Cloudy is not gloomy

A typical Mid  November in Bangalore, when the blue sky is taken over by low level rain bearing clouds, when incessant drizzle makes driving crazy, when the atmosphere is nothing but dull and gloomy, all you have to do is to reach your roof top at home, park yourselves there with a hot cup of coffee and watch the skies. 

See the enthralling match between the Sun and the Clouds absolutely free. If you are lucky you should  be able to see the Moon as a substitute player for the Sun. 

Of course, it is mandatory that there is an instrumental running commentary in form of the Raga “Subha Pantuvarali”.  

All your doom and gloom gets washed away and there is nothing but bliss.

கந்த ஸஷ்டி – ஸூர ஸம்ஹாரம்

On this day of the victory for the Lord over the Demons at Tiruchendur, a coastal town in Tamil Nadu, here is my prayer in the form of Tamil Translation of a Sloka from the epic work of Adi Sankara. “Subramanya Bhujangam”.

சூர பத்மனை வதம் செய்த இந்நாளில், ஆதி சங்கரரின் சுப்ரமண்ய புஜங்கத்திலிருந்து ஒரு ஸ்லோகம் இதோ.

Translations for all Slokas are available in this website. அனைத்து ஸ்லோகங்களின் தமிழாக்கத்திற்கு கீழ்காணும் வலைதளப் பகுதியைக் காணவும்.

Vasantham 2024

Vasantha Ragam

Nature is the manifestation of the Ultimate Reality. The five elements of Nature conjure to present to us infinite combinations of names, forms, color, light, fragrance, sound… etc.

All we have to do is to just observe and contemplate on the game that the Ultimate Reality plays through Its manifestations. Words, deeds and thoughts can’t do justice to describe the play.

Yet at the transactional level, we need to express through words, deeds and thoughts.

When a genius like Sanjay Subramanyan expresses Vasantha, we have to match it with beauty. Nothing can do justice except Nature in the form of flowers.

Here is my humble attempt to present a bouquet to Sanjay.
