Why and What Do I Blog?

I started Blogging in August 2009.

My knowledge of Computer and Internet was and still is sketchy.

In fact my son who is a Senior Business Manager in an IT multinational tried to teach me.

Well.. I could not understand any thing.

I just waned to write.

There are two types of people around me,one that states that my opinions/advice is good and they welcome it, they are a minority)

Majority felt/feel that I offer my opinions on every thing under the Sun whether it is Right or Wrong,Correct or Incorrect.

In Life, I have found that  offering opinions is unwelcome, whether it is sought for or otherwise.

The opinion seeker wants his/her opinion/views, confirmed.

If your opinion is different, unnecessary argument ensues.

I wanted to deal with the problem my way.

Start Blogging.

Nobody can hurt you, for they are not near  you for one, and for another, people tend to accept views /opinions of others who are not close to them.

(For abusive comments,I keep quiet).

Some times I am surprised that people accept my views and do ask my opinions.

Secondly I wanted to be heard.

Whether some one likes or not doesn’t matter.

Gregariousness and being heard is a basic instinct.

Many a Relationship breaks for want of hearing and listening.

What do I blog?

It comes under three categories.

Information I feel is useful to others.

They are linked straightaway to the information,possibly with a couple of reputed links.

Second,I blog on a Story on any subject about which I have some  idea, with my comments.

Thirdly I write on a subject/topic I feel I am proficient( for example Time,Health issues,parenting,Relationships,Indian Philosophy,Hinduism,Christianity,Religion) .

( even this post has Links)

Another point is that I do not know what I am going to write.

I write as the subject appeals to me.

I also contribute comments to Standard Magazines/Newspapers/Journals.

Some times I Blog them with the original story.

The purpose is to share what I feel.

In fact I do not prepare a draft, edit and publish.

I just write  and publish,  at times forget to spell check.

My  brother’s daughter tells me that my writing is forceful and language bordering on violence( in expressing my opinions-she should know ,she was a Professor of Sociology):yet she likes it.

And my copy is raw.

The same view was expressed my by son and many of my friends.

One of my Readers  suggested that my comments  must be longer.

I do not write more than what comes to my mind on the spur of the moment, no deliberation.

Well,I am what I am .

I want to thank Readers and Subscribers and Commenters  on the day of my reaching One lakh Hits.

To top it all,I enjoy blogging .

That’s sufficient for me.

I embarked on my blogging journey back in August 2009. At that time, my knowledge of computers and the internet was rather limited. Even my son, who happens to be a Senior Business Manager in an IT multinational, tried to teach me, but unfortunately, I struggled to grasp the concepts.

Nevertheless, my desire to write pushed me forward. I found myself in a peculiar situation where I encountered two types of people. The first group, which is a minority, welcomed and appreciated my opinions and advice. However, the majority felt that I offered my opinions on everything under the sun, whether they were right or wrong. They believed that I meddled too much and couldn’t resist expressing my views.

Throughout life, I’ve learned that offering opinions can often be unwelcome, whether they are sought after or not. Most people seek validation for their own opinions and views, and when faced with a diverging perspective, unnecessary arguments tend to arise.

That’s when I decided to tackle the problem in my own way: by starting a blog. I realized that in the online world, nobody can hurt you. People tend to accept the views and opinions of those who are not physically close to them. Of course, I ignore abusive comments and maintain my composure.

To my surprise, I found that people indeed accepted my views and frequently sought my opinions. This realization reinforced the fact that being heard is a basic instinct and a cornerstone of human interaction. Many relationships suffer because of a lack of listening and understanding.

When it comes to the content of my blog, it falls into three main categories. Firstly, I share useful information that I believe can benefit others. I provide direct links to relevant information and often include a couple of reputable sources to enhance the credibility of the content.

Secondly, I enjoy creating stories on various subjects, supported by my own comments and reflections. These stories are typically based on ideas or themes that resonate with me.

Lastly, I delve into topics that I feel proficient in. These subjects span a broad spectrum, such as time, health issues, parenting, relationships, Indian philosophy, Hinduism, Christianity, and religion in general. Even this article contains relevant links that readers can explore for further information.

It’s worth noting that I don’t plan what I’m going to write in advance. I let the subject matter inspire me

  1. I like the rationale behind your blogging. If one has an urge /desire/thought of getting a Sri Yantra Home and just start doing Puja to it is there any harm ? There could also be an urge to recite some beejas/mantras ..why cant one start right away..instead of waiting or searching for aa Guru , which any way with our limited intellect, we cant make out the real ones from the unreal…dosent it make sense to just start and believe that The Mother herself will show the way when time comes ? I understand though that The Yantra must be properly made in Line with Agama saastra etc ..and assume that part is fine.
    Please let me know what your take on this is…once you embark on something ,there are enough people to psyche you and instill fear …do this, dont do this etc etc…with all warnings…it just kills initiative .


    • Thanks and happy to read when you write about this.
      I read an article about swami sivananda talking to disciples…one person asked …where do we find a perfect Guru ? Swami sivananda replied ..not to worry about that .focus on being a perfect disciple first !
      No one questions the authority and experience of a perfect master and the merits of association with them. A perfect master is God himself…and these things happen …just a human volition may perhaps not work here…i thought why not start…If the resolve is true, automatically we will be directed to the next steps in line with our situation. This is what i thought.
      But i would like to read what you have to say .


      • That we will e directed to the next step is ver rare.I have seen that the Guru reaches out to the disciple if one is passionate enough.These things are, in my opinion, beyond reasoning, and I have experienced things beyond reasoning.In my case I was directed to worship Goddess Abhirami , though I hhave been ardent worshiper of Shiva( even now)by mysterious ways. I have an article on this.

      • Thanks. Will read your article as well.. yes it all tends to go beyond reason. I too have been worshiping Shiva but for some strange reason , this exclusivity is not coming, So in addition to the Bana Lingam, we also had a Mahameru …and Puja of Goddess . I was very attracted to Kolhapur Mahalakshmi the moment I saw her eyes in a shop…then we went to Kolhapur, offered Sari , did Archana ..and even went very close to the Godess idol..no one in my family in remotely even connected to Her …I also see that with Siva you can take some liberties …even a silent Abhishekam is enough , But with Devi, the mind automatically tends to be a bit process driven and elaborate. I have more stotrams with on Devi today than Siva !!!
        But I dont want to quickly run to a Guru and start the dos and donts…
        Please continue to write whatever you can share. Thanks


      • I just read your link. The sheer co-incidence of the events will move any one!! Its very good reading. Siva is adi Guru..they say. He will direct ..and perhaps he did direct you to the Goddess . Its wonderful . Thanks for sharing your experience and I hope your wife is keeping well now.


  2. Hello

    Also please write about Havayaka Brahmins of Karnataka. We are a very small community – from Uttara Kanara and Dakshina Kanara districts.

    Thanks in advance


  3. There is so much non-sense written/perpetrated already about the vedic religion (sanathana dharma) by people who wanted to diffuse it. It was also not an easy task for maha-purushas in all 5000-15000 years to revive every-time when the idea was diluted. Some omissions and errors are fine. But any attempt to document and preserve this system for posteriority is critical and noteworthy.


  4. i red in rss magazine that a vedic scholar photo dantabotala viswanath sastry phoo was there in germany frankfurt university can u gather that information and put it on net and ith authentic sources and that photos and pls answer me.

    Atomic Energy-Hitler: As a teenager, I remember the tales by my father and teacher that Hitler called for some Vedic scholars from Rajamundry to visit him in Germany to create atom bombs and rockets as given in some chapters of the Vedas. These bombs exploded at the slightest friction, so he sent for a scholar named Dandibhatla Viswanatha Sastry of Rajamundry, an expert in Atharvana and Krishna Yajurveda to resolve the issue, which he did after studying a few verses from those Vedic chapters. Sri Sastri’s picture can be found in a University in Frankfurt.


  5. Its good to lern about community history. You not included Deshastha Rigvedi Brahmin surname Kashid now living in pandharpur, Naded area of maharashtra, India
