My son, Utheya is married !


My eldest son Utheya & his long time girlfriend Joey wed last Sunday (12/06/2011) here in Melaka with the blessings of all our families, friends and relatives and it was a wedding that made both the union of families happy & proud and hopefully the newlyweds very fulfilled as well.  Though the wedding itself was a simple, small & private do with mostly dear family & relatives blessing the newly weds, their wedding dinner was a slightly larger affair. 




 


The wedding & dinner at the Tiara Golf &Country Resort was truly a cheery and happy day which was beautifully planned and meticulously arranged with guests informed and invited within a short span of 4 weeks (!) by the ladies in both families and the duties, arrangements and bookings all falling neatly into place as if pre-ordained by the Heavens itself to culminate into a Grand Sunday Wedding for Utheya and Joey.











With my second son Chandra as the best man to accompany his brother throughout the sunny and gorgeous cloudy Sunday – (I have to say my favorite part of that day begun with Utheya friends and their entourage of 10 cars hopped over to Joey’s house for the customary invitation of the Bride to the Groom’s house ceremony and of course to take some video of the games they play at her house before my son is allowed to enter the bride’s home), Chandra did his part of the role admirably but apparently the time & toll drained him so much as he was out drinking the night before that he fell asleep in my bed after all was said and done in the middle of texting his friends!











The family union and wonderful occasion was made more beautiful with the attendance of my sittapa (uncle from fathers side who is the last remaining relative from my dad’s extended relations) who came with his wife (our lovely cinnama) all the way from S’pore and all my brothers and sisters from Penang, Ipoh, Port Kelang, Kuala Lumpur & Seremban and their children and the children’s children! It was a family re-union that made all of us very happy and thankful indeed!






































Joey, as your newly installed father –in –law, I pray that the love, comfort and happiness we saw between you and Utheya on your wedding day continue to grow stronger every day for the rest of your lives together and that your children all grow up and bless you and utheya with a wonderful 60th wedding anniversary  !

What is a 'HINDU' ?

In 1995, Chief Justice P. B. Gajendragadkarwas quoted in anIndian Supreme Court ruling:

When we think of the Hindu religion, unlike other religions in the world, the Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one god; it does not subscribe to any one dogma; it does not believe in any one philosophic concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion orcreed. It may broadly be described as away of life and nothing more.

Common Misunderstandings on Hinduism

Vedanta (and all Hinduism) is entirely monistic, believing only in the all-pervading world-soul, Brahman, rather than a personal God

This advaita philosophy is certainly popular, and offers a simple explanation of the many deities. Nonetheless, many theologians have considered God to be a person. He is not merely an anthropomorphic representation, nor are the various deities and murtis simply incarnations or representations of an impersonal Supreme.

Thus Hinduism includes both monism and monotheism. It is misleading to call the Abrahamic religions,"the monotheistic traditions," implying that monotheism is absent from the Eastern traditions. Vedanta includes many monotheistic schools. They may accept the existence of many gods and goddesses, but strongly emphasizes the pre-eminence of the Supreme Deity.
