Siva Panchaakshara Stothram

The Panchakshara (पञ्चाक्षर) literally means “five letters” in Sanskrit and refers to the five holy letters Na, Ma, Śi, Vā and Ya. This is prayer to Lord Siva and is associated with Siva’s Mantra , OM Namah Sivaya of which is also called the Panchakshari Mantra.

We ate well Veggies

Today is the first day of the New Year for Tamils who follow the solar calendar. Festival means plenty of food to eat and enjoy apart from prayers and rituals. Vegetarians in India have no issues. What about our clans in the Western World ?

Some common modern-day myths

  1. Being a vegetarian makes you healthy. Yes, we are practically immortal at this point!
  2. A vegetarian cannot be a foodie. Given we are limited to tofu and eggplant parmesan.
  3. A foodie by definition, cannot eat healthy. See above.
