Royal family agreed unearthed Wealth belongs to Shri Padmanabha swamy.


Kerala government, Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple management and heirs of Martanda Varma Travancore royal family on 14-7-2011 agreed before the Supreme Court that the unprecedented wealth unearthed at the temple belonged to the deity and no one else can lay claim on it. [அனைத்தும் பத்மநாப சாமிக்கே சொந்தம்.]


Relieved by the unanimity among parties, a bench of Justices RVRaveendranand, AKPatnaik said the priority was to appoint an expert panel which could suggest guidelines for safekeeping of the treasure, its security and the possibility of displaying some of the ancient artifacts in temple museum.


It told Kerala government counsel P V Dinesh that Rs 1 crore sanctioned for upgrading security of the temple after the discovery of the wealth was inadequate. The counsel said it was an ad hoc allotment and more could be given.


Appearing for the temple management, senior advocate K K Venugopal suggested appointing Supreme Court museum curator for the preservation and restoration of ancient artifacts.


He said those with artistic and historic value could be preserved, but” articles which have no heritage, artistic or historic value are to be separately kept. These are the items which can possibly be disposed of and converted into cash or immovable property by persons competent to act on behalf of temple”.


Royal family heir Rama Varma’s power of attorney holder told the court through senior advocate P P Rao that the unopened vault ‘Kallara B’, should not be opened without conducting the traditional ‘Deva Prashnam’ (seek the deity’s permission), so as not to incur the displeasure of Lord Padmanabha.


But, the court said opening and inventories the articles in Kallara B could wait as the security of the wealth, speculated upon by media, was paramount at this stage.

Serial Blasts hits not only Mumbai, but several crores of Indians heart.

Serial Blasts hits not only Mumbai, but several crores of Indians heart.


Serial blasts struck Mumbai on 13-7-2011 evening, less than three years after the 26/11 terrorist attacks of 2008. The three blasts, in sequence, were timed at 6.30 pm, 6.45 pm, and 7 pm IST, and targeted in that order Zaveri Bazaar, Opera House and the Kabutarkhana area of Dadar West. Zaveri Bazaar, centre of the jewellery industry, is adjacent the iconic Mumbadevi temple from which the city derives its name; both Zaveri Bazaar and Kabutarkhana were also targeted in the 1993 serial blasts.


No other city in the world has been the tragic target of as many serial terror attacks and bombings as Mumbai: 1993, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2008 and now July 13, 2011.


On 13-7-2011 Wednesday evening, three serial bomb blasts in the span of 12 minutes ripped through three of the busiest hubs in the city — Zaveri Bazar, Opera House and Dadar — at rush hour, killing 18 people and injuringmore than 100. The first explosion was at 6.54 pm at Zaveri Bazaar, followed by another at Opera House a minute later. The third explosion was at 7.06pm outside Kabutarkhana, a few metres away from the western side of Dadar railway station. This is the third terror attack at Zaveri Bazar.


The explosives with timer devices were kept on or near vehicles at Opera House and Zaveri Bazar while at Dadar a bus stop was the target. The police said the three locations, two of which were ‘khau gallis’, had been chosen for maximum impact. Police commissioner Arup Patnaik said it was a terrorist attack.


While the Mumbai police have not named any outfit responsible for the blasts, sources say that it could be the handiwork of a banned outfit, the Indian Muslims [Mujahideen ](IM), which recently formed a group, called the 313 Squad and has been recruiting youngsters to it.


Due to the invasion of Muslims to India from tenth centaury the immemorial systems, rule and customs of Indian people were subjected to a rude shocks. Mohamed Ghazni came to Hindustan in 1018 and from the Matura temple he gained vast treasure having smashed to pieces immense idols of gold and silver. During 1025-26 he captured Somnath in Gujarat and killed several thousands of Hindus. In its costly Temple to the dumb amazement of its protectors he sacked the place carrying on to Ghazni the famous golden gates of the temple and treasure worth one million pounds sterling.


Even to-day the spirit of the foreign policy of Pakistan was not even ideological. It was purely anti-Indian just like the Muslim rulers. Pakistan repudiated its own slogan of peace talk which its leaders had been shouting for over a decade in pursuit of anti-Indian objectives. Our Prime Minister giving monetary compensation to the victims is only a temporary consolation. He must take stringent action in removing the Pakistan extremist activities in India.


Gandhijis dream of Hindu, Muslim unity should not go as a dream only. Serial Blasts hits not only Mumbai, but several crores of Indians heart.

Whether Tamil Nadu Police will consult Karnataka Police on Actor Ranjitha Video?

Whether Tamil Nadu Police will consult Karnataka Police on Actor Ranjitha Video?


Actor Ranjitha has filed a complaint with the police commissioner against Sun Network, Tamil daily Dinakaran and magazine Nakkeeran for allegedly morphing and telecasting videos that showed her in compromising positions with god man Nithyananda. Without naming anyone, she said some people tried to blackmail her.


She wanted the government to take stringent action against these media houses. “They threatened me saying that if I come to Chennai I will be arrested. While a newspaper in Britain is condemned for hacking telephones, here, in the name of investigative journalism, they have placed video cameras inside an ashram and yet no action has been taken,” she said.


When asked about the delay in filing the complaint, the actor said she did not believe that the previous government would take action against the accused. “The change in the government has given me the courage to come out and demand action. Ranjitha told reporters at a hotel in the evening, hours after she met the police commissioner.


Nithyananda, a saint’s pervert activities have been caught up in the camera, the time he was indulged in sexual activities with some actress.


Sun TV has broad castled thro’ a video clip on 2-3-2010 and every half an hour this was broad castled by Sun TV throughout the world. Karnataka CID’s Deputy IGP Charan Reddy said. The CD was sent to Central Forensic Science Laboratory Hyderabad for analysis where it was found to be authentic, he said. “The video footage is genuine. It is un-tampered and there is no indication of alteration in the video.


Swami Nithyananda was arrested for rape and other criminal charges, got bail on 11-6-2010. The Karnataka High Court granted conditional bail to him and his close disciple Swami Bhaktananda.


Now that Actor Ranjitha has submitted her petition on 12-7-2011 to the Commissioner of Police, Chennai and the question that remains is whether the Tamil Nadu police will take into consideration the findings of the Karnataka police.


Any news agency can only publish news or videos, submitted by the public, based on the belief that the content submitted is genuine and true and therefore they cannot be held responsible for their veracity.


I support neither Kalanidhi Maran nor Ranjitha. And, I believe that if the video is proved to be a fake, the only people who can be punished are those responsible for shooting this video.


Let us hope if the truth will come one day the people will feel happier.

Whether free goats, cows can help TN’s poor families? ஆடு, மாடுகள் ஏழைகள் வாழ்வை மேம்படுத்துமா?

Whether free goats, cows can help TN’s poor families? ஆடு, மாடுகள் ஏழைகள் வாழ்வை மேம்படுத்துமா?

Chief minister J Jayalalithaa on Saturday 9-7-2011 said 1,600 families would be given four goats each on September 15, birth anniversary of DMK founder C N Annadurai. She also said cows would be given to families in villages that don’t have a milk cooperative society. Around 30% of the beneficiaries will be Adi Dravidas, the chief minister said in a statement.
   

The government will also provide financial assistance in insuring the cows and also in transporting them from neighboring states. A special identification mark would also be provided to locate the milch cows easily, the release said.
  

Similarly, four to six month-old goats would also be given free to 1,600 ‘below poverty line’ families beginning September 15.
   

As per the scheme, about seven lakh families would benefit in the next five years. The families which have already received milch cows will not be eligible for this scheme. Orders have been issued to set up a state-level veterinary food crop development scheme for providing fodder to cows and goats, the release added.
   

On September 15, Jayalalithaa government will distribute some of the freebies promised in the election manifesto, including laptops for students, electric fans, mixies and grinders for women.

We must wait and see how long these free Goats and Cows will going to help the poor families of Tamil Nadu for their day-to-day earning. If it works successfully without any problem

We can really appreciate Tamil Nadu Chief Minister for her farsightedness.

Maran, who succeeded Shourie, refused licences to Sivasankaran’s Aircel.

Maran, who succeeded Shourie, refused licences to Sivasankaran’s Aircel.

Union Textiles minister Dayanidhi Maran put in his papers on Thursday (7-7-2011), yielding to his removal over the CBI’s probe into allegations that he, as telecom minister, arm twisted the promoter of mobile service provider Aircel to sell out to Malaysian telecom firm Maxis.
   

Maran submitted his resignation to the Prime Minister, calling on him in the afternoon just after the meeting of the Union Cabinet. This is the second time that Maran has quit the UPA government, having earlier been withdrawn from the Cabinet in 2007 following a feud with the Karunanidhi clan.
   

Maran’s resignation contrasts sharply with that of Raja’s. Unlike the jailed former telecom minister, who had to be removed out of the government following the comptroller and auditor-general’s damning indictment, Maran resigned without a nudge from the Congress.

Dayanidhi Maran will be questioned soon by the CBI in connection with his alleged role in coercing former Aircel chief C Sivasankaran to sell his stake to a Malaysia-based group, agency sources said on 7-7-2011Thursday.

C Sivasankaran’s Aircel applied for licenses in 10 circles nationwide in 2003. Telecom minister Arun Shourie granted 7 in March 2004. Maran, who succeeded Shourie, refused licences for remaining 3 circles.

Sivasankaran told the Central Bureau of Investigation that the Marans were in broadcast and DTH. They feared competition and therefore didn’t grant him UAS (unified access services) license

Sivasankaran sold his stake in Aircel to Maxis in 2006. “The gentleman (Siva) had been knocking at various doors, but was left with no choice but to sell his shares to a Malaysian firm,” the CBI told the Supreme Court. Maxis is owned by Lankan Tamil T Ananda Krishnan, said to be close to Maran

Within 6 months of Maxis takeover, Aircel applications were fast-tracked. Licenses were issued in December 2006, even before payments were made within 3 months, a Maxis subsidiary invested Rs 600cr in Sun DTH, owned by Dayanidhi’s brother Kalanithi

Maran will be quizzed on the allegations leveled by Sivasankaran and spectrum policy changes made during his tenure during UPA-I, the sources said.

We have to wait and see, whether Maran is guilty or not?

Royal family members of Travancore dusting sand off their feet when they emerge from the shrine.

Royal family members of Travancore dusting sand off their feet when they emerge from the shrine.


Thiruvananthapuram Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple’s glittering gems are valued and tagged; it’s not just the diamonds that shine but also the royal family of the erstwhile princely state of Travancore.


It’s an ode to the family’s unflinching devotion and
integrity that not a penny has gone missing from the bil lions stored in the cellars of the centuries-old shrine ad ministered by the royals.


What makes the family’s story vis-à-vis the temple all the more compelling is tha the rulers always knew of the riches, yet never touched them. “The riches are mentioned in the book “Prad hanapetta Mathilakom Records” (Important Mathilakom Records) compiled by acclaimed Malayalam poet


Ulloor S Parameswara Iyer and published in 1941. They also figure in the “Kottaram” (Palace) manual which runs into 12 volumes,” says noted historian M G Sasibhushan “These records refer to the sacred cellars from which treasure is being dug out.”


Observers talk of the symbolic significance of the practice of royal family members dusting sand off their feet when they emerge from the shrine. “It was meant to con vey that the family members would not take home or misappropriate even a speck of sand belonging to Padmanabha,” they say. In fact, the present head, Uthradom Thiruna Marthanda Varma, religious ly follows the rule of paying of Rs 151 and 55 paise to the temple if he fails to make it to the shrine on any day.


“Though the kingdom of Travancore lapsed in 1949 following the Instrument of Accession with the Union of India, the management of the temple remained with the royal family by virtue of a covenant.


The family, which ruled over erstwhile Travancore has had a long lineage of vi sionary rulers. In fact, it wa a bold move by the first Marthanda Varma in 1750 that inextricably bonded the temple and the palace. The king donated the wealth of the kingdom to the deity Padmanabha (Lord Vishnu) an ruled the state as “Padmanabha Dasa” (servant of Padmanabha).


Some important names i the family are Swathi Thirunal (1813-1846), leg endary Carnatic musician who promoted English education and the last king Chithira Thirunal Bala Rama Varma (1912-1991), who abolished the death sentence making Travancore the first territory in India to do so. The last king issued the landmark Temple Entry Proclamation in 1936 doing away with the ban on “untouchables” entering temples.


Our present politicians must follow the footstep of Travancore rulers in maintaining Temple properties.

Christianity and Islam in India.

Christianity and Islam in India.


The first serious attempt to propagate Christianity among the Muslims of India appears to have been made during the reign of Akbar. At his invitation representative of all religions assembled at Royal Court at Agra.


More than 20years later there appeared the ranks of missionaries in India an advocate of quite another type. This was the redoubtable Dr.Carl Pfander, a German missionary who had been expelled from Fort Shusha, in Georgia by Russian Government.


Dr. Pfander joined the staff of the C.M.S. in Agra about the year 1835, and in course of time came to be looked upon as the champion of Christianity in controversy with Muslims. In his books he defends the integrity of the Scriptures, explaining the leading doctrines of the Bible and refutes the claims of Muhammad to be the apostle of God and of the Quran to be the word of God. Two other books written by him require brief notice [1] Tariq-ul-Hayat, [2] The way of life, Christianity these deals with sin, its nature and Consequence and explains the way of salvation.


This eventually took the form of public debates carried over for a period of three years, in the city of Agra. It is our desire that all people living in India irrespective of their religion must live as Indian and safe guard the welfare of our country.
