Karma Yoga

                                                 

                                                                                    Krishna had very hard time to explain  Arjuna about the karma Yoga. He was very much confused with the Illusion and Desire. However Krishna told  Arjuna that people whom you are going to kill in the war are already dead and you  are going to be only instrument in the process . He also added that God does not take any credit for doing karma. Therefore you will get all credits in this world. Besides that you should do your karma and do not think about the end result of  war.  This shows that  God  always take care of  all actions which may be good or  bad.
                              However there are three types of karmas i.e. One is karma is done in Routine,  Second one is  Positive and the last one is Negative. The ordinary people do certain thing without knowing the consequences. The Kaurava were doing all karmas in negative manner. Duryodhan use to say that he knows what is right?  But  can not put into practice'.  However it appears he was very much use to practice wrong. Therefore he was always doing negative karma. while Pandavas were always positive and were doing positive karma under guidance Krishna. This is all worldly karmas.
                             However Krishna also talked in Gita about karma which release your soul from worldly thing and take you the path of knowledge and realization. In such process your soul comes out of all dirt and become clean.  There are many ways  by which path of knowledge/ realization is being achieved.  It is known as Yagna i.e.A means to seek Gyaan. Some  are doing through Prayers, or through Distributing Wealth to Needy or By controlling  Senses, or by Doing Penance. It makes soul clean and  makes one immune of all desire, jealousy and ego. It also makes it easy to reach near goal.  The supreme knowledge is the stage when one gets release of all doubts and everything is being selflessly done for others. That is a meaning of  'Bharat' in Sanskrit i.e Knowledge with Light.

Non Resident Indian- Related

                                                                                                                The good  numbers of Indians are settle down  abroad and good number of young Indians also wants settle down abroad in search of  promising opportunities.  It has created lot of craze among young generation. One of the social workers who is running the school of good standard in the district town was telling me that ' It is really a craze among
parents to send their children abroad for higher studies and for better opportunities. She said when  asked my students the majority of said they would like to go abroad for good i.e. USA,UK, Australia Newzeland and other countries. It is alarming craze in the sense that it is being done in reckless manner and that too without being giving proper thought to the opportunities available abroad. Besides that even lots of opportunities are now available in the India for educated youngsters in the terms of  opportunities. Therefore the craze for foreign education should not be that much acute as use to be.  There are instances wherein  several universities at abroad were compelled to close due to some types of scandals or irregularities. The good numbers of Indian students were made to suffer thereon. The proper verification regarding the credential of university has to be verified before taking admission. This-one of the sector in which Indians have to take care.
                                                           The another field is marriage wherein young boys and girls suffers in  'NRI' marriages. The Indian parents some time think that their girl will be happy by getting bridegroom from Abroad. Some time they are misguided by alleged talk regarding the comforts and money the 'NRIs' earned. They also think that once their daughter reaches abroad they have not to bother about  her welfare. However it is also not crime to think the welfare of children but it is grave mistake to get married daughter in hurry without verifying the credentials of bridegroom. It is also vise verse in the case of 'NRI' boy marring Indian girl. The  bad cases have also have taken place on this side even,
                                                         However recently  attended the seminar on  'Marriage- Indian with 'NRI'. It was organized by 'Non Gujarati Foundation'(Affiliated to Gujarat Government) at Ahmadabad. They translated the booklet in the Gujarati which is being  published by The Government of India.

Leader and Actor
                                           

                                                                                    Leaders and Actors are always born but both are professionally very close to each other. Leaders  and actors both  reach to celebrities status and have to generally play on the  emotions of the masses. They both are always under tension in order to maintain their status.
                                               Their lives are  always exposed to public and nothing in their lives remains personal. Besides that their success depends upon on their Body Language. They both lives in the high society so that some time their lives get mixed up with unreal, unpractical and illegitimate relationship. In short some time they do not have their personal life. However if they can keep their personal lives separate from professional lives than they can be at peace. There are exceptions but that does not prove the rule.
                                                The success of leader  depends upon his Oratory power, Emotional touch and  in his Clear cut goal.  Narendra Mody has become popular among youth by his oratory power and emotional approach. He said' He is a Hidu Rashtrawadi'.  It is a entirely new phrase but it may have appealed the people to raise their patriotism. He said more 'Toilate then Temple'. He tried to emotionally  touch the more then 50% of Indian population who are deprived of Toilate facilities. Besides that Rahul Gandhi's  burst out on the recent ordinance that ' It deserved to be torned and to throw away in waste paper basket. This is clear emotional touch to the opinion of majority people of India who are against it. The ordinance was supposed to protect Criminals in politics. That was done in very sensational way to touch the opinion of masses.
                                                Hence time, words, and its delivery are very important for the success of leadership. The film actor  late Rajkumar was very successful actor on the account of forceful delivery of his  dialogs and its emotional effect on the people.
                                                  Sometime actors are supposed slip in wrong relationship  as they are living glamorous world. Raj Kapoor, Dilipkumar, Salmankhan, are the instances even though they had or having their personal life and family. The leader are also not immune of such instances. Jawahwerlal Nehru was reported to be connected to many ladies as he was very romantic and emotional. Bill Clinton, Former President of America, Late Krishna Menon, Narayandatt Tiwari are the examples who were involved in sex Scandals. It is reported even mahatma Gandhi had a platonic love with niece of Ravindranath Tagore.  Some of the relationship may be considered indiscretion but it is part of leaders and actors lives.
                                                Therefore it is observed that some time leader behaves like actor and some time actor also become leader. This is because they are the two sides coins. But the 'Masses' which is the common factor in the both.

What Mahatma Gandhi meant by real Freedom.

 

 




We had achieved independence on 15th August 1947 but we are still not independent by mind. The poison of slavery is still we are carrying in our mind i.e. Everything is superior than Ours.

                                                                      Gandhiji was not much happy when we achieved independence because it was achieved  without individual self discipline i.e. of Mind and Body. The  freedom has no meaning  without responsible self control. Gandhiji said that  by ruling with majority rule but without the power of people to mend it is not the freedom in the real sense. In short the power of people to control the misrule can only bring the advantage of freedom. Therefore the good rule will always depend upon the power of individual, society and people.

                                                                      Mahatma Gandhi was against the Government control and had also shown his displeasure towards people depending upon the government for  each and every matter. He said freedom suppose to preserve our culture.  Besides that all new things should come up from our land  so that we can return the things which we borrowed from  outside. That will be  the fruits of real freedom.  The freedom can be preserved when majority people are patriot and believes that country  interest is their interest. The freedom is the rule of majority and if majority is selfish and corrupt then there will be chaos.

                                                                           Gandhiji had a dream that free India will be above  the discrimination based on religion/cast, educated/ uneducated, rich and poor. He was for rule of people with observance of high values and rule of  law. His ideal freedom is that common men  should get all minimum requirements. He believed that if there is a unity of purpose then people can make effect on the people who are in power. One can enjoy the right but without harming the others. That is the real meaning of freedom.

(2nd October is the Birth anniversary of father of the nation. India is in bad shape as we have diverted from his ideals. We can pay him our best tribute by making efforts to follow him.)

American Economy and its Effect
                                                       
                                                       Indian Rupee was showing down trend until now but it is getting stabilize after the decision of the American federal reserve.It is a relief for Indian economy which is suffering with inflation, the decreases of production and export. Its Current Account deficit is also going on increasing.
                                                      The Economist were  waiting for the American Federal Reserve decision  regarding the reduction of bond buying amount pm as american economy is improving.They expected that federal reserve may reduce the bond buying per month from 85 billion dollar to 60 billion dollar.
However federal reserve chairman Ben Bernanke kept the stimulus on the same level..
                                                        American Federal Reserve may not have reduce the stimulus for reasons that GDP has increased from 2 to 2.3% instead of 2.3 to 2.6 %. The Real estate market has not yet stabilized and it may go for further correction. The worker participation for increasing the production  is not satisfactory.

                                                         The decision of American federal reserve have boosted other currencies against dollar and brought the life in world share market.  It is relief in world financial market but the Ben Bernanke is retiring in the January 2014. His successor may have to take unpleasant decision  as per the prevailing cicumtances then.

Anger
       
                                   
                           
                                                                            Anger is the root cause of all problems in the world. Draupadi insulted Duryodhan which created Mahabharata under Anger. Manthara instigated Kaikaiya and out of anger the Ramayana took place. Hence the  war in the world and the petty quarrel in the family is being created by Anger.
                             Once person lose his temper and become angry  he does not know what he is speaking? or what he is doing? or what will be the consequences of the same? It is better not to do anything, or not to take any decision or not to speak when one is Angry. Anger sometime makes your best friend worst enemy.
Once the king of England killed his best friend bucket out of Anger and he repented for ever. Even Lord Siva killed his son Ganesh under Anger. Hence nobody is immune of the ugly effect of Anger
Therefore every religion has described the anger as a devil.
Anger
===
The Jainism call anger as a furious fire
while Islam described it as son of Satan
Bible  says it is a dangerous Volcano
and  Hinduism consider to be Hell
Therefore it is better to be away from it
to live better, peaceful and happy life.

The Scandals in Religion



                                                        The society always seek guidance from religion. Therefore religion and its leader should be role model for common man. However it is disturbing that some black patches are found in religious hierarchy. It was observed that several religious sex scandals  and mismanagement of religious institutions have come up wherein religious heads or institutions are involved.
                                                         The Rape cases  relating to Asharam Bapu and Swami Nityanand are the prominent among them. The kashiviswanath Temple of Kashi is one of the most prominent places of Hindu religion. kashipith head Rudranand Saraswati has been going on complaining regarding the large scale corruption prevailing in the management of the said Temple. He alleges that anarchy is prevailing in the management of temple due to vested interest. These all shows how moral values have gone down in the religious matters.
                                                       There are so many cases of child abuses and sex scandals by priest in Christian church that churches have now no funds to pay compensation. It is unfortunate that some time even ladies and children are not safe in the religious places.
                                                        It is said that once Pakistani Military Ruler Aahyakhan was black mailed by one of the Muslim Maulvis. He sent the video tapes of personal sex life of said Maulvi and he has to shut his mouth. This shows how religion and its leaders can impose the morality on society if they are themselves are not beyond doubt.
                                                     Hence no Religion can claim that  all their leaders are clean but it can at least handle such culprits in deterrent manner. Besides that even people has to deal with religious leader cautiously as they cannot taken granted beyond fault. It is the collective efforts of Religious institutions and people can only prevent such scandals.
