HOW AEROPLANE MANUFACTURERS MAKING HUMONGOUS MONEY FROM INDIANS/NATIONS…

If you remember, just few years back if somebody wanted to travel by air then it was big thing because air tickets were very expensive and only very rich people could afford those. Now in today’s times we see that any Tom/Harry is travelling by planes. What happened suddenly? How is this happening? Who is real gainer and who is real loser?

What I have understood is only beneficiary of more people travelling by planes are aero plane manufacturers (there are 2 to 3 companies only). Countries like India have little good rail network and people used this mode of transport for years as it is cheaper and long-distance trains are available. On the other hand, flight tickets were very expensive which only rich could afford.

Simple rule of business says If you want to sell anything then there must be demand in the market for that product and to sell more and more planes, manufacturer need its demand, means more and more people must travel by flights then only more and more airlines will give orders for more and more planes. Why will people travel by planes if they have cheaper train options? There are various ways how it is achieved.

First thing is move away people who are travelling in trains in higher classes (by paying little more money than ordinary classes) towards flights. Its done by increasing its fare constantly and making flight fares cheaper at the same time. If one sees now, fares of first class in trains are equal to or expensive than flight ticket. After 2014 infact all types of AC coach fares have almost doubled and on few trains dynamic pricing has been introduced which is further expensive. At the same time over the years absolutely no investment has been made in upgrading trains and rail infra whereas huge taxpayer money has been put in developing and modernizing airports. If one goes to airport and train station in India then can immediately make out the difference.

While travelling in long journey anybody would like to save time and high-speed trains and flights are the best option for this. If one sees, there is hardly any long distance high speed train in India then if one wants to save time then only option left is flight. Now government is trying to build one high speed train but that to for short distance and that too by spending humongous money.

Question comes how come flight tickets have become so cheaper? Simple answer is airlines are selling those at extremely cheaper prices. Next question comes, planes are very expensive, they have limited seats (can’t carry 700-800 people like trains), their maintenance is very expensive, airports fees are higher, aviation fuel is expensive then how come they are selling at such low price? Are they making any profits? Answer is No. Most of the airways in India are making good amount of losses. Then question comes if they are making losses then how come they are running business because you need money to run it. Answer is loans, yes they are getting loans from banks for most of their operations, right from plane purchase to day to day working capital most of it is coming through banks. Then one must think how come banks are lending them if they are making losses and what the hell is mortgage? This is the question where each one of us must tumble after deep diving into it. At least I don’t think that loans are given after security and depositor’s money is not at all safe. Recently one of the airline’s owner went bankrupt and he ran away to some other country and did not pay any loans of banks. Those loans are NPAs for banks. Banks are giving loans from depositor’s money which is of Indians.

Under such scenario, why will people travel by trains when they have equally priced flight option available where people can save time and experience great infrastructure of airports. As increasingly more people travel by Air, airlines need more and more planes. In order to purchase those they need more and more money which is given by banks from people’s very own deposits! More and more they give orders to aero plane manufacturers, more and more money is made by these manufacturers. Basically, these manufacturers are making money through Indians pocket which is coming to them in the form unsecured loans.

Not only this, now these guys are not satisfied by this, now they want more demand of planes, so in India government is developing airports almost at every city and government is asking all airlines to fly people at cheaper prices. This will result in furthermore demand and that is how one of the airline’s spokesperson was recently informing that India needs almost 2100 planes in near future! Imagine amount of money which will flow towards them!

Now what will happen if airlines go bankrupt and unable to pay back loans? Bankers will have huge NPAs, in such scenario either government will bail out banks/private airlines (from taxpayers money) or bankers will not return people’s money and banks will go bankrupt!

Question comes to mind is, Do so many people running these things have hand in hand – Aero plane manufacturers, airlines, bankers, politicians? Looking at the history and current situation at least my mind says Yes to this. We as Indians must ask many questions to government and keep our money safe!

WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU LOSE YOUR JOB?

In today’s world when most of us have moved away from farming and dairy which are basics of any economy and we are doing jobs given by somebody else may be in Banking, IT, Automobile, Manufacturing, Shopping Malls, Hotels, Restaurants etc, have you ever thought “what if I lose this job? What if I am fired?”. Somebody may tell you rather than this think positive or be positive but I always feel one must be positive and practical as well.

In today’s world, economy is driven by paper currency which in turn controlled by central bankers and their associated banks. As per their allocation of money businesses may thrive or collapse, economies may expand or shrink. There is too much dependency on such external factors and nobody knows what is cooking up at higher level but for sure many economies in the world are crumbling. What to do when you are financial dependent on somebody else? Always remember slavery begins first with financial dependence on somebody else and then it becomes mental habit. In today’s world most of the people are doing jobs offered by somebody else and not only that, most of them are having huge loans on them – home loans, car loans, personal loans, loans for businesses etc. This is double pressure – one from your employer and one from your banker as not only you need to secure your job but you need to repay your loan as well.

One more interesting factor is not only we are dependent for money on others but in reality we are dependent for many things on others. For Ex – Groceries, milk, vegetables, medicines etc. None of us is growing anything on our own. Everything we are just buying by paying money in malls or retail shops. What if such scenario happens that everybody has money but supply of groceries, milk etc is less. Just imagine under current circumstances when people store lesser and lesser groceries at home what chaos it may lead to. One cannot be independent in every aspect of life as life is interdependent but one must become independent in as many things as possible.

In such world it is always better to give a thought to the possibility “ what if I lose my job, what if economy crashes?”. Have you ever wondered what skillset we have and apart from our regular job what else we can do? Then it is better to do small exercise and see where we stand by asking one question to ourselves “What else can I do?”

• Can I start my own retail shop?
• Can I cook/prepare nice food/snacks and sell?
• Can I start my own automobile workshop?
• Will I be able to do farming?
• Will I be able to start my own dairy farm by procuring few cattle?
• Can I produce some beautiful wooden products/furniture?
• Can I do any painting work?
• Can I professionally sing?
• Can I professionally act in drama etc?
• Will I be able to teach any subject in School/College?
• Will I be able to stitch/weave any cloth?
• Will I be able to prepare any beautiful product from wool?
• Will I be able to do something in tourism industry? ………………….
• Can I prepare 100% natural (no chemicals &) Shampoo/soaps/detergents (made from natural ingredients) and sell?
• Will I be able to do any electrical/plumbing work?

This is small list and there are many such options for which one must see if he/she can do it or not. I feel one must prepare and gauge themselves on this and if more the answers of these questions are ‘NO’ then it is not a good scenario and it is better to learn and acquire9 more and more skills and be ready for any tougher times!

 

YOU CAN’T AVOID POLITICS…LEARN IT…

‘Politics’…As soon as people hear this word, many of them distort their faces. Many say Politics is bad, it is dirty world. Many of them stay away from it and many of them fear of it thinking it is extremely bad.

Whatever efforts one puts to stay away from politics, one cannot stay away from it. Whoever you are, where ever you are it is going to confront you and if you run away from it then slowly it will start haunting you.

Politics is not only there in political parties but it is there in our day to day lives. See some of the examples…You go to office and you hear many people saying ‘our office is filled with bad politics’. There are lobbies, boss favors particular people etc. It affects you…

If you are in some business then also you are going to face it. Your competitors will be playing all sorts of tricks and games to outsmart you to gain more and more business. You will have to face this politics.

If you are in government job then politics is at unimaginable level. Just look into police department. You will be horrified to see internal politics there and how much those people are under pressure. Same goes with any other departments. Right postings, promotions or holidays they face politics in everything.

If you are sportsman then also you will face it. Right from selection to leading your team everywhere people will try to outsmart you or by hook or crook gain prominent position. People play politics to control various sports organizations as well.

If you join some NGO or religious or spiritual organization then you may face politics there as well! In desire to achieve fame, to gain some power people try to outsmart each other.

If you are student then also there is politics. Out of competition or jealousy you will have to face it. If various companies are interviewing students for jobs from same college then one must see how suddenly friends become competitors and one can see politics there as well!

Look into the lives of these movie actors or TV actors. For getting good roles, a good movie there is politics. There are lobbies and if you go like very straight forward person there, you will be soon fried up! (Many of these actors/actress are already leading horrible lives but that is different story!).

Not only your enemies but you may get amazed to see that some of your friends also might be playing politics with you. Some of them will be with you only till the time there is some benefit from you. They leave you as soon as there job is done or there are no more benefits from you. They may leave you if they find someone else is more powerful or useful. They may cheat you out of their jealousy towards you.

Not only friends but your own relatives also might be playing politics with you. Just see around and you may notice that there could be politics going on in your family.

Basically it confronts us at so many places and in so many different roles. If one ignores it every time then soon he/she will be ignored as well. Today middle class is the biggest class on the planet and most of them stay away from politics and in return they are totally ignored by politicians. They take care of ultra-rich (out of favors) or poor (for votes).

Basically politics is art of taking care of people and ensuring welfare for all. It has very broad perspective. There is difference between politics and conspiracies. These days conspiracies are being called as politics. Politics is seeing & building the way of welfare for all. One needs to see opportunities for this, various innovative ideas, apply all strength and sacrifice whatever one can! Among all the difficult circumstances find out the good way and do good for all. If you need to do acting then do it, if you need to show little bit of anger then show it, be shrewd but bring good to all. Final aim must be to bring good for all. To forbid good people from joining mainstream politics various print & electronics media portray that it is the world of bad people and only goons enter and rule this world. Watch movies and see what kind of politicians are shown.

More and more you stay away from it, you will observe that more and more you are ending up towards losing side. Soon incapable undeserving people will start ruling you. Soon donkeys will start riding horses. Nations where youth don’t look into politics are in dilapidated condition. If you are running away from this politics then stop doing that right from this moment. First thing is face it. Observe it. Observe what people do, why they do, what people say & why do they say that. Check the intention of people (little bit). This observation can teach you many things and you will be aware of who is doing what. Who may harm you and who may support you. Who is good and who is not. To learn swimming one needs to enter water and then only one can learn. Similar way face politics and whatever situations come your way and keep learning your lessons. Remember straight trees are cut first and similar way very goodie goodie simple people also will land up in trouble. Be innocent & humble but at the same time remain firm and invulnerable. So do not run away from Politics but learn it!

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!

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF BAKRA EID AS WELL AS BAKRA BALI INFRONT OF DEVI (MOTHER GODDESS)…ITS IMPORTANCE IN CURRENT TIMES

I feel lucky to have grown up into multi-cultural and multi religious environment as it has taught me many things and many times I see many similarities in basic intention of many rituals but many times we are not aware, do not pay attention to or put our ego ahead of everything and miss the main crux of the entire thing. Many times people do not take interest or even fear sometimes to look at other religions rituals and what good we can take from them.

Since childhood I am seeing these two rituals of giving bali (sacrificing) of bakra (male goat) infront of Devi (Mother Goddess) and Bakra Eid. Though I am not any religious head or follower of both these rituals, I feel there is a great spiritual side behind both these rituals and lets see what it is (There are and coud be man religious reasons for celebrating this but I am focusing on spiritual side)

Our ancestors were very wise and they just didn’t start any rituals just for the sake of starting, I find that they have considered upto great extent how human mind works, what kind of situations they face in their life, various natural cycles and how all can come together and celebrate this journey called life.

Just think why ancestors thought of giving sacrifice of Bakra only. There are so many animals on planet, why this particular animal is chosen? If you see, goats move in a herd. They are always in group and if you see most of the times they are moving in direction where herd is moving. Basically it is this herd mentality and you will never see that a goat or sheep separates from group and decides to move ahead alone. They become fearful under little bit of stress or threat and finally they may fall pray to predator. They cannot roar like a lion and face difficult situations. Little bit of adverse situation and you will see that all will start running around and they will chose the path which others have chosen, without thinking. Just observe and you will see this fact. In fact look at the ones which are in the middle of herd. They have absolutely no clue where they are heading and what is in store for them. I am trying to stress this herd mentality and fear of this animal as both these attitudes go hand in hand.

Both these herd mentality and fear are there in humans as well and I feel this is the most appropriate time to highlight how it is working and people are succumbing to it and bringing great harm/loss to themselves, society and nation. Herd mentality of humans is nothing but without courage, out of fear they do what others are doing. Just copy or move along with masses while taking decisions of your life and look at the few situations how it has harmed and is actually harming, infact from childhood many of us are doing this…

• • Just because media/builders creates environment that all are buying flats, houses and rates are going to go up, many of us rushed to buy bought & invested in many flats. Many have taken big loans and now scratching heads for its repayment….herd mentality…

• • Look at students….if 4-5 of them are studying together then while studying many times they look at each others progress…If somebody had progressed more then they become fearful and panic, then they understand or not they try to finish at the same speed as others…herd mentality..

• • While taking admissions to various graduation, post-graduation courses, students look at others. what others are doing, in which direction others are moving. If mob is moving towards engineering then take it, Information technology then move there. Without thinking ones own capability, practical situation, they move in this herd mentality…

• • Just because stock markets are moving up, others are investing in it and if you don’t then you will be left behind, without knowledge, without thinking, many start investing. Listening to any crap recommendation people put any amount of money and lose it! Stock market crash of 2008-09 is simple of example of this and I have seen many who were just rushing to make money…herd mentality…

• • These days if you read news on websites of these news papers or news channels then many times you will see news like this “So and so Photo of so and so actress or Video has went viral”. Now many click on it just because it has gone viral and with these clicks it actually goes viral!…herd mentality…these news people know this and deliberately they put news as “So and so thing has gone viral…”

• • Somebody comes and tells people that I will double your money in next 1 or 2 years or you create chain of members and you will get so and so money. They give examples of other people who have invested, who are making money. Many feel secure sighting others investment and they also invest in it. Later on when it turns out to be a Ponzi scheme, all people lose money!…herd mentality…

• • Another simple example, if you are going to buy vegetables, fruits in market and if there are 10 people sitting there, you will observe that shop where there is little rush people first go there and buy there..

• • Many are succumbing to anxiety created & marketing done for new launches of cellular phones, people rush to buy as whole world is running to buy those and people end up spending huge amount of money. Just check, these phone companies are now having such big valuation that they can buy some country!…its due to this herd mentality…

• • Just because some movie shows some new style of clothing, many run to buy them. Infact you will be amazed to see how few underwear brands got popularity. Lead actor used to show elastic of his brand above his jeans and many started using that… Imagine movies which are mostly based on fake, hypothetical stories and are largely based on imagination of some director or based on propaganda of producer, are ruling life of people…

• • Some advertisement on TV shows that most of dentists recommend our toothpaste and many start buying that…herd mentality…rather than driven by one’s own intellect, knowledge, experience, how these advertisements are driving people. If you want to see how people succumb to advertisements & marketing, visit their bathroom once and you will see 2-3 types of shampoos, 2-3 types of conditioners, faces wash, hair creams, sun creams, cold creams, various soaps and what not…Check once on how many people these products have actually worked, you will find none and people are wasting lot of money. Infact they are filled with so many harmful chemicals which are going inside your body through your skin.

• • Private universities publish their various research and people believe it and start following/behaving like that as many times their finding are presented in percentages Ex- Research suggest if people don’t use ground nut oil then heart attack % reduces by 50%. Now without checking facts many started using palm oil. Now many scientists tell that ground nut oil is best. In this process many farmers lost money making crop called groundnut and few greedy ones made money. One ridiculous research I came across – “If husband and wife together drink liquor then they are more happy”. You will see many such stupid researches in media around you. These are driven purely for increasing demand of particular products and flourishing few businesses.

• • Propaganda was driven that chemical pesticides help in producing more crop. Many farmers succumbed to this so called green revolution. Without checking facts many have used these and polluted their land. These pesticides are resulting in so many severe diseases to humans and many times I feel more than green revolution, it is cancer revolution.

• • Media is making people fearful and coward by showing only negative news. Rarely we see any positive or good news in newspapers or news channels. This is creating fear psychosis in people and people fear to raise their voice against injustice.

• • If news channels show that, any saint has done some wrong thing then without verifying real facts just because all are blaming saint, people also start blaming them. In India one saint was accused of murder and media people showed that news for more than 2000 hours and people immediately made him demon and people forgot that it was accusation and not verdict of court. He was harassed for nine years but finally it got proved that he did nothing and he is innocent. This news media showed for hardly for eight minutes. Despite of this example, people still get driven by herd mentality. Even today some accusation on any saint and you will see tsunami of reactions. Many are just cursing because others are cursing.

• • Just because actor/hero & actress is drinking liquor or smoking, many yougnsters start doing same thinking it is cool thing to do. If few friends are doing party and few of them are drinking alcohol or smoking then you will observe that many non-drinkers and non-smokers succumb into it and they also begin, very few stand out and say I will not!

There are many more such examples and basic intention of highlighting these is to portray harm which we are causing in this herd mentality. We need to sacrifice this herd mentality and emerge as true lion in our life. Even today in rural parts of india, if some child becomes very fearful then people say “once sacrifice bakra in front of mother goddess”. Mother goddess symbolizes fearlessness, energy & activism. You sacrifice your fear & herd mentality to her and emerge fearless, filled with energy. Henceforth lets sacrifice our herd mentality, fear & emerge as lion to serve our country. This Bakra Eid sacrifice these two things and emerge as lion to serve your  family, society and country. Many people debate whether to give bali of actual animal in rituals – then sentiments of people are attached to it since many years people are following it. My personal opinion and heart tells that not to kill animal physically for rituals (for eating meat is different and for rituals different) but various religious heads can sit together, ponder and decide with people what is best for all but know one thing for sure that country is waiting for many lions!

 

WHAT PARENTS WANT…DON’T END UP WITH YOUR HANDS FULL OF….

In last 15 years or so, I have seen many people leaving our country for higher studies, jobs. Many of them went saying they will return in couple of years but till now never returned…At one point of time I was also trying for higher studies but today when I think back I thank god that I performed average in those exams and later on decided not to pursue the same..

I personally know many of them. Infact many have such wonderful parents that whenever I visit their homes, they shower their love as if I am their son as well. If they are taking their parents where they are living then it may be fine with them else parents keep on waiting for them, persuading them to come back and many times have tears in their eyes & they keep on receiving below answers..

• For my career I need to be there. What will happen to it if I come back…
• I will return in another 2 years
• This country is in mess and nothing can happen
• Education is much better there etc
• My job there is very comfortable, I can give more time to my family
• I will not get same salary if I come back

What I have seen is many of them are thinking only about themselves. My career, My job, My comfort, My My MY… What about them who got you well educated and made you confident. Do these people think anytime about them. More than money, our parents want our time, they want to live with us. They want to live with our children, they want to play with them and see them growing up. Just sending money for them don’t fulfill our responsibility towards them.

Infact I have seen people spitting about their own country where they learned 2+2 =4. I have seen few who regret that they are born in this country. Few even do not return for years because of some Visa issues. Their lives are controlled by some Visa rules. In reality I have found below facts why they run away from their responsibilities

• Exchange rate, more money
• Part of mind says as I am staying in so and so country so I have something in me and so I am great
• Don’t want to take responsibility of their parents, country
• Think about only their own comforts – I have good paying relaxed job etc
• Many girls do not want to live with their in-laws so they find this route of moving abroad

After living abroad for a year atleast I have realized that India is HEAVEN (if one has true vision to see). Such a balanced climate, good healthcare, good schools, such variety of food, clothing or anything you take, such nice people to talk, such a fertile land, so many rivers, mountains. God has showered everything here. I am not saying that other countries are not good or not bestowed with these things (infact nature has given everything equally to all) but what’s point in leaving your parents alone and running behind money. You will be millionaire or billionaire then what? So many millionaires & billionaires are there and you will be one of them. Your parents will depart one day and so you will. All your millions & billions will remain in bank accounts and it may happen that your children may keep fighting for share of that money.

Not knowing culture of joint  family, your children will also leave you one day leaving you alone. What will you do with money.  Decade back in Europe, percentage of people who were in depression was less but today it is much higher. Why so many people are in depression? One of the simple answer is people forgot family values. Family which has elders is also bestowed with their wisdom. Any problem or difficult situation comes in life and if you feel you are unable to handle then elders will be there to support you, to advice you. They guide children and younger ones as well. If someone from family is going on wrong path then they will be first to correct them. People spend huge money for advice from Psychiatrist which elders would have given them every day and in their advice there is love & care. Infact depression is one of the bigger killers today. Can you thank them by meeting once or twice in a year? Few even see them once in two years. We all need to move back to joint families else this disease called depression will eat many more.

More than money, we need love, friends, wisdom of elders and their blessings. I am sure all such people may have bank accounts full of money but in their later part of life when they will be lonely & tired then they will realize that their hands are full of 2 things, Regret & Guilt. Regret that they could not shower their love on their parents and Guilt that they could not take care of them. Don’t end up being in this category…

CHATURVARNA…REAL MEANING…ITS MISUNDERSTANDING, MISUSE LEADING TO INJUSTICE & DIVIDE IN SOCIETY…

 

In the wake of growing divide in our society in India which is many times based on the Chaturvarna and Caste based systems, I thought of writing my understanding which I have got over the years looking around me in society and one thing for sure is this word Chaturvarna is misunderstood by many, misrepresented by many. Many youths are misguided by many literatures, NGOs and so called humanity based groups and finally politicians who gain power in this fight. Few out of their own ignorance have used it to prove their superiority, few got injustice and sometimes it lands up in few funny situations as well. Lets try to see what is it…

CHATURVARNA is Sanskrit word – Chatur means four and Varna means ‘Groups’, means four groups. There were four groups of people Brahmins (Teachers), Kshatriya (Fighters), Vaishya (Traders) and Sudra (Producers), mind it, it is Sudra and not Kshudra (meaning insignificant) or Shudra. Kshudra or Shudra is the distortion done by few people deliberately.  First lets understand each one of them and then understand how mess happened due to misunderstanding and who took advantage and creating rift among us and looting all of us.

Brahmin – Is the person who has attained/gained knowledge and most importantly he is sharing with all selflessly for enlightening of society and ensuring that all people are filled with knowledge. He is the one who is living for others, who needs nothing (that doesn’t mean he must not have any wealth), who is in bliss and sharing it with all. In a way all saints land up in this category. They pass on knowledge, unite people, propagate love & peace and society is happy.

Kshatriya – He is the person who is filled with Valor, who is fearless, who has skills of warfare and thus he has ability to take part in wars and save his land & people from enemies. They protect rest of the 3 groups and maintain the environment so that rest 3 can perform their function.

Vaishya – He is trader. Trader takes things from one person and sells it to other at higher price and they make profits. He is sharp in his analytical aptitude and good in calculations. He is quick in identifying business and money making opportunities. They are responsible for movement of goods & money. They are responsible for sharing some % of their wealth to state. Question comes why only trader shall pay? He /She is the one who is moving money and rest 3 groups are creating environment, goods so that he can trade. His responsibility is to donate for all good causes in the society. If you go to any religious place even today, you will find that many dharmshalas and Matths are created by these people.

Sudra – They are responsible for producing things. All skilled people land up in this group. If you have aptitude of creating fine painting, superior wooden craft, producing grains, creating cloth, producing beautiful pottery utensils, producing nice weapons for your Army etc then you are part of this category. Your skill is the supreme and you are basic foundation of economy of state and because of you all are getting good wealth, mind it good wealth. This is the wealth which is generated out of everybody’s efforts, skill and hard work. It is not the wealth which is created by cheating someone, robbing someone. Good wealth will bring all good and bad wealth will bring all bad on to you. That is why they are called as ‘Sudra’, Su – dra. In Sanskrit every good thing is presented & begins with letter ‘Su’ Ex- Suprabhat, Suswagatam, Sushma, Suvichar etc. Sudra also begins with Su and attached ‘dra’ with it which is one of the meaning of wealth – Dravya, Indra (wealth inside – your 5 senses) etc.

If you observe the job of all 4 groups, everything is depending on their aptitude. As per your aptitude you can move in the group which you want to join and contribute to society. Nobody can say that by birth he is Brahmin, Kshtriya, Vaishya or Sudra. Your aptitude decides your role and if you don’t do it as per aptitude, you decide it as per your birth then for sure lot of mess will happen and it happened. We need to see judiciously from when real trouble began in Indian Society, I am talking about society and not kingdoms. For many centuries kings have fought with each other but you will never hear that people in society have fought with each other and separated based on their this group or so called Caste mainly invented by Brits.

I have pasted one of the photo of Macaulay and his address to British Parliament. It is given in 1835 and see what he said “I have travelled across length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is begger, who is thief such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country……(and so on)….”. Time of this speech is very interesting..1835. Means it was after defeating, Tipu Sultan in South, Peshwas in Maharashtra , even battle of plassey happened much before”. Despite of defeating so many big empires and looting wealth from them, this is the statement he had to say. Such was this holy country called Bharat (Now India). After defeating all major kingdoms by divide & rule policy, began their oppressive rule. In the year 1857, there was extremely big revolt against them and revolt was joined and supported by all farmers, producers mainly all Sudra and it was big jolt to British. After suppressing this revolt they understood unity of common people of this country (kings fought but common people came forward during difficult times). To avoid such revolt, they permanently decided to break this society by bringing oppressive laws, rules. They knew that backbone of this society & economy is no one but Sudras. First thing they did after coming in full power is banned all Sudras from doing their traditional activities. First ban came on Ayurveda, then Vishwakarmas were banned from doing any Architectural work, all Balutedars and so on. Imagine the impact it must have caused on society. As Sudra’s were oppressed, so were income sources of all the groups of society as producer itself was unable to produce properly. Deterioration of talent and knowledge happened to great extent. Once income sources dried, all other 3 groups Kshatriya, Brahmins, Traders all of them systematically collapsed. What trader will trade? How Kshatriya will fund his Army & state and so on. With collapse of one by one group came in British Allopathy medicines, Architecture, cloths ,education system and everything.

One more biggest harm happened when British began caste & religious based census. All the 4 groups were divided into further sub groups as per their activity and this game of labelling people began in this country. People got their identities as per this Caste & their religions. In all govt departments, social places you were made to disclose your caste. This is how people isolated from each other. If want to create hatred among them it became simple, publish in society by taking name of group saying “So and So people have done so and so against other people”. This is how hatred happened and even riots. You will never hear in history that riots happened in India, kings fought with each other but not people. This all began when divide and rule policy of british came. On one end they would suppress Sudras and on another end they used to put it on Brahmins or Kshatriya. This way whoever moves away from each other they used to get sympathy of British and used to land up in their Army, Police, Administration etc. This is how they ran this country. People got deceived by these tactics, our own people brought harm to our own and till today same is continuing.

Macualay’s address clearly tells that all people were wealthy, nobody oppressed no one but if you see various propaganda run today, gaps in society are increased day by day. Somebody says, Brahmins have oppressed since many centuries, somebody says we Vaishya’s are great as we run country by paying taxes, somebody says we Kshtriya’s are most great, somebody says we Brahmins are great & purest. These foolish egos are increasing gaps & disbelief among people. Various groups including politicians are giving air to such activity. Imagine even today caste & religion based census happens and governments declares religion & caste wise population, their growths etc. For what? Are you allowing to continue same patterns which divides us. One gap existed among 4 groups is they avoided sharing their knowledge with each other and we saw degradation of knowledge, skills.

Another interesting aspect in this is to see how adoption of varna by birth has created mess and fun as well. Ex – If someone says he is Brahman because he/she is born in Brahman family then will he be one? If he has Aptitude of Kshatriya then see what happens, anger will be on his nose and on small mistakes , you can expect curse flowing immediately from his/her own mouth. Even small thing is missing in any ritual then you will have to face his wrath. If his aptitude is of Vaishya then his attention will be towards profits. He may devise various ways to make money through various unnecessary rituals. If he has aptitude of Sudra then he is doing injustice to his skills. Look at the people who are running these coaching classes these days. Many of them are charging huge money for teaching. Aren’t they doing job of Brahmana with the mindset of Vaishya?

If someone says he is Kshatriya because he/she is born in Kshatriya family then will he be one?. There are ample examples in history where sons of great kings have taken their tale deep inside on battle ground and ran away. Whole state got defeated and people suffered. You need to have valor, skills of battlefield. If his/her aptitude is in painting or teaching then will he be able to perform his job as King? This is why this method of ‘Kings son becomes King’ has failed many times.

If someone says he is Sudra because he/she is born in Sudra family then will he be one?…There are ample examples of sons of Sudras who were kings, who were great saints and in a way were true Brahmins.

If someone says he is Vaishya because he/she is born in Vaishya family then will he be one?. If real aptitude of Vaishya is of Kshatriya then will he be able to do trading or business? No, there are ample examples around us, you enter their shop and little more enquiries or small argument may result into these statements “Lena hai to le nahi to nikal”, “If you want to buy then buy else get lost”. Isn’t it funny, Kshatriya aptitude plays here and you will observe all such business people are always in loss. If your king has aptitude of greedy Vaishya then also it is big problem. He will end up doing business of each and everything. I will explain it more in detail.

If someone takes support from scriptures for their misunderstanding then also they cannot justify. In bhagwatgita it is “CHATUR VARNYAM MAYAA SRISHTAM GUNA KARMA VIBHAGASHAHA TASYA KARTARAM API MAAM VIDDHI AKARTARAM AVYAYAM”. It clearly says it is Varnam and then further says Guna Karma Vibhagashaha. Means depending on aptitude these four groups have come up and nowhere it mentioned that it is by birth etc. Even today people have formed so many different groups through various associations. Doctors association, bar council (lawyers), labor unions, bankers association, jewelers association, taxi/auto drivers association, engineers association, chartered accountants association etc…

If someone takes support of Vedas and say that it is mentioned that Brahmins are head or Kshatriyas are hands, sudras are legs and Vaishya’s are thighs etc…All are our body parts and we equally love and need them. If nay part is cut then you will not be able to do anything and mind it if somebody says that you are compared to legs that is why you are less important then tell them that even today when people meet elders or respected people then they touch their feet and not head or hand. If people try to divide or try to boast their ego on these issues then ignore them.

Coming back to greedy Vaishya, If you make greedy Vaishya (mind it greedy) as your king then what happens? Answer is today’s world. Most of the Vaishya’s are good but few greedy when come to absolute power then what happens…

• • Due to polluted water, people are forced to buy clean water…business…

• • Due to inefficient government education system, people are forced to put their children in extremely expensive private schools & colleges….business…

• • Every year people’s electricity, water, gas charges go up….business…

• • People don’t have water to drink but river of liquor flows….business…

• • At every step people are looted by doing corruption…business…

• • Look at judiciary…pay money and get bail…business…need good lawyers…pay big money…business

• • Want to cure your diseases…buy expensive medicines or expensive treatments…. Business…

• • Even humans are traded by human trafficking…business…

• • Farmers die as they don’t have good rates for their produce and common people lose money while buying same produce…who earns- middlemen…business…

• • Want to live in a home/flat…pay huge money to builders…business…

• • Want to drive on road…pay toll…business…

Look around; there could be so many more examples. This is the issue right now. Few people/politicians/businessman cannot think beyond money. They continue dividing people in same line to capture power. Infuse people with ego of their own caste and hatred for others, and then job is easy. Anybody can win election by saying or portraying as if he is messiah of their own caste or showing sympathy. He/She can use bad words for others against which hatred is their in people’s mind and then he can work as vote cutter of his own community. If you see, no religion, caste is under threat but yes 3 things are under big threat – 1 ) Your Character (systematic degradation of ethics is happening) 2) your land, this motherland 3) Your pocket

Time has come that we don’t succumb to such tactics, we all unite and say “Hum Sab Ek Hain “/”We all are one” and fight against injustice.

 

 

DEMON RAKTABEEJA, GODDESS KAALI (MOTHER GODDESS / MOTHER NATURE) AND ITS CURRENT RELEVANCE…

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 Goddess Kaali. Lets see how it is relevant in current times.

General story goes like this, once upon a time there was a demon called ‘Raktabeeja’ (Rakta means blood and Beeja means seed). He had done severe penance/austerities and out of that he got a boon from Lord Brahma (Called as Generator. He is responsible for generation of planet, universe. He resides in our body as well. He resides in stomach and everything in our body is generated there). Boon was- if his one drop of blood falls on earth then such 1000 soldiers like him will be born again. After receiving this boon he started misusing, intimidating, harassing to people, saints and GODs also got scared and could not control him. All gods ran towards mother goddess and requested for her help. She agreed to help them and she was fighting with Raktabeeja and wounded him at many places but due to his boon, thousands and thousands many more soldiers got created in battlefield and whole situation became more complicated. Mother Durga then meditated and transformed herself into goddess Kaali. Kaali is with blue body, large eyes filled with anger, her red tongue wide open and with ferocious speed advancing on opponents. Looking at this form all demons got frightened. Kaali took out her tongue and drank blood of all the soldiers of Raktabeeja and eventually all of them got killed. Raktabeeja was only one who was left on battlefield. Kaali advanced towards him, wounded him and immediately started drinking his blood and finally Raktabeeja got killed. In the whole process she drank so much blood of demon that it started affecting her and out of intensity and joy of her win she started dancing uncontrollably. Her dance was so intense that it started hurting all and earth started trembling. All people, gods ran towards lord Shiva (her companion) and requested him to calm down Kaali. Looking at destruction happening around, Lord Shiva tried to stop her but she was not listening anything. Looking at this finally lord Shiva laid his body on her path and she accidently stepped on him. Lord Shiva is nothing but infinite pure consciousness (resides in our head). As soon as her feet touched Shiva, she got her consciousness back and stopped her dance and all GODs & people got relief. As showed in above picture, you can see mother goddess is transforming herself into Kaali and Lord Shiva is below her feet.

Lets understand these symbols first. Most of the times we refer GOD as ‘he’ or ‘father’ etc. But what about mother? Is father alone or is he with companion? Answer is he is with companion and she is our mother. Here Lord Shiva symbolizes our infinite consciousness like infinite sky. Blue body presents color of sky which is transparent, hollow and empty and has no demands, wishes, regrets or guilt. Mother Goddess symbolizes pure energy with which this cosmos, this planet and our body is filled with. This consciousness & energy are both inside us. We have both father & mother inside us. If your body has consciousness and no energy then you will not be even able to do anything and even you will be unable to move. If you have only energy and no consciousness then things you will be doing will be senseless and you may end up harming yourself and others. In our body energy is created by whatever we eat, drink, physical activity, thoughts (yes thoughts affect your energy). This energy gets created in stomach, gets absorbed in blood and transferred to various body parts by heart and your head also gets this blood and then your consciousness behaves in proper way. If energy supplied to your head is good then it will destroy all the bad things arising in your head (all the bad thoughts) and you will have only good, pleasant thoughts and these thoughts again affect your energy. This is vicious cycle. Good will give birth to more good and bad will give birth to more bad. Simple example – take a look at the guy who is drunk. He loses his complete consciousness. Kind of thing he consumed created that kind of energy and affected his consciousness in that way. So we can say that energy is connector between yourself and pure consciousness. Now look at this cycle again – stomach works as Generator, Heart works as Operator and Head which is place of your consciousness works as Destructor (of bad things). Generator, Operator, Destructor, bring first 3 letters of these 3 words and you arrive at GOD and common thread between them is energy which is nothing but Mother Goddess. This way whole nature is filled with this energy. Plants, birds, animals, land everything you see has energy in it (only thing is form is different). We need to see which thing will generate pure energy inside us then consume only that, act only as per that!

Now coming back to demon Raktabeeja and let us see how it is relevant in current times. Rakta means Blood and Beeja means Seed. Is there such demon who is rising by thousands of multiplication. Answer is Yes and not one but many are there and we are responsible for it. This demon is getting bigger because of our impulsive reactions which are coming from us or going into deeper sense, from our blood (as blood has energy). Raktabeeja is game of action – reaction. One action leading to thousands of reaction. Somebody says something and receives thousands of reaction on it and that person again becomes bigger. On social media sites, news channels, print media, in group talks we start reacting to it and many times reactions are also put in bad words. Right now corrupt & bad politicians, actors, businessman and so called intellectuals are using this game of Action – Reaction and becoming bigger and bigger. See if below examples make this thing little clear and most importantly media is central among all

• • Politicians deliberately plant their own people as opposition and these planted people abuse them deliberately in indecent or bad words. Ex- Somebody calls somebody as mental etc. We suddenly start giving our reactions on it. Start our fight against it saying how can you say this, bla bla bla and we end up supporting politician to whom he said bad words. In this process politician becomes bigger and person who used bad words also becomes bigger as you gave him so much attention and kept him in news and he kept on becoming bigger. These people stand in elections and due to our reactions even win it or they work as vote cutters of their community votes. This is the most dangerous trend going on and people are falling in trap of this.

• • Politicians deliberately speak ghastly sentences, foul words for other communities as if they are messiah of their own community which is portrayed as under threat from rest of world. Ex- Somebody said in India that give me 1 hour and I will finish particular community etc. Suddenly all people started giving reactions. This guy is bad, mad bla bla and what not. Person who was unknown to millions of people suddenly came in focus and because of reaction of people he started growing bigger. Why to give importance to such people? Just ignore them and they automatically die. Recently few people from religious sphere deliberately started speaking foul words for other religion (like send them to Pakistan etc) and suddenly thousands and thousands of reaction came for it. People who were unknown to even their neighbors became bigger and bigger by using this bad way.

• • See these movie actors, producers, how they use this trick and politicians also help them in this. These days you would see almost before every movie some controversy arises. Deliberately hurting religious sentiments, some fight with some group and media covers it and we give our reactions to it. How can he hurt our religion, show things like this in movie etc. Infact recently for one movie, few MPs started disturbing parliament because of one movie poster. Even before release of movie they were giving publicity to it. I will not be surprised if it comes out that they had handshake with movie producers & actors. Due to this controversy, reaction of people is they cannot control their curiosity and they watch these movies to find out what is there in it. In today’s world of multiplexes, expensive tickets & multiple shows they earn millions and millions of dollars which is not possible for even big corporate house to earn in such a short period of time. In one more such instance, one writer accused one film’s actors & producers that they have stolen his content & made their movie. Whole electronic & print media started showing this news in big way. Result of this was movie became more and more famous and writer’s book as well. Many copies of his book got sold. This is just beginning as they have tasted the blood and more such things will happen so just ignore..

• • Now see how businessman use this. Before launching some product they create such anxiety & fanfare through promotion among people, by creating a scenario such that people react in such an impulsive way that they wait for whole nights to buy one tech gadget and ready to pay any price. People can’t hold of their impulsive reaction and just fall in the trap to buy things. Just check around how many times you have done this.

• • Some newpaper or news channel deliberately shows some news like “Hindus killed Muslims” or “Muslims killed Hindus” Or “Christians got killed” Or they publish news by deliberately putting castes in the news like “people of so and so cast did this to people of so and caste”. Suddenly our impulsive reactions begin, people come on streets and riots begin or people even kill each other and problem becomes more and more bigger.

• • Some news channels, papers start showing/printing that so and so saint is fraud. He has done so and so bad thing. Without checking the fact we start reacting. I have seen people cursing in most abusive way without even checking facts on their own. In India one Shankaracharya was arrested on day of Dipawali. Charge was put on him that he murdered one person. Media channels ran various shows covering this for almost more than 2000 hours. He was depicted as demon and suddenly people started reacting in very bad manner. Supreme court created special bench to hear this case and found out that he was not at all guilty. Total coverage given by media to his acquittal was hardly of 8 minutes.

–      See how so called intellectuals & social workers are trying to use same method. They deliberately tweet some stupid thing or use foul language and media shows it. People immediately start giving reactions to all this and that person becomes bigger & bigger.

There could be many such examples. Think now, how many times where, when we acted like this. I have seen on social media, people react in very abusive way. What is that you cannot control your reaction? It is our impulsive behavior which is arising as we are unable to handle our own energy and ultimately we are not in our full consciousness. If our energy is pure, in correct amount & channeled in right direction then we will be in our full consciousness and we will first find out facts behind things, will react judicially and these demons will die automatically. First thing is become aware of these tricks and when we become aware then we are alert & behave with full consciousness. Question may arise how do I generate pure energy. Though I am not expert on that ,few things definitely we need to do. Eat good, Sattwik food (which increases sat gun in us), do daily exercise, yoga, pranayama, avoid non vegetarian (what we eat, we become like that), avoid drinking things like alcohol etc, keep your heart and mind pure. If we are unable to do it then lets pray together to Mother Goddess to help us in blossoming in our consciousness by guiding her energy in proper way and defeating these demons.

 

REALITY OF PAKISTAN’S POLITICIANS, ISI…ROOT OF TERRORISM…WHY INDIA MUST TAKE OVER PAKISTAN’S ARMY & ISI

We all know how terrorism has spread across the world and it is affecting so many countries and so many people but rarely we try to go deeper into it and try to analyze from where these youth are joining this terrorism, from where do they get weapons and training and what really they want to achieve and most importantly for whom.

Deception is biggest tool used in this period of time and it is biggest enemy of common people. I would say root of terrorism lies in the partition of India which was earlier known as BHARAT. We all know before giving independence to India, British divided this country into two parts one is called as India and another Pakistan. It looks like two agents from both sides perfectly helped them in executing this split. Such kind of thing cannot be achieved unless and until you have support from within. People were shown dream of separate Islamic state to which these politicians enforced on people and later on what happened is history. Part of BHARAT was broken, our own people separated from us, they were imbibed in their mind that Hindusthan is their no.1 enemy; weapons and money were given to attack and harass their own people. Out of this deception youth are doing as per false image being shown to them. This way one enemy was created around BHARAT.

Interesting is why they chose only that area where Pakistan is today and Bangladesh. Bangladesh was earlier part of Pakistan. Why didn’t they choose Kerala or Gujrat or Maharashtra as Separate state? First thing happened is famous silk route was broken and India got separated from its all friend countries like Afghanistan, IRAQ, IRAN as Pakistan lies between them and India. In a way whole middle east got isolated and what is happening in middle east is we can see. Countries are used only for their oil and term called petro dollar took birth. Another most imp thing happened was Brits ensured that Indian Army unable to chase them back through this silk route. Kind of revolt had happened in Indian Army and doubts regarding death of Subhash Chandra Bose were there, it looks like this step helped them as this one leader had capability to organize Army and teach lesson to opponents. If you look at the eastern border of Pakistan you will realize that India is completely isolated and we cannot advance towards western side by land. Now if you look at the current Bangladesh’s area, we realize that large boundary of north east states, as well as Myanmar is attached to it. We have very narrow portion to reach north east and countries like Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Wrong policies of initial governments of our country had isolated north east and all these countries. Now If we see the world map these are extremely strategic locations. On east of Pakistan is India, on west oil rich countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. On eastern side of Bangladesh, it is today’s south east Asia. So many countries got isolated from India and all of them would have prospered along with India and would not have suffered the way they did. It is shrewdness of few of our politicians that Bangladesh got separated and saved from future misery.

Coming back to Pakistan, we need to see why it attacked India 3 times when it itself was in such bad condition. If we observe the timings then we realize that whenever Govt in India was not suitable and hostile to big businessman and few royals of western countries, India got attacked. Country which does not have any manufacturing facilities, no big universities, broken economy can never afford War. Then why War? Were wars imposed by few politicians and few officers of ISI or whole people of Pakistan? Answer is few politicians and few officers of ISI. In few people’s decision whole country is dragged in to it. These few people are nothing but I feel they are agents of few western countries. They hold large properties, visas, money in foreign bank accounts. They just run the agenda of western businessman & royals. By attacking India they bankrupt themselves as well as try to break the economy of India as well (by increasing expenditure on war).

Agents of Pakistan have taken it to such low level that it is almost bankrupt and dependent of western money which unfortunately goes into terrorism. People of Pakistan may not be even aware of this and nor do common people of western countries must be knowing this (most of them are in debt). Various wars with India, no agriculture or industrial growth, no research institutes or any infrastructure, huge amount of corruption has ensured that country’s income sources are meagre compared to its expenses. If you read history carefully, in earlier times Kings used to be Mandlik of Brits and these days politicians are mandlik. Since Pakistan is created, from that time till now it looks like it has been ruled by these Agents. Take it for Jinhha, mushrraf or Bhutto. What did they do? They kept on nodding their head as per intelligence agency called ISI, western politicians and looks like ISI completely runs on money from western world. This ISI appears to be stronger than even these politicians. Many times they have overthrown these politicians. When Mushraff overthrew Sharif, that guy went to western country & settled in London. Then when it was turn of Mushraff, again he went to same country. Bhutto who instigated people of Kashmir against Kashmiri pundits by showing false dreams of freedom etc finally got killed after her job of complicating Kashmir issue. All know Kashmir is integral part of India but agents from India also agreed to various ridiculous clauses like 370 and people of Kashmir got isolated more. If you go there and see condition of people then they are living in extremely poor condition. Is this what people wanted? Absolutely no. First thing happened is tourism of Kashmir got destroyed. Kashmir is the most beautiful place on the earth. Today people go to European countries and spend lot of money which would have went to people of Kashmir and people of India. Second thing is Pakistan got this virtual issue of Kashmir and they just keep attacking India on basis of that. Prima facie it looks like this attack is done by Pakistan but in reality this attack is done by western politicians and greedy businessman. These days it is disgusting to see how map of India is shown in various search engines or world maps. Deliberately Kashmir is not shown as part of India. Few separatist leaders now showing dreams of this failed state called Pakistan to few youth of Kashmir. These youths must stay away from these people and must not fall into their traps.

Question arises in mind, how come so much terrorism flourished in Pakistan and affecting all. In this age of nuclear weapons, no country can afford direct war with country which is also a nuclear state. To counter this situation, proxy army is created called as terrorist. They fight, create damage and no country claims their ownership if they are caught. Question arises how this proxy Army is created? Answer is agents. Land of Pakistan is good for irrigation, it has minerals as well. Instead of focusing on these and improving economic condition of people by providing education to all, these agents ensured that all people do not get education. Out of poverty youths are thrown/lured into terrorism or thrown into hardcore religious fundamentalist teaching which is manipulated as per agenda. People even say that school books are accordingly prepared and when there are surveys from various international organizations, they do change those for limited period of time. From that age this brainwashing is done and mentally prepared to do the job but poor people do not realize the effects of this. They do not know who the guys are pulling the strings of this dangerous game. These youth are used to fulfill various agendas of various different groups. Nobody knows who is getting trained where and which groups they are joining. Common people of Pakistan are struggling and living in very dangerous situation. For them only change is face of agent but day by day on ground situation is becoming worst. Look at this example of Kargil war, officers of Pakistan’s army posed as terrorist and occupied key positions in Indian territory. Pakistan’s army refused to even take back bodies of their soldiers. India spent huge money and lost so many brave army officers while claiming back same land. Yashwant Sinha then Finance Minister of country had to raise taxes to meet this expenditure and many of small businessmen became unhappy with govt and it was also one of the main factors for anti-incumbency wave against Bajapyee govt. This is how Pakistan is used against India to fulfill agenda of western interest at the cost of their own people, money and India as well. Many Pakistani youths are being used in Afghanistan, Iraq and those countries are going through war since almost last 13-15 years. If Pakistan would not have been there then Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran would not have gone through suffering through which they are going.

Imagine what must be happening to a family if youth of that family joins terrorism. What his parents shall do? How his sister must be surviving? This is how houses and in effect society is destroyed. Recently one terrorist caught in northern part of India gave his home no, upon calling on that no his father said “Yes he is my son but now ISI and terrorist groups may kill us as well”. Why they will kill because then it will be confirmed that he is citizen of Pakistan, trained by ISI. This is how people of Pakistan are suffering living in fear and economic despair.

One important & humongous economic loss caused by this split up between India, Pakistan & Bangladesh is to Cotton industry. In the whole world cotton grown up by these 3 regions is largest and finest. There are 7 billion people on planet and everybody needs cloths but this split between them and animosity creates very unhealthy competition and nobody gets anything. Cotton growing farmers are suffering despite of huge demand. You go to any developed nation and you will find clothes either made in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or Egypt and that too at very cheap price. Reason is this split and lack of unity between cotton growing industries in these 3 regions.

On one end few western countries are tightening the noose around Iran saying that Iran is pursuing nuclear program. Iran has such strict economic sanctions and it is completely isolated. Iran has done nothing wrong or not acted against anyone. On another end country called Pakistan where agents are propagating terrorism, that country is given billions of dollars in financial aid. Isn’t it as good as funding terrorism? Even small kids can tell you that terrorist camps are run in Pakistan then do you think these western countries’ politicians and businessman do not know who claim to know even color of undergarments of various presidents of different countries. Why till now Pakistan is not economically sanctioned? Only thing done is to show the world that they ban terrorist groups and these people form new new groups with different name. People of these western countries on one end suffering due to lack of jobs, debt and recessions and on another end their politicians are giving billions of dollars to those countries where this money is going to terrorism.

Western politicians attacked Afghanistan and did complete destruction and on another end they did nothing for terrorism which spreading through Pakistan, infact they kept on providing money to them. This is how you handcuff a country. Your country is destroyed by air bombing and on another end terrorists are knocking your door then what to do, you have no option but to take help of western Army and nod your head as they say. This is how NATO forces have stayed in Afghanistan for last 13-14 years and numerous soldiers of NATO forces are also killed, huge amount of money spent from their budgets and NATO countries are also thrown into huge debt by these greedy politicians and businessman. In between, under the disguise of weapons of mass destruction they attacked IRAQ and words will fall short to describe the amount of destruction done. There were 700000 widows after this attack and till date not a single weapon has been found. NATO troops occupied IRAQ and it is interesting to see timing of their pulling out of IRAQ and upcoming of ISIS. From where ISIS got money, from where they got weapons? Were NATO forces unaware of this…Why till date nothing has been done against them…After lot of Kurdish people got killed then some small attacks started… this tells who is sponsoring this and running this…

We as Indians need to think and see that after our independence, virtual enemy called Pakistan was created otherwise after 200 years of sucking your blood, your only enemy is brits. All your gold is looted, education systems, history destroyed & we are left with this stupid paper currency. Whole of our attention is diverted towards Pakistan and right now also we need to see who are the people giving money and weapons to Pakistan, they are the people spreading terrorism. People of Pakistan need to see that Indians are not their enemy at all but these agents and western businessmen are looting them using them. They must cooperate with India and become friendly nation else it is must that India takes over Pakistan’s Army & ISI and frees up entire region and brings peace.

One more big harm which is happening is to the innocent followers of Islam. If any terrorist activity happens then all media people cover that news saying ‘Islamist terrorist did this, they did that….’ And BBC is also no exception and they also cover the news in the same manner. Whole religion is deliberately being maligned in this and these youth are not even aware of this conspiracy and what harm they are doing to themselves. Saints say that real meaning of Islam is peace then how come terrorist became Islamist. True Islamist will never get involved in violence and people who are involved in violence are not at all Islamist. Youth must abandon this act and return to their homes and serve their country & humanity for its prosperity.

BE RICH, KNOW YOUR MONEY DRAINERS – FIXED COST,VARIABLE COST

In our day to day life we spend money for so many things. Few things we require frequently and few things depend on our wish and even if we do not have these things we will remain fine. Rarely do we take some time to notice how we are spending, where we are spending and what effects of it are. In a way few costs are fixed every month and few other varies on our wish and we can control these variable costs easily.

Despite of our amount of income, whether we earn or not, costs which we must have to incur are called as fixed costs. Come what may you need to pay this. Costs which may depend upon your usage or will to buy something but you will be fine without it or you can delay or cancel then such type of costs are called as Variable Costs. Costs which are not regular and may come unexpectedly are variable casts (ex – some kind of surgery or hospitalization cost etc). You may have greater influence to control on this variable cost but if your fixed cost is rising then for sure know that you are heading towards bigger trouble and eventually it will lead you towards situation of lesser and lesser money in your pocket and finally even bankruptcy

Lets look at some of the examples of fixed and variable cost. Now look at these and decide which one are increasing day by day.

Fixed Cost

• Electricity Bill
• Gas Bill
• Water Bill (Though Electricity, Gas, Water bills depend on our usage but incase of households we need that every month and bare minimum charges we will have to bear and without these we cannot live)
• Television Recharge
• Internet Charges
• Maintenance of Apartment
• Muncipal corporation taxes
• Groceries (it is little variable but you need every month)
• Monthly Transport Cost
• Yearly Premiums of Various Insurance
• Vehicle Servicing and Maintenance (If you have) and Fuel Expenses
• School/College and Tuition Fees
• Fixed medical expenses of long term diseases (Ex – BP, Sugar etc)
• Water Filters (If you have one)
• Any EMI of loans

Variable Cost

• Phone bill
• Mobile Bill
• Clothing
• Any Holiday
• Unexpected Medical Expenses
• Eating in Restaurants
• Movies/ Drama etc
• Furniture & any other Electrical equipment
• Cell phones, laptops or any other such tech gadgets
• Home decorative items
• Consumption of Liquor, Cigarettes, Tambakhoo, Gutkha

I have tried to highlight some of the examples and there could be many more. If we keenly observe, our Fixed cost is rising and not only that no of parameters which are falling under fixed cost they too are rising. This is the most dangerous situation to be in. Just imagine if tomorrow if you lose your job then how are you going to pay these costs as you earn or not they will be accumulating. Even if you do not lose your job then see how much money they are draining out of your pocket.

Now just check if you are facing these scenarios in case of fixed/ Variable Costs

• Electricity and Gas prices rising before every winter
• Water Charges are rising or due to polluted water you are forced to buy pure water or water filters
• Rising Phone, Cellphone bills
• Train/ Bus tickets rising every year
• Maintenance of Apartments rising
• Various taxes rising
• Cost of vehicle maintenance rising (fuel, servicing, tyres etc)
• EMIs are rising
• You have too many gadgets or their newer and newer versions

If above situation is true then it is not good and for sure your savings rate must be very low. First thing we all need to do is collectively (Individuals, Society and Governments) reduce things which are falling under fixed costs and try to reduce cost of every parameter which is falling under fixed cost. We all need to think how can we reduce our electricity bills, how can we reduce various taxes, how can we stay away from all loans infact you must stay away from all loans. First earn and then spend out of your earnings. Do not borrow and spend in anticipation of your future earnings. Stay away from unwanted insurance products (they are good for bankers but not for us). Devise innovative transport mediums. Check if all of you can grow organic vegetables, fruits, common herbs in some common places. Like this we need to collectively work out and we all must reduce these costs.

Second is reduce variable costs. If you have discipline in yourself then definitely many of them can be reduced.

• Just because there is ‘Sale’, don’t go and buy useless things. Check if you really need them.
• Just because something is tempting for house decoration do not buy and waste your money.
• Focus on your health. In a feverishness to make money, people run around for it and lose their health. Later on they spend whatever they earned to get back their health.
• Stay away from this madness of having every newer version of tech gadgets with you. You will end up spending huge money unnecessarily on it. Tech companies know this and they keep on bringing newer and newer models of same product every few months. Big euphoria is created on Television, Electronic and Print media. Various tricks are used to make the product popular even before its launch and it is ensured that anxiety of people is at highest level for these products. There are people who want to rush to stores to buy first and flaunt it. If you see they become so joyful after it as if they have got back their own kidneys! Know these traps and do not fall into it and waste your hard earned money. There are tech companies whose assets are have grown up so much that they can easily buy any small country!
• Stay away from Liquor, Cigarettes, Tambakhoo and these pan masalas (Gutkhas). Just because it is shown in movies cool thing to drink liquor or smoke that doesn’t mean it is cool thing. Look at the sponsorers of these movies and many of them you will find are these liquor and cigarette companies. Every hero in a movie will have liquor glass or will smoke in order to position that brand as cool thing to do and hero in you then begins to follow this. More the people are addicted to it more are their profits. This is not good. One single bad habit can destroy your entire life. These bad habits not only bring your own destruction but it drags entire family along with it. If you get various diseases due to consumption of these products then your family will have to spend huge money and they all take a hit.

I hope this very high level, little but important info will help us in realizing and noticing our money drainers and increase our savings rate by keeping tap on these drainers!
