Is BJP's Sadsyata Abhiyan is "Napoleon's russia campaign"?

What is the difference between 2014 Lok Sabha elections and other upcoming elections? In my opinion BJP's victory was the victory of thousands of skilled,disciplined and determined peole whose aim was to root out the congress dynasty & its misrule. Modi/Amit Shah's strategy worked very well because the people who were executing it were skilled and represented all the segments of the society. BJP was defeated badly in Delhi elections. Now what will be the out come of Bihar and other up coming elections? BJP is claiming that it crossed 10 crore marks for its very ambitious "Sadasyata Abhiyan". In my opinion Amit Shah is going in Napoleon's way as Napoleon did in his Russian campaign. Napoleon is considered as one of the best Generals in the world. His strategies, vision and planing used to be perfect but still he lost his Russian campaign. The reason was a huge unskilled and undisciplined army. He lost because he forgot his own war principle and best practices that for victory skilled and disciplined army is required not huge army without skills and discipline. So is Amit Shah doing the same thing? Instead of concentrating on skilled, honest & disciplined cadre he started believing on outnumbering the party members ? Will his strategy work for Bihar and others upcoming elections ? or his Bihar/UP campaign will be proven as Napoleon's Russian Campaign.

The Science Behind Why Do We Do What We Do In Hindu Culture

1. Why do we place both palms together to greet?

In Indian culture, people greet each other by joining their palms – termed as “Namaskaar or Namastay.” The general reason behind this tradition is that greeting by joining both the palms means respect. However, scientifically speaking, joining both hands ensures joining the tips of all the fingers together; which are denoted to the pressure points of eyes, ears, and mind. Pressing them together is said to activate the pressure points which helps us remember that person for a long time. And, prevents any germs from being exchanged since we don’t make any physical contact! For the same reason, food and drinks touched by a person's tongue are not partaken by others to prevent infection.


2. Why do Indian women wear a toe ring?

Wearing toe rings is not just the significance of married women but there is science behind it. Normally toe rings are worn on the second toe. A particular nerve from the second toe connects the uterus and passes to heart. Wearing toe ring on this finger strengthens the uterus. It will keep it healthy by regulating the blood flow to it and menstrual cycle will be regularized. As Silver is a good conductor, it also absorbs polar energies from the earth and passes it to the body.


3. Why do we throw coins in the well, pond or river?

The general reasoning given for this act is that it brings Good Luck. However, scientifically speaking, in the ancient times, most of the currency used was made of copper unlike the stainless steel / Nickle coins of today. Copper is a vital metal very useful to the human body. Throwing coins in the water (well, pond and river) was one way our fore-fathers ensured we intake sufficient copper as part of the water as wells, ponds and rivers were the sources of drinking water. Making it a custom ensured that all of us follow the practice.


4. Why do we apply tilak / kumkum on the forehead?

On the forehead, between the two eyebrows, is a spot that is considered as a major nerve point in the human body since ancient times. The Tilak is believed to prevent the loss of “energy”, the red ‘kumkum’ between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. While applying kumkum the points on the mid-brow region and Aadnyaa-chakra are automatically pressed. This also facilitates the blood supply to the face muscles.


5. Why do temples have bells?

People who are visiting the temple should and will ring the bell before entering the inner sanctum (Garbhagudi or Garbha Gruha or womb-chamber) where the main idol is placed. According to Aagama Shaastra, the bell is used to give sound for keeping evil forces away and the ring of the bell is pleasant to God. However, the scientific reason behind bells is that their ring clears our mind and helps us stay sharp and keep our full concentration on devotional purpose. These bells are made in such a way that when they produce a sound it creates a unity in the Left and Right parts of our brains. The moment we ring the bell, it produces a sharp and enduring sound which lasts for a minimum of 7 seconds in echo mode. The duration of the echo is good enough to activate all the seven healing centers in our body. This results in emptying our brain from all negative thoughts.

6. Why do we start our meals with spice & end with sweet?

Our ancestors have stressed the fact that our meals should be started off with something spicy and sweet dishes should be taken towards the end. The significance of this eating practice is that while spicy things activate the digestive juices and acids and ensure that the digestion process goes on smoothly and efficiently, sweets or carbohydrates pulls down the digestive process. Hence, sweets were always recommended to be taken as a last item.


7. Why do we apply mehendi / henna on the hands and feet?

Besides lending color to the hands, mehndi (Henna) is a very powerful medicinal herb. Weddings are stressful, and often, the stress causes headaches and fevers. As the wedding day approaches, the excitement mixed with nervous anticipation can take its toll on the bride and groom. Application of mehndi can prevent too much stress because it cools the body and keeps the nerves from becoming tense. This is the reason why mehndi is applied on the hands and feet, which house nerve endings in the body.


8. Sitting on the floor & eating

This tradition is not just about sitting on floor and eating, it is regarding sitting in the “Sukhasana” position and then eating. Sukhaasan is the position we normally use forYoga asana-s. When you sit on the floor, you usually sit in simple, relaxed cross-legged posture – in sukhasana or a half padmaasana (half lotus), which are poses that instantly bring a sense of calm and help in digestion, it is believed to automatically trigger the signals to your brain to prepare the stomach for digestion.


9. Why you should not sleep with your head towards the north?

The myth is that it invites ghost or death, but science says that it is because the human body has its own magnetic field (also known as hearts magnetic field, because of the flow of blood) and earth is a giant magnet. When we sleep with the head towards the north, our body’s magnetic field becomes completely asymmetrical to the Earth’s Magnetic field. That cause problems related to blood pressure and our heart needs to work harder in order to overcome this asymmetry of magnetic fields. Apart from this, another reason is that our body has a significant amount of iron in our blood. When we sleep in this position, iron from the whole body starts to congregate in the brain. This can cause a headache, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cognitive Decline, Parkinson disease, and brain degeneration. Therefore, the ideal position would be to sleep with the head towards the south and feet towards the north.

10. Why do we pierce our ears?

Piercing the ears has great importance in Indian ethos. Indian physicians and philosophers believe that piercing the ears helps in the development of intellect, the power of thinking and decision making faculties. Talkativeness fritters away life energy. Ear piercing helps in speech-restraint. It helps to reduce impertinent behavior and the ear-channels become free from disorders. This idea appeals to the Western world as well, and so they are getting their ears pierced to wear fancy earrings as a mark of fashion.

A Glimpse of Ram-Rajya

Prathamik Siksha Verga( PSV) Camp was conducted in Bangalore. It was a week-long camp starting from 27th Dec and concluded today. It was a week full of experiences which is difficult to put in words. Every moment was very special and full of knowledge and energy. But definitely I want to share an experience and I am sure only "Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh" can inculcate the feeling of "Ram Rajya". From day one, a shop was installed named "Ram Rajya". At first sight, it looked just like another ordinary shop but when concept and the idea were revealed.

            I was surprised and was even more surprised when came to know about the outcome. The concept behind it was that the shop will not have any shop keeper or caretaker. The shop will have different commodities displayed along with their prices. The person who wants to shop anything has to pick up the needed item and he has to put the money as per price list. Not even a single item or a penny was missing on the last day.
           I was wondering if this is possible in our society? If 150+ people can have the feeling of "Ram Rajya" in mind I am sure we all can have and implement it. I have seen this being implemented.

भारत और पाकिस्तान के लिए अमेरिकी दृष्टीकोण - पंडित दीन दयाल जी की राजनितिक डायरी से

अमेरिका की जनता और सरकार दोनों भारत - पाक एकता क लिए उत्सुक हैं ! किन्तु वे भारत का दृष्टिकोण पसंद करने की बात तो दूर, उसे समझने में भी विफल हैं! न केवल सर्वसाधारण अमरीकी, बल्कि वहां के विश्वविद्यालय के प्राध्यापक जैसे उच्च-शिक्षित व्यक्ति भी भारतीय जीवन के बारे में सर्वथा अनिभिज्ञ हैं! वहाँ यह भावना व्यापक रूप से विद्यमान है की भारत का विभाजन हिन्दू-मुस्लिम आधार पर हुआ था, और भारत में कोई मुसलमान नहीं रहता! एक विश्वविद्यालय में विदेशी छात्रों को प्रध्यापक के साथ वार्ता करते समय मैंने उनसे पूछा की विभिन्न देशो से आने वाले छात्रों से क्या उन्हें कोई कठिनाई अनुभव होती है ? उन्होने उत्तर दिया - अरब छात्र इस्राइल के यहूदी छात्रो के साथ रहना पसंद नहीं करते! मैंने उनसे पुनः प्रश्न किया की क्या भारत और पाकिस्तान से आने वाले छात्रो के बारे मैं भी उनका यही अनुभव है, तो उन्होंने नकारात्मक उत्तर दिया और कहा की यह आश्चर्य की बात है की दोनों देशो के बीच तनावपूर्ण सम्बन्ध होते हुए भी भारतीय और पाकिस्तानी छात्रों के बीच मैत्री की भावना के साथ कैसे रह लेते हैं !

       मैंने उनको यह कहकर पूर्ण स्थिति समझाने की कोशिश की, कि भारत का विभाजन कृत्रिम आधार पर हुआ है और पुर इतिहास में हम एक ही रहे हैं, अतः केवल एक राजनितिक रेखा जनता को विभाजित नहीं कर सकती! मैंने उनसे यह भी कहा की यदि वहां का कोई व्यक्ति उनके पास आ जाये तो शायद ही यह पहचान पाए की वह भारतीय है या पाकिस्तानी!उन्होंने कहा, " क्यों यह तो बिलकुल ही सरल है!" मैंने पूंछा कि ' आप कैसे पहचानोगे ?' उन्होंने कहा बहुत, " बहुत ही सरल है ! यदि उसका नाम मुसलमानी है तो वह निश्चय ही पाकिस्तानी है, अन्यथा भारतीय है! मुझे यह अंगूठा छाप तरीका सुनकर बड़ा ही आघात लगा! मैंने उनसे विश्वविद्यालय के भारतीय छात्रों की एक सूची देने का अनुरोध किया! उन्होंने सूची प्रदान करने का आदेश दे दिया ! उसमे लगभग एक दर्ज़न मुस्लिम छात्र थे ! मैंने पूछा कि क्या यह सूची सही है क्यूंकि इसमें कई 'पाकिस्तानी नाम ' गलती से शामिल हो गए प्रतीत होते हैं! उन्होंने उसके सही होने कि गारंटी दी ! तब मैंने उनको वे मुस्लिम नाम दिखाए और उनसे पूछा की क्या वे यह जानते हैं कि ये मुस्लिम छात्र हैं, और तब भी उनके नाम भारतीय सूची में शामिल हैं! उन्होंने ये स्वीकार किया के ये नाम मुस्लिम हैं, किन्तु वे यह नहीं बता सके किइस सूची मे कैसे हैं! वे कुछ चकित और हतप्रभ दिखाई पड़े! मैंने उन्हें ये बताया कि उस सूची में मुस्लिम नामों का शामिल होना गलत नहीं है, क्योंकि भारत में अब भी ४.५ करोड़ मुस्लमान रहते हैं!तब जाकर वे कही सूची के शुद्ध होने के बारे में आश्वस्त हो पाए! उनके लिए ये नयी जानकारी थी!

     ये वक्तव्य दिनांक ३० मार्च १९६४ का है! आज के परिपेक्षय में भी यह पूर्णतय सत्य हैं ! संख्या कुछ अलग है लेकिन सच्चा भारतीय आज भी यही सोच रखता है बस आवश्यकता हैं की इस सत्य को समझने के लिए पहले भारतीय होना आवश्यक है न की हिन्दू और मुस्लमान !

Vishwa Guru Bharat

Lost India: Now days we hear people saying "India has lost its history; nothing can happen to India now”. So for those people I would like to say India is as it is today but Indians have lost their bhartiyata. Today India is respected not Indians. People come to India from all across the world to learn about the great Indian history and its scriptures. But at the same time they don't respect Indians. This is a question to ponder about. Are we westernizing ourselves whereas rest of the world is turning towards Indian culture? Recently I attended a function organized by RSS Guru Pooja where following were discussed: “In Philadelphia there is Liberty Bell which cracked when it was rung for the first time in 1752”. There is a bell in Thanjaur temple, India which is 1000 years old and still ringing. So we need to think when America dint even know about metallurgy India was master in that.  We need to introspect the reason behind America being ahead of India today. Most of the Indians are unaware of Bhagwat Geeta and other scriptures. How can we build a Shrestha Bharat without understanding our great rich history? How come we can build our next generation which respects our country & culture? Aren’t we responsible for this? How many of us today want our kids to do masters in Hindi/Sanskrit? We all are like running on the treadmill of life to match the speed of life otherwise we are sacred that we will fall down. Now it’s up to us to decide if we really want to give same race of life to our next generations or we want them to take India to great heights of recognition and make India Vishwa Guru in true sense by restoring its rich history and knowledge which is on the verge of being lost.  

Are rape cases being politicize ?

Rape in India can be described as one of India's most common crimes against women and by the UN’s human-rights chief as a "national problem". Marital rape in India is not a criminal offence.
Per-capita reported incidents of rape are quite low compared to other developed countries. According to 2012 statistics, New Delhi has the highest number of rape-reports among Indian cities.Sources show that rape cases in India have doubled between 1990 and 2008.

According to the National Crime Records Bureau, in 2012, 25,000 rape cases were reported across India. Out of these, 24,470 were committed by relative or neighbor. Men accounted to commit 98 per cent of reported rapes.The latest estimates suggest that a new case of rape is reported every 22 minutes in India.

So looking at the above statistics are rapes now getting handy for political parties to fulfill their political motives and for media houses to earn TRP. Looking at the sequence of what happened in Badaun Rape/Murder case no one is interested to know or identify the root cause. Is this case an act to get caste based politics back in UP? Is this act intended to scare people those who have not voted for their traditional political parties? I see the outcome of these kind of acts as a caste alignment to their respective traditional political parties because communities are scared and are in search of their survivor. If central govt does not act accordingly it will divide whole India not only UP.

Moreover the need of the hour is to correct the moral imbalance in the society created by caste,religion based vote bank politics. Support for one caste/religion by one party is responsible for all these kinds of brutal inhuman acts. 

I leave this question to everyone to introspect the wrong doings and behave in a manner that the dignity  and respect of women is upheld.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.
