The Best Doctrine

I was really compelled to express my gratitude towards a doctrine which changed my life forever, a doctrine which holds its existence from the time immemorial and still defines each and every of our actions, immaterial of our faith in it. The doctrine of Karma is a theory which controls this entire universe and as per me it is the best spiritual material a consistent mind can ever come across. Loads of material is there at internet and I could have cut/paste them here, but here I would try to explain this theory within the realms of my perception.

Starting from movies like Matrix to serials like Lost and till the speech of Steve Jobs at Stanford, innumerable times I have come across the term Karma being used in English society. Curiosity arose to know, what at all is there in this doctrine that westerners keep chanting it every now and then? This was the time when I first became interested in theology and did a comparative study

Rational minds often don’t believe in the existence of God. At a time, I too was unable to explain as to why someone dies of hunger while someone is wasting food just to satisfy his tongue. At one side a girl is torturously raped and on the other side a child dies of illness in front of its own mother. Why at all God is so partial and just to explain this thing, atheists take the name of chance/luck/nature.

So the basic question that bothers everyone is that if at all there is God, then why is he so partial/blind. Now let us leave this spiritual plane and enter the material plane. Material plane is governed by Newton’s third law which states that for each and every action, we are bound to get an equal and opposite reaction. If a ball strikes the ground then ground will also strike the ball. Tit for tat. This law holds universally, so further examples are not required

Now let us enter the reference frame of this world. If this world will create pollution then the world will have to suffer from global warming. If this world engages in world war, world only will suffer. Definitely, no one else would.

Consider the reference frame of society. If the society will not deal with crimes, crimes will increase and society only will suffer in the future. Once again, tit for tat.

At personal level, we can say that if you not take care of your health you only would suffer, no one else. If you would not study, you will fail. Here too, tit for tat.

So at all levels and frames, one has to reap what he sows and this exactly is the gist of Bhagwad Gita where Lord Krishna defines that one has to pay for its actions. Spiritual plane considers Karma at a much larger scale. Some of our actions are immediate in reciprocation. Many worldly actions are dealt in this world alone and we taste the results in our present life only. But spiritually good/bad Karma gets counted even after this life. If one helps a poor by giving him food/water/shelter, he would not get any help from that poor now as a reaction. His spiritually good action would for the time being give him satisfaction of self, but in later life he would be rewarded in a fashion so as to be more focused on attaining Moksha. A murderous dictator may die as a king but he would be penalized either in this life or the next. Here is why some persons are born handicapped, mentally challenged or utterly poor. They were destined to be born like this only, can anyone offer any other explanation?

But still what is the fault of a child if he dies of hunger, what is the fault of an innocent girl if she gets raped? Here is the answer. We have to consider the society frame now. We allowed corruption, loss of values, loss of order and did not raise a voice. We followed the policy that prevention is better than cure and hence restricted girls from going outside instead of dealing with perverts. So who would pay for all this? Obviously society and since that girl is a part of society, she had to bear the consequences. If society follows order, no one would die of hunger and no one would get persecuted. Short span of life of the child may be a result of many of his past actions or the present actions of society.

Gist is the same, sow good to reap good and do this at all levels. We have seen societies where no one died of hunger or no one got raped, it’s a matter of choice what kind of society we build in.

Newton’s third law of motion is the extension of Doctrine of Karma at material plane and since the third law is scientifically verified, why should a rational mind defy its application at all levels? The most interesting theory is yet to come and that is the theory of reincarnation which is a direct corollary of the Doctrine of Karma. This theory is unique to Hinduism alone and no other religion believes in terms like past life or the life after death. Not only in India, but even in the world, there have occurred innumerable instances where a person manages to remember his/her past life. I remember seeing one such case in a TV serial which even scientists failed to explain. So these continual occurrences all around the world further add to the credibility of this theory

Best Poem for 4th yearites by a 4th yearite

This Saturday, we had KU farewell party where one of our friends from Electrical, Neeraj Tripathi came out with an exceptionally sentimental poem mentioning the lives of BHU dwellers. I hope you all would like it too


Raah dekhi thi is din ki kabse
aage ke sapne saja rakhe thhey naajane kab se
bade utavle the yahaan se jaane ko
zindagi ka agla padaav paane ko


par naa jane kyon ..dil mein aaj kuch aur aata hai
waqt ko rokne ka jee chahta hai


jin baton ko lekar rote the
aaj un par hansi aati hai
na jaane kyon aaj un palon ki yaad bahut aati hai


kaha karte the ..badi mushkil se char saal seh gaya
par aaj kyon lagta hai ki kuch peeche reh gaya


na bhoolne wali kuch yaadein reh gayi
wapas na kar paane wali baatein reh gayi,


meri taang ab kaun kheencha karega
sirf mera sir khane kaun mera peecha karega


jahaan 2000 ka hisaab nahin wahaan 2 rupay ke liye kaun ladega
kaun raat bhar saath jag kar padhega


KAUN MERI gaadi mujse pooche bina lejayega
kaun mere naye naye naam banayega
kaun sem ke ek raat pehle padhayega,
kaun girlfriend ka naam le leke chidhyega...



kaun kam number aane pe dilasa dilayega
kaun galti se number aane par gaaliyaan sunayega


VT par cold coffee kis ke saath piyoonga
wo haseen pal ab kis ke saath jiyoonga

mere class mein rehte hue meri proxy kaun lagayega....
cold drink ki shart pe ladkiyon ke tyre ki hawa kaun nikalwayega...
number aane par maar kaun lagayega....
girl friend ke samne neecha kaun dikhayega...


party party karke jaan kaun khayega...
aur cafe lejakar khali purse kaun dikhayega....

lan par games kiske saath khelunga....
aur jisne maara usko pakad kar kaise pelunga...

ghar waalon ko fanti ke baare mein kaun batayega...
aur apne saamne dant padwakar kaun daant dikhayega....


ji bhaiya kehkar meri baat kaun maanega....
itne respect se aur kaun pehchanega....

kisko mein apni aisi pakau poems sunaunga....
basti jakar un bachhon ko kaise padhaunga,...
aur gussa hue vishwakarma ko kaise manaunga...
pata nahi kisse itna pyaar paaunga...

aise dost kahaan milenge
jo khai mein bhi dhakka de aayein
par fir tumhein bachane khud bhi kood jayein


mere gaano se pareshaan kaun hoga
kabhi muje class mein sote dekh hairaan kaun hoga


kaun kahega saale tere joke pe hansi nahin aai
kaun peeche se bula ke kahega..aage dekh bhai


movies mein kiske saath dekhhonga
kis ke saath boring lectures jheloonga


mere farzee certificates ko raddi kehne ki himmat kaun karega
bina dare sachi rai dene ki himmat kaun karega


achanak bin matlab ke kisi ko bhi dekh kar paglon ki tarah hansna
na jaane ye fir kab hoga
keh do doston ye dobaara sab hoga


doston ke liye professor se kab lad payenge
kya hum ye sab fir kar payenge


raat ko 2 baje kuch khane lanka kaun jayega
tez gaadi chalane ki shart kaun lagayega


kaun muje mere kabiliyat par bharosa dilayega
aur jyada hawa mein udne par zameen pe layega


meri khushi mein sach mein khush kaun hoga
mere gam mein muj se jyada dukhi kaun hoga......

Good News?

Yesterday I received a mail from Mr. Madison from Wu Travels saying that they are interested to put up advertisements at my blog (and obviously pay me for that). At first it appeared to me as an attempt to hack my ID through some foul play. I enquired about the firm and mailed them regarding my curiosity. So far the tone of mails has been professional and appears to be genuine.

Not actually I am delighted to get any such offer but the thing that thrilled me is that they found me suitable for this; God knows what parameters I fulfilled that I got selected for this

So if any of you has any sort of experience in this field, kindly let me know

Media: Blind or Hypocrite?

These days whenever I talk to any of my friends over the situation in India, I always get the same repetitive replies. When I talk to them of communalism, they know only one name, that of Modi as if he is the first person who failed to give security to its fellow citizens. When I talk of suppression of the right to express, everyone has the same much propagated news of protests by VHP, Bajrang Dal etc as if no other religious group has acted in an extremist fashion

Considering this is a nation where people imitate west and bollywood blindly, no wonders if they got victim to the partial truth exposed by the media. Being a youth and a person living with youths, I can say that the younger generation is least concerned to investigate the truth. They swallow whatsoever is offered to them and not to mention the fact that that many of the youths read newspapers just to crack some competitive exam. Hence in any of the debate, they vomit what they have swallowed.

In this post, I would try to come up with facts that were not covered by media at all ; the media was either blind or hypocrite over those issues

1. Whenever I have read the term ‘Vandalize’ in the newspaper Hindu, it has always been used to describe some nuisance by Hindu religious extremists like protests by VHP over M F Hussain etc. Surprisingly media has never talked of protests against Taslima Nasreen and Salman Rushdie to this extent. But today I would reveal a case where Police vandalized an art exhibition just because it was showcasing what kind of ruler Aurangzeb was. After reading all this things, the questions that come to mind are-what kind of people could have problem in truths about Aurangzeb being showcased, what kind of governments do we have that can go to any extent to appease minorities? Are we living in Pakistan? Media was too eager to blame VHP that even during Amarnath issue furor, no channel mentioned the growing extremism and reducing hindu rights

2. Media is often seen protesting against Hindu religious extremists alleging them for having zero spirit of tolerance and condoning violence. Here I would bring to light an incident in Kolkata where the editor of the newspaper Statesman simply translated a text and published it. Soon there was a furore accompanied with subsequent violence. The question is – why wasn’t this issue raised with equal weightage and no debate done like they do every other day over Hindu religious issues?

3. Whenever it comes to riot, my friends have been brain washed to believe that Gujarat, Orissa and Karnataka are the only states where riots have occurred. I would let you all know of a riot which happened in my own hometown Mau. Several Temple Idols were vandalized and shown disrespect, many died with the possible involvement of Don Mukhtar Ansari . At the time when Barkha was busy covering the Gujarat riots, atrocity upon Hindus occurred once again in Kerala, but our secular media was least interested. Very unfortunately, riots/clashes happened in Rabodi, Jintur or Nanded didn’t get any place in media at all. Root causes were never brought to knowledge of a common man. What kind of secularism is this? This is not at all an extremism and vote bank politics for media. Wasn’t this a riot ?

4. When a dilapidated mosque was demolished in India, what followed is history but surprisingly when the 300 year old and still active rehman mosque was demolished in Pakistan, media remained silent. Taliban demolished that mosque since music was practiced there and as per them music is forbidden in their religion. We all have seen how our fellow brothers protest over US attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq but once again there was no hue and cry by them over this demolition? Why this silence? (Issue raised in Dainik Jagran’s editorial, printed edition)

5. When Sethu Samudram issue got raised, impotent central government filed an affidavit saying that Lord Rama has no proof of existence and hence the project must carry on. Can this very same central government ever file an affidavit saying that since Jesus has no proof, let us demolish churches. Similarly NDTV even went to an extent to say that Ramayana is a myth and hence in modern times, Lord Rama should be depicted with modern accessories. Can this channel say the same thing about prophets in other religions? Definitely no, we all have seen the furor over Denmark issue. Then why these double standards by our Indian media?

6. When media discussed Varun’s statement issue with so enthusiasm, then how come they neglect this issue. Surprisingly, no reporter ever tried to find out if the people in Pilibhit are really being persecuted? (Click here for more)

7. Why media never discusses the anomalies in NCERT books?

8. Why this partiality ? simply because of vote bank politics, is it too difficult for media to decipher


These were the issues showing the hypocrisy of Media, Let us have a look at facts showing how much is our media blind

1. Media failed to capture the Bangladeshi infiltration to an appropriate extent. No alarming bells were raised; perhaps it wasn’t sensational news for them?

2. Not only national but international media is blind to the atrocities towards Kashmiri Pundits. Click here for more. No slots for growing extremism in the valley

3. Why at all media has never focused on the local supports used by terrorists while planning any terror attack. It is an open secret that no bomb can ever be planted successfully unless there is a local support. Are they not terrorists too?

4. Media has never tried to bring the real face of missionaries to the general public. Missionaries are involved in mass conversions is a widely acknowledged fact, then why is common man debarred to know all this?

5. Religious terrorism has devastated entire North- east (click here) but our media never cared to bring this issue to the notice of a common man. Kandhmal violence was discussed but no one even talked about these issues.

6. Is only one community responsible for riots in India? Definitely not, then why is this difficult for media to figure out that our filmmakers are more interested in getting Oscars than showing both sides of the coin

7. BJP is communal, but when other parties ask for minority votes, aren’t they communal ? What kind of definition do our media follow? Why Congress was not penalized for unable to hang Afzal . Click here for more. Congress and similar other parties are still not communal for them

8. Are Christian missionaries really being persecuted in India? Why only one face of coin is showed to the common masses?

9. Is this not growing extremism ? Just like they found Ram sene as a sign of growing extremism.


I don’t support any extremist group but yes, I expect my fellow citizens to have open eyes, they should hate violence in any form. Cover all news, why to leave the half and present the rest half news? I am not here to support any damn Indian party or religious group, but media should never focus and siege only one community, they should only reveal the facts and let the public decide the root causes

Now let us have a look at who controls our media.

1. Times of India is run by Bennet and Coleman

2. NDTV: Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India . His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan

3. Star TV: Run by an Australian Robert Mudroch

4. The Hindu: English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by Joshua Society, Berne, Switzerland . Chairman N. Ram's wife is a Swiss national.



P. S. - To further support the facts mentioned in points 1 and 5, I have the videos with me. All those who are interested to see them can mail me.

So That There Is No Guilt Feeling

“Khana nahi kahaya babuji, paisa de do”, “Bhookh lag rahi hai babuji, subah se nahi khaya”. These are the recent chants which bang my ears everytime I come out of any mall/multiplex. Thanks to Bangladeshi infiltration, the problem of Beggary has aggravated only in these recent years. Earlier the usual hub of these beggars used to be religious places of worship. Compelling urges also have seen dramatic changes and serious mind boggling sessions must have been done by these beggars. Earlier they used to just sit by the roadside with their “katora” and look hauntingly at all the visitors. Then realizing that almost everyone abuses them of their healthy physique, they started the trend of asking a share in the “prasad” being carried by the devotees. It was a type of emotional atyachar since Prasad is ideally meant for sharing and hence everyone had no other option but to give them a share. But as mall culture has grown, the recent touching attack adopted by beggars is related to hunger and death.

Even this senti might be trivial for quite a few; I am always deeply moved and quite certain that this sight haunts others as well. Last time when I was at outskirts of a mall after having delicious pizzas at Pizza Hut that cost us around Rs. 600, a young girl came to us and started her usual ringtone. Since she was hungry, my brother offered to give her some food but denied giving her alms. The issue that disturbed me then was that we are spending hundreds of rupee just to satisfy our tongue’s whim and could not spend a single penny to fill the stomachs of hungry people across world. What kind of society we are living in nowadays?

Here I won’t ask my friends to eradicate poverty, but something really needs to be done. Every time we see such sight, the question that arises is that when would we give something back to our own society? Being youths, finding solution of these problems is much easier. Once a person gets married, he is generally occupied with long term plans of future requiring huge investments, so he generally gives the excuse to himself- “I am already feeding a family of five, hence God would forgive me”.

To avoid this guilt feeling, to come across these overwhelming sentiments, I propose all dear youth readers to at least get involved in some good social activity. This would give us a backing and hence help us overcome from such arousing assaults. Being pragmatic is most necessary as it gives the maximum satisfaction. Here I have tried coming up with few ideas:

1. In case you are a student, there certainly must be any student body working in this direction such as educating poor children.

2. Even if there is a huge shortage of time, we can cut our expenditure in branded clothes and junk food and donate at least some amount of money to any such honest organization

3. Minimum effort we all can do is to educate at least one child. It sounds hypothetical but is as easy as a cakewalk. Personally I can say whenever I have tried to chat with any of mess worker/ child labor, they were always enthusiastic to study

4. Giving a healthy childhood to everyone is very necessary. I would let you know how. Consider 2 children, one properly brought up in a good environment and the other who lived a typical slum life, now at a later stage both are jobless due to illiteracy. Who do you think would resort more easily to social crimes to earn money? Considering this, our effort should be to give all slum children a life which is full of values and opportunities. Let us start a trend of interacting with young children. Let us talk with them, let us give them a worthy glimpse of this world. We can let them know of this country’s glorious past and make them aware of social challenges. At least we can play with them and help in demolition of these social barriers.

We hate Extremism in RSS, VHP and Modi

Enough of the recriminations following every blast and riot, enough of this malaise feel and hence generated paranoia. Multicultural composition of India is threatening its image like never before. Every other day we come across heinous crimes like this or see some of the criminals getting acquitted like this

Every community has its own interpretation of the riotsand like this too This one fact shows the hypocrisy of our media
We came across some moderate leaders as well but their efforts getting fructified are yet to be seen but we welcome them. But the most hated campaigns have been that of RSS, VHP and bajrang Dal. The way they supported the riots in Kandhmal, Gujarat is a matter of shame

In all these voices, a more general voice is still unheard. Voice of a Hindu who is proud of its cultural rich heritage, who is well aware of the vote bank politics where Mayawati opposes Nuclear Deal just because it is against Muslims and he finds it difficult to figure out how is it so? He gets impatient when he hears Ram Vilas Paswan saying that all Bangladeshi should be given Indian citizenship since they comprise his vote bank. He gets even more enraged to see unprecedented amount of media concerns over Gujarat riot but no concerns at all for the Kashmiri Pandits. Unfortunately having no voice in media and politics this section has to unwillingly look for RSS, VHP to raise Hindu concerns

But how is this lobby different from these extremist sections. Talking of similarities:

1. We both hate proselytizing poor and backward sections of Hindu society by Christian missionaries and thereby get them converted. Gandhiji wrote: "If I had the power and could legislate, I should stop all proselytizing. It is the deadliest poison that ever sapped the fountain of truth." . Swami Vivekananda during his historic visit to the U.S., a hundred years earlier, wrote: "Part of the Sunday School education for children here consists in teaching them to hate everybody who is not a Christian, and the Hindus especially, so that, from their very childhood they may subscribe their pennies to the missions” . We both agree that conversions should not happen surreptitiously and Christian missionaries should be brought to book as well for this crime. ( All those who don’t know about the missionaries need to read ‘Missionaries in India’ by Arun shourie). If here Karan Thapar believes that he is above Swami vivekanand to say this then we feel ashamed only

2. We both are fed up with vote bank politics. We equally hate Bangladeshi infiltration. We believe that if India was one of the first countries to ban Satanic Verses, then it should ban M F Hussain as well. Any other act raises suspicion.

3. We both hate tolerance towards terrorism. At some point we both believe that some religions need to re consider their fundamental beliefs and nation should always come first and not religion. We both hate the absence of Uniform Civil code where only few communities are expected to go for family planning, society can never uplift if some sections are still orthodox and running on rigid principles created centuries before. Let us all behave equally if we really wish to be called equal. If we are ready to abide by a uniform civil code then others should as well. (Noticeable thing is that rigidity is there in all religions but the degrees differ)


But still there is a drastic difference:
1. We sincerely hate the brutal acts of killing. No matter whatsoever be the issue and plot, killing of every Indian is crime. If they burn trains and force conversion, then we need not resort to violence in any case. VHP, RSS and BJP have sound base, they can raise their voice through various channels. Let the judiciary act and if it fails, nation would itself decide who is more secular in the next elections. This is a democracy and we need to believe in it. If we will also follow the policy of spreading terror, then we are no better than terrorists.

2. Ephemeral, absurd strategies like moral policing sound more like a publicity stunt. A culture which has sustained 5000 years of heritage and came out successfully from 1000 years of so called slavery need not be worried by onslaughts of west. We need to spread our culture just like swami Ramdev brought down the net sales of soft drinks by virtue of Yoga power. Something which is good would always come out victorious in the end

3. Most important of all, why not to renovate ourselves and spend our energy there. Why not to give love to the oppressed ones and give them entry to Jagannath temple where still Dalits are not allowed to enter. Why not to give more rights and freedom to our women and hence grow with virtues. May be some religions are very rigid, but if we are renovating our own self with our rich cultural heritage, may be we can see incidents like this happening in bulk in near future.

4. VHP protest over the illegal occupation of land of Amarnath shrine board was one of those acts which forces us to believe that Hindu right s are being seized. I don’t think that the present unconcerned Hindu population would have come out of their homes to protest. But once again aggression and burning public property isn’t the way in democracy. Though other parties are no better in this regard, but that doesn’t mean that nuisance should be tolerated. What is wrong is wrong

A common trend has grown these days where you talk of your religion and speak truth even, you are looked upon as communal. This is just a media hype and vote bank politics. We Hindus believe in living with peace, living equally and fighting with unjust onslaughts. But if Narendra Modi comes up with carnage, we are never going to support it but at the same time expect from media to investigate into godhra carnage with equal vigor.

We hate extremism to the maximum possible extent but at the same time we wish to preserve our values as well just like any other community

True Legends on this 26th January

Our heroes and freedom fighters have repeatedly set examples of the right attitude towards caste. I give here one particularly moving instance of this. When the most celebrated martyr of them all- Sardar Bhagat Singh – was to be hanged he asked to touch his mother’s feet before he was killed. The British government, it may be recalled, was hanging him a day earlier than scheduled and so did not permit this. Bhagat Singh then said that he would like to go to the gallows after touching the feet of the lady who cleaned the prison toilets for she was like a mother to him. His mother used to clean him up when he was a child because she considered him her own. But the cleaning lady was no worldly relation of Bhagat Singh but yet cleaned his toilet and hence was as venerable as his mother. He was allowed this wish of his. Such is the example that the torch bearers of our freedom struggle have left for us and if we ignore it, We do so at our own peril.
