Mother, the seed of life.

Mother is indeed the source of life,

She plays a great role in everyone’s life,

From someone’s mother to other’s wife,

She conducts her role with so much unselfishness,

That the omniscient regards her as the sculpture of flawlessness,

On one hand she can fight this stupendous world to save her child,

While on the other hand she can even slap her child to prevent him from going wild,

Even the lord of the lords acknowledge her power,

And that why bestow on her,

His blessings’ shower,

Not caring about night and day,

She will get her child whatever he wants anyway,

She is the most pious and beautiful creation of God,

With so much accuracy and acumen,

She is even defter than the lord,

She is the one due to whom we have got this life,

The one who has protected us from every rife,

The beauty of nature,

The resplendent creation of the world’s creator,

The one who has taught us how to fight,

How to demand our right and earn the might,

She can watch everything happening,

But not her child screaming (in pain),

She is unpartisan and unblemished,

But today we have started throwing her in oblivion,

She is even disregarded by her own scion,

We have started taking her for granted,

Considering her burden and her presence unwanted,

But my friends,

Do keep in mind,

That when you were a child,

Liable to fall down out of your bed,

Vulnerable to death and hapless,

Not caring about her own sleep,

She slept beside your bed,

So that you may not fall,

For her you were, are and will always be here world, her fame of hall.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat

Jai Ma Bharti

Lord of the Lords, Shri Parashuram

The day 1st May is in itself one of the most auspicious occasions in the whole year for all my indian brothers as this day marks the resplendent occasion of the birth of one of the greatest gods that the world has ever had and that great deity is Lord Parashurama.

It would not be a hypocrisy to say that Lord Parashurama is the greatest lord of the universe who was not only a great saint, but also a powerful warrior, an obedient son and adorable teacher and the great Lord Parashurama carried out all his duties with utter assiduousness and meticulousness. So is not his anniversary the most pious day in the whole year?

According to Vedic texts, Lord Parashurama is the sixth incarnation (or avatar) of Lord Vishnu, having Brahma as his ancestors and Lord Shiva as his teacher .Now you can very well judge the power of Lord Parashuram, in fact he was a student of the greatest, the lord of the lords, Shiva.

Lord Parashuram has played major roles in Mahabharata, Ramayana as well as all other vedic formations, or you can say  he is just like the atom of all these things, the producer of all these things and also the producer of life on the earth.

 Lord Parashurama got his name so because of his weapon, an axe which is known as "Parshu". He his most famous for debilitating the lineage of Kshatriyas, twenty one times after a kshatriya king Kartavirya slayed down his father. Lord Parashurama is regarded as the greatest and most powerful warriors of all the time and no one has been able to trounce him. 

As I mentioned earlier that Lord Parashuram is the greatest warrior, best teacher and the most obedient son in the history of the world. So lets now discuss why he is being attributed as the greatest warrior, most obedient son and the best teacher in the history step by step.

According to an old legend The grandfather of Bhargava Parashurama was a great rishi named Rucheeka, and was a direct descendant of Brahma. One day, the rishi was traveling through the countryside seeking a bride. At the time, there were two dominant clans, the Bharat-Suryavamsha, or Solar Dynasty and the Chandra-vamsha, or Lunar Dynasty. The ruling King Gadhi belonged to the Lunar Dynasty and had a beautiful daughter, Satyavati, who was unwed. Rucheeka visited the king, who entertained him at his court. The rishi was besot with the beauty of Satyavati, and at the end of the evening he asked the king to have her as his bride.

The king was taken aback, but could not deny the request of a Brahmin. As such, he agreed to give his daughter away to the rishi, but on condition that Rucheeka give him one-thousand horses, all with one ear black and the body entirely white.

The rishi agreed to the demand of the king. He then did penance to Varuna, and was blessed with the horses that the king had requested. Rucheeka gave them as dowry, and in turn received Satyavati for marriage.

Satyavati adjusted well to an ascetic life as she was blessed with a good countenance, but she did not have any children. Meanwhile, at the kingdom, her father had no heir to the throne as well, and this also worried Satyavati. One day, Rucheeka asked her what was wrong, and she told him of her concerns for the kingdom.

The rishi agreed to help both Satyavati and her mother. He gave Satyavati two potions, one for her mother so that she would have a mighty Kshatriya son, and one for Satyavati so that she would have a son that would become a great sage. Satyavati gave the potions to her mother. However, not trusting the sage, her mother switched the containers.

In time, both mother and daughter found they were expecting children. However, the sage noticed that when he looked at his wife he saw a Kshatriya aura, and he asked what had happened. Satyavati told Rucheeka, to which he responded, 'Now our son will be a great warrior instead of a sage." Satyavati begged the rishi to instead make her grandson become the great warrior and her son a rishi. Seeing her distress, Rucheeka acquiesced. Satyavati gave birth to a son, Jamadagni, who became a great saptarishi, while her grandson Lord Parashuram was sixth incarnation of Vishnu, and one of the greatest warriors of his age and this is how Lord Parashuram proved to be, not one of the greatest but the mightiest as well as the greatest warriors of all times.

Lord Parashuram is also regarded as a paradigm of a great and faithful son. According to an old story, Renuka, the mother of Lord Parashuram, was known for her chastity and devotion to her husband. Such was her faith, that she was able to fetch water from the river in a pot of unbaked clay, with the pot held together only by the strength of her devotion.

One day while at the river, a group of Gandharvas in a chariot passed by in the sky above. Filled with desire for only a moment, the unbaked pot she held dissolved in the river. Afraid to return to her husband, she waited at the river bank, uncertain of what to do next.  Meanwhile, Jamadagni noticed his wife had not returned. Through his yogic powers, he divined all that had taken place and was enraged. The rishi called his eldest son, handed him an axe and asked the boy to kill his mother. Horrifed, the boy refused, and so Jamadagni turned him to stone. He then asked each of his sons, and as they refused, one by one, he turned them to stone. Finally only his youngest son, Parashurama, was left. Ever obedient, the boy beheaded his mother. His this decision shook the whole world. The whole world was convulsed into a pandemonium by his this action, but then Lord Parashuram abided by his duties towards his mother and asked his father to bring back his mother and his brothers to life from stone to flesh. Impressed by the affection and devotion of his son, Jamadagni granted his request.

This was about his being the most obedient son in the history of the world. Now lets try to find out why Lord Parashuram is being regarded as the greatest warrior in the history of mankind. 

The violent persecution of Brahmins by Kshatriya had at the time spanned generations. As Rama grew older, he was sincere in his piety, and pleased Lord Shiva with the performation of excruciating tapas. As blessing, he was granted the Parashu of Shiva, after which he was known as Parashurama, or 'Rama with axe'.

Soon after Parashurama received his blessing, King Kartavirya of the Haihaya came upon the hermitage of Jamadagni. The visit happened at a time Parusharama was away in the forest gathering yagna, and although the king had a massive entourage, the saptarishi was able to serve the king a grand feast. When Kartavirya asked how he was able to do so, Jamadagni showed him a blessed Kamadhenu calf, given to Jamadagni by Indra, which was able to grant wishes. Kartavirya was covetous and wanted the calf as his own. The rishi refused, and Kartavirya stole the sacred animal.

Returning home, Parashurama was infuriated and traveled to the royal palace. Brandishing his axe, he decimated its guards and killed the mighty King Kartavirya, retrieving the calf. When he returned home, his father was pleased, but seeing the blood stained axe of Parashurama, also concerned. He cautioned his son he must be aware of wrath and pride. Parashurama accepted the reprimand of his father, in penance, and went on a pilgrimage to holy places for one year in purification.

Meanwhile, the sons of Kartavirya discovered their father at the palace and knew that only Parashurama could have killed him. In revenge, they traveled to the hermitage and murdered Jamadagni, surrounding the rishi and shooting him to death with arrows like a stag. Afterwards, they decapitated his body and took his head with them.

When Parashurama returned home, he found his mother next to the body of his father, crying hysterically as she beat her chest twenty-one times in a row. Furious, he hunted down the sons of Kartavirya at the palace. He killed them all and returned with the head of his father to conduct the cremation. Parashurama then vowed to enact a genocide on the war-mongering Kshatriyas twenty-one times over, once for each time the hand of his mother hit her chest. Parashurama then travelled the whole of Earth, killing all men of the Kshatriya caste, guilty or innocent. The first book of the Mahabharata writes:

In the interval between the Treta and Dwapara Yugas, Parashurama, great among all who have borne arms, urged by impatience of wrongs, repeatedly smote the noble race of Kshatriyas. And when that fiery meteor, by his own valour, annihilated the entire tribe of the Kshatriyas, he formed at Samanta-panchaka five lakes of blood.

According to some old legends, he even broke the teeth of Lord Ganesha, son of Lord Shiva. Parashurama travelled to the Himalayas to pay respect to his teacher, Shiva. While travelling, his path was blocked by Ganesha, son of Shiva and Parvati. Parashurama threw his axe at the elephant-god. Ganesha, knowing the weapon had been given to Parashurama by his father, allowed it to sever his left tusk.
His mother Parvati was infuriated, and declared she would cut off the arms of Parashurama. She took the form of Durgama, becoming omnipotent, but at the last moment, Shiva was able to pacify her by making her see the avatar as her own son. Parashurama also asked her forgiveness, and she finally relented when Ganesha himself spoke on behalf of the warrior-saint. Parashurama then gave his divine axe to Ganesha and blessed him. Another name for Ganesha because of this encounter is Ekadanta, or 'One Tusk'.
 All these incidents prove the might of the lord of the lords Shri Parashuram.

Lets now talk about his being the best teacher in the world. Bhishma, Dronacharya and Karna are regarded as one of the greatest warriors of all the times who were never defeated by anyone but do we know how these great soldiers became so much great? All this was just due to the blessings of Lord Parashuram who taught them all. 

Lord Parashuram is world's greatest teacher ,warrior, son and saint. He is the incarnation of God whose presence is eternal and who still resides on this earth. So on the great day of Parashuram Jayanti, I on behalf of all my hindus brothers ask for the blessings of Lord Parashuram for the whole nation.

Why Modi wave exists...

Recently many politicians, like Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and Mayawati etc. averred that there is no Modi wave and also rebutted the media house of portraying spurious news in order to architect the Modi Wave but when I switched on the TV to listen to the speeches to these politician, I could hear one word in their speeches which was repeated again and again every five seconds, the word was MODI. So are not they backing out of their statements that Modi is of no significance and that he can never become the Prime Minister of India? Lalu Prasad, Rahul Gandhi etc. continue to quash the claims of Modi wave but then if you hear the speeches of politicians like them then you would be made to believe that these people are not fighting the Lok Sabha election but yes they are fighting the anti-Modi election. Congress and other parties continue to say that the India Shining balloon will burst out but after some time Rahul Gandhi (or the Indian National Congress) proposes to erect a secular front which will work completely against Modi and would try to restrain him from coming to power. The most amazing power in this race of turncoats is Indian National Congress. Today leaders of Congress don’t ask the voters to vote for them but they give speeches to ask the voters to not vote for Narendra Modi. Rahul Gandhi has now forgotten his RTI, MGNREGA etc. but now he has made “Blaming Modi” as his sole religion and work as a politician. Now he is just not convinced about telling people about the attributes of the UPA model of India but is busy contradicting the Gujarat Model of Modi. (I am afraid that he must have forgotten that Gujarat is a part of India.)

So now I would like to pose a simple question to all of them. “If Modi is of no significance according to you people then why you people continue to talk about Modi?”

It’s not a hidden fact that there is a Modi wave in the whole nation. Wherever you go, from the corner of every street to the lanes of 7 Race Course, you could find a lot of people chanting “NaMo- NaMo” and that’s simply what the Modi wave is. It’s definitely not a covert fact that the next Prime Minister of India is going to be Narendra Modi and the whole nation has made its mind.

But presently every politician is busy abusing Modi. Some call him the butcher, some threaten to chop him out in pieces, and some call him unsecular.  But what’s in Modi that has made every politician turn hostile against him? What’s in him that the AAP which used to curse Congress day and night easily forgot all the scams to recollect that Narendra Modi is not a good man? What’s in him that compelled Rahul Gandhi to focus more of Narendra Modi but not on India? Let me answer this question- the answer is “CHARISMA”.

Modi definitely has a charisma (it’s not god gifted, he has crafted it himself). This charisma has made him bear all the hardships in his journey from a simple tea vendor to India’s most powerful man. Narendra Modi has himself seen all the hardships of life, about which Rahul Gandhi talks and that’s why people are able to connect with him easily. This man exactly knows the problem of the nation and has experienced all such problems himself. Can a person who has never seen poverty devastate poverty? The answer is no and that’s exactly the case of some other politicians.

The second thing is no one is more secular than him. Narendra Modi has been given clean chit by all the court of the country and has been exonerated by all the investigative committees. The other thing is that there has been no riot in Gujarat in the last twelve years; the third thing is that Modi is not averse of doing vote bank politics. Some days ago, Nitish Kumar blamed Modi as an unsecular leader just because he refused to wear a Muslim cap. But tell me one thing. Does wearing a Muslim cap make you secular and good? If that’s so then from the very next day all the rioters, fundamentalists etc. will carry out their nasty operation after wearing caps of other religions. Narendra Modi refused to wear the Muslim cap just because he respects his own religion and doesn’t believe in deceiving people and that’s what secularism is. Respect your religion and don’t hate other’s religion. So isn’t Modi more secular than any other leader of the nation.

When the leaders of other parties got nothing to rebuke Modi on then they took out the personal matters of Modi i.e. he never told people that he was married. Isn’t that an embarrassing thing that you are contradicting such a great person on the basis of such a wrongful thing? That’s truly ignominious. Modi has never lived with his wife and what’s more is that his marriage was a child’s marriage which today’s constitution doesn’t acknowledge. So how can anyone blame him on such a small and illegitimate thing?

One more thing is that recently Lalu Prasad Yadav blamed Modi of being involved in the 2002 Gujarat riots and that he would pose a bad image of India, in front of the world, if he becomes the Prime Minister, it would be good if politicians like Lalu Yadav first look at themselves. Would not Lalu Yadav become a fodder scam culprit Prime Minister of India and would not he deteriorate the current position of India in the world politics.

Modi is definitely a great leader whom the whole nation should support if it wants a good governance system.

The endangered youth.

Contemporarily the whole India is experiencing a resplendent deluge of youths. In fact you can say that more than half of the nation is youth. Now a question must arrive in your mind that when the whole nation is having such a plethora of young minds then why the nation’s progress has been stagnant over years? Why the GDP decreasing and poverty increasing? All these questions must have been rattling you a lot but let’s today adopt a proactive approach and try to excavate out the covert truth behind such severe facts. 

Presently around 814 million citizens are eligible to vote in the Lok Sabha elections which commenced from 7^th of April and one amusing thing is that around 150 million who are going to vote this time, are the first time voters who have never experienced voting in a ballot before. Nearly two-thirds of Indians are under 35; half are under 25. By 2020, India will be the youngest country in the world, with a median age of 29 years, compared with a median age of 37 years in China at that point. India’s large youth population, often called a “demographic dividend,” could potentially make India the biggest consumer market and the biggest labour force in the world.

No one can repudiate the fact that this time India is experience a youth deluge. Young generations, which are termed as the real assets of the nation are present in the nation excessively but still so many problems continue to swallow nation’s progress and lever up the enigma behind our failures at different levels.

If we go on to try to decipher this abstruse mystery then we would find that these problems carry their genes from the dirty politics that the whole nation is witnessing contemporarily.

Nowadays politics is not being placed on the basis of development, employment or works done by the servants for the welfare of the society, these days people tend to play a vote bank politics.

Casteism and communalism have been one of the most debated topics in the whole nation. Some political parties which just don’t want to lose their jobs of sitting idle in power and amassing public money just take advantage out of these nightmares of the nation. When such political parties recognize that their end is near then they try to threaten minorities that the other person or party concerned in not secular. For them secularism truly means appeasement policy or divide and rule politics. Those who call others non-secular should first look at themselves. Have they done anything for the betterment of the minorities? Have they done anything for the betterment of the society? Definitely not! But still these people hold the placard and monopoly of secularism.

It’s not a hidden fact that all the religions of the whole nation are being exploited these days. Hindu youth, Muslim youth, Christian youth and Sikh youth all of them are facing problems of unemployment, lack of education and many others. Today you could observe thousands of youth with handsome IQ and intelligence doing menial jobs and many of those who deserve nothing are in the top position and those who call themselves secular continue again come fearless demanding five years more to befool the nation. In this global epoch it’s not a hidden fact that when a Muslim youth and a Hindu youth search for jobs they face the same problems and no so-called secular party or leader does them anything. But still we continue to make a moron of us by voting on the appeasement politics despite of the fact that we need an eligible and bold person rather than a timid and so-called secular leader.

This time the youth of the nation need to vote, not as a Hindu, not as a Muslim but as a responsible Indian who will vote for a better economy, better lifestyle and improved life standards rather than giving corrupts of the nation any more chances.

The choice is clear. If you want jobs, you need a good economy and if you want a good economy, then choose a tough, robust and bold leader who is ready to uplift the nation and save it’s youth from extinction.

Wake up to make the world come,

And count you in those some,

Who do things differently,

Who follow their dreams fervently,

Wake up to fight the deadly competition,

Wake up to realise your ambition.

Its time for change...

When the election fervour is up,

The whole nation feels snug,

When politicians bout to the hilt,

And pass on angry word’s silt,

Tilted is their brain,

As once in every five years they become insane,

But this time there seems to be a change,

The voter has sprung up his range,

Because now the time is different,

And voter has sent,

A straight message to all,

Whosoever works will get the golden ball,

The matter now is not of religion and caste,

As this time, such matters are not going to last,

Wake up! The time is changing fast,

Vote this time on development,

Not on bogus promises and old laments,

We have been divided to a great extent,

Which has allocated us only undignified dent,

Let’s this time smell the scent,

Of brotherhood and unity,

Despite of just boasting of diversity,

This time lets choose a tough leader,

Who is fearless, daunting and courteous,

It’s time for change,

Let’s get sane………

The battered secularism of India....

Recently I got a whiff of the fact the Varanasi is secular. I knew this authentic fact before too but this time I was amazed to hear about this mundane fact. I was bewildered by this fact this time because Rashid Alvi, an acclaimed Congress leader. Rashid Alvi recently wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi, party supremo of Indian National Congress, urging her to give him the Varanasi Lok Sabha ticket and an opportunity to fight against BJP PM Candidate Narendra Modi, so that he could teach Narendra Modi, a lesson on secularism.

I am just not trying to point out on any party but the thing about which I am going to write about is “Secularism”. I recently wrote a post on the respective topic but when the term secularism was again insulted, I couldn’t resist myself to pen down this one.

The concept of Secularism is very much misconstrued in the whole nation. Our politicians think that Muslim Appeasement is the key to secularism, but that’s completely contradictor to what’s the real secularism. Today all the citizens too deliberately obviate the concept of secularism and this sows the seed of distrust and communal violence.

But is Muslim appeasement known as secularism? Is promoting communal distrust secularism?

 For some secularism does mean the same, but actually secularism is the key to development, which promotes no religion and adopts no religion.

For some politicians and political parties secularism means the vote bank and also an easy way to blame anyone who comes in their way.

Let’s first take a quick review of Malappuram. Malappuram is in complete hold of the jihadist forces. But tensions occurred when some, not all started promoting “Jihad” against Hindus. Condition has become so much bad that, contemporarily, a Hindu can’t sell his home or any piece of land to anyone except a Muslim. Jihad is being promoted to such a hilt that around two years back, a pregnant cow, which is considered as a form of God for Hindus, was slaughtered in front of a Hindu Sasatha temple in Peumbavoor and moreover an RSS activist was killed by jihadists, having links with Gulf countries and Pakistan.  In the last three years more than 100(hundred) Hindu activists have been killed and more than 2000 Hindu girls have been abducted by the jihadists.

Another incident involves chopping of right hand of an innocent professor. TJ Joseph, a professor at the New Man College, Thodupuzha- a victim of the Islamists, was chopped off by fanatic jihadists for setting a controversial question paper for an exam.

 We are living in a nation where the government just wants to garner as much votes it can, no matter how many people are mowed down, no matter how many women are widowed, how many parents are left childless.

Today politicians use heavy and significant words like Secularism, communal harmony etc. but has anyone thought about those who are being killed in Kerala or other parts of India by jihadists and other fanatics? Definitely not! Because if government thinks about them, then it would have to abandon the powers, positions and most importantly votes.

There is another instance which expounds how secularism is being promoted in India. There is an All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB). AIMPLB vehemently objects Right of Children for Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 and supports Child Marriage. You would be thinking that this organization would have been proscribed but one great thing to note here is that, this organisation is running all the Sharia courts in India and is legally established.

Isn’t that ridiculous? That’s definitely something that needs to be despised and detested. But because our politicians get votes from these people, it is not going to act against such obnoxious organisation and because our government is secular.

The above mentioned examples truly manifest the meaning of secularism of India.

Now it’s on the people of the nation whether we want such secularism or not.

This time let’s change…..
