Isn't it an interesting coincidence that Ugaadi is around Easter time?

Re:
not without reason yellow. there's a lot to discover here
. actually a lot to realise what's already within us. as for the neem, think bitter-sweet. that's how it smells when in bloom
amazing, eh?

The eastern philosophies and religions do fascinate me. So the Neem tree leaves have a bad taste but a sweet cleansing, to start off the New year. Would love to smell and see this tree blooming.

Re: I believe your post has taught me just a tiny sample of your religion
wow! kabu, i have to take this as a compliment. because from what i have seen, this religion and the way it is practiced so variously by believers, makes it in some way, mine too. i am so glad you liked the post.

If one leaf has the power to invoke God, I believe that natural instinct is nothing short of God’s own direct intervention in our lives. I had to come back for a second read! This is so enlightening! This sentence just grabbed me! sam What a fabulous post!

Fascinating as always! Though I know next to nothing about Hinduism, from your writing I get a sense of beauty and colour and also of a certain
earthiness that is very attractive to me. One of these days I have to begin learning more - it would make a refreshing change from my ongoing examination of Islam and its attendant problems...

This is a fantastic post---informative, with food for thought. I came into Bangalore today, though too late to take part in any of the celebrations! It's lovely to see you back! Nita.

Thank you for your very informative and detailed post. I have copied it into a word document and increase the size of the script, because the color and size used in your post are difficult to read (at least for my 67 year old eyes). I am now going to print it out and read it carefully. Sincere best wishes and thank you for visiting my blog.
