Happy Vijaydashmi

A poem composed on "Vijay Dashami" 2006 ... revisiting it today :-

अच्छाई की बुराई पर विजय,

अधर्म की धर्म द्वारा पराजय।

यही है हमारा भारत देश,

जिसने दिया विश्व को यह सन्देश।


विनाश की ओर अग्रसर हो रहा है देश,

भुला दिया है विजयदशमी का पावन सन्देश।

बेईमानी और लालच की चादर मे लिपटा है मानव,

भुला कर ईमानदारी लग रहा है दानव।


ईमानदारी की बेईमानी पर होती है जीत,

विजयदशमी गाती है यही पावन संगीत।

शोषण और दुराचार की चपेट मे है समाज,

भ्रष्ट नेता कर रहे है जंता पर राज।


अन्याय की न्याय द्वारा होती है सर्वदा हार,

विजयदशमी का यही है पावन त्योहार ।

फैली है समाज मे अमानवीयता,

गहरे सन्कट मे है इस देश की भारतीयता।


सदाचारी की दुराचारी पर विजय है निश्चित,

विजयदशमी करती है इस अटल सत्य को सुनिश्चित ।

आतंकवाद के भय से कांप रहा है देश-विदेश,

धर्म के नाम पर फैलाया जा रहा है अधर्म का उपदेश।


प्रत्येक रावण को अब लंका सहित जलाना होगा।

विश्व को विजयदशमी का सन्देश देना होगा,

विजयदशमी के पर्व पर, आज प्रण हमे लेना होगा,


प्रत्येक भारतीय को अपने भीतर श्रीराम को जन्म देना होगा।

विजयदशमी के पर्व पर, आज संकल्प हमे लेना होगा,

भारतवर्ष मे रामराज्य स्थापित करना होगा।

Sri Aurobindo - Gita, Vasudev, Sanatan Dharma and India

100 years back, on 30th May 1909, a man delivered his last political speech before retiring from active political life and moving to Puduchery for his spiritual pursuits. He was Sri Aurobindo.

http://www.searchforlight.org/Anubhuti/Anubhuti%20Vol%202/UttarpadaSpeech.htm

You'll enjoy the speech if you read through full text but for those with time constraints ... :), highlights are given below

* How he saw Vasudev (Shri Krishna) everywhere in Jail, his conversations with God (Vasudev) and also how Vasudev helped him.

I looked the jail that secluded me from men and it was no longer by its high walls that I was imprisoned; no, it was Vasudeva who surrounded me. I walked under the branches of the tree in front of my cell but it was not the tree, I knew it was Vasudeva, it was Sri Krishna whom I saw standing there and holding over me his shade.

* Bhagavad Gita and Sanatan Dharma.

Then He placed the Gita in my hands. His strength entered into me and I was able to do the sadhana of the Gita. I was not only to understand intellectually but to realise what Sri Krishna demanded of Arjuna and what He demands of those who aspire to do His work, to be free from repulsion and desire, to do work for Him without the demand for fruit, to renounce self-will and become a passive and faithful instrument in His hands, to have an equal heart for high and low, friend and opponent, success and failure, yet not to do His work negligently. I realised what the Hindu religion meant. We speak often of the Hindu religion, of the Sanatan Dharma, but few of us really know what that religion is. Other religions are preponderatingly religions of faith and profession, but the Sanatan Dharma is life itself; it is a thing that has not so much to be believed as lived.

Above description is what Gita explains as 'Karma-Yoga'.

* India's rise, nationalism and Sanatan Dharma

She (India) does not rise as other countries do, for self or when she is strong, to trample on the weak. She is rising to shed the eternal light entrusted to her over the world. India has always existed for humanity and not for herself and it is for humanity and not for herself that she must be great.......When therefore it is said that India shall rise, it is the Sanatan Dharma that shall be great........I spoke once before with this force in me and I said then that this movement is not a political movement and that nationalism is not politics but a religion, a creed, a faith. I say it again today, but I put it in another way. I say no longer that nationalism is a creed, a religion, a faith; I say that it is the Sanatan Dharma which for us is nationalism. This Hindu nation was born with the Sanatan Dharma, with it it moves and with it it grows. When the Sanatan Dharma declines, then the nation declines, and if the Sanatan Dharma were capable of perishing, with the Sanatan Dharma it would perish.

Story of Sadhavi Pragya

When L.K.Advani talked about the brutality and torture of Sadhavi couple of days back referring to the affidavit filed by her lawyer, I searched in vain for the full text of the affidavit which made him to "finally" realize the ordeal she has been going through, although many of us have sensed it long back. Finally I found the full text of Affidavit filed by Sadhavi Pragya's lawyer in court .. here it is:-

http://www.dailypioneer.com/135277/%E2%80%98I-was-beaten-day-and-night-my-chastity-was-questioned-I-wanted-to-commit-suicide%E2%80%99.html

Now, if a nun in Orissa says that she was raped, she was not put under narco-test to ascertain the authenticity of her statement, rather her word was taken as a commandment and hunt began look for the culprits.

Now, if India is a secular state, similarly shouldn't the role of Maharashtra ATS be probed and investigated on serious charges made by Sadhavi?

Some excerpts from the affidavit:-
.......
6. I say that in Surat during the course of my interrogation with Mr Sawant, I mentioned to him that the LML Freedom two wheeler once owned by me was subsequently sold to one Sunil Joshi of Madhya Pradesh way back in October, 2004 and that Mr Joshi had paid me Rs 24,000/- for the same. I had also signed the necessary TT Form for RTO transfer in October, 2004 itself. I categorically asserted to Mr Sawant that since October, 2004 I had no control over the vehicle or its movements and usage.
.......
16. I say that as a result of the custodial violence/torture, mental stress, anxiety that were developed in the process, I was subjected to, I developed acute abdominal and kidney pains. I lost my appetite, became nauseous and giddy and prone to having bouts of unconsciousness. In view of this, within few hours after putting in Rajdoot Hospital, I was removed from the ATS office and was taken a hospital which learnt it to be Shusrusha Hospital wherein I was kept in ICU.
.......
27. In the circumstances I now pray for the following relief:
a) that the ATS be directed to submit an explanation for my detention without authority of law between 10.10.2008 and 23.10.2008;
b). that enquiry/investigation be conducted into my accusation made hereinabove on oath, regarding custodial torture/violence and mental and psychological abuse;
c). that such investigation as referred to in (b) above, include a polygraph test, as well as Narco analysis on me to determine the veracity of my accusations;
d). that such investigation to include a polygraph test and narco analysis on officers of the ATS named by me, and also of those officers whose names, I do not know, but I can identify, for they subjecting me to mental and physical abuse during custody as well as others to be identified by me;
e) that a report be called for from the ATS for the reasons of my admission in two hospitals ( Shusrusha an another) and the medical treatment undergone by me at the said two hospitals;
f) The ATS be directed to disclose the reasons for my stay at Hotel Rajdoot at Mumbai.;
g) For such further and other reliefs as may be fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.

A question is many times asked to me is that is Mahabharat real ? Did it happen really ? How ancient is Vedic literature ? Well, to get an answer view the video.

Abstract:-
Nice video reiterating the fact that ancient Indian epics and Vedic literature like Mahabharat really happened ... they are NOT mythology (collection of myths) as understood by some ignorants people.

Video also removes the myth of aryan invansion theory propounded by west to suit their self-esteem and superiority and accepted by many fellow ignorant Indians.

History of Malegaon blasts

Finally the secular media and Indian National Congress have something to cheer about. In the past, we saw how the media and the Congress failed miserably to find the face of Hindu Terrorism in the likes of Bajrang Dal. But now it seems that the Media has finally found the story which they have been waiting so anxiously. So, when the ATS (Anti-Terrorist Squad) of Congress run state of Maharashtra comes out with the so called breakthrough in Malegaon blasts, the Media didn’t waste any time to brand it as “Hindu Terrorists”.  The self proclaimed intellectuals and communists, who have been parroting and teaching us that terror has no religion, suddenly lost the sense of self professed intellectualism and stated that Hindu outfits are responsible for Malegaon and Modassa blasts.

What happened ? On 29th Sept. 08, low intensity blasts took place in cities of Malegaon in Maharashtra and Modassa in Gujarat in Muslim dominated areas killing 8 and injuring 80. For more, read on …

Who have made the arrests of alleged suspects ? Maharastra ATS (read the Congress + NCP Govt.)

Track record of NCP chief (Sharad Power) ? He has publically accepted that he faked the announcement of a bomb blast in muslim dominated area after the '93 bombay bomb blasts. So, the NCP can go to any extent to appease the muslims and what better time when the elections are round the corner and BJP is determined to put Congress on the defensive on the issue of fight against terrorism. And giving a track record of Congress's history of muslim appeasement is  a long story in itself. 

Malegaon blasts history ! In 2006 too a series of blasts took place targetting the so called minority community. And when the attacks occur on so called minority, the conscious of intellectuals rise and they write articles in which they become a judge themselves and articulates that the RSS, Bajrang Dal and VHP are behind these blasts. And when the investigations conclude, the result is that it was proven beyond doubt that it were a handiwork of the Lashkar and SIMI. I wonder if these intellectuals like Praful Bidwai, Javed Akhtar Sahab, etc. have any sense of dignity and shame left in their consciousness !

After having failed to nail down the Hindu outfits in 2006, who is being targetted now ? 

Sadhavi Pragya ... she is a symbol of Hindu youth ! So far she has been subjugated to the worst of investigations which are being done on dreaded criminals and terrorists. Her crime is that she has been a devout and staunch Hindu. 

Today, she is the draupadi of modern day bharat who is being insulted by the army of kauravas (Sonia Congress, Pawar NCP, Karat CPIM and christened Media) with dhritarashtra (Advani BJP) blinded in hope of getting on to power and  pandavs (Thakarey ShivSena and Uma Bharati Jana Shakti), perhaps the only source of help. 

Question before the Hindu youth today is which role does he/she wants to play ?
