The first step to fight passiveness is to speak out

Please do not be so passive…

When passiveness prevailing in Hindu Society is being discussed, the first Dharm is to speak out and express yourself.

Humble request to you all: Please respond; EXPRESS Yourself!!!

When you will start doing this, you will realize that you are master of your DESTINY.

I have posted my views on certain important issues, affecting Hindus in previous letters. Now it is for you to carry this crusade forward. This is not against anyone but PRO HINDU AND HINDU SOCIETY.

Here are some simple thoughts which may motivate you to act:

1. It is important to remember that non bookish meaning of Sanatan Dharm is growth of entire Hindu Society on equal opportunity basis. Why this definition is not being given due publicity by religious organizations is baffling. However after independence, the Hindu society is becoming poorer and wealth of Gurus has increased manifold. Conclusions can be drawn by the readers. Hindus SPEAK!

2. Religion has 3 essential parts. 1) Pooja;2) Rituals; 3)Physical performing part. Hindus call the physical performing part of religion DHARM. It is this Dharm which was diluted by Saints to somehow save Hindus, during 1000 years of invaders rule. After independence, corruption, passiveness, exploitation of females and weaker section, can be attributed to non reintroduction of Dharm by Gurus.

3. Pooja and rituals are personal choice of an individual; Dharm or physical performing part of religion is NOT; IT HAS TO BE PERFORMED. It is so ordained by every religion. It is the absence of this Dharm which is lacking and making the Hindu society so PASSIVE that they accept Corruption, Non performance of Government as God wish. Tolerating ATTROCITIES is ADHARM.

4. We all talk of corruption, but we prefer to sit in our drawing rooms expressing our helplessness for what is happening. We forget that we have a democracy, and we can sort out most of the corruption related problems in case the entire society, Mohalla or sub sector walks out on street. And this is Dharm; not following this is Adharm, which would take one to HELL.

5. EVERY Hindu MUST feel proud to be born a Hindu. But it also gives every Hindu a responsibility of ensuring that Hindu society moves in a positive direction. Pride does not come by saying so, it comes from real NOTICEABLE and MEASURABLE accomplishments. We are living in an INFORMATION AGE, and we have statistics which intimates performance of Hindu Society after Independence.

6. There has always been difference between commitment toward nation and commitment towards an organization, or GURU. This difference was very apparent during 1000 years of invaders rule, when people holding loyalty to a particular clan/religious belief refused to think beyond that resulting in disunity, invaders rule, and atrocities, which spared none.

7. Alexander, though winning some battles, could not hold on to the gains. And Chanakya did play an important role in this. He did not advocate Bhakti to fight with Alexander; he did not advocate TAP, neither Mantra Siddhi nor Pooja and Rituals, but succeeded by following Karma. The thing to understand is that he used diplomacy, deceit, and sustained efforts (Karma) to achieve the objective.

MOST HUMBLE REQUEST WITH FOLDED HANDS >>> You cannot be a mute spectator when Hindu society is perishing !!

Regards

Kulbhushan

Take time to read and be fast in acting upon Dr. Abdul Kalam's Letter to Every Indian Why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? We are the first in milk production. We are number one in Remote sensing satellites. We are the second largest producer of wheat. We are the second largest producer of rice. Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news. In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is.. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For her, you and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation. .. YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say, say and say.. What do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are.. You pay $5 (approx. Rs.. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity… In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai ... YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah. YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs..650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand .. Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ? In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan .. Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms. We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity. This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system? What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money. Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal m ., .m of introspection and pricks one's conscience too….. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians….. 'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY' Lets do what India needs from us. Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or junk mails. Thank you, Dr.. Abdul Kalam PLZ FORWARD TO EVERY PROUD INDIAN.... THANKS & REGARDS, GAURAV RAJORA.

अखिरमें प्रधान मंत्री जी ने

अखिरमें प्रधान मंत्री जी ने अपनी गलती मान ली ! अच्छा होता अगर सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेश से पहले मान लेते ! क्या प्रधान मंत्री जी यह बतायगे कि किसके कहने पर गलती की क्योंकि मनमोहन सिंग जी ख़ुद गलती नहीं कर सकते ! देश की जनता को बता दें ताकि आपको कोई बेईमान न कहे !

नकली मुद्रा

भारत में नकली मुद्रा बढ़ती जा रही हे ! इस के लिए सरकार को १०००/- और ५००/- के नोट फौरन बंद कर देने चाहिए ताकि नकली मुद्रा का चलन बंद हो सके .ऐसा करने से भ्रशटाचार भी कम हो जाएगा !

Maha Shivratri

Maha Shivratri  is a festival celebrated every year on the 13th night/14th day in the Krishna Paksha (waning moon) of the month of Maagha (as per Shalivahana or Gujarati Vikrama) or Phalguna (as per Vikrama) in the Hindu Calendar (that is, the night before and day of the new moon). The festival is principally celebrated by offerings of Bael (Bilva) leaves to the Lord Shiva, all day fasting and an all night long vigil. Cannabis is traditionally used as an offering for Lord Shiva and his followers. Per scriptural and discipleship traditions, the penances are performed in order to gain boons in the practice of Yoga and meditation, in order to reach the goal more swiftly and avoid rebirth.
The twelve Jyotirlingas (lingams of light) are sacred shrines of Lord Shiva, and centres for his worship. They are known as Swayambhus, meaning the lingams sprung up by themselves at these places and temples were built there afterwards.
Twelve Jyotirlingas
The names and the locations of the 12 Jyotirlingas are mentioned in the Shiva Purana (Śatarudra Saṁhitā,Ch.42/2-4). These shrines are:

• Somnath Temple • Mallikarjun Temple • Mahakaleshwara Temple • Omkareshwar Temple
•Vaidyanath Temple • Bhimashankar Temple • Rameshwaram Temple • Nageshwar Temple
• Vishwanath Temple • Trimbakeshwar Temple • Kedarnath Temple • Grishneshwar Templ
