Phuket trip 2018









































































Tuesday, December 4, 2018

 Mummy was hospitalised last week for 6 days due to Chronic wheezing which lead Doctors to diagnose a faulty Heart beat , Asthma & a need to take Warfarin (which is a severe type of Blood Thinner with many diet restrictions)
After discussing with both Mala and malini , we decided to inform the doctors not to put her on Warfarin as it would reduce her ability to enjoy food .......which is the only thing apart from touch that she can still enjoy.





 Malini took leave from her busy schedule ( her daughter Niva is going through SPM now) to help us take care of Mummy after her discharge. She has been here for past 4 days and is going home today but will be replaced by Mala who will visit mummy for next 4 days.

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.
