PONGAL

THE VIRGINAL UNIVERSAL FESTIVAL OF CHEERFUL THANKSGIVING TO NATURE

Pongal stretches over four days. The word Pongal literally means "boiling over" and celebrates the bounteous crops in the fields. Houses are spruced up, cattle are bathed and decorated. Womenfolk vie with each other displaying their skills drawing a variety of eye-catching and artistic `kolams’ or Rangoli (floral patterns on the floor) in their neatly swept front yards sprinkled with cow-dung water and these designs are studded with cow dung balls decked with marigold or pumpkin flowers.

This festival is the biggest event of the year for the Tamils and actually it is for 4 days. [1]

Of these let me explain second day i.e. Surya pongal(prayers to sun god). Pongal is nothing but rice cooked in milk and jiggery [ SUGAR]. The rice is boiled in pots made of clay, the neck of the pots are garlanded with fresh turmeric roots and plants. The place where this is cooked has pictures of sun, stars and moon drawn with rice flour on the floor. Raw sugarcanes are stacked criss- cross as roof. When pongal boils the flavor combs the nostrils, the smell of turmeric vies to announce its presence to the nostrils especially when the pongal with the froth of boiling milk, water and rice rises up to the rims of the pot, then again the flavor of pongal wins as its spills over on the sides to the cheers of ‘pongalo pongal’ from those around.

Then the puja[ prayers] to the drawings of sun god starts with floral offers when the whiff of the breeze carries the fragrance of these wide varieties of flowers and the jasmine [with which the ladies adorn their hair] and almost drives away all other odors. When the puja nears the end all these smells also come to an end as the aroma of camphor set on fire offered to the sun god takes over and caves its way through the nostrils and even soothes the sinus.


All are decked up in new dress children, men and women especially old women are dressed up in the world’s best , biggest, unstitched single piece of attire of nine yards length sari which are worn with such adroitness that it looks graceful and most importantly covers the entire body expect the face, forearms and feet.

The festival is virginal because for ages the practice of thanking nature has been celebrated. In fact wondering at and worshiping nature and its elements was human species’ primary religion before the institutionalized priests’ pelf and profession-promoting religions replaced them.

In this part of the world at least in the villages it still remains intact with at least calendared recognition and reverence to nature [especially at a time when humans are misusing nature and its resources, a time has come when nature needs to be protected from human race]. Probably because here religion is a way of life and therefore out of the clutches of any specific religious institutional sanction. Fortunately the western craze for homogeneity has not penetrated these blessed places and therefore there exists harmonizing variety. This sort of uninstitutionalised, free blossoming of human spirit and simple rituals in the name of religion exudes more religiousness[religion etymologically is from Latin religare(re+lig=to bind) i.e. linking of the part with the whole. Linking ourselves (parts) with the universal divine self (whole) ] and need not necessarily express any great religion. All these native cultures, activities and rituals form part of a way of life with various and different strata of significance as per the individual’s frames of reference, scales of observation [2] and forms of perception. All people irrespective of their religious affinities participate in these festivals of thanksgiving to nature in villages though it is basically considered as a Hindu festival, it is a kind of plurality much practiced and less publicized that is why it is universal. It is virginal because these festivals continue to exist from very ancient times unadulterated and unaltered even after the real estate demarcations of humanity in the name of nationhood [3], it has survived the colonial onslaughts on native cultures and rituals, it has remained unaffected by the glare of magnifying, mutilating and manipulative western media and it has even survived the cunning conversions of festivals into commercial melas (fairs) by the big corporate houses. The poor villagers who live in such abysmal poverty have such unhappy life [4] yet celebrate the festival with cheerful spirit in their heart.





That’s why Pongal is a virginal universal festival of cheerful thanksgiving to nature.

By BALAYOGI


1]The first day, Bhogi-Pongal is devoted to Bhogi or Indran, the rain god

The second day, Surya-Pongal, is dedicated to the Sun (Surya). It is also called the Makara Sankranti [a]

[The Sun enters the Makara raasi (the zodiac sign of Capricorn - the goat)] In this part of the world timing of any event viz à viz astrological significance to planets is of prime importance and rightly so. why not?[b]

The third day, Mattu-Pongal, the day dedicated to the worship and veneration of cattle (mattu)
The horns of the cattle are decorated with turmeric and kumkum, small bells and flowers are hung around their neck and they are paraded in the streets. A kind of bullfight, called the 'Jallikattu' takes place wherein bundles containing money are tied to the horns of ferocious bulls, and unarmed villagers try to wrest the bundles from them.

The last day is known as Kanyapongal. Colored balls of the pongal are made and are offered to birds. With crops harvested people have little bit of money and leisure to make merry with. Farmers give new clothes and grain to the laborers who work for them. Every male is required to greet his sister/sisters with some gifts on this day.

[ a]Traditionally, this period is considered an auspicious time and the veteran Bhishma of Mahabharata chose to die during this period. Bhishma fell to the arrows of Arjuna. With his boon to choose the time of his death, he waited on a bed of arrows to depart from this world only during this period. It is believed that those who die in this period have no rebirth]. The importance of astrology and astronomy are respected in India knowing well its significance and even those lands and cultures which claim not to give any importance to astrology would do well to read this simple fact

http://contentwriteups.blogspot.com/2009/08/astrology.html

2] Lecomte du Nuöy writes in his excellent book ‘HUMAN DESTINY’ [a signet book published in 1949 page 20] “one can say from the standpoint of man it is the scale of observation which creates the phenomenon. Every time we change the scale of observation we encounter new phenomena. On our scale of observation, as pointed out before, the edge of a razor blade is a continuous line. On the microscopic scale, it is a broken but solid line. On the chemical scale we have atoms of iron and carbon. On sub-atomic scale we have electrons in perpetual motion which travel at the rate of several thousand miles per second. All these phenomena are in reality the manifestations of the same basic phenomenon, the motion of electrons. The only difference which exists between them is the scale of observation.”

3] Nationhood reminds me of an excellent verse because the birth of nations has meaninglessly separated all of us-human beings a single species-the children of Mother Earth. This is the verse

Brief reflection on a fence- by Miroslav Holub
[ translated from Czech to English by Ewald Osers]

A fence

begins nowhere
ends nowhere

and

separates the place where it is
from the place where it isn’t.

unfortunately, however,
every fence is relatively permeable, some for

small

others for large things so that
the fence actually
does not separate but indicates
that something should be separated.
And the trespassers will be prosecuted.

In this sense
the fence can
perfectly well be replaced with an angry word,

or sometimes even

a kind word, but that as a rule
does not occur to anyone.

In this sense therefore
a truly perfect fence
is one
that separates nothing from nothing,
a place where there is nothing, from
a place where there’s also nothing.

That is the absolute fence, similar to the poet’s word.


4] Who are not sure of their next week’s meal, who do not have proper sanitation and accessibility to good potable water.

Actually I wrote this article some 10+ years back in my former name v.karthikeyan for an AUSTRALIAN portal which wanted me to write about some festival unique to my region.

TOLERANCE

Tolerance is not that easily possible through intellectual analysis, emotional approaches, rational perception, social ethics, legal enforcements, political slogans or even religious morals; for, all these are essentially conditioned and have an inherent filtering system; besides, all these edifices are built on the foundations of thought and passion, the two great factors of discrimination and division.
Tolerance is possible only through an unqualified love born out of a comprehensive understanding of the fact that everyone and everything is the result of Divine Will and Divine Manifestation.
A TO Z OF TOLERANCE

Tolerance is a natural Attitude and the Attitude of nature;

It forms the Best Behavior and it is the Best form of Behavior

It Characterizes the Cream of a society and is the Cream of social Character

It Dwells in the heart to make life a hearty Dwelling;

It is an Enlightened Emotion that leads to Emotional Enlightenment

Attitude is not a subject matter it is a subjective matter, the secret power working twenty-four hours a day. If you can synergize your head and heart properly with the understanding of the divine life force you have an attitude. And like your heartbeat and brain cells it also works 24 hours a day throughout your life. Physically mal-functioning and poor maintenance of heart and head can determine the length of your life. Similarly your attitude determines the length of your relationship in society, in the family, with your own inner self and ultimately with the universal divine life force. They may either influence behaviors or be influenced by behaviors. In short it is an encapsulated presentation or representation of the whole gamut of ourselves [our thoughts, our beliefs, our value systems, our culture, our ethics, our morals, our actions, our reactions, our conditionings, our social milieu, our gender, our religious upbringing, our education, the instructions we have accumulated, the persuasions we have undergone etc] to the outer world. Attitude maintenance, therefore, requires embedding certain traits and ejecting certain others. So there can be no templates but only tailor made adjustments and indications to go about them. Neither are these meant to guide you to any sort of attitude formation tutorial. Being a subjective matter it always is a voyage in experimentation, experience, enjoyment expecting very optimistically whether it could lead to enhancement of our relationships and enlighten our perception. In the voyage I have realized one fact that Attitude cannot be confined to or evaluated by any specific category as Psychogenic factors, bio psychosocial factors etc it is a matter of multi-dimensional manifestations involving various aspects of life.

Multi-levels and variety are the inevitable aspects of everything connected with life be it aesthetics, arts, attitudes, sensory perception etc


The rainbow is a profoundly hopeful symbol, which separates the white light of appearances into its multiple spectrums, revealing a hidden dimension!


DIVINE LIFE FORCE- THE MASTER TEMPLATE

1] Let us remember that everything that happens to us and everyone that we have a relationship with are the work of a divine life force, as our life itself is a gift of this divine life force.

This life force manifests in everyone in a unique way and it is evident in all your actions.

Let us face everything and everyone without any prejudice and precondition because all are made of this life force.

Variety is not just the spice of life it is the undeniable fact of life and the vindication of the various manifestations of the One Life Force.

Trying to homogenize the various manifestations of life force is therefore acting against the basic fact of life.

No single Ism or Ideology, however great and good it may be, even if it is time tested, can be, therefore, considered as a perfect model for human race as a whole or a panacea for all human ills.

For the convenience of collective survival we can adopt some common practices under certain conditions but it is foolish to try them out in all situations.

Evaluation of anything must be done only through the feeling of the life force that is at the core of the thing.

To understand this life force there is no need for any specific technique. It has no specific label or form as everything is formed out of it.

Life force of anything can be understood once we get into any matter with passion. Then, peruse and perceive it with total intensity and intense totality.
It is a sort of unqualified and unprejudiced attentive in depth observation. When we do this, we develop a relationship with the life force that goes on to make the thing or person.

When we are in relationship we feel with all the senses and therefore we understand.

There is no need to dissect anything into pieces, no need to develop jargons, no need to have lengthy discussions as to whether micro or macro analysis is suitable to understand.

This element called the life force is what makes anything pleasant and workable.

The more we develop a relationship with the life force of anything, anyone or any situation the better we can understand.

Our entire biological frame, the human anatomy with all the software and hardware that makes us as functional living creatures was packed into a very tiny egg only by this life force [proof that Nano technology of the highest order has been there always. Only thing is, we have recently been trying it out with a new label called Nano technology]. It grows and survives only because of this life force and finally at an appropriate time when the hardware weakens and the software mal functions the life force moves to another form or frame.

When we grasp this life force of anything it unravels the hidden mysteries and marvels of that thing. Almost all discoveries are made this way. That’s why most discoveries are made by simple folks who have not made great academic achievements or by great scholars accidentally when they took their mind away from the scholarly pursuits and instead looked into life in a relaxed manner.


There are many undiscovered mysteries waiting to unravel provided we bother to study by getting to feel the life force of the matter [for example water ‘WATER IS NOT JUST MADE OF H2O IT HAS AN UNEXPLORED THIRD ELEMENT … IF IT WERE MADE OF JUST TWO ATOMS OF HYDROGEN AND ONE ATOM OF OXYGEN THEN WE COULD EASILY PRODUCE WATER UNDER SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE -http://waterthesupremeenergy-balayogi.blogspot.com/] …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..] or life force of certain persons [ how sometimes very ordinary individuals achieve extraordinary things all of a sudden]. It may not be achieved merely by the information packed academic exercises or research alone but along with it developing a unqualified relationship without inhibition with the subject of study. I mean a sort of real intense love affair with the subject of study.

Every stride that scientific discovery has made has been the revelation of this life force.

Every natural splendor, every natural phenomenon, every living organism is in essence made of this life force.

A beautiful rose made of plastic or paper may be so attractive that it may rival its original one in color and texture but it cannot have the fragrance of the original one. A perfume of rose essence may smell better than the original rose but it cannot carry the original color of the rose nor the honey to attract the butterflies nor can it entertain the dew drops. Whereas, it is this life force that is packed in a original rose flower proudly seated on a rose plant as its color, its fragrance, its shape, as the sweetness in its honey, as the soft petals amid a multitude of stiff thorns, as the cushion to his ancestors the dew drops, oh what a marvelous mechanism that brings out the colorful rose.

Whatever may be the advancement of science, however well it may reproduce several things artificially; it can never inject the life force into anything.

This divine life force is also manifest in several things in varying degrees of intensity and when its intensity gets reduced it is a form of decay.

In babies it is very intense, in children little less, and as we grow and accumulate many thoughts and things that pollute it, its intensity gets reduced.

Once we accept this template, rather the basic template of divine life force and learn its features we can make wonders.

All best forms of arts, great pieces of literature, important works of sciences have used this template.

Let us study the various features of this template and how best we can make use of it.

The human body is an energy system involved in a process of perpetual self –construction and self –destruction and this energy system itself is just a part of that Divine life force. All are part of this Divine life force and this Divine life force is part of everything. So let us try to

Approach it to appreciate, adopt, assimilate, accommodate or at least to adjust and not analyze and judge,

Befriend it being made of the same source,

Care to connect and stay connected with it with conviction,

Deal with it dearly to develop mutually,

Empathize and encourage it,

Fulfill its needs,

Gear up to give into it and take from it,

Help and highlight the need of its help,

Intermingle with all its manifestations to initiate intelligent interactions,

Join with it jovially,

Keep up kindly to its expectations,

Link with it loyally and lovingly and love and live aware its link,

Make meaningful moves to meet its needs,

Nullify narrow and negative notions near it,

Offer to cooperate with it in all good opportunities,

Participate proactively with it to promote progress and peace,

Quit all quarrels of questionable identities of isolation,

Reach out with it to remind the roots to everyone,

Savor its presence -the space between words and the silence between sounds,

Take a trip to its source and become more resourceful,

Understand the ubiquitous unity of this life force,

Value its intrinsic aspects,

With it work for a worthy world of wisdom,

X-ray into our inner self with it to get enlightened,

Yoke the light weighted heart with its help, then

Zoom into zealous raptures with it and because of it.

Attitudes are formed as a result of this ongoing process of evaluations. We all constantly evaluate everything, everyone and various aspects of our environment. So to ensure correct attitude we must analyze what are the tools with which/basis on which we evaluate? The methods we adopt to evaluate? And how we evaluate? All these, in turn, will determine to a great extent our attitude in most of the cases.

This will also give us an idea whether our attitude influences our behavior or our behavior influences our attitude.

Evaluate the purpose of life by the amount of happiness you have given to others.

Evaluate the value of life by the extent you have been useful to others.

Evaluate the meaning of life by the love you give to others.

Evaluate the destiny of life by the amount of love you get from others.

Evaluate the quality of your life by your attitudes.

Evaluate the wisdom of your life by the experience you have gained and the lessons you have learnt and the knowledge you have acquired from your experiments and actions.

Evaluate the worthiness of your life by the amount of or extent of realizations you have had.

Evaluate the totality of life not by owning anything or even trying to own life itself but by living life.

But the best way to evaluate life is to live it.

And you live based on what you have and who you are.

Even if you are schooled in irrelevant, inadequate, out dated, useless, erroneous trivia at least do not base your belief systems or thoughts on them because

Your thoughts and beliefs decide your life irrespective of whether you are prosperous, peaceful and happy or the other way.

Because they help you to make the choice and the choices you make decide who you are and what you do depends on who you are and ultimately what you do gets you whatever you have.

But unfortunately we tend to think the process topsy-turvy. We want to have whatever we want and think that it will make us and shape us.
Be on your own don’t choose for others nor let others choose for you. so have your own set of resolutions to make and break.

Give love get love

The best way to understand anything is to love it and savor its beauty. Topic being love I intend broaching it as a philophile [Lover of love]. Greek root philein means “loving”. When I did so, I found love to be,

1] Overwhelming wholesome flow of beauty
2] Divine
3] To understand it we have to be very religious.

1] True love is overwhelming wholesome flow of beauty

It is always the unstoppable and unstopped live wholesome flow of feeling of abundance that happens and permeates everywhere in us and around us and into all realms of life. It is not any leveraged or labored emotion or activity going through a studied and planned process; it does not happen after analyzing the pros and cons and consequences; it does not happen in parts and transcends realm after realm like physical, emotional, spiritual etc. Being always a live wholesome flow that happens we cannot dissect it into parts like any dead specimen and try to understand it. When this flow happens we are just part of it and it is also part of us; it is not something that we create or produce to give happily; nor is it something that exists outside us for us to get it . So the very expression give love get love can be included in the list of oxymorons.

Unfortunately the term Love has undergone enormous misunderstandings and mutilations that its true meaning is hidden beneath a huge carapace of multiple connotations.

First the word Love is a universal live wire used for everything from the silly to the sublime. Second, unfortunately, the verb love is used as a transitive verb. So when linguistically communicated love must have some external object or some external aspect of what we love. But every love and everyone’s love has uniqueness to it. That’s why the same thing or person is loved for different reasons, at several levels and varying degrees of intensity. Butreal love with total intensity and intense totality goes beyond the external things and becomes one with the spirit and soul of the beloved, that is, when the live wholesome flow happens and two or more points in the flow get connected. As Song of Solomon puts it, "I am my beloved, and my beloved is me."Reciprocity is embedded in Love. So when we give love we get love. Tsekung asked, “Is there one word that can serve as a principle of conduct of life” and Confucius replied, “It is the wordSHU meaning ‘reciprocity’ .So when you give love you can only get love. This is not a slogan but a logical truth.

2] Love is divine.

We must have a communion with it [get connected]. When communicated our inadequate tools of communication dilute its true value and totality. Besides before communicating we naturally tend to conceptualize by confining it to our own self imposed limitations, whereas, in reality true love manifests in everything, it permeates everywhere, it is a splendor to be savored and an indescribable wonder.

It is better to get absorbed in love than observing it or judging it. To observe or to judge we need to perceive, and perception involves the processes of grading, categorizing, classifying etc and sieving them with our limited knowledge base, experience and attitudinal reactions etc. so better love every moment of love. Like divinity it is always pleasant and present, something live, there can never be a love was or love will be, love always isas the best definition of God itself is “I am and not I will be”. As Germaine De Stael says "Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time."

Therefore, in these aspects love is divine as it cannot be confined to concepts, categories, classifications and chronology of past and future.

3] We must be religious know love.

The word religion means ‘linking of the part with the whole’ i.e. communion, from the Latin roots re- again, ligare-to link. So the best way to understand love is to be part of it, participate in it, get immersed into it with our heart and savor its beauty. As Helen Keller remarks "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."

No writing on love can do justice without a reference to Plato who confirms my contention that love is beauty, divine and it is best relished with participation when he says that “Beauty [love] is eternal, unproduced, indestructible; neither subject to increase or decay . . . All other things are beautiful through a participation of it . . .
This is the divine and pure . . . the beautiful itself”.
Love is beauty as St. Augustine said "Love is the beauty of the soul."

this was written by my daughter B.Srividya studying in sixth standard for an essay competition conducted by UN Information centre.

Like this I am presenting brief acronyms of certain important terms for each day of the year. They bring out the denotations and connotations of the terms and also the attitude we adopt/are adopting/need to adopt towards what the term refers. These acronyms can be used as SMS messages for each day of the year. Some cases a link is given for further reading or more elaboration and discussion on what the term refers to.

Every day is a good day.
Your every-day mind - that is the Way! - Unmon, Japan

I asked a child, walking with a candle,
"From where comes that light?"
Instantly he blew it out.
"Tell me where it is gone --
then I will tell you where it came from." - Hasan of Basra

Always remember whether you like it or not years get added to our life automatically but we need to scrupulously add life to years.

Putting aside the meaningless chronological fencing of past year and the New Year.

Let us create the habit of breathing newness into life. It involves learning, doing and seeing something new everyday and also seeing everything we do and everyone we encounter with new eyes, new insights and a new perspective and doing everything with renewed vigor, revised perspective and reworked vision shedding the preconditioned images, ideas and prejudices about the thing or the person. Destiny might have pinned us in the past or may pin us to a place/program but a new way of looking at things and persons will make our life better.

New Year

N othing is new

E xcept our dissection of time

W orked up to define chronology

Y oicks![1] yet another

E xcuse for entertainment

A nd another attempt at the herdish

R itual of resolutions .

1] YOICKS-expression of surprise or excitement

N evertheless when

E veryone is celebrating

W e cannot be sermonizing as a kill joy.

Y es, it is time to

E njoy and entertain

A ll out and

R elate to the world through collective recreation because

N othing should deprive life of its

E njoyments ,even our confining it as a calendared event.

W isdom requires life to be lived be it divided as

Y ears or yugas as,

E xistence of life with all its functions, fallacies, and fallibilities

A lways was there even before we

R eferred to it through different chronological divisions.
