A unifying spiritual identity

Separatism created by religious identities is going to become a big crisis in years to come. I was quiet taken aback by hearing allegations and charges made by people of different religions on each other a few days back. I really feel that some disaster is really in the making. For some an obvious solution is to abolish religion and to live for humanity. Well that is a good idea, I feel. But, that is not the end of it all because there will always be people who feel that we are more human than you based on historical origins, economic status, political status etc. There is already enough evidence that there are powers who perpetrate those not in power by exploiting their lack of education or access to information. So, the basic paradigm is how do you foster in the minds of all people an allegiance to the value of humanity? Can it be done by the materialistic civilization which only believes in being merry. Today I may think to not becoming merry at the cost of others, tomorrow I may cast aside this status. What is the experience in life that people should have in order to be able stick to the principle of fairness and justice despite opportunities to exploit and rule? I feel only spirituality is the answer to it. Not just the spirituality in letter or practices, but those letter and practices should become an experience.
For example the spiritual teachings of Gita tell us that all living entities are souls and parts of the Supreme Being. When this knowledge turns into a reality then one sees every life as a sacred manifestation of God. Then it does not matter which faith people are following. It is justified to seek for happiness in the way that one finds appropriate. Education may be given but ultimately the choice is individual.
Therefore, it is important that different religions co-exist in harmony by realizing that every being is the part of God.

Making India a Technological Superpower 2

One way, I think, this goal of indigenous technological development can be achieved is by fostering a spirit of innovation and native problem solving in the minds of already brilliant Indian students. Innovation has to be made glamorous so has contributing back to the nation.
The most important thing in this direction I feel is the presence of role models that the young minda can emulate. There are already many Indian innovators who have done great globally. We need to inspire a breed of patriotic innovators who want to innovate here and sell abroad, instead of the other way round. Educational institutions can play a pivotal role in this direction. We need to make our educators innovators too. As they are the first role models for the students. The basic instinct of enquiry and self problem solving should be encouraged in students.

Making India a Technological Super Power

Just today I was pondering over the foreign companies that provide India products and services. Everything India is using is gotten from these foreign countries. For example Google, Microsoft, Philips, Hundai, Crompton Greaves and so on. Now 'Make In India' is an important step towards making India economically more stronger and creating jobs for the Indian youth, but it would help us so much if we had Indian companies providing services to Indians. This would keep India's money within India and would certainly make us a richer country.
Many regret that the best Indian talents have been migrating to US for all these years. Thus, we as a nation have not been able to reap the full benefit of our home grown talent, although even from abroad they have contributed significantly. I feel instead of just regretting we should find out the reason behind the exodus of such talent from our country and do something to keep them back.
Once we have done that we can start focussing on the products and services that we can generate indigenously and provide to the Indian populace in a cheap way and in a way that respects India's demography.

Just don't waist time

After observing my own life and life lessons from my genius people around the world, I have zeroed in on one mantra for a definite personal improvement: "Don't waist time". Yes it is that easy. Whenever I am doing something that is taking me away from the wholesome personality that I want to be I recognize that and quit that activity. It is that simple. Just recognize that and quit that activity. And how do I know if I am wasting my time? For that I should be in full cognizance of what I want to achieve in life. In a nutshell the person I want to become is someone who exudes incredible love. The the details follow and will probably take up another post. But keeping in mind the person that I want to evolve into at every instant of time and doing activities that take me towards that goal in and out every single day will take me a far distance. I am confident about that.

If there is a God it has to be Krishna

The above statement makes so much of a universal meaning, specially when we consider the literal meaning of Krishna in Sanskrit which is all attractive. If there is God, any believer will attest, He has to be all attractive. This is the kind of secular beauty in which Vedas describe God. No doubt the Vedas are the cradle of all the religions of the world and all the conceptions of God thereof.
