Hindus urge Opernhaus Zürich to drop culturally insensitive opera Lakmé

Universal Society of Hinduism

Hindus are urging Opernhaus Zürich in Switzerland to withdraw “Lakmé” opera; scheduled for April 2-8-15, 2023; which they feel seriously trivializes Hindu religious and other traditions. Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that a renowned institution like Zurich Opera House, whose history goes back to 1834; should not be in the business of callously promoting appropriation of traditions, elements and concepts of “others”; and ridiculing entire communities. Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, indicated that this deeply problematic opera was just a blatant belittling of a…

Articles and stories from Epics and Mythologies – CHITHRAKETHU CHARITHAM

Thodupuzha K Shankar Mumbai

INTRODUCTION: From the readings and sapthahams and Navahams I attended in Mumbai, I could gather some knowledge which I would like to share with my readers who have always evinced and expressed great interest and inquisitiveness to acquire the knowledge potential. I too strongly believe that the knowledge we gather from books and discourses and even discussions with knowledgeable souls should be shared with others from time to time. Otherwise, it remains futile like the wealth with a miser which is of no use. I am sure these stories and…

Delicious broccoli soup

.

Broccoli contains a high concentration of sulforaphane, a compound which is found in cruciferous vegetables (kale, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, radish) and has strong anti-cancer properties. Sulforaphane is produced when the enzyme myrosinase reacts with glucoraphanin – this reaction usually occurs when the two compounds mix, which occurs when the plant is being chewed. Therefore, due to its known cancer-preventing properties, individuals who have a high risk of cancer, especially prostate or colon cancer, should increase their consumption of broccoli. However, it’s not as simple as this – it’s not…
