Part 2 is an introducing You to the Play Happy Health Day: The health awareness is the key to the solutions for dissolving conflicts, which seem to create hurdles as the hindrances such that if we cross it, we are going to get any victory. Thanks!
Life Dynamix - My Life Style - Introduction
Our natural world makes a difference in our life if we know how to live naturally. It is frugal living that is most natural. The nature is most frugal and wants us to know how to use its resources in best possible way so that it helps us, is not it. It is my personal story as an Indian naturalist. It also says something that we will share about health care of kids, children and of us in general. Thanks!

How I Produced 2 Videos from Slideshow: Offering Thanksgiving Lord Jesus Christ at Youtube and Metacafe
Producing first video is always a problem, but it is easy. I produced two videos in a day and uploaded at both YouTube and Metacafe. Both gave the best results. The wonder is that I made it from scratch. Yes, from sideshow. Simply saved it as movie and uploaded to the both channels at YouTube and Metacafe. I am glad to share here my Metacafe video that is dedicated to Lord Jesus Christ as a Perfect human, yes the offering of thanksgiving to him as a human. It goes as below saying: It is about how to offer thanks to those, who has served selflessly. Lord Jesus Christ taught humanity the lesson of humbleness and in return we offer thanks. I do so as a human:

How Hinduism is Universal: Facbook Chat Gave 55 Points that Reveal the Spiritual Insight into Indian Religions and Faiths
Image via WikipediaHow Hinduism is Universal: Facbook Chat Gave 55 Points that reveal the spiritual insight into Indian religions and faiths that many people around the world learn to understand and or practice. These 55 points as follows:
1. Namaste means salute to visible form of Invisible (Soul)
2. OM is Invisible form and thus the Main Tat is Truth and it Exits is Sat.
3. We have 5 Tatva but Main Tatva is Invisible that we know as OM. Thanks!
OM is both Main Tatava and Shakti together.
4. What creates these 5 Tatva or Forms is Brahm (God) and thus the Unchangeable Form in it remains as it is.
5. Hari means that takes away all sorrows hidden in 3 Gunas and OM means that in whatever way He needs to do is in OM, yes in its sound, vibrations and waves as it is both sound and particle that light gives.
6. For our young generation there is so much knowledge fed and thus most of them seem to be fed up.
7. So, the knowledgeable need to wait and practice it more because by knowing nothing really happens in our real or practical life..
8. The Sanatan is never influenced or affected. We lack classical arts, music and all that is Sanatan in our daily life and practice it. Even if science proves all of it 100% right and perfect the practice is still the objective.
9. What we lack is Karma+Yoga.
10. We do only Yoga and seem to claim it Karma.
11. When God helps even a child like Dhruva and Prahlad, why do we refrain from daily practice of Nitya Karma.
12. The self-experience, wisdom and true self-understanding comes mainly from Grace not by efforts.
13. Just living in the company of practically wise people gives it all that we need as if the Parshad, the blessings
14. Past life: Past life helps to create the circumstances and if we avail goodness as our learning.
15. The main objective that individually we all need to cultivate is that God does not His part, the Leela and we simply learn not to imitate Him, but follow what we are taught.
16. If we imitate Lord Krishna it is not good, all great ones wish to please him as his Gopis. This Gopi is not just a kind of boy or girl.
17. Mira Ji once said to someone that it was great to see man other than Krishna in Mathura. He rushed to feel sorry as he said he as a man did not wan to see woman when she requested him to meet.
18. In the Gopi devotion, It has nothing to do with physical body as said before.
19. God is Spirit.
20. In devotion we want to feel the devotional feelings so avoid knowledge alone. The knowledge cannot give feelings and the feelings do not need words.
21. Like Lord Krishna says that he dwells in Jaap, In Saam Veda (Source of Music), Jaap is also form of Yoga.
22. When Dropadi asked why Lord Krishna said she was too confident so could not see the Vastar Avtara.
23. When we meditate we are and dwell in the invisible form.
24. However living in this state more than advised harms, it harms health.
25. Human body is form Karma.
26. Mind is for Yoga and thus Body+Mind=Karma+Yoga.
27. When Rishis asked Lord Krishna, he started to cry. He said the learned people would be most insulted and ignored in Kaliyuga. So, we go through phases and now some changes occur that give some worth and status to learned people, so more patience and thus practice is needed rather than suffering. What is the best Saloka in Holy Gita. Rishis told many. When they asked Lord Krishna said it is by Kunti Ji as when she asks for suffering so that she may remember God to rescue her and thus us.
28. We practice to realize what we say is within. When we meditate God also meditates on us.
29. When asked: Whom do you remember Lord Krishna? All those, who remember me. What else do we need!
30. We do not seem to share stories of great people with children and thus what they learn is not something that they can ever forget.
31. This the 30th point is called Sanskara, the way to see and deal the visible and invisible world. The invisible world is inside and the other outside.
32. Inside is Yoga and Outside Karma. We simply need to make it one. What we enjoy as Gopi and Outside all as God is what we also know as Bhakti.
Enjoy Inside.
33. This form of Bhakti (Devotion) is same as Gyana (Knowledge and Wisdom, the Divine Knowledge).
34. German and Europeans used Indian Wisdom, but in many cases wrongly as Hitler created superman theory using Vedas.
35. Vedas teach to be open learner a wise person.
36. The people in the south have vast knowledge about it and they share their books and works in the west but again due to in depth knowledge.
37. We need to allow Bharat Mata to help us by firstly doing ahvahana (inviting the teachings and thus spiritual presence) of great souls. If we do it on our own it will create problems rather than solving. We pray that God shows us the path.
38. Otherwise intellect and knowledge alone are harmful.
39. Thus, the first thing is to respect, honor and worship Indian prophets, gurus, sages, saints, rishis, munis and other noble and great ones.
40. They make and create way as they are doing all that is must. Even Lord Rama and other great ones did it first. They Rishis and Munis did it too giving us all of the Vedic knowledge and wisdom. We do not own it.
41. This is what we need to share.
42. We do not own Indian Knowledge and Wisdom; Nature or Universe owns it.
43. If we do this part of learning, the knowledge spreads without great efforts. Otherwise, lots of hard work as the Pandavs lived in the exile in the Jungles for 12 years until they found the Brahmin.
44. What we are discussing is Divine Wisdom.
45. It cannot be shared without reaching to the level of Divine Student that means becoming receiver not giver.
46. When we practice we teach, when we teach we do not practice. Please do not take my words as rude.
47. If this knowledge is given to those, who do not respect, one takes blame and burden of all the insult that thus occurs.
48. God always helps in a way that pleases Him not always the way we want and thus what is the best for us and it remains a surprise, is not it.
49. One thing is that all world religions, faiths and knowledge and wisdom is same and Hindus discovered it firstly.
50. It was because Indian people happen to be contented and want to do something for nature. Thus, it is not for business but service.
51.Upanishad's tell and explain about all branches of knowledge.
52. We as the Indian People do not even seem to know names of 4 Vedas.
53. A foolish never wants to be corrected and gets angry if one tries to do so.
54. Now, one way or the other we all are foolish, a wise knows how foolish he or she is. This is the difference between foolish and wise, if I know I am foolish I may learn to be wise. If I assume I am wise, stagnation can make me dumb, deaf and blind, not physically but mentally.
55. Wisdom is common sense that we also know as Sixth Sense.
Thanks for your time reading 55 points from Chat on Facebook in which I was blessed enough to give it as answers to a spiritual person wishing to discuss it about two days ago.

What is India
What is India?
About the Book What is India: Most important perhaps is the fact that there is no quarrel between ancient Indian philosophy and modern western science. In fact, as some western scientists quoted by Mr. Gewali have declared, Indian philosophy makes clearer the ideas of Physics. Thus we have the words of W. Heisenberg, “After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense.” Of the ancient Indian texts, the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita have been singled out by the western intellectuals quoted by Mr. Gewali. Thus in the words of Arthur. Schopenhauer, “In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life; and it will be the solace of my death. They are the product of the highest wisdom.”
As to why these western intellectuals express so much awe, notwithstanding their own great accomplishments, can perhaps best be explained in terms of the uncalculated method used by the ancient Hindu sages – a method quite the opposite of that used by western thinkers. Unlike the latter, who use mainly speculative discursive argumentation, the Hindu sages first experienced the loftiest experiences. Only after this direct proof, did they write. There is therefore in their accounts of the divine, an indelible and scintillating stamp of the authentic – a stamp so alluring that foreign intellectuals easily detect in this Hindu wisdom, the highest knowledge of God.
The great love for India, which Mr. Gewali bears, is evident in the care with which he has compiled this work. He has taken care not only to collect quotations on India by source, but to provide us also with valuable biographical information and pictures of the intellectual giants he cites.
I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Salil Gewali for this unique labor of love.
Thanks for your time reading it.

India in the eyes of the western greats by Dr. Deepa Majumdar, Associate Professor, Philosophy, Purdue University North Central, USA
Image via WikipediaEvery nation has its native essence, its unique historical destiny as carved by this essence, and its unique trajectory towards this destiny. At any point in its history, the citizens of a nation will be existentially apart from their nation, for they each have a birth and a death existentially separate from the birth and ongoing life of the nation. Therefore no citizen can, rationally speaking, claim in essence to belong wholly to any particular nationality. Much as we may love India, no Indian citizen can claim to be essentially Indian. We are each essentially human, and incidentally, by circumstance of birth, citizens of India.
Nevertheless, citizens define their nations and contribute to its ever living history. To do this consciously is far more effective than to do this out of blind patriotism. Inasmuch as our colonial wound is yet to be fully healed, the temptation towards blind patriotism is great indeed – all the more, given the uniquely marvelous history of India. The solution lies not in avoiding patriotism, but in engaging in this love for nation in the most circumspect way possible, with our focus wholly on the heart of our ancient civilization.
More than ever before, it is now that we need patriotism to fight the biggest temptation India has ever faced in her chequered history -- namely the temptation of mammon through the unguarded onslaught of capitalism. Since we may not yet be self-conscious enough to comprehend our own exceptionalism, to be articulated realistically and without egotism, we have no choice but to depend on the accolades heaped upon India by the intellectual giants of the western world, some of them from nations that were former colonizers.
Today, the greatest danger faced by a poor “third world” country, when confronted with westernization (understood as capitalism, science, and technology), is the terrible loss in wisdom (and the concomitant anguish) that comes as the inevitable price to be paid for the “benefit” of rank materialism. Whether or not a nation falls into this trap of materialism depends again on its inborn acumen and native telos. In the case of India, this immortal telos was declared by revered Swami Vivekananda to be entirely spiritual and mystical.
We are, in essence, not militaristic. Nor are we, in essence, commercial. Our unique heritage, bequeathed by generations of sages, is that which mammon can never destroy, nor money ever purchase ... namely, divine wisdom with a total focus on attaining the mystical state of nirvanic enlightenment. Yes post-independent India has shown few signs of such spirituality. She has fallen far from the Gandhian ideals of non-violence and tolerance.
She has surged towards capitalism with a ruthless greed. But what we see so far is perhaps only the short run. Before she turns around to her own native telos, like any other nation, India has to make her own mistakes. This makes it all the more imperative that we Indians remain keenly circumspect about our unique history.
It is in the light of this background that I appreciate all the more, Mr. Salil Gewali’s unique anthology of original quotations on India, collected painstakingly from some of the greatest intellectual giants from the west. Titled, What is India: Know the answer from the world renowned intellectual giants, this illustrated work, published by Academic Publications, is, I suggest, all the more welcome and necessary at this phase of India’s history. If we are to overcome not only external dangers like post-colonialism and capitalism, but also internal dangers like caste prejudices and the oppression of women --- if we are to fight the greatest danger of our times – namely the danger of rank cynicism --- we must return to the mystical pinnacle of our civilization to understand our uniqueness.
For India stands alone among the nations of the world in having made the direct empirical experience of God realization the heart, hallmark, and principle acumen of her unique historical journey. Where others explored the arts and sciences, or wrote elaborate intellectual theologies, India charted the science of mysticism aimed at the direct, unequivocal realization of God. It is from this fountainhead of God inspired experience that Hindu wisdom draws its power.
In this work, Mr. Gewali includes quotations from credible intellectual giants like T. S. Eliot, A. Einstein, W. Heisenberg, J. R. Oppenheimer, F. M. Voltaire, Mark Twain, R.W. Emerson, and A. Schopenhauer, among others. All these quotations express awe for ancient Hindu wisdom, often seen as the cradle of European knowledge – that very knowledge that was foisted on India through colonialism. Some of these western intellectuals are humble enough to openly acknowledge the far greater maturity of Indian thought compared to European philosophy. Thus, if we have at one extreme, the poet T. S. Eliot saying, “Indian philosophers’ subtleties make most of the great European philosophers look like schoolboys,” then we have at the other extreme, the scientist A. Einstein saying, “We owe a lot to Indians who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.”
Most important perhaps is the fact that there is no quarrel between ancient Indian philosophy and modern western science. In fact, as some western scientists quoted by Mr. Gewali have declared, Indian philosophy makes clearer the ideas of Physics. Thus we have the words of W. Heisenberg, “After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense.” Of the ancient Indian texts, the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita have been singled out by the western intellectuals quoted by Mr. Gewali. Thus in the words of Arthur. Schopenhauer, “In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life; and it will be the solace of my death. They are the product of the highest wisdom.”
As to why these western intellectuals express so much awe, notwithstanding their own great accomplishments, can perhaps best be explained in terms of the uncalculated method used by the ancient Hindu sages – a method quite the opposite of that used by western thinkers. Unlike the latter, who use mainly speculative discursive argumentation, the Hindu sages first experienced the loftiest experiences. Only after this direct proof, did they write.

How Sikhs Were Divided as Two: Rule and Service Lovers - Sikh Gurus and Gurbani
Image via WikipediaHow and why Sikh Gurus have been putting behind the curtains by raisng new heroes is a one of the major questions. We notice in Punjab that Saint Jarnail Singh, Bhagat Singh, Banda Singh Bahadur and lot many others are getting all fame. Their projection goes as religious, political, spiritual, reformists and all that they did. It gives most of the youth imitate them without ever reading about what Sikhism, Gurus and Bhakats have been.
It seems the clans have developed to sharp edges and seem to claim as if the founders of Sikhism even though Sikhism not at all endorses the cast or clan system.
Most of the problems that Sikhs face seem to having its roots in the agriculture and farming. Anyone belonging to farmers clans or casts have two main advantages in Sikhism:
1. Sikh is a Saint: So, anyone can assume to be a saint
2. Sikh is a Soldier: So, anyone can assume to do all anti-social works by violence and yet claim a great solider and saint.
If something is left it is matter of purity of heart. This is what we know as Khalsa, the one, who is pure in heart. So, many associate the word Khalsa after their name Singh or Kaur.
Thus, Sikhism seem to be misused as being Saint, Soldier and Pure person without doing anything. It has thus corrupted the politics, religious practices and other social morals and values.
For example, the Sikhs has never wanted to rule the nation or world, but during the Era of Ignoring Sikh Gurus and teachings the caste and clan system has developed a socio-religious groups. Almost all seem to equate to be gurus.
This very broadminded Philosophy of Sikhism seem to have had opened the rooms for communism. It is very difficult when we consider a communist and a Sikh as both are similar in many ways. The communists usually project Sikhs as communists in so many ways as Saint (Philosopher and Thinker), Soldier (Armed Persons) and boosting all of it as Pure People (the Khalsa).
Whether it is 5 Year Planning System or the National Level Emergency in India in 1977 and the the Operation Blue Star in 1984 was developed theory of propagation of communism in the minds of Sikhs that had already put Sikhs in great difficulties even before the dawn of the Sikhism as discussed below:
"Bhai Mani Singh appointed as Arbitrator: Mata Sundari, the widow of Guru Gobind, came to learn of the trouble brewing between the two military factions at Amritsar. She appointed Bhai Mani Singh as the Granthi of the Harimandir and sent him to Amritsar with Kirpal Singh (Chand), the maternal uncle of Guru Gobind Singh to resolve the feud. The choice on Bhai Mani Singh seems to have fallen for intrinsic reasons also since Bhai Mani Singh, like Baba Baba Amar Singh was of Kamboj lineage and it was therefore hoped that he could better convince Baba Amar Singh and bring him to concilliation in the broader interests of the Khalsa Panth.
The feud resolved but......
After assuming office of the Head-Granthi in 1721, Bhai Mani Singh sent invitations to both parties to assemble on the Vaisakhi occasion. Both factions again met at Amritsar in compliance of the invitation from Bhai Mani Singh but with all the malice in their minds set against each other. At Amritsar, the Tat Khalsa took unilateral control of the Akal Bunga while the Jhanda Bunga was taken over by the Bandai Khalsa led by Baba Amar Singh.
Using a simplistic but well-intentioned procedure, Bhai Mani Singh was finally able to resolve the feud and restore peace among the warring factions and put the affairs of the Darbar Sahib in order in 1722. The final decision was that the Tat Khalsa was declared the genuine successor to Guru Gobind Singh and the Harimandir Sahib. " (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Amar_Singh_Nibber)

Tat Khalsa was originated on 2nd October 1879: http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Tat_Khalsa
Banda Bahadur = Guru Gobind Singh?: http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/hard-talk/22605-banda-bahadur-guru-gobind-singh-2.html
The communism along with imperialism looked for any conflicts and used it. There is a point that when British Imperialism was decline in England Karl Marx was developing Marxism (Source: http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2006/05/10/did-karl-marx-endorse-imperialism/). Now, we have more divisions based on almost all categories of human race and thus Global Imperialism, the New World Order. It is already going on and thus being aware makes a difference rather than living in darkness as if an ignorant.
The Sikh Gurus, Bhakats (or Bhagats), Gurbani and thus Shri Guru Granth Sahib does not teach it. Let us not forget what Sikh Gurus have taught us.
Thanks for your time reading it.
