Jallikattu and the Ignorant BAN

Are we going to preserve some of our residual traditional sports or abandon them?

Firstly, even before entering into this topic or speaking briefly, do we all know why #Jallikattu is practiced; it is definitely not an entertainment or time passing sport. But, it is endorsement sport which has been followed from our Sangam Era literature about years ago.

Not all bulls are selected; the ones reared for #Jallikattu are selected on their boldness and agility. Once they are being selected, they undergo all the proper procedures and then allowed to perform on Jallikattu.

To know in brief on why this event is being practiced:  The stud bulls are the ones reared for #Jallikattu. And the ones that perform and win during Jallikattu are in much demand for want in servicing the cows of the village. #Jallikattu is a platform to exhibit the performance of the bulls. And the ones that are agile are preferred by the farmers.

To detail the chart, if flows as, Jallikattu happens first,  followed by Sandhais (i.e. Marker –selling of the cattle) and then the main farming season starts. Hope you understand here, the spectators seeing the bulls performing on Jallikattu seek the ones they need. It can be for various purposes like, mating, used as draught animals in transport/farming etc. Many of us are unaware that each and every species has unique characteristics, behavior and differ from each other.

To our note,

With the growing older population of our farmers, we certainly need young people to concentrate on agriculture. While most youth considers agriculture to be an image problem, non-attractive route of employment and a back-breaking labor.

 So with these types of events, we can capture their attention and try our best to escort them into the path to agriculture. We have to be the initiatives for our younger generation and establish them in order to strengthen our food network. Here it can be understood as selfishness too, but it’s the reality.

For sure, our youngsters are with full of brains. So, brains combined with labor can reach heights. We as humans should always have to strive for our food and environment.

Even though we aren’t able to diversify our agrarian economy, it is better that if we support the still going on practices and encourage them for doing so.

This encouragement is definitely not for the farmers or their generations to come, but it is for our own food day and after tomorrow.

Now thinking out of the world (It can also be funny J 

We all know that we use the native livestock for various purposes. On doing their routine the cattle get bored. So, like you and me having physical education, yoga or any other extra class in our educational system, Jallikattu is a relaxation ground for the #bull to play its part.

Moreover, nothing is going to happen to a bull whose app weight (500 to 1,000 kilograms) is being embraced by a man (weight app 100 kg). (to note, I’m putting it clear, this sport is just to embrace the hump of the bull long enough to grab the money bag without getting hit.)

Tips to the people who oppose Jallikattu:

You know something. (Continue: People whose occupation is agriculture are prone to be badly injured and killed by bulls. Bulls are among the dangerous animals. We all know that our farmers need these animals for cultivation. And these deaths occur while taking care of the bulls. From this, we understand that not only caring, but “Be Aware with Care” is needed and can only be practiced by Jallikattu.

For the people who still wanted to ban this event, Jallikattu and not satisfied with the above said. I would like you to first ban on breeding and killing of animals for their flesh and then ban on this sport.

I want to close the topic with the note,

Do you know, a recent investigation arrived at the conclusion that in 10 years Indian cows will cease to exist and we will be in a condition to import milk.

 If still our insights aren’t clear, then surely we will one day lose our agrarian economy and our favorite Dairy products. Thank you.

Demonetisation and the day-to-day lives

The promise given by most of the (why not? all) all the political parties to the people is "We will strive to increase the cash flow". But now, the declaration made by the party of the ruling Government is in contrast and recorded as ‘CASHFREE INDIA.’

The Ministry of finance determined that the abundant cash flow should be available only at banks. The money obtained through bribery, counterfeit money and black money are playing the major role in the country’s economy and other violent activities. Apparently, it appeared to people like there were two Governments ruling our country. The former was the Government selected by the people and run by the people and the later by the greedy people who had bountiful money in their hands and dominating the empire covertly by improper ways.

The abundant cash flow that should be available in the banks were found concealed with the anti-social elements and the newly-turned riches misusing.  This made them act a in a way as though they conduct a separate Government and gave them the power to conclude the ruling party.

Such atrocious state is changing by the action Plan taken by the Government of India. Government hauled those having tainted money into the investigation circle. This move by the Central Government choked the ones who acted as the secondary Government. They struggled hard to retain their supremacy.

Yes, now the cash flow in banks is found abundantly than ever before. This doesn’t mean that the entire country welcomes this plan. As we all know and couldn’t deny that there are benefits as well as hindrances caused by this program. However, in order to succeed in anything we need to undergo some inconvenience too. Hope our struggles and endeavors bring glory to our country.

Our country has been infected by the disease called tainted money and the medicine curable for any disease will always be bitter. Despite of the joy of getting rid of the disease, we are everyday exhausted standing in for long hours before the banks, ATM’s wanting money even for emergency expenses. Moreover, we rage as we need to beg before the bank premises for our own hard-earned money.

Even though we have cut off the purchases on unwanted commodities as-of-now due to the retrenchment of the money flow, it has caused a state where we are striving with no money(petty cash) even for daily basic expenses. For this, our Government has developed the initiative program called Digital transaction. Despite the benefits of this digital transaction, there are some discomforts sticking to it.

Let's progress...:)

Peacock Visit for lord Hanuman Darshan, Devotees delight!

In a Hanuman temple at Kanjappalli in Coimbatore district near Annur an incident worthy of attention happened on Hanuman Jayanthi. This is 300 years old Veera Anjeneya temple.

First of all, this month Margazhi is considered to be a very auspicious month for Hindu religious Worship. This month of Margazhi is additionally blessed since Hanumath Jayanthi falls in this month (It was on 28th Dec). He is an avid devotee of Lord Rama and is said to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva. Hanuman, the son of Anjana and Kesari blessed with distinctive powers. Therefore, he is significant in the Hindu epic Ramayana. Hanuman is the bravest, strongest and intelligent of all. Here in India, kids are usually inspired by Hanuman as their parents or grandparents tell them these stories.

Hanuman was also praised as “Sollin Selvar’ in Tamil, for his quick-witted speech.

Some of his other names include, Anjeneya, Kesari Nandan, Anjanai Mainthan, and Vyuputra.

Even though he was so dearest and deepest to Lord Rama, he denied accompanying Rama to Vaikumdam (the Place of not Hindrance). He insisted on wanting to always hear Rama’s mantra chant.  It is said that whenever someone talks about Ramayana or chant on Rama (Sri Ram), Hanuman dwells there.

Now coming back to the occurrence at Kanjappalli. On 28-12-2016, as the pooja celebrations were going on to Lord Hanuman, a peacock flew into the gathering. And, it was watching the complete abishekam going on to Lord Hanuman with milk, yogurt, tender coconut, turmeric and sandalwood. The complete scene was as though the peacock had come all the way to watch the abishekam and get Hanuman’s blessings. This phenomenon exhilarated the entire crowd who gathered for Hanuman’s darshan at the temple.

Now, we all are unsure about a peacock visit at the Hanuman temple on his birthday:

I would like to connect this to a small tale in Ramayana. Peacock feather was first used by Lord Sri Ram during his visit to Janakpur which was the capital of Ancient Mithila.  Once, Lord Sri Ram with Lakshman went to the Janakpur garden to collect some flowers and offer them to their Guru Vishwamitra Muni.  The gardener was so astonished to see such charming and elegance of Lord Rama that he immediately offered peacock feathers fastened together as a bunch to the lord’s Crown. Maa Sita happened to see Lord Rama in her Garden with the bunch of peacock feathers on his crown. Sita was infatuated to watch Rama with the peacock feathers and after their wedding Sita said Rama that she wanted to see him always with peacock feathers in his crown. Lord Rama said Sita that it is not correct to always pluck peacock feathers which made Sita unhappy. To comfort Sita, Lord Rama has given word to Sita that he would always be with peacock feathers on his head from his next Avatar as Lord Sri Krishna.

I hope you now understand the connection of this tale to our above incident.
