People don’t ever want to accept any Lie about God, even if it is so straight-in-the-face.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;One thing that comes to my mind particularly is Sabarimala Makaravilakku&lt;em&gt; ( &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://mailerdeamon.blogspot.com/2006/01/makaravilakku.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Read this&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; for a really nicely written background, and about how the divine light is anything but divine at all). &lt;/em&gt;They keep doing it again and again. Okay, they HAVE to keep it going. One thing: it’s about the money involved, which is really very Huge. Other, it’s a lameness at its worst excess: to keep people’s faith in the right place.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The rituals were carried out again!! No, I don’t mean the actual one, I mean the on TV. Yes, for the sheer dumbness of the matter, channels did it LIVE. Live Reporting of a Great Hoax. You thought it wouldn’t get worse and it did.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Why do people so refuse to believe. Why is so hard. Even, when you have all the facts and it’s PROVEN that it’s all a planned and “neatly” managed set-up!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:87dcee03-ede6-4491-970e-aaf293f9b6fa" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/God" rel="tag"&gt;God&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Gods" rel="tag"&gt;Gods&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Sabarimala" rel="tag"&gt;Sabarimala&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Sabarimala+Makaravilakku" rel="tag"&gt;Sabarimala Makaravilakku&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Makaravilakku" rel="tag"&gt;Makaravilakku&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Live+TV" rel="tag"&gt;Live TV&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/refuse+to+believe" rel="tag"&gt;refuse to believe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5043616872913815642-7836701925305848855?l=swamistad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swamistad.blogspot.com/feeds/7836701925305848855/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5043616872913815642&amp;postID=7836701925305848855' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5043616872913815642/posts/default/7836701925305848855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5043616872913815642/posts/default/7836701925305848855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swamistad.blogspot.com/2009/02/okay-now-i-dont-get-it-either.html' title='Okay, now.

The only worthwhile activity that has been going on was some reading. Amazed by the fact that people all over this globe think and act on similar terms, I have decided to look around a bit more than I am used to. We all spend a big part of our lives confining ourselves to little cubicles, defining our territories, shaping the surroundings the way we want them to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there I decide…not to dictate or even try to judge how somebody else lives.  Everybody has a reason to live life as they do, and if I am ever to interfere, it is important to think not twice or thrice but many many times over.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5043616872913815642-903368421745901951?l=swamistad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swamistad.blogspot.com/feeds/903368421745901951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5043616872913815642&amp;postID=903368421745901951' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5043616872913815642/posts/default/903368421745901951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5043616872913815642/posts/default/903368421745901951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swamistad.blogspot.com/2008/10/reason-for-everything.html' title='A Reason For Everything!'/><author><name>Swa' Me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08069973856593841038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cHRMWEC5JHc/SN0aCr4oGGI/AAAAAAAAAAU/mCm-n8g34lA/S220/Swa%27+Me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043616872913815642.post-3481959068886728600</id><published>2008-09-23T08:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T09:09:13.131-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><title type='text'>Swami at Peace.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/1/277607_6fbd611ac3.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/1/277607_6fbd611ac3.jpg?v=0" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swami was at his creative best today, that he decided to start blogging. Swami has been around leading a life of recluse and seclusion, in Blogosphere. Yes, I must admit that I have been reading a LOT of blogs. I did not for some reason, to this day have the courage to comment on one, I really cannot justify that way of being.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm planing to read more, this while around. And, perhaps start commenting on blogs. That will add more zest to the whole deal. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, ... I'm looking around. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5043616872913815642-3481959068886728600?l=swamistad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swamistad.blogspot.com/feeds/3481959068886728600/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5043616872913815642&amp;postID=3481959068886728600' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5043616872913815642/posts/default/3481959068886728600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5043616872913815642/posts/default/3481959068886728600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swamistad.blogspot.com/2008/09/swami-at-peace.html' title='Swami at Peace.'/><author><name>Swa' Me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08069973856593841038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cHRMWEC5JHc/SN0aCr4oGGI/AAAAAAAAAAU/mCm-n8g34lA/S220/Swa%27+Me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
