How Hinduism is Universal: Facbook Chat Gave 55 Points that Reveal the Spiritual Insight into Indian Religions and Faiths

A portrayal of Vyasa, who is revered by Hindus...Image via Wikipedia













How 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

Three translations: Bhagavad Gita As It Is, a ...Image via Wikipedia









Every 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. 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.

How Sikhs Were Divided as Two: Rule and Service Lovers - Sikh Gurus and Gurbani

Sikh pilgrim at the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Te...Image via Wikipedia











How 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)

More readings: The difference between tat khalsa and bandai khalsa:

http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?/topic/21189-difference-between-tat-khalsa-and-bandai-khalsa/

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.

How 13 and 666 are not Bad or Evil when we want to be creative contributors but never the mind controlled contributors

Main regions of the vertebrate brain, shown fo...Image via Wikipedia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 616 as 13 is the best option if we choose to have self-control and discipline rather than being conditioned with controversial and conflicting structure of programing for our brains with the brain or mind control as 18 (666)

If the seekers of welfare of all are so serious about world it is a must read. We talk, study, teach, share and preach a lot about how better world can be created with controlled conditions as if patients in Intensive Care Units (ICU). The conditioning is better than brain control as without brain control all can be creative contributors rather than conditioned contributors.

If we think that there are some people, who are thinking for us, we are as wrong as if one waits for return of the dead husband from the sea. We do not seem to make any efforts for self-control and thus has arrived where we always have been arriving, the brain control, mental setup as if we, the humans are robots and conditioning of programming is facility.

Why brain or mind control is worse than curse, to learn it, please read it. Thanks for your time for self-disciple to control yourself as the master of the body and mind!

Why should we be afraid of 666, the NWO or 13, the Number of Power?

New World Order adds to 666 as it is NWO means 18 the strongest number for all conflicts related to money and moral. 666 adds as 18 without being compound number. Thus, we may have some better life if we choose 1 for moral and 6 for Venus, the money and replace 666 by 616 that adds to 13, the Proper Use of Power and Authority lest it leads to self-destruction. The number 13 is the best number but only if used wisely.

Well, never mind www is also adds to 666 and it is misuse not blaming science and technology. Controlling cheating and spam differs from simply saying that 666 is symbol of Antichrist as adding to 18 and then adding to as a single number 9 for Mars as said for Wars rather than Discipline and Duty.

The 616 as 13 is the best option if we choose to have self-control and discipline rather than being conditioned with controversial and conflicting structure of programing for our brains with the brain or mind control as 18 (666).

Please read more with thanks from the source with the bookmark: http://www.xomba.com/do_you_want_be_creative_contributor_or_mind_controlled_contributor 


Taking it easy just when the bookmark is just a click away, no anger please it is also 666, the 9. Lol

How Human and Indian Civilization has Faced and Managed Revolutions that Harmed Nature: Individual, Society, Nature and Civilizations Work Together

The Earth flag is not an official flag, since ...Image via Wikipedia









With few words about Western Culture, I would add that even in Eastern Culture, there is no significant difference of choice and choosing whether one wants to drink, smoke and do whatever seems western. It is not at all so as even the westerner people start it in excess after two major revolutions against nature and to be specific it harms the natural world, particularly after Two World Wars.


The first one was the Industrial revolution and the next one was the Technology or IT Revolution. Both of these were able to give great facilities so many people adopted these and ignored the natural resources.


We may be enjoying a lot but we are also paying a great cost for it from last more than 100 years as what are using cannot be reproduced. It includes the natural resources.

Now, Indian Civilization was based on natural resources and recyclable process that included almost all things like cloths from cotton, foods that were not processed, education that produced thinkers and researchers not just job seekers as home based works were sufficient to help the families live happily. For example, the child of a shopkeeper would get many degree while also having shop as one's work place.

Now, when the world wants to explore the natural ways and thus means and methods for survival, we have all of it present in our civilization from thousands of years.

We are educated to compete right from the first day of schooling. So, how one can excel when one is taught only two things: Compete and Win. The competitions lead to live as if everything is fair in it and thus the presence of corruption from thoughts to environmental levels.

In nature we all coexist and thus the education based on survival and competition can teach us how to defect others, jealousy, hatred and thus all leading to make one feel secure if one is rich. This state of being rich without being cultured and civilized creates carving to prove that one is superior by possessions not by qualities and virtues and thus all that is humanly. It made human lost the self-worth as money can now buy or prove anything.

The education is not just reading books and answering, it more than that. We all know that in the last one century, we have gone into great deficiency of original or classical philosophers, thinkers, sociologists, scientists, doctors, and so on as only the computer operators, the technocrats seem have been the experts or masters in every kind of field.

It has created the human knowledge and wisdom just a tool for trading and one needs to copy and paste or at most analyze data and claim to be a researchers. This has given rise to Cyber Crimes, Online Robbery and thus Artificial Intelligence (the AI).

India has an answer, but if we want it otherwise we become highly educated and great technocrats.

Thanks for your time reading it.

How Self, Society, Nature and Soul Work Together - Human, Possessions, Life, Service and Duty

History of Indian PhilosophyImage by brewbooks via Flickr









We have 3 most popular terms used in Indian Philosophy and Religions and particularly the Metaphysics. These terms are:


1. Aadhibhotic

2. Aadhidavic

3. Aaddhiatamic 

1. Aadhibhotic means related to body and all that we possess as a human.

2. The Aadhidavic relates to what runs life as we know it the Devta's, the life givers.

3. The Aaddhiatamic relates what we are, the souls, and thus relates to our conscience and consciousness as well. Now, the body, nature and soul work in a very simple way. We know about the physical world and what we should do in it in context to body and thus social.

However, what makes us know it is the soul (through conscience and all other tools like intellect and emotions). Now, when we consider nature we learn how to deal with Society, Nature and God (in whatever form we worship).

At the physical level (aadhibhotic) society is just buildings and possessions.

At natural level, there is also presence of living ones in the society. The point of spirituality comes from practice of what nature teaches us religion or Dharma. Nature follows the Dharma without any discrimination. Thus, nature and soul together learn spirituality, nature and society practice religion as if socializing with natural world in the nature that includes us, we, the humans.

Thus, religion goes as natural socialization but spiritualism is personal socialization with nature (for theory) and society (for practice). If we serve nature, we receive help in return. However, when we serve soul, the self or conscience, we have nothing to exchange as it is our real self that does not lack anything but in return makes us intellectually and emotionally mature and thus socially strong, mature and thus self-dependent.

This self-dependency is not being able to earn to live.

The conscience is a dynamic thing and thus spirituality is also dynamic that helps us for personal, family, social, national and international development without interfering with the nature. So, the natural laws and principles are for socialization and these can be accepted at intellectual level if we hear what our conscience says not what books say otherwise we may only know and remember (memorizing) without practicing it.

In conclusion, managing family and possessions begins our religions and faiths and how we contribute to society becomes Service (Seva).

The quality and standard that service at home and in society needs that we practice spiritualism as Know Thyself to understand ourselves and thus others. It helps to bring the concept of duty into service. Now, the service is the easiest way to socialize but in spiritual socialization one have to go beyond just serving others. Lord Krishna asks Arjuna to leave all religions, the socialization and so many restrictions it imposes on an individual, group, community and people in general that prevents one to do what one ought to do for all.

It services only motives and interests of some people, who belong to receiving that service due to religious together without even deserving it and thus misuse of laws of any state or nation in modern context. How hard it is to leave the social bonds and do our duty is beyond religions but is spiritual in nature, something that nature wants from us but not the society.

As nowadays society that seem to ignore nature, natural world and its right may prevent anyone doing one's duty.

All of it needed Lord Krishna to give Sermon of Holy Gita and thus is the duty and spirit or spiritualism not just religions and faiths. However, without practicing one's own religion and faith it is difficult to understand and practice what we know as duty, the Kartvya, essence of all services and thus the excellence and quality of service.


We may not simply claim to be public servant.

The democracy that we have had during the ancient times and even few hundreds years had religion and politics working together as the Indian Kings and Queens had been. They made rules according to the religions of the state in which they lived and they followed by themselves.

Lord Rama used Dharma or religion for democracy, but it may seem that he was King and thus not democrat. All of the decisions were taken on behalf of public and the ministers were selected according to standards established in the society. The democary in it was also that there were many states with many kings.

Similarly, Lord Krishna gave Kingdom of India to Yudhishtra and himself remained under his ruling as he served as King of Mathura. There are many examples when kingship was given to many who were not family members.

In nutshell, the Panchayat Raj is the most ancient concept of democracy that India gave to human civilization as only the selected people work in it. The public have always selected the people. It has similarity with home based business that has been present in India in all ages and thus throughout the history. The children were given education and training to be what their parents were and if one excelled one could be either minister or a king and or queen.

Initially most of the Kings and Queens had small regions (state levels) and then attained training, education and skills to be at national levels. This was also democratic way. We are taught that only the mighty was the King and that is not true as one had to prove all that needs to be a king or queen. What about Akbar (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbar)and Laxmi Bai (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_Lakshmibai)

We are not discussing the Invaders or others, who used forces. We need to learn even about not just Akbar, the great but also Sher Shah Suri (with thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sher_Shah_Suri) to understand how Indian always have made a difference in service and duty.

The process of knowing others is not just by knowledge and data information about anyone, but as equating our personal knowledge about our self as parameter to know others. By knowing others we may not know our-self, but by knowing our-self we can know all.

Thanks for your time to read it.
