Sub :  Why Ethics for Bharatheeya Citizens ?

Ref :  Earlier discussion dated 19/10/2015  in this column.

1. Urgent and most Important Thought ! : Character development of Citizens in Bharatham  -

2. Character education at Schools in Bharatham ! ?


All Members,

Respected family members of this great holy Nation.

Part-1.

1. In  the  religions  of  the  Rishi-s,  ethics  and  morality  are  not  a  set of  heartless  rules  of  "do's"  and  "don'ts", (as  in  semitic religions Islam  and Christianity )  with  a  baseless  threat  of  an  eternal  damnation  for  all those  who  dare  disobey  those  prophet-made  rules.

2. "This  is  at  once  the  strength  and  weakness  of  Hinduism."

3.  It  is  a  weakness  inasmuch  as  it  gives  freedom  for  those  who  want  to  an  ugly  life  of  sighs  and  sobs  for  themselves  and,  death  and  destruction  for  others.

4.  Compared  with  other  religions  of  the  world  the  brilliance  and  beauty  of  Hinduism  are    not  merely  in  that  we  are  not  enslaved  by  the  'Commandments'  of  any  single  Prophet,  but  also  in  that  we  are  not  forced  to  obey  implicitly    any  rules  of  conduct  prescribed  of  an  ancient  dead  past;  they  strive  to  make  us  understand  why  a  certain  way - of - life  has  been  prescribed.

5.  No  doubt,  many  of  the  moral  and  ethical  rules  of  right  living  are  common  in  all  the  existing  religions.

6.  "But  only  in  Hinduism  they  are  emphasized  as  so  many  intelligent  policies  of  economising  the  personality  dynamism  available  in  the  individuals."

7.  The  quality  and  quantity  of  thoughts  entertained  by  any  given  personality  determine  the  amount  of  wear  and  tear  suffered  by  the  youthfulness.

8.  We  see  amidst  us  cheerful  and  happy  men  living  a  life,  both  vigorous  and  youthful,  even  at  the  age  of  eighty,  and  also  wretched  specimens  who  show  the  weariness  of  eighty  years  even  at  the  age  of  eighteen.

9.  Dissipation  of  mental  energies  ends  in  the  "tuberculosis  of  the  mind."

10.  To  detect  this  wasteful  diseases  at  the  right  moment  and  to carefully  nurse  back  the  tubercular  mind  to  a  healthy  condition  is  the  contribution  of  "Ethics"   in  the  "Yoga-sastram"of  Bharatham.

11.  Such  a  rehabilitated  mind  returned  to  the  pursuit  of  the  right  values  of  life  brimming  with  an  ever-growing  energy,  becomes  the  right  vehicle  to  gain  real  achievements  in  life.

12. Next : "Mental  rehabilitation  programme   ........

Thank you for reading

JAIHIND.

Opinion 18/11/2015 104.  Sub : Beware  of  Spiritual  Gods ( Human ) :  Ref :  Bharatham is  full  of  pseudo  religious  guru-s,  starting  with  priests  of  Temple, Church  and  Mosque  All Members,  Respected family members of this great holy Nation. Part-4. A. 1. No  living  Master  who  breathes  and  eats,  and  recognizes  a  world  to  function  in,  can  ever  claim  that  he  is  God. 2. Members  and my  brothers  and  sisters,  don't  be  deceived. 3. Having  seen  a  God  you  will  not  live  to  declare  it;  4. a  salt-doll  went  into  the  sea  to  measure  its  depth  and  it  could  not  come  back  to  declare  its  discovery! 5. The  individual  having  had  the  God-experience  will  not  come  to  declare  that  the  Almighty  and  the  All-pervading  Truth  is  the  limited,  mortal,  finite  structure  of  the  reacher. 6.

Chinmaya Mission: Sevika Sarika Pherwani’s Bala vihar performed the Paduka Puja at Dosti Erica, wadala.  We received an enthusiastic response from children who attended it with their Parents/grand parents.   Sevika Dimple Parekh assisted in conducting this and it was well received by the Parents ================================================================ 1.#Opinion : Thursday, 14 Dec 05:30. 3363. // Article Philosophy 1.#On Reason and Higher Life - 1.Swami Krishnananda./// ================================================================ First of all, it has to be remembered that reason is not everything, and it is futile to work up an apotheosis of reason. This itself is contrary to reason, and it is a prejudiced faith of the human mind which makes it imagine that reason is all. You ask, 'On what is faith based?', but I ask, 'On what is reason based?' 'Who told you that reason itself is reasonable?' Don't you think that this itself is a faith that you h

=============================================================== Monday, 22  Dec 2023. 05:30.  Psychic Influence: =============================================================== Personality: In common parlance when one says that Dr. Tagore has a good personality, he means thatDr. Tagore has a strong, stalwart, tall figure, a beautiful complexion, a fine nose, sharpand lustrous eyes, broad chest, a muscular body, symmetrical limbs, curly hair and so on.That which distinguishes one man from another is personality. In reality, personality issomething more than this. It includes a man’s character, intelligence, noble qualities,moral conduct, intellectual attainments, certain striking faculties, special traits orcharacteristics, sweet powerful voice, etc. All these things put together constitute thepersonality of Mr. So and so. The sum total of all these things makes up the personalityof a man. Mere physical characteristics cannot make up the personality. What you call an umbrella is really
