Adhikaara Mada
by The Confused Orient on Oct 04, 2007 06:28 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

A great Saint and social reformer Shri Purandaradasa who was a non-conformist himself until some incidents changed his life, wrote of experience.....

Anna mada, artha mada, akhila vaibhavada mada, muuna praayada mada, roopa madavu.
Tanna satvada mada, dhaatri vashada mada, innu tanagedurilla ventemba madadinda

He describes the different subtle forms of egotism and pride that we get carried away with, but even that daarshanika did not foresee Adhikaara Mada would play such havoc in society, he missed out on this.

The misgivings of the Gowda family can best be describe so - Adhikara Mada

Well Said....Its true that "adhikara mada" has overtaken all other priorities.Its the people of Karnataka who will suffer due to politicians who are neither honest nor trustworthy.I only hope that karnataka voters teach a strong lesson to people who go back on their words and ditch peoples interests just for the sake of power.I wish Kumaraswamy comes out of his fathers clutches and takes his own decision,the way he did when he bacame CM against his fathers interest.
