Chanakya Neeti

Today I got myself a copy of Chanakya Neeti..Not sure if this was the same book some one had recommended me (written by Chanakya) but felt this could be a good outlook..But I may not read it in full vigour till Apr 14 (have my exams...)..no..I should be reading it before that..I cannot hold myself back..

Just scrolled through the pages and my eyes landed on a page in which he sees we need to raise children by scolding and using stick...Something which I have seen as being objected in many other articles..quite interesting..let us see..

I see my sister's kid growing up, here at my house, in front of my eyes..What a marvellous creation we all are..How planned a creation !!! There could not be a better creation !!! God, the Universal Architect..Just see the phases in a child's growth..from the moment he is conceived to delivery (a thing for which I think we all men will have to bow a thousand times before a woman, for the pains she takes to bring it up in Her womb as a part of her..for any other cell than grows up like this..we call it a tumor but this is LIFE) and then from the stage he starts smiling, kneeling, walking..how planned..how meaningful..So amazing to understand that a complete living being starts with two cells..How they unite..How it grows and the how for each stage God prepares his body to be ready to go to the next stage..His necks stiffens before he learns to turn his body and lay on his stomach..his knees and legs get strong by time he kneels..and so on..

What strikes me is the innocence..the smile...which we all loose some time during the so called refinement of our brains through the so called "learning" process..and in the rush to win our daily breads...

The Davinci Code

I completed reading the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Thanks to a dear friend of mine for having recommended it to me. What an excellent work..In fact it revealed certain facts which I was never aware of. The origin of today's Christianity, the Power Of Church, feminism etc etc..too many insights...a totally different perspective..

Long before when a movie released by same name and there was so much of controversy about the same I was least bothered..I just felt "OK..there is something against Christ"..But after reading it..Gosh!!! This is a volcano..A married Christ..one of the 13 followers being a lady, that too Christ's wife..Royal lineage..what not..

The Divine Proportion..PHI..Pentacle...oh God!! what an observation and theory..simply outstanding... The hidden codes in different verses..and the one that stuck me most was the encoding in mirror image letters..

It seems behind the establishment of all relegions, some blood has been spilled- all relegions have a bloody past..But then it should not be blamed on relegions but the misinterpretations made by the blind followers.

I have made up my mind to get hold of Holy Blood, Holy Grail and read it..It is referred in Da Vinci Code as well and I think it should be another mind-boggling one..Something has inspired me to read the Holy Quran as well and The New and The Old Testaments.

Surely Langdon, Sophie, Silas, Luvere Museum are going to be with me for a long time..May be I should read the book again..There could be some codes hidden in it which has not struck my eyes now...
Hats off to Dan Brown..Hats off to Da Vinci..Hats off to the Da Vinci Code

Thanksgiving
