INSPIRED by Shri Indresh Kumar, Sah-Sampark Pramukh of RSS, the Nationalist Muslim Movement and some other Muslim organisations in Delhi took the initiative and collected money during the month of Ramazan to help the terrorism-affected families in Kashmir. The organisations that collected money for this pious cause include My Hindustan, Rashtravadi Muslim Andolan, Bharatiya Muslim Parishad and others. This was for the first time that Muslim organisations collected money during the month of Ramazan for the families of terrorist victims in Kashmir. On December 14, 2004, Smt. Nafisa Hussain, Member, National Commission for Women, flagged off a truck loaded with 115 sewing machines and 250 blankets. Shri Arif Beg, former minister and president of Anjuman Aman Dost Insan Dost, led the team that visited Kashmir to distribute the relief material. The relief material was distributed to 90 women in two different programmes held at Srinagar and Baramulla.

We need such more such cooperative efforts to develop harmony among diverse religions in India

Improvement projects - Society Development

Improvement projects all around will develop a society. In japanese companies progress was driven by improvement projects initiated by workers in millions. No doubt today they are unable to compete with more cheap sources of labour. But still they could beat USA in a number of industries because their quality was more and cost was less.

I keep urging various national organizations to motivate their local set ups to take up social improvement work. Organizations like RSS which have local sakhas, congress seva dal, trade unions etc. can take up some improvement projects at their local outfit level to bring improvement all around. We had NSS of students. We have to do and create success stories and leverage small successes into big successes.

My another post in the topic

We do not have many things. What we do not have can be recorded in world development report. Before them we als know them. But how to improve them. How much improvement you are able to do around you before retiring tired. Each of us has to do something worthwhile around us and then during periods we are tired to do something on our own, encourage others to do something. We need millions of self improvement projects to improve our society. I hope this orkut discussion will be prove useful to create some.

RSS Vijaya Dasami Function

I attended the vijaya dasami function in our locality. As it was a street corner many people gathered around and watched the proceedings. I was also one of them.

But the speaker has not made an appeal to them to participate in RSS activities from that day. In the talk, the basic purpose of RSS was not adequately put forward. The basic purpose is to bring together people at various levels(from sakha to nation and even world) and involve them in planning and acting for development of the society.

There has to be social development activity at sakha level and in such public functions, activities at various levels have to be recounted. Straight away going to Kashmir problem or Ram setu problem ignoring local social problems like overcrowded railway platforms, deteriorated roads, may not attract many participants. Social development must include local problems.

I came across a very old issue of a local paper

If you lost a friend
due to a hasty word
Go immediately and make him friend once again
Don't stand for any pride
Friendship is more valuable
Than imagined issues

My orkut posting on the topic why communists oppose Hinduism

The main plank of communism is fighting against exploitation. But somewhere in developing his philosophy Marx came with the idea that because of religion, workers are not realising the need to fight capitalists and he argued that religion is developed to support capitalists.

Hence working against religion has become part of communism. In India to create confusion and chaos, communists work against Hinduism and support muslims.

It is high time communists concentrate on figthing exploitation leaving the anti- religion stance.

Exploitation is very high in this country and you need organizations fighting against it.

Change old traditions to bring unity of Hindus

I just studied an address by Shri Balasaheb Deoras in his Vijaya Dasami address in the year 1991, calling for ending all old traditions that are coming in the way of building a unified hindu society.

It is a telugu publication by Bharat Prakashan Trust Vijayavada. Listen to the voice of reason.

Hindu Muslim Unity

I actively participate in various communities of Orkut and express my opinion based on my current thinking or based on writings various authors. This is my latest posting in RSS community in the topic - How to achieve Hindu-Muslim unity ?



Dattopant Thengadiji's views

The attitude of Hindu Dharma towards different religions has enabled it to become a Confederation of all religions. Similarly its attitude towards Law has helped it to become a Vishva Dharma.


In the chapter "Real Character and Spirit of Hindu Law" in the book The Perspective, A Collection of Articles of Dattopant B. Thengadi, published by Sahitya Sindhu, Bangalore in 1971.

Please see the excerpts from the chapter that I posted in:

http://grihyasutras.blogspot.com/2007/09/real-character-and-spirit-of-hindu-law.html

Also I came across references in this book, which speak good of Islamic religion also. There are directions or ways to achieve Hindu Muslim Unity or Hindu- any religion unity. We have to find out at least one way and do something about it.

Deen Dayal Upadhyaya - Social and Political Philosophy

Integral Humanism

Coperative processes are more in the society in comparison to conflict processes. that is why societies are growing.

A conflict in society is like a disease in a person. The body has the capability to get rid of the disease and become healthy again.

Society has the capability to end the conflict. social workers must try to improve this capability like doctors improve the capability of the body to fight the disease.

Mass contact by political parties

An active worker of a political party can contact easily 50 persons, who could be their potential supporters at their house every year. Around 2000 members will be required at a parliamentary constituency level to meet 1,00,000 persons. But no political party seems to be practicing this mass contact. Why?

Unity in Extreme Diversity - Hindu Gods Symbolize it

The practice of unity in diversity casts faith on interdependence. swami Suddhananda explains the practice of unity in extreme diversity by referring to the togetherness of Shiva, Shakti, Ganapati and karthikeya.

They have as their constant means of transport, the bull, the lion, the mouse and the peacock. In addition Shiva wears a snake around his neck. The lion normally feeds on the bull, while the snake feeds on the mouse. Peacock feeds on the snake. Still they live in divine unison, thye live joyfully in peaceful co-existence.

Also remember, Adi Sankara founded his monastery in the place where he observed to his delight, a serpent protecting with its raised hood a pregnant toad from rain.

Excerpts from Establish yourself on true strength by K Vijayaraghavan in Economic Times dated 18-6-2007 (June) in the editorial page under the column Cosmic Uplink

Social Capital

I came across this concept in an article in Hindu dated August 26,2007 page 14 by P.K.Doraiswamy.

Social capital is the capacity of people to act together willingly in their common long-term interest.

The article stated taht democracy is not a spectator sport for the people of the country. They have to influence policy and project formulation through membership of committees, submission of memoranda directly or through elected representatives, and through an interactive role in the implementation of policies, projects and schemes.

Their participation in exposing irregularities is also important for improvement in the quality of governance.

The various roles can be:

Watchdog
Advocate
Agitator
Educator
Service provider; government neglected areas can be taken up by civil society.

Meaning of Brahmana

Brahman means prayer or devotion reflecting an authoritative utterance of a priest. Utterance is particularly related to sacrifice and the brahmanas are so called as they are repositories of such utterances.

Political and Social Philosophy of Gandhi

Political and Social Philosophy of M.N. Roy

Rule 1: Man is archetype of society, co-operative social relationships contribute to develop invidual potentialities. But the development of the individual is the measure of social progress.

Rule 2: Quest for freedom and search for truth constitute the basic urge of human progress.

Roy is of the view that, “religion is bound to be liquidated by science, because scientific knowledge enables mankind to answer questions, confronted by which in its childhood, it was compelled to assume super-natural forces or agencies.”[

Mission, Objectives, Vision, Goals Definitions

Mission or Purpose: Mission is an organization’s concept of itself and its service to customers and to society, expressed in terms that give the organization meaning and legitimacy. It is a long-term vision of what the organization seeks to do and the reasons why it exists

Objectives: Objectives specify the results sought over the long-term through the ongoing, long-run operations of the organization. These outcomes include the desired results for the customers of the organization (its mission) as well as the outcomes it desires for its other stakeholders.

Vision: is an important goal cherished and emphasized by the organization.

Goals: The goals of an organization are the intermediate quantitative and qualitative “performance target” which management seeks to attain in moving toward organizational objectives. Thus where as objectives are long range in nature, goals are short range and measurable. They serve to indicate the speedd and momentum which management seeks to maintain in accomplishing the organization’s objectives and purpose.

Strategy: Strategy is a comprehensive description of an
organization’s master plan for achieving its goals and objectives (vision and mission).

Policies: Policies guide decision making when executing strategy.

Vision - I have a dream... For a better tomorrow

A little over five years ago, when i took over the reins of the government, I started off with a mission - to make Andhra Pradesh the foremost State in the country in terms of growth, equity, and quality of life.
My Vision is that Andhra Pradesh should be a State where poverty is totally eradicated; that every man, women and child has access not just to basic minimum needs, but to all the opportunities to lead an happy and fulfilling life; and that we must emerge as a knowledge and learning-based society build on the values of hard work, honesty, discipline and a collective sense of purpose.

Sociology of Political Order - An Introduction

Source: Ian Robertson

Over 2000 years ago the philosopher Aristostle observed that we are political animals. We are indeed, and necessarily so, for politics is an inevitable consequence of social living.

Power: "the ability to control the behaviour of others, even in the absence of their consent."

When people accept the control even when they diagree with its application to them, it legitimate power. A judge's decision is accepted by a person even though he may not be happy with the decision.

It is coercion when people do not agree with the exercise of power. A dacoit taking away household goods by controlling the behaviour of people by threatening them with dire consequences.

State

State is the institution in the society that successfully claims a monopoly on the right to use force within a given territory.

Sociology of Religion An introduction

Source: sociology by Ian Robertson, Worth Publishers, Inc., New York, 1977

Religion is a universlal social institution, but it takes a multitude of forms.

The definition given by author is that religion is a system of communally held beliefs and practices that are oriented toward some sacred, supernatural realm.

To a sociologist religion is a social product, created by human beings and not by supernatural forces.

One of the sociologists, Reece McGee divides religions into four main types.

Religions of simple suernaturalism, animism, theism, and abstract ideas.

Simple supernaturalism: Belief in supernatural forces. No concept of god.

Animism: Belief in supernatural powers of animate spirits. no concept of god.

Theism: concept of god. Number of gods or belief in only God. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam beleive in one god. But the author says thye also have belief in multiple divine entities and concepts like Father and Son etc.

Abstract ideals: No god but higher ideals. Example - Buddhism

Theodicy: A common feature of religions is that they have a convincing explanation for the birth and death and usual problems of human existence. If such an explanation is not there, the universal sequence of birth and death can easily seem meaningless.

Religion: A functionalist analysis

Durkheim, a poineer and famous socioligist was the first to apply functionalist perspective to the study of religion. According to him religion is universal in human society, because it has a vital function. According to him when people engage in religious activities especially as a group, they feel great ecstacy and elation of a kind they would never feel alone. The participants ascribe this fervour to supernatural origin.

The functions of Religion

1. Religion functins as a form of social cement. It unites people by bringing them together periodically to eanct various rituals and providing them with hsared values and beliefs thatbind them together.

2. It offers explanations of common human problems and predicaments an gives people a sense of meaning and purpose in a world that might otherwise seem meaningless.

3. religion reinforces the most important norms of a society, for these tend to become part of religious doctrine and are therefore regarded as sacred.

4. Religion helps people during such major events of the life cycle as puberty, marriage, and death by providing rituals that give a structure to those events.

According to Marx, religion reflects society.

According Weber, religion influences social change.

Grihya Sutras - The Hindu Way of Daily Life

The rituals constituting the Brahmanas received systematic treatment in what are called Kalpa-Sutras. These are exegetical texts of the Vedas. The need for them arose because short manuals were required by the priests as an aid for their daily performance.

Among these texts, those that deal with Vedic sacrifices are called Srauta-Sutras and those that deal with domestic rituals are called Grihya-Sutras which, though not valuable as pieces of literature, are yet valuable as "Folk-lore" journals of ancient India. They portray an accurate picture of the social lie, popular customs and usage of ancient India.

Some important Grihya Sutras are listed below:

1.Apastamba 2. Aswalayana 3.Baudhayana 4.Bharadwaja 5.Gobhila 6.Hiranyakesia 7. Jaimineeya 8.Khadira 9.Manava 10.Paraskara 11.Sankhayana 12.Varaha Grihya Sutras.

There is another class of texts called Dharma Sutras that are an extension of the Grihya Sutras. These texts deal mainly with secular and religious laws relating to the Ashramas.

These are again supplemented by what are called Parisishtas or addenda. The Commentaries of which 25 are known; Prayogas, of which 24 are known.
There are also a dozen Karikas or specialised treatises on individual Samskaras.

In addition to these are Apta-vakyas or the words of the saints and the wise who observe and follow Sanatan Dharma (Vedic religion).They have the sanctity of Smritis in cases of doubt.

According to me Grihya sutras are very important and they are to be reformulated as per the requirements of the modern day life and they must be propagated among people through the discourses at the temples and religious gatherings like Ganesh puja, Durga puja etc.

I started the blog www.grihyasutras.blogspot.com to do my bit to bring them to the notice of more people.

Forget Vastu Worries

Hindustan Times, 28 July 2007, page 10

"Debugging our minds of scary vastu worry" is a must read for all Indians. Renuka Narayanan (renukanarayanan@hindustantimes.com)explains the rationale behind development of vastu shastra. she also mentions that vastu shashtra is different for different locations, Gangetic vastu was different from hill vastu and coastal vastu.
Why? The persons who developed the rules considered the movement of Sun, air and water in that locality and developed the rules as per the requirements of that day.

Why water well was to kept in North east in Gangetic plains? Because that's where the sun came from every morning. So that bit got warmth and light first for early morning work.

In a short line from the door and the water was the south-east, where the kitchen was located. Furthest from the fire, in a diagonal, the store was kept. In the southwest, where afternoon sun comes, family's sleeping place was kept.

All the rules were made with comfort in mind with the facilities available at that time.

Don't fret over the rules which are not applicable today. Understand the basic message. Develop Vastu of today for comfortable living.

Congratulations and appreciation to Renuka Narayanan for coming up with this very interesting insight.

Partying and Driving

Sathya Saran(ssaran@dnaindia.net), editor of Me DNA wrote a very interesting piece with the caption Me 2U in Me dated August 5 2007. The piece is about driking the real stuff in parties.

She says "Of course I party. ... At hig profile parties, it is tough to be able to stick to a soft drink. Most people wonder why I am not drinkig the real stuff. I oput on my most angelic look and tell them I do not drink because I drive.... the person I am talking to is most likely to retort, 'one drink does not hurt anybody.'"

she gave reasons why it not wise to drink even one and then drive.

she further writes, "All this I do not always bother to tell my hosts or other friendly people who think that pressing a drink on me is one way of showing they care."

She comments that she is happy to see a number people who between them decide who is drinking that evening and who is driving. Times are changing and people are thinking of their safety as well as others' safety.

She mentions a new law that will that will make more people understand the necessity of not drinking when they have to drive.

A very interesting way of communicating socially relevant issue.

Driving Training through TV

TV can be used for spreading messages regarding driving in various road conditions as well as about mistakes more frequently committed by drivers especially owner drivers. But somehow so far I have not come across usage of this medium by the transport departments.

Today I came across a driving manual on internet. There are many more I think. I shall search them and post their page ids.

Gandhian Thought

What is my interest in recording my thoughts on political and social systems?

I studied Sociology in 1983 in context of writing a competitive examination. Recently, I once again studied some books on Sociology. Hence, I am interested to notice the issues related to social and political systems and link them to Sociology concepts if possible.

Yesterday, I collected the book 'Mahatma Gandhi: A Biography' by B.R. Nanda (Oxford Paperbacks,1958) from my daughter for return to the library. I just flipped over for a casual glance and the chapter 40 on Rural Economics, caught my attention.

The Bombay session of INC in October 1934, authorised the formation under the guidance of Mahatma, All-India Village Industries Association. Earlier to this, All-India Spinners Association was established, and it extended its activities to 5,300 villages, provided employment to 220,000 spinners, 20,000 weavers, and 20,000 carders.

Gandhiji gave a call to volunteers from the towns to spread themselves in the country side to help revive dead or dying rural industries and to improve standards of nutrition, education and sanitation. Gandhiji expected these public spirited lmen and women to support themselves on 'a village scale; if they put on their work a price whihc villages could not sustain, village economy would face banruptcy. voluntary work alone could overcome the financial hurdle which made official programmes of rural uplift a snail-pace affair. Can students of NITIE Industrial Engineering program take some up projects in the area of village industries now? I already mentioned about such opportunities in my proposal for a new curriculum. Students can approach Corporate Social Responsibility departments of leading companies for sponsorship in this regard.

The other issues that attracted my attention is effort put in by Gandhi in fighting untouchability. He made it a part of his constructive political program. Was RSS inspired by Gandhi's appeal? May be or many not be. But RSS is carrying on work in this field even today.Jyotirmay Sharma, a political commentator, acknowledges it in the Edit page article of his in Hindustan Times, Mumbai, 15th May 2007. He quotes from the annual report presented at the RSS Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha held on March 9, 2007. "It speaks of the evils of casteism and untouchability being prevalent "even now', and then moves onto delineate the issues connected with this problem. ... resoultion No. 3 of the same conference speaks of the inspiration for the message of social harmony (samajik samarasata) coming from the establishment by 'saints of various religious denominations" of the VHP in 1964....Following this tradition, the VHP meeting in Allahabad in February 2007 had passed a resolution "to open the doors of temples to all Hindus for entry and darshan". It does speak of securing securing social justice and economic empowerment for the deprived sections, but advocates the way "providing equality of opportunities and social dignity on the basis of social harmony and goodwill". While, the ascent of Bahujan Samaj Party to power in UP does indicate a transformation in Indian society, a lot is to be still done to remove the idea of untouchability from the minds of masses and one wants many more social organizations to come forward and spread the message and remove untouchability totally from Indian Society.

Bahujan Samaj to Sarvajan Samaj

Saturday, May 12, 2007
Bahujan Samaj to Sarvajan Samaj
I felt happy when I first came to know that BSP won majority in UP. The movement of Dalits started may be 100 or 150 years ago has given fruitful results. It is not gift of any political leader, but the intelligence and hardwork they put in that gave the election victory to BSP. In a very short time, Mayawati developed an inclusive agenda and a party that has persons from all sections of the society. Still, everybody agrees that Dalit agenda is the main agenda of BSP. BJP should learn from Mayawati, how to develop an inclusive agenda, and include the aspirations of muslims and christians in their agenda, while emphasizing the issues that they are championing today. The attempt by L.K.Advani in Pakistan to give securalist certificate to Jinnah backfired because it was done in a haste without taking into consideration the feelings of his partymen. Jinnah was responsible for partition and the resulting bloodshed and misery, and any reconciliation about his role needs to be done in a very careful manner. But BJP should also move towards an inclusive political agenda. Such a move will create some unifying agenda in the present state of deep division among religious groups and caste groups in India.

Good for the country
by KVSS Rao on May 11, 2007 01:38 PM

It is good for country's unity and democracy that a party with the name Bahujan Samaj Party came to power on its own in the most populous state in India, when it genuinely included all sections of the society in its agenda and party. This will motivate more people, who are underdogs today, to put in efforts to come on top some day.
