CULTURAL QA 03-2024-17A
Q1 How to be respected without saying a word?
G 1. Want respect without uttering a word? Pay attention, because I'm
about to tell you how. 2. First, dress to impress. 3. Next, move with
purpose. 4. Hold your gaze. 5. Speak only when necessary. 6. Carry yourself
with dignity. 7. These are the keys to earning respect without words.
KR These are all stated in the pep up books of modern days which will
serve respect only as long as you are tagged to that post. Immature and
irrelevant aspects to fetch respects. Narayabnasamys will never respect any
one as their minds are bogged down with rust. Yagnavalkya was ragged;
Kamban was insulted; Krishna was abused; and so, respect is never taken by
force; but grows into ones’ s mind whose mind has to be cultured. Only
self-respected knows how to respect others. Hence only a rishawala says
“PAY RESPECT AND TAKE RESPECT”.
Respect is well taught in Vedic scriptures and Tirukkural.
““They are brothers, of whom no one is the elder, no one the younger, but
who grew up together for their mutual prosperity; may their father, Rudra,
ever youthful, the doer of good deeds, and Pṛṣṇi, (their mother), easy to
be milked, grant favourable days for (the sake of) the Maruts.”

tvaṃ strī tvaṃ pumān asi tvaṃ kumāra uta vā kumārī /

You are feminine, you are masculine; you are a bachelor and a spinster too.
You as an old man totter along with the help of a stick; it is you alone
appear in the cosmic form and have faces in all directions.
The entire universe is the Lord’s manifestation alone. There is no limit to
His expression; there is no limitation to the form in which the Formless
incarnates. The Formless appearing in a multitude of forms from moment to
moment is His great play, Lila as in the case of His appearances before
Gopis or His Visvarupa Darshana before Arjuna and Yashoda.
Atharva Veda (10.8.27) says: “Lord! You are within men; you are within
women; you are within the young; you are within the old; you live within
all of us, and you exist everywhere”.— Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:3 {KR when
one sees as all equal then he had seen the paramatma in all B G)

1. O Somya, as bees produce honey by collecting the juice from various
trees and mixing them together to make one juice—”

2.—O Somya, and just as those juices now are no longer conscious of their
separate identities, thinking, ‘I am the juice from such-and-such tree,’
and ‘I am the juice from such-and-such tree’; similarly, when all these
beings attain unity in the Self, they are not conscious of it. They do not
think, ‘We [were once separate, but] now we are all one with the Self’.

4. ‘That which is the subtlest of all is the Self of all this. It is the
Truth. It is the Self. That thou art, O Śvetaketu.’ [Śvetaketu then said,]
‘Sir, please explain this to me again.’ ‘Yes, Somya, I will explain it
again,’ replied his father.

Q2 What is the news item- Not everyone is racist or a bad cop.”
KR Such things are happening daily; when I wrote some time back how
the cops took me all the way to AMMA restaurant in NY this did not strike
you and all the way from Montana on American has to come; recently my
daughter in law was stopped; she never had in the past 21 years any ticket;
so was a little worried; but she the Afro-American cop said the right door
is not properly closed; and advised to check; no ticket was given; and all
the time she had the sound bleep; but did not attend as she was brisk in
reaching grandson school. So Bad cops are only due to bad thinkers and bad
drivers. Racism and bad cops by Guna karma vibaga is all over the earth
including India.
Q3 What is the most interesting fact that you know and I don't, but I
should?
KR Makum was Hukum.
Q4 Why did Lord Krishna never meet Yashoda again?
A4 Gokul Renjith, Lives in India (1999–present)1h
Lord Krishna even after he went to Mathura did meet Yashoda and Nanda on 3
separate occasions.
After defeating Hansa and Dimbhaka, Lord Krishna rested at Govardhana
mountain. Hearing this Nanda, Yashoda and the Gopas came to visit him -
G Chapter 130, Bhavishya Parva, Harivamsa.
KR: Chapter 130 - Krishna Finds Aniruddhat: Book 2 - Vishnu Parva
Harivansha supposed to be like annexure to Mahabhartham have onlty 3 books;
adi parva has 55 chap; Vishnu parva 132 chap ; Bhavishya parva 49 chapters.
G 3. Finally, After Killing Dantavakra, Lord Krishna visited Vrindavana
and met Nanda and Yashoda again. He also gave salvation to them and to all
the gopas and gopis and send them to Vaikhunta -Here, hearing that Śiśupāla
was killed, Dantavakra came to Mathurā to fight with Kṛṣṇa. Hearing that,
Kṛṣṇa got into a chariot and came with him to Mathurā. Then he killed him,
and having crossed Yamunā, and having gone to Nanda’s abode, he saluted his
parents and consoled them. He was embraced by them. He embraced all the old
cowherds, consoled them, and pleased all living there by (giving them) many
garments and ornaments. On the charming sand-bank of Kālindī (i.e. Yamunā),
crowded with auspicious trees, he, day and night enjoying sports with the
cowherdesses, lived for three nights. In that region, all people like the
cowherd Nanda, with their sons and wives, so also beasts, birds and
animals, having divine forms, got into an aeroplane and reached the highest
place—Vaikuṇṭha. And Śrīkṛṣṇa, having given all the residents of Nanda’s
cow-pen his own infallible place, and being praised by hosts of gods,
entered the glorious Dvārāvatī.
Chapter 76, Patala Khanda, Padma Purana.
KR: Chapter 76 - The Greatness of Kṛṣṇa Padma purana Section 5 -
Pātāla-Khaṇḍa (Section on the Nether World)
The lord said:1-3. Here, hearing that Śiśupāla was killed, Dantavakra came
to Mathurā to fight with Kṛṣṇa. Hearing that Kṛṣṇa got into a chariot and
came with him to Mathurā. Then he killed him, and having crossed Yamunā,
and having gone to Nanda’s abode, he saluted his parents and consoled them.
He was embraced by them. He embraced all the old cowherds, consoled them,
and pleased all living there by (giving them) many garments and ornaments.
4-6. On the charming sand-bank of Kālindī (i.e. Yamunā), crowded with
auspicious trees, he, day and night enjoying sports with the cowherdesses,
lived for three nights. In that region, all people like the cowherd Nanda,
with their sons and wives, so also beasts, birds and animals, having divine
forms, got into an aeroplane and reached the highest place—Vaikuṇṭha. And
Śrīkṛṣṇa, having given all the residents of Nanda’s cow-pen his own
infallible place, and being praised by hosts of gods, entered the glorious
Dvārāvatī.
7-9. There he was everyday worshipped by Vāsudeva, Ugrasena, Saṃkarṣaṇa,
Pradyumna, Aniruddha, Akrūra etc. He of an omnipresent form, enjoyed on
very soft beds, strewn with flowers of the divine trees in the divine,
jewelled bowers of creepers, with his queens numbering sixteen thousand and
eight. Thus, for the welfare of the gods, for destroying the entire burden
of the earth, he descended in the Yadu family, and having destroyed all the
demons (and thus) having destroyed the great burden on the earth, having
released the immobile and mobile living in Nanda’s abode and at Dvārikā
from the bondage of the worldly existence, he established them in his
great, eternal, charming abode meditated upon by the meditating saints.
Being always waited upon by divine queens etc. Vāsudeva said to all:
“Brahman was unseparated like (the particles of) hail and ghee. Freed from
the constituents (of the Primordial Matter), he, living in the Prakṛti (the
Primordial Matter), melted and went to heaven.” {KR: Literally may be but
never said specifically met Yasodha}
Thus except one there is no other citations sink Even the one citation is
not directly evidenced.

Q1 How to be respected without saying a word:?
A1 Chauhan Babu nath, Mar 2
1. Want respect without uttering a word? Pay attention, because I'm about
to tell you how.
2. First, dress to impress. You're appearance talks before you do. So wear
the kind of clothes that say 'I'm successful and I know it'.
3. Next, move with purpose. Your walk should scream confidence. Strut like
you've got it all - because you do.
4. Hold your gaze. Eye contact speaks volumes. Don't break it first. It’s a
silent duel of dominance. Be the victor.
5. Speak only when necessary. People listen more to those who talk less.
Let your actions shout for you.
6. Carry yourself with dignity. Self-respect attracts respect. If you don’t
respect yourself, no one else will.
7. These are the keys to earning respect without words. Confidence and
power are silent. Cultivate them and watch the world bow to you.
Q2 What is the news item- Not everyone is racist or a bad cop.”
A2 Matthew Brooks,6mo
“So this happened in Montana. I'm on my way to go to my interview this
morning when I get pulled over by a police officer.
I am native American and my friend that was with me is black. Just saying.
Both brake lights decided to go out this time.
As he walked to the car and I was pulling out my stuff, he quickly said,
"Don't worry about pulling anything out. I just want you to know that your
brake lights are out."
So I'm immediately upset, because I just got them replaced like last month.
So I explained to him how Firestone wants to charge me $600 just to run a
test on the wiring of the car.
He looked at me like 😨 and told me to pop the trunk.
He checked the lights in the trunk and tapped them, but they didn't come on.
So he told me to pop the hood to check the relay box then asked me to get
out to check the other one.
Then worked on the wiring under the dash.
He could've easily given me a ticket, but Officer Jenkins stepped out of
the officer role, and into the mechanic role, and human role to make sure I
was straight.
By the way, HE FIXED THEM. Not everyone is racist or a bad cop.”
Q3 What is the most interesting fact that you know and I don't, but I
should?
A3 Saptarshi Indu, Software Engineer at Tech Mahindra
(2016–present)Updated 3y
I will tell you a short story about my hometown.
the tiny town of MAKUM which is located in far north east in the beautiful
state of Assam.
Makum has a population which is little over 15,000.Its a small town with
its own history which is in fact very interesting.
So what makes Makum so interesting ??
Well, Makum once had a thriving community of Chinese.
In the 19th century, a small Chinese community was brought to India by the
British to work as labourers in Assam’s tea gardens. Several more who were
poor and in need of work joined them subsequently over the years. As time
passed by, a small village in upper Assam came to have the highest
concentration of the community. It was called Makum, the Chinese word for
“meeting point”.area in the 1830s.
Soon, labourers from other parts of INDIA were also brought in, in the same
manner. A similar fate and shared tragedy brought the communities close.
They soon surmounted the language barrier and started intermingling. Many
of the Chinese married local women and established a new society in Assam.
A series of voluntary migrations of Chinese from China followed. This
broadened the space of the newly established society and made it more
multi-cultural and multi-ethnic as the migrants married local girls and
settled down. Their physical features changed; the descendents forgot the
Chinese language. Through sheer hard work and perseverance, the dislocated
Chinese made a new life for themselves and prospered.
There was a Chinese Club, a Chinese school, Chinese restaurants and shoe
shops. The population lived in relative peace and comfort. They wouldn’t
have imagined what fate had in store for them.
But then the 1962 Indo-China war happened and what followed was tragedy.
The war unleashed a chain of events that compelled the Chinese society
living in Assam to come face-to-face with an unfortunate situation.
The authorities arrested those they thought or believed to be Chinese. In
that process, families were separated, hard-earned property was seized as
enemy property and later auctioned.They were arrested and brought to the
police station and put in jails. They were then asked to board a closed
train, which took them to the Deoli internment in Rajasthan.
After some time the Government of India decided to deport the interned back
to China in a few batches. In this process, the already divided families
were divided again as the government selected the names randomly. The
majority of them were deported to China. Many Indian wives also accompanied
their husbands to China with their children. The interned people who were
allowed to return to their places after a couple of years again faced a
difficult situation. The property of most of the people had been auctioned
as enemy property. There was no society and no government to support them.
They were compelled to live in sheer misery and isolation. Most of them did
not get to meet their deported family members ever again.
After the war ended ,many got deported and others decided to stay back.
Those who stayed back decided to leave the tears of war behind and move
forward in life. The Chinese community of Makum who proudly call themselves
Assamese Chinese continued to contribute to the local business and helped
the town grow.They assimilated well into our society and over the years
have been living a very respectful life though only a handful of the
community survives in Makum
The former Chinatown which once had a thriving Chinese population is now
called “Chinapatty”.
The Chinese medium school has been renamed to the “Makum hindi Vidyalaya”
soon after the war ended
Makum still boosts a small but thriving Chinese community. I have my very
close friends who are Chinese.The famous Hong Kong Restaurant at Tinsukia
is owned by the family of my friends and they serve really great food.A
must try if you are en route to Digboi,Dhola Sadiya Bridge or to Anunachal
Pradesh.

Q4 Why did Lord Krishna never meet Yashoda again?
A4 Gokul Renjith, Lives in India (1999–present)1h
Lord Krishna even after he went to Mathura did meet Yashoda and Nanda on 3
seperate occassions.
After defeating Hansa and Dimbhaka, Lord Krishna rested at Govardhana
mountain. Hearing this Nanda, Yashoda and the Gopas came to visit him -
(O Janamejaya!) Hearing that Vasudeva (Krishna) has arrived at govardhana
along with his elder brother (balarama), Yashoda and Nandagopa, eagerly
longing to see Krishna took fresh butter, thick sour milk, food made with
rice and sugar, a dish made of sesamum and grain and wild flowers, O great
king, (Janamejaya! Vaishampayana continued) and also bracelets made of
peacock feathers, accompanied by cowherds and cowherd-women, O king
(Janamejaya! Vaishampayana continued), highly pleased, immediately went to
govardhana. They saw Krishna, Vasudeva, having great arms, having eyes as
wide as the deer's eyes, along with his elder brother (Balarama) sitting
below a tree, leaning on it. Seeing Krishna and Balarama, they became
highly pleased. The powerful Krishna and Balarama bowed to them. Then they
offered the food made with rice and sugar and other items to the devas.
(Krishna said) O father! O mother! Are your wealth of cattle at vraja well
or not? O father! Are the cows giving you good milk or not? Are the calves
and the bulls well or not? Is the milk good or not? Are the cows auspicious
or not? Are the calves drinking their mother's milk or not? Are you not
keeping lots of ropes and posts? O father! Is there good grass available in
plenty? Are there carts with fragrance? Have the cowherd women given birth
to children? O mother! Are there lots of pots in vraja which are unbroken?
O father! Are the cows giving you plenty of milk? Are you not getting good
milk, butter and sour milk? Are all the cattle wealth without any disease?
Nanda said: O the best among Yadavas (Krishna)! All the cattle wealth are
without any disease, O lord! O keshava (Krishna)! All the cattle wealth are
well. O the Lord of gods (Krishna)! Because of your protection, we are
always well. O keshava (Krishna)! The cattle wealth along with the calves
are without any disease. We always have only one sorrow: O keshava
(Krishna)! We are unable to see you. This only one sorrow is always
breaking our minds. Vaishampayana said: (O janamejaya!) keshava (Krishna)
said to nanda who was lamenting thus: Do not lament. Go home. Then he told
yashoda: “Mother! Go home. All those who recite your names shall go to
heaven. Those bowing to you will always be most dear to me. Hari (Krishna)
continued: They will always be my devotees. Go home.” The eternal lord
Vasudeva (Krishna) told thus to the parents. Embracing the parents tightly,
keshava (Krishna) made them happy and then bid farewell to them.
Afterwards, nandagopa and yashoda went home.
Chapter 130, Bhavishya Parva, Harivamsa.
2. Krishna them met Nanda and Yashoda again during the time of a solar
eclipse at Syamantakapanchaka -
Learning that Yādavas of whom Kṛṣṇa is prominent, have arrived there, Nanda
accompanied with Gopas and carts loaded with milk-products, came there with
a desire to see them. Seeing Nanda all the Yādavas were overjoyed and rose
up to receive him, as the bodies do after the return of vital breath. Being
extremely anxious to see him for a long time, they embraced him closely.
Vasudeva was especially pleased. Being overwhelmed with affection, he
embraced him fast, remembering how Kaṃsa subjected him to harrowing
persecutions and how he had to entrust his son to Nanda’s care at his
Gokula. Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma embraced and bowed to their (foster)
parents. But due to overwhelming affection, and the throat being choked
with emotions (lit. tears of joy) they could not utter a word, O best of
Kurus. The highly blessed Yaśodā placed both the sons on her seat (on her
lap) and clasping them together in her arms in close embrace, forgot her
(long-felt) distress (of separation from them). Remembering their close
friendship with Yaśodā, both Rohiṇī and Devakī embraced her. With their
voice choked with emotions (tears), they exclaimed in faltering tones.
Chapter 82, 10th Skandha, Srimad Bhagavatam.
3. Finally, After Killing Dantavakra, Lord Krishna visited Vrindavana and
met Nanda and Yashoda again. He also gave salvation to them and to all the
gopas and gopis and send them to Vaikhunta -
Here, hearing that Śiśupāla was killed, Dantavakra came to Mathurā to fight

being praised by hosts of gods, entered the glorious Dvārāvatī.

Q5 What was your most badass moment in high school?
A5 Vijaya Lakshmi,Have experience in life for 68 years.Updated 6y
In the 1960′s, I was in the ninth or tenth standard and was studying at a
boarding school.
There we had ‘study hours’ in the evening before dinner.
Girls were supposed to sit in a big hall and either had to do their
homework or study any subject.
Sister (nun) would sit there to monitor if everybody was studying or not.
In the holidays, my father gifted me a book.The book was a Telugu
translation of “Swami and friends” written by R.K.Narayan.
There was not much homework that day. After finishing the homework, I took
out the book from my bag and started reading it.
Since the sister didn’t know Telugu script, I thought she would never find
out that I was reading a novel. (She was from some Western country.)
After reading for a few pages, I could not control my smile.
Lucky for me sister did not notice. But this smile continued after every
five minutes.
Sister did notice!
“Why are you laughing while studying? Show me the book!” She shouted.My
heart started to beat loudly.
I handed over the book to her with trembling hands. She scanned the book
and immediately found out that it was not a text book.
“So you are reading this! See these pictures! (Illustrations by R.K
Laksman of the characters of the novel) Seems to be a very bad book. I will
report to the mother (principal) and write a letter to your parents”
“Sister, I am sorry for reading it in study hours but it is not a bad book.
It is a good book. It is for children,” I said gathering some courage.
“Shut up! Don’t teach me. From the pictures I can make out what type of
book it is!”
She kept the book to show to the principal the next day.
As soon as the study hours were over, all the girls gathered around me.
They started to advise me. “See Vijaya, it is a grave mistake. There are
chances that you may get expelled from the school. Tomorrow apologize to
the principal and tell her you will never read such books in future.”
“Yes, reading that book in study hours is wrong on my part, but accepting
that book as bad one and promising that I will not read such book in future
is not acceptable to me. That will be a false promise.”
They got angry at me and stopped giving me advice.
Next day I was called into principal’s room. Our principal was also not an
Indian lady. She was also from some Western country.
She repeated every thing the sister said the previous day and said:
“Promise me you will not read such books in future. I will leave you
without any punishment.”
“Mother I am sorry for reading this book in the study hours, but it is
indeed a good book. I am sorry I cannot promise” I said.
She was indeed a sweet nun. Though she was angry for few minutes, she
eventually calmed.
She called our Telugu teacher and told her to read that book and inform her
within two days what type of book it was.
After two days (after reading the book) our Telugu teacher called me.
“It’s awesome! Did you read the book completely?”
“Yes madam, three or four times.”
“This is indeed a good book. Worth keeping in our library. I will tell
mother,” she said.
I was saved. The book was never returned to me but kept in the library.
