ANCIENT INDIAN MANAGEMENT MESSAGES: VIDUROPADESA; None should be in our family who makes fun of scholars and tarnishes them. None should be in our family who denigrates the Vedic scholars. None should be in our family who has incurred the curse of their parent and forefathers. These type of people should not be allowed even to enter into our homes

SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGIICAL MESSAGE OF INDIA

Indian Journal of history of Science reports that the ancient 250 KG iron producing furnace had the same design as the modern 1000 ton iron producing furnaces. The furnace which were excavated in Kodumanal of TN could produce a temperature of 1300 C during that period ( remember there was no electricity or coal or coke during that period for producing such a high temperature. Today this high temperature is produced with electricity)

THIS WEEK MESSAGE:

When a king came to Lord Buddha and requested Buddha to give him deeksha for sanyaasa and accept him as Buddha’s disciple, Lord Buddha asked where are you coming from. The king said that he was coming from the battle field. The Buddha replied, go fight the war and win . then go your country and give your responsibility of the kingdom to a powerful hand and then come to me, I shall give you deeksha and accept you as my disciple. Ahimsa is not running away from the duty whomsoever you may be. Now we started thinking that keeping quite and doing nothing is ahimsa and noninterference.

A SERIOUS INFORMATION: A series of Christian schools in various parts of the country practice this method of cheating for creating faith in Jesus. When the school bus takes the students to picnic or tour, the driver stops the bus somewhere in a slope and tells the students, that the bus will not move further due to engine problem. Then the Christian nuns who accompany the students advise the students to pray their own god. The Hindu students start praying their god . The driver acts as though he is trying to start the bus. The driver acts that all the prayer fails and the engine does not start, The nuns and Christian teachers request the students let us all pray to Jesus, immediately the driver starts the bus. The nuns tell see the greatness of Jesus. Only when you prayed Jesus the engine was started. Keep praying to Jesus whenever you are in trouble only Jesus can save you none else give up all other prayers.

YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS ( YOUR QUESTIONS ON CASTE SYSTEMS CONTD). There are many politicians who fought against caste system. Is it not true? It was true when there was no elections. It is not true now because all these negatives are being done for winning the election by hooks and crooks ………. Did the Brahmins get more respect in the society in olden days? Impossible, the kings were known everywhere in the country and they were kshatriyas. The Vaisyas were widely known and respected and they used to travel many places. The sudras who were great painters, artists, sculptors were well known for their original contribution in Sthapathya Vedas and respected……….. like that the Brahmins who contributed for maintaining and nurturing the Vedas and other spiritual activities were also in the list of scholars and received respect like others……… what is your role in removing the caste system ? I know that the caste system cannot be removed from Indian or any other society in the world….. Then what should be done ? Remove the negatives of the caste system …….. like what / instead removing the body part when affected, cure the problems of the body part………. How are you curing the society ? Let the caste themselves protect their interest and let the group support each other wherever possible and where ever not possible to cooperate each other, let them work separately also for the benefit of their caste also. Can you give examples ! See in Kerala we have Nair caste working through NSS, Eezhava through SNDP. Pulayas through PMS, Nadars through NMJS, and so on fr betterment of their caste grou nicely and fantastic results are seen also. We work with them for educating their members and eradicating superstition. Sometimes just like we divide the school class into divisions and standards for easy and better teaching methods., Here we have already got divisions, use that like the school divisions………. Also support Amma’s , Satya Saibaba’s and Guruji’s, Chinmaya mission, and many other organization which focus on people from all walks of life without reminding them that they belong to different caste . Informing them that they are all equal and none is superior or inferior……… do like that. I assure you from our experience it will work. Among Hindu community the divide based on caste system is very less compared to the fight between different muslim group among themselves and different Christian groups among themselves for power, money and for converting each other to their castes.

BS Yediyurappa's Blog

Mr. Yediyurappa has started to write a blog in the IBN website.

His blog, True son of the soil, can be read at :

http://ibnlive.in.com/blogs/bsyeddyurappa/2423/53295/im-a-true-son-of-the-soil.html

In the comments some people have complained that there are so many "I" usage in his blog. ( such as I did that, I made Karnataka etc... ). In my opinion, there is nothing wrong in writing with the "I" factor in the blog by the CM, because HE DESERVES IT.
.

It is a fact that Yedi made history by bringing BJP to power in the south India. And this is not the time when one should judge his government. 4 months is too early for
such a verdict.

.

New Hindu temple opened in Hanover, Germany

This is a good sign. Eventhough there are thousands of hindus in and around germany,
I think they dont have a temple in the traditional manner. The pluralistic nature
of hinduism has to be spread in a big manner in throughout europe. Slowly germans and
the europeans will able to understand that hinduism is not a typical religion, but a way
of life...

See the details in Spiegel online.

ANCIENT INDIAN MANAGEMENT MESSAGES: VIDUROPADESA. : None should create hatred against others in our family. None should cheat others in our family. None should be in our family who is a responsible Govt official who takes bribe. None should be in our family who destroys our friends and friendship. None should be in our family who steals others property.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGIICAL MESSAGE OF INDIA: The iron produced in Maharjhari during 700 BC, Takalghat and Naikund showed that the percentage purity of the same is 99. 1 %, 99.6 % and 98.2 %. Producing such a level of purity in iron ingots even today is not that easy. This given a great exposure to us on the technology existed during then in iron production
THIS WEEK MESSAGE: India could survive for the last ten thousand years with all its dharmic values, even though many other countries and civilization got wiped out by the foreign invasion. That achievement was due to the sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers, kings and scholars. Not merely by the message of ahimsa
Even though everyone has the same type of hunger, There are different types of food. We could have solved the hunger with only one food. Like that even though there is only one spiritual power, there should be different pathways for realizing that power. So there are many god concept in India all reaching to the absolute power.
A SERIOUS INFORMATION: An accident took place about 60 meters away from a Siva temple, which is adjacent to a small chapel. Next day there was a poster “ Siva Kills and Jesus saves’ None against this. The Christians are using all the negatives and positives for spreading the Christianity through out India. Tens of thousands of Hindus are being converted to Christianity by cheating like this daily, whether you know the seriousness of the consequences or not.
One person has sent an email to me saying that we should not criticize other religion and our duty is only to teach our dharma. :- I would like to inform him and all our friends that learning , teaching and practicing our dharma are the real dharma. More important is protecting our dharma when torrential attack is taking place against our dharma by way of conversion. Hence it is the bound dharma of every Indian to fight against conversion and bring back the converted people.

YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS ( YOUR QUESTIONS ON CASTE SYSTEMS CONTD). Did the caste discrimination exist during ancient days? Never and there was no incident which describes about caste discrimination in ancient period. ……… How to solve the present problem? If properly handled there will not be any problem…………. What do you mean by proper handing ? Educating people on the negatives and the positives of the caste system…… How to educate people? Tell them that Veda vyasa was from fishermen family, Sree Krishna was from Yadava family belong to Yadava kula (other backward community- obc ) Sree Rama was from Kshatriya family, Maharshi Maheedaasa Aitareya was from potter family ( presently scheduled tribe), Vaalmeeki is a burglar again from the scheduled tribe……….Was Sreekrishna not an avataara? Yes Sree Krishna was black and born in a so called low caste as an avataara………. . Is it not true that these are the examples of thousands of years ago ? yes these are the examples of Bharath during the initial stage of the origin of the caste system which had no problem at all. …….. Is there any example which we can site during the modern period. ? See the examples of Maata Amruthananda mayee ( Amma) and Sree Satya Sai Baba, Swami Vivekananda, Aurobindo Maharshi and so on. Educate properly the common mass on these great scholars of Bhaarath who were not born in Brahmin family………….what is meant by proper education? Inform them that Mata Amruthananda mayee, Satya Sai Baba, Vivekananda, Sree Narayana Guru and many other belonging to non Brahmin guru parampara have millions of followers belonging to all castes and religions including Brahmins even though they themselves are not born to Brahmin parents………..educate properly that Amma has consecrated dozens of Brahma sthaanam temples in spite of the fact that she belongs to fisher men family and also a woman………. none has ever created a problem or none has criticized the above saints of India …… You have earlier said that the caste problems are not the real problem but the politicians create the problems? Yes I did and I wish to tell that the politicians want always to keep the caste system and its negatives alive for their benefit whether the society divides or the society goes to dogs, they are more heinous than the Britishers who ruled India for more than 250 years. ………..Do you want to say that all politicians are like this..? Yes each and every politician is like that and if a good man becomes a politician he will also become a vote burglar like this in India and start dividing the scoeity.

THURSDAY MESSAGE, 19TH MARCH 2009 (SERIES 149)
Pancha brahma Upanishad. This Upanishad is presented as a discussion between Lord Mahadeva and Maharshi Pippalaada. The Upanishad tells that there are three swaras and for the swaras there are three varnas ( three colors). The first color is yellow which the color of the Brahmam and it is very powerful but silent and calm . This color is evolved from the cosmic form itself. It is equated with millions of Suns of the universes. The second color is deep red or blood red color which is the basis of the creation, maintenance and annihilation of all living and non living beings. The blue color is the one which is seen from outside and it is how the universe is seen for an observer. These three colors are similar to three swaras of A U M of AUM kar says the Upanishad. The Upanishad concludes by saying that everything about the universe is unclear and vague. Still the everything here is working with utmost specificity.

THIS WEEK MESSAGE: We use spects for protecting our eyes, shoes for protecting our legs, cloth for protecting our body, bed for a sound sleep, food for our health. Thus we use many good things which are produced by many people. Like this let us use all the good from all the books and all the people for our good


A SERIOUS INFORMATION: Two pastors (Christian priests) went to a slum type 61 huts in Chennai. They found that some of the children are suffering from health problem. They asked a question to the hut dwellers. Do you know why your are suffering ? They said we do not know. Immediately came the answer from the pastors. You worship Hindu gods so you are suffering……….. The 61 families were converted into Christianity including the small temple priest within 3 days. This is what is happening through out India. (this is an incident occurred two weeks ago)

YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS: Who is Sakir Naik ? A Muslim Missionary converting Hindu youths using all the wicked and crooked methods by denigrating Hindu dharma. …….How does he do the conversion ? He quotes some Sanskrit slokas and give different meanings arising from his crazy brain and say that these are all present in Vedas and create a complex for converting the Hindu youths ……… .Is there any truth in his speech? Absolute fraud and lie for cheating only. ……….. Can you give proof ? He says “the 13th chapter of Chandokhya Upanishad is on burning the women when she becomes a widow….“. And quote a sloka and give his own meaning to justify the statement . The people believe it and feel bad. But remember there is sloka like this and there is no 13 chapter also for the Upanishad ( this is given as an example)……. Is this happening everywhere ? This is happening everywhere in the world particularly in south India and middle east………What else he does ? He invites poor people in saffron clothes and project them as sanyasies who are not well versed in Indian heritage and make fun of them by asking many questions which Naik knows there is no answer. This he does in the public and make the VCDs of that and circulate through out the world………….. Why these sanyasies go to such invitation ? They are neither sanyaseis nor there is none to guide them . Naik invites with great enthusiasm and respect initially. the sanyaasees think it is for a noble cause and they go…… Is this happening everywhere ? Some good capable sanyaasees are also invited. But they given the apt reply . This will never be projected in Niaik’s vcds . Only Naik’s wordings will be projected in their VCD………. Is there any one who dared to give good reply or counter act to this pseudo intellectual terrorism of Sakir Naik ? One Vedic scholar who is a doctor asked many questions to Naik with many counter questions like . “You are against idol worship but you worship the Ka ba and the stone inside, you throw the holy stones against saatan, how you say that Mohammed is the last prophet . Why the prophet married 11 girls . Why did he marry at the age of 56, a girl of 11 years , why Hindus are not permitted nearer to Ka aba if you are so open. Why only your religion propagates terrorism world over. If one man can marry many ladies why not the reverse permitted…like this the doctor asked many questions but none of the questions was projected in VCD. He himself and his own paid low standard Muslim audience got shocked . The show was closed within minutes. …….why many people are not countering like this ? You know that they create problems and the govt will keep quite in the name minority freedom.

Janmabhumi Newspaper

It is good to see that Mr. Kummanam Rajasekharan is trying to give the newspaper
a new turn to reach the kerala masses especially hindus. In spite of having numerous
newspapers, the liberal hindu never had a mouthpiece to express his views.
He was forced to read either mathrubhumi and manorama which really portray
the pseudo-secular policies.
Eventhough lot of things are there to improve, I think this is a good initiative to
start the online edition. Congratulations to the team behind this great job.
