Limits of My Bhakti

How do I feel when my beloved leader visits the temple which I visit? Elated!!! How do I feel when my beloved leader says I visit only the temple of your faith, build grand temples for you to keep so called OUTSIDERS at a bay to give wings to hate towards fellow groups and claims vote on that factor ? A bhakt would surely get elated at the this aspect for sharing that innate feel of showing places to the other sects. But a honest citizen who doesn't carry the burden of the past would show that leader his place instead for breaking the unity amongst the PUBLIC FORCE in the name of religion.

A mass leader is not a husband or a lover to say that he is reserved for that particular religion or sect. He is the head of the family who understands the sentiments of each and every individual and finds a mid path for everyone to follow. He is not here to pit one member against other and take sides based on the convenience.

 

Coming back to the factor of bhakti, its a completely personal. The God we worship is definitely a fact introduced to us by our parents. As we grow we imbibe those bhakti moments passed on by our parents and learn to live with it. But what happens when the same god becomes point of altercation amongst its followers and non-believers. Except atheist everyone has one or the other god to depend upon in difficult times.

It becomes difficult to digest a person who from no where enters the scene and says that the god we believe in danger due to the other gods. A terror minded person asks you to kill to protect your god, a religious chauvinists asks you to hate other gods to showcase love towards your God. Only a person with wisdom would ask you to chose the path of love to identify the god present within your self who cannot be stolen or desecrated by any other individual. 

Building huge places of worship doesn't mean you are doing great service towards society but the need of the hour is great buildings of world class universities and hospitals that provide relentless service to the people without differentiating as believers and non-believers. God resides is such selfless service towards society.

I am a supporter not a follower....

Before moving ahead, if you are a political fanatic who thinks that leaders should not be questioned, then excuse me, you should not be continuing. If you still continue, its at your own risk.

There were strict orders from government. Those who discuss the health status of Chief Minister over the internet/ social media , they would be arrested and prosecuted. And the same was done using the state police machinery with a quick reaction time. 

The intention was clear about preventing the panic situation. Days passed and ultimately the Chief minister was declared dead. Police did a wonderful job and no riots were reported. From Prime minister to President, condolences poured in. Amma is being replaced with Chinnamma and the show is moving on.

Well and good. But according to latest report in the leading newspaper around 203 people die of Shock due to demise of the Chief Minister. It is quite hard to digest the numbers and party to which the Chief minister belongs has decided to compensate for such deaths.

The question remains, why is that people die of a shock and grief of a chief minister? Ultimate answer would be love on the beloved leader.

How much is too good to bestow the love on a leader rather on their policies and philosophies. That leads to discussion on difference between being a supporter and a fan. 

In a college, students elect a class representative, who is well versed to communicate their ideas/ decisions to the higher authorities and act as a point of contact to the entire class. Students respect him/her for the role taken and thank him/her whole hearted. Its not difficult to replicate the same on the political level.

But things get complicated when the class representative instead of doing the required simple job involves himself in non-required complex jobs like doing some kind of dis-information campaign or becomes a medium of extortion for some additional marks/ influence. The class segregates into pro leader and against leader resulting in polarisation and things get complicated further.

So when looked into above prism of things, the so called "love in politics" turns out to be a complicated form of doing politics and polarising the people to such an extent that you make them die for you. Is it fair? In other words a person who merely was to act as a voice of people to understand their problem and solve the issues, when turns out to become a power house to create a different level of power circles around you, its a complicated version of democracy resulting in unequal development of the society.

It is not fault of the politicians, instead it the fault of we common people who try to extract a demi-god of the leader and complicate the entire process which serves no real purpose except for show off. 

I would like to add a disclaimer. The views expressed are aimed towards spreading awareness on "simple democracy" rather than a complex version. The incidents taken into consideration are for proving the same and not to hurt any individual or political organisation or their die hard followers

Cost of protection... war games... :(

A good happy family with its own culture, goals and ideas keeps itself running with parents being present, grand parents providing the past gyaan and children acting as a future path. Its a complete connectivity between past, present and future.

The aim of every family is to flourish in this competitive world. Some follow ethics and feel that ethics does matter to flourish happily and some just don't care about the ethics as they are happy to showoff the world the material pride they had earned by hook or crook. If things were this much simple there would be no problem but when the greed of non-ethics exceeds the permissible limit the ethical is forced into protectionist mode. Safeguard his/her family from the brutality of the non-ethics. They are forced to spend on this protection and cut on the expense of good requirements of the family. It may be a good education, purchase a new farm house and so on. Ethical is forced.

Just replace the family with country and situation is the same. India is buying arms, lots and lots of arms. Advance jets, missile system and so on to safeguard its boundaries from non-ethical neighbours. India is forced to buy lots and lots of arms.

But should India be happy about it? Not at all because it still has 39% of its kids starving for food according to the latest statistics. It needs lots and lots of money to alleviate the people from below poverty level so that each and every citizen can be guaranteed three meals of the day and a decent shelter and clothing to survive with dignity. Yet India is forced to spend lots and lots of money on arms.

But there is no good big brother who can impose a world order with a vision of seeing human beings lead a dignified life. Instead one is ready to attack the other, upon seeing a weakness and use the same for their filthy profit.

Profit is a word which has diverse meaning and it means different to different kind of people. For some profit is a means of continuing a business on a positive note and see it as an encouragement and for some profit is way of protecting their future and establishing their supremacy over other for decades. Supremacy in terms of insulting and ill treating subjects.

Instead of running the world based on profit and loss pattern, I wish the world leaders should work on a win-win kind of deal where one's profit doesn't become a loss for the other. But a dignified lifestyle is guaranteed to each and every individual on this earth. 

Way to move on-!!!!!!

World of politics is something a great battle within, we see everything - corruption, crime, grouping, threatening, fight, lies, cheating, framing etc etc.

In simple words, politics is all about finding a common ground for a group of people and the person who achieves success in this direction emerges out as a winner.One can find out the common ground by understanding the mind and soul of the people around. But I am not here to speak about politics but it is more about contrast which was observed by me while following the incidents which took place in the politics at national level.

For those confused citizens let me brief about the political situation in India. There was a parliament session held recently and three CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) reports were tabled which showed the present Govt. of India led by UPA ( United Progress Alliance) headed by Mr.Manmohan Singh in a poor light raising questions on his credibility because the three reports were about losses which Govt. of India had to bear due to wrong policies followed by the government.

So the first part of the story is clear. Next, it was all bashing up of UPA government by BJP which had blocked the parliament from functioning demanding resignation of Honorable Prime minister who is Mr. Manmohan Singh. The status quo was maintained, with UPA blaming State governments for the so called losses in distribution of Coal gates and BJP blaming the UPA government.

There was a scenario when everything seemed to be settling and a writ petition requesting the intervention of Supreme Court of India into alleged Coal gate scam was requested by a petitioner which was accepted by the Court and sent a notice to Coal ministry for its response. The same evening Govt of India announced number  of decisions under the banner called "ECONOMIC REFORMS" which included increasing the price of diesel, limiting the number of subsidized gas cylinders and allowing the FDI in multibrand retail.

Second part is concluded and final part is about agitation. The so called reform measures announced by Mr.Manmohan singh failed to convince the opposition parties as well as some of the parties within its alliance which resulted in protests in the form of Bharath Bandh. One of the party within the UPA called Trinamool Congress under the leadership of Shri. Mamata Banerjee raised her voice against the price rise, cap on subsidization gas cylinders as well as FDI in multibrand retail. She gave an ultimatum to the Government and threatened to withdraw support from her party to the UPA. But for the reason best known to Shri Manmohan Singh none of her requests were accepted by the Congress party which is the decision maker of the Alliance/group.


The problem with politics in India is that no one behaves as spoken by them, for example there will be a promise which will not be kept, there will be a manifesto which will not be followed and there will be a deadline which will not be met. People had same doubts on the deadline of the Smt. Mamata Banerjee and wanted to know her true colors.

She gave a deadline of Five days which was then extended to one more day, there was eagerness among all the stake holders to see whether this lady too will go back on her terms. The deadline was over and she came and sat before the mics of the press who were readily recording and broadcasting her statement to the viewers. She impressed everyone. She withdrew her support for the government and her decision was purely based on her principles ie. protecting the interests of Maa (Mother), Mati (Land) and Manush (Human being).

Fantastic was her decision!! Because here we see a person who stood on her words and took decision based on the principles believed by her rather than calculating the advantages and disadvantages which is the  basis for politics in Modern India.Just observe Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav of Samajwadi party, he protests against UPA but still supports UPA. He is playing a dual role. Now it is no tough task to be on the either side of the fighting group for you will never loose. Some people may call it as intelligence but I term it as bull shit!!!!

And thus a debate can be started with above story as the basis i.e. life based on advantage and disadvantage as a factor and life based on principles as a factor.

Get ready for a storm of life- I can link the politics with feel of love between two people. Even in politics there are two people one is called a Leader and another is called a follower. But in love we call the individuals as lovers.

If you ask two loving people , a reason for their union they will simply say that they feel like loving each other and nothing else. Try to explain them about the advantages and disadvantages of loving a particular person which most of  the probable lovers searching for a pair do i.e. they try to look at the money possessed by a person, his/her stature, beauty etc etc and make some filthy calculations and then decide to love; a pair who are truly in love with each other will send you packing because they do not believe in the factor of advantages and disadvantages instead believe in the meeting of their principles followed by each individual in his/her life.

Advantages and Disadvantages can be used a criteria for selection while buying some machines or materials in return for money because by buying a machine  with maximum advantages we can use make use of the machine for best use. But while choosing a person i.e. as a leader, as a wife or a husband we need to see how committed a person is to his/her principles because a person who doesn't go against his/her principles will never ever cheat anyone in his/her life.

So is about Ms. Mamata Banerjee committed to her principles and she will never cheat her followers as done or being speculated of Mr.Manmohan singh/ Mr. Mulayam Singh yadav. But I find people making fun of the ones who are principled in their life and term them as fools who do not change.

I would like to warn them that it is easy to lead a satisfactory life among principled people as they will never back stab you  but by leaving with the one who often change colors based on advantage and disadvantage factor  you will end up wasting your precious life time by putting the people around under scrutiny!!!!!!Be careful!!!!!

  

Best fight in the world- @ Parliament of India

My country is great!!!!

Do you need to know why? Obviously for the reason that we fight great for great reasons!!!!

A person may not have enough food in his house to feed his family but when there is an attack on his religion he will FIGHT. He will have a leader blowing the trumpet on a podium in front of a mic being heard on a loud speaker.My fellow Indian will be hearing him either being seated on the branches of the trees or on the stones near edges of the ground. Traveled by free bus arranged by beloved leader and assured of free food as well as money at end of the day.

He is looted of his money, a right to live freely, his privilege in this society as well as his identity, but still he doesn't care.He doesn't wish to question the integrity of his master as he believes the guy from  heart.He is taught to believe his leader, work for him and obey him.

But our beloved leaders look at the heads of such people as stepping stones towards the treasure to involve themselves in various scams- 2G, CWG, Coal, and don't see them as a fellow human being whose emotions and feelings needs to be respected.

I am wishing to see a leader who has this sense of feelings towards the voters whom they represent in the parliament. Till then big fighting tamasha will continue to entertain me and we will boast ourselves to be the great democracy in the world as told my Shri Pranab Mukherjee, President of India.
