I listened to this again and again and lost track how many times I did. The song is "Thalaiyai Kuniyum Thamaraiye" from movie "Oru Odai Nadhiyagirathu" set in Rithigowlai carnatic Raga from Ilaiyaraja. Sung by SPB and Rajeswari. Here is some interesting information about some other movie songs set in the <a href="http://kulambiyagam.blogspot.com/2008/07/reethigowlai.html"> same raga here. </a><br /><br />You can watch this song in Youtube:<br /> <object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/StH2QX65Ws0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/StH2QX65Ws0&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object><br /><br />Lovely picturization too -- Gentle performance by Raguvaran.

It turned out to be very interesting reading packed with wisdom and knowledge. If you are ever intrigued with the subject of Ayurveda, I highly recommend this one. You can find a nice review of this book here: <a href="http://www.vedicbooks.net/prakruti-your-ayurvedic-constitution-p-460.html">http://www.vedicbooks.net/prakruti-your-ayurvedic-constitution-p-460.html</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3298419029424827009-6563389548016089372?l=thavamuni.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thava Alaguhttps://profiles.google.com/106617469996006274837noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298419029424827009.post-52506727543773492302008-03-15T15:33:00.000-07:002008-03-15T17:17:51.338-07:00I read this article from <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev</span>, very interesting one.<br />It is here:<br /><br /><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Speaking_Tree/The_Secret_Of_Nurturing_Beautiful_Relationships/articleshow/2536657.cms"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Speaking_Tree/The_Secret_Of_Nurturing_Beautiful_Relationships/articleshow/2536657.cms</span></a><br /><br />Few years back, I &amp; my sister had attended his 5-days Yoga course at Chennai. It was a pleasure listening to him talking. Great insights, great control over his ideas and language.<br />He is probably the far most crowd pulling living Guru during public talks in Tamil Nadu. His 2003 talk at Marina beach, chennai attracted around 120000 people.<br /><br />One thing I really like from this generation of Gurus such as <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Sri Sri Ravishankar and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev</span> is their <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">inclusiveness of women</span> into spirituality. They equally encourage women to get involved, teach courses as well. It is high time we stop the intellectual oppression that our sisters have been subjected to by telling them they are not smart enough for spiritual matters. Things are changing-- Spirituality is for every one -- men, women, young or old. It has become even fashionable to have a perspective in spirituality and get involved in social activities and in the process, celebrate our life with joy. Now, spirituality can be fun and can fill the void in you. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">To be spiritual no longer means self denial</span>, on the contrary, it is a matter of <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">celebrating life without guilt</span><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">.</span> That is also a core of Art of Living's founder Sri Sri Ravishankar's message -- Be Joyful and celebrate life -- You are at your best when you are happy and be peace with yourself. As they say, both Joy and misery is infectious, so you choose.<br /><br />Last, but not the least, Yoga promotes vegetarianism. I have witnessed many people, through practicing of meditation and yoga, realize over the period of time they are much better off sticking to vegetarian diet-- more conducive to intellectual and physical health.<br /><br />Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev's main ashram is located near Coimbatore.<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">See <a href="http://www.ishafoundation.org/">http://www.ishafoundation.org</a></span><br /><br /><span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3298419029424827009-5250672754377349230?l=thavamuni.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thava Alaguhttps://profiles.google.com/106617469996006274837noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298419029424827009.post-47203269933187609782007-04-07T15:58:00.000-07:002007-04-07T16:57:31.352-07:00You are welcome here, folks, just feel at home.
