This is one of the best poems i have ever heard in Malayalam.
Poet, NN Kakkad narrates the life while he was undergoing his cancer treatment. Thanks to Manorama music for rendering the song in a melodious way. ( Credit goes to Jaison Nair and G Venugopal..)
ആര്‍ദ്രമീ ധനുമാസ രാവുകളിലോന്നില്‍
ആതിര വരും പോകുമല്ലേ സഖി
ഞാനീ ജനലഴി പിടിച്ചൊട്ടു നില്‍ക്കട്ടെ
നീയെന്നരിയത്തു തന്നെ നില്‍ക്കൂ
ഈ പഴങ്കൂടൊരു ചുമക്കടി ഇടറി വീഴാം
വ്രണിതമാം കണ്ടത്തില്‍ ഇന്ന് നോവിത്തിരി കുറവുണ്ട്
വളരെ നാള്‍ കൂടി ഞാന്‍ നേരിയ നിലാവിന്റെ
പിന്നെ അനന്തതയില്‍ അലിയും ഇരുള്‍ നീലിമയില്‍
എന്നോ പഴകിയോരോമ്മകള്‍ മാതിരി
നിന്ന് വിറക്കുമീ ഏകാന്ത താരകളെ
ഇങ്ങോട്ട് കാണട്ടെ നീ തൊട്ടു നില്‍ക്കൂ
ആതിര വരും നേരം ഒരുമിച്ച് കൈകള്‍കോര്‍ത്ത്‌
എതിരെല്‍ക്കണം നമുക്കിക്കുറി
വരും കൊല്ലമാരന്നു എന്തെന്ന് മാര്‍ക്കറിയാം
എന്ത് നിന്‍ മിഴിയിണ തുളുമ്പുന്നുവോ സഖി
ചന്തം നിറക്കുകീ ശിഷ്ട്ട ദിനങ്ങളില്‍
മിഴിനീര്‍ ചവര്‍പ്പ് പെടാതെ
മധുപാത്രം അടിയോളമോന്തുക
നേര്‍ത്ത നിലാവിന്റെ അടിയില്‍ തെളിയുമീ ഇരുള്‍ നോക്ക്
ഇരുളിന്റെ നിരകളിലെ ഓര്‍മ്മകലെടുകുക
എവിടെ എന്തോര്‍മ്മകെലെന്നോ
നേരുകയിളിരുട്ടെന്തി പാറാവ്‌ നില്കുമീ
തെരുവ് വിലക്കുകല്‍ക്കപ്പുരം
വ്യധിതമാം ബോധാതിനപുരം
ഓര്‍മ്മകലോന്നുമില്ലെന്നോ ഒന്നുമില്ലെന്നോ
പല നിറം കാച്ചിയ വളകള്‍ -അണിഞ്ഞും- അഴിച്ചും
പല മുഖം കൊണ്ട് നാം തമ്മിലെതിരേറ്റും (2 )
നൊന്തും പരസ്പരം നോവിച്ചും
മൂപതിറ്റാണ്ടുകള്‍ നീണ്ടോരീ
അറിയാത്ത വഴികളില്‍ എത്ര കൊഴുത്ത
ചവര്‍പ്പ് കുടിച്ച വറ്റിച്ചു നാം
ഇത്തിരി ശാന്തി തന്‍ ശര്‍ക്കര നുണയുവാന്‍
ഓര്‍മ്മകള്‍ ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കണം
ഒക്കെയും വഴിയോര കാഴ്ചകളായി
പിറകിലെക്കോടി മറഞ്ഞിരിക്കാം
പാതിയിലേറെ കടന്നുവല്ലോ വഴി
പാതിയിലേറെ കടന്നുവല്ലോ വഴി
ഏതോ പുഴയുടെ കളകളത്തില്‍
ഏതോ മലമുടി പോക്കുവെയിലില്‍
ഏതോ നിശീഥത്തിന്‍ തെക്ക് പാട്ടില്‍
ഏതോ വിജനമാം വഴി വക്കില്‍ നിഴലുകള്‍
നീങ്ങുമൊരു താന്തമാം അന്തിയില്‍
പടുവകളായി കിഴക്കേറെ ഉയര്‍ന്നു പോയി
കടു നീല വിണ്ണില്‍ അലിഞ്ഞുപോം മലകളില്‍
പുളയും കുരുത്തോല തെളിയുന്ന പന്തങ്ങള്‍
വിളയുന്ന മേളങ്ങള്‍ ഉറയുന്ന രാവുകളില്‍
എങ്ങാണ്ടോരൂഞ്ഞാല്‍ പാട്ടുകള്‍ ഉയരുന്നുവോ സഖി
എങ്ങാണ്ടോരൂഞ്ഞാല്‍ പാട്ടുയരുന്നുവോ
ഒന്നുമില്ലെന്നോ ഒന്നുമില്ലെന്നോ
ഓര്‍മ്മകള്‍ തിളങ്ങാതെ മധുരങ്ങള്‍ പാടാതെ

German election 2009
I had always wondered how the election process in other countries look like when i was in India.
In India, the election process is a mammoth exercise. Not only because the number of people who attend
in it is a big number, but the overall arrangements, leaflets, advertisements, speeches etc itself will
make a huge impact in the day to day life of every common man who is in India at that time.
Now comes Germany. Compared to India, the German election was very smooth, no sound, not much campaigning etc...
By this, don’t assume that there is no good democratic process in Germany. It is very well happening here....
This year , for example, It took place by and large a good polling. 71% of the public polled this time which is
one of the worst polling after the second world war. In India the average rate stands in between 60-65 even though
in my native state, Kerala, it will go as high as 80-85% sometimes....
What I don’t understand in Germany was the lack of general discussion among the people about its leaders
or the different political parties. Neither there is a big interest in the day to day issues nor they are
overwhelmed of any of the political activities. Some of my colleagues are not even bothered, but some
have really made up their mind regarding their likes and dislikes. I think there is a big belief , which is a very
common understanding among most of the people here, that basically a political affinity is only a
personal activity.
Of course in India it is much different. Not only because India is the biggest democratic country in the world, but in general
people, are very much into the process by campaigning for their respective parties and leaders. But this overwhelming
approach is clearly vacant in the common man in Germany.
May be the Indian society also has to make less noise and execute their franchise in a smooth manner. But , in a spectrum of
neighboring countries, which are ruled by dictators and religious monopolies, one cannot rule out the necessity to
make enough noise so that world know that, here is a country with 1.1 billion people who safeguard the democracy,
in spite of all odds...
Yes, I am proud to be an Indian and I am proud to note that Germany also go in the same path in almost same manner.
Can we still nurture the one world concept through these elections ? no idea... Time only can tell it....
-Prakash.

SERIOUS INFORMATION
Many of the Sanskrit words, Hindu ways of worship, idols, Vedic quoting, and many similar practices of Hindu dharma are being utilized by Christians missionaries for converting Hindus to Christianity.
SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF INDIA
Susrutha has mentioned more than 108 yanthras and sastras for conducting surgery which in olden days was known as salya chikitsa. Majority of the modern surgical tools ( not instruments) are the same as what Maharshi susrutha has mentioned in Susrutha samhitha.
WHAT I HEARD AND SAW
Majority of the Television channels are now at a competition for telecasting the Hindu puranaas, discourses, animation pictures. It appears as though a reversion is taking place everywhere towards our heritage.
THIS WEEK MESSAGE
(repetition) With full devotion, sincerity, dedication, sacrifice, icchasakti, jnaana sakti and kriyaasakti MARKET Hindu dharma to Hindus /non Hindus /atheists /Indians or non Indians .
A LINE OF GUIDANCE
Perform Durghashtami ayudhapooja , Mahanavami pusthaka pooja and vijaya dasami vidyaarambha wherever you are. Give the messages of these poojas to one and all. The pooja method is given in iish website.. perform pooja to your vehicle/computer/tools /instruments on durgashtami day. And all your books on mahanavami day without fail
PAINFUL HISTORY OF INDIA
We think only about ourselves, our family, my and mine. But we pray lokaa samasthaa sukhino bhavanthu. Many a times the prayer and practice are diametrically opposite.
SCIENTIFIC SUPERSTITION
We think the more the doctors and hospitals the more developed our society is and the more healthy we are .Unfortunately the truth is that the less the need and use of doctors and hospitals, the healthier the society is.
A LINE ON ACHARA.
Wash your face, hands and legs before entering into the house after walking in the streets as the washing the face can freshen you as the face skin is very sensitive. Washing the hands keeps them clean for taking food hygienically. Washing the legs give cooling effect to brain and eyes.
YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS:
You have told that Sanaathana dharma should be marketed . Is it right ? I told one and all with all devotion and bhakti market Hindu dharma, because everything in the modern world is marketed and the word marketing is the only word which communicates the message of spreading the dharma. Whomsoever can market his product he/they can achieve the goal. Or they/he can survive on the globe earth.
Is there anything called bad time or good time for anyone? Yes for everyone good time and bad time are there, sometimes we come to know that sometimes we ignore that. But it is there for one and all.
What is the aim of life? Living happily and making others life happy in a positive way.

Dr.Gopalakrishnan - THURSDAY MESSAGE, 17.SEP.2009
INDIAN LITERATURE:
Yajurveda has two major recensions / branches Sukla yajurveda ( which include Kaanwa samhita and Maadhyandina samhita each having 40 chapters with minor variations only) and Krishna yajurveda having many recensions. Sukla yajurveda has only Veda mantra as hymns in poetical style but in Krishna yajurveda both poem and prose exist. When all the recensions/ branches of yajurveda are put together, it is known as yajurveda vruksha the total number will be 101 ( few say it is 108) many of these recensions are not available now / lost for ever.
Following are the quotations from Vishnu Dharma Saastra written 2500 years ago which were the basic principles/ rules /laws or this country.
Rules and violation connected with contract jobs
154. If a contract work has not been completed within the specified time and the contractor leaves, the contractor should give the loss to the owner and 155. 100 pana fine to the government. 156. If the workers of the contractor damages the property of the owner, the contactor / worker should give the equivalent amount 157. If , due to ignorance or health problem, the damage or loss occurred for the owner the above rule is not applicable. 158. If the worker is not given the work till the specified period, the owner is expected to give the salary for the remaining period also. 159. The owner should remit 100 pana as fine too for not employing for the sufficient period, after promising. 160. If the whole things happen due to the misbehavior or fault of the worker, none of the above rule is applicable.
Punishment for grabbing government land
168. Those who are grabbing the government property , or the property given by the king for charitable work, should be sentenced to deport from the country 169. Those who are violating the rules connected with protecting the government property should also be given the same punishment. 170. If the national property or the public property are damaged the same punishment should be given 171. If deposited or security materials are stolen, the cost of the materials/ the deposit with interest should be calculated as penalty 172. Even if the rules connected with the deposits/ banking are not followed and the deposit is given based on the mutual trust, these rules are applicable.
173. If the boundary wall or the fences are damaged, the fine with reconstruction cost should be levied from the person. 174. Those give poisonous drinks, or spoiled food items should also be treated as above. 175. Sales of any poisonous drinks, or foods, and burglary of the houses or temples, also call for the same penalty with higher intensity.
Punishment for insulting government workers
176. If the high positioned government employees or workers are ill treated by the public severe punishment should be given. 177. If medium officers were ill treated medium punishment should be given. 178. If carelessly behaves towards the government servants minor punishment should be given. 179. If given as donation or sold , it is like sold for ever and one cannot argue for getting them back and if by force grabbed back, it is a punishable crime by law.
SERIOUS INFORMATION
Let us do our level best to popularize Sanaathana dharma through all popular means. Most painful experience is that Hindu dharma is targeted by other religion for conversion using all the crooked pathways.
WHAT I HEARD AND SAW
I saw in Australia hundreds of people are working with full devotion and dedication for our dharma. But the unfortunate observation is that none to give the scientific message on our dharma. Lack of jnaana sakti is the limitations.
THIS WEEK MESSAGE
Let each one of us with full devotion, dedication, love and affection MARKET our Sanaathana dharma using all the modern techniques.
A LINE OF GUIDANCE
Let 90% of the Indians just try to know what the scientific Hindu / Sanaathana dharma is. Let 7 % go deeper and let 3 % become thorough in learning and teaching Hindu dharma with a scientific spirit.
PAINFUL HISTORY OF INDIA
Conversion is going on everywhere in the far east countries particularly focusing the Hindus and the prime center of the conversions activity is THE KERALA CHRISTIANS ( they convert others even by violating the rules of those countries)
SCIENTIFIC SUPERSTITION
Meditation is not merely sitting and breathing . it is a level which should be attained by a series and serious training. Abhyaaasa vairaaghybhyaam thannirodha. Through detachment and continuous training only one can reach the level of meditation. Sa tu deergha kaala nairantharya satkaaraa seivitaa dhrudda bhoomi which is the abhyaasa.
A LINE ON ACHARA
Chant a mantra and listen mantra for ten mins which will take your mind to a highly positive altitude
YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS
Why you talk and write against the (former) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S R Reddy ? The only one chief minister in India did ( as he expired I use the past tense) everything to convert Andhra Pradesh to full Christian state bluntly in day light violating all the foundations of Indian culture and secularism. I am against his activities and not against him. He has Christianized the whole Tirumala temple too.

Let us do our level best to popularize Sanaathana dharma through all popular means. Most painful experience is that Hindu dharma is targeted by other religion for conversion using all the crooked pathways.
WHAT I HEARD AND SAW
I saw in Australia hundreds of people are working with full devotion and dedication for our dharma. But the unfortunate observation is that none to give the scientific message on our dharma. Lack of jnaana sakti is the limitations.
THIS WEEK MESSAGE
Let each one of us with full devotion, dedication, love and affection MARKET our Sanaathana dharma using all the modern techniques.
A LINE OF GUIDANCE
Let 90% of the Indians just try to know what the scientific Hindu / Sanaathana dharma is. Let 7 % go deeper and let 3 % become thorough in learning and teaching Hindu dharma with a scientific spirit.
PAINFUL HISTORY OF INDIA
Conversion is going on everywhere in the far east countries particularly focusing the Hindus and the prime center of the conversions activity is THE KERALA CHRISTIANS ( they convert others even by violating the rules of those countries)
SCIENTIFIC SUPERSTITION
Meditation is not merely sitting and breathing . it is a level which should be attained by a series and serious training. Abhyaaasa vairaaghybhyaam thannirodha. Through detachment and continuous training only one can reach the level of meditation. Sa tu deergha kaala nairantharya satkaaraa seivitaa dhrudda bhoomi which is the abhyaasa.
A LINE ON ACHARA
Chant a mantra and listen mantra for ten mins which will take your mind to a highly positive altitude
YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS
Why you talk and write against the (former) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S R Reddy ? The only one chief minister in India did ( as he expired I use the past tense) everything to convert Andhra Pradesh to full Christian state bluntly in day light violating all the foundations of Indian culture and secularism. I am against his activities and not against him. He has Christianized the whole Tirumala temple too.

Happy krishnashtami
Today is the Sreekrishna jayanthi. As OSHO said, the personality of Krishna
is unparallel in human history.

A bold step from Mr. Yediyurappa..
It is a great step indeed. Mr. Yediyurappa, Karnataka CM has taken the
bold initiative to unveil the statue of Tiruvalluvar in Blore 2 days back.
As you can see it was blocked because of the petty reasons of the ruling class
for the last 18 years... Now Mr. Karunanidhi was invited and both of them
together unveiled the statue, eventhough there were some minor protests.
As a malayalee, I think my state has a lot to learn from these things.
Since Malayalam is a language which is derived from Sanskrit and Tamil,
Kerala has so much close relationship with Tamil Nadu... But in Kerala,
we can see that no one want to care about Tamil nadu or its people in
any point of time. They just know how to bash them...
1. Kerala never teaches Tamil in any of the schools, eventhough Malayalam
was derived mainly from the old Tamil.
2. Irrespective of innumerable Rivers, Kerala depends Tamil Nadu for water
in case monsoon fails.
3. Depends heavily on Tamil Nadu for vegetables and other products eventhough
Kerala has a lot of producive land for agriculture.
Eventhough linguistic fundamentalism is there in TamilNadu, Kerala has got
so much dependence with Tamil Nadu. It is high time for the state to respect
the tamil people and their culture, so that internally it is they themself is
being honoured...
Mr. Yediyurappa shows the real path. I hope it will bring new bridges in the
decades old rivalry between the two states over cauvery issues...

INDIAN LITERATURE: Learning Veda mantras is not easy. One should start learning bye heart from childhood with ten sruthies with patience. Later on it is the choice of the student to go deep into various aspects of Vedas, if he likes. But chanting Veda mantra should be done with udaatta, anudaatta, swarita, repha, hraswa, pracheya, anunaasika, kampa, deergha kampa and pluta srutiees. Since learning is not easy for common men, it is advised that everyone need not chant /study Vedas.
SERIOUS INFORMATION: Every airlines touching India shows the slum dog millionaire movie. I happened to see it on the way to US, I found that this movie is seriously denigrating & tarnishing India.
ANCIENT INDIAN MANAGEMENT MESSAGES: VIDUROPADESA: “……People should stand united so that nothing can defeat them. They can also prosper through unity. Scholars, cattle, family members, children, women, supporter, and protector of good cause also should never fight each other nor destroy each other . ……… “Hey Drutha Raastra Maharajan! Let you be healthy ! Let you become prosperous, let you not suffer from poverty and illness,” (said Vidura )
SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF INDIA: composition of Delhi iron pillar ( which was in olden days known as Vishnu stambha) Carbon 0.28%, Silicon 0.026%, Phosphorous 0.18%, Copper 0.006%, Manganese , Nickel, Nitrogen, and Sulphur traces….. remaining iron . This iron pillar has not yet rusted and that is the marvelous iron technology of India existed for the last 2000 years.
WHAT I HEARD AND SAW : Majority of the Malayalam television channels have changed their approach from telecasting the negatives on Indian culture to as many positives as possible. Try to understand and study as much as possible from different television channels. Spending few mins or hrs to watch these is worthier than spending days together for reading the original books and to learning because, the cream of Indian knowledge is given through the programs.
THIS WEEK MESSAGE: Breaking the relation with anyone is very easy. Building the relation is a cumbersome work. The former may take few minutes the latter may take days or months or even years.
A LINE OF GUIDANCE: Let you become a shock absorber in every meetings. Give good guidance to others. For reaching this level you should never have a hidden agenda and should not get angry.
PAINFUL HISTORY OF INDIA: Sir. C.P. Ramaswamy Iyer was a great Divan for Travancore Maharaja, who created wonderful and famous institutions, in Travancore State. He even invited Albert Einstein to become the Vice chancellor of University of Kerala and brought a Titanium expert (Keralite) from England to start the Travancore Titanium Ltd. factory in Trivandrum. Later the so called progressives tarnished him and now he is notoriously known as a cruel ruler. All negatives of the king were put on Sir, C.P’s shoulders and he was thrown away from the State. That great patriot’s contribution as more than a dozen international level institutions remains the symbol of Trivandrum.
SCIENTIFIC SUPERSTITION: “Using and consuming the Ayurvedic drugs are good.” Says many. Remember that Using ayurvedic drugs is sometimes better than chemical based modern drugs. It does not mean that ayurvedic drugs are like food and are good. It is wrong to think that they do not have side effects. Drug is a drug so/and use carefully, if and only if needed.
A LINE ON ACHARA: While praying, eating, sleeping, chitchatting, etc never sit on the floor without a mat or cloth (a non conductor). The bio electricity get earthed from your body creating body ache, weakness, leg pain and arthritis. Even while eating on a dining table, watching TV, etc., let your legs be on a non conductor.
YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS: Why the sexual postures are projected in the pillars and walls of temples ?
All the spirituality/ pilgrimage /temple visit / is for the mind. Mind is resting on body. All that are present in the body are part and parcel of spirituality. How ever in big/great temples, the postures of animal and human beings are demonstrated with a precise aim. Temple is the place where your mental attention is diverted from worldly luxuries to divinity. This cannot be done within a few days or few visits. It is a continuous process as told by Maharshi Patnjali Abhyaasa vairaaghyaabhyaam tannirodha only through practice and detachment this is achieved. Through bhajans, good pictures/ odor / prasadam/ touch/ contact/ etc the attention of sensory organs can be diverted. But the attraction towards sex is not easy to divert. To make it sure that THE ATTRACTION TOWARDS SEX IS also diverted, ONLY possible method is present it in the natural form or the form the artist feel. Remember it works /worked. You can see in Mahakshetraas people do not get attracted towards these. These are only casual things for them. (There are many more explanations. I have presented only one view).
