Q1 Why we cannot see GOD; why do we not see chaste English from a
couple of people in the group? Why can't we see the air?; Why are we unable
to see the rock bottom of the sea or the space beyond Saturn? Apara kriya
appearing again after a long time repetitive from a web site which is a pet
subject of Goplala who extracted from his Guru and later addressed him as
"ivanellam oru Guru ''; why? At 70 plus people had to learn answers to
these questions. If you learn apara kriya now after your death, will you
perform for yourself? Out of the world population, hardly 0.3% of the
population has these processes; that too, out of 0.3% 2000 divisions are
there with different procedures. By rule no brahmin can afford to part with
the agni he acquired at the time of Brahma yagnam; how many brahmins hold
that fire with them?. The smart preachers who do in a foreign soil , should
have carried that agni for the last samskara -had he done that? And when a
brahmin crosses the sea will he still continue to have followed the
samskaras? Maybe hence the subject was lost but only chaste English was
remembered? Is English really chaste? A brahmin is a brahmin and a brahmin
only when..........Then all the rest 99.7% will go to hell only including
the Singapore citizens? No animosity or fun; food for thought.
*phenomena *a fact or an event in nature or society, especially one that
is not fully understood. That is not fully understood means it is not
perceivable correct? So all that you perceive are fully understood by all
including the writer? A wrong question and a wrong answer. Is GOD a
phenomenon?
Q2 Easwara. Simulation is used in so many fields.
Q3 Eating anything has a name when one sees in their nations; when
touched the mind thinks that you are eating that; but once it goes down, it
changes into only chemicals. So whether what chemical helps or not is a one
liner. What grape does or not an amala may or may not do. Do you have
dentureless teeth to chew and bite?
Q4 Matter of national importance shall not be carried out so
carelessly.

{Question itself shows the ignorance as well as spoken against the truth
Read below for authentic version: K Rajaram IRS 7 8 23 } NATIONAL ANTHEM
AND THE NATIONAL SONG MUST BE DISTINGUISHED.
1 Whenever someone plays or sings the national anthem of India, no
matter where we are, we all come together, stand at attention, salute, and
chant ‘Jana Gana Mana’. The national anthem is the pride of India and
Indians are proud of it. Composed by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore,
the anthem highlights India’s national heritage and demonstrates patriotism
and loyalty to one’s country. ‘Jana Gana Mana’ reflects the history,
traditions and composite culture of India. It has been serving as an
expression of national identity since its adoption. The national anthem,
composed by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, reflects India’s people and
history.
2 Origin & Evolution On December 27, 1911, Rabindra Nath Tagore
performed the anthem for the first time during a Congress meeting in
Calcutta. Who would have thought that the song would one day serve as
India's national anthem and a fundamental obligation. “Every Indian citizen
has a responsibility to uphold the Constitution's values and institutions,
as well as the National Flag and the National Anthem’’, according to
Article 51A(a) of the Indian Constitution. It was again performed in the
year 1941, Subhash Chandra Bose adopted a slightly different version from
the original song which was called ‘Shubh Sukh Chain’ which gained
popularity among the masses on August 15, 1947, Capt. Thakuri of the INA
was invited to perform with members of his orchestra group.
3 Significance of Tricolour in India's national flag explained Tagore
wrote the first anthem in Bengali ‘Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata’ which later was
edited and translated as ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and was adopted as the national
anthem on January 24, 1950, with an announcement by the then president Dr
Rajendra Prasad. Major Translations First Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
translated the national anthem from Bengali which had been Sanskritised to
Hindi. Captain Abid Ali provided the Hindi translation, and Captain Ram
Singh provided the music. Later Margaret, the great Irish poet James
Cousin's wife and the dean of Besant Theosophical College translated it
into English. Later the national anthem was translated into all the 22
national languages and many regional languages
4 As being a fundamental obligation according to the article 51A, section
(a) one has to respect the National anthem and song. Later in 1971, the
National Honour Act of 1971 section (3), was introduced which stated that
strict punishment will be meted out for disrespecting the national anthem.
II vande Mataram and meaning:
5 Vande Mataram is the national song of India. It was composed by Bankim
Chandra Chatterjee in a mixture of Bengali and Sanskrit. Vande Mataram
comes from a poem from Bankim Chandra's 1882 novel Anandamath. The first
political occasion where it was sung was the 1896 session of the Indian
National Congress. In 1950 (after India's independence), the song's first
two verses were given the official status of the "national song" of the
Republic of India, distinct from the national anthem of India, Jana Gana
Mana. In 2003, BBC World Service conducted an international poll to choose
ten most famous songs of all time. Around 7000 songs were selected from all
over the world. According to BBC, people from 155 countries/island voted.
Vande Mataram was second in the top 10 songs. Here is a Raag Des
composition sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Below you can find the lyrics and
several translations of Vande Mataram.

10 On 24 January 1950, the Constituent Assembly of India has adopted
"Vande Mataram" as national song. On the occasion, the first President of
India, Rajendra Prasad stated that the song should be honoured equally with
the national anthem of India, "Jana Gana Mana". However the Constitution of
India does not have any mention of "national song". The first two verses of
the song are an abstract reference to mother and motherland, they do not
mention any Hindu deity by name, unlike later verses that do mention
goddesses such as Durga. There is no time limit or circumstantial
specification for the rendition of this song unlike the national anthem
"Jana Gana Mana" that specifies 52 seconds. Parts of the Vande Mataram was
chosen as the national song in 1937 by the Indian National Congress as it
pursued independence of India from the British colonial rule, after a
committee consisting of Maulana Azad, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhash Bose,
Acharya Deva and Rabrindanath Tagore recommended the adoption. The entire
song was not selected by Hindu leaders in order to respect the sentiments
of non-Hindus, and the gathering agreed that anyone should be free to sing
an alternate "unobjectionable song" at a national gathering if Vande
Maataram - An ode to the motherland Controversies with Vande Mataram they
do not want to sing Vande Mataram because they find it "objectionable" for
a personal reason.
11 According to the gathered leaders, including the Nobel Laureate
Rabindranath Tagore, though the first two stanzas began with an
unexceptionable evocation of the beauty of the motherland, in later stanzas
there are references to the Hindu goddess Durga. The Muslim League and
Muhammad Ali Jinnah opposed the song. Thereafter, with the support of
Mahatma Gandhi and Jawahar Lal Nehru, the Indian National Congress decided
to adopt only the first two stanzas as the national song to be sung at
public gatherings, and other verses that included references to Durga and
Lakshmi were expunged. Rajendra Prasad, who was presiding the Constituent
Assembly on 24 January 1950, made the following statement which was also
adopted as the final decision on the issue:
“ The composition consisting of the words and music known as Jana Gana
Mana is the National Anthem of India, subject to such alterations in the
words as the Government may authorise as occasion arises; and the song
Vande Mataram, which has played a historic part in the struggle for Indian
freedom, shall be honoured equally with Jana Gana Mana and shall have equal
status with it. (Applause). I hope this will satisfy the Members.
—Constituent Assembly of India, Vol. XII, 24-1-1950[47]”
