The Dream of Vishnu: Shunyata or Infinity? That man who uses the mind for reins and the knowledge for the driver, reaches the end of his road, the highest seat of Vishnu. Than the senses the objects of sense are higher; and higher than the objects of sense is the Mind; and higher than the Mind is the faculty of knowledge; and than that is the Great Self higher. And higher than the Great Self is the Unmanifest and higher than the Unmanifest is the Purusha: than the Purusha there is none higher: He is the culmination, He is the highest goa...

Kashmiri Pandits: A Forsaken Minority Another anniversary of the exodus that made the Kashmiri Pandits orphans of history stared at us on January 19. The Pandits, were uprooted from their home and hearth and cast about as refugees in their own homeland. The tragedy and tribulations that befell this unfortunate community for the last twenty two years include some of the most heart-rending stories. Theirs is a story of humanitarian disaster of unprecedented magnitude, but strangely, had gone unnoticed by the rest of the world and more...

"Net Worth" Stack up against Sense of Worth? Your life is filled with work, possessions, and diversions, but is it also filled with balance and contentment? Your social image is as well-manicured as your front lawn, but does your inner image resemble scenes from a Hollywood disaster movie? You delight in gastronomical indulgences, but do you still feel empty inside? You hold the power to change the world, but do you crumble in the face of emotional hardships and challenges? Does your “net worth” stack up against your “sense of worth?”...	Raji L	Add Comment
Promoting Indian culture & minority appe.. Every countrys primary education revolves around its history, languages, philosophies, art, culture and sciences. Ancient greece is characterised by greek philosophies and sciences, egypt with pyramids and the science behind it etc. It is only natural for any school of a country to be teaching the ancient language of that country along with the philosophies. Would it sound logical to a rational mind if, in his own family, someone elses lineage and history is given more importance and taught to h...

Happy Republic Day, India Did you know that the Constitution of India is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world, containing 444 articles, 12 schedules and 94 amendments, with 117,369 words in its English version? Compare that to the United States Constitution, which comprises 7 articles and 27 amendments.India became a republic on January 26, 1950. What that means is it is the birth date of the “Constitution of India,” the governing document that defines the principles upon which the natio...	Raji L	beegeeaar: Of course we all can feel happy that we have a written constitution wherein the powers of the State and Central Govt. are clearly enumerated. But the tragedy is that even after more than 60 years of governing the country is facing the problem of co.... [2 comments]
Is Your EQ Consistent with Your IQ? EQ or Emotional Intelligence (popularly referred to as EQ) is a term thats been around a while. Author Daniel Goleman brought it into prominence in the 1980s with his best-seller, you guessed it, “Emotional Intelligence.” What is EQ and how is it different from IQ? And, why does it matter, anyways?IQ, as we know, is an individuals ability to learn, memorize, problem solve, reason, communicate, and process information. Scientists believe that both genetics and the environment can influence an ind...	Raji L	Add Comment
Purpose of Life and Absolute truth The purpose of life, the reason to exist, from birth to death, is to learn. We are here to learn of Gods Truths in His works. We are here to learn to live in peace and in harmony with all of Gods Creation. What better way to know God than to look for His Truth in His Work. It takes very little insight to realize that all life on earth must learn and that failure to learn guarantees extinction.Although learning does not guarantee immortality, it does point in the right direction. Perhaps life cre...	K Bhatia	Add Comment
Pakistan Palestine Sufism and Terrorism Irfan Husain a respected Pakistani Op-ed writer in defense of a case for Palestine state presented interesting arguments based on select history to counter the firestorm ignited by a flame thrower and a want-to-be GOP nominee, American Newt Gingrich. Prof Gingrich had recently claimed that Palestinians were invented people. Before Mr Gingrichs claim, Mr. Zuhair Mohsen stated that “The Palestinian people do not exist.”*...	K Bhatia	Add Comment

Occupy Atlanta Partnered With Islamic Group? Read the news yourself: “Today, WoodruffParkin Atlanta will turn into something of a battlefield of principles as “Occupy Atlanta” protesters attempt to reclaim the space for their ongoing protests. Online reports have surfaced claiming that “Occupy Atlanta” has enlisted the help of the religiously charged and oft-controversial Nation of Islam. Representatives of the movement now deny these claims. “We have not asked the Nation of Islam to provide protection for us,” This Is Just The Beginning....	M Joshi	Add Comment
Do UN, and India deserve each other? Why is India not a permanent member of the UN Security Council? Whose fault is it? Unfortunately, the answer to this strange anomaly is not locked, as an esoteric formula in some mysterious labyrinthine vault at the UN, nor in its political machinations. The answer resides in India itself. And, for that matter, is this membership worth pursuing? While the idea might be quite alluring, we must put the UN Security Council under a microscope, to see if it is really worth some Indian blood and sweat...	Raju P	Add Comment
Asymmetric Political and Military Relationships Asymmetric political power is rampant in 57 Arab (OIC) nations as dictators and their cronies enjoy power. To give an analogy, the top dogs have the gold and the rest have got shaft. With the power of internet connectivity the masses have started street marches to assert power. Arab Springs have dislodged three of 57 dictators in OIC and other three are engaged in civil wars.In the US top 1% wealthy Americans have used government to privatize gains and socialize losses by occupying Washington wi...
