Conundrum of Life: "Divine Cow"

Cow, In India this is not an animal, rather it is more than an emotion to the fellow Hindus. Here Cow is signified as Mother due to obvious reasons. Here we can cut eat other animals as much as we can, and when it comes to Cows ours humanity triggers up. I am not at all against Non-Vegetarians or Non-Veg Food. It is just that, we people have taken this granted, that if we are following a spiritual path then it is okay to do something inhuman and still think that we are balancing everything.

Say for an example, In Hindu culture Veg food are considered righteous. However as the time passed people adapted western culture and also welcomed other religion and started participating in other Cultural activities and visa-versa. But as a matter of fact we also divided some specific animals in terms of food (Goat) and some to worship(Cow).

The thing I don't understand here is that, just because our spiritual God has shown his affection towards Cows, we have considered it as sacred. Which is completely fine. But what about other living creatures, are they not breathing, are they not qualified enough to get our love and affection?
Why are we discriminating them like this? What have they done to us?
Just because in our ancient literature Cow has been considered as sacred animal so that does not mean, we can start exploiting other living beings and worship Cow as Mother. Isn't that, what is happening in today's time?

Let me tell you one brutal truth, I have been noticing it since long. This sacred- sacred game is going on since the Satya yuga. When there was a divine Cow named "Kamdhunu" who gave good health, wealth and good fortune whoever worshiped her. Which was obvious as that was Satya Yuga and back then all the living creatures are considered to be supernatural beings. However back then people in Satya Yuga have never forcefully tried to get the milk from the Cow. If you look into the past and the ancient literature you will find that people back then would go to the divine Kamghenu Cow and worship the cow and put forward their wishes and then then Cow fulfills it.

Eventually as the days passed, Yuga passed and Kali Yuga started, we humans have totally changed the meaning as per our comfort and understanding. Now a days we are considering Cow as "Mother" only because it is somewhere depicted in the ancient literature and also for the milk that we get from the cow. Sorry let me rephrase it as " the milk that we "TAKE" from the cow."
Now some of you might be thinking Give or Take, How does it matter? Right?
There is a big difference between "Cow giving milk" and "We taking milk from Cow".



I have noticed, people take away most of the milk from the cow, who made this milk for its own Calf, so that it could feed on it. As calf is the one who has the primary authority on the Cow's milk and we come secondary. But our selfish human behavior turned it around without thinking about the Calf.
Now a days with the advancement of science and technology we are exploiting the Cow more brutally for its milk, whom we pretend as divine mother.

I just don't understand why these people are doing such inhuman stuffs, hiding behind the mask of spirituality and  Humanity.?
"What is wrong in considering Cow same as other animals and continue exploiting them as we are doing now, at least this way we will be honest to ourselves."
                                                                                OR
"start treating all living beings around us as living beings and show our gratitude and respect to them for sharing this earth and nature with us."

If you are still thinking this is about Cow, then let me clear this.
This is about all the inhuman and selfish behaviors that we have adapted by exploiting the nature and the living beings around us.
Somewhere we name it as food and exploit it and somewhere we entitle it as Mother or God and exploit it. But the exploiting business is ON and continuous and never ending here.
Eventually we have now shamelessly doing all the sadistic things to fulfill our selfish desires simply by hiding behind the mask of religion and God.

I would also like to know what do you think about this?, If you do not agree, you are welcome to keep you point here on the comment box, which might show us a new direction of thinking.

Conundrum of Life: "Love"  will be published soon...

The "Lonely" Crowd

Crowd, when we hear this word what is the first thing that comes in to the mind?
For me it is something big, which might be stronger and powerful. Isn't it?
But if I say, every single individual in the crowd is lonely, then will that make a sense, calling it a crowd. I know the answer will be No. Which is obvious. Now the question arise, why is this happening?
Human has advanced a lot with the science and technology, and I have heard that Science and technology is there to improve our way of living. What do you think, is the way if living really improved now a days?
I can see a lot of electronic gadgets and apps to connect with people now a days which were not there few years back, but why is that the crowd of lonely people is increasing day by day?

It is that the technology has stated taken over us and we are not aware about it. People are so much into getting likes and comments in social network that they have totally forgotten what a real conversation means. This is the reason people are going in to depression, committing suicide etc.
I mean that is really something wrong going on, as we can clearly see there is no short of people around us, ah if I rephrase it, the entire world is over populated and still we do not have a single person to listen to us. Is that not a serious issue that is happening around us?

Every person in some way or the other is fighting with some thoughts deep inside and is looking for someone, whom we could share our feelings and can fell better. Unfortunately we keep searching and get another reason to make our self more depressed not finding a single person with whom we can share it.

Every moment we meet new people and make new friends, if not that we have our siblings and relatives. If I start counting a long list will fall shot but WHERE ARE THEY?
Every one is either into themselves or are happy seeing others suffering. Which demotivates us more to share our ongoing feelings to any one, in a fear of making our own joke in front of all.

So now the big question that arise is, What shall we do, to come out out of this?
There might be a number of ways that might work, if you go and ask to a Psychiatrist.
But I have something that would surely work to bring out yourself out from this serious situation.

Firstly, You should realize that this is all about time and the good and bad thing about time is that, It is never constant, It changes. So be thankful to what you have, thankful that you are still breathing, that means  god has given you chance to get up and try to make your situation better. This will keep you grounded and will remind you that you are a human and you have a purpose and you need to fulfill it, doesn't matter if you know about your purpose or not, as that will eventually come to you some day.

Tips: You can search for a extraordinary stone, which is of course small in size, so that you can carry it around and name that stone "Thank you stone" or "Gratitude Stone". Every time you touch that stone, take a few second break and start thanking to the universe for all that you have with you currently. That may be family, friends, a house or a delicious meal etc.

Secondly, Start making a habit of writing your feelings somewhere, like a diary or a blog in the internet (its on you if you wish to publish it or not). This will help flow out the frustration and loneliness within you and will make you relaxed. You can also get a pet ( Dog, cat etc), always choose the pets who can be set free (not like fish, a bird etc), that will give you a beautiful company and will not judge you at all. Eventually you will notice that, you will be sharing all your feelings with the pet you have and will feel relaxed.

Thirdly, keep looking for someone around you, with good intellect and maturity and make friend. So that when the time comes you can consult him/her about your thoughts and can get help. Here if you do not get anyone, which is really tough to find in today's time, then you can go to a  Psychiatrist, who can advise you and help you professionally.




What has happened cannot be reversed, I would say, it a matter of Luck if you get someone who shows interests listening to you without any returns. Keep channeling out your feelings in any way you wish to so that you can remain calm and cool. This is a new world, if you do not learn the skill of standing alone and fighting then time will make you drown.
When ever you get a chance help the needy once, that will give you energy and will motivate you in your path. Life is Fighting, when you stop Fighting, your Life ends. Fight the situation and the time will pass and will bring a new working when you can celebrate your Victory.

Conundrum of Life: "Moving Shrine"

Shrine or the place of worship, commonly known as Temple in Hinduism. This is known to be a sacred place where we try to show our gratitude and throw on our wishes and desires in front of  the Sculpture of all mighty supreme power which we believe is the creator of the universe. This is mostly a sacred stone or a Picture which has been worshiped since a long time. According to Hindu mythology, in one Veda it is mentioned that, there are about 33 crore Gods in the universe.
Which according to another Veda, it says there are 33 types of gods.
All the ancient scripts and Vedas were written in Sanskrit language which says "33 KOTI" gods are there,
where "KOTI" was understood as "crore" as per one Veda where as in other Veda it is understood as "Type".

33 types include 8 vasu, 11 rudra, 12 adityas, Indra and Prajapati.
In some scriptures, 2 Ashwini kumaras have been included in the 33 categories of gods in place of Indra and Prajapati.

These are the names of Ashta Vasus (Elements of Nature)- 1. Prithvi(Earth) 2. Agni(Fire) 3. Vayu(Wind) 4. Antariksha(Space) 
5. Pratyusha(Eternal) 6. Dyaus(Sky) 7. Chandramas(Moon) 8. Nakstrani(Stars)

These are the names of eleven Rudras (Abstractions)- 1. Manu 2. Manyu 3. Shiva 4. Mahat 5. Ritudhwaj 6. Mahinas 7. Ayuttaras 8. Kaal 9. Vamdev 10. Bhav 11. Dhrit-Dhwaj

These are the names of the twelve Adityas (Sun Gods)- 1. Anshuman 2. Aryaman 3. Indra 4. Twashta 5. Dhatu 6. Parjanya 7. Pusha 8. Bhag 9. Friend 10. Varuna 11. Vaivasvat 12. Vishnu


I am not a spiritual guru or mahatma or a monk that I can dive deep into it and explain you about it in details. However I think this share of information is enough to make you understand what I really mean to say.

It is also said that if we go on exploring those 33 types we will get around 33 crore Gods, Now the question arise, How did they came up to this number 33 Crore?

Here I would like to share a real story or incident of my life which will help you connect the entire scenario and why is the topic named as "Moving Shrine"?

So the story starts like this,
I once had been to a holy place near Mount Abu in Rajasthan. I went there casually just to put a tick mark on the place that I have visited the place. But that turned out to be a moment of enlightenment for me when I got my answer to one of my long lasting question, Where from this god story started?

It was like a Ashram and a type of school where they provide education on who God is and where did they come from. Thankfully that was a mandatory short session of about 30 minutes which I could not ignore and had to sit and listen to what they are saying. Then they started narrating the story saying,
The entire time line of this universe is divided in to 4 parts, which most of hindu people would be knowing, Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga and Kali Yuga.

These Yugas are divided as per its nature,

First came the Satya Yuga, It is the age of truth and perfection. In this there were no crime, all the humans showed true humanity and had love and harmony all over. Due to which there was a strong power that prevailed all over that time. Any one could achieve and make anything happen just by saying it. The mindset was so clear and honest that all was possible and in spite of that also no one had any kind of selfishness, greed, Anger o Ego etc in them. All in all that was a time where all were so true and honest that they could make anything happen just by saying it. In this Yuga the people were very tall, around 33 ft and their average human lifespan was 100,000 years.

Then come the Treta Yuga, where the people started dominating and conquering the world. In this Yuga Selfishness, Ego, Greediness had slowly made place in the mind of some people. As a result the honesty and the humanity that prevailed during the Satya Yuga started declining which also resulted in their physical and mental behavior. During this Yuda the people were around 22 ft tall and their life span reduced to around 10,000 Years.







Then Dvapara Yuga came in to action, where inhumanity was it its pace which again resulted in reduction of physical stature and life span to around 11 ft tall and 1,000 Years respectively.

Then comes the climax Yuga that is the Kali Yuga, which was the worst of all as in this Yuga, Crime and Darkness ruled. People did not act like humans any more, they started eating forbidden and dirty food. The environment is polluted, water and food become scarce. Families become non-existent. People started killing and hurting other living beings for their own selfish desires. In this Yuga the physical stature and life span of humans reduced to around 5.5ft and maximum of 100 Years of age.



Now if we see all the Yugas we can clearly make out the most upstanding Yuga was the Satya Yuga. If we compare the people in Satya Yuga with other Yuga's people we will find them on the top, at a position of God as they were superior from the people of other Yugas and had supreme powers due to their supreme nature.

So as per their narration we are worshiping the people of Satya Yuga who we very superior to all the people from all other Yugas as they were the purest form of Human evolution.

Now coming to the 33 crore gods that has been depicted in the ancient Vedas, 
It is assumed that the 33 crore gods comprises of the entire living beings who were there in Satya Yuga, who were superior in all aspects. They include Humans, Plants, Animals, Birds, Fish etc. 

So if we see our world today, we can clearly see that we Humans have tried and have succeeded in bringing down and have destroyed other living beings who were once part of the 33 crore gods whom we worshiped and still worshiping in temples.

If we take a step back and look at the bigger picture we can see that we were indirectly worshiping the Mother Nature, which comprises of the Humans, Animals, Plants and other living beings who are also equally superior as humans in its own way. Now a time has come where the layer of  selfishness and inhumanity in our eyes has stopped us from seeing the God within other living beings moving around us and have started killing them and using them for our own inhuman selfish desires.

In order to restore our humanity we really do not need to visit Temple on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays. We just need to understand that there is a God hidden somewhere inside every living being and we need to respect and treat them like a supreme being and then go to Temple and show you gratitude.

I feel the world has taken a wrong turn and has lost its way and still thinks that we are on the right path and will reach the height and can come close to God one day. Which unfortunately is not going to happen as we have lost our way long back and it is very difficult to take a U turns and go back to the right path.

I can only urge to the people who are reading my blog to once close your eyes for a moment and try to see the god within all the living beings around us and try to respect them and free them and show your gratitude every time you see them. Then only we can make this world a better place to live in.
We are searching god in Temple, inside a stone, however not realizing that there is God everywhere in all the living beings we see around us, even in the form of kid the boy in the picture is holding. We have somewhere misunderstood the hidden message that was depicted in the ancient Scripts.

Conundrum of Life: "Divine Cow"

Conundrum of Life

I am no one to define what exactly life is all about, because I am too trying to understand what exactly life is?
Every single day I open my eyes in the morning with a hope that I will experience something new which might bring me close to understanding life better, unfortunately I collect some questions which makes me fall more deeper and deeper into it.
Till now I have at least understood, Life is not independent, some way or the other it depends on something or someone to bring it a meaning. Some say Life is Money, Some say Life is Freedom, Some one else say Life is Love.

If you ask me what is Life?
I would say its like a Ocean, when you are on the surface you will be running around for food, shelter and way to make yourself safe and secure so that you never drown.

But very few will try to ignore all material stuff and try to look inside the Ocean and try understand it, from which quite a few will gain courage to dive into the Ocean to understand it further. The more deep you dive the more you see and the more question arises which pulls you more further inside in the urge of finding the answers. Eventually at a point you will realize that, to survive you need Oxygen more than anything. Then you will start feeling every single heart beat of yours. And that is when you will start to understand, What Life is?

This is not at all a small topic to discuss, as I mentioned the more you try to understand the more you collect questions which will pull you towards it. There are lots of things happening around us daily which we simply ignore and move on with our life. Let us try understand it slowly and steadily.
I truly feel deep inside my heart that as we try to understand it we will get to know the real meaning of humanity and might give us a proper direction to live our life.

Let us try and understand it in parts, to start we have to choose a active topic, studying which will lead us to understand Life or might gain some meaningful questions,  which will help us understand it better.
I will be sharing my views and my understanding on my upcoming blogs, there will be a topic of discussion on my each blog and at the end there will be another topic which will lead you further...

Click on the below topic and take a step ahead to understand the conundrum of Life,

                                       * Conundrum of Life: "Moving Shrine"

Indian Slipping into "Anarchy"

We Indian say "Mera Bharat Mahan". Does it really means the same nowadays, as it  sounds "Mera Bharat Mahan".
This is a Country of pride and full of History. This is known as one of the colorful country for its colorful festivals, religion and people in it who live here in peace and harmony respecting and worshiping the Mother nature in form of Tree, River, Stone and Animal.

Is this nation the same what we have imagined it to be after getting huge success in field of Science and Technology? Are we anywhere even close to it?

The country is slipping in to Anarchy and we do not even care. we wake up, eat, work, Complain and sleep thinking tomorrow will be a better day, without we trying our half to bring a change. Humans today has increased exploiting other living animals for luxury, have started harming other humans for our selfish needs, anger and enjoyment. Humans are now behaving inhuman and we still call ourselves super beings. If we closely observe our behavior and actions you will find us all to be similar to a deadly Virus.
We are killing the forest, killing the innocent animals, polluting the water, polluting the air last but not the least we have now became a threat to our own lives. Nowadays people are afraid from people as we are turning into monsters.

In spite doing all these we proudly say "Mera Bharat Mahan". I know there are some who will think we have not done anything and why are we listening or reading this bullshit. I would say, exactly my point you all have done NOTHING that is why you all are also a part of this disaster. There are few people who do a lot of sacrifice and die making things right, I really respect them from my heart and I feel they are the only reason I still have a small hope that my Country will change one day. I am also trying to contribute something here through this blog. If at least one person could connect to what I am saying and brings the change within himself or herself then I will feel that I have achieved something.

People have completely lost their way, Here in India we worship almost all animals in Hindu religion believing them to be sacred in one way or the other. We even worship tree, river, stone etc. It is funny as well as sad to know that, ultimately we are the one who are killing them. One way we are worshiping them and other way we are killing them. where does the logic stands here and is this our correct devotion to the mother nature.

People are now killing Elephants, A number of Elephant killing news are coming up on daily basis, and we say we worship Lord Ganesha. Every year we wait eagerly for the Lord Ganesh Puja, we also celebrate and worship the Lord's sculpture with true heart and devotion.

Image Credits- Akkil Suvarna

But why is that every year after this ceremony I have find Lord's head, body and hands rolling around near river shore. Don't we realize that is the same God's sculpture we worshiped few days back. Where is the understanding gone, when we immerse them in the river overlooking the fact that, it pollutes the river water and kills thousands of marine life. Do you really think God would have wanted that?

There is another thing we might have come across and have often seen in movies that when there is any science and medical experiment or say making a vaccine for a deadly virus, there is an innocent animal like Rat, Monkey etc on which we try the experiment or vaccine just to check if that is working, risking their life.
Why not the dangerous criminals out there who have committed ruthless crimes like murder, rape etc?


Why risking the life of innocent animals who were never a part of any of these from the beginning.

If I start talking I can go on and on and this will not end. So I just want to ask 5 questions I have in mind to you people who are reading this blog,

1. Don't you think, human has crossed its limit and have started exploiting the nature more and more now a days for its own selfish desires?
2. Don't you think, all leaving creature should have equal or similar LAW enforced so that there will be a sense of equality, peace and harmony around us?
3. Is it necessary to test all the vaccine and medical experiment on innocent animals, rather than testing it on criminals who have tried spread negativity in the society, so that they could do something good for humanity?
4. Don't you think, we have turned us a deadly virus which this mother nature is fighting?
5. Don't you think, our current education system should incline more towards the nature and its existence?

If  we have answer to all these and could take a small initiative somewhere my any means and bring a small change at least then we can proudly say,
                                                                        "MERA BHARAT MAHAN"

Humanity Today

We the humans, call ourselves as most intelligent and powerful leaving being on Earth. Isn't it?

I am afraid I do not feel the same, as the days are passing and I come across the many news and incidents that makes me loose hope on humans and its so called "Humanity". Yes of course we are the one who have invented this novel word "Humanity" just to give ourselves a false hope that 'something good is still there within us'.

I bet most of us might not have noticed that we humans have been using and exploiting the mother nature and our fellow leaving beings for our own luxury and have not realized it at all. The more the Science and Technology is advancing, we humans are becoming more selfish and inhuman day by day. 

This gift of knowledge is now becoming curse for the mother Nature, which indirectly will destroy us all. We are spending lots and lots of money finding life in other planet so that we can move there when time comes but why aren't we looking after our own planet which itself is a paradise and is the best place. There are lots of solution we can workout if we take this seriously and act upon it all together as Humans.

There is a simple understanding, this planet is the base of our life and all other living beings are the pillars of this planet with some purpose assigned by mother Nature. If we protect this planet and the leaving beings around us, then only we can carry out our so called Economy. 

This pandemic has made us understood that this nature and the planet is the most important factor for us to live, which cannot be ignored at any cost. This planet has always kept everything balanced, in spite of us making it worse day by day satisfying our selfish needs. 

Everything has its limit and which I believe we have crossed, now it is time for the nature to react up  to make us realize about our true place. Which has already started with is pandemic and will not stop unless everything is balanced.

We humans have continuously exploited other animals like cows, pigs, goats etc for our own good.

They say 

"Cow gives us milk", have we ever tried to find out, "Is it us who forcefully takes milk from cows?" or "Is it the Cow who comes to us and offer us to milk it out without feeding its own baby (Calf)? "

"Is it the Chicken and Goat who deliberately come to us and offer us their flesh?"

"Is it the Birds and other animals come to us and ask us to cage them so that we can enjoy see them in the ZOO and pass our time in weekends and Holidays?"

I know that answer, Of Course not. That is we Selfish Humans who take the advantage of our power and make them our slave, our food and our source of Entertainment. 

Is it  really that necessary or we have deliberately overlooked the difference between a necessity and luxury.

It is high time for us to realize there should be a proper Law for them as well as they are also part o nature as we are. No more no less, we are just a part of Mother Nature and hence we should have a proper Law passed to keep the harmony and make proper balance in Nature. 

We should Stop treating other leaving being on this planet as a thing and stop exploiting them like we are doing now. If we Humans have a proper LAW to hold ourselves with in the boundary, then where should be and must be a proper LAW for other Living Beings living around us as well to make a balanced livelihood. 

If we can make this happen then we can proudly say that, we have advanced in Science and Technology and can pay this back to Mother Nature. And then only we can call us Human and that will be the best way to show our Humanity to the world. 

Past is gone, at lest we can start thinking differently from today and make a difference tomorrow, so that we can gift whole new world to our upcoming generation, where there will be peace and harmony and a balanced LAW for all.

At lest we can take this small step to make our long standing mistakes RIGHT.
