JAPANESE VS. BRITISH
IT REMINDS ME OF MY YOUNGER DAYS.
As some one who is closely associated with Nagaland, It was of great impression for me to listen to the stories we hear from the Pubs, which is local and mostly run by women and we always find some elder man, who is willing to talk about the time of II world war, and while the Japanese ruled them for a while, before British with the help of several Nagas and the “UNKNOWN” soldiers, as was written on the War cemetery of KOHIMA the Capital of Nagaland, a unique and mostly beautiful place on earth. It was written by all those common soldiers, thousands who gave up life for the sake of capturing Nagaland and mainly the Burma Road [Highway], at Imphal to Kohima,which was in depleted state but still was in the hands of Japanese for months, but the only blood line to other Asian countries like Malaysia, COM podia, Korea, china, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Hongkong etc up to Japan. It was crucial that the British had to take over the road and a bloody war ensued with the result of thousands of youngsters, who were killed in their teens, the engraved words, other than that of the British, as their names are still written with DOB & DOD.,was as follows, and can be still witnessed if one goes to Kohima.”FOR YOUR TODAY WE GAVE OUR LIVES/YESTERDAYS. [Hope my memory does not fail me]
That apart, the villagers still remember vividly the time Japanese ruled as that of good times, as they were very liberal with their rations for the tribes, who too have looks as Mongolian features, perhaps making them more attractive as friends rather than foes.
The British on the other side was guilty of free supply of opium to those tribes and made generations of them dump as a side effect of the abuse of such drugs with free alcohol and suppressed those warriors who other wise, would be still a good fight with any one in the world, but seldom goes out as they may feel more safe in their place rather than other places in India, but we do come across the new generation who comes out and studies every where.
The comparison is meant to convey to the world that Japanese were not villainous or ruthless as it was made out to be after Pearl Harbor. Some lapses may have been there but not as sinister as the British those days were. They had to justify their atom bomb drop and lot of publicity and stunts preceded the Nagasaki and Hiroshima carnage for sure.

THE POWER OF PEOPLES' VERDICT.
MAGNANIMITY CAN NOT BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED ANYMORE.
Earlier days in pure democratic setup like in India and US, those who lose election used to bow out with humility and respect for the people’s verdict. Recent examples are those of Rajiv Gandhi, who in spite of getting the mandate of the single largest party, still decided to stay away from forming a coalition, only because he was not willing to tamper with the mechanism of a pure majority and may have thought it against the wishes of people of the country. Like wise in US in spite of the recounting and re totaling and due to the fact that Mr.George Bush was not the type to give away easily must have prompted,Mr.Bill Clinton who advised Mr.Al gore, to show magnanimity in giving it up.
These are the recent happenings, more recently Mr.Mushraf of Pakistan also decided to call it quits due to the power of the people who were for democracy. But whether the government of Pakistan did justice to the faith of the people is another question which, demands debates of the highest class and lowest class together, and decide accordingly in the next general election, the tooland showcase of performance should be the independent Media, who must bring the culprits to book and show the people the real person behind their masked persona.
Unfortunately, Media too became a tool of the political parties, who owns most of the widely read or widely seen channels and news papers, weeklies' and other magazines' which only highlights the positives of a particuler political party and does not encourage or try to take in the peoples' verdict in to account, the main undoing of the present day news papers ,which will be mostly hit and will have to close down, if they ignore the independent blogs, viewing it as enemies but they are the life line of democratic principles,while news papers' out of the burden of doing things for benefiting a particular political party are disfiguring the reality.
I am a witness to the greatest revolution after perhaps the Russian and preceding that French, who all took to the streets to ensure justice for all. You can see every country has seen such revolutions of different kind over centuries and we still have understood little or still remain the same passive onlooker but the independent bloggers have been successful in citing the follies of great newspapers which are not at all democratic and is owned by certain families, unlike the web which is for all in equal measure, accessible and can also voice or write your opinions on all issues.
In Kerala we saw the first time people selecting the communists as the rulers of our state alone, though, other states too have come up later it was in 1957, that Keralites voted first the communists, to power with out any blood shed or dirty politics. Even today you will invariably find people expressing their anguish in numbers for all those non performers. All have witnessed the plight of the most corrupt off late.
My gut feelings says, in Iran too people have given their verdict, but manipulations is also a possibility and in today’s world all those vested with power are thinking themselves to be the lord and forgets for a brief period about god. They will all suffer in their later years and will also be seen in sheer numbers praying for death and mercy, for death simply does not come and living also becomes a nightmare. Just imagine the life of such people it is the sum of the result of our karmic performance during your lifetime, if you ignore your parents, like wise your children also are bound to ignore you in old age. That is the most important lesson a man can teach his children, to respect the elders and also have compassion in life for our parents, teachers, and all other strata of our society, then only are we doing justice to god, for having given you a chance to live and live good to ensure and end befitting a soul, who did his KARMA’s {ones’ duty towards all and sundry] as god would have wanted them to do.
That is the simple logic of living a good life and also ensuring a good life to all our populace irrespective of their colour, race or community along with all living beings on earth for all of them owns Mother Earth equally. No individual is born to think he is superior in any way to each and every beautiful species of the world. That will be the beginning of wisdom and our era may witness just the same with the free thoughts of individuals encouraged through the web, the mother of all revolutions.

THE BEST PLACE FOR HIGHER STUDIES 'INDIA'.
WHY AUSTRALIA? WHY CAN’T IT BE INDIA ITSELF.
The recent attacks mainly for money have been the way of life in most countries with criminal background. They simply stop you in the middle of the night or day, if they find you are alone, while their gang may be a dozen or half a dozen drunken guys which include girls as well. The rise in the attacks is due to an economic meltdown, and those guys are broke, in their mind it’s not much of a sin to asks for a couple of cans of beer, just to freak out and have a nice ride or night in a pub. But our boys and girls are mostly orthodox Brahmins or even other religions but is a tough task when they calculate the amount spent of drinks is say $100 [US] a day which is almost Rs.5000/- and that kind of money is enough to feed a family in our Country India.
So the thought of losing in Australian Dollars may be mind boggling for those middleclass guys who goes there for education and good placement if possible. But the scenario has changed drastically nowadays with India itself offering Education that too World Class education and it will have to be conveyed to our students in Australia and US that our IITs & IIMs are the best of its kind than what Radcliff or for that matter Harvard is combined, the Doctors we produce are also the best in the world. The only reason the students are perhaps choosing foreign countries may be due to the English education, which still has high value in getting jobs else where or in India as well. This inherent complex is the reason for all and sundry to send their wards to English speaking countries to enhance their ability in written and spoken English.
But the truth is in spite of Indians having their own mother tongues, they are also best in British language as well, since decades Booker prize winners mostly have been Indian. Our story tellers are the most versatile, than those who has their mother tongue as English.
The truth is we have beaten them in their own backyard, and they are angry and jealous to see Indians come for studying and all gets retained in well paid jobs, just because of their commitment, hard work and competency. Australians are sour losers, that we all have seen, so what is the wisdom in going there to get bashed for doing nothing. There are thousands of educational institutions in India itself which caters to all subjects in the most refined and developed science but for only nuclear science, which too in spite of the policy taken by Western countries to deny Nuclear Science education to Asians and the likes fearing the proliferation possibility. In all other streams we have the best curriculum and scientific knowledge. For management techniques our ‘Bhishma Upades’ ‘Koudilyas’ are much far deepen than any management studies available in the world.
Each subject ,Astrology, Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics , Chemistry ,Bio technology, Micro biology, and all Computer related studies are best available in India that too cheaply in comparison with the amount being paid for studies abroad, which I feel is a status symbol for some families at least to announce, their children are studying abroad.
The new era has begun. The sun is still rising first in Japan but India has always been the destination for knowledge and still remains so. The proof is there for all to see that most of the top notch executives are Indian already. Our boys and girls have love and respect for our elders and are only going perhaps to please their parents. Good thinking parents must decide to bring them back here and give the best education in the world here it self.
Our country without doubt is the best and next super power. Be part of those process youngsters. My best advice to those who are at the receiving end is to come back to your own country feel proud of being an Indian.

WORLDS BEST DESTINATION FOR INVESTMENTS.
TAMILNADU THE BEST CLIMATE / FOR FOREIGN INVESTERS.
Tamil culture is perhaps the oldest along with Sanskrit and most of other languages have influence of these two main languages of historical India. Though Sanskrit has perished being a mother tongue, Tamil is very much in use and Malayalam along with Telugu and Kannada also has origin from Tamil and Sanskrit. The climate I mentioned above is not in the very true sense of temperatures, which even when it is hot you can still work outside without getting killed with a sun stroke ,the cause of death and very much possible in North during summer.
I have always felt in comparison with my own state of Kerala, that Industries only thrived here and apart from some pockets in Kerala like Kanjikode, Alwaye, with its proximity nearby Coimbatore, only could perform far behind in size & stature but Coimbatore was manufacturing world class quality motors, pumps, Textile Machineries etc and perhaps still maintains high profile abroad but for the lull in recent times. Textile hub has been almost shifted to Tirupur, which is now a corporation/municipality separate from Coimbatore, But Coimbatore has the best climate, I mentioned above and due to natural and friendly people who are hardworking non unionists mostly. I thought about the past when Mr.Karunanidhi , first came to power it was the third most industrialist State,Madras in Whole India after Maharashtra and Punjab. But the edge some how some where got lost, due to some events and extreme politics and so on. But now the state has come around a full circle and is aiming to be the number 3 at least in the future, again while Gujarat,Orissa,Karnataka,Andhra and so many other states too has gone miles ahead, in spite too of calamities.
The truth is even for Malayalees, they prefer Tamilnadu’s beaurocracy than that of Kerala.
You get a trouble free run then the chances of surviving become higher, but in Kerala it’s been too much of every thing, including Hartals and Bandhs.
There are Lacs of skilled engineers and doctors [doctors may be thousands yet.] available for big Hospitals multi specialty and multi super technology in treatments of any ailment. That too is now comparable with the world’s best. I have got a feeling that perhaps now we are leading behind a few developed countries but there are some huge developments required for rural areas. Farmers are to be the priority, if they survive then we all survive if they fail we all perish. That’s the simple truth and I can’t find any more bluntly open truth.

UPA CAN DELIVER FOR INDIA AND THE WORLD.
CAN THE UPA GOVERNMENT DELIVER FOR INDIA?
The above question was asked in NDTV[News Channel of India] tonight. For those Doubting Thomases I wish to clarify from the perspective of a Bank Employee, who is well experienced and have exposure throughout the country from the Himalayas to down south, Indian Ocean.
The following is the gist I wanted to convey & give confidence to all those laymen and knowledgeable people of our country, we always knew that ours is the greatest country in the world. Have you ever heard of an Indian king who sent guys around the world to loot from the whole world? We always have only defended and never offended in any era but for perhaps the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, that war was the result of a combination of humanitarian tragedy as millions of people came as refugees to India especially North East, that was the moment of truth that we had to bring order to our neighborhoods and never wanted to invade in the first place. You all are witness to our restraints in recent times, in spite of huge human rights violations around our borders we still held back wisely enough as only fools rush in where the wise fear to tread.
That was the point when UPA gained after Mumbai attacks , and all and sundry would have expected us to move in to Pakistan, which was the aim of terrorists, but they not only failed miserably but have now become the target from the whole world as all have realized about their intentions but just could not, out think Dr.Manmohan Singh, Perhaps a younger Prime Minister would have rushed in, as the pressure was so high and was about to blow, but most wisely Dr.Manmohan Singh not only did show the silent strength, which is the mind game through, which we can succeed against terror networks, see the importance of word “network” its only a jigsaw puzzle, which we can find out , as time goes by , the terrorists are leaving behind tracks and valuable information , and we have about three words among five words and needs another couple to solve the puzzle. I must congratulate Mr.Rahul Gandhi and Mrs.Sonia Gandhi for showing the same wisdom.
Is that proof enough for the doubting ‘kuttikrishnans’. I can say from a lay mans’ view that CPM lost out due to the functioning without clarity, as is the case in latest Kerala corruption case. Their image of honest bunch is slowly eroding and new poisons creepers, people can see them through, and what ever Mr.Prakash Karat gained, was lost in his handling of corruption, which is clear as the morning sky. The best damage control for them is to stick with clean Leaders ,the only chance for them lie in listening to Mr.Jothi Basu, Mr.Buddhadeb and Mr.Achuthananthan and other clean leaders. They are patriots for sure and people would like to see them remain that way instead of changing for worst. They still can play a role by supporting Congress, in critical issues and on times of crisis to weather the bad climate if in case , it comes to that.

They are patriots for sure and people would like to see them remain that way instead of changing for worst. They still can play a role by supporting Congress, in critical issues and on times of crisis to weather the bad climate if in case , it comes to that.

The following questions were put before Sri Sugunendra Theertha Swamji of Udupi Puthige Matha (of the Madhva Sampradaya) by devotees during his visit to Detroit.
Question One:
Plants are also having life, so killing plants should also be a sin. Thus in what way is vegetarian food better than non-vegetarian food, in terms of killing or committing "sin"?
Answer by Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji:
This is a very good question. It is true that plants also have "life" and killing plants is also sin. So the best way to observe total non-violence is to follow "Shiloncha Vraththi". That is to take only those fruits which have naturally fallen from the trees or plants. In this way we are doing harm to no one. But everyone can not follow that vow. We have to take food in order to survive and sustain this body. It is a necessity of survival. But we need to take that path which is less sinful and does less harm to other jivas (living entities).
Now there are two reasons to say that vegetarian food is having insignificant sin. Many of the plants like rice, wheat, etc., are having life only for one crop time. Once their yield is over, they die naturally, even if we don't cut them. So by cutting those plants (which have already died) we are doing less sin or no sin at all. In many other plants, like mango, coconut, etc., by plucking the fruit, we are not killing the plants, and so we are doing very minimal sin or no sin at all. So vegetarian food is less sinful. More over, it is inevitable for our survival, but non-vegetarian food is a luxury to us and we can survive even if we avoid that. It is more sinful since we need to kill animals all of the time.
Next we need to know why certain acts are sinful. Each and every life (whether plant, animal, or human) has come to this world to do "sadhana" (spiritual practices), so that they may get a better birth next life and finally get "moksha" (liberation). Whenever such "sadhana" opportunities are cut short, it becomes a sin. For plants there is not much "sadhana" available to them. They can not do any kind of physical or mental activities in terms of "sadhana". So by cutting them, we are not doing much harm to their "sadhana" or reducing their opportunity for "sadhana" (spiritual practice). So it is not so sinful. But animals can do a good amount of "sadhana" by means of physical and mental activities. By killing them, we are cutting short their opportunities to do "sadhana" towards their liberation (moksha). Thus it is much more sinful.
To support this aspect further I will give an example. "Suicide" is considered as the greatest sin, even though no one else is troubled other than the one individual, because God has given us this wonderful body and mind to do "sadhana" by which we work towards moksha. By rejecting this offer or by cutting short this "sadhana", we are insulting God and betraying him. Thus suicide is considered highly sinful. There is another example in the scriptures I would like to cite. Suppose there is a very, very old man, incapable of doing any physical and mental activities. Then according to the scriptures he can enter into fire to end his life. That is not considered a sin because he cannot do any more "sadhana" by himself or through others. So in general, any act which is cutting short our, or others', "sadhana" is considered as a sin. Thus from this angle, vegetarians are committing less sins than those who eat meat.
Question Two:
We were thinking that only human beings have thinking ability, and thus only they can do "sadhana" (spiritual practices), but that other animals could not. Is this concept false? How can animals do "sadhana"?
Answer by Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji:
This is not true. All animals can also do "sadhana" (spiritual practices). Otherwise there is a fundamental problem in the universal system. If animals cannot do "sadhana", they can not get better lives, which lead to the human life. If they can not get a human life, then they can not get moksha (liberation) at all at any time. This is not true, thus it is proven that animals also do "sadhana" and get better lives.
They do "sadhana" by their mental activities. We can see a lot of differences in the behaviors of various animals. In the same category of, say cat, dog or cow, we can see a lot of difference between two animals. For example some are soft, some are sensitive, some are more active, etc. This is due to their mental "sadhana". Also in children, who are not having developed thinking power, we can see many differences. We have seen a child, in Bombay, around 2 years old. He loves Krishna like anything. While sleeping, he tightly hugs a Krishna idol. He does not drink milk without offering to Krishna. He always wants to listen to Krishna's stories. He always wants to see the puja of Krishna. It is really amazing to witness. This is all due to previous "samskara" (purification). Like this, animals also will have their own previous samskara and "sadhana".
Question Three:
Is it true that in olden days, the sages used to eat meat? There is an incident of Agasthya Muni eating meat in the "Vathapi - Ilvala" story.
Answer by Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji:
Yes, we can see some mention about such things in very old stories. We need to understand clearly why and under what circumstances they used to consume meat. Firstly, they used to take meat, but not as their regular food. The animal would be offered to 'yajna', the sacred fire, and then the sages, having very high yogic power, would consume the meat as a prasada of the yajna. Due to this auspicious activity (of yajna), the animal would go to the heavens. In the story of Agusthya Muni, when he said ' vathapi jirno bhava', he was digested immediately. Such was the power of the sages in those days.
But today meat is not approved for religious people such as brahmanas. First we need to understand why we consume food. It is to have good health. Health means not only the physical health, but the mental health also plays a very important role. That's why in Sanskrit it is known as "swasthya", which means mental peace, purity and health. Meat or non-vegetarian food improves the body, but not the mind. So for those people who need to have physical strength, like soldiers, meat is not prohibited. Soldiers do not need to have as much thinking power. They have to fight like machines. But for spiritual people such as brahmanas, mental power is the more important. We need to have peace and purity of mind, stability and concentration of mind. For such people meat is prohibited. Since ages our ancestors were eating vegetarian food, and so brahmanas are generally considered as soft, kind hearted, stable and intelligent people. If we start consuming meat, slowly we will loose all these good qualities. We will not see these negative changes overnight. It takes time but we will see the changes clearly in the later generations.
Question Four:
There are many noble laureates who are meat eaters. How can we explain that?
Answer by Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji:
Getting a noble prize is not at all a yardstick to measure the peace and purity, stability and concentration of someone's mind. It is known that the suicide rate is high in scientists as well. Actually scientists are more disturbed in their mind. Due to this, they get activated and get involved deeply in something and come out with some new concepts or ideas. For their success, the basic reason is not the peaceful mind, but their disturbed mind. Generally brahmanas who are suppose to have the mental capacity to understand "brahman" (God), need to have a very good concentration power for performing "japa" (mantra chanting) and "tapa" (austerities). They are supposed to be people who are not mentally disturbed. In olden days even if they consumed meat, they used to keep up their mental stability and peace of mind due to their yogic power or "tapas" (severe austerity). But now in the present age of kali-yuga, our mental powers and concentration powers are getting reduced. We are loosing our purity and peace of mind due to various reasons. As such, the sattvic atmosphere and sattvic qualities are reducing because we are not doing enough japa, tapa, etc. So if we start consuming meat we will loose all our good mental qualities very quickly. In kaliyuga, meat is strictly prohibited for brahmanas. It is also sinful for all people, as mentioned in the previous answers.
Question Five:
Is it not a sin to kill silkworms for silk cloth, or to kill deers for making deer skin meditation mats?
Answer by Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji:
The short answer is that it is a sin if we do it for trading purposes. For a detailed answer, first we need to understand what is sin. It is not a substance associated with a particular activity. The same activity can result in either sin or no sin depending upon the purpose, intention and circumstance. For example, killing in general is a sin, but killing a demon or murderer is not a sin. Similarly, in olden days kings used to go for hunting. It was not considered a sin because they used to kill only those wild animals which were troublesome to the sages and the nearby villagers. Similarly if we kill animals to avoid being killed, it is not a sin. As said earlier, every creature in this world is here for doing "sadhana". In this world the priority is for those who are doing greater "sadhana". To accomplish that, if others have to sacrifice their "sadhana", there is no harm in that. For example, assume that there are two students in a house. One is preparing for second grade and the other is preparing for a college medical exam. Though both are preparing for their exams, we consider that the medical exam is more important and give preference to him. If needed, we may ask the other student to sacrifice his preparation, because he will not lose much. Similarly, in this world, the living entity who is doing a higher level of sadhana, gets preference. So for the benefit of the higher sadhana, others performing lesser sadhana may be sacrificed without any sin. If we are preparing silk for God's pooja, then it is not a sin. But if we are preparing silk for decorating ourselves, then it is a sin. So we need to understand what is the purpose of the action, and what is going to be achieved finally.
