Maori Poem by Tieme Ranapiri

My Law

The sun may be clouded, yet ever the sun

Will sweep on its course till the Cycle

is run. And when into chaos the system is hurled

Again shall the Builder reshape a new world.

Your path may be clouded, uncertain your goal:

Move on for your orbit is fixed to your soul.

And though it may lead into darkness of night

The torch of the Builder shall give it new light.

You were. You will be! Know this while you are:

Your spirit has travelled both long and afar.

It came from the Source, to the Source it returns

The Spark which was lighted eternally burns.

It slept in a jewel. It leapt in a wave.

It roamed in the forest. It rose from the grave.

It took on strange garbs for long aeons of years

And now in the soul of yourself It appears.

From body to body your spirit speeds on

It seeks a new form when the old one has gone

And the form that it finds is the fabric you wrought

On the loom of the Mind from the fibre of Thought.

As dew is drawn upwards, in rain to descend

Your thoughts drift away and in Destiny blend.

You cannot escape them, for petty or great,

Or evil or noble, they fashion your Fate.

Somewhere on some planet, sometime and somehow

Your life will reflect your thoughts of your Now.

My Law is unerring, no blood can atone

The structure you built you will live in alone.

From cycle to cycle, through time and through space

Your lives with your longings will ever keep pace

And all that you ask for, and all you desire

Must come at your bidding, as flame out of fire.

Once list’ to that Voice and all tumult is done

Your life is the Life of the Infinite One.

In the hurrying race you are conscious of pause

With love for the purpose, and love for the Cause.

You are your own Devil, you are your own God

You fashioned the paths your footsteps have trod.

And no one can save you from Error or Sin

Until you have hark’d to the Spirit within.

Paul Mamu becomes part of Dharwad's history

People originally from Dharwad and most of whom migrated decades ago elsewhere across the state, country and world in search of green pastures were in for a sudden shock since late evening on Monday. They all shared similar sentiments, fond moments and profound grief in the passing away of Paul Cardoza of the renowned Hotel PAUL’S at Vidyagiri. He was 69 years old and not at all an age for his generation to bid adieu. Walks to Death: Paul Cardoza was a little bit hefty for his height and age; otherwise there were no visible symptoms to hint of any ailments he had been challenged with. Even on the fateful day, he attended to the chores in the hotel until the afternoon before proceeding to neighbour Hubballi for a cardiac test. It is said that he literally walked to the health check-up facility to undergo the examination. No, he was not destinated for it as he suffered a massive stroke and never to recover! A jovial personality: In the passing away of Paul Cardoza Dharwad has lost one o

Dr Godwin Shiri: An Accomplished Theologist, Author, Research Scholar and Social Scientist..

Dr Godwin Shiri as the name itself suggests is truly a Godly person who won the hearts of people all along and wherever he went across the globe. He is a well-read, widely travelled religious personality having contributed any number of books and translations of eminent philosophers. He is turning 79 today and looking back there seems to be a huge list of accomplishments worth cherishing on the way. Priest on his own inclination: Dr Godwin Shiri himself voluntarily opted for the priestly vocation of becoming a Pastor at a young age, much against the wishes of his family. The sight of the Cross of Lord Jesus Christ and the scenario of thousands of workers marching holding red flags in his native town Mangaluru had a lasting effect on him as a young boy. Recalling the good old days Godwin Shiri admits-"Perhaps they sowed in me the seeds of compassion and social justice". Graduate in Bengaluru, Ph D in Germany: For having developed an inkling towards philosophy at too young a a
