Return to Health ; Return to Nature.

February 28, 2006

Dear Family, The only way to return to health is to completely return to natural methods and stop tinkering with nature. All the thinkers in issues as diverse as health, to education, climate, farming, industry, are talking of this urgent need to change our priorities. Health does not mean wealth alone but also personal happiness and the inward urge to increase the happiness quotient of the world. We can be happy and healthy only if the entire world is happy and healthy. While trying to draft the health policy that I would like, I am literally stumped. I realise that the entire society, science, and our way of looking at the world should change if we can even dream of returning to health. After writing more than thirty pages I simply erased the whole thing as nobody would read it in the present caucophony of this materialistic and oppurtunistic world. If they do ever read it, nobody will agree to it. It is thus better to start at the fundamentals like; 1. Trying to increase the holistic health budget.2. Reorganisation of the educational setup so that students get better facilities and also experienced teachers who can teach them the subtle nuances of holistic healing.3. Trying to get the cream of the students interested in medicine, to study holism.4. Spreading awareness about the healing principles.5. Trying to get the babies to be treated holistically as far as possible so that they develop better immunity base.6. Getting the holistic principles introduced into the school/college curicullums as compulsory subjects unlike environmental studies which is optional and out of purview of the examination scope. The teaching of yoga and meditation should be compulsory also.7. Introduction of value based education; teaching of the Samkhya philosophy, and the Vedic world view, the concept

of One World - One Family.8. Strengthening of the family structure. Teaching the benefits of a restrained, moral life and also the need for respect between partners in marriage.9. Making health and education totally free for the poor and needy.10.Teaching the general population the basics of naturopathy and reflexology. This has already been started by the International Institute of Naturopathy which has its HQ at Pune perhaps. 11. Spreading awareness about and fighting peacefully and democratically against harmful chemicals in our environment and food. Similiarly encouraging the organic farming movement. Reducing pollution. Encouraging vegetarianism. 12. Reducing tensions both at the work place as well as educational institutions by ensuring better working conditions, optimum working time, less study load etc. 13. Students should be taught how to live judiciously and given sufficient time to play

and they should not just be crammed with information. In the present setup we have totally done away with the innocent pleasures of childhood and youth. 14. Caring about our environment and having fellow feeling towards other species. I would request you all to kindly add to and supplement/criticise these rough suggestions of mine. Please remember, we can do it. Love & Regards, Jagannath. "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.

Get a chartered accountant to cost the proposals.

You will then see why they are impractical , in todays

business,political climate.

If you can find a way to ensure that someone benefits

financially by putting your scheme to work --- you

might get action!.

Anyone for a revolution

February 28, 2006

Hold tight James.

A revolution is just around the corner. I can feel it coming.

For any idea to succeed, we must first believe in it. I have both faith

and belief. These will move the mountains for me.

The most important thing for any man is his life. When his life is in

the dock, he will do anything that is necessary to save himself. When

modern man fully realises the mess and the threat to his life, he will

just tuck his tail and run back home.

Into our arms !!!!!!!!

Love,

Jag,

I,m with you

A mammoth task, I agree. Start by eliminating the word "trying".

Put a space between each point so it looks less amateurish. (I can't do it now I've used numbering formatting)

Find a Politician to adopt & present it for you

I've rehashed what you wrote - tell me what you think. If you are going to present it properly then you need to divided eventually into the separate sections that you represent and present each section for serious consideration to the appropriate Minister or political group pr groups who are already in place who deal with this type of reform. Or you need to get someone to do this for you.

You need to offer incentives to the politicians too, i.e. reduction of health costs if you educate the public (they may not want to - they may have been encouraged to eliminate the population - this is something you have to consider)

If necessary take Ghandi's principles and fit yours here below around them - that is if Ghandi is still revered in your country. Give yourself some backing in this way..

Increase the holistic health budget.

Reorganisation of the education system to ensure that students have better facilities.

Ensure that students have experienced teachers who can teach them the importance of a healthy lifestyle to include holistic healing.

Have incentives to encourage students to study holistic medicine.

Spread awareness of the healing principles.

Have infants treated holistically, to develop a better immunity base, to reduce the ernormous cost of infant welfare

Introduce holistic principles as a compulsory subject into the school and college curicullum.

The teaching of yoga and meditation also a compulsory portion of the curriculum.

Introduction of a value based education. (Teaching of the Samkhya philosophy, and the Vedic world view, the concept of One World - One Family.)

Strengthen the family structure. Teaching the benefits of a moral life and the need for respect between children and parents and between partners in marriage.

Health and education to be free for the poor and needy.

The general population to be taught the basics of naturopathy and reflexology. (This has already been started by the International Institute of Naturopathy which has its HQ at Pune)

Spread awareness of peaceful and democrat objection against harmful chemicals in our food and environment.

Encourage the organic farming movement.

Reduction of pollution, from the householder to the industrial giant.

Encourage vegetarianism.

Offer better workplace and educational conditions, thereby reducing stress and friction in student and workers.

Offer optimum work time, lessen study loads.

Students to be taught to live judiciously and given sufficient time for appropriate recreation.

Care of our environment.

Appropriate treatment of other species.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I fully agree with shri. Jagannath ji. On the behalf of Bharat Uday

Mission(http://bharatudaymission.org), I am preparing a draft of health care

policies. I have included all these points in the proposal.

" In brief, Bharat Uday Mission (BM) is an ideal political party of India which

aims to attain political power only through social service and only for social

service, with final goal of a developed and prosperous India.We are completely

dedicated to revamp the present degenerative socio-political system, so that our

country can become a developed nation in all respects. The only goal of Bharat

Uday Mission is to wipe every tear from every eye to the highest possible

extent, first in India and finally in the whole world, through an ideal

combination of spiritual, social, economic and political means. "

The revolution has begun and thousand of young Indian patriots are uniting for

the cause. BM will adopt holistic appraoch in all walks of life. and BM is an

experiments of spiritual politics in India. This Mission stands for all the

greater truths, e.g. arth, dharma kaam moksha, everything will be centred with

one of human life; Self-realization. I urge well wishers of humanity to

encourage this movement/experiment and change course of world history.

I am hopeful whatever have been proposed as the truth, Bm will strive to

achieve. BM patriots, renouncing their all, will be walking all across the

nation, every village every street.

BM will establish Karmyogi ashrams (Centres for truthful and sustainable

progress),ideally, in each village of India. Through These ashrams and political

means India will rise as a great nation. Ashram will have four pillors : 1)

Gurukul (school) 2) Shodh shala (research lab for energy, medical and

agriculture research), 3) Kutumb ( common family) for spiritual developement and

practice of universal brother hood and training centres of satyagrahis to fight

against social and political evils/injustice 4) Agriculture and dairy farms as

economic base.... whole idea is to retun back to nature. Transcend liberty and

achieve liberation in the eterbal journey of life towards infinity where

everthing is the Truth.

Forgive for wrong words.

with truth

India, Bharat Uday Mission, at http://bharatudaymission.org

The rise of a Great Nation. "
