WHAT WE FOCUS ON, GROWS IN OUR BODY & LIFE

In our day to day life rarely we notice or become aware of our mind, consciousness. We keep on passing each day without noticing on which things we are focusing or our mind is getting hooked on to which things, on which things we are spending our energies, what is the effect of those and how it is affecting us.

Henceforth start observing and you will notice that things on which we are focusing are growing in our life, energies on which we focus, start growing in our body!

If one focuses only on problem then soon that problem will become so big that we will not be able to do anything about it and we get easily defeated by it. If a student focuses only on the difficulty of a subject then soon he will be bogged down by it & for sure he will do bad in exams or even flunk in it. If a student focuses on various solutions to tackle difficulty then such solutions will grow & difficulty evaporates.

If a soldier/king keeps on only focusing on the mighty size of its enemy then soon he will get bogged down by this & he/she will either surrender or run away. Mighty enemy will further appear mightier. If one focuses on various ways to tackle his enemy then soon he will find many solutions which will result in his/her victory. King Shivaji is right example who amid so many enemies, began with so little resources but built empire for his people!

When people are in love, they see only good in their partner. Their relationship blossoms and they are very happy at that time. This goodness grows tremendously as consciousness of both is hooked on good of each other. People whose relationships are in trouble, you will observe that they are focusing on negative qualities or some mistakes of other person. Once consciousness shifts focus from goodness to mistakes, negativity then it grows tremendously. People don’t feel like talking with each other, staying with each other and finally they separate. Person around whom one was roaming saying ‘Honey, honey, honey….’ soon becomes bitter and leads to divorce.

If somebody criticizes us, uses bad words then people who get hurt more are the ones whose focus is on this criticism, that bad word. Soon it becomes so big that it fills people with anger, hatred, few lose confidence and even few are unable to sleep as the thing on which they focused has grown up so big. On another hand people who ignore bad words or take good criticism in positive way and improve then it do not affect them infact they start improving themselves & always moving forward.

Few people, out of their ego & jealousy focus only on negative qualities of others. They are always pinpointing others mistakes or what they lack or what is lacking in their qualities and soon these qualities grow in them as well. Their consciousness is always focused on wrong things and soon they become like those people with same qualities. When we focus on good qualities of others, their skills, praise them, at that time focus of our consciousness is on this goodness and not only we feel good and positive, soon we also start absorbing those good qualities. This is the reason, in Maharashtra many people who are followers of saint Dnyaneshwara, call each other as ‘Mauli’ (means saintly qualities in others or only good part of others). Seeing good in others doesn’t mean when thief has entered in our house start seeing goodness in him, if we do that he will take away everything! We must catch him & handover to police.

If we focus on what we do not have, if we focus on what we lack in life then this lack increases. Many times people who keep on crying about money, health, small house etc  you will find soon they land up in further mess or they lose further whatever they have. People who are unhappy and say lines like ‘I don’t have money’ , ‘I am very small guy but you guys are really big & rich’, ‘ I am poor guy’, ‘I am not healthy like you’, ‘my job is not good’ etc then know that such people never ever progress in their life. Every time lack increases in their life along with increase in their cries. On another hand people who are content and happy in whatever they have are always growing in their life. Their focus in on whatever they have with them and if they are content with that then they get showered with further more abundance. This is the reason people who have, content will be given more and people who crib, cry & complain that they do not have then whatever they have also will be snatched away!

KASHMIR ISSUE…GREAT GAME OF INTERNATIONALLY SPONSORED POLITICS…HEAVEN TURNED INTO HELL…

 

Once king Jahangir had said “Agar kahi swarg hai to wo yahi hai yahi hai yahi hai…”… “If at all there is heaven then this is it…this is it…this is it…” It is true as Kashmir is really beautiful and is heaven.

We need to see how come this heaven turned into hell and by whom and for what? Rarely we try to see actual facts and see things from larger angle and try to analyze what is really happening and to whom it is affecting? Who is on the gaining end and who is on the losing end?

From centuries Kashmir was a peaceful region where Kashmiri Pandits, Muslims, Sikhs and Buddhists lived together peacefully. You will not find a single instance of riot or fight among them for anything. Absolutely not a single thing. Then how come suddenly in last few decades everything turned upside down and this peaceful, beautiful region ended up into violence, chaos. If we look carefully at history then this whole game begins from the partition of Bharat now called as India. British partitioned this holy land called Bharat and suddenly one virtual country called Pakistan was created. Land of Baloch, Sindh, Punjab and Pashtuns were suddenly declared as Pakistan. Huge massacre happened in the riots which emerged afterwards and till date no body is held responsible for the same. Huge number of cattle were destroyed which was one of the livelihood of many people. British looted Bharat for almost one and half century and on top of that people destroyed their economic resources as well. If we look at the economic condition of people at that time then it was very bad and so was a newly formed center called Pakistan (It is not a country). One piece of land (Princely state) called Kashmir did not merge itself into India or Pakistan and King of Kashmir was thinking what to do about his state. He wanted to remain independent but newly formed center called Pakistan immediately attacked Kashmir. This is very interesting. How come newly formed state which is economically poor, everything is in chaos and disorder, immediately attacked Kashmir? Even well established, well developed countries think a lot before attacking some other country. Answer is simple, it looks like this state is created by British to create their proxy Army by using youth of Pakistan. If you observe, ISI of Pakistan and their Army journals and officers have huge plum properties of acres in Briton. If you check history of their every ruler, prime minister, president then each one of them has studied in Briton or US and has rich family background and has no connect with poor families of Pakistan. It looks like till date all of them are sponsored by big people from US and UK. Same thing happened in late 1940s and Pakistan got all the resources from them and immediately attacked Kashmir. King of Kashmir then realized his mistake and reached immediately to govt of India. Sardar Patel who was then home minister of country took strong stand and defeated this Pakistan’s Army and Kashmir was incorporated in India. Imagine our own people separated from us, Pakistan got created, they were given weapons and they attacked their own land, killed their own people and created conflict for their own People.

Next bad thing happened with Kashmir is passing of Article 370 which granted it independent status with bare minimum interference of Central govt and that too requires permission of state government. Just imagine, state which was recently attacked, enemies are looking for further opportunities and you give it independent status. People of Kashmir were left in further vulnerable status and they were not even aware of what further chaos that were planned for them. This means our politicians were/are equally involved in misery of people of Kashmir. In between many regimes changed in Pakistan, many assassinations of their own leaders, many military rules were enforced but few things remained central to its policy Destruction of economy of their own country, destruction of education, spreading poverty and increasing Zamindari, radicalizing youth and giving birth to same western sponsored military generals who dance to western power’s tunes and use these radicalized youth where ever western powers want. They used them in Afghanistan, Baluchistan and after lot of planning in Kashmir as well.

For almost 2 decades Kashmir remained in this state and suddenly during late eighties politics began in the valley. Politicians incited hatred against community of Pundits and lot many people’s properties were destroyed. As per reports, many of the political leaders, their party workers were involved and actually took part in riots. If we carefully observe who takes part in riots – people who do not have any work, who are paid, few fanatics, political leaders. Common people who have work and job to look after their families never get into this nonsense. Once riots start rumors are spread, media gives it air in most fearful fashion and fear is instigated in people’s mind and heart. Media reports it one community against other and people who are not involved in it also get dragged into it and they bear unnecessary brunt of it.

Later on in the beginning of 1990’s situation deteriorated and radicalized people began giving threats and killing of people and all pundits were asked to leave. Is it possible without support of local political leaders? Absolutely No. From where people got the weapons? From across the border, where these western sponsored Pakistani Army generals & politicians are looking for such opportunities to radicalize youth who unfortunately destroy their own motherland and finally themselves. Benazir Bhutto was prominent Pakistani leader who instigated youth at that time. Timing of these incidents collide when there was weak leadership in central government of India. Out of fear for their lives, most Kashmiri Pundits moved out of valley and then Kashmir landed up in the hands of these politicians who provoked people for riots. Not all Muslims were involved in all these things. In fact many of them asked Kashmiri pundits not to leave valley as this is their homeland and in fact they protected many and this is the reason almost 750 to 800 Kashmiri pundit families are still staying in valley. Many wanted to help but could not come to help as they feared for their own life as militants with political support were killing. Whole situation was portrayed as all Muslims targeted Hindus, of course many got carried away and joined riots but not all.

Afterwards real economic, social plundering of valley began. Whole region fell in the hands of few politicians who themselves are living in plush properties, are rich and common people’s fate was left in darkness. Surprisingly you will find many of the Kashmir’s politicians again studied in UK and US and have properties there as well. Despite of such beauty and nature’s all around blessings, no development happened, no good education facilities, no agricultural growth. In fact if you visit few of the rural areas of Kashmir, people don’t even know what refrigerator is. They are very poor. Over the time Militancy increased in Kashmir. Whether youths agree or not they were forced into militancy. There are today ample examples of youths who got out of it and they tell their horrible stories. How they suffered and how they were used. Sometimes even youths who leave such terrorist groups and start their normal life are killed in Kashmir. Look at the Kashmir which is under territorial control of Pakistan. What is happening with People who are on that side now. Terrorist camps are run there. Youths are forced into terrorism and GOD only knows in which part of the world they are deported. What have people achieved by separating from India? People must come out of this mirage and perception that Pakistan is country. It is military center operated by ISI run on the funds of few western powers and this proxy army has been even used in the destruction of Middle East as well.

Look at the economic havoc created by this issue and despite of being in heaven, people are living in very bad condition. All people of Kashmir are clearly losers from all sides! Then question comes who are the ultimate gainers? What I have found is few western powers or rather few western politicians, businessman and few of our own country’s people – politicians, Bollywood also have equal hand in it, yes Bollywood as well! Look at the total area of Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. How many apple orchards are there. Is this land utilized to its full potential, absolutely No. In Kashmir itself not much. Ideally this region of our country should have developed to its full potential and this region not only would have supplied Apples to India but would have exported to many other countries! People and our country would have been Rich! Forget about exporting, today India imports so many Apples from few internationally dominant countries and we lose money and potential jobs. When everyday your whole area is publicized negatively with news of militancy and literally zero development by local politicians how come these areas will grow? Same goes for Saffron. Kashmir produces finest saffron in the world which has high medicinal properties. Are we utilizing it to its highest potential? Are people getting fair prices, is enough employment generated out of it? Answer is No…Same goes for Shawls, Carpets, Wooden Crafts etc…Kashmir is surrounded by beautiful Himalayas and good amount snowfall also happens in valley. Imagine how many jobs would have created by various dedicated trekking corridors, dedicated ice skating areas. This place would have been full of tourist all around the year.

Next most important aspect of Kashmir is Tourism. It is the most affected sector of this area. Most beautiful land and its tourism is hit badly. If this issue would not have been there, not only from India but from across the world tourist would have landed up in Kashmir for their vacations. Now though tourist come but very few. Imagine amount of jobs tourism would have created. Hotels, Restaurants, Local shopping, sightseeing and many more such opportunities. People of Kashmir would have earned so much money that they would have become one of the richest on planet. Government also would have collected huge taxes which they would have used in many other areas. I have observed that media publishes most negative news about Kashmir. Not only Militancy but even small cloud burst is shown in big way and even today due to this negativity many tourist cancel visiting Kashmir. Local people may not be realizing this play of Media. At one point of time negativity was so high that people used to not even dare to think about trip to Kashmir! Though situation has little improved today but it is far away from even good. Then where do tourist land up? First destination is Switzerland then few other European countries, Malaysia, Thailand. Billions of dollars which would have gone to Kashmir are going there. Bollywood has assisted in great way in destroying tourism of Kashmir. After early nineties you will observe, most of the scenic movies of Bollywood are shot in Switzerland. Even one of the producer and director has one train named after him in Switzerland. Most of his movies he made in Switzerland and developed their tourism in great way. In fact in one of the most hit movie which was released in 1995, a very good love story in which perfect marketing of Switzerland was done. Knives, bells, trains, nice mountains and nice backgrounds. If you go to Switzerland they exactly sell such bells, knives and Indian tourist are ahead in buying them. In fact that movie posters are kept at few places. If you ask me to title that movie, I will name it as “Dilwale bewakoof banakar paisa uda le jayenge”. After this movie many movies came which were shot in Europe and in subtle way did develop tourism there. I am not against Europe or Switzerland, it is beautiful but Kashmir is also equally beautiful or far more beautiful and it will be cheaper option to the people of world compared to other tourist places. We as tourist go to other places and show off our tour to others but never pay attention to our own burning heaven. Just see after early nineties Bollywood produced what kind of movies on Kashmir. Gone are the days of movies like ‘Kashmir ki Kali’. Movies which come are only based on terror, militancy, kidnapping which terrify people. Never ever they show beauty of Kashmir. If people can go to Kashmir to shoot such movies then why can’t they make movies which portray beauty of region and promote tourism for region.

From all of the above thing, to me Issue of Kashmir cannot be looked into isolation. To me it looks well planned and well organized internationally driven event in which lot many people of our country are involved. What I have seen is, it is ensured that in every way people of this country lose and few big western powers gain. When Kashmiri pundits where moved out from valley they were living in refugee camps. Look at the condition of those camps. It is terrible. Lot many of us didn’t even know that they are living like this as this is never news in print and electronic media. Why our own politicians never paid attention towards them. Why are they not even given proper homes to live. Who has stopped politicians from this? Will they blame militants for this issue? Are they not equally part in larger conspiracy? Are all of them getting equal share of money at the cost of nation, at the cost of Kashmir and its people? At least my mind says yes to it.

Even today many of local people of Kashmir want Pundits to return to their homes. I feel they only can solve this issue now. All the people who are currently living in Kashmir must unite and demand bringing back Kashmiri Pundits. They must put pressure on their politicians and ask them to put this thing as main agenda. Prosperity comes where peace is and poverty rules where violence is happening.Whatever happened has happened, now they must come forward and bring back their brothers into valley and start new life for themselves and for this Country!

DEMON MAHISHASURA..REAL MEANING, GODDESS DURGA (MOTHER GODDESS / MOTHER NATURE) AND ITS CURRENT RELEVANCE…FREE YOURSELF OF THIS DEMON…

As I have mentioned in my first blog, our ancestors were very wise and they knew that over the years people’s dialect, culture, languages will change. Apart from writing things in scriptures, they presented most of things through pictures and symbols as well so that future generations will be able to understand through these. One such picture & story is of Demon Mahishasura and Goddess Durga. Lets see how it is relevant in current times.

General story goes like this, once upon a time there was a demon called ‘Mahishasura’. He had done severe penance/austerities and out of that he got a boon from Lord Shiva (Shiva is called as Destructor. He is destructor of all the bad thoughts in out head Ex – Thoughts of attacking someone, stealing something etc come in our head. He resides in our body as well. He resides in head and all bad thoughts are destroyed there). Boon was- no man, animal or god will be able to kill him. After getting this boon he thought himself as invincible and started misusing it and terrified all human beings and creatures. In his arrogance he forgot that woman can kill him. All people and even Gods approached mother goddess for help. Mother goddess took form of women called Durga and killed Mahishasura and freed planet from this demon.

Lets understand this demon first and then lets see its current relevance. Asura is the person with immense power who uses his/her power for selfish/evil motives. One of the meaning of Mahisa in the Sanskrit is Buffalo. That is why in above picture demon is shown sitting on buffalo. If you observe carefully buffalo is symbol of inertia. For example suppose you come across a buffalo on a road and you push the button of your vehicle’s horn so that this animal moves out of the way, you will observe that it do not move so easily as it is filled with inertia. Most of the times you will have to wait or go sideways but it will not move. Mahishasura means demon inertia gripped humans and Asuras made this to happen deliberately for their own selfish motives. Lets see how it helps them.

Today if we closely observe many people, infact many countries are under the grip of this inertia. Mother Nature has showered everything in every part of world. I mean all types of resources are available but people do not want to do anything. You can see this across many countries. See some examples…

• • Many parts where it rains in really good amount, they do not have clean potable water or water for irrigation. People are absolutely doing nothing to create more water reservoirs etc. They are waiting for some government scheme or some officer or leader to do something for them. Just imagine even few hundreds if join hands can dig one lake for themselves.

• • Many people are homeless today. Nature has given everything, wood, stones, sand etc. Such homeless people can come together and build their own homes with whatever resources they can collect from their surroundings. Educated people can also help them but we see very less time such thing happening

• • Farmers have their good arable farm lands but rather than learning better natural way of producing multiple crops, they run behind quick money making things, sow things which require less effort (like sugarcane). I have seen many of them do not even prepare their own seeds, own plants. They buy everything from outside and keep on increasing their input costs. Just little effort and they can make huge money but very few actually do it. Infact in many parts of the world people wait for special financial packages for governments to announce and they are happy to get such benefits. Infact it is becoming yearly norm to receive such benefits. People are not realizing that they are being paralyzed. In few parts of Africa they think that it is their birth right to receive these packages. This trend is emerging in India and other parts of world as well.

• • Many people in Europe do not take jobs, they live and enjoy the benefits provided by council or governments. Once in UK, I came across this news – one couple was living in council house with 5 or 6 children and each one of them was receiving per week monetary benefits. Reason he gave was, he lost his job and his wife is suffering from chronic depression! This is not good, this way almost half of the Europe is going towards bankruptcy and people are becoming paralyzed without learning any skills and work.

• • Another tactic used by few politicians is putting in place some public welfare schemes with corruption engulfed in it such as some rural employment schemes etc. Honestly speaking such schemes do more harm than any help. For Ex – In India Govt launched a scheme called MANREGA. If you are jobless then you register your name then you will be allocated some work and you will get some daily wages. People say most of the people do not do any work, they register their names and get benefits. Huge money of country is being wasted. Another harm it is causing is to farmers. They don’t get any labor for farm work as laborers are refusing to work as they are getting free money elsewhere.

• • In many parts of the world, if you tell people to learn good skills and start their own work such as plumbing, painting, and electrical work or start their own little business, they simply refuse to do anything. In fact many of them simply say give us some safe government job where I can retire without much headache.

• • Most of the people want good vegetables, fruits, grains to eat but none of them want to grow. Can’t we grow our own organic vegetables! So much land, water is available. We can easily do it. People prefer to buy from market which may have hazardous chemicals responsible for diseases like Cancer!

• • If you ask many organization managements, they say we are in need of good employees. Mind it good employees who have real knowledge and ready to work. There are more than 6 billion people and organizations are short of skilled people! This itself speaks a lot.

• • Rather than relying on hard work for making money, out of their inertia to do hard work and urge to become rich very early, people invest in many Ponzi schemes, take route of gambling and lose all their money or greedily buy shares, properties and lose everything at the end.

• • Nature has given so many herbs which are freely available around us. We can prepare our own medicines, tooth pastes, soaps, shampoos and many more such things. People say “who the hell will do this”. Things are readily available in market and buy from there. This is how big corporate houses are becoming bigger and bigger and on top of it their products have so many hazardous chemicals as well. Can’t we learn and prepare many things on our own?

• • Buying ready to eat, ready to cook or eating in restaurants and hotels is new trend. People do not even check what quality of food they are eating and how much money they are spending on it. If you visit rural India, everything is prepared in home. Right from pickle, sweets, lunch, dinner, various delicious food verities, everything is prepared at home. Extremely hygienic, nutritious, healthy food and on top of that you save huge money! If we don’t know then can’t we learn from the people who know and make our lives better?

• • You will observe when you are involved in some creative work then you will not have any sexual thoughts and when you are engulfed with sexual thoughts you will not be able to do nay creative work. We need to be aware of this. Excess of anything is bad. People who are involved in more sex, you will see them more lethargic, dull and inertia takes over them. Surprisingly if you look around, business houses are operating on tagline’ SEX sells’. Women are being used as sex symbols in movies or to sell products. Even pornography has become industry which is destroying many people’s lives.

There could be many such examples and this list can go on. Question is from our inertia who are benefitting? Many of the above examples are self-explaining – Politicians, big corporate houses, big money lenders such as bankers etc. Few are explained in detail

• • Our inertia to work and earn on our own leads to enjoying free perks from council/Govts which in turn is leading your country to Bankruptcy. So lenders and their associated politicians will take over your country.

• • Due to our inertia many corporate houses are becoming bigger and bigger as we are not preparing on our many things and buying from them. In this process, we are losing big money and money is getting accumulated in few hands.

• • Out of our inertia we do not do hard work, our farming goes in loss and then farmers sell their land which again bought by these politicians and big corporate houses or few rich people. If you observe, thousands of people are leaving farming every day.

• • Out of our inertia, every time we demand relief packages and paralyze ourselves. It is so easy for politicians to come in power buy throwing some money in front of people.

Then how to overcome this inertia and how it has engulfed us? How mother Goddess is related to it. Mother Goddess is symbol of energy. Our motherland is giving us food, water which we consume and get energy. If we have energy in us then we can walk, work or do any activity else we will not be able to do it. IF we have good energy created in us then inertia simply vanishes.

• • First thing we need to do is to be aware of the tactics used by politicians which make us paralyzed. Once we are aware then we remain alert and do not fall in that trap.

• • Next is good sleep. Right amount of sleep gives right amount of energy. If you sleep too much or too little then it is not going to help. Have 7-8 hours of sleep.

• • Next is food. Food creates energy in us. Kind of food you eat, same kind of energy it will create. If you eat quickly digestive food items then you will have very good energy created in you and you will overcome this inertia. If you have sedentary lifestyle and you eat food which takes lot of time to digest like meat, fish, etc then most of your energy will be used to digest that food only and you will feel sluggish, lethargic and this becomes your norm and inertia takes you over. Even if you stuff yourself with too much food then also lot of your energy is wasted in digesting that food and you become lethargic.

• • Next is avoid drinking buffalo milk. Prefer cow milk and that too of natural breeds. Buffalo milk has high fat content and takes time to digest compared to cow’s milk. Once again remember that what you eat or drink you become like that. You want to be lethargic like buffalo or active like cow?

• • Next is lack of physical activity – you will observe many times if lethargic people are forced to do some physical work, initially they are slow & resist but slowly their inertia goes down and they work very well. We all need some exercise daily to overcome this inertia. Yoga, Pranayama some exercises will help in this. Pranayama gives lot of energy to body. Every breath we take energizes our body and every breath we release relaxes our body so little bit of pranayama will help, if you do not know then quickly learn it as many teachers are available.

Transformation from Inertia to blissful activeness happen in three stages. As per food we eat, physical activity we do and purity we have in our thoughts and heart, our body remains in three Gunas (Guna means quality or Type) – Sattoguna or Rajoguna or Tamoguna. Each of these three Gunas have impact on you and are as below

Tamoguna – If you have Tamoguna then body has lot of laziness, lethargy, you do not want to work, lot of inertia and this is demon Mahishasura!

Rajoguna – If you have lot of Rajoguna then you will show symptoms like – You want to work to achieve something. You are too ambitious. Plans are going on in your mind like what are you going to do one after another. Your mind is running very fast and so you are. You want to be rich, want land, want to expand your kingdom. Many a times feverishness sets in to achieve those things and many times too much ambitious people land up in depression as well.

Satoguna – If you have Satoguna then you are working but with content in your heart and mind. You are in bliss, centered in you and not running behind things. Nothing can shake you. You will keep walking in your life with smile on your face. You work in blissful lstate but without constantly wondering or focusing on end result.

Ensure that you transform yourself from Tamoguna to Rajoguna and from Rajoguna to Satoguna! Correct food, correct exercise, meditations, yoga, pranayama will for surely transform this and pray to Mother Goddess to help you defeat this demon with her energy in you! Prayers do Work!

DON’T CONVERT PEOPLE YET SPREAD YOUR RELIGION!

In today’s world, we have so many religions, cultures, languages, music, costumes, food etc. Instead of seeing the beauty in this diversity and celebrating it, people are busy in converting people into their religion (for whatever reason), environment of distrust growing and people end up seeing only bad thing in others and end up separating from each other.

Whenever we speak of religions it becomes very sensitive issue and many times people boast that only my way is the way, only my religion is true, only my religion’s followers will get heaven, my religion’s followers are highest etc. In this whole process main crux of our faith is lost, ego sets in and then whole list of issues arise including riots and terrorism.

Lets look at it in simple terms our religions and what we can take from all in simple way. I am not any religious head but fortunate enough to be born in India and have visited many religious places, I felt let me put my feelings & thoughts in simple way. There could be many more things about every religion. Lets look at few of them

HINDUISM – Oldest religion followed by many on this planet. It is so vast that you cannot confine it into fixed set of ideas, methods or procedures. If you go and try to strictly find a Hindu in India then you will be stunned to see that every 200 kilometers everything changes, language, costumes, food, style of rituals etc. Hinduism is encompassing all ways. It has freedom for all, to worship type of GOD you want, the way you want to worship. You will find people worship rivers, mountains, trees infact whole nature. Whole nature is given respect and worshipped. You can worship it in Aakar (form) or Nirakaar (formless). If you want to go to temple then fine, if you want to meditate then that is also fine. You need to travel across India to understand its vastness which fills us with wonder. I don’t think we confine this way of life even in the boundaries of religion. Because of this freedom, Hinduism has survived till far and so many other religions also flourished in India. You don’t need to convert people to make them Hindu. One who is on his path and not distracting others from their path is Hindu. One who is respecting nature, one who is respecting all creatures is Hindu. If you respect your motherland and live for it then you are Hindu. I feel this is the time when all people understand this freedom of Hinduism which is true secularism.

Look around you, in greed for money, people are destroying nature, polluting motherland (by pesticides, plastic), polluting air & water. Corruption is spreading, people are fighting over religions, wars are destroying countries. This is the time when teachings of Hinduism need to spread.

ISLAM : – Saints say real meaning of Islam is surrender and peace. Surrender to divinity and peace within yourself and surrounding. If you are not peaceful then how will you spread peace. If you yourself are agitated, irritated, unhappy then you are going to spread same thing. Today is era where people really understand its true meaning and become peaceful and happy. True surrender happens when one is helpless. When you have tried all your options, put all your efforts but nothing is working then helplessness comes. In this helplessness you pray and for prayer to emerge you need to surrender. Such prayers get answered and fulfilled. So one who is peaceful and surrendered to divinity is already Islamic. You don’t need to convert him/her; infact you need to spread peace and happiness & automatically Islam will spread.

Few years back, I visited Jerusalem first time, I was walking innocently towards Al-Aqsa mosque and but at entrance itself I was stopped and told that you cannot enter. I asked why? Got answer that you are not muslim. I got stunned and shocked. In India I had never experienced this as we can go inside mosques and offer our prayers. I prayed from outside but thought of what is Muslim or Musalmaan? I have come to conclusion that it is nothing but Musallam- Iman . Musallam meaning very strong and Iman means Character/faith/honesty -one who is faithful for his/her motherland, duties.

Look around and today we see that corruption is spreading like cancer and trying to be omnipresent. It is spreading because people are becoming characterless and they are not honest in their duties. So it is need of time that you make Iman of people Musallam and wipe out corruption from this planet and create peace & happiness. You don’t need to convert people as whoever on this planet has his/her Iman musallam, he/she is Musalmaan.

CHRISTIANITY: – If we say Jesus then you don’t need to say Love and If you say Love then you don’t need to say Jesus. Love and Jesus are so synonyms. Just see how beautiful is this. If someone tells you that ‘Jesus is only way’ then tell them ‘Yes, it is true. Jesus is love and love is the only way’. Spread this love and automatically you spread Jesus and Christianity. If you think only followers of Jesus will be in heaven then it is wrong. Whoever is filled with love and spreading love is already on his path.

Infact this is the time when you need to spread love. Look around, so many people are in sorrow. Wars, corruption, poverty, diseases, loot, fear, disbelief, illiteracy, unemployment, depression are taking over society. This is the most important time when people need touch of love and they will get healed. Without any expectation and returns from others, work towards bringing genuine smile on others faces. Spread love, serve people and no need to convert people.

SIKHISM: – Whenever we say Sikhism, image of robust, happy and always ready to serve community appears in front of us. I am lucky as I got a chance to visit few Gurudwaras and got blessings there. If you visit Gurudwara then you will realize the meaning of selfless service. Everyone is ready to help each other. Selflessly lunger is run and food is served to all. I was stunned to see same level of service maintained even in London, in such an expensive place every one is offered food.

Robustness and fearlessness of Sikhs saved India for many centuries. Each mother dedicated her elder son for country’s cause. We need to spread this robustness, fearlessness and attitude of service. I feel every town, village, city must adopt this and start lunger. Out of poverty, no one shall remain hungry and shall not sleep empty stomach on this planet. Every household must contribute towards his country, city, village, society.

One para of Guru Gobind Singhji is stunning and tells about valor and removes any fear if we have

“Chirian to mein baaz tudaun
Gidran to mein sher banaun
Sawa lakh se ek ladaun
Tabe Gobind Singh Naam kahaun”

Meaning “It is when I make sparrows beat eagle, I turn jackals into lions, when I make 1 capable of fighting with 125000 alone then I am called Gobind Singh”. One must surrender to such Guru and get this valor & serve people.

BUDDHISM: – There is no bigger manifestation of Silence & peace like Buddha. He was born in the era when there was huge prosperity in India and when there were huge number of intellectuals. He himself was born in royal family but he left everything in conquest of truth and got enlighten in deeper silence.

He showed path to many and many got liberated along with him. His message of peace got spread almost across Asia. This is the most appropriate time to spread Buddha when earth is filled with so much violence, decreasing moral values, corruption , greed & endless desires of people which are leading them nowhere. For this purpose as well we don’t need to convert people.

We can observe similar things in all other religions take it Jainism, Judaism etc. If we observe basic teachings of all religions are same and they are of Love, peace. It is we in our Ego started converting people, infact since last few decades conversions are happening for the greed of power. Particular religions people will vote only to their religions leader so convert people and capture power. Instead of choosing leaders at looking at their honesty, valor, knowledge & service oriented attitude, people choose leaders looking at their religion! This is not good, people are cheating themselves!

We need to know and see that all religions are like beautiful rivers which are finally meeting same ocean. Various saints, messengers, Avatars came on this planet, showered their knowledge, love on humanity and uplifted humanity. Converting people from one religion to other is like trying to convert water into water so pls stop this & spread love to fill this planet with happiness!
