Friends... and... Partners...

Friends... and... Partners...

Last Sunday, I was watching Shri RaBa on a TV channel.
I have great respect for him. Wish, we had many more like him.

I readily agree with each single thing he said.

He opinionated -
"Those who love the country, MUST want friendship with America."

( Not sure if "want" or "desire" is the appropriate terminology to be used, here.  Just translating. )

Now...
If anyone has read or understood that I have an opposite view. Let me korrect them.

I hold the same line of thought. The same ideology. Period.

<<< <<< <<< <<< <<< <<< <<< <<< <<< <<< <<< <<< <<<

You say - "What... ??? Then, what are you up to ... ? "

I state -
You see, I am sometimes a contrarian. A maverick. Someone who wants to swim upstream.
Hold a divergent view/ view-point. Who does not mind going it alone.

Now...
That's sometimes a strength. Sometimes a weakness.

And, so... inspite of all the endless provocations, urgings, mind-games, etc. - I chose to remain silent.
 
Especially so during Dec, 2014 and Jan, 2015.
In any way, there was nothing to be coming from my side till 15th Jan; for sure.

I am no mice or rat that can be lured out. With whatever. Means - WITH WHATEVER !!!
Saw me as jittery ? Depressed ! Big mistake, I say.

I had been looking forward to some unexplained questions/ answers.
Basically, seeking a few answers - first and foremost.

In fact, I have patiently AWAITED that someone makes a very bad mistake.
And... I successfully discover what I knew MUST be there.

You see - the elephant has been always there in the room yet I saw it NOT.
Now, I see it.

Mammoth BLUNDER, I state. Nay, Gargantuan...

Those-so-ever, directly or indirectly involved in any which manner in ALL this - will understand the full implications by "a certain" year from now.
They have no clue what awaits them, going forward. ( Clue : is other-worldly, for sure. )

NOTE THIS. REMEMBER THIS. ALWAYS.

Know this... Understand this... ( be condemned to ) Live with this.

Btw... the very worst mistake to be made now can NEVER surpass what has/ is been done.

>>> >>> >>>

So, in effect, I maintained silence before Prez BO came and even there-after. Till the 4th or 5th of Feb.

I had NIL intention to pass views on mine or the Captain's blog. Last time I
visited Captain's blog was in mid-DEC, 2014. Then on the 6th of Feb, 2015.

But then, meanwhile, I had discovered the elephant in the room.

>>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> 

Now... coming to the point...

Was delighted to hear Prez BO speak. He, no doubt, is a brilliant orator.
Never knew he is such an outstanding orator.

But then, he went on to say something that did not gel with my line of thinking.
He talked of "... the best partnership of the 21st century".

Was overtly dismayed to hear that. Felt let down.
Did this belittle to nought the tremendous contributions made by the 3 million
strong Indian diaspora to the American economy, culture, way of life, etc. ?
To note - these people have added trillions of USD to the American economy.

Had Prez BO spoken of "... enduring friendship"...
I would have been most delighted. Would have rolled back all my stances and future positioning. And, perhaps all these posts would have never ever come.

And, when he referred to Russia. He should have considered at least once that Russia is considered by many Indians as an enduring friend.
As, Russia sticks with us through thick and thin. We MUST need reciprocate. Period.

( Previously, I tried... tried my best to gel into the Indo-US way. Could not.
  Now, I have put my bet on the RICS basket, primarily. )

At any rate- we know that a friendship is best desirable than an alliance.
And, an alliance serves better than any partnership.
Even though it is, but, to be the best partnership.

Partnership smacks of, but, give and take, at best. Not sure, how this could lead to an
alliance or result in friendship all through circa 2099 or, thereafter ?

Let me not be misconstrued. I have refrained from re-appearance on this blog and put forth views.
As, I do state things up front. And, to the point. I have open palm policy.

I would appreciate if Prez BO were to re-consider his intent, in light of what I stated.

In that case, I have succeeded. I'll bow to him.

As an Indian, I would rather have US as the most trusted friend and partner till 2099 and even after... rather than "the best partnership..."
This is actually coming from my heart.

Of course, without compromising in any-which way on the RICS alliance, that is.
And, of course Indo-Russian friendship.

Hope, I have been able to convey my point across.

Thanks !!

Repeated Hacks, OLD LOGS...

Discovered the following instances of irregularities on my PC, previously observed AND logged by me.

Right during the fourth quarter of 2013... onwards till Q1 2014.

Must you understand... ???


1) On 16-10-2013 ( NOTE -> 2013 )

   VirTool     : Win32 / Obfuscator.XX ( Themida License )
   Alert Level : Severe
   Status      : Active


2) On 15-11-2013; Friday. ( NOTE -> 2013 )

   VirTool     : Win32 / Obfuscator.XX ( Themida License )
   Alert Level : Severe
   Status      : Active


3) Noticed the following on 25-NOV-2013 ( NOTE -> 2013 )

   One of the web browsers on my PC, which should be having the latest version as - Opera 18.XX;

   INSTEAD has Opera 12.16 !!


Precautionary Step : Had to get the Operating system and the antivirus re-installed, patched and updated within a week's time. One day wasted on this.


4) DEC, 2013 ( NOTE -> 2013 )

On my wife's social media account...
 
Under "Active Sessions" ...

Login location : New Delhi, India.

ON the Dates : 01-12-2013 AND 04-12-2013

ILLEGAL login - TWICE. Using a mobile phone having WinME as the OS.

Knew then and there only ... something is cooking big time.
 
Someone is hellbent on cooking something... big time !!


5) Early Jan and Feb, 2014

  There were 3-4 instances of the comp. monitor flickering wildly.

  Incident spread over a week, 10 day period. Then, again, in Feb, 2014.


6) On 15-JAN-2014 ( WednesDay )

   There is windows software update. Then, after RESTART, got the following POP-UP MESSAGE ...


   Windows Cannot find -

   "D5765674-46E6-54D3-A380-4F46F3-EFAFCC.exe"

   "Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again."

   The start-up process hung up at this time.

   NOTE --> Had to reset the comp., in order to force normal restart.


Also, again, found the following application ( inexplainable ) in the Windows Task Manager -

Akamai Net-Session client -> "netsession_win.exe"


7) On 15-FEB-2014 ( SaturDay )

Wildly flickering comp. monitor display observed.


8) On 16-FEB-2014 ( SunDay ).

PC startup problem observed. Monitor/ display paralyzed.
Comp. boot-up fails and the display is blank.

The anti-virus software crashes with the following error -> OXCOOOOOOD


Very first time observed. 
The next day - noticed wildly flickering comp. screen, yet again.


9) On 21-FEB-2014 ( Friday )...

NOW I understand this. A BIGGER, STURDIER CAT moved in-house.

HAS very SHARP eye-sight and superfine ears.

Did not noticed it then ( failed my observation ). Could not find out till recently.
But knew, it should be there. The ubiquitous CAT !!

I am near MAD NOW. Not sure how best to get rid of this CAT from mE bedroom.


10) 14-MARCH-2014

    Got the error on my PC : -

    Error : ox80070057 : The parameter is incorrect.

11) Third week of March, 2014...

    My desi anti-virus programme FAILED to update on THREE consecutive days. 20th to 22nd.
    So much for going DESI. This is no mean anti-virus... it is a notch higher... AN internet security.

    And, it found files to be quarantined... for the first time. What files... ? No idea. These
    files were uploaded to the support server !

    Rest of the stuff, I have already put forth in the May, 2014 post " Repeated Hacks, what NeXt"


NOTE - 
Overtly concerned, I raised the incident #11 to Capt AV. 

Muff Captain, as he is.
He refused to publish my concerns ( in-house messages / comments ) on his blog site on two occasions( by the 23rd MARCH; 2014 ). But you see that he is wise enough to publish another message/ link that I had passed along ONLY for his perusal. And, once he read that post; that's it - it's purpose was up and over. And, I had removed the post thereafter. I have written mostly for the Capt. ( I know the Capt. will read this, as well. )

But then he puts the link on HIS FLASHY BILLBOARD - A mere poor postcard coming from a smallish catamaran.

And, has been trying to pull me up with endless mind-games !!


12) 02-APRIL-2014 ( WednesDay )

Some ostensibly suspicious files ( perhaps ) noticed under the home folder of my Opera web browser.
I uninstalled the browser. Re-installed it, again.



SYNOPSIS -

Having been accustomed to using PCs' since quite a while, I am overtly surprised as these instances
kept on coming, one after the other.

Hey ... what's the idea ? What motive, intent, motivations ???

NOTE -> This post was due out in MAY, JUNE 2014. Most of it. Purposefully delayed it.

 
...End of Logging...

On GM Seeds/ Food/ Crops

ON GM Seeds/ Food/ Crops

Need to be plain and outright straight forward now -

We must understand why China and Russia have stopped the GM food/ crop/ seeds. I'll provide my take here...

Read in Capt AV's blog about fungus implanted in our wheat crops. Across Punjab ( India and Pakistan ) as well.
That had basically wound its way from Africa.

My take-
GM crop can be used as a tool to bring nation states onto knees, at some point of time, going forward, if need be.
For African states this can be much earlier.

With a plethora of 1500+ patents. Very advanced R&D spanning 30-50 years. Where do we stand or measure up ?

Do we know how does a genetically modified seed/ crop behave/ interact with the soil, water & the environment ?
Can we say with enough clarity about the effects on the micro and nano- organisms that have their world of
interdependencies interwoven in their DNAs ? Is there a study on this spanning decades ? Are we capable of this ?
There are innumerable questions that needs to be asked and answered. Only an expert can get into it. But then -
the experts are bound to vary.

Also, the versions of imported manure and insecticides/ pesticides could keep on changing every few years.
Same for the seeds.

There is every possibility that as the GM crops spawn the globe - the underlying soils could undergo permanent changes.
Possibility that the native natural crop yield - is gradually pared down. The crop yield could come down drastically.

This is, but, a minor concern. MAJOR being that -

The import of the GM seeds, manure, insecticides/ pesticides will cost the exchequer a lot. And, is bound to grow by
leaps and bounds.
When a nation state is fully dependant on GM crop. The prices of the base inventories ( seeds, etc. ) can be ratcheted
up at will. Economies of nation states could be siphoned off enormous amount of wealth.

Say - what about USD 10-50-100-300-600-2000-9000 billion of imports some 5-10-15-20-25-30-35 years down the line ?

( Just to give a rough idea. )

The farmer suicides will sky rocket ten to twenty to forty fold.
Else the Govt. must subsidise ( basicallly - pay up for ) the GM inventory. There could be massive agrarian uprisings ?

We must need go green, natural and organic ASAP. In the sub-continent. We may have a huge export potential going
forward for our organic produce.

NOTE THIS. MARK THIS.

Also note...
It it possible that colder countries will reel mostly under the impact of the GM crop. We could have a huge export
potential down the line - for fresh, natural, green ORGANIC produce.

OF... flies, bees, wasps and hornets

OF... flies, bees, wasps and hornets

There were some way-wards living/ dreaming of living in the medieval times; somewhere near our neighborhood, our backyard.. What a blunder !

...

And, there were some mango flies in their neighborhood.
You see - some people are allergic to big mango flies.

So, these flies got royally kicked on their butt. They meta-morphed into BEES...
Again, these bees got kicked. Some died, remaining meta-morphed into WASPS...
Now... the wasps got kicked. Many died. The remaining metamorphosed into HORNETS...

BTW- Ever kicked a hornet ? Metamorphosed one ?

Hornets/ wasps/ bees/ flies are to be swatted one by one. Requires close quarters engagement.

Now, we got hordes of hornets in our backyard. Ever increasing. The smart guys who effected these changes now want to leave. Want us to manage the hornets; or, the hornets to manage us ... ???

What do we do ? What options we have... ?


( Auto-suggestion )

Time to chalk out a joint or trilateral strategy ?


Else...

Be ready to play into other's hands. What we have been doing all these 7 odd decades.

Hope near at hand issues do not scuttle long-term future !

...

They saw, They came And ...

They saw, They came And ...


As, I observe the happenings around the world...

There is a recurring thought that resonates my mental framework, Goes here...

They went for my enemies, one by one... I was overtly overjoyed... overwhelmed, I always turned my face in glee. ( Was it bliss ? )

They went for those for whom I cared not, one by one... I did not care to notice at all... I was dispassionately aloof, as always.

They came for my friends and near friends, one by one... I had NO courage to muster strength and pitch along a fight... my heart bled as I saw him/ them go down.

They came for me, bit by bit... and... you see, there was NO one remaining... but me.... as I went down.

COMPRENDO !!! ???

YEP ??? or, NYET ???

Repeat, FYI

Since early June, 2014 I have chosen to be away from the ship.

Captain may not best know why. We may differ on this, so let me put forth a few points -

1) Being on ship, getting to understand / learn stuffs and occasionally engaging with the Captain has been an engrossing and quite a TIME consuming affair.

I had to sooner or later take a call to slowly disengage what became an addiction.
( viz. visiting the ship ). It had a huge TIME overhead for me.

Major issue is - Captain seems to be knowing everything. I hardly know the Captain.
I have been guessing, all along, at best.


2) With Capt's take on - "psycho-analysis" as a dig at my supposed intention,
motive and motivations. ( Even I heard NaMo using the term "Manovaigyaanik Vishleshan")
I understood that there is some issues somewhere in my explaining things or in the way the Captain seems to interpret me, or both.


Incidentally, this also meant that I could be open to being run down, brow beaten in future as well. In case Captain mis-interprets me again. Clear frequency mis-match observed.


I did not feel the urge remaining there to explain how I saw that specific tele-serial to be place for some innovation / renovation to be the best trend-setting teleserial.
I could have tried to put forth my views. I refrained. I'll do so someday soon.

Btw-
Ultimately, KS and team have gone the way I knew he/ they would for sure.

( Same with the "Solanki / Hemu" stuff. )

3) Observed that the Captain seemed to be disconcerted by some vibes or some coincidences not to his liking, once in a while.

Also, observed that someone had a penchant for putting foot in the wrong places.

Noting this and other pressing concerns, I have decided to be away from Captain's ship.

Have conscientiously been trying to enforce De-addiction. Only suspicion is - in case I keep visiting ship again and again then it becomes a regular affair. And, I am bound to exchange words with the Captain, sooner or later.
And, then it becomes a regular time engaging affair.

Exception has been -
once / twice in end July, 2014. And, once / twice during 1st / 2nd week of Aug, 2014 . Then, mid Dec, 2014. Only briefly.

So, since I have written only for the Captain. Captain writes for everyone.
As such, I decided to discontinue writing. You see - loss of appetite.

At moments, I had been livid. In those circumstances engaging with the Captain would not have been conducive, anyway. I could be prone for a slip up. It would have meant there could be loss of decorum aboard the ship. Least desirable.
I would never do it.

...

So, decided to leave straight into frigid waters. Though, I have found a ( this ) catamaran with next to nil supplies.

And, being busy with mundane affairs - I have decided to keep away from the Captain's ship.
For, I have got this feeling that he wants it that way. Is it possible that I am wrong ?
Not sure !


BTW-

1.
( The NSA, via FISA. And,...
  the NTROs' CMS would have laid threadbare my digital life/ info. to start with.
  Do I foresee a lots of additions and deletions ? Maybe. Maybe not. )

2. MaRo -> what 2-month old wish fulfilled ? What did you achieve @ 02 / 04 - Aug - 2014 ?

Currency as a commodity

Currency as a commodity


Few months back, NaMo opined on TV - "FDI chahiye... Dollar aaye... Yen aaye... kya farak padta hai... ?"

Whether this was meant to be a poser ( not sure ) ?

Well... it means A LOT !!

So... let me elucidate... belows...


Several countries around the world have come out of slavery / colonization some 60-80 years back, we understand.

Do we understand this right, I ask ?

One of the principal and primary motives of colonial powers was erosion of the wealth / capital in all its form and formats to overseas locations.

Is it possible that even after 60-90 years we have yet to understand, realize that the same continues till date ?
Though in a different form, format and scale ?


It is not the case of old wine - old bottle. Rather, it very well could be -

new wine - new bottle; OR,
new wine - old bottle; OR,
old wine - new bottle.  ?

Or, is it partly a combination/ concoction of all the above items ?

Not sure ? Well... think... !! Think it out !!


We seem to be much content with the idea of self-governance, self-rule. Gloating in tune with the mostly implanted MSM.
Are our views, opinions and aspirations, etc. guided/ motivated by the MSM to a great extent ? Possibly.

Are we blissfully unaware of the system that is in vogue ? Possibly.

Finance/ Markets are not my domain, yet there are several questions that arise and I seem to have no clear answers.


So, have a few set of questions/ suggestions rather than any statements to make... as belows...


Have we failed to understand that major world CURRENCIES have become commodities ? Having intrinsic attributes of demand AND supply ?

Is demand and supply throttled /constricted to get the profits out of the INVESTMENTS ( say, FDI ) ? Is inflation and interest rates but complex manageable tools to profitably aid return on investment ( RoI ) ? Is there a pattern to it ?

Do not know - how, why, where and when ?

And, is the economic downturn periodically engineered ? An effort to reap in the FRUITS of the Investments ?

Throttle, control or constrict the flow of capital, as such ? Particularly a specific set of currencies in the global financial markets.
Say - in particular a specific currency. The de facto currency reserve.

Is that the moot idea ? the real motive, motivations behind all these crises we see around us ?


Now...
Effectively, has the world wealth of ( say, imaginary ) USD 04 trillions in early 1930s grown to ( say, imaginary ) USD 900 trillion today ?
While the world population has grown. There is growth in inflation, as well. Almost all the currencies have depreciated and lost value.
Some, much more than many others.


Is there any truth in this - richest people, mega-corps, etc. that held 20-30 % of world wealth now hold > 55-70 % , over the last 70-90 odd years ? ( read somewhere )

How is this possible ? Is it by controlling/ constricting/ managing the demand/ supply of petro products ?
The huge market for ICT products & services ? By controlling the demand/ supply of defense products and wares ?
By means of bio-engineered GM crops and seeds ?

Basically control/ regulate the pricing, demand and supply of these ?

I would bet... yes.


Now... again...

In effect, when the nett quantum of a currency in circulation and in reserve grows - the nett wealth of other nations denominated in that same ( reserve ) currency dwindles. Thus the nation state gains/ holds a bit more of the same currency. While the TOTAL quantum of the same capital ( reserve currency ) has grown out of bounds. Is this the norm since the past 60-80 years ?

This, in effect, dilutes the effective nett annualized wealth gain as also the wealth ( say, currency reserves ) holdings of a nation ?
Is this, but, true ?

Capital ( Other reserve currencies ) have been used to mop up the wealth around the globe. With... gay abandon.

(C)overt economic/ financial/ military wars have been engineered to wreak havoc on economies, nations and currencies.
Affected nations go 5-10-20 years back in development index. And, the war mongering developed nations keeps moving on.

Net effect is - developing nations keep on importing arms, technology, medicines, etc. from the developed nations.
We get poorer. The only option we have seen - we export our best source of the capital ( capital in its best form ) to the developed nations. As well as our minerals, ores, etc.

Are we into the mode of moving into perpetual subservience ( => slavery ) ? Would think so ? NO. NOT.

If so, how do we manage to get out of this ?

In spite of all this knowledge - we want to have wars and/ or proxy-wars. Are we smart or foolish enough ?

DO WE NEED "A FEW MIS-ALIGNED SET OF PEOPLE AT THE TOP/ HELM" TO DECIDE, DETERMINE AND ETCH OUT OUR COLLECTIVE FATE ?

DO WE HAVE SANE HEADS, WHO SEE THE LIGHT, IN SHORT SUPPLY ?


We have not seemed to have learnt much from centuries of slavery and abject, brutal subservience.

That means - are we doomed for perpetual subservience on account of some set of people who call the shots in an establishment ?
Can we suspect that there could be some elements/ advisors with unknown motives to the rulers'/ leaders of the day ?

Even the rulers/ leaders have, sometimes, lop-sided vision arising out of hind-sight. They are politicians first AND/ OR military leaders first.

Is this not possible that if someone were part of a military leadership - they would have to design wars to inflate their collective ego or for letting old wounds to heal. Or, for shelling out old arms/ armaments in order to purchase new ones.
Also, to get fundings to design, develop ( R & D ) new lethal ones.

Narrow-minded vision of things ?

It's high time - we all must think about this and redeem our collective future.


ON FDI...


Capital in the form of investment is used for two major purposes in-house; either as an -
a) investment, OR
b) expenditure.

The primary motive of those who invest is to reap in the profits of their investment, in a certain time frame.

Now, we see that...
There's a need for FDI worth USD $ 5 trillions over the oncoming 5 years ( someone predicts. Perhaps CII ).
This implies that we could be in need of USD $ 1 trillion per year worth of FDI every year for the duration of the NDA rule.

What immediate/ medium-term/ long-term economic growth this generates MUST be clearly thought out/ designed/ derived at.
At, the end of the day, we got to pay back the investment with the "fruits of investment". That is nothing but our national wealth.
It is purported to be siphoned offshore. Period.

Argentina defaulted recently ? ( if I recall correctly ).

One vital approach for policy makers would be to try to balance out any/ all infusion of FDI. MUST we need to source it
from several nations/ currencies/ currency reserves ? Diversifying the demand/ supply basket from diverse currencies ? In case, we can.
Is this at all feasible ?

This way, we MAY be ABLE to control the flow of capital the way we may want to ?
Is there a WIN-WIN mechanism that allows us to do this ?

Here, is it imperative to have more control over the corporate houses, Govt. institutions, etc. that needs to source FDI ?
So, that they MUST diversify the source of FDI.

There must be a centralized think-tank/ body that acts as a CHOWKIDAAR ?

This (SH/C)OULD be a national security issue, as well.

Those in the helm would understand MUCH better. As, a layman, I have my concerns no matter how-so-ever-much insignificant.
Need to air them. This could be vitally pertinent.

Not to forget that many corporate houses/ bigwigs and those that go in for foreign collaborations have a direct say in the manner in which they tend to decide on the quantum of FDI and how/ why/ what they are able to source it.

Our NatSec agencies must be able to regulate these elements lest they undermine our economic security.
Once economic security is undermined - we know this, all the other facets/ aspects of security are exposed to be undermined.


...

PEACE, PROGRESS, PROSPERITY, PLENTITUDE = PEACE

Noting that -

PEACE => PROGRESS => PROSPERITY => PLENTITUDE => PEACE - is pretty much a CYCLICAL affair/ process.


Shall we understand that the strength of what SHOULD/ COULD/ MUST have been a resilient union/ chain is to be determined by what ONE OF THE LINKs claim as a chink ( to be claimed off, as its' own ) off another bulkier link ?

Is the claim REALLY feasible ? What about the COSTS involved ? Does the implicit/ explicit cost necessitates such historical posturings to continue even as of today, and going forward ?

Does this make sense ? Does this claim have divisive seeds that potentially destroys the ( let's say ) proposed chain ?
Why sustain the seed intention ? When there are better ways that dilutes this contention to a point where it can be relegated to becoming a trivial or a non-issue.

Does it NOT make sense that - THE cohesive thread that MUST bind the links together be made STRONGER enough so that the union/ chain of links are more strongly bound together, in many which ways.

Question -
Is there a possibility that as we become more closely ( and cohesively ) linked ( and engaged), this paves the way for a SAARC-based economic union ?

Is this an idea which is clearly pretty much long overdue ? Could have potential to re-invigorate the whole region and economies, thereof.
With enhanced movement of inter-border trade, services, people, etc. serving as the vital binding link ( or, thread ).

This necessitates/ mandates/ requires internal peace and security. IS it possible that the afore-mentioned become a by-product of such a bonding ?

Bottom line is - we must be forming part of an economic/ currency union for the people of the sub-continent to move ahead and have some better lives, peace and pride.

Is formation and continual sustenance of an economic union with a unified/ singular currency - one of the best ways ahead of us ?

Is it possible that such a stronger singular currency would better or BEST serve as ONE key constituent of the BRICS-based reserve currency ?

Perhaps SO ?

There is NO OTHER way. Any (c)overt (proxy) war derails the whole process by 4-10 years at least. Not good. Not desirable.

We ALL may NOT have another chance, as I see it, going forward. Whatever has to be done should be done within the next few months only.
We could be already late into it. This is, but, my gut feeling - for I am NO functional expert at this.

IS economic union feasible ? the way forward ? Singular currency ?


NOTE -


Govt. of the day MUST consider the following two aspects as mandatorily & necessarily enforceable, before thinking of a long standing union :-

1. a mandatorily enforceable two child ( max ) policy; and

2. a median way acceptable to all for a uniform civil code within India.

Those folks who do not agree to 1 & 2 - we must send to friendly neighboring countries in the not so distant future.


Addenda -


If the IPI pipeline had become operational. It would have been a WIN-WIN-WIN situation. We would have had NETT savings/ gains of tens of
billions of US Dollars over a decade's time. What a wasted delay.
Btw, who would NOT allow it to take off ? It seems like we ALL lack balls ?

And... a few gas based power plants would have NOT necessitated the need of and question of whether we need to import Western nuke plants at
exorbitant costs. I suppose - we DO NOT need them at this point of time.


This post was to be delivered during - May, June or July 2014. Already too late !? Or, is it rightly timed !?

Dharma and "Sarva Dharma Sambhaav"

Dharma and "Sarva Dharma Sambhaav"


The word "Dharma" - does not necessarily imply that,  Dharma = Religion. Or, equals religious bigotry. NOT true.

Concept of Dharma surpasses religion. Religion is but one of the facets of / path leading to Spirituality. Set <-> Superset.
Dharma and spirituality is meant for those who have a broader and wider evolved mind/ mindset/ vision.

Dharma also => rule of law, righteousness. Captain AV has a fantastic article on Dharma on his blog.

I understand Dharma in only one context. Dharma also implies "Sarva Dharma Sambhaav".

In layman terms, this means - tolerance and equanimity between all the religions. As it ought to be.
As has been in our land since time immemorial. Our land is governed by our sages and seers.

These sages/ seers often talk of "Mustika Gyaan" but few bother to live up to it.

Just making a contextual point...
Imagine a Paramhamsa, a self-realised soul saying "Aham Brahmasi" or "Brahmoshmi".
And, then we have a realised Fakir who can proclaim "Anal-Haq", "Anal-hakka".

Sri RamaKrishna Paramhans, Swami Sivananda Saraswati were self-realised souls.
And, then there was Sarmad.

POINT -
For spirituality, religion is the means, not the end.




"Mustika Gyaan"


Mustika = fist.

Let's say that the Thumb => sages, seers.

The other four finger implies set of people with certain predominant "vrittis" ( natural bent of mind ) coming from
diverse streams - caste/ class groups, religions, clans, tribes, etc.

Index Finger ->

Middle finger ->

...

The four fingers must join together in mutual cohesion and in accordance with the thumb. This is THE only way. The way forward.
