God's Own People

By K.R.Viswanathan Pillai
We know that Kerala is the God’s own land. No land in this world is so beautiful as Kerala and all Keralites are proud that Kerala is called as ‘God’s own land’ But in the land of God, do the people, be called as God’s own people? No, God’s own people are everywhere in any place and in any community or any religion. The Hindus believe that the God was born as human being in several incarnations to protect the world against treacherous people. God incarnated to bring harmony and destroy the devil in man. No religion encourages hatredness between people. Religion teaches spiritual values, and to live in harmony with other living beings and the nature. Love all living beings is the truth, but the triumph of truth is waning. Our tradition, and culture today are giving way to western way of life. Frequent bandh, political killing, violence against women children and the aged are the order of the day. The society is at the crossroads. It suffers unprecedented onslaught of nefarious, and selfish people. The common men and women face unbridled corruption at all levels in their own government. The poverty, illiteracy and poor health burdened the society. The nature is destroyed for gains. The government is coming out with economical growth rate figure, anticorruption drive, and pledge to protect women and children, health and education for all. We struck to believe in the propaganda of our own power. People want to lift themselves up. Still we have India’s amazing religious spirit, our determination to serve the community, our tolerance and family tradition We have several non-government societies and associations to supplement t he governments in taking up welfare measures. There are people who are born to serve. They are the God’s own people
