My dearest Saraswathi Akka and all the Kutties, Kannas, Chellams and the one only Begum, plus of course the cynosure of all their eyes, Master Jalal😉,

Here is wishing all of you a wonderful Ganesh Chaturthi, and all possible blessings from the
Vignaharta during the year ahead. Especially the best of health.
Happy Ganesh chaturthi 😊 Di
Wish you a good health too.
We have a Ganapathi sthapana in the lobby of our building here, and we have a daily evening aarti and bhajans, plus the distribution of prasad by one or more families after the aarti. The eco-friendly Ganapati made of clay will not pollute the river during the visarjan. The kids in the building make the most fabulous new rangolis every day. It is all great fun.
Full festive mood. 👏
As for us at home, we have 21 different Ganeshas of all shapes and sizes, sitting, standing, dancing, in wood, stone, crystal, marble, glass, clay, ivory, from 2 cms tall to 14" tall.
Wow beautiful .

We shall have a small pooja for all of them this evening. I am still trying to make up my mind whether I should risk trying my hand at making the vella kozhukattai (sweet modak) and the ven kozhukattai. (salty modak).
I never Hurd about salty modak now I will find out.

Do you know, Akka, my nana used to be the champion at making the cups for the vella kozhukattai ? And he was then the Diwan of the princely State of Pudukkottai, near Trichy!
Nice to hear.

I am just going down for the installation, so bye for now, and a big, big, 🤗 to all of you, and especially to my one and only Akka!

Very cute Akka, and most imaginative and clever.👏

But I see that Master Jalal is insidiously ousting my little Babloo,and Baby as well, from this thread.

I herewith lodge a formal protest against this kind of usurpation of this thread. It might well be dedicated to the Akdha Admirers Association (that Akdha are now past their expiry date is another matter!😉). but it is by definition meant for the grown up Jalal uncle and Jodha Akka, not these kiddie versions!

I WANT MY BABY AND BABLOO BACK!!! Full on front and centre, and not in some kind of sidey role next to Master Jalal!😉

Akka dear,

Since today is not just Ganesh Chaturthi but also Teacher's Day, being the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, one of the greatest philosopher-statesmen India has ever known, I thought you, and even more so the younger lot here, might be interested in the following:

In the Indian tradition, the guru ranks even above God, for it is he who teaches you to know and understand God. The sloka goes like this:

Gurur Brahma, gurur Vishnuhu, gurur devo Maheshwaraha,
Gurur sakshat Parambrahmaha,
Tasmey shri gurave namaha

The guru is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara all in one (for the guru creates and preserves your mind and your spirit, and destroys all that is wrong in your mind, as Mahadev does for the universe). The guru is the embodiment of the Parabrahman, the Supreme Reality, and so I bow down before the guru.

It is another matter that not many teachers these days live up to this elevated image, but still there are some such.
As for Dr. Radhakrishnan, he was, for all his great learning, also impishly humorous at times. Someone once asked him to differentiate capitalism from communism. His response:

In capitalism, man exploits man. In communism, it is the reverse!😉

My very dear Shyamala,

They don't celebrate Teachers' Day here in Australia.. neither today nor on any other day. They don't even sell cards wishing the teacher community and I don't know the reason..

By the way, there is a Carnatic song in Tamil by the famous Oothukkadu Venkata Kavi, in the raga Rithigowla, which is in praise of the Guru.

"Enna PuNNiyam Seitheno Sathgurunatha

O my teacher, what virtuos deed did I do,

Ethanai thavam seitheno ninnaruL peravE

What penance did I do to have your grace on me?

Pannarum VedangaL padithu uNarndalum

Eventhough I have learnt and understood the vedas (and other scriptures)

UnnaruL illavittal onrukkum udavathe

It will be useless without your grace (and patronage)

Vadiya payirukku peyyum Mazhayaippole

(You are) Just as the welcoming rain for the withering crop

Valar mullaikkodokkoru kozhu kidaithaarpole

(And)Like a supporting beam for a jasmine creeper

Thediyum kaaNatha draviyame sadguru deva deva

O my great guru, your are a treasure that is hard to find

Shyamala, the translation is done with my limited vocabulary. Perhaps some one can do it better!

You can listen to this song in YT. So many artistes have sung it.

Yours

Akka.

@Shyamala Aunty!

Accept all my heartfelt wishes of this Teachers' Day!

Most of the teachers of present times are totally unaware of the immense responsibility that a teacher has... apart from all the meaningful lines that you've explained with erudition and elan, a teacher trains the society of tomorrow... and it's a pity we barely come across a teacher, a man like Dr. Radha Krishnan these days!

@Saraswathi Aunty,

This Jalal kutty is very olebabale-ing, no doubt, but I would prefer our... knight in shining armour, Shahenshah Jalal in place of this blonde kid, anytime 😳

And my Babloo shona, with her Baby'kka is something else altogether 😉😆
