Saravana (a name meaning 'thicket of reeds), in a cow shed, his parents being
unable to find more suitable lodgings (which explains one part of his name).
The philosopher's true name seems to mean "one who carries a bamboo staff"
[Pāninī (VI.i.154)]. According to Patañjali (Mahābhāsya iii.96), the name indicates a
School of Wanderers who were called so, not so much because they carried a
bamboo staff as because they taught "Don't perform actions, don't perform
actions, quietism (alone) is desirable to you".

ancient Indian philosophy and the ancient school of Indian fatalism which reached
the height of its popularity during the rule of the Mauryan emperor Bindusara.

1.
When Union Minister for Communications, C.M. Stephen, announced that the Post
and Telegraph Department was going to bring out a certain commemorative
stamp, an incensed Cho Ramaswamy felt Captain Subhash Saxena, was a more
deserving case for such an honour.
Knowing fully well that his sentiments would not be shared by the powers that are
in Delhi, Ramaswamy decided to issue his own Saxena commemorative stamp. In
the latest issue of Tughlaq, Ramaswamy devoted a full page for what he called a
"facsimile version" of the Saxena stamp he had conjured up, bearing the legend
"Tughlaq 1980" with a portrait of Captain Saxena and his name in Tamil and
English. Significantly, the stamp had no face value as Ramaswamy felt that it would
have no validity.
He was proved wrong. Whether by design or by mistake, the Post and Telegraph
Department honoured the Saxena stamp. The Tughlaq office on Mount Road,
Madras, was flooded with envelopes, affixed with Saxena stamps and duty
cancelled by the sorting post offices all over the country. Whether the philatelists
would also accord the same treatment to the Saxena stamp remains to be seen.
Who was Captain Subhash Saxena?

The lone passenger when Sanjay Gandhi crashed the plane.

12. Whose Prayer?
• Dear God, master of the universe, compassionate and merciful:
we who are steeped in sin, kneel in supplication before your
throne and beseech you to recall from this world X, son of _____,
who was a man of great piety. Take him away, Lord, for he runs
away from fragrance and chases after filth. He hates the bright
sun, preferring dark labyrinths. He has nothing but contempt for
modesty but is fascinated by the naked and the shameless. He
hates sweetness, but will give his life to taste bitter fruit. He will
not so much as look at housewives but is in seventh heaven in the
company of whores. He will not go near running waters, but loves
to wade through filth. Where others weep, he laughs; and where
others laugh, he weeps. Faces blackened by evil, he loves to wash
with tender care to make visible their real features. He never
thinks about you but follows Satan everywhere, the same fallen
angel who once disobeyed you.
