These individuals, like the foundation pillars of a superb building have remained invisible. Our grateful thanks to them too. Indian spiritual wisdom says that man’s only purpose in life is to seek May we all benefit intellectually and spiritually by reading these God in this birth. For millennia, experience has honed this to practical precious gems and assimilate the eternal truths embedded in them. methods whereby human beings move in graded doses from Dharma, May the Grace of the two Gurus always abide by us all. Artha and Kama to Moksha. Moksha is the ultimate stage where the soul, as Jivatma merges with the Oversoul or Paramatma in Divine Bliss. Om Tat Sat. Though we always think that only the soul is in search of the Divine, the reverse also is true i.e, the Divine also pines for union with the V. D. Ramanathan Jivatma and hence uses several stratagems towards this end. 27 January 2016 One of the ways by which God tries to woo humans is to manifest Himself as a human and elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. He manifests Himself in various forms, as Avatars, Rishis, Mahans and Siddha Pursuhas. His Holiness Bhagawan Sri-La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal was one of them and the unique way by which He spread the message of truth was to Divinely materialise typed articles on various topics encompassing the essence of the four Vedas. To reassure the world that the physical body is only a temporary and ephemeral abode of the immortal soul, Sri-La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal continues His Divine Mission as Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal. The Divinely materialised articles, a first in the spiritual history of the world, initially, when they were first vouchsafed to Sri-La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal were typed either in English or Tamil. Tiruvacagam says that the Divine is older than the oldest and newer than the newest. We can understand the truth in this statement, as the articles materialised by Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal are straight from the laser printer! Hinduism is always in the vanguard of progress and this is but one small example of that fact. In the series of books published under the generic title Holy Panchakshara, we are happy to bring out not only the earlier volumes which had contained the articles materialised by Sri-La- Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal but also the current ones vouchsafed to Sri-La-Sri Sakthevadivel Swamighal. viii ix Message guru’s grace L V.

Nair Editor, The Free Press Journal and Former Sheriff of Bombay I venture to share with thousands of readers of the Journal some unique experiences my esteemed friend and I, Sri. S. Ramakrishnan, Editor of the Bhavan’s Journal, Bombay, had at Madras in October last. Some time back Sri Ramakrishnan received a letter from Sri-La-Sri Pandrimalai Swamighal stating that he had been directed in a dream by Lord Sri Guruvayurappan to show him and his family a vision of Mother Goddess Parashakthi and that he should meet Swamiji on Friday, October 9, 1970, at Madras. divine exPeriences As at that time Kulapati Munshiji was in Sri Harkisondas Hospital, Bombay, undergoing treatment for acute bronchial pneumonia, Sri Ramakrishnan implored Swamiji to excuse him and give him another opportunity. Swamiji wrote back appreciating the position. Later Sri Ramakrishnan received a telephonic message from Sri P.V.Narasimha Rao, Education Minister of Andhra Pradesh and Vice Chairman of Bhavan’s Kendra, enquiring if he could urgently go over to Hyderabad for a day or two to discuss an issue concerning the Bhavan. After getting the approval of Kulapatiji whose health had by then improved somewhat, Sri Ramakrishnan went to Hyderabad on October 11 and then to Madras on October 13. He went to Swamiji’s camp at Madras at “Kairali”, Sri K.K.Varma’s residence at Nungambakkam. It was 9 p.m., After prostrating before Swamiji, hardly had Sri Ramakrishnan seated himself, when from among the large number of assembled devotees, a young girl became “possessed” - a divine spirit had entered her. Addressing him, the girl said in effect: “I am Mother Alamelu Mangai of Tiruchanur. Pandrimalai Swamighal is my son. When did I call you? xii 1 Why are you late in coming?” Swamiji held the Murti in his palm and closing it, asked the Sadhu, Sri Mahalingam and myself to hold his closed palm tightly. Swamiji then As directed by Swamiji, he prostrated before the “possessed” girl i.e. prayed to Mother Parasakthi to take away Her son, Vinayaka Murti, Mother Goddess, by way of apology and soon she became normal. from his hands. After some time, Swamiji graciously asked him to hold a piece of When Swamiji opened his hand, the Murti had disappeared. Later, at blank paper in one hand and a pen in the other. Swamiji then prayed to the behest of Swamiji, the same Murti was found in the pocket of Sri Lord Muruga. After a minute, Sri Ramakrishnan opened the piece of Mahalingam. paper and found in it an upadesa for him written in English. I have heard that it is rather difficult to materialise holy darbha or Swamiji asked him to extend his stay by a day. On the second day, kusa-grass. Swamiji got it in a trice. around 5 p.m. when I went to Swamiji Sri Ramakrishnan too had come there. At that time he requested Swamiji to materialize an article Another incident that took place was this. Swamiji gave Sri for publication in the Bhavan’s Journal. Swamiji then asked Sri N. Mahalingam a long string of 5 or 6 yards and asked him to cut it into Mahalingam of Coimbatore, who had come with me to mention the several pieces. He did so with the help of a pair of scissors. At the subject. But he, however, left the choice to Swamiji. Then Swamiji bidding of Swamiji, all the pieces at once joined together perfectly and asked him to hold a piece of paper in one hand and a pen in the other. became the original string. In a minute, he opened the paper wherein were inscribed the words I stayed back for a couple of days more. On the next day I requested “World Experience” in English.

    70 Indian J. Intell. Prop. L. FROM LADDU TO GI AND A FTER: A POST-GRANT A NALYSIS OF THE TIRUPATI LADDU REGISTRATION Sumathi Chandrashekaran* I. INTRODUCTION That religion is a money-spinner is a truism repeated frequently enough. But the commercializing potential of intellectual property rights in religion appears to have been discovered only recently in India. This throws up some fascinating conundrums for anyone observing the Indian IP system, which in any case is grappling with preserving the old and broaching the new. This tussle has had no better advertisement in the recent past than in the grant of a geographical indication (henceforth, “GI”) to the Tirupati Laddu. This note tries to enquire into some of the controversial issues raised in the aftermath of the grant, in light of the policy objectives of the law governing geographical indications in India, as well as recent decisions of the administrative authorities. The note concludes with a speculative discussion on the rationale for applying for a GI on the Laddu, and whether those objectives have been met. II. THE BACK-STORY: FROM LADDU TO GI A GI is a name or sign attached to goods that signifies the geographical location of origin or manufacture of the goods. The GI may also by extension indicate an inherent quality, reputation or other characteristic associated with the goods. India has embraced GI’s as part of its system of protecting intellectual property rights with enthusiasm by designing a statute, i.e., the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 [henceforth, “the Act”], to favour agricultural, natural and manufactured goods, including handicraft products and foodstuffs.

  • GRANT of GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION DESIGNATION to TIRUPATI LADDU: COMMERCIALIZATION of FAITH? Meghna Banerjee & Susanah Nausahd*
    GRANT OF GI TO TIRUPATI LADDU 107 GRANT OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION DESIGNATION TO TIRUPATI LADDU: COMMERCIALIZATION OF FAITH? Meghna Banerjee & Susanah Nausahd* Geographical Indications (GI) are signs which identify goods as originating in a specific geographic location. Being a collective right, it seeks to protect the economic interests of an entire community of producers from a particular region who specialize in the making or manufacturing of a native product. Although many products of Indian origin such as Basmati are not adequately protected under TRIPS, at the domestic level India ensures that GI protection is uniformly available to all types of products. While such protection has the potential to bring about economic prosperity of marginalized sections of society, the conferment of GI status to products like Tirupati Laddu have raised concerns regarding the standards followed by the authorities while registering a GI. Critics point out that the grant of GI tag to the Laddu dilutes the very essence of GI protection and facilitates the commercialization of faith symbols by a religious shrine. This paper examines the controversial issues surrounding the conferment of GI designation to Tirupati Laddu. I. INTRODUCTION Geographical indications (GIs) are a class of intellectual property which is used primarily to identify products as originating from a particular geographical area. In addition to providing consumers accurate information about the origin of a product, they confer exclusive rights on the producers of a geographical region to use distinctive signs for differentiating their products from competing goods in the market.1 These signs like “Basmati” or “Kashmir Pashmina” elicit expectations of quality or reputation among consumers based on the geographical origin of the goods in question.2 GIs also enhance the marketability of the products by assuring * Students of the 4th and 1st Year respectively, W.B.

  • Fssai in News
    FSSAI IN NEWS Dated: 20.09.2017 (Wednesday) E-Paper Finally, Tirupati Laddu gets FSSAI clearance, TTD gets food safety licence The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), the governing body of the Sri Venkateswara temple atop Tirumala, has at last obtained a license from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). According to reports, the FSSAI license has been obtained for its famous laddu prasadam, and the food that it distributes under the Annaprasadam scheme. The FSSAI had also asked the Central Licensing Authority in Chennai to inspect the 'pottu' used in preparing the temple's famous laddus. This order came after an RTI application by a Bengaluru-based RTI activist in December last year. This would mean that the TTD will now follow regulations of the Food Safety Standards Act. The Hindu reported that the TTD, which initially objected to the directive that would allow non-Srivaishnavites into the kitchen (for inspection), changed its mind and applied for the licence last month, following which it was granted. FSSAI IN NEWS In his compliant, the RTI activist reportedly wrote, “The cooks who are in preparation of these laddus in large quantity are found wearing no proper dress. They are working in half naked dress and found sweating due to heavy heat at the kitchen. These cooks are not wearing any hand glove, apron and other safety norms.” The laddu is a major source of the TTD's revenue and adds several crore rupees to its annual budget. It is made with flour, sugar, ghee, oil, cardamom and dry fruits.

  • Intellectual Property Rights and the Handloom Sector: Challenges in Implementation of Geographical Indications Act
    Journal of Intellectual Property Rights Vol 17, January 2012, pp 55-63 Intellectual Property Rights and the Handloom Sector: Challenges in Implementation of Geographical Indications Act Soumya Vinayan† Council for Social Development, Southern Regional Centre, Hyderabad 500 030, India Received 19 July 2011, revised 15 September 2011 Actors at the local, national and global level, through their policies, institutional structure and processes, influence livelihood decisions irrespective of geographical setting. The introduction of intellectual property rights (IPR) under the WTO regime demonstrates how decisions taken at an international level affect millions of livelihoods across the globe. This has necessitated national governments to introduce new laws and legislation such as the enactment of Geographical Indications Act of India in 1999.
