Morphed Last Supper Poster - Knowingly trying to create communal unrest...?

2012-02-05T23:13:00.000-08:00

The controversial and heinous poster created by Communist Party of India (Marxist), morphing the images of Lord Jesus Christ and HIS Disciples in the Last Supper Paintings, with that of some politicians was evident of its intentions- just to create communal unrest and disrupt the social harmony and thus to earn some dirty political mileage.

This act of the communists, who neither believe in God nor allow its cadres and people to believe in God should not have committed such a grave mistake. People from all walks of life keeping away their religious differences have strongly condemned this act and are planning to keep away from this dangerous party.

Being a political party that knows and understands the sentiments and feelings of the people, they have committed an act of willful blatant blasphemy for which they need to make an immediate apology.

It is good to recollect what Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha did during her previous terms election campaign. She morphed the face of Blessed Mother Vailankanni, who is revered and honored by many people across religious lines, and kept her face in some posters and banners that taught her a bitter lesson then.

Any political party or organization or groups or individuals that try to spoil the peaceful life, friendship and harmony of the people should be considered as the enemy of the country and its citizens, and should be completely isolated.

THE END TIME SIGNS... WHAT ELSE...?

The Power of praying the 'Holy Rosary' every day...!

2012-01-31T05:51:00.000-08:00

As the world is apparently in its final times..., People who receive inspiration from the Most High God to seek and get Salvation of the Lord and attain Heaven are running here and there in search of God's Free Gift of Eternal Life...!

It is a matter of great joy for people like me to see many devotees including non-Catholics, protestants and Non-Christians seeking the intervention of the Lord's Blessed Virgin Mother Mary to get Redeemed.

In this pursuit many people who used denounce in the past, the part of the Blessed Mother in the Holy act of Redemption, started accepting her part and seeking her blessings.

There are many Catholics too who did not give any importance to the special prayer 'Rosary' which is a powerful weapon against the satan and the powers of the darkness, started praying it regularly.

There are numerous Saints and Blessed people who experienced spiritual blessings in abundant, hence strongly recommend the 'Prayer of Rosary', which will CERTAINLY do Miracles in our Spiritual, Physical as well as family and individual lives.

Pray at least one Rosary a day in your family, and watch the amount of blessings it gives to all the members of the family. People who wish the conversion of sinful people (including your own family members, husbands, wives, children, parents, relatives, friends) or persecutors of the Christians or for receiving special favors can get GUARANTEED RESULTS by Praying the Holy Rosary with devotion and Belief....!

Who are the anti- Christs...? The enemies of Christ's Church...?In the Present day scenario ...!

2012-01-24T22:42:00.000-08:00

Even though the mention of the anti-Christ is made in several books and the Holy Gospels, many people even today raise a question 'Who are the enemies of The Lord' Sacred Church?' The Holy Bible categorically states verses of the Lord, "Whoever is not for Me is against Me".

According to the latest findings Christianity is the most persecuted race in the world. About 75 percent of the total number of people persecuted around the world are Christians - those who believe and follow the Lord, Jesus Christ. All those leaders and rulers of the world countries, who afflict and persecute these poor and meek community are of course, anti-Christs.

Some Religious fanatics who cannot bear the out flow of people from their Religions to the 'Life Giving Truth' of the Lord by listening to the 'Good News' get attracted and converted to Christianity. This make them violent and forces them to turn against the 'Truth' and the people who walk in that 'Path'. So they resort to destroying the 'Church' by persecuting the poor and peace-loving Christians. These people also come under the catogory of anti Christs.

But in my humble opinion, the Pastors, Priests and the Religious, who have pledged to follow the Lord and obey His Commands, forget their 'calling' and start living a life similar (and sometimes worse) to that of a pagan, leaving and abandoning the Values and Ethics of the Sacred Faith and living adversely to the Teachings of Lord Jesus Christ, and persecuting the Lord Jesus with their bad examples and lives are the Most dangerous enemies of Christ and anti-Christs.

Those Christian institutions like Churches, Hospitals, Schools, Colleges, Ministries, NGOs, that run and exist for mere worldly riches, money and power are the enemies of Christ. And all those who are responsible for such organizations and Institutions are causing to create a hatred and disgrace among the people of other communities to the Lord, His Church and His flock, and they are also horrible enemies of the Universal Church of Christ and are anti-Christs of the highest grade.

Please open your eyes and think once, how much you are damaging the Church of Christ...!

Hi, Hello, Hallow all are derived from Halleluia, Hallelujah ...!

2011-11-19T04:44:00.000-08:00

What does the word hi, hello or hallow mean is not known to many. The word used largely and extensively in the entire world as a salutation nowadays may be 'Hello' which is derived from 'hallow' which means sacred or holy. Hi is a shorter form of hello. Saintly people and monks in the past used to Praise and worship the Almighty God throughout the day and night, in every work and action. They used to utter 'Hallowed be your Name, Father' or 'God be Hallowed' while wishing others.

This word slowly developed as a word for salutation in the past centuries. Instead of saying 'Hallowed be the Lord', they slowly started saying, hallow ignoring the meaning in the phrase.

According to some other researches, the word 'Hallelujah' (Halleluia /Halleluia /Alleluia) is pronounced to say ' Praise to the Creator' or Praise to the Lord God.

The Primitive Christians right from the beginning even during the time of severe persecutions, encouraged and strengthened one another saying, 'hallelujah'. This word while served as a salutation for the co-faithful, its main aim was to praise the Lord God always...!

This sacred way of wishing one another slowly became a word used by not only Christians but also the entire world...! So one thing is imminent, knowingly or unknowingly "every tongue praises HIS Glory" in this universe....!

Here after let's say "Halleluia" while answering the phone or saluting another ... and if not, say "Hello" thinking and believing that we are saying 'Praise to the Lord, our God'

Attack on Minorities must be treated as terrorism. Justice Michael Saldanha

2011-11-16T07:25:00.000-08:00

Justice Saldanha, former Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court has lamented recently in the 'persecuted pastors/Christians' conference organized jointly by All India Christian Council (AICC) and Karnataka Missions Network (KMN) that the atrocities on the Christian Communities are increasing in some states of India, specially in Karnataka State.

He stated that the attacks and violence on Minorities should be treated as terrorist act.

All the participants denounced the statement made by Subramanyam Swamy on Christians and his efforts to sabotage the bill named 'communal violence prevention bill'. They all condemned in one voice the frequent recurrance of vandalism against Christian Institutions specially in Mangalore.

Activist Agnivesh writes to Pope to halt 'forced conversion'...

2011-11-15T05:47:00.000-08:00

Social Activist Swami Agnivesh wrote to Pope Benedict XVI asking him to impose a halt on 'forced conversion' in India. Christianity rooted in India 2000 years back. If any forced conversion to Christianity is taking place in India, what must be the percentage of christian population here?

Even after 2000 years of existence, Christian population in India is below 3% ...! Christianity took root in other countries like USA very later. What is the Christian population there??

Some people like Swami Agnivesh and Baba Ramdev enter as activists and to gain popularity, respect and support of people, they unnecessarily involve in controversies that affect the friendship and brotherhood of Christians who live amicably and peacefully in this country.

Idea Star Singer (ISS) Season 6: Ann Mary Varghese rocks the stage with her very first performance

2011-10-10T23:15:00.000-07:00

It was an amazing experience for Ann Mary Varghese yesterday, the first contestant from Idukki district for the ISS musical reality show on Asianet, one of the popular Malayalam entertainment channels. The first thirty contestants selected from thousands are making their maiden performance and Ann was awarded with very high marks at her first song itself.

When all the judges showered words of appreaciation for Ann Mary Varghese who is from Thodupuzha, and gave her good score, she was grateful to the Lord and thanked the Lord for giving this opportunity. It is worthy to mention that Ann is mended by Antony John, who was the third runner-up of ISS season 5 basing on the popular support.

"Put all your efforts in the Lord and HE will take care of everything". Anyone who wants to succeed in life must give priority to 'Fear of the Lord' and HE will guard and guide him/her...!

ISS season 5 Winners Kalpana, Immanuel Henry and Antony John 'Praise the Lord' for the miraculaous victory

2011-09-25T06:16:00.000-07:00

The results of the Idea Star Singer season 5 grand finale contest was against the expectation an prediction of some viewers, but it was a miracle of God, Who chose the winners directly through the judges.

Even the judges never expected that Kalpana would be the winner and Emmanuel and Antony would be the 2nd and 3rd runners up.

God was greatly glorified when these three publicly proclaimed their trust in the Miraculous Hands of the Most High Lord Jesus Christ, saying 'Praise to the Lord'

May God bless abundantly all ... who won and lost and grant them bright futures...!

May all who trust in their ability learn that putting their trust in the Lord is always better ...!

Viswasichalum Illenkilum (Believe it or Not) dated 15th September, 2011

2011-09-16T06:13:00.000-07:00

Yesterday's (15-09-2011) 'believe it or not' on Asianet Malayalam channel telecast a miracle happening at a Christian Chapel (Kurisu Palli) in Mavur road in Kozhikode of Kerala. Every Fridays people of different Religions and Faith crowd there which causes even huge traffic blocks. It is a small chapel with a 'Miraculous Cross' that grows gradually....!

The history of the growing rocky Cross: A woman while cutting grass accidentally touched her sickle knife on a 'small cross curved of stone' and seeing blood gushing out of it she was terrified and ran away in fear. Then a person named Fernandez found the cross and placed it devoutly. A Hindu family of that place donated site for the construction of a Chapel over the Cross.

The century old cross has become the centre of miracles. The majority that approach the Kurisummoodu Pally are Hindus and Muslims. candles are lit throughout the day and devotees are free to offer their own prayers and offerings for various needs.

According to the believing, any difficult problem will be solved, however great they are, if candles are lighted and oil is poured in the lamps continuously for seven Fridays with Faith...!

Believe it or Not (Viswasichalum Illenkilum) on Asianet dtd September 12, 2011

2011-09-12T23:46:00.000-07:00

The program 'Viswasichalum Illenkilum' (believe it or not) telecast on Asianet T.V on 12th September, 2011 would have definitely melt every heart and wet every eye that watched it.

We have been seeing and hearing many incidents of cruel fathers killing their children. some times on the outbreak of fury and some times because of long lasting hatred and frustrations. But that that took place in Kannoor of Kerala recently is much different from any such incident and will make anyone cry bitterly again and again.

Any happening, movie or T.V program cannot create this much impact on the minds of people like young Shijith's brutal murder by his own drunken father, Shaji.

Shijith was a young boy studying 9th class. After school he used to wash trucks and vehicles and earned some money for the maintenance of his family, which his father did not do. He took care of his two younger brothers and sister. And ironically he had to give money to his father for his daily drink, which he was happily doing...!

Even on the ill-fated day, poor Shijith earned some Rs.500/- and bought rice for Rs.250 and gave the rest to his father who asked him for it. His father who came home late night, fully drunk, wanted his son to buy him a 'cigarette lighter' immediately. The mother who tried to wake-up the little boy, who was fast asleep after a day's hard work, failed. Then the drunken father started hitting the poor boy very cruelly. Then that father poured water on him and then hit his head against a wall which was fatal for the poor boy...!

Though his father then rushed for a taxi to take him to a hospital, it was too late.

Though this is one among many such cases, it is very much different as here the boy was so good and responsible more than his age...! He never hated or disliked his father, though the later usually behaved with him cruelly when boozed.

This incident should open the eyes of all and the authorities/government must take appropriate steps to prevent the recurrence, as these types of things happen in many poor houses in India.

Not Muslim Terrorists behind the Delhi bomb blasts...?

2011-09-07T23:10:00.000-07:00

The bomb blasts that killed and injured many innocent people in the Delhi High court compound on September 7th, 2011 is very unfortunate and highly condemnable.

A terror outfit named as HuJi has claimed responsibility for this barbaric act. Many electronic and print medias have reported this incident and termed this 'outfit' as 'Islamic or Muslim' terrorists.

I strongly feel this is completely wrong. How can a Muslim kill and wound innocent children of Allah...? How can a devoted person who believes that God is the Creator of all... destroy any 'creation' or damage anything, created by God...?

Terrorists and criminals have no God, Religion, Love, Compassion, Faith etc. They may bear names similar to that of people belonging to some religions like Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, Jewish etc. But they do not adhere to the faith or follow the tenets of any Religion, nor are they guided by the 'Divine Spirit' of Love and Peace, but the darkness of satan, the evil spirit of hate, cruelty and unrest.

So, people should stop terming inhuman terrorists linking to any Religion. A person bearing the name of a Christian Saint or a Muslim Prophet and indulging in anti-human activities, does not belong to Christianity or Islam and for that reason alone that religion should not be blamed.

When some one involves in such activities and seek support of any community, they should be isolated and banned, because showing any sympathy or support of any kind to the satan is completely against the Will of the Almighty God...!

Add your comments please...!

Asianet 'SA RI GA MA' on Aug 28, 2011 with Sobhana George & Cherian philip

2011-08-29T06:24:00.000-07:00

May I add my views on the popular Musical reality show of famous Malayalam play back singer M.G Srikumar dtd August 28, 2011 with former MLA Sobhana George and Cherian Philip, who has never won an election till date...!

In order to satisfy and gain the favor of some Communist Party leaders in Kerala, and to get listed in their good book permanently, Cherian Philip, who hails from a family of God-fearing parents, denied his faith and the Loving Lord who has raised him up...!

It was appreciable the stand of the ex- MLA, Sobhana George, who declared that she believed in God 100 percent...!

Mr. Cherian philip was seen claiming that he is a walking encyclopedia, as he thinks and believes that he is very intelligent, talented and truthful. But it will be nice if he realizes that he cannot do anything without the Grace of God...!

Though he has not won any elections to the Kerala Legislative Assembly (all the four times, he lost), he was repeatedly telling he has not lost any of the four elections...! Atleast here after, if he wishes to taste victory, I think he should publicly proclaim his faith in the Lord and serve Him, not mere men...!

Believe it or Not on Asianet T.V. the plight of the sick mother of a 12 year old girl.

2011-08-28T06:16:00.000-07:00

I am not writing this post to promote or vouch the program that is telecast on Asianet Malayalam channel on weekdays at 10.30 pm titled 'Believe it or Not' (Viswasichalum Illenkilum).

Though 'believe it or not' telecast silly programs, promoting 'blind beliefs' and 'superstitions', a story that was telecast is forcing me to post this blog.

The tearful story of a physically and mentally ailing mother, Radha and her 12 year old girl Ranjini, studying in 7th class in Pallikkathodu in Alleppy district of Keral is really heart breaking. Though the mother is mentally unwell, when it comes to her daughter she is very caring and concerned.

This clever child and her sick mother, who have no one to support, really needs it from generous people. Thanks to their good neighbors and the teachers of the girl who are kind enough to provide them with food and other minor help.

When I see such pathetic stories, I would like to ask a question, 'Is the Church of the Lord who said, "What ever you have done to one of the least of these brethren of mine, You have done it to me (Mat 25:40)"'

No Christian wants to do anything for Christ the Lord...???

God will Save America from the horrible Hurricane Irene.

2011-08-26T22:34:00.000-07:00

The devastating hurricane that is hitting America is very horrible. About 2.5 million people are ordered to evacuate as hurricane 'Irene' continues to spread fears in coastal cities. All five major airports in New York City area are closed for incoming flights.

New Jersey, New York, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and Delaware are the cities that are under the grip of fear most.

We whole-heartedly pray for all those who are affected by this hurricane to the Almighty Lord, Jesus Christ, Who commanded the storm and the sea to be calm and made them obey. He alone is the Master of the Universe and all in it.

At the same time, when we are safe and sound, we must never forget the Merciful Lord, Who has commanded His Angels to protect and safe-guard us. Always be thankful to HIM.

So, dear brethren, do not lose heart, keep your hope in the Good Lord, Who alone can save all the human kind...!

Idea Star Singer Season - 5, stage 14 - Immanuel and Kalpana make it again...!

2011-08-26T06:06:00.000-07:00

Though Akhil krishnan's performance with co-contestant Kalpana, was interesting, his actions with the anchor, Rangini Haridass was 'little over'...! Such actions must be done with other dancers or contestants, who are of same age and stage. When such mean actions are done with the anchor (whom they call as Ranjini Chechi) ro with the judges are not agreeable.

The performance of the alrounder Kalpana Raghavedra was marvellous and the that of Manu with the famous Carnatic musicians was ashtonishing.

Any person who is in a judge's seat should give much values to justice - he or she must never be influenced by favouritism of any kind...!

What is your opinion...?

Vandals set fire to Malankara Church Altar in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

2011-08-26T05:43:00.000-07:00

The most unfortunate incident of setting on fire the Altar of the Mother Mary Malankara Catholic Church by unidentified vandals took place on Thursday (Aug 25, 2011)near Krupanand Hall at Ganesh Colony in Picket of Secunderabad . They even burnt copies of the Bible, Cross, hymn books, Mass clothes and other holy ornaments.

A similar incident was witnessed by the same Church some four years ago. Activists of Hindu extremist group called, Bajrang Dal, had then attacked the Priest and damaged the Church property.

Father Felix, the Parish Priest and the elders of the Church registered a complaint with the police and the police has set up a picket, to curb further untoward incidents, though no arrests have been made so far.

People should isolate any miscreant group or sect that disrupts the communal harmony.

Bro Paul Dhinakaran to Preach in kakinada

2011-08-22T06:44:00.000-07:00

Noted Evangelist and Director of 'Jesus Calls Ministries' having its head quarters in Chennai and spread in many areas, Brother Paul Dhinakaran, s/o the late World Famous Christian Preacher and healer, Rev D.G.S Dhinakaran is to deliver the message of the Lord Jesus Christ in Kakinada of East Godavari District in Andhra Pradesh on 26th to 28th of August 2011 from 5.30 pm onwards at the JNTU Engineering College grounds.

It will be a Great Blessing event for all the people of Kakinada, without any religious or racial differences. He is famous for intercessory healing prayers just as his late father Dhinakaran.

We wish and Pray that the 'Gospel Convention' be very successful...!

Anna Hazare gets support from all corners of the world

2011-08-16T05:44:00.000-07:00

The imprisonment of Anna Hazare in the Tihar Jail, for one week's judicial custody, is spreading strong contempt and serious criticism from the people of all walk of life. They include students, teachers, artists, farmers, journalists, lawyers, and religious, political and spiritual leaders. Sri Sri Ravishankar, the founder of 'Art of Living' too has come forward with open support to Hazare.

Majority of the people of India have, and are extending their support to the social activist who is their last resort to lead the 'war on corruption', which is the most horrible enemy of 'India'.

Even Non-resident Indians (NRIs), who are concerned about the recent corrupt situations of their mother-land are joining in support to this movement from many parts of the world by fasting and conducting peaceful demonstrations.

The irony of the incident is that Anna Hazare, who is fighting against corruption is jailed in Tihar Jail, along with the political criminals like A. Raja, Kanimozhi, Suresh Kalmadi, who were involved and caught in huge scams and corruption and swallowed hundreds of crores of people's money ...!

Many people wonder why the government is afraid to take a stern step in implementing the 'Lokpal Bill', while it is a golden opportunity for them ....!

Please add your comments ....!

After 64th Independence Day, Anna Hazare -2nd Gandhian arrested by 'Indians'...!

2011-08-15T22:49:00.000-07:00

Yesterday the 65th Day of Indian Independence was celebrated through out the nook and corners of India, with great pomp and gaiety. But the arrest and detention of 'Anna Hazare' one of the very few Gandhians living in the country, fighting to liberate India from the anti-Indians, who rule it and robe it, on the very next day itself, is very unfortunate.

We saw a lot of untoward and unpleasant incidents, violence, arson and riots that shook Great Briton last week. But not learning anything from another's experience is stubbornness. It is high time for the Indian politicians and the government to learn lessons and act accordingly, before it is too late and goes beyond the control.

The government is elected by the majority of the voters, with the expectation and hope that, the elected representatives would remember always that it is the people that elected them, and they should not loot or sell or betray their mother land, but should strive to take such a wonderful country with great reputation and wealth, to prosperity and growth.

When all the leaders, departments and machinery that are responsible for checking and eliminating corruption are not functioning properly, ultimately the 'majority' 'passive people' who do not have any affiliation with any political parties or persons, lose their patience and resort to violence which may be very difficult to be controlled.

Dear Government, don't be deaf and blind, act swiftly and put a full stop to 'corruption' without any fear or 'soft corner' or 'grudge' and you can regain all your lost glory....!

P.C. Alexander (90), called to Eternal Rest: funeral to be held on Saturday

2011-08-11T05:50:00.000-07:00

The proven and powerful statesman and diplomat of yester-years Dr. P.C. Alexander, who served and proved his ability in many key posts Nationally and Internationally, has been called for Eternal Reward at the age of 90.

Dr. Alexander, who served as the principle secretary of former prime minister of
India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi and Mr Rajive Gandhi.

He was quoted much for his simplicity, honesty and Christian devotion.

The funeral is to be held on Saturday, the 13th of August, at his home Parish at Mavelikera town in Alappuzha district of Kerala which will be attended by people from all walks of life.

Unfortunate London Riots spreading to other cities of UK. What is the reason for UK riots?

2011-08-09T22:47:00.000-07:00

The riots that spread out in the great London city in England recently is quite unfortunate. It is a cause of concern to understand that it is now spreading to other cities also. Beautiful and elegent London city which is situated in the middle of the whole earth enjoys a high place of reputation for its peace, tranquility and riches of all types.

Even the Government of such a city and a country is facing the ire of the desperate people. It should be an eye-opener to all the Governments of the world. If the steps and policies taken by the political people who rule a state or country, are against the wishes of the majority, such riots, violence, looting and arsen would take place and the people may be forced to the law into their hands...!

Social uprising, racial tension and the policies of the coalition government are all the major reasons of the riots.

Any how a Christian, while seeing all these things happen, should remember the Holy Words of the Lord, said two thousand years ago and Pray to the Lord to make him eligible to 'stand with the head raised to face the Lord who is going to come soon'...! (Mark 13: 8 & 12)

Let us all whole heartedly pray for Peace to prevail and harmonious life of people in all the countries.

Metropolitan Archbishop Cornelius Elenjikkal's Funeral on 9th August, 2011 (Tuesday)

2011-08-08T06:21:00.000-07:00

Kerala's 93 years young, Catholic Metropolitan Archbishop Emeritus of Varappuzha Arch Diocese and former Bishop of Vijayapuram Diocese, who passed away about 7.30 a.m. on Sunday (7-8-2011) following old-age related illness, is to be given a ceremonial funeral at St. Francis Assisi Cathedral on Tuesday (9th August, 2011).
