Hindu Philosophy And Epic of Mahabharat

                                                                            Mahabharat is a great epic of the world that reflects Hindu philosophy through various means. The 'Bhagavad Gita' is a great philosophical gift to Hindu Religion by Mahabharat. 

                                                                              Besides that, each and every Character in Mahabharat give some message to the people.  There was the total destruction of Kauravas which conveys that if stubborn and wrong attitudes have to be controlled in time otherwise it will ultimately lead to total destruction.

                                                                             Karna was a great warrior and can not be defeated. However, he was killed and defeated because he was supporting the wrong people. Even his Best Arms, Skill, and Blessing of Great also did not work.

                                                                             Aswasthamaa was the son of Great Guru Dronacharya from whom he got the best knowledge and skill of Warfare but he was so much Ambitious that he misuse all the knowledge given by his father. It is not good to be too much ambiguous.

                                                                             Bhismapitah was the eldest person in the Kauravas and Pandav families. He gave promise to his father that he will protect the thorn of Hastinapura without thinking about the consequences thereon. Kauravas were in charge of the thorn to whom he was compelled to support and protect despite that they were wrong and evil. Therefore it is necessary not to give any promise to anybody whereby you have to support and protect undesirable people.

                                                                            Duryodhan was completely destroyed in the war of Mahabharata because he misused Wealth, Strength, Power along with the support of bad and evil-minded people. These types of people always bring total destruction. 

                                                                            If you give power to a Blind, Self-Centered, Uneducated, Egoist, and to a person full of lust then he will lead only to total destruction.   Dhritarashtra was the type of person who brought total destruction to his own family in Mahabharat.

                                                                            One Can't win through fraud every time and in everything. Shakuni all the while played Fraud in the infighting of family. But ultimately he was exposed and failed. 

                                                                              Two characters in Mahabharata were admired very well. i.e. Yudhishthira and Arjun.  Arjuna's humbleness along with his skill and knowledge brought him victory. The victory of Pandavas in Mahabharat was also due to the right guiding principles of Yudhishthira.  Yudhishthira observed values and karma successfully in his life which lead him to final victory. 

                                                                        The Epic of Mahabharata Conveys some wisdom for day-to-day problems and the difficult struggles of life.

Religions

                                                                      Religions never teach Violence, Fraud, or any other things which are Undesirable for human lives. But human nature is such wherein some of the people who are at the top of religious institutions are misguiding and exploiting their followers for their wasted interest

                                  Christ had preached' Love Thy Neighbor.' Hindu philosophy says 'Let all become Happy'.  Buddha had said that ' Silence is the best answer to any abuses instead of Retaliation'. Jainism teaches 'Ask for forgiveness for any Wrongdoing'. Islam believed in the equality of all human beings' Hence religions are teaching the best of the world.

                                  However, the world is today suffering from violence, fraud, and misbehavior on account of people heading over the religions. There are religious heads who are caught in various types of crimes including violence, fraud, and rapes. Some of the religious heads are in jail on various criminal charges. some of the churches are on the verge of liquidations on account of the misbehavior of Priests. This problem is also being faced by the Vatican. Even Hindu Temples of many sects are also facing charges on account of fraud and misbehavior of some of the heads. It can be seen that various religions are facing serious problems because of some of the bad elements therein.

                                       The main reason behind all those religious problems is the lack of character in some of the religious heads. Besides, that blindfolded trust and belief in religious heads have also created a crisis in various religions. 

                                    In short, the level of character and values have to be brought among the preachers and followers thereon.

Democracy or Dictatorship

                                                In a Democracy, it is a rule by elected people with all human rights while in Dictatorship it is the rule of an individual or few individuals with restricted freedom. 

                                                 Democracy is very much in demand because it gives a free atmosphere for the development of the country. In most western countries democracy has developed with maturity while in some of the other countries it has become a mockery in the sense that people enjoy rights without responsibility and without much civic sense. In India, even parliament is standstill since several sessions and laws are passed without discussions.  The prominent people including eminent judges have also criticized about paralyzed parliament.  Sometimes people agitate on the issues in such a manner that it damages the economy of the country. Even some people do not obey traffic or health rules which create lots of Health and Traffic problems. These are a few examples of how Democracy is being exploited by wasted interest.  The democratic forces encouraged democracy in several countries but it failed and proved that dictators gave more stability and progress. Thus sometimes people's irresponsible behaviors and tendencies also become responsible for the failure of Democracy. Besides that in a democracy the progress is slow. Despite that 'Democracy' is the most popular system because freedom has no substitute in this world. 

                                           China, North Korea, are some of the countries where there is a dictatorship and human rights are encroached upon with personal freedom are also absent. In North Korea, all freedom is waived and people are brainwashed in favor of the ruler through media and school education. it is the close country for the world. Similarly, China is ruled by a dictatorial system and every citizen is under their surveillance. Even freedom of citizens is restricted in various ways. Tibet's culture is being suppressed and children are also brainwashed through the education system. They are also settling the Chines population of China in Tibet in order to bring Tibet's local population in minority.  They have also restricted the cultural activities of local people.  In Hongkong  China has broken its undertaking given to people and trying to established its dictatorial regime.  In Xinjiang province, China has put more than one Million Muslim population in the Camp on the excuse of educating them. It is a province wherein Muslims are in majority and China wants to restrict their religious activities and suppress them. thus dictatorial regime is wherein all human rights are being suspended.

                                             In view of one has to choose the system with knowing full rights and duty thereon. In short, Democracy is the best system if all rights are practice with knowing that which are the duties attached to it. The steady progress in democracy is good than losing rights and freedom in a dictatorial regime.

Danger To The World Peace

                                                           Several countries in the world are dangerous to world Peace. Some of them are broken states of the world. A broken State means wherein political bodies have created conditions that the government no longer functions properly.

                                                       There is Three Country in the world which have an 'Axis of Evil'. i.e. China, Pakistan, and North Korea.

                                                       China is in the race of superpower with America and is now fully equipped with Nuclear Arms, Intercontinental Missiles, Submarines,  Latest Fighter Planes, and Aircraft Carriers. However, it is also an expansionist country that has borders disputes with 18 countries around it. China also supports and aligns with those countries which serve its purpose.  Thus has become a member of the 'Evil Axis'.

                                                      Pakistan has become the Hub of Terrorist activities with several Terrorist organizations supported by its Military and Intelligence agencies. The Haqqani Network which is operating in Pakistan is helping the Taliban organization of Afghanistan which is creating lots of violence and trying to grab political power in Afghanistan. Everything is not well in Pakistan and development is already at standstill.     Baluchistan and Sindh provinces are also asking for separation from Pakistan. However, Pakistan is well equipped with Nuclear Arms, Long-Range Missiles, Fighter Planes, and Submarines which can be a threat to world peace.  America has stopped all types of Aids including Arms Aid. However, China is now actively helping Pakistan Militarily / financially which is also a danger to world peace.

                                                  North Korea is also a Rough State with a strong Military Base.  Besides that North Korea is an Authoritarian Communist State. Kim Jong Un is a dictator of North Korea who rules the country in high handed manner.  North Korea is also having  60 Nuclear Weapons, Intercontinental Missiles, Nuclear Submarines which can deliver Missiles that could reach any city in the USA. China is the main supporter of the North Korean regime 

                                                     It can be seen from above that the Axis of China, Pakistan, and North Korea is very dangerous for world peace.

The Great King of India- Ashoka

                                                               Ashoka is being given the title of ' Samrat '(i.e. King of the Kings) in the history of India. He ruled India for more than three decades. It was a period between 302 years to 232 years before Christ. 

                                                                It was a golden period of India and India was known as 'Soneki Chidia i.e. 'Known as a period of  Golden Sparrows '. He ruled from Afghanistan to Bangladesh including Nepal.  There were 23  well-known Universities in India which included 'Takshshila, Nalanda, Vikram Sheela, Gandhara.

Thereafter he became more religious and spiritual.  He built up so many Stumps where he gave religious and spiritual messages. One of such Sheela Lakhs(i.e. Message on Stone) is still there at Girnar, Gujarat State, India. He brought security, peace, and prosperity to India. That is how he became a great ' Samrat Ashok'.

                                                             The modern and independent  India has accepted some of the heritages of  Ashok in the administration of government. Ashoka's Four Mouth Lion' is adopted as a National Symbol. 'Ashok Chakra' is on the Indian National Flag and the Indian army gives the highest gallantry Award under the name ' Ashoka Chakra'.

                                                                 Ashoka was a great king but Indian history has not given its due to his rule which can be done now.

In Search Of The Truth

                                                            The close relationship is sometimes broken on hearsay.  It is very difficult to find the truth behind hearsay. Lies sometimes spread faster than truth. People talk about something which is based on prejudices or vindictiveness or jealousy.  In such circumstances, the search for truth becomes very difficult. The stories created out of above mentioned human weaknesses ruin the character, personality, and positions of a person in society. Unfortunately, very few people try to dig into such adverse stories regarding people in society as they do not have any means and time to reach the truth.

                                                   Generally, things go on accordingly and sometimes innocent people are suffering at the hands of such vicious elements. There is a way to find out the truth behind adverse and malicious stories.

                                                The Great philosopher Socrates had tried to solve such hearsay about his own friends by setting some fine norms. One has to make effort to find out whether there is any truth behind the stories.  The person who conveys such a story should also certify that it is true otherwise one should discard it.  The information which a story conveys must be good, useful for society.  In short, if a story that is not good, useful, and true cannot be given importance. It has to be ignored as it can do injustice to an innocent person.

                             Hence everything has a means and way to reach Truth.
