Today 17.10.2020 is significant .. .. Chithirai, Prathamai - today is Aippaisi masa pirappu – Thula sankramana punya kalam; Purattasi Sani 5th varam (though Aippaisi is born); 6th day of Swami Manavala Mamunigal Uthsavam; start of Navrathri Uthsavam and Sri Vedavalli thayar purappadu in Kamala vahanam; .. .. and today starts the Uthsavam of Peyazhwar too; so naturally this is day 3 of Poigaippiran and 2nd day of Boothathazhwar uthsavam.
The most uttered, spoken,
feared word is Corona .. the Covid 19 virus.
The World is impacted and is fearing its ill-effects ! .. Millions
of people have seen Covid-19 rules tighten as areas have moved up England's new
three-tier alert system. London and York are among those moving up to tier two,
meaning people cannot mix with other households indoors. Boris Johnson has said infection rates in
Manchester are "grave" and he may "need to intervene" if a
row over moving into tier three is not resolved. More than half of England - in
excess of 28 million people - is now under extra coronavirus restrictions.
In its neighbouring France,
bars and cafes faced a busy evening
before a month-long curfew started at midnight in Paris and other cities. The controversial
night curfew is aimed at curbing the soaring coronavirus infection rate in
France, which is one of Europe's coronavirus hotspots. The full curfew began
this Saturday, from 21:00 to 06:00 every
night. The Paris region and eight other cities are affected, including
Marseille, Lyon, Lille and Toulouse. About 20 million French people are covered
by it, but mayors in some towns - notably Le Touquet and Creil in the north -
have also announced curfews to prevent a knock-on effect, as frustrated
revellers seek somewhere else to meet.
French police
have raided the homes of senior government and health officials as part of an
investigation into their handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Health Minister
Olivier Véran and the director of the national health agency, Jérôme Salomon,
are among those whose properties were searched.
The raids came after a court launched an inquiry earlier this year into
the government's handling of the pandemic. It has faced criticism over
shortages of equipment and slow response times. Prime Minister Jean Castex is
also under investigation, French media report, as is his predecessor Edouard
Philippe and Mr Véran's predecessor Agnès Buzyn.
Back home in
India, total Covid tally stands at 74,32,681 including 7,95,087 active cases,
65,24,596 cured/discharged/migrated cases and 1,12,998 deaths, informed Union
Health Ministry. The no. of active cases as also the fresh cases have been
seeing a diminish trend which augurs well for the Nation.
Prevention is the best
strategy to fight Covid-19, a pandemic caused by a coronavirus named
SARS-CoV-2. The world is waiting with baited breath for a clinically approved
vaccine. There is no specific medicine or drug formula that checks the spread
of SARS-CoV-2. The only antiviral treatment currently approved is giving doses
of remdesivir to Covid-19 patients requiring hospitalisation.
As the work continues to
develop an effective vaccine for COVID-19, the government on Saturday said two
pan-India studies on the genome of the virus in India suggest it is genetically
stable and has shown no major mutation. After a review meeting chaired by Prime
Minister Shri Narendra Modi on the pandemic situation, and vaccine delivery,
distribution and administration preparedness, the Prime Minister’s Office said
in a statement that three vaccines are in advanced stages of development in
India, out of which two are in Phase II and one is in Phase-III. Let us hope
that Corona too becomes a thing of the past and people live happily .. ..
எம்பெருமான் ஸ்ரீமன் நாரணனது பரத்துவத்தை அறுதியிட்டு உரைப்பவர் பக்திசாரர். இதோ இங்கே திருமழிசைப்பிரானின் நான்முகன் திருவந்தாதி
பாசுரம் :
தமராவார் யாவருக்கும் தாமரை மேலாற்கும்
அமரர்க்கும் ஆடரவர்த்தாற்கும்
- அமரர்கள்
தாள் தாமரை மலர்களிட்டிறைஞ்சி,
மால்வண்ணன்
தாள்தாமரை அடைவோமென்று.
எம்பெருமான் ஸ்ரீமன் நாரணனே மிகவும் உயர்ந்தவன். அந்த கரியமேனியனான எம்பெருமானுடைய திருவடித் தாமரைகளில் பல்வேறு மணம் கமழும் புஷ்பங்களை ஸமர்ப்பித்து வணங்கி அத்திருவடித்தாமரைகளையே அடைவோமென்று பக்தராயிருக்குமவர்கள் - திருநாபிக் கமலத்திற் பிறந்த பிரமனுக்கும், ஆடுகின்ற ஸர்ப்பங்களை (ஆபரணமாக உடம்பிலே) கட்டிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் சிவனுக்கும், நித்யஸூரிகளுக்கும் மற்றுமெல்லார்க்கும் மேற்பட்டவராவர். அத்தகைய எம்பெருமானை அனுதினமும் வணங்குவோர்க்கு எல்லா நலன்களும் தானே அமையும்.
