One of my readers pointed out: "Why can't Swamijis have fun?"
Ans: Fun is for ordinary householders and individuals like you and me. Fun is not for Swamijis, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Bharat Ratnas, who are expected to show way to a Nation of 1.20 billion Indians, and weight-lifters of whole Nations!

Today's is Swami Vivekananda's Death Anniversary. He passed away on 4th July 1902. July 4 is also the American Independence Day. आज स्वामी विवेकानंदा के वर्धंति दिन। उनहोंने ४ जुलै १९०२ दिनांक दिवंगत हुए थे। जुलै ४, अमॆरिका के स्वातंत्र्य दिन भी है। ఈరోజు స్వామీ వివేకానంద వర్ధంతి. ఈ సందర్భంగా భారత ప్రధాన మంత్రి గారు ఇలా ప్రకటించారుట.

* PM pays tributes to Swami Vivekananda, on his birth anniversary
* PM bows to Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore on his birth anniversary
* PM greets the people of Bihar, on Bihar Diwas
* PM releases commemorative coin on Swami Chinmayananda
* My govt will ensure complete freedom of faith, PM says.

It can be observed from the garland of Press Releases that PM's message for Swami Vivekananda's Death Anniversary is also tagged with Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore's birth anniversary, Bihar Day, Swami Chinmayananda, and PM's assurance that his Govt. will ensure complete freedom of faith.

In India, politicians do not forget caste, religion, and region, on any given day. Even if people want to forget, it is not allowed. Bihar Elections are nearby. Ramadan holy month is going on. Hence, there is a need to cover every Section of the Society.

Gist of PM's message on Swami Vivekananda's Death Anniversary:

"स्वामी विवेकानंद को उनकी जयंती पर शत् शत् नमन

On his birth anniversary, I bow to Swami Vivekananda. He is a personal inspiration, whose thoughts and ideals have influenced me deeply.

Swami Vivekananda is revered as one of the most prolific thinkers and a guiding light who took India's message to the entire world.
Let us pledge to leave no stone unturned to integrate our youth in India's progress and ensure youth-led development across the Nation.

I believe that Respected Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi has not studied the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, particularly his epistles, in depth. May be because of his hectic political activity throughout his life.

If our Respected Prime Minister read about Swami Vivekananda's support of beef eating, penchant for liquors and non-veg. food, teaching Yoga to drunken American Women, his fetish for the yankee land, his calling India a jelly fish and a rotten corpse, our PM and, ---our PM's Parent Organisation RSS and VHP top functionaries, studied the deviating ways of Swami Vivekananda, ---- they might not have have chosen to place Swamiji on a very high pedestal and built a memorial for him at Kanyakumari spending millions. Actually, Hinduism does not need any role models or propagandaists. Hinduism is not a religion for spreading. It is a pluralist and well-diffused lifestyle, broader and more accommodative than the narrow religions of the West Asia, Istambul and Rome.

For those who are interested to see a different perspective on Swami Vivekananda, can have a look at the blog: Click to go to yb's blog on Swami Vivekananda.

What had happened in U.S.A. and Europe, during the two visits of Swami Vivekananda? While Veerchand Gandhi representing Jains at the World Congress of Religions, Chicago, mobilised two ship loads of wheat and sent to famine-stricken India, Vivekananda tried to make some dollars by entering into a contract with an American Company, got cheated by them, and then he tried to make dollars independently, by teaching yoga to drunken aristocratic women. He was insisting on staying in big hotels. Beef was not a taboo for him. He was asking Alasinga to send money. Rev. Barrows (2nd in Command of the World Parliament on Religions) built hopes on Vivekananda and Majundar to propagate Christianity in India, Vivekananda tried to make dollars in USA, by attracting rich disciples. Establishing a temple for Guru Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, serving the poor in India, they were all facades. Even a small thing like abstaining from smoking (a true Hindu Sanyasi is considered as Indriya-jit or jitEndra), he could not accomplish. His co-author and publisher of Raja Yoga , E.T. Sturdy a great Sanskrit scholar of LOndon, had developed doubts about Swamiji. Ms. Henrietta Muller, an equally great intellectual like Vivekananda, who donated large amount for purchase of Belur Math land, called everything a fraud and shifted to Theosophy of Annie Besant.

Vivekananda always wanted to stay in Cool Centres like Ooty, Almora. For that reason only, Switzerland, France, America suited. him. He loved the yankee land so much so, that he called India a jelly fish and a rotten corpse.

Proof for everything pointed above can be obtained from his Complete Works published by his own institutions. Some of the quotes, are worth retweeting. But nobody retweets them.

One sample quote, we shall have! Swami Vivekananda wrote to Mr. E.T. Sturdy from Ridgely Manor, on Sept. 14, 1899:

"...In India the moment I landed they made me shave my head and wear "Kaupin" (loin cloth), with the result that I got diabetes etc. Saradananda never gave up his underwear — this saved his life, with just a touch of rheumatism and much comment from our people. Of course, it is my Karma, and I am glad that it is so. ..."

Same quote, approximately in Telugu language my mother tongue:

"...నేను భారత్ లో కాలు పెట్టిన మరు క్షణమే వాళ్ళు నన్ను గుండు చేయించుకునేలా చేశారు. కౌపీనం ధరించేలాగా చేశారు. ఫలితంగా నాకు మధుమేహం మొ|| వచ్చాయి. శారదానంద తన అండర్ వేర్ ను ఎప్పుడూ వదిలేయ లేదు. అది అతడి జీవితాన్ని రక్షించింది. కేవలం కీళ్ళనొప్పులతో మరియు మా జనం నుండి చాలా వ్యాఖ్యలతో వదిలేసింది. అయితే నేం, అది నాకర్మ, మరియు అది అలా ఉన్నందుకు నాకు ఆనందమే ... . ..."

Does anybody get diabetes by shaving head and wearing kaupin? Nearly 750 million Indians wear kaupins every day. Should we say that they will get diabetes only because they shave their heads or wear kaupins (loin cloth)? Absurd! What a prolific thinker, Swami Vivekananda was! Does a prolific thinker blame his karma for his diabetes?

కేవలం గుండు చేయించుకుని తుండుగుడ్డో లుంగీయో కట్టుకుంటే ఎవరికైనా మధుమేహం వస్తుందా. భారత్ లో ౭౫౦ మిలియన్ల మంది రోజూ అడ్డపంచలు, టవళ్ళతో రోజులు లాగిస్తున్నారు. అసాధ్యం. స్వామి వివేకానందగారు ఎంత గొప్ప ఆలోచనా శీలియో కదా ఎక్కడైనా ఆలోచనా శీలియైన వాడు తన చక్కెర జబ్బుకు కర్మను నిందిస్తాడా ?

One of my readers pointed out: "Why can't Swamijis have fun?" Ans: Fun is for ordinary individuals like you and me. Fun is not for Swamijis, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Bharat Ratnas, who are expected to show way to a Nation of 1.20 billion Indians, and weight-lifters of whole Nations!

Question, प्रश्न, ప్రశ్న

Now, one more pertinent question which arises to my mind: Does any human (Indian or a Non-Indian, whoever he is) require a role-model, to emulate and modulate one's own behaviors?

Ans: Probably not. We can even say 'Definitely not'. Reasons: Every individual lives his-her life in a unique set of environment. Goals of individuals differ. Resources available to the individuals differ. Constraints which limit individual behaviors differ. Then, there is a conflict of broad objectives vs. sub-objectives. There may be conflicts between immediate objectives and long term objectives.

To give an example, here is a link about Ajit Wadekar, Sunil Gavaskar, and Sachin Tendulkar. Click to go to Indiatimes.com/when-sachin-tendulkar...

Context: Date: PTI 25.4.2015. Mr. Ajit Wadekar, a septugenarian Cricketer, Former Captain, Former Manager of India. His keynote address at the Legends' Summit on the occasion of Tendulkar's 42nd birthday. We shall see a part of what Mr. Wadekar was reported to have said:

"...There was this incident in New Zealand. It was on my birthday which is April 1. We had a lovely net session day before and I retired to bed early as I used to fool others on All Fools' Day. I was half asleep when at stroke of midnight, Sachin was at my room door with a serious look on his face. ..."

"...I asked Sachin as to why he was knocking at my door at such an odd hour and he said that something was wrong with Kapil Dev. I wore my pyjamas and went to Kapil's room two floors away. When we entered the room, I saw the entire team with a cake and champagne bottled. I was shocked and surprised..."

"...Suddenly, from the connecting room, belly dancers, six of them, walked in and started dancing. I wondered this must have been Sachin's idea as Sunny (Sunil Gavaskar), though a commentator on that tour, was not to be seen. Sunny is famous for his pranks but this must have been Sachin's idea..."

"...I really enjoyed belly dancing and had two glasses of champagne, before I realized that everyone had started leaving. I was suddenly left with one belly dancer. Being the manager of the team, I had to observe the code of conduct and retire to my room ... "

Firstly, we should greatly, greatly appreciate Mr. Wadekar's openness and transparency.

Indian cricketers are very good in playing pranks. Here, Wadekar's observation is very clear about Mr. Sachin Tendulkar bringing belly-dancers to please Team Manager. Leaving him with one belly dancer after everybody left, what message does it convey? It is good that Mr. Wadekar didn't forget about code of conduct. Did other cricketers forget about code of conduct? That he might not have known.

Mr. Vinod Cambli was a cricketing-twin of Sachin Tendulkar from Mumbai City, both being disciples of the same mentor. It is believed that Cambli lost his place in Indian team owing to inconsistent performances and off-field conduct. For that matter even Mr. Sachin Tendulkar was also inconsistent in several series. But he rarely lost his place. In spite of several mediocre performances, selectors and the Board gave him numerous chances, prolonged his career, and enabled him to build records. So, did our Bharat Ratna's pranks helped him to get a prolonged career?

Mr. Vinod Cambli should have learnt some techniques from his childhood friend and team mate Mr. Sachin Tendulkar.

Mr. Wadekar's observation about Sunil Gavaskar's fame for pranks can also be noted.

538 Part 2 of L.K. Advani's utterances, भाग २ श्री ऎल् के अद्वानी के भाषण భాగం ౨ శ్రీ ఎల్ కే అద్వానీ గారి భాషణలు, వ్రాతలు.

Mr. L.K. Advani is a very Senior leader of BJP, who has dedicated his life to his party. He has also served India very faithfully as its Information & Broadcasting Minister during the 1st Janata Experiment, Home Minister and Dy. Prime Minister, during the 1999-2004 Shining India, BJP Rule of Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Advani is BJP's father figure along with Vajpayee and Murali Manohar Joshi.

World Language English, Latin Script

Whatever I am writing here in this particular blog post is tentative, pending receipt of reactions of readers, and other stakeholders in political blogs.

On the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of Imposition of Internal Emergency in India, Mr. L.K. Advani, in an interview with Indian Express, was reported to have said:

"...India’s political system is still to come to terms with the Emergency and a similar suspension of civil liberties could not be ruled out in the future. ..."

"...At the present point of time, the forces that can crush democracy, notwithstanding the constitutional and legal safeguards, are stronger. ..."

"... I don’t think anything has been done that gives me the assurance that civil liberties will not be suspended or destroyed again. Not at all. ..."

"...Of course, no one can do it easily... But that it cannot happen again — I will not say that. It could be that fundamental liberties are curtailed again. ..."

"... I do not see any sign in our polity that assures me, any outstanding aspect of leadership. A commitment to democracy and to all other aspects related to democracy is lacking. ..."

"...Today, I do not say that the political leadership is not mature. But kamiyon ke karan, vishwas nahin hota (I don’t have faith because of its weaknesses). I don’t have the confidence that it (Emergency) cannot happen again. ..."

"...It happened despite the constitutional safeguards that were in place. “There aren’t enough safeguards in India in 2015. ..."

" ...as it happened in Germany, where Hitler’s rule appears to have inoculated the system against Hitlerian tendencies and because of which today’s Germany is more particular about democratic norms than even perhaps the British. ..."

" ...The aftermath of the Emergency having been an election in which the party that imposed the Emergency lost very badly, would always be a deterrent for future rulers who think of repeating what was done in the 1970s. ..."

"...Media is 'more independent today, but does it have a real commitment to democracy and civil liberties — I don’t know. It is something that must be put to the test. ... And civil society raised hopes, most recently during the Anna mobilisation against corruption, only to disappoint. ..."

" ...Of the various institutions that are to be held responsible for a well functioning democracy in India today, the judiciary is more responsible than the others. ..."

It is not clear whether Mr. L.K. Advani meant that internal emergencies may again be imposed, if Congress again comes into power. Or did he mean to say that there is a possibiility of imposition of internal emergency, even during BJP's rule?

I have tried to gauge the reactions of netizens on Social Media sites. There seems to be a view among netizens that Mr. Advani's views need not be given much value, as he is speaking/writing with frustration, having been sidelined by the emergence of Mr. Narendra Modi as the supreme leader of Indian Nation.

I have tried to check up at the website of Shri Advani. Surprisingly, I found that there is not much about what he has personally said/written after the 2014 election. For those who wish to have a look at the website of Mr. L.K. Advani, here is the link: Click to go to lkadvani.in . Last published blog on the site was of April 2014 (before General election). There seems to be some calculated silence /deliberate abstinence from writing and reticence.

The presented indication about possibility of an internal emergency as a part of interview with Indian Express, in connection with the 40th anniversary of the Congress imposed 1975 emergency, may either be a slip of tongue as opportunities of interviews become infrequent after a person loses power and is at the mercy of some other person, --- or an outpouring of suppressed feelings for about 13 months or so. (Explanation: After election of Mr. Narendra Modi as PM, and Mr. Ameet Shah as BJP President, Advani was rarely asked to speak on either Govt. platforms, or on party platforms. Media might have approached him very rarely for his interviews and to elicit his views, because he was no longer a person capable of rewarding, or punishing, or accelerating, or obstructing media. Media lives on advertising and paid news. Indian Express.Com may be an exception. )

Whatever Mr. L.K. Advani has recently said about internal emergency like conditions, his views are not direct, they are all veiled. Why? He may still have some last hopes on becoming a RASHTRAPATI. Or that, events may change to his favour.

Though an internal emergency has not been officially declared in 2015 India, some elements similar to 1975 emergency, have already crept in, whether they have been at the behest of the Government , or on volition of the leaders, bureaucrats, instituions, media, people themselves.

During our school days, essay contests used to be held in schools. One of the topics used to be: Is pen mightier or sword mightier? (Or) Pen is mightier than sword. Teachers expected that students would invariably write and try to prove that pen is mightier than sword. In one of such contests, I wrote that money is mightier both than pen and sword. The teacher who evaluated the essay papers called me next day, and counselled me. In spite of brainwashing by my teacher, my view didn't change. Even today I hold the view that money is mightier both than pen and sword.

I believe that it was Advani who said that in 1975 emergency, we kneeled, where it was just sufficient that we slightly bent. In 2015, we are again kneeling, unless we are 100% sure that nobody is seeing us. My readers who want to satisfy themselves on how far we are kneeling, can have look at Door Darsan, or listen to All India Radio. They will know that 1975 days are back again.

If we have to compare the craze for publicity of Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi, and Mr. Narendra Modi, whom we shall vote for? If we have to compare the authoritarian tendencies of Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi and Mr. Narendra Modi, whom shall we vote for?

Trigger for my today's this blog post. An article titled "Jai Jawan" -the Governor General's Files, by Shri S.K. Sinha, Former Vice Chief of Army Staff, former Governor of Assam and Kashmir. This article is worth reading, whether we agree with all that was written by Mr. Sinha in it. Link: Click to go to SK Sinha's article in Deccan Chronicle dated 1.7.2015.

The article is very informative about some of the events connected to apolitical and non-interfering role played by our army in the 1975 emergency period.

We should be grateful to Gen. T.N. Raina, the then Army Chief, for his impartiality and his independent outlook, and above all his unwillingness to intervene or interfere, into affairs of civil governance.

Earlier, in one of my blog posts, I wrote about the instigative speeches made by Messrs. Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani (about which a CD of their speeches in U.P. was in circulation as evidence) which have culminated in the destruction of Babri Masjid in 1992.

Mr. Vajpayee's role in 1942 Quit India Movement is also under shrouds, without adequate investigations.

Notwithstanding both the above, Mr. Vajpayee was conferred Bharat Ratna, and Mr. Advani was conferred Padma Vibhushan. Of course, when compared to many others, who received Bharata Ratnas and Padma Vibhushans, all these years, both Vajpayee and Advani may well deserve these awards. Yet, there is a need to have a detailed CBI investigation into their instigative role in the destruction of Babri Masjid and Vajpayee's role in Quit India Movement. I heard that a case is pending in UP courts filed by a former CPM MP about Mr. Vajpayee in Quit India Movement. That case is to be brought to a logical conclusion, and if Mr. Vajpayee comes out innocent, then he will become a purer gold emerging after facing fires of a goldsmith.

Here is a very important quote from Mr. S.K. Sinha's article.

"...I came across a well-written pamphlet titled “A tale of two democracies”. It discussed how Hitler, the elected Chancellor of the Weimar Republic of Germany, had subverted the Constitution and imposed Emergency. The German generals, being apolitical, did not interfere. Had they intervened, Hitler could be removed and the world saved the great holocaust of the Second World War. It compared Indira Gandhi’s Emergency to Hitler’s Emergency, implying that if Indian generals did not act, India may face a catastrophe. It was a virtual call for intervention by the Army. I immediately informed the government and ensured that no copy of this booklet was allowed to circulate amongst Army personnel. I discovered later that the author of this booklet was L.K. Advani, then in prison in Bangalore. ...."

Full text of Advani's "The Tale of two Democracies" pamphlet quoted by S.K. Sinha is not available for an in depth study. Prima facie, the sentence->

"...It compared Indira Gandhi’s Emergency to Hitler’s Emergency, implying that if Indian generals did not act, India may face a catastrophe. ..."

indicates that Advani wanted Indian General's to intervene, to stop Indira Gandhi's autocratic rule. Fortunately, they have not intervened or interfered.

Howsoever bleak and hopeless the emergency days were, if the pamphlet was genuine, it was very very foolish on the part of Mr. Advani to expect that Army should intervene. When placed in jail, he might have lost his mental balance TEMPORARILY.

I request my readers to study the article of Shri S.K. Sinha, in the Deccan Chronicle link provided above.

Mr. S.K. Sinha is a great, well-decorate former Army high-ranked Official. A donkey like me has no right to doubt his credential. Yet, my restless conscience tells me, that Mr. Sinha's article may not be a total self-less expression of opinion. This is because, he has not written anything, about what is happening in 2015 India.

Part 1 of: Can you write something about Pushkaram festival for Godavari River in South India? गोदावरी नदी के पुष्करों के बारे में आप कुछ लिख सकते हैं ? భాగం 1, గోదావరి పుష్కరాల గురించి మీరేమైనా వ్రాయగలరా ?

In India Pushkarams are associated with religious beliefs and sentiments, hence we have to analyse issues very carefully, else somebody or other will claim that his religious emotions are hurt.

Pushkarams are River Festivals held every 12 years.

Why 12 rivers in India have pushkarams. Why not for all Rivers? Why Pushkara and Brahma (creator) did not like other rivers such as Mahanadi, Sarayu Nadi, Chambal River, Gomati River, Zhelum, Chenab, Beas, Ravi, Sutlej, Rivers? Are they sinful? Why tAmraparNi in Tamil Nadu and prANahita in Telangana more sacred than Damodar, Bahuda Rivers?

Selected Rivers in India have pushkarams. Who selected them, and on what basis, nobody knows. There is some arbitrariness in selection of the Rivers.

These selected rivers need not be major very big rivers with great flows.

Ganges, Yamuna, Saraswati, Indus are North Indian Rivers. Saraswati is a mythological River said to be flowing underground underneathe Ganga, Yamuna, at the confluence of Trinity (trivENi Sangamam) at PrayAg (Allahabad).

Narmada and Tapati are West-Indian Rivers flowing into Arabian Sea.

Bhima, Tungabhadra, Pranahita, Krishna and Godavari are Deccan Rivers flowing among the four States of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. Thus, Pushkaras have are more common and relevant for these four States.

Among the five Deccan Pushkara Rivers, Bhima, Tungabhadra are tributaries of River KrishnaVeNi. Pranahita is a tributary of Godavari.

The twelfth and the last River is Tamraparni. It flows through Tirunelveli and Tuticorn Districts of Tamil Nadu, into Bay of Bengal.

Question, प्रश्न, ప్రశ్న

Why should there be pushkarams only for Indian Rivers?

If we ask this question to Indian priests, they will say that foreigners are barbarious and they do not know the sacredness of rivers.

India is a hot country. Bathing is very important in India, from the point of view of physical hygiene. In ancient India, transport facilities were far and few.

Places used to be dry or wet intermittantly depending on monsoons. Consequently, wells (called kUpAs in Sanskrit) used to be the main source of water for bathing. Well water used to be hard, and saline, depending on the minerals dissolved in the soil. Only those people residing in villages located on the banks of Rivers had the opportunity of bathing in them. Others had to travel long distances through hard and tough terrrains by walk or bullock carts to have glimpses of rivers and bathing in them. In the context, pushkara River festivals gave people occasions and opportunities to bathe in sacred rivers. When people of those days bathed in Indian rivers, it gave them a feeling of refreshment and rejuvenation.

Since 19th Century many canals have been dug from Indian Rivers, and river waters have become available even in far off places. Barrages on Godavari and Krishna Rivers have made available long canals containing river waters.

With development of electricity, electric pumps, pipeline systems, river water has come to doorsteps of many households, even in small towns, not to speak of cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Surat, Rajahmundry, Patna, Vijayawada.

People of Cities having River Water Pumping Systems bathe in River water at their homes, everyday. It has become so common, that they have forgotten the sanctity of that. Having lost that consciousness and memory, for these people, there should be no additional sanctity of their going to River banks, bathe and wash there, and pollute them further.

Question, प्रश्न, ప్రశ్న

What will you say about the calculation differences about the commencement date of pushkarams?

Ans: Ancient Indian astronomers were very accurate in their measurements, though they were made without any sophisticated equipment. The depended more on their logical capabilities and mathematical acumen.

As I have already pointed out in my earlier blog posts, Indian astronomy and Indian astrology have many things in common with the western astronomy and astrology. For example, the West uses a zodiac of 12 constellations from Aries to Pisces. India also uses a zodiac (rASi cakram) of 12 constellations (rASis), with mEsham to mInam, with meanings of the constellations, also similar. For example pisces means fish. MInam also means fish. This is because of their having a common origin.

We have to keep in mind constellations in zodiac (రాశిచక్రంలో రాశులు) are imaginary areas/points along the path of Sun's journey (sun does not travel. Earth travels). Only difference between a National Highway or a Grand Trunk Railway, and the zodiac is: zodiac is circular. Indian Railways and Indian Roadways are not circular. For example, if we take Delhi to Chennai railway line as zodiac, Delhi as aries, Agra, Madhura, Jhansi, Gwalior, Bhopal, Itarsi, Nagpur, Wardha, Kajipet, Vijayawada, Gudur will be the other constellations such as Taurus, Jemini.

Thousands of years back, the starting points of Aries in the West, and the mEsham in India, and in the West were same. Owing to some celestial phenomenon, the starting point of Aries changed slightly every year, and the West changed it from time to time. Some Indian astrologers in India have not noted these changes and alter their starting point of aries. Consequently, the starting point of Indian astronomers/astrologers who didn't make the starting point of their aries, come up with their almanacs which have different calculations, variance being around 15 days. When Jawaharlal Nehru was our First Prime Minister, some scientific astronomers might have brought it to his notice, and he seems to have instructed the Ministries to adopt the Western modern calculations of ephemeral tables, using the data of NASA. These tables might have got reflected in Lahiri method. It will, therefore, be in the fitness of things, for all Indian astronomers to follow GOI calendar, and the ephemeral tables published by the Government of India.

Godavari River Pushkarams are celebrated when Jupiter (guru or brihaspati in Sanskrit) enters the constellation Leo (Simham).

We have seen above, that the point of commencement of Aries, and the other 11 constellations vrishabham, mithunam, karkatakam, simham, kanya, tula, vrischikam, dhanus, makaram, kumbham, minam, (these are all names of imaginary places/areas in sky on the illusary path of Sun's journey along the zodiac) are in variance with the world calculations. Not only Indian zodiac is imaginary, even the world zodiac is imaginary. రాశి చక్రము అనేదే ఒక భ్రమ, భ్రాంతి. సూర్యుడి చుట్టూ తిరుగుతున్నది భూమి. సూర్యుడు, గ్రహాలు ఏవో రాశులలో ప్రవేశిస్తున్నాయి అనుకోటం ఒక భ్రమ.

Planets are in Solar System, nearer to us in comparison to stars. Constellations are star heaps, hundreds of light years distance away from us. There is no question of Jupiter entering Leo, or leaving Leo. They are all illusions.

Pushkaralu were apparently used by Indian Priests to make some supplementary income every 12 years. Hence, stories seems to have been woven around them.

In 21st Century India, Government Contractors are using pushkarams to make millions of quick bucks, as pushkara public works are taken up and completed in a hurry, and nobody inspect their quantity, quality properly. Else, how can they live?

"...పుష్కర కాలం క్రితం తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమం మొదలైనప్పుడు కేసీఆర్‌కు సొంత మీడియా లేదు కదా! ఇప్పుడు వారు ఆంధ్రా మీడియాగా నిందిస్తున్న పత్రికలు, చానెళ్లు ఉద్యమ వార్తలను ప్రచురించి, ప్రసారం చేశాయి. ఈ విషయంలో ‘ఆంధ్రజ్యోతి’ మిగతావారి కంటే ముందుండేది. ఇప్పుడు మమ్మల్ని నిందిస్తున్న కేసీఆర్‌, ఒకప్పుడు ఉద్యమానికి దన్నుగా నిలిచిన ‘ఆంధ్రజ్యోతి’ని అభినందించారు. అంతెందుకు, ‘తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమాన్ని మోస్తున్నది ‘ఆంధ్రజ్యోతి’ పత్రిక ఒక్కటే! ఆ పత్రికను మేనేజ్‌ చేస్తే ఉద్యమానికి ఊతం ఉండదు’ అని జస్టిస్‌ శ్రీకృష్ణ కమిటీ తన నివేదికలో పేర్కొన్న విషయం వాస్తవం కాదా? అనుమానం ఉన్నవాళ్లు ఆ నివేదికను చూసి తెలుసుకోవచ్చు. ఒకప్పటి ఉద్యమ నాయకుడైన కేసీఆర్‌ ఇప్పుడు తెలంగాణ ముఖ్యమంత్రి అయ్యారు. అధికారంలోకి రాగానే నాయకుల స్వభావాలు మారిపోతాయి. ఉద్యమ సమయంలో ఇంపుగా అనిపించినవి, ఇప్పుడు కంపుగా అనిపిస్తాయి. ఆనాడు తనకు సొంత మీడియా లేదు కనుక ఆంధ్రా మీడియానే ఆలింగనం చేసుకున్నారు. ఇప్పుడు సొంత మీడియా ఉంది కనుక ఇతర మీడియా సంస్థలు ఉండకూడదని కోరుకుంటున్నారు. ఇందులో వ్యాపార ప్రయోజనం మినహా తెలంగాణ ప్రయోజనం ఎక్కడ ఉంది? రాష్ట్ర విభజనను సమర్థిస్తూ, కాంగ్రెస్‌ పార్టీ వర్కింగ్‌ కమిటీ నిర్ణయం తీసుకున్న రోజే దాన్ని స్వాగతించిన ‘ఆంధ్రజ్యోతి’ తెలంగాణకు వ్యతిరేకం ఎట్లా అవుతుంది? రాష్ట్ర విభజనను వ్యతిరేకించిన జగన్మోహన్‌ రెడ్డి మీడియా తెలంగాణ చుట్టం ఎలా అవుతుంది?..."

గతంలో ప్రెస్ కౌన్సిల్ సూచించినట్లుగా పత్రికలు, టీవీ ఛానెళ్ళు వార్తలను యథాతథంగా ప్రచురించి, ఆ వార్తలపై తమ వ్యాఖ్యలను విడిగా బాక్స్ కట్టి ప్రచురించటమో, ఒక అడ్డగీత గీసిన తరువాత విడిగా ఇంకో రంగు సిరాతో లేక ఇటాలిక్స్ లో లేక చిన్న ఫాంట్ లేక భిన్నమైన ఫాంట్ లో ప్రచురిస్తే , ప్రజలకు వాస్తవాలు ఏవో, పత్రికాధిపతుల స్వంత అభిప్రాయాలు ఏవో స్పష్టంగా అర్ధం అయ్యేది. హైదరాబాద్ నుండి వచ్చే రెండు అగ్ర దినపత్రికలు అక్కడ స్థిర పడ్డ ఆంధ్ర యజమానుల చేతిలో ఉండటంతో వారు తమ కార్యాలయాలను, ఇతర వ్యాపారాలను, ఆస్తులను, కెసీ ఆర్ చేత రెచ్చగొట్ట బడ్డ గుంపులనుండి రక్షించుకోటానికి, తాము నిష్పక్షపాతంగా ఉన్నట్లుగా నిరూపించుకోటానికి , ఆ రెండు పత్రికలో తమ పల్లకిలో ఒక పక్క కెసీఆర్ ను, ఇంకో పక్క కోదండరాం నూ కూర్చో పెట్టుకుని, పెళ్ళికొడుకునూ, పెళ్ళికూతురునూ, పల్లకీలో కూర్చోపెట్టి ఊరేగించినట్లుగా, తాము బోయీలుగా మారి మోసాయి. పత్రికలు ఉచితంగా మోస్తామంటే వారెందుకు కాదంటారు ?

కెసీఆర్ & కో, కోదండ రాంలు, గద్దర్, కేశవరావు మొ|| నేతలు తెలంగాణ ప్రజలను వివిధ పధ్ధతులలో రెచ్చకొడుతున్నప్పుడు, వారు చేస్తున్నది తప్పని ఆరెండు పత్రికలు ఎందుకు వారికి చెప్పలేకపోయాయి. వాళ్ళ మెహర్బానీల కోసం తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమంలో జరిగిన అక్రమాలను, తప్పుడు వ్యాఖ్యలను, దాడులను, హింసలను అన్నిటినీ యథాతథంగా రిపోర్టు చేసి, తమ అభిప్రాయమేదో విడిగా ప్రత్యేక కాలంలలో లేక ప్రత్యేక పేజీలలో, పత్రికలు తెలంగాణ ప్రజలకు తెలియ చెప్పకుండా, కెసీఆర్ తమని ఆలింగనం చేసుకోగానే ముఖాన్ని చేటంత చేసుకోటం, కెసీఆర్ చెప్పేవాటిని ప్రజలు నమ్మేలాగా చేయటంలో తాము కూడ భాగస్వాములు కావటం, నాటి పత్రికల స్వార్ధ పూరిత వైఖరికి నిదర్శనం. తమ వ్యాపార ప్రయోజనాలు పత్రికాధిపతులు చూసుకుంటే, తమ అధికార ప్రయోజనాలు తెలంగాణ రాజకీయ నేతలు చూసుకున్నారు. అయితే ఈ విషయంలో నేను వారిని తప్పు పట్ట తలుచుకోలేదు. తమ మనుగడ కోసం వారీ పని చేయటం అనివార్యం.

ఫలితంగా నష్టపోయింది ఎవరంటే, సీమాంధ్ర ప్రజలు. హైదరాబాదులో ఉమ్మడి ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ ప్రభుత్వాలు, కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం, పెట్టిన పెట్టుబడులను అన్నిటినీ తెలంగాణ నేతలు తమ హస్తగతం చేసుకోటానికి ఆరెండు పత్రికలు తోడ్పడినట్లయింది. దుర్యోధనుడికి కర్ణుడు చూపిన స్వామి భక్తినే ఆరెండు పత్రికలూ చూపాయి, చూపిస్తున్నాయి, ఇంక ముందు కూడ చూపించబోతున్నాయి. కెసీఆర్ అనుగ్రహం కోసం ఆ పత్రికాధిపతులు పరితపించి పోతున్నారు. ఈసందర్భంగా పరస్పర కుచమర్దనాలు జరిగాయి కానీ, అప్పుడప్పుడైనా జరగాల్సిన సంభోగాలే జరగటం లేదు. అవి జరిగితే కొంత కాలమైనా వారికి సంభోగానంతర సుఖ సంతోషాలు లభిస్తాయి. అదే జరగటం లేదు.

పెట్టుబడిదారీ విధానంలో, తమకు ఏది లాభసాటిగా కనిపించి, ఏది తమ ఆస్తుల విధ్వంసానికి దారితీయదో దానిని పెట్టుబడిదారులు చేయటం అది ఒక పెట్టుబడిదారీ మీడియా వికారం. పెట్టుబడిదారీ విధానాన్ని నిర్మూలించినప్పుడు పెట్టుబడిదారీ పత్రికలను తీసివేయటం జరిగేదాకా మనకి పెట్టుబడిదారీ పత్రికల బెడద తప్పదు.

తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమానికి వ్యతిరేకంగా నాటి పత్రికలు , టీవీలు ప్రచారం చేసి ఉండాలని నేను వ్రాయటం లేదు. తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమాన్ని సమర్ధిస్తూ, విడిగా ప్రత్యేక వ్యాసాలు | సంపాదకీయాల్లో సక్రమ మార్గంలో తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమం నడవటానికి పత్రికలు, టీవీలు తగిన సలహాలు ఇచ్చి ఉంటే, రాష్ట్ర విభజన మెరుగైన పధ్ధతులలో జరిగి ఉండేది. అపుడు సెక్షన్ 8 యొక్క అవసరమే ఉండేది కాదు. హైదరాబాదులోని సంస్థల విభజనపై ఇంత ఘోరమైన కుమ్ములాటలు జరిగేవి కావు. ఆ రెండు పత్రికలు, పనిగట్టుకొని కెసీఆర్ ను అతిగా సమర్ధించినందు వల్ల, తెలంగాణ కాంగ్రెస్ నేతలు, తెలంగాణ టీడీపీ నేతలు, బీజేపీ నేతలు, తాము అసమర్ధులైన మితవాదులులాగా, వాజమ్మలలాగా కనపడకూడదనుకొని, వారు కెసీఆర్ తో సమానంగా సీమాంధ్ర ప్రజలను తిట్టటం ద్వారా తాము తెలంగాణ ప్రజల మెప్పును కెసీఆర్ కన్నా అధికంగా పొందవచ్చనుకుని అందరూ వోవర్ యాక్షన్ లోకి దిగారు.

ఫలితంగా కేంద్రంలోని అఖిల భారత నేతలకు కూడ దిక్కుతోచని పరిస్థితులు ఏర్పడ్డాయి. వారు కూడ అత్యుత్సాహం చూపించి, తమ రాజకీయ స్వార్ధాలకు అనుగుణంగా, లోక్ సభలో దౌర్జన్యకర పధ్ధతుల ద్వారా విభజన బిల్లుకి ఆమోదం పొందారు. రాజ్యసభలో తప్పుడు హామీలను గుప్పించారు. దురదృష్ట వశాత్తు సీమాంధ్ర నేతల అనైక్యత వల్ల, సీమాంధ్ర ప్రజలు అత్యధికంగా నష్టపోయారు.

ఆరెండు తెలుగు పత్రికల మెయిన్ పేజీలు, ఇతర ముఖ్య తెలుగు, ఇంగ్లీషు అన్ని పత్రికల మెయిన్ పేజీలు, హైదరాబాదులో కంపోజ్ అవుతూ ఉండటంతో, సీమాంధ్ర ప్రజల తరఫున వాదించే మీడియానే లేకపోయింది. 1966 కు ముందు ఉన్నట్లుగా , తెలుగు దిన పత్రికల ప్రధాన కార్యాలయాలు, మెయిన్ పేజీలు విజయవాడలో కంపోజ్ అయి ఉంటే, తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమాన్ని వీపున పెట్టుకుని మోసేవాళ్ళా. పత్రికలు, ప్రధాన కార్యాలయాలు హైదరాబాదుకు తరలి వెళ్ళటం, టీవీ ఛానెళ్ళన్నీ హైదరాబాద్ లోనే ప్రారంభం అయ్యి అక్కడే కేంద్రీకృతమై ఉండటం, వాళ్ళ ఆస్తులు, పెట్టుబడులు అన్నీ హైదరాబాదులో ఉండటం, ఇవి అన్నీ సీమాంధ్ర ప్రజల దౌర్భాగ్యానికి కారణం.

అదే సంపాదకీయం, తరువాత లైన్లలో.

"...నిజానికి ఏ మీడియా కూడా ఒక ప్రాంత ప్రజల ప్రయోజనాలకు విరుద్ధంగా వ్యవహరించలేదు. వ్యవహరిస్తే మనుగడ సాగించలేదు..."

తాము తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమాన్ని కెసీఆర్ ను, కోదండ రామ్ ను, గద్దర్ ను వీపు మీద పెట్టుకుని మోస్తున్నప్పడు, తాము తెలంగాణ ప్రాంత ప్రజల ప్రయోజనాలకు అనుకూలంగానూ, సీమాంధ్ర ప్రజల ప్రయోజనాలకు విరుధ్ధంగా వ్యవహరిస్తున్నట్లు ఈ పత్రికలు, ఛానెళ్ళు ఎందుకు గ్రహించలేదు ?

తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమం యొక్క మూలాలు హైదరాబాదులో ఖాళీ స్థలాలకోసం, విలువైన రియల్ ఎస్టేట్ ఆస్తులకొరకు, తెలంగాణ పెట్టుబడిదారులకు, సీమాంధ్ర పెట్టుబడిదారులకు, ఇతరరాష్ట్రాల పెట్టుబడిదారులకు, ప్రవాస ఎన్ ఆర్ అయి పీఐఓ పెట్టుబడిదారులకు, మరియు విదేశీ పెట్టుబడిదారులకు జరిగిన కుమ్ములాట అని పత్రికలు, మీడియాకు తెలిసి కూడ, తెలంగాణ ప్రజలకు, సీమాంధ్ర ప్రజలకు, సత్యాన్ని ఎందుకు చెప్పలేదు ? ఎందుకంటే, తాము కూడ తిలా పాపం తలా పిడికెడు అన్నట్లుగా ఆ పాప ఫలాలను తింటున్నారు కనుక.

ఇలాంటి పరిస్థితులు కేవలం హైదరాబాదులోనే కాదు దేశంలో పెద్దనగరాలన్నిటిలో రాబోతున్నాయి. నగరాలకు అతిప్రధాన్యం ఇచ్చి, స్మార్ట్ సిటీలు, మెగా సిటీలు మొ|| పేర్లు పెట్టి వాటిని అతిగా అభివృధ్ధి చేస్తున్నంత కాలం నిరుద్యోగులు అక్కడికి వలసపోక తప్పదు. వారు ఏదో ఒక బ్రతుకు తెరువును సంపాదించుకున్నాక చిన్న చిన్న ఇళ్ళను , అపార్టుమెంట్లను కొనటానికి ప్రయత్నించక తప్పదు. ఇది ఒక మానవ హక్కు. దీనిని శివసేన వాళ్ళు కానీ, తెలంగాణ వాళ్ళు గానీ , ఇంకోళ్ళు గానీ, ఇంకోళ్ళుగానీ ఆపటానికి ప్రయత్నిస్తే దేశ విభజనకే దారితీసే పరిస్థితులు ఏర్పడతాయి.

మేము నగరాలను అభివృధ్ధి చేయటం మానం, గ్రామాలను, చిన్న పట్టణాలను పాడు పెట్టటం మానం, అని బూర్జువా పార్టీలు అనుకుంటే, కేంద్ర పాలకులైన బూర్జువా పార్టీలు 20 లక్షలు దాటిన ప్రతి నగరాన్నీ కేంద్ర పాలిత ప్రాంతంగా ప్రకటించటమే, వెర్రితలలు వేస్తున్న ప్రాంతీయవాదానికి విరుగుడు.

536 News Round up खबरों के दौर వార్తా సంచారం

Question प्रश्न ప్రశ్న 1. Is Mr. KCR is greater than Lord Srikrishna? क्या कॆसीआर साहॆब भगवान श्री कृष्ण से अधिक है। కె సీ ఆర్ ప్రభువు శ్రీకృష్ణ పరమాత్ముడి కన్నా అధికుడా?


Ans:
Appears to be. In post No. 535 , I have quoted 15th Century Telugu poet, MahabhAgavata's author Bammera PotanAmAtya's verse, which described the worries of Kuchela, about the possibility of his not getting admitted into the court of Lord Krishna. I shall repeat the verse:

ద్వారకానగరంబు నేరీతి జొత్తును భాసు రాంతఃపురవాసి యైన య ప్పుండరీకాక్షు నఖిలేశు నెబ్భంగి దర్శింపగలను దద్ద్వారపాలుకేమైన బరిదాన మిచ్చి చొచ్చెద నన్న నూహింప నర్థశూన్యుండ నేను.

Latin Script: dvArakA nagarambun E rIti cottunu bhAsurAntahpura vAsi aina
appunDarIkAkshun akhilESun ebhbhangi darSimpa galanu
tat dvArapAlu kEmaina paridAna micci
coccedan annan Uhimpan ardha SUnyunDan nEnu.

English Gist: How shall enter the City of Dwaraka? How can I see that punDarikAksha and the ruler of this Universe, who resides in his glorious gynaesium? To consider the idea of giving some bribe/gift to the gate-keepers and pass through the gates, I am a person who does not have money!

The plight of the 21st Century kucEla is worse than the Potana's kucEla. She is a widowed young woman from Jagatyal Mandal, Karimnagar District, Telangana State. Karimnagar District is the original native District of the 21st Century Telangana Sultan K. Chandrasekhara Rao. Jagatial is not a place unknown to Mr. K. Chandrasekhara Rao.

First, I must express my sincere gratitude to the TV channel (name of the Channel, I have forgotten by my negligence), which has shown the footage of the miserable plight of this widowed woman, with her daughters. (In a similar condition, a woman with two children in Bapatla, cut herself into pieces by keeping her head under a moving train! Residual A.P. Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu has not time to foresee such contingencies because he is busy selling liquor in Tetra packs through Malls!).

(In his last birth (before becoming a politician), Mr. Chandrasekhara Rao is reported to have worked as an agent for sending laborers to Gulf countries, and even said to have cheated some people. This aspect was for their own convenience ignored by Late Shri N.T. Rama Rao, and Shri Chandra Babu Naidu, and Shri KCR was encouraged with good posts from time to time, including a Cabinet slot. I believe that this aspect was pointed out by Mr. Motkupalli Narasimhulu, T-TDP leader. Had this case been entrusted to CBI long back, people of Telangana might have been saved of the travails of being instigated by a loose-mouthed leader.)

Now what is the problem of our 21st Century kucEla, this recently widowed lady? Her husband was a laborer who went to Saudi Arabia for livelihood few months back. Within one month of his joining in the new job, before drawing his first salary, he died in a road accident in Saudi Arabia. His corpse is lying in a mortuary in Saudi Arabia. His dead body is to be brought back to India for his last rites. At home, he has left a debt of Rs. 200,000/-, and two young children, who do not know what has befallen to their dad. His woman is also, owing to her misery, sobbing, having lost her beloved husband.

She has been running from pillar to post begging every employee and politician in Telangana State Government , to come to her rescue by arranging to get the mortal remains of her husband from Saudi Arabia to India. But nobody was even listening. Probably every Government employee and politician in Telangana is busy driving out the Andhra People from Hyderabad, that they have no time to listen to the hardships of a suffering woman.

CM OF TS VISITED HIS OFFICE AT SECRETARIAT ONLY FOR 4 DAYS OUT OF LAST 29 DAYS!

Mr. K. Chandrasekhara Rao, out of last 29 days period, is reported to have attended the Secretariat only for four days. Remaining 25 days what was he doing? He is, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, reported to be taking rest in his Farm House in the outskirts of the City, taking care of his nearly 60 acre GINGER GARDEN. The TV Channel has shown a video of Mr. Rao relaxing in his ginger field. The Channel has also reported that mediamen have been kept at a distance of two kilometers from his farmhouse. Why Mr. KCR is afraid of Media persons approaching near his farmhouse?

STOPPING MEDIA PERSONS AT 2 KM. DISTANCE FROM CM'S FARMHOUSE! NOT SOME 100 METERS

If media persons are stopped 2 kms. from CM's farmhouse, where the common people will be stopped? 10 kilometers distance? Obviously, this widowed woman, carrying her two children on her shoulders, from Jagatiyal might have tried to meet Mr. KCR at his Secretariat Chamber. Since he went there only for 4 days out of 29 days, she might have tried to meet him at his farmhouse. I do not know whether she had tried and whether she was driven away by guards! This 21st Century Kuchela woman too does not have money to bribe the gatekeepers.

Fortunately, some wellwisher might have guided her to the Office of the Human Rights Commission, She might have submitted her representation there. Let us see what will happen.

15 DEAD BODIES OF TELANGANA WORKERS LYING IN GULF

This widowed woman's case, according to the TV channel is not a stray or a sole instance of sufferings of the Telangana people. There are at least 15 dead bodies of Telangana workers lying in the mortuaries of Gulf countries. The bodies were said to be lying there for the last one and half years! Now, can we gauge the agony of the relatives of the dead laborers!

The apathy of Indian Embassies in Gulf countries towards movement of India dead bodies from Gulf to India (said to be around 7,000 in number) is understandable. Indian Embassies in these countries seem to be suffering from shortages. Besides, their priorities might have changed under the new dispensation of the NDA Government.

The same TV channel has highlighted the plight of the child laborers, women laborers, migrant laborers from Orissa, working as bonded laborers in brick kilns of Telangana.
Question प्रश्न ప్రశ్న Should the employees and laborers of Telangana work for 365 days of the year?

Answer जवाब జవాబు Apparently. Reason: Telangana Government has issued a notification that Shops and Establishments in Telangana can work for 365 days in a year! There will be no need of weekly holidays! This notification is said to have been issued on a representation from some Mall Owners Association. Did the Telangana Government consult the Labor Unions before issuing the Notification? Our 21st Century Nizam will not consult anybody. Then what the Communist leaders of Telangana doing? Did they condemn the action of the Telangana Government, at least when they saw the news of the notification in newspapers? CPI leader, Mr. Narayana, may be busy, munching chicken.

Why the family of Mr. K. Chandrasekhara Rao (+Harish Rao, KTR, Kavita) does not have any time to look into the problems of the poor and the laborers?

Answer जवाब జవాబు Answer for this, only the ginger plants and the walls of KCR's farmhouse know!
