Happy is the day!
The flowers in our (potted) garden in the new house in Malacca circa 2020 ♥️


I like it here in the new house. 

The air is uplifting with the smell of fresh sunlight. 

The flowers on the wayfair and streets leading to this commune can be seen blooming on a score of rolling mounds red at their tops with autumn flame and yellow carnage. 
Birds of different feathers are flitting through, chirping, quarelling, dancing as the winds blowing strong push them along and the sun plays peek a boo with the rolling billowy clouds daily.



Across the city, in kota laksamana areas, i witnessed during the small hours of the morning, wisps of sea fog stealing in stealthily; breathing of clouds of rain and of muddy waters from some distance shore. 

I think to myself, as the afternoon sun smoulders in the drowsy lazy, hazy looking sky- Grateful am I. 

I , who have learnt to appreciate everything around me that too often I take for granted.

Malacca makes me glad I am alive.













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.
