Back again to wish you a Happy week beginning,  after the Ganesh immersions yesterday, the whole city is gearing up to a variety of price escalations. Yes early in the morning due to the current hike in Diesel rates, RTC has hiked fares by a Rupee. So take the necessary change to avoid unnecessary embarrassments. Then the monthly season tickets are also bound to rise, as a part of the chain reactions. However not everything is bad, we have the cushion to take such issues. And we have God sent saviors, the politicians to protest over this hike as well. Of course they too need some issue to go about, is it not. So lets get back to business.

From the epics: Bhagavad-Gita: Last week we had a glimpse of the  eleventh chapter Visvarupa-Darsana Yoga, which deals mainly with 'The Vision of the Universal Form.' and today we have a look at the twelfth chapter Bhakti Yoga, incidentally this is the last of the six middle chapters also known as Bhakti Yoga. This is the most important chapter of the middle chapters which deals mainly with, 'The Path of Devotion.' In this chapter the Lord Krishna reveals to his disciple Arjuna, amidst Kurukshetra that human life's ultimate goal is to reach God.  He explains the various forms of devotion and the types of people who adhere to the forms to reach God. This is vital for all of us to understand that God is the ultimatum and in him we begin our journey and it indeed in him that our journey ends too.

Today is the seventh of the ongoing ‘Brahmotsavam' of Lord Venkateswara and the Lord is taking a stroll in the Mada streets around the temple on Tirumala. In the morning along with his consorts he was mounted atop the golden Surya Prabha Vahanam and is being taken around in a grand procession.  The day culminates with a mighty midnight procession on his Chandraprabha Vahanam. Both the processions are a delight to his devotees.
