BEHOLD O SEA !

On thy cold grey stones, Strike and shatter thy might, The tides and surfs, behold O Sea ! Rise and fall in delight.   Moods of the climes, Joys and woes of mankind, Serene universe, impassioned nature, Heigh ho ! cheered with thy rhymes.   Rush and die, turbulent O Sea ! Lies underneath, tranquil eternity, Rhythms of nature so everlasting, Lively and sweeping all fraternity.

DIVINITY IN DIVERSITY OF CREATIVITY

We have already established that the Absolute Existence is binomial in His characteristics as we shall behold –   ' Purusa ' is absolutely conscious yet not indifferent, all encompassing yet not static i.e. ever expanding, inactive yet not inert, supreme cause of all yet not the effect, supreme time yet not the past, present or the future, supreme pivot yet not the pivot of relativity/reference... these binomial descriptions can be defined ceaselessly yet none of these are exhaustive in itself. He is just unfathomably, ceaselessly and incessantly mystical. ' Prakriti ' is almost in all respects, diametrically opposite to ' Purusa '. Both are in cosmic command of each other forever, from eternity to yet another eternity, then to another eternity... We draw a pot-full of water from surging waves of an ocean, identify it, pour it back into the ocean at the same spot, then re-draw water from exactly the same spot in the same pot. Do we re-draw exactly the sa...

SANATANA PANTHA OF HINDUISM AS I, WE AND THEY PERCEIVE

I have been often requested by acquaintances to define Hinduism. However, I never took it seriously till a matter came up in Supreme Court wherein Justices admitted Hinduism as a complex issue, a life-style and what not. These observations are tangential, at best. Let me attempt to define Hinduism from multiple perspectives to the assistance of all those who have been seized with the matter so far.    Sanatana Pantha of Hinduism is as mystical as the Absolute Consciousness i.e. Param Brhamatma Himself. Just as every ' Bhakta ' has his own take on Absolute Divinity, so are multitudinous definitions of Hinduism, may be individualised, personalised or otherwise. Straight-jacketed definition of Hinduism is impossible to concretise as it will never be perfect owing to its multiple perspectives. Hinduism is an eternal Pantha , as much all inclusive as Param Brhamatma  Himself, being Bhagirathi of faiths of all rivers, rivulets and glaciers of other faiths. Let us move a ...

DID THEY ACHIEVE ANYTHING AS PRIME MINISTERS ? IF AT ALL !!

Jawaharlal Nehru – Sworn enemy of Sanatana Dharma, Hindu-s and national sovereignty, promoted conversions, criminal mind-set, his entire tenure was a complete waste of a historic opportunity, ensured Bharata remained a British vassal state   Lal Bahadur Shastri - Botched up 1965 War victory, had no idea how to govern the nation and enemies, very wrong man in nations politics   Gulzari Lal Nanda – Completely a useless fellow with his primitive thinking, his honesty benefited neither the nation nor he himself   Indira Gandhi – On payroll of KGB, imposed 97.5% income tax, ruined nations economy, destroyed 1971 military victory on table, highly venomous and vindictive by temperament, traumatised Hindu-s/Sikhs and deservedly assassinated   Moraji Desai – Typical Congressman, glorified Urine-therapy, continued with communist approach of Congress, destroyed RAW, complete waste of tenure, extended family stayed in PMs residence   Chaudhary Charan Singh – His K...

SVATAHAYOGA vs. SVADHARMAYOGA : NIRAKARA vs. SAKARA BRAHMA

Even if the best brains toil their best to fractionate "Existence" at its most fundamental level, they shall not discover more than these two constituents - Faculty of cognition/knowing, Faculty of action/acting Though I am certainly not one of the best brains in the world, yet I had the temerity of allowing my faculty of imagination (a composite of both the aforesaid faculties) to run riots, not for hours or days but for months together, attempting to identify any possible III or IV constituent of the Existence or even sub-fractionate the aforesaid two pillars of the Existence. I did not succeed. I have allowed myself to be contented with these two constituents alone.   Faculty of Knowledge is the wisdom or all encompassing Supreme Consciousness i.e. ' Purusa ' while the other, Faculty of Action is ' Prakrti '. Just as knowledge cannot act while action cannot know, Supreme Consciousness or the Purusa cannot act. He "does not act" is conseque...

RATIONALE OF VARNA SYSTEM IN HINDU SOCIETY

Ultimate Existence is essentially an aggregate of just two constituents in complete harmony with the binary cosmic plan - Prakrti and Purusa i.e. action and consciousness respectively. Prakrti is active albeit unconscious while Purusa , inactive yet entirely conscious. Prakrti in its most fundamental manifest exists in three modes i.e. Sattva , Raja and Tama Guna -s while Purusa is indivisible and untainted by modes. In varying degrees and orders, these three Guna -s form the basis of entire cosmic Maya . These Guna -s are eternal, can be subdued through Sadhana but impossible to be dissolved completely. Those who succeed in transcending these Guna -s, are liberated to salvation. Those unable to migrate beyond the realm of Guna -s, create more and more of Samskara -s for themselves through Sakama Karma -s i.e. motivated actions. These Samskara -s lead to either more Samskara -s through Sakama Karma -s or offer themselves to be dissolved through Sadhana of Niskama Karma i.e. Kar...
