Hi Dear Readers,
Its been a long time that I could find some time to write something here. Thanks to my job I am able to find some these days. Long time back..means Jan this year, I came to meet a person related to me who had converted long time back in US.That person had many reasons to support the desicion I am not going to discuss that now.
Its really amazing how people or should I say the Human mind. The mind that we control can control us and also we can. Now the ancient form of this practice is definitely called YOGA. A yogi is some one who has mastered the art of controlling the 5 senses that in turn controls the MIND. A yogi who conquered every thing needs nothing, wants nothing and gives nothing.
He can, will and should give only knowledge. He has and holds is this energy which embalmes him. Any one who gives any thing......anything other than this is not a YOGI.
Does this world need any Yogi? The answer surprisingly is NO. No, we dont need any one who gives us Nothing. Nothing ??? Did I say Knowledge as "Nothing". Yes, I did and it hold true in this Dark Age (Kali). We need "Divine"/"Divinity"/"God" who can give us health , wealth, power,status and control over others.
A person who at an young age a devout believer and worshipper of Lord Shiva prays for something that the person Loves would he not grant? Definitely, because he is called Bhola Shanker. Well, he did and he made a very big mistake as he always does.He granted the person what that person asked for. Now,in olden ages I mean Yuga's back people had brains ,they used to think rationally about the series of bad things happening to them are results of their wrong doings. But, today in 21st century where it is science that people are reading and rational is the word they think. But, still people attribute Good or bad to GOD.
What the heck am I talking ???
Am I saying that there is No God ? Am I saying what ever happens is not God given ??
Definitely yes ! It is not the God who decides upon who should get what. He is the energy which one should embibe into one self to become one with Him. So, what does this energy do ?
It gives every thing which is "Deserved". He is not partial, nor belongs to a state, color, sect or Religion. He is "Attribute Less".
So coming back to the story the person got what she asked for.But as time passed that person could not handle the gift. The person had many problems after that. Now the blame game starts whom should we blame. We need to be in one party to show a finger at another, shift party.Ok, now when it is done, do we stop there. Human psychology is that , when we like something we go out shouting Praises of it. The same thing happens start preaching, tell the story get pity then start preaching. Just to justify the stand for shifting.
There was this little discussion that , that person put up with me. The person tries two things,
1. Make you feel guilty of what you are
2.Show that they are very good.
Coming point wise :
2. Opens up the discussion with the praises as usual.
Loves every one Loves You.....blah blah....
Now that the person says that all happiness and strenght that the person is enjoying now is becoz of this GOD. Says, he makes you feel Loved, Strong, and all other routine stuff. But the person lost out on an important point. The major point on that persons visit to my and that persons Home land or should I say Mother Land. That person recently lost elder son. And look what that person keeps on saying ..."He gives what ever you want.He will give happiness...". I asked that person are you not in grief now ??? Why are you in this situation because of whom???
I really had no idea what was coming to me as an answer. That person says
" Lord took my Son back because he(Elder Son) loved Lord very much. Even lord loved him so much that he took him away !!".
Now, what can one say. Well, I asked that person "You justify your shifting of Gods because you had difficulties during One so you tried out another and found Happiness. Now in this Hour of Grief where would you go? To another ??". Here people stick ,saying "The Lord is testing, wants you to be more close to him..........."all the psychological cover up to make up the mind. Would'nt it hold the same way around ???
Coming to Point 1 :--
There were many things said about many God's but just to brief things up and as I personally like Krishna I will discuss it here.
Question 1 : He plays his flute and all the Gopikas' run for him not even carnig about the Husband,children etc. How can he Womanize them who are already married ???
Question 2 : He stole the clothes of young girls who were bathing ??? Is this a quality of A GOD ???
Question 3 : He has Radha as girlfriend who is related to him and is an Aunt ! How can he ???
Till here ........... we had....... But unfortunately I could not answer that person at that moment of time. Here may be I can put up and hope that person gets the answers...The Next part the answers.......
Note: any one can add answers !

Two Short Stories : For Atheists
There was a king who wanted to test his ministers and learned brains in his kingdom. He once puts up three questions
1. Does God exist? If yes why cant every one see him?
2. Where does God see? In which direction?
3. What does God do?
To this he gave one day time for any one in his Kingdom to answer. One of the poets’ son comes to know about this quiz. He asks his father to permit him to answer these questions. The poet himself un-answerable to the questions is afraid if his son does not satisfy the King then he will be put to death!
The next morning the poets’ son bows to the King and requests the king to allow him to answer his questions. The king looks at the boy with doubt, but allows him to speak. The boy asks for a pot full of milk and a small lamp. The courtiers bring them to him. The king thinks that the boy might be hungry. But the boy starts to look in to the pot very anxiously for a long time.
The king asks the boy what he was looking for in the pot. The boy says I was looking for Butter! The king laughs at the boys’ ignorance and tells him that “unless the milk is made into curd and then churned, will not get the butter.”
The boy smiles and asks the king in which direction does the lamp spread its light? The king again tells the boy “not in one but in all directions, my boy.”
Now the boy tells the King that he got the first two answers. The king is astonished at the boys’ intelligence. The boy explains “Unless we add the fermented curd to milk we will not get curd. We need to churn the milk rigorously to get the butter from the curd. Similarly we need to add “bhakti” to our life and churn it with "knowledge" then we will get the butter as "God". As a lamp cannot direct its light in one particular direction even God do not show partiality to any one. He is constantly viewing each and every being in this world.”
Very impressed with the boys’ explanation the King praises the boy that he is his guru who removed his ignorance. The boy says “oh king you called me your guru and how come you sit in a higher seat when I am standing before you.” The king stands up and offers his throne to the boy and sits before him on the ground.
The king suddenly remembers his third question and asks the boy what about the third question. The boy says “this is what God does.” The king does not understand and asks “what?” The boy says “this, he makes people go up and down. One moment before you were on a high seat and me on the ground now I am on your throne. He gives each and every person what one deserves.”

This is one more interesting story about Gautam Buddha. An atheistic came to Buddha in a morning and said, 'I don't believe in God at all. Can you prove existence of God? If not agree with me.' Buddha agreed to him. He left. In the afternoon one more person came. He said, 'I totally believe in God. There is no way these universes exist without God. Prove to me that God does not exist or agree with me.' Buddha agreed to him. He left too. In the evening one more peasant came. He said, 'Buddha, I am ignorant if God exists or not. I really don't know much. But I have a strong urge to find out. I came to you to find the truth!' Buddha smiled. He asked the person to stay with him. Buddha's disciples saw the whole thing. Confused they went to him. "Master" They said. “How can you change your words twice a day? In the morning you agreed that God doesn't exist, in the afternoon you said exactly opposite and evening you make an ignorant person your follower?" Buddha said, “The persons came in morning and afternoon did not come here to find the truth but to debate! They had a firm belief on something which they wouldn't leave but they search for people to challenge. They are not open for anything. It is not possible to improve with such attitude. It is waste of time fighting with them also. So I agreed and kept quiet. The person who came in the evening was in search for Nirvana. He was open and he did not have ego to show his knowledge. So I accepted him." source
Many Atheists always put up “arguments” in many places say Communities or books. They always have the urge to put up a argument citing many “scientifically” and “rational” examples.
But in true sense never put up an effort to “find” the truth.

An Atheist and An Cable TV
Here today I wanted to talk about the Cable Television. Just 24 years back there was black and white giving way to color. After 10 years came cable television into India. And then there came revolution after revolution. And today we have Direct to Home Television sets.
A little detailing into the matter is needed. Television is an assembly of components like diodes, electrodes and many components including the all important picture tube. If we have all these is not enough we also need an antenna. So, if we have these entire do we have the television working? Yes, but we will not get any program running if we don’t have a signal then!
So, every thing should be there so that a single program can be shown. With only these things we will be able to get the channels given by the National Network in India its DoorDarshan. But, I know how boring these can be. Now to make it a little interesting we go and get a cable connection from the local service provider. We pay him a monthly rental and get few a min of 30-40 channels.
Even here if the TV is of good advanced technology then we can get around 50-80 channels. So, depending on the service provider and the TV set the number of channels depends. Now is this enough next we have DTH TV sets by few Big service providers. The amount of channels and the abundance of extra services made them popular. One can record, replay and have on-demand movies.
But, an Atheist is kind of person who will not go any extent but stay at having only the antenna and cry that he doesn’t get the signal clearly. He says that people who boast of seeing/feeling GOD are just bluffing. He will argue that if GOD is there then show me or say if he is there then why I can’t feel him.
Well, technically speaking he should have a service provider “The Guru” to connect him to the endless reception of channels (here) “GOD”.
The next blame is, I have a Guru but still I can’t.
Well, as it is known that even the TV set should be of advanced technology to handle the signals. Like in today’s TV or DTH the analog signals are converted to digital or directly digital is converted to show the picture.
Similarly, your level of thinking or conscience should be developed. If you have a poor reception TV set (here) “Brain”. The even the good provider can’t help.
Some people complain that they were good but the Guru was not good. Then it shows your incapability to select a good provider in this country full of providers.
I always try to miss them out but can’t help. Converts are people who adamantly stick to a poor service provider and try to establish that the quality is “True” quality. As they are not fully aware of the advantages and the quality of service they can get by “Directly” connecting to the “Original”.
Just imagine if a signal is transmitted from a Server (“God”) is coming to you through a service provider, then through a signal enhancer box, then through cable. The quality decreases. Some times the provider himself is not getting “All” channels can provide only few. How about getting “ALL” channels with “Original” quality from the “True” provider!
So, try to connect to the “Original” provider, healer and destroyer rather than wasting life on all the distractions and disturbances.
In Gita (chapter 2 verse 53) Lord Krishna tells us that
“One should not be distracted by the words in Vedas and indulge in fruitive activities for Heavenly Kingdom”.
In chapter 18 verse 66 Lord Krishna tells us that
“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.”
Any knowledge, any religion that takes you away from Lord Krishna and indulges you into material gains is to be abandoned.
