                                KARNA
                               -------
                                                From The Mahabharata

This tale tells us about the extraordinary characters of King Karna who was
known for his Charity. Whatever people asked He gave away, right from the
materialistic things like money, gold to his natural protective armour.

Oneday, Karna was about to take His oil bath. He was applying oil on His body 
with right hand, keeping the golden  utensil that had oil, in his left.
Presently one servant came and told Him that one Brahmin wants to see the King.
Those days, Karna was accessible to anyone who was in need of anything, anytime
of the day. Immediately the Brahmin was asked to be admitted and Karna asked the
Brahmin : " Sir please ask what you need. Whatever you ask will be yours ".
That Brahmin was very poor asked the king for some gold. Instantly, Karna gave
away the golden utensil in his left hand, with that very hand.

Seeing this, the Brahmin replied : " O Karna, people say that whenever you do
charity, you should never give with left hand. Please offer it to me with the
right hand ".

Karna Explained : " O Brahmin ! there you are mistaken. Just at the time you
asked me for gold, I felt like giving that utensil. So I gave away. But if
you ask me to give with right hand, by the time the utensil comes from my left
hand to the right, my mind may change and you may not get this utensil and I
may give you something less. So the rule is that, whenver you want to give
something, give immediately, whether,with left or right hand. What you give is
more important than how you give ".

Now that the Brahmin has understood the secret, he gladly accepted what Karna
gave him and left happily.

		If you scan the Telugu magazines or news papers or books 3-6
		decades ago, you will encounter the then advertisement
		pattern/style to promote the sales of the then existing products
		in Andhra (Madras) and India.  These were probably appealing to
		the citizens of those times.  But, to me (probably to us), they
		are nostalgic memories.  We can also see the naive nature of the
		business magnets those days.  Certain degree of fun is seen
		through the glasses of the present century individual.  I have a
		collection of these advertisements in Telugu.  I am going to
		post these one at a time in RIT.  At times,  with reference to a
		particular product for sales, the language may be a bit
		unacceptable.  This is great!!! Enjoy!!!

Hello Sai:
This is for you and for me and for every Telugujiivi.
Thanks for taking me back to Sri Sri.
I knew Sri Sri personally.  He was an ocean of emotional poetry and life-thread
of modern Telugu literature.
This poem is called "kaLa'ravi" from his "maha'prstha'nam".

 I thought ravan was also an indo-aryan. his descendants, the sinhalas are
 indo-aryans. CORRECT ME IF I'AM WRONG. i also thought all the people ram met
 south of vindhyas in dandakaranya, kishkinda etc. were dravidians,and they alll
 were ram's allies. it was an allied army of indo-aryans & dravidians that
 fought and destroyed the bad guy ravan, who also happened to be indo-aryan.

  So atleast during the times of ramayan there was no antagonism between
  the dravidians and indo-aryans. the dravidians, ever the admirers of the
  strong and the mighty teamed up with Ram to give the bad guy, who was also
  a born loser a beating.    ;-)

I thought that it is desirable to know historically aspects
that affected the lives of the Telugus! There is nothing wrong
in it! If brahmins were divided one day, and the need of the hour is 
is to unite them, then let that be done by understanding past 
mistakes. If Hindus are divided and the need of the hour is
to unite Hindus, then do so by understanding past mistakes
the past tradition. That is the way to synthesiZe novelties!

One understands what was the intention in the past, what was good
about it, why certain thing went bad, and make amends to that.

Anyhow I posted material that I felt is informative! Many of us
do not know many things!

Do you know that the gold statue in the hands of ahobiLamutt
jeer is indeed the one made by prataparudrudu! We had a college
level vyaasam on that story. When I saw the statue proper
in the villiage with the jeer, i simply could not believe
my eyes. So beautiful it is! Next time you visit India,
try to visit the jeer, and see the same. It is ours, of Telugus.
If we don't keep that in mind, it will end up in TN, and as part of
TN history; just like Madras ended up as TN.

When I said that it is ours of Telugus, I did not mean the
patritic nonsense of the Tamil bigots. I meant, as you seem to be
incapable of understanding, that someday the TN will steal it as
part of its history, just as it stole Madras. Got it. There is
nothing patriotic in it. If it was not a question of stealth,
I would not have used the word, "it is of telugus" at all.
It helps to think, and more importantly from SCT skin heads.

Subject: Bangalore query
Date: 1 Jan 93 18:15:41 GMT
Organization: State University of New York at Stony Brook, Nuclear Physics


I am an American professor of Computer Science, and I am planning to
spend a sabbatical year visiting the department of Computer Science and
Automation at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore.
I have a number of questions about Bangalore that readers of SCI may
be able to help me with.


I expect to be in Bangalore from August 1993 through June 1994.  My wife and our
two year old son will be with me.  I have visited India three times on
relatively short professional visits, and am reasonably familiar with
Bangalore.  My wife has never been to India.  We will have accomodation
on campus at IISc so we will not have to worry about finding a place to
live.

Here are a set of questions that have occured to us:

Health
We have received quite a bit of advice about health, in particular, it
has been stressed to us that it is important to be cautious about the
water that we drink.  A major question that I have about health is
whether or not malaria is a significant problem in Bangalore.  Do
residents of Bangalore take precautions to avoid malaria.  Is malaria
an concern only during the rainy seasons?


Transportation
We are not planning to have a car, however, I expect that we will
want to rent a car (+driver) on a fairly regular basis.  Are there car
rental agencies or tourist agencies where one would rent a car?
Specific recommendations are certainly welcome.  Safety and
reliability are concerns along with just price.

Tourism
Can you recommend interesting tourist sites close to Bangalore, places
that would be reasonable to visit as a day trip.  What are the
sites in South India that one should not miss.
I am familiar with Belur, Halibid, Shrevanabegola, and Mysore (and
will certainly be returning to see them again).

Hotels
We will have a number of guests come visit us in Bangalore.  Can you
recommend  moderately priced and comfortable hotels in Bangalore.  I
doubt that our guests will want to stay in 5-star hotels such as the
Taj Residency.

Universities
I am interested in developing contacts with computer scientists at
universities in South India.  I have several contacts in Bangalore and
Madras, but do not know people at other south Indian Universities.
My professional interests are in algorithms and parallel computation.
I would be interested in getting names and addresses of computer
science professors that I could contact before going to India.



Thank you for your assistance.
