True, but can anything be really done about it as long as we have our masses voting such parties to power?

That was a real good one Sainath. Thanks a lot for that, definitely would have made a very good symbol for Rupee.

Hi Gurudev,

The article at

http://haindavakeralam.com/HKPage.aspx?PageID=11544&SKIN=B

throws light on the very same issue. The author is Mr.V.Sundaram, retd. IAS.

Xist connection in the chosen designs is to be really investigated.

The Star of Lakshmi

The Star of Lakshmi ( the Eight Pointed Star ) is a symbol in indian Philosophy, where it represents Ashtalakshmi, the eight forms of wealth or the eight forms of the Hindu goddess of fortune and prosperity named Lakshmi. Wealth in the context of Ashtalakshmi represents prosperity, knowledge, good health, progeny, strength, and power. Mathematically, it is a complex star figure with two squares with the same center at 45 degrees.

The three greatest threats to the very idea of India and its ancient Civilization are the three M’s – Mullahs, Missionaries and Maoists – and all three are equally dangerous.
