[Assam] Buddha Vihar in Gauhati
Dear Assam Net, If you visit the www.sentnelassam.com and look at the first page of 13 October, a very heartening picture will greet you. The Buddhist Shanti Bahini of CHT (Chattagong Hill Tracts) with the backing of India was a very postive development. Why are the Assamese Buddhists lagging behind in developing such a strategy ? Do not they realise that the Bddhist is the THIRD largest Religion in the world and Assamese need to pick up the trails like the lost tribes of Jews have done and given direction to the future of their land? Wishing you all peace and wellbeing.

[Assam] only Christian evangilists read Vedas??
Hi, after yesterday's remark on Rig Veda --I decided to get a copy of the infamous Atharva Veda -- on which all anti dalit and casteist remarks are credited. I rang up a gent to find the address of Geeta Press , Gorakhpur's main shop here --and travelled to the heart of Pinkcity --Johari Bazaar --and in that too the lane where the maximum gem trade takes place ---the Haldiyon Ka rasta --in the grand and ancient "Bullion building" was this shop ---but they did not have any Vedas!! I learnt that the most authoritative publisher of Hindu books was not interested in publishing the Vedas . I learnt that perhaps some body in obscure bareilly is publishing them --and they occupy thousands of pages and cost a lot. They didn't have what I wanted -- a copy of Atharva Veda --where each line is given in Sanskrit --with its Hindi or English translation ---they didn't have iit --and neither did they no of any respectable source. If this is the state of Vedas --it is no surprise that anyone can publish anything --including all sorts of anti-Dalit crap --and call it the Hindu law. The people who can take the greatest advantage of it are the Christian Evangelists --and not surprisingly --their website springs up on an internet search of Veda books --check out their doleful, critical anallysis of Vedas --wherethey are called monotonous and what not!! The monotony of the Rig-Veda is due not only to the nature of its mythological content, but also to the fact that hymns to the same deity are usually grouped together. Thus, approximately 500 hymns are addressed to two gods alone: Indra, the god of lightning and storms, and Agni, the god of fire http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15318a.htm - I've purchased a Hindi translation --much abridged --by a publisher better known for publishing cheap hindi thrillers -- and tht at the most well stocked Hindu bbook shop -- why don't these socalled keepers of Hindu faith do something about it --rather than carp about the Ram Temple --- as far as I can make out --Vedic Rishis were never interested in temple worship. Umesh PS --I include some Hindu web links too --just for comparison -- though the Christian one is way ahead in depth of knowldge --howwever biased it may be.Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

[Assam] THANKS
Dear Friend, My name is JANG DOO-HWAN, The brother of Mr. CHUN DOO-HWAN, the former President of South Korea who seized power in a military coup in 1979 and who ruled from 1979 to 1987. My brother was pushed out of office and charged with treason, corruption and embezzlement of over 21 billion won. He was wrongly sentenced to death but fortunately AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL stepped in and commuted the sentence to life. We thank God that he has finally been released though still under house arrest in the sense of the conditions of his freedom. During my brother's regime as president of South Korea, we realized some reasonable amount of money from various deals that we successfully executed. I have plans to invest this money for my childrens future in real estate and industrial production. Before my brother was overthrown, I secretly siphoned the sum of $20,000,000.00 Million USD (Twenty Million United States dollars) out of Seoul and deposited the money with a Security Firm that transports valuable goods and consignments through diplomatic means. I am contacting you because I want you to deal with the Security Firm and claim the money on my behalf since I have declared that the consignment belong to my Foreign Business Partner. You shall also be required to assist me in investments in your country. I hope to trust you as a God fearing person who will not sit on this money when you claim it, rather you would assist me properly. I intend to give you 20% of the total money if you can assist me claim these from the security company.When I receive your positive response I will let you know where the Security Firm is and the Payment Pin Code to claim the money which is very important. What I need is for you to indicate your interest that you will assist me by receiving the money on my behalf in Europe. For this, you shall be considered to be the beneficiary of the money. The project in brief, is that the funds with which we intend to carry out our proposed investments in your country, is presently in the custody of a Diplomatic Courier Service Company in Europe. I cannot do this myself because I am presently living in a Western European Country and my Status here is that of a Political Refugee and moreover I do not want the Government of my Country to know about the money because they will believe I got the money from my brother while he was still in office as President. Once you confirm the receipt of the money, I would leave where I am presently located and come over with my Children to your Country to start a new life with my Family. As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is successfully transferred into your account, I intend to use my own share in acquiring some estates in your country. For this purpose also, you shall be my project manager for the properties I hope to acquire in your country and you will be paid based on a certain percentage agreed upon by both of us. For now, let all our communication be by e-mail because of the nature of this transaction but for more details on this transaction you can contact my lawyer (Bar Harry Fenadez) on this tel number 0031-630-674-930. It is very important you contact him because he will be the one to represent me in all legal matters to back this pending transaction since i cannot move at the momemt. Please send me your Telephone and Fax numbers as it would be better for me to get to you now by any of this means. This would be for our better peace of mind before and after these funds are transferred into your account. The reason why it took this long to get to you was because of the Security Firm's agreement with me which was that my brother must personally sign the Power of Attorney that would transfer title to the prospective beneficiary. It was a long wait but it has now paid off. His excellency, Chun Doo-Hwan does not want to be personally involved for security and personal reasons. Your quick response will be highly appreciated. Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation. Yours faithfully, JANG DOO-HWAN ___ Assam mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/listinfo/assam To unsubscribe or change options: http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/options/assam
Fwd: [Assam] Fwd: FW: Bobby Jindal
Sonny, Umesh Sharma and the others interested, here is an email that came flowing down towards me.Jane, I am not sure how you got my email id(assuming you are in this list!) - maybe you googled your way into the posting on Bobby Jindal. Cheers, Partha --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Assam] Fwd: FW: Bobby Jindal Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2003 11:25:01 -0500 Hello, I hope my email does not intrude on your privacy or offend you. Today is election day in my home state of Louisiana. I am Louisiana, born and bred. I am officially of Cajun/Catholic heritage. I consider myself Acadian/Spanish as that is the true origins of my ancesters. I have supported Bobby Jindal since he first announced his candadicy for governor, not because of his religion, of which I knew nothing until I read your postings. I support him because he is brilliant, young and ambitions. I have the priviledge to be a public school educator in Louisiana for 28 years. Politics in Louisiana is at best a mixed bag of tricks. I see Bobby Jendal as a refreshing change to that policy. I know the feeling of being ostracized by the fundamentalist Christian community, which is against Catholics. Believe me, I have heard that the only way to salvation is through Christ and have been reprimanded when I say that my God would never send victims of the Holocast to hell simply because they were Jewish. My daughter has converted to a non-denominational church and has changed some of her views. She is an adult and is free to do so. But she also recognizes that Bobby Jindal is a refreshing change to the status quo. Please do not think that all Christians are fundamentalists; we are not. I do not support Bobby Jindal because he is an Indian/American, I support him because he is highly intelligent, energetic, and a refreshing change to the old-time politicians. I hope my candidate will be successful because Louisiana needs a fresh approach to its leadership and I think Bobby Jindal offer us the best opportunity for a good future. Again, I hope I have not intruded on you or offended you. I read your postings to get a new perspective on Bobby Jindal. My vote has been cast previously to reading you postings. My mind has not changed. I hope I cast a little insight for you as to what Bobby Jindal could mean to my home state. By the way, my ancestors and I have not forgiven the French for selling the Louisiana Territory to the Americans 200 years ago. We are still waiting for an apology. My Spanish ancestors, who were officials in the Spanish government in Louisiana were transferred to other Spanish territories. Traditions die hard here also. American by birth, Louisianian by the grace of God. There is one destination, but many paths. We are free to choose the path of our own. Sincerely, Jane S.
