On behalf of the Sopanam magazine editorial team we apologize to our readers for the delay in publishing this issue of the magazine. Seva Darshan has grown like a huge banyan tree with its roots and braches spreading all over the country with various activities happening for people of all spheres. This has kept all our members busy and often it causes the delay in our publication.

Vijaya Dashmi is the celebration of victory. The new horizon of victory is calling us. The nine days vigilance and penance for attainment of collective strength bore fruit of the victory of the virtuous Divine, on the Vijaya Dashmi day. Navarathri was celebrated all over Kuwait with prayers and excellent artistic performances by eminent artists. During this spiritual journey, we pass through different stages personified by Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati. It is said that Shiva, who symbolizes pure consciousness, can only be known through Shakti, who represents divine energy. That is why people worship Shakti, also known as Devi, in her various manifestations. On the tenth day we have Vijayadashmi, when devotees perform Saraswati pooja and Vidyarambahm or Ayudha Pooja. It is the day when Lord Rama killed the ten headed demon king Ravana and gave the throne of his kingdom Lanka to his brother Vibhishana. Vijaya Dashmi is considered to be auspicious and festive by the people of India and is celebrated as the day that symbolizes the victory of ‘Good over Evil’. It is

way to remind people of the fact that truth always triumphs and motivate them to follow the path of ‘dharma’. The celebrations and myths behind the festival is to show us the need to control our negative energy and to perform right actions that will help us lead a better life.

This year the atmosphere of the celebrations is definitely different with a spirit of self-confidence being raised in each one of us after the successful ‘Mangalyaan’ attempt by our scientists. Our athletes have made us proud with the achievements at the Asiad games. The world has begun to look at our citizens with a different vision. They are looking at an emerging civilization that has slowly begun finding it roots and are roaring to stand up as the leader of the new world. Other countries of the world have shown more respect for our endurance, patience and self-confidence than ever before. Every Bharateeyan must aim at making our nation the leader of the world. We have much more to do to attain this state of ‘param vaibhavam’.

It is with great happiness that we note the newly elected representatives of our nation have embarked on a path of dialogue and coordination and cooperation with the whole world. It is very essential to take a stand and unite the different forces in the world against the dangers that threaten our very existence. This could be in the form of terrorism, in the form of violent ideologies like that of the ISIS, environmental destruction and so forth. India has always made this genuine attempt through the path of truth. The national thinking that has prevailed in this vast region between the Himalayas till the ocean and seas on each side has been that of world peace and unity. We have accepted all faiths and even ideologies that opposed our basic culture and religion. We have even accepted the good in all these invading forces and thoughts and assimilated them in our Nation. But this has not been reciprocated or appreciated.

Wherever we Indians, have gone we have shared the Bharatiya ethos of love, affection and welfare. We have never tried to destroy any way of life or any nation. This is why the Bharatiya diaspora has been accepted all over the world. We have a government that is initiating many new policies and giving a right direction for the nation. As Indians living away from our motherland, it is essential we follow this path being laid out in our Nation and thus set examples in the countries we live in. We need to stand united as a community and come forward when our nation needs our support whether at times of calamities or otherwise. We need to build an India that is consistent with the present times and conditions, which will stand tall as an all capable and prosperous Nation. We have to build a Bharat where prosperity comes hand in hand with ethics and rationality; where compassion, service, welfare and fearlessness are constituents of invincible strength; whose path of development should promote universal welfare. It is essential we join forces with the government to make this happen. The evolution of nations in the world history shows that without active cooperation and participation of people, mere political power cannot bring about the desired change in the society.

It was a great moment of pride for every Indian when the announcement was made of the successful Mangalyaan Mars Mission.

Ever since we have had recorded history, we have been pioneers in many aspects especially science. Somewhere in the Middle Ages this had come to a complete slowdown possibly due to the continuous invasions and wars the nation faced. Our education system has also often opted to keep our many of our great inventions and inventors in our current school syllabus. There has never been an effort to introduce our children to these great contributions.

With a advent of media and social platforms the news of such achievements is now reaching every corner of the nation. The Nation must surely do more in encouraging our younger generation to take up scientific research as profession and as a social commitment to the development of our Nation. On the professional front it may have not been a big money earner attracting many children. The prospects of having a better life have definitely lured many prospective candidates abroad creating a brain drain. This is now slowly being reversed.

While we make such great achievements the debate of whether it was really worth it considering the economic condition of our nation, always arises. The amount spent of space research could have been spent on infrastructure development and in raising the standards of living of our common man. But expenditures in these kinds of science have long-term benefits. It builds infrastructure and knowledge-base to carry out more complex experiments in the future. The inventions we make while preparing for these space missions surely impacts the day to day life of our citizens and will also later be used in many other industries.

We must remember that water purifiers, safe flight maneuver systems, robotic systems, several kinds of medicines have come to us because of space research. We have spent huge amounts on weapons up gradation and other projects. We spend 454 crores for the Mangalyaan project. This has put our Nation in the international space market (satellite manufacturing, launching, satellite services etc.) which is a 300 Billion dollar market. We have become

the fastest and the most cost effective option for many developing nations. While we argue that money spend on space research could have been used for helping the poor, we forget that without these research we would not have had mobile phones, internet and many other facilities we enjoy today and which has helped growing nation. Information technology is a result of space research. Satellites have helped so much in extracting natural resources. These resources ultimately help the country's economy and generate tax income which is many times more than what we have spent on satellites. The transparency in the functioning of the government, electronic media, improved supply chains, logistics and many more things that we enjoy today are all results of research work which were considered a waste of resources at the time they were being conducted. There is still so much more research that needs to done.

We can sell the products that we invent. All inventions need investments. At the same time research must be aimed at Nation building and not mere monetary benefits alone. An often repeated story comes to mind while we prepare this article.

About 400 years ago, there lived a count in a small town

Our National ChallengeKrishna Kumar Paliath

Viewsho£Ww


in Germany. He was one of the benign counts, and he gave a large part of his income to the poor in his town. This was much appreciated, because poverty was abundant during medieval times, and there were epidemics of the plague which ravaged the country frequently. One day, the count met a strange man. He had a workbench and little laboratory in his house, and he labored hard during the daytime so that he could afford a few hours every evening to work in his laboratory. He ground small lenses from pieces of glass; he mounted the lenses in tubes, and he used these gadgets to look at very small objects. The count was particularly fascinated by the tiny creatures that could be observed with the strong magnification, and which he had never seen before. He invited the man to move with his laboratory to the castle, to become a member of the count’s household, and to devote henceforth all his time to the development and perfection of his optical gadgets as a special employee of the count.

The townspeople, however, became angry when they realized that the count was wasting his money, as they thought, on a stunt without purpose. “We are suffering from this plague,” they said, “while he is paying that man for a useless hobby!” But the count remained firm. “I give you as much as I can afford,” he said, “but I will also support this man and his work, because I know that someday something will come out of it!”

Indeed, something very good came out of this work, and also out of similar work done by others at other places: the microscope. It is well known that the microscope has contributed more than any other invention to the progress of medicine, and that the elimination of the plague and many

other contagious diseases from most parts of the world is largely a result of studies which the microscope made possible.

The situation which we are facing today is similar in many respects. We need to offer better support to our young men and women who choose science as a career. We must ensure they take forward their talent and determination to engage in fruitful research work. If they overcome the many challenges researchers face today, we would be opening up to opportunities that will contribute greatly to the fields of medicine, physics, biology, nature and other connected areas. The data we receive today from our satellites has changed the way we as a Nation performs today. Successful research programmes will ensure more revenue, more jobs and faster eradication of poverty.

As Shri. A P J Abdul Kalam would rightly put it; it is time to ignite our young minds. We need to create an atmosphere for research and missions in our nations. This must be backed by the best of intellects in our nation. The Nation must provide all kinds of assistance like laboratories and quality educationalists to train them. Brilliant researchers must be honoured and given due credit where it is deserved. We as a Nation must make that extra effort to spot talents and help them grow. Many of our best minds are hidden in our vast nation and they are not always fortunate enough to break out of their shell of poverty and misfortune.

The bulk of our nation lives in the villages. Research is essential to eradicate diseases, poverty, ecological disasters, natural disasters etc. Our national challenge is before us. How best to we adapt is also our choice.

In India, with the exception of Muslims, polygamy is not allowed. In the Laws of all communities, marriage is a civil contract. In India when both parties are Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Parsis or Jews, normally they perform their marriage under their personal law. Their domicile or nationality has no bearing on the solemnization of the marriage. The reason is that the governing law of marriage in India is not the Indian law or the State law but the law of the community to which the parties to the marriage belong. In the case of performance of a marriage in India between parties belonging to the same community, compliance with the ceremonies laid down by their personal laws is essential and the non- compliance of the same will render their marriage null and void.

Hindu marriage is solemnized in accordance with the customary rights and ceremonies of either party thereto. Among Muslims the only essential ceremonies that are required are that there must be proposal and acceptance made in one and the same meeting. When both parties are Christians, a marriage may be solemnized in either of the following ways- (1) it may be solemnized by a Minister of Church or (2) it may be solemnized by or in the presence of a marriage registrar.

A marriage can also be performed between any two persons under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Whenever a marriage is performed under this Act then the validity of the marriage is determined under the said Act. A civil marriage under the said Act may be solemnized at the office of the Marriage Officer or such other place within a reasonable distance

Validity of Marriages solemnized in India and outside India

there from as the parties may desire, in any form the parties may choose to adopt. But such marriages shall not be complete unless certain formalities prescribed by the Act are complied with. Any marriage performed in India between the Hindus, the Muslims, the Christians, the Parsis, the Jews or any two persons under the Special Marriage Act will be valid in India, even if one or both parties are not domiciled in India.

The Special Marriage Act not only permits civil marriage between any of the persons in India or abroad but also provides for the registration of such marriage. As a result of registration the marriage is deemed to be solemnized under the Act, from the date on which a certificate of marriage has been finally entered into the register and all provisions of the Act become applicable to the parties. The foreign married couples and the foreign domiciled couples can also take advantage of the provision. The most notable feature of the Act is that it avoids the conflict of inter-communal and inter-religious laws that may arise because of the fact that parties to marriage belong to different communities or different religions.

The Foreign Marriage Act, 1969 provides for consular marriages, if one of the parties to the marriage is an Indian national in a foreign country. The Act provides for an enabling form of marriage more or less on the same lines as Special Marriage Act, 1954 which can be availed outside India where one of the parties to the marriage is an Indian citizen. The form of marriage provided under the Act is not in suppression of but only in addition

to or as an alternate to any other form that might be permissible to the parties. Section 4 of the Act lays down that a marriage between parties one of whom at least an Indian citizen may be solemnized under this Act by or before a Marriage Officer in a foreign country. Such marriage shall be solemnized at the official house of the Marriage Officer with open doors between the prescribed hours in the presence of at least three witnesses. The marriage may be solemnized in any form which the parties may choose to adopt. But such marriage shall not be complete and binding on the parties unless each party declares to the other in the presence of the Marriage Officer and the three witnesses and in any language understood by the parties “ I (a) take the (b) to be my lawful wife (or husband)”. Where the said declaration is made in any language which is not understood by the Marriage Officer or by any of the witnesses, either of the parties shall interpret or cause to be interpreted the declaration in a language which the Marriage Officer, as the case may be, and such witnesses understand. The essential conditions which are required to be fulfilled at the time of marriage are; (a) neither party has a spouse living, (b) neither party is an idiot or lunatic; (c) the bride groom has completed the age of 21 years and the bride the age of 18 years; and (d) the parties are not within the degree of prohibited relationship. However, where the personal law or custom governing at least one party permits of a marriage between them such marriage may be solemnized, notwithstanding that they are within the degree of prohibited relationship.

The Act lays down procedures for solemnization of foreign marriages. Section 11 is a very important provision from the point of view of conflict of laws. It lays down marriage prohibited by lex loci

celebrationis (laws of place of marriage) or marriages appearing to be in contravention of International law or the comity of nations will not be solemnized by the Marriage Officer.

The Act also provides for registration of foreign marriages solemnized under other laws. When foreign marriage is registered under this Act, it will, from the date of registration be deemed to have been solemnized under the Act. Section 17 (1) lays down that where a Marriage Officer is satisfied that a marriage has been duly solemnized in a foreign country in accordance with the law of that country between the parties of whom at least one has a citizen of India and the party to the marriage informs to the Marriage Officer in writing that he or she desires the marriage to be registered under Section 17, the Marriage Officer may, upon payment of the prescribed fees, register the marriage. The Marriage Officer shall refuse to register the marriage (1) if the marriage is inconsistent with International law or the comity of nations and (2) does not satisfy the conditions of validity applicable to the marriage solemnized under the Act.

Section 23 of the said Act, provides for recognition of marriages solemnized under a law in force outside India, if that law provides for recognition of marriages solemnized under the Indian Law. If the Central Government is satisfied that the law in force in any foreign country for the solemnization of marriages contain provisions similar to those contained in the Act, it may, by notification in the official gazette, declare that the marriage solemnized under the law in force in such foreign country shall be recognized by courts in India as valid.

As I sat on theFour-legged piece of woodWith my hands and footBound together with bloody ropesThat had seen many a struggleMy lips held togetherWith a tattered old ragWith all my hopesDrowned in the sea of helplessnessWith all my sensesCrying out in wearinessWith all my painsLost in its own grievancesAmidst all this, memories flooded backLike mist, into my mind.Before I could react,They captured me and took meTook me to another worldThe world of reminiscenceLost, though I wasI saw many faces in that worldThose were familiar to meI saw my mother’s faceWet with drops of tearsBut of joy or sorrowI couldn’t make outHer soft hands outstretchedI saw her give her little oneOne last tight embrace.Then I saw my father’s faceBeaming with prideHe left me with these words,“If your fate tells youTo do your nation goodAnd if you have faithThen I have faith in you, dear child,I have faith in you.”Then I saw the merry faceOf my dear brotherWhose words, though unsaid

Expressed through a winkAnd a pleasing smileFilled my heart with warmthKindling it with glee and gratitude.But these were mere memoriesOf the day that altered my lifeThe day I had left homeAnd gone far to serve my countryAs I sat alone thereBound to that wooden chairLittle was not the effectThat these memories brought in meThey stirred my prideFilled me with courageEmpowered my tendonsSurging in me, the feelingThat I have a country to guardAnd her children to serveI summoned all my strengthAnd broke those chainsThat held me bound.I set my foot on the groundLooked at what lay aheadI took those long painful stepsAs I have a country to guardAnd her children to serve.

Krishna P. unnyA country to Serve


The day you landed on this earth

The moment my eyes fell on the tender “YOU”

The love that oozed out from my heart had no dearth

I still can feel the birth of my fatherhood through you..

I watched you anxiously and amusingly

I envied your mom for being so close to you

Finally held my nerves and held you nervously

Worrying...will my hands or my movement hurt you

The first step you took and the first word you spoke

The first day in nursery and the first day on the stage

The first chair you climbed and the first vase you broke

The first reactions at the display of my rage

All fond memories flash through me today

As I realize, from toddler to lady you have grown

My hands to hold or shoulder to rest may not be with you today

But My wishful prayers would be with you for which I am not known

Silently I have walked each step beside you

Imbibed confidence and humility without bending down

Shedding away fear of failure has instilled confidence in you

Now You have the strength to revive when you are knocked down

This new world may give new friends and experience to you

Take every step judiciously and cautiously

shield yourself with the morals and teachings given to you

Be sure my love and prayers will be with you unconditionally..

With Love to My DaughterC.P. Rajiv Menon

Krishnadevaraya's mother was a very orthodox woman. She had visited many holy places and had performed religious rites; she had given much in charity. Once she wanted to give fruit in charity and informed so to her son. Krishnadevaraya who had great respect for his mother immediately got delicious mangoes from Ratnagiri. But on the auspicious day when she was to present those fruits to Brahmins, the king's mother died.

The religious rites connected with her death went on for several days. Meanwhile, the king called a few Brahmins and said, "My mother's last wish was to offer mangoes to Brahmins. But she died before the wish could be fulfilled. What should I do now that she might earn the merit for giving away the fruits?" The greedy Brahmins replied: "Your Highness, only if you offer mangoes made of gold to Brahmins will your mother's soul rest in peace."

Ramakrishna came to know of this. The next day he went to the houses of those Brahmins, and asked them to come to his house next to perform his mother's ceremony.

The Brahmins came to Ramakrishna's house after receiving the gold mangoes from the king. Ramakrishna's servants closed all the doors of the house. They brought red-hot iron bars and stood before the Brahmins. The Brahmins were taken aback. Then Ramakrishna told them that his mother had knee pains and as remedy wanted Ramakrishna to burn her with red hot rods. But she died before he could do it. So he now wanted to execute her wish. When the Brahmins said he was unjust towards them, Ramakrishna says there is nothing unjust because they had just taken golden mangoes from the king.

Then the Brahmins understood their folly and left the golden mangoes at Ramakrishna are house and left.

Later when Krishnadevaraya asked Ramakrishna why he had behaved like that with the Brahmins, Ramakrishna said the palace treasury should not be exploited by these selfish people. It is not there to feed lazy follows. It is there to serve the people.

A Lesson to the Greedy

Hi Everybody,

Super Heros….Ben ten, superman, Spiderman…. there’re tons of them – but for me MY father is a super hero. I chose this topic to thank my father for his love, for playing a starring role and influencing my life. Father – the coolest 6 letter word to happen in my life.

F – For all things you have taught me

A – And for promising me that you will never leave me

T – Tagging along and supporting me

H – Helping me in everything I face

E – Everyday you are there for me

R – Raising me with utmost love and care

My mom says the first word I said is Papa. The happiest moment everyday in my life is when he knocks at the door in the evening. As he enters there is so much excitement, he hugs me, kisses me and carries me on his shoulder as if we are meeting after ages. Ina day several times he says I LOVE U ACHU. He is my inspiration, like a lighthouse to ships. He has always been a good listener, understands me, trusts me and advices me .fie supports all my extracurricular activities, weekly twice, he drives me for my dance class, coming from Minaabdulla to farwaniya and then to salmiya. How can I not be proud of himl Every evening we play games together, also teaching me to be powerful, self-

‘My Father, My Super Hero’

reliant and courageous. We pray and have dinner together. Sometimes when he drives home from Saudi and I demand for dinner out, and though he is tired and hates hotel food, cheerfully he will take me, cracking all sardarji jokes, instilling in me, the importance of family bonds and sacrifice. At bedtime, we play Kaun Banega Crorepati, it’s so much fun, he will ask me questions and if I don’t know any answer, I will use phone a friend and call my father for the answer, thus building self-confidence while imparting wisdom and knowledge. However busy he may be, he has never missed any of my cultural programmes and records them. When I am sick, he will be with me throughout, I feel secure when I cling on to his chest like a baby kangaroo. When mom scolds me, he will always say – my son – he is the best, he is the winner. Believe me, he has never scolded me till date.

He has taught me many valuable lessons on positive thinking and makes me apply it. He never says NO for anything. He has made me set my goals and every night before I sleep he makes sure that I read it. Friends! Believe me, I topped in all programmes I attended. It does really happen! The other thing he taught me is SECRET. Love everything in this universe and the universe will give you back everything you desire. Lastly he taught me to pray to the subconscious mind about whatever you wish, and for sure it really works our dreams do come true! Those who don’t believe in Superheroes have never met my father. Even when I am all grown up, I know, that I will be glad that I have my own, unique, Superhero, my best friend, the one and only one – who can make me smile in any circumstance – my father.

I LOVE YOU PAPA!!!
