Education and Health services must be given priority world wide.

          In Bhutan, teachers, medical staff will now be highest paid civil servants.

A great decision of the king of Bhutan that teachers, medical staff will now be highest paid civil servants. 

One built future of nation and mankind and the other maintain the present and Future of nation. 

What our country is doing?

There was a time when we had Nalanda, Taxila universities, Vikaramshilla. 

Now we have nothing. 

If we really want to be world leader we have to invest in education and health. 

There must be UPSC examination for teachers. 

Only top quality will be permitted to join that job and their salary will be at par. 

Bhutan is the best example. Weldon Bhutan. 

Why we are ignoring quality education? 

We have only quantity education. 

After 10th class, education must be only for those who have class , potential. 

And only teacher will be permitted to judge her/ his students. 

Country must free education from the clutches of government - state (providence) or nation. 

Give prominent scholars to take charge of different bodies with new name as was before British rule. 

Each body should be made premier in few courses as was in our past gradually they will develop in other courses on higher level. 

Till then, use those who have qualified minimum UPSC Preliminary Test. 

Time is running out. Don't play with nation's future.

Ashoka Lion Pillar.

This image of Lion was built in Emperor Ashoka period. 

It is built on 44 feet tall single piece of sand stone pillar and is polished in glass like shine. 

More than 30 pillars were made of sand stone and were taken all over India and paced in his entire empire.

Think what amount of labour and technology was used to built and in its transportation. 

The national emblem of India and a mark of Emperor Ashoka's visit to Sarnath, this 50 m tall Sarnath pillar crafted out of a stone is an impressive structure with four lions on top. 

I have seen them in Sarnath and Vaishali. 

These mighty pillars himself says its story.

5 June, Environment Day

                                                       
                                                                   Himalayan Busk

                                                                        Flood

                                                            No water, No pond

                                                          I am a old tree of the forest

                        Dry Kanwar Lake, Asia's biggest sweet water lake in Bihar in Ganges bed.

Friends today is 5 June, Environment Day, but whose environment day?
Nature, Human Mind, Leaders, Officers, Businessman, Common man or everyone means in totality environment is danger? 

I am saying this because every year slogan appears "save environment", but from whom? 

Without knowing the enemy how we can take action? 

We can't shoot arrows in air. And what we get with these only slogans, Seminars in big hotels, Government functions, Lectures, and Articles in News Papers, Magazines, and debates on TV Channels with all big knowledge. 

Are these really useful?

Many promises came from many big guns but nothing happened. 

People's rotten mind can't take decisions in favour of Nature they see only money; accruing wealth is there only wish and greed. 

And without operation you can't cut out rotten parts of mind which is Cancerous. 

In the name of environment controlling a big chunk of money has been invested by our government but the result is siffer. Why? Because no one wants to listen, the reason is already mentioned above.

Rivers a few name like Ganga, Yamuna, Gomati, Narmada, Sone and many more are drying or dyeing? 

Every year ground water and underground water is going down. 

RO water, Bottle water are only greedy business. Why government is not taking action upon this ?

Why we are cutting mountains and plateaus in the name of development? 

I myself have seen many small plateaus are no more which were 20 years before in their areas. 

During my tours I have found that we have badly misused the nature for our greed and government (officers and leaders) knowingly are silent. 

Disturbing the balance of the nature environment is getting affected. 

And it’s not happening at one place worldwide its happening. 

Which is affecting the climate and we are crying – GLOBAL WARMING. 

As in a story a shepherd boy cries false Wolf came, Wolf came and people came to rescue him seeing this he laughed and villagers went back in anger, but when one day in reality a WOLF came, the boy cried loudly but no one came to rescue him and he was killed. 

Is this not happening with ‘SAVE ENVIRONMENT’ and going days and years people will close their eyes its noting but a simple slogan and it’s of no use because nothing is happening concrete on ground level which can be a mile stone.

Even in agriculture there must be a strict order that CROPS will be shown only according to the area with water capability. 

The area which has less water can’t be permitted to sow Rice, Sugarcane, Cotton, Jute etc. 

Jungles have been chopped off. Forest fire are harming too.

Few days before I saw on face book that – “India sets Guinness World Record, plants 66 million trees in just 12 hours in Madhya Pradesh”.
It’s great but tells me -
What a joke? 66 million trees have been planted or Saplings. 

In Himalaya in the name of making roads and modern facilities we are cutting Trees which are hundreds of years old and endangering our Himalaya with it all the rivers which coming from Himalaya. 

We are making entire South Asia or Indian Sub Continent in danger. 

If we want our Future safe for our children, for our Flora Fauna, for Mother Earth, for Human life and Animals we must have to take tough step.

Any order and decision comes from above it works like PYRAMID. 

Likewise any obeying of order works like PYRAMID too. 

Hope we will take step in right manner with tough iron hand.

I believe our democratic Top posts. 

HAPPY ENVIRONMENT DAY.

Agreement or Girmit Bhojpuri laborers who settled Mauritius, Fiji, Dutch Guiana, Suriname, West Indies etc with their Blood.

                                              

                                                    

Agreement or Girmit Bhojpuri laborers who settled Mauritius, Fiji, Dutch Guiana, Suriname, West Indies etc with their Blood.

अग्रीमेंट बोलना नहीं आता था, शब्द मुश्किल था क्यूंकि अंग्रेजी का था, वो भोजपुरी और अवधी बोलने वाले लोग थे, तो उन्होंने उसका अपभ्रंश गिरमिट कर दिया।

They didn’t know how to pronounce ‘agreement’ as it was a difficult English word, they were Bhojpuri and Awadhi speaking people so they modified it to Girmit for their ease of pronouncing it.

These girmit laborers settled Mauritius, Fiji, Dutch Guiana, Suriname, West Indies etc. 

They were taken there by British companies like East India company on the ground that life is beautiful there and ground is full of Gold and they are going only for few years. 

Once they earned they will be back. 

But this was not the truth. 

They were laden in ships in Kolkatta like animals - goats and sheeps.

During their painful month long journey many dead in the ships and were thrown in the sea. 

Those who survived were left on their luck. 

They had to work hard for their Masters company because they were bounded labour.

Only due to their hard labour and the name of God they survived the torturous life and made that country a living place which the world is seeing now. 

In this journey they never left their belief in Ramayana and Mahabharata. 

Even today in their songs these Girmit people remember their relatives of India, pain, hardship, torture and their Mother Land, Ganga, Yamuna and many more things with tears in their eyes.

These countries were torture camps for them. 

Only death gives them freedom. 

Those who were without family married eligible ones. 

Barrier of cast broke down, because all of them were facing same torture and disrespect. 

So they were Indian's only named as "Girmit Labour". 

With their hard labour and knowledge they developed these nations.

Folk songs were on their lips and they always remembered their relation with India and their birth land.

That's why when they got independence they tried hard to come to India in search of their forefathers land and their relation.

Many found that one. Those found got great welcome with tears in their eyes. 

And those who didn't find are still trying. 

Each year many comes to meet their relatives. 

Due to their hard work and knowledge they are leading those nations.

Hindutva is the base of Indian Democracy!

Hindutva is the base of Indian Democracy! 

Hindutva is a liberal thought, a human friendly religion, a "VASUDHAVAYA KTUMBKAM" thought. 

Your Godhead is the proof of God himself. – Vivekananda.

With all respect for all human being, I want to state that only due to Hidutva India is a secular country. 

Not only after independence from British rule, but even before British or Muslim rule India was a liberal country.

whether it’s the question of religion, social, cultural or economic ground. 

Muslims came and settle in Kalikat in Kerala because its Hindu king permitted them and first mosque was built by that Hindu king in 7 - 8 century. 

Santana or Hindu Dharma never objected anyone to follow her/ his Dharma.

Muslims are one example. From ancient period invaders attacked and settled in India only due to liberal Hindu society. 

From Greek, Bactria, Huns, Mongols, Arabs, all came as invader and gradually settled here without affecting the basic character of Hindu people. 

No effect or can say less effect can be seen in this regard on the majority Hindu population. 

Due to which gradually they settled and mixed with Hindu society. 

One more thing happened with them either they accepted Hindu Dharma with love like Greek, Bactria and Huns etc.

Or accepted many rituals of Hindu Dharma as Muslim did. 

They accepted many rituals of Hindu marriages, food habit and many social customs.

Muslim women in India use vermilion in marriages and many other local marriage rituals are followed in different parts of country.

Sufism flourished only in India and only due to liberal Hindu culture and society.

There are millions of examples regarding this. 

 

Why Pakistan became a religious state (theocracy). 

 

Hindu never fought a Crusade. 

India always believed in one leadership.

India always believed in one leadership. During Nehru he was the tallest leader.

During Indira, she was the tallest leader dispit Atal je was a great orator too. 

This is the period of Narendra modi and he is the tallest leader of our period. 

And its good for nation.  

The whole world is selecting or electing south paw party and leaders means hardliners. 

Seems middle path has lost its charm all over world among its public.

And this is the reason tension is growing world over. 

Buddha Purnima or Buddha's Birth Day

Pictures from Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India

Today is Buddha Purnima Day. 

On this day, Buddhists celebrate the commemoration of the birth of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, thought to have lived in India from 563 B.C. to 483 B.C. 

He is also known as 9th Avatara (incarnation) of Vishnu by Hindus as by born he was a Hindu and Chatriya or Rajput.

Although Buddhists regard every full moon as sacred. 

The moon of the month of Vaisakh has special significance because on this day the Buddha was born, attained enlightenment (nirvana), and attained parinirvana (nirvana-after-death of the body) when he died.

Traditions of Buddha Purnima. - 

Shakyamuni Buddha was the son of the king of the Shakyas, a small clan whose kingdom was located at the foothills of the Himalayas, south of what is now central Nepal, fifteen miles from Kapilavastu. 

Shakya of Shakyamuni is taken from the name of this tribe and muni means sage or saint. 

His family name was Gautama (Best Cow) and his given name was Siddhartha (Goal Achieved) though some scholars say this is a title bestowed on him by later Buddhists in honour of the enlightenment he attained.

Even though many Buddhists observe Buddha's historical birth on 8th April, the exact date remains in question. 

Although modern archaeological and historical research confirms that Prince Siddartha Gotama lived around this time.

On Buddha Purnima, people dress in white clothes and give out kheer (a rice pudding) as, according to legend, a woman named Sujata once offered Gautam Buddha kheer on his birthday and it has since become a tradition.

The dharmacakra or dharma wheel is a symbol often seen during Vaisakh. 

It is a wooden wheel with eight spokes. 

The wheel represents Buddha's teaching on the path to enlightenment. 

The eight spokes symbolize the noble eightfold path of Buddhism.

What Do People Do?

Many Buddhists visit temples on Vaisakh to listen to monks give talks and recite ancient verses. 

Devout Buddhists may spend all day in one or more temples. 

Some temples display a small statue of Buddha as a baby. 

The statue is placed in a basin filled with water and decorated with flowers. 

Visitors to the temple pour water over the statue. 

This symbolizes a pure and new beginning.

Many Buddhists pay special attention to Buddha's teachings during Vaisakh. 

They may wear white robes and only eat vegetarian food on and around Vaisakh. 

Many people also give money, food or goods to organizations that help the poor, the elderly and those who are sick. 

Caged animals are bought and set free to display care for all living creatures, as preached by Buddha.

Friends to follow his middle path is the best gift we can give to Buddha and the world.Buddha taught 4 noble truths.

They are - 

(a). – There is suffering in the world.

(b). - This suffering has a cause.

(c). – The cause is desire, and

(d). – It is possible to put an end to suffering, if desire is removed.

Buddha prescribed the 8 fold path. These are - 

(A). – Right View,

(B). – Right Resolution,

(C) - Right Words,

(D) - Right Action,

(E). – Right Living,

(F). – Right Effort,

(G). – Right Thinking, and 

(H). – Right Concentration.

Buddha stressed upon the importance of “Middle Path” and said that one should avoid the 2 extremes of strict abstinence and self denial for spiritual discipline and too much indulgence in worldly pleasures. 

He preached for Ahimnsa (Non - Violence).

Mahabharta - An Epic.

Mahabharta - 

The writing of Mahabharata went through 3 steps. 

First it was written and known as “Jay”, the number of sloka was 8,800. It was the collection of stories of Victory.

 Second time it is written by the name of “Bharat” and the number of sloka went up by 24,000. 

The name changed to ‘Bharat’, because in it the history of Vedic”Bharat” Kul is written.

 Third and final edition came by the name as “Mahabharata” and the number of sloka got its final touch 1, 00,000.

 

Another name of ‘Mahabharata’ is “Satsahastri Sanhita” (Collection of 10 million or 1 lakh sloka). 

Now it became the story of Greater India - Mahabharta.

Mahabharata is written by Ved Vyasa. Most scholars say that the war of ‘Mahabharta’ was fought in between BC ‘2000 – 1000’. 

First time the book of ‘Mahabharata’ is mentioned in ‘Ashwalayan Guha sutra’. 

‘Sankhayan Guha sutra’ mentions the name of Mahabharata preacher ‘Vasampayan’ ‘Jamini’ etc.

Scholars say that Ramayana is composed around 600 BC. 

In that case Macdonald says that Mahabharta is composed around 500 BC.  

Today in Mahabharta there is 1, 00,000 slokas. But in the beginning in it, there were only 8,8,00 slokas.

In 700 AD, a writer – scholar ‘Kumaril’ mentions “Mahabharta” as a great Smriti. 

Scholar – writer ‘Ban’ mentions ‘Mahabharta” as a great Epic. 

Another Inscription of 600 AD found in “Cambodia” mentions ‘Mahabharta’ as a religious book. 

Many Inscriptions of 5^th and 6^th century AD found time to time in India mentions ‘Mahabharta’.

New editions of ‘Mahabharta’ which came in between 300 AD to 100 AD describes about Temples and Stupa’s.
