Bomb blasts at Patna

Serial blasts rock Patna in and around the prime minister candidate Mr.Modi's mega rally. The blasts took place shortly before his speech. More than 90 people injured and 5 innocent people lost their lives. The explosions took place between 9.30 am to 12.45 pm in which timers also used.
All the political leaders expressed their shock and condemned the people who were behind the explosions.
Why people using such terrorist activities? They are killing innocent people by these activities.
Bihar CM said, "it is very worrying" and it appeared to be a "deliberate attempt" to vitiate the atmosphere in the state.
President asked the nation to remain calm. Sonia Gandhi and prime minister expressed their shock.
The people should remain calm and help the police to identify the terrorists.

When terrorist stop these type of activities? By such type of activities what they are going to gain? They will gain only hatredness. Instead of such activities, they must approach the problem with warm heart so that they will gain people' support and by that they will attain the goal.

Navaratri

October 5- October 14 was celebrated all over India as Navaratri festival. People in different parts of the country celebrate these 9 days in different ways. On the 10th day it was celebrated as Vijayadasami, when people will send their small ones to the school for the first time. Vijayadasami is an auspicious day to start learning a new concept.

Each state celebrate Navaratri in little different way.

Women those who are keeping Golu invite other ladies in the neighborhood in the evening and gift them  'mangala porutgal' (coconut, beetle leaves, manjal and kumkum) along with some more gift. They will give 'sundal' as prasadam.

Phailin-cyclone that hits India

Cyclone Phailin was the worst ever cyclone that hits India in 14 years. More than lakh people had been evacuated and lakhs of homes damaged and the loss for the state government is more than 2000 crores.  Hats of to Odisha Government and Central Government as the valuable lives have been saved by the immediate actions taken by them. 24 people have feared dead but it was a strike contrast to 10000 deaths when a deadly cyclone hits the same state in 1999's. The minimized death toll is because of  the precautions taken by the state government. More than 9 lakh people had been evacuated, the largest in recent history.
        A cargo ship was sunk in the rough sea, lots of people have been rendered homeless, crops are under water.  But that can be managed as we, people of India join hands with the governments in the rescue opertations.

                     The truck driver is helplessly seeing the trucks condition which were hit by the cyclone.

                                                    The damage caused by Phailin.

                                               More than 9 lakh people rendered homeless.

                                         Most part of the district were heavy flooded due to the heavy rain.

Even though we are giving good medical treatment, we couldn't boost them up psychologically.
I need help regarding this, Please can any one suggest how we can boost up them psychologically.

Anger- Vethathiri Maharishi's view

Anger is the character which spoils one's happiness. Great sages like Thurvasar and Vishvamithirar lost their power because of their anger.

Vethathiri Maharishi's view:
When we can't get what we wish, or when we face obstacle we get anger. If the anger is not shown properly then it became as vengeance. When one can not express his anger it become as sorrow.
If we forgive the person, who makes us angry, then that anger wont become as vengeance.
But we can not be polite in all places and with all other persons. For example we have to show our anger when the servants are not doing the work properly. Or when our children are doing something wrong, we should be angry upon them. We have to show our anger to them, but it should not affect our health. That means we have to act as if we are angry about their deed, but it should not be the real anger.

A thought

For the past years whenever  we switch on the tv or open the morning news papers, we used to see 'Bomb blast in India, blast in Pakistan, Suicidal attack in USA, Terrorist activity in Kenya" like this. People killing each other in the name of religion, country, caste and so on. 

For the past few days terrorists are attacking a mall in Kenya, in protest against some countries. Not only that some tech terrorists are attacking the net works of their enemy countries and hack their enemies websites, causing the industries or institutions a lot of official and economical damage.

Some people are threatening with bio weapons.

Not only terrorist activities, violence against women are also very common.

Why human who are so proud that they are having sixth sense who are above the animals behaving like this. 

We are not seeing animals having vengeance against the same species. They are not planning to kill their same species. 

But We the human beings, the so called civilized people, are planning, to kill our fellow human beings. Why we don't have the love, affection, humanity towards other human beings. Why we are always trying to cheat other people?

Those who are planning the terrorist activities in the name of religion, not thinking that all the religions are preaching about  love, tolerance, and humanity.

When the day will come when we open the morning news paper we are not seeing a single episode of violent activities?  In my dream I am always dreaming of that golden day when people are treating others with love, respect and humanity. Hope the day will come soon.
