My Waderings - 93

Shrimad Bhagwatgita as I understood it 

to rediscover my Father Late  Dr.Sham Lal Kaul who was an  ardent lover of it.

Part -3 

              Shrikrishna taught earlier about the vision of the true nature of the soul . This can be achieved by doing karma yoga, after having the true knowledge about soul . This realization of true knowledge of the soul is necessary to adopt Bhakti yoga , which is the means for attaining the supreme goal, Narayana , who is the sole cause of the universe , who is omniscient , who is eternal  controller of everything and who has everything for his body .

 

             Then Shrikrishna tells Arjuna about himself and also about his distinctive form and how he is different from all living and nonliving things. The matter or Prakriti is divided into eight principles as Earth, Water, Fire , Air, ether (Akasha ), Mind , Intellect and Ego . You must know that all these eight principles and also other things like Tan matras which constitute sense of  taste , smell, sight, sound and   touch etc. , Gyan indeiyas and karma indriyas belong to me only. 

                The nonliving(Achetana) prakrati is actually inferior to the living one like (Chetana )or soul , but both belong to me . It is the soul that sustains and supports the body . The nonliving things are objects of enjoyment and living things enjoy them.

                All beings , starting from Bramha downwards to grass are born out of the combination of chetana and achetana . The chetna I.e soul takes the body of deva, man , animal etc. In accordance with their past karma . Both chetans and achetans belong to me and thus everything is mine.

There is nothing greater or higher than me . I am the highest,  being the cause of both chetans and achetans . They all merge in me in a very subtle form during  Maha pralaya  and evolve out of me after the  Mahapralaya. So I am the cause of everything. I am the Supreme person , possessing knowledge ,Power, strength and such other qualities . So, there is no one, who is superior to Me. Since everything forms my body , and I am the inner soul of all beings, I alone exist. 

             I am the special taste in water. I am the brightness in the moon and sun. I am the pranava , the OM in all the vedas. I am the sound in ether or Akasa. I am the potent force in men . I am pleasant smell in the earth and the heat in the fire. All the things that exist in this world is dependent on me but I am not dependent on them.

                       Some people worship me  for obtaing wealth and luxuries I.eAaishwarya .  some others worship me  to realise  the pure and real nature of soul. This state is called Kaivalya . A few wise men who know me and my greatness desire to attain Me only , as the highest object of attainment . 

The wise man who wants me only is the highest form of devotee because other two categories of people consider me means to achieve their goals  and they remain attached to me only till attainment of their desires.    I am extremely dear to such a man, who wants me only,  and he is also extremely dear to me. 

                      I take my human form during avatars out of my own free will and kindness,  so that people may take refuge in me . But the foolish people get deluded by my outer form . They think that I am also just like any one of them. Hence such people don't know I am the Supreme person. 

         The three types of people as already explained who want 1. Luxuries ie Ashwarya 

2. Realization of soul I.e Kaivalya

 3. Who desire to attain me , the  Lord only .

People who want Aishwarya should know Adhibhuta and Adhideva . 

The people who want vision of pure soul separated from Prakrati I.e Kaivalya should know three things 1. Brahman 2. Adhiyatma 3.karma .

All the categories of people mentioned above should know Adhiyajna and also remember me, the Lord at the time of death. 

        Then Arjuna asks Shrikrishna to explain him regarding the terms Brahman, Adhyatma , Karma , Adhibuta , Adhidaiva and Adhiyajna . 

Then Krishna replies that Brahman is the soul in its state of purity, free from Prakrati . As soul is eternal and indestructible , it is called a Brahman , as a matter of courtesy . The real Brahman is myself , the Supreme Lord .

One's own nature , dwelling with the soul is called Adhyatma. The five elements or panch bhutas like air,fire, water,earth and akasa in their subtle form remain with the soul even after death when  it goes to swarga and so on . These subtle elements leave the soul only when he attains Moksha. So this Adhyatma consists of subtle elements and subtle impressions Vasna ,which are carried from previous births. They remain attached to the soul. A person who seeks Kaivalya I.e vision of his pure soul , should know both this brahman i.e Soul and the Adhyatma. The Brahman has to be attained and the Adhyatma has to be given up. 

The discharge of the creative fluid by man from the Male organ in to the body of female beings is called Karma. So this Karma should be regarded by the seeker of Kaivalya as hate worthy , mean and should be avoided. The Adhibuta means panch bhutas or five elements along with subtle elements Tan mantras viz.sound, touch ,sight ,taste and smell attached to them . These are all changeable and perishable . So persons who seek wealth i.e Ashwarya should understand and attain them, which will give them superior but temporary pleasure. 

The Pursha is the individual Soul or Jivatma . He is called Adhidevta  because he becomes superior to all the Devas like Indra and Prajapati. He also enjoys and gets superior pleasures than indira and Prajapati because of worshiping me the Supreme  Lord. So the seeker after wealth, the Ashwarya should understand and mediate on Adhidevta. 

Adhiyajna means one, who  is the object of worship through yajnas. 

So I , the lord , am known as Adhiyajna . Indra and other Devas constitute my body and I am their inner soul. So I am the person who is actually worshiped by Yajnas. 

Summing up , 

1. The seeker of Aishwarya should know Adhibhuta , Adhidaivita and Adhiyajna.

2. The seeker of Kaivalya should know Brahman, Adhyatma , karma and Adhiyajna.

3. The seeker of Lord should know Adhiyajna .

 A person who at the time of death , thinks of Me alone and gives up the body and departs from this world, he attains my state i.e my Nature. 

          Then Shrikrishna tells Arjuna, the main secret of attaining the Supreme Lord through Bhakti yoga. Th Supreme Lord i.e Shrikrishna can be even directly perceived , when worshipped with extreme devotion. Bhakti means worshipping the lord with devotion. So, Bhakti itself,  being in the nature of always thinking about the lord, brings bliss and happiness.People who do not have faith and eagerness to practise this Bhakti , although they are fit to do so, do not attain me.It is the means for attaining me. By not doing this Bhakti yoga , such people do not attain me.

               Besides worshipping me they also take efforts in doing works connected with me , like construction of my temples, flower gardens and so on. With loving devotion they prostrate before me in the temples etc.They thus prostrate on the earth like stick with out caring for the dust, mud ,stones etc. on the ground. Thus knowing me as the inner soul of all chetans and achetans , the great people worship me. Those who worship me, attain me. I am without beginning and end . I am omniscient . I am an ocean of innumerable auspicious  qualities . My bliss and happiness are unbounded . After attaining me and such endless bliss , such people do not return to world. Om tat sat Bramha.

                Then Srikrishna says  further to Arjuna, " A person does various activities . He also knows the true nature of soul , as an agent of these activities, done by the will of lord.  So he has this knowledge while doing Karma . In other words he sees knowledge in karma .Similarly, a person who meditates on his soul , also does the prescribed actions . So he sees and does karma in knowledge I.e while meditating on the soul. So , a person who sees knowledge in karma and who sees karma in knowledge is really the wise person , who is also fit to attain Moksha. 

                     A person should not have any desire for fruits . He should have his mind and intellect firmly under control . He should give up the feeling of possession and ownership , in regard to the material objects which he possesses. Such a person does not incur any sin . He does not get involved in world, by doing work , necessary for maintaining the body and the like. He sees the soul by karma yoga of this kind , with out the aid of Gyana yoga. 

             He should not have hatred towards others. He should realise that whatever unpleasant thing has happened to him is due to his own past karmas and others are not responsible for the same.

        A person should  be clear in mind that soul is not the cause of his own actions . It is the body only , which is the cause of his actions. His mind should  also realise  that soul is not the doer and we do work only because of association with the body, as a result of past karmas . Thus realizing the soul is it's own master and is at peace. It neither does any actions nor does it get the actions done through the body .

              The people performing the yoga , give up attachment to swarga and such other temporary fruits.They do such work which can be done by the body, the mind , the intellect and the senses to attain the purification of soul I.e for destroying the bondage of past karmas. It is this past karmas which stand in realization of the true nature of soul. 

              Then ShriKrishna describes the true nature of the liberated soul , which is not bound by karmas I.e which is liberated from the bondage of samsara ; is such that it does not make efforts to do a thing. It does not do works . It does not also get attached to the fruits of its actions. 

People who have a steady desire , to realise the soul , who regularly practice for the realization of soul , who regard this realization as their highest goal in life, such people get their previous sins washed away by such a knowledge and finally attain the soul, from where there is no return. The soul is called Brahman here, out of respect and courtesy,  because, in it's pure liberated state , the soul attains all the auspicious qualities of Supreme  Lord.

           A person who understands the true nature of soul sees no difference in mud , stone and gold. He also does not see any difference in  Friends and enemies .In the developed stage of yoga , the person realizes his similarity with me I.e Lord  on account of his soul also being of uncontracted knowledge , when liberated like mine. He worships me firmly as existing in all beings .   A person by constantly fixing his mind on me , the supreme Brahman as the auspicious object of meditation with his mind well controlled and purified by thinking about me only, attains everlasting peace and bless as  is established in me . At this stage , a person knowing the similarity between all the souls , sees happiness or  sorrow as the same everywhere. He is as happy to see happiness of others as his own and  in the same way sorrow of others as his own . 

              A person who worships me , the supreme Brahman with intense love , will and devotion ,whose mind is directed towards me and is totally absorbed in me , who is unable to bear the pangs of separation from me , even for a moment,  because of my being very dear to him . He is considered by me worthiest among yogis  of all kinds.

My Wanderings - 91 Shrimad Bhagwat Gita as I understood it Part - 1

My Wanderings - 91

Shrimad Bhagwat Gita, as I understood it. Part- 1

In the battle of Mahabarta , SriKrishna had become charioteer of Arujuna out of love and affection  for him . Arjuna tells  Shrikrishna to bring the chariot in the middle of two armies so that he can have the glimpse of warriors  who want to fight against him . While  reaching there he found Drona , Bhishma and kaurvas ready with all their weapons to fight with him . He gets nervous  with compassion and tells Shrikrishna that he does not want to  fight with Bishma and Drona who are respectable for him . Moreover even if kaurvas are   wicked  but still they are his cousins.  He does not want to win and enjoy the luxuries of kingdom after smearing his hands with their blood. He tells krishna that it is better to  resort to begging rather than killing his teachers and relatives.

On listening to these words of Arjuna , Shrikrishna smiles and replies to Arjuna 

Oh Arjuna ! "why are you so grieved over those  things which don't deserve your grief"? " As you don't have the knowledge of difference between soul and body that is why you are grieving over such filmsy grounds".To tell you the fact SOUL and BODY are two different entities . Body is made from prakrati which is composed of panch Bhutas i.e Soil, water, air, fire and sky. The body is  also perishable.  The body has various parts like head ,arms legs etc. which can be cut into pieces and destroyed by any out side agency .while as Soul is atomic in nature . It does not have parts like body and hence can not be cut into pieces  . It is eternal and can not be effected  by out side agencies like fire air or water . Neither  fire can burn it nor Water can wet it or air can dry it .The soul is thus indestructible.  The eternal soul is endowed with body to enjoy the fruits of past karmas I.e to  undergo pains and pleasures as the result of past karmas . When the body which is perishable in nature  gets destroyed , the soul attains new body sometimes inferior and  sometimes superior as per the past karmas of person . 

              As our bodies change in shape  constantly from child hood to youth and  to old age thereafter , in the same way after perishing of one body soul takes another body,  which is called death by foolish persons. But wise persons don't grieve over it. As a person changes his clothes so soul changes different bodies and that should not be reason of regret for wise persons  .  It is inevitable to mention  here  that  all the souls of living beings belong to me  and have no difference but bodies where they dewel may be different like those of Devas , Human beings , animals birds insects and plants etc.  The bodies are attained by the soul as per  their past karmas. If the past karmas are good , a soul can attain superior bodies of Devas or human beings . Here in this battle i.e Dharmudha you are not going to kill your opponents but only separating their souls from their bodies . By doing this action you may even  be doing favour  to them as they have now chances of attaining superior bodies after leaving their old bodies .

                   Moreover, as per your caste I.e khatriya it is your duty to fight against your opponents with out thinking whether you win or lose this battle  . Both the ways you have a  win a win position  . If you lose this battle  you will get swarga or even better place  i.e Moksha from this birth and death cycle  and if you win this battle you  will enjoy all the luxuries of kingdom . Now out of compassion if you don't fight this war , the present and future generations will consider you coward, who ran away from the battle field . 

        The knowledge about body and soul is known as Gyana yoga in vedanta .Then Arjuna asks Krishna when  Gyan yoga is sufficient to realise salvation,   then why do you involve me in these criminal  actions where I have to kill my kiths and kins . Then Shrikrisha replies to Arjuna that  it is very difficult to realise Gyana  yoga  and needs lot of meditation , practice and  blessings of almighty I.e me. While practising this yoga we need to have complete control over our  senses I.e Gyan indriyas  which are five in number I.e smell by nose , sight by eyes , touch by hands or body, taste by tongue  and listening through ears  . Our object of realizing soul should not get diverted by these senses. 

                   A person who desires liberation from this bondage of samsara I.e a person who desires Moksha should practise  the Karma Yoga with determination after knowing the true nature of soul in detail. The  karma yoga is little easier than Gyana yoga and with out obstacles  , which leads  us  automatically   to Gyan yoga with constant practice in due course of time .Moreover, karma yoga is superior to Gyan yoga . Even if a person is fit for doing Gyana yoga . Karma yoga is better for him also.  A person should practise Karma yoga and thereby earn the Lords pleasure . Then his past sins are destroyed. He is able to bring his gunas under control.   He becomes pure in mind and senses . Then he becomes fit to Gyana yoga . 

              Further knowledge of true nature of soul is included in karma yoga itself  . The soul has to be meditated upon , as not the doer of actions but controlled by the lord. Actually gyan yoga and karma yoga are interrelated but a person practising gyan yoga only can not do away with karma yoga .   Soul and body together  constitute an  individual  who  by nature has to do some action to satisfy his basic needs which he performs by his Karam indriyas I.e arms, legs, mouth ,excretion and reproductive parts . He can not even sustain his body if he does not do any action .  I am the lord myself , I have achieved everything .There is nothing which remains unacheived  by me. But still I work to keep myself busy and for setting an example for other people to follow. According to shastaras there are three types of karmas which an individual has to do .They are Niti karma , Nimiti karmas and Kamya karmas.

        Niti karma constitute  early morning sandya vandana , Nimiti karma are jal Tarpan to pitras and devas especially during eclipse period.  Lastly the Kamya karma are done for earning money and luxuries in life and then swarga after death . The first two karmas are mandatory  but the third karma is optional,  but has to be done because with out that karma first two karmas that are mandatory remain incomplete because we need money  for performing yajnas and nourishing of our bodies with the remnants of those yajnas .

                 But we should not get attached to those karmas which provide us wealth and luxuries .We should attribute those karmas to the almighty as if we are doing all our karmas for the sake of lord.  That is a sort of Mukhti from karam bandhan as well as doing Nishkam karma . So all these Karmas should be performed by you , as a form of worshipping Me, the lord . You should do them for the pleasure of the Lord. You will then aatain salvation in due course. 

            Attainment of Swarga should not be ultimate aim of an individual because if a person attains  even Swarga  ,  he has to leave it  after some time and undergo  birth and death cycle again and again.His aim should be to attain Moksha from birth and death cycle  and his ultimate aim should be to attain paramatma the lord I.e me .  As per adaivta philosophy the soul dwelling  in every person belongs to lord and  has an contract form of the lord almighty embedded therein which a person has to realise  and get merged with  me, the almighty  . 

           Then Arjuna asks Shrikrishna if the ultimate aim of an individual is to get emerged with almighty that is you,through Bakhti yoga ,  then why there are various options given in vedas  how to achieve wealth , luxuries and Swarga  , which in my opinion are  lower forms of meditations . Srikrishan replies to Arjuna that vedas are sea of knowledge.  They cater to the needs of every person according to their temperaments.  There are actually three types of temperaments in an individual which are called Gunas . They are Satogun, Rajogun and Tamogun . The sattogun characteristic is free from impurity and promotes health and happiness , Rajogun produces desire for worldly pleasures and attachment to friends and relatives . The Tamogun causes delusion and makes the person dull and drowsy .  These Gunas are embedded in every individual in different proportions . Some have dominance of Satogan and others have dominance of Rajogun or Tamogun .but you  should remain free from the mixture of three Gunas and you should have sattvaguna predominantly present in you .   By this you will also be free from the pairs of opposites like pain and pleasure , victory and defeat and so on i.e you should not get affected by them. 

                    Before creation , all souls  and prakrati were merged in the lord , in a subtle form. Then they did not have names and forms . So in that dormant state , with out bodies the  souls  were not able to perform any work, to achieve the desirable fruits like Moksha . So out of compassion , the lord took up creation . He bestowed bodies to the souls , so that they can study vedas and perform works. 

So Arjuna , have a clear knowledge about the essential nature of the soul . Whatever actions you do , you surrender them to me . In other words you give up the thought that you are the doer , and realise that I , the supreme lord , am the cause of everything .

To be concluded .........

My Wanderings - 90. Superstitions

Superstitions have taken a toll of our society to such a large extent that a rationale person is labeled as an atheist.But a rationale person can  also be a staunch believer . Our society is embedded with the menance of superstitions since its inception. There will not be a single person without an iota of superstition in his psyche because the same has been imbibed in our mindset right from our birth.
A person with weak will, particularly  womenfolk of our society fall prey to the evil designs of so called godmen, Charleston's and fortune tellers. They flung their bait and we are succumbed to their gameplans. They give us gems, charms etc. to ward off evil on us and empty our pockets.
I have seen many celebrities going to these godmen or Astrologers to know their future as they are unsecured and do not want to fall down from the heights they have achieved. But ordinary people like us who do not have higher stakes also fall prey to them.
Though Astrology is a great subject which formed the base of moden  Astronomy, but what relation there can be possibly between human destiny and stars , which are thousands and thousands of miles away from us. Sometimes we wait for auspicious dates to perform some functions. I have seen a person waiting for auspicious day to join his new job. The job was declined to him as he joined late.
There are usually discussions on existence of ghosts, haunted houses etc.
Some even say that they have seen the ghost with their own eyes. It was a form of tall person draped in long white gown etc. But in my opinion it is all due to hallucinations that we see the ghostly figures in the same shape that we have visualised in our own mind. A man with strong will should never be haunted by such ghosts.
Some godmen perform miracles.They stop their pulse, produce holy ash from the palm of their hands or generate wrist watches, particularly for their affaulent desiples. But watches are usually Swiss made and not made in heaven. It was Dr.Kavoor Srilankan rationalist and writer of book entitled Be Gone Godmen, Who challenged them ...if they can perform such miracles in his presence. he will pay them Rs one Lack, which was a huge amount those days.No godman accepted his challenge as Dr Kavoor was aquainted with all these tricks himself.
It is really my dream to see rationality in my society someday.

My Wanderings - 89. Liberation from Knowledge

              'The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from us'  has been said by various learned men. The process of learning starts in a person right from his birth. He learns from his mother , father and siblings . Then he learns from his teacher at School ,    at college and  at various other stages .   He also learns by reading a book , by listening to discourses of  saints , seers and philosophers . This learning process never stops till his death. He also learns from his own  experiences whether good or bad . These experiences sometime form his convictions . If he has  good  experience  of  Love or friendship . His convictions about love or friendship are adorable but when he has bad experience of the same, his views are  formed otherwise or contradictory. 

              The paradox of learning is also concealed in  the first line of this write up that nobody can take away  it  from us . We live throughout our lives with our  biased convictions , ideals and experiences which may not be relevant now . We try to impose same upon our children and juniors which we think are time tested and foolproof. While doing so we forget that times have changed , the values have changed,  outlook of people has changed , priorities have changed . We ignore the fact that our outdated convictions and ideals may not have relevance in the modern times now.

                      We may live in fools paradise throughout our lives ignoring the very less impact of our thought process on our younger generation or live up-to-date with the present priorities and values. We may have to  unlearn  some ideas for the sake of new ones or choose to stop advising new generation with the obsolete ideas which may not be relevant now to them.
Most of us  have grown up in dearth and scarcity which has made us shortsighted and pessimistic  . But with the surge in economy our children have grown up in gaiety and abundance which has changed their outlook towards life. We can not guide them with our myopic  and pessimistic outlook. Let us watch their growth  like a silent spectator with their own optimistic outlook . In order to be relevant in this modern world we have to unlearn or  erase some memories on the hard disc of our memory lane and adopt new ones.
We have to approach a problem with Virgin mind i.e we have  to unlearn the knowledge or  face it with full  knowledge for which human mind has not capacity . Therefore , liberation from knowledge can be better way of approach .

                     Swami vivekananda a great monk of  India  has  once said that we should not believe a thing which we have read from a book . We should not believe a thing  if some body has said it so . We should find out the truth ourselves  and that is realisation.

                           J. Krishnamurti  , a known philosopher from India has said in his book' Freedom from known'  that you should be free from whatever has been known to you in this world through the assistance of religion, society ,ideologies and be constantly aware of yourself , of your own thoughts and actions , observing things as they appear to you , not seeing them from a prejudiced mind .

                       According  Kashmiri Shaivism also while realising self or achieving ultimate , a devotee faces various limitation or Kanchukas   which he has to overcome . One of the Kanchuka is' Vidya ' or the covering of limited knowledge . Shiva himself is all knowing , but we human beings have not the capacity to  know everything at the same time . We can perceive reality only in bits and parts according to what we are fed by our senses .

My Wanderings 88 Is Bollywood Sinking

                    2022 has been a huge disappointment for Bollywood as big budget films have failed to make a mark at the box office. Lal Singh Chaddha is currently struggling at the box office. Shamshera starring Ranbir Kapoor failed to impress the audience. On the other hand , Ranveer Singh's Jayeshbhai Jordaar , Akshay Kumar's
Prithvi Raj Chowhan and Ajay Devgan's Runway 34 also bombed at the box office. Other Bollywood films that flopped in 2022 are Attack part 1, Jersey , Heropanti 2, Dhakkad , Anek , Rashtra Kavach om, Raksha Bhandan and Dobaaraa.
        
We are all familiar  with the glorious past of Bollywood rather Indian cinema since times immemorial. How can we forget the cinemas like Muggle Azam, Mother India , Do biga Zameen ,Waqat and several others  which have left an indelible mark over the golden era of Indian cinema. Indian film songs and music have popularised various classical ragas of Indian music . Many film songs like ' Abhi na javo choddkar ki dil abi bara nahi , Lag ja gale ki phir yeh mulakat ho na ho or pyar hua Iqraar hua ... are few among millions which are still liked for their lyrics and melody . Indian cinema has given various poets like Sahir Ludhianvi, Shailendra , kaifi azami and many others who contributed much towards it.  The Singers like K.L.Sehgal , Mohd. Rafi, Mukesh , Mana dey , Kishore Kumar , Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle have become legends in their field . We have lived our childhood and youth under  the influence of Indian cinema and its songs as it was the only source of entertainment available those days.

           In late seventies there was introduction of art films in Indian cinema . Several art films like 'Ankur' ' Manthan ' ' 27 Down ' and many others were made which catered only  to the  needs of a  class of viewership but still became popular because of their intellectual output .

             After nineties Bollywood came under the direct  influence of underworld  Don's like Dawood Ibrahim and  intelligence agencies of Pakistan. They started their modus operandi by directly threatening Producers , directors and actors in  of the film world by making direct telephone calls and extracting money from them . Most of the film people could not stand their threats and started giving them money . Then  they started financing the films on their  own terms and conditions .  They gave patornage to Muslim actors like Khan group of Bollywood .  The Khan actors became their blue eyed boys . They even threatened producers to give them  roles in big banner films which flourished their career from the last few decades. They also started demeaning the Indian  culture and Hinduism in films. Under their master plan they created  Hindu characters as cunning moneylenders , greedy  temple priests etc.  While as Muslim characters were   always shown as very  helpful, God fearing, honest and full of character .  Even a Muslim  underworld Don or a criminal  was  always shown as a person of character. Most of actors who did not succumb under their  pressure  were shown the door of film world  . They were  instigated and deprived of film roles , which finally stalled their career. Sony Deol ,Govinda, Sunil Shetty and Vivek obroi are few among the various examples. Then  blue eyed boys of these gangsters started their own gangs in the Bollywood . They formed groups of producers who neglected talent  and introduced nepotism and cast couching  in  Bollywood. They started blacklisting and blackmailing actors who did not come under their pressure. The roles in films were provided only to their favourites. They became the King makers of Bollywood . The actors who were at their beck and call were given roles in good films and talented actors like Sushant singh Rajput was forced to opt  for suicide.

               Some big actors of the film world who have earned lot of money and fame and have nothing to  loose , but only to gain some contribution  towards philonothropy,  remained in league with these bullies and compromised  with  the  injustice in the system , for their petty gains .

                Most of the actors who achieved  the present status by the support of people , started taking the same  people for granted . They started making immature and loose statements  in public . Amir Khan once said that he and his wife is feeling scared in India. Deepika padkone joined tukde tukde gang at J N U for monitory considerations . Karina Kapoor said arrogantly that  we do  not force the  people to watch our films , they should stop watching the same. Tapsee Punoo while making fun of viewers said that they must also bycott my films. It was really blunder on their part to challenge the people who supported them through out their careers and enabled them to achieve the heights.
Now they are  exposed and facing the resentment of people , who have really  brought them to knees .

My Wanderings. 87. Religious Bigotry and Well Planned violence

                    Recently there was a big row over some remarks made by then spokes person of BJP Nupur Sharma on Times Now evening  show . Its ramifications spread like wildfire through out India and  all over the Islamic countries of world. Nupur while replying to the provocative statement of one of the Muslim contestants  , who was hurling abuse over the gods of Hindus , made a statement which was based on facts and written in Islamic books and already said many  times by Islamic clergy including zakir Naik. The statement was that Prophet   Mohammad married a six year old girl and consummated this marriage when she was nine year old. This statement is true and written in the Hadis , a religious book which is highly revered by believers of Islam .

              Most of the Islamic countries like Turkey, UAE, Maldives , Kuwait , Iran , Iraq , Pakistan and even Qatar  expressed their resentment over such statement by Nupur . They summoned Indian envoys in their countries and advised them accordingly . They are in the process to  ban Indian goods in their respective countries. However , Indian Govt. dealt with this situation  in a most diplomatic manner . Some counties were also shown the mirror and told to take care of minority in their own country which is diminishing at a fast speed before advising India. Now India should take lesson from this row by decreasing their dependency on Islamic countries , which the former  has already started.

                  Most unfortunate  part of this row was that the Muslims living in this country made planned agitation in many states . They destroyed public property . They hurled stones , petrol bombs  etc ,which were already brought in vehicles, to public and police.
All the  Muslims of this country are not guilty but their  leaders who managed this agitation should be brought to book and stern action should be taken against them and the guilty .The role of Popular Front of India and All India Muslim conference was most obvious in these agitations . Both these organisations should be banned and their kingpins apprehended . Moreover , Muslims and their leaders should not take India and Hindus for granted and desecrate their Gods. One time they will have to pay heavy price for that .

         Nupur Sharma  could have been prosecuted  under IPC,  had she been proved wrong in her statement by any scholar of Islam. It was mistake  on the part of ruling party  to suspend her from the party position and severe all connections with her for no fault on her part.  It was a decision in haste which prompted many Muslims to make statements that she should be given capital punishment or her head  should be chopped off. These statements sound strange and smack of Islamic  bigotry . Are we living in medieval age or in Islamic country which is governed by shariat laws . These fringe elements in Muslim society should be brought to book and accountability to be fixed upon them for making such statements. It will not be out of place  here to mention that if Muslims in India enjoy  the civil code as per shariat , where they can have benefit of four wives, teen talak and halala , but they are silent about their criminal offences being governed by uniform criminal code. Is this not the hypocrisy on their part to enjoy the benefits of both systems . Therefore , it  becomes mandatory for Govt. of India to enforce Common Civil Code for all communities living in India irrespective of their religion.

             India should learn lesson from Islamic country like Kuwait , who despite having differences with India on present row , is in the process of deporting all the Asian Muslims working there to their native countries , found indulging​ in making agitations on Nupur Sharma's statement, because agitations of any type are prohibited there.

                             There are hundreds of recorded statements made by responsible Muslims including their clergy , actors and politicians  who hurl abuses and make fun of Hindu Devi and Devtas . By doing this they hurt the sentiments of Hindus, who  are in  majority in India, but  always escape Scot free with out any punishment . Such elements should be apprehended and punished under Indian Penal code irrespective of their religion

                 Akbar din owaisi, the politician, Amir  khan, the actor and MF Hussain,the artist  are the glaring examples of committing such crimes .All these abuses on Hindu God's are being tolerated by the Hindus , who are in majority in India, in the name of freedom of speech. Whenever a true statement written in the religious books of Islam is disclosed by some Hindu , it is given the name of blasphemy. Nowadays   The law of blasphemy in Islamic countries has become a tool to harass minority communities . Whenever they want to harm any Hindu or Christian in Pakistan they accuse  them for blasphemy. No action is taken against people who desicrate Hindu temples in Pakistan , because it does not come under the law of Blasphemy​ there.
