Pre and Post Deepavali Celebrations


We Celebrated mother-in law Magdeline's 62th Birthday @ Malacca Club this year with dinner for all. Mummy's birthday was supposed to be celebrated a couple of days earlier but I was down with a bad case of Hernia that week and was followed by another bad round of fever and flu a couple of days later which lasted an entire week.....
Michelle stayed back that night at the Club as she had invited Pyrelal and Sandra over for drinks at the Bar. I was instructed to send the kids, Doreen and mummy home while she remained. I took the opportunity to get a quick shut eye at home as my head was giddy with the cough syrup I consumed earlier.About 2 hours later, I returned to the Bar to join them and pick her up and saw that Pyrelal's wife and brother was also there joining in on the evening's festivities. We chatted for a little while before calling it a night at 1am.



The camera seemed to have something faulty with it's picture clarity as the pictures seemed very out of focus even on the auto setting. I believe the lens must have got wet recently as these days the rain is coming down hard almost daily and for hours on end compared to previous years.






Post Deepavali this year which we spent in KL & Ipoh and Klang, Malini and Mala drove down to Melaka for the weekend and we brought over everyone to Utheya's House for their first visit there. Sanjeevan seemed to have taken a shine to Nicole as he was molly coddling her the entire visit !
Joey 's mum had informed us that the second baby is due to be delivered on the 8th of December this year which is just a few weeks away......
And so, very soon another baby girl will be welcomed into the 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.
