CAN WE GET HEALED BY PRAYER?

Image
Irrespective of the religion one follows, he/she can get healed from the illness suffered from prayer. It is a truth. Any sickness, poverty, failure in life etc are nothing but severe impact of the negative energy contained in us. Negative energy is accumulated in us from the wrong doings of our ancestors. Until we get these negative forces evacuated from our self, it's impact shall continuously affect us. There are two ways to get rid off the negative forces from us. One is that we ourselves to suffer the entire impact and consummate this energy. The other is to pass on this energy and it's impact upon God. As the former is ratified by the Holy Bible and the Bhagavad Gita, the latter is endorsed by the whole New Testament as well as by the Rig Veda. Rig Veda is believed to have written between 2500 - 1700 BCE. It says about the Supreme Sacrifice of the Prajapati for saving the humanity from all sins committed by each one of us and our predecessors. Such a sacrifice

WHAT MAY BE THE FUTURE OF KERALA!

Image
The  State of Kerala has reached the rock bottom stage in the economic front. There is nothing left to expect for the development of the state. Despite it is bestowed with natural beauty and many abnormal views and experience the successive governments could not show case the so called God's Own Country in front of the world. Even the scattered number of tourists came here were discouraged by our people. Neither the government nor the people know how to market the gifted state across the world and earn huge money. Can we believe that USA have annual income of $1.9 trillion from Travel and Tourism sector. We Malayalis are contented with the few chips we get from our so called tourism. We have one of the most intelligent youth of the world. Unfortunately we cannot provide them suitable avenues to come up in life. They are forced to escape to other countries for a living. Our name sake governments are of no use to these educated youth. As per available information Kerala h

AHMEDABAD CRICKET FINAL COLLAPSE!

Image
Of course, now there is no meaning in trying to find the pros and cons of final fiasco. A team which has won all the matches until this stage, just collapsed with no resistance. After winning the toss Australia sent India to bat first. Before doing this, they had a perfect homework on all our top batsmen and they practically explained it. And they expected similar returns from us. Though they have not fully overcome the situation, they managed to stay on. They also studied well about the pitch. While our Captain Rohit Sharma had significant contribution as a Captain in winning the earlier matches, he could not train his boys to meet the extraordinary situation. While our bowlers have bowled well, they didn't know how to snatch a wicket. Our fielding was not upto the mark. When the very first ball itself offered a catch and we failed to pick it. Had we taken that, may be it would have turned the table. Ok! It's part of the game. Let's wait for another opportunity

CAN WE ENSURE SAFETY OF WOMEN IN OUR COUNTRY

Image
Norway ranks top in the world for safety of women. Women can travel through the isolated streets or busy cities any time during day or night without the slightest apprehension. Can an Indian women ever imagine about this in her own country? Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland,. Sweden, Austria, UK, Netherlands etc are also safe countries for women. Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen are in the bottom of the list as far as safety of women is concerned. The Women's Peace and Safety Index shows the worst countries in the world as per their rankings below. 1. Afghanistan 2. Syria 3 . Yemen 4. Pakistan 5. Iraq 12. Somalia  17. Bangladesh 22. India.  This list is not a honour for our country. We may be looked down by the world. Who are responsible for this situation? Not one but many. The number one is our successive governments. If proper identification and stringent punishments were ensured we could have ensured safety for women in our country. If safety of women i

STAR SINGER JUDGEMENT BY SMT K S CHITRA

Image
I am not a musician, but I love music. I have been listening Malayalam film and drama songs for over seventy years. During my career I lived in different parts of the country. I could attend many musical programmes and could listen to music of various languages. Now coming back to the subject. I have watched many musical competitions in different Malayalam TV Channels. I have seen many judges evaluating the songs sung by the competitors. There was nothing unusual in the comments by those judges. But what is being seen in the Star Singer programme in Asianet TV is totally different. The judgement made by Smt K S Chitra is absolutely astonishing. When she evaluate each performance in a few words, I just ask myself that how could one pick a song in such minute details, that too such amount of songs, quoting from all 74 musical terms, every spelling mistakes, each error of pronounciation etc. All these are done by her without hurting the contestant in any way. On the other hand

CAN THE STATE OF KERALA BE BROUGHT UNDER PRESIDENT RULE

Image
Article  356 of the Indian Constitution provides various options to enforce presidential rule in a state. The state of Kerala is undergoing such a precarious situation for quite sometime. The state do not have adequate finance to meet the day to day needs. In the absence of pension few people reported to have committed suicide and few others have started begging. In some department, salary too is held up. According to media reports many government hospitals do not have medicine to treat the patients. Surgery is suspended in some hospitals. Road accidents are mounting due to lack of maintenance of roads. There are such umpteen number of cases in the state. There is nothing seems to be at hand to overcome the existing dilemma. There is only two ways to subdue the present situation. One is that the Central Government may discuss with the state and assess their financial needs and extend assistance accordingly. The other option is to impose President rule in the state and decla

ISRAEL - PALESTINE CONFLICT AND INDIAN SYMPATHY

Image
The Church of Nativity (where Jesus was born) in Bethlehem in Palestine  The people of India, especially those from Kerala, representing different religions are supporting one side or the other from the Israel Palestine conflict.While one community openly supports Palestine most others support Israel. While the dead ones on either side remain to be same and those bodies do not bear any faith and the departed soul is not known to have any faith too, it is not faith that matter but human life that matters. When we go through the history of Palestine, we may come to know that the whole region was under the control of Israel and Judah. Then the Assyrians conquered the region in the 8th century BCE and then the Babylonians in 601 BCE and subsequently by the Persians, followed by Alexander the Great. Later it went to the hands of Romans. And when Rome became Christian in the 4th century Palestine became the centre of Christianity. Consequent upon the conquest of Levant by Muslim

The Central Pollution Control Board under the Central Government is responsible for Pollution Control in the country.

We must immediately take the following measures as the primary steps. 1) Carbon emissions from vehicles may be brought down to the lowest possible level. 2) Encourage man

THE KNANAYA COMMUNITY IN KERALA

Image
The antecedent of Knanaya Christians in Kerala begins from the arrival of the Syriac merchant Thomas of Cana (Knai Thoma) who led a migration of Jewish -Christians (early Syriac Christian) from the Mesopotamian province (today's Iraq) of Sassanian Persia (The Sassanian Empire encompassed all of present  day Iran and Iraq and stretched  from the Levant to the Indian subcontinent and from South Arabia to the Caucasus and the Central Asia) The original community consisting of about 400 people belonging to 72 families of 7 clans landed in today's Kodungallore of Kerala in 345 CE. All Knananites were Syrian Christians until the 'Koonan Kurishu Sathyam' in January 3, 1653. After this some of them accepted Jacobite faith and others Roman Catholic faith. A new Vicariate Apostolic was erected in Kottayam on August 29, 1911 exclusively for the Knanaya community. As per the Apostolic letter  "In Universi Christiani" of His Holiness Pope St Pius X and Mar Math
