Sex, sanyasi, sensations

The world is funny! Few weeks back there was this Sun TV that was tantalizing TN with repeat, re-re-repeat of the 'sharing' and 'bonding' of Ranjita & Nityanandha nee Rajasekhar. That was quite a hot video - And poor FTV got banned for a while, for being obscene. Can the ministry of I&B shun Sun TV?

There was furor. Destruction of the ashram; and feelings ranging from Innocent question of "Was that REALLY nityananda swamiji?" to outright jealous "I do not get to enjoy and this guy is sc**wing around?"

The crux was "how can a sanyasi enjoy sex?'

Now, the public has conveniently forgotten the whole episode, excepting Dinakaran and Nakkheeran who are still carrying this in the home page of their websites. Nakkheeran was even peddling the ‘full’ video for anyone ,whoever subscribed to their website for a year.

Nityananda has come out with another video, this time a tightly framed footage (I guess Osama popularized the culture of fugitive-celebrity video blogging) that he is getting into deeper penance, away from the Ashram (and actresses) – spiritual seclusion, in his own words.


Right said Buddha, "Desire is the root cause of all evil."

All the best Nitya!


Here is my take on the situation:

Whatever Nitya said/preached holds well whether he screws someone or not. The so called devotees – Better start to look up.

Whatever events happened is a test - for both the Guru and the Shishya.

An integrity test for the Guru - to understand his weakness and a test of faith for the disciple.

Whoever is a sincere seeker is not swayed by the incident. They steadfast continue their path. They have the clarity – the guru is a sign post and sign posts need not have to travel with them.

The celebrity status of the Guru and the cult-like followers are gone.
What else can be a better time, than now, to look at what Nitya has shared as wisdom?

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." – Jesus of Nazareth

Whoever got disturbed has to understand that they have brought in their judgment and their own petty mind into the Guru-Shishya relationship.

Whoever burnt, stomped, attacked the ashram and the followers, are the Hindu equivalent of the Jihadis. They are the emotional idiots, who have not realized their own mind's making.

Nitya, as guru of the ashram, did the right thing - gave up the control of the ashram, whose wealth status had attracted the ire.

I am sure, Nitya will re-surface and will come back strongly than before.

I will not be surprised, the whole fiasco disappearing from the media (and hence public memory) completely, as soon as the political objectives behind the sting operation were achieved.

How soon? Depends on the political climate and the public mood. Anyway, the public memory is short lived and opinions are relative. Just one more scandal in the region, Nitya episode will be - End of "nityananda" - Season I

Wings cant fly

my lil teen daughter
bubbly and a non-stop chatter

an angel - she is a darling

Keeps me away and shy
Why Whisper Wings cant fly?

travel

நெடுந்தூர பிரயாணம்
அதிகாலை விமானம்
கிளம்பும் போது
மனைவி கேட்டாள்
எல்லாத்தையும்
எடுத்துக்கிட்டீங்களா ?
purse  ல cash?
ticket?
tie?
blackberry?
laptop charger?
முத்தம் ஒன்னு
விட்டுடீங்களே?
எடுத்திட்டு போகலையா?
பிரயாணம் இனிதாய்
ஆரம்பம் :)

Accident

ரசிக்காத ஓவியங்கள்

வாழ்க்கைத் துடிப்பின்
இறுதி போராட்டம்
ஓவியமாய்
மாநகர சாலையில்
காவல்துறை
கைவண்ணத்தில் !

ரத்தம் ஒரே நிறம்

மனிதரில் ஆயிரம் ஜாதி
சாலை விபத்தின்
ரத்த சுவடுகள்
சொல்லும்
மரண ஜாதி
ஒரே ஜாதி

e=mc^2

சூடு இருந்தா
தேடுறது 
செம கட்டை.

சூடு குறைஞ்சு
செத்தா
ஏத்துறது கட்டை.

சூடு போனா கட்டை
கட்டை எரிஞ்சா சூடு.

சூடு energy
கட்டை matter

e = mc^2
தொடர்பு புரியுதா 
மாமே?

அண்ணன் மன்னன்
கரு வண்ணன்
கவிக்கொரு கண்ணன்
வாரத்தில் பத்து நிமிடம்
வாழ்வின் அனுபவம்
வார்த்தையில் வடித்தெடுத்து
கவிதை சொல்வான்
இதயம் வெல்வான்

மீதி நேரம்
கணினி திரையில்
முகம் புதைத்து
டைடலில்
தேடல் தொலைத்தவன்

அண்ணன் மன்னன்
கரு வண்ணன்
கவிக்கொரு கண்ணன்
