Vedic Reflections - Shri VishnusahasranAmam (Stanza 30) The main aspect of the 30th shloka is the comparison of His radiance with the rays of the sun and the moon Ojastejodhyutidharah prakAshAtmapratApanah riddhah spashtAksharo mantrash-chandrAnshurbhAskaradhyutih ओजस्तेजोध्युतिधरः प्रकाशात्माप्रतापनः | रिद्धः स्पष्टाक्षरो मन्त्राश्चन्द्रान्शुर्भास्करद्युतिः || OjastejOdhyutidharah  The One who is filled with super strength, courage and brightness prakAshAtma The One whose Atma is radiant and bright, the enlightened soul pratApanah The One who heats up the enemy.

Hinduism is often the point of laughter among the Western as well as Arabic faiths because of the presence of a quarter to billion Gods and goddesses. They often ask, how lamer can it get?

Mouliyil Mayilpeeli Charthee (Placing the Peacock feather on His hood) Singer: Chithra K S Music : Raveendran Lyrics: Girish Puthenchery MY RATING -10/10 Reflections   KS Chitra sings this song that has a fresh morning hue to it. Maybe it's the magic of Raveendran Maash's music or the lyrics penned down Girish Sir! Or maybe it's the mention of His Lord's name itself that makes this song so special. One of the best KRISHNA songs ever.
