Whatever you do, don't be the biggest, Be the Best

The mightiest have the farthest to fall

This world is like a sieve, where god has put in all the souls to put to test. And now it is upto us to fight the evils of this world represented by the sieve and filter on to Heaven

God is perfect. So if you want to reach god, reach for perfection.

Compromise due to love, and love due to compromise are two very different things

First learn to say ' I ' before you say "I love you"

A person cries at someone's death, not out of pity for the dead person, but out of pity for himself.

There is no better test in this world, than the test of time.

A dish amazingly garnished and decorated may sell once but unless the taste and nourishment equals the decoration it won't sell again. Similarly, a person might be extremely beautiful & attractive but unless his/her nature and character are as pure and worthy as the outer appearance, He/She is worthless.

Modern Hindu Conservatism

IN a country following a religion that preaches love, respect, tolerance, and submission to truth and one’s inner self, it is appalling to witness such intolerance of one person wishes and freedom of love for another. In the wake of the recent wave of honor killings that the North India seems to be witnessing in the name of self-respect, religious and social beliefs, one fails to understand on which adaptation of the Hindu religion have these murderous people willingly and self consciously slaughtered their very own brothers, sisters, children and grand children. In the name of sacrifice to earn the respect of the society and the wishes of ancient Hindu rituals not to allow inter-caste marriage, has the modern hindu beliefs undergone a paradigm shift from the ancient and the extremely admired form of Hindu religion. The temples of Khajurao, the teachings of Kama Sutra both an intricate aspect of ancient hindusim are bold enough to raise the brows of the today’s Westerners. Even closer home, the daily worship of the very spiritual and religiously supreme form of Hindu god, the phalanx of the Great Shiva, is considered one of the most auspicious and most commonly followed form of worship of the god. So much so that it is considered imperative for all unmarried Indian women to pour milk and seek blessing from the Shiva phalanx every day in order to find a suitable husband. Priests covered only in loincloth worship in many such temples all over the country blessing men and women from all walks of life. Why then should we show such narrow mindedness and ignorance when faced with true love blossoming between two young beings?! Why can we not disregard their caste status and instead except them for who they are and what they share amongst each other. Why should an invisible tag of belonging to a small sect of society created several hundred years ago, to group people by their occupation become an obstacle in the current modern  society when they hold no relation to that section or to the occupation of that community save for the tag that is reflected in their family name. Sociologists claim that this is done to ensure the continuity of their family name and community. But how fair is it to kill their own kin also a member of the society they claim to protect?

Hinduism has always preached love, and not just love for thy neighbour, but also love for one’s life partner. Waging epic wars to protect the love and respect between husbands and wives. Their stories have been passed on day after day to promote the existence and to emphasise the need for true love. Krisna, one of the greatest gods of Hindu mythology, was always known to be, to put it simply, a Casanova, running after gopiyas of all ages and of all castes, this despite being in love with the one woman  of his desire, whom he never actually married, but is still always associated with. And despite having such a colourful history, hindu’s today are still intolerant of most of the intimacies that take place between the two sexual beings that existed and was accepted earlier (example. Prostitution, once a much respected profession now outlawed). It is as if the hindu thought process having reached its zenith in ancient times has since then became more conservative and backward than ever before.
