Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Yes, each one of us can do a lot of good things to make India and all Indians a little happier. I am doing what I can do best at my age of 75, to relieve pain and suffering of those who have been suffering a lot of pain inspite of all sorts of treatments and even after running from pillar to post. Every week, I go to senior citizens and groups of other people, address them and demonstrate how they can themselves cure their various aches and pains with simple food, exercises and meditation. More than 30,000 persons have been thus benefited and in turn they have started helping their other friends and relatives wherever they go. That is out of my own experience when doctors could not cure me of various body aches and pains. I took shelter in Mother Nature and got cured. That benefit I am passing on to all others whoever need it. In the same way, each one of us has one's own experience and through that, one can help others. But the greatest stumbling block is government. It is full of opportunists who having eyes, don't see, having ears, don't listen and having capacity to do a lot, don't act. When I treated high officials and even ministers of governments, they got the benefit for themselves but did nothing, neither to encourage me nor to help others as even common people have been doing. Politicians are so rigid that I would have pulled them down for inaction if I had the power. Even today, the Republic Day, what they did was to waste millions, nay billions or even trillions of rupees by organising a big tamasha that no other nation ever does, not even well-off nations, while we are a country with 50 per cent below the poverty line. Instead of uplifting them, the governments go on wasting money on such ceremonies in every state capital and every department and institution. Instead a simple flag hoisting ceremoney with a pledge-takig is more than sufficient without spending much. For the last 18 years, I have been asking newspaper readers to give their opinion whether such an extra-vaganza as is witnessed on Rajpath today is necessary. 99.9 per cent have always said "It is not necessary and a simple flag-hoisting ceremony should be done". That public opinion was sent to the President of India and the government. No one did anything, not even a reply to me as a matter of courtesy. Lots of criminals and goondas have entered politics and have been ruling this country by managing votes through caste,creed and religion-based sectarian politics where concerned citizens can do little. And, that we call a democracy. India does deserve a better form of democracy where selfless social workers are persuaded to go for elections and not any one having an eye on muscle and money power. Hence, let us go on doing whatever we can to help our fellow human beings directly. THAT IS ACTION NO, ONE. ACTION NUMBER TWO IS: LET US THINK, HOW WE CAN USHER IN A REAL DEMOCRACY RUN BY GOOD PEOPLE, NOT GOONDAS. Hari Om! God, bless India. S. M.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Namaskarji, I agree, a a smiple flag hoisting with the pledge to end corruption would be a wonderful thing. India is a gem that is being clouded by corruption. It makes me literally cry when I think of this. Mocies like Rangade Vasanthi, Bhagath Singh, Laaja, water etc are all great gifts by Indians who are trying to bring change. When I think of republic day my heart aches for all of those who gave their lives for India's fredom - if they could witness the horror that exists today in India they would surely give their lives again.
