[IAC#RG] SALUTING MY TEACHERS

It's not just on Teacher's day, but always that we need to remember our dear teachers for the role they play in moulding our future.

All through school and up to the completion of my Law degree I was tremendously blessed with very caring teachers who taught with hope, passion, motivation and a sense of direction.

Great teachers can make a big difference on our lives, for, besides making a lasting impression in the classroom they can cast a positive influence on our lives. My teachers were more than mere educators. They also played a role as friend, counselor and mentor.

Many of my dear teachers have over the years passed away but the fond memories will always linger. A regular teacher may merely direct us along the right path, but great teachers inspire and challenge us to carve out our path in life.

I shall always remain heavily beholden to all my teachers who imparted to me all their knowledge and guidance that has immensely helped me in all my, often lonely, crusades. To them all, ever so indebted, I shall always be.

Re: [IAC#RG] Arrest widespread of Pious Forgeries by reviving Vedas Truthfully- Relevance of Vedas to the Present Age

Sablok ji: Whenever you quote  any Vedic book,  kindly give the reference to the exact mandal,  verse and line of the text.  For example,  you wrote that Atharva Veda gave the exact time when humans were given souls.  I am interested in this from a comparative perspective and need to know in which chapter,  verse and line this occurs. Then we can check online versions of different Vedic books.

And what did that reference to pious forgeries mean? Whose forgeries,  for what purpose? And what is the connection with the arrests of poets,  writers and lawyers working for the voiceless downtrodden whom the state in collusion with big multinational  companies are dispossessing ?

Thank you,  Joya Roy

Rig Veda mentions that the greatest service to God is to spread the spirit of Vedas with honesty, straight-forwardness, without deceit of any kind, for all to enjoy true and spiritual happiness. By understanding the philosophy, metaphysics, knowledge and various models contained in the Vedas, we can perhaps find viable solutions to our present social, economic, political and religious problems.
Vedic metaphysics can save the mankind from all kinds of social, economic and other depressions. Strengthen Sanatan Dharma (the eternal religion) through revival of Vedas.
The followers of Vedic metaphysics can become paramjot- the carriers of Vedic divine light (knowledge)
 
Dear Spiritual Brothers and Sisters,
Subject: Vedas and their relevance to the present age.
 
Owing to utility of Vedic metaphysics to the mankind, UNESCO has accorded Heritage status to Vedas. These scriptures of yore explain comprehensively many divine, spiritual and material subjects and guidelines given there in can help in Universal Brotherhood (Viswa Bandhutva) and development of scientific temper.
Adi Grantha says, "Asankh grantha mukhi Ved path"- there are innumerable scriptures but study of Vedas is supreme. It also says, "OMKAR Ved Nirmayi"- Vedas were revealed by God- hence Vedas are Shruti.
 
Atharva Veda makes it clear when soul was provided to human beings, Vedic knowledge was revealed as human soul contains all the Vedic knowledge. Vedic metaphysicists (Rsis) and wise wandering sages (Munnies) through meditation communicated with their souls which are vachispatiah (i.e. human soul- Atma has a sound and can communicate with us) and acquired Vedic knowledge. Rig Veda tells us that soul was provided to human beings so that the purpose of human birth could be known to human beings.
 
Rig Veda further mentions the purpose of human birth is to assist the Vishwakarma (Supreme Reality/Architect) to assist Him in the maintenance of His Grand wondrous Design by following Rta- Cosmic laws of social, moral and physical order. Having created these laws (Rta) even God follows them sternly lest great harm is done to His Creation.
Some of these Rta are "as you sow so shall you reap", follow path of moderation, "Iddm nan mam"- nothing for self all for society (enlightened liberalism) and many others.
 
When human beings followed Vedic teachings and guidelines Vedic Sanatan Dharma (eternal religion) was spread beyond Caucasus, Prasava (Persia), Ariana (Iran), Indian sub continent, South Esat Asia JAVA, Samatra, Tashik Khand (Tashkand) etc.
Many Greeks, Parthians, Kushans and many others merged with this divine Dharma without any kind of conversion. Rig Veda mentions "Rtam, Satyam, Dharmmam" as Vedic Dharma. Rta-Cosmic Laws of social, moral and physical order are eternal truths (Satyam) and following these Laws (Rta) is Vedic Dharma.
 
Under the vehement effect of dreaded materialism of Charvakaas the followers of Sanatan Dharma started deviating from Vedic Metaphysics (Upanishadic part of Vedas), Buddhism overtook Sanatan Dharma and history tells us that Adi Sankracharya revived Vedas and Buddhism virtually vanished from India . The message of later Rsis/Swamis/Maharisis is very clear "Revive Veda and save the mankind from self destruction".  
Vedas for modern age
Our social interaction is limited to friends, relations etc but not to community so our houses are spotlessly clean and surroundings dirty as community welfare is never our Motto- Vedas take us to community welfare and "WE" Feeling.
2. In social service the concept of Success is difficult to define- so it is better to be a man of value than of success.
3. Research in social sciences and medical sciences has found that helping others not for recognition is good for heart. It is great way to exercise your heart and soul.
4. Vedas specifically guide us to TEACH (transparency, ethics, accountability, community and humanity welfare) principle. Most of the modern systems have failed in this regard.
5. Unless self rule at the grass root level is there in Democracy, the rulers tend to become autocratic, corrupt, hypocrite and tyrannical (Plato). There is no visible movement for swaraj- self rule in India.
Ishta theory of Vedas describes paths could be different so long as these paths aim at the welfare of mankind and other animate and inanimate life. Vedas do not consider matter as inert and explain in a large number of hymns that matter has unsuspected vitality. All religions should aim at unity in diversity i.e. (should lead to universal brotherhood-viswa bandhutva), global family of the same One God (vasudhaivan kutumbkam), global trade and global market for the material and spiritual welfare of mankind. God being formless, ineffable and self-created, avoid explaining God through categories, substance, activity, quality and relationship. HE is beyond cognition, perception of human senses, logic of mind and intellect. Words recoil to explain the Supreme Reality. Only true and harmonised material, spiritual and divine knowledge (para jnan) can unite all religions to compete with each other for the welfare of mankind.
            For the theists with material and intellectual knowledge, multiplicity of gods is seen in the form of idols, icons and incarnation of God as a human being. Some such individuals even find God/god as partly a man and partly a woman (Ardhanari Iswaran). Any individual who starts moving towards para jnan (higher knowledge), all arguments start and end at One formless and ineffable God who is Sat, Chit, Anand - the only reality, supreme consciousness, and bliss.
What is admirable in the Vedas is that their powerful and comprehensive philosophy was created for all ages and for the entire mankind. This philosophy was made available at a time when most parts of the world had hallucinations of ghosts getting out of dead bodies, when shadow was interpreted as the soul, spirit, ghosts, and the soul was considered to be getting out of the body at night during dreams. It was the period when the concept of inner and outer world was highly confused. Out of fear complex the ancient man worshipped snakes, animals, plants, and clouds by creating millions of gods with form. When in most parts of the world the religion of animism was wide spread, the Vedic metaphysics was getting developed in the areas which now lie in the states of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, Pakistan and some Northern parts of India. Arya Vrata was the land spreading up to Parshavas ( Persia ), Ariana (later Iran ) and this land was not a fairy tale country, since the Vedas nowhere describe mythology as part of metaphysics.
The Dark Age or Kali yuga has the predominance of avarnas and vritras. In this Age owing to spread of only material and intellectual knowledge bereft of divine and spiritual knowledge, the predominant features are superstitions, unscientific outlook, blind faith, hypocrisy, naked selfishness and wide spread corruption. Fake gurus and god-men who get hallucination that they are the incarnation of various gods on this earth, multiply. Thus Vedic metaphysics meant for the guidance of human beings of this Dark Age is largely ignored. However, the study of Vedas would reveal that Vedic gurus (Gu- darkness and Ru- to dispel) are the dispellers of both inner and outer darkness. They are more like Socrates, Mencius, St Augustine, Immanuel Kant, Sankrachrya, Guru Nanak and swami Daya Nanda and do not bear any resemblance to the modern godmen, gurus, babas, tantriks and swamis.
 
A perusal and study of "Glimpses of Vedic Metaphysics" on the Internet can give more details on the subject. The seekers of Vedic knowledge can access this book through website http://www.sabhlokcity.com/metaphysics/ OR through google.com/ yahoo.com/ lulu.com. Search for the Book.
With warm regards,
Yours spiritual brother,
Prem Sabhlok
 
 
Vedas contain many other subjects like:
1. Vedas explain scientifically divine, spiritual and material knowledge.
2. Material economics not based on inert matter
3. Purpose of life and human Birth
4. Why Vedas are referred as Shruti(Heard/directly revealed through human soul)
5. Education system for allocating four divine Varna
6. Science is useful but scientific temper is more important.
7. Universal brotherhood, global family
8. Equality of men and women,
9. All religions to compete for the welfare of mankind- they could vary due to local conditions for environment, culture etc
10 Tri-ani-pada (three bodies in one)
11. Apriori- Knowledge
12. Concept of Moderation
13. Iddam nan mmam (nothing for self all for society)
14. Earth is not a quarry for exploitation
15. No Caste system based on birth
16. Spiritual science against present egoistic commercial spiritualism
17. Rtam, Satyam Dharmmam.
and many other subjects.

[IAC#RG] MANOHAR PARRIKAR HAS JUST ANOTHER FOUR DAYS TO COME CLEAR ON CASINOS

After so many missed dates and deadlines, let us hope that Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar finally keeps to his assurance made in the recent session of the Goa Legislative Assembly that the Casino Policy would be announced by 31st August.

While as the Leader of the Opposition Manohar Parrikar had vociferously branded Casinos as a "social evil" and had called them "dens of vice". While spearheading that agitation against Casinos, Manohar Parrikar had vowed to make sure that all Casinos were thrown out of Goa if the BJP came to power. But in a dramatic U turn in March 2012 after usurping power, the BJP has gone all out to promote, shield and increase the number of Casinos in the name of promoting Tourism. Goa has been always a known tourist destination without being converted into a Las Vegas. Due to lack of vision and sheer greed of those in power, Goa's Tourism industry is today in shambles and dire straits with quality and high-end Tourists keeping away from venturing into what was once the Paradise of the East.     

 

Manohar Parrikar while branding the revenue from Casinos as "bad" money had declared in the Goa Legislative Assembly that the revenue from Casinos would be kept in a separate account and utilized only on homes for the aged and those suffering from Alzheimer's. On that revenue earned by the government from Casinos, Manohar Parrikar had firmly stated "We don't want to use that money to buy computers for students. We don't need that money in the budget". Addressing the Goa Legislative Assembly on 7th August 2012, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had also categorically and confidently stated that he did not require the revenue from Casinos for Goa's developmental works.

 

On 10th October 2013 Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had assured the Goa Legislative Assembly that all the Casinos would be removed out of the River Mandovi by September 2015. in the River Mandovi. Does the government have to be told the definition of off shore?

 

Ironically the RSS which sets and gears the agenda for the BJP is known to be against gambling but their now convenient silence on Casinos is deafening.  The BJP has fallen in passionate love with the Casino brigade who are now getting the government's abundant patronage and overwhelming support. For the dismal number of jobs created for Goans by Casinos, the overall damage that is being inflicted to the State is irreversible. While the BJP is feasting and making merry with the abundant moolah flowing from the Casinos, Goa has sadly become the country's gambling hub with the allied vices of Prostitution and the Narcotics trade also flourishing by the day while the Crime rate is on a steep rise.

[IAC#RG] Corrupt Mice on the Moon

When IAC observed on our mailing list that Shri Modi was akin to a "corrupt mouse who roared" over the Rafale deal, it took the "Opposition" almost 2 years to raise the matter in Parliament.

IAC hopes those CPM geriatrics shuffle slightly faster up to Parliament to discuss the latest comedy antics of  "The corrrupt mouse on the moon".

NB: Has anybody else cottoned on that our PM's Chief Financial Advisor(s) are evidently old British comedy, from the 1960's, film buffs - borrowing their outrageous ideas for further hilarious sequels to "The Mouse That Roared" to inflict on us ?

[IAC#RG] PANAJI’S WHITE ELEPHANT

Panaji's first multi-level car park which was inaugurated amidst much fanfare on 31st October 2016 by Manohar Parrikar as Defence Minister is idling for almost two years. The foundation of that project with an estimated cost of 21 crores was laid on 24th October 2012 by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and after missing many deadlines was finally completed at an official figure of a whopping 35 crores.  While it now remains as a white elephant it is an unpardonable criminal waste of public funds. Those who planned this much needed utility but at a very wrong location must be brought to book and punished for having carelessly and possibly very intentionally burdened the tax payer. 

It's high time this abandoned Car park is put to some alternative use. Perhaps converted into a Animal shelter to house those hordes of straying cattle and dogs which will at least make Panaji safer for all. It would also be a right step towards making Goa's capital a Smart City.

John F. Kennedy had said "We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation"
