విలువైన మాట -PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT


కో లాభః? గుణి సంగమః, కిం సుఖం? ప్రాజ్ఞతరై సంగతి:

కా హాని? సమయచ్యుతి, నిపుణతా కా?ధర్మ తత్వే రతి:

కిం శూరః?విజితేంద్రియ:;ప్రియతమా కా?సువ్రతా. కిం ధనం?

విద్యా, కిం సుఖం?మప్రవాస గమనం రాజ్యం కిం?మాజ్ఞా ఫలం. 

అర్థము:--మనకు లాభం కలిగించేది సద్గుణాలు కలిగిన సజ్జనుల సాంగత్యము. ఇబ్బంది కలిగించే విషయం 

ప్రాజ్ఞులు కాని పామరుల సాంగత్యం, విలువైన సమయాన్ని వృథాగా గడపటం అనేది మనకు హాని 

కలిగిస్తుంది.(సమయము చాలా విలువైనది దాన్ని వృథాగా గడప కూడదు). నైపుణ్యం సిద్ధించాలంటే  

ధర్మాన్ని గురించి తెలుసుకోవాలనే ఆసక్తి . జితేంద్రియత కలిగియుండవలెను. వాడే శూరుడనబడతాడు. 

అనుకూలవతి యైన భార్యయే ప్రియతమురాలు. విద్యయే నిజమైన ధనం. సుఖమంటే ఏమిటి?

విదేశాలకు పోకుండా స్వదేశం లోనే వుండి వున్న దానితో తృప్తి పడి జీవించటం .నీ ఆదేశం ఎంత మేర 

వరకు చెల్లుబాటవుతుందో అంతవరకే నీ రాజ్యం.

Friendship with the virtuous is beneficial for character building. It is always the best to keep away from selfish and greedy. Spending time in gossips is suicidal. Time will never wait for us. To become an expert in following the righteous path learn about the dos and don'ts from the right guru (Here Guru need not be a teacher, any body who can lead you in the right direction.). Here, control over the sensory organs is to be perfected. That will make you remain undettered by the circumstances. The thickest friend is wife, They should always endure to be  the admixture of milk and water.  Knowledge and Education form the real wealth. Happiness is that which comes only by contentment and not by going abroad for earning wealth. Your kingdom is only upto that extent till which, your word is final.

THE STORY BEHIND ARTICLE 370 (Why it was incorporated)

First, why was Article 370 inserted in the Constitution? Or as the great poet and thinker, Maulana Hasrat Mohini, asked in the Constituent Assembly on October 17, 1949: “Why this discrimination please?” The answer was given by Nehru’s confidant, the wise but misunderstood Thanjavur Brahmin, Gopalaswami Ayyangar (Minister without portfolio in the first Union Cabinet, a former Diwan to Maharajah Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir, and the principal drafter of Article 370). Ayyangar argued that for a variety of reasons Kashmir, unlike other princely states, was not yet ripe for integration. India had been at war with Pakistan over Jammu and Kashmir and while there was a ceasefire, the conditions were still “unusual and abnormal.” Part of the State’s territory was in the hands of “rebels and enemies.” The involvement of the United Nations brought an international dimension to this conflict, an

“Entanglement” which would end only when the “Kashmir problem is satisfactorily resolved.” Finally, Ayyangar argued that the “will of the people through the instrument of the [J&K] Constituent Assembly will determine the constitution of the State as well as the sphere of Union jurisdiction over the State.” In sum, there was hope that J&K would one day integrate like other States of the Union (hence the use of the term “temporary provisions” in the title of the Article), but this could happen only when there was real peace and only when the people of the State acquiesced to such an arrangement. Second, did Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel oppose Article 370? To reduce the Nehru-Patel relationship to Manichean terms is to caricature history, and this is equally true of their attitude towards Jammu and Kashmir. Nehru was undoubtedly idealistic and romantic about Kashmir. He wrote: “Like some supremely

beautiful woman, whose beauty is almost impersonal and above human desire, such was Kashmir in all its feminine beauty of river and valley...” Patel had a much more earthy and pragmatic view and — as his masterly integration of princely states demonstrated — little time for capricious state leaders or their separatist tendencies.

But while Ayyangar negotiated — with Nehru’s backing — the substance and scope of Article 370 with Sheikh Abdullah and other members from J&K in the Constituent Assembly (including Mirza Afzal Beg and Maulana Masoodi), Patel was very much in the loop. And while Patel was deeply skeptical of a “state becoming part of India” and not “recognising ... [India’s] fundamental rights and directive principles of

State policy,” he was aware of, and a party to, the final outcome on Article 370.

Negotiations Indeed, the synergy that Patel and Nehru brought to governing India is evident in the negotiations over Article 370. Consider this. In October 1949, there was a tense standoff between Sheikh Abdullah and Ayyangar over parts of Article 370 (or Article 306A as it was known during the drafting stage). Nehru was

in the United States, where — addressing members of the U.S. Congress — he said: “Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.”

Meanwhile, Ayyangar was struggling with the Sheik, and later even threatened to resign from the Constituent Assembly. “You have left me even more distressed than I have been since I received your last letter … I feel weighted with the responsibility of finding a solution for the difficulties that, after Panditji left for America ... have been created … without adequate excuse,” he wrote to the Sheik on October 15. And who did Ayyangar turn to, in this crisis with the Sheik, while Nehru was abroad? None other than the Sardar himself. Patel, of course, was not enamored by the Sheik, who he thought kept changing course. He wrote to Ayyangar: “Whenever Sheikh Sahib wishes to back out, he always confronts us with his duty to the people.” But it was Patel finally who managed the crisis and navigated most of the amendments sought of the Sheikh through the Congress party and the Constituent Assembly to ensure that Article 370 became part of the Indian Constitution.

Third, is Article 370 still intact in its original form? One of the biggest myths is the belief that the “autonomy” as envisaged in the Constituent Assembly is intact. A series of Presidential Orders has eroded Article 370 substantially. While the 1950 Presidential Order and the Delhi Agreement of 1952 defined the scope and substance of the relationship between the Center and the State with the support

of the Sheik, the subsequent series of Presidential Orders have made most Union laws applicable to the State. In fact today the autonomy enjoyed by the State is a shadow of its former self, and there is virtually no institution of the Republic of India that does not include J&K within its scope and jurisdiction. The only substantial differences from many other States relate to permanent residents and their rights;

the non-applicability of Emergency provisions on the grounds of “internal disturbance” without the concurrence of the State; and the name and boundaries of the State, which cannot be altered without the consent of its legislature. Remember J&K is not unique; there are special provisions for several States which are listed in Article 371 and Articles 371-A to 371-I. Fourth, can Article 370 be revoked unilaterally? Clause 3 of Article 370 is clear. The President may, by public notification, declare that this Article shall cease to be operative but only on the recommendation of the Constituent Assembly of the State. In other words, Article 370 can be revoked only if a new Constituent Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir is convened and is willing to recommend its revocation. Of course, Parliament has the power to amend the Constitution to change this provision. But this could be

subject to a judicial review which may find that this clause is a basic feature of the relationship between the State and the Center and cannot, therefore, be amended.

Gender bias? Fifth, is Article 370 a source of gender bias in disqualifying women from the State of property rights?

Article 370 itself is gender neutral, but the definition of Permanent Residents in the State Constitution — based on the notifications issued in April 1927 and June 1932 during the Maharajah’s rule — was thought to be discriminatory. The 1927 notification included an explanatory note which said: “The wife or a widow

of the State Subject … shall acquire the status of her husband as State Subject of the same Class as her Husband, so long as she resides in the State and does not leave the State for permanent residence outside the State.” This was widely interpreted as suggesting also that a woman from the State who marries outside the State would lose her status as a State subject. However, in a landmark judgment, in October 2002, the full bench of J&K High Court, with one judge dissenting, held that the daughter of a permanent resident of the State will not lose her permanent resident status on marrying a person who is not a permanent resident, and will enjoy all rights, including property rights.

Finally, has Article 370 strengthened separatist tendencies in J&K? Article 370 was and is about providing space, in matters of governance, to the people of a State who felt deeply vulnerable about their identity and insecure about the future. It was about empowering people, making people feel that they belong, and about increasing the accountability of public institutions and services. Article 370 is synonymous with decentralization and devolution of power, phrases that have been on the charter of

virtually every political party in India. There is no contradiction between wanting J&K to be part, of the national mainstream and the State’s desire for self-governance as envisioned in the Article. Separatism grows when people feel disconnected from the structures of power and the process of policy formulation; in contrast, devolution ensures popular participation in the running of the polity. It can be reasonably argued that it is the erosion of Article 370 and not its creation which has aggravated

separatist tendencies in the State. Not surprisingly, at the opposition conclave in Srinagar in 1982, leaders of virtually all national parties, including past and present allies of the BJP, declared that the “special constitutional status of J&K under Article 370 should be preserved and protected in letter and spirit.” A review of its policy on Article 370, through an informed debate, would align today’s BJP with the considered and reflective approach on J&K articulated by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Only then would the slogans of Jhumuriyat, Kashmiriyat and Insaniyat make real sense.

A LETTER TO RAHUL GANDHI BY SHRI KRISHNA KULKARNI
(Mahatama Gandhi's great grandson)

This is the letter sent by Mahatmaa Gandhi great Grand son to Rahul. Will they atleast act now.

Mahatama Gandhi's great grandson Shrikrishna Kulkarni's open letter to
Rahul Gandhi in response to the Congress VP saying the RSS had killed
Gandhi...

Dear Rahul Gandhi,

Gandhiji was my great grandfather.

He
was assassinated by Mr. Nathuram Godse. Many inquiry commissions have
researched the case and none has implicated the RSS. My grandfather
Ramdas Gandhi wrote to the then Home Minister, Sadar Patel to spare Mr.
Godse the capital punishment -- our family had moved on even
then...but...just for your information..when Ramdas Gandhi lay dying in
Mumbai (1969), Mr. Gopal Godse, the younger brother of Mr. Nathuram
Godse did pay him a visit. So as it stands, this issue is squarely in
the past and my family has moved on....

....my humble suggestion
-- you folks who own Congress (I) and your good self...should move on
AND QUIT milking the name Gandhi and this issue for your selfish
benefits. Have the magnanimity to accept the verdicts of the various
commissions.

To
keep harping that the RSS killed Gandhi is akin
to saying the Sikhs killed your father...which would be such a petty
falsehood isn't it? A couple of guys don't make for a community....

So
please stop this charade, stop this opportunistic usage of the Gandhi
name. You are not from the Gandhi family. You have fooled too many
people for too long in India. Stop it now.

I am putting this in the public domain as someone from the Gandhi family has to call your bluff.

Yours sincerely,

Shrikrishna Kulkarni

 Gautham Kashyap All ways congress people played the same cheapest trick to cheat people .. as if they respected Mahatma Gandhi, The Incarnation of Humanity, Truth and Non Violence . They rejected all the wishes of Mahatma Gandhi. What ever Gandhi asked requested and begged they bluntly rejected. Gandhiji demaned Prohibition on Liquor.. they rejected to Ban. Gandhiji demanded ban on Go Vadha. Even Muslim League accepted for this. But not Congress leaders..the so called followers of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi ji demaded to ban Religious Conversions. Congress leaders so called followers of Gandhiji rejected to Ban. Gandhiji and Ambedkar rejected to give reservations on the name of Religious minorities. but Congress gave. Gandhiji Wanted to resolve Congress Party after independence. They rejected. He knows very well that they cheat innocent people on the name of Congress and on the name of Gandhi. We can never see such cheapest party that ditched it's own father anywhere in the world. Never Never Never Congress leaders satisfied or fulfilled the wishes of Mahatma Gandhi in the entire history of Congress party even then they claim they respect Gandhiji ...!!!!

MODERN SCIENCE BOWS BEFORE VEDIC KNOWLEDGE (NIKOLA TESLA AN ALTRUISTIC SCIENTIST)

Modern Science Bows Before Vedic Knowledge 

(Nikola Tesla An Altruistic Scientist)

  https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2016/07/modern-science-bows-before-vedic.html

 The Influence of Vedic Philosophy on Nikola Tesla’s Idea of Free Energy

Today, physicists recognize that physical atoms are actually made up of 

vortices of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating. At its 

smallest observable level, matter is energy, and this energy that exists all 

around us can be tapped into and possibly used to generate power.

Scientists began to explore the relationship between energy and the 

structure of matter at the turn of the 19th century, this is approximately the 

time when the idea of a Newtonian material universe was dropped from 

the heart of scientific knowing, and replaced by the fact that matter is 

nothing but an illusion, that everything in the universe is made out of 

energy.

“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t 

understood it yet. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be 

regarded as real.” – Niels Bohr, a Danish Physicist.

“Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is 

immaterial-mental and spiritual.” – R.C. Henry, Professor of physics and 

Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. For anybody to label the 

merging of ‘spirituality’ and science as pseudoscience means they have 

not properly investigated it. Spiritual concepts of our ancient world are 

directly intertwined with modern-day science, more so quantum physics, 

and Nikola Tesla was well aware of this.

“All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuti beyond 

conception, filling all space, the Akasha or aluminiferous ether, which is 

acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into 

existence, in never-ending cycles all things and phenomena.”– Nikola 

Tesla.

Modern Science Bows Before Vedic Knowledge - 2

(Nikola Tesla An Altruistic Scientist)

 Tesla was aware of ancient concepts and the correlation it had with the science he 

was working on -using Sanskrit worlds like “akasha,” and “prana” to describe the 

force and matter that exists all around us. These words come from the Upanishads 

(Vedanta).

“The aakaash is not destructible, it is the primordial absolute substratum that creates 

cosmic matter and hence the properties of aakaash are not found in the material 

properties that are in a sense relative. 'AkAsam gaganam sUnyam'. The aakaash is 

the eternally existent, super-fluid reality, for which creation and destruction are 

inapplicable.” – (Idham thadhakshare parame vyoman. Parame vyoman) – 

Paramahamsa Tewari, Engineer, Physicist and Inventor. (source)

Nikola Tesla had correlations with Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), who was  the 

most famous and influential spiritual leader of the philosophies of Vedanta (one of 

the six schools of Hindu philosophy, the term originally referred to the Upanishads, a 

collection of philosophical texts in Hinduism) and Yoga.

Vivekananda wrote a letter to Tesla in the late 1800's stating“Mr. Tesla thinks, he can 

demonstrate mathematically, that force and matter are reducible to potential energy. 

I am to go and see him next week to get this new mathematical demonstration. In 

that case the Vedāntic cosmology will be placed on the top of the foundations. I am 

working a good deal now upon the cosmology and eschatology described in 

Vedanta. I clearly see the hypothesis offered by Vedanta has perfect union with 

modern science, and the elucidation of the one will be followed by that of the 

other.” 

– Swami Vivekananda (Complete Works, VOL. V, Fifth Edition, 1347, p. 77). (1)

Tesla began using the Sanskrit words after meeting with Swami, and after studying 

the Eastern view of the true nature of reality, about the mechanisms that drive the 

material world. Eventually, it led him to the basis for the wireless transmission of 

electrical power, what is known as the Tesla Coil Transformer. During this year he 

made the following comments during a speech before the American Institute of 

Electrical Engineers. (Given before he familiarized himself with the the Vedic sincere 

of the eastern nations of India, Tibet, and Nepal.)

GRUHE GRUHECHA PUNARAPI

(Let Sanskrit Be Spoken In Each And Every House Again)

 https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2016/07/vadatu-samskrutam-gruhe-gruhecha.html

It is strange, pathetic and shameful on the part of all those concerned to enabling the children of intermediate class , with special reference to both the Telengana and Andhra states, to prefer Sanskrit as the language in lieu of Telugu just for the reason that the children start it from alphabets and hence no burden on them. Moreover it will fetch 90% to 98% of marks. My guess is that there are 75 million students studying Sanskrit in India; however, are learning nothing.  If India really cares about its classical heritage, it needs to figure a way to improve its teaching this great language.

 

Students flock to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT); they acquire PhD s, but mostly they become businessmen or big organisations of the like; they don’t grow up to become scholars. If this class and cream of professional scholars are exposed to Sanskrit the fund of wisdom they encompass will be beyond calculations. Everybody cares about science and management. Then who is going to care his own mother tongue and its mother Sanskrit. Money and status are not all that is required for an individual, one can eat only to the extent he can consume for which some earning is required which includes shelter and clothing. Why the rest of the money God only Knows.  As regards status it will prevail as long as one is active in the society after which nobody cares. So my request is to pay a little attention to read these few lines and give a reasonable thought to them. There is a famous line in the Ramayana, where Vibhishana says to Ravana that there are many people who speak trash to please but how many people will tell what is true as they know that it sounds bitter.

 

VADATU SAMSKRUTAM GRUHE GRUHECHA PUNARAPI -- 2

 

Sanskrit is not actually to learn but to earn with sky as the limit. It can be compared to sky. The more you go up the more it goes up. To obtain profundity in that language one has to first acquire adequate knowledge in his mother tongue. After all Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. This has to come from childhood and parents, special reference to mother, should invariably take the responsibility of equipping him with good knowledge of the mother tongue.

 Conditions that are conducive to a vibrant, creative, joyful world of Sanskrit are possible only when the child is adept at his mother tongue. In many cases, one needs a coherent and supportive structure of patronage. 20th century had replaced the mother tongue by English which does not have structural basement as much as our native languages.

In the 21st century, we need a political environment that is open and inclusive and embodies the inclusive energies of the great Sanskrit tradition, and not a divisive exclusionary, majoritarian and unhappy environment. It can’t come out of a sense of humiliation; it has to come out of a sense of pride and joy.

Sanskrit is not the preserve of any one group but a preservative for all the groups; the committed learners will take no time to know about the beauty and richness of this language.

 

. How to explain the growth of a global language like English? It was practically nothing in global terms, in the 13th century AD — like Latin, which was the language of a barbarian tribe in the Tiber valley. In contrast, Sanskrit was the language of religious professionals from the time immemorial.  Why do some languages rise to global status and others have their regional power and yet others have very local existences? Any Indian language has its place in their own order. Destiny may be an enigma. Language of any state special reference to South India, Bengal, Oria, Gujarti Marathi etc. of our country were being spoken more the respective population  was more than Latin, the mother of English, in the seventh century AD.  Then how this little language from Tiber Valley became a global cultural powerhouse. The simplest reason is they didn’t have an imperial army. They became the scape goats in the hands of unworthy, selfish, greedy and Hippocratic politicians.

 

Deceits like Max Muller, William Jones, Macaulay and Robert Caldwell manipulated in their own way to belittle our culture, our Land and our mother language to impose their own culture and language by injecting among us, the subjects under their rule, then. It was a slow poison that crept up in all our bodies and hence we are in an insane state now and skeptic about what way to take.

 

 You know even today, including all the unprint manuscripts there are more books in Sanskrit than any other world languages that includes English also. Still there are innumerable number of manuscripts lying untouched, unread. Why are they not being edited and published? Who will read if they are published? My daughter  while she was in 5th or 6th standard at Holy Angels Madras, I posed a question to her "why don't you read Indian stories of our culture, She replied when our medium of education is English , we can read books in English only and thus we imbibe their culture only." I could have an answer. I could have told that books of our culture are also there in English but there came an advice within myself that we cannot get the desired taste of laddu if it is prepared with wheat flour instead of besan.

It was the beauty of Sanskrit alankaras and chandas that interested people of China, Thailand and Java. They wanted to write Sanskrit poetry in Thai, Chinese and Javanese. The Chinese referred to it as beautiful sounds. This was in the ninth century; now people have begun to study the influence of Sanskrit poetry on Chinese. One of the things that the Murty Classical Library — being set up by Narayan Murty’s family — is that it wants to provide real evidence for India’s classical past, with the hope of dispelling fantasies about the classical past, whether it is to do with ancient surgeries or intergalactic vimanas. The Murty classical library will be providing real evidence for people around the world to get deeply into Indian cultural history on the basis of real evidence — and not on mere fantastical stories.

 

So, now the time has come that we should wake up and look around what is happening and how avert the various threats posed by the beasts in human disguise.

 

VADATU SAMSKRUTAM GRUHE GRUHECHA PUNARAPI--3

(Let Sanskrit Be Spoken In Each And Every House Again)

 

Let us know the most amazing facts about Sanskrit.

 

Sanskrit has the largest vocabulary of all languages in the world. 1 kharvamu, 02 arbudamu, 78 koti 50 lakhala (102,78,50,00000) words have been used till now in Sanskrit. If it will be used in computers & technology, then more than these number of words will be used in next 100 years.

 Sanskrit has the power to say a sentence in a minimum number of words than any other language.

 Germany spends more on Sanskrit education than India. America has Sanskrit studies depts in Harvard, UT Austin, U Chicago, Brown, Princeton, ++. NASA has a department to research on Sanskrit manuscripts.

 Sanskrit is the most computer-friendly language.(Ref: Forbes Magazine July 1987, Bill Gates, NASA). Sanskrit and all derived Prakruta languages like Telugu, Marathi, Gujrati, Can be computationally and fully parsed into English with Computational Linguistics.

 Sanskrit is a highly regularized language. In fact, NASA declared it to be the “only unambiguous spoken language on the planet” – and very suitable for computer comprehension.

 Sanskrit is an official language of the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Muttur gram in Karnataka speaks and conducts affairs in Sanskrit language only.

There is a report by a NASA scientist that America is creating 6th and 7th generation super computers based on Sanskrit language. Project deadline is 2025 for 6th generation and 2034 for 7th generation computer. After this there will be a revolution all over the world to learn Sanskrit.

 The language is rich in most advanced science, contained in Vedas, Upanishads, Shruti, Smriti, Puranas, Mahabharata, Ramayana etc. (Ref: Russian State University, NASA etc. NASA possesses 60,000 palm leaf manuscripts, which they are studying.)

 Learning of Sanskrit improves brain functioning. Students start getting better marks in other subjects like Mathematics, Science etc., which some people find difficult. It enhances memory power. James Junior School, London, has made Sanskrit compulsory. Students of this school are among the toppers year after year. This has been followed by some schools in Ireland also.

 Research has shown that the phonetics of this language has roots in various energy points of the body and reading, speaking or reciting Sanskrit stimulates these points and raises the energy levels, whereby resistance against illnesses, relaxation to mind and reduction of stress are achieved.

 Sanskrit is the only language, which uses all the nerves of the tongue. By its pronunciation, energy points in the body are activated that causes the blood circulation to improve. This, coupled with the enhanced brain functioning and higher energy levels, ensures better health. Blood Pressure, diabetes, cholesterol etc. are controlled. (Ref: American Hindu University)

 There are reports that Russians, Germans and Americans are actively doing research on Hindu’s sacred books and are producing them back in their names. Seventeen countries around the world have a University or two to study Sanskrit to gain technological advantages.

Surprisingly, it is not just a language. Sanskrit is the primordial conduit between Human Thought and the Soul; Physics and Metaphysics; Subtle and Gross; Culture and Art; Nature and its Author; Created and the Creator.

 Sanskrit is the scholarly language of 3 major World religions – Hinduism, Buddhism (along with Pali) and Jainism (second to Prakrit).

 Today, there are a handful of Indian villages (in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh) where Sanskrit is still spoken as the main language. For example in the village of Mattur in Karnataka, more than 90% of the population knows Sanskrit. Mathur/Mattur is a village 10 kms from Shimoga and speaks Sanskrit for day-to-day communication.

 

 Sanskrit daily newspaper, Sudharma, published out of Mysore, has been running since 1970 and is now available online as an e-paper (sudharma.epapertoday.com)!

 The best type of calendar being used is Hindu calendar(as the New Year starts with the geological change of the solar system)

(Ref: German state unive The UK is presently researching on a defence system based on Hindu’s shri chakra.

Another interesting fact about Sanskrit language was that the process of introducing new words into the language continued for a long period until it was stopped by the great grammarian Panini who wrote an entire grammar for the language laying down rules for the derivation of each and every word in Sanskrit and disallowed the introducing of new words by giving a full list of Roots and Nouns. Even after Panini, some changes occur which were regularised by Vararuchi and finally by Patanjali. Any infringement of the rules as laid down by Patanjali was regarded as a grammatical error and hence the Sanskrit Language has remained in same without any change from the date of Patanjali (about 250 B.C.) up to this day.

 संस्कृत is the only language in the world that exists since millions of years. Millions of languages that emerged from Sanskrit are dead and millions will come but Sanskrit will remain eternal. It is truly language of Bhagwan. Wealth of information on Sanskrit language.

. The most life critical books published thousands of years ago are 100% intact and available. Among them, Bhagvad Gita, Yoga sutra, Bhagavatam, Upanishads,

 Sanskrit is a scientifically discovered language, discovered by sages and rishis, with sounds based on ध्वनीशास्त्र.

Muddy water and food muddy up body. Clean water and food clean body and keep it functioning correctly without breakdown for the longest time. The same is true for language and mind. Sanskrit and its derivative Prakrutam languages are the medium of choice for clear, concise and effective communication worldwide. Try it and see.

Sanskrit is the only language with sacredness built in its sounds like OM. OM and mantra chanting elevates consciousness, intelligence and peace of mind.

In most Indian languages, upto 90% words are derived from  संस्क्रुत. Most of them have 50%+ words, almost same as Sanskrit. Anyone can learn Sanskrit in 12-18 months with a 4 hr. investment per week. Bite size books are published by Bharatiya Sanskrit Bhavan and available in Pune ABC and major cities. Major cities around the world have chapters of Samskrit Bharati

When in Mattur, speak the Mother of all Tongues!

SHIVAMOGGA: If there's a village which has one foot in Vedic times and another in the 21st century, it's Mattur, tucked away in verdant Shivamogga district where men, women and children would be more likely to say 'bhavati kusalam' rather than 'oota aaytha.." And that's because from age immemorial, a child is schooled to think, eat and speak Sanskrit.

Located on the banks of the River Tunga, Mattur holds the distinction of being one of the handful of villages where residents still converse in Sanskrit. It is mainly inhabited by the Sanketis, a Brahmin community that settled down in Mattur about 800 years ago. A large chunk of the Sanketis are believed to have migrated to Karnataka from a place called Shankottai on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border. For a religious scholar or seer, it is a delight to hear people speaking the language so fluently.

Till the early 1980s, Sanskrit was considered the language of the upper caste Brahmins, which is not true in fact. It was then that the priest of the local religious centre asked residents to adopt Sanskrit as their native language. At present, the village's population is around 3,000, with 600 Brahmins among them. In all, the Sanketi population in the country is 30,000-40,000.

During a convention of Sanketis held in Mattur in 2010, a team of scholars had gone to Shankottai to trace the links of the Sanketis. But they were unable to find any similarity between the culture and ways of living of the two communities.

Most residents of the village, small children included, can fluently speak Sanskrit and almost everyone understands the language. Young boys are taught Vedas from the age of ten at the local school where English is also taught. Gamaka art, the ancient traditional art form of singing and storytelling is also practised in Mattur.

Sanskrit is the common language on the streets -- from the vegetable vendor to priest, everyone speaks the ancient language. The younger generation wears jeans, T-shirts and rides hi-tech bikes, but when they speak, it's in Sanskrit. That does not mean Mattur is detached from the modern world. Almost every house in this village has an IT professional, with many of them employed abroad.

Sanskrit scholar Mattur Srinidhi told Deccan Chronicle that "though Sanskrit is an informal and friendly language, no one is enthusiastic about it in modern times. Maybe Sanskrit reached a saturation point after a phase of development," he said, explaining why the language lost its popularity.

In 1981, youth leader Chamu Krishna Shastry and a few others approached scholar Na. Krishnappa and said they would like to start a journal in Sanskrit to create awareness in society about the language.

Mr. Krishnappa replied that a journal could be launched but people should also be taught to understand and speak the language fluently. Mr. Shastry then launched the 'Speak Sanskrit Movement '(Samskrita Bharati) which now exists in 37 countries across the world. Books to teach Sanskrit have been introduced at the nursery level thanks to this movement.

There is a quiet revolution happening in the language of the sages, with new words being added to it. If new words and derivatives are found, they are referred to the Aksharam Unit of Samskrita Bharati in Bengaluru, where promotional activities are undertaken. 

The government is doing its bit and has declared that Sanskrit Day be observed on Poornima (full moon) day in the month of Shravana (July-August) every year. The language continues to offer researchers a treasure trove of knowledge with references to the speed of light and loss of weight traced to the Sanskrit shlokas by Vedic scholar Vidyaranya. Sanskrit hymns are associated with medicinal value - for instance, it is believed that the chanting of the 'Gayatri Mantra' activates certain cells in the human body.

Sanskrit continues to fascinate the modern mind with the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, undertaking research on 'Bhagavadgita in Management' which proves that the Gita is not just a sacred book of the Hindus but can also offer nuggets of wisdom to management students, Mr. Srinidhi concluded. For those who love to delve into history and hunger to hear how the ancients spoke, a trip to Mattur could provide a lot of answers.

Swasthi,

Wake up Bharath

Wake up Bharath

A new "quit India movement" has arisen in recent years. Unlike the old quit India movement, which was established by Indian freedom fighters in the early part of the century to remove the British rule from India, the recent movement has an opposite intent-to embrace Western materialist culture and abandon traditional Hindu culture and spirituality perhaps altogether. 

This movement is very strong in India itself, particularly among so-called modern Hindus, who are largely Western educated and trained to look at their native tradition with alien values and suspicious eyes. The intellectual elite of India takes pride in being in contact with the latest developments in Western culture, art, science and technology, while remaining ignorant and unappreciative of traditional Hindu teachings.

Shiva Lingam -- Meaning

Shiva Lingam

Shiva Lingam is the most widely misunderstood concept in Hinduism. As per Manusmriti there are 16 different meanings for Lingam. Meaning suitable to the context has to be taken while explaining the concept.

Limah Gamayiteeti Linga (That which originates from the condition of absorption is Lingam)

Lim Gamayiteeti Linga (That which reaches the condition of absorption is Lingam)

Lim means absorbed condition of knowledge or consciousness. Matter originates from consciousness and finally gets absorbed back into consciousness. The nature comes into existence, exists and is later absorbed. This process is repeated in a cyclic manner in nature. Since from the Leena (absorbed) condition it is going forward (Gamayati) so the name Lingam. Linga sound indicates the principle, which is the cause of creation, sustenance and absorption. All the meaning of Linga sound are related to the condition of absorption. For example tree comes into existence from absorption and finally once decayed the tree will merge (absorbed) in nature. The nature originates from Shiva and later gets absorbed in it. The blending of absorbed Shiva and Sakti is Shiva Lingam where Shakti is prakriti and Siva is the principle beyond consciousness.

A Letter From Baldy To Goldy

A Letter From Baldy To Goldy 

Hira my Goldy

Do you know how much to me you mean

Tiny atom growing into a tall mountain

For my thirst a nectar fountain 

You came from within, from just my heart.
Now for my home you are a vital  part

Till I live I can't think you apart 
Though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me a whirl, 
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes you feel I'm harsh and so unfair, 
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly, 
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
You are growing fast to womanhood, this fact you must know, 

A great Oak from little acorn A dolphin from minnow
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.

A fragrant colorful plant I sowed many moons ago 

You must stand up tall and proud, within  feeling  no fear
For, all dreams and goals have sit before you very near
With Gods' love in your heart, any time you make avail
You are ever my lovely winner, victory can't trail but prevail

my feelings and thoughts, made me to shove 

Along with heaps of your Mother's heartfelt love

Made me write these blessing lines 
consisting of doting mines
To see all rhythm in thy life 

Your devoted deeds to rife

Dad yours,Baldy
