Scripted over 5000 yrs ago, the Naadi documents the lives of the whole human race on planet earth. A feat accomplished by sages who gained clairvoyance through 'Siddhi'. The sheer enormity of this effort was mind boggling when I first heard about it -- palm leaves for every human being on this planet, past present [...]
Britney Spears
So Britney Spears shaved her head in public. She tatooed herself in public. She exposed herself without panties in public. And the Media is ga ga over the falling of a great American Icon. Yet it is the creation of the Icon that is the hysteria, not the falling of one .... What is it [...]
Our Mythic lives, or Mundane lives ?

Putin has made a similar statement yesterday at the Security Forum in Munich : Here are extracts from [...]
Global Warming and Al Gore

So much more devastation has taken place in the last two years. Or atleast what we have learnt in the last two years about the [...]
