201214- Do not Judge: Judging others is one of our human weaknesses. We sometimes do this even withou sufficient evidence. We are often inclined to condemn people without realizing that those whom we condemn are, in fact, masterpieces of god`s creation! Instead of judging or criticizing others, let us learn to make an effort to discover the beauty hidden in others. There is no doubt whatever that every human person is blessed with goodness and beauty of one type or another. Reading religious scriptures will awaken us to this reality! In his Sermon on Mount Jesus Christ said, "do not judge, and you will bot be judged. For as you judge so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother`s ey, bu do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? This is what Percival Fernandez wrote in DNA of December 20, 2014.

they do things. The farmer goes to the city. The wife goes to work. You want to give thanks for life so you burn a basket of food, or you light a candle, or give food to the starving, there all personal choices. 

You think File its all personal choice, religious or political. All culture changes over time because people change the way because you don't go to church, you have established a utopia of personal freedom. You go to work, people pay you, you buy food and feed your children and so does 80% of the population around you. Why not work a farm and feed your children or hunt and gather? You belong to this culture where people have faith is payment as a means of exchange. If you give up this faith, you will suffer social exclusion. Its personal choice, the same choice made by many people. It works pretty well, just as religion did in days gone by. But this capitalist life also has its dissenters and victims. 

Both good and harm can be done when people come together to change the world. You think you stand outside religion but you do not stand outside of a belief system. Look at what you wear and look at what your friends wear, it a type of uniform, you live in a culture, you conform. If your ideas lasted a thousand years, others would be condemning you and your culture. 

You want to point the finger of blame at religion as if it’s a set of rules that you now reject and call into question. You are not outside it; you are just expressing its core assumptions, trying to restore it to its radical self. If your ideas get any traction, you will just continue the evolution. 

You are the blind leading the blind.

Event before India's partition in 1947
Kuldip Nayar had checked Mountbatten`s premonition with his Press Attache in India during those days, Alan Campbell-Johnson, Cyril Radcliffe, who headed the Boundary Commission to partition the two Punjabs, and the two Bengals, and H.K.Khurshid, Jinnah`s Private Secretary,. All the three said that it was Mountbatten`s hindsight. However the rest of what Mountbatten told Kuldip Nayar is supported by the records he had maintained of various interviews and personal talks he had-as many as a hundred and thirty three interviews with political leaders between 24 March and 6 May 1947 alone.
Mountbatten recalled how he hd warned Jinnah that it would be very difficult to hold together the two wings with no land connection and 1000 miles of alien territory in between. "the Bengalis cultural ties are too strong; you know how Curzon tried and failed." (The reference was to the vain effort that Lord Curzon, as Viceroy, made to partition this should read: Bengal.)

The word `disease` is often associated with ailment. However, it points to a state of dis-ease, both in body and mind. Moreover, the mind is so powerful that it can create any sickness in the body. This is hard to believe but true. Even scientific research today is proving what our sages said millennia ago. Therefore, a diseased body could be an indication that the mind is not `at ease` and this factor needs to be first addressed. This is what Anandmurti Gurumaa said in speaking tree on Aug.10, 2014.

The OECD, a club of rich countries, has done well to unveil a single global standard for automatic exchange of financial account information to combat money-laundering and tax evasion. It mandates banks, brokers, and fund houses to collect information from their clients and pass it on to their respective regulators. It is a matter of time with the G20 already turning heat on Switzerland and other tax havens.
OECD`s initiative will end the practice of MNC`s shifting profits to tax havens and avoiding payment of taxes in their homelands.As information exchange becomes automatic, companies will find it harder to inflict "base erosion and profit shifting" on their host nations. Kind Regards! Sunder T

Everyday, instead of growing spiritually, we are wrapped in the drama of these negative traits. Our true wealth is our soul and our connection to God within. We cannot partake of that wealth because our attention is on the riotous activities of these thieves. we want to meditate, but these thieves drag us into their never ending play of insanity. We want to be selfless, but they keep us occupied in thinking or our own needs and wants. They are ruining our peace of mind. We want tb eb calm, but they cause us to be in a state of turmoil. How can we rid of thieves? (as said Sant Rajinder Singh in  the speaking tree. Kind Regards. Sunder T

sunderbloger on Anger.210714

"For every hour you remain angry you give up 60 minutes of joy. Ask yourself: Why do we lose our joy for petty things? Unimportant things have become more important. Joy is the most important energy but we lose it for a viewpoint that seems more imprtant than joy. Has something gone wrong inn the way we look at life? We give up our life for winning our point of view, or getting a status in life or money or position. One has to learn to drop this foolishness. Anger is an expression of foolishness" - Discourse:Swami Sukhabodhananda.

Do you know that the most expensive election in Indian history? A staggering Rs 30,500 (US5.2 billion) was spent by the various parties and independent candidates on the campaigning in recent general election in 2014. (US spent $ 7 on presidential race - but you can not compare India with US). But you will appreciate that since Modi has won hands down, the expenses are worth the victory of BJP. Besides Modi, the CEO has the following guideline in his mind:
(1) Small cohesive cabinet with restructured portfolios
(2) Cabinet minister to be aided by 3-4 ministers of state
(3) Super PMO manned by sector specific specialist/technocrats
(4) Quasi-Presidential style of hands-on governance
(5) Bigger outreach to chief ministers
(6) Devolution of power to the states
(7) Empowerment of bureaucrats to fiz problems
(8) Govt. to be indulgent of the opposition, initially

Mumbai4u: A new report by the UN, launched on Friday 11, 2014 projected that an additional
2.5 billion people would live in cities by 2050. At 21 million, Mumbai is already the world`s 4th
largest city after Tokyo (38m), Shanghai (23m) and Sao Paulo and Mexico (21 each).
The UN expects 37% of urban population growth to come from three countries- by 2050,
India is projected to add 404 million urban dwellers, China 292 million and Nigeria 212 million.
A McKinsey study projects, that, by 2030, Indian cities will generate around 70% of its GDP.
India doesn’t actually live in its villages- the 2001 census classified 68% of Indian as city dwellers.

Mumbai4u: Subject: Local train fare vs Tokyo, New York, and London
The commute by a suburban train seems to be cheaper than other modes of transport in Mumbai, and is also cheaper compared to train tickets in cities across the world.
WR general manager Hemant Kumar said, "Travelling by a local train could be as cheap as 11 paise per km and for the first class travel, 37 paise. For BEST buses, it comes to 82 paise per km and for AC BEST buses it comes to Rs.2.65 per km. Globally too, fares are higher in New York, train travel cost Rs. 11.80  per km, while it is Rs.18.90 in Tokyo and Rs.29.20 in London." TNN
For your information, Mumbai is going to be the 4th largest city in the world by 2030, next to only Tokyo, New York, and London. Today Mumbai is putting 40% of India`s taxes amount in the kitty. Kindly correct me and oblige. Thanks.
Kind Regards!

India as a nation is 67 years old, having gained independence from colonial rule, but in some ways we still behave like spoilt children who have yet to learn to accept the self-responsibility which is an essential qualification for being a full-fledged adult. If anyone dares to point out the errors in any of our ways, we bristle with defensive indignation, protective of our persistent immaturity, or refusal to grow up and accept ourselves for what we are, haloes, warts and all, the good and the admirable- and there are many admirable things about us, about what India has made  of itself- as well as the bad and the deplorable. Jag Suraiya says in his editorial column on July 16, 2014, in TOI -page16, col. 1&2, that the response  to his column could provide a gauge for our (India) maturity meter. Are we (Indians) finally growing up or we still growing down? The choice is ours. Kind Regards. Sunder T

Subject:  New Prime Minister of India from 2014 onwards
India needs its next prime minster to have big ideas and push them through.
The new prime minister could reduce reservation in education and jobs by
1-2 % every year, which will help banish casteism from our society by 2030.
It is time for India to have such a transformational prime minister –one who
will modernize India`s cities, solve agriculture and water woes, break the
shackles of casteism, bring about manufacturing revolution and improve
government efficiency. Such an agenda can decisively alter economic
fortunes of millions while simultaneously revamping the social fabric of
our country. This is what said N.V Krishnakumar in TOI on Jan.08, 2014.

The human soul is not a just a passive spectator. It participates in our daily life by putting in a word in its shy and non-assertive way, but in a crystal-clear voice. The dynamic aspect of the soul is the psychic being.
Soul is like the president of India. The president is at the highest level, but for the sake of dignity of office keeping a distance from routine affairs. For dealing with routine affairs, he appoints a prime minister. The `Prime Minister` that the Soul appoints is the `Ego1. The ego has three `ministers`- the Body, Emotions and Intellect- to take care of different portfolios. But, like the president, sometimes the Soul also feels like putting in a word. The president has a secretariat to take care of that. The secretariat of the soul is the Psychic Being. Follow Ramesh Bijlani at Speaking- tree.in

Lokpal bill has kindled hopes of curbing graft, but more needs to be done to banish the menace of Corruption.  Nothing emboldens the corrupt more than the belief that there will be negligible or no consequences for their corrupt behavior. The Lokpal will, hopefully, contribute in some measures to create the nexus between crime and punishment.
The following steps are necessary.
(1)  Reform of funding and financial accountability of political parties.
(2) A systematic increase in the neutral intervention of technology into as many as possible where
      the common man has to deal with government.
(3) Finalization of model legal framework ensuring transparency and fair play in all transactions relating
      to the disposal and acquisition of national resources and government procurement processes.
(4) Instituting deterrent action in a time bound and exemplary manner for all acts of corruption, which
      in turn, presupposes substantive judicial reforms.
The seed of corruption is the link between Politian’s and political parties and unaccounted money.
Anna Hazare has taught us that public pressure is a potent weapon in compelling reform. The onus to put that pressure lies on the people of India.

India is becoming a political circus where our leaders [Netas] beat our abhinetas anytime, their posturing making 70 mm look small! For example the Lokpal Bill- 46 years after a nation awoke to its destiny, as Jawaharlal Nehru put it, and smelt the coffee-tops any filmi plot.

We as human beings have power - not just to cause harm and
create terror but to help ourselves of this seemingly hopeless
scenario of doom and gloom. It might seem contradictory that
people are empowered and empower others, merely by being
kind and compassionate and not because they are overbearing,
manipulative and unkind and force their view on others. A kind
word, a good deed, a cring gesture, a warm simile, all these
are like power kegs. Kindness and compassion spring from
inner security whereas aggression and hatred come from
inner insecurity. When our backs are up against the wall,
positive inner resources come to the rescue. Sometimes they
are invisible but in times of distress, they give us strength
and help us emerge as powerful game changers.

India is a funny place for business. Nitin Gadkari has proved it.
Which other country can claim such a distinction, which showcases
Not only multitasking abilities, but also socio-economic equality? Can
Barack Obama`s chauffeur take on the job of a company director even
while continuing to drive the US president around? Can Mitt Romney`s
driver do both such jobs at the same time? Nope, It`s only in India
where such inspiring success stories are possible
Drivers, peons, munims(Accountants),  astrologers, who are part of the Gadkari
network of companies have all shown a commendable flair for
business affairs and have been suitably rewarded with high corporate
office. Moreover, the BJP leader is not the only one under whose
benevolent disposition such enterprise has been encouraged to thrive.
Similar success stories abound right across India`s political spectrum.
The reason for his is simple. Unlike elsewhere, in India the danda (stick)
of the law is accommodative of `h`s, as in `hera-pheri`(cheating).  This small
inclusion changes the danda (stick) of the law into the business of dhandha
(business) as usual
