"LOKA SAMASTHA 'DUHKHINAH' BHAVANTU"

While many believe that this mantra; "Lokah Ssmastah Sukhino Bhavantu" is from Rigveda it seems to be found from a stone inscription of the Sangama Dynasty (1336 AD - 1485 AD). This mantra appears to be the master piece of every Indian's outlook towards the rest of the world. Of course there may be some sections of people wish from their hearts this mantra, many modern Indians do not like to chant this for the comfort of the world, especially the people of Kerala. Malayalees must be the sole community in the world who find joy from the fall of his neighbour. There are many such negative things make these Super Malayalees happy. These extra ordinary humans love only themselves and their family members. Other than those if anyone is found progressing economically or earn some name and fame it would be difficult for these Malayalees to tolerate it. If a Malayali prays for his well being he will certainly find time to pray for the collapse of his neighbour too. In...

WE INDIANS 'KNOW' ALL ABOUT GOD

Image
Generally all humans across the world boast that they know all about God. Irrespective of the religious faith man of all religions argue that their God is the original or the right One. Though no one knows about one's own body they say they know all about the Creator of all human and all other life forms and nonliving things and as many number of the whole unknown universe. Human brain is said to have the maximum storage capacity of about 300 years of video cassette recordings. If we say we know the God well we are just limiting the God within our brain capacity. Religiously most apt definition of God is Thathwamasi. Meaning of this is "You are that" or "That is you."' This term originated from Chandogya Upanishad. It appears in a dialogue between Uddalaka and his son Svetaketu. This term has however scientific relevance it seems. As per Big Bang theory the universe with all those contains came into existence from the explosion of a tiny particle...

CAN WE REFINE THE DEMOCRACY?

Image
In Indian democracy, the people are nothing but mere voting machines. People have no role to play other than casting the vote once in every five years. What is prevailing in India is something like political monarchy. The political parties in power become unchallengeable. And that must be the reason for corruption become rampant here. Indian money is reported to have pumped out by the corrupt to other countries. All said and done, people have lost confidence in our political parties. However people still have trust in judiciary. It is suggested, therefore, that the judiciary may involve themselves to refine the democracy. If we take a close look at the legislative and executive functioning in different states, we can find shoddy and below average behaviour by the 'democratically' elected members. Even violent activities including destruction could be witnessed in the legislative assembly. What is suggested here is that, the most trusted part of the Indian Democracy,...

Image
This photo does not confirm the reported attack with the nailed lathis  Media have extensively reported about the devil's cruelty shown on our young children who protested in large numbers on their educational matters. It was specifically highlighted that some extremely cruel politicians attacked the children with nailed lathis. They   attacked the children probably for dispersing them from there. They hit them on their heads with nailed lathis, it was reported. Since this brutal act is not done by the uniformed police officials, this cannot be expected to have committed as per the orders of the concerned government departments. Over and above everything it cannot be even imagined that such action is taken by a  government that represent 1.5 billion people. It is now the exclusive duty of the opposition political parties to enquire properly to find the one who ordered this inhumane and barbaric act against our own children, if it is a fact.
