immediately spot the negativity in homes ever since awakening. But I keep my mouth shut so as not to alarm the residents.
I don’t know – all this is since March month only although the process of my awakening started way back in November 2025 itself in Doha, where we were longtime residents. It bloomed out one fine day in Arizona, US this March 2026 as I awakened with such an intensity in my son’s home that I wanted to return to India immediately so as not to scare him! Baffled for last few months, now I realize what a gift Ma Lalitha Tripura Sundari, my beloved Divine Mother has bestowed upon me – for I never thought I was the perfect person to earn this prize from her. In fact a few happen to think that I either lie or that I don’t deserve this awakening. Crossing a tumultuous period in my life – spiritually. To what extent my Devtas have gone out of their way to show me love and reaffirm to me that they are with me in this journey touches my heart. Universal Mother for a reason!
Finally, all this is possible because of my principal gurus who I hold in deepest gratitude. I will never forget their blessings and their valuable teachings and their strict discipline. I will keep holding in reverence my principal Paramaguru and Parameshti guru for life. My sincere pranaams to the guru paramparas of India without who India may not be so blessed. They are taking forward a spiritual tradition that shuns materialism and promotes the evolution of the soul from lowest rungs to highest levels. A quiet and peaceful revolution is on for millennia in this country. I am grateful I am born a Hindu in this Bharathiya nation that made me access the Gurus and Gurutvaa with much ease. Forever I will remain grateful to my principal gurus without who I could not have come even this far. Of course I am still a KG entrant. I have a long way to go and graduate. Looking forward to continuing my spiritual journey with all optimism and eagerness with Ma Lalitha Maha Tripura Sundari leading me by my hand..
All the best to all sincere seekers. We don’t know when we will cross over to the 4th dimension.
Qatar: Father Emir passes away.
Qatar was our second home for some 20 years. We have felt safest in Qatar and Ma Lalitha once again spared me the ordeal of war. I left Qatar for the last time by January end, never to return again. At that moment I had no idea that that was my last time in Qatar. But before going to airport, climbing into my husband’s Prado, i got an intuition that I was seeing him for the last time. I now reckon intuitions are not 100% correct but they can give you a vague idea. My high vibrational friend told me, I must take it as, it was the last time I was seeing my husband in Qatar. Now we are retired and back home in Chennai. But what happens in Middle east continues to be of interest to us. I see that we lived in the middle east probably in their golden period who knows. Now the expat communities who continue to work and live in the gulf states are steeped in fear and deep uncertainty. Projects are not rolling and there is a heightened sense of insecurity among residents. Wages are being delayed if not slashed, and the Hormuz is still not safely and routinely operational.
But under the emir of Qatar, we all lived a happy and peaceful life in their country. I recall the day when the son took over from father may be some 10-15 years back*(2013 I understand). We got a message in phone asking us not to step out for security reasons. Power transition was smooth.
Under both the father and the son, the country has prospered. They hosted last FIFA world cup in Doha and I got to watch at least 3 matches live in stadiums. My husband got to watch 5 at least. Its a one in a lifetime experience. Even a nonfootball person like me enjoyed the occasion thoroughly as entire Qatar wore a festive look.
Frankly until this Iran war, I never thought such a fate would befall on the gulf states. I used to be a frequent flyer. I have switched flights in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Muscat, Bahrain that all became so familiar airports to me. Doha I used to be more familiar with than even Chennai my hometown as I spent at least 6 months there every year (3 in Chennai and 3 in the US). More comfortable with Doha metro. Our everyday evening walk would be in tastefully curated parks and in the seafront Corniche. Quality of life was really good. We had an eye for art scene there as well. I would say our life in Doha was rich in the sense, it was deeply satisfying to all our senses.
Even though I have seen Doha grow in front of my eyes under the younger Emir, I am told that its the father Emir who got Qatar out from very dismal low levels of livelihood. His period saw the nation grow stronger and become the world’s wealthiest. Politically too the tiny nation drew international attention, not only for hosting FIFA world cup 2022 but also with their keen negotiating skills with varied rival factions from warring middle eastern nations. Father emir also gracefully left the throne when he was much younger and healthy, to the present emir – a rarity in islamic countries.
Qatar has been a beautiful and peaceful chapter in my life. We grew economically little comfortable in Qatar, we became grandparents and even spiritually I benefited from enforced loneliness in Doha that I capitalized for Mantra Japam! In fact my awakening was starting to happen right in Doha before I boarded the flight to the US this january end. But I had no idea what was happenign to me then.
Qatar is also blessed today because of the powerful mantras chanted by Hindu Indian population there and because of the pujas we do there. THERE IS NO HINDU TEMPLE IN QATAR. That was a big peeve for me. So most of us double our pujas at home to compensate for lack of temple visit. In fact, we feel that there is so much of negativity in islamic nations in general because of their blood thirst and violence ideology. Definitely if nations like UAE, Qatar, Bahrain etc., have withstood this gulf war and have stayed secure, it is because of the positivity of the Hindu population and the christian population (the filippinos). Our dharmic lifestyle and good karma in middle east no doubt have kept these nations safe and secure so far. Don’t you owe Hindus a temple tell me EMIR OF QATAR?
I still wish Qatar safety and security first and wealth, happiness and prosperity. The younger emir will miss the wisdom of the father emir undoubtedly. These are difficult times. One thing I hated about Qatar was their Al Jaz*era that used to spew venom on India. The father emir trusted India and remained close. Now that I am out of Qatar for good I can very well say this: the younger emir partners with rogue nations like Turkey and Pakistan. Even Iran used to be Qatar’s best buddy. Recently in Ras Laffan, over 15 engineers lost their lives to accident (they say) in the gas production facility. 14 of them were Indians and only 1 Paki engineer. But we are all treated the same. What is our contribution and what is theirs. The younger emir will be inviting trouble to the island nation if he is going to follow this path. The older man was wiser.
Sometimes I can’t believe that I won’t be going back to Qatar. A 20 year residence just like that came to a close. Doha used to be my home away from home. I miss Doha and the peace and quiet of Qatar where silence ruled the skies. Now the same skies are seeing the missiles and drones with warnings screeching on phones as govt reportedly issues alarms. I wish Qatar longlasting peace.
BUILD A HINDU TEMPLE, EMIR OF QATAR. YOU NEED ALL PRAYERS AND WELL WISHERS. God bless you. God bless Qatar. Om Shanti, Father Emir. May your Atma attain Satgati. You were a good man. We all loved you and had immense respect for you. Go in peace.
When Ma Kali enters your body for a min…
Thrown out of my spiritual school for listening to other spiritual gurus’ podcasts in you tube. In lowest spirits. Pulled up for being openminded. Confused and dazed since crossing over to the 4th dimension in last 3 months; having my reality changed overnight; imagine Divine Mother to who nothing matters other than showing me all the time She is there for me…
Divine Grace chooses you, not the other way. I have not even done Kali sadhana. I have done two posts on how Ma Kali has made an appearance in my life. Last night was as usual. Woke up midnight to use the washroom. REturning back to bed, was surprised to note that I had been chanting Kali Gayatri unconsciously. I don’t know for how many minutes or how long I did that.I picked those two verses from You tube honestly more than a couple of years back. Those 2 lines stuck to my mind.
I recalled the last time I chanted Kali Gayatri in front of Badra Kali, in the Prathyangira temple at Sholinganallur (OMR-ECR connecting road), Chennai. And Ma Kali ended up giving me Vishwaroopa darshan in my vision. So now I made a silent plea to Her to stall (yes) as it was midnight, just in case She wanted to come to me. Sleeping is difficult for me these days as the moment I close my eyes, I am flooded with visions. I have to tire myself out and my eyes have to shut in sleep on their own. This is how I am going to sleep in last 3 months. Awakening is a painful experience. Its not at all cakewalk. I tried the same trick of trying to tire myself out to go back to sleep. Just that moment I knew that Divine Ma Kali entered my body perhaps for a minute or so. I have earlier heard of Ma Varahi entering a friend’s friend’s body in similar fashion – in daytime, in a temple. I just knew Ma was within me. It was like I had sleep paralysis. Suddenly I could not move a muscle. The sensation that coursed through my body I cannot put to words. But it was a good, indescribable sensation. Energy flow. Like a current is passing through your entire body or some sweet warmth is spreading head to foot. At that moment only a few words came to my mind; MA PARDON ME OF ALL MY SINS; BLESS EVERYONE. I had only that much time – very brief time in fact that lasted under 1 minute. In moments Ma Kali left me as quietly as She came. I felt normal then but thinking of Her grace, I feel like crying now. What did I do to deserve Her grace. I was not even Her devotee.
Not only Ma Kali, in the last 2 weeks since I got into this emotional turmoil, Ma Lalitha too showed me Her presence within me but I don’t want to share that experience here. It is like, Divine Mother in whateve way wants to show me that SHE HAS NOT ABANDONED ME even if the world may seem to have. I have nothing more to lose, nothing more to fear.
I don’t care about the obstacles i face in my spiritual path.. I am willing to wait how many janams it may take me to reach the lotus feet of My Divine Mother. She has seen me up until this. She will see me through I know now and I don’t have to think twice on that. I am human after all and I may continue to accumulate some karma good and bad, knowingly and unknowingly. Its all part and parcel of the game called Maya. But I am learning every single day.
Ma Kali is protecting me and stays very close to me ALL THE TIME. I have no words to describe how grateful I feel and how blessed I feel for Her presence in my life. Its a GIFT. No wonder She cut some cords to eliminate negativity from my life – and for Her it doesn’t matter which/what position they occupy in my life before She severs the cord; disrespect/betrayal on anyone’s part when it comes to me can result in Her cutting the cord neat and clean. I understand now wholly what transpired in last two weeks. Its HER handiwork no doubt!
I didn’t remove some posts from my blog because I didn’t want to HIDE OR ESCAPE THE MEMORY OF ANYTHING. Its also a mirror to my face to show how much I have changed with time. Humans judge you looking at your superficial body and lifestyle and YOUR PAST. YOUR PAST IS OVER. YOUR PAST IS NOT YOUR PRESENT OR FUTURE. AMMA NEVER MAKES THAT MISTAKE OF MISJUDGING YOU. MA LALITHA KNOWS ME FROM MY PREVIOUS BIRTHS AND SHE KNOWS MY HEART IN THIS PRESENT BIRTH. That’s what finally matters. Soul honesty is very important to me and apparently Amma likes that in me. To be able to live with your past and have no shame about it is itself a virtue. Not that I have done anything condemnable. I learnt about Srividya Upasana ONLY by 2020. Before that I have enjoyed life with my girlfriends and have downed even a glass of wine or vodka on rarest occasions. Unabashedly material girl. Why hide it. What matters is how you live your life once you take up Upasana. I took mine only 4 years back. After that I am living a celibate life and I am a vegetarian anyway from birth. I gave up cakes and croissants that I thought were few luxuries that life offered me. Honestly after awakening I realize, all that doesn’t matter at all. I may not be a pro, but I think you can breach that line to 4th dimension by crossing some mental barriers such as caste, community, language, religion etc., and by reckoning that your atma has no memory, no mind, no sex, nothing. Shedding your prejudices is a crucial step forward. You have to leave negativity such as jealousy and hatred behind. For me, its been a learning experience for years now. I benefited from numerous online gurus who shaped and chiseled my mind day by day.
To what lengths my Lalitha and my Ma Kali have gone in last 2 weeks to show me that divine grace is with me… I lost my biological mother early in life. Now I have Divine Mother showing me every step, every minute that She is with me.
Life has never been fair to me. That’s all right. In this janam it is my curse to be misunderstood. I accept wholly my karma and I forgive those who erred me and prefer to forget and move on. I don’t stagnate. There is no place for negativity in my mind. As Gandhi said, I shall not allow my mind to become dustbin to store hatred and negativity. I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO WALK OVER MY MIND WITH THEIR DIRTY FEET. I CHOOSE POSITIVITY; I CHOOSE OPEN MINDEDNESS; I CHOOSE SOUL HONESTY; I CHOOSE MY MA LALITHA/KALI/MOOKAMBIKA. Period. It is my heart and soul that got me even to this threshold. I will not back down now.
Jai Ma Kali! Jai Ma Lalitha! Om Shri Matre Namaha!
To those who light the petromax lantern in their hearts and homes …
I am merely reblogging what I wrote in the year 2017. As someone who lived through difficult teens and testy life, my life is testimony to how true and honest faith can transform you. Not that I am a millionaire or ace in anything. Spiritual success to me first manifests in how you EVOLVE – as a more considerate, empathatic human being, more open minded and least judging. You can make mistakes, but you can always learn fast and feel remorse. I am kind of more spiritual than religious even though I am ritualistic to a large degree. Reading my old post penned almost 10 years back, I am amused that I haven’t changed that much over years.
Why can’t the incense sticks packs list composition.
Which country makes the best incense sticks?
Indian Incense: The best Indian incense sticks are hand-rolled and made using the traditional masala method, blending natural resins, essential oils, and herbs. Temple-grade incense from India is known for its rich, long-lasting aroma. (edited)
Haha copy & paste job from Google.
But even the organic incense sticks supposedly emit toxic vapors on burning.
Other studies have found that burning incense indoors increases the levels of chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which have been linked to cancer. Burning any sort of organic material, whether tobacco leaves, coal or an incense stick – produces PAHs.
Burning incense is safe in normal amounts. Anyone wishing to avoid potential risks could consider burning incense only in situations with good ventilation.
Also from Google.
Surprised to find that no incense stick pack lists composition. The right words are there though: ORGANIC, NATURAL, FLORAL, ETC., ETC. But what is exactly the incense stick made up of. Is it 100% natural.
Also surprised that so far the Govt of India DID NOT INSIST on incense stick manufacturers to list the composition in the label. I don’t think this is allowable in any foreign country.
Nowadays I am trying to limit Agarbatti usage in my puja. However, something seems missing in that case! A label printing chemical/organic composition of the agarbattis will go a long way in clearing the doubts of the public in health matters. Brands can claim to be organic. How much organic are the certified organic really. The composition label can make the manufacturers liable to be answerable to customers.
Of late I am noticing a lot more so-called organic products NOT listing ingredients. The generic terms such as ‘organic’ , ‘natural’, ‘free of chemicals’ are liberally used. Why can’t gingely oil & groundnut oil and coconut oil manufacturers list clearly what chemicals the oils are free from. Do cold pressed/wood pressed oils come 100% organic without paraffin addition. Is it really possible to manufacture tonnes of organic coconut oil, peanut oil, sesame oil without liquid paraffin in at least a small percentage. Some, to be fair list the ingredients. Same for the so-called organic shampoos. Only a few mention they are paraben free. Many claim to be chemical free. What exactly is that chemical is our question.
Will Modi govt look into the matter. Sab chaltha hai India mein. Anyone can take the public for a ride without holding themselves responsible in any manner. No legal obligations. Look at the brand names of agarbattis. The manufacturers are all millionaires and billionaires. But such a simple thing as chemical/organic composition and additives if any – they cannot list in the box.
Again from Google:
Who is the largest producer of incense in the world?
India
India is the world’s main incense producing country, and is also a major exporter to other countries. In India, incense sticks are called agarbatti (Agar-wood: from Dravidian Tamil agil, agir, Sanskrit varti, meaning “stick”.)
Having said that, nothing to beat the aroma of sandalwood agarbattis. I wasn’t aware we are the agarbatti capital of the world! Sandalwood incense – so divine and blissful that i don’t mind having lit even if it can mean health hazards claiming to be organic by nature.
Can CM Vijay do this. Challenging.
Simply mindblowing SERUPPADI speech in today’s State Assembly, targeting the most corrupt DMK govt that passed out, by CM Vijay. Tamil Nadu has never had it so good in my memory. Finally we have a man who is clean, who wants to work for the people and who DOESN’T WANT PUBLIC MONEY.
Cannot express my gratitude for Vijay cancelling outright the Parandhur airport project saving our farmlands. Relocating the project to ‘neidhal’ lands of the Tamil Nadu coast is a wise choice. Heard the choice could be Cheyyur.The DMK real estate mafia now has no face. They are COOKED literally! Kudos to CM Vijay for stalling/withdrawing environmental/green approval for the Brigade group for their real estate promotion on the marsh lands of OMR. These wetlands are the lungs of Chennai. Enough harm has been done already. These two very bold acts alone are enough to prove what this man VIJAY is made of. He is promising action against dope, probably introduced to Tamil Nadu by DMK goons who knows. Please chief minister, save our younger generations.
TVK govt has scrapped the business deals such as planned commercial complexes worth hundreds of crores to be financed out of Hindu temple money. The sanctions were given during DMK period. I wish the temple funds are left to HINDU TEMPLES just as the church money stays with church and mosque money stays with muslims. Hindu temple donations are spent on public projects with the govt having access to even the temple wealth such as antique precious jewelry and gems in gold and diamonds. How much of this is already liquidated by fraud govts earlier is a big question mark. SIVAN SOTHU KULA NASAM. Anyone who touches Shiva’s wealth will have generations doomed – as you see in Afghanistan, Pakistan etc., even today.
However I am asking openly this to CM Vijay.
DO YOU HAVE IT IN YOU TO DEMOLISH THE DMK/ADMK GRAVES IN THE MARINA. Do you have it in you to free our beaches for the masses. Do you have it in you to SAVE OUR BEACHES, TO SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT AND PUT A FULLSTOP TO GRAVE CULTURE? Beach is the only place we can rewind during weekends without having to spend money. I am someone who grew up near seaside in Mylapore, walking to beach often, not having to spend a penny on anything. In a hot country like India, the beach is the only free/cheap entertainment/relaxation for the poor masses especially during summer months.
DO YOU HAVE IT IN YOU TO DRAW CURTAINS AND CLOSE THE KALAIGNER 100TH YEAR NONSENSE AMUSEMENT PARK IN CATHEDRAL ROAD AND RESTORE THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY THAT WAS FUNCTIONING THERE UNTIL RECENTLY. Just bulldoze with JCB!!! Not only this amusement park but also the DMK/ADMK graves. Cite Environment laws. But be ready to face the flak.
I wish I had watched more of his films just to understand this man better. Can’t believe the hero who I could not stand is doing already a fantastic job for the state. Yeah now I remember I have seen 3 pictures of his: Gilli, Kadhalukku Mariyadhai and then Vaathi i think.
First time, not seeing the traffic police stopping motor bikes for ‘maal’ during weekends! That itself is a good sign. I have seen how disrespectful they would sound catching hold of young couples out for harmless fun.
Lastly, among other projects, I am impressed with the plans to clean up Koovum river/Buckingham canal, major waterways of Chennai even a hundred years back. Vijay, please also desilt all temple tanks not only in the capital but throughout Tamil Nadu that are recharge points for ground water table, and weed out the reservoirs and lakes in time for North west monsoons scheduled to arrive by oct-dec.
Another request for CM Vijay: PLEASE RESTORE STORM WATER DRAINS AND RAINWATER HARVESTING PROJECTS MADE MANDATORY BY JAYALALITHA JAYARAM, FORMER CM, DURING HER REGIME. DMK deliberately dismantled it. The state was doing well with monsoons and rain harvesting, with the water table in the state rising to phenomenal levels during her period. Link it to future plan approvals and as JJ did, ask the households to do it within a timeframe. Yes, you can consider subsidy.
Vijay and TVK are still lucky because, DMK caused less damages anticipating a win and expecting TVK to lose. Otherwise do you remember what or how Karunanidhi left the state when it was apparent JJ would be back? Mysteriously power grids were burnt down. Overnight from NO POWERCUT STATE FOR 10 YEARS UNDER JJ, Tamil Nadu plunged to darkness and powercut days. Remember you are not dealing with just mindless hooligans but seasoned criminals. TAKE CARE. CM Vijay must also take his personal security seriously.
CM Joseph Vijay’s Mookambika temple visit.
I never watched any of films sorry! May be I did one or two like Gilly and then Vaathi. Not sure if I saw from titles to end. Always viewed Vijay as overacting fellow and as someone who came up from filmy background. But I don’t think you can achieve so much with just luck or your background. Unless you have stuff, you cannot simply reach this level – of course there must also be the Divine Grace. No wonder Vijay visited Tiruchendur to pay his obeissance to Lord Muruga (Skandha) the warrior son of Lord Shiva soon on getting elected as the CM of Tamil Nadu. He visited the Shirdi Sai Baba;s shrine in Maharashtra as well. Thirdly I am surprised about his Mookambika temple visit. I don’t think its just a political visit for praying for power. Mookambika is the reason for artists prospering – be it in music or other performing arts. Preschool children are given ‘asksharaabhyas’ (introduction to alphabets) in the temple in front of the Saraswathi deity, the Goddess for education/wisdom/knowledge. Without the divine grace of Ma Mookambika, Vijay could not have been shining as leading hero of Tamil film industry for 2 decades now. His mother, a Hindu, is also a classically trained vocalist giving stage performances. Mookambika is the reason he has peaked twice in life – in both his acting career as superstar and now as Tamil Nadu chief minister. Earlier the former CMs of Tamil Nadu M G Ramachandran and Jayalalitha Jayaram followed the same steps and they too had offered their obeissances to Ma Mookambika of Kollur.
But unlike MGR and JJ, Vijay is christian. Channel surfing, I came across his film that was playing in one of the tv channels. It was ‘Nilave va’ probably made over 20 years ago. In this the heroine is Subalakshmi. Hero is our Vijay. His name is ‘Siluvai’ (cross of the Christ). In one scene the Hindu heroine says,’I am ready to be estranged from my parents, my family to convert and marry the christian Siluvai (Vijay).’ That made me wonder whether Vijay had masterminded his entire career for political gains at a later stage. How did even the censor board allow this dialogue which has got nothing to do with individual freedom. We have had many pictures showcasing inter-religious marriages at national and regional levels. In ‘Alaigal Oivadhillai’ by Bharathi Raja showing Hindu-christian love marriage, there is never the question of conversion arising. In the picture ‘Bombay’ of Mani Ratnam, there is never the question of conversion discussed as both the hero and heroine retain their faiths of birth and bring up neutral kids (with no religious identity attached to them). I even wondered why Joseph Vijay did not use his full name for his acting career. For years, he was presumed to be a hindu only by the masses. His christian identity came out very late after he had made huge fan crowds.
However all this is in past. I am willing to still give him the benefit of doubt. I hope CM Joseph Vijay will NOT be emboldening the christian missionary mafia operating in the state bribing and coercing the poorest and most vulnerable in the society to convert.
Hindu temples that have stood for thousands of years in the face of invasions house powerful deities. But if anyone enters the precincts of the same shrines with mal intensions, our deities won’t hesitate to take out their wrath on the erring persons.
Ma Mookambika is also my ishta devta, introduced to me by my biological mother. She is in my everyday prayer. I get strongest vibes from Her and I chant Her mantras. I have been doing Diya puja for Her for over a quarter century now – bi weekly.
So far Vijay’s intentions seem good. I don’t care whether he is hindu or christian or muslim. So long as he is decent and free of corruption, I shall support him. Most importantly he must not harm Hindu interests. This is the native soil of us Hindus. Lets wait and watch. When Hindus want even a Hindu president for America, why cannot they tolerate a christian for a CM. But then, Hindus never try to CONVERT. In Hindu dharma, you can be a hindu only if you CHOOSE to. CONVERSION is NOT encouraged. Soul harvesting for numbers is for christians who sell Jesus like Harpic and Carefree door to door. To those from west who embrace Sanatana Dharma, it is a conscious choice on realization.
Om Shri Matre Namaha. May good things happen. Ma Mookambika routed out DMK no doubt. Can’t wait to see our sister Kanimozhi in black burqa along with Durga Stalin in black burka leaving Hinduism. Our Hindu brothers must make it possible for us to EXPEL THE DMK GOONS FROM HINDUISM. Strip them of Hindu identity. Unfortunately we don’t have something like Mecca or Vatican or Quran or Bible to lay down rules in Hinduism. Hindu Dharma is way of life. You don’t convert. You don’t excommunicate. Either you are born a Hindu or you make a conscious choice and become a Hindu (simply no coercion or bribe).
**************************
What I like about Vijay: HE COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT UDAYANIDHI AND PREFERS NOT TO RESPOND/REACT/REPLY TO HIM. Shabash! How not to react/respond to toxic people – learn from our CM Vijay! We have a cool CM with rare maturity which comes as a pleasant surprise. Whether when it comes to having good relations with center or prioritizing national identity/agenda first over Tamil identity, we have to give it to Vijay for laying down the ground basics firmly and clearly.
India Fertility rate now below Replacement level.
Not at all surprised that Indian population growth in 2026 registered at 1.9, under the replacement level of 2.1 for the country. Hardly a handful of my son’s classmates/schoolmates are married (32-32 years) and even those who are married are not for having babies. DINK – the’ double income no kid’ is the latest trend among whoever can manage to live as couples. Earn sky high, indulge in foreign holidays without commitments, live life king size in luxury apartments and dining out most days, shop, party – and if you feel vacuum, adopt a puppy. Unfortunately, this is what the kids of this generation tell me about how they want to live their lives. I am reprimanded by my son who has warned me that I should never question his friends both boys and girls on their marriage or about parenthood. ‘Its their choice’ says he. Even those few who are married have rocky marital relationships if not already legally separated. Depression is not uncommon. This is inspite of the kids having had a brilliant academic record capping it later with remarkable professional accomplishments. So what is missing here? Its pathetic – seeing younger Indian generation rotting away lacking inspiration. Another shocking observation that the population census may not cover is that; NOBODY WANTS TO BE MENTOR/CEO. Very few want to opt for the responsibility of taking up leadership role. We are staring at such a demotivated generation that I am not sure where we parents went wrong in raising our children who grew up in the 1990s-2000s.
Fewer babies are being born and among the fewer, a sizeable percentage of the newborns seem to have developmental issues or learning disabilities such as autism or dyslexia. Out of every three or so married couples, only one can reportedly conceive naturally without medical intervention. One may settle for IVF – and if at all it is successful, may end up with a kid in late 30s or 40s which may or may not be healthy/fit. Many such kids also figure in the autism spectrum invariably. The third couple may represent failure of IVF cycles or voluntary family planning. Quality of manpower is also getting dismal with each progressive decade. Human resources are India’s greatest wealth. In future, there are bound to be issues on this sector as well.
Ageing population: Don’t tell me, we are getting there already! From now on, the senior population may outnumber the younger lot which is a concern.
India is supposed to peak in population in another 20-30 years and after 50 years, predicted to see a sharp decline in population. This is because our population continues to grow as of date. The under-replacement level fertility rate will reflect in our population after a few decades.
My add-on: Even in that 1.9 under -replacement fertility rate I guess, the contribution is maximum by the islamic community of India than Hindu/Christian.
Reason for shrinking family size in India: LITERACY.
Silverlining in the cloud: Never seen before such an awareness for nature/ecology and responsibility towards Mother Nature/Earth. A generation that is more for equitable social justice – unfortunately we have a catch here. This is however limited to Hindu/Christian youth only.
