About Hinduism

Hi..this time i would like to share something on theology. Recently watched a movie called "ZEITGIEST". According to the movie, Religion - christianity in particular - is nothing but a big blunder, a fictious feeling, an excuse - well created and carried forward - by the church to give a sacred name to their hieneous acts and unethical deeds. According to the movie, Jesus Christ is a fictious character and Bible has been lifted straight away from the ancient Egyptian scripts. Similarly for the other religions as well. Well, i would not comment on how much the movie claimed was correct or truth because im niether the right person nor i think i have sufficient knowledge to comment on the same and hence have no right to do it.Also, i respect Jesus and therefore my conscience doesnt allow me to do so.( Yes, I go to church every christmas) . But , directly or indirectly this movie increased the stature of Hindy mythology in my heart. He - the director of the movie - could compare and disregard any religion or faith in the world but Hinduism. He could not contradict or defy the sanctity of Hinduism and I think no one can ever do that because there are no flaws in Hinduism and its ethos. For example the Ram Sethu which has its mention in the RAMAYANA has been discoverd by the NASA sattelites. Similarly, the ruins of the holy city of DWARKA ruled by Lord KRISHNA and made by VISHWAKARMA has been found by the oceanographers ( have i used the right word ?) . The holy city MATHURA still has the jail where Lord KRISHNA is said to have taken birth. Hinduism, I think is differen from all other religions because it starts from the beginning of the universe ( whereas in literatures from other religion.. the moment THE BIG BANG is simply described as the work of The GOD) which is said to be created by LORD SHIVA and the literature contains or disusses everything till eternity. This is the greatness of Hinduism. It scientifically explains every natural phenomena. We have literatures on everything right from philosophy to medicine to lifestyle to education to sex to yoga and what not. Max Mueller once said “If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply 
pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India.”   He, no doubt, refers to the spiritual knowlege given by Hinduism and its scriptures. People say there are many social taboos in hinduism for eg. sati pratha , i would like to mention that these worsds and pracrises has been wrongly highlited or adapted or understood by the people( no doubt it includes our ancestors from India as well.). To understand the true and literary concept behind the sati pratha , i would like you to read the article at this URL : http://www.articlesbase.com/religion-articles/sati-pratha-in-hinduism-true-face-198194.html.

Some people held hindu sciptures responsinble for promoting odd feelings about it . For eg. the stanza from Ramayan goes as:

‘Dhol Gawanr Shudra Pashu Nari, Sakal Tadan ke Adhikari’

This stanza has an entirely different meaning as thought by the people. kindly refer to the above url to know the literary meaning.

Great is the religion and great is the country where this religion came into existense. Once again, I would like to mention that by this article I does not mean to offend or hurt people having faith in other religions. I respect their religion as well as their right to follow faith of thier own choice . i wrote this article just to show the greatness I found in Hinduism. 

The worst effect of the ongoing economic crisis

Credit crunch has not even spared Hugh Hefner - and conditions at his end have gone so worse that the Playboy founder has opened doors of his renowned mansion to the public - for a fee.

According to reports, Hefner was advised last month to fire some of his staff in his Los Angeles and New York offices to avoid financial ruin.

But, his spokesperson Elizabeth Austin gave no definite answer about the financial problems the company was facing at the time.

The Playboy boss has since extended an invitation to the exclusive parties held at the mansion, in return for money.

The tickets to the notorious parties range from 5,000 dollars to 25,000 dollars, depending on the celebrities in attendance.

Hefner has to pay a reported rent of 700,000 dollars annually for the mansion, owned by his Playboy Enterprises.

Meanwhile, a company spokesperson has denied that Hefner's recent split from girlfriends Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson have anything to do with his monetary problems.

The girls "are not even on the payroll. So, they would be the last to go," reports Contactmusic

SHIT MAN ;-)

Impact of decrease in CRR Ratio

I heard the news that RBI is decreasing the cash reserve ration by 150 pt. basis to increase the liquidity in the market. It will bring Rs. 60,000 crores into the Indian market. Initially I thot y RBI has taken this step as it'll again increase the rate of inflation which was afterall under control after so much efforts.. but i had a talk with vinay sir ..then i realised that this monetory measure will not have any effect on the rate of inflation as the cause of inflation were something else i.e. the crude oil price and the scarcity of commodity in the market which are under control now( crude oil fell below $83 / barrel ...AMAZING !!), but the present crisis is due to the negligible assets into the market all over the globe. Hmmmm... after all RBI ppl are not fools..silly me..

Read an article which said that FDIs too can draw back their money simply  by selling off their assets..dint get it as it went against my conventional notion of FDI investment ..then what difference remains between the FDIs and the FIIs. Can anyone help me out??

has the US time come ??

I read an article in TOI today about the US and its habit of overspending. According to the article,

 "with 5 per cent of the world’s population, the US consumes 24 per cent of the world’s energy; an average American consumes as much energy as 13 Chinese, or 31 Indians, or 128 Bangladeshis, or 370 Ethiopians. 

    America’s total calorie intake is 815 billion calories a day, which nutritionists say is some 200 billion in excess of requirement, sufficient to feed 80 million people. Moreover, each day, Americans throw away 2,00,000 tons of edible food. If developing countries wanted to live like this, four new Earth-sized planets would have to be created to provide the necessary resources."

 ( source: http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOI&BaseHref=TOIJ/2008/10/08&Page).

The US has dug the grave for themselves. Considered itself the superpower and was under the illusion that it will remain so forever. The loans given by the US banks which led to the subprime collapse are making economies all over the world feel the heat. The supepower , who has come up at the time of war of Iraq as the saviour of world, has the guts to take the responsibility of the crisis ??? 

An Indian - American, Neel Kashkari, has been appointed as the person responsible to spend th $700 bn. bailout in the market. India should make correct moves at the time so and sustain the heat of this crisis ...and if it is able to do so ..then no doubt it will be the next superpower.
