Uttarayan (apparent northward movement of the Sun) started on Dec 23rd 2006. Due to an error in the Hindu calendar, Uttarayan still is assumed to happen on Jan 14/15th odd - which was the date a thousand or more years ago...Time Hindus grew up and opened their eyes and actually looked in the skies for some truths - not just the old texts...
Unfortunately ever since Rajeev wrote the article about the Tsunami, I have stopped holding him in high regard as a sensible person...he is just one of the other south indians who keep beating their drums that they are the best, they are the best. seen many many such south indians...
What happened to hinduisms vasudaiv kutumbakam. why do you want the chinese to suffer bad effects of industrialisation...are they not humans? or they are not south indians so you dont like them. if you look at anthropology texts, the ancestors of people from indonesia traveled and moved into eastern and southern india and china...but of course that was long before hinduism began...so i guess that would not apply to Rajeev...
The more I see the world the more I start understanding Mark Twain's quote "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."
Time for hindus, muslims, christians from india to travel. not just travel - but open their eyes, travel and understand how similar we all are... its a beautiful and amazing world...if we only want to see...
