Pranam I need not write anything to anyone; he earns; he is steadfast as yoga centers owners of the USA in minting money, exploiting the ignorance and calculating on their pain. The pity is now India was forced to dry out for the past 250 years and now made a new market to sell our product with a different foreign brand name. We all suck them. Maybe in another 1000 years, Mark Twine may tell us that Upanishads and Vedas were given to them by Jesus Christ and all of us will become ........ The sthula has only data software and it cannot work without any hardware; soul is not interested in anybody; mind data has no playable instrument; and half learnt stories we ourselves could have spun. But we think he did it. As in Kashmir files, we always make loud sounds after the horses have bolted. We will not place our grandchildren in Chinmaya centers heer, but we all will take them by car 50 miles, every sunday morning, chit chat outside and pick them up back. We will wash all the puja utensils outside India but not in our own villages. We are always late. The video of Katha Upanishad is also available in the media but we trace only half-baked egg stories which can also be like preaching of buddhism. God can remember all but not we. (B G). Vedantic or Sankya out of the vedantic, explained without any proof as we think today as proof, hammered the truth; we still do not express our appreciation for their brilliances and try to learn. But we aspire for the cakes and tolls. Why?. No one is an absloute christian; absolute muslim; absloute buddist; absolute sikhs; or Jains; or any one including atheists. If so why we are not that much vedics at least is my question. Sarve jana sukino bhavantu means I follow my swadharma and I do appreciate all other dharmas; but when someone pokes his dharma on others, I do warn him is my right; secularism has a definition.
