Transcendence

There is a legend surrounding Guruvayur's premier poet, Poonthanam. Once the poet was travelling thorough the forest, when robbers waylaid him. He prayed to the Lord to save him. Then lo and behold, the Commander in Chief of the King's Army, Mangat Achan, suddenly appeared there on horseback, wielding the sword. The frightened robbers ran away ! Poontanam gave his ring to the Commander in Chief as a token of gratitude. Next day, the priest at the Guruvayur Temple had a strange dream. The Lord told him that a ring is there on the Deity's finger at the sanctum sanctorum and "please give this to Poonthanam". The poet went into raptures when he saw the ring on the Deity's finger ! Mangat achante Veshavum Ketti Shishta Rakshkkai Bhavan Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of the Lord when He does not wish to sign !

Even though Power Cut or Load Shedding has been lifted in Kerala from today onwards, the monsoon scenario looks grim. Rains are only 73% this year. Last year it recorded 187%. Scope for alarm and despondency, as Agri and Industry will be adversely affected. We are praying for more rains Swasthi Prajabhyam Paripalayantham Nyayena Margena Maheem Maheesa Go Brahmanebhya Shubhamasthu nithyam Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu May the Four Noble Professions Be happy throughout ! May the whole world Be happy ! Kale Varshe thu parjanya Prithvee Sasya Salinee May rains grace us May the land become fertile !

Earth becomes infertile Nirveerya Prithvee Medicines become less potent Niroushadhi Rasa The tough thrive Neecha mahathvam gathah Politicians are money oriented Rajanartha parayana Brahmins become Shudras Prathidinam Vipra Vikarma Sthitha Husband and wife inimical Bharya Bharthru Virodha Baddha Hridaya Sons and daughters scorn parents Putra Pithrur Dveshina And Righteousness and Ethics Wisdom and Morality Have to leave society And go to forest ! Evam Bhoothagana Jagat Kaliyuge Dharmam Vane Gachchathi !

Heaven, wealth, agriculture Wisdom, progeny and happiness All these can be had By the Grace of the Guru ! Swargo Dhanam Va Dhanyam va Vidya Putra sukhani cha Guru vrittyanurodhena Na Kinchit abhi durlabham !

There are many similarities in the horoscopes of Chatrapathi Shivaji and Sri Modi. Both have Jupiter powerfully posited in Aquarius. Jove in Aq is strong and gives the effect of Jupiter in Cancer, Kumbhe Karkadaval Phalani. Saturn is exalted in the natal chart of Shivaji. In Modi ji's horoscope, Mercury is exalted in the 11th. In both horoscopes Sun and Mercury are together, constituting Nipuna Yoga. Mercury is the planet of intelligence and along with Sun can give skill of a special order, Budhena Nipunam Dhee Keerthi Soukhyanvitham.

The Sword and the Pen Only the Sword can save the Pen and vice versa. It is the Pen which gives the nod to the Sword to rule. We saw the union of the Pen and Sword used to a devastating effect by Nehru. His mass media demonized the Nationalists ! Only if the sword and the pen unite, can there be victory. Yatra Yogeshwara Krishno Yatra Partho Dhanurdharah Tatra Sree Vijayor Bhoothi ! Only if Scientific Knowledge ( Krishna ) Combines with practical brilliance ( Arjuna ) Can be there be Victory's Grace ! May the spirits of Shivaji and Aurobindo work in the Indian psyche. Then only can India fulfill her role as the Guru of all nations !  

Seven houses were destroyed in Kadappuram, Chavakkad Beach, by the fierce rains. It rained heavily in Trichur in the afternoon. A darkened atmosphere prevails everywhere. Two tragedies have already occurred. The Himachal Tragedy and the Russian tourist tragedy. The Kedarnath Tragedy occurred during this solar transit last year. We pray that such tragedies do not occur in future. Mriga Sira ( Makiryam, Meissa ) means the Head of the Beast.
