Krishna...

The Saint and Lord
I find the entire journey of Krishna much fascinating then any of the Hindu Lords ever heard.
The reason?
Meaning of Krishna: in sanskrit it stands for "the dark one".
Worshipped all around the globe as one of the Dashavataras of Lord Vishnu, is the symbol of purity,playfulness,gaeity and art.
one can find krishna idols with the flute and in pairs with Radha as her Sangini.
Depicted in different forms in Bhagvad Gita, Vishnu Puraan and Mahabharata Krishna is still considered as the Supreme Being in Hindu Mythology and Traditional Culture.
Hariharan, Vitthala, Jagannath, Gopala are some of the regional names of Lord Krishna.
Mentioned in Mahabharata as the then King of Dwarka, Friend of Pandavas and Father of Samba.
The entire saga of lord Krishna from a prince to a King is very inspirational.
i am not going to describe each and every element of his life in this post but rather really focus some of the incidents that we should take into account. His life and his teachings to Arjuna that later transformed into Geeta can be taken in today's changing world.
When Yashoda finds Krishna eating mud she gets horrified by the fact that the whole universe is within him inside his mouth.Astonishing isnt it?At many places in Mahabharata he has been described as an immortal power that guides Arjuna to fight against his brothers in Kurukshetra War. Does that mean he has an immaterial body? The questions do not end here. We find him as a Supreme Being when Duryodhana tries to arrest Krishna showing all the forms of life within his body in a gigantic manner.
Krishna inspires us to search the inner soul..search for righteousness...spirituality within physical forms.. transcendental life and knowledge to learn and earn respect...he adds colors and joviality to life, freedom and individuality to think and transforming to immortality.
Vaishnavs, Ahmediya-Islam, Jainism and Buddhism also depict his glory and presence in their respective holy texts.Krishna teaches us not to lose hope and focus on your goal,never compromise in life when you know that it may hurt you in the future, diplomacy should be entertained but up to a limit when you get your results.
Be patient and Be calm in taking every decision but your work should be fast and aggressive.
Krishna finds his way to international society who bring his teachings to the outside world.
ISKCON is the leading society that is regenerating the morals and ethics to the East and West to learn what Krishna left for us. For me Krishna is immortal, immaterial and immense. He is the power that every one should get benefited. Hare Krishna.

I.N.D.I.A

India: In Word and Image

                                    15th August 2010

yes India is celebrating the 64th Independence Day today....64 years of being free...independent from the foreign rule. India has come a very long way...but somewhere the country itself lost its freedom and patriotism.
Where do we all Indians irrespective of religion,caste,language and community stand?
The answer is yet to be discovered.

We all love to express our patriotism whenever 15th August comes but what happens the next day?
We love to wish our friends and colleagues on FACEBOOK, ORKUT and YAHOO MESSENGER
even there are flags and roses made on your text messages that you eagerly wait to get and deliver on this very day!
We all listen to patriotic songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohd.Rafi ....
We often watch movies like Border and Gandhi but do we really make this our daily routine?
Why we forget about the great Indian Army and security forces who lost their lives during independence, what about their families?just think about it...
People start playing songs on loudspeakers indicating that we all are celebrating the independence.....
but do we really think about our countrymen who are suffering the pains of prise rise, starvation and acute poverty?
Do they have the money to buy gifts or feed their family on independence day?
I started my day with enjoying masala dosa and jalebies but what about the hungry child who just got some coins...he will go and buy out flags and get some mithais...for him it is his celebration.....
but for us ?

Do we really have that much sincerity towards our nation?Many of you have prepared a song or speech to present in your college or workplace .....
but what after that? do we all follow what we demand for? we start complaining about corruption,caste system, poverty and illiteracy....but what happens when we just end up?
the answer is we forget our responsibility....
there is a saying that ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY...so was not INDIA


I love my country because i love my people who irrespective of multicultural society celebrate each and every festival with the same zeal and manner. My people negotiate on the basis of caste and religion everyday like the people of Russia and Afghanistan.
My people always follow the tradition of "atithi-devo-bhava" and "satyameva jayate"
All work and eat together and for me this way they all celebrate freedom everyday
Our Constitution is the Largest Written Constitution that gives every single Indian to enjoy

  1. The right to equality
  2. The right to freedom
  3. The right to freedom from exploitation
  4. The right to freedom of religion
  5. Cultural and educational rights
  6. The right to constitutional remedies
  7. The right to Education
64 years have passed but still our majority of the population is youth and definitely India has achieved things very quickly and dynamically
I am proud to be an Indian who enjoys the distinction of living in a country with so many variety of cultures that change every 1 mile...
I am proud to be a part of the world's largest democracy
I am proud to be a part of the world's second most populous country
I am proud to be a part of the world's fourth largest economy
fastest developing nation...emerging world superpower and fastest producer of talents in each and every field
where cricket is a religion and people worship people
where freedom flows in the air and tranquility in the waters

I m a part of that country that once was ruled by the Aryans, Dravidians and Moguls who gave us marvels of architecture like Qutub Minaar and Taj Mahal.
the Mahabharata , Ramayana ,Geeta, Vedas- Upanishads, Guru Grantha Sahib, Jataka Katha, Theravada, Agamas,etc. that enlightened the country with spirituality and purity of minds.
Himalayas, Deserts, Rain forests,Wildlife....INDIA has got everything.

But still we as Indians have many challenges..and the biggest challenge is to fight for internal security...the country is facing the problems like Cross Border Terrorism and Naxal Menace. We should support our Government and get united to fight against all odds and inequalities. Social Issues such as Prise Rise, Unemployment, Roti-Kapda-Makaan, Corruption should be tackled in a joint manner and for this India have to start a Revolution to get Complete Freedom and yes INDEPENDENCE will then only find a correct meaning
lets pledge altogether to

MAKE INDIA A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE


                     PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN
       
                     
          JAI HIND JAI BHARAT

Naxal Bandh...What The F?

hmmm....finally there is another bandh now...not by the opposition parties but by the opposite ppl....MAOISTS !


Hey let me tell you first i m a Bengali by birth (that doesn't mean that i follow or support the Left Parties..their ideas are of the bygone era...their ideologies don't match our current sentiments)
and yes i was brought up in the cities of  Nagpur and Jabalpur very much near to the Maoist infested regions of the central state of Chhattisgarh..and surprisingly i'm doing my graduation from Raipur,the Capital City of this state.And Sadly i have got only one such Super-fast train that connects my present city to Raipur.
So whenever i have to make a reservation i just check the wait-list and get myself confirmed that boy you have to travel by bus now...beggars cannot be choosers. No more options.
And my "last hope" travels through a Naxal affected area...sad...very sad :(
and the saddest part is when i have to travel on Naxal Bandh!


Nowadays Naxalites have got an Easy Way by blowing off the railway tracks and blocking trains....my family members are in much more trouble than myself..u know?
Lets us return to the issue....What does a Bandh in a republic or say a democratic nation like us?
Demanding to get the nations attention towards your hardship...is it so?
then why the hell are 'THEY' calling for Bandhs?
is our nation so much weak to handle such a situation?
i consider that if we use army then the government have to cut out short the force from the international boundaries and then there will be a high risk of infiltration and cross border terrorism in Kashmir and North-East.....Can't we strengthen our Police Force....?
I agree that Naxals are our own people who just lost their aims and are following the path of violence because of failure in talks to the government....
But why should we common people suffer?
Aren't we also the citizens of this nation?
or Should we also start using explosives and blow off  every little thing just to get the Center or States' attention?

The tribal people of Bastar or say Lalgarh dont even know why they are supporting the Naxals!


Small children and Women are getting training in Naxal Camps around the nation to fight against our own system..has our system failed?..is it what we want?
No...
Just think over the issue.....blame the government that it didnt ever tried to understand the demands of the Naxals and the real poor people who face the real challenges of poverty malnutrition and corruption as well....
I don't blame Miss A.Roy for supporting Naxals...better i would say she is supporting their demands of giving them social privilege and equal status for their living.
I don't even blame the government as well....Not a diplomatic but still....i think the schemes and different facilities for the poor rural people haven't reached to them properly because of the level of corruption in the ministerial level. I would rather thank the government of the states suffering from RED TERROR that they have really done superb job in case of education and health sector..i just want even the whole country wants something more from you....just stop this kind of Bandhs and Hartals because they are totally ANTI-DEMOCRATIC and ANTI-SOCIAL and let the Maoists feel that they can't get success without joining the mainstream...


                         A sincere appeal from a novice blogger-

STOP THE HARTALS AND BANDHS....STOP THE CORRUPTION...STOP SOCIAL TERRORISM first!

Happy Anniversary to My First Blog!!!







yea....6th July 2008 was the day when i joined blogger
now it has completed three years.....
i just want to share my experience with you all what I lost and and what i gained in these three years...


The first year just passed...exams over..results out...what to do? try blogging...
...where to start from? use your memories,
where to pen down my thoughts? hey Blogspot.com! Eureka!
hmmmm....memories never die ...they multiply!
so i started with my childhood memories...the beautiful estate life of Ambajhari, Nagpur.
my wonderful friends and my ecstatic journey of what i call LIFE...!!!
then i moved my thoughts to Jabalpur...a very new place to me....
my school friends and my society friends..i included them all..:)


My blog was the sole inspiration of my famous Get2Gether Events and Any Time Parties...lol


I Reunited all my old friends....they were happy ....even i was a little bit more! :D


We traveled the whole Jabzzz( the trendy name of Jabalpur ),


We tasted in each and every corner of the city,


We wasted every moment to capture and consolidate Memories...Beautiful Memories of Rejoice and Reunions...:)


I learnt from my life never say quit keep moving  
I learnt from my life ever say Yes but Saying No can help you out in some Bizarre cases too..lol
I learnt to learn people,value relationship and cater everyone's thought


Time and Tide wait for none......


Life is a Roller Coaster Ride...tight your seat belts or else you will lost yourself in the Journey of finding Paradise




I turned out to be a philosopher and somewhere sometimes a hypocrite....but nevertheless i was a human who never tasted defeat nor taken life as granted...


I FOUND MY REAL ME!!


I became my self competitor
I defeated myself by winning myself
I supported others and respected their statements
I seldom Argued but always Appealed




Sarkar was growing bigger and bigger from inside enlarging his heart...removing the clutters from his mind


I thank you all my wonderful well wishers and favorite friends who were always there with me in my good and bad days


I thank my parents who let me fly by myself and discover outside world and their tremendous support and blessings


I thank GOD....as he was always there with me teaching me the good things and detoxifying the evil energy




A HEART FULL OF THANKS TO ALL MY READERS who made my BLOG A GREAT SUCCESS....LOVE YOU ALL...KEEP ROCKING GUYS!!!..:)
