it just struck me -- they are not calling it adam's bridge to suck up to christists, but to suck up to mohammedans! because adam, like all the other semitic mythology, is acceptable to mohammedans too. silly me.
now i wonder why this is not done in reverse. (actually we all know why.) there is a place in gujarat where a bump in the earth is called 'allah bund'. let's get karunanidhi to say he wants to call it the 'EV Ramaswamy Naicker bund'. the mohammedans, after all, per karunanidhi logic, don't have any proof that allah exists.

karuna-illa-nidhi has just comitted his biggest faux pas in his 50 year old career, that was marked by obnoxious anti hinduism under the guise of rationalism .His 'eminent' achievements during his 50 year 'yeoman service' towards tamil people include such acts like hijacking and vilifying tamil hindu culture, propagating half lies and blatant racist ideals based on colonial interpretations of myths in a literal way, denying deserving students access to higher educational institutions under the guise of social upliftment of sections of the sciety,selective classification and vilification of 'aryan' gods, belligerence and condescension towards neighboring states , supporting divisive anti india elements to gain electoral votes, and lastly , trying to replace the hindu underpinnings of the tamil society with his perverted periyarism.. All these efforts have resulted in unfortunate consequences . yet his ideology has only had changes skin deep and soon he and his ideology will be relegated to the dustbin of history. lets hope better sense prevails in the future politicans and they unroot the poisionous weed that has ovegrown ..
I just stumbled across the following Times of India article:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Ram_enmity_central_to_Dravidian_politics/articleshow/2388221.cms
These guys are quoting some "S Varadan, a Sanskrit professor" who says:
"There are references in Ramayan about Ram eating meat and drinking wine. After crossing over to Lanka, when Hanuman meets Sita, he informs her that 'now a deeply worried and agonised Ram, since your disappearance, has stopped eating meat and drinking madhu'.''
Can anybody please validate if this is in fact written in the Ramayana? Or is it another tacit way for ToI to hit Hindus below the belt?
Personally, I am not a vegetarian activist and would not be surprised if Kshatriyas used to eat meat esp when in forest.. Swami Vivekananda - a Kayastha by birth - nor Ramakrishna mission in general do not insist on vegetarianism.. in fact to quote Swami Gautamananda, President of RK Math Chennai
http://www.sriramakrishnamath.org/magazine/vk/2002/12-3-4.asp
Food and Happiness: Food is an important thing in man's happiness. Swamiji advises us on it as follows: 'Some regulations regarding food are necessary to make it conducive to pure thoughts.' But fanaticism in food choices--vegetarian or non-vegetarian or eggetarian--should be eschewed. After a slight rise in spiritual life, any food, vegetarian or non-vegetarian, which one is habituated to from his early childhood should be good for that aspirant. Swamiji advises that meat-eating cannot be outright condemned in the face of the glaring evidence that among the meat eating Kshatriyas are the authors of Upanishads, Râma, Krishna, Buddha, Tirthankaras, etc. And also the majority of the followers of all major religions are meat eaters. 'Can we say with reason that the whole lot of them are bad or are condemned by God from Moksha?'6 But Swamiji also declares that for a sannyasin, vegetarian food would be better. 'To eat meat is surely barbarous and vegetable food is certainly purer... for one whose one end (of life) is to lead solely a spiritual life.'7
AND...
I must also quote what Stephen Knapp thinks about the specific case of Rama
http://www.stephen-knapp.com/vegetarianism_recommended_in_Vedic_scripture.htm
THE QUESTION OF WHETHER LORD RAMA ATE MEAT IN THE RAMAYANA
Sometimes the idea comes up that the Ramayana indicates that Lord Rama ate meat, especially while He was in exile in the woods. However, there is no verse in Valmiki’s Ramayana that establishes that Lord Rama, Lakshmana or Sita ate meat while in or even out of exile. In fact, it seems to show that He very much disliked the notion of eating meat. The evidence for this is as follows:
The verse that comes in question in this regard in the Valmiki Ramayana, Sundarakanda, Skanda 36, Sloka 41, says: “Na mamsam Raghava bhunkte, na chaiva madhu sevate, Vanyam suvihitam nityam bhaktamsnati panchamam.”
The literal translation of this verse is: “Sri Rama does not take meat or honey. He partakes everyday of wild fruits and boiled (wild) rice fully sanctioned (for an ascetic) in the evening.”
Faulty English translations have put it as something like this: Hanuman to Sita, “When you were away, Sri Rama did not even take deer meat.” This incorrectly implies that Rama normally may have ate meat but did not do so while Sita was away from Him.
Now in this verse, the Sanskrit word bhunkte is a verb that means strong desire for eating. It comes from the Sanskrit bhaksha, which means voracious eating. When you say Na bhunkte, as we see in the line that says “Na mamsam Raghava bhunkte”, it gives a complete negative connotation, meaning that Lord Rama abhorred meat-eating. On the other hand, if the words were “Na mamsam Raghavo khadate”, it could then mean that Raghava may have engaged in meat eating before, but had stopped it at this point. However, this is not what is said, but is where some English translations present a similar confusion, or are simply unclear about this issue. Nonetheless, by analyzing the correct view of the proper translation, it indicates clearly that the Valmiki Ramayana shows how Lord Rama not only did not eat meat, but greatly disliked it.
and by the way, for the word "madhu" from spokensanskrit.de dictionary ....
मधु madhu adj. agreeable
मधु madhu adj. pleasant
मधु madhu adj. sweet
मधु madhu n. honey
Liquor is madya or magha or suraapaana
-----------------
lol, Karunanidhi must have said that after having a couple of bottles himself ....
Karunanidhi & Baalu are now singing carols of "economic development" to justify their adamant pursuit of the RamSetu's destruction and their naked denigration of Hinduism.
And these are the neanderthals who contested the last Tamil Nadu assembly elections on a promise of free tv's to voters! My assertion that the secular media is deaf/dumb/blind is proven by their failure to question and nail the dravidians on the free TV's and for obstructing privatisation of the inefficient, bankrupt public sector undertaking, Neyveli Lignite Corporation.
Take a look at this :
"Neanderthal's daughter claims he was quoted out of context"
http://www.dailypioneer.com/indexn12.asp?main_variable=front%5Fpage&file_name=story4%2Etxt&counter_img=4
I have my suspicions that the
head neanderthal is attempting to emulate that supreme dravidian idiot, Periyar who had advocated a demand for "Dravidistan". Perhaps, he senses mortality is near and wants do be remembered by his followers for his "immortal" dravidian piety.
The climate under Shikhandi MMS and christist Sonia is certainly opportune for such seditious activity.
Anyone remember the JAIN Commission of Inquiry - that investigated Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. The Dravidians were implicated of collaboration with the LTTE terrorists in that conspiracy.
Sonia is certainly following the tradition of a turncoat Mafiosi's wife by allying with her husband's murderers.
