Hinduism - My views on it

“Hinduism”, the only religion in the whole world that gives a notion of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbukam” meaning "the world is one family". Hinduism includes all living and non living beings in to one fold by establishing its basic theory and practice called sanathan dharma.

Let us observe how this can be seen in Hinduism. If one come across the gods and goddesses and the culture of worship in Hinduism, one may notice so much diversity in its form and prosperous.

Lord Ganesha/Vigneshwara (The lord of Obstacles) is killed accidentally by Parameshwara (Shiva – The Destroyer or Merger) and the severed head is replaced by the Head of an Elephant. Shiva restoring life to Ganesha¹, and replacing his head with an elephant’s, means that before we can leave the body, the Lord first replaces our small ego with a “big”, or universal ego. This doesn’t mean that we become more egoistic. On the contrary, we no longer identify with the limited individual self, but rather with the large universal self. In this way, our life is renewed, becoming one that can truly benefit Creation. It is however only a functional ego, like the one Krishna and Buddha kept. It is like a thin string tying the liberated Consciousness to our world, solely for our benefit.

If one observes the significant incarnations of Srimannarayana (The god of existence) called dasavatara, one can see the sequential incarnations Matsya (Fish – Water abode), Koorma (Turtle – Amphibian), Varaaha (Wild Boar head with human body – Living in Wilds), Nrisimha (Lion head with human body – Living in Forests), Vamana (A dwarf man). Parashurama (Warrior with axe), Rama (The purest human form with ideal man), Krishna (The god of compassion, tenderness, and love), Buddha (Who preached the path of ahimsa (non-violence)), Kalki (“Destroyer of Filth" and the harbinger of end time) gives a concept of evolution.

The first test tube baby who is born from the rudra veerya (Semen of Shiva) is Hanuman (The monkey god), whose embryo  is installed by the Vaayu (God of Air) in the womb of Anjana Devi (Wife of Monkey King “Kesari”). Lord Hanuman symbolically stands for pure devotion, complete surrender and absence of ego or the lower self².

....yet to be finished

Where the world goes in future generations??

There will be a time that is going to come, the world's​ top businessmen turned leaders and politicians are going to station and operate all countries'​ affairs and governance from Mars creating world wars and chaos on earth.

The earth will be destroyed by conflicts originated from personal and business interests of these leaders creating chaos in lives of common public and living generations/species/life stationed on earth.

Humans will be managed and governed by machines with artificial intelligence. Humans will share their emotions and problems with these machines and will get treated by these machines for all phobias/diseases.

There will be nothing like humanity and ethics. The machines will teach ethical and moral values to the human generations. Humans will be counseled by these so called AI machines for good and bad.

Some thoughts and Beliefs

"When mind is in turmoil and emotions are mixed, words flow themselves in to sentences and sentences in to paragraphs and paragraphs in to essays."

Just started to write something about my identity as a Telangaanite and the words started flowing. It’s not about a separate state but a separate recognized identity. Every body can understand who backed up the agitation and who spoiled the public life in Hyderabad and Telangaana region. First I want to clear that its not my concern here. 

When I left Telangaana I felt that I lost my identity (I didn’t find what it is meant to me). When somebody asks me are you from Andhra? I get a sudden anger and uneasy feeling. Yes. Because I never identified that I am from Andhra because Andhra word become only synonym for Seemandhra rather than Andhra Pradesh. That’s why whenever someone asks this question I say from Hyderabad (As its part of Telangaana region basically).

I think this is the main reason why so many people from Telangaana don’t like to migrate or look jobs somewhere else than most of Seemandhra people. Seemandhra people mostly interested in accumulation of wealth whether they stay at one place or migrating to some other place for living and earning for their life as they are (Its only my observation). If Telangaana people are going somewhere for some time they definitely feel this sensation in their heart that they leaving their life. It’s a feeling that they will never able to identify their native place if returned and fear that all new faces of Seemandhra people replacing their old identity and culture. This type of cultural and linguistic and cultural dominance (even its Telugu, the accents in it) is never acceptable to us Telangaanites in mind and word.

I am in confusion at certain times regarding this identity crisis. For so many years we Telengaanites don't able to know the real history of Telangana and its culture which was, is still dominated by the so called leaders and Governements run by Seemandhra politicians and Chief Ministers who developed the major share for the Seemandhra culture and their festivals and their Capitalists. I never saw a Telangaana Festival in my school calender and also about the People who fought for our own existence in Nizam's rule. I never read an essay or some other thing and about the History of Nizam's Rule of suppression of whole erstwhile Hyderabad state people of that time. These things only I came to know and read when the agitation started again for re-existence of old statehood. 

But something came as a surprise when Mrs. Kavita Kalvakuntla started the Telangaana Jaagruti, so many Telangaanites found the identity of their own culture and started to unite as one. For that reason or the other Telangana people are somewhat little bit indebted to  Prof. Jayshankar sir (His soul rests in peace) and little to Mr. KCR’s family. Someone may not agree with me (regarding KCR's share) in this regard but it looks correct to me in personal belief.

The straight forwardness and the sharpness in our accent is always looks like a uncivilzed thing to most of Seemandhra people as they themselves say that they are fully civilized (under the british rule where they learnt their British type of diplomacy and their best expertise in English). But most of the Telanganites don’t know this type of diplomacy and cunning ness and they say whatever comes to their mind without hiding. (Even though there are some exceptions to this, the exceptions are who learnt this from the Seemandhra people and some in born).

Still I like the way we Telanganites, own a new person/people visiting or coming in to the place or region with this type of straightness and kindness which is always a jealous feeling for some Seemandhra people. I remember some such occasions like this with my Seemandhra friends where I am intimidated as a low level civilian (Just think, they are not the average Seeamandhra people). Its childlike behaviour I observed with them when it comes to identity. I am not a good debater so I keep calm in such situations observing the show. I did not see any humiliation by Tangaana people but as I see this in case of Seemandhra people (You may object that I am a Telanganite and I backup only our region. May be this is true to only to very little extent. You can observe yourself.)

 I wanted discuss so many other things likely lively hood etc. but to due lack of time leaving at this point.

Thoughts 1

Life created challenges a lot

Goals and hurdles to meet

I have never tired of confronting obstacles

I never shown back to run away

I had sparkling experiences

To teach or to be taught

My friends are there to remind me, as I am

To not lost in the flow of life;

When the whirlwind shown me new treasures

To forget my lovely siblings and friends

I knew the fact already that,

The wealth never stays with…

As I pass the path of life

I remember one saying

The good name always remains

Before and after my existence

This is the only lesson I learnt from my experiences

To do good, and to be good

Live and let live

Dad! This is for you…

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH

Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.

His hair is crisp and black and long;
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat;
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.

Week in, week out, from morn till night
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell
When the evening sun is low.

And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from a threshing floor.

He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys;
He hears the parson pray and preach;
He hears his daughter's voice
Singing in the village choir,
And it makes his heart rejoice.

Toiling--rejoicing--sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begun;
Each evening sees it done;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night's repose.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
The most popular of American poets.
Born at Portland, Maine, 1807;
died at Cambridge, Massachusetts,
1882.

(excerpt from http://fairytales4u.com/fable/village.htm)

85% OF PEACE CAN BE GUARANTEED (WITH A SEPARATE STATE)

Telanganites will feel happy under the governance of their own leaders (even if their leaders rob their resources and wealth, it is better to be robbed by insiders of the family rather than outsiders as the feeling already taken in roots of their hearts).

Peace only can be prevailed with one option after separating Telangana from Andhra Pradesh.

Half share of Governance by both Government and Governor which require ultimate tact and diplomacy.

Keep half president rule, so that the Governor can see constitutional issues and extremist activities.

Keep government in the hands of respective regional governments (the party which won the elections) for the usual governance kept going on.Here I mean Seemandhra and Telangana regions.

It is easy to fight against Maoist activities in Telengana region (when the state is separated) by the Government with help of Telangana people. If extremism is generated from helplessness (see the previous post), its too dangerous than the casual way of Maoist activities to the society of unsatisfied needs and deeds.

Spread the wings of governance. Make all District Headquarters and Mandal Head quarters, the centre’s for Governance.

Give every Member of Legislative Assembly and MPs their own offices in their respective consistency for governance and see that every MLA will be there in their respective constituency for maximum days of week, so that their responsibility increases with people’s interaction in governance.

Don’t make the infrastructure, industries and organizations concentrated in single city or region. Spread everything in all directions.

Education and Hospitals shall always be in hands of Government

HOW THE TELANGANA ISSUE CAN BE SUPPRESSED IN THE PROCESS

As the sentence “majority is law” tell us, some things to be considered while discussing the issue. These are only my views, if someone rejects its their option.

Even though the process is to save them from Telanganites.

70% GOVERNANCE IS IN HANDS OF SEEMANDHRA PEOPLE:

All the Department Heads are from Seemandhra, so they can allot which employee should be taken where and they make Telangana employees in Minority by recruiting 75% Seemandhra people, 25% Telangana employees under a single Seemandhra Head. This again happens in Telangana Areas (because 100% Telanganites don’t want to work in Seemandhra region).Now starts discrimination by creating groups in the employees. Seemandhra employees will be supported by the Head of the Department. Telangana employees will be dominated by the Seemandhra Head (even their colleague Seeamandhras as they will not be controlled by their head as he is in their favor)

70% CONSTITUTIONAL POWER IS IN SEEMANDHRA PEOPLE’S HAND:

Every Seemandhra person knows loopholes in our constitution and Governance that can be useful in their favor. Maximum Telanganites don’t know what is there in the constitution as they are not much worked in government organizations or highly educated as the Seemandhra people, which give scope to learn organizational law, acts, G.Os etc., which can be useful for governance.

70% MEDIA IS IN SEEMANDHRA PEOPLE’S HAND:

Maximum channels, news papers are run by Seemandhra people. So they can broadcast which in their favor and can suppress which is in favor of Telanganites. The discrimination again starts here. If anyone asks about the truth he will be again suppressed by the same Seemandhras, as Telangana is already in minority of Telangana people who are stubborn in their views (75% of Telnaganites, Leaders who support the Separate Telangana are already bought by Seeamandhra, so that they will not talk or do too much for Telanganites).

70% Political Strategy and Tact is in Seemandhra people’s hand:

Seemandhra politicians have excellent capability of political games and they know excellent mind game. Telanganites don’t have that much capacity to defend the political suppression, better they can work under strategies created by Seemandhra politicians. Telangana is already in minority of Telangana people who are stubborn in their views (75% of Telnaganites, Leaders who support the Separate Telangana are already bought by Seeamandhra people). Again Telangana Political leaders need help from Seemandhra political leaders which never happen for strategy making.

70% of Maoist Activity will be from Telangana Region (without a separate state):

If the thing in the third heading and fourth heading prevails consistently, 75% of Telanganites choose the other way, “extremism” which is neither good for Seemandhra nor Telangana. Ultimately it becomes threat to democracy. Fighting this activity is easier in Separate state rather than in Samaikhyandhra, as it has to be fought in combination by Seemandhra People and Telanganites which rises issues of unity of Seemandhra and Telangana people again increasing the severity. (Just see the Osmania University incidents; it’s clear that our students are interested to be beaten by Telangana cops instead of Seemandhra cops). It implies that, if Maoist activity rose, it shall not be fought by Seemandhra police force and it shall be fought by Telangana police force hence only possible in separate state in governance of Telanganites. Maoist activity raised from casual causes can be fought easily by Government by the support of Telangana People.

70% OF WEALTH IS CONCENTRATED IN THE HANDS OF SEEMANDHRA PEOPLE AND POLITICAL LEADERS

The causes are: Maximum people in power are from Seemandhra regions. Maximum capitalists are from Seemandhra region. Maximum land in Andhra Pradesh is sold for least prices to Seemandhra Capitalists in the name of SEZ’s as there are no consecutive laws for land reforms in Andhra Pradesh (even in India). No other choice, money makes many things.

My brother Telanganites! (if some people's views hurt, forgive me)

“We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, intellect is expanded, by which one can stand on one's own feet” -Swami Vivekananda

“Why we disagree…”

We Telanganites don’t have that much education strengthening our minds as we study by physical labor but not mental labor from a basic level. We do not have the resources that Seemandhra people have (I am mentioning the people who are really not poor), money and political mind. We never know that food is a business as Andhra people know. Show me one or two reputed Industrialists from Telangana Region. We are backward that much!! We never thought of education becomes business as it these days. Even we don’t know how to do business. That’s why we are backward. They taught us civilization and education (let them feel proud of saying it). But still we were uncivilized as they say. Let them say what they say. We are servants to the Nizam in his ruling, and we are still servants to Seemandhra people now (As it sounding me like this by seeing my friends working in Govt. departments). Don’t get angry dear Seemandhras! It’s just my opinion; don’t throw stones on my blog. We are uneducated and uncivilized in your words, as the case with also our political leaders. Our political leaders are also uneducated as they are Telanganites and they do not know how to play a political game plan (referring to who are not really good). If they are really educated by their minds the situation in Telangana would not be as it was now. When the State Re-organization Committee (SRC) gave some things in writing saying that the Telangana people have a feeling of fear that they will be discriminated, they should be guaranteed to clear their fears, then; it is a wise decision to combine as Visalandhra by satisfying the fears of Telangana people.

Ok. They combined.

Why did they (political leaders and ministers in govt.) wash out all agreements and pacts which were saving Telanganites from the fears (of curse political leaders from both region, I say this may be as a bit of ignorance/benefitting in some way of our political leaders of that time)? Now, the history repeats. They (Seemandhra People) say that they have developed Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh Capital)! So it should be made a Union Territory. Now, the ball kept in Shri Krishna Committee‘s court. He is a judge by profession. He goes beyond that and gives another option by dividing some more districts from now existing Telangana Region and they should be added to the Union Territory of Hyderabad by saying, if Telangana is divided by giving its Capital as Hyderabad, there is a possibility that Maoism will be exploited. I don’t know what guarantee if we have Hyderabad as Union Territory does Maoism will be suppressed or vanished. This sounds little funny to me and I don’t know what is the base for it. I don’t know where, these Maoism starts from and what the is root cause of it. I think it’s not in the scope of Committee’s work. I am not that much of either a politician or a statesman. Rayalaseema can have a lot of faction wars and Govt. doesn’t have a capacity to stop it from last few years as I see, and Maoism as a great threat to our socio economic development. Can’t we stop it? We do not have a answer as we do not have answers to lot of questions in our present democracy. I thought it became a Demo Crisis. These days it became more common if a law case is running through years without judgment. Keep postponing, that’s what we people learned. If we did not have sufficient files of facts we do not get the justice. If we have them also there are other sects of people who can buy them or modify them as per their will by surprising us. I see examples of some cases like Arushi, Jessicalal etc., (God only knows the truth.) Democracy is laughing…

Carving out Separate Telangana

May the issue of carving out a separate Telangana does not have sufficient facts or statistics to decide that, may be all the facts are reverse of it. I don’t know how extent I can expect the truth in the document statistics given to Shri Krishna Committee (As all heads of the departments are Seemandhra people as I think, this is a suspicion from me as money and power can make many things possible or flaw'sible' these days) and the bias and basis on which they surveyed. We have one option to wait for the results. We wrote our examination very well and we are confident about our capacity.

Otherwise we have one more option. Shout! We don’t want Telangana!! Die ourselves. Just bury all our shit of emotions, confusions, and the constitutional rights of expression of thought. Bury ourselves in to the graves without dying tirelessly striving for a separate state, so that no body ask for another separate state. How can I say this? All our land of Telangana kids and children are watching and observing our moments, what’s happening. What if they start again by raising the same issue after another forty, fifty years, and if they wake us from our graves to support their movement. We need not worry, we can sleep in our own graves peacefully as they also come and join us as we can join our elders of same movement. History repeats.

Let them (I don’t know whom I am conveying this) keep their verdict on the graves of these innocent boys and girls of tomorrow.

I still have lot of thoughts before scribbling all this. Only two of us know those. One is God and another is me. Now only one knows, and it’s not me.

I am in loneliness

Just wake up from the dark sleep of deep

Valley of undesired chaos and confusions

Now it is time to start, enter into life like a Dove in to the sky

Life gave so many lessons to be learnt and to portray

I never looked for a sympathetic look in their eyes

but searched for a patting hand on shoulder

Still I have hopes for future endeavors

Which made me this much sick?

Is it love or infancy or infatuation that I am in for these many years,

without having asked for why being so lonely?

My friend! Don’t look back for solutions…

Go, search in for future

Your ambitions are ambitious

Your expectations for expectations

Don’t give up when you are in nuts and shells

Wait, some more time that will get you better results

Never cry for something that you won’t deserve..

Try hard and hard..

There is no such hard and fast rule to get to the top,

Without a small sweating and shedding..

Keep going...

Life comes along its way…

Only one path is to success and your dreams

Keep working

A DREAMER

I have vast life of dreams and hope

And I never had been able to fly up to the imagination for freedom and stature.

Well. Hope for a big deal. Life starts at that only hope that you could dream.

When dreams fade away reality nurtures your thoughts and excellence of character.

Brother! Look for the treasure of knowledge but not wealth of gold and diamonds.

They all cherish your talents and goodness in heart.

Don’t be bothered about surface beauty and smartness.

Careful of hurdles that flow in when you want to do some good for some deed

Recklessness never pays you, concentrate more on life.

Go the way it takes and shows what ever to you.

Gather all the pieces that it gave you.

Spread them; pave them for perfection, honesty and care of humankind.

Never bother what the world gave to you, give more for it.

Strive, Strive and drive to humanity.

Hard work never fails you, you may fail it.

Look for what you want, not which you do not want and care for.

Learn from the birds that flying in the sky; still fly high daring to challenge it.

Nothing more than passion that makes your character.

Tenderness in heart is mere common for humanity.

Make it and flow with the stream.
