Decoding Dharma – 3: Why Dharma.

Why Sanathana Dharma (Hindu Dharma).

Because none other seeks the light of knowledge for salvation, awakening of higher consciousness and liberation of the soul from the birth-death-rebirth cycle as Dharma does. No Abrahamic way is anywhere close to the truth. There is no heaven or hell. Only this. You attain supreme conscience or opt to be reborn up until you are ready to merge with the creation and become part of it all on attaining the state of  ‘Mukthi’ or ‘Moksha’ (‘Nirvana’ – enlightenment). How easily said than done. Ant and the boot story as I have mentioned many a time in my blog posts. I can never reach up to higher level than this. I am stranded. I am all admiration for those Maha Avatars who have managed to transcend through time and space into the Infinity, with immense mind control. This is after all the land of Gautama Buddha and Mahavira and Vivekananda and Ramana Maharishi. Of great Sadhus (sages), Rishis and Yogis. Just listening to their life stories suffices for me. I may take a 1000 janams (births) or probably much, much more to reach there, but who cares. I am aware of my own limitations. Unable to rise above this ground level of the pyramid of spirituality. Materialistic aspirations have dulled not just me. The damaging impact is all across the world and the purpose is lost. The one Adi Yogi who always resides in my heart is Lord Shiva.

Other folds have fielded their self-proclaimed prophets and saints and supposed sons of Gods as if we are running a race – and how wrongfully they succeed in weaning away masses from the one right path. It is not even apt to talk about them here when I think of the Maha Yogis who have walked the length and breadth of not just my country India, but the universe. India has had many of them, India is ancient. Cradle of civilizations. Only Hindus believe we are re-evolving after we devolved. It is next to impossible to make an Abrahamic understand this ingrained belief in every Hindu. This is why Dharma has to survive. The one true path. The one visible only to the seeker. Seeker of higher intelligence and truth. The only way you can bust your physical body to enter the realm of supreme existence. Other than on embracing death that is. Our Karma decides where we belong. Whether we must be recycled.

The way I look at our timeless temples, our Gurus, our ancestors, our Gods, our saints and even our mountains …. all this has changed vastly in recent years. I am now a staunch advocate for Hindu Dharma for this reason. I may never unravel the truth in my limited capacity and confinement, but let the seekers who have it in them go after the truth…

Sometimes this moves me to tears. The inability to go beyond my level. Sheer greed I know. The physical, mental limitations. The insignificance of my being. The pointlessness of material life.

The significance of our brain size proportionate to our body mass – i never paid more attention to this like I do now.

My prayer these days is : I can never reach up to you Oh My Mother and Father, but you can reach down to me. Elevate me a little.

Meditation is not easy. But a wise path to tread. Focus sharpens for the starters. Long winding road ahead… Yoga and meditation are good tools to work with in this direction.

The more you become aware of the bonding chains, of your level of intelligence that really matters, the less is the pain of suffering. More acceptance. More Peace. Om Shanthi!

At the end of the day, I am still the materialistic average human. Self-serving and taking refuge in small pleasures. The whole life becomes a summary of such trivialities. But how to get rid of mortal attachments. If I have to wait a lifetime every time, I shall. In this assignment that i have willingly taken in (I believe), let me score my best.

In this birth, in this defined role of mortal life wherein familial duties get duly prioritized, here and whenever possible I gaze at Thee in wonder. Who I cannot reach in a zillion ages. But I am happy to SEE, Thou are incomprehensible. My brains may burst to dust defining Thy dimensions. Thy Immensity. I am fulfilled right now. No aspirations. Ground level view is good and satisfying. Self realization can be at multi-level. I am at the entry stage. To realize that I can’t realize ever is my greatest achievement in this janam!

Pranaams to the greatest Mahans of Bharat! I cannot feel their presence, but I believe they are all around us. The vibes I sense on setting foot in our temples are a proof that I do not expect others to understand. Why great souls are not born these days. Materialistic vision clouds mind. Rituals drown or dissolve the essence. Meaningless pursuits lead us astray from the one goal: Mukthi. Liberation.

Is it time to shut down JNU.

 

Up above: One reason why JNU /useless universities spawning venom in the national capital must be shut down. This anti-national was research student of ‘African studies’ or some such (of what relevance to India God knows) for over 5 years at the expense of tax paying citizens.

You check the roster. Invariably the striking students will be majoring in useless worthless art subjects with no science or math quotient. Easy papers.  No sweat job. Irrelevant specializations that will not benefit the nation or community in any manner. Branches that can land you only in marketing or paid media invariably. If at all they are even that good.

Now tell me, who majors in history, civics, languages, african studies (!), arabic studies (!) in India these days. Universities are shutting down departments for want of students and even teaching staff. Only those who cannot fit in the science world, who cannot think productively, who are intellectually lazy opt for art subjects. Who are not competent enough to study for a degree in science/math/tech/medicine. These guys have lots of time and pent-up energy in store in art schools that they can expend on any number of slogan raising and other anti-national activities. Easiest for them to turn to activism. In fact its their hobby. Mostly spoilt kids from rich families with big fat pocket money or the reserved category guys with a hurt ego and a suppressed anger towards the progressive class. We have all crossed this phase of life. We have seen the difference between serious academics and trouble makers with too much time in their hands.

There is a saying, ‘if you do not heal from what hurt you, you will bleed on who didn’t cut you.’ This is sadly true of the dalit students in India. Their condition is not like it was centuries before. Neither did they suffer as the blacks did at the hands of whites. Indian class and caste system and prevalent discrimination of those ages was never as brutal or senseless as it was in the islamic/western world. Which society is one hundred percent perfect. While the government is trying its best to make amends, the scheduled castes and tribes do not appreciate what is coming their way. This community suffers from a collective ‘sense of entitlement’ in the present for what was lost for centuries to them. Understandable. But should that mean you have to take out your wrath over every trivial issue to the extent of crippling India. In the last 70 plus years, this community is more than compensated at the expense of India’s development and future. We in India give up our growth because our wronged brothers and sisters have to rise along with us. But what are you rising for? To cut us down to pieces? To tear up this nation? India stalls and lingers backward because we are waiting for our beleaguered scheduled castes/tribes to catch up with us. If not for you guys, we would be far ahead in every sphere, do you ever get it. You are pulling down every single arena of growth potential with you, do you ever get it. You are not rising with rest of India, in your fit of rage you want to bring down entire India to knees with you.

What kind of intelligentsia will admit to this truth. Will rub this truth in these thoughtless people. Who is selling farm lands today to get their kids flashy motor bikes. You cannot change your lot overnight. Growth lies in phases. Like from the pupa stage to caterpillar and then finally to the beautiful free butterfly. What reserved categories instead want to do today is, to kill the golden goose in one stroke. Finished.

Indian muslims are another headache. More than headache. A malaise. Born with a complex. For them arab nations that suppress human rights are holy. They are all arabs mentally. Human rights are issues only with secular democratic nations like the USA and India and UK and Europe and Australia. Arab countries are fixed deposits for them, never to be touched. India is the current deposit that they can withdraw from at their whim and fancy even if we are going to go bankrupt. Breed, breed, breed. Don’t stand up for national anthem. Don’t salute Bharat Matha. What an ungrateful and vengeful people we are having amid us. Trust factor with this community: zero. Loyalty to mother country: zero.

The same Ayeshas should be raising their voices in Saudi first. Wearing the burqa mind you. Take care ladies, tomorrow no man can talaq you over phone or post card because our Modi ji saw to that. You were as fragile, remember.

Frequently you hear media screaming of IITians joining (various) protest movements. Never. Never do the undergrad and post grad IITians go anti-national. The undergrads have just spent some 4 to 6 or even 8 years from high school, trying to get into the nation’s most esteemed tech schools. The post grads don’t have it easy either. They have to sit for GATE  which is one of toughest exams to clear in the world. You think after all this hardwork, the IITians can stoop to shitty JNU level. The IITians quoted in media are really the reserved category research candidates like our useless Kanhaiya Kumar, studying for over a decade withdrawing handsome stipends and producing zilch. All paid by you and me. There is even a rumour going on that the church has entered into IIT Madras campus and are feeding on vulnerable young IITians. Conversions taking place right in the campus as some students undergo severe academic stress.

All the government has to do is conduct this survey: how many of the protesting students study useless arts courses. How many are enrolled for STEM courses. This will give one a good profile of the protester mentality.

Paid media and a desperate Congress party are fueling these protest marches. I am not ruling out the hand of ISI and its journalist spies who have made it their top agenda to publicize the campus strikes in India. The D gang funding is making the Bollywood stars sing their tune like parrot. Why not. We all know who is behind Sri Devi’s unnatural death. Who could have masterminded it and who could have executed it offshore. Why Deepika Padukone has no guts to speak about it. Or even voice her doubt about Sri Devi. Is the mass public conscience flawed. We know what goes unsaid. I am not a politically connected person. I am a housewife. When you keep your bloody mouth shut for the death of a fellow star in unnatural circumstances, you have compromised Deepika. Shame on you. Bollywood has no locus standi to speak up on anything- because those who have no basic morality and ethics and principles in life have no right to talk of national things. If you have not taken up a role by ‘casting couch’ /financed by India’s dreaded terrorists operating via gulf, you have every reason to speak up. How much of your earned money is really clean. How many bollywood actors can answer this question to their heart honestly.

Jayalalitha Jayaram, our ex CM was a leading heroine of her times as well. But never did she preach or stand by anything anti-national.

Sometimes, a wrong has to be corrected by another wrong. If you cannot get it in you, be a silent observer. After all, for every injustice are you reacting and voicing your opinion. If you speak up, speak up for everything. Clean up your profession. Cleanse your earnings. Let there be no blood smear of our soldiers in your rupiah.

Shame on our tv channels for propping us these characterless women in their news casts. Are these our role models. Is being a movie star your only credential to force your opinion on the masses. Who is not aware how Khushboo painted the whole town red in her heydays. Today she is an icon for useless NDTV and some such sick channels. Have India’s standards dipped to this low.

Every single protesting body/student has an agenda against the government fueled by the Congress. That is the best the congress party can do. Whatever the congies could not achieve in 65 years, in four to eight years Modi ji is achieving. Revoking of article 370 for one. OROP for another. Ayodhya. Triple Talaq. Even illegal conversion by the christian church mafia in India given a free rein by the italian catholic Sonia Gandhi. Pushing out the illegal Bangladeshis.

What is CAA. What is NRC. Why should you bother if you have your papers correct. Even if you may not have papers, if you are son of this soil, you have nothing to fear and you know that. Why should India give asylum to muslim refugees. How many of these Ayeshas will ask the gulf nations to take in Palestenians and Syrians. Or even the Pakistanis. Or how much funding these Ayeshas are ready to pledge for personally to rehabilitate Bangladeshis in India. How many muslim families are you willing to adopt, after all being muslims yourselves.

India, as the world’s only and first and foremost dharmic nation, also has this dharmic responsibility of taking care of every global Hindu/Buddhist/Jain/Sikh. If our secularism prevents that, then it is time to redraft our constitution. Let us become a Hindu Rashtra constitutionally.

Never mind, CAA has no soft corner for Sri Lankan or Nepali Hindus. It is specific about Pakistan/Afghan/Bangla Hindus because these nations systematically decimate the Hindu community. Hindus here are the most persecuted historically and have nowhere to turn to.

Where in media have you seen coverage on conversion of Hindus with bribes and by brainwashing by the church. Such an intellectually dishonest life is theirs.

Where have you come across media questioning even the burqa – as basic as that. If they do, their heads will roll on ground in no time. But these guys have the audacity to talk about Sabarimala (even if I do not have to share popular opinion). India’s mosques do not allow entry to muslim women. Have you seen the debates on this on NDTV or write-ups in the Scroll or the Hindu.

Have you come across any media report prefixing nations like in – islamic Pakistan, islamic Malaysia, islamic Saudi? But India is Hindu nationalist to these bastards and scoundrels. If so, I am proud really! Muslims and Christians have to cover up their shame of conversion having lost their pedigree media guys – a Hindu’s conscience is clear. We don’t have to pretend to be who we are not by gene or culture or even geography. We don’t have to try to live the arab life. We are what we are. The proud follower of Sanathana Dharma. If this is nationalism to you, so be it. This is healthy unlike your sick pretense as if you belong in middle-east (where you can be sure of getting kicked in your belly by that desert camel, you fools).

Legal profession and media profession are the worst in the world. In both you have to defend murderers, most corrupt and liars and manipulators selling your soul. This is your survival mantra. A lawyer knows a murderer yet defends him in the court of law, his sacrosanct institution where he swears under oath. A journalists knows the truth yet sticks to his/her gun because he/she wants to shape up the public mind- manipulate and influence public opinion. A journalist’s view is never neutral.

This is what is happening in India today. The media wants you to think anti-India like them. Hell, no way will they succeed.

Modi will return for a third term so what can you do.

Is n’t it a wonder that you never blamed the EVMs when congress party won in two successive central elections but you are to quick to blame when BJP is elected. Did Rahul Gandhi win by manipulating the EVM in Wayanad?

Prime Minster Shri Narendra Modi ji. A one man army. An entire battalion is against him, but he pushes on relentless. For a man who wants nothing for himself this comes on effortlessly. The more venom you guys feed the public, the more will the Indian masses love him and respect him.

Indian economy is not suffering. It is restructuring. India is phasing out fossil fuel by 2030. People in mechanical spare parts industries tell us how in the place of 200 parts, the number you need for production is going down and down. By 2030, it may not even be 20 parts as production designs get simpler. As India goes gearless belatedly and switches over to electric vehicles, the line of production will get altered. Employment scene will fare worse and more and more jobs will be rendered irrelevant. Alternate employment generation is possible but manual labour volume will reduce globally. Didn’t we grow out of VCR and CDs.

And this is happening all at a time, all across the board: MECHANIZATION. COMPUTERIZATION. As simple as that. Many hundreds of thousands of jobs will go irrelevant but new positions created though in meagre numbers. Employment is an issue because one particular community in the world is over-breeding. Can you guys stop or control that.

Is it India alone that is seeing economic blues. Whole world economy is on downswing. India fares a lot better.

In India specifically, the restructuring that was pending and postponed for decades by the congress govt.,  is happening simultaneously at multiple levels right now. In economy (demonetization and GST), in revenues (PAN Aadhar linking to bank accounts), in production line, in farming, in real estate sector, in IT sector, even in our civil society (CAA/NRC) and political sphere (article 370). This is not a slow down at all. We have actuals. We have reality. Indian nation has to keep up pace.

Indians black money racket bombed with the demonetization move of Modiji. India had a parallel economy running. That financed the sports cars, foreign holidays, jewelry, imported limos and motor bikes, wedding extravaganzas, shows etc. Now when you have to link your PAN and Aadhar with your bank account and insurance and IT filing. how much of black money do you think one can hoard. May be you can still, but not to the extent it was possible in last couple of decades. You cannot have that dream villa any more by the sea side because you have to account every single paisa. Naturally those who have had a lucky streak so far have a lot to complaint. Have you ever heard of the Indian middle class complaining? Middle class is happy because real estate is finally at rock bottom realistic prices. Affordable.

Who says anyone suffered demonetization. The poorest I saw were happiest that the rich got punished. I could see their sense of satisfaction. This is what won Modi his elections.

Those of us middle class families who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear about. When you have to stash anything illegally, then it has to have you concerned.

Modi is doing the right things for India. I am happy and feel blessed, my nation is in right hands. You have to be bold and brave to be doing what he is doing. Balakot for instance. That guts. That steely nerve.

I have the honesty to see how good he is for this nation.

To hell with secularism. I will not allow islamization or christianization of my dear Bharat. I will do whatever in my capacity to stop that. Because democracy in India truly banks on demography in India. We have to remain a Hindu nation for our own sake. Only then does even our paid media stand a chance!

I am wishing my prime minister dheerg aayush – i pray for his health and long life every single day. I recite the Mrithyun jaya mantra for him. It’s not just me. Many are doing it across the country – including my friends. In every temple archana, we include his name. Modiji’s sincerity touches our heart. He is like family member to most of us.

Because you come across a gem like Modi ji once in a lifetime or centuries.

We don’t know when India will ever produce such a selfless man again. This man stays awake for 20 hours a day so rest of us can sleep peacefully. It is my duty to show him my gratitude. I am not a Sanghi . Neither am i attached to anything political. This is why I can openly state my frank opinion.

No muslim protested for Ayodhya verdict or for revoking of article 370 in India. No reason for them to protest for CAA either. Unless it is financed/ sponsored by vested interests.

Come to Tiruppur, Coimbatore, Kochi – see how many illegal muslim Bangladeshis are here. Crores of them in India. Why should we harbour them.

Modi ji. You are on right track. We the public are with you. Please do not go by the media.Or celebrity endorsements. If what they assessed was right, you would not be in Delhi today. We the public never trusted the social media or mainstream media or movie actors or celebrities. We put our trust in you. Don’t fold back. Don’t roll back.

I am from Tamil Nadu, one of the supposed anti-states. Believe me, vote share in Tamil Nadu and Kerala for BJP is forever increasing and for communists and Dravidian parties forever decreasing. You may have lost elections, but you are scoring better and better. Do not go by popular opinion. Every temple going Hindu loves you and adores you and sees what you are doing for Bharat Matha.

I have friends and relatives in every field – from medical to engineering to business and production line and IT field. Even in real estate and construction industry. Every single business person/ industrialist/ professional/ homemaker i have come across thinks you have put the nation on right tracks. In fact many of them are not doing good precisely at the moment. But like me, they have the honesty to admit openly, if they do not do it now, their children will have to do it at very high price tomorrow.

Modi ji you can postpone crisis to later generations like the congress did. But you have not done that. You are bravely taking on the challenges and resolving issues. Now that is an issue by itself to your critics and paid media and opposition.

Collateral damage is sometimes unpreventable. We the Indian public take cognizance of that. We factor that in your actions and results. We are ready to offer our share of sacrifice for the sake of the nation.

Go on, godspeed Prime Minister. Let not the anti-nationals deter you or bother you. I am sure they won’t.

Let the barking dogs bark at the mountain. The mountain can remain stubborn and rooted and calm and unwavering.

Meanwhile, India cannot afford politics in campuses. Only those who have been parents/are parents will know why. Amputate the political arms and wings of our universities. You will be doing the nation one more great favour, thank you!

Elephant At Crossroads

Humans are too very selfish and self-centered. Preoccupied with their list of priorities. What about the Wildlife. What happens to our wildlife. No place to go home to, caught in the crossfires? The case of the Indian/ Asian elephants traumatized by border skirmishes is of a serious nature.

As the CAA protests die down, I have finally chosen to voice my concern about the wild elephants crossing from India into Bangladesh and vice versa.

I am an avid supporter of CAA myself. Ever since I keep wondering, what happens to our elephants now. Are there earmarked elephant corridors between India and Bangladesh. Indian government hopefully allows in the Bangladeshi elephants. Is our government tagging the Indian elephants with any kind of identification collar. How to differentiate between the Indian elephants and Bangladeshi elephants. Census of Indian elephants could be reflecting an inflated figure in the absence of any distinction between the Indian and the Bangladesh elephants in the border areas.

Wildlife knows no man-made boundaries. The border dispute takes as much toll on wildlife as humans. Perhaps, far worse.

Crossing over to hostile territory may cost one one’s life:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/16/elephant-dies-1000-mile-journey-india-bangladesh

The tragic story of the mighty elephants separated by borders:

Elephants in a reserve forest along India-Bangladesh border struggle for survival

Indian elephants ‘strayed’ into Bangladesh ??? The choice of words is intriguing. So are our elephants numbered or radio-collared. I hope so. India to some extent takes care of the wildlife and keeps a headcount.

https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/nation/2018/12/10/indian-elephant-dies-near-rowmari-border

Elephants caught in human conflicts. Elephants in Burmese-Bangladesh border pay a heavy price thanks to the Rohingya Refugee influx.

The Bangladeshi illegal immigrant elephants in Indian soil keep officials on toes:

A breather: consolatory safe passage to illegal immigrant elephants :

Indian elephant shot dead in Bangladesh:

Man-Elephant conflict rages as Rohingya Muslim Refugees displace native elephants from their natural habitat in Bangladesh:

https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/governance/rohingya-refugees-face-the-rage-of-displaced-elephants-60531

The list goes on and on…

How many of the so-called liberals and leftists gave a thought to our wildlife bearing the brunt of border conflicts. The distressed elephants have nowhere to go, driven out of their homes to accommodate the so-called refugees. Is it morally or ethically permissible to settle the Rohingyas in elephant habitats that have been their natural home since the dawn of the universe. Let CAA include the Bangladeshi elephants with the list of Hindu immigrants from Bangladesh-Pakistan! The Indian tuskers too need a safe passage into Bangladesh and back. The jumbo population is dwindling at a very fast pace. The gentle giants that grace our beautiful country with their sunny presence may soon go extinct right in front of our eyes. Hopefully the governments of India and Bangladesh will resolve the elephant migration issue as well in our border areas. This is one special case of illegal Bangladeshi immigrant Elephants that may be given an exemption to overstay in India or seek asylum in India!
