Timelessness is A Uni-verse


Timelessness is A Uni-verse 

 (a humble tribute to our great country Bharata  as we complete 75 years of Independence) 


Its 11.30pm, there are over 5000 balloons to be filled and decorations to be done for our Flag Hoisting Celebrations at 10 am !

As I see endless tricolor balloons being filled up for carnations by young boys earning their livelihood by enabling people   to celebrate #IndiaAt75, my mind races past  in a quest to understand how I have seen our beloved India endure these 75 years in spite of being the World's Oldest Civilization, one that practiced Democracy.

I begin here by putting the possible reasons as my tribute to this great Nation.

The fundamentals of our Country are itself ingrained in Sanatana ! which literally means Timelessness. So our way or path of life and living can be only experienced with time.

As people born in  Timelessness we endure, get inculcated, absorbed and are  influenced by a path of application of our mind, heart and beauty which becomes our foundation.

Our entire existence is for a larger cause of unifying our mind and heart into a purpose for life in its entirety, any life, any form of life.

Over a period of eons these integrate naturally with a life enhancing universe, so in effect this Timelessness becomes a poem with a uni - verse.

Its becomes a habit of our integrated universe to throw up minds and knowledge of various kinds from time to time but rooted in this Timelessness.

In spite of cross purposes that exist in nature like those between sun and clouds or inherent unbiased  qualities of elements like fire burning or water wetting matter or air carrying fragrance or foul smell, our uni-verse is able to embrace diversity.

Our foundation built on these sound principles make us wonder, how is it that we are able to endure and tolerate so effortlessly that many other civilizations cannot !

This is how our foundations have become stronger rooted in Timelessness. In spite of  numerous diverse external influences we continue to retain this uniqueness.

It is important for us to make it a habit to  revisit our foundations with our parents, families, society along with everyone we belong, to invigorate our Country which is a part in this Timeless uni-verse.

This is the least we can do to contribute to our awareness of this unique path, so that we do not  say with compulsion,  we are what we are because of our diversity, but we are what we are in spite of our diversity.

Public Memory is Short

 Public Memory is Short  2006 Serial Terror Blasts in Mumbai . 11th July  2006 was Guru Poornima, like every year I was fasting. I had a client meeting at the Lower Patel Area in Mumbai. My colleague and I decided to travel by Train instead of driving.  We finished our meeting at about 5.30 pm and were wondering, whether we go to Lower Parel Station and take a Train or go to Dadar and take a fast train to Jogeshvari . We decided on the latter,  and took a cab to Dadar Station West. It was 5.40 pm. I was eagar to  break my fast and have a bite. Panshikars at Dadar Station is famous for upavas / fast related stuff, we had a bite. It was  5.55 pm. My colleague left and I got up to walk across to the Station, and I met a friend of mine Mr.Kamdar after 10 years who has a Raymond Showroom and we got talking, my mind was racing with getting back to office and constantly peering at my watch . It was 6.05 pm. I told Mr.Kamdar I got to rush but he insisted on me...

Reclaiming Ownership of a Civilization - Part 2 .

  In Part 1 we saw a structure of evolution of Ownership and belonging being the connecting cord to reclaiming a Civilization.  Here in Part 2, we see an  example of how, Hindus could reclaim their ownership of their civilization and prove the exact location of the birth of Bhagawan Ram at Ayodhya. Background: ● A Stone Boards Pillar ● An Incomplete Map ● An Ancient Book and a Divine Intervention made it look as if Bhagawan Ram Himself was leading the course of events through chosen people. Chronology:  1902, Ayodhya A British officer named only as 'Edward' does a survey of all 148 Teertha Sthalams of Ayodhya based on the Skanda Puranam.  He notifies his survey by erecting Stone Boards (Pillar) with numbers in each of the Teertha Sthalams. “Penalty of Rs 3000 and 3 years of jail if anyone removes these pillars”. After 117 years these Pillars would play an important role in India's history. 2005, Lucknow Lawyer P.N.Mishra was going by car from Lucknow to Calcutta...

Reclaiming Ownership of A Civilization

 Jai Shree Ram and Pranam to All 🙏 As I see the compelling reverence and frenzy encapsulating the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishta at Ayodhya all over our  Bharat and the World itself, my mind is intensely enveloped with divine feelings in my faith over the last few days. Overpowering feelings and emotions  have renewed the deep roots of belonging to divine within me, as I write this post. By Lord Rama's Grace, I express my feelings.
