 1. Beauty of God All humans, sometimes believe in His existence, and sometimes questions himself in disbelief. However, HE comes to the rescue when they confront unexplainable hurdles and difficulties in their individual lives. Such experiences wary from person to person. Those who are able to succinctly explain to others for the benefits of the larger community gain an impressive state to be recognized by others, and a few to be elevated to the status of preachers, swamijis or Sainthood.

Time is precious in life. Time is an important part of life. Time is an indicator of one’s growth and activities. Time records one’s positivity or negativity in life. Time writes the history of one’s achievements. Time dictates the speed of one’s actions and catching up, as well as the interest. Time is an index of how one lived. To keep pace with it is not easy and people who recognize this early in life work hard. Time lost is lost and can’t be gained again. Time helps those who recognize its value and help themselves.

Concepts of  Nature - Planets - Planetary Systems - Mother Earth - Environment & Global Warming Time signifies NATURES dynamism. Our Rishis called it as 'Chaitanyam'. Life is linked with it. Energy is linked with it. Activity and inactivity are linked with it. Energy in its Static Form signifies Potential Energy. This remains in its inert form. Energy in its Dynamic Form signifies Kinitic Energy. This remains in its active form. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. One form of energy is convertible to another form for better utility. Stellar bodies, planets, planetary systems, stars, etc are all associated with the above described basic features and forms of energies. Space is infinite. The extent of space is infinite. However, Dynamism extends to each of the Stellar bodies individully, as well as collectively in relatively closely associated planetary systems (say the Solar System) and sub-systems (Moons of individual planets) and so on. Nature persists in its own ...

The cohesion, unity, cooperation that prevailed for centuries was targeted to benefit at the cost of the native Hindus of the nation. However, the bonds developed by the Dharmic rituals, practice...

 The Deity in the above photo is the Ancestral Deity of the Yellamraju Family. It is the Deity of ‘Lalithambika - Lalitha Ammavaru’.  The writer is fortunate to be associated with it right from his childhood and as such is aware of some information about it. He was born in Tenali Town (1933), but grew up with his parents in Madras (present Chennai), and they used to go to Tenali every year to participate in Annual Navaratri celebrations lasting nine days and during this period prayers were offered thrice everyday. My grandfather and grandmother used to perform the prayers and as well taking the directions and assistance of the priests. As I grew up I also learned the importance and the value of the prayers carried out for the good of all (inclusive of the family). Also, my grandparents used to encourage my participation by entrusting the decorations part being left to my judgment. Incidentally, I need to narrate that the above idol came to our grandparents as a gift to them fr...
