Fool the fools - a brand new concept of celebrating the April Fool from a fool...

The best way is to play the role of a

#fool 

with your every sense, curiosity, mindfulness, tenacity, consciousness, conscience, and especially the #lordshiva inside you being awake and let them pick a wrong sample

then enjoy the game - the name of which will be ...

who fools whom...

Sometimes wearing a mask of a fool is also important to fool others.

sounds like a little #conundrm

but this is the essence of life.

In the end surrender to the #lordshiva

He will take care of you...

I will tell you a real-life story that was very popular in the rural parts of #bharat during the '80s. I was not very aware of what was happening outside my small town, because I was just a kid, but this was a reality in West Bengal at that time under the leftist government. 

it was very popular among young girls.

The game was called "phool patano" - meaning two girls will become "phool" to each other and they will call each other "phool" instead of their real names.

in Bengali, the meaning of "phool" is #flower

Now if we twist the term "phool" with the English version of "fool"...

a new game will start in life...

fool the fool

or

who fools whom...

but during the whole process never stop searching for #whoami
so that you never forget the real purpose of why #lordshiva has sent you to this #universe

Now, I will tell you how the #lordshiva plays this big game of heavenly life.

You will then realise why the actors always admit they are just the kathputli (puppet) of the director.

Because the director keeps himself outside the ring and plays the role of an observer.

The idea is that if someone goes very close to a problem he becomes blinded and will never succeed.

The best scientist knows this secret.

So the people who spend their whole lives digging into the source code to fix bugs will always remain like this.

To get the big picture keep yourself out of the battlefield and observe.

And learn how to use the strings properly.

#lordshiva hardly participates in the #gameoflife

Enjoy the soulful music which transpires the same message.

Song Lyrics

খেলিছ এ বিশ্বলয়ে

বিরাট শিশুর আনমনে।

প্রলয় সৃষ্টি তব পুতুল খেলা

নিরজনে প্রভু নিরজনে।।

খেলিছ..

শূণ্যে মহা আকাশে

তুমি মগ্ন লীলা বিলাসে

ভাঙ্গিছ গড়িছ নীতি ক্ষণে ক্ষণে

নিরজনে প্রভু নিরজনে।।

তারকা রবি শশী খেলনা তব

হে উদাসী

পড়িয়া আছে রাঙা পায়ের কাছে

রাশি রাশি।

নিত্য তুমি হে উদার

সুখে-দুখে অবিকার।

হাসিছ খেলিছ তুমি আপন সনে

নিরজনে প্রভু নিরজনে।।

English Translation

You are such an enormous child
Busy playing with the universe
Creating an destroying like a doll’s house
Unmindfully, in a pin drop silence.

In the barren wide wide sky
You are meditating luxurious thoughts
Of developing and massacring things you like
Unmindfully, in a pin drop silence.

The sun, the moon and thousands of stars
Are left there at your crimson feet.

Oh great generous omnipotent soul
Constant in all well and woe
Laughing and playing to yourself
Unmindfully, in a pin drop silence.

The quest for knowledge of mankind - physical or metaphysics...

 

I was having a vibe or a feeling that of late most of my writings are somehow related to only one aspect of life - that is water, land, the basic instincts, and all such matters which many people would take otherwise and start thinking that this guy - after the age of 50- gone nuts - and he is suffering from the  Sathya-syndrome (a #hindi term originally is "Sathya Gaya hai" ) meaning behaving like a foolish, moron guy.

(for the people of #universe - as the #google helps here are some of the common forms of this #hindi term-

Sathiya jana Muhavare ka Hindi mein vakya Prayog –

vakya Prayog – Are log to budhape mein jakar sathiya jate hain aur tum abhi se sathiya gaye ho

vakya Prayog – Are tum sathiya gaye ho kya, jo aisi baatein kar reh ho. Kuchh to akal ki baat karo

vakya Prayog – Padhi likhi hote hue bhi tum andhvishwas ki baatein kar rahi ho lagta hai sathiya gai ho

vakya Prayog – Veh ab sathiya gaya hai, isliye behaki baatein karne laga hai. Uski baaton ka bura mat maano

but no. I am absolutely in my best period of life enjoying creativity as a #guru of my son which has helped me a lot to learn about the psychological relationship between a student and a teacher and why we need #dronacharya at the school of #bharat

probably now I am happy to get a meaning why my family surname is #mukhopadhyay - meaning the principal teacher and I am happy that after losing the creativity of the two generations of my family because of sheer poverty - I am again born as a teacher just like my great grandfather who was a scholar and worked as an inspector in the education department serving different universities during the British period and died of #kalajwar when my grandfather was just a 12 years-old boy and the real struggle of our family started and we completely lost the track or the real purpose of ourselves.

so I was telling my wife #reema when humans just started their lives in this universe, there was no language, no philosophy, no education to camouflage their eyes. so their education or exploration started with the study of the physical body of themselves - and nothing else.

let me elaborate. the first knowledge they acquired was like - the #manand and #woman saw that they are physically different. then they found that only the #woman can conceive and not the #man. so when they discovered agriculture and found that the earth is capable of creating new lives, just like #woman, the neuron of the man flashed and he termed earth as #motherearth or #bhudevi

so this way if we really go behind the #etymology of the various words of the oldest language - that is #sanskrit - we will definitely find that the original thought processing behind this language actually stated by simply studying the #physical aspects of #human and other living being and nothing else.

it was not at all philosophical. it was absolute physical

the quest for knowledge of humans started by exploring their physical differences and not anything #esoteric or #metaphysics as we, in the modern-day, try to view all such matters as - may be something as nakedness or vulgar.

so for the scholar of #bharat, let us realize the process of seeking truth by the #fatherofnation by testing the power or rather his control over his testosterone may not be the right way rather the opposite way of human nature.

let that sink in.

but of course, we have to elevate ourselves from behaving just like a #bull and a #cow of the society if we really want to participate and contribute to the history of mankind. we are here not just to drink and drive but to contribute by using all of our physical and emotional senses while continuously listening to the messages from our #lordshiva - the #innerconscience

The Woman...

 

Let me try to define a #woman in my own words. 

because when I saw the image as shown below on #linkedin, I pondered on this issue.

the #nightowl inside me is not letting me have a deep sleep.

woman - the #motherearth  - three fourth water - one-fourth land - having both hot current and the cold current flowing in the water of the ocean - the oceans which mankind could not still explore fully - so the intelligent #man never hesitated to jump into the water thinking that he could find out the ultimate truth  - but Alas never succeed - so after being tired and illusional about his strength and intelligence the man leaves the water and reaches the land - the symbol of #calm #peace #stable to #seek #refuge surrendering completely and thus attain #wisdom. With that wisdom from #lordshiva, the man never boasts about his intelligence in exploring water and rather uses his energy and his bull to plow the stable land and create new lives for the future of mankind. and the tradition continues generation after generation. Neither the depth and the #wilderness of the ocean nor the calmness of the land - both provided by mother earth is to be blamed because both are true to themselves and represent the #truth - if something is to be blamed is the #audacity of #mankind into their intelligence and thinking that they are the ultimate powerhouse of knowledge…

lessons of life for #mankind:

#mankind …

when at the prime time of your life, if all you have gathered is just scientific knowledge which might make you absolutely #blinded and your eyes get covered by the veil and arrogance of your #ego, you will somehow never accept that there is something called #thirdeye in this #universe.

till then you will only love the woman boasting about the g-spot and g-string dipped inside the water.

but with the age, if by the grace of #lordshiva your third eye opens up, you will understand the greatness of the #calm #stable land of a woman, and that wisdom and truth will free you from the #bondage.

my own lesson:

The Solitary Sailor cannot just let his eyes off from the

The LightHouse - my young son - #ridit

I would like to end this discussion with the fact that how with time the concept of empowering women has actually turned into a money-spinning business for many so-called liberal people and the poison has been injected purposefully into the gullible minds of #bharat through so-called philanthropic organizations like #fordfoundation and hence don't be surprised if you watch two naked women of #jnu kissing each other on the open daylight and getting filmed as a notion of liberty as claimed by them.

Here goes my wife #Reema with her own definition of #Nari - the Woman

Here is one of the finest #gurus of #Bharat explaining many aspects of the toxicity of modern #feminism as practiced by the Western society as opposed to the ethos from #bharat where we always celebrated women as the strongest pillars of the society.

And THEN here again 

Another interpretation of A WOMAN

Women in Dutch Painting

by Eunice de Souza

The afternoon sun is on their faces.

they are calm, not stupid,

pregnant, not bovine.

I know women like that

and not just in paintings —

an aunt who did not answer her husband back

not because she was plain

and Anna who writes poems

and hopes her avocado stones

will sprout in the kitchen.

Her voice is oatmeal and honey.

Here we go...

Listen to 

#TulsiGabbard 

speaking a significant amount of 

Who IS  A Woman

and many other aspects of USA #wokism - 

after she resigned from the dem party

Hope you like it..

The Man...

জল শুধু জল

দেখে দেখে চিত্ত তার হয়েছে বিকল।

মসৃণ চিক্কণ কৃষ্ণ কুটিল নিষ্ঠুর,

লোলুপ লেলিহজিহ্ব সর্পসম ক্রূর

খল জল ছল-ভরা, তুলি লক্ষ ফণা

ফুঁসিছে গর্জিছে নিত্য করিছে কামনা

মৃত্তিকার শিশুদের, লালায়িত মুখ।

হে মাটি, হে স্নেহময়ী, অয়ি মৌনমূক,

অয়ি স্থির, অয়ি ধ্রুব, অয়ি পুরাতন,

সর্ব-উপদ্রবসহা আনন্দভবন

শ্যামলকোমলা, যেথা যে-কেহই থাকে

অদৃশ্য দু বাহু মেলি টানিছ তাহাকে

অহরহ, অয়ি মুগ্ধে, কী বিপুল টানে

দিগন্তবিস্তৃত তব শান্ত বক্ষ-পানে!

the helpless feeble voice coming out from a dying boy who will ultimately be drowned in the turbulent water...

we need the protection, love, care, and stability of the #motherearth - the #calm the #peace the #stable - providing us a firm ground to stand on...

it's not a healthy sign to be in the water all through life...

keeping a balance is important...

being a #father and #guru I have to take extra care of my young son #ridit - already an accomplished software engineer - not to spend the adolescence trying hard to learn how to swim...

pollution level of water has increased manifold which may blindfold an intelligent man and stop him to achieve wisdom through #hardwork and #perseverance

the #struggle of #mankind is #real

We have fought many battles just to keep ownership of the water bodies. 

Let us come out of that illusion that we have to drink a lot of water to survive.

No.

Even limited drinking will be okay.

It is all about mindset.

better to learn from watching the fall of a person like #tigerwoods and be careful...

We are here not just to drink, but to serve humanity, and if possible save water bodies from being polluted by powerful people with vested interests.

For that, one has to know the reality and acquire knowledge.

Hence, a real #man will not only look for just water but will take care of the water bodies as well.

Otherwise, it will be a sheer waste of why a #man is called a #man…

So, preserve your water until you meet the real #man who will not only drink the water but will take care of the waterbody with utmost love, care, and manliness.

#lifelessons

Hey Lord, purify me, clarify me, enlighten me by putting me through severe pain of life - the way diamonds shine only after merciless cut and polish

My interpretation of why Maakaali was shown dancing absolutely naked in #hinduism...

Here's my wife Reema - celebrating the inner strength of Nari - the Women

I thought for many years why in our ancient #bharat, the powerful goddess #maakaali was shown as dancing absolutely naked with fierce, raw power and energy eliminating the #asura, the #raktabirja, the #evil of the #universe? Why was she shown naked? And why when we look at her deity in such fierce outbursts of emotion, we never think of it as anything vulgar, but rather we bow our head in front of Her.

Why? Why?

I think the answer is very obvious and had the people of #bharat understood it, our course of #history would have been absolutely different today and we would have been part of a nation of powerful people and not #prawnhead, #pigeonhearted, #manipulators, who instead of playing it safe and ultimately losing, would have been ready to take the bull by the horns and won the #gameoflife

#truth is always naked. So when #maakaali is dancing naked, it implies that she is trying to establish #truth by removing the #asuras who symbolize the #ignorance and #darkness of the society.

And as when the #truth starts dancing naked among #ignorance, only the power from the source of the #truth becomes unbearable for the #weak people who, otherwise think that they are powerful and can go away by doing anything they wish without being noticed by the #goddess

For the people who become a witness of this powerful naked dance of #truth, only two things can happen.

Some of them are just burnt and become ashes. They are just blown away by the wind.

However, some of them become absolutely #pure by being burnt from the power of the  #goddess and enjoy the rest of the life emanating #lights ane #elevating the #weak #needy people of the society. They become angels for society and the knowledgeable resource we need for the future generation.

 

There is no other option for the result for the people once they watch the naked dance of #maakaali

That's why #maakaali is shown naked in #hinduism

And that’s why when #lordshiva had to take charge of pacifying Her, he did not offer any clothes to cover the #truth, but He lied down under Her feet to resurrect the power of #love and #compassion of a caring and loving husband in Her to bring Her back in normalcy.

He won Her by #love and not by any #logic of so-called weak people

This way of becoming pure through burning themselves as part of the general psyche of the people's ancient #bharat which was just reflected in this beautiful song of Rabindranath Tagore…

Aguner poroshmoni choaon prane...

Enjoy the music

Translation:

Give a touch of the fiery magical stone to my life,

Purify me, clarify me, enlighten me,

With all severe pain, purify my soul.

Uphold my mortal body high, enlightened

Allow me to serve your temple as the burning lamp inside –

Let the lamp radiate through my songs.

With your petite touches into the darkness

Nascent stars arise glimmering all night.

My eyes will not find a dark spot anywhere

It will be light everywhere

All my sufferings would burn and soar skyward.

For all the devotees of #maakaali - the real seekers - if you cannot digest the power of naked truth and try to experience it with the soft veil of #untruth, you will never reach #Her

And here is for the TruthSeekers of the UNIVERSE my wife #Reema's definition of TRUTH

Satyameva Jayate...

The simple solution from a simple guy to the big complicated problem - Global Warming - unlike the Global Leaders...

A takeaway from PURULIA vis-a-vis #Environment 

When the #globalleaders are so worried about high-funda stuff like #pollutoin #globalwarming

that they travel a very long distance on their #privatejets

and meet with each other

called #summit

my little brain has thought about this simple theory...

lena hai lo... nahin to bhi chalega... (#hindi)

meaning...

if you want to take it, very good... otherwise ... no problem...

with the proliferation of #internet

when from "The world is Flat"

we have come to this reality that

"The Flat is the World"

which essentially means that we really don't have to travel long distances to attend all such

#summit

for

#timepass

and

#drama

when physical movement has really become #outdated

let's bring back the old and #timetested

#bicycle

#horsecart

#bullockcart this one is exclusively for people of #bharat because we don't have many horses

#skating

#tricycle

#rickshaw

people are encouraged to add whatever they think will do

but without producing much

#gases

which might create

#gaslighting

no more #gases for the #universe

watch the video to know about the ugliest agenda of a globalist

can I ask Ballgates, that instead of reducing the population growth P to zero, how about the number of services S tend to zero and leave a happy healthy UNIVERSE for our children?

Come ON... The Humans of the UNIVERSE...

Wake up...

Don't remain blindfolded anymore

Wake up... ask questions...

Or else...

Here we go ... 

the modern-day manifestation of 

The Peacock and The Crow story

So... Come ON...

Humans of the UNIVERSE, please be aware of the fake Environmentalists planted by #Davos

Environment protection is not equivalent to #ESG (Environment Social and Governance) or imposing the Carbon Tax as promoted by a few globalists to screw up Humans of the UNIVERSE

The environment is what we know from ancient times in Bharat.

Especially for the people of Bharat - never forget about the Jayanthi Tax of the Congress era which derailed many good works of Bharat in the guise of protecting the environment.

So here's the #Nemo of the society asking you...

  Be wise and enjoy...

The Kalchakra - the Wheel of Time...

 

We have all studied in detail about #cyclicdependency in #ooad, #deadlock in #concurrency, and all such stuff as problematic stuff - an irritating nuisance.

but probably we have not thought about the latest tech that #lordshiva has created which is based upon this with great improvisation.

He came to my dream last night and explained in detail about it. he named it #suckerturnedintosucked with an infinite loop.

let me explain it to you.

when the sucked is exhausted with his energy, feels dizzy, and about to die, with the blessing of the #lordshiva he turns into a sucker and starts sucking the earlier sucker.

then again when the currently sucked becomes exhausted, with the blessings of #lordshiva, he again turns into the sucker and the current sucker becomes an object to be sucked.

and the cycle continues

in terms of software, the infinite loop.

#lordhiva planned this innovation and was working on it when the global leaders were jumping in joy with the great concepts of #globalization and all such things

for the #creators and #writers

someone please pick up your pen and start writing the reverse story...

from "The World is Flat"

to

"The Flat is the World"

this should be the new concept in the business world

till

the reverse happens again...

sab #maya

#management

#leadership

So, the humans of the UNIVERSE...

remember...

When you are UP.... look upwards...

And when you are down... look downwards...

And the most important management lesson for you

Whatever goes up... has to come down...

I think the end game of the USA and the western nations have already started...

Last but not the least - people are waking up...

In the end #Truth will be the winner...

Avahan - the name of our home in Kolkata - in search of my roots...

Happy birthday... #babu-san...

Happy birthday .... babu-san...

A successful relationship needs long-term planning... unlike use and throw... it's possible only when the relationship is not built upon things, possession, status, money, job, looks, give and take, etc but upon values and sense of joy which can only be felt but not touched... takes time and tremendous maturity for a person to realize that. mostly these days I have found the basic beginning of a relationship starts on the flimsy ground of - job status and salary associated with the boy and the figure and looks of the girl... seems a bit esoteric and philosophical, but actually relationship is more of a philosophy than science. - it is a matter of the heart not the brain...

I don't want to make it personal but if I don't do it, the authenticity of my claim will be lost forever.

when I went to my wife Reema's home with a marriage proposal, I was a broken soul - kicked out from my job and almost all the jobs I tried to do after completing engineering, was not great with real skills in software which might make my future bright and hence hardly had any confidence if I could feed her or take care of her in the future, and at the same time, my wife was also not in her best version - she was also kind of a broken soul, hardened by the circumstances just trying to get the right #soulmate for her future. so we started our marriage life - unlike others thinking about rosy pictures of honeymoon and candle-light dinner and many such things - but more like accepting the #reality - we were struggling individually, now let us start struggling together and see if we can survive.

and not only that, after marriage, even after I became really strong with great software skills, I was badly exploited by the various IT companies of #bharat and I was forced to change many jobs, places and treated exactly like a pariah dog by the industry - almost on the verge of breakdown many times. but #reema was always there for me. she never demanded anything - #time  #gift #money #jewellary and believe me - took all the responsibility to shield me from the burnout from both professional and personal lives, and I spent that time wisely in front of the computer, #google building my skills, burning midnight oil even after working the whole day in the pathetic atmosphere of IT companies of #bharat.  she only wanted to see me #win

as I had developed tremendous financial insecurity over the years, she tried to smoothen that with the (a little bit of #false) assurance of her ancestral property just to give me a solace ..."don't worry... keep walking... don't have to think about money... we will manage it somehow...". although later this created a little bit of misunderstanding between us - as I believe in my own #karma and really don't want to depend upon anybody else for support, and hence took it as if she was trying to downplay my efforts to survive, but later she clarified the real purpose behind it - just to make me relax about money and do my own #karma - building skills and strength for the future and hence the matter was sorted out in between us.

we survived the challenge.

it created solid bonding between us.

it was not really physical or anything that can be touched - but it was on a very high level of understanding - the essence of #friendship of #rigveda 

- a friend in need is a friend indeed...

and now all of this knowledge we utilize to raise our only son - #ridit -  with the hope that one day he will also have - either his best friend as his partner or make his partner as his best friend.

life lesson...

a #home cannot be bought by #money

today is my wife's birthday...

let's celebrate all the strong women of this #universe

they are assets to society.

#love #peace #joy #inspire #learning

Last but not least .... Reema you had brought some fresh air in my life...

Here we go... Hey Nutan... 

The English translation of the song

O' the newest appearance,

Let the graceful moment of birth emerge once again.

May you rise through the haze of fog

Elegant like the sun.

Sprout yourself through subjects relinquished.

Life be proclaimed,

The perpetual truth you embed be proclaimed.

Conch sounds at the eastern horizon, and within my soul –

The ever-new is welcomed

The Twenty fifth day of Boishakh.

Friendship - as defined in the Rig Veda - try to become the best friend with each and everyone of your family...

As tomorrow we are going to celebrate the birthday of my wife #reema, I think it's time to discuss the meaning of #friendship in the true sense.

I wish for everyone in this #universe either to get his/her best friend as a life partner or make your life partner your best friend ever to lead a happy life.

I am very naive in the true sense about the treasure of knowledge our ancestors created thousands of years ago. However, because of the internet, research has become easy.

We have kept the name of our only son #ridit - which means #rigveda - the oldest Veda of #bharat. Very soon we will get him introduced to the #sanskrit language so that unlike me, he does not have to depend on others to learn life skills and philosophy firsthand from the treasure trove of ancient #bharat

Translation (taken from the Internet. sorry for my lack of knowledge)

1. The Gods have not ordained hunger to be our death; even to the well-fed man comes death in varied shapes.

The riches of the liberal never waste away, while he who will not give finds any to comfort him.

 

2. The man with food in-store who, when the needy comes in miserable case begging for bread to eat,

 

Hardens his heart against him – even when of old he did him service – finds not one comfort him.

 

3. Bounteous is he who gives unto the beggar who comes to him in want of food and feeble.

 

Success attends him in the shout of battle. He makes a friend of him in future troubles.

 

4.No friend is he who to his friend and comrade who comes imploring food, will offer nothing.

Let him depart—no home is that to rest in –, and rather seek a stranger to support him.

 

5. Let the rich satisfy the poor implorer, and bend his eye upon a longer pathway.

 

Riches come now to one, now to another, and like the wheels of car are ever rolling.

 

6. The foolish man wins food with fruitless labor; that food – I speak the truth – shall be his ruin.

He feeds no trusty friend, no man to love him. ALL GUILT IS WHO HE EATS WITH NO PARTAKER.

 

7. The plowshare plowing makes the food that feeds us, and with its feet cuts through the path it follows.

Better the speaking than the silent Brahman; the liberal friend outvalues him who gives not.

 

8. He with one foot hath far outrun the biped, and the two-footed catches the three-footed.

Four-footed creatures come when bipeds call them, and stand and look where five are met together.

 

9. The hands are both alike; their labor differs. The yield of the sister milch kine is unequal.

The Gist

• A friend indeed is a friend in need.

• Wealth is for distribution

• Food is for sharing.

Here we go...

শুধু তোমার বাণী নয় গো, হে বন্ধু, হে প্রিয়, মাঝে মাঝে প্রাণে তোমার পরশখানি দিয়ো ॥ সারা পথের ক্লান্তি আমার সারা দিনের তৃষা কেমন করে মেটাব যে খুঁজে না পাই দিশা-- এ আধার যে পূর্ণ তোমায় সেই কথা বলিয়ো ॥ হৃদয় আমার চায় যে দিতে, কেবল নিতে নয়, বয়ে বয়ে বেড়ায় সে তার যা-কিছু সঞ্চয়। হাতখানি ওই বাড়িয়ে আনো, দাও গো আমার হাতে-- ধরব তারে, ভরব তারে, রাখব তারে সাথে, একলা পথের চলা আমার করব রমণীয় ॥ Shudhu tomar baani noy go, hey bondhu, hey priyo, Maajhe maajhe praane tomar paroshkhani diyo Saara pather klanti aamar saara diner trisha Kemon kore metabo je khnuje na paai disha E aandhar je purna tomay sei katha bolio Hriday aamar chaay je dite kebal nite noi, Boye boye beraay se tar ja kichhu sanchay Haatkhani oi baariye aano, daao go aamar haate Dhorbo taare, bhorbo taare, raakhbo taare saathe, Ekla pather chala aamar korbo ramoniyo. Maajhe maajhe praane tomar paroshkhani diyo.

English Translation

Extend your delicate touch toward me, O my friend dear, not your words only. Weariness of my entire course, Thirst of the whole day - I know not how to quench, How to keep at bay. Please remind me that - You fill the darkness and gray. My heart is willing to dole out, Acceptance is not what I only care, Carrying all its reserves And whatever it could spare. Extend your nimble hands towards me, Let me hold them firm, I'll fill them with my might, I'll keep them warm. Your subtle presence I would enjoy, Lonesome journey be delightful to me.
