A Village that Loves Bats Than Crackers

A village in South India is celebrating festivals without any bursting noise, just for the sake of bats. They are following this eco-loving principle for the past five generations, more than hundred years. As usual this year also they celebrated Diwali yesterday without any cracker noise.

Diwali in India means crackers and fireworks. The first thing that comes to the mind about Indian Diwali is the cracker noise that even tears the eardrum. There is no festival without cracker noise. But just for the sake of safeguarding bats which live on their village trees, people of Kazhuperumbakkam in South India never allow any bursting noise in their village. Not only for Diwali but also for other festive occasions and functions they are more concerned about these bats than enjoying crackers.

Diwali, the Indian Easter

Today is Diwali. Diwali means 'row of lights'. When I wrote in another site last year that the Indian festival Diwali is Indian Easter, I had an attacking mail saying that Diwali, the Hindu festival, should not be compared to Easter the Christian festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is too unfortunate that she could not tolerate the main theme of both of these festivals. Both celebrate the victory of good destroying evil.

Diwali and Easter

Diwali is the Festival of Lights celebrated by the Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists in India as well as in other countries. It commemorates the triumph over the evil which is honored by decoration of lights. Easter is celebrated by the Christians all over he world, commemorating the victory of Jesus over sin and death. The Paschal candle and the candle processions declare that Christ is the Light of the World. New fire and light are created in the beginning of the liturgy on the Paschal Vigil.

Go Green with the Golden Lights of Diwali

Deepavali means the ‘festival of lights’. It is an occasion to caste away all kinds of darkness from the world. It is an occasion of remembrance, feasts, fireworks, forgiveness, friendship and renewal of life.

A new life emerges with the flashing of silks, with decorated boxes of sweets and fruits and with the streaking of the sky with silver and golden fireworks. It is a rebirth into a sweet and sharing life. It is a time of getting together with family and friends.

Mother Mary, Help Us in Finding Jesus

O Mary, Mother of Jesus, I say that I am a Christian. I say that I follow Christ and his commandments. But, in fact, I have lost him somewhere. I do not know where I lost him and how I lost him. But one thing is certain that somehow I have lost him. I am groping in the darkness of sin without him, the eternal light who told, “I am the Light.”(John 8:12)

How have I lost Jesus?

The answer to this question is not known to me. So also I am sure many Christians have lost Jesus. The Christian life that we lead is only some liturgical rituals and observations. Jesus Christ is not in most of our lives. We just praise with our lips. Our minds are carried away by worries and other selfish thoughts. We are always scared of out tomorrows. Our love towards our neighbor is profit-motivated. We always calculate what will be the share of gain. We seek for the Glorious Jesus and never a Jesus with Crucifix.

An Apple A Day Causes Tooth Decay

There has been a saying about apple. "An apple a day keeps doctor away." It is not cent percent true in modern lifestyle. Slow eating of apple causes tooth decay and force you to the dentist
The nursery rhyme that tells the importance of eating apple, “Apple a day keeps doctor away,” has become a question mark today. Recent researches state that eating apple affects the teeth and you will have to visit the dentist frequently.

How can apple cause tooth damage?
There is nothing wrong either in the rhyme or in the truth that apple is a nutritious fruit. Apple is, of course, a good addition to any meal. It contains anti-oxidants and other nutrients for building up strength and immunity. But the way you eat it affects the dental system. A research study was performed by Dr David Bartlett, head of prosthodontics at King's College London Dental Institute. They studied in various angles about apple causing tooth decay. Their studies revealed that the trouble is with the way we eat the apple and not with apple. Daily Mail quoted the words of Dr. Bartlett saying, “Doctors quite rightly say that eating apples is good, but if you eat them slowly the high acidity levels can damage your teeth.”

"I should finish my Holy Dip in the Holy Ganges before the eclipse ends," murmuring these words to himself the village cobbler Adarsh was rushing to the holy river.

He was the cobbler of the village Aranyapur which was five miles away from the banks of the River Ganges. He was in a hurry to go as the people on their way to the Ganges may need him at any time. He was very faithful to Goddess Ganges and used to do all rituals to worship her at home. On important occasions like this he would go to the river and make the holy dip.
