sincerity
'To thine own self be true,and it must follow as the night the day,thou canst never be false to any man' King Lear.Shakespeare
To be sincere requires tremendous courage and determination'.One has to devote every moment thinking of the aim,one has decided to pursue.There will be setbacks as in any endeavour but one has to remain firm and never give up.To be sincere,one has to be absolutely open and forthright and never conceal anything from anyone.In the present times,sincerity is uncommon and not considered important and only achieving fame and material success are the present day deities.Idealists and dreamers are shunned and ridiculed by people.People must realize that without ideals,there can be no progress and civilization will perish.'Where the idealist abounds,the practical person also can achieve significant goals'.
'The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams'Eleanor Roosevelt.One has to be prepard to take infinite pains to achieve the purpose one has chosen.Even though circumstances may appear adverse and unfavourable,it is important to keep moving in the right direction.
'To speak the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act'.George Orwell.'Satyam,Shivam,Sundaram' have been the polestars of the Indian culture and have distinguished India from other countries.Since ancient times,the Indian people gave more importance to values,education,culture and aesthetics rather than to being wealthy and sussesful.Vishwamitra,Vashisht,Gargi,Maitreyi,Buddha,Mahavir,Gurunanak,Kabir,Thiruvallar,meerabai,Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram are still household names in India.
If India is to take its rightful place in the world,it has to revive the ancient spirit because Indian culture has the solutions to the problems perplexing humanity today.

happy deepavali
The Ramayana has had a tremendous influence on the Indian psyche for the past 5000 years.Attributed to Valmiki,a rishi,it symbolises the triumph of good over evil.
Rama is supposed to be an incarnation of lord Vishnu and is born to kill the demon king Ravana.
Dashratha,the ruler of Ayodhya has three wives,Kaushalya,Kaikeyi and Sumitra.He is a righteous, benevolent and kind ruler who is deeply respected by his subjects. Rama is the eldest son and child of Kaushalya,Bharata is the son of Kaikeyi and Laxman and Shatrughna are the children of Sumitra. Dashratha sends all his children to Rishi Vishwamitra where they receive instructions in warfare and statecraft.
Rama then wins the hand of Sita,the daughter of Janaka,king of Mithila,by winning an archery contest defeating all the rivals.
Being the eldest son,he is the natural heir to the throne of Ayodhya but destiny intervenes and he is forced to go into exile with Sita and Laxman. In the forest Sita is kidnapped by Ravana and taken to Lanka.Rama and Laxman then organise an army of monkeys and bears to rescue Sita. Hanuman,the monkey king,is totally loyal to Rama and even burns down Lanka when he is asked by Rama to find out the well-being of Sita.
Ravana's brother Vibhishan joins hands with Rama and in the ensuing battle Ravana is killed by Rama and both Rama and Sita return to Ayodhya with Rama being proclaimed king.
Diwali,the festival of lights is celebrated all over India to commemorate the return of Rama to Ayodhya.It is celebrated by all Indians irrespective of faith,region or language.
