God not a ball of cheese !






People think God is a ball of cheese and He is there to
give us cheese. He normally gives the Cross to Good and the throne to Evil.
Crooks thriving and good people suffering. We cannot say we are good people
either. Ask our enemies………….

At least Dhoni was realistic yesterday. He told his team mates
” God is not coming to save you, fight it out “. And the young Indian team
fought it out and India lifted the CT13 and Dhoni became the first captain ever
to lift three World Cups!  That is manliness, which was sadly missing in the
Indian teams of yore !  


Everything is enveloped by Negativity,
Sarva Arambha hi doshena dhoomenagnirir Avritha, says the Lord in the
BG. For everything the negative aspect is there. There is a general charge that
Astrologer emphasise the negative aspect more than the positive ! This is not
true. I always deal with the positive aspect ! 


Zen and Tibetan Handicraft Masterpieces

masterpieces characterise Nepal an Tibet.  The Himalayan Expanse, famous as the
“Root of the World”, is famous for its mysticism  and  instruments of Meditation

Where is God, when Nature unleashes Her Fury !

Now people are asking ( when natural calamities strike ), where is God ?


In this context, an Aurobindonian quotation comes to mind.

” We have to understand that Nature devouring everything, of Time consuming our children, of Death universal and ineluctable are all the Supreme Godhead in one of His Cosmic figures. The torment of the couch of pain and evil by which we are racked is His touch, as well as sweetness, happiness and pleasure. The discords of the world are God’s discords, and only by analysing them and accepting them can we reach at the supreme concords of His universal harmony, the summits and the thrilled vastnesses of His transcendent and Cosmic Ananda. It is only when we see with the eye of complete union that we find the calm and beautiful face of the All Blissful Godhead and the touch which tests our imperfection, the touch of the Friend and the builder of the spirit in Man !  For Truth is the foundation of spirituality and courage its soul ! “

Did not Lord Krishna say ” Kalosmi “, I am Time, the All Devourer, the All Destroyer !


Mrithyu sarva haraschaham
Uthbhavasya bhavishyatham
Keerthir sree vak cha nareenam
Smritir dhema dhriti kshama !
( B G )

Makeeryam Njattuvela ravages India !


Aridra or Thiruvathira Njattuvela, the Solar
Transit of Alpha Orionis, begins today. Mrigasira, which concluded tooday, was
fraught with devastation. Mrigasira is ruled by the fiery Mars and hence the
destruction ! We pray for the victims of Kedarnath tragedy. It is said that the
astrologer is wise after the event, even though he can discern the heavenly
signs !

Now Aridra is Roudra, another fiery constellation and the
destructive aspect of the South West Monsoon can still wreak havoc.

We
are de-Anaxagorasing our prayers. May not the SWM wreak destruction and may not
the Monsoon Fury affect the overpopulated Indian subcontinent and the whole
world !

Kerala Tourism nets 21125 crores in 12 !

Kerala Tourism Takes Off

It was Walter Mendis, the Corporate Creative Director of Mudra, who gave Kerala the name ” God’s own Country”. He meant Kerala is as beautiful as the Lord made it, bearing on every feature the unmistakable stamp of the great Original Creative Artist !


Kerala is amongst the top 40 destinations in the world. National Geographic is of the view that she is amongst the top ten !

More than 21  K cr has come in and more than 8 lk foreign  tourists visited this beautiful state out of a total of 10.8 million tourists.  This 21,125  cr is  8%   of Kerala’s total income.

Kerala is a state fashioned by the Monsoons. The South West Monsoon, the North East Monsoon and the Summer Monsoon always protect Kerala and she is one of the few states which report rains every month and receives more than 3000 mm rainfall per year. With the result, the climate in green Kerala is pleasant !

Kerala has a lot to offer. Houseboat Tourism, particularly in the Venice of the East, Alleppey, Beach Tourism, because of the 586 km coastline, River Tourism, Mountain Tourism &  Monsoon Tourism, because of the heavy rainfalls that grace Kerala !

Kerala is just 1.1% of India ! Yet, she hosts 22% of 47 K plants, 35% of varieties of fish and 210 types of oceanic creatures. She has 700 kms of the Western Ghats & 586 kms of coastline. She receives 2000 mm rains. You will find different types of people belonging to different civilisations as she is multi-cultural and multi-religious. That is how Kerala becomes the Lord’s own country !

The foreigners say that ” well kept beaches, good people, tasty and mouth watering cuisine, spirituality and Ayurveda ” are the hallmarks of Kerala !

Beaches are a fascination for tourists and the four out of the five Districts which receive the influx of tourist have beaches ( Trichur, Trivandurm, Ernakulam, Alleppey and Idukki ).

Some fishing villages have been defined as Fishermen’s Village. Farm Tourism is also on the rise.

Sea plane to link the three  airports of Kerala along with Mangalore


The plan of the Sea Plane project is to provide service initially in the priority circuit, consisting of the three major airports of Kerala and the prime destinations, Ashtamudi, Punnamada, Kumarakom, Bolgatty and Bekal in the state.

Kerala is the flag bearer of Ayurveda, as a rich ecosystem is housed in the Western Ghats. The W G has been defined as one of the eight biodiversity hot spots, because of the immense medicinal plant reserve. Ayurvedic institutions have been given Green Leaf and Olive Leaf and a tourist, looking for therapeutic treatment can get world class alternative medicinal facilities.

Great traffic was seen at Arthirappilly Waterfalls yesterday, as schools closed for vacation.
Cherai Beach in Vypin Islands also received heavy rush of tourists.

Real estate prices at these places have catapulted, reaching unprecedented heights. Kochi had seen a realty boom and this realty boom was experienced in Trichur Dist, in areas proximate to Kochi, like Azheekode and Kodungalloor. Due to the global meltdown, however, transactions have come down. But then this is a temporary lull and after some years, realty will boom.


I celebrated the Hindu New Year with a trip to Vallarpadam.I was accompanied by my friend, Ajith, who is the Devaswom Auditor.  From High Court Junction, we took a bus to Vallarpadam. First it traversed Bolgatty Island and then we reached Vallarpadam. We went to the Vallarpadam Church, which was neatly maintained. Work is still in progress at the ICTT and then we took a bus to Vypeen Island, where a 60,000 crore investment is in the offing. We took a bus to Munambam harbour and the bus traversed Cherai, Nayarambalam, Jnarakkal etc.These islands are connected by the Goshree Bridges and GIDA ( Goshree Islands Development Authority ) is in charge of all projects.
Along with the 80,000 cr investment in Kochi, another 100,000 cr INR is in the offing.


We had a plan to go to Vypeen Jetty and then take a boat to Ernakulam mainland, but then we abandoned it as we reached Munambam. From Munambam Boat Jetty, we took a boat to Azheekode, which is just 5 kms from Kodungalloor. From Kodungalloor, I came back to Trichur.

Kerala Tourism can revive you to recharge your body and soul, capturing you with her tantalising beauty. Kerala Tourism figures primarily in Indian tour attractions and Kerala Tourism is blessed with attractions like Kerala backwater tour packages, Kerala Wildlife Tourism, Kerala Hill Station Tourism, Kerala Beach Tourism etc. Your experiences will be out of this world, as God’s own country captivates you with her exquisite beauty.
