It has been long time since I posted my last blog. Friends and foes are keen and eager to bash or quash if they disagree as they will get patient hearing to their voice from my side. Few of them even suggested the topics to blog. But the time and space factors played vital role for the postponement of my blog. Anyhow I am not in a position to scribe on the topics suggested my few of friends as they seems to be futile exercise ;most of them breach the privacy of individuals and I certainly deny to do so.
Recently I had been to Jaipur prior to my way for 'THE GOLDEN ISOLATION'. It was a hurry-bury visit and most of my proposal schedule was not unable to meet and I apologize for the same to my beloved ones who had a great expectation on my visit to their places. Despite of limited time constraint I do visited few of them which I felt morally necessary to do so.
My Alma mater MNIT has changed a lot and I felt myself that as if I have changed. Old guards were replaced by home guards. I tried to go through road barricade which I used to do earlier easily  but now it seems bit difficulty as I am gained some weight ! Rome all along Library and Post office and quadrangles which are unique to MNIT. Days which are gone came to mind all along when we(myself ,Vishal & Soumitra ,others) used to assemble in the administrative block in the late night after our dinner and used to play instruments till we were saturated enough !! consequently changing things of prohibition to do so there also came to my mind when a new director came to our institution in the later days of my graduation.
I did relish the CHHABRA"S twice ....I met all my well wishers except one whom often accompanied me in my collage days. They were bustards and peacocks....which used to accompany me all along my way to hostel. I am so sad that I was unable to find even not a single ...

An SMS was sent by colleague of my father at about 08:42 am which states as follows: HIS PHYSICAL JOURNEY ENDED AT 7:40 AM. HE SHALL LIVE ON ETERNALLY.

O my mind,

Lord has come with the mission as often He comes to foster mankind in right path. He is not the one who attached with body and He shall fulfill His mission without body. So don’t bind Him to mere His physical body. A phenomenon often happens but truth trumps at last. Learn to Love His uncertainty. Be in equanimity... leaving the body is just an interval … climax is still left…

4/24/2011 12:47:56 PM

Perpetual residence of Lord- the Heart of Devotees

Spirit left the physical body. Is it right to bind the sprit to the mere body?

He is watching us from all sides –the Omni present Who often trial and tease His beloved ones...

సమయానికి తగు మాతలాడనే..

భోదించిన సన్మార్గ వచనములు బ్రోక్కుచేసి తాపట్టిన పాట్టు.

(Having falsified all the statements on the true path (He Himself) had taught,
He (did accomplish/substantiate) the stand He had taken.)

Witnessing the repetition of the tale of agony of Gopi-Gopalas separation from Lord physically from Bhagavatam - HIS story.

Center of life of whole mankind- Saga of perpetual Love incarnated…

4/24/2011 3:13:59 PM

It is His will which always triumph …not ours….

4/24/2011 7:43:54 PM

His physical journey ends. Curtain downs to Divine Play

4/25/2011 10:59:53 AM

తన ఆటమునకు తెరయేసిన భగవంతుడు.....

అట్టి పరమాత్మయను బొమ్మలాటగాడు

తాను జీవుల రంగాస్తాలానే నిలిపి

ఆడు ఆనాటి ఈనాటి ఆట జూచి

సుంత వర్ణించి కొంత సంతసముగనుడి...

ధర్మ నాశానమగుచున్న ధరణియందు

ప్రభవమందేను శ్రీ సాయి పర్తియందు

ఇంతకన్నాడు వేరేది ఎరుక పరతు? సాధుసద్గుణ గణ్యులో సభ్యులార !

4/25/2011 12:48:59 PM

What we earnestly prayed we would never have to do. But God's will always prevails. If HE has decided to bring the curtain down on this incarnation, so it has to be. However, HE cannot go away from our Hearts, where HE has to be forever.

HE became our perpetual HRIDAYAVASI shedding HIS mortal body....Vowing to lead our life to His expectations ..

4/27/2011 12:33:21 PM

Curtain down to His play.

(It was a musing which I wrote when Bhagawan Baba was in hospital)

Bhagawan in His historical letter dated 25th May 1947 to brother Sheshamaraju wrote -

“Providing bliss to whole humanity and protecting is them is My owe.

To catch hold of those who go stray and save them is My owe.

My love makes Me save the poor from the grief and troubles of poverty.

To safeguard and foster those who adore Me sincerely is my glory.

I say it is devotion to accept good or bad alike as I am the savior of those who seek my help and protection and the nearest and dearest of all."

Certainly I don’t forget those who surrender to me, So how can I get bad name in this world?”

Such purity of intentions, works and actions are definitely clear indications of divinity. But because of influence of illusion divinity cannot be recognized.

In this letter Bhagawan has made it very clear, the purpose of His life and mission for which He is with us. Retrospection of this Complete Man and His actions by future generations will become another HIS-story. Recent events will be written in gold in the history of mankind for the greatest grace showing on mankind by God by sacrifice and selfless love. Veda Purusha sacrificing Himself for sake of Himself in action is repeating again front of us for HIS noble mission of protecting the entire mankind. He has not ignored even peripherals who is unknown in physical frame. He is catching hold the one who are stray away with illusion and ignorance and bringing them to right track. Message of Bhagawadgita in action-

Dharma samstapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge..

Understanding divinity latent in man is highly complicated and often man fails to realize his potentiality which is latent in him. To understand the play and actions of God is an acrobatic exercise; beyond our scope of intellect and intelligence , often results in nothing and enigmatic in nature. By these means we cannot even realize the glimpse of divinity within us. His compassion and grace bestow small droplet of wisdom about Him, out of boundless ocean of His play.

Today some sections of media are devastating the society with chaos. Professionalism is on bad tract of staunch competition compromising the substance of information with paid news and defamatory to solicit advertisements. Exploiting the reporters to solicit ad and inappropriate news to increase their TRPs has become canker in media. Due to ethical deficit and lack of awareness about their role in the society and as the fourth organ of state they often lose their credibility. Most of the journalists bagged with poor acumen often mis-reports and makes the things hoarer or tittle-tattle. They cause unnecessary tension in the society by reporting absurdly.Many civilians also bothered about this development in media and they are already rising these issues in appropriate platforms. By these absurd reporting s and galloping unreasonableness among some section of media one can say that there is serious ethical and moral deficit and inappropriateness in some section of today’s journalism which is in clumsy competition to report first among each other without comprehension of matter which they are reporting.This growth can be seen phenomenal especially in regional media.Media is fourth organ of our state governance mechanism and they are having equal responsibility with other three subordinate bodies for welfare state. Instead of working as watchdog of society, they are often becoming cause of anxiety, increasing crime and taboo of society.

Media is getting an opportunity to know about Bhagawan. Very few section of media utilize this by knowing Lord, His message, His work and His life by dually broadcasting and publishing the same to people at large .Many defamatory broadcastings with tertiary substance are airing up in media. Most of the things which they are broadcasting is without scrutiny, irrational and biased. Instead of cooperating with the authorities they are pressurizing irrationally to know something for their own interest which is highly condemnable. Despite of their vicious penning and gossiping the events against Bhagawan, media is unknowingly doing the Greatest Sadhana for which there is no par. They might be titillating the events; blogging the untruth and malicious; disparaging and adulating about Bhagawan, central trust and causing inimical conditions in the society. These may be looking grotesque but their impact shall not remain further any more in near future ,Truth Shall Trumph

Most of our actions are orchestrated by unknowingly known Omnipresent who pervades the complete cosmos and beyond. Hopefully the present day media is also dancing to the rhythm of the same cosmic energy. Who knows their penance of previous births and their desires?? Except the Divine Director who is currently on stage enacting as the Divine Actor. When Director Himself is acting on the stage with co –actors by bestowing grace, fellow actors with whole team in action gets ample opportunities to seek the thing for which the Divine Director is enacting in the Divine Drama.

Holistically and spiritually by constantly eager to know something about Bhagawan and broadcasting /publishing about Lord for mass in their actions they becoming messenger of Bhagawan’s love and mission. In their disparaging misreporting and gossiping, they are actually doing indirect Namasmarana by constantly thinking, blogging, reporting, about living God. They are indirectly thinking of Bhagawan. Ravana got salvation by thinking about Rama in the context of time and he was fortunate enough to be killed by Rama and breathe his last seeing lord in human form. It was treeta yuga. But in the age of kali, Lord has come not to punish but to uplift with love. Today man has both good and demonic qualities in him and it is devastating exercise to punish the evil. So god is with us spreading His love and transforming the mankind miraculously. He has not ignored those who stray from Him. It is His Love in action.

Bhagawan has said:

అట్టి పరమాత్మయను బొమ్మలాటగాడు

తాను జీవుల రంగాస్తాలానే నిలిపి

ఆడు ఆనాటి ఈనాటి ఆట జూచి

సుంత వర్ణించి కొంత సంతసముగనుడి...

Our scriptures said –

Nakarmana naprajaya dhanena thyagenaike Amrutatwa manushuh,
which can be roughly translated as one cannot attain liberation from neither from actions, strength of wealth or people but it is only by sacrifice. Man is social being and he cannot survive on his own. His dependency on society and nature is threefold and he is what today because of society in which he lives and nature he breathes for his survival. He struggle for his existence and get his gain out of same. Indian scriptures asks the man to payback something for the society by which he gained and indeed it is following till date in some way or the other in Indian society. Since the time immortal Indian society has philanthropy in its function. In course of time the facet of the same changed and at some point of time it was defaced and lost its value but it is still alive. Sacrifice for social cause or for good of others is the core value behind Indian philanthropic activities. It is not result oriented. Gate-Buffet initiated pledging portion of wealth for humanitarian works in recent times is the reveal of the same traditional Indian philosophy in present context with face lift.

In good old days to people used to pledge their one fourth of the income to the social causes, one fourth for their own consumption, one fourth for their future need and one forth as investment for their livelihood. The income pledge for the social cause was utilized to plant trees, constructing shelters, travelers’ bungalows, digging wells and other social works which may be an individual effort or by guilds. The process and type of works may differ from place to place but intention of pledging some portion for the society was same in the whole country. There are instance where individual and common efforts are made for noble causes in the history as well as in recent times in the whole country.

In most of the temples and other places of religious importance mid-day meals and suppers are offering to one and all without any distinction. They are collective effort which is working very sound without any assistance from the government. Usually the farmers share their portion to these places and others pledge for their maintenance without any compellation. Many philanthropists run educational institutions and provide free education with boarding and other amenities, superspeciality hospitals with free treatment without any distinction of caste-creed-gender-or any others, water facilities for the whole districts ,wholesome mid-day meals for schools, endowments-scholarships and many others to quote. All these things are done for the social cause by sacrifice keeping in mind without any paybacks.

Now a day’s MNCs are also putting their squirrel efforts in their own ways for social causes. Tata and Sons, Infosys, Wipro are some of those to name. Adaptation of villages for holistic and integrated development, hygiene, community medical camps, awareness programs and other efforts can be seen as contributions of them.

In Indian context, one can see neither result oriented nor responsive philanthropic activities but purely based on self satisfaction or selfless love in action. There are many instances where one can see philanthropy for the sake of name and fame but at large motivating force is love for society. It is part and parcel of livelihood and spontaneous in nature.

Awareness to pledge or payback something to society is recent thought in America and elsewhere in the world but one can trace the same in Indian soil since time immortal. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet in recent times came up with pledging for society. Core intent of the actions is similar to Indian thought but expressing in different mode. It is not spontaneous in nature but induced to their lives after some point of time. They have made certain limitations and scope for their target based approach for sustainability. As philanthropist they work in important and limited role. They have priorities and target based approach, responsibly and rigorously if necessary. Technological and scientific inputs are taken for the same if necessary. They motivated many Americans to do so by showing themselves as role models and it has shown good results. As the result many contributions are made globally for the sake of mankind. WHO, UNESCO, and other global organizations appreciated their leadership and result oriented intention of target based approach.

Sir Francis Bacon said that

Charity begins at home but should not end there.
Philanthropy etymologically means love for mankind. As the whole Indian context and in particular to Gate-Buffet model, philanthropy is all about sacrifice for good cause of society. They differ in their approach but purpose is same. Thus Gate-Buffet model of philanthropy is paradigm shift from Indian philanthropic thought.

  • Instead of placing the sound statesman in the aristocrat position , it is not anomaly that our politicians place a puppet or loyalist for nepotism. They enjoy prerogative status without any eligibility. Few were placed because of their caste, gender,cognomen and other parameters in consideration with loyalty.Vox populi shall not be entertain ; opinion of loyal paucity decides and shall force the people to accept.Glasnost shall be colored. Reservation rules the state but not the sine-qua-non of rectitude,liability, integrity and dexterity. Result is very clear i.e. decline in degree of growth.
  • After the position also they are staunch loyalist. Here loyalty makes the difference despising the national interest. In Indian polity we can find such loyalist in all stages. Indeed if one has to get a ticket he must be loyal to the party and party-men. After 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments instead of strengthening the democracy at root level , party loyalism bloomed up.
  • Today blunder of politics has rooted enough in almost every villages. Villages are nowadays much more interested in politics rather than agriculture and farming. Government is also least bothered about agriculture despite of some subsidies and minimum support price. But interested in formulating a policy to regulate and bring them to national politics.
  • One woman who was recently elected to village panchayat on the reservation was interviewed by media. Media correspondent asked her that what she will do in the coming years as a member of panchayat and she replayed politely that she became member to earn money and do her daughter's wedding.
  • Problem with political jokers is they get elected and do some legislation which became acts to abide. Ending with an anonymous quote on politicians :
    "Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason."

  • Ayurveda became dead science since Mougals and later by Britishers. Mougals patronage unani and Britishers did for allopathy siding ayurveda.Before it was core system of medicine of the land. But today it is alternative system of medicine. Government is least bother about Indian systems....
  • Its all about patronage to heritage of our land. Governmental is blind to our culture and heritage....washing off its hand by saying as communal...or else giving very least priority for the art forms of the land.Since independence no such constructive effort had been made.... so many dialects and languages, folk-arts, performing arts are in threatening stage and some of them had been extinct. Private Companies, Corporates are extending their hands for cultural fairs....and if they use the same platform for their marketing... their is nothing wrong their actions..... But we should appreciate their concern and social responsibility for the arts.....
  • I got a very interesting mail today which ended with the quote:
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears , the figure that she carries , or the way she combs her hair. It must be seen in her eyes , because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.
  • We are very expressive, joyful, festive........ we have festivals from birth to death and probably every moment in our lives.... Naming ceremony, First Morsel , Tonsuring , introducing alphabets... Upananayanam, Marriage, Conceiving, Baby showers, birth... anniversaries, death ceremony and annual death anniversary rites which binds socially and emotionally despite of individuality. Ugadi/New Yearday, Sri Ramanavami, Ashada ekadashi, Guru Purnima, Ganesha Chaturti, Varamahalakshmi Festival, Krishna Janmastami,Shravana Fridays & Saturdays,Padmanabha Vratam, Navaratri,Deepavali, Tulasi Puja, Kartika Mondays, Maaga Month, Vaikunta Ekadashi, Sankrati,Shivaratri, Holi, Gudiparv, Teej, Karwachout, Basant Panchami,Gangour,Poshbada,Rakshna bhandan, Baisaki,Bihu,Bhaiduj, Ravidas jayanti, Chaat Puja, Nanak Jayanti Guru Govind Jayanti ,Onam, Vishu, Sharad Purnima, Ramzan, Moharram, Bakrid, Ester, Chrismas, Good friday, Nauroj , mahavir Jayanti, Buddha Purnima, Chalio Sahib, Cheti Chand.....etc...They strengthen the unity in diversity enhancing social bonding. That's why psychiatric disorders prevalence in India is less when compared to other nations........
  • Devotional literature are evergreen parts of Indian languages .Samskrutam-Bharata & Ramayana, Kannada- Daasa sahitya & Vachanas, Telugu- Potana Bhagavatam, Burrakatha, Keertana and Samkeertana, Tamil-Thiruppavi Thirupugazh and Tirimurai, Malayam-Manipravalam, Marati-Abangs ,Jnaneshwari,Assami-Kotha Ramanayana, Gujarati-Marwari-Bhojpuri-Bhajans, Avadi-Ramcharitmanas... life is too little to read and understand the all but one can grasp the essence of all our culture and heritage by any one of them...
