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.”
----------------------------End of Story One-------------------------------------------
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.

CASTES In Indian Society Part- I
This Is Just The Start....
Just because of one statement in a “Smriti” people are taking an excuse to convert into other religions!
Yes, just one statement in Manu smriti has all the low class Hindus converting into other religions. What did he say … nothing he was just putting a classification of society during his period that’s all!!
One question, what is the importance of Manu Smriti in Indian Society at least at any given time? Did any King any Emperor ever mentions that he was ruling with those commandments! Nor there was any great attribute given to him even by normal people of our HUGE nation.
One great mistake in the WHOLE of VEDAS was that it said “The Brahmins formed the Mouth, Kshatriya’s the Arms, the Vyshya’s the things and Shudras’ from feet.”
What is the mistake, the mistake that it was mistranslated as “from” rather than “formed” which actually was the words in Sanskrit. What is the great offense if these two were written, are there any mention of ethnic cleansing or crusade’s against these people. It is even great to notice that any devotee would touch Lord's feet rather than his "Mouth" or "Arms".
Coming to today’s world don’t we have “caste’s”, do we really don’t have in modern societies. People are classified as Rich, Middle-Class and Lower-Class. No matter what the Hindu-caste one belongs all Rich Class is the same. They are capitalists who will take advantage of the middle class and working class. They manipulate try to get their relatives and acquaintances all the advantage of the society.
In Indian perspective a Politicians’ son becomes the next leader, a doctors’ son/daughter becomes a doctor, an industrialists’ son/daughter gets the next CEO post. In India it is common to accept this. Recently, Bhutto was assassinated and see who becomes next head of the party of course her son even if he doesn’t know even the ABCD of politics’ especially of Pakistan.
So, when education was of Veda’s and Upanishad’s a father would like his son to succeed him, is that so different than that is today.
In Indian cinema we find the same son’s, daughters are dominating today. Any one who is from outside find’s it really difficult to even have a good break into the industry. So do any new industrialist or any new political leader. And the main point to be seen here is that people will democratically choose these sons and daughters over any new entrant. This is all evident in today’s India. I think many would agree with me.
Let’s come down a little into the society how are we breaking it ourselves even without noticing that we are actually doing it.
I have found many youngster’s as well as old guy’s who would come down to fight when there are differences of opinion. If a group likes Lee would stand by it and argue with a Pepe jeans group. Nokia group would say it is the best when against Motorola or Sony Ericsson. And the main battle forms when it comes to whether it’s Sourav or Sachin and Amitabh or SRK.
It is just psychology of Humans to find equally thinking minds together and form a group. There are groups such as elite golf playing resorts. There are elite pub’s that allow only the most famous. There are elite planes for special who’s who of the society. For all these you need to be rich and famous. Do all the other 98% of the society as for reservation to enter these clubs????
These classifications are superficial and are not drawn in the constitution. Neither did in “any” period of Indian society. It was just classified as people of different professions that’s all.
Neither did these scriptures discriminate on “color” as the American’s do till today for Black’s.
Nor on “race” as Hitler did for Jews. Nor on “class” as Greek and Roman society were divided.
And there was no upward or downward moving of the people from one classification to another. A Black cannot become a White (one exception of Michael Jackson). A Jew cannot become any other unless converts to. A person needs to earn a lot of money in Greece or Roman but it was very tedious.
But the great flexibility that the Indian society had that a Brahmin born can become a Shudra just by taking up a job as carpenter or a cleaner. A Shudra can become a Kshatriya by acquiring a Kingdom. The best example is of Karna in Mahabharata.
A robber can become a Sage as Valmiki became by acquiring the Brahma Gyan. So there was never discrimination. Even Kings never showed this in their activities. Lord Ram ate fruits that were first tasted by Shabari who was a Shudra.
In Valmiki Ramayana it is written that “Rama ruled his country where every person was equal before him.”
Why don’t people read this one sentence and find that Lord Ram was more “Secular” than any of today’s pseudo secularists of this Nation.
There is a famous example for optimism. It goes like this…
When a glass is filled with half-water, an optimist sees “half filled” and a pessimist sees it “half empty.”
Today all these people who are against Hinduism have seen this half-empty. But, one more thing I want to bring into notice. Even this half-empty is not really empty. It is our ignorance of the great culture that is shown as empty. This ignorance is just created by Max Muller and his followers.
STOP LOOKING FROM A WESTERN EYES. SEE WITHIN AND YOU WILL FIND ANSWERS.
