You might remember the TV advertisements where the Hindi cinema super star Amitabh Bhachan calls people to give polio vaccination to their little kids. Even though we blindly believe the government statistics without questioning it, we do not know how effective the vaccination is or how credible the programme is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally just some time before I did the following interview, four little kids died because of the anti-measles vaccination in Thiruvallur in Tamil Nadu state. Also fifteen kids are hospitalized for the same reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I talked to Dr. Hari, who is a social activist and a practicing homeo doctor from Vayanad in Kerala. He is actively involved in Anti Polio Vaccination programme and raising awareness on the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Email us your comments and suggestions on the episodes to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;info@mpod.in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.podbazaar.com/rss/126100789566373916"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to subscribe to our &lt;a href="http://www.podbazaar.com/rss/126100789566373916"&gt;RSS feed&lt;/a&gt;.

It was to see Theyyams in its pure form. The ones you see in the television or in other towns in Kerala would be for the political processions or some cultural presentation packs offered to foreigners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theyyam is an artform of the Dravidians. And it has a revolutionary concept behind it since the Theyyam artists are from low-caste communities like Malayan, Vannaan etc. Even the high-caste people will have to worship the Gods come in the form of Theyyam, so we can say it was against the then caste-system in Kerala. But I cannot say it is completely free of caste system, because in the blessings time, Theyyam give special blessings to the people from the high-caste families and even call out their family names and Theyyam goes to them to give blessings. Anyways, it can be considered as the Dravidian/Tribal resistance against the Brahmin rule in Hinduism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The costume is so colorful and I could see many theyyams like Vishnumurthy (Narasimham), Kaara Gulikan (Sivan), Chamundi, Attakkaatt Bhagavathy, Poomaaran etc. I also had the prasaadam oottu and it was so different and fun out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theyyam is performed in Kavu (the small shrines) and the interesting thing I found was there is no idol in these kavus, but only a lamp lighted during the Theyyam season. In other times, there is no daily ritual happening here. In Kakkaatt, Theyyam is peformed once in every three years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People seem to have less belief in Theyyam as God when I observed the crowd. Just like how you see in the Catholic churches. How many of the Catholics truly believe or respect the God that comes in the form of bread and wine? The one similarity I could see in Theyyam and Catholicism is this. Theyyam is the God that comes to earth and bless his/her devotees just like Catholics believe in Holy Communion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to &lt;a href="http://thulasid.blogspot.com"&gt;Blogger Thulasi&lt;/a&gt; for helping with the interview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please let us know your suggestions and comments.

Paul Poovathingal CMI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; who has earned the name the "singing priest." Fr. Paul is a graduate in English and Psychology from Christ College, Bangalore. Though he had exposure to music at the age of 17, his seminary duties did not allow him much time to presume it. But after graduation the pull was too strong to resist and at the age of 31 he dedicated himself to the study of Carnatic music. But why was it so? It is not common for a Christian priest to take to classical Carnatic music! Says Fr. Paul, "as a priest my search was for reaching divinity; I felt that music was the best means to achieve the goal and realise divinity." He joined the Sangita Shironmani course at the University of Delhi where he also did and continued with his Masters and won a gold medal. While in Delhi he had learnt music from a few eminent artistes like T.R. Subramaniam. Later he pursued his Ph.D. at the University of Madras under the guidance of Prof. Karaikudi Subramaniam. In Chennai he found gurus in K. J. Yesudas and more recently Vaikom Jayachandran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In this episode, Fr.
