Vichiisms -sr no 3(from the archives)

Everyday is not a Sunday, is an archaic / kid stuff cliché/quote. To borrow from the current Indian political class phrase, “the fact of the matter” is that the system of week commencing from Sunday onwards is perhaps man-made, and therefore today’s Sunday, could have been something else in the past.

The ultimate knowledge, is represented by a “circle sign” formed by touching the tips of the forefinger and the thumb representing the individual and the Universal souls respectively , and excluding the three gunas (sattva, Rajas, and Thamas), represented by the other three fingers.

The sign is referred to as a “chin mudra” (shoonya) representing ultimate knowledge; there is neither a beginning, nor an end, and deities such as “dakshina moorthy” , “sharadamba” are depicted with there right hand in this “mudra”.

This week’s quote therefore

Every day indeed is a Sunday.
