World Vegetarian Day 1 October 2013

I'm willing to hedge a bet!
you'll love veggies by the end of
World Vegetarian Day
1 October 2013

World Vegetarian Day is here to encourage you in a new way of living - or to ask you to help raise

 awareness to the vegetarian lifestyle if you're already meat-free!   Paul McCartney became a

 vegetarian after meeting his late wife Linda and has been very into encouraging others to try doing

 the same.

So what's so great about going Vegetarian?   Well, first of all you're saving animals from the misery

 and pain of being killed for our benefit. This diet also reduces the risk of and protects us from

 conditions such as cancer and heart disease.

What's more?   The choice to avoid meat will have great environmental benefits in the long run.  Our

 ecosystems will be preserved and greenhouse gases will decrease.   Focusing on crops as our source

 of food will also help to feed more of the hungrier people in the world.

So how do you go about becoming a vegetarian and adopting vegetarian diets?   Well take

 the vegetarian pledge.  You could host a vegetarian film screening and provide snacks.   People like to

 stick to what they know so doing it this way will inform but also be a lot of fun.   The appeal is much

 more likely to work this way!

And do you know what else?   Even non-veggies are welcome!  Of course you have to agree to try out

 the vegetarian way of living for the day.   If you're going into a restaurant try a meat-free option.   Or

 even better ... host your own vegetarian dinner party!

You can invite friends, family, co-workers and show them all what they're missing - not meat, but some

 delicious meat-free recipes!   As you go along drop in some titbits of information about how you made

 the meal - perhaps even give them recipes away so they're encouraged to try them out for

 themselves!

Vegetarian or not, if you want to get involved why not start by putting up colourful posters to advertise

 local events around your community on the run-up to World Vegetarian Day.   You could also write a

 letter to your local newspaper and radio show asking them to publicise and broadcast the events

 taking place.

So go on, try something new this World Vegetarian Day!

I salute the great teacher Venkatesa who has a human form and is the enemy of death,

Who took the form of man lion,
Who is amenable to the wise,
Is the subject of my deep study.

25.Yo danda karanya nisacharendran ,
Kodanda leelaa vishayee chakara,
Vedanda sundayatha bahu danda,

Warm Wishes on Gandhi Jayanti.....

Warm Wishes on Gandhi Jayanti..... Philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi in His Own Words: I know the path. It is straight and narrow. It is like the edge of a sword. I rejoice to walk on it. I weep when I slip. God"s word is: "He who strives never perishes." I have implicit faith in that promise. Though, therefore, from my weakness I fail a thousand times, I will not lose faith, but hope that I shall see the Light when the flesh has been brought under perfect subjection, as some day it must. Search for Truth : I am but a seeker after Truth. I claim to have found a way to it. I claim to be making a ceaseless effort to find it. But I admit that I have not yet found it. To find Truth completely is to realize oneself and one"s destiny, i.e., to become perfect. I am painfully conscious of my imperfections, and therein lies all the strength I posses, because it is a rare thing for a man to know his own limitations. Trust in God : I am in the world feeling my way to light "amid the encircling gloom". I often err and miscalculate… My trust is solely in God. And I trust men only because I trust God. If I had no God to rely upon, I should be like Timon, a hater of my species. No Secrecy : I have no secret methods. I know no diplomacy save that of truth. I have no weapon but non-violence. I may be unconsciously led astray for a while, but not for all time. My life has been an open book. I have no secrets and I encourage no secrets. Guidance : I claim to have no infallible guidance or inspiration. So far as my experience goes, the claim to infallibility on the part of a human being would be untenable, seeing that inspiration too can come only to one who is free from the action of opposites, and it will be difficult to judge on a given occasion whether the claim to freedom from pairs of opposites is justified. The claim to infallibility would thus always be a most dangerous claim to make. This, however, does not leave us without any guidance whatsoever. The sum-total of the experience of the world is available to us and would be for all time to come. Self-sacrifice and Ahimsa : I am asking my countrymen in India to follow no other gospel than the gospel of self-sacrifice which precedes every battle. Whether you belong to the school of violence or non-violence, you will still have to go through the fire of sacrifice and of discipline. No Defeatism:  Defeat cannot dishearten me. It can only chasten me . . . . I know that God will guide me. Truth is superior to man"s wisdom. Trust : It is true that I have often been let down. Many have deceived me and many have been found wanting. But I do not repent of my association with them. For I know how to non-co-operate, as I know how to co-operate. The most practical, the most dignified way of going on in the world is to take people at their word, when you have no positive reason to the contrary. My Leadership and Non Violence : They say I claim to understand human nature as no one else does. I believe I am certainly right, but if I do not believe in my rightness and my methods, I would be unfit to be at the helm of affairs. My Work : I am content with the doing of the task in front of me. I do not worry about the why and wherefore of things… Reason helps us to see that we should not dabble in things we cannot fathom.

श्राद्ध - एक तर्पण

श्राद्ध - एक तर्पण

भारतीय संस्कृति की एक बड़ी विशेषता है कि जीते-जी तो विभिन्न संस्कारों के द्वारा,धर्मपालन के द्वारा मानव को  सुमति  करने के उपाय बताती ही है लेकिन मरने के बाद भी, कुछ ऐसे क्रिया कर्म होते है, जिस के बाद भी जीव की सदगति के लिए एक प्रयास कई वर्षो से किया जाता है। जिसे हम आम भाषा में श्राद्ध कहते है।

मरणोत्तर क्रियाओं-संस्कारों का वर्णन हमारे शास्त्र-पुराणों में आता है। पुरे साल में एक महिना खास कर ऐसा दिया जाता है जिस महीने में जो भी हमारे परिवार में मृत होते है उनको एक अर्ध्य श्रद्धा द्वारा दिया जाता है। श्राद्ध का महत्व और विधि विधान हमारे शास्त्र ,धर्म ग्रंथो और पुरानो में भी पाया जाता है।ये हमारे हिन्दू धर्म में ही पाया जाता है। भारत वर्ष में बहोत सी जातिया और धर्म है। श्राद्ध करने के पीछे यह भाव होता है हर इन्सान का की जो हमारे दिव्य लोकवासी पितरों के पुनीत –पुण्य आशीर्वाद लेना है और अपने कुल के सुख

 शांति और वैभव को लाना है। हमारे  कुल  को आगे बढ़ने में और प्रेम और एकता रखने में उनके आशीर्वाद हमारी सहायता  करते है। जिन्होंने जीवन भर खून-पसीना एक करके  हमारे जीवन को अच्छा सा मक़ाम देने की कोशिश की है , चाहे वो रिश्ता किसी भी स्वरुप में हो।

 

पर आज ये श्राद्ध का असली महत्व हम भूल गए है , ये संस्कार लुप्त होते जा रहे है। जीवित माता पिता को आज वृधाश्रम में रखा जा रहा है। उनकी मृत्यु के बाद उनका श्राद्ध करना ये कहा का इंसाफ है ?? आधुनिकता के नाम पर हम नए दौर में प्रवेश कर रहे है, पर जो सही अर्थ में हमारे सुख और दुःख के साथ जुड़े थे वो रिश्ते क्या उन्हें आज हम न्याय दे रहे है ? ....हम लोगो ने जो आधुनिकता का मुखोटा धारण किया है वो क्या इन संस्कारो को आगे जा कर चलने देगा? इस प्रथा और रिवाजो को चलाना केवल अब हमारे हाथ में है .... 

हमारी सोच में है ..... केवल एक बात ही हमें याद दिलाती है की जो जिन्दा इंसानों की भावनाओ को समज सकता है , उनकी इज्जत कर सकता है ......जो 

जीवित ही अपने बड़ो और बुढो को संभाल सकता है और उनका मान और सम्मान कर सकता है वो ही उनके मृत्यु के बाद उन्हें तर्पण दे सकता है ...और सही अर्थ में वह इन्सान ‘ स्व ‘ के साथ खुश रह सकता है। हमारी आज की सोच को हमें एक ये भी रूप दिखाना है के जो अगर हमें आज की जनरेशन से मान – धर्म – प्रेम – रिवाजो का आचरण कराना है , तो पहले हमें उन्हें ये शिक्षा ----खुद को एक उदाहरण बनकर देना पड़ेगा। नहीं तो जीवन कर्मो का एसा हिसाब किताब है के ‘ जो बोईगे वो ही पाएगे ‘ फिर हमें भी हमारे आने वाली पीढ़ी से ये शिकायत या उम्मीद नहीं रखनी चाहिए। सही तर्पण यह होगा के हमें हमारे विचारो को आधुनिकता के साथ साथ फॅमिली VALUE,प्रेम, सहनशक्ति और सच और गलत का फर्क दिखा कर देना है।

एक बार जरुर सोचना के सच्चा श्राध् कौनसा है जिससे हमारे पितृ –पितर हम पे नाज़ ले सके और हमें सही मायनो में उनकी दुआए मिले !!!!!
