GAYATRI MANTRA


This makes it a very encouraging and meaningful reading.

GAYATRI MANTRA is broadcasted everyday for about fifteen minutes on Radio Paramaribo, Surinam, South Africa.
Recently,The Hamburg University initiated research into efficacy of the GAYATRI MANTRA both on the mental and physical plane of creation.

According to an American Scientist, Dr Howard Steingeril, Hindus’ GAYATRI MANTRA produced 110000 sound waves per second. This was the highest amongst Hymns and innovations from world over. Though the combination of sound or sound waves of a particular frequency is claimed the Mantra is capable of developing specific spiritual potentialities.

Let us be proud of our Vedas, Mantras, Culture, Traditions, and Gurus and of course GOD.

MANY LANGUAGES.
MANY RELIGIONS.
ONE INDIA.

let us CHANGE INDIA for INDIA OF TOMORROW.

REMEMBERING RK


On the 14th of this month, it was Raj Kapoor’s 88th birthday.

My best wishes are with his family.

After Baba Shab Phalke award was announced, RK had a party at his residence at Chembur in Mumbai.
This picture-with your faithfully-was taken just a few days before he went to Delhi to collect his award from the President of India.

I still remember what he said during our conversation!!
“MAAN  JADENDI  SATT---KARAM  NAA  DENDI  VAND”

He was a great man.

THE KALASH WHITE TRIBE OF PAKISTAN


The Kalash The White Tribe of Pakistan is very different from their neighbors. In the mountains of the Hindu Kush in Pakistan, six thousand or so people live who look and sound Fascinating to say the least:
-
They claim to have lived in the area for thousands of years and they look to all intents and purposes, European. Some believe that that they are descendants of Alexander the Great's army though their true ethnic origins are still unproven.Taking in to account genetic drift it was then thought that the Kalash blood line originated in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Caucasus.

They live in Kalasha Desh which translates as the three valleys of the Kalash and that is the limit of their people's range. There are only around five thousand speakers of the language, KALASHA, left which in terms of a language means that it is critically endangered. However, it is thought that the language probably never had more than a few tens of thousands of speakers at any one time.

As their numbers are very small the cultures of the people who surround them have had an impact. Many of the Kalash in two of the valleys have converted to Islam. They still practice many of the traditional aspects of Kalash life though the non-converts call them sheikhs. A third valley, known as Birir, still clings to the traditional way of Kalash life.

By some standards the Kalash are very poor and it is true that they are subsistence farmers. Kalash houses are typically made from Deodar trunk to an ancient design. They appear singly or stacked up against each other up vertiginous hillsides.Yet even though the houses often look precarious, they are built on solid stone foundations. Many have inbuilt beehives, given the villagers access to honey close by.

In stark contrast to the culture of Pakistan the Kalash do not separate the sexes or disapprove of contact between men and women of different families.  Elopement is regular in Kalash society and strangely it occurs often among married women.  The woman herself will write to the prospective groom and offer her hand, informing the new man how much her previous husband paid for.

The Kalash are protected by the government of Pakistan but their future is uncertain particularly if the religion declines in to theocracy.  There have been recent Taliban incursions and a Greek aid worker was kidnapped in 2009 (she was returned unharmed four months later after an outcry). However, their relative isolation may well ensure the Kalash survive.

FAIR DEMAND


At the age of 65 years, India is too young a country and hence needs to keep updating and or amending its constitution keeping in mind genuine set of national concerns. Politicians come and politicians go, but, it is the mother earth that we live on, must be protected. Democracy must be protected.

Under the constitution of Pakistan, no Sikh can ever become the President of the country.
Article 41(2) of Pakistan constitution makes the law very clear without any need for clarifications.
Similarly, under constitution of Pakistan, no Christian can ever become a Prime Minister of the country. Article (91-5) of Pakistan constitution makes the law makes it clear
.
Such laws do prevail in the United Kingdom also.In the UK only an Anglican Christian can be the Prime Minister.Even Disraeli had to shun Jewish religion to become Prime Minister of United Kingdom.

Should India too have similar laws?

What if a famous singer from Pakistan, now settled in India marries an Indian?Will he become eligible for the post of PM of India...As per prevailing laws...YES?

MP of a national party was declared a Nepali citizen who had sneaked into India.Had SC not intervened, could he have become eligible for post of PM of India?As per prevailing laws...YES.

We have actresses living in Mumbai from ,Sri Lanka, England, Afghanistan, Pakistan. If  one of them decides to marry an Indian will she be eligible for the post  PM of India? As per prevailing laws..YES

A private member's Bill has been introduced in the parliament on 7th Dec. It says "ONLY A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF INDIA SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO HOLD OFFICE OF PRESIDENT,VICE PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTER"

There is a self appointed “SECULAR brigade” in India supported and encouraged by Main Stream Media, which would like to create an opinion against the bill indirectly showing loyalty to a particular dynasty in India.
That being a typical Indian mind living with colonial mind set.......still.

Every individual has an opinion.Even you have.Would you like express your opinion?

DESH UBAL RAHA HAI.
PAPPU JAAG GAYA HAI.
