An Excerpt from
Vajpee’s 2002 letter [ to modhi that enough was not being done to handle After Godhra]
“Its tenor makes it clear that Vajpayeewas concerned if
enough was being done for relief and if a sense of assurance and security was
being really conveyed to those who had fled and taken shelter in makeshift
camps. ….. Vajpayee's advice to Modi that as CM, he must adhere to “Raj dharma" and not discriminate
on the basis of caste, creed or religion.” [ Source
]
Dear Mr. Vajpayee,
Vajpayee ji you should be very happy that Word to word of
your advice wrt Raja dharma is being followed by Narendra Modi.
Just like the Yester year kings, just on the lines of Chanakya who
wanted to build kingdoms whose foundation wasManushastrawhich was
detrimental to 85% of lower caste Indians and women. Yes sir Modiji has already
built a huge fort in Gujarat whose foundations are Vedic Hindu sentiments.
His governance is reminding us the rule of Kings-Priests which ensured a
section of people had all the benefits. Narendra Modi is the king and RSS are
these neo priests who give advice. Just
like the Priests gave advice to kings “keep away shudras from temples and deny
them education” Modi also has made sure for e.g. all dalit and Muslim cops are
given ordinary postings and positions. Such mentioning of favoritism list goes
endless.
Also sir, All along the history if you see priestly class
has encouraged people to commit blunders because they own the powerful Vedic mantras
whose recitation counter and clear people of all the blunders in one go.
Unless they commit the blunders when is the God to be remembered?
How do the Hindu values get circulated? For each blunder…there is a God
designed and assigned the task to free the sinners.
This is the same tactic applied by Modiji, whilst his
followers are reciting the mantras in the background, Modiji himself has taken
the leaf from Gandhiji who breathed his whole life “Ishwara alla tero naam,
sabko sanmati de bhagwan” and performing a sadbhavana fast. Vajpayeeji Post Godhra was a splendid way of handling Communal
harmony. It’s a common sense that any riot if there is a political will cannot
remain for more than a Day. But in Gujarat it went
for 5 days. RSS sorry the Neo priest craft ensured by imbibing broad Hindu
sentiments in the Minds of people whose side effect was that “Forget minorities
& innocent being massacred even “Upper caste Pregnant women was seen ransacking the shopping Malls”. Police stations had become shops storing the
looted items. Every 3 members out of 4 arrested post Godhra, their address were
traced to posh apartments of Gujrat. [Godhra - A Journey to Mayhem by
Nirendra Dev ]
Yes sir this Sadbhavana fast is to confess and free himself
from the sins that he committed post Godhra spefically. Also to revive the
broad Vedic Hindu sentiments instilled in the minds of Gujratis by RSS sorry
the Neo priestly class. What a marvelous depiction of communal harmony? History says Akbar was great King. But
those Hindus of his period only knew what they had to undergo. At least Akbar
was able to regain his sense and worked towards communal harmony. We have to
wait and watch Modis durbar filled with communal sadbhavana
takes us to …. It seems Redfort….?
[ Why Modi carrying a Sadbhavana fast ? Vajpayee was unhappy about godhra wrote a letter ]
An unfortunate Saga from Astronomy to Astrology - Can we revive astronomy in our minds?
By the time we reach end of this article we shall witness that it’s a heinous crime to associate Astrology with Early India [who had scientific approach]. We shall see how Astronomy became Astrology. One should be proud of 28 stars they identified ranging from ashwini to revathi, lunar cycle & heliocentric theory to mention few were all science.
A teenager called Srinivas Ramanujan from a not so famous city Kumbakonam in 1900s arrived at Eulers formula eix= cos(x) + isin(x) by playing with math equations, which Euler had discovered 200 years ago. Yes Ramanujan was not even aware of Euler at that point. Why did this happen to a Nation that had discovered Pythagoras theorem when the people of west were still barbarians and Archimedes was yet not born.Aryabhata and varahamihira are the last know contributors, for centuries there was zeroachievement in the field of Astronomy. We had to wait for 25 centruies for a man of class C V Raman. Still we have not produced a man of class called Einstien.
Priestly onslaught: reason for Astronomy becoming substandard astrology in India:
Astronomy developed under the shade of enlightened saints called Rishis. In the guise of vedic rituals to build altars geometry, trigonometry etc developed. But soon were controlled by a selfish class of people called priests who were busy counting money earned by performing rituals. Knowledge remained with priest class, ah! from where a Rishi is to be born to carry the legacy. Rishis were frustrated with this priestly act and their thought process went inward. unquestioned Priests forgot science, they froze it and announced themselves there is nothing to be discovered further they became
ambassadors for Rahu,kethu, they ensured that people feared eclipse- a celestial class act, churned out beautiful stories to support them, learned people say you will find such stories only in puranas not in vedic scriptures. Priests coupled with Kings created an unhealthy environment for the development of science. Science requires space for objective analysis and thought process. Ah how could you think further on solar eclipse, it’s a sin, you can’t question rahu because purana say so. Lack of freedom for objective thinking [basic need for science] received severe hindrance by subjective sectional interests resulting in false praising and blind following of vedic karmas and citations. Astronomy[Khagola-vignyana or Jyotishya ] treats SUN as a star. Even now the Astrology[Phala jyotishya] call SUN as a planet. People of West were better as Galileo was just tortured, in India they ensured Galileo’s remained unborn.
kalaya tasmai namaha
They classified directions as auspicious and inauspicious. can you believe these people called astrologers classified time. They differentiated time as good and bad. Sanskrit Shloka says "kalaya tasmai namaha" which has a great meaning "Salutations to that great entity called TIME" but selfish astrologers mask this to instill fear among people, to take advantage of weak minds. All just for money. Poets have written loads and loads of poems on "Time" with great reverence. It’s disgusting to talk about such people...
Hindu Scriptures:
It’s a Blasphemy to believe in Astrology after reading the
enlightened statements from some of Hindu scriptures.
Yogavasista lays down that
what is not consistent with reason should not be accepted even if Brahma were
to tell it. No human being is absolutely and perpetually blameless.[ Swami
Sharvananda taittiriyopanishattu, p 68, 1956]
Charaka samhita's scientific
voice says: "Any success obtained with lack of logic is just a
coincidence" [ G T narayana Rao, “Srinivas Ramanujan Lived here”, P 185]
There is a famous Shloka in Sanskrit that says “ sarvam
khalvidam brahmham”, now let me know
from where did these planetary objects come in between.
Upanishads have declared “jnana yajna” is the best… but
still no priest or Astrologer reveals this to us, either they are dumb fellows
Or they are masking the bright words of self confidence and reasoning from
common people with an Agenda. What is their agenda, it seems to control us. No two astrologers come to a consensus both in
prediction and also in providing scientific justification for Astrology. Each
one has his own hypothetical interpretations, as Yoga Vasista lays down, we
should not believe in Astrology. It’s Astronomy what we should believe.
"It is the coward and the fool who says, 'This is fate'" — so says the Sanskrit proverb. But it is the strong man who stands up and says, "I will make my fate." It is people who are getting old who talk of fate. Young men generally do not come to astrology. We may be under planetary influence,but it should not matter much to us. Buddha says, "Those that get a living by calculation of the stars by such art and other lying tricks are to be avoided"; and he ought to know, because he was the greatest Hindu ever born. Let stars come, what harm is there? If a star disturbs my life, it would not be worth a cent. You will find that astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind; therefore as soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician, take good food and rest. [Man the maker of his destiny - Vivekananda ]
I think the Greeks first took astrology to India and took from the
Hindus the science of astronomy and carried it back with them from
Europe [ Vivekananda ]
Astrologers predict both past and future. If even 25% of their statements about your past are true. You shall believe the future he predicts with 250% trust. If one notes down all these and checks after 20-25 years, he would be convinced that predictions were mere predictions.[ Mookajjiya kanasugaLu ]
Ramanujan is in critical condition fighting death, her mother helpless takes the horoscope to Phala jyotishi advises her “if the bad phase has to go away soon, ask Ramanujan to keep away from his wife”. Ramajujan defies it saying it’s foolish. [ Tell me who would take care of him who is in such bad condition ].
In his novel “English Teacher” [ Unofficial Autobiography, My Days his official Autobiography] discusses that he persisted to marry his Girl despite the horoscopes did not match.
Echoes Vivekananda and says its “ it’s a sordid game of people who wanted to earn their lively hood in a easy manner, donot believe them”. He opines that when Astrologers made it a profession, astronomy declined. [ he says “hotte horeyuva vidye” ].
A Saivite Saint Thiru Gjnaana Sambandar sings in Thevaaram:-
"Naazh En Seyum--Kozh en seyum"=What stars,planets, good or bad days can do on me ?
"Kumaresan Thaalum,Tholum,Sadhngaiyum en Munnay Thondridinay"=if Lord Muruga's feet, shoulders and His ankle jewels come before my eyes ?
He defied Astrology and its advices yet succeeded.
Another Saivite saint Thiru.Appar.says "when Lord Siva's image is before me,the Lords of Sun,Moon,Mars,Mercury,Jupitor,Venus and Saturn (Astrology) would stand before me and can do me all benevolence only.
Gautham -- Most consult an astrologer if pressed, so struggle is futile.
Balasundaram -- Tests of astrology are indecisive, it needs demystifying. Tiwari -- Vedic = beyond sensory experience. How can Vedic be science?
Gupta -- Astrology may be a science-like knowledge but more difficult.
Mandal -- We either accept astrology and reject evolution, or the reverse.
Ganeshaiah -- Issue is nonsense vs good information, not arts vs sciences.
Abhyankar -- Astrologers offer only therapy by talking. Why be fooled? Narlikar (review of Astrology: Believe it or not?) -- Not! Recommended! Sitaraman -- Science not threatened by Vedic astrology or any other.
Heart within, and God o’erhead [ H W Longfellow , "A psalm of Life]
Great numbers of Galaxies are being found. We are able to witness farther and farther Celestial dance. It would be very novice to believe that only solar system will have an effect on human beings. Modern authors of India and visionaries like Vivekananda have discarded astrology by terming it as a sordid game of priests who enforced it on people so that they can earn their livelihood.
"Past is misery, Future is mystery, present is pleasant" this is the trick used by astrologers.They succeed when we miss the present pleasant trick
Also sir, All along the history if you see priestly class
has encouraged people to commit blunders because they own the powerful Vedic mantras
whose recitation counter and clear people of all the blunders in one go.
