My transformation story - from a broken soldier to a daring warrior...

 

let me admit it openly...

in 2002, when I got married, I was almost kind of a broken soldier -  physically, emotionally, financially, knowledge-wise

my wife #reema probably sensed it and roared 

ok... I got ur back...

we went to #bangalore

in the first one or two months, #reema gifted me 

#Gita

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

I took it very seriously

I started listening to it - kind of imbibed it 

and started thinking me just like #arjun - absolutely confused - perplexed - no idea what to do next - helplessly looking for his #Sakha - #lordkrishna

and it went for many years - the dreaded long period of struggle

then, one day, suddenly started watching the training of the commandos of the Indian Army - and I remembered my childhood version of myself - the fighter - the real player in the competition - the never-say-die attitude - the young version of me with a cool head but an agile body...

and believe me - I started walking backward - towards the roots - from where I started...

and I got back myself - my true self

gradually got back my power

got back my voice

and the real #aham - my true self - came out - under many layers of conditional false societal norms

and today i am playing one of the most important roles of my life

#fatherhood 

as the 

#guru 

of my young son

#ridit

weaponizing him with knowledge and wisdom

to fight the battle of life

just like a warrior

and not as a feeble person

so I highly recommend #gita 

for all those broken soldiers who are trying to find out a solution to come back with even greater force to reckon with-to serve the human society

and obviously- 

#Gita is for the people who are at the prime time of their energy - who think they can move the mountain - and surely should not be taken as post-retirement time pass

A strong family unit - the need of the hour for modern #Hindu society

 

When I saw the #twitter trend #swamysamarth is moving towards north, I felt really jubilant. And I requested my wife #reema to find out an equivalent phrase to be trended by the husbands of the #hindu society.

I strongly feel, that once we are able to recreate the strong family bonding and trust among the #Hindus, many of the modern societal problems will be solved in #bharat. 

So, to start with, let us encourage the #husband of a family to praise even for a little bit of achievement by his wife in the global forum, and similarly, let the wife of our small family should take the initiative to praise her husbands’ achievements with a really open mind and hearts across the global forum.

Once this becomes viral and absolutely normal, the children will feel physically and emotionally secure inside the strong arms of their supportive parental units and once they become secure - they can utilize their raw creativity to really create beauty for human society.

And once they start showing their real creative talents, the responsibility of the strong parental units should be to promote them globally with an open mind and heart. Appreciate them wholeheartedly - in front of others. Let them feel important in society. And see the magic happens.

Now, in modern society, everybody actually focuses more on short-term physical health instead of long-term emotional and mental stamina - however, for a real champ or leader - it’s actually the second option that matters more.

So, my suggestions for the #Hindu family of #universe, if with age, when the physical stamina of you and your partners dwindle in a natural way, don’t make it as the mote point to break up - you better speak to one another and sort it out with the most suitable available solution - but don’t make it an issue to break a long term relationship which will ultimately hamper all of your next generations and it will continue generation after generation.

The result will be devastating.

Society will be fragmented.

And we will become inherently weak.

Just vulnerable enough to be gobbled up by external enemies.

And this is what our enemies want.

So, we better be careful and wise.

Here we go... My heart is singing today to express gratitude towards my family...

The English Translation...

Allow me to touch your feet,
Please, please do not step back.
Offering my life and death, my happiness and sorrow –
I shall embrace your feet with my chest.
How long should I carry along
My desires that are complete disarray –
Please do not scatter them all,
Reconstruct them in a garland.
Annihilate disappointments of my wishes
Undone and ever thirsty,
It must come out triumphant at last –
Defeated by you.
I can't bear anymore moving door to door
Exchanging my poverty,
I may belong to you, Please accept me,

Offering me your majestic welcome-garland.

And last but not the least - for the Hindus of the UNIVERSE - the dilemma of a Hindu NRI mom watching her own daughters deviating from the path of Dharma that she tried to instill among them from their early childhood.

Hindus of Bharat - wake up and reclaim #whoyouare

Karwa Saach - Bitter Truth - A Little History Behind Partition of Bengal...

Lord Curzon undertook a tour in East Bengal "ostensibly with the object of ascertaining public opinion, but really to overawe it." 

He was soon convinced of the strength and solidarity of public opposition to any scheme for partitioning Bengal. 

This evidently confirmed his views about the strength of Bengali nationalism and the danger it spelled to British rule in India. 

He, therefore, decided to remove this danger, before it was too late, by effectively destroying the solidarity of the Bengalis. He now conceived the much more comprehensive plan of dividing the Bengali-speaking area into two separate Provinces - the whole of Northern and Eastern Bengal with Assam forming the Province of Eastern Bengal and Assam, and. Western Bengal with Bihar and Orissa 'constituting the Province of Bengal. 

The motive behind it was quite clear. In East Bengal, the Muslims, politically less advanced and more loyal to the British than the Hindus, would be in a majority, while, in Bengal. the Bengalis would form a minority by the inclusion of Bihar and Orissa. 

Thus the Bengalis would be divided from their kith and kin; the Bengali Hindus hated and dreaded by Curzon for their advanced political ideas, would form a minority in both Provinces; and a thin wedge would be driven between the Hindus and Muslims of Bengal. 

 It was undoubtedly a master plan to destroy the nascent nationalism in Bengal.

Early childhood character building is essential for an individual aspiring to serve the nation...

This is exactly how I spent my childhood days...

And this is me, today, joining the dots backward...

My early childhood days were spent mostly with my grandfather - listening to stories from Mahabharat, Ramayana and the real history of #bharat - playing barefoot on the roads of #puruliya - flying kites in the hot summer sun, playing badminton during winter, playing kaccha and Gulli-danda with a bunch of absolute financially poor people of the locality, participating in top-rotating games - but at the same time reading books likes Dwitiyo Bishwajuddher Itihaas  by Vivekananda Mukhopadhyay, Jue Verns’ Stories like 20000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, lots of Indrajaal Comics, Haanda-Bhonda - Nante - Fonte, Bantul The Great, Sharadindu Omnibus, Bengali translations of best selling books like Notredum of Hunchback, Three Musketeers, Ami Subhash Bolchi , Bottishi Singhason, Arthur Conan Doyel - spending time in the cowsheds with the cows, and of course trying to memorize few stanzas from Ramayana or Mahabharata - because of high demand from my elder sisters to be recited at any moments.

But one thing was for sure, the almost regular advice from my grandfather - was not to run behind money at any point in time. 

In fact, one day, while traveling by bus, sitting beside a Ramakrishna Mission monk at a very early age, when I was reading loudly the basic instructions written inside the bus like “Smoking is injurious to health” and all such stuff, the monk was taken aback owing to my absolute ordinary, poor outlook. So when he asked me, why I didn’t take admission to Purulia Ramakrishna Mission, I told him, exactly what my grandfather told me …

”You make lots of money from each student and I am not okay with that”.

The monk, totally shocked, asked me,

“Who told you this?”

I replied …”My grandfather”

Later, my mom always used to say

“Khoka… do your duty. Tor peter bhater obhab hobe na” 

meaning carry on. God will take care to feed you.

Hence, salary negotiation could never become a part of an important discussion for me during any new job

rather

what would be the challenge in the job and where and how I fit over there.

And I am happy to say, that I am passing on the same message to my young son…

“don’t run behind money.

one does not have to earn a lot of money to lead a happy life.

rather live a purposeful life and always aim to create an  impact for others who will come in touch with your life”

For the Bengali-speaking and reading population of the #Universe, my awakening regarding the freedom struggle of Bharat was formed at a pretty early age when my Mom read out the book "Ami Subhash Bolchi".

Individualism Vs Teamwork - my viewpoint that i wrote in 2008

 

If nobody comes along with you, you have to walk alone to establish #truth and #dharma

When I traveled and stayed in the two countries over the last two years, one thing I noticed that I would like to share. 

Both these countries are economic superpowers and have produced many great companies. 

One is Japan and the other is the USA.

I noticed that in Japan it's the team that comes first. Success and failure lie in teamwork. 

Whereas in the USA it's individualism that matters. 

Hence the USA can boast of people like Steve Jobs of the modern economy. 

Whereas Japan can boast of Toyota, Sony, Sharp, and so on. 

But these two countries are two extreme examples of 

individualism 

and 

teamwork

We, the people of #bharat, are in the middle. 

We have stopped producing iconic figures like Rama or Krishna of ancient days or Swami Vivekananda of modern days. 

At the same time, we can hardly boast of any world-class organizations. 

We lack individualism because we have already become famous as "Indian crabs"

and 

we lack great teams because of 

extreme factionalism 

and an 

inefficient system

If we want to become an economic superpower, we have to mend our ways and take any one of the extreme steps - 

individualism 

or 

team

The basic idea that all of us will produce the same amount of resources or contribute the same way to society itself is a devil's idea. We are all inherently unique - some people have tremendous positive gain, some people have negative gain - and hence there is no point in controlling the input level so that all of the people of the society create an equal amount of result - itself is wrong.

This idea of communism is not going to serve anyone or create anything marvelous for society

In Bharat, we must create a level playing ground for everyone and let the god-gifted gain produce the natural output - someone will offer tremendous gain, someone will moderate, and yet someone absolutely negative because we are inherently unique.

Enjoy my viewpoint on this...

Probably one of the finest possible birthday-gifts from a young son to his Mom...

The passage of Time - a creation of #ridit - one of the youngest computer scientists of #bharat - the new face of the #vishwagurubharat

The best management lesson during my #fatherhood can be put in words like this - 

If we really want to build a happy family - the head of the family has to make sure that we all must nurture the same principle of 

-lifting each other 

-we should all move together toward the same goal

yes. it's absolute teamwork - the special rhythm of a group of soldiers marching forward - to attain a bigger goal-pursuing a better purpose - not for anything mortal-but just to bring the rightful joy to the human souls

that's why I wrote this

#hindus of #bharat - let's get back our old #gurukul system - let's reclaim our own #whoweare - let's introduce #sanskrit as the common language in #bharat

 Today's discussion: When we came to know about the term infinity - what people across the globe know and are taught - and the reality

Please don't take it as a complete denial of the modern history of science - but we must know the #truth - if we really want to excel

The introduction of the concept of infinity in Upanishad

Please have a look at the document which is 

Śvetāśvatara(KYV) Upanishad - with the explanation from one of the monks of Ramakrishna Mission

The result of my studies on this great scientific asset of #bharat to map the term infinity

Now-  as there were not really any authentic scientific studies of the dates when Upanishads were written - hence I would like to request the Human of Bharat to take these things very seriously - if you really want to know #whoweare and reclaim our lost glory - in the new global order. There is no other way but to present the #original #bharat to the #universe 

 

Now here is a Google Search on infinity that shows a discussion on Britannica and i have taken the text from there - and it mentions that infinity was first used by ancient Greek and it was somewhere around 500 BCE.

Now, the people of #bharat - you will have to take charge to find out the date when Upanishad was written and from those, this concept of the Infinity nature of the #universe is clearly mentioned.

And I am 100 percent sure, Upanishad was written much before 800 BCE - which was the kind of data that is present on the internet.
