  • On Telugu,Telugu Men and Women,

    I received a forward from my friend Manian, who is is Australia, a Link from a Blog, which imagines it to be satire on Telugu Men, Women and Telugu in general.

    Though the piece may appeal to some as being funny, it does not appear to be matured.

    To comment on a language , which is slightly younger than the oldest languages like Sanskrit,Tamil and Kannada,even it be a spoof, is nauseating.

    If others were to comment on Tamils‘ arrogance and the propensity of living in the past like quoting Old Tamil Literature without producing anything anew in the recent past,their habit of looking down upon others,their chauvinism,their hawking their governance to Cine Actors(though Telugu had one,thank God  only once)

    ,their pastime of getting into the wrong side of every nation/state where they settle in,their so -called Rationalism where they worship at Graves,garlanding dead leaders(?) criticizing at the same time worship of idols,engaging in scams of unimaginable proportions like 2G(they will elect the same guys to rule them again)…..?

    Even for this piece, the likes of Seeman and Co will cry that ‘Tamil/Tamils’ are insulted.

    Even for fun one should know that there is a decency level and before writing one must know what and who they are.

    Now the meaning of ‘Kundi’ in Telugu,

    ‘ kundi : (page 130)

    kunda n. post, pillar; o.-ni ~ pooTLu poDucu to buffet s.o.

    kundanamkundanam n. gold.

    kundikundi n. brass lamp stand.

    kundukundu v.i. to pine, be sad or dejected.

    Please ask your Kannada friends what is the meaning of Tamil Word ( Tullu'( Jump) in Kannada!

     

    I have nothing against the Honorable Telugu people. Except that they are not worth marrying. Or even knowing in some cases. Unless they own a car. That comes with a driver. Telugu drivers tend to drive well. Mostly because they know how to overtake.

    Over the weekend, there was a surprise visit by a Telugu Family with Eligible Bachelor. We’ve heard that there is a severe drop in the number of Telugu Women, hence, I was especially careful that they not cast their Gult net on our Asal Tamil Family.

    To begin with, an average Telugu person eats too much rice. I cannot imagine a wedding where there might be 200 Telugu guests. It will result in the prices of rice shooting up. We are a very socially responsible family. Besides, in a proper Tamil Wedding, one is allowed only two rounds. Any more, and we think that you don’t come from a family of decent means.

  • Teacher runs Flesh trade-Who is a Teacher?-Hindu Sastras

    Instances of Teachers’ moral depravity has been in the news quite frequently ,not only in India but throughout the world as well.

    Reasons for this has already been blogged under ‘Education’.

    There is no point in complaining about the conduct of Students if their Teachers,instead of being a role model, have descended to be models of bad behavior.( not all of them,still there are Teachers who are self-sacrificing and a model of sterling character,though  very few.)

    Hinduism accords highest Respect and importance to Teacher(loose translation of Guru from Sanskrit,Preceptor may foot the bill more)

    गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः ।
    गुरुरेव परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः ॥१॥
    Gururbrahmaa Gururvissnnurgururdevo Maheshvarah |
    Gurureva Param Brahma Tasmai Shriigurave Namah ||1||

    ‘The Guru is Brahma, the Guru is Vishnu, the Guru is the Lord Shiva, the Guru is verily the Supreme Brahman. Salutations to the Guru’.

    Taittriya Upanishad declares ‘Mathru Devo Bhava,Pitru Devo Bhava,Acharya Devo Bhava’,giving importance next only to parents,even God is relegated.

    A Guru is one who imparts mundane knowledge as well as knowledge that will help one Spiritually.

    Sastras have indicated Two Gurus,one Vidya Guru and the other Gnana Guru.

    Vidya Guru enables you learn all the Vidyas and prepares you for mundane Life and lays down a path which you may not understand immediately but guides you in Gnana at a later stage in Life.

    He teaches you all the available knowledge through Vidyabyaasa,that is by imparting the Eighteen Vidyas explained in the Vedas.

    Contrary to what people think, The Vedas contain all that is needed to sail through Life .

    The Eighteen Vidyas are.

    The Vedas-4 -Rik,Yajur,Sama and Atharva

    Vedaangas-6-(Parts of Veda)

    Siksha,Vyakarana,Chandas,Niruktha,Jyothisha and Kalpa.

    Upaangas-(Sub-parts)-4

    Mimasa,Purana, Nyaya and Dharma Sastra.

    and

     Ayur Veda Arthasastra,Dhanur Veda, Gaandharva Veda

    These are called  Ashta  Dasa Ashta(18) Vidyaas.

    Fourteen are the ones that were initially indicated.

    The last four were not included originally as they are more empirical.

    ‘Angaani Vedach chathwaro Mimama Nyaya vistaraha l

    Puranam Dharmasastramcha Vidya heyadayach chatur dasal l

    –Manu Smriti.

    Purana Nyaya Mimamsaa Dharma Sastra angamistritha l

    Vedah sthanaani Vidyaanaam Dharmasya cha chatur dasa ll

    Yagnyavalkya Smriti.

    One may notice that all aspects Life are included.

    Will detail these in a separte blog.

    Vidya Guru teaches  students from the age of 7 till he attains the age of 19(as it takes minimum 12 years to have a a birds eye view of The Vedas).

    Having learned this the Student does not become a sanyaasi , but goes about life by getting married , begetting children and at the time when his Son is old enough to take care of the family,he enters Vaanaprasthaasrama and later a Sanyaasi.

    When he becomes a Sanyaasi , he seeks a Guru, called Gnana Guru who guides him in the path of realization.

    The Vidya Guru is mandated to be a married man ( generally,there are exceptions).

    He is to be one of exceptional character.

    He should be well versed in these 18 Vidyaas.

    ( for difference between Guru, Upadhyaya and Acharya please read my blog on the same filed under ‘Hinduism)

    He should not have riches nor should he money minded.

    He should accept what the student offers as fees after the student completes his course and not before.

    In exceptional cases, like Drona asking Arjuna to defeat Drupadha and Santhepani rishi asking Lord Krishna to save his son from Asura, Gurus ask of these things only to demonstrate to the world what their Sishyaas are capable of.

    The guru feeds the Sishyaas  from the food that has been obtained by them by begging(Bhikshai)

    This was practiced as a method to ensure Humility for the students.

    The students were treated more as children and not as students.

    Now read what teacher has descended to( not all of them)

    The headmistress of a pre-primary school run by Mahila Vidya Peeta , Hubli, has been arrested on charge of running a flesh trade.

    A team of police officers headed by ACP A R Badiger raided the headmistress ‘ house and busted the racket, police commissioner K Ramachandra Rao said on Monday. The accused, Sulomi Vijayakumar Zande of Hosur, had been running the racket for the past few years. But the school authorities weren’t aware of her activities, the police chief said.
