Deepavali is the premier festival celebrated by all Hindus in Malaysia . And amongst the many festivals observed by us only Deepavali is honoured with a national holiday. It is also the only day when we open our doors to all our non-Hindu friends.

Yet, a festival as significant as this has over the years degenerated into an irreligious orgy of gluttony and drunkenness. Is this what Deepavali is all about? Let's ponder awhile.

The History

In Puranic times, there was an evil king called Naragasuran. When his misdeeds became intolerable, the people prayed for divine intervention. In answer to their prayers, Lord Krishna destroyed the asuran. Lord Krishna then approached Naragasuran's mother to explain His actions. By then the news of the asuran's destruction had spread and the people had began to celebrate.

Thus by the time Lord Krishna approached her, Naragasuran's mother was reconciled to the fact that her son's destruction was necessary for the good of the people. Though her loss was great, she was prepared to sacrifice her son.

She therefore requested that the joy that the people were enjoying should not cease. Lord Krishna granted her, her wish and since then that day has been celebrated as Deepavali.

Naragasuran was destroyed on Chathurdasi Tithi (14 ^thmoonday) in the month of Aipasi. Deepavali has been celebrated on this day since. This year [UTF-8?]â €“ 2009 [UTF-8?]â€“ is an exception. This year Deepavali is being celebrated in the month of Purataasi, not Aipasi .

Thus Deepavali commemorates both the victory of Dharma (good) over adharma (evil) and the great sacrifice of a mother.

But Nagarasuran, the personification of all evil, is alive and well in all of us. He is represented by all the negative qualities inherent in us. He must, therefore, be destroyed, if we are to attainMoksha.

Deepavail is the occasion when we make conscious efforts to destroy the Nagarasuran within us. We can succeed only if, like Nagarasuran's mother, we are willing to make sacrifices.

The Celebration

On the eve of Deepavali, the home must be decorated with oil lamps to symbolise the victory of good over evil. The word deepavali is made up of the words deepam that means lamps and aavali. that means a row. Thus Deepavali means rows of lamps. The four components of an oil lamp have the following significance:

the lamp represents aram (dharma)

the oil represents porul (harta)

the wick represents inbam (kaama)

the flames represent veedu (moksha)

Aaram (virtuous living), porul (wealth), inbam (enjoyment) and veedu (God realisation) are the inherent rights of all men (and of-course women)

Wealth acquired and expended according to dharma will lead us to God.

Extravagance is not dharma . Therefore avoid all expenses incurred to impress relatives, friends and neighbours.

On Deepavali Day we should rise early and take an oil bath in warm water . Gingelly oil and warm water are specified since Mother Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Mother Shakti, the Universal Mother will be present the oil and warm water respectively. Thus applying oil and bathing in warm water will bestow the blessings of both Mother Laxmi and Mother Shakti upon us.

Traditionally, the oil will be applied by the lady of the house, the personification of Mother Laxmi.

After the bath we should put on new clothes. The wearing of new clothes is an important part of Deepavali. Then, we should offer pooja to our family deities at home before seeking the blessings of our parents and other elders.

Then, we should visit the temple and seek the blessings of the Lord. Our efforts to overcome the negative forces that have been with us since birth can be better accomplished with the blessings of God. With His support we cannot fail.

Charity.

Giving alms to the needy is an important part of Deepavali. It is especially auspicious to donate new clothes to the needy. Remember the giving away of used clothes that we have no use for is neither a sacrifice nor dharma.

Ancestor Worship

It is also common to make offerings to our pitirs (ancestors) during Deepavali. This practice probably came about since Deepavali is celebrated on ammavasai day that is dedicated to pitir worship. In time the two events merged into a single celebration.

Remembering and worshiping our ancestors is an important duty of all girihastas (Householders)

Vegetarianism

Another common practise nowadays is the consumption of non-vegetarian food during Deepavali. This is unhindu. Hindus have always been vegetarian on all holy days. Deepavali is no exception.

In fact, there are many reasons why we must observe vegetarianism on Deepavali Day even if we do not believe in Ahmisa . Not only does Deepavali fall on an ammavasai day, on which Hindus normally fast, it also falls on the day after the monthly Shivaratri Pooja , a fast dedicated to Lord Shiva. In addition the following day marks the beginning of the Kantha Sasti Fast- a six day fast dedicated to Lord Muruga.

Hindus always observe vegetarianism on these days. Thus Deepavali cannot be non-vegetarian festival.

This Deepavali thrill your friends with our excellent vegetarian cuisine. Spare the chicken and goats. Let them enjoy Deepavali too. Sacrifice meat-eating!

Non-alcoholism

The consumption of intoxicating liquor is also against our dharma. It is therefore unHindu to consume or even serve liquor. The common excuse that our non-Hindu guests expect it, only exposes our lack of knowledge and commitment towards the basic tenets of our ancient religion.

Our friends must respect our religion just as we respect theirs.

Therefore, this Deepavali serve only soft drinks. Not only is this in conformity with our religion but is also cheaper and healthier.

We Hindus have always taken great pride in the significance of our religious practices especially our fasts and festivals. In keeping with this ancient tradition let us pledge to celebrate this Deepavali bearing in mind that it is an occasion for spiritual upliftment through sacrifice.

This Deepavali let us purify ourselves by sacrificing some, if not all, of our negative qualities. Let us honour our ancient traditions by practising it. Let us also set proper examples for our children and grandchildren to follow. Let us make this Deepavali meatless and liquor free.

Happy Deepavali to all of you!

One day, a son asks his dad "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?". The father says "yes".
And they run their first marathon together.

Another time, the son asks his dad again "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?". The father says "yes son".

One day, the son asks his father " Daddy, would you run the Ironman with me?"
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon ever (4 kms swimming, 180 kms biking, 42 km running)

And the dad says "yes".
The story looks simple until you watch the following clip. Just amazing, how much can love be....

A small touching story..

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.

SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
the man said angrily.

SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?"

DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."

SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you
can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then
you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about
why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this
childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little
boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to
think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
$50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to
the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man.

"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the
$50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry
again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up
at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?

Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
Replace us in a matter of days.

But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the
rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than to our family.

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!!!

Wishing all Mothers in Namma Family a very Happy Mothers' Day!
Come together as we celebrate Mothers' Day together with Mothers from 3 Generations!!
Venue: Blk 506 Bukit Batok Grandma's house at 12pm!

It's a Potluck!!
See you there very sooooon.. :)

Before I was myself you made me, me

With love and patience, discipline and tears,

Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

Allowing me to sail upon my sea,

Though well within the headlands of your fears.

Before I was myself you made me, me

With dreams enough of what I was to be

And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,

Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

Relinquishing your powers gradually

To let me shape myself among my peers.

And being good and wise, you gracefully

As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears

Bit by bit stepped back to set me free.

For love inspires learning naturally

The mind assents to what the heart reveres.

And so it was through love you made me, me

By slowly stepping back to set me free.

A Tribute to our very special Achi Gummo

Life will never be the same without you
In functions, in barbeques, in picnics

No more, will we ever get to indulge in your food,

No more, will we hear your laughter,

No more, will we get chided by you as we tickle you..

Nothing seemed impossible, with you around
From the odd hours for thaipusam and theemithi, to the fun zoo and orchard trips, to long distances to Larkin or Ayer Hitam..

You took care of us like our mother and pampered us like our father
You seemed to us like the best of both worlds
Given a pet name you accepted whole-heartedly, who can ever replace you our dearest Achi Gummo..

This day, Namma family loses a special member
the very essence of our family spirit, right from the kampong days
A bubbly person, full of cheerfulness and lots of love for us all..

And now as you leave us, in all our hearts, a piercing pain
Sadness overwhelms,
leaving tears behind, as your lifestory unfolds
A great life you have lived, a truly wonderful woman you have been..

And now, as you become one with God,

We pray that your soul rests in peace.

Don’t worry about us all, we will definitely make our family proud.

We love you..

~ on behalf of Namma Family

What is home without a mother?

All things I can get in this world,

But when I realise the loss,

I lost my dearest fiesty friend

-Saras (aka Papa)

My dear Perimma,

As I recall my childhood, you were almost every part of it..

Your arms cuddled me, when I was younger..
Your hands held me, taking me along everywhere you went..

You sheltered me during my school holidays..

You brought me to queue for NDP tickets..
You stood by me, when I was teased a blackie..
You supported me, when my grandmothers scolded me..
You believed in me, and I always followed you..

As I grew older, you were always there to encourage me

You were proud of me..

You prepared special weekend breakfast for me..
You spoke so highly of me to your colleagues as we met in NTU..
You were the first person I came riding to when I had just gotten my new bike..
You were also the first person I told that I was going to pursue my Masters overseas..

Because all along I knew, you will always be there for me, with words of encouragement for me, be truly happy for me..

Now that I know I cant see you anymore, I search for your photo, to see your face, once again..
To see the face that always glowed with so much of joy and cheerfulness..

Recollecting the last few words you spoke to me, it will constantly ring in my ears..

Noone can ever replace you..

A very special place in my heart, you will always reside in..
I miss you, so so badly..
I love you perimma..

Hello Everyone!!

It's been 2 weeks now! So far, I've been to Stanford University, California and University of Washington, Seattle....These universities have rich tradition and their buildings are so beautiful...

Among all the corporate visits we had, the Google one was memorable. Their corporate culture was remarkable! Their employees are provided an array of great cuisine for all their meals free! They have a fun environment to work in!

Apart from studies and corporate visits, lots of shopping and fun times make our day here! I just went canoeing in the Union Lake at Seattle yesterday. We went to premium outlets today for shopping. Great place to shop!

I'm having fun now. Sometimes I wish you guys were here and we could hang out together and have fun! So glad brother is organising a short trip for us cousins soon! We'll have fun manz!

2007-09-10T14:36:00.001+08:00

To my wonderful family out there,

Firstly, Happy Birthday Muthu! Hope you had great fun and wish you all the best!

It has been a week since I left Singapore..I arrived on 2nd Sept afternoon at San Francisco, California...Stayed in Sunnyvale till friday, 8th sept..Maple Tree Inn was the place we put up in. And Dharshi, I think i left my CHI hair treatment in that room! So sad....

California was nice, the weather, the atmosphere, the people and all. I miss the 24hr Safeway supermarket. Gigantic place with a dine-in area. There's where we hangout every night(rather midnite). Chocolate muffin, Haagen Daaz or Ben n Jerry's were a definite daily intake. We crapped and talked alot before returning back to our rooms. The last night we hang out there, we were taking crazy photos. Since it was like 2am, we went to the middle of the road and took a shot. I took a shot with firemen, and nearly called a policeman too..and my frens called me crazy girl! We also had the chance of helping a man push his car that couldnt start!

On the more serious note, I visited many corporations in the Silicon Valley. Google, IDEO, Sazzle, Rosum, Wallup and a few venture capitalists in that valley. We had lesson and talks at Stanford University for a day and that place is awesome. Simply beautiful. Stanford is the 2nd best uni in the USA for its undergraduate programs and 4th best for its post graduate programs.

On friday I arrived here at Seattle, Washington. Lessons officially starts on mon. We are lagging behind Singapore by 15 hours. On Friday I met Patrick, a PhD student from University of Washington, who is attached to my group for our Business Plan Competition. He brought us on a tour around UW.

We all went for mountain trekking at Mount Rainier last saturday. It was such a wonderful experience and we played with snow at the top of the mountains. Splendid scenic shots I have taken. Today is sunday and I went to Pike's Place Fish Market. It is a world famous fish market where they take pride in serving the customers with joy and laughter. They throw their catches around singing songs together and enjoy taking photos with customers. After which we walked to Chinatown in Seattle then the Space Needle tower that is the landmark of Seattle.

Photos of Saturday's (2nd Sept) bowling outing, together with shots of Pratheeb's 18th Bdae celebrations with us after bowling! Kenna saboed! hahahha....

Yo! yo! ?Our full strength for bowling... Enjoy the many poses of our star bowlers! hahaha....

More such fun gatherings coming up! Stay tuned my beloved family! Love you all...

2007-09-03T17:16:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday's bowling session was awesome! Kudos to Aunt Suppama who showed a major improvement by the end of the game and played so well and eventually beat her opponent, (I was the poor thing)....haha...Way to go Aunt! And ofcourse, not forgetting our top scorer, Gayathrie who was at the beginning fiercely threatened by her team captain, Raj brother, who was also repeatedly targetting to replace her with Gabby!!! She eventually emerged from 'Lonkang Queen' to one of the top scorers of the day! Cheers Babe!! Rock on!

The birthday celebrations for Pratheeb that followed after the bowling session was super funny! You guys should have seen how Raj bro and Letchu were running after Pratheeb who was trying to escape from the birthday 'sabo'! Happy 18th birthday to our beloved brother Pratheeb! We always love you and continue to outshine dear brother! Wish you all the best!

The photos coming up soon!

Well, that was the last outing we had before I bade farewell to all of you, my wonderful family! I'm now in San Francisco and the time here is 2.30am, 3rd Sept. I just reached here 12 hours ago. We are lagging behind by a day. Feel like a zombie coz of the jet-lag..But the weather is nice, cool and breezy.. Now to share with you some of the photos...

Farewelll to all! That's a scenic view of Dawn -a shot taken from the plane..
