Let's help Governments around the world to adopt these best practices to benefit masses as well as classes

Let's help Governments around the world to adopt these best practices to benefit masses as well as classes: A GENUINE DRIVE

1. Coca Cola and Pepsi has reached the masses in the deep rooted Indian villages, Indian Government may adopt this practice to let their ALL policies and benefits reach to the core. It could be adopted by other countries as well, so that Economies reach the bottom of the Pyramid, which should be benefited.

2. Walmart reaches at the roots of the suppliers and reduces the prices, hope while Government Grocery shops are planned, it will help government around the world.

3.In Denmark you can start any business in 8 minutes and government help for its sustenance.

4. 


coming more.

If you know let me know, I'll put here, LET's HELP our fellow human beings or you may start your own drive, who cares who get the credit.....work must be done, that's work is worship.

I HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THESE QUESTIONS and I was speechless many a times


I HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THESE QUESTIONS and I was speechless many a times.

Student keep touching such points:

Why the reel life hero paid USD 120 million or One Billion Rupees, and not the General of Army fighting on the battle field?

Why not the President/ Prime Minister of India paid salary of One Billion when they works hard to benefit one billion population?

Why are we helpless when so many scams are out? Why not army used to get into this and get rid of scammers? Is it not for the sake of money?

Why Godfathers (So called positive Dons) are Devils when it comes to dealing with some people?

If, at the end of the day we have to earn money then why schools are there? Why not parents and you teachers teach us, how to earn it in tons?

Sir, you keep talking about ethics, but, we heard, all the people who earn more than 10 million in India can never earn so if they are ethical or truthful?

Why Sadhus, Saints, Mullas, Fathers go on that land where the wars are going on e.g. Afghanistan today, and bring out Peace there? Why they work in so called holy places only? If religion was so importance then, why there were more wars on religious issues only?

Why cannot 99% people who are common men come together and chance the fate of the world? Why only few lead this world?

Why we can't see God in one day's prayer? Why penance is required?

The kinds of things going around the world, it seems, the world is not controlled by anybody? If citizens are controlled by Government then who control these governments?

Why Gundas have become stronger than the systems around the world?

Sir, tell me one person who is ethical and is billionaire. Why is it so? Then why are we were taught about ethics and values at our early age? The person in our class who was hardly 10th grade pass has become billionaire by now, and when we're going to get PG today. Now, I'm going to send by CV to his organization for job.  What's the value of our education then? "Purushah Arthasya Dasah (Sanskrit) meaning Man is servant of Arth, etc." seems to be true, Sir.

You always say you don't like glamor but knowledge when it comes to presentation of case study, however, in the outside world glamor is only paid, how we are presenting is only counted, and next comes the content. Just see the Indian Idol and other programs on the TV.....

Sir, when I see everything is managed, and everyone trying to be part of it, then why not, I start getting 10% of the business and become manager of that firm and become millionaire instead of resisting for the corruption, when I know if I resist the business will be down and I may lose my job.

Sir, Mr. Rajeev Gandhi said, "85% of the money that is meant for the masses/people do not go to them, only 15% goes". Now, Mr. P. Chidambaram says, "To deliver one rupee to the masses, government has to spend three rupees is it viable?"

Why honest person like you can't be a trillionaire?

Why people try to take away credit from you that have done by you and initiated by you? Sir please answer.

Ahimsa or Ultimate Non Violence as told by Saint Dnyaneshwar

Ahimsa or Ultimate Non Violence as told by Saint Dnyaneshwar/ Gyaneshwar

Just read and you might feel it's impossible to practice in daily life. Still its, worth knowing. If Lord Buddha, Lord Mahavir, and Mahatma Gandhiji, have heard this they would have said this boy of 21 years (Saint Dnyaneshwar/ Gyaneshwar) has put my/ our thoughts in the apt words:

1. While common man breaths, inhales and exhales, lot of viruses and creatures die due to heat, however, when Saints / Avatars breath, it may not happen. Some one asked, shan't we breath then? We laughed.

2. Even thinking bad about someone else, is violence. Hence, many realized souls always warn about that and advise everyone for thinking good, positive, etc.

3. Cutting trees is also violence. Then, people ask what will we eat?
The seniors (Swami Madhavnath) said, "In early days, before, the tree or wheat fields or rice fields were cut for the produce, the agrarian/ farmer used to pray, to them (trees and vegetables) and requested the rice and wheat to be food of needy/ hungry, then they used to cut the plants/ trees. In fact, many heard soothing sound from these trees, even while they are being cut.
In fact, the farmer used to Chant Hymns, Mantras, Shlokas, and had Hom-Havan before planting, during the plants grew, and just before cutting. Some even meditated, sang Bhajans like Saint Savata Mali, of Maharashtra. Thus, whatever being grown ('trees or vegetables'), 'they' knew they will all be offered to god or they will become human food. Thus, there used to be huge produce/ big harvest, still, those convinced, vegetables and trees were ready for sacrifice, and didn't used to make any noise or put resistance before the farmer, nor there was any forceful negative act from farmer over the vegetables and trees". Let's not talk about the animals, it's always against their will....hence, do it can never be Ahimsa.A lot has been said in the Bhagawadgita - As it is on this topic hence, we'll not write here.

4. In fact, speaking is also violence, leave aside, using bad language. Then how to communicate?
The people, so called near and dear ones, should develop so much understanding that there must be minimum to be communicated by speaking alone. Once, I told it to some one, he said 99% violence will stop if it happens. He also added do you mean they communicated by telepathy? I said, no need, just develop understanding among fellow beings and see the results.Thus, speaking loud and whatever is there on TV or movies or ....can be made absurd....with this sentence. Come on go into depth and understand....it sensibly.

5. Ruffles in the mind is an act of violence.
Come on, in this world with audio-visual impact gadgets and high profile jobs and hyper-dynamic lives of millions, is it possible? The solution told by seniors are like this. Everyday, to start with, out of 24 hours put aside 3 hours for this activity, in which you do nothing. Just, understand how it is difficult to not to do any activity. No thinking, No speaking....

6. Just see the translation of Dnyaneshwari: Beautiful:
Body, Mind, Soul, all are have to be tuned for Ahimsa.
A man must be like a Moon offering a bit of light from Sun that does not harm anyone.
Even if some one talks, he talks so sweetly that the ears of others, be-gate the tongues in their ears, which try to eat those sweet words spoken.Also, those, spoken words are Truthful words, which harms no one, the words are like spoken by mother for a little child.

Amazing comparisons.

Dnyaneshwari is a MARVEL, the best Book one can read in his life time.

coming more, have lecture/ students contact session.

What is the real meaning of SATYAGRAHA

What is the real meaning of SATYAGRAHA

A student asked this question, "Sir, What is the real meaning of Satyagraha?". 

In fact, the question was like this, "Sir What is the real meaning of Satryagraha, Bhakti, and Upawas?"

The answer was, "All are having the same meaning and gist of it is, living for moment to moment with the almighty God."

While grammatical meanings:

Satya = Truth = Ultimate Reality = God. (This meaning is true in all the Indian languages like Sanskrit, Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Kannada, Bengali, etc. ) and Agrah = With compulsive love in Marathi.  Ex. Child is feed more by a its mother by saying the crow will take away your chocolate please eat it....like that the devotee lives with God, both feel their presence at all the moments. Some devotees claim they can see the god everywhere, after some years of practice, as the soul gets so engrossed and devoted to God that his mind is full of God and he really sees the god eery where. Aum. Amen. In fact, that should be the real truth and the true reality of life. It's matter of experience, some may tell some may not, but, this truth can't be altered as it is the only aim of human life. 

Satyagraha = I' ll live only with God, at all the times. In fact, it's a state of mind, a state of devotion (Bhakti),  more than anything else.

In fact, even Bhakti means, that thing/entity which cannot be separated from God, or an entity which is got so unison/ one with God that it cannot be separated, i.e. A state when Bhakt (Devotee) and God becomes one with each other. Thus, God only has that power to hold his devotee with him, being almighty. 

Ex. Mahatma Gandhiji was successful, as throughout the day, he, used to have UPAWAS and was chanting name of God. Name of God is God himself. Everyone know he used to chant, Bhajans (Devotional songs) like Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram...., Vaishnav Jan to Tene Kahiyege..., etc. 

UPAWAS also means same, living with God, seating with God,....whether you are in cave like Rishi and Munis and fully engrossed in meditation, or working and devoting your work to God, or in Military, or in Business, or Student or House wife or Husband or this or that...., thus who you are has nothing to do with what you are doing if what ever you do is getting offered to SATYA, the God, the ultimate reality; and if you are following all his commandments, ethics, and live in prescribed format.

Rest, I'm ignorant, but, your generation is smart enough to understand everything better due to huge amount of awareness that you are getting every moment.

Aum. Amen.

Why we live and what is the purpose of living? (Poem)

Why we live and what is the purpose of living? (Poem)

Once in a village, all people gathered together,
All were called by a revered Saint,
Saint was respected by one and all.

The Saint, put one simple question to all,
"Why we live and what is the purpose of living?"

A Dacoit came forward before he being caught by police and said,
"I live to take revenge, and to mass wealth and power,
I also try to instill fear among citizens, so that I may feel, powerful."
 The Saint, tried to console the Dacoit and  said,
"My son, you're on wrong path, hate burns the soul, avoid this path and try living a normal life.
God will not like the way you're living. I know, you are a very good, agrarian, try to live that life, instead of a life of Dacoit."

The Dacoit, while crying said, "I'll try, I'll try", and left.

A Doctor came forward as he had to attend the patient and said,
"I live to save lives of more and more patients,
I also try to try make myself trustworthy and it helps me my life running well."

A Sadhu, just while seating said,
"I live for god, and try to remember him throughout the day and even at night,
my aim is spiritual enlightenment, and if someone comes to guide him on righteous path that leads to God."

A Student came and said,
"I want to learn more and more, and become one among a, the most knowledgeable persons in my life,
I also try to help my parents, so that, I can live a life dedicated to them."

A Housewife came and said,
"My aim is to keep my house clean and in peace and provide food and better living to all at my home,
I also try to nurture good qualities in my children."

An Officer from Government department, happened to be there, he said,
"My job is to provide proper services to all the citizens and till I live, I'll try my level best to provide it to one and all,
I also try to live a good and honest live."

A grocery shop owner came forward and said,
"I treat my customers as God, and provide them quality material,
I also try, not to mix profit oriented mind with the service to all,
I try earning less profit but try keeping customers intact.
After all, I'm food providers to many of you, it keeps my moral always high."

A film shooting was going on near the village, a film star came and said,
"My job is to make these people laugh, and entertain them in this hell kind of life,
I also try to be more famous and raise the bar of my film earning more,
If I get time, I go to temple, gurudwara, church and religious places, that's all I have faith in god."

Suddenly a grandfather came forward and said,
"Children, I have done all good services in my life,
Now, I'm trying to guide my children and grandchildren on path that leads to God,
That's the only reality in life."

The Saint, then concluded by saying,
"Yes, my brother, grandfather over here is right,
All the work that can be offered to God can't be wrong,
Hence, work is worship, is what we must try at every moment,
If you can't remember God every moment, then chant his name, remember him every now and then,
Devote every day to god by living a righteous life, and of course, service to man is service God.
In fact, just add, God's flavor in it, your life will be what you've dreamt and it will be better everyday, now onwards."

Aum. Amen.

God’s supreme advice in my agonies and joy (Poem)


God’s supreme advice in my agonies and joy
Whenever my heart burns, while, I see the workers working hard,
but getting negligible in return,
I feel, I should help them, and reduce their burden;
at that time, I talk to God and then God replies, 
“Do you think, I’m not in them and not taking care of them?”
Whenever my heart feels agony, when, I see, the eroding moral values, that are degrading the society,
I feel, I should step in, and help saints, reduce their responsibility;
at that time,
I talk to God and then god replies, “Do you think, I’m not taking care of this issue?”
Whenever my heart feels joy when I see the children playing and enjoying and getting full bliss of life,
I feel I should join them and feel the same;
at that time,
I talk to God and then God replies, “You yourself are supreme soul, and do you think you are not in any of these entities?”
Aum. Amen.

(I believe everyone reading this poem, will 100% agree that Veda are apourushey, because, these supreme words can't come from any other source than God/Almighty himself, Aum. Amen.).
