jai gurudev

 

 

all this is past.

 

today we hindus r divived over language,caste, region etc.

 

govt spends oevr rs3800 on hajj subsidy,and over rs5000 crore

on madrassa to teach arabic and islam.

 

govt does not spend even rs1000 crore to teach sanskrit and ved.

why dotn we ask govt to eliminate case and start teaching sanskrit

ved etc ??? why dont we pressure our politicians ???

 

atleast let us start by teaching our children simple stuff like ganapati atharvasheesh,

sri durga saptashloki, siddh kunji stotra,sri devi atharvasheesh etc.

 

even teaching devotional songs and hymns in mother

tongue can be started,to begin with,but pls do it,so

next generaion is not lost.

 

help support sanskrit and ved,forget abt caste,focus on dharma.

 

let us do soemthing real.

 

give out various books like ganapati atharvasheesh,

sri durga stuti,etc... free to ppl,to propogate dharma.

 

first start reading puranas even in english and

mother tongue is ok,but start it.

 

so many divine hymns written by lord adi shankaracharya,

lord bhaskarraiji, laxmidharji, etc.....just get the books,and

start giving out.

 

smple shlokas,simple stuff will ignite the fire.

 

i teach my kids as much as i can what i learnt from my father

and many gurus and what i learnt from puran etc.

 

let us not waste time and start teaching our kids and then society.

 

let us do action,not lament the fall of india,but try to

get it back on track again.

Dear AllCame through a mail, thought its relevant with the discussion.. ..here is the content, tho i donno Magzine name.Some of the following facts may be known to you. These facts were recently published in a German magazine, which deals with WORLD HISTORY FACTS ABOUT INDIA . 1. India never invaded any country in her last 1000 years of history. 2. India invented the Number system. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta. 3. The world's first University was established in Takshila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4 th century BC was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education. 4. According to the Forbes magazine, Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software. 5. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans. 6. Although

western media portray modern images of India as poverty striken and underdeveloped through political corruption, India was once the richest empire on earth. 7. The art of navigation was born in the river Sindh 5000 years ago. The very word 'Navigation' is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH. 8. The value of pi was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is now k! nown as the Pythagorean Theorem. British scholars have last year (1999) officially published that Budhayan's works dates to the 6 th Century which is long before the European mathematicians. 9. Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India . Quadratic equations were by Sridharacharya in the 11 th Century; the largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Indians used numbers as big as 10 53. 10.. According to the Gemmological Institute of America, up until 1896, India was the only source of diamonds to the world.

11. USA based IEEE has proved what has been a century-old suspicion amongst academics that the pioneer of wireless communication was Professor Jagdeesh Bose and not Marconi. 12. The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra. 13. Chess was invented in India .

14. Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago he and health scientists of his time conducted surgeries like cesareans, cataract, fractures and urinary stones.. Usage of anaesthesia was well known in ancient India . 15. When many cultures in the world were only nomadic forest dwellers over 5000 years ago, Indians established Harappan culture in Sindhu Valley ( Indus Valley Civilisation) . 16. The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India in 100 BC. Quotes about India .

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made. Albert Einstein. India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition. Mark Twain.

 

If there is one place on the face of earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India . French scholar Romain Rolland.

 

India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border. Hu Shih

 

(former Chinese ambassador to USA )

 

ALL OF THE ABOVE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THE LIST COULD BE ENDLESS. BUT, if we don't see even a glimpse of that great India in the India that we see today, it clearly means that we are not working up to our potential; and that if we do, we could once again be an evershining and inspiring country setting a bright path for rest of the world to follow. I hope you enjoyed it and work towards the welfare of INDIA .

Pranam, Anna. It was really interesting to read all the messages. While reading this message by you, something struck me. Why is it that none of our achievements and gifts to the world are widely recognised? For eg, Algebra was a gift by our Rishis. Yet, it is known by the arabic name of al-jebra. Acknowledgement gives esteem, right? It rubs me raw. Namma munnorgal evalavu danam pannargal yet, who remebers them today? Even Indians have forgotten them and even worse, look down upon them. The slave mentality permeates us. When will we get Swatantram from that, I don't know. If you see the Chinese, they have an underlying arrogance. They refuse to let outsiders rule them. Same thing with Muslims.We don't have pride or even unity in ourselves. Only Ambal can save us..With Love, ShankareeShaktheyem@gro ups.com, Group Owner <para_anuloma@ ...> wrote:>> Dear All,> > In my posting titled "Grace of Bhavani",I had quipped thus:> "In the Brihat Samhita Varamihira gives credit to the Greeks who gave India its horoscopic astrological roots..."> > This was a mental typo!

grahAs"(you can substitute s'rIvidhyA by any other deities name like Shirdi Sai Baba,NarasimhA, etc).> > To all these overenthusiastic zealots,let me say something.> > upAsanA is not something of an umbrella which protects you PERFECTLY from your bad karmAs totally.One has to suffer for one's bad karmAs,whatever that might be.> upAsanA gives strength to endure any calamities in life.> upAsanA shortens the duration of the bad karmA(if say you need to suffer something for 40 years, by the strength of upAsanA, one can reduce is drastically)> upAsanA is difficult to follow(Please refer my older postings on the difference between upAsanA and bhakthi).It involves total commitment and not getting initiated into manthrAs and mumbling it under breath daily for sometime and expecting miracles.> upAsanA deity can in a rare case take upon the karmAs or by sheer ahethuki kripA can avert such kArmic

happenings seeing the progress of the upAsakA.(These are very rare instances and though everyone would love to fall in this category, it happens to one in a million devotees)> > > > > > A leaf from my own life:> > One devotee who claimed he was a Baba devotee once told me all this astrology is humbug and that Baba asked all not to believe in such things and depend on Him alone.(I had predicted when he brought in the first place his jAthaka chakrA that an accident related to the spine was in the offing soon(on a probablistic note as nothing can be said deterministically) and asked him to take caution and that it can be averted easy as it is of an "apa" kind and not "kAla" kind as pulipAni and gargA mention it.I also quoted a samskruthA verse for his benefit.)> > I said,"Very well.Do you depend on Him for everything?"> > He replied back,

"Ofcourse, I do."> > My Reference from Sai SatcharithA to Him:> > > Chapter 26 of Sai Satcharita - The Story of Gopalnarayan Ambadekar- "He then got Sai Baba's blessings for his astrological profession and studies and his prospects began to improve. He studied astrology and gained proficiency in it and there by improved his lot. He was able to earn sufficient money and passed his later life in ease and comfort". > If Baba was against astrology,He would not have blessed His devotee to study it.> In another example, (please refer Chapter 22 of Sai Satcharita) one astrologer predicted the possibility of a snake coming to bite Mr.Booty, Baba told Mr. Booty not to worry and the snake was killed before biting Mr. Booty. The predictions of Astrologer can come true. But Baba saved his devotee from death. > > In my opinion, Baba is not against astrology,however, He is above

Astrology(atleast from a low-level human perception)> > Baba is not against astrology,He is against people(His devotees) who totally believe in astrology without doing action by themselves.> > My experiences with Baba also prove to be salubrious only on these lines.> ------> His reply to my story."Im such a Mr.Booty and Baba will prevent the calamity which you say will happen without me taking recourse to any of the remedial measures which you have mentioned."> > I had given him only simple measures to follow and it was his adamance and negative attitude to the divine science of astrology which made him say thus.> > I say all this despite being into the s'rIvidhyA path all these years.> > I said,"If your faith in Baba is really strong, cling to Him,dearly; during this period which I have mentioned,avoid all journeys and even if you have to

journey for something important,wear His udhi on your forehead,pray to Him,keep Him in your heart.This way by utmost faith,you will escape scot-free.This is the best I can advice you."> At that time,I was even younger than Im now! and so he took lightly of my advice and age and said patronizingly, "Ok my dear young boy,you have a lot to see in life.I have seen a lot in my life.....(and other assorted deviant talk)..."> I kept quite and excused myself at the first given chance.> ************ ********* ********> > > Three weeks later,I paid a visit to him in Vijaya Hospital,Chennai, with a few roses,oranges and a Getwell card!> > He saw me and lamented Baba had deserted him.He was full of invectives against Baba Himself.> > I could only pity him and asked him to not get emotional as his blood-pressure might aggravate and might further prove detrimental to his

condition.> > His spine had been dislodged due to an impact with a truck from behind,luckily nothing else much had happened.He had gone to buy a pAn(he had the habit of chewing tobacco in betel leaves)for himself, despite my warning not to journey long distances in a scooter unless it was really urgent.(His office was at a walkable distance).He had a vAhanagandA/ bheethi which was predicted by me.> > A simple remedial measure given by me would have cost him,hardly Rs.50(buying some grains and giving it poor people) and a small litany to chant.He ended up paying Rs.45,000 for the spinal operation.Till date he walks with a stick to assist him and a neck-cuff(much sobered,I guess).> Obviously here,neither Baba nor astrology is to be blamed.> It is his own arrogance,lack of s'raddhA and belief in the supreme which has led to such sorry state of affairs.Maybe it was Baba who wanted to see His devotee safe

and thus sent him to me for astrological advice(God helps through people--deivam mAnushya rupe'na) and he did not recognize it.> > Now, one might ask a question here: If the accident was an "apA"(reversible) kind how did it turn to "kAlA"(irreversible kind).Herein lies the concept of fate as I laid bare before.It involves the native's own vAk and manah:-s'uddhI. If he speaks or thinks negative when sanguine and divine advice is being proferred,the karmA would ripen.> > Now, sadly he believes in astrology more than Baba and despite my remonstrances that astrology alone should not taken as a recourse and must be supplemented by bhakthi to some deity or divine source,he does not listen to me.> > Now this incident has become his "verbal transcript" to define his attitude towards astrology.(Thanks to me?)> > > > These incidents are not said to brag about myself but

to showcase certain facts to people about the power of Vedic astrology in the hands of able people.> > > > What does an astrologer get by all this?> > If he or she is doing rightful service to those who seek counsel, he or she would then burn many sins of past births by helping others(This has the pramAnA of parAs'arA) and also goes on a steady path to mOkshA.If coupled with serious upAsanA,guru bhakthi,etc, it might also be his or her last birth(This too has been stated by some vedic seers).> > I just wanted to type this message fast as I had some time today in the morning.> > Yours Yogically,> > Shreeram Balijepalli> > > > «·´`·.(*·.¸(`·.¸ ¸.·´)¸.·*).·´`·» > «....Hreem Rajarajeshwari! ....» >
