_{HI Jill,}

_{Thanks for your kind CONGRATULATIONS &}

As you mentioned, I am enjoying and really surprised by our friend Thomas R's action, in choosing me for SUNDAY SHOWCASE Featuring S.K. RAJARAM    11/30/08... Now, everyone knows about our State Karnataka, earlier known as STATE OF MYSORE....CITY OF BANGALORE...NOW known as Bengalooru...just new names, city remains same with lot of improvements, especially after booming INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY entrance to the city, through IT giants, Infosys, Wipro etc.,......now due to global recession, restrictions expected after USA Pres. Obama, all are worried here about their job, salary cut, attrition, lower pay, lay-offs etc.,....

_{Dear Thomas R,}

_{With regard to your last post, I wish to add the following;}

_{Only a certain sections of society are involved in forcing someone to join them/their religions, whatever they may be in/following according to their own faiths and beliefs, by promising them certain material/monetary benefits etc.., which really affects certain groups of people to protest, leading to all sort of violence, which happened recently in several parts of the world, including in our country. Certainly, our laws in every nation had taken their own course of action, in bringing certain evils into books, punishing them, our High court even sentenced many such unsocial elements to death by hanging....}

_{Words of God, either in Bible or any other religions, for that part, no one should refrain or obstruct from hearing, reading, studying, following them if they wish to/love to....it's upto one's own thinking and understanding....WORDS OF GOD ARE GOD'S WORDS TO LIVE IN LOVE AND PEACE IN OUR PRESENT WORLD....NO GOD EVER PREACHED US TO DESTROY INNOCENTS, PEOPLE, CHILDREN ETC.,.....OF COURSE, EVIL HAS ITS OWN END SOONER THAN LATER FOR SURE....GOD LOVES ALL...LIVE IN LOVE AND PEACE...ONE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THEIR OWN RELIGION, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE FOLLOWING OR BORN IN SUCH FAMILIES OF TRADITION...EVERY R. SAYS LOVE ALL - SERVE ALL - HELP EVER BUT HURT NEVER....ACHIEVING/SURRENDERING TO THE LORD'S LOTUS FEET MUST BE OUR MAIN AIM AT ALL TIMES DAY AND NIGHT, UNTIL OUR FINAL DEPARTURE FROM THIS UNIVERSE. MAY JESUS/GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!}

_{With Love, light, faith and peace to all}

_{Rajaram S.K.}
