Relevance of Social Capital: M G Warrier https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/readersblog/warriersviews/relevance-of-social-capital-28490/ Prompted by a response from D Subbarao. He said: “Your energy and enthusiasm in engaging in contemporary issues are really impressive. It is efforts like this that build social capital” This inspired me to try and understand more about social capital. Sharing the results here to know more.

"Sri Dakshinamurthy is not only worshiped as the First Guru, but also as the One, who teaches everyone through the medium of innumerable number of human Gurus." Sri Dakshinamurthy as Ishwara Ishwara means “Lord/Controller”. Taittiriya Upanishad (3.1) describes Brahman as: “Know that as Brahman, from which all the creatures are born, being born by which they sustain and into which they merge back.” Isha Upanishad (Verse 1) says that Ishwara inhabits each and every object of the Universe. In Verse 8 it says, Lord pervades the Universe and controls the Universe by allotting to each object its duties. Sri Dakshinamurthy represents this Brahman, who as Ishwara creates, sustains, and destroys the Universe."

Welcome to Warrier's Daily COLLAGE December 18, 2020 Friday Interview https://youtu.be/65r3kRNiS5o (Justice V R Krishna Iyer ) Good Morning "Your energy and enthusiasm in engaging in contemporary issues is really impressive. It is efforts like this that build social capital." Quoted above is an excerpt from D Subbarao's message. Shared this here because, though this daily message still retains the title "Warrier's Collage", it's you who are deciding its daily Menu by sharing ideas and contributing write-ups. My role is very limited. For example, today's theme originated from submitted version of a Hindu article received from V R Chittanandam.
