Mecca

I heard that one has to eat beef before entering the mecca masjid. I also heard there is a popular belief that if a Brahmin enters the Mecca masjid, all the Muslims in this world would be killed. Is there anybody who is willing to go? I think I myself will have to take the extreme step if the time comes.

Meaning of my name

Shashi means moon. Kantha means husband. Husband of moon is Sun. According to Hindu mythology, the earth is the parent of the moon. The moon is visible only when it is nearer to the Sun. It is invisible when it is away from the sun. This implies that the wife should be always near her husband. The moment she deserts her husband, she becomes invisible. The moon always rotates around the earth. This means that the wife always remembers her parents at all point of time.

My ambition in life

I want to see the magnificient Rama Temple in Ayodhya.

As you sow so shall you reap

The muslims ruled India for 800 yrs and it was one of the worst rule against Hindus. After this Cristians plundered India to utter poverty. Both these communities will pay for what they have done. I am feeling elated over the war between Islamic radicals and Cristians. Both of them will die and the peace loving Hinduism will prevail.

Confession of a Brahmin

I was born a Brahmin. But I don't know the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, shastras, etc. Most people in our community feel that Vedas doesn't fetch you food. The biggest devastator of Indian culture according to me is Macaulay. He has indoctrinated western thinking into the minds of everybody in India. Most people don't even understanding what I am talking. I am feeling guilty. I am feeling sorry that this will continue for generations.

Reservations

They say Brahmins deprived the Shudras their right to education. And that is the reason Shudras should be given reservation. If you go by this argument, then Brahmins can also complain that they were deprived their right to govern as kings, the right to trade. So shouldn't Brahmins be given reservation in the army, in the parliament, in business. Brahmins should be given interest free loans. Don't you think so? Reservation is not the solution. You cannot level the fiield with reservation.

Buddha

Madhvas accept Buddha to be the 10th avatara of Lord Vishnu. But Iyengars don't.
