View of Tamil nadu people about our Ex- Honourable Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha

Hi All,

The current scenario of Ms. J. Jayalalitha being arrested is the talk of the town. I have never written anything in support or aganist any politician. I am not a critic. I was astonished as I witnessed this yesterday evening.

I was on my way to visit golu of one of my hubby's friend. On the way we stopped in a bakery to buy some sweets  and biscuits. A Man walked past the bakery. He was fully drunk. He stopped all of a sudden and started blabbering things.. You can imagine how this scene could have been..

He said, he is the most sorrowful person in Tamil Nadu. He asked himself, " Today my son has a Laptop, My daughter has a cycle to go to school. Am I capable of giving such things to my children? No. Who has taken the money of whom? Its her Money. She has taken. Will I not take care of my Mother? does she not have the right to take money from me? She has. " I Know these are the words of the drunk. But still, I was taken aback how tamil people have gratitude towards their Chief minister!. Such is the weight-age of the Goodness she has done to the people.

How to connect Wifi using your PC internet (BSNL)

Hi All,

I have BSNL broadband connection at home. Yesterday I was wondering how come I will be able to use my PC internet in my mobile? My Wifi was visible in my mobile but was secured. This means I need to know the password to login. Where will I get this password? Was wondering how to get my pass word.

Just a little help of Google! ( As usual &) I was able to connect so.. Here is the  process I followed & I think it can help you as well.

Pre- Requisite:
* You should have switched on your PC & internet
* WLAN of your Modem must blink Green  in addition to Power,DSL,Internet & LAN

Now follow the below steps without any second thought:

1. Open any browser  window in computer when u are connected to modem and
hit 192.168.1.1
2.Enter username and password -default is admin
3. Click Configuration in the left hand side tab & click wireless Network
Here are your password in the Security settings
Network Name (SSID) is the name of the Wi-Fi
WPA Pass Phrase is the password

I was happy. Now turned on the Wi-Fi in my mobile. My mobile detected my BSNL Internet named as in SSID. I gave the WPA Pass Phrase & there I was.! Hurray! Connected & accessing internet!

ISKON Temple & Prathyankira Devi temple, Chennai

Hi all,

Again a temple visit within Chennai. 
We planned for a evening trip to the 2 temples which are close to one another.
One- Prathyankira devi temple in the IT expressway linking the OMR and ECR and 
the other- ISKON temple -in the ECR road.

Prathyankira Devi temple , Sholinganallur
The Prathyankira devi temple is situated in the IT expressway linking the OMR and ECR Road. It is very close to the Sholinganallur Signal. There are manu share autos operating from the sholinganallur Signal which will drop you in front of the temple. The temple is visible from the IT expressway. Just 1 minute walk down the street ends in the entrance of the temple. There are lots of shops on either side of the street leading to the temple. You can buy flowers, garlands, Turmeric garland, which is one of the prarthana carried on in the temple.


Straight in front of the temple, one can see Varahi, the devi with the face of Varaham (the boar) were people give the turmeric Garland, offer to the Devi and take it back home. Wlaking into the temple, you can see Vinayagar, Nagas, Akasha Lingam, Maha Kali's very tall statue. In the middle is the Prathyankara Devi temple. There was special pooja carried on as that was Full moon day or the Pournami. We had the darshan of the Devi. There are also sepearte shines for the Gayathri devi, Ayyapan, anchaneyar, Mahalakshmi in the praharam/ the surrounding of the Devi. 

The ISKON Temple
The Iskon temple is the temple of My favourite Lord Sri Krishna. ISKON is a renowned movement across the world. One can hear the chanting,
"Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare"
as you enter the temple premisis. The Temple has a beautiful palace like structure . There is a marble Cow and its Calf in the centre of the temple.



 There are steps on either side. Left one to enter and the right one to exit the temple. Climbing up the stairs one cannot take eyes off the most beautiful paintings on the walls and the story explaining the same below. There are pictures like this along the walls surrounding the entire big hall. In centre is Lord Krishna beautifully dressed with Radha. To the left are the idols of Krishna and Balarama posing a dance posture and to the Right is the Vittal idols

 

 

We had to wait in the centre of the hall awaiting Aarthi. Meanwhile there was a satsangam by one of the preist. He made gave a lecture on the topic of purpose of human life and made us chant the Maha Mantra 108 times giving us a Tulasi garland unitl the Aarthi Began.
We had the aarthi darshan followed by prasad. Had a peaceful evening. There was Book stall and donation stalls along before we got down the steps. It was a divine visit on the whole.

We also had the Anna Prasadam and was back home for the dinner! :)
"Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare"
