There have been some questions asked on what I write on my Blog and why do I write?
The answer to the first question is obvious.
Among other topics, about 116 Categories, I write more on Hinduism, the name given to Santana Dharma by the West.
I have found that the Youngsters , the Age group between 20-35, are quite curious and want to know more about Hinduism.
And they do not want to hear the answer that things are what they are in Hinduism and one should follow it.
But if one were to explain them in simple, yet in modern scientific terms , they are interested, ask for more and they become ardent followers of Hinduism.
The percentage of Readers for Ramani’s blog from the youth brigade outstrips the elder generation by quite a few yards.
And they ask me very pertinent , intelligent question, either in the form of comments or by personal email.
I wanted to provide material for their hunger.
The information in the Religious texts, Indian Philosophy is slightly difficult to follow as the concepts are very abstract and needs a careful study to understand their implication.
And reading in English from the West distort Hinduism, in most cases because they were/are deliberately done to malign Hinduism.
I am trying to provide information to provide as a sort of signpost for people to follow.
I provide the sources where people can read and research further.
I provide information direct from the sources in Sanskrit, simplify it, present in a language an average person can understand sans jargon.
Some times some difficult concepts are presented in such a simple manner, at times the full import of Philosophical implications may not be forthcoming.
But this provides people information to check further and seek clarification.
That’s it.
Once people read from the sources, I know they will get hooked to Hinduism.
And, in my opinion, our generation has failed in transmitting the information to the next generation mainly because most of us did not know the subject or could not communicate.
This has to be rectified to prevent our Great religion being maligned and ridiculed.
The scientific knowledge our ancestors have amassed and stored…..?
Mind boggling.
As to the question why I write,
Well , I like to write, that’s all.
I do not bother about earning through my writings as God has made me contented.
I spend about 10 to 11 hours reading and writing.
The feedback I get is more than what Money can give me and even if one is benefited by my posts, my purpose is served.
To those who read my posts, please take my posts as a starting point, cross check the information and wherever possible read from the original in Sanskrit.
And point out inaccuracies in my posts.
I would like my blog to be authentic as Ramani’s blog is now rated among the first twenty authoritative blogs on Hinduism.
I would like to be authentic and I do not hesitate to correct and correct information is more important.
(I also write replies to slanders on Hinduism through my other blog Ramani Comments at https://ramanan50blogs.wordpress.com/
I have written on these subjects in this Ramani’s blogs( this blog) earlier.
Now I am writing in Ramani’s comments as a rejoinder, reply and translation of the English Blog at http://www.ramanan50.worpress.com)
The blog has crossed Ten Million Readers and has 8049 Subscribers as on August 19th,2017.
Thanks and Regards.

https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsall this talk about racial differences ….. http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/White_people.htm though i don’t agree with aryan invasion part ……if you take the darkest skin tamil or dravidian and bring down his pigmentation to nordic levels he will look just like a nordic blonde/redhead……in fact i have a theory that the extremely dark skin tone some people have is due to his pale skinned ancestors moving from low uv environments in northern [or southern lands] maybe due to flood cataclysm to regions with extremely high uv with temperatures capable of crossing 45-50 degrees and then producing excess dark melanin to compensate for their lack of melanin…..people with normal average melanin can tolerate the greater variation of uv thus having a smaller variation of skin tone….of course intermixing is so pervasive so thats another factor
https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsHi,
My husband’s aunt passed away this year ( Brahmins ). All are stating that we are not supposed to go the hill top temple. We were supposed to remove our child’s hair but since his aunt had passed away we were advised not to remove the babies hair untill she is three years old. Is it true ? Can you please help me in understanding this concept. Not going to temple was ok with me. But not even removing the child’s hair doesn’t enter my mind. Could you please help. Is it written anywhere as such that we are not even supposed to remove a child’s hair because of a death in the family. It’s his fathers brothers wife who had passed away.
Husband’s aunt belongs to another Gotra. You can perform all rituals including Hair Tonsuring. The child’s hair can be removed after completion of the child’s birthday.
https://polldaddy.com/js/rating/rating.jsI am in awe of your dedication and expertise, and truly sorry to hear that Sanatana Dharma is not properly respected (I have been secluded for so long that I am not very knowledgeable about these things).
Respected Sir,
I appreciate your work on Hinduism can you please suggest me books of good authors for studying Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samveda, Puranas and Mahabharata etc through an email.
You may read to begin with Essentials of Hinduism by Professor. Hiriyanna. It is available with Banarasidass, publishers.
Then you can start on the Vedas.
Dear Sri Ramanan
I had asked you sometime back whether a woman should sit to the left or right during a function and whether a woman can make offerings in the homa kundam. Can you please clarify this ?
Wife should sit on the right side of her husband. Left side is for only Gods’ spouses.
