ഒരു പക്ഷെ ലോകത്തിൽ ഏറ്റവും അധികം രാഷ്ട്രീയ കൂടുമാറ്റം നടക്കുന്ന രാജ്യം നമ്മുടെ ഇന്ത്യ തന്നെ ആയിരിക്കും. അതിനു കാരണം നമ്മുടെ രാഷ്ട്രീയ നേതാക്കളിൽ പലരുo രാഷ്ട്രീയ തത്വ ശാസ്ത്രസങ്ങൾക്കും  ജനങ്ങളുടെ ഉന്നമനങ്ങൾക്കും ഉപരിയായി സ്വന്തം നേട്ടങ്ങളിൽ കൂടുതൽ താല്പര്യമുള്ളവർ ആയതു കൊണ്ടാണ്. ഇത്തരം ദുരാഗ്രഹികൾ മൂലം ജനങ്ങൾ തെരഞ്ഞെടുത്ത ധാരാളം സർക്കാരുകൾ കാലാവധി തീരുന്നതിനു മുൻപ് താഴെ വീണിട്ടുണ്ട്. കേവലം ഒന്നോ രണ്ടോ പേരുടെ അധികാര മോഹം കൊണ്ടോ, ധനത്തിനോടുള്ള അത്യാർത്ഥി കൊണ്ടോ ജനങ്ങളെ വിഡ്ഢികളാക്കി തെരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പിലേക്കു തള്ളി വീട്ടിട്ടില്ലേ? എന്നാൽ ഇതിനൊക്കെ കാരണക്കാർ നമ്മൾ ജനങ്ങൾ മാത്രമാണ്. ഇതു നമ്മൾ തന്നെ തടയണം. ഇതിന് ഒരു വഴിയെയുള്ളൂ. പാർലമെന്റ് ഒരു നിയമം ഉണ്ടാക്കുക. ഏതെങ്കിലും രാഷ്ട്രീയ പാർട്ടി വിട്ടു പോകുന്നു വ്യക്തി ഒരു കാരണവശാലും തുടർന്നു വരുന്ന മൂന്നു വർഷത്തേക്ക് യാതൊരു അധികാര സ്ഥാനങ്ങൾ വഹിക്കാനോ തെരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പിൽ മത്സരിക്കാനോ സാധ്യമല്ലാതാ കണം. ജനങ്ങൾ കൂട്ടായി പ്രവർത്തിക്കുക മാത്രമേ ഇതിനു ഒരു പരിഹാരമയിയുള്ളു.

അയോധ്യയിൽ ഇപ്പോൾ പ്രധാനമന്ത്രിയുടെ നേതൃത്വ ത്തിൽ നടന്ന ശ്രീ റാം ലല്ലാ പ്രതിഷ്ടാ കർമ്മം രാജ്യമാകെ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കപ്പെട്ടു. ഇതിനു പകരം ഈ കർമ്മം ഹൈന്ദവാചാര പ്രകാരം പുരോഹിതരാൽ നിർവഹിക്കപ്പെടുകയായി രുന്നുവെങ്കിൽ എന്തു സംഭവി ക്കുമായിരുന്നു? ഒന്നും പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് സംഭവിക്കണമെ ന്നില്ല. ഇതു ഒരു സാധാരണ ഹൈന്ദവ ആചാരമായി കണ്ട് ഹൈന്ദവർ ഇതിൽ പങ്കെടുക്കു മായിരുന്നു. ബഹു: പ്രധാനമന്ത്രി ഇതിൽ പങ്കെടുത്തതോടു കൂടി ഇതൊരു ദേശീയ ആഘോഷമായി മാറുകയും, ഇതിനൊരു രാഷ്ട്രീയ നിറം പകരുകയും ചെയ്തു. ഹൈന്ദവ വിശ്വാസമനുസരിച്ചു മഹാവിഷ്ണുവിന്റെ ദശാവതാ രങ്ങളിൽ ഒന്നാണ് ശ്രീ രാമൻ. ലോകത്തിൽ അധർമത്തിന്റെ യും, ദുഷ്ടതയുടെയും, നാശത്തിന്റെയും ശക്തികൾ വർദ്ധിക്കുമ്പോൾ അവയിൽ നിന്നും ധാർമികമൂല്യങ്ങൾ സംരക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിനാണു അവതാരങ്ങൾ രൂപമെ ടുക്കുന്നത്. ഇങ്ങനെ രൂപമെ ടുക്കുന്ന ദൈവാവതാരങ്ങൾ സർവ്വ ലോകത്തിന്റെയും സർവ്വ ചരാചരങ്ങളുടെയും ദൈവമല്ലേ? സർവ്വ മനുഷ്യരെ യും നിലനിർത്തുന്ന ഈ ദൈവം ഹിന്ദുവിനെയും ക്രിസ്ത്യാനിയെയും വേറിട്ടു കാണുമോ? എല്ലാ പ്രാർത്ഥനകളും ആരാധന കളും ഒരേ സന്നിധിയിൽ തന്നെയല്ലേ എത്തിച്ചേരുന്നതുo. അങ്ങനെ യെങ്കി

Top - Kalaram temple, Nashik, Maharashtra Middle - Thriprayar Sri Ram temple, Kerala Bottom - Ram Mandir, Bhubaneswar, Odisha    These three subjects have created lot of problems and taken countless number of lives across the world. While the prime subject God is something beyond human brain. Most of us fail to understand that truth. Some people have some scattered thoughts about God and such ones are creating confusion in simple human minds. Hinduism and Christianity say that God Himself have appeared first and from Him everything else came into being. The Big Bang theory of the modern science also suggests that a tiny particle came into being first and from that all space, time and matter came into being. Since all these three suggest same thing about the beginning it can be safely concluded that all those in the universe have come into existence from God. In other words all these are in the universe is God Himself. Whether it is sun, moon, earth,

Here it is about a wealthy one who is too complex in nature, ignorant, has nothing other than wealth, that too in huge amount. This one brought himself to a level that he is superior than those around him. Because of this huge wealth, highly educated people shown their respect to this person.

Well placed people allowed this one to mingle with them in social gatherings considering his huge wealth. This made him to pick any seat, anywhere and at any time. In public functions, where this person is invited, generally pick up the microphone and start delivering speeches, with the feeling that he is a scholar in the matter and others do nothing about it.  And the one keep talking all ridiculous things. We may find many such people around us. They do not know who they are and what they are. They are fools and foolishness always
