Teachers' Day : Krishna As Jagat Guru

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, September, 2026 Part II Teachers' Day, 2026 Good Morning Happy Teacher's Day I've been enjoying student life, post-retirement (I retired on September 30, 2003 after serving different organisations for 40 years from age 19). I have found Krishna universally recognised as Jagad Guru : Lord Krishna is revered in Hindu tradition as Jagatguru or the ultimate teacher of the universe, and the title "Vishwa Guru" has also been prominently associated with ISKCON founder A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada as an extension of Krishna's divine will. Lord Krishna as Jagatguru Teacher of All Teachers: Lord Krishna is traditionally viewed as the supreme guru who delivered the eternal wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Universal Guide: His teachings transcend a single era or region, offering guidance on duty (dharma), devotion (bhakti), and liberation (moksha) for all of humanity. S...

Ashtami Rohini : 2026

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, September, 2026 Part I Ashtami Rohini Good Morning https://youtu.be/4PlwOkBSjMQ?si=_X3vmQUknxk6LyXd The phrase "Krishn's skin tone and virtues of darkness" directly references a prominent theme published by The Times of India's Speaking Tree. The philosophy uses the literal meaning of Krishna's name and physical description to explore why humanity shuns darkness while cosmic, spiritual, and scientific laws actually celebrate it. 1. Krishna's True Skin Tone The Literal Meaning: In Sanskrit, the word Krishna translates directly to "black," "dark," or "dark blue." The Scriptural Imagery: Sacred texts like the Srimad Bhagavatam describe his complexion as Shyama-sundara—the "beautiful dark one". His skin is frequently compared to a fresh, water-laden monsoon cloud (Nava-megha) or the dark bark of the Tamal tree. The Artistic Shift: While traditional temple idols (like Ban...

Where To Stop

https://youtu.be/xcG8DEbDBNA?si=GpXIi7ftddcfLR6F Where to Stop : (Author unknown)* “Kaun Banega Crorepati"- In a recent episode, Neeraj Saxena was the fastest to answer in the "Fastest Finger" round and took the hot seat. He sat very calmly, without shouting, dancing, crying, raising his hands, or hugging Amitabh. Neeraj is a scientist, a Ph.D., and a Vice Chancellor of an University in Kolkata. He has a pleasant and simple personality. He considers himself fortunate to have worked with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and mentioned that initially, he thought only about himself, but under Kalam's influence, he began thinking about others and the nation as well. Neeraj started playing. He used the audience poll once, but since he had the "Double Dip" lifeline, he got the chance to use it again. He answered all the questions with ease, and his intelligence was impressive. He won ₹3,20,000 and an equivalent bonus amount, and then there was a break. After the b...

Fragility Of Life

Good Morning Only very recently I realised that Speaking Tree is not about spirituality or mythology or philosophy. Those who write the columns there are ordinary human beings like you and me. They may have more knowledge or a better way of expressing themselves more convincingly. But the subjects they handle are of consequence to all of us. We can easily relate the experiences they share and the stories they tell with our day to day real life experiences. These thoughts came to mind while reading this piece by a senior media professional, Sivakumar Sundaram : When a master weeps, a seeker learns - The Times of India https://share.google/u0RWgHqxYL0ATxz3s Excerpts : "I am a seeker. Like every seeker, i walk into temples of faith with folded palms and unspoken questions. We go to seek blessings, to seek protection, to offer gratitude and to seek answers to questions no human being can answer. Kailash Manasarovar is where seekers have always taken such questions. That mountain d...

Freeze The Moment & Help

Freeze The Moment & Help Manisha Koirala Appeals To India And China Amid Nepal Flash Floods: ‘We Are Facing The Brunt...’ | Bollywood News - News18 https://share.google/8Jpd2DUTsP8N7V61f Excerpts from the report : "Manisha Koirala has appealed for India, China and Nepal to work together as Nepal reels from devastating flash floods that have killed hundreds and left thousands missing. The actress, who was born in Kathmandu, also urged the international community to continue supporting the Himalayan nation while stressing that tourism must not come to a halt because of the disaster. Manisha spoke about the crisis at ‘In Solidarity with Nepal’, a special event led by spiritual leader Sadhguru on Sunday, August 30." Blame game and research can wait. The call, from whatever corner, to support the victims of the calamity, all of us need to listen. The appeal is to the responsible world leaders and their irresponsible followers who placed many of them, who are suffering fro...

Universal Oneness

When nature speaks, humanity must listen because trees and ecosystems communicate through quiet wisdom, biological signals, and interconnected roots that sustain all life on Earth. The Voice of the Speaking Tree Silent Wisdom: Trees stand through changing seasons, offering shelter, stability, and quiet lessons in resilience. Underground Networks: Forests communicate through hidden fungal networks (mycorrhizal networks) that transfer nutrients, water, and warning signals between trees. Environmental Signals: Trees register stress, drought, and damage through changes in their leaves, growth rings, and chemistry. Why Humanity Must Listen Ecosystem Balance: Ignoring the distress signals of forests leads to severe climate shifts, habitat loss, and resource depletion. Mindful Connection: Slowing down to observe nature restores human well-being and grounds us in a shared planetary community. Friends Last week I tried to draw the attention of the literate audience about the global responsi...
