Lizard theory...

Did you know that in Hindu tradition there is a belief that the touch of lizard is an indication of something.

Infact there is a famous temple in Varadaraja Swamy temple in Kanchipuram, Tamilnadu (The temple has awesome architecture and is a very sacred and historic temple) where there are two lizard idols engraved in Gold and Silver. Makeshift ladders permit devotees to touch the lizard. Here is an image of the same.

 Devotees believe that touching the lizard in this sanctified chamber absolves them from the sin of previously hurting lizards; it also protects them from future harm by lizards. People from various places throng to this temple to touch these two lizard idols.

You want to know what happens if any one touches a lizard in real life. Here are some of the indications.

Verse on SPB on his demise - Dated: 28th Sep 2020

సంగీత ఝరి.. ఎటువంటి ఝరికి అయినా, దానికి స్వరూపం ఇచ్చేది దానికి ఉన్న అవధులు, అవే లేకపోతే, ఝరి అనంతమైపోయి ఉనికిని కోల్పోతుంది. మన తెలుగు పాటలకు, ఒక నా లాంటి సామాన్యుడు పాడుకో గలిగే తెలుగు పాటల ఝరికి ఒక అవధి, బాల సుబ్రహ్మణ్యం గారు. ఈ అవధి, ఒక అడ్డంకి లా కాకుండా, ఈ ప్రవాహానికి ఒక సారూప్యం ఇచ్చింది. గత కొన్ని దశాబ్దాలుగా తెలుగు పాట రూపు, బాల సుబ్రహ్మణ్యం గారు లేకుండా ఊహించుకోవడం కూడా కష్టమే. “స”, “ప” లు జనరంజకమవ్వాలంటే భాష మరియు భావాల “బ”లిమి కలవాలి అని, “SPB” ని అమ్మవారే మనకి అనుగ్రహించారు. ఆయన స్ఫురణే ఈ ఝరికి స్ఫూర్తి!! ఆ మహానుభావుడికి ఇదే నా పదాంజలి!! - వంగర శ్రీరాం

Is marriage a license to satisfy bodily desires? Is marriage a provision to acquire a partner for lifetime? Does marriage really act like an agreement between two mutually adjustible parties? Or is it that one of the members comprimises and is forced to comply? Our religious scriptures say that marriage is an activity for the culmination of two bodies eventually to give birth to children. The clause is raising children. As I mentioned earlier, this explanation itself was enough to justify the marriage system. Earlier People had patience and belief in the system. Every one would abide by the existing practices in the society. Yester years have gone by and every one knows the ground reality, and we are still planning to marry. And marriage has become synonymous for one to be assumed as sane. ( Has it? ). On a more personal front... I believe I owe everything to parents, coz, my existence itself is because of them. So to take care of them is my duty. When I have a very broad vision or a p...
