Have we lost our Identity?

India - For years we had been a nation enriched with best culture, traditions and lifestyle. The way our people lived were like an example to many other nations. Rich in language, religion and art we were the dominating ones and perhaps the old ones around the world. Our civilization was the best and well-studied/researched by several scholars. Although divided by caste, religion and language, we were exhibiting unity in our relationships. A flurry of cultures thronged this part of the world for long and survived the test of times. We worshiped God – Nature as well. We lived the way Vedas taught us to live. The Kings ruled as per the customs that were established and written by Vedic Gurus. Each and every man lived the way according to his duties that were planned. Everyone followed the Dharma and complemented each other. We were great predictors of the future through astrology and great scholars of the functioning and effects of the solar system’s objects movements. We were the firs...

BrahminGiri ~ A change in Perception

For over hundreds of years, Brahmins were held high above other castes and were given special privileges by the rulers of the lands. Their job was to teach Vedas to their disciples and guide them towards reaching the eternal. There were GuruKulas where the Brahmin kids used to learn more about God and traditions of our society. They were deployed in temples and were the designated ones to perform Poojas to the Supreme power on this planet. Since the last two hundred years, where there have been massive revolutions across the globe for freedom, the mistreatment of the lower castes begun to drop down even in India. The liberals such as Periyar contributed a lot towards treating everyone equally without any bias and give equal benefits to all. To a great extent he was the primary force behind upliftment of the financially and socially backward caste groups. The Reservation factor was introduced and that helped these people a lot in getting equal Education and Jobs in the society. ...

Hindutva - Why Shouldn't we be Proud

This has been a land that has belief in the Almighty for over a million years from now. It goes back to the days when the planet and the living things got created by the Supremo. We have millions of Gods in Hindu mythology with each of them pinned to their own duties. Dozens of Ramayans and Mahabharatas were believed to have happened. All this is cyclic. The Supreme power has already decided our fate and our actions that lead to our fate. Everything has already been planned and written. The Vedas talk about God, his various forms and how life must be lived by categorizing people and their duties. Good and Bad both existed in this plan and always the Good finally won over the Bad. Our culture and history followed the Vedas. The Kings ruled as per the guidelines written. They built temples and performed Poojas/Homas to purify the polluted world. The Sanyasis performed deep meditation to feel God. Our body contains Chakras that try to constantly interact with the Divine power. God is th...

Atheism - A Fashion?

Ever since this universe got created and mankind was born, the faith on God existed. He was considered to be the supreme power - the creator of all. Dozens of Ramavatars and Krishnavatars were believed to have been happened spanning hundreds of thousands of years. The total lifecycle was considered cyclic with the current Kalyug to have been completed over a dozen times. Vedas, Religion, Spirituality flourished in India and our contry is considered to be the home of God. Over 80 lacs living things and crores of Gods in various forms were believed to exist. Most of our epics and stories were based on Gods and of their different Avatars. The way we live our life was based on the categorizations made in Vedas. Although we have deviated largely from them due to the advacement in Science and Technology, there are still people who live the defined way, by staying dedicated to Gods and of their worship. The very new concept of Atheism was born over two centuries ago mainly as a result o...

The Power of God

Billions of people believe in that divine unique power that drives us and the universe. For millions of years the universe has believed to be in place and have witnessed the true nature of God. God created each and every thing in this universe. Especially Indians believe that this life is a cycle. For over a dozen times epics like Ramayana and Mahabharatha happened. The Yugas were cyclic and carried the human race with it. Although it is known that over 80 lakhs living creatues were created by God and we have progressed step by step, it is still unclear to predict the overall life of this universe. It was created, lived, destroyed and re-created - as said by the Saints. The enormity of this universe is mind blowing. God has created this mother nature for us to enjoy and appreciate. Enormous amount of stories are there presenting God as that divine part taking us through our lives and teaching us human values. Even this Kali Yuga is known to have passed millions of years. Scientists t...
