விசாகா ஹரி விரும்பி இருந்தால் ஒரு சிறந்த இசைக்கலைஞர் ஆகி இருக்கலாம். அவரது ஹரிகதைகளில் ஒரு சலிப்புத் தட்டுகிறது. ஹரிகதை என்பது பாட்டிடை இட்ட உரைநடைக்கோவையாக இருக்கவேண்டும். ஆனால் விசாகாவின் ஹரிகதை உரையிடை இட்ட பாட்டுக்கச்சேரியாக அமைகிறது என்பது என் அபிப்பிராயம். கதை கால்; சங்கீதம் முக்கால்.

Our national anthem - a different view

An interesting and shocking view about our national anthem, which every one of us should know. I got this confirmed from a Bengali relative of mine
Facts about "Jana Gana Mana" - Just a thought for the National Anthem! How well do you know about it?


I have always wondered who is the "adhinayak" and "bharat bhagya vidhata", whose praise we are singing. I thought might be Motherland India! Our current National Anthem "Jana Gana Mana" is sung throughout the country.

Did you know the following about our national anthem, I didn't.

To begin with, India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honour of King George V and the Queen of England when they visited India in 1919.

To honour their visit Pandit Motilal Nehru had the five stanzas included, which are in praise of the King and Queen. (And most of us think it is in the praise of our great motherland!!!)

In the original Bengali verses only those provinces that were under British rule, i.e. Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha etc. were mentioned. None of the princely states were recognised which are integral parts of India now Kashmir, Rajasthan, Andhra, Mysore or Kerala. Neither the Indian Ocean nor the Arabian Sea was included, since they were directly under Portuguese rule at that time.

The Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka implies that King George V is the lord of the masses and Bharata Bhagya Vidhata is "the bestower of good fortune".

Following is a translation of the five stanzas that glorify the King:

First stanza: (Indian) People wake up remembering your good name and ask for your blessings and they sing your glories. (Tava shubha naame jaage;tava shubha aashish maage, gaaye tava jaya gaatha)

Second stanza: Around your throne people of all religions come and give their love and anxiously wait to hear your kind words.

Third stanza: Praise to the King for being the charioteer, for leading the ancient travellers beyond misery.

Fourth stanza: Drowned in the deep ignorance and suffering, poverty-stricken, unconscious country? Waiting for the wink of your eye and your mother's (the Queen's) true protection.

Fifth stanza: In your compassionate plans, the sleeping Bharat (India) will wake up. We bow down to your feet O' Queen, and glory to Rajeshwara (the King).

This whole poem does not indicate any love for the Motherland but depicts a bleak picture. When you sing Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, whom are you glorifying? Certainly not the Motherland. Is it God? The poem does not indicate that.

It is time now to understand the original purpose and the implication of this, rather than blindly sing as has been done the past fifty years.

Nehru chose the present national anthem as opposed to Vande Mataram because he thought that it would be easier for the band to play!!! It was an absurd reason but Today for that matter bands have advanced and they can very well play any music. So they can as well play Vande Mataram, which is a far better composition in praise of our dear Motherland India.

Wake up, it's high time! Shouldn't Vande Mataram be our National Anthem.

Timing ! How important?

Excerpted from Nature’s Inspiration

“Patience, persistence and timing reap rewards.” Margaret Woods


In the mid-seventies, I began traveling to the southwestern parts of Alaska to photograph the coastal grizzly, or Brown Bear as it is referred to in the North. The falls along the Brooks River were becoming popular as a gathering place for bears because salmon pooled there as they made their leap upstream during migration periods. In early July, the river is running full and swift. The bears position themselves on top of the falls in a current that would sweep away the strongest human, but a large bear can weigh 1500 pounds and stand nine feet tall. The mouth is fixed and the stand is made. Salmon jump to the right, to the left, and eventually right up the center. Seldom does the bear lose his catch, allowing him to gain up to 300 pounds in the summer.

Everything in his pursuit is dependent upon a single factor: timing, as are the important pursuits in all of our lives.

    Mr. Karunanidhi and Kripaananda vaariyaar


    Tamilnadu Chief Minister's speech yesterday on the occasion of release of a book written by Mr. Veerappa Moiley, Union Minister for Law was as follows: For the purpose of authenticity, I have given in Tamil as it was published in Newspapers

    நான் பள்ளி மாணவனாக இருந்த போது, திருவாரூருக்கு கிருபானந்தவாரியார் வந்திருந்தார். ‘உயிர்களை கொல்லக்கூடாது’ என்று வாரியார் பேசிக் கொண்டிருந்தார்.


    அப்போது நான் எழுந்து, ‘இந்த உபதேசம் எல்லா உயிர்களுக்கும் பொதுவானதா?’ என்று கேட்டேன். அவர் ‘ஆமாம். ஆடு, மாடு கோழிகளை எல்லாம் சாப்பிடுவதற்காக ஆண்டவன் படைக்கவில்லை’ என்றார். நான் எழுந்து, ‘சிங்கம், புலி சாப்பிடுவதற்காக ஆண்டவன் எந்த உயிரை படைத்தான்?’ என்று கேட்டேன்.

    அவ்வளவு பெரிய அவையிலே ஒரு சின்ன பையன் அப்படி கேட்டது தவறுதான். ஆனால் கேள்வியில் இருந்த தத்துவம் தவறானது அல்ல.(?) அதைப் புரிந்து கொண்ட வாரியார், ‘உட்கார் பிறகு சொல்கிறேன்’ என்று சொல்லி விட்டு தொடர்ந்து சொல்லும் போது, ‘அவர்கள் எல்லாம் வேறு ஆட்கள் என்பது எனக்கு தெரியும். அதனால்தான் நான் பதில் சொல்லவில்லை’ என்றார்.

    பின்னர் அவர் பேசுகையில், ‘தாவரங்களை சாப்பிட்டால் உயிருக்கு ஆபத்து இல்லையா என்று பையன் கேட்பான். தாவரங்களை சாப்பிடுவதால் உயிர்களுக்கு ஆபத்தில்லை. முருங்கைக்காயை சாப்பிடுவதால் மரம் சாகாது. கத்தரிக்காயை சாப்பிடுவதால் அந்த செடி சாகாது. அது பாவமில்லை’ என்றார்.

    நான் விடவில்லை. எழுந்து, ‘அய்யா, கீரைத் தண்டை பிடுங்கி சாப்பிடுகிறார்களே; அது முழுவதும் சாகவில்லையா?’ என்று கேட்டேன். எல்லோரும் கைத்தட்டினார்கள். இருந்தாலும் அந்த பெரியவர் மீது வைத்திருந்த மரியாதையை இன்றளவும் இழக்காமல் மாற்றிக் கொள்ளாமல் இருந்து வருகிறேன்.

    ஏன் இவற்றை சொல்கிறேன் என்றால் இளமையிலேயே ஊறிய பகுத்தறிவு, (?)அதன் காரணமாக எழுகிற கேள்விகள் அந்தக் கேள்விகள் ராமாயணத்தைப் பற்றியும் வந்திருக்குமேயானால் வீரப்ப மொய்லி பொறுத்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும். “இந்த நூலில் பெண்ணுரிமை கருத்துகளை, ஏழை எளிய மக்கள் வாழ்வில் இருக்கும் கஷ்டங்களை எரிமலை போல அவர் வர்ணித்துள்ளார். அதற்காக நான் அவரை பாராட்டுகிறேன்'' முதலமை‌ச்ச‌ர் கருணாநிதி பேசினார்.
    (italics in this speech are mine.)



    I am translating this nonsensical speech, for the benefit of those who cannot read Tamil.

    When I was a student, Kripaananda vaariyaar came to Thiruvarur. Vaariyaar was speaking " Should not kill living beings"

    At that time I got up and asked "Will this preaching apply to all living beings?"

    He said, "Yes. God has not created goats, cows and chickens for eating purpose."

    I got up and asked " Which living beings are created by God for Lions and tigers to eat?"

    It might have been wrong for a small boy to ask such questions in such a big audience. But there was nothing wrong in the principle/property of this question.(?)

    Vaariyaar who understood this ( the brilliance(!)) said, "Sit down. I will tell you later." but continued, " I know these people are different. That is why I did not reply."

    Then when he was speaking, he said,"the boy asked, Is there no danger for life if you eat vegetables. There is no danger for life if you eat vegetables, By eating drum stick, the tree won't die. By eating brinjal that plant will not die. There is no sin in it."

    I did not leave at it. Again got up and said," Ayya. the stalk of greens are plucked with roots for eating. Is it not sin?" Every body clapped.

    Dear friends !

    What an absurd statement and lie it could be! Just imagine. Vaariyaar says "do not kill living beings?" What is the brilliant question from Mr. Karunanidhi for it? "Whether the preaching applicable to all living beings?" Vaariyaar says, " yes. God has not created certain animals for killing and eating"

    Let us take his story as true! Vaariyaar might have said that we i.e. human beings, should not kill living being. What is wrong in that? That was his principle. The brilliant Karunanidhi immediately represents for animals like lions and tigers. Vaariyyar never said that the animals like lions and tigers should not kill other animals. He was not preaching to animals. He was preaching to human beings.

    And Mr. Karunanidhi wants us to believe that Vaariyaar did not have answer to this silly question. If I am not wrong, Vaariyaar with his versatile humour sense, might have said, " I was telling this to human beings; not for you. "

    Then Mr. Karunanidhi poses another question comparing plants to animals. If Mr.Karunanidhi did not understand even after 80 years, the scientific basics that "
    animals have a far more complex structure than a plant. We (animals) are more able to control reactions. We have more complex requirements of growth" and claiming that his questions to Vaaryaar were excellent and brilliant and he could not answer to that goes to show how ignorant he is still in certain subjects. And there is a crowd to clap for such comments.

    God save "Paguththarivu (common sense or rationality generated by Periyaar and his disciples)

    Neither I am great admirer of Kripaananda vaariyaar or against Mr. Karunanidhi, but I could not tolerate this sort of speeches by a Chief Minister who is not supposed to speak about a person who is no more to defend this statement or confirm this is true. Mr. Karunanidhi is regularly in the habit of quoting dead persons have told him this and that, of which, nobody can prove or say against.
