Once upon a Time, in a small village called Tenali lived a boy called Raman. Tenali was under the province of Vijayanagar, and then ruled by the King Krishnadevaraya. Rama was a clever boy, but was also very lazy.


One summer there was no rain in the village and all the crops had dried. After a long time of suffering, one day a sanyasi came to that village. As soon as he stepped into the village it started to rain. Everyone was very happy and gave credit to the Sanyasi and telling that he is great holy man. But Raman made fun of them and laughed. The sanyasi did not get angry but wanted to teach Raman a lesson which would be useful to him. He called him and told” My dear son, I will teach you a mantra, which you should chant thousand times in front of the goddess idol in the Mahakali temple. The goddess will appear and bless you.


Raman did as told, Goddess Kali appeared with her thousands heads. Rama took one look at her and laughed. “Why you are laughing?” asked Goddess Kali. Mother, I find it very difficult to wipe my nose when I have cold. I have only one nose and two hands. I just imagined you with a Thousand running noses.


Mahakali smiled and said, I see you very vitty, I shall give you a boon. Here are two bowls. One has the milk of learning and the other contains the milk of wealth choose one. Raman looked at two bowls. Mother how I can choose without even tasting either bowl. Will you allow me to taste before I decide? asked Raman. The goddess agreed.


Seizing this opportunity Raman quickly gobbled up the milk from both bowls. Mahakali was furious that Raman had trickled her. “Mother forgive me,” said Raman, but of what use is learning without wealth? Raman asked. Mahakali liked Raman’s honesty and intelligence and she blessed him. It is a lesson for the youngsters to follow the intelligence way in their carrier for high achievements.

1967ஆண்டில் முதலமைச்சரான பேரறிஞர் அண்ணா சென்னைக்கு “தமிழ்நாடு” என்ற பெயர் சூட்டினார். சுயமரியாதைத் திருமணங்கள் சட்டப்படி செல்லுபடி ஆகும் என் சட்டம் செய்தார். ரூபாய்க்கு படி அரிசி திட்டத்தைக் கொண்டு வந்தார். இந்திக்கு இங்கே இடமில்லை, தமிழ்,ஆங்கிலம் என்ற இரு மொழி போதும் என்று அறிவித்தார்.


During 1967 as a Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Arignar Anna legalized Self-respect marriages for the first time in the country. Self-Respect marriages, according to him, encouraged inter-caste marriages and caused arranged marriages to be replaced by love marriages. Annadurai was also the first to use subsidising of the price of rice for election victory. He promised one rupee a measure of rice, which he initially implemented when he took charge in the government,


It was Annadurai's government that renamed the Madras State as Tamil Nadu. Annadurai as chief minister, the state assembly succeeded in passing the bill renaming the states. Another major achievement of Annadurai's government was to introduce a two language policy over the then popular three language formula. The three language formula, which was implemented in the neighbouring states entitled students to study three languages: the regional language, English and Hindi. It was during the period of his Chief Minister ship that the Second World Tamil Conference was conducted on a grand scale on 3 January 1968. Nevertheless, when a commemorative stamp was released to mark the Tamil conference, Annadurai expressed his dissatisfaction that the stamp contained Hindi when it was for Tamil.


Arignar Anna when took charge as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu during 1967, he has done everything of what he has told as an opposition party leader. Our leaders must also follow his way of sincerity in keeping up their words promised by them to the people.

What Arignar Anna told during 1948 Hindi agitation?


தமிழனுடைய பண்பை அழிக்க,அவனது கலாச்சாரத்தை தமிழ் மக்களிடத்து இன்று ஏற்பட்டுள்ள புத்துணர்ச்சியை ஒழிக்க இவற்றிற்காகத்தான் இந்தியை நுழைக்கிறார்கள். அண்ணா கூறியதை “You Tube” மூலம் சொல்லி உள்ளேன்.


In the year 1946-50, there were sporadic agitations against Hindi by the Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) and Periyar. Whenever the government introduced Hindi as a compulsory language in schools, anti-Hindi protests happened and succeeded in stopping the move. The largest anti-Hindi agitations in this period occurred in 1948-50. After India obtained independence in 1947, the Congress Government at the Centre urged all states to make Hindi compulsory in schools.


The Congress Government of Madras Presidency under Omandur Ramasamy Reddiar complied and made Hindi compulsory from the academic year 1948-49. It also introduced a minimum mark qualification in Hindi for the promotion of students to higher classes. Periyar once again launched an anti-Hindi agitation. The 1948 agitation was supported by former Congress nationalists like M. P. Sivagnanam and Thiru. Vi. Ka, who recanted their earlier pro-Hindi policies.


On 17 July, the DK convened an all party anti-Hindi conference to oppose the compulsory Hindi teaching. As in the agitation of 1938-40, this agitation was also characterized by strikes, black flag demonstrations and anti-Hindi processions.


When Rajaji (then the Governor-General of India) visited Madras on 23 August, the DK staged a black flag demonstration protesting against his visit. On 27 August, Periyar and Annadurai were arrested. The Government did not change its position on Hindi and the agitation continued. On 18 December, Periyar and other DK leaders were arrested again. A compromise was reached between the government and agitators. The government stopped the legal action against the agitators and they in turn dropped the agitation on 26 December 1948.

Central shrine of all Arabia is the” Kaba” at Mecca.

Central shrine of all Arabia is the” Kaba” at Mecca.


அரேபியாவில் மெக்காவில் உள்ள இஸ்லாமிய மக்கள் வழிபடும் “காபா” பற்றி பலரும் அறிவார்கள். காபா என்பது என்ன? அதன் சிறப்பு என்ன? என்பதைப்பற்றி நாம் இப்போது “You Tube” மூலம் தெரிந்தது கொள்ளலாம்.


Repeated reference has been made in the central shrine of all Arabia, the” Kaba” at Mecca. What it did it signify? This cube shaped building, for that is the meaning of the word, measures about 39 feet by 33 and is a little over 49feet high. The chief object of the veneration in it ia the Black Stone, al-hajaru’l-aswad, which is built into the south-eastern corner, five feet above the ground. This stone is the oldest treasure of Mecca, and being in all probability an aero liter has been treated with awe from of old as something that fell from the sky. But this was only one, though a very special one, of many stones looked upon as sacred by the Arabs in those days before the establishment of the new faith. These stones of curious shapes, some long like human images and moulded by the action of wind and rain –these ( and not man made idols) were their object of worship, representing to them as God and goddesses. Some of them were worshipped where they stood; others were surrounded by a circle of stones or, like the black stone, were built into shrine.


At one time there were over 300 of these stones inside the Ka”ba. Such a shrine usually had a well in the neighbour-hood winch was used for ceremonial ablutions, and perhaps a sacred tree on which the worshippers hung votive offerings. The shrine and the surrounding area was haram, sacred territory, and all living things, men or animals, could find safe refuge within it. The very trees were sacred and no one was allowed to pluck a branch from them. Such sites were deserted for most of the year, but on special occasions the tribes assembled at these shrines and offered sacrifices, chiefly camels, to the particular god or goddess of their tribe. At the time of these sacrifices all present had to perform certain pacificator rites. They pored the blood of the sacrificial animal on the sacred stones and, after shaving their heads, ate of its flesh.


Sometimes the sacred stones were carried in procession as, for instance when there was a drought or at the time of the pilgrimages to the shrine, and then the procession concluded with a seven fold circumambulation of the shrine itself. Divination also was practiced at the shrines and in this the hahin or the soothsayer played his part.


There was no priestly class for the worship at the shrines. Their guardians and the soothsayers performed the necessary duties. The latter especially the female ones were believed to possess occult powers.


The Arabs were fatalists, with no clear idea of a future life or the immortality of the soul. They believed in and feared jinn. genii, beings half demon, half man, who had no alarming way of making themselves invisible. But in the century before Mohammad some Arabs were beginning to believe in Allah, the God of whom they said he was Allahu akbar, i.e., “Allah greater than” others.


We also appreciate and bow the way of faith of Arabians to God. We also feel that God will be every ware and even in the heart of good people who always thinking about to do good things to all human beings. We have to also think over that in the name of sacrifices any living creatures created by God should not be killed. It is my opinion that no God will accept such a cruel activity of killing animal to fulfill the wishes of the individuals.

Vathsayana in Kamasutra and Thiruvalluvar in Thirukkural guided the way for happy married sex life.


புதிதாக மணம் செய்துகொண்ட இளம் தம்பதிகளுக்கு, வாத்சாயனர் தனது காம சூத்ரா நூலிலும், திருவள்ளூர் தனது திருக்குறளின் இன்பத்துப் பால் மூலமாகவும்,தம்பதிகள் தங்கள் இல்லற வாழ்வில் முழு திருப்தியுடன் வாழும் வழி பற்றி விளக்கி உள்ளார்கள். அதை இளம் தம்பதிகள் நன்கு படித்து வாழ்வில் நன்மைகள் பெறவேண்டும்.


In Kamasutra it tells all manner of challenging positions. Vatsyayana has given the art of love making a dual responsibility and given both the sexes equal level of satisfaction. There are positions in the Kamasutra where woman-power is given lot of importance. Vatsyayana and Thiruvalluvar in Thirukkural have given woman so much supremacy in love making and telling man under her control.


1.The Kshudgaga Position Vatsyayana describes this position as follows:


The wife sits with raised thighs, her feet placed either side of your waist; "linga" (penis) enters "yoni" (vagina); you rain hard blows upon her body: This is "Kshudgaga". Thus in this position the woman sits astride the man with her feet positioned on either side of his waist and the man enters her with hard blows. This position gives very limited scope of penetration and enjoyment.


2.The Padma Position Vatsyayana describes this position as follows:


The man sitting facing her, he grasp her ankles and fasten them like a chain behind your neck, and she grips her toes as you make love, it is the delightful "Padma" (The Lotus)." In this position the woman has to sit on the man's lap facing him and the man lifts the woman's ankles which he positions behind his neck. He then proceeds to enter her while she grabs hold of her feet and helps the thrusting motion


3.The Kaurma Position Vatsyayana describes this position as follows:


The man and lady seated face to face, his toes caress the lovely woman's nipples, her feet press your chest and you make love holding each other's hands It is "Kaurma", the Tortoise." This is an extremely intimate and sensuous position in which touching and eye-contact is very important. The partners face each other in a seated position with their feet on each other's chest. "Sitting face to face in bed, her breasts pressed tight against your chest, let each of you lock heels behind the other's waist, and lean back clasping one another's wrists.


4.The Dolita Position Vatsyayana describes this position as follows:


This is Dolita Position (The Swing)) This position is basically about togetherness and being physically intimate. The penetration and thrusts here is almost negligent because of the peculiarity of the position.


5. The Samdamsha Position .


This is "Samdamsha". In this position where Vatsyanana gives absolute power and control to the woman. The man in this position literally has to back and enjoy while the woman has to do all the hard work. In this position the woman enjoys all the supremacy and can control the thrusts and penetration. Thus in this position the woman has to sit on the man's lap and she holds the man's penis in a vice-like grip and skillfully manipulates Movement inside her till and controls the thrusts and penetration.


Vatsyayana in Kamasutra and Tamil Poet Thiruvalluvar in Thirukkural enlightened the ways for young couples for leading a happy satisfied married life. I suggest the Young couples must read the full versions of the Books, and grasp the good and leave the bad from them.

In Benares Aurangazeb destroyed the Temple of Vishnu and a shrine at Mathura and on its site built a Mosque.

In Benares Aurangazeb destroyed the Temple of Vishnu and a shrine at Mathura and on its site built a Mosque.


ஔரங்கசீப் பணம்,பதவிகளால் மன நிம்மதியை அடைய முடியவில்லை. மதத்தின் மீது ஆர்வம அதிகம் இருந்த அவன், மரணத்தின் பிடியிலிருந்து மீள முடியவில்லை. காசியில் உள்ள இந்து ஆலயத்தை இடித்து மசூதியைக் கட்டிய அவன் மன நிம்மதியை அடைந்தானா? அவனது படை வீரர்களே அவனிடம் பணி புரிய விரும்பாமல் தங்கள் நாடுகள் நோக்கித்திரும்பினர்.ஔரங்கசீப்பின் வரலாறு மத விரோதத்தை மறந்து, ஒருவர் மதத்தை மற்றவர் மதிக்கவேண்டும் என்பதே.



The Mughal emperor Aurangazeb was a strict Muslim of Sunni sect. The story of his reign would have been very different had he followed the policy deemed wise by his father Shah-Jahan. He only liked others of his line. He lived in dread of being poisoned. His courtiers and officers lived in fear of him, for which all respected him none loved him. Made wise from personal experience he imprisoned his own sons, one for life and another for six years because he suspected them of disloyalty. Aurangazeb nevertheless was sufficiently a Mughal to maintain a court of dazzling splendor. Delhi the city of Shah-Jahan was his favourite capital. The beautiful and famous hall of audience in the palace was often the scene of such amazing brilliance as to merit the inscription over its entrance. The famous Peacock Golden Throne constructed by Shah-Jahan, was perhaps the most arresting ornament. The value of the Throne is more than Six crores in those days.



When twenty years of his reign had passed by Aurngazeb seemed to rouse him from the tolerance he never felt and only half concealed. In Benares he destroyed the Temple of Vishnu and then razed to the ground a shrine at Mathura and on its site built a Mosque. He had the idols brought to Agra where they were buried under the steps of a Mosque, so that Muslims might feel they were trampling them underfoot.



It was a gratuitous insult to all Hindus, including the Rajputs. Aurangazeb now bethought himself of the still unconquered Deccan and turned South onwards on a punitive expedition. In Marhattas of the Konkan and Western Ghats, Hindus emerged as tireless fighters in guerilla warfare. Their leader Shivaji having established himself in the Konkan, and after gaining several successes was forced to make terms with Aurangazeb. Shivaji spirit lived in the nation he had created.



Aurangazeb conquered the Deccan. The majority of his army had no taste for service under him and went over to Marhattas. His forces just failed of success mainly because of he no longer had the assistance of the Rajputs.



Aurangazebs zealous faith could not save him from the dread of approaching death. His grave is in the obscure village of Roza, near Aurangabad.



By destroying the worship place of others faith, Aurangazeb never attained any mental peace. It is a lesson for every body that they should not indulge in others faith.
