One Fine day we visited SkyWalk Chennai: a shopping mall. As soon we entered the mall, we noticed, a man seems to be a Sadhu(Sanyasi) with long beard and long hair wearing saffron color dress sitting at the entrance. He was prompting something now and then seems to be a “Akhanda Nama Japa”(chanting a mantra incessantly without break, day in and day out). For passers-by, he was an awe.My eyes focused on that man. I met him somewhere: my mind prompted. I tried to recollect the place and people I traveled and met from my childhood. "Eureka!" "Eureka!" "Eureka!" I knew that man, He is Appu Kuttan. It had been a long time I did not hear anything about him. I really got astonished the way he had changed and the luster comes from his face and his body. But how could the same Appu Kuttan changed that much was a mystery for me then. Long back, he showed me his profile while applying for a labour work. His Profile flashed over my mind then ....
Resume’
Objective/Goal: To become the Prime Minister(PM) Of India.
Name: Appu Kuttan
Date Of Birth: 01/ Jan/1973
Educational Qualification: 4th Standard 4 times attempted and 5th time passed.
Hobbies: Appreciate and Praise Beautiful Things.
Activities:
Morning 8-10 am---Available infront of Womens College
Evening 5-8 pm----In and around temples premises.
10am-5pm---Bus Stations.
Mobile Number: ********* Available anytime
Professional Qualification: Will have in the future.
Achievements: A large amount of Petty Cases in Police record.
I really got astonished with his Bio-Data. The Objective was irrelevant to the job he was applying for. He answered me, one should project oneself infront of the interviewer, more than that, if he desired to become PM then only he would get that Job(that was his ideology). Next , my eyes stopped at his educational qualification level. How he passed his 4th standard 5th time without attempting. Appu Kuttan, passed a confident smile on his face and as a proud man he said. While entered for the 5th time to write the examination, the teacher came to him and cried infront of him and requested in low and humble voice “My Dear Appu Kutta, kindly sign at respective places and follow me. This time you will pass”. Appu Kuttan as an obedient student followed teacher till the door step after signing all the places where teacher asked him to sign. After that , teacher told Appu Kuttan do not follow her and teacher went back. The teacher did not want to say “Get Out” to Appu Kuttan, who was a highly experienced and respectable and most senior person in 4th standard. But, the humble Appu Kuttan waited for teacher till the examination time got over. He met teacher after the examination time and she told Appu Kuttan, this time you would pass. But Please Please Please, do not enter school premises. Teacher also promised that If she had any doubt in 4th standard subjects , she would call Appu Kuttan. After that incident, somehow Appu Kuttan wanted to be engaged, so he started his ACTIVITIES as in his profile. Mean while Appu Kuttan improved his analytical and logic skills by counting number of Ladies/Women coming to temple. In the long run, he found that every year there was a drastic decrease in the number of Ladies coming to temple. Appu Kuttan lost his interest in his ACTIVITIES. But, he was curious to know, why there was a drastic decrease in the head count of Ladies to temples. After that he traveled most of the Indian States to find the reason for the same and meanwhile he found a guru to practice some Yoga lessons. When he found the reason that, most of the Ladies/Women were now visiting Shopping Mall instead of temples in the evenings, Appu Kuttan really got furious. They invited Appu Kuttan’s loathe. Appu Kuttan still thinks, these shopping malls made his activities to stop. He was leading a simple life at his home town to his best of punctuality. That was the reason for Appu Kuttan to be infront of SkyWalk.
I had seen he was making his stomach up and down, it seemed to be a yogic activities. Then he was crossing his legs behind the head. I thought loudly “well done !!! Appu Kuttan …You are the real hero ...teaching the world …how to survive with enthusiasm and energetic ...I am a big fan of You". I reached him with admiration and called loudly “Appu Kutta”. Do you remember me??? Appu Kuttan’s Face became so reddish and Pale. I did not know why his face became pale? Was that I knew about his Past or the Way I called his name in that open place. As an answer to my question, some foreigner came and touched his feet and revered him “ His Holiness” . I understood his position. I called him with great reverence “His Holiness A.P. Kuttan”. Whoever came after me called him as “His Holiness A.P.Kuttan”. Then, Appu Kuttan became proud of that name(Sorry His Holiness A.P Kuttan). He spend some time with me and told me he was on a fast to achieve something. I enquired him how long he had been on fast. He replied, it was the Tenth month. First he started his fasting with some Agendas, Then he realized, he could not continue his fasting without Air Conditioning(AC) since the climate was making him so dehydrated. After that, he fasted for the doors nearby he was sitting at Mall to open so that he would get AC. Then, he realized, he need some food and rest. So he made his fasting to agitate thousands so that, he would be arrested and put him in jail. When I met him, he had finished all those journey. Then , again he was back with all his agendas.
Agenda Number 1) Thousands of Ladies/Women who had been attracted my shopping mall should come back to Temples Premises at Evening times.
Agenda Number 2) If they were not willing, then all the shopping malls and cinemas should move to near to Temple Premises.
His agenda went like that as a long list of recipe. What I felt hearing all those is He was leading a Third Freedom Struggle, Since he wanted to save all men because, the expenses of men also increased drastically since thousands of Ladies/Women moved to visit Shopping Mall. Basically “His Holiness A.P Kuttan” is fighting for all those younger generation from degrading and holding them from brain drain.
When I was leaving him, I was caught in many thoughts about “His Holiness” future. At least I was sure he would get a seat in the nearby election and must become down the line the “Prime Minister Of India”. May be the day is not far to be called him “His Highness A.P.K(?) ”

Defamation: Is It Destined?
Everything in this world happens with perfect designed and in an organized way. There is a pattern at which everything happens around us. If we found out that pattern, that would make our life very smoother. This is true with DEFAMATION too. I am trying to delineate the way defamation acts on people in its own pattern. First let it be a fable of a dog: Ceasar which explains the way defamation patter acts on us and then the reasons for it.How to overcome the evil effect of defamation is upon the us once we know the reasons for the same.
Once a man happened to visit a home, where they had a pet named Ceasar. Everybody loved Ceasar because of its loyalty to its owner and the way it had been trained. As usual, Ceasar also kept its boundaries for strangers and will bark at them whoever crosses that. This man did not liked the way Ceasar barked at him and he got insulted and basically he did not have any attachment to pets. He talked with the householders his purpose of his visit and talked nicely and praised about their Ceasar more than anybody would do. Later he went out to the next shop and say about the dog behaviour as unusal. He also emphasized that he had seen many dogs and he himself has many dogs, however, he slandered that dog had the characteristics of a mad dog. Everybody did the way the stanger did and dog bark at them. Everybody confirmed the dog was mad and thought of killing him even though the householders could not protect it, since majority were against the Ceasar now. This is known as "Calling the dog mad and kicking it nicely till it die". As long as the Ceasar were to be nice, the stranger could not do any revenge on it. Better thing is make the dog mad and then do whatever he wanted. He succeeded in that. Actually the owner of the dog had trained the Ceasar in a particular way and only the stranger could understood and observed it and the Ceasar had been caught.
Usually defamation happens due to mainly three reasons. Primarly, the statement is the result of anger, jealousy, resentment, grudges, quarrels, ill-will or other conflict between us and the person making the statement. A Mangalore Girl who had been scoring good in academically and top in extracurricular activities had been cheated by her own friends and posted a morphed video of her in the network and spreaded like a wild fire and got defamed. This Defamation caused by Libel. She is all alone stuggling to come out of it. When we are doing a smooth sail in our life, these type of merciless incident takes its turn. There is another incident which happened with a priest in Bangalore, where people called him mad and after 35 years of his suffering the court verdict said, he was perfectly a normal person. This is caused by defamation due to slander. Another incident happened, where a teacher commited suicide just people spread rumours that there is an unethical relation between the teacher and the boy. Though that has been clarified by people at later stage that teacher was innocent , by then she was dead. There are many way defamation takes its turn, however the pattern is mostly of the pet Ceaser.
Secondly, self publishing a defamatory statements which the other person has told us to mend our actions. suppose your boss brings you into his or her office and informs you that you are no longer needed because he suspects that you are a drinker and he states that he does not regard you as competent in your work. Suppose further that your employer makes these comments only to your direct manager, and repeats these comments to no one outside the company. Suppose after your boss informs you of these "facts," you feel compelled to tell your fellow employees what has happened to you. After all, everyone wants to know. Under these circumstances the employee himself publishes the defamatory statements.
Thirdly, the relation between the supervisor and employee is not going well. Mostly, in such scenario, It may not be a direct statement. Such case, when the supervisor or the employer talk about such employee to other employees in the same company or to a prospective new employer a gestures, or tone of voice, or a raising of an eyebrow which could make a misreprentation. The listener make to believe something untruthful or misleading about the employee. This would have a longstanding derogartory remark on him and damage him totally.
We have education, knowledge, experience and wisdom. Still we do not know we have the right to protect our reputation much stronger than anything else. Defamation may be caused by a false attack of another’ss statement or action on our character or our self image created over a long period of time which may be verbally or non-verbally. This would cause hatred, contempt, disgrace upon us from the very society we live. Moreover, would cause an blackmark in our occupation too. When we reapeat a lie ten times , that is supposed to believe as truth and could not be found the original source of such slanders which makes the society believe we lack integrity, honesty, incompetence, or that we possess other reprehensible personal characteristics.
Though current mantra seems to be “If character is lost, nothing is lost; if wealth is lost everything is lost”; we should still believe the importance of our character and personality transcends any other measure of success of our existence. Here is the dictum we should strongly believe in and remember in our day to day life.
"If wealth is lost, nothing is lost. If health is lost, something is lost. But, if character is lost, everything is lost."

Vedehika You Have Been Exposed…...
A person sometimes happens to be very gentle, very humble, and very quiet as long as unpleasant things do not touch him. It is only when unpleasant things happen to a person that it is known whether he is truly gentle, humble, and quiet. And verily, people with gentleness, humbleness and very quiet, would always under test in every step of their life till the end of his/her life. Only people who are really strive and are steadfast would succeed these type of test. This would make, the person under the test a very strong and very very courageous if he has really those good qualities. Otherwise, whole his/her reputation would be spoiled and rumours spread across and we prove ourselves we do not deserve the respect. Here I would like to share one such unrighteousness which would spoil our whole life: ANGER, through the story of Vedehika followed by the effect of it in our day to day life .
Vedehika had a maid named Kali. She always wondered about the kindness, forgiveness and the piety of her mistress. One day she decided to test her mistress. She started going to work late purposefully. For a few days, vedehika said nothing, then, she lost her cool and exploded. Kali smiled inwardly. She had hit the targer. That was what she wanted to know. Vedehika does get angry. Her calm and forgiving nature was just an act. Kali apologized and promised that she would come on time in future. But she did not keep her promise. Kali continued late going. Now vedehika started rebuking her and using abusive language. It pleased Kali to see the ugly face of her mistress. She was not satisfied with it. She wanted to see the limit of the anger, of her mistress and to expose her before others. Her wish was fulfilled soon. One day, when she arrived late as usual, she found her mistress shaking with anger. Her face had become dark and ugly. The sight of Kali filled her with rage and hatred. Vedehika in a fit of anger, picked up a stick and began to beat Kali. The blows hurt Kali. Her head cracked and blood spurted out. She chased her with stick in her hand. Kali screamed and screamed where the crowd gathered. The people were shocked to see Vedehika in such ugly mood. Kali had succeeded in exposing the game of Vedehika. The opinion of the people at once changed. Now, for them. Vedehika was a short tempered, foulmouthed and quarrelsome shrew. Her beauty lost all the shine.
This story was told to Maulean Faggun by Buddha, When Faggun started teasing nuns with obvious intentions and speak abusive language. When Faggun became a bad publicity for Buddhism, Buddha corrected him with this story and Faggun became an ideal monk.
In our day to day life, people get angry in their workplace and rumours would spread as if it happened with Faggun, however there is no Buddha to correct them. Even, if another Buddha or any Spiritual Leaders comes, we have already digged a lot of ditches so that they would not be in a position to help us.Careful!!! Careful!!! Careful!! We have to help ourselves. There was an incident a few years ago, a Lady worked for a Newspaper behaved angrily with her boss and she had no options but to resign and nobody was ready to take her and later she shift the work place from South India to North India for the similar kind of Job. Everybody got the wrong impression of her. I know few incidents in other companies, where, they do a different approach to create a scenario to make a person very very angry to expose his/her ugly face. Later it may affect their jobs.
Everything happens in this world relatively: how the other object is relative to us, what is it in for me, is that I am a beneficiary. That is reflected in all our thoughts, words and actions in our day to day life. When we are upset by other people's words or actions, we will get angry. Angry people usually justify their anger, saying it's someone else's fault they are angry. When we give in to anger, we often focus on our own welfare, comfort or happiness. Instead, we should be primarily concerned about other people’s welfare and being a good witness for God.
Whenever I am angry, I am also terribly unhappy. Anger is an extremely painful state – perhaps the most painful of all human emotions. It can cause us to treat those we love with contempt. It can cause us to drive away those who love us. It can force us into an agonizing isolation. It can make us completely irrational and self-absorbed. At times, it can even make us believe that violence is justified.
When someone insults us or behaves violently towards us, we have to be intelligent enough to see that the person suffers from his own violence and anger. But we tend to forget. We think that we are the only one that suffers, and that the other person is our oppressor. This is enough to make anger arise, and to strengthen our desire to punish. We want to punish the other person because we suffer. Then, we have anger in us; we have violence in us, just as they do. When we see that our suffering and anger are no different from their suffering and anger, we will behave more compassionately. So understanding the other is understanding ourself, and understanding ourself is understanding the other person. Everything must begin within us.
Do we know the thing which most commonly brings people into Paradise? It is fear to God and good character. Do we know what most commonly brings people into hell? It is the two hollow things: the mouth and the private parts.

My Chappal: Made In Kunnamkulam
One fine day, I had seen an advertisement in a newspaper:"Kunnamkulam Chappal For Sale: We have no branches. Reach Us at our direct outlet". They advertised the rare feature of the chappal was that there would not be any gravitational force acting on our body , so that we would always float in the air. I thought it would be a new experience and could fly with my GIRL on the sky. What a romantic scene that would be!!! All my hairs stood on its edge. I started day dreaming of all the possibilities of fun with my GIRL using thas chappal. So I also bought it …..
Some years back, I was enthusiastically wearing my Kunnamkulam Chappal and got into reservation coach of Indian Railway, just to come out at the same speed and got into that highly expensive ordinary compartment. I have been maintaining a very good and long relation with Indian Railway. Whenever , I reserve the ticket in sleeper coach or higher, I may have to travel in Ordinary Class. I would be practicing different yoga postures from the time I start my travel till reach the destination in this highly expensive coach. Do not ever think we will be able to practice Shava Asana(Relaxation Posture) through out the journey. As Soon as I enter the coach I would be doing Surya Namaskar to get the seat from person to person. Mostly, while sleeping I would be in Sarvanga Asana (The shoulder Stand) or Hala Asana (Plough Posture). By mistake, if I got seat in reservation coach, then there will be hundreds of problem. Then you may ask, “G, Do you always book your ticket?”. No Dude, I would do that whenever I have a tendency to do mistakes.
People in that compartment were wearing chappals Made In USA, Made In Japan, Made In Korea, Made In Singapore etc etc etc……However, I was the only one wearing Made In Kunnamkulam. I wanted to make them so jelousy, so I proudly march past showing my Kunnamkulam Chappal. People in this compartment, generally, to keep their chappal safe, keep them on the seat, if they are sitting on the top where the space is provided for luggage. That did not occur to me then, that would have made me what I was not. I put it somewhere down the seat before getting into the top. Because of my Kunnamkulam chappal, I got my Sarvanga Asana disturbed, and kept on wake up and see if my chappal was there down. Somewhere in the middle, I was in Hala Asana and by the time I reached the station in the morning, my chappal was missing. That was the first time, I had to walk without the chappal in the public and my aim was to somehow come out of the station. That was the first experience of the kind and I was so humiliated. I had to catch a taxi to reach the destination paying more than 1000 rupees.
I learned a few lessons from this travel:
1)If some beggar ask you money, give them, otherwise you may have to pay for it.
2)Behave according to situation. If you traveling in highly expensive ordinary class in Indian Railway, do the same thing what others are doing with their chappal. What majority says and do is always right.
However, the pathetic thing is, I still keep my chappal down the seat. I think luck will not favour the beggars always.
NOTE: This is just an exaggerated story.

Breathe Breathe Breathe …..Mantras
I thought of Writing an article "My Chappal: Made In Kunnamkulam" this time. However, due to request from some blog readers, I have to write an article which is of the same line as that of the last article. So this time too… it is bit of spiritual touch. Excuse me!!!! Excuse me!!!! Excuse me!!!! if it is not relevant to you.
Sea Turtle emerges unto shore and lays her eggs in the sand during breeding season and return to the sea. She would not be around to see her babies hatch. However, it do think about its eggs when it would hatch always in remembrance. As soon as the baby turtles comes out of the eggs, it would scramble immediately to sea for the safety of the sea. Similarly, we should always remember God, along with our daily chore as the Sea Turtle's remembrance of eggs. People may say it is difficult or impossible. There is nothing wrting here which I have not practised. Is that ten minutes prayer or pranayama is enough for that long term association with Him. You may be right !!!!! Human beings always shows a tendency to go to the place where he comes(That is called Salvation) and he always in search of that absolute truth like the sea turtle's return to sea or the baby turtles natural inclination to go to sea as soon as it comes out from the broken eggs. That is the state of human being. We are spiritual. If we disconnected from our original source (His Kingdom) then we are a big Zero. Just by remembering Him there is a one added before Zero and that becomes a value. Now, just by that, our most wishes must be fulfilled. Sometimes, even before we make our wish, it may get fulfilled. In the last article, I mentioned about long term association with Him. This article is all about how to establish communication with God through breathe and it is a different approach through which effect of Mantras could be magnified which I have been practising for long time.
God is all around us, all the time, in the very air we breathe. When the breathe wanders the mind also is unsteady. But when the breathe is calmed the mind too will be still, and the human beings achieves long life. Therefore, one should learn to control the breathe. In addition to chanting mantras, we should learn how to take it through breathe too. This would act as a catalyst to the mantras. When we do this, we would always be in touch with Him and we would feel he is not far.
There are multitudes of mantras freely available around us some of them must have a side reaction on us. That is the reason, we should always try these experiments with Swatik mantras(Swatik Mantras are which gives Peace and Harmony which also fulfill all our wishes in long term) which will not have any side effect and mostly people chant this mantras. There are certain Bija's which will be added to the above Mantras to increase the power of mantra like: Aim, Gam, Kleem, Hreem, Saum. Not all Beejas would go along with the above said Mantras. We should not spare any free time other than controlling our breathe. I do this while travelling and sleeping and walking. People sometime think I am sleeping . Breathing is the greatest pleasure I ever had. Breath is my spirit and I am getting the feeling of PRESENT through Breathing which is only I thing I am sure about. There is not a mantra I have missed to experiment through my breathing other than some mantras which may cause difficulties for my own existence and for my predecessors or to the next generation. Just experiment by any of the Swatik mantra while inhale and exhale we will get immense pleasure. We may use any Mantra as we wish as our religion says . However, make sure it should be of Swatik Mantras. There are only two restrictions while remembering through breathe, Eat Well and Sleep Well. God is not bothered about how many Agarbathi's we offered him or how many times ceremonial bells has been sounded or how many time we chant mantra or how many times we have been to temple. He is utmost bothered about how much we have taken initiation and commitment to clean our heart so that He may reside in our heart. In totality, He touch our heart and reside. It is better to accustomed to Swatik Food(Purely Vegetarian) to get fast result of this "Breathe Breathe Breathe …..Mantras" . Everybody is Vegetarian in one way or the other. Some people unconsciously put chicken leg into it. Some consciously would not put chicken leg into it. We are talking about latter type of food habit, who consciously would not put any such thing into vegetables.
Below is the quote from Nicephorus the Solitary
" You know that our breathing is the inhaling and exhaling of air. The organ that serves for this is the lungs that lie round the heart, so that the air passing through them thereby envelops the heart. Thus breathing is a natural way to the heart. And so, having collected your mind within you, lead it into the channel of breathing through which air reaches the heart and, together with this inhaled air, force your mind to descend into the heart and to remain there."

Sea Turtle emerges unto shore and lays her eggs in the sand during breeding season and return to the sea. She would not be around to see her babies hatch. However, it do think about its eggs when it would hatch always in remembrance. As soon as the baby turtles comes out of the eggs, it would scramble immediately to sea for the safety of the sea. Similarly, we should always remember God, along with our daily chore as the Sea Turtle's remembrance of eggs. People may say it is difficult or impossible. There is nothing wrting here which I have not practised. Is that ten minutes prayer or pranayama is enough for that long term association with Him. You may be right !!!!! Human beings always shows a tendency to go to the place where he comes(That is called Salvation) and he always in search of that absolute truth like the sea turtle's return to sea or the baby turtles natural inclination to go to sea as soon as it comes out from the broken eggs. That is the state of human being. We are spiritual. If we disconnected from our original source (His Kingdom) then we are a big Zero. Just by remembering Him there is a one added before Zero and that becomes a value. Now, just by that, our most wishes must be fulfilled. Sometimes, even before we make our wish, it may get fulfilled. In the last article, I mentioned about long term association with Him. This article is all about how to establish communication with God through breathe and it is a different approach through which effect of Mantras could be magnified which I have been practising for long time.

Theists For You....(Indian Edition)
I did not know religion before I got a form. I was totally not responsible to born in a particular Religion, Cast or for that matter into a particular Culture .These are all man made for our own spiritual progress, however for the same we are making all the fuss about. Those who love God loves everybody. However, I am confidently say, It was totally my choice to select my Mother and enter into the womb(How we enter into the womb is out of this article's scope.). In Crux, everybody chooses their Parents. Everything changes as the time pass by and we forgot the past. Since all religion lead to the ultimate truth, I am also in search of that truth . Through the research of last 10 years ,I went back to the childhood and started asking myself certain questions: Why I am different from others? Why I am thinking in the way, what others are not? I am writing an article which may help many to lead a happy life that I found out through my journey of life. I know this article is not every body's cup of tea and I do not know how many people would be beneficiaries of this.
I have seen people worshipping different deities and worship them in different mood. However, what so ever they do, end result is like drawing a picture in the water. Atlast , they ask, after all these prayers why is it happening to me. It is not the problem with the the diety we worship. Rather, the selection we made is wrong to achieve a particular result. What wouldl happen a teetotaler going around for a long term with the guy just opposite in character? There is always a temptation which the teetotaler may loose his character. Similarly , the same would happen with the deity we are in touch with for long term. We would get the character of that deity who we are in associate with(Basic nature of human being is they are full of spirit). Many of us must have noticed, people worshipping the deities who is in Brahmachari form when they are leading married life. We could guss what would happen? He/She will frequently squabbles with their spouse. More often, there is a tendency in him/her to go in spirituality. A Man/Lady who is leading married life disrupt their life by these small mistakes. Totally we are unbalanced without knowing which diety should be prayed at what age. What would happen if a man worship form of Goddess who is Virgin. We may see such guys frequently get loose control of family life.
There are three things on which Hindu religion is based on(I am not a religious man. Rather I am Spiritual.); Vaishnavam(People who totally worshippers of Vishnu), Saivam(People who totally worshippers of Shiva), Sakteyam(People who totally worshippers of Goddess Durga or Badrakali. She is enlivening feminine force). If one worship Goddess, the result is much much faster and you must be purified from all your past bad karma fast..If one Worship Shiva, again the result is fast but not as fast in the former case. If one worship Vishu, the result must be always slow, through experience He would teach us and at the end He bless us with everything. As soon as a baby is born till the age of 12, it is better to choose Goddess(it may be Durga or Kali). Through which he would be nullified from the past bad Karmas. Next stage from 12 till the age of 22, it is better to Worship Vishnu with Goddess (in mild form. Not Kali form). This combination must give more spiritual strength, which should be attained within the age of 22. Mostly, this is the time we need lot of concentration for any activity we are involved in. After the age of 22 we should concentrate in the form of Shiva with Parvathi. And we know the reason. This would be the time most of them looking for a partner. The combination of Shiva and Parvathi would be a best option for for Love and Long Lasting marriage life. More than that, this must be the age people looking for career growth and become more ambitious in all the ways. People may worship any other deities along with the above said. However, make sure not to worship any Bramachari or Virgin form of deity in the married life. One should worship Kali only, other that childhood, when we are disturbed by lot of enemies and as soon as the time is over just disconnect the association with Kali or any ferocious form in that sense. It is not that we should not go to Kali temple. One thing is she is in Kumari or Kannyaka or Virgin. This will disrupt family life. Another thing is if we worship such types of aggressive forms, they will create enemies and then destroy it. What will happen if it keeps on going. Totally unrestful and unhappy life. And finally, in our retirement life, we may choose which ever the form we like. This is considered to be the second childhood.
Every religion is pious and for the welfare of human beings. When the same religion create chaos in our life, then we look for remedy or somebody should share their experience to overcome that. I heard the following quote somewhere
"For want of a nail the shoe was lost
For want of a shoe the horse was lost and
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
Being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for want of care about a horse-shoe nail."
If the message is not delivered properly, then, I would accept I am totally failed.

My Daughter has "Kuja Dosha" Hooooooooooooo…………..(Indian Edition)
Once a man asked God "What is death?", He replied "Experience it by dieing". The man asked the next question "What is birth?", God replied, "Experience it by taking birth". The man asked the next question "Hey God what is life?", God replied, "You experience it by living". The man got angry and shouted at God, if everything need to be experienced by me then what is the use of You? God replied to the man with a smile "That experience is me". When we share our experience, we have started the journey of a thousand miles with the first step. We have taken the initiative to make this world more livable and much more wonderful. We have taken the step to make human beings understand what we could do and could not do. More than that, confine the younger generation from doing the mistakes what their predecessors did. We can correct ourselves by looking up people who had done mistakes in their life and not to repeat in our life to make us successful human beings. Let me share little bit of my experience….
I am writing this article as I have been told by a Lady who has "Kuja Dosha" or "Manglik Dosha" or "Mars Dosha" that is the reason her marriage was getting delayed. Anybody look into her horoscope would never agree with her statement. I got confused why she told me and where she got that information from. Anyway, let her belief save her in all ways. May be a bit of Information about my friend will help you such believers and parents of such believers. My friend's name is Kuja or Mars. His radiation is so powerful and act upon all human beings. Since he does not know the separation human beings have created in terms of Religion, Caste, Subcaste etc etc etc , he showers his radiation equally upon us. However, the radiation we absorb is based on the conditionals. My Friend symbolizes immense courage, aggression, vitality, confidence and warrior qualities. Basically he is a fiery planet. For most of the parents, when their son or daughter reaches the marriage time, my friend is a nightmare and they blame my friend because he by nature quarrelsome on even minor issues, combative and dominating in relationship, harsh speech, aggressive emotional nature, which may effect the career-front, with frequent changes in profession, a lot of energy; differences with family members, early death of the mate, financial losses, many enemies and repressed anger. There is not a problem in this world without solution. What would we do, when the doctor says we have fever? Or we are suffering from Jaundice or we have chicken pox. Doctor has done his part of diagnose and prescribe as to do certain precautions in food and daily chores with the medications. The same should be done when we have been diagnosed that we have Kuja Dosha. If one understood he or she has the above thrust from Mars radiation, we should spend some time, using our discriminative and analytical skill to understand which all situation we will get excited or create a situation to squabble with our opposite sex. Even when we are not able to understand this, get guidance from Parents/Teachers or Friends to understand and control it from early ages. Sometimes, every things seems to perfect, since it is like a silent river however deep down there would be a turbulent current. Though we may be good with others, however when it comes to marriage life, this started acting upon us. We should understand,is there any point of time, when we deal with opposite sex, we are getting the qualities of Mars. His radiation is so powerful that, knowingly/unknowingly we may use sharp words. Sometimes, Kuja Dosha remain silent and do nothing and then on the contrary it can form a Yoga. So the next time you are afraid of Kuja Dosha , don't bother too much. Then the question comes, what should be done for the early death of the spouse which is one of the result of Kuja Dosha. Nothing…..Nothing at all. Keep your mind always pure. God will start residing one's body and soul and start walking in front of him/her and His duty is to remove all obstacles in front of such strong believers and give him/her a pleasant, happy and prosperous life. Be a strong believer in God(Mentioning more in the next article "Theist for you…."). In crux, Think, Speak and Do good. Good mean's: don’t do any harm which give other's life into difficult situation and start purifying one's own mind. Rest is with God. He will show the way how to take precautions and do the needful remedies time to time.
Human being should acquire lot of weapons of knowledge in the time of ups and use them in the time of downs. A person without any such weapon will be in confusion and dilemma what to do in the time of difficult situation. I know this is the worst article I have ever written. Excuse me Please……However, the message which is trying to communicate only matters.
