Friends Yesterday I said : "Coming days we will try to discuss another 5 subjects, not necessarily in this order : 1) Judicial Delays 2) Corruption 3) Politics in ICU as V C it 4) Irreverent Protests and relevance of shock treatments 5) World is safe for next 100 years" Today we cover Judicial delays and related issues. M G Warrier Delayed Justice = Denied Justice A Crime & Punishment Times of India feature headline : "699 death sentences in 5 years. Why SC confirmed only 2" Perhaps a review of the timeframe, levels of decision making and professional competence of bench and bar is overdue. B Fast-track justice Fast-track justice? The judiciary needs to do more https://share.google/EqVQKuMl15EXCxDFy Excerpts : "In the absence of a will to administer law in a fair and reasonable way, guidelines from the government and rulings from courts will have limited potency. This ‘will’ should come as a credible message from the highest level. It will be ...

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, September, 2026 Part IX Friends This is the fifth and last jewel from Mahabharatham we took up for introduction last week. As Gita doesn't need an introduction, I took up last and avoided adding my own elucidation. Those who have had no opportunity to read Dr S Radhakrishnan's well-researched book "The Bhagavad Gita" (First published by George Allen & Unwin, UK, 1948) may kindly read at least the 86 page Introductory Essay in the book. Let me quote two sentences from the essay : "It is argued that the teacher, Krsna, could not have recited the seven hundred verses to Arjuna on the battlefield. He must have a few pointed things which were later elaborated by the narrator into an elaborate work..." Many such common doubts are answered by different commentators. Researches will continue. Coming days we will try to discuss another 5 subjects, not necessarily in this order : 1) Judicial Delays 2) Corru...

Happy to share the joy that many readers are responding positively to my daily messages. Due to time and space constraints finding it difficult to share even the most relevant and insightful responses with you. Copying below just one which I received yesterday from my friend Shri Unnikrishnan Nambiar, Ex-SBl : "I have been an ardent reader of your daily messages. Wish to acknowledge, appreciate and admire the interesting, informative and insightful articles, reproductions, quotes and titbits you present every day and wonder how much efforts and pains it would have taken. While I would have liked to respond everyday, fearing the boredom it may bring, am abstaining. All the same, please know that your everyday efforts are sincerely appreciated. 👏🙂" Those who have missed any message, kindly access from www.warriersblog.com Tomorrow we will conclude the discussion on Five Jewels of Mahabharata with a short note on Bhagavad Gita. M G Warrier Anusmriti Anusmriti is a sa...

Bheeshma Stava Raj After the Kurukshetra war, Bhishmapitamaha was lying on the Sharashayya (Bed of Arrows) exercising his option for "Ittcha Mrityu" (Death at will) and some more days were remaining for the appointed day of death when Pandavas under the leadership of eldest brother Yudhishtira arrived before him as advised by Krishna. The purpose of the visit was receiving the knowledge about Dharma and related subjects of governance and righteous life from Bhishma before his passing away. One of the several capsules of wisdom, this hymn is recited by Bhishma apparently to praise Krishna, but content goes beyond praise and is pregnant with the perception of Vishnu as the Universal Soul : Bhishma Stavaraja Stotram The Bhishma Stavaraja Stotram is a profound and sacred hymn from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, recited by Grandfather Bhishma to praise Lord Krishna. Context and Originx Source: Found in the Mahabharata (frequently associated with the Shanti/Anushasan Parva or para...

Friends From today*, five days we will briefly revisit five Stotras/stories from Mahabharata. They are : 1) Gajendra Moksha 2) Vishnu Sahasranamam 3) Bhagavad Gita 4) Anusmriti 5) Bhishma Stava Raj Incidentally, the fertile imagination of story tellers in Indian Mythology had reached a much higher level than the present AI can think of : Just by a curse, a Gandharva becomes an elephant, the elephant survives for a thousand years (in Mythology, this is an infinite period) and when cut into two pieces, for a moment gets back the original Gandharva body... Miracles can happen...Let's wait... M G Warrier *By oversight, this was not posted on Wednesday. Gajendra Moksha Stotra The Gajendra Stuti (or Gajendra Moksha Stotram) consists of profound, philosophical verses where Gajendra praises the formless, infinite, and supreme nature of Lord Vishnu. Key Verses and Meaning The Ultimate Source : Gajendra begins by addressing the Supreme Being as the primeval cause of the universe—t...

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, September, 2026 Part VIII Friends For me, Vishnu Sahasranamam is a familiar hymn since 1952. That year I was admitted to Class V in Kadathanad Raja's High School, Purameri from where I passed SSLC in 1959. My stay during 1952-59 was inside the Udayapuram Shiva Temple where my father was the Pujari. Everyday, my father used to recite Vishnu Sahasranamam for the benefit of two Royal Families. He used to allow me to accompany him for listening to the recital to either or both the royal residences. Though the practice continued for 7 years, I didn't get the Stotra byheart. Even today, I depend on the book for recalling stanzas from the hymn.
