535 How to buy a share of Rs. 10, for Rs. 96,010? १० रू. के षेर को ९६०१० रू. को खरीदने के उपाय పది రూపాయల షేర్ ను రూ.96010 కొనటం ఎలా


Question: How to buy a share of Rs. 10 , cheaply for Rs. 96,010/-?
Ans: I do not know. We have to ask Ms. Vasundahra Raje, CM of Rajasthan.

World language English in Roman script: प्रपंच भाषा अंग्रेजी, रोमन स्क्रिप्ट में। ప్రపంచ భాష ఇంగ్లీషు రోమన్ స్క్రిప్టులో.

People of erstwhile United Andhra Pradesh, and globally Telugu speaking people should not think that their own leaders alone are intelligent, and leaders of other States and other countries of the world are muffs.

This impression they may have, from the recent memories of former Chief Minister of United A.P., late Shri Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy mobilising nearly a trillion Rupees through quid pro quo methods. The modus operandi of this great technique was asking those people seeking Andhra Pradesh State Government lands and permissions, to purchase shares in Companies of kith and kin, paying sky-high premia. This great corruption scam is sub-judice, and the son of Late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy is on bail. His son is at present the Opposition leader of the Residual Andhra Pradesh. Telugu people wanted to prove what Justice Markandeya Katju said, when he classified 90% of Indians are fools. Otherwise, how could they elect Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, Mr. Y.s. Jaganmohan Reddy, Mr. K. Chandrasekhara Rao as their leaders?

There is no need for Telugu speaking people of the Unsplit Andhra Pradesh and the global Telugu speakers to undergo disquietitude that the leaders of their own State are corrupt and the leaders of other countries, and leaders of other states in India are crystal clean.

According to recent disclosures made by Mr. Lalit Modi, as per the reports appearing in media, he has invested Rs. 110 million in a Company, in Niyant Heritage Hotels, owned by Mr. Dushyant Singh, a B.J.P. M.P., and son of Ms. Vasundhara Raje, Chief Minister of Rajasthan.

Rs. 10 share, at a premium of Rs. 96,000! Mr. Lalit Modi is reported to have bought each share of Rs. 10, at a premium of Rs. 96,000/-.

Could we ever make this type of great gift to our mother? మనం మన తల్లి దండ్రులకు ఇలాటి బహుమతులను ఎప్పుడైనా ఇవ్వగలిగామా, లేక భవిష్యత్ లో ఇవ్వ గలమా.

Mr. Dushyant Singh and his wife is said to have gifted 1640 shares each (total 3280 shares) to his mother (i.e. Ms. Vasundhara Raje, the CM of Rajasthan). What will be the value of these gifted shares at the above premium of Rs. 96,000/- per share? 96,000 x 3280 = Rs. 314.88 million , or Rs. 31,48,80,000/-.

We already know the concessions made by the former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, and Mr. Veerbhadra Singh, the former CM of Himachal Pradesh, to Mr. Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Ms. Sonia Gandhi. We can also recall the hardships of the honest I.A.S. Officer, Mr. Ashok Khemka, who brought out some of these shady deals, and the fate of his being dumped to a State of Caretaker of Museums in Hariyana.

There are 29 States in India. There are 29 Chief Ministers. Our Prime Ministers, Chief Minister, and Ministers are not novices, who do not know quid pro quo techniques. Even if they are novices, they do not lack in learning skills.

What will be the aggregate amounts of hidden quid pro quo in purchase of weapons, aircraft, crude oil, edible oils at All India level? What will be the total quantum of quid pro quo 's undertaken by all the 29 Chief Ministers of India with infinite number of Lalit Modis? I can't calculate. We need a Super Computer, with thousands of data-processors.

Now, how many Lalit Modis are there within India and outside India? None of them have been made fugitives. This fate has befallen, why only to Lalit Modi? Should we say that it is a quirk of fate? Definitely not!

These are only the vagaries of Capitalism. Just as the vagaries of monsoons and earthquakes cannot really be predicted with mathematical exactitude, we cannot predict the vagaries of behaviors of business rivalries and conspiracies, retributions, which become more pronounced when accompanied by political intrigues.

Question: Won't these problems exist in Communism/Marxism/Total Socialism, which you are trying to spread?

Ans. as per the perception of ybrao a donkey: These problems may not arise within India. Reason: There will be no Companies and there will be no shares. However, Indian bureaucrats and politicians storing their corrupt moneys in secret accounts abroad will continue. But that money, they will not be able to use in India, because in India, Marxism will definitely remove money, currency and their purchasing powers. There will be nothing which money can buy in a truly Socialist India.

However, Indian bureaucrats and politicians can frequently visit abroad, and enjoy the power of spending their ill-gotten money stashed abroad. (Example of this lavish Indian spending abroad, you can see in our blog post No. Click to go post No.507).

We can solve this problem by going for World Total Socialism, True-World Marxism, True-World-Communism (Not the China brand). For global problems, we need global solutions, probably. For this reason only, Workers of All countries have to unite, some day or other! Right now, it is an empty slogan, because the world is floating on a wave of reckless Capitalism.

Today's Telugu poetry
Everybody knows that it will be necessary to lobby and bribe, even for Heads of States of countries to get an invite from White House, to meet the U.S. President. It is an American Custom. I do not have evidence, but I believe that in India also to meet President, PM, important Central Ministers, Congress President, some lobbying and probably some bribing may become necessary.

I do not wish to say wish to say that everybody who gets an appointment to meet Indian Prez/PM/Home Minister/Congress Prez goes through lobbies and bribing, but, definitely, seeing them other than in election rallies appears to be more difficult than having a darSan of Lord Venkateswara, Tirumala.

Example: Pl. see my blog post No. 491 Click to go to 491, where you can see the news about film actor Mr. Mohan Babu going to invite India's PM to invite him for son's marriage, and Mr. Mohan Babu's daughter managing a selfie with PM.

It also seems to be a historical Indian custom: Gate keepers had to be bribed to enter kings' courts and sultans' darbars. Of course, there were exceptions. Here is one verse which shows the perturbation in the mind of an agitated visitor to a city. Identify the city, visitor, and the king.
"...నెబ్భంగి దర్శింపఁగలను తద్ద్వారపాలు రెక్కడి విప్రుండ విం దేలవచ్చెద వని యడ్డపెట్టిరే నపుడు వారి కేమైనఁ పరిదానఁ మిచ్చి చొచ్చెద నన్న నూహింప నర్థశూన్యుండ నేను ..."

"Above quote in Latin Script:...Ebbhangi darSimpagalanu tat dvArapAlu
rekkaDi viprunDav indEla vaccedav ani aDDa peTTirEni apuDu vAri

English Gist: "...How can I see (him)? If those gate-keepers ask me wherefrom have I come, and why did I come, and stop me, then, what gift can I give them and enter in? To anticipate this (and overcome the problem), I am a person without money. ..."

534 Central Government and the Judiciary should have their own FULL-FLEDGED Police Departments. केंद्र सरकार और न्याय पालिका को अलग स्वतंत्र पुलीस व्यवस्था होना चाहिए। కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వానికీ, న్యాయ స్థానాలకు, ప్రత్యేక పోలీసు వ్యవస్థ అవసరం.



World language English in Roman script: प्रपंच भाषा अंग्रेजी, रोमन स्क्रिप्ट में। ప్రపంచ భాష ఇంగ్లీషు రోమన్ స్క్రిప్టులో.

While the Central Government takes onto its head, goals, objects and tasks which are not necessary as an apex Administrative Organisation, it skips the essentials without accepting authority and responsibility, in case of its essential duties, on the ground that those duties fall under "States' subjects" of the Constitution, and that it should be the duty of the States to discharge their duties as enshrined in our Constitution.

We shall take up one example of Centre taking up non-essential items: The recent jamborees and hullabaloos that have taken place in the name of Yoga, and the International Yoga Day.

UNO has obliged to India's request to declare an International Yoga Day, because UNO was starving for funds, and it expected India to come to its rescue. A demand for raising India's subscription to UNO might have already been put up by UNO to India, or in the near future, they will put up. Besides, billions of Rupees have been spent by India for organising the half-hour or one hour yoga-show at every place where the GOI could exercise its influence. This is apart from the Chartered flights, expenses on fuel and vehicles for movement of VIP convoys, carpets and tarpaulins, etc.

Now, we shall take up one example of Central Govt. (and probably the Judiciary) neglecting their essential functions.

There is a need to check the dictatorial tendencies of KCR & Co dynasty with his nephew, son in the Cabinet, and his daughter an MP (said to be keen on joining Central Cabinet). Telangana Congress and BJP MLAs, MLCs, and MPs have to do it, but they are afraid of the abusive words of KCR & Co. If T Congress and BJP try to point out any errors of his, KCR & Co. will immediately launch attacks of abuse against T leaders.

KCR is instigating people of Telangana against the leaders of their own Region, as if they were enemies of Telangana. KCR&Co's main strength is their instigating skills. This animosity of T people against people of Residual A.P. is more pronounced and prominent in Warangal , Medak, Karimnagar, NIzamabad, Adilabad Districts, as they do not have any border with RAP. People of Mahaboobnagar, Nalgonda, Khammam Districts have blood and marital relations with people in Residual A.P. Enemity is being created by the A-K-N-W-M District people and, sadly, the people of Mahaboobnagar, Nalgonda, and Khammam are being misled.

Central Government: CBI, is today, not a full-fledged organisation. It does not have a proper law for its own constitution and functioning, except some ad hoc instructions. Suppose, if States refuse to implement the instructions of the Central Government, the Union Home Ministry has to break its own head, with no help forthcoming from their political bosses, unless the bosses themselves considered that they were under threat.

The weakness of the Central Government to enforce Rule of Law, should not be swept under-to the Carpet of the freedom of States and Federalism. Federalism will work, only if States function as per law, and without MALICE, political or otherwise. Fortunately, so far, States have not made major revolts. This may be for various reasons, such as earlier the Coalitions at Centre were dependent on the support from the Regional Sardars, and that was forthcoming amply provided they were allowed to rule their Sultanates with all dictatorial powers.

Only anti-incumbancy upheavals during the five year elections were changing the position. Example: In Tamil Nadu, whether Karuna Nidhi's DMK or Jayalalitaa's AIDMK rule their Sultanates in turns. Because Tamil Nadu was on the Southern-most tip of India, there were not major problems creating a situation for GOI to intervene. Though there were River water disputes between Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, which used to reach their 'critical stages', Tamil Nadu was a downstream State for waters, and it could not do anything if Karnataka or Kerala refused to release water. Some directions of High Courts and Supreme Court about release of water to Tamil Nadu could not be enforced against Karnataka or Kerala.

Same is the case with West Bengal. Central Government may land itself into situations where it has no Central Apparatus, to enforce its own orders or the orders of the Supreme Court, on the West Bengal Government.

Of course, we have a problem of the Ruling Party in Centre using its clout against Opposition Parties' ruled States, and create problems for the opposition ruled States. Eg. Problems created for Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi through Delhi's Lieutenant Governor.

To adjudicate inter-State disputes, and the disputes between the Centre-and-the-States, Judiciary should be sufficiently empowered, not only to send notices, hear to arguments, issue decrees, but also to enforce the court orders, against all the parties. In other words, Judiciary should also have its own Police to enforce its decrees, at all levels i.e. Supreme Court, High Court, Trial Courts.


KCR SHOULD BE HAPPY TO GET RELIEVED OF THE BURDEN OF LAW & ORDER IN HYDERABAD, instead why he is unhappy? He seems to be unhappy because he may to explain to Governor, every action of the TRS Government and seek Guv's. consent. Then, there is a danger of his evil intents coming out.
What I write here is not to be construed as a defence of the nefarious actions of Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu and his TDP Ministers.

KCR & Co. has threatened that KCR will undertake a fast in Delhi, to resist implemention of Sec. 8, Andhra Pradesh Bifurcation Act. Why? Doesn't he have any confidence on Governor? Is he afraid that, if he is indulging in corruption, illegal or unlawful activities, Governor will apply brakes to such corrupt, illegal, unlawful activities of TRS? Everybody knows that all is not well in allotment of lands to industrialists in Telangana. Mr. KTR is also accused of participating in land settlements. Telangana ACB has never bothered to look into them. Why singularly take up only one case of Cash for Vote Scam? Besides, there are accusations that Mr. Stephenson paid Rs. 12 million to get nominated as MLC. It is also said that KCR received Rs. 80 lacs, and the TRS intermediaries Rs. 40 lacs. It is alleged that Mr. Stephenson had to incur debts for paying this bribe, and that he initially tried to reimburse himself of his expenses, by selling his vote. It is said that the Gunman of Mr. Stephenson, brought it to the notice of the Telangana Government, when its ACB was said to have moved to bring him as a Prosecution Witness in the Cash for Vote Scam.

Suppose, let us visualise a situation, where Stephenson could get his MLC nomination without spending a single Rupee, probably he might not have fixed such a high price of Rs. 50 million and started with an advance of Rs. 5 million. He might have, at the most asked for Rs. 500,000/-.

MLAs, MLCs and MPs trying to get back their election expenditure through selling their votes for Councils, Rajya Sabha, etc. and if the amount so mobilised was inadequate, they also work as power-brokers to get things done in Government , on behalf of Corporate businesses and industries.

Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu might have committed some criminal offense in the Cash for Vote Scam. But then, there are enough reasons to suspect that TRS Government has also done some dirty work, in inviting Mr. Talasani Srinivasa Yadav, Mr. Tummala Nageswara Rao, Mr. Kadiyam Srihari into Cabinet. Whether there was a quid-pro-quo or not, Telangana ACB ought to have investigated, but it has not done it. Mr. KCR and his Government may be clean in inviting them and giving them Cabinet Posts. But KCR & Co. cannot be judges to decide on their own offenses. That investigation, and establishing the innocence of KCR & Co. is to be done either by a Central Govt. Agency or a Judicial Agency. If Mr. KCR is clean, he should have asked for a CBI investigation covering all the conversions (political) that have taken place in Telangana.

Truth or falsehood of all these allegations can be ascertained only if Central Government or Judiciary order an independent investigation. If necessary, Lie Detector Tests may have to be conducted on KCR (includes his dynasty proxies KTR, Harish Rao and Kavita), Chandra Babu Naidu (including his dynasty proxies Lokesh, Balakrishna), Stephenson, Mattaiah, Revanth Reddy, Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Tummala Nageswara Rao, Kadiyam Srihari, Governor himself (for blindly appointing Stephenson as nominated MLC), concerned bureaucrats in the Telangana Government who recommended Stephenson's name.

Desirability or otherwise of enforcement of Sec. 8 of the Andhra Pradesh Bifurcation Act 2014, is only a tip of the ice-berg. This Section 8 had a limited geographical purpose of ensuring that there is impartiality of Police, in HYDERABAD CITY ONLY. Then, it has a time limit of just ten years, i.e. till such a time the Residual Andhra Pradesh shifts it Capital to some place in RAP. These two limitations should have made KCR & Company very happy, because it relieves them of their burden of administration of Law & Order in Hyderabad, at least for ten years, so that they can concentrate on development of Hyderabad and Telangana. KCR & Co. should have requested for creation and deployment of Central Government Police, and take over the expenditure and responsibility of Law and Order in Hyderabad.

At present, State Police Stations and State Police Officials have a monopoly on all cases and crimes in the State. Unless a bribe is paid nothing really moves. If Police drag on in registering FIRs, the hapless victims have no place to go. Though, theoretically, victims can file a private case in Magistrate Courts seeking a direction to the Police, and sometimes it works, very often it does not work, because people have to pay push-money, chase-money everywhere.

There should be somebody in competition with the State Police to take up the FIRs. If there is a Central Police, and if there are Central Police Stations everywhere, aggrieved persons can lodge their FIRs with either of the two or even with both. This is not waste of resources. Monopolies never really help, whether in the arena of markets or in the area of Policing.

If there are going to be disputes between the State Police and Central Police, Judiciary can adjudicate and pass appropriate orders against both, in such a way that justice is done to the victims.

This is not going to lead to waste of resources, or multiple agencies. India is a highly populated country. There are also no signs of its being actively controlled. Establishing additional Police Organisations will only bridge the continuously neglected shortfalls.

It is said that Union Water Minister Ms. Uma Bharati has promised to deploy Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to enforce law and order in the administration of gates of Irrigation Projects. She should have done it long back. Let us hope that it will not be an empty promise. If there is a Central Police, and Central Police Stations which specialise in examining law and administering law (not just using fire-arms and lathis), we can expect them to act lawfully.

CONCLUSIONS:

1. Need for Constitutional Amendment to make Law & Order a Concurrent Subject.

2. Need to establish full-fledged Central Police, Central Police Stations to compete with State Police Stations.

3. Authority to Central Police Stations to accept FIRS, investigate, file charge sheets, prosecute, a la the State Police.

4. Additional Police to Judiciary, to enforce Judicial Orders and Decrees.

I have sat before my laptop, intending to write Part 2 of my five part series on sand dunes in rivers (pulinams पुलिन పులినములు). But a different trigger pushed me to write about gold (aurum, कांचन, सोना, స్వర్ణం, బంగారం, పసిడి ). The above linked photo relates to photo of Dr. K. Rosaiah, Governor of Tamil Nadu, being decorated with a gold bracelet, in Nellore, Residual Andhra Pradesh, India, by A.P. Gold, Silver, and Diamond Merchants Association Chief Organiser Shantilal Jain, and President K. Vijaya Kumar, at the inaugural function of their association.

ybrao-a-donkey's humble view वैबीराव गधे के विनम्र राय వైబీరావు గాడిద వినమ్ర వ్యాఖ్య

Originally, Jainism was supposed to be a lifestyle (I do not call Indian Sects as religions. They are not religions, in the style of the alien religions of West Asia and Europe, which, today, are dominating the world with their wealth, tactics of expansion and proseylitization. Hindu Sects which worship different Gods and God persons are just lifestyles. They are not organised religions having the beliefs, practices, rigid hierarchial authority structures). Jainism used to be a philosophy of complete renunciation from the worldly affairs, adopting an ascetic lifestyles, whether they continued within the frames of family life or monkhood. Strangely, historical events seem to have forced to them to adopt occupations involving money lending at market ( usurious ? ) rates of interest , and affiliated businesses of accepting pawns of gold, trading in gold, silver, diamonds, and precious stones. Anyway, we have got to live with it.

Other merchant castes, whatever name they are called by, such as Vysya, SrESHThi, Setty, kOmaTi, Gaura, Gupta, et al, have also traditionally engaged in trade of gold, silver, diamonds and precious stones.

I shall leave aside Arab, Persian, European gold and diamond merchants, who sold gold, silver and diamonds to Indian Rajas (Barons), kings and emperors. As a part of their marketing and selling strategies and techniques, they used to gift gold, silver and diamonds to Indian barons, kings and emperors. As corollaries and offshoots, they expected to receive and actually received royal favors and protections. Jahangir, Shajahan, Srikrishna Deva Rayalu, Achyuta Rayalu, Venkatapati Rayalu, Shivaji, Sambhaji, et al received such gifts and reciprocated.

Post 1947, in Independent India, politicians, top bureaucrats, Governors, have adorned the crowns of Indian barons, kings and emperors. Naturally for the Gold, Silver, Diamond Merchants, the turn has come for them to present their GSDs to the modern barons, kings, emperors i.e. bureaucrats, Governors, and politicians.

Now, can we say that, Mr. Rosaiah, Tamil Nadu Governor, receiving the gold bracelet from the GSD Merchants Assn of Residual AP, is acontinuing the custom of receiving GSDs from GSD traders and extending royal favors in quid pro quo reciprocation to them . What favors and protections our Governors can overtly or covertly extend to GSD Merchants? That Tamil Nadu Governor belonged to the same social class (caste?), to which majority of GSD merchants belong to, i.e. traditional trader Community, whether it will be material or immaterial?

Why did the GSD traders chose Tamil Nadu Governor for presenting a gold bracelet? Why didn't they chose Mr. Narasimhan, the Governor of Residual Andhra Pradesh to inaugurate their association at Nellore, which happens to be very near to Tirumala-Tirupati, regularly visited by His Highness the Governor of RAP and Telangana?

Swami Vivekananda- Ramakrishna Parama Hamsa (RKPH) सवामी विवेकानंद, Gold कांचन, కాంచనం , silver, diamonds (GSD) and women (कामिनी కాంతలు).

An impression was created that Ramakrishna Parama Hamsa,( guru of Swami Vivekananda) suffered from touch-allergy of gold. We can see a anecdotal story in this regard: A devotee of Shri RKPH wanted to test the abhorrence of Late RKPH. The devotee kept some gold under the pillows and couch on which RKPH used to sleep. Without knowing that there was gold underneath his pillows and couch, Late RKPH lied down on the bed and was immediately shocked by the touch (like an electric shock). Then that devotee came forward, lifted the couch and the pillows to show the hidden gold. All the devotees present there were greatly surprised by the renunciation of Shri RKPH.

About renunciation of gold and women (कामिनी कांचन, కాంతా కాంచనాలు), by Swami Vivekananda. himself

Swami Vivekananda, during his tour of Europe, met Prof. Deussen in Germany.


SV was consuming spirits without hesitation.


Prof. Deussen was greatly surprised because he didn't expect Indian monks to be liquor users. He expected strict abstinence and teetotallism from them.
When Prof. Deussen expressed his surprise, Swami Vivekananda clarified to him that his oath of restraint to his Guru RKPH was only against gold and women. हमारे गुरू से हमारे वादा सिर्फ कामिनी कांचन के लिये. अन्य विषयों पर नहीं. మా గురువుకి మేము చేసిన వాగ్దానం కేవలం కామినీ కాంచనాల విషయంలోనే. అన్య విషయాలలో కాదు.

Soon after that, Swami Vivekananda returned to India, sea route, via Sri Lanka.

NO HESITATION TO RECEIVE HUGE GOLD CASKET FROM RAJA OF RAMNATHAPURAM
When he reached the Southern-most tip of Madras State, he was received and felicitated by the king of Ramnathpuram. The king presented Swami Vivekananda, a HUGE SOLID gold casket. Swami Vivekananda forgot about his pledge to his Guru RKPH about keeping distance from gold. He readily accepted the gold casket.

For proof, we shall see this PARA from his letter.

Swami Vivekananda wrote to Ms. Mary Hale from Ramnad, vide his letter dated 30th Jan. 1897:
"... The Raja of Ramnad has presented his address to "His most Holiness" in a huge casket of solid gold beautifully worked ...".


This "His most Holiness" Swami Vivekananda referred to was himself.

Monks are Holinesses. Divine favors are expected from them direct, or indirectly as proxy for them, from Gods. Governors are Highnesses. Favors of Governance are expected from them.

Didn't Karl Marx say, that all human relationships are financial, monetary and pecuniary?



Question प्रश्न ప్రశ్న : Instead of blaming and finding fault with Highnesses (Presidents, PMs, Governors, CMs) and Holinesses (Monks and Saints), why don't you write something about yourself? Why don't you confirm that your ass (गुद, గుదము) clean is clean always?

Answer जवाब జవాబు As already clarified, writing autobiographical anecdotes may result in self-praise and criticism of others (आत्म स्तुति और पर निंदा, ఆత్మ స్తుతి మరియు పరనింద). Sometimes, in the process, we may hurt the feelings of our employers, erstwhile job-colleagues, friends and acquaintances. This may take place iadvertantly, or because truth may hurt persons. Getting hurt by truth is a human trait. For this reason only, I write in a sort of semi- incognito.

Anyway, here is an autobiographical anecdote. I am not disclosing any names, to safeguard privacy of others.

When I was undergoing training as a Bank Officer in a Rayala Seema town, at the end of my tenure in that town, my Bank Manager invited me to a private one-to-one dinner at his residence. Just before I was to throw into my mouth, the first cud of my rice bolus of which I was very fond of, he said: "Do you know, why did I call you for a dinner? Do you think that you are a special and very efficient person? No, not."

I paused, indecisive to reply in what manner, because it was a most unexpected question from my boss.

He said: "Remember, you are going to work in this Bank in different capacities. Whenever somebody calls you for a dinner, do not forget that he would come next day to the Bank with a request for a favour. He may ask you for a draft without charging commission, or to release a Lorry Receipt without collecting the bill amount. ...".

In those days, Bank Managers had authority and discretion, to waive commission keeping in view the future businesses which can be expected from the applicant. This authority was withdrawn later. By giving his advice, my boss opened my eyes.

Whether he followed his advice or not, I followed my boss's advice meticulously in my career. Knowing my nature, no customer invited me for dinner. Nor, did I give any dinners/lunches/parties to any Government Official/Corporate customer, for getting favours to Bank from them.

One or two drink parties which I attended later, with my subsequent seniors and bosses, also ended up to be rather unpleasant affairs for me, and an opportunity for party-hosts to heckle at me , while my seniors and bosses enjoyed. Later, knowing that I shall not be useful to them, my seniors and bosses stopped taking me with them, to parties hosted by customers, or given by Bank Managers to Collectors, etc.

A rule in our Bank stipulated that Officers should not accept any gifts from customers, other than flowers and fruits, small articles of no / very low monetary value. The idea was to discourage corruption. In those days, corruption in Govt. Banks in India, used to be very low (except in Loan Departments), reasons not important here. Though there was no corruption, unintentional delays used to be common, and customers used to be made to run from pillar to posts. Even now, the same is the situation, according to my perception, as a retired Officer and as an outsider.

Once, as a part of my habit, I handled a problem of a customer as soon as it came up, applying a flexible mind to rules and did his work very fast, unasked by him or anybody, as against the normal Public Sector Banks and Government Offices practice of sending a non-routine, non-monotonous-daily-problem, through a tunnel of ABCD technique. A = Avoid, B = Pass on the Buck, C = Confuse, D = Delay. Pushing the problem upward or downward, or sidewards or confusing the public, or delaying was common. Govt. employees and PSB employees in India are expected to deposit their brains in a rack in their home, before attending their offices, come to Office, blindly follow the dictates of the bosses, go back in the evening, take out the brain from the almyrah and insert it, into his-her skull.

Surprised at the speed and unasked work done by me and my assistant, the son of that aged customer visited our Bank and unnecessarily-profusely thanked me. Then it came out, that he happened to be a Police Head Constable. He said: "...In our Department, work will not move, on its own, without follow up. You have to follow up the matter every day from desk to desk. I have come here thinking that I have to revolve around your Section at least for two months. ..."

He asked for my home address and wanted to see me at my home. Normally, I did not meet customers at home, before doing their work or after doing their work, because such need never arose for me. As he was persistent, I gave my card. Next Sunday, he turned up at my home and offered me Rs. 500/-, saying that he was giving it out of his pleasure. I returned the money saying that it was not a custom in our bank. I told him jocularly (in a lighter vein) that our Bank has a rule that we should not accept anything other than flowers and fruits, and if he was so particular that he should gift something to me, he might give me one or two mangoes.

The Police Head Constable went out and returned with a cardboard box of about a dozen or two dozen mangoes. I was expecting him to give one or two mangoes at a later date. But in fifteen minutes, he brought a box of mangoes.

There was nobody in my house to eat so many mangoes. I was worried, what to do with them.

That box of mangoes, if they were gifted when I was aged 16, in dire poverty and starvation in 1965-66-67, with four younger brothers to share and fighting for one small mango, it would have immensely delighted me. But, not Now in 2000, with acidity, mangoes are unwelcome.

In spite of my best efforts, I could not force the Policeman to take back his box of mangoes. Leaving the mangoes to my fate, he left.

Shortly, came a friend of mine, as a part of a friendly drop-in. Seeing the mangoes box, he asked me at what price and where I bought/brought the mangoes. To him, I narrated the whole story of gifting by the policman.

Hearing me, my friend could not restrain himself from laughing and laughing, as if he was taking part in a World Laughter Day. Finally, he said: "Don't eat these mangoes. Don't believe that this policeman who gifted you these mangoes, bought them, paying from his pocket. Nay. They get these mangoes FREE or at a throw-away price from the foot-path sellers or fruit-cart-vendors , as a part of police mamool, and threatening them with cases for obstructing traffic, if they refuse to yield. If you eat these sinful mangoes, you will become a partner in his guilt.

This story is only 40% complete. I am leaving it, as I am apprehensive that it may result in self-praise.

IMPORTANT NOTE AND CLARIFICATION

This criticism made by me against the Banks, Govt. Offices, Police Dept., Police Head Constable, Governor of Tamil Nadu, Gold Silver Diamond Merchants Association are not to be viewed as any malicious vitriolic fault finding against them. After all, they are all, including me, slaves of this monstrous Capitalist System. Unless, it is replaced by Enlightened Democratic Total Socialism, radical changes cannot be brought out. That Total Socialism, though may appear to be impractical utopian dream, we as a poor country of 1.3 billion people have to move on for a better future. Singapore models of Chandra Babu Naidu, Narendra Modi and Arun Jaitley will not solve our nearly-unsolvable problems. Resorting to Singapore model will be like, unable to bear heat, falling from a hot-pan into the stove.

532 Does consumption of myrobalan reduce sexual prowess? क्या हरीतकी को छे महीने खाने से लैगिक शक्ति कम हो जायेगा. కరక్కాయను ఆరునెలలు తింటే లైంగిక శక్తి తగ్గుతుందా.

Want black hair at the risk of losing masculinity? बाल काला होना या पुंसत्व खो जाना ? జుట్టు నల్ల పడాలా, లేక పుంసత్వాన్ని కోల్పోవాలా? In this world we can't have everything for ourselves. For getting one thing, we may have to lose another thing. World language English in Roman script: प्रपंच भाषा अंग्रेजी, रोमन स्क्रिप्ट में। ప్రపంచ భాష ఇంగ్లీషు రోమన్ స్క్రిప్టులో.
In my earlier posts, I have written about how much I am indebted to Late Suravaram Pratapa Reddy, for his great enlightening book 'Andhrula sAnghika caritra' (The Social History of Andhras, which had greatly influenced my thinking.

Late Suravaram Pratapa Reddy covered the Social History of Andhras, dynasty periodwise, i.e. CAlukya period, kAkatIya period, Vijayanagara period, 1600 to 1757 period etc.

The period of coverage of Hampi Vijayanagara rule is very extensive, probably because Vijayanagara Kings patronised poets, musicians, dancers, and other artists, and consequently lot of literature is available describing the conditions prevailing in those days.

The verses in books of those days, elaborate descriptions of life styles of people of various castes and occupations. Late Shri Pratapa Reddy quoted extensively from the books of those days. We shall take up one such verse, which describes the lifestyle of a 'yati' (yati = one who tries. Try what? Try to attain 'yogA' unification with the Sureme Soul 'paramAtma'). Yatis tend to be passing through a path of enlightenment through self-regulation (In Bhagavad gita, we have a chapter by name Atma Samyama yOgA - the path of self-control.), undertaking penance ('tapas'). Now quote from Suravaram:

Page 292 of Social History of Andhras.
trishavaNa snAnamulu, ishTa dEva pUja
grantha pArAyaNamu, parabrahma cinta,
bhaiksha bhukti, harItakI bhakshaNambu,
ajina Sayanambu kaligi, ayyati vosagu.



 National language Hindi, in dEvanAgari script:
त्रिषवण स्नानमुलु, इष्ट देव पूज,
ग्रंथ पारायणंबु, पर ब्रह्म चिंत,
भैक्ष भुक्ति, हरीतकी भक्षणंबु,
अजिन शयनंबु कलिगि, अय्यति वॊसगु.


 Mother tongue Telugu language మాతృభాష తెలుగులో:
త్రిషవణ స్నానములు, ఇష్ట దేవ పూజ
గ్రంథ పారాయణము, పరబ్రహ్మ చింత
భైక్ష భుక్తి, హరీతకీ భక్షణంబు,
అజిన శయనంబు కలిగి , అయ్యతి వొసగు.

Source of the verse quoted by Shri Suravaram Pratapa Reddy: Book by name Suka Saptati, page 3-545.

Further observation by Shri Suravaram:
దశమాతా హరీతకీ అని వైద్య శాస్త్రము. అది చాల ఉపయోగకారి. చక్కెర పాకులో మురబ్బాగా ఊరవేసిన కరక్కాయ దినమొకటి వంతున ఆరు నెలలు తింటే, నరసిన వెంట్రుకలు నల్లవగునందురు. కానీ పురుషులకు పుంసత్వమును క్షీణింప చేయుననియు అందురు. ఇచట యతి దానిని సేవించుట పురుషత్వమును తగ్గించుకొనుటకే.

Back to English
English gist of the verse: The poet of the Suka Saptati was describing the daily regimen of a yati (Enthusiastic trier of Union with God. ybrao-a-donkey notes: The difference between a yati and a yogi: Yati is still in a stage of making attempts and efforts. Yogi has already accomplished the Yoking Union with the Supreme Soul.).

TrishavaNa snAnamulu - refers to three head-baths a day with cool water (considered as an aid for control of kAma (lust and sexual appetite)). ishTa dEva pUja refers to the worship of one's favourite God(dess).

Grantha pArAyaNamu - refers to perusal and study of devotional books and scriptures. Parabrahma cinta - refers to concentrating, contemplating and meditating on the Supreme Soul.

Bhaiksha bhukti - refers to satisfying one's hunger with alms begged from houses. harItakI bhakshaNambu refers to eating of the fruit Chebulic myrobalan (Terminalia Catappa). Indian gallnut.

ajina Sayanambu kaligi - refers to sleeping on deer skin. ayyati vosagu - refers to 'that seeker gives (does daily)'.

Approximate gist of Late Suravaram Pratapa Reddy quoted above: The maxim of medical science is : 'Myrobalan is equal to mother'. (ybrao-a-donkey's explanation: Probably it means: Mother is regarded as protector of her children. Myrobalan is ten times more effective when compared to a single mother). It is very useful. People say that if a person eats everyday, a myrobalan fruit preserved and processed/soaked in sugar as a murabba (Murabba seems to be an Arab word, a name for preserved fruits such as pomegranate, in sugar or honey) continuously for six months, his-her gray hair becomes black. But people also say that, it reduces masculinity of males. The purpose of yoke-seekers consuming myrobalan, is to get their masculinity reduced.


ybrao-a-donkey's humble view वैबीराव गधे के विनम्र राय వైబీరావు గాడిద వినమ్ర వ్యాఖ్య

It is not clear, what was the source of Late Suravaram Pratapa Reddy, for this information. I am unable to trace this in our ancient Ayurveda books such as Junion vAgbhaTa's ashTAnga sangraham, Susruta samhita, Caraka Samhita, Parahita Samhita, and other books.

If any of our readers have any herbal/Ayurvedic experiences of six months consumption of myrobalan fruit blackening gray hair, or reducing masculinity of males, they are welcome to write their clinical experiences/comments below.
ybrao-a-donkey's humble view No.2. वैबीराव गधे के विनम्र राय వైబీరావు గాడిద వినమ్ర వ్యాఖ్య

Herbs like other medicines of other systems can have many effects. Increase strength and stamina of users. Decreasing strength and stamina of users. Increasing urges, without increasing powers, stamina, strength. Decreasing urges, without affecting powers, stamina and strength.
One personal experience I wish to quote. Invariably on almost all days I consumed brinjal in my food, I had a raised sexual urge, without any proportional increase in sexual prowess.

In the sameway there may be two possibilities for the yatis who consume myrobalan: 1. They may have greater self-restraint + reduced desire to have sex, without affecting their sexual prowess. 2. They may not experience any change in sexual urges, while their sexual stamina gets reduced, in other words, they may have slower erections. Unfortunately, Ayurvedic physicians in India, whether qualified or traditionally inherited doctors, do not maintain sufficient clinical records of the results of consumption of medicines containing myrobalan.

Suggested solution: Ayurvedic doctors may have to, not only maintain detailed clinical records, but also make them available (without mentioning names and addresses of pateients, to protect their privacy), to researchers for computer data entry and analyses.

More citizens and patients should come forward for clinical experimentation and studies.

Anyway, from what we read from Late Suravaram Pratapa Reddy's Social History of Andhras, we have two choices. Get black hair and sacrifice masculinity , or bear with gray hair, without foregoing masculinity.

Have you ever thought? आप कभी भी शोचे क्या ? మీరు ఎప్పుడైనా ఆలోచించారా?
Even herbs can have side effects. वनस्पतियों को भी सैड इफॆक्ट्स रह सकते। వనమూలికలకు కూడ సైడ్ ఇఫెక్ట్ లు ఉండవచ్చు. Homeo medicine will not have. Reason: They do not contain any medical substances, except alcohol and sugar. सिर्फ होमियो दवाओ के ही सैड् इफॆक्ट्स नहीं रहेगे। कारण - होमियो दवाओं मं औषध पदार्ध नहीं रहते। सिर्फ शक्कर, आलकाहाल ही रहते। కేవలం హోమియో మందులకు మాత్రమే సైడ్ ఇఫెక్ట్స్ ఉండవు. ఎందుకంటే, అందులో పంచదారా, సారా తప్ప ఇంకేమీ ఉండవు కనుక. అందుకే వాటిని తాయిత్తులతో పోల్చాను.

Telugu is a language spoken by more than 80 million people, spread over the world. The ancient literature of the Telugu language is richer than the literature of the English language, both in terms of quantity and quality, to the best of my limited knowledge.

Like many other Indian languages, Telugu's vocabulary consists native Indian words (called dEsi), as well as the imported Aryan Sanskrit words (called tatsamam, or prakritis). dEsi words and phrases are easy to pronounce. Tatsama (imported from Sanskrit) words and phrases are difficult to pronounce, but they have their own peculiar beauty.

As a sample, we shall take up Telugu vocabulary, and semantics, along with the figures of speech, pertaining to the Telugu word 'pulinamu'. Pulinam is word imported from Sanskrit 'pulinaha', by adding the suffix 'mu'. Pulinaha or pulinamu means, a sand dune. These sand dunes are quite common in Indian rivers, particularly during summer months, when the rivers dry up due to intense heat.

In Latin script.
The prosody used is called 'sIsamu' and 'tETa giti'. sIsam verses have four lines. Invariably, it has an attachment of another four line verse called 'tETa giti' (light verse- meaning not heavy stuff).

Context: The Sanskrit scripture VyAsa MahAbharata is well-known. This scripture was translated into Telugu language, by three Great poets by name Nannaya, tikkana, and yerrApraggaDa. This particular verse is from Volume 7, called 'drONa parvam'. drONa was the famous Guru of archery for both the PanDava and Kaurava Princes. drONa parva (volume 7) deals with that part of the Mahabharata war, in which drONAcArya was the Chief Commander of the Kaurava Forces. After nine days of fierce battle, Bhishma, the grandsire of the Pandavas and Kauravas, fell to an arrow from SikhanDi & Arjuna.

At the request of Prince duryOdhana, in the place of Bhishma, drONa became the Supreme Commander of the Kaurava forces, and continued the battle for another five days. This particular verse describes the scene of the battle ground, after a days war.

The battle ground is being compared to a River of Blood. Like the regular Rivers of water, the River of Blood too has all the components and constituents, such as waves, froth, fishes, stones, etc.

The translator poet, tikkana, of the 13th Century (1200 -1280 CE), in those days, writing with on dried palmyra leaves with an iron stylus (called ghanTam), when there was no electricity, working on oil lamps, when there were no computers or laptops wrote thousands of verses.

Here is an English gist of one of such verses quoted above, which depicts the RIVER OF BLOOD on the battle ground.


COMPARISON OF WHITE FLY BRUSHES (used as fans) to FROTH, LOTUSES, SWANS.
dhavaLa chAmarAlu are the white fans (fly brushes) made of the hair of animals known as 'chAmarAs- a type of yaks, bos-grunniers', used for weaving the battle-tired princes. These brushes are also called 'vinjAmarAlu వింజామరాలు'. DinDIrams are bubbles and drops of froth on the river's waves. punDarIkams are white and red lotuses. The poet is comparing the white fly brushes, to the white/red lotuses with froth appearing on their top. Rivers whether of water, or blood have waves with froth on them. Hence, this simile/metaphor is quite justifiable. He is also comparing them to swans (marALams) in the river.

COMPARISON OF SWORDS OF DECEASED SOLDIERS TO FISHES
karavAlams are swords used in the battle. These the poet is comparing to fishes (mInamula bhangi).

COMPARISON OF SEVERED HEADS TO STONES IN RIVER 

In 'talalu Silala cADpu' talalu =heads, Silalu = round stones, cADpu = like. The poet is comparing the severed heads of the soldiers to the stones which we see in rivers (whether rivers of blood, or rivers of water).

COMPARISON OF 'dESamulu' to a row of water weeds in rivers. 

dESamulu SaivAla rEkhayu. The meaning of the word dESamulu is not found in dictionaries. We have to search. In the word dESAkshi rAga, a name of a musical tune, akshi means = a girl having eyes, dESamu might have meant either fish or a lotus petal, both of which are used in similes employed by poets. Anyway, the poet has compared the dESamulu to water weeds. After further investigation, I shall re-write this paragraph.


COMPARISON OF FLESH TO MUD.
mAmsambu panka samAnata. mAmsambu = flesh. panka = mud, grime. samAnata = equality, similarity. Here, the similarity of flesh of the wounded bodies of the corpses, and the mud and grime which is found in rivers, is very clear.


COMPARISON OF DEAD SOLDIERS, HORSES, ELEPHANTS, BROKEN CHARIOTS TO SAND DUNES.

bhaTASva mAtanga anga bhagna rathamula tiTTalu pulinamulu kAga. bhaTAs = soldiers. aSva = horses. mAtanga = elephants. bhagna = broken. rathamula = chariots. kAga = having become. pulinamulu = sand dunes. All these heaps and mounds of the dead soldiers, horses, elephants, broken chariots, the poet is comparing to sand dunes (pulinams).

In the smaller verse of the four lines, the comparison is between the swollen groups of souls of slain warriors, and the swollen river. Exact meaning is not clear. The swollen river of blood, presumably may also serve as water to quench the thirst of dead souls, (pending their judgement day, they seem to be called prEtams or bhEtALas, surviving on blood).

Now, compare this scene of river of blood on the battle grounds of Mahabharata, called kurukshEtram, to the heaps of dead bodies, exploded buildings and cars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakisthan, Syria, Turkey under guidance from ISIS, Taliban etc.

There are five more verses to be discussed under pulinams (sand dunes). We have seen one set of sand dunes consisting of heaps broken chariots, horses, elephants, soldiers. The remaining four pulinams (sand dunes), will be taken up in the forthcoming blog posts.

530 Part 3 of Futurological Predictions for Telangana & Residual Andhra Pradesh. भाग ३, तॆलंगाणा और शेष आंध्र प्रदेश భాగం ౩, తెలంగాణ, శేష్ ఆంధ్ర ప్రదేశ్ లకు భవిష్యత్ దర్శనాలు


World language English in Roman script: प्रपंच भाषा अंग्रेजी, रोमन स्क्रिप्ट में। ప్రపంచ భాష ఇంగ్లీషు రోమన్ స్క్రిప్టులో.

Political Predictions:

Telangana:


Who will be next Nadendla Bhaskara Rao or Chandra Babu Naidu, to stab KCR? History tends to repeat, unless leaders and people correct themselves. నాయకులు, ప్రజలు తమని తాము సరిదిద్దుకోకపోతే, చరిత్ర పునరావృత్తమవుతూ ఉంటుంది. Two stabbings which Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh saw. ఉమ్మడి రాష్ట్రం, రెండు వెన్ను పోట్లను చవిచూచింది.:--

1. One stabbing by Shri Nadendla Bhaskara Rao. మొదటి వెన్నుపోటు శ్రీనాదెండ్ల భాస్కర రావు చేత చేయబడింది. This was done to Late N.T. Rama Rao the 1983 C.M., by Shri Nadendla Bhaskara Rao, with the help of the Governor, Shri Ramlal. ఇది అప్పటి గవర్నర్ శ్రీ రామ్ లాల్ గారి సహాయంతో, శ్రీ నాదెండ్ల భాస్కరరావు చేసింది. భాధితుడు స్వర్గీయ ఎన్ టీ ఆర్. Shri Chandra Babu Naidu was the younger son-in-law of NTR, and was in the bandwagon of NTR, running the circus in his tent. Nadendla Bhaskara Rao and Ramlal were made to appear as villains, and Late Indira Gandhi had to correct it.

2. The second stabbing, within a decade, was by Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu himself. He politically stabbed his father-in-law NTR, by luring MLAs (with or without money and ministerial positions), and succeeded in displacing him. This time, there was no Indira Gandhi to save NTR. NTR was left in the lurch, and finally he succcumbed either to his misery and broken heart. Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu appeared like a villain, yet, people elected him twice in spite of the stabbing stains.

3. In 2004, Mr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy succeeded Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, by making and fulfilling a nearly impossible promise of free power to agricultural wells. Ms. Sonia Gandhi's 2004 promise of giving a Telangana might have helped Congress in 2004. In 2009, Mr. Rajasekhar Reddy not only successfully swam the elections, but also helped the Congress and UPA's success to reach the throne of Delhi.

4. Political stabbing is the culture both in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Like eclipses, solstices, equinoxes, p_stabs also repeat in periodical cycles, a la the booms and troughs in Stock Exchanges. Had he been alive, Mr. Rajasekhara Reddy too might have suffered a p_stab, but instead a helicopter-mishap took him away to some non-existing heaven/hell.

5. But the cycle of p_stabs cannot remain dormant for ever. Though Mr. KCR seems to have been seated firmly in his Chief Ministerial throne, with his son KTR, nephew Harish Rao, daughter Kavita weaving chamarams (a fan made of the fur of an Indian animal called 'chamara' used in king's courts, to wave, blow wind and sway air at kings in luxury when electric fans were not in vogue) by his side. But the p_stabs can't wait. The safer and dictatorial a ruler may appear, yet he may be equally vulnerable.

We have to wait and see, who the political villain in Telangana is going to be.

RESIDUAL ANDHRA PRADESH



Though India's Attorney-General is reported to have opined that Governor of Andhra Pradesh can police the Hyderabad City (the Common Capital of Telangana and RAP), under Section 8 of A.P. Bifurcation Act, with the help of his advisors, it is likely that Governor may do some 'action' scenes, a la in Bollywood and Tollywood films. This is because he has no inclination, or time to do full justice to Residual Andhra Pradesh. Though he can call the DGPs of both the States and advise them on what they may or what they may not do in Hyderabad, it is very likely that none of them will listen to it.

This is because DGPs of the two States will want to be disobedient to the Head of the State, but because it goes against the the Principle of Unity of Command, in Management Science. To elucidate, DGP of Telangana will not like to take conflicting orders from Governor, and the Chief Minister of Telangana. They will prefer to comply only with the orders of KCR-KTR-Harish-Kavita, and not the orders of Guv.

What the Guv can do then? He has already said that Lord Venkateswara (God of TTD, Tirumala) will resolve the disputes between the two States. One question which arises is, if God Venkateswara is going to resolve the problems, Lord can be made the Governor. Why pay salary to a lower individual?

KCR & Co. will not listen to anybody, the Governor, the Attorney General, the Home Ministry, or even the PM. He has already said that even Brahma cannot save Mr. Naidu. Besides, Mr. KCR has already prayed Lord Lakshmi Narasimha at Yadagirigutta.

Suppose, if Mr. KCR's Govt. decides to arrests Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, and the DGP of Telangana goes to comply with his CM's orders, Governor will not probably ask the DGP, Telangana to restrain himself. Even if he tells, DGP, Telangana may not listen. On the other hand, Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu may instruct DPG, Andhra Pradesh to arrange an AP Police cordon around him.

Probably Residual Andhra Pradesh may need another Panner Selvam (the Acting Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, when Ms. Jayalalithaa was arrested and in jail), to act as C.M. of A.P., till such a time Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu gets a bail. Will this Panner Selvam's role be donned by Mr. Lokesh, or by Mr. Balakrishna through his proxy Lokesh, or by Mr. Enamala Ramakrishnudu?

529 Part 3 of Clarifications on atheism. yoga भाग १, निरीश्वर वाद, योगा, के विषय में कुछ स्पष्टीकरण. నిరీశ్వరవాదం (నాస్తికత్వ), మరియు యోగా విషయంలో కొన్ని స్పష్టీకరణలు.





World language English in Roman script: प्रपंच भाषा अंग्रेजी, रोमन स्क्रिप्ट में। ప్రపంచ భాష ఇంగ్లీషు రోమన్ స్క్రిప్టులో.

The question "Does God really exist?" is thousands of years old.

Answer for this complex, disputed, ethereal, sticky, tricky, question lies in the definition of the word "God".

There are several threads of multi-twined-yarn, in this grand rope of the word "God".

The foremost two threads, we shall take up.


1. Question प्रश्न ప్రశ్న : Whether God as a "Super-human force exist?".

Answer जवाब జవాబు:   Human, has not as on date, conquered all the forces not only in this expansive universe, but also even on this congested earth. He-she (humans) are on the way of conquering nature (a component of the superhuman force, call it God or by any name). Probably they will succeed. People living in the 21st Century may not live to see it. Hence, it will become worthwhile to say that superhuman forces exist, and one of the attributes of God as a superhuman force holds good as on today. Once humans, with the help of science and technology conquer all the superhuman forces on Earth (conquering Universe comes later), this attribute of God as a superhuman force will have to pave way to something else.


Question प्रश्न ప్రశ్న : Whether God can punish us, reward us, save us?

Answer जवाब జవాబు: No proof of such capabilities or dispositions of God. On the other hand, proofs of a negative answer, we can get abundantly. Best very recent example: 23 people went from Vizianagaram in the Northern-most tip of Andhra Pradesh , about 700km far, to Tirumala situated in the southern most tip of Andhra Pradesh, with all faith and sincerity. The Head of the family was the owner of the vehicle, and he himself was driving it. Every one of them might have prayed to Lord Venkateswara with great devotion, with a hope that they will get optimum rewards, least punishments, and full safety. 

But what happened? While returning, the vehicle fell from the bridge of the Dhawaleswaram Barrage into Godavari River, and 21 people perished. Only one boy survived.



Question प्रश्न ప్రశ్న: Is God pray-able? Is God worship-able? Is God feed-able? Is God wash-able and bath-able? Does God receive communications? Does God respond to such communications? Which language does God speak, or understand?  Does God have sex?  Why does n't God in some religions is called "He", "Father", and yet He does not have a wife, and the humans who are his sons, do not have a Mother?

Answer जवाब జవాబు: No proof of God's pray-ability. No proof of God's worship-ability. No proof of God's feed-ability. No proof of God's wash-ability and bath-ability. No proof of God's receiving communications. No proof of God's responding to communications.

Gods cannot hear or speak languages. Of course, preachers will, always say that God is omniscient and knows all languages. But the same preachers run the prayer houses, and most prayers are made in Latin, Arabic-Persian, and Sanskrit. Preachers seem to believe and propagate that God listens better and more, if prayed in Arabic or Latin or Sanskrit, and for that purpose, priests are engaged, paying hefty amounts.


Question प्रश्न ప్రశ్న:   What is the purpose of this blog post?

Answer जवाब జవాబు:   I felt that there is a need to clarify into our approaches and thinking. Atheism seems to concentrate more on proving and spreading the fact that there is no God. Suggested clarified approach: Although a God(dess) in the meaning of a superhuman force may exist (or may not exist), he-she does not exist in the meaning of a receiver of human feedings, kneelings, prayers, prostrations, salutes, and worships. It will be futile to pray/worship any force of Nature, Universe calling them as God(dess), whether using idols as tools, or without using tools, turning to a pulpit or a wall.


Question प्रश्न ప్రశ్న Can we apply this to sUrya namaskArs also?

Definitely. Sun is a very huge gaseous sphere. We may get energy, light from that gaseous body. Our survival itself, may depend on the sunlight and sun's rays, umpteen things like photo-synthesis. Yet we cannot call a gaseous average sized body in the cosmos, as God, personifying it. There is no need or question of prostrating before the gaseous star, imagining it to be a God by name "Sun".

As a form of physical exercise, sUrya namaskArs may be good. But the name sUrya namaskArs becomes irrational, whether such physical exercises are performed facing the Sun, or indoors.


However, to perform Surya namaskars simply as physical exercise or physical exercise + prayer to personified Sun God, can be left to individuals.  Better, if the State does not make it a controversial topic, by trying to impose it.    Nobody forces people to buy cell phones or download porn videos.   Yet millions of Indians and millions of people of the world do it, quite voluntarily, because they get some pleasure in it.  If they can find same kind of joy in doing Surya Namaskar's, it will be well and good. 

Conclusion:  People's' Choices between Surya Namaskars and mobile porn essentially depend on hitam (what is good and secure for them) and priyam (what is liked by them- whether good or not).

528 Part 2. No link between Yoga and World Peace. विश्व शांती और योगा के मध्य कुछ तालूक नहीं है।

The first International Yoga Day, marks the dawn of a “new era” to bring peace and harmony in the world.

ybrao-a-donkey's humble view वैबीराव गधे के विनम्र राय వైబీరావు గాడిద వినమ్ర వ్యాఖ్య


There is no link between world peace and the International Yoga Day. World Peace is a function of numerous factors, which have nothing to do with Yoga. PM's declaration is only a rhetoric. Will Yoga pacify and deter China from declaring that Arunachal Pradesh is not their territory? Will Yoga deter China from using Karakoram Highway, Ladakh and POK for accessing Arabian Ports? Will Yoga dissuade China from provoking its neighbors on the South China Sea? Never.

Will Yoga stop Christian Missionaries using the Western Financial Clout to induce and convert innocent poor people into Christianity, under a guise of running hospitals and schools? Never.

Will Yoga sufficiently motivate the American Presidents, and the Governors to initiate corrective steps to reduce the number of attacks by Racialist White Youth and White Police on the accursed Black youth in United States?

Will Yoga dissuade the Developed Western World, Australia, Canada and China, from running Tax Havens and Casinos?

Will Yoga stop the Chicago abettoires

Mr. Ban-ki-Moon, the Secretary General of the UNO is said to have said to Ms. Sushma Swaraj, India's Foreign Minister:
"...I am also very much excited. (There is) a lot of enthusiasm. We have been observing many international days on something but this one (yoga day) is unprecedented, most exciting. ..."


What futorological predictions, we can make for India?

The UNO is hard-pressed for funds. Mr. Ban-ki-Moon and UNO are expecting India to double or substantially raise its contribution (subscription) to UNO. The Capitalist World of the USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe are no longer interested to sufficiently fund the UNO. According to them, China, India, etc. are also affluent enough to raise their subscriptions to UNO.

Mr. Ban-ki-Moon's Quid-pro-quo will, therefore, be telephoning Mr. Narendra Modi, one fine morning, and ask him to raise India's subscription/contribution/donations to UNO.

Did n't Karl Marx, say that "All Human Relations are financial relations" !

Ms. Sushma Swaraj, External Affairs Minister, is reported to have said:

"...Yoga Day a platform to unite world..."


Let us not worry about Yoga uniting the world. Will it, at least unite India? Will it at least united BJP? Will it at least cement the chasm between Mr. L.K. Advani, Mr. Murali Manohar Joshi, and the Prime Minister? Mr. Advani is reported to have expressed his apprehensions about the possibility of imposition of emergency in India. Will there be no need for such emergency, because BJP is going to teach Yoga to Messrs. Advani and Joshi?
