Taming of the Shrew, by the grace of god Skanda

Moola Mantra

Om Sharavana-bhavaya Namaha !

Gyaanashaktidhara skanda valliikalyana sundara
devasenaa namah kaanta kaartikeya namo
Om subrahmanyaaya namah !

[Adorations to Lord Subrahmanya!
Adorations to Lord Kartikeya who is known as Skanda,
Who holds the staff of wisdom,
who has the beautiful beloved Goddess Vallii,
Who is the enchanter of the mind of Goddess Devasena,
to that Divine Kartikeya I offer adorations again and again!]

"A beautiful & Holy Vision" (American)Thomas Merton 1968
.............."Ceylon affords so many attractions, so much interest, with its great variety of populations, with its picturesque ruined cities, temples, & its unmatched health-resorts among the hills, that I do not wonder at the enthusiasm of traveler & poet. Literally, every prospect pleases, & I do not think that man here displays any conspicuous or unusual vileness. Indeed, a few days on the island & among its people made me feel how much superior, as a civilizing & humanizing force, is Buddhism to the denigrating Hinduism, which, fallen from its higher ancient philosophies, has perverted the life of India.

Aukana, Sri Lanka. The magnificent free-standing statue carved out of a single rock is the tallest Buddha statue in existence today. The perfect 12m-high standing Buddha is adored all over the island to such an extent, that several full scale copies have been erected in the island. Carved out of the living rock the expression of the statue is serene & from his curled hair there sprouts the flame called siraspata signifying the power of supreme enlightenment. Although the statue is large & stands straight up with feet firmly planted on the lotus stone pedestal, the body retains a graceful quality enhanced by beautifully flowing drapery clinging to the body.
