A Hope over a Hope..

It all started with an old War between the two emperors, Muslim emperor Babar and the Hindu King of Chittorgarh called Rana Sangram Singh. The latter was defeated by Babar who then in-charged his general Mir Banki as a Viceroy.  Mir Banki came to Ayodhya in 1528 and built the Mosque. Ayodhya, as believed by Hindu’s is the birthplace of ancient Hindu God Rama, an avatar of Vishnu. Mir Baqi after building the mosque on the site of the destroyed temple, called it Babri Masjid , named after his master Babar.The Mughal Emperor Babar, dramatically modified the exisiting Hindu temple and the mosque was built in its place. Years and centuries passed by with peace and harmony, a movement was launched in 1984 by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP party) who wanted to rebuild the Ram temple. After years of debate and controversary surrounding the place that was conquerred by the mughal emperor Babar or the place as said the birth place of the Hindu-god, was demolished in 1992 by protestors who were just paid to be a part of the rally who under strict orders and under high security were asked not to harm the Mosque. Politicians like L.K.Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi were alleged to be influential in the demolition. The Bhartiya Janta Party was believed to be the planners of the tragedy.We fell in the hands of dirty politics. We lost all our beloved people. Question is not, how many muslims died or how many Hindus. The concern is how many we lost. We are dreaming of becoming the most pwerful country of the World without getting united. One man army would not make a difference. We are fools. When would we understand that wolves(politicians) cannot drink the cup of humanity’s milk and turn into lambs. It's a bad, cruel, unrepentant political world. If we still keep counting on the Government’s verdict on the same,then everything is going to get repeated from the past. Again we will lose our people and all the government would do is pay  `1lac as relief money to the relatives of the dead, the blame game would start again. BJP will blame Congress for having a soft links with Islamic terrorists, the Prime Minister will affirm faith in country's secured growth,the media will get all the needed footage to capture the burning images for their TRP’S ,eyebrows would be raised on Pakistani based terrorist groups. But the sad fact is that the every  tragedy that has happened and is about to happen, if this goes on, then, it will just kill the soul called Peace of the nation. Let us just move on from the saddened past. Lets just spread Peace and stop violence. Let us rub all the rumours which come our way and stop them from spreading everywhere. We need hands to build India and take it to the next level of humanity and brotherhood. Let us just believe that “Together we can and will make a huge difference”. Love All. “Peace”

Big Question on Hare Rama Hare Krishna...

 Are we religious or are we only pretending to be indians??? Its tough to get Indian visit Visa. People from other countries add India to their "Dream-Destinations" list and want to know about our country "The-India". Do we respect our culture and our tradition the way the outsiders think we do??? A lot of questions go into my mind on Foreign take on Indian religion and an Indian take on Indian religion.
Hindu saints who wear Dhoti-Kurta's and Beads all over the neck are trying to pertain the holy tradition so that the coming generations do not feel or experience the extinction of our mythological belongings. At the same time The young indian today is much more aware and is keeping the tradition alive by carrying the ethnic clothing like the linen kurta's and pyjama's,trendy jhola's with Om Namah Shivay prints just like Lord Shankar's Tiger-skinned jhola's.
This attracts the West towards East. We see expats (very well known as foreigner's) all over india wearing indian Avatars and exploring Incredible India and we are the first ones to admire them on their looks on carrying our clothes well. At the same time when 'We'-ourselves wear these Indo-Western outfits which have been originated from our mythological ancestors;we get weird faces looking at us and unexpected comments and that is when we come to know that our society itself does not accept us 'We being Ourselves'.
So what if the Sadhu's and Saints smoke Hashish like Lord Shiva used to??? So is that the only reason that we wearing our own ritual stuff  has become a Tabboo in our own society??? The Holy slogans of OM NAMAH SHIVAY and HARE RAMA HARE KRISHNA has become so much of a drama today. Just because we are Indo- Western does not mean we dope around with life. Or do we???
Today, there is a worldwide confederation of more than 400 centres, communities, NGO's (in a single City of India) all fighting to keep our traditional Clothing alive and are aiming for self-sufficiency. There is a rapid expansions in terms of numbers of membership in ISCKON within Eastern Europeon People driving towards Indian culture and India...the most genuinely Hindu of all the many Indian movements in the West will eventually spread and India will lose its own identity. Can we do something??? The answer is we are Cowards again.

The Candle-light Event...

Post 26/11 Mumbai attacks we always thought no alien can harm our nation ever again as we had thought that we had seen the wost terror attacks that could ever happen... A shadowing evening in Pune on 13/2 at 7.00 pm changed our thoughts again.
Why the daily routines and situations had to change that day for every one who was affected in the blast??? Why P. Sundari ,22, had to come from bangalore to Pune to die ??? Why Anik Dhar got a job in Mumbai on 12th feb and had to celeberate the same in the bakery??? Why Anik's sister Anindyee Dhar had to ask her English literature lecturer the meaning of DEATH in the last lecture she attended before heading towards heaven??? Why did the same happen with Shilpa Goenka,23 from Kolkata who hired a rickshaw driver called Shankar Pansare,40, to drop them both in Almighty's hands??? Why Saeed Abdul Ghani,26, an Iranian Student of Symbiosis aspired to study in Pune which eventually had to lose the war he fought with his burns??? Why Nadia Materinia,37, an Italian had to lose her life in late 30's when she deserved to live the most of her life??? and above all why Gokul Nepali the most jolly waiter at German Bakery had to serve people that day when the bakery is SELF-SERVICED??? Had'nt they followed their daily routine of not serving people and gokul would have never touched that bag which exploded the bakery... but then there comes the slogan ATITHI DEVO BHAVAH!!! Gokul did no wrong...
The totally cosmopolitan place where the most beautiful people, all intermingled and shared much joy over the years had lost in the thick smoke of defeat to unwanted acts.
House-full of Germans ,Iranians, Indians and most of the Oshoites present at our beloved German Bakery had never ever thought that they were having the last breakfast of their lives.
We just griefed and went back to our routines. We started blaming our own people,suspecting every guy who wore a beard , back-packed and walked the street. What can we do to stop these un-ethical gestures thrown at us every now and then by the Political World? Why are we worried about Global Warming when the happenings around are warming our blood when we see our beloved innocent people dying in the hands of Dirty Politics. The question is why? Are we supposed to question the system or are we supposed to take an initiative on protecting ourselves? Lighting candles in the memory of dead would not help. It would just give handsome business to Candle factories. Jaago India Jaago slogans are not here just for the heck of it but it wants the Young India to do the rest to be the Best. Save Candles Save Yourself Save India.
