Religion not ritual bound



Religion grew into spiritual,
From where it branched to be ritual
And is identified by its rituals
With rites, custom, costumes and assemblies.

Religion exists by a focus
On scriptures, faith, practises and god-men.
Shrines, organization, men and money
Have become components of religion.

Anything institutional is political.
Religions are necessarily political
Internally as well as externally.
Rivalry is the spirit of its growth

Religion bids man not to commit sins.
Religion bids man to love and respect.
A moral fear is inducted to him.
Fear of God is inculcated in him.

Religion per se is more than its scriptures.
It brings people of a faith together.
It provides solace to suffering souls.
Prayer is a sublimation of wants.

It’s time religion confined to scriptures
Suspend identity of religious signs
Discard the outdoor religious festive.
Be national rather than religious.

Name goes from the body

The first thing to go from you is your name. You will be called the body by your kin. Disposal will become the main concern. You will be removed from the house you built. The clothes and things you used are thrown away. The valuables are shared and taken away. You are replaced with no remorse attached. A fallen leaf, you are soon forgotten. What will happen to those you’d endeared? What is the fate to the things you’d nurtured? How will fare your descendants in struggles? You are destined not to know the future. You will not know about your biography. You will not recall the moments of pride. You will not know how you’re branded about. You don’t know that you have ever existed. I don’t think it’s applicable to me. 21.10.2019

Law is misused.

Laws are misused by one’s intelligence. The harm they do when misused must weigh more Than the good they do otherwise, in the mind Of law makers to spare the innocents. 19.11.2019

Keelady Civilization.

The Tamil Sangam Era was confined To literature and poetry available. Keelady is the archaeological evidences Of the civilization of that period. Sangam Era and Megalithic era Are related and must be viewed together. Brick layers, structured townships with  paved roads Must relate to the Harappa culture. The life style of  the folks spoken about In  the Sangam era  isn’t hypothetical, At the light of the excavation carried At Keelady in the Southern Tamilnadu. The Indus Valley Civilization Is not different from Keelady  findings It shows the evolution of the old script To graffitist and Tamil brahm The province where Keelady was open Must have got a civilization Where the people were literate, affluent And more advanced in around 300 BC 14.10.2019i.
