Shree Venkateshwara, Tirupati

A rare video of an abhishek of Shree Vekatashwarji from Tirupati. Supposedly it is about 50 years old. Hari!

Kalama Sutta

"Do not accept anything by mere tradition ... Do not accept anything just because it accords with your scriptures ... Do not accept anything merely because it agrees with your pre-conceived notions ... But when you know for yourselves—these things are moral, these things are blameless, these things are praised by the wise, these things, when performed and undertaken, conduce to well-being and happiness—then do you live acting accordingly."
(Kalama Sutta, Angutara Nikaya IIII.65)
A nice quote, that alludes to my thinking as of late.
