'Chokra' Boys and Coconuts

Historically, it has always been that, a small minority group lands up ruling the majority. Take the case of Britain's rule over India. With just 40,000 British soldiers and 1600 British Civil Servants, Britain a relatively small island, located 7,000 kms away, ruled the undivided Indian subcontinent of [300 million people, enabling it to extract US$45 Trillion of wealth for themselves from India in a mere 173 years (1765 -1938). The British were able to achieve this remarkab

INTOLERANCE

The answer depends on one's convenience. We are quick either to condemn or to support, both in my opinion are bad. For a moment let's forget intolerance, think about tolerance. This itself is such an ugly word and its meaning is so negative. We need to respect not tolerate. Tolerance is always limited and this limit can be breached at any time for any reason, even the most idiotic and frivolous one. Anyone who tolerates is abiding time until he, she or they cannot or will not

We are Human, not God.

Modernity has given us much to feel happy about, really? Excitement and tension in abundance, but happiness and peace not much. Material comforts may have increased tremendously but so has emotional sickness. The mind wavers and wanders aimlessly and the spirit lies deep asleep in darkness. Science and technology have delivered to humanity great gifts of physical health and material prosperity. Unfortunately, prosperity tends to make us arrogant and disrespectful. We forge

Truth is not attained, it is realised.

'The Truth lies within us'. What did the Gurus and masters mean by that? What did Jesus mean when he said, "The kingdom of God lies within us"? Therein lies the answer. God called by a thousand names in numerous language are just another name for the Truth. Truth is not an acquisition that has to be sought. It is not a goal to be attained. It is a realisation and an awakening. If truth cannot be attained, then how is it realised? To be truly happy and liberated, then to the c

It will pass

We will always see the divine in the form we have been taught all our lives in our places of study and worship or in our literature and art. If that should happen, then we should know that we are not experiencing the divine. The human mind is so powerful that it easily fools even us ourselves. When we desperately long for something, our mind is easily capable of conjuring it up for us. Our minds are very powerful, therefore it projects whatever we desperately seek. We feel we

Can't you dress like a gentleman?

During a visit to England, an Englishman asked the great Swami Vivekananda ji, who wore traditional Indian clothes, "Why don't you wear proper clothes to look like a gentleman?" Swami ji's response was, "Maybe, here, its the tailor that makes a gentleman, in our country its character" An excess of economic wealth is as harmful as poverty. Wealthy societies begin to decay because they grow clueless of what to do with their wealth and their time. Such a society is identified b

Fascinated by Bio-Rhythms

We all experience good days and sometimes bad days as regards our outputs, moods etc. All living beings in nature exist in a cyclic manner. The most common being the 24 hour cycle called the Circadian Rhythm which affects our feeding and sleep patterns. Thus we feel sleepy and more alert at about the same time everyday even without looking at the clock. There is a field of science called Chronobiology which deals with the study of periodic (cyclic) phenomena in living organis

We possess numerous intelligences.

We all possess intelligence. But intelligence is not as we have learnt all our lives. In fact we possess multiple Intelligences and almost all of them can be realised and developed further. Why do I find that many students who scared well in school examinations fared poorly in real life? While many who scored poorly in school exams excelled in later life in the very fields in which they were declared as failures? Why are so many people who are both successful and happy also g

Where lies the Truth?

"TRUTH is within ourselves; it takes no rise From outward things, whatever you may believe. There is an inmost centre in us all, Where truth abides in fullness; and around, Wall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in, This perfect, clear perception—which is truth. A baffling and perverting carnal mesh Binds it, and makes all error: and, to KNOW, Rather consists in opening out a way Whence the imprisoned splendour may escape, Than in effecting entry for a light Supposed to be w

The hijack of morality by religion

What is meaning of 'morality'? It could be defined as, the distinction between proper and improper thoughts, intentions and actions. Who defines what is moral or immoral? As far as we can remember, morality has been defined by religion. By religion we mean institutionalised/organised religion. Structured as an institution with clear organisational hierarchies, defined powers and role of priests (officers). Religions are structured like the Communist party says Pope Francis

Checklist to determine toxicity level of an Organised Religion.

Organised religion which have become toxic, can be identified by the following characteristics. Where there is a clear hierarchy and chain of command in the priestly class. Where the individual soul ceases to have any real value. Where the individual is an insignificant part of the mob. Where individual seeking, thought and action are forbidden. Followers must blindly and unquestioningly obey. Where women have low or no status, dignity or rights. Where an individual's life is

To spiritually awaken and evolve

Every child is born completely ignorant and innocent. It displays no expression of who or what it is. It just is. Immediately the world starts to influence and define the child, what it is. Name, family, religion, tribe, nationality, colour, gender etc. The number of labels keep on increasing in numbers and rigidity that will last their whole lifetime and even beyond. 'What we are', is a label given to us by others. In fact we have more than a hundred additional labels. Schoo

Why do I write and blog?

A friend asked me, "Why do you write?" A good question, because I never really thought about it. This is human nature at work. We always act on instinct and then analyse later on. I suppose its 'later on' time now. Well, why do I write and speak? With ups and downs, my life has been like a roller coaster ride. I am grateful, that my life been made richer, more interesting and better because of the contribution of many people, some still living and many more of those who pre

Why the British left India?

One often wonders, 'Having just emerged victorious and more powerful after World War, why did the British leave, the jewel of the crown of the British Empire, India? Who in their right mind, would willingly give up a constant source of treasures and great wealth? Why did Britain insist on trisecting India into 3 major parts and further dividing rest of India into 623 independent kingdoms with their own rulers, before withdrawing from India in 1947? Why did Mountbatten fail t

India, the last great surviving civilisation.

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.* ~ Ancient Indian saying A recent UNESCO study on all of the 46 notable civilisations that ever existed since the dawn of known time, reveals that only one survives till this date. That is the Indian civilisation, old and yet thriving. The terms 'empire' and a 'civilisation' are often used used interchangeably even though there is a vast difference between them. Its necessary to distinguish the di

Material and Spiritual Truth

Truth encompasses the entire Universe and Creation. The individual who desires to understand and imbibe the truth has to look both within and without. Truth is of two kinds, material truth and spiritual truth. Material truth deals with matter, people, events, patterns and thoughts. Let me clarify, Humans are biological beings, who have needs of hunger, security, sex etc. This is the world of the animal that is natural within us The animal that has been shaped over millions of

Feel Alive and be Happy

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the famous craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. They were imprisoned in a tower by King Minos. Clever Daedalus managed to create two sets of wings for himself and his son, that were made of feathers glued together with wax. He taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too high, which would cause the wax to melt, nor too low, which would cause the feathers to get wet with sea water. Together, they flew out of the
