SUICIDE -WHY?

SUICIDE _ WHY   ?

Wonder why there is high incidence of SUICIDE in Tamil Nadu...

Is it because  _


1.'Depression' is endemic in the area;

2. A boring, kill-joy culture, life-style;

3. Glorifying Frenzy

   I think its more either
   1. Curiosity
   2. To take revenge on someone- Let them suffer without me
   3.Escapist mentality- thinking that they will escape the suffering.
   
   But Hinduism clearly says that until we realize the true Self/Atman, our suffering will not go away. We still retain the sukshma body even if we don't have the physical body. Mind is the cause and it dies only on realization of the Atman. (That's what I believe based on what I've heard and read on Hinduism)

   It is depression in 90% of the cases. Depression can be due to several reasons. Failure in academic, social
   life; lifelong crippling illnesses,
   cancer, Tb etc; addiction to the
   bottle, drugs; losses in gambling to very high stakes. loneliness & also a let down by close relatives & friends.
   Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for depression; pep talk , drugs
   are temperory solutions; the biggest inhibiting factor, for one depressed to take away his life is the pain he will experience in dying; once he has overcome that, its all over for him !

ILLUSION AND REALITY

ILLUSION AND REALITY

Somebody asked me whether Ramayana had actually taken place.

I thought either way it does not matter.

If you read Ramayana and it had an impact on you, then it is real.

If you read it and it had no impact on you, then it is not real.

Can we say that Experiences are as real as Sensory Objects?

In a similar vein we may say that dreams are also real since we experience many emotions during the time of dreaming.

Even if they disappear on waking up we may consider it is the reality of the past.

VENKATESH IYER SAYS:

Ramayana is real as can be seen in its spread throughout our & neighbouring countries. but its a great pity that it was not left in its original form ! 

Somebody in between , probably decided to make it more attractive & popular
so as to spread our religion. Thus certain events which were impractical 
& unlikely were added !

DOES THE MEDIA REPRESENT PUBLIC OPINION?

DOES THE MEDIA REPRESENT PUBLIC OPINION?

Recently there was a lot of opposition in Tamil Nadu for the SANSKRIT WEEK, according to our Media.

In my limited experience I have not come across 'Brahmin Hatred' or  'Opposition to Sanskrit' among the common people living here.

I have a feeling that those who are opposed to Brahmin and Sanskrit are given the quantum of space in Media which is not in proportion to the following that they have.

Excellent point.

Venkatesh Iyer.

I dont know where you were, but this phenomenon was very common in the 60s; There were instances of sacred threads being cut while travelling in public transport. because major portion of society felt one small section was holding all the aces. things are much improved now , with a developed world this small portion has felt that its services are more appreciated in other parts of the world so it has taken wings & flown there; very soon , there wont be any, in our country. 

மறுபடியும் சுகப்பிரம்மம்

மறுபடியும் சுகப்பிரம்மம்!

சுகப்பிரம்ம ரிஷிக்கு ஏன் அப்பெயர் வந்தது என்று ஒரு குறிப்பு புராணத்தில்

இருப்பதாகப் படித்தேன்.

வேதம் என்ற மரத்தில் அதனுடைய சாரமாகப் பழுத்தது ‘பாகவதம்’.  கிளி

கொத்திய பழம் என்பது கனியின் இனிப்பைக் கூட்டுவது என சொல்வதுண்டு.

அதைப்போலவே, சுகர் பாகவதத்தை எடுத்துரைக்கும்போது அதன் சுவை

கூடுகிறது.

அதனாலேயே அவருக்கு சுகர் என்ற பெயர் வந்ததாம்.

அவர் மிகவும் அழகிய தோற்றம் உடையவர் நெறும் அந்தப் புராணத்தில்

சொல்லப்பட்டிருக்கிறது.

நான் சுகப்பிரம்மம் குறித்து முதலில் எழுதியிருப்பதற்கான திருத்தமாக இதை

 எழுதுகிறேன்.

எப்படியிருந்தாலும்,  கிளி மூஞ்சியுடன் அவரை வரைவது சரியல்ல என்ற

எனது அபிப்பிராயம் சரிதான்.
