Dawn of 2013- Another year of Kali-yuga ????

Year after year, we the inhabitants on the “Holy” soil of India pray for a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful, Powerful, and Prosperous New Year. Once again SUN of 2012 is about to set & we eagerly await for the Rising SUN of 2013. The poignant tragedy to the Family of the Brave Girl, who fought her battle for a LIFE in KALI-YUGA but suffered, struggled & succumbed in the last month of 2012 shattered “Humanity” on the land of all Greats of the World & made us to believe the theory of Kali-yuga, as preached by folklore. 

Reproduced are few thoughts on Kali-yuga from Vedic Knowledge online:


“According to the Vedic scriptures, our current age, known as Kali-yuga, is one of spiritual darkness, violence and hypocrisy. Srimad-Bhagavatam (12.2.31) records Kali-yuga as having begun when the constellation of the seven sages (saptarsi) passed through the lunar mansion of Magha. Hindu astrologers have calculated this to have been 2:27 a.m. on February 18, 3102 BC. This took place some 36 years after Lord Krisna spoke Bhagavad-Gita to Arjuna. 

It had been preached that during the 432,000 year age of Kali-yuga humanity will deteriorate and fall into barbarism. Political leadership falls into the hands of unprincipled rogues, criminals and terrorists, who use their power to exploit the people. Thieves are numerous and rapes are frequent. There are many beggars, and widespread unemployment. Merchants operate corrupt businesses.
Diseases, rats, and foul substances plague the populace. Water is lacking, fruits are scarce. Everyone uses vulgar language.  The men of Kali-yuga seek only money. 
 Only the richest have power. People without money are their slaves. The leaders of the state no longer protect the people, but plunder the citizenry through excessive taxation. Farmers abandon living close to nature. They become unskilled labourers in congested cities. Many dress in rags, or are unemployed, and sleep on the streets. Through the fault of the government, infant mortality rates are high. False gods are worshiped in false ashrams, in which pilgrimages, penances, charities and austerities are all concocted.”

After going through the above depiction of Kali-yuga, don’t we believe that we are passing through the Age of Kali-yuga only? Not the ostensible imagination of “Modern” India to be amongst “Superpower” by 2020.

We must pray to GOD for reversing the hypothesis of Kali-yuga & bestow Indian society with a Commanding & Ubiquitous Leaders  like Lord Krishna who can Rule & ruin the Rogue elements by “Complete destruction” of “Adharma” (evil). Political system in the country calls for insistent cleansing by the People power & youth revolution so that the sanctity of “Truth”, "Honesty", “Humanity” & “Justice” prevails.

May the year 2013 turn out to be a YEAR of OPTIMISM, ENTHUSIASM, AWAKENING & REVOLUTION Year for Indian society to roll back or stop the wheel of “Kali-yuga”.

"Active" &"Passive" phases of Life

My father had a terrible Brain stroke in January 2012 with Paralysis on his right side affecting vocal chord as well. With over seven decades of his "active" life, watching him in such state of distress is throbbing on our minds & forcing us to witness an 'unwanted" "passive" phase in his journey of Life. At one time  Doctors,too expressed  inability to console us by few "good" or even diplomatic words & we were made to believe that there is complete "dark" future in rest of life journey for my father that too with conditional allusion haunting around us always-"if survived".

Though physically in "passive" state , yet his enthusiasm, & willpower to become "active" through medication, Physio therapy ,Reiki etc are always evident in his eyes.

Our family, members of Dwivedi clan, relatives, former colleagues of father & well wishers of my family all prayed for his recovery. By God's grace he is recovering & slowly but steadily getting over the phase of fretfulness. However whenever we interacted during the course of his ordeal,fighting for recapturing a normal "active" role in the life journey, it turned out to be "role reversal" for us wherein we kept consoling & tried to boost/cheer up the confidence of father to prevent him to go into "depression".

The kind of experience we have had & my father's tribulation at the age of 72 once again proved how the path of "sinusoidal" waves is synonymous with life path of any individual,crossing through positive & negative "peaks"yet we continue to rejoice positive peaks & restrain during negative peaks with optimism to get over to regain positive peaks or in other words "Faith is the sense of life,that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself,but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live." as perceived by Leo Tolstoy.

We all strongly believe & have faith in GOD that my father would continue to live on with transformation into "active" phase soon with his spirited fight for life to recuperate posiive cycle of sinusoidal wave in his life journey.

 

Disgrace to Indian Democracy- Is Mamta Head of Cabinet???

Is this the kind of "democracy" our Constitution advocates,where Prime Minister becomes so "toothless"? In the era of coalition politics, now time has come for a major Constitutional amendment to empower PM alike President of USA i.e presidential system. Perhaps, PM may become more authoritative or "Dictator" type in negative sense,but in 5 year term atleast he/she will be able to implement his VISION & MISSION for country with a definitive Power,Role & Responsibility.So far, Manmohan singh seems to be the "Weakest" PM of India since independence.

Most of Scams /corruption like 2G, Commonwealth Games or ISRO controversy or mess up in civil aviation sector can be very well attributed to extremely inefficient & weak adminstrative management at highest level(PM/PMO). It is not due to PM's skill sets,rather a poignant fact of Coalition Politics.(PM honestly admitted long back the fact in the face to face with Media). But Why this Chaos? A firm stand could have led to loosing power but might have  rejuvenated the esteem of PM & UPA.

If Mamta/Jaylalitha/Sonia have power to administer Govt,PM designation should be "Coordinating PM" and all controlling individuals could be designated as "Co PMs" alike Co-Chairman/Chairperson of Cabinet.
Shocked to see Mamta made exit of a Cabinet Minister in 5min with a "brazen" attitude. When Anna Team was protesting & criticizing about the state of Parliamentary democracy, the whole Political -clan was up against protecting 'Parliamentary supremacy" as bestowed under Constitution. PM as the head of Cabinet regrets for the exit of Railway Minister but he does not have power to uphold Cabinet decision on Railway Budget which would have been cleared by Cabinet before presenting in the Parliament.

Perhaps, Mamta made mockery of parliamentary democracy, diminishing the credibilty of PM to the lowest level ever since independence.
