I just hate this phrase. Simply because it has become a tool to use it criminally against certain groups. My parents, and even every other parent, does a bit of 'policing' to upkeep the morality of their children, especially the girls. Why do they do that? Why couldn't they just let them grow with their own intellect to understand the world? Why do a mother object her daughter wearing skirts above the knee or a top that is not so covering? Why there are parents who, though not making it obvious, are careful of what their daughters or sons do? If I had a daughter I would be protective about her too. But can the same be applied to groups that has taken up rights to be protective of the 'culture'? Religions must have started this way.

Reaction to the statement on 'Mother Theresa' by Mohan Bhagvat creates ripples, ire, protest from all quarters. Couple of years ago, even hindus hardly protested when Jayalalitha and congress (hand in glove) arrested and abused Shankaracharya! Eventually he was aquitted of all charges . Not even a handfull was even bothered to react like how the christian community did to support Theresa. Thats the fate of Hindus everywhere, anywhere. We need a Bhagavat to keep Hindus from being pounded from several vested groups. If you check history of all episodes on various TV channels and print media, you will see how they abused, belittled Kanchi's Shankaracharya even before court gave it's verdict. The damage done in the society is irreversible. Now, will the same media treat Theresa the same way if Mohan Bhagvat can anyday prove her intentions of 'service'?
Everything belongs to Brahma Sadasiva Brahmendra believed to have composed this sometime between 16th and 18th century AD. The simplicity of this composition is mind boggling. I add the lyrics and the meaning below here. Priya Sisters, the wonderful duo have rendered the song excellently well. I loved the neraval part of 'sadaaa' in the third charanam. If you dwelve into the feel of the song along with the depth of meaning in the lyrics, I am sure tears jerk off your eye with exstacy. Lyrics: Raag: Darbaari Kaanada Pallavi Sarvam brahma mayam rE rE Sarvam brahma mayam Charanam Kim vachaneeyam kima vachaneeyam ..(what can be spoken what cannot be spoken) Kim rachaneeyam kima rachaneeyam...(what can be created/written or not created/written) Sarvam brahma mayam ...............(all belongs to Him / Brahma is everywhere) Kim paTaneeyam kima paTaneeyam .....(what can be read and what cannot be read) Kim bhajanIyam kima bhajanIyam ....(what can be...
