A Lesson from "The Simpsons"

Could there be a better animation series?

The Amazing Simpsons!
Bart and his friends paint the number of the houses on their platforms and try to earn money.
Homer refuses to pay, so the kids paint 74 instead of 742. 
The Simpsons end up getting others' mails which Homer happily accepts.
Marge receives a letter (the others' mail) saying she won a contest and the prize is a clean-up of The Simpsons home for free. 
Marge fears that the "cleaners" could be condescending. So she cleans the home (actually -makes it shine) herself.
In a hurry, Marge trips, hits the floor and is hospitalized.
Marge is diagnosed with Amnesia. After some time, Marge can remember everyone but Homer.
Now I'm not telling you the rest of the story.

Why did I tell you this story? Because I'm an obsessed fan of The Simpsons trying to share the show's novel message with the world.  Because Every Simpsons episode is like this. The main story of the episode is introduced through a sequence of events (An overwhelming sequence at that). For instance, an annoying video game leads Lisa to a wiccan witch club (how much crazier can it get?).

I really want to put this down in a powerful way. But here I am, typing and "backspacing" because it doesn't sound right. Here's what I'm trying to get at. Every seemingly innocuous act or for that matter, even a small thought has a consequence. And once you realize this, you can see it everywhere! By everywhere, I mean - even every random Simpsons episode. Also note this: it does not matter how humble the thought or action may seem, the aftermath is magnified at every step it is carried forward to. When you think, think positive. When you act, know that you will have to face the consequences, which maybe pleasant or maybe not so.
Hey - where is this going? Karma? I'll keep that for another post!

#Lesson:  Every humble action and thought has a multifold consequence.

What We Do in the Name of God: An Account of My Visit to SriKalahasti Temple

Image
Yesterday, I visited an ancient, renowned temple called SriKalahasti with my family ( 8 people ranging from age 5 to 6).My account of this visit is from the perspective of an agnostic who is hesitant to travel to another state just for pooja and darshan at a temple. SriKalahasti Temple As soon as we stepped outside the bubble of our tourist car, we were surrounded by several unkempt, hungry pilgrims. They all began speaking at once. They had traveled from far off places and had no money. One of them requested for money to buy food. My uncle opened his wallet and handed over a few rupee notes and coins. That was enough to attract another bunch of saffron clad pilgrims. We managed to evade them and enter the temple premises. The inner premise of SriKalahasti was constructed back in the 5th century A.D. whereas the extended area was built in the 12th century. It is only expected that the structure would be imposing and awe-inspiring. We were told that the puja was not to beg...

Wedded to What?

Image
Occasionally, I hear my neighbors or parents discussing marriage prospects for young people among their relatives. Several filters are applicable in this search for a spouse. The first and tacit rule is that the groom must belong to the same community as the bride and that horoscopes must match. The next preliminary qualification is a degree in engineering and a well paying job at a multinational company. Any application that falls short of these criteria do not make the cut to round two. In the second round of the great Indian arranged marriage, the bride's family indulges in circumlocution as they ask "Does the boy own a home or apartment?". The answer to this maybe a deal maker or breaker. The idea that a life partner must own a house raise a doubt about the very crux of arranged marriages. Do we wed a person or the setting (home, car, security, city of residence) that he or she offers? Does our true loyalty lie with this life-long partner or with our indi...

What the Chandogya Upanishad Says About Education

My yoga center was giving away some books it no longer needed. One of these books was the Chandogya Upanishad with English translation and commentary by a Swami Lokeshwarananda. My knowledge of the Upanishads until then was limited to Amar Chitra Katha (comic book versions of Indian stories) and two verses that I had learnt in my yoga class. I took this book out of curiosity. What are the Upanishads about, after all? The Upanishads are deeply philosophical and I will reserve my novice's comments for later. Here, I present some ideas which modern education could use more of.  1. Education is pointless without self-knowledge.  Self-knowledge is the overarching point of this Upanishad. In one story, a man sends his son Svetaketu to study the Vedas. Svetaketu returns after twelve years as an accomplished scholar. The father notices his son's pride and tells him that all scholarship is worthless without self-knowledge and then describes self-knowledge to his son in many ...
