Wonder what is waiting for future...when Govt. comes up to teach values in schools and universities and what in a rebellious mood reflecting Black Dress are out to teach...Perhaps to rebel the established VALUES? Perhaps its high time Govt starts seriously looking for programmes and degrees to first define what values that teachers SHOULD FIRST PRACTICE to set as models for students.

Without such serious definitions and discussions, it may be nothing but BLIND LEADING THE BLIND in schools and universities with so called value education.

We had already mourned the Flood Disaster...what are we preparing for, with colour of mourning now?

The three gunas mentioned in Bhagavad Gita, says white for Satvas, Red for Rajas and Black for Tamas.

குணங்கள் மூன்று விதம். ஸத்வம், ரஜஸ், தமஸ் என்பன அவை. ஸத்வம் என்பது ஸமநிலை, சாந்தம், அன்பு. அதன் நிறம் வெண்மை. வெள்ளை வெளேரென்று வஸ்துவைப் பார்த்தாலே மனஸில் ஏற்படுகிற பரிசுத்த மலர்ச்சிதான் ஸத்வம். ரஜஸ் என்பது வேகம். இதில் நல்லது கெட்டது என்ற இரண்டும் கலந்து இருக்கும். இதன் நிறம் சிகப்பு அல்லது செம்மஞ்சள். செக்கச் செவேல் என்று இருப்பதில் அழகும் உண்டு. கண்ணைக் குத்துகிற மாதிரி பயப்படுகிற தினுசும் உண்டு. உதய சூரியனையும் செய்பருத்தியையும் பார்த்தால் சிவப்பே அழகாயிருக்கிறது. ரத்தத்தைப் பார்த்தால் பயமாயிருக்கிறது. தமஸ் என்பது முழுக்கவும் கெட்ட குணம். சோம்பல், தூக்கம் எல்லாம் இதைச் சேர்ந்தவை. இதன் நிறம் கருப்பு. அதாவது அஞ்ஞான இருள் மயமானது.
