Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 HARI AUM I mentioned three things: 1. Dharma- the 'law of being' 2. a famous 'misattributed' saying of the Mother Theresa- " The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. " 3. her home for the dying destitutes in Kalighat, Calcutta. ( which I had visited many years ago when I went to visit Kalimata at the famous temple at Kalighat) It is all about her saying and her action. I feel 'being good and nice to even to one's enemies' is a good enough idea, though not easy to practise. Regarding the funding, ulterior motives, etc. of those organisations are not the topics I covered/intented. Mere mention of a situation does not decry the great works of other Saints. I believe the good works done by anyone irrespective of their caste, creed, nationalities, age, colour, background etc always stands. All those created through unfair means will fade away in time. Lastly I do understand the gnawing discomfort at the present day heightened appeasement of the minorities by the political class. Let me assure you this-no force can ever take away the spirit of this great 'Sanatana Dharma' from the people of this nation. Unlike other religions this is nature by itself in all its manifested and unmanifested glories . Let me close this with : The 'Peace chant' from 'Kathopanishad' : " Om, Sahanavavatu; sah nau bhunaktu; saha viryam karavavahai; Tejaswinavadhitamastu; ma vidvisavahai. Om shantih, shantih, shantih. " `Om. May Brahman (the one divine Self in all) protect us both (student and teacher); may Brahman nourish us both; may we both acquire energy & be iilumined(by this education); may we not hate each other. Om. Peace, Peace, Peace.' (This peace invocation contains many beautiful sentiments which have inspired Indian eexperiences-secular and religious-for a few thousand years.)

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hari OM! Dear Ones, Dharmam or (order) cannot be discussed in sentences like this...it is a continous process of studies.. Swadharmam is very important.....for one who is striving to be away from the wordly entanglements(Moksham). So Hindus have their Swadharmam to protect our culture... our Sanathana Dharmam, And all the cultures should equally survive here, Just like that it will not happen..there is no automatic process, There is no "APNE AAP" here. Why they have their so called charity center in Calcutta. where Swami Vivekananda's and Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's Ashram??? That itself shows.. that there is a hidden agenda. I personally value our Own Scriptures which my Parents, and Sat Guru taught me.. And value good things in other cultures too. But not the hidden agenda (Kuthantrams) propaganda with sweet honey words, taken from our own Hindu Scriptures. and presented it in an English platter, associating the authorship to someone else, How many great knowldege "Olas" (scriptures written in palm leaves) have been burned by the Britishers, At that time still we fought for material and money benefits. is it not. Now that is the time to stop.. I will never do propaganda for the hidden agenda people. never even utter their names, India's pseudo seculirasm should be shown to the public. Real Bharath loving people will never even visit these kind of places. (like the so called social service center at Calcutta). Do they value our Acharams and GOD??? then what is the point in praising and promoting them. India is welcoming these kind of third world religions and their promotion, for a long time, and accepting them. That is why in Kerala now this situation, "IF YOU GIVE LITTLE PLACE FOR CAMELS, IT WILL OCCUPY THE WHOLE PLACE AND THE PLACE WHICH WAS NOT SEEN BY THEM!" That is the Pazhamchollu. Om Shanthi! Shanthi! Shanthi! Hare Guruvayurappa! With Love & OM! Krishna Prasad guruvayur , balagopal ramakrishnan <rbalpal wrote:>> HARI AUM> > I mentioned three things:> > 1.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Om Namo Narayanaya Dear Balagopalji I also believe so. We have to accept the good works done by anyone irrespective of their caste , creed , colour , language , nationalities , background etc. If we accept good things , our mind will be calm and happy. To err is human , to forgive divine .All people make mistakes There is no caste or religion for mistakes .If a person has 99 good acts and 1 fault , we have to forgive him .. If God has forgiven us so much , how could we refuse to forgive others ? Forgiveness can be almost impossible when the wound is deep. But if we try to forgive after 1 day , 1 month , 1 year , 10 years or 40 or 70 years ,we will get the strength to forget and forgive .Because we are not God , we are human beings. Moreover caste and religion are created by human beings . There is no caste or religion for Cow , Crow , Elephant ,Cat , Dog, Lion , Tiger etc..
