August 28, 2018

Sir, K.B. Ganapathy’s Abracadabra on Pavan K. Varma’s book titled ‘Adi Shankaracharya’  (SOM dated Aug. 17 and  Aug. 23) was interesting, specially about Parakaya Pravesha and about the pig. I have since read the book and found that one superstition about Shankara performing last rites of his mother was mentioned there which seemed ghastly and…

Adi Shankaracharya and Swami Vivekananda

August 27, 2018

Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled ‘Pavan Varma’s Parakaya Pravesha of Adi Shankara – 2’ (SOM dated Aug.23) was interesting. At the end he has mentioned that Deepak Thimmaiah wondered if there were more Shankaras, who accomplished all that is attributed to Adi Shankaracharya alone. In my opinion, it is like wondering how Swami Vivekananda could accomplish…

Human values lost in the rat race !

August 26, 2018

Sir, This has reference to the article “Rat race, is it worth it?” by N.K.A Ballal (SOM dated Aug. 23).

AVN’s homage to Atalji

August 22, 2018

Sir, It was my good fortune that I was able to meet Atalji twice in New Delhi. He had not become the Prime Minister yet but was a member of the Parliament. The first one was a casual meeting and nothing significant happened. The second was more important. Indian History and Culture Society was started…

Hazardous Police barricades

August 21, 2018

Sir, During a recent trip to Mysuru, I was appalled to see barricades on busy roads, particularly those that often see high-speed traffic (like the Ring Road and Hunsur Road). Upon close observation of these poorly maintained structures, these barricades appeared to have been erected by the City Police and conveniently forgotten. Furthermore, I concluded…
