India -Race of Economic Imperialism -Gross National Happiness

 


Green leaves and red leaves are beautiful with togetherness just as the beautiful horizon of East and West.

Romain Rolland- “If there is one place on the face of the earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India. For more than 30 centuries, the tree of vision, with all its thousand branches and their millions of twigs, has sprung from this torrid land, the burning wombs of Gods. It renews itself tirelessly showing no signs of decay.”

Like a torch passed from runner to runner, the idea of globalization and Multi-National Corporations has been passed from one nation to another, each carrying it further towards the goal of conquering the universe in terms of economic imperialism. It was once said that the sun never set on the shore of the British Empire. Today the sun does set on the British Empire but not on the shores of the global corporate empires... These MNCs are otherwise known as Transnational Corporations (TNCs), Global Companies, the Cosmo Corps, and so on.

MNCs have created a very good platform for market scenarios where profit maximization is the sole goal. The trap of MNCs has percolated at the grassroots level where profit maximization is overshadowed. GDP has increased satisfactorily. Then why is it so that, in the era of artificial intelligence and technological upheaval, people seek the need for emotional intelligence? These changes in work dynamics have somehow collapsed the Indian Family values and the indigenous cultural values. We are insufficient to put light on the fine line of demarcation between the true value of feminine energy selfless love & nourishment versus fake feminism with ego-centric outlook.

It is our duty that our kids will not be pacified in the nasty trap of alcohol and drugs. Alcohol and drugs have become the new era of happiness and social status indicators. People depend on these intoxications and believe these are the new era social status symbols as the concept of heaven has collapsed. The game of feminism has bred the need for alcoholism which is in itself detrimental to future generations. The future kids will be less than us and is it not a crime against humanity? Change is good when it has some positive impact. But when it is detrimental to society it should be discarded as a rotten tooth which is harmful.

As both the parents are working in many houses and the support system is lacking it is very difficult to raise the children rather it is very easy to cultivate the child’s values by active involvement with them. Reproduction is not about manufacturing a child rather it is about nourishment and enhancing the true values of feminine energy. Rather than going to the malls, we may focus on going to explore nature. Complete involvement with them will bring them back from the distractions of Digital Addiction. Again, technology has its pros and cons. Long back in Indian families, the family members used to have quality time with each other. But these days people see their mobiles as their wake-up prayers. Human communication is limited due to the advent of social media communication platforms i.e., Facebook and Instagram, etc. Young mothers provide the new-era kids with smartphones to feed them food as they find it easier. The patience level has also deteriorated as compared to the ancient generation of mothers.

The big cities in India have given birth to two aspects. For me, the cleanliness of the developed nations or the first world countries and kids being very independent & self-sufficient are good dimensions of the West, that I observed during my visit. In the giant cities of economically developed cities in India, the cleanliness is not up to the mark. Here People throw wastage in from of schools and beside the road which is very unhygienic and unhealthy. I believe this aspect is lacking here if we want to grasp good potentials & dimensions of the West. There is a faculty of conscience that our Indian culture is the best when we care for and respect our elders by touching their feet and being grounded to the earth. When we lower our heads toward the ground, we destroy our ego and ignorance. Now these aspects are eradicated. I believe these are very unique and should be there with our kids by cultivating their heritage.

In my closing lines, I would rather be optimistic about the beautiful, rationalized conglomeration of the East and West as once said by Swami Vivekananda is the real value of development. Moreover, if I love and respect my mother first then I dare to respect all women in the world as we are the citizen of the universe when we are the citizen of our country first.


GDP Verses GDH

 


These days people don’t usually believe in the situations, other people easily. Yes why not this is the age where Machiavelli exits in the last phase of the cosmic Hindu age which works in the process of vicious circle . Fear, Stress, anxiety is increasing in the globe vehemently. Standard of living is increasing as GDP is increasing but the quality of life is increasing at the same pace or not that is a remarkable question.

Great economist Geoffrey Crowther has correctly said that every branch of knowledge has its fundamental discovery in science fire, in politics the vote, in mechanics the wheel, similarly in economics to the whole commercial side of man’s social existence money is the essential invention on which all the rest is based.

Big cities are flourishing where opportunity for employment is great. MNCs are the output of economic imperialism. MNCs are the Cosmo-corps which is responsible for the foreign direct investment between the developing and developed countries. It is the quality of life that should be taken into account. But in reality people are struggling to take pollution free air to breath which in the basic essential for humans. Big cities are becoming very dirty day by day where the impact of irradicating the dirt is not up to the mark. It becomes the Pandora’s Box for illness, diseases which spreads the nook and corner of the so called great cities. Deforestation are in the rapid pace to construct hubristic building for making a concrete jungle.

As development means growth plus welfare, so it is very important to increase the quality of life of people so that the Gross Domestic Happiness{GDH} will have a glorified impact on the civilization.


Beautiful & Ugly Trap Of Karma

 


The trap of karma will not escape anyone. Everything is predestined according to the karmic account. No one has ever escape from the rule of Karma. Let's see the example of the great king of Macedonia Alexander the great who wanted to be the undisputed emperor of the universe. He would have also but he became severely ill when he was 32 years old. Before his death he commanded his servers to show his both hands to the world that he could not carry a penny with him. Who stopped his ambition? It is the bad karma of the past which stood in front of him.

So basically there are 3 types of karma. First is the present karma, which we do the deeds in this present life-time and get the result in this life time. Second is the Stored Karma Or the seed Karma which acts as a saving deposits. We do it in the present incarnation but is deposited in the savings account and ready to with-draw. Third is the Prarabdha Karma or the Destined Karma is that portion of the accumulated karma of the previous lifetime which is ready to get fructify in the present incarnation according to the eastern philosophies especially Hinduism and Buddhism. There is an escape from the first two karmas but there is no escape from Prarabdha completely. It will not let the meditative acetic of the highest level and the seeds of the previous bad karma will come out from him. Such is the impact of Prarabdha. But God Srikrisnha says to Arjun in the Bhagbat Geeta in the 18th chapter, 66th sloka that if you will completely surrender to me, I will make you free from your past deeds and bondage. This is the mysterious sloka which has many mythological deep insight. In the Shiv Puran,Sage Markendaya was destined to die at a very young age. But He did complete surrender to the Almighty. When the god of death approached him the Lord Shiva Himself descended and save his cute devotee. He granted him the boon of immorality.


True Development

 


MNCs are undoubtedly the instruments of economic growth. It was once said that the sun never set on the British Empire. Today, the sun does set on the British Empire, but not on the shores of global corporate empire.

Real Growth=Development +Welfare.

The trap of longitude and latitude, which is the “coordinate,” separates the near and the dear one for a better standard of living, sometimes for a long span of time. We can never be consumed by the trap of longitude and latitude (a geographical grid/graticule), which is a clever game of MNCs for economic growth. I don’t deny the positive impact of MNCs on the developing and developed countries. But let not the dirty wildness percolate, rather the calmness of the mind intensify to the grass root level. The broader picture of tranquility of the mind is in the circumference of GDH, Gross Domestic Happiness. It is different from GDP-Gross Domestic Product, which definitely important for an economy's success. But at the same time the focus should be on GDH also which should not be absolutely abandoned.

In the modern era of time cycle we are in the Kali Yuga meaning the Dark Age of a Hindu cosmic cycle. The primary responsibility of individuals here is to have victory over the six implicit enemy like-lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, jealousy. So that we can have an ideal family in the micro picture and indeed a beautiful prosperous society in the macro picture.


Best Is Yet To Come

 

My own journey becomes a vehicle

Towards the magnificent enlightened article

As the glow-worm dives in the fire,

He is the whole, I am the particle

We are heading to that one destination

Some have slow, some have high acceleration

Who realizes the journey’s velocity

Who are self-realized and connected spiritually

As earth’s electrifying magnetic field

Attracts sunray’s emitted charged particles

which forms the colorful shield

Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis

Likewise to attract that Divine Grace

My mind is that magnet ,

For mean thoughts, there is no place

Vastness of the great void, how to celebrate!

So despite the illusionary pain

Going to have a great gain.


Deeds Are Accountable

 


I am the unstoppable

Within by bosom is the celestial fire

He is the one who is impeccable

Despite having the pain of the karmic wire

Trapped by the karmic account

Each soul’s journey connects to that amount

Bad deeds determines pain

Good deeds glorifies positive gain

Now I definitely make out

Think twice before doing as no doubt

Spread vibrant positivity

Adore, admire, love humanity

Humanity is the one religion

Love is the one language

God’s highest form of creation

Let’s make an Eldorado and a golden age


Somewhere from a Countryside

 


Visualizing from the horizon the wild city

Nature is at its zenith

It’s a heavenly reality or a myth

Nature has its own serene tranquility

And it has a beautiful remedy,

Method of self-intoxication, best therapy

When God created the universe

Milky way, galaxies, blackhole in the cosmos

And our globe, its vast water bodies, altitude

Void- null sky, land, mountain, plain and plateau

Within the earth, many canvas

The flora and fauna,

The bold green forest, green grass

Also the method of photosynthesis

As leaf is the kitchen and storage

Providing the oxygen for the breathing process

The ultimate dramatist’s brilliant message

Grow plants, do afforestation

Otherwise chaos ,anarchy of natural circumference

Occurs ,save mankind, so oppose deforestation.


Mirages and Oases

 

I will never look back that

As even God cannot change the past

But the seeds of the deeds of the past

Momentum it will gain and it will last

His grace can make you aware

Save you and make you beware

A saying, “Go with the flow

Change is the only constant, we must learn to grow

I was unable to make out

The dynamics of the murmuring brook

And of the visiting sea ,phases of a life-book

The chapters resemble

Journeying by a train, in phase

Each morning the life-sun

Born again with vibrant fun

Mirages are many, none cannot quench my thirst

Searching for that Oasis, forever to last.

Lotus-Feet of Almighty


Ego-The shield


I thought I did the action

Realization of the ego-centric self-consciousness

Percolating from the inner-self -what is the illusion

As if it is done by the cosmic-consciousness

As a blade of grass

Is a divinely painted green lace

In this fictitious race

If the wind blows; His divine grace

My deeds are the reason

For the fructification of the action

The beautiful and ugly result

I think what I have done-and became a revolt

As the chicks come out from the egg-shells

Fructification of past life deeds

And that never ever forbids

Trickles down even from the meditative Yogi, where it dwells

How is the escape from the trap

Mystery of the divine grace; within His grasp

The Fearless

 


I purchased an eyeshadow palate on which Fearless was written. I pondered about the word. In India, it is known as Abhay. Bhay means fear and “a” gives a negation. That is fearless. Fearlessness is a unique attribute. God is the fearless one. In Sikhism, He is the truth, formless and He is the one who does not discriminate. Nobody can disturb His truth, peace, and his faith. Truth is God.

I pondered about my childhood about how much I was fearful as I saw a fierce idol of Goddess Kali /the Goddess of Time & Death {Hinduism} in our neighbor’s home. I was accompanied by my mother to their place as she was busy talking with the people who were Bengalis, I went to explore the nook and corner of the new place. I went to the puja room {room for worship}and saw the Goddess Kali. I bowed on the ground and was shivering with fear, then came running to my mother’s lap with panic. Later I understood that she is a divine mother, the divine energy of the God or the Yogamaya. Shankaracharya {the founder of Hinduism and re-established the faith in the Vedas} said that there is only one entity Braham. The world is nonexistent. The soul is Braham. He defeated Veda Vyasa who authored the Great Indian Epic of the Mahabharata. When he was traveling to Kashi with his disciples and while going to the Manikarnika Ghat to bathe, he came across a lady with his dead husband in her lap and she did not move. When was told to move she came in her original form. She is the embodied Divine power of God. God and his Divine power are the same. She is the reason for the creation and destruction.

I have heard in the Shiv Purana when God Shiv has been depicted and compared to a grand fire bar. Nobody can recognize the starting point and ending point of the fire bar. Just like the tiny fire particles in the grand fire bar and water drops in the vast water body are part and parcel of it, similarly, we are part of the divine.

Mahabharat: When Bhishma was about to vanquish the Pandava and their army in the Kurukshetra, despite his vows Lord Krishna became furious. He, the most eminent kinetic engineer holds the wheel instead of the Sudarshan disk with uncontrollable RPM. Instead of the vow not to hold a weapon, he did it to save his Partha {beloved devotee} and to show the world that for the sake of righteousness, difficult steps are taken into account.

When there is a complete surrender, He is enslaved by the pure divine love of the devotee. All the burdens are on the Cosmic Energy. Neither the enemy nor the negative energy can harm the devotee. This is also Abhay meaning Fearless. Isn’t it?


My Cosmic Voyage


Life is like many long voyages

What a great magnificent journey!

I feel I sail here for ages

I born again and again, who knows the gateway-key!

The calmness of the Sea

As life’s pacific phase, I can see

Deep I dive and exhilarated

But the time-travel of roaring forties

Screaming fifties and furious sixties

Are like life’s dangerous phases

The stormy and disturbing elements

Where to gain divine personification

Patience, perseverance & the bold dimension

In the golden sea-shore,

The visiting waves are like

Where the co-passenger

meet up and depart as it looks like

And Lord you are the cosmic dramatist

Who holds me firmly in my life-boat.


Light a Diya- Strengthens Positivity Within

 

Every night we die and every morning we are born again. This is the process of life as it rises and sets, accelerating the day and night related to life and death. Each morning we wake up and that itself is a great thing. So ignite the day by lightening a Diya with ghee or gingelly oil which is the firry and vibrating source of light that brightens the day. It brings positivity and goodwill to the home environment. This is what a house lady does in India. She is the domestic goddess in the true sense of the term who is responsible for providing positivity and good vibrations for the family in a micro form which has a magnificent impact in the macro essence. That is reflected when we as the domestic goddesses ignite the essence of keeping alive that celestial fire -grand Diya inside our bosom with a touch of divinity. That helps to provide positivity and colorful vibrations to light the day with love, music, and aesthetics which always overshadows the economics-money factor in the true sense of the term.

Love for the family always reflects from this tiny essence of life to ignite the life-sun every day. Light a Diya in the true spirit in the micro-world which flourishes in the macro-world.

A Burning Time-Train In A Cosmic Journey

I am in  a burning train, but the passengers are not aware that the train is on fire. Some are enjoying and merry making. The others are grief-driven. We all are in the same train. But each is having a unique story to tell. Some tell it and the others hide it.Some think the concept of heaven has been collapsed. So let's have fun. This is the reason of the consumption of alcohol and having illicit relations to culminate the worldly pain by these sensual gains.  Others think that the train  is like a time vehicle going further to the Ultimate destination {Almighty} through many Last stations {Deaths }of each life carrying the karmic (deeds)accounts{vicious circle of life and death}.

I am from India. A country with rich culture which I will accept the unavoidable values of mine with utmost respect  but I will grasp the prosperity from the west as correctly said by Swami Vivekananda to achieve the real development of the globe. Love is the language of the globe. Humanity is the ultimate form and Almighty is one. No discrimination or diversion from it.Man has created the ugliness in it by creating Economics. Though I am a student of Economics and Business Studies I very well know the pros and cons or the advantages and disadvantages of the subject. Man has segregated the world between the haves and the have-nots.When we reach  last station then this will not matter that who was the rich and who was the poor.

Each is carrying their own karmic baggage. Your karmic baggage may be heavier than mine though it looks so attractive from my window.So I am fine with my cosmic journey with my own baggage.Let me accomplish my journey with dignity and aristocracy.



Enemies are not outside.My six great implicit enemies are intrinsic. Lust,Anger,Greed,Delusion,Pride, Jealousy .In my cosmic journey I am the best person to have complete control over my senses so that I can travel in the burning time-train to reach the ultimate destination via my last station.

Bengaluru Gripped by Dengue Outbreak -Welfare verses Growth

       


God created this beautiful earth, but man made it dirty by his constant ill-effects. India is no exception to this. People  clean their own homes but never hesitate to make it's surrounding dirty . As the eminent British author Ivor Thomas has correctly observed, "The prime fact of human nature which the wise statesman must take into account is that men will exert themselves for their own benefit, or for that of their families, regarded as an extension of themselves as they will exert themselves for no one else, in particular men are not prepared to work for their state or any other collectivity as they will work for themselves  or for their families. Perhaps this is a defect in human nature, but it is a fact, and the statesman ignore it at his peril."

All major cities have become polluted in India. Bengaluru is no exception to this. Bengaluru-the Silicon valley has become hub for the new era MNCs.It is once said that the sun never set on the British Empire. Today the sun does set on the British Empire, but not on the shores of global corporate empires. Urbanization and industrialization has increased the scope of growth .This growth has exerted pressure on the environment. The city is burning under the weight of pollution. Dengue spreads here due to stagnant water, poor sanitation and waste management, urban overcrowding. Dengue outbreaks in Bengaluru spike during the monsoon .This was declared an epidemic in Karnataka recently. This is not real growth. Real Development =Growth + Welfare

Bengaluru has witnessed a major dengue outbreak. Hospitals were overpopulated. Once upon a time the city was erupting with chaos, in turmoil, like a volcano. People were in a state of panic. There were many deaths. This is an annual occurrence. The government needs to take many steps for the welfare of the people. Reservoir water needs to be refreshed. The city needs better waste management practices including disposal of coconut shell and other things.

Is there a safe place where we can go and live without this fear. So an increasing number of people are shifting away from the crowed places to places of natural beauty.A home is a safe haven in the nature.There is a serine tranquility in nature.It is our responsibility to save it.

Care for the city and care for the globe -A Collective Consciousness
