Wake Up

Wake Up

https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2015/02/wake-up-not-day-passes-without-we.html

This is an essay posted some six years back, on 26^th of August 2015. This was attracted by many readers and as many as 38 people shared the article. This in fact serves as food to us who follow Sanatan Dharma. If we do not evince interest to know about our own Dharma what will be its fate during course of time. I our culture, tradition, Shastras are lost we will have nothing to claim that we are Indians. Please read the article.

Not a day passes without us seeing a lot of negative information that is being spread about Hinduism by the social media, news media, and vested interests who want to present Hinduism in a negative light. As responsible readers we have to screen a lot of dirt people try to bring to surface about Hinduism using whatever gimmicks they have learned about the social networks. Since we have to rely upon the internet for each edition, we have to spend a lot of time to separate the propaganda and misinformation from truth. Still some news, may be on account of our misinterpretation, penetrates into our mind and blocks our thinking process. Here is an example. An educated lady, a Facebook account holder, belonging to sanathana dharama had some physical set back and was attracted by a lady who was her colleague. The friend shut her eyes for some time and declared that the victim's pain had gone. She asked the victim emphasizing whether she was relieved of the pain. The victim accepted to have relieved from pain. The Christian lady said it is on account of Christ. This is a pychological thrust on the victim compelling the mind and nothing else. This is rather a sort of persuation on the gullibles to believe their faith. I have seen a Shirdi Sai devotee also used to decive skeptic people in the same manner.   

If we think according to a logic, the event is absurd and a myth. God or his son, or his messenger who is called 'Christ' can not be there to heal physicalor mental hardships. Irf it were to be true, the entire world have embraced Cjristianity. Our affliction or exhilaration purely depend on our past deeds as our Dharma catagorically clarifies it and emphatically says that we wioll have punarjanma.

The readers might not have forgotten the way their church tried none other than mother Teresa to attain sainthood and how they failed miserably. Another lady keeping the dead body in the house with the faith that Jesus restores his life. At last she was compelled to take the corpse to cemetery on account of foul smell and the threat to epidemic deceases due to dehydration and decay. In Kerala the Christians constructed a temple with a cross on its top. Why all these imitations. Just to attract people.

God is not there to act as a doctor of miracles. Any ache or ailment is the outcome of the deeds we performed in the earlier births or even in this birth. It may even vanish by a spell. But there is no competence in such gullibles. Nobody need pray on our behalf. You have god within you. Pray him realise him. Don’t become a prey to hypocrites.
Lot of Hindus do not seem to care about their religion, but we know what kind of danger the religion and the community are currently facing in this age from organized religious propaganda and affluent organizations that want Hinduism to evaporate into History. We have to try our best to put up a brave front and fight back these elements. How long a few individuals here and there can carry the flag of Hinduism. It is very much discouraging if we see, the least attitude, and apathy shown by a majority of Hindus so far towards the few brave souls who take up its cause. There are a lot of rich influential Hindus out there, caught up in their own greed and selfishness and yet to evince interest in protecting their culture and Dharma. Let us be hopeful that people will awaken soon and notice the truth of the precarious situation through which Hinduism is passing and stand for their beliefs before it is too late.

Wake up Hindus, you have slept enough. Stop worshiping demi-gods for materialistic ends and be part of the revival, which Swami Vivekananda wanted to see in independent India. He died a hundred years ago, and here we are, just quoting him, but never truly following his vision or wisdom. Rediscover the soul of your tradition, your culture and your identity before it is completely undermined and destroyed. Think of your children, the coming generations, and their future.

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.

India will be a servile nation without its distinct culture and identity.

Yes sir,

Swamy Vivekananda had foreseen today's plight of followers of Sanatana Dharma and he cautioned us -

"When a man has begun to be ashamed of his ancestors and his past, the end has come"

Sir...this must be the anguish and anger of every Sanaatani/Hindu...We must awaken Indians to what Indian legacy actually is...Ridiculous people propagate preposterous stuff...None can alter the stance of people like you and me...The problem lies with the strata of society that stays aloof from the mainstream Dharma/religion and culture...They are the soft targets...We must eliminate this absurd contemporary concept of casteism first and then educate them on the basic tenets of the so-called Sanaatana Dharma...This would equip them with the ammunition to annihilate these vicious campaigns directed towards them...HARIHI AUM...

VANADEEP, The problem lies with the youth and their proper understanding of this dharma. Enough if they can realise the truth envisaged by swami Vivekananda. In this regard as referred by Mr. Raghunandan, above, this dharma is a palm tree which would have seen infinite creepers entwined and eradicated. Secondly as Mr. Gowri Shankar rightly reminded "Uttisthata Jagrata Prapya Varannibodhata...' (Arise! Awake! Approach the great and learn.), from Kathopanishat which was the slogan of Swami Vivekananda. When enthusiasts like you are there I am confident that a day will come when the YONG INDIA will recognize and realise the greatness of this land, ancisters and the culture where Rama, Dharmaraja, Shibi, Bali, Harischandra, Prahlaada etc taken birth.

THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA

ఇలాంటి అనుభవాలు చాలా మా మారేడుపల్లిలో జరుగుతూవంటాయి.కొంతవరకు వారితో వాదిస్తాము.సమాధానం చెప్పలేక ఒకరు వితండవాదంతో కొందరు వెళ్ళిపోయారు.ఇంకో వింత ఏమిటంటే వాకిలిముందు ముగ్గు, మామిడితోరణాలు,ఇంకా సాంప్రదాయ చిహ్నాలు వున్న ఇళ్ళల్లో కి వచ్చి ప్రచారం చేసి మనలని ఒప్పించే శ్రమ ఎంత తీసుకుంటారో వాళ్లు

A DAD'S SPEECH AT HIS DAUGHTER'S WEDDING.

I thought I would start my speech by addressing you as the new family of my daughter. But I think it would be inappropriate because now that she is married, you are the family for her. Believe me; I don't have a problem with that. I, in fact, want my daughter to have you as her priority now. Its time for us to take a backseat in her life. We would happily accept it but would surely request one thing- please keep her happy! I am more than sure that you will keep her very happy. She will perhaps be happier than what she used to be here. But like all fathers, I obsess over my daughters happiness which is making me say this over and over again- please keep her happy! She never was and will never be a burden for me. She is in fact the reason why I breathe and smile. I am getting her married because this is what the law of nature demands. I am helpless in the face of our culture and therefore sending her to your home. She was the happiness of my home and will now light up your home. I am giving my world to you. Please make sure it remains beautiful. I am giving away my princess to you. Please make sure she stays as a queen. I have raised her with my sweat and blood and now she is wonderfully perfect. For all the care, love, beauty and warmth my daughter will bring into your lives, I just want her happiness in return please keep her happy! If at times you think that my daughter has said or done something wrong, feel free to scold her. But handle her with love. She is very fragile. If at times she feels low, be with her. She just needs a little bit of your attention. If at times she feels sick, show her some care. It is the medicine that works best for her. If at times she fails to fulfill a responsibility, feel free to chastise her. But empathize with her. She is still learning. Do understand her. Please keep her happy! I don't mind if I don't get to see her for months. I don't mind if I am not able to talk to her on a daily basis. I would be more than happy if she doesn't remember me much. But, my only motive in life has been my daughters happiness which is now in your hands. I beg you, please keep her happy. Dear son-in-law, these words may not mean much to you now but if you are lucky enough to father a daughter someday, you will appreciate them better when you will find every beat of your heart shouting please keep her happy.

Last but not the least let it not be mistaken these to be only my feelings, my wife and here after your Mother-In-Law joins with me to endorse the sentiments and feelings expressed by me.

Dedicated to all fathers..............AMAZING HEART TOUCHING WRITE UP BYCheruku Ramamohanrao sir......... !!

To my daughter with love

My feelings my Dear

I have this little angel.who got happiness a lot

Then she din't know what and how much she brought

The gloom shattered with her smiles and her laughs.

Her presence made me forget all my flops

Her face, it is so perfect, she's sweet and soft and pure.

Some times ecstatic some times demure.

She works hardest to please and keep me upright.

My mind is the deck where she often board and alight

Every person who knows her sees the light within her soul

Which turns every smell into fragrance, hence an anisole

She's helpful and considerate to everyone known

This light in her,shone brighter as my angel grown.

When she sees someone is sad, it opens up her heart.

She wants to do all that she can; she wants to do her part.

She squeezes away the sorrow,making  me forget about my pain.

She shows me where the sun is when we're hiding from the rain.

I know that God must love me, He showed me with His Grace

I knew just how completely when I saw my angel's face.

And in that very moment when she came into my fold,

I never thought that, for ever my hand, she will hold

Our Glory

India is unique among the nations of the world for it's deep rooted spiritual civilization. There are forces at work today that want to suppress its spirituality and replace it with a crassly(devoid of refinement) materialistic system. This is how I read the political struggle going on in the country today.I see the present political turmoil as the outcome of forces of materialism mostly destructive in nature trying to impose an alien materialistic culture camouflaged as secularism. If they succeed, India will share the fate other ancient nations that were destroyed by the imposition of materialistic ideologies. Greece and Egypt are examples from the ancient world. American Indian civilizations destroyed by the Catholic empires of Spain and Portugal.  China at a time was engaged i think now also is engaged in destroying the highly spiritual culture of Tibet. All that the destroyers have left in these countries are imitative societies with little to call their own. A visit with inquisitiveness to any ancient country like Egypt, Greece or Mexico and see the glaring contrast between their wonderful monuments and their current cultural deprivation.This is what a materialistic ideology invariably does to a civilization.

IF YOU WANT TO WEAKEN A NATION, CONFUSE ITS IDENTITY, DISTORT ITSHERITAGE, BELITTLE ITS ACHIEVEMENTS, HIGHLIGHT ITS FAILURES, DIVIDE ITINTO AS MANY FRAGMENTS AS POSSIBLE, TARNISH ITS ANCIENT SCRIPTURES,AND REWRITE ITS HISTORY

Hence a version of history is created to turn the victims into villains and the destroyers into heroes and this is what has taken place in our case also. In defending a civilization, it is extremely important for the leaders to preserve and protect its culture and traditions. Monuments can come and go, but an awareness of history and culture must be preserved. Our ancient sages and medieval heroes largely succeeded in this. That is why our civilization has survived the assault of theocratic (guided, or is pursuant to the doctrine of a particular religion or religious group.)and imperialistic forces, while other ancient civilizations have failed to large extent. 

A young French student of the Vedas, Jean Le Mée wrote:

"Precious stones or durable materials  gold, silver, bronze, marble, onyx or granite  have been used by ancient people in an attempt to immortalize themselves. Not so however by our ancient Vedic Scholars. 

See this fact:

"The pyramids have been eroded by the desert wind, the marble broken by earthquakes, and the gold stolen by robbers, while the Veda is recited daily by an unbroken chain of generations, traveling like a great wave through the living substance of mind."

But today, so many decades of years after independence, But today a different picture stands before us. Instead of trying to preserve and perpetuate its ancient heritage, and build upon it, the political party that claims to have brought freedom from colonial rule is trying to glorify the destroyers and even restore foreign rule! How do we explain this? For all the period after independence, the leaders have failed to build national institutions rooted in the culture and the history of the land. Instead, they have been trying to import ideas and models from their former colonial masters. This has now reached its absurd limit with the party claiming to have fought for freedom from European rule asking a European to lead them and the country! This is enough to make one wonder if these leaders really understand the meaning of nationalism. I hope   they do not .

DAD

A Dad is a person 

who is loving and kind, 

And often he knows 

what you have on your mind. 

He's someone who listens, 

suggests, and defends. 

A dad can be one 

of your very best friends! 

He's proud of your triumphs, 

but when things go wrong, 

A dad can be patient 

and helpful and strong 

In all that you do, 

a dad's love plays a part. 

There's always a place for him 

deep in your heart. 

HIRA

You are a princess in my heart,
And I care for you so much.
I love the fondness in your eyes 

And your tender little touch.

I looked at you when you were born,
The snap I never allowed to go away,
I  stood before you eagerly looking,
From you, for a touchy mild sway

You bring to me a heart of joy,And memories so great,

And a powerful sense of fatherhood 

To a daughter like you with no debate

I watch you sleep and dream of things that I can only wounder

That innocent look upon your face just makes my heart grow fonder.

I see you run and jump and shout and calling out my name.
No love that I have ever known could ever feel the same.

No suffering or tragedy nor deeply seated pain

Could ever over shadow the bond that we retain.

And so my little princess before you go to sleep,
Remember I am your daddy and I am yours to keep.

 

MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE

ance-manager-asked-do-you-have.html

The M anager asked: "Do you have any sales xperience?"
The Indian said: "Sir, I was a salesman back home in India”
Well, the boss liked the Indian chappie so he gave him
the job. "You start tomorrow.. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough but he got through it.
After the store was locked up, the boss came down.
"How many sales did you make today?"
Indian boy says: "Sir, Just ONE sale."
The boss says: "Just one? No! No! No! You see here our
sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day." If you
want to keep this job, you'd better be doing better
than just one sale. By the way, how much was the sale for?"
Indian boy says: " $101 237. 64"
Boss says: "$101 237. 64? What the hell did you sell?"
Indian boy says: "Sir, First I sold him small
fishhook. Then I sold him medium fishhook.
Then I sold him large fishhook.
Then I sold him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.
Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said
down on the coast, so I told him he'll be needing a
boat, so we went down to the boating department and I
sold him twin engine Chris Craft.
Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would
pull it, so I took him down to our automotive
department and sold him that 4X4 Blazer.
I then asked him where he'd be staying, and since he
had no accommodation, I took him to camping department and sold him one of those new igloo 6 sleeper camper tents.
Then the guy said, while we're at it, I should throw
in about $100 worth of groceries and two cases of
beer.
The boss said: "You're not serious? A guy came in here
to buy a fishhook and you sold him a boat, a 4X4 truck and a tent?"Indian boy says: "No Sirji, actually he came in to buy Anacin for his headache, and I said: Well, fishing is
the best way to relax your mind."

Hope you enjoyed the genius of an Indian.
