Sahaya Hasta

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 20:20 +0550

Sahaya Hasta is an NGO based out of Coimbatore, India. It's a small organization tugged away in one corner of India, not reached by many.There are a lot of things that come to my mind when I think about NGO's. But one among them stands out. It's something that I want to tell the world but don't know how to. It's probably a request. It's this.If you are planning to support the needy, don't go to an established organization. These organizations must already be helping a lot of people and be having good support from volunteers. I'd rather urge you to go to the small and not so famous ones. The ones that need help. That way we could reach a much wider population. Just a thought. What you think?

Taking wings

Sat, 30 May 2009 18:48 +0550

I remember that day. I was up on my balcony awaiting the rain. I could see birds struggling to fly on that stormy night: fighting against the mighty wind, flapping their wings so hard. They would go all the way up and then swoosh down, covering little distance. I felt pity for they couldn't reach home before the rains.Little did I know that they were having fun until it was my turn to fly. Currently : Checking out apps for my MacBook! Yippee!

A message to the world

The last in the series. This time I'm linking you to an introduction to the Bhagavat Gita and the Mahabharata.

Lord Krishna (कृष्ण)

Most of the Indian visitors here would know almost everything about Lord Krishna. For those of you who don't, here's a brief.Sri Krishna is one of the most lovable deities of the Hindu Religion. He is regarded as the eighth incarnation (or avatar) of Lord Vishnu. God Krishna is the personification of love and ecstasy that vanishes all pain and sin. In the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna teaches the Bhagavat Gita, a 700 verse sacred scripture which is known as a practical, self-contained guide to life. Krishna is also associated with the Raas-Leela, in which he is always surrounded by the Gopis (Young cowherd girls). His immense love for Radha is immortal and the couple is usually remembered as Radha-Krishna.

the lamp

In hinduism, lamps signify knowledge. Since they remove darkness, light is worshipped as God himself. The oil in lamps denote negative tendencies which are in turn burnt away along with the wick (our ego). When the ego perishes, we realize that we are all part of Brahman and that life is a continuity.

I do

I've always wanted to photograph Indian weddings. The beauty about it is that there's so much preparation going and at the same time there's so much confusion. Over the next few days you will see photographs from a south Indian (Keralite to be precise) wedding. Currently Following: Visit Jessica Claire. She's a great inspiration.

nature's palette

I wish I were standing on this beach with a canvas in my hand. I could pick the colors from the palette and make a beautiful painting. There would be strong winds blowing against my face and children laughing in my ears. Look, the couple walking hand in hand with their dog running ahead playing with the waves. I would give anything just to be standing here to enjoy the magnificient skies and to wonder about this beautiful world.Shot at : Calicut beach, Kerala, IndiaCurrently following : The Illuminati Quiz
