इन्सानी फितरत

आज १२०० का ओक्सिमीटर, २००० में बिक गया,

इन्सां नाम का भेडिया, और नीचे गिर गया। 

य़े कोरोना म्युटेन्ट भी अजब रंग बदल गया,

पर रंग स्याह, इन्सानी चेहरे का हो गया। 

अपनी मतलब परस्ती की खातिर, हम आपकी जिन्दगी से खेल जायेगें,

क़ोइ मरता है तो मरे, हम आगे ही बढते जायेंगे। 

उन्चीं ईमारत के वास्ते, बुनियाद गहरी जरूरी है,

जितने उसूल नीचे हैं, उतनी बुलन्दी पक्की है। 

Solar eclipse and our ancient wisdom

Rig Veda 5.40.5,5.40.9

यत् त्वा सूर्य स्वर्भानुस्तमसाविध्यदासुर∶Ι     
अक्षेत्रविद् यथा मुग्धो भुवनान्यदीधयुःΙΙ5ΙΙ
यं वै सूर्यं स्वर्भानुस्तमसाविध्यदासुर∶Ι
अत्रयस्तमन्वविन्दन् नह्यन्ये अशक्नुवन्ΙΙ9ΙΙ

"हे सूर्य! जब आप किसी एक ऐसे से अवरुद्ध हो जाते हैं, जिसे आपने अपना प्रकाश उपहार में दिया है, तो पृथ्वी अंधेरे से भ्रमित हो जाती है।"
“O Sun! When you are blocked by the one whom you gifted your own light (moon), then earth gets scared by sudden darkness”


Those who believed in Flat earth theory are teaching us about cosmology today. It was mentioned in our sacred text when other religions weren't even born.

But, at the same time, we should also do some introspection that even after having so much wisdom for past so many centuries, it is the western world which has achieved new milestones in space n cosmology. Why?

Because we have limited/restricted our religion to petty things. We have limit our religion to kitchen. There are pundits who are running thier shops by advising people what n what not to eat during eclipse! Even our mainstream media has went down to the same level. Not to blame media, as it is just the reflection of society.

When we feel proud in sending our kids to convent schools, when we feel proud seeing them working in MNC's, when we feel proud in copying western lifestyle blindly, what else can be expected.

We need to create education institutions who can imbibe indian values, wisdom in our young generation. But, first n foremost, it is the responsibility of every Indian parent/family to reveal ancient knowledge to our children. Instead of just pushing them to get a job, let them explore their lives, let them search about thier glorious past, let them interpret the wisdom which is lying in our holy books.

Otherwise, we will keep looking towards other countries for knowledge/technology transfer. Whether it is Aviation, Space, Defence, Medical, Wellness, or any other sector, we always look towards others. India can not become a global leader by copying others. We need to be self dependent.

We can not be leathargic about it. Mediocrity is a crime. If we are satisfied with a job, a 3bhk, an SUV, and calling ourselves successful, we are under big illusion. That life is successful which contributes for the country.

Each one of us need to dig our past, take out precious knowledge, make it easy n simple to understand and spread that knowledge with others. This will spark curiosity in our kids, this will build a sense of pride in them. A confident generation dares to try new things, an enlightened generation doesn't feel apologetic about it's rituals.

Time has come to realize our true potential and work to the best of our ability to bring back the golden era for our "भारत माता" !!

True colours of Fascism and Intolerance

Ongoing violent protest against citizenship Amendment Act clearly reveals the true character of leftist and separatist elements. These elements always accuse BJP government for intolerance and fascist approach. In 2019 general elections BJP forthrightly mentioned CA and other issues like Article 370, Triple Talaq in their Manifesto and with this Manifesto BJP entered in elections saying that if they come to power they will fulfill these promises.

In a democracy (in which leftist have little faith) people choose a party or parties to do what they have promised. In 2019 elections, majority of people voted in favour of BJP means majority of Indians want these issues to be address in the manner BJP promised them to address. Now any person, political party or community have full right to oppose government decisions if it is not fulfilling these promises. But when the protest is such that you want an elected government to rollback their promised bills or Acts, you prove yourself the living embodiment of Fascism and hypocrisy. Such people have no right to talk about Intolerance.

Although this is nothing new. It might be new to India, but it is a global characteristic of Left brigade. They are doing same thing in UK. Under the fake name of Secularism, radical elements are being safeguarded and even promoted in political arena. That is how they were able to get a radical Pakistani elected as a Mayor of London. And these so called liberals who propagate inclusiveness are staunchly against any diferent opinion. 

In order to fight this ephemeral resistance, not everything has to be done by government. This immortal civilization has always thrived on the shoulders of common man. It is the responsibility of every Indian parent to imbibe the patriotic values in next generation by enlightening them about their culture, history and great traditions that have withstood the test of time. For Government, GDP growth can be a major 'Key Performance Indicator', but in real sense it is just a by-product of our unified working, shared values and common beliefs. Let us understand that we are torch bearer of this great civilization, and we will not let anyone....anyone to divide this nation again. Nothing is bigger than "Bharat Maa", no ideology, no political party, no religion....nothing can come in between our goal to make this country great again.

माँ

तू तन्हा नहीं, देख, वो हमेशा तेरे साथ खड़ी है।
वो शरारतें भी पाक़ हो जाएँ, जिनकी यादों से माँ जुडी है ॥

दूर हो जाऊं उससे, ये मुमकिन नहीं।
मेरी हर सांस उसकी मौजूदगी की मुनादी है ॥

Media, War, and Secularism

Media is meant to be unbiased and neutral, if not indifferent which at times BBC seems to do. In the past few years, ever since the Indian Television is flooded with so many news channels, all of them had started facing the challenge of being different. It is out of this burden that almost all of them have chosen a different style of presenting news, which in turn have lead them to create news, other then modifying news according to their personal goals(economical or ideological).

Creation of news is done according to the convenience of their ideology and saleability of the news. In the last general elections, almost all of them divided in two groups. Either they supported Modi, or they were against him. And they showed no sign of hesitation in getting tagged for the same. Some hindi news channels apparently come out with C grade sensational news, which they feel of no harm, unless it is reaping them the high TRP ratings. On the other side, few channels, who present themselves as sophisticated elite media have been caught in the trap of Pseudo-secularism. Out of the yearning for sanctimoniousness, they end up in taking secularism classes for viewers.

Now, the recent case is of an elite channel who is self appointed flag bearer of secularism. This news channel has send its reporter to the battlefield of Gaza. It vociferously showed the so called atrocities of Israel army over the helpless, innocent people of Gaza. The anchor emphasised that the innocent people also include many women and children. And the rockets were being dropped on residential areas from which Israel has no threat. That secular anchor of India's biggest pseudo-secular channel also highlighted the fact that only 64 Israelis were killed against 1900 people of Gaza. While doing so, she could not hide her eagerness for balancing the figures! After all, this is what secularism is! Equality! Justice for Minority!

I wonder why this channel had not send its team to war-torn country of Iraq, where more than a lakh Iraqis have died since 2011. In recent insurgency operation by ISIL(or ISIS), more than a 1000 people have died in just two days, many of them were school kids and women. More than a million people are forced to live in refugee camps. But this is not a news. Because, this is not sensational. This is Muslim killing Muslim. There is no masala in this news. Media's secularism is restricted to Muslims killed by Hindu, or Jews, or Christians etc. Because only then these channels can encash the sentiments of a community.

In many public protest, done by various groups of muslim community across the nation, people have demolished public property in the name of people dying in Gaza. If they are so concerned about human life, then there should be more fierce protest against Iraq war, given the fatality & scale of war in Iraq. But no, they can protest against Iraq war only when US is involved in that. This is hardcore hypocrisy.

But such behaviour is not expected from National Media. Instead of revealing the true facts of war, media every time seems to get carried away with the feelings of minorities. Why is secularism confined to the interest of minorities only, or why media is taking care of anybody's interest, for that matter. It should present facts without getting affected by the compulsion of being politically correct. Unless that happens, Indian Media, especially electronic media can not claim itself as true voice of Indian public.

स्वतंत्रता संग्राम सैनानी स्वर्गीय श्री ब्रजेन्द्र केशोरैया जी (मेरे बाबा) की पावन पुण्य तिथि पर समर्पित चंद पंक्तियाँ

सजा के सपने आँखों में चले थे हम वहां
स्वर्णिम आभा माँ की आलोकित होगी जहाँ.
माँ तुझे समर्पित थी जवानी, और बाकि जिंदगानी,
तेरे ही दम से दफ़न कर दी दुष्ट फिरंगी की मनमानी.

सींचकर अपने लहू से आजाद तुझे कराया था,
हम कि जिसके सर पे मेहरबान तेरा साया था.
जुबाँ पे हिन्द, लहू में हिन्द, रोम-रोम में हिंदुस्तान था,
जिस्म अलग हुआ मगर रूह में वो सनातन था.

हुए स्वतंत्र पर स्वावलंबी बनना बाकि था,
ली शपथ, पहना चोला, रंग-रूप जिसका खादी था.
चल पड़े लेकर ध्वज नूतन ग्राम स्वावलंबन का,
कर लिया आलिंगन आन्दोलन का,
जाति का भेद मिटाने, शिक्षा का चिरंतन दीप जलाने,
निकल पड़े हम सेनानी, भारत माँ की सेवा में लिख गए एक अमर कहानी.

नीम का पेड़

आज सुबह जब खिड़की खोली,
नीम की पत्ती मुझसे बोली,
में तो हूँ इतनी कडवी,
फिर भी तुम रोज निहारते, मुझे देखकर खुश हो जाते.
कारण क्या है ये तो बताओ,
ऐसे ना तुम मुझे सताओ.
प्रश्न सुन में मुस्काया, हुआ चकित, थोडा भरमाया,
होठों पर मुस्कान बन, आये दिन पुराने याद,
याद आई वो पकी निमोरियां बहुत दिनों के बाद,
उनको देख में झुंझलाता,
आँगन में खेल न पाता.
जब सूखी पत्तियों में लगती आग,
धुएं से हो जाता बुरा हाल.
शाम को जब सूरज ढल जाता, चंदा मामा छत पर आता,
गरम हवा जब मुझे जलाती,
नीम की पत्तियां ठंडी-ठंडी,
उस गर्मी से हमें बचातीं.
दशहरे पर जब उडती पतंग,
नीम का वो पेड़ हमेशा रहता था संग,
ये उसी की ठंडी छाँव का कमाल था,
जो जेठ की भरी दुपहरी में पतंग उड़ाते,
और नीचे आकर माँ की खूब सारी डांट खाते.
ऐसी अनेकानेक यादों से भरा है बचपन,
और हर उस याद में रचा-बसा है वो नीम का पेड़.
उसकी पत्तियां हो सकता है कडवी लगेंगी,
पर उससे जुडी यादें हमेशा मीठी रहेंगी.
