Celebrating Dora's 70TH Birthday



My wife and I were recently invited to celebrate the 70th Birthday of Mdm.Dora here in Bukit Beruang,Melaka.


How time flies when you're having fun! 
I still remember well Dora from the late 1980's when she was helping Sandra man the Cashier counter in the short lived Indian Restaurant Sandra managed- (Shubnaam, which was the first classy North Indian Restaurant in Melaka Raya).
                                                                                                                                                                    
 Dry roasted walnuts as appetizers                                                      Lemon Chicken as starters


Dora is often away nowdays taking care of her grand children in S'pore and it is indeed 
a pleasure to see and help her celebrate this milestone in her life.

After the restaurant closed, Dora kept popping unto our lives whenever Sandra brought her along during our social do's and celebrations. Her pleasant company was also enjoyed when we visited Japan in the summer of 2010.

And here we are today, where we find ourselves well into the second half of the year,  in the first 11 years after breaking happily past the the 21st century; celebrating the 70th birthday of Sandra's half sister Dora and the recapping the many milestones we have passed together with these two sisters, who are now indeed part of our extended Family  .

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.
