Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, April 20, 2025 Friends Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday during the week ending Saturday April 26, 2025. Social media sources are overflowing with advice and suggestions about how you should live your life ❤️. I'm aware of the futility of adding to that by sharing links like the one below at A. In a way, as I said recently, many of us keep our thoughts to ourselves 🙏. We need not research for text book solutions to all our problems. But there is a need to interact and share. We may not be able to follow scriptures the way earlier generations did. But, by sharing thoughts, some new doors may open.

The Cross : A Powerful Symbol Of Forgiveness Good Friday today. Every Easter Season, we reinforce the memories of Jesus and remember his message. The Times of India article (Speaking Tree, April 18, 2025) focus on the relevance of forgiveness in life. My view is : We should forgive ourselves first. Yes, many of us carry a baggage of regrets and pains from the past, which are irrelevant today. Why not leave them in the first dustbin we see on the way? You will feel much lighter after that, even if you are overweight! Revenge and forgiveness are two sides of the same coin. Till my early seventies I was more revengeful in my thoughts. In some cases I was waiting for an opportunity. Opportunities came. By that time I realised that my target individuals had become frail and weak and no strength left in them to accept the punishment.

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, April 13, 2025 Friends I was in Kerala from April 2 to 9, 2025. Visited some relatives and friends in Thiruvananthapuram and Thrissur and attended a wedding on Sunday, April 6, 2025. Tried to meet maximum number of friends and relatives in the available time. At the wedding we attended, I interacted with 3 guests who were 92 plus. None of them were complaining about their own health issues or corruption in government. Their approach to life had changed. They were more practical and happy and contented. We need not wait to reach 90 plus for that changeover. The world outside is different from what we guess, reading WhatsApp messages and watching Media's "Vruthaakandhakshobham" (word borrowed from Shankaracharya). Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday during this week. Nice Day M G Warrier A Hanuman Jayanti on April 12, 2025 Those who have time and patience, please read Swami Swaroopananda's write up @ Speak...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Thursday, March 27, 2025 Friends As a child, I have watched my grandmother going to a page at random in her prized possession of "Bhagavatam" and reading two lines from the top of the left hand side page that opens, before going to the page where she has kept the marker. Today, before I took up my usual routine reading, I remembered her and opened the pocket edition of Bhagavad Gita and believe me, the right hand page I got was the beginning of Chapter 10 (VibhootiYogah). For the first time, I read the Chapter which has 42 Stanzas, in one sitting. No big deal, you may think. But, I have been always getting more and more impressed by the Jagad Guru's qualities as a teacher. For his Mom, he just opened his mouth to show the Universe, he made his devotee in Guruvayoor (Melpathur) recite "Agre Pashyami..." once he was able to feel His presence and the less intelligent Warrior and Comrade who happened to be related to ...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, March 23, 2025 UPODGHATHAM : Poothappattu* https://youtu.be/NgJttQYvQRI?si=Ckld8-aZbb_-HVHS "Stage presentation of Edasseri's Malayalam Poem Friends Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday during the week ending Saturday, March 29, 2025. M G Warrier Collage Editorial My message to my friends and relatives have gone through several experiments since 2009 when my daughter Reshmy helped me to start a blog. Now www.warriersblog.com which has since crossed few lakhs views (In 2009 there was only one post at my Blog. Sharing the information for beginners in communication) Today's Collage is focused on poetry through three generations. Starting with Edasserikkavitha. I tried to understand more about Edasseri after observing my RBI colleague and friend Edasseri Madhavan. I learnt more about detachment and focussing on own affairs from him. I was a multi-focussed, diverse person partly owing to circumstances. Opportu...

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Holi, March 14, 2025 HAPPY HOLI Friends Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday during the week ending Saturday, March 21, 2025. M G Warrier A Cover Story : Significance of Holi https://youtu.be/NSHHIqJ7OTk?si=JuakxrsNEmFDJ7o8 B Who Wrote Mahabharata? https://www.ganapatibappa.com/vyasa-mahabharata-story-written-by-ganapati-bappa/ This is an interesting illustrative story worth pondering over. Remembered today in a different context. I am amazed to think about the interconnection of mythological tales. The pencil used by Ganapathy to write Mahabharata dictated by Vyasa. Thereafter the character has only one dantha left (to be known as ekadanta). Poor Ganapathy had earlier undergone a head transplant surgery successfully carried out by his mother Parvathy. That's another story. C Collage in Classroom Science Behind Holi https://ncsm.gov.in/resources/blog/science-behind-holi-the-festival-of-colours Holi, the festiva...
