Aarthi Darshan & Walk along the Bazaar @ Haridwar! (Photo Blog!)
Dec 22nd
The last time I was in Haridwar was probably when I was in class 4 or 5. My memories had faced badly of this place that this time since we were in Delhi for a wedding during my vacation, I thought why not make a visit to the holy city of Haridwar and get a wash in holy Ganges which is said to clean us of our sin.. so that I can have a clean slate for the NEW YEAR )) Some pics of the trip!

The Differences between the Capitalist System & the Islamic System
The basic difference between the Islamic system and the Capitalist system with regard to the distribution of wealth is that Capitalism allows interest,while Islam forbids it. Now, it would be proper to have a cursory glance at another aspect of the problem too – what are the consequences that follow from the interdiction placed upon interest?In fact, the prohibition of interest has very far-reaching, beneficial, and profound effects on the whole system of the production of wealth itself.We shall summarily indicate the effects which Islamic injunctions do have on the system More >
Why Islam is Against Lending Money at Interest?

Why is interest evil?
Allah Forbade Interest
Allah says in the Qur’an:
Translation: Those who devour usury will not stand except as stand one whom the Evil one by his touch Hath driven to madness. That is because they say: “Trade is like usury,” but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. [Surah Baqarah, 2:275]
A few verses later, Allah says:
Translation: O you who believe! Observe your duty to Allah, and give up what remains (due to you) from usury, if you are really believers. And if you do not, then take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger. But if you repent, More >
Religion a great business
Oct 12th
Nowadays religions has become a great business with very low investment. Religious scholars have plenty of cash. So it has become easy for them in leading great luxurious life and having three or four wives publicily. This money can come through only immoral way. They lie the people a lot.
It has become daily news that a religous place is getting attacked. But our people have very short memory. This sort of attack is happening for centuries all over the world. Because a person when he becomes a leader in a religion wants to control of power over the world. He More >
RELIGION = TERROR….?
Sep 26th
I see much being written about Islam here. I thought to write a blog of my own on this issue.
The majority of Indians are Hindus. A sizable percentage of the Indian population is also non Hindu, which would include, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Zoroastrians, Jewish.
Hinduism has had disagreements with nearly every faith listed, at some point in India’s history. Struggle between faiths is nothing new. Before the current anti-Islamic and anti- Christian tirade, we have had anti-Sikh sentiment running high not very long ago. Hindu faith has been in conflict with Buddhism and Jainism, religions which Hindus zealots believe are More >
BIRTH OF BHISHMA (story from Mahabharata)
Sep 16th
Goddess Ganga stood before King Santanu, in human form,
As the very embodiment of divine beauty and loveliness.
The king was so deeply infatuated with her graceful form
That he then and there requested her to be his wife for which
He offered her his kingdom, wealth and his very life, though
He did not even know who she was and whence she came.
She replied “Oh king, I shall be your wife; but there are
Some inviolable conditions: Neither you nor anyone else
Shall ask me who I am and whence I come. You shall not
Question any action of mine, good or bad, nor become More >
Avert your eyes if you must… religious post…
Sep 11th
I don’t usually post about this, as I know the subject of religion is very sensitive to some. But, as of late, I have found a lot of clarity and confidence in my theological beliefs. My whole life I have been tied in some way to religious something or other. My parents raised me in a strict southern baptist home – turn or burn – if you will. I always went along with them in what they wanted for me with regard to church and my beliefs, was never rebellious, and sincerely wanted to be a good Christian girl. And, More >
GANPATI BAPPA MORYA !

VAKRATUNDA MAHAKAYA SURYAKOTI SAMAPRABHA NIRVIGNAM KURUMEDEV SARVA KARYASHU KADACHINA !!
Shurpakarna, Lambodara,Dhumra varna, Ekdanta
The enlightened soul of Upanishads and Vedanta
Let me pray and pledge
To spread and seek knowledge
From the worlds greatest epic,
That truth wins, every dawn and dusk
Which you wrote with your broken tusk.
When kartikeya rode on the peacock
Travelling the universe in a flick
You with intelligence and trick
Encircled your parents thrice
Spell-bound the scholars and the wise
Neither hymns, gospels nor the verses
Could challenge your brainpower in the universe
Vakratunda, vinayaka, Vignaharta, Vigneshwara
Through mischief taught Kubera
Never to vigorously ride
On the horse of never ending pride
Your body is a message to mankind
For thousand More >

The gate through which one goes to building where a 24 hours ‘Langar’ from the free community kitchen is run.
The Darbar Sahib in all its glory
A view of the other buildings in the temple complex
Devotees thronging to get into the inner sanctorum
