THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA -THE NEXT GENERATION-(BOOK ADDL PAGE)

 

Why can't the pontiffs help building up uniformity?

 

Yesterday once again the news relating to the decision of

celebrating Ugadi festival was on TV. Perhaps innumerable number

of the TV audience might have enjoyed the conversations and counter

arguments for fixing up a date for Ugadi. Years ago, I was with one

of the Jagadgurus and suddenly a servant entered the room and in the

local language asked the pontiff a question as to why a uniform date

for Ganesh Chaturdhi could not be fixed much in advance. He

further questioned the Jagadguru as to why the Jagadguru could not

interfere in such a matters of dispute and settle the matter using

his position. All that agony was, he purchased material for Pooja

and there was a controversy with the date and the material will not

remain fresh for the next day on which Pooja was to take place as

per new controversy. I could dare putting a question though I had

the same question in my mind.

 

 

 

Kanyakumari to Jammu, majority of Hindus accept and follow rituals

and respect the Vedic system or Puranaas, which are the backbone for

most of the rituals and Holy festivals. Incidentally oblations are

offered in different fashions at each place and more so even within

the same region. Authorized and unauthorized personnel perform all

types of rituals leading to utter confusion and resulting into lack

of faith in the systems. I really do not understand as to why the

Jagadgurus do not appear on one dais and insist for a uniform

calendar throughout India and Uniform procedure for all rituals – at

least on region base wherever the necessity demands. They could

have established a Common University for settling matters of dispute

relating to Sanatana Dharma and Traditions, more so conducting

examinations and granting qualifications for those who can perform

rituals. This is a point beyond power politics and vote bank

technique. And I sincerely believe that this is WHAT IS MINIMUM

EXPECTED OF THEM IN THE CHANGING SITUATIONS .

 

 

 

I desired to create a Uniform platform for many Pontiffs who have

innumerable number of followers at different places and it was my

trust that all of them together can resolve many issues concerning

Hindus and others too. But then, it was a futile exercise, when

some one refuses to appear on the stage if some other person of

other branch is invited and so on. Once again, my eyes were filled

up with tears of joy when the Head of Sikh Religion HH Shri

Vedantiji accepted my invitation and respected the ideology behind.

I could not arrange for funds for the maintenance of the Pontiffs

for that one day program when some of them demanded for it .

 

 

 

Are the Pontiffs been given position for their comforts or for their

self elevation and is it not their fundamental duty to come forward

to establish a peaceful society beyond controversy? – my mind goes

round this unanswerable question and my heart gains weight and my

eyes fills up with tears of sorrow as to why we fail to build up a

Healthy atmosphere. And, more so why two pontiffs of different

branches do not appear on a common platform to create a constructive

approach. If they too have likes and dislikes, what is the other

alternative and who else can guide all of us? Any possible solution

in the near future? – Perhaps we may have to wait silently for the

time.

 

 

 

And, now the matter relating to celebrating Ugadi on 19 th or 20th

is a burning point for discussion on the TV and people enjoy seeing

the TV when arguments and counter arguments go on between pundits –

known and unknown. This is where we are. If we fail in such small

and trivial matters, how are we to face challenges and how can we

build up a Casteless society and establish only one and only one

HUMAN RELIGION? Painfully yours HARA HARA MAHADEVA DR P V SESHA

Respected Dr P V Sesha Sai Aswamedhayaaji.

 

Namasumanjalulu. Perhaps the Pithadhipathis, the

Pontifs may want us to celebrate Ugadi everyday and pray the Ugadi

Purusha, the Almighty everyday. Please give a thought to this angle

and advise us. with deep regards, jajisarma
