Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I agree, especially since the President is an Islam and still sees Mother regularly. That caught my attention, personally. Jai ma! -Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 An intriguing individual, certainly, and the fact he is President of the second most populated country in the world. It is wonderful Mother seems to have reached him, and I understand sees him yearly. It is a much bigger deal than it appears to us in the United States, huge to contemplate in fact, as India is so huge and I still meet Hindus who have not heard of Mother, the fact their President over the entire country seems close to Mother is a very very important thing. - "GeorgeSon" <leokomor <ammachi> Friday, December 16, 2005 12:00 PM President of India Info > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Kalam > > > > > > > > > Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha! > Links > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Dear Katie and D., In the interest of accuracy it is my understanding that the President of India is mostly ceremonial. The actual head of State is the Prime Minister of India. It is indeed fascinating that a Muslem is an Amma devotee (as it were). But is she not the Mother of Us All? I find a few other aspects intriguing. Doctor Kalam was the Chief Scientist of India before running for President. To my knowledge he had no previous interest in politics. Similar to our Jimmy Carter Dr. Kalam is an engineer. He was one of India's top Rocket Scientists responsible for India's Satellite system President Kalam though a top of the notch Scientist reads the Koran and Bhagavad Gita. It does not appear that scientific knowledge has made him agnostic. Another admirable trait is that the President is practicing brahmachari (sexual abstinence) and is a teetotaler. How many American politicians are publically sexually abstinent? How can a woman who never entered High School command the respect of a major scientist? Dr. Kalam considere Amma to be an advisor. I have a picture of Amma walking with the Prez. in his Presidential Garden. Amma is talking and he is listening VERY attentively.

The Prime Minister is "head of government", while the President is "head of state". He is mostly a ceremonial figurehead, like Canada's Governor-General. Actually India had a Governor-General for a few years after independence.. the President's home in New Delhi is the pre-1947 Viceroy's old residence, Rashtrapati Bhavan. > > It is indeed fascinating that a Muslem is an Amma > devotee > (as it were). But is she not the Mother of Us All? Over the years, they have had Christians, Muslims and Sikhs serve as President.. but a PM who wasn;t a Hindu..has that happened at all since '47? > > I find a few other aspects intriguing.

He isn't elected to the job.. doesn't have to run for office.. my understanding is that the President is chosen by the PM and confirmed by a vote in the Lok Sabha (Indian parliament). > To my knowledge he had no previous interest in > politics. > Similar to our Jimmy Carter Dr. Kalam is an > engineer. > > He was one of India's top Rocket Scientists > responsible > for India's Satellite system Like Canada's Governor-General, it's not necessary to have been a politician before being appointed to serve as President.. it's an honor for service to his country (though in Canada, the G-G appointment has now become just another patronage position offered to slobbering Liberal Party hacks!) > > Another admirable trait is that the President is > practicing brahmachari (sexual abstinence) and is a > teetotaler. > > How many American politicians are publically > sexually > abstinent? Since George Washington's time, probably none! A couple of U.S. presidents claimed to be teetotalers (Rutherford B. Hayes, for one), and of course Gee Dubya claims he stopped drinking after he got busted for DUI and found Jesus. visit the President of India's web site http://presidentofindia.nic.in/ Keval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
