Welcome to our site
This blog is the result of my father Sri Devendranath Ekkaladevi’s idea to have a family tree built and posted online. We hope to also use this as a platform to share knowledge and help people connect. We urge visitors to provide us with comments/feedback.
Has it ever occurred to you that there is a purpose for the life God has blessed us with.That there is a reason for everything big and small that happens along the way.
Why is it that we’re working so hard for name, fame, money and other material goals, while none of which matters once we leave this world? Rich or poor, strong or weak, everyone in this world has to pass away some day.
Why then, do we pretend to believe that we are going to live till eternity. And we somehow can take with us, everything material that we’ve gathered by this relentless struggle?
It’s time we woke up from our slumber and wiped away the mist of ignorance. Let go off the thoughts clouded with selfishness and greed. It doesn’t always happen that you get a chance to correct your mistakes, make it up to the ones you care for. And when life is kind enough to give you that second chance, don’t hesitate to grab the opportunity to do what is right.
This blog is a tiny effort to spread good faith. And while I don’t expect a lot of people to visit this site, I’m hoping it would still serve the purpose for near and dear ones. If you’re a visitor that stumbled upon this site, I urge that you take a minute to read through the content and provide us your input. There is no intention other than an incessant desire to do something good and worthy, that has gotten me to design this site.
