The everlasting impact of my journey in my dreamland, Germany

The everlasting impact of my journey in my dreamland, Germany during the period of attending the conference of World Parliament Experiment, and my further visit to France, Belgium, Austria, Rome, Florence and Venice has left the scar and has been eroded forever on account of violation of Human Right in India. As soon as, I stepped inside my home land i.e. India, I suffered a set back of having no place of sitting at platform in anticipation of arrival of the booked train after few hours, which gradually converted to half of the day without any accountability of the erring Official. Since the Rampant corruption is ascending in alarming situation and so far its galloping race is not halted on account of character assassination of the employees and officials governing the nation, some thing crucial is required to be done to eradicate corruption apathetical attitude towards public by infringing their human right.. Wake up India against it ,otherwise it will be too late for Indians. There is complete apathy with the suffering of the people, who have already undertaken the Journey in some other nation, where accountability of the officers is immense and proximate to the human right. It was just like that some body (Bird) flying in the sky, and there after he was pushed by the wind in opposite direction, from where, even to maintain an equilibrium for the survival of that bird flying at high altitude, may become impossible. Thus the poor bird may be compelled to think over that what was there in flying the air. No man can protect his dignity and Human Right on account of lethargic attitude of the Employees, who have become corrupt and Money Gurgler, eroding the very foundation of people, from whom they are having the enumeration for their survival and Livelihood.
Is India worth saving? Is democracy worth saving? These are the two fundamental questions we must address now - before it is too late. Indians values are disappearing rapidly as we lose our independence and our sovereignty. Every Indian is having the debt upon him at the time of his birth of 140 dollars, which is equivalent to Rs. 6000/- each. According to the calculation of World Bank in 2005 , India was ranked as debt ridden countries list at Seventh place. It was undergoing through the debt of 165.4 dollar upon each Indians.
This has happened with me after arriving here from European Nations, where I was invited to attend the world parliament Experiment 2008 (WPA 08) at Bonn, Germany. It was a tedious journey full of glamour, as it was beyond my expectations that one may travel on the same tracks by undertaking his journey inside the Inter-se-16 Countries Railway services., Inter cities Railway Journey, travel through fast moving Buses and Trams, as well as by own private cars, through cycle and the pedestrians on the walk will be passing through same tracks without confrontation. I undertaken my journey through Moscow to Düsseldorf ( Germany) on 2.15 A,M. on 21st Feb 2008. I reached Moscow at about 8.15 A.M. on 21st feb. 2008. From here, I have to change my flight to catch one Airbus carrying very few passengers upto Düsseldorf ( Germany). I reached their at about 9.45 A.M. It is worth while to mention that there is the difference of 4.30 hours earlier in Germany. After the immigration and custom checking, I was received by my sister Sandhya Saxena at the Airport itself. She has taken me on the short drive to her Small well furnished flat, where I have taken the Tub bath in open Sunlight, as the roof of the flat was covered with the strong glass. There after she had taken me on drive at a distance of 25 K.M. to a hospital in orthopedic ward, where my Maternal Uncle, on account of dislocation of his back bone, was operated on his spinal cord,. It took another hour, when I finally reached to his residence at kerkern. This place was located inside the Village, and there were beautiful farm houses with full of systematic farming and for generating the electricity. There were big wind fans roaming by the flow of air to generate electricity. The right hand driving was without any rider or obstruction on the passage. The speed of car was regulated by the computers and every where in Germany, the police was patrolling as to provide a check on the crime. It was the second Floor of the house, where I was offered to stay during night and since it was already late, I could not visit my shops to purchase Indian vegetarian food items. Any way Sandhya left me their and there after she went to her home, which was located in Düsseldorf.
On 22nd feb. 2008, I visited the local market along with my aunt and also the local Bank, in order to convert my 500 euro currency note to small denomination of currency. I was taken to the big market, the churches of different sects and also to the Buddhist disciples, as the entire family of my maternal uncle is pure vegetarian, like many other Germens and they have the keen interest in learning Vedic traditions and Upanishads. Every where there was the clean air and the garbage is stored in the Garbage Containers according to its variety. One may not find that polythene bag is lying in the garbage of Tissues papers and biodegradable substances were placed to use them as fertilizers. They were eating only the substance of food Items, which are cultivated upon the biodegradable substances like the extracts of the wood and Leaves, which were in abundances. There was plenty of teak woods plants, “Seesam” trees, and other plants which are generally found on the hills. The whether was like the whether of Simala, Chail, Menially, Darjling and of other Himalayan cities. It was resembling to the whether of Pathankot, Chandan-Wadi and Amarnath as will as of Gulmerg and Tunmerg in Kashmir. There was full of Oxygen and one may take pleasure of riding on the Hilly Tracks in Germany.
Since the Opening session of World Parliament Conference was scheduled from 23rd Feb. 2008, I was dropped there by Sandhya and there I was offered to stay at the residence of Mr. Kristofferson Kiomall located at Kreuzherrenstrasse-53, across the Rhine River in the City of Bonn, Germany . It was located near Limperich Railway Station, where there was no office to purchase a ticket, Except the screen having display of the Charges to different destinations. On the next date,I was traveling about 14 stations to reach at Tennenbusch Mitte after crossing Hauptbahnhof (Main Railway Station) at Bonn. However I was told that I have to reach Tennenbusch sud, which was located one station prior to the said station. The place of Conference was lying at the walking distance. However on account of pronouncement difficulty in Dutch language, I could not reach there, except after being fetched by Dr. Rasmus Tenbergen, the Executive Director of WPE08 at Bonn. However the other day the venue of conference was changed to the Main Hall at the University of Bonn. The university was lying within the walking distance from Hauptbahnhof (Main Railway Station) at Bonn. Thus I started coming to this place on foot from Kreuzherrenstrasse-53, across the Rhine River in the City of Bonn, Germany. It was in the night of 24th Feb. 2008, that when as per the instruction given to me by Mr. Kristofferson Kiomall, he will be available at home after 10 P.M., I reached there on foot at about 10.30 P.M., I found that there is no light out side as to inform the gentle nan about my arrival at his home. I rang to my uncle and when he rang again to him then the door opened after one hour. This has given me a lesson to come early. On the next day after attending the conference, I saw that some miscreants are chasing me from a long distance and stop their car on the blockage of the road and waited there for my arrival, but knowing their evil design by my sixth senses for probably snatching my movie Camera, Automatic Zooming Camera, My mobile of Samson and 600 euros, which I was carrying along with my bag , I stopped there till they have not fled away from the spot. However when I proceeded ghastly to reach at the place of my destination, I was fallen on the slop near the bridge, which was near the Railway Station Limperich and being injured on my forehead , I reached the place of Mr. Kristofferson Kiomall located at Kreuzherrenstrasse-53, across the Rhine River in the City of Bonn, Germany. Thus I have made up my mind not to take the risk any more as there is no one even to understand my language of conversation. I decided to undertake my Journey on Eurail Pass ticket to France, Rome, Venice, Austria and Florence. In the conference, I was made moderator on the first day and there after I was allowed to address the August gathering of the people assembled there to attend this conference.
In this process since the time was very short and I wanted to visit other Important cities of Germany like Frankfurt, Stud guard, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg, I have purchased the D.B. Bahn ( Railway Ticket with reservation Coach) as I may travel during night and may visit these cities during day time. I am really indebted of my sisters Sandhya, Usha and my Uncle Sri Ram Mohan Saxena and his Wife for there affections. Sri Ram Mohan Saxena prepared the delicious Indian food preparation all the time. He has given me the gift, which are very valuable for me. My aunt has taken me on long drive to Abbey café, and old Kerkern , Where the Hitler during 2nd World War , on account of being suspicious on Neither land Spying racket, had conducted the rigorous Raid on the said Church.
However the reception, accommodation delicious Indian food dishes and the treatment given to me by Sri Harro Jensen and Uta Jensen, with whom my family meet at Sarnath, Varanasi, is of no expression in this writing of my sentimental outburst. She greet me in Hindu tradition and offered me the “KHEER” made up of best rice. They offered me the place of Bhantey Ji for Sitting and also the room for my staying during the night. The three storey house hang the construction on wood was excellently decorated with precious Collection. The offering of every potential, which this family of Mr. Harro Jensen was having in her contributions to provide it an permanent impact on the memory of their association with a strange individual is of no compression. Sri Harro Jensen has taken me inside the tunnels below the River and simultaneously on the highest Bridge, as the water of such river may not provide the blockage to transportation. The sight lacks, the churches were marvelous. Mr. Harro Jensen has shown me the big Ships lying across the River, the containers and other Storage places of Carpet, and the Chinese cabins meant for staying of the tourists. The buildings prior to the 2nd world war were duly preserved to show their heritage. I was taken inside the different underground trains and was invited for introspection. He has taken me to Indian Restaurant namely Kashmir Hotel run by the Couple belonging to Amiritsar, Punjab. The Paratha and Kofta, Paneer with beans and the rice was delicious as that of the five star Hotel. On the next day , I proceeded to take the sentimental departure , I could see the sentimental breakdown of Smt. Uta Jensen, when she left me to depart with her husband as he may show me the beautiful place again. Number of gifts for my Children, my wife and other friends were offered by them. Then I have taken a ride in the Ship, which covered a long distance and there after came back to the site of our boarding in the train. H e wanted to show me every thing and always taken the care of my baggage and when I insisted for lifting it by my own then he said me that in case of my insistment, he will get me, being uplifted on the other soldier. There was the true relationship developed by Mr. Harro Jensen and Uta Jensen as both these couple after completion of 52 years of first marriage, are having three children and their grand Children. I could see the trust of Friendship and since Mr. Harro Jensen have his date of Birth on 2nd march, he was having the zodiac sign the real Aires with the Mars in its full broom and his wife was Virgo. They were having the marvelous collection of Pottery, Sea Side Collection, Collection of Beautiful Flower and every thing at his house was auspicious. I can never forget such reception in my life.
Gradually the time ended in my dream land as the time of my departure arrived very soon. I was boarded in the Train at 7.4 A.M. to reach Düsseldorf from Neo-kern ( New Kerkern) . The timing of the train is sharp edge time schedule and the train , even not arrive late by few Seconds. I reached Düsseldorf and from there I was required to reach 17th platform from 7th platform. The language was heavy. Then I took train upto Air Port Düsseldorf. I reached at 9 A.M. there. The departure of my Flight was scheduled at 10.40 A.m. on 6th March 2008. This flight through Air Bus again has taken the time of 5.10 hours. I reached Moscow at 15.50. Then I was required to wait upto 20.50, Which was the time of the departure of my plane. It took about 6 hours and 40 minutes to reach at Indira Gandhi International Air Port at New Delhi. The mental agony started only thereafter. On the Air port , I was subjected to undertake a rigorous standing of 3 hours only to have my Immigration check Up. Thus I missed my train schedule to depart at about 7 A.M. for Allahabad. Thereafter I purchased the ticket from train scheduled to depart at 16.30 P.M. from Nizammuddin Railway Station . Delhi. At the last the moment, there was announcement that the train will now depart late and is expected to depart at 20.40 O Clock. Thus again the untold story of mental agony of the person, who was provided accommodation in 5star Hotel during night in Germany, only on account of the delay of 10 minute, as the connecting train from Munich to Düsseldorf was not available due to late arrival of such train from Hum berg. It was already 36 hours sleepless journey undertaken by an Indian in Europe, Who was craving to reach at the place of his destination at Allahabad, U.P.in India.
The continuation of dynastic rule by Gandhi era has become consciously or unconsciously the foreign Rule. No one Single handedly may elect the representative of the voter to the electoral college. The concept of spirit inherently personal choice of the voter to get their representatives in electoral college has been completely vanished. Exercise of liberty vote is overburdened with !) to evaluate expression less action performance at the behest of the people in power2)to select the candidate as representatives from the limited choice imposed upon the voters by party system 3) to express their adult franchises like a illiterate voters amongst the limited choice between the rascals nominated by party as god fathers mainly on the basis of money power or by choosing an idiot, who may be ruled with remote control even on the post of President and Prime Minister 4) Criminals may be given free hand to take a political decision under the garb of appeasement 5) Nehru- Gandhi nexus which remain responsible for creation of Pakistan has again risen their heads to divide India , Pakistan and Bangla Desh in many Segmentations. This is virtually the Concept of Rule of majority vote. The country is being dismantled after more than a half century of nation building. On 26th January, 1950, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar said that India will become Independent Country. India has been lost by it’s infidelity and treachery by some of our own people. The invasion of Sind by Invader Mohd. Bin Kasim, as the Military commanders of King Dahar accepted the Bribes and they refused to fight. It was Jai Chandra “Arjun”, who invited Mohammad Ghori to invade Sri Prithivi Raj Chauhan and promised help of himself and of the King Solanki. History has been repeated in case of Afzal again. Their will be another hijacking of Plane to get him release. The attackers on the Court premises are well protected by these traitors living in our country and killing the so called infidels under the banner of Jihad?. Our independence , after creation of Pakistan is again in jeopardize and probably we may loose it forever On 23rd Feb. 2000 , Sri K.R. Narayanan, President of India promulgated “ The National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution by a message:- Right of vote under universal adult Franchise gives Right and opportunity to participate Every men in Democratic process and select a Govt. However we all know that the election system in India may not get the rid to the system of Corruption, Crimilisation , money, nepotism , favoritism and Muscle power. Home Minister of India accepts in 2002: - There are the defect in election system, but it is difficult to blame for it to the Government, it’s officers, and to the Political Parties. Sri Bimal Jalan said that Common Citizen is concerned about Administrative apathy, Corruption and failure to provide Promised benefit to the poor Farmers. India is ranking Highest in the Global corruption level of World. Here is dismal Ranking in Human Development. We may see poverty as the caste to the people is placed above for elimination of poverty, alleviation, hunger, Illiteracy and health. This problem is Systemic and never projected like Episodic to the people. We are losing control of our most important industries. As we give up domestic ownership of our assets, we lose the most exciting and challenging jobs, which too often move to the new corporate headquarters outside India- and young people who want those jobs must follow. It's part of the brain drain. In effect, India has become a victim of "Globalization". We are told this process is both inevitable and good. It is only inevitable if we let it happen. It is only good for twenty percent of the world's richest and most powerful people. It is bad for the vast majority. We need debate for participation of 1000 people for electoral college candidates in future election process to come forward and eliminate the monopoly of limited Choice for selecting the representatives by the voters. There must be the implementation of systematic Solution , even at the cost of absurdity and obsessive- ness in the defective system. We have to search the effect- cause and relationship in reformative trends. There may be some strategy to represent majority of farmers for making a proposal to provide them the cost of International Market. There may be tortuous liability and lesser faire policy of functioning be made accountable. Let criminals may know that Crime is a bad Bargain to them. The license Quota System be abolished and Religious activities be prohibited on public Premises as secularity of nation in multifarious religious country be Maintained

Ancient Vedic times they knew about Quantum Sciences and its applications in a variety of ways. The karma theory is one such way. Krishna was able to travel among different dimensions as well. The foreigners stole our books, translated them and pretended it is their discovery while the Hindus are still moaning and bitching and having intellectual debates about everything, just because for a handful of centuries some foreigners took over. Opposition will always be there in one form or another. SO WHAT!! We have to start again and rebuild a new Hindu nation. Maybe we could call it Aryavarta. One should remember, 'karmanye vadhikarasta ma faleshu kadachana'.

Prajapati, the Creator, in his assembly hall, is said to have proclaimed, "Whoever knows the Self shall obtain everything." This declaration was heard by the gods as well as the demons. They all felt that this is good news."Whoever knows the Self shall obtain everything. Then we shall know the Self, so that we may have all things. We shall learn what this Atman, this Self, is. We shall go to Prajapati and request him to initiate us into the mystery of the Atman." The gods were represented by Indra, the ruler of the gods; the demons were represented by their leader, known as Virochana. Indra and Virochana, both, went to Prajapati and pleaded before him, "We have heard your great statement that whoever knows the Self shall have all things. We wish to know the Self."Prajapati said: "Yes, good. Go and stand near a reservoir of water and see what is there; whatever you see there is the Self. Go. I have initiated you into the nature of the Self." They were very happy - this initiation is very simple,so Indra and Virochana saw what was there in the pool of water. What would they see, except their own body? Virochana and Indra saw themselves reflected in the water. Is this the Self? Well, Prajapati, the great Master, has told us that this is the Self. It must be. Very good.Virochana was very happy, "I have understood the Self; now I shall have all things." He went to his people and proclaimed to all the Asuras that this is the Self. "This very body is the Self because this is what I have learned from the master Prajapati. Decorate it, feed it, maintain it well, let it be beautiful and gallant. This visible physical body is the Self." Thus, Virochana was fully satisfied on a simple indicative statement of Prajapati that what you see with your eyes is the Self.After all, what can you see with your eyes, except material substance? Whatever you have before you as things to be contacted by the sense organs are substances, matter; and even this body of your own is just matter. Materialism became the philosophy of the Asuras: All that you contact with the sense organs, including all that you see with your eyes, is the Self. Materialism proclaims that the visible is the real, the tangible is the real, the audible is the real.Virochana was satisfied; but Indra, on his way, began to doubt the significance of this instruction. How could this body be the Self? It can decay; it can die also one day. Will the Self also decay and die? This body is subject to diminution gradually by old age and it is going to be annihilated by death. If this body is the Self, this Self is of no utility to us. There is something wrong with this instruction. Indra went back to Prajapati. "Great master, I have a doubt."Prajapati said, "Why have you come? I have already initiated you.""No, I am feeling that this self, which you have suggested is perishable (what I see with my eyes), does not seem to be the real Self because that is material and destructible. Please instruct me properly.""Yes, you can go back. What you see in dream is the Self."Indra went back. On the way, again, he had doubts: "How could the thing that I see in dream be the Self, because it is as futile, as oscillating and transient, as what I see with my physical eyes in the waking state? Practically, there is no difference in the character of dream objects as compared with the waking ones."Again, Indra went to Prajapati and said, "I don't see much meaning in this dream self, because it is as transitory as what I see with my eyes in the waking condition.""What you experience in the state of deep sleep is the Self. Go," said Prajapati.Indra was satisfied. "Now I have better instruction. " But on the way, again, he had doubts. "What can I see in deep sleep? It is as if I am dead. It is darkness, annihilation, a kind of void, a nothingness. Is this the Self?" So he went back to Prajapati. "Sir, there is some doubt again.""What is your doubt?""This Self which you are identifying with the state of sleep is as though it is not there at all. It is a Self-annihilation actually, instead of Self-existence. Darkness and negation seems to be the nature of the state of deep sleep. How could that be the Self?""Now, sit here," said Prajapati. "I shall tell you what the Self is." After testing Indra three times, the real instruction came from the mouth of Prajapati: "Transcendent is the Self, which rises above the entanglements and involvements in body, mind and the causal condition of sleep. The Self is not what is involved in the body. It is also not what is experienced in dream. It is not what is happening in sleep. It is beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep."How can you contemplate this so-called transcendency which is not to be associated with anything that we are capable of experiencing in this world? What is it that you are seeing? This body, this bundle of relations connected with this body, and the dream and the sleep. We pass through three states of consciousness every day. These three states are waking, dreaming and sleep. We do not have any other experience in this world. Nobody has seen what is beyond waking, dreaming and sleep. Now, if Prajapati, the Creator, is to tell us that the Self is none of these, what else is it?This kind of question arose in the minds of six great learned people as we have it recorded in the Chandogya Upanishad. What is the Atman? If the realisation of it is the greatest of blessings which one can think of at any time, how are we to attain it? How is it to be contemplated or meditated upon?I suggested to you that these great men went to the king of the country, Ashvapati Kaikeya, and requested him to initiate them into the true nature of the Self. The king queried each one of them, "What are you already doing? What is the practice that you are carrying on? What is your notion of the Atman? Let me first of all hear what you know already. Then let me see if I can tell you something more." Each one of them started saying what he knew."I consider this entire earth as the Self," one of them said. "The whole physicality that I can think of is the Self.""This is what you think is the Self?" said the king. "This is as if it is the footstool of the Cosmic Being. As the entire physical earth is a part of the whole of creation, you are considering a part as the whole. The Self is the wholeness of existence, and are you contemplating a section of the wholeness as the entirety? It is good that you came to me in due time for rectifying your mistake. If you had not come to me, your legs would have gone out on account of an erroneous contemplation on the footstool of the Atman."Then, the other people also had their own say. One said, "I contemplate the sun." Another said, "I contemplate the whole sky or entire space as the Atman." And varieties of such objective considerations of them were placed before the king as their own practices and processes of meditation.The king, who was a master of the spiritual wisdom known as Vaishvanara Vidya, said, Every one of your statements is involved in a mistake. Whether you meditate on the earth, or the sun, or the space, or the ocean, or light - whatever it is, this cannot be regarded as a real concept of the Atman, because you are making two basic mistakes in your notion of the Atman. Whatever be the object which you are identifying with the Atman, the procedure that you are adopting itself is an erroneous one. What is the error?"There is a twofold error. Firstly, you are thinking that the Atman is outside you. When you say it is the earth, it is the sky, it is the sun, it is the water, it is the ocean, it is the light, you are considering the Atman as something outside you. This is the first mistake."The second error is that you are thinking that the Atman is in some place, and not in all places. Whether it is the ocean or the sun or whatever it is, they are locations spatially and durationally and, therefore, they cannot be regarded as a correct conception of the Self."We have noticed in our considerations that the Self is an inwardness of experience and it is not to be associated or identified with anything that is outside. The outside things also have their own selves. This is, of course, to be granted and conceded. All people who are outwardly visible to the eyes, all things which are externally capable of contact with the sense organs, no doubt appear to be outside oneself. I am seeing you all seated in front of me and everyone is outside me as far as my perception goes, but each one of you has the Atman inside, the Self.This Self, which is the indwelling principle in each and every person and each and every thing, is not cognisable either through the mind or through the sense organs because of the fact of its being the Self and not the seen thing. It is the seer, the knower, the cogniser, the perceiver, the experiencer. It is not what is seen or perceived or experienced, notwithstanding the fact that whatever is perceived or seen also has a self. How will you reconcile these two - aspects of your awareness of things in the world?On the one hand, you appear to be sitting in front of me as external objects. On the other hand, it is to be appreciated fully that the Atman within me is also present in you. So, the knowledge of the Atman would not be equivalent to the perception of anything through the sense organs, but another kind of intuitive grasp, so to say,an insight into the Self-hood of the so-called external perceptions (persons, things, etc.) through a medium of contact which is other than sensory media. You have to adopt some means of the cognition of the Atman. What is the means that you are adopting in the perception of things in the world? Eyes, ears, etc. - but these are inadequate for the purpose.Something which is dissimilar in nature to the Atman cannot become a suitable medium for the experience of the contact of the Atman. Whatever is similar in nature to the Atman alone can see, experience or contact the Atman. Is there anything in us which is similar to the Atman? There is obviously nothing similar to the Atman. The Atman alone is similar to the Atman.

My Life is a struggle. An urge may lead to a big surge. The prevailing maladies generated in social-political-economical crisis with farmers in Nation which I have visualized after the sudden departure of my father at the age of 19 years in 1971, has provided me an opportunity to know the truth behind the surface. The real tragedy is to lift up the voice amongst the living being and meet with no response, neither approval, nor opposition from the public. They are stranded in a boundless desert completely at loss. An Iron cage having no window and the inmates living inside are in a sound sleep. The cage is virtually indestructible. By raising a shout, a few lighter sleeper may wake to feel the agony of death. Whether by raising voice, we are doing them a good turn ?.

Visualizing the limitation, the writer of the poem joined legal profession in 1974 as Advocate and started practicing at Allahabad High Court, the biggest High Court of world. The writer has one brother, now a Doctor, a prominent Orthopedic Surgeon at Agra and a sister being left after the sad demise of father. The writer has written about 100 Poems and more than 100 articles published in Newspapers. He has scientific analysis with legal acumenship being the graduate in Science and Law. He commands a respect from Court and his colleagues at High Court Allahabad at present. The hobby to become a writer, has now been accomplished. The recognition by selecting his Poem in the semi finalist selection in International Open Poetry Contest. “The Silence Within” proposed to be published in The International Library of Poetry is now a much awaited book for him. This is a valued personal gift to him and to his wife, Rekha and children namely Deepika and Anuj.

There is an iron cage, not having any ventilation and people are living in the state of suffocation, virtually on the verge of their death point. There is a complete apathy of the custodian of the power towards their welfare and in our country "We, the people " who are regarded to be the sovereign of the nation are living a life full of abrogation and subjugation. I seldom consider that whether it is worthwhile to shout a voice and thereby invite some lighter sleeper to suffer the agony of the death and this purpose achieved through my writing may serve some purpose. Since the daylight shallow the darkness, I have written articles to take the intellectual from apathetically approach towards rectification of prevailing maladies as to wake up. I am sending herewith my some articles for being displayed by your good self.

Today is one of the most beautiful constellations and beautiful days in the year. Every day is beautiful but today is special. Today Lord Shiva is celebrated, adored and worshipped throughout the whole world, where millions upon millions meditate upon him and repeat his name. Today is Shivaratri, the night of Lord Shiva! In every Shiva temple in the world they will perform abhisheka throughout the night--millions of people are reciting Lord Shiva's name, fasting all day and in the morning they shall break their fast. Why fast? When you fast, your energy is balanced and it is also a kind of austerity, purification of consciousness, with control over the senses to balance your intellect and emotions. More spiritual energy develops in your heart and consciousness when you fast. Each atom in our body and on this planet vibrates today with the energy of Lord Shiva. Who is Shiva? Shiva is known as Svayambhu. No one created him, he manifested himself. He was the first creative consciousness in Anant Brahmand, the endless universe. This endless universe we compare with the body of the mother whom we call the Cosmic Mother, and within her that cosmic consciousness resides--it is not dormant, it is residing--like an embryo in the body of the human mother. Within this endless universe the resonance awakes--Nada--the sound. That sound is known as OM and that sound still resonates in the entire universe, not only on our planet. Each blood cell still resonates immensely with this manifestation of Lord Shiva. Awakening of the cosmic consciousness is the manifestation of Shiva--I am one and now I will multiply. Out of his consciousness, thousands of sun systems, stars and planets, visible and invisible elements are created. Shiva was, is and will be. Shiva means consciousness, pure and crystal clear. Shiva means the beauty and Shiva means the Truth. Shiva means the liberator. Shiva means moksha. First is Shiva, the entire universe is a manifestation of his form, represented in the Shiva Lingam. Shiva is considered one of the most merciful Gods, with a little prayer he will be pleased and will fulfill all wishes.

There has to be darkness before the dawn; the more prolonged the darkness, more brilliant will be the dawn," said Shri P. Parameswaran, the All-India President of Vivekananda Kendra, Kanyakumari. He was addressing an assembly of eminent intellectuals of the city on the occasion of Grihapravesham festival (dedication) of Vivekananda Kendra International at Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, on the subject, "The Task Before Us" at a grand function on March 20, 2008. In an exclusive interview to Hinduism Today, Shri P. Parameswaran said, "Vivekananda Kendra International, New Delhi is our third step. First was Vivekananda Rock Memorial at Kanyakumari and second was Vivekananda Kendra movement which works on a national level. What we propose this center to be is that this should become a center for dialogue with various cultures, religions and civilizations all over the world. So that we can bring about a harmony of civilizations and harmony of cultures and religions. Now people speak of clash of civilizations but that is their point of view. But the Hindu concept is that there should be harmony among the cultures and not conflict. This is what Swami Vivekananda said at Chicago Parliament of Religions also." He went on to state, "This is the global mission we have. So far it has been national. Eknath Ranade ji himself wanted that Vivekananda Movement should become an international movement. Swami Vivekananda was one of the earliest spokesperson of Sanatana Dharma." According to Shri Parmeswaran, "It is only Hinduism that can promote harmony of religions. Hinduism alone says that there can be various approaches. 'Ekam sat vipra bahuda vadanti.' No other religion says this. Only when this message of Hinduism goes out our objective will be achieved. Basically we will be propagating Hinduism only. We want to create a forum at an international level so that the Hindu thought can be spread all over the world. Promotion of Hinduism is our objective." He further said, "As a matter of fact, funds have not been a very great problem for us. We believe that every good cause will be supported by the society. When we wanted to set up the memorial, we had no funds with us. Shri Eknath Ranade came and said that this should be a people's memorial. It is not for individuals with a lot of money. It is not their generosity that should make it possible. It is the generosity of the people that should make it possible. So the one rupee coupons were printed at a large scale and were distributed at schools and colleges everywhere. Through those coupons in the late sixties a sum of US$213,000 was collected." Sri Parameswaran concluded by saying, "So far we have not had any of our projects suffer due to want of money. If the cause is correct and right type of people are there, then the money comes. There is a beautiful sentence which Swami Vivekananda said- 'Money and everything I want must come because they are my slaves and I am not their slave.' " Housed in a 32,000 square feet area in the prestigious diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri, built at an estimated cost of US$2.5 million, Vivekananda Kendra International will continue the work that Swami Vivekananda initiated at the Parliament of the World's Religions, 1893, at Chicago in the genre of Inter-Civilizational Dialogue. The two blocks of five-storied buildings at the center will have facilities like seminar halls, a meditation hall, an exhibition hall, a library and an auditorium. Earlier in the day, elaborate house warming Poojas were conducted in the premises led by Shri Khandeshwar of Saraswat tradition.
