Be still my raging mind
Ignore the future
Forget the past
Come back to me
Just when I thought I had silence, a possibility came screaming along. Now I balance excitement and equanimity.

Read this article first - Ram Sena reaction to pub attack
Looks like Mutalik left his brain behind for this interview. The guy is saying it’s ok to gratuitously assault men. And women are gullible cows, incapable of free thought, being misled. Patronizing, fanatical and stupid. Great combo.
These people are permanent terrorists in our country. The Mumbai attackers operated swiftly and devastatingly, but the Senas are slow poison, petrifying free thought, progress and individualism.
I bet Ram Sena activists will “protect” (read molest) any attractive woman who is above their social stratum and wouldn’t give them the time of day under normal circumstances. I would be afraid to go for a walk in Mangalore now. What if one of the Sena goons takes a fancy to me, decides to beat up Sunil and grope me?
Bloody terrorists.

“Kayena vaacha…” - my actions, words, mind, senses, intellect, nature and habits I submit to Thee.
Thee? Who? Which? What do I submit to? Confusion has reigned for 32 years (or ever since this verse was explained to me, probably when I was 5-ish). I think it’s a beautiful expression of surrender and poetry which has always resonated with me, I just didn’t know how to interpret it vis-a-vis life.
Now I do. 
And it makes sense. And it’s not high-falutin’…it’s gloriously selfish and totally in tune with the natural state of all humanity and a great life-coping-strategy overall. I think I always knew it, just forgot it along the way.
