New Jersey. Mr & Mrs. Anand And Family. Safari And Temples

Happiness has different facets. Meeting a person personally and thanking him is physical. When an examination is passed it is mental, when a religious function is performed, it is spiritual. When an act is performed for the common good it is Universal. Mr. K. V. Ramakrishnan, our brother- in -law is an embodiment of spirituality like the Mahatma from Bengal and his Mrs. an embodiment of peace. Their son Mr. Anand and his family is living in New Jersey. Mr. Anand is very brilliant from the beginning, very beloved boy of the kins. Anand and Latha were instrumental in fixing our first daughters marriage. Thus, it was a thanks giving visit.

The next target was towards the wood the abode of the ascetics but here abode of animals African safari and the mesmerizing magic world on the banks of the Atlantic. The craze for comfort has caused exploitation of natural resources without the knowledge that one day scarcity will lead to paucity, leading to extinction. Animals are migrating to cities in search of water and shelter. Fish is happy, if it is in water. If it comes out, fish will become a dish, or a medicine or a show- piece at home. America feels really indispensable for care and nurture showing animals fair attention. African safari: With instructions welcoming visitors, rules followed meticulously in letter and spirit, silence maintained every where wild animals worth a glance from afar, mild animals deserving a touch, birds a treat to the eye, the dance of the elephant trunk, the majestic movement of the lions and tigers, the peacocks dancing with feathers opened, the camels coming near the car for food, demand through sound, the jumping of monkeys, shows animal kingdom wants freedom like man and if man keeps them happy they will make him happy. Do not destroy them for desires. Build them, bring them up, be happy.
Then towards Atlantic ocean, end of eastern side of America and on the other side you have UK. The gorgeous buildings with romantic roman style, when is it built, Venice style, the Taj ascending here sending you to raptures, once entered, it is a mesmerizing world with colourful lamps, multiple people, multiplying money, in the machines to become millionaires, computers calling you to play games, not a shame, not for fame, none to blame, it is the same to earn a few dollars. Insert the dollars, play the number, try and try again, you will gain. ATMs pay your prize promptly but men never because” lust first luck next.” Play as a hobby and return without causing concern because the more you are here there is the fear of your money becoming all clear So dear, go near, with fear come back here, Don’t hear the word “all clear” as you may have to shed tear. It was Dussera and on the eighth day again we met at Anand’s, had a spiritual gathering with Mr and Mrssreedhar as guest of honour adding colour and glamour with a meeting after eating which was upbeating the significance of the gathering, the need to get together, remember, recollect, rejoice episodes anectodes, thanking the almighty and the elders for an opportunity to meet, eat, and chat and maintain this tradition even in an alien country. International celebration of Dussera was really inspiring. Previously kings used to celebrate. They disappeared and it is in vogue in religious shrines like Sringeri, where there is no hurry, daily sweet curry, surrounded by Hari, greenery, scintillating scenery, the consorts of the trinities in charge of wealth, wisdom and valour propitiated three days in an order. Ultimate day is the day of victory. Creeper of desires, happiness, its combination, the king, good wish, moonlight, honesty all under one roof - an ample proof of unity in diversity.
