CAN GOD BE CONTAINED IN HUMAN BRAIN?

Image
Answer to the question 'Can God be contained in human brain?' is undoubtedly a straight 'No'. According to scientific estimation the distance of the universe from one end to the other is 93 billion light years. Can we conceive this distance in our minds? Absolutely not. And there can be countless number of universe like ours. And the Creator of all these and the One who manages all these must be beyond time, space and matter. We cannot gather these to our minds in our wildest imagination! While this remains the fact, there are 'superior humans' who know all about God. His shape, sound, reach, relations etc are known to these priesthood. However, surprisingly they do not have any knowledge about the human beings on the earth. They know what please, anger and make Him sad. They may even say who are the father and mother of God. This is a system called religion. It has its own rules and regulations to be followed compulsorily by all members. Any breach ...

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t...

ELECTRIC CARS - CAN INDIA FEED THE WORLD?

Image
Requirements of electric cars all over the world is shooting up. Global use of EVs is estimated to grow up from 10% in 2021 to 25% in 2025. The requirement of EVs in US is estimated to be 26.7 millions by 2030. There will be considerable demand for EVs in third world countries too. Why India cannot make use of  this  bright opportunities ahead? We have no dearth of technology in automobile manufacturing. We have no dearth of resources or skilled manpower either. Then what we are waiting for? As per reports we have recently found a huge availability of lithium in Rajasthan. In February  2023 Geological Survey of India have located 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. Lithium reserves also have been discovered in Jharkhand. All these findings put together makes India the seventh largest resources of lithium in the world. Deploy our resources including the huge man power for manufacturing of electric vehicles for our internal use ...

SAFETY OF WOMEN AND THE NARCOTICS SPREAD IN INDIA

Image
According to 'Women, Peace and Security Index 2021', India ranks 148 out 170 countries in the world in safety of women. In 2019 it was 133 out of 167. As per NCRB data of 2021 India registered 86 rape cases daily and 49 cases of crime against women every hour. The report further reveals that while 3,71,503 cases of crime against women reported in 2020, it became 4,28,278 with a 15.3% increase in 2021. Crime against women in Kerala are given below: 2017 - 14,263 2018 - 13,643 2019 - 14,293 2020 - 12,659 2021 - 16,418 2022 - 10,932 Narcotics might be having a significant role in crime against women. Hence it goes to the police and excise departments other than the government to ward off the menace from the country. School teachers and religious leaders role to prevent narcotics from the society can have unbelievable results. Others who are responsible for the pitiful condition of women in our country are the educationalists, sociologists, religious leaders, politician...

SHALL WE EVER HAVE PEACE?

Image
Before answering the question, 'shall we ever have peace?', we must know what is peace. The outcome of our efforts yield us contentment. When we are fully contented with our efforts we become happy. When this happiness mount we become peaceful. Peace is a state of mind that most of us have not enjoyed. We do not get peace because we are always pushed away from acquiring it by our fellow men and the materials around. We are normally more concerned about unearned things than those earned by us. We set our targets to things that are away from us. We keep endeavouring to acquire those. In most cases we do not get contented with these efforts and get despaired. In fact when we have more things we get less peace and when we have less things we have more peace. Finally when we have nothing we become peaceful. This must be the reason that we do not have peace. Above all peace is the one that we can carry from this world when we return. Peace is the one that we can buy too. ...

REAL AND IMAGINARY LITERACY

Image
As  per the available data the current (2023) literacy rate of India is 77.70% . Among the states Kerala holds the top position with 94%. While going through the ratings of education given by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) based on graduation or post graduation or professional courses within the age group between 25 and 64 years among the population the top ten countries with their ratings are given below. Canada 56.27% Japan 50.50% Israel 49.90% S. Korea 46.86% UK 45.96% USA 45.67% Australia 43.74% Finland 43.60% Norway 43.02% Luxembourg 42.86% As per the survey by another agency India ranks 72 in the world in education. However  as shown above we rated ourselves high in literacy. Since our own literacy rating is either imaginary or mythical, this cannot be compared with the ratings of advanced countries. We may, therefore, restructure our literacy ratings gradually to much higher level. At present the standard set for literacy se...

SYRO MALABAR CHURCH IS HEADING TO A SPLIT ?

Image
(St Thomas Major Archiepiscopal Church in Palayur. This is one of the seven Churches founded by the Apostle St Thomas in  AD 52. (Image courtesy, Wikipedia) The matter which was confined within the Church for sometime has been now taken over by the police and the press. I, therefore, dare to talk the matter in public. This is meant to have the attention of the entire hierarchy of the Church. I would like to believe that as  true disciples of Jesus Christ they may honestly find ways and means to get over the present dilemma. While getting into the issue, we may find that the present controversy has surfaced consequent upon the decision for a uniform celebration of the Holy Mass. According to this the priest celebrating the Holy Mass will face the faithful at the beginning and end of the Mass and the rest of the time he may face the Altar. In the light of the Holy Bible it can be neither said good nor bad. But the matter that worsen the situation is the urgency shown...

WALKING BAREFOOT HAVE GOOD LOT OF GAINS

Image
We may find that people lived in sometime in 1960/1950 and before had comparatively less ill health than people who lived later. There may be something to compare with the people of today. They were eating natural food items grown and cooked by themselves. Today we eat a good amount of contaminated packed food. The vegetables and fruits of those days were very clean, but what we get today is with high quantity of dangerous insecticides used fruits and vegetables. A very harmful quantity of destructive chemicals are used by us from food alone. Fish, chicken, egg etc are also said to be harmful to health. Over and above all these there are polluted air and water to damage our health. May be due to lack of intimacy with our mother earth we are not able to push out the negative energy in us. And this must be the answer to the better health conditions of the people of the pre sixty period.  The significant difference between the people of the pre 1960 period and those of tod...

LINCOLN AND KENNEDY A COMPARISON AND THE HIDDEN DIVINE MATHMATICS

Image
If we closely look at many things that take place around us we can find that many things or, may be everything happens in the world are in a given order. Whether it is the journey of our earth around the sun at such accuracy or falling of the leaves from the trees or the annual human death rate around the world, we may be able to find some super intelligence behind all these actions. Over and above these while comparing the life of two people of different times, we may be able to find some amazing resemblance. Each human ever born on this earth, right from the date and time and location of birth, name, parents, siblings, children, profession, friends etc etc are not our choice but are done under some commands or some law. The resemblance in various aspects of lives of two eminent personalities lived in USA in different times are analysed below. They are former American Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Let us now look at the similarities. 1. Both n...

SHEER IMAGINATION

Image
Who are you? No one can give the right answer to this question. Instead of answering this question one may comment on others like this; 'he is bad', 'he is useless' etc. With what knowledge and under what authority one makes such comments? He himself cannot answer.                   ************* There they identified a big black rock. They brought a good sculptor to carve an idol for the temple. He carved the rock into the desired shape and placed in the temple for worship. Then some of the remaining rock was cut into shape as foot steps at the entrance of the temple. The remaining rock was used to make a public toilet in the temple. It is the part of the same single rock that is placed for three different purposes. We too are like the same. One may be a ruler of a country, other may be a scavenger or a trader or police man or a thief or with umpteen other brands name.                 ...

CAN WE EVER IMAGINE TO BE ONE AMONGST THEM!

Image
The following countries are beyond reachable level for we Indians. Our political leaders, without any reluctance, go to the extent of promulgating our achievements. Now, let us compare those 'would be' achievements with the realities in many countries in the world. Let us think whether we can ever reach those. Highest GDP per capita income:  Luxembourg has the highest GDP per capita income in the world $1,28,820 (Rs 1,04,34,420) One crore four lakhs thirty four thousand four hundred twenty rupees per capita income for we Indians can only be possible in dreams. Lowest poverty: Iceland  has the lowest poverty rate in the world. In 2017 it reached 0% and in 2021 it came upto 4.9% India ranks 111 out of 125 in Global Hunger Index 2023. No crime and no cops Netherlands is a country unimaginable for we Indians.  There are no cops, no jail and no jail staff because there are no crimes and no prisoners. On 31.12. 2021 there were 5,54,034 prisoners in India. We have 13...

GOD IS THE ONE MOST MISINTERPRETED

Image
    In  order to learn more about plants, one goes to the teachers of Botany, for machinary to the Mechanical Engineers and to know about our own body, we go to the appropriate Doctors. Surprisingly, to learn about the Almighty God, the Creator of everything in this universe we go generally to an illiterate or an unconcerned person. Most of us do not know much about a mosquito or an ant. Many of us do not know about our own body system. Highly qualified Psychologists and Neuroscientists cannot say much about human mind. Despite these facts, when it comes to God, anyone may speak everything about God, as if they know all about God. It is because God is so simple for them. For those, religion is the science of God. In modern India, those who have political status is considered as the authorised one to speak about God and religion. We Indians have a treasure of knowledge stored in the four Vedas and the ten principal Upanishads from the 108 books. These great boo...

LITERACY RATE IN INDIA

Image
          (Image courtesy -                  Dreamstime.  com) Literacy rate of India in 2022 is said to be 77.7% whereas it is 96.2% in Kerala. We may try to find the truth behind these claims. As per the census records of 2011 graduates in India is a mere 8.15% (98.6 million) Countries with highest literacy in the world are Lithuania (99.82), Tajikistan (99.80) and Azerbaijan (99.79) Though the rate of literacy looks to be slightly above the rate of literacy in Kerala, the faculties between them are considerably different. While our standard of literacy is just reading and writing of one's name, theirs are far superior. We must immediately come out of the present idiotic concept of literacy rating and should recast the literacy standard. Currently the literacy standard in India is that of the LKG. Every two years we must upgrade it, i.e. after two years we must fix it to UKG and then to class 1, 2, ...

FINDING FAULT IN OTHERS

Image
(Image courtesy - Pinterest) According to Hinduism one is rewarded or punished as per his deeds in this life. In any faith, one needs a physical body and senses either to suffer the punishment or enjoy the reward. As such punishments and rewards given in this very world either in this life or in a life after this. In the Bible, according to Mathew 7:1 it is said, "Do not judge, so that you may not be judged." It is like this. We misbehave with other one and hurt him much. But God do not punish us instantly. The Merciful One give us oppertunity to repent on our doing. However, during this time we find one misbehave with our close one. And he happily moves around. We then tell God, "Look at him , Oh God! After hurting my people you are allowing him to live happily. Why don't you punish him?" In this instance, we get our punishment instantly for our earlier similar doings, because we are telling God that misbehaviour deserve instant punishment. The Supr...

GHOST IN THE BAR AND SHIVERING WITNESSES

Image
Blue  House Pub in Sunderland Hendon, London is a 167 years old Bar in England. Abnormal visitors are coming here for quite sometime. Recently the owner of the bar Darla Anderson, the service bobyys and the customers present there had a shivering surprise. A machine is installed there for filling beer in the glass. When asked  the customer, the service boy pick the glass, place in the filling spot and put the switch on and fill the glass. Contrary to this, a few days back, when a customer asked for beer, the glass moved self to the filling point and got the beer fillled without anyone's help. Similar incident took place 20 years back when the present owner's aunty was running the pub. A few days back a spiritualist came to the bar and said that he felt the presence of a spirit there. The former owner also says that he too had such experience a few times. In his time the glasses were moving by itself and falling down to the floor and broken. In the absence of any cc...

LET US INTERNATIONALISE INDIAN RUPEE

Image
Exchange rate in 1947 was 1 rupee = 1 US Dollar. Since then though it never gone to that level, both remained in close range.  However since the devaluation of Indian rupee in 1992 it kept falling continuously. Today's exchange rate is 1 US$ = Rs 81.96 Now, Indian economy is fairly doing well but our rupee is not picking up at that level. On the other hand, while US economy is not making any quantum leap the exchange rates of USD is keep mounting versus almost all other currencies. It is because of its demands world over. Currency exchange rate is decided like the price of essential commodities under demand and supply theory. If Rupee can reach more heights that will reduce the dependency on the dollar considerably and on the other hand it will provide us better bargaining power.  When this can reduce the cost of export and bring in more earning from international trade. Since this can appreciate the demand of rupee there will be less risk of purchase price of good...

Just think about While arriving at a new country we all know where from and what for we have come. But when reaching this world we do not have these information. à´’à´¨്à´¨ു à´šിà´¨്à´¤ിà´š്à´šു à´¨ോà´•്à´•ൂ നമ്മൾ à´’à´°ു à´ªുà´¤ിà´¯ à´°ാà´œ്യത്à´¤ു വരുà´®്à´ªോൾ  നമുà´•്à´•à´±ിà´¯ാà´µുà´¨്à´¨ à´•ാà´°്യങ്ങളാà´£് à´Žà´µിà´Ÿുà´¨്à´¨ു വന്à´¨െà´¨്à´¨ും à´Žà´¨്à´¤ിà´¨ു വന്à´¨െà´¨്à´¨ുà´®ുà´³്ളത്. à´Žà´¨്à´¨ാൽ à´¨ാം à´ˆ à´­ൂà´®ിà´¯ിൽ വരുà´®്à´ªോൾ ഇതൊà´¨്à´¨ും നമുà´•്à´•ു à´…à´±ിà´ž്à´žുà´•ൂà´Ÿാ.

WANT PETROL @ Rs 02.12 per Litre?

Image
        Oil field in Venezuela  According to available information the average price of Petrol in 2024 in Venezuela is 2 Pence (GBP). This South American country has the lowest price for petrol in the world. The last  reported price was Rs 02 12 in Indian currency. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. The government is also giving huge subsidies to oil. However due to sanction imposed by America and some other countries in 2005 they could not sell oil in the world market. Consequent upon lifting certain sanction in the oil sector India made huge buying from Venezuela from December 2023. Surprisingly this could not make any positive impact in prices in the retail market of our country. As per available information Reliance Industries have received approval to buy oil from Venezuela. A group of Indian youth who can afford to raise funds may think in this direction. They may take necessary approval from Government of India as well a...

INDIAN MILLIONAIRES ARE LEAVING INDIA

Image
   (Image courtesy to Unsplash) India has witnessed 7,500 rich Indians leaving the country in 2022. According to Henley Private Wealth Migration Report (2023) India is expected to witness a net outflow of 6,500 ultra-rich. These ultra-rich is High Net-Worth Individuals (HNWI) who have an investable wealth of US$1 million or more (Rs 8.2 crores at current rate). The outflow of 2023 will make India the second worst performer in losing HNWIs after China. The top five destinations projected for these outflow in 2023 will be Australia, Singapore, UAE, USA and Switzerland. The largest expected outflow of these millionaires are from China, India, UK, Russia and Brazil. India was among the ten richest countries in 2022 with the population of HNWIs. India has 3,44,600 HNWIs, 1,078 centi-millionaires (those with wealth exceeding $100 millions), 123 billionaires (those with wealth exceeding $1 billion or  Rs 8,200 crores). China has 7,80,000 HNWIs and 285 billionaires. U...

THERE IS ONLY ONE MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

Image
All  put together, there is only one man in the world, taking all living and dead. It is neither a fantasy nor an imagination but a truth. According to Hinduism sage Manu was the first man came into this world. Matsya Purana says that Lord Brahma had union with Goddess Shatrupa (Saraswati) and out of the union of them Manu was born. And he is believed to be the first man created on earth as per Hinduism. As per Old Testament, God created the first man on earth was Adam.  "And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and He breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul " (Genesis 2:7).  "... And he called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." (Genesis 5:2) Modern science says something totally different about the formation of the world and whatever in it. The universe began as just a single point, then it is expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now, and it is still stretching. Duri...

CAN YOU LOVE ANYONE?

Image
Many people may come up with a positive answer to this question, but I feel hardly anyone can love others. Love is something that is to give only, not to expect anything back; even love. Normally our love for any person contains at least an element of selfishness, greed or ego. Can we love someone who is abusing us with filthy language or one who is severely beating us? I don't think that we can love such a person. Hence our love become conditional. We may act as loving them back to those who are acting as loving us. Love is divine. God alone can love all of us unconditionally. Despite our incapability, if we realise the truth and pray the Supreme One, He may help us to have genuine and everlasting love. K V George  

PRESENT INDIA minus POLITICS minus RELIGION = PROSPEROUS AND PEACEFUL INDIA

Image
According to PEW Research Centre, using  data has estimated that in 2021 there were  134 million people in India had income of $2 or below per day. Another report by Sr Sai Manish of Business Standard updated on April 17, 2020 stated that as per the World Bank bench mark of poverty line $3.2 per day, 60% of Indian population or 812 million people are below poverty line in India. If these figures are right, the so called poor have only one question to ask to the governments one after the other. "Why we are not given opportunity to work and earn for our food and wellbeing?" Every successive government that ruled the country right from independence, except the first four or five governments, is bound to answer this question. Despite having adequate resources to feed them stomach full, leaving them hungry is serious error by our rulers one after the other. Instead of rectifying the errors we only try to find the faults of the earlier government...
