DANCE OF DEMOCRACY

Democracy in INDIA is about rule by Minority

• less than 50% vote
• of this multiparty party system ensures, of that 50% ,one who has secured maojority rules .
• IN multiparty system , percentage of votes polled by th candidate may not be even 20% of electorate .
• Yet he assumes power .
• Lets see an example
• a city has population of  20 lakhs
• four candidates compete
• 45% vote
• ie only 9 lakhs vote
• Candidate A gets 4 lakhs vote
• candidate B gets 4.5 lakhs
• C gets 30000
• rest by D
• B is elected .
• B actually has backing of only 20%
• What about other 20% , cant they have any representation of their needs ,
• NO , we do not have anything of that
• Though B has won only by a 2 % margin , an equivalent size of electoral votes is of no importance atleast for next 5 years
• A having gained such a sizeable backing is not considered
• HAD there been no D , then perhaps A would have got more lead than B
• This is of no significance in our dance .
• HAd there been a E then perhaps B would have lost
• This is also not considered .
• So a election is a toss , you can win it or lose it .
• There is nothing as mandate here . its pure LUCK .
• There could as well had been an elephant with a pitcher that would declare a winner . Still the result would be as predictable .
• Consider this :
• four cities P1 P2 P3 P4 P5
• consider two Parties A and B
• in P1 ,A gets 4 LAKHS VOTES B gets 5 lakhs
• P2 – A gets  2 lakhs B gets 1 lakh
• P3   A gets  5.5 lakhs b gets 6 lakhs
• P4   A gets 4 lakhs  B gets 2 lakhs
• P5 neither A wins 1 lakh or B 0.5 lakh but  C wins .
• Total in five cities  A has won 2 seats B has won 2 seats C 1
• A has polled 16.5 lakhs votes
• B has 14.5 lakhs
• C joins B and forms GOVT .
• Look A has more votes than B and C put together  , Yet It cannot rule .
• Where is the rule of MAJORITY !!!!!
• What about sizeable 7 lakhs which has no representation of their wants needs and ideas .
• Is it not sizeable .
• That means cant we have representation  according to  votes polled . also along with the winner and loser .
• After all if every VOte has to count then it has also to be represented as well .
• WHen there is no representation , and LUCK rules the ROOST , then why not accept KINGSHIP as fate . or why go at all to VOTE in anticipation that you may find few more like minded people and perhaps make a GOVT .
• Truly when you dont have RAJYOGA , You may not win a majority also perhaps.

Indriyajayasya Moolam Vinaya: | Vinayasya Moolam Vriddhopaseva

Indriya jaya is very important get fulfilled once wishes . It is also important to keep stable what we have achieved .It keeps people around us interested in us and as wellwishers.

How to achieve Indriya jaya . What is indriya jaya ?

Indriya jaya is control of one’s senses . Senses can they be brought under control ?

Mind should bring them under control . A calm and concentrated mind can bring the senses under control  .

How is this mind ?

Upanishats say Mind is akin to a monkey , which has drunk the alcohol of pride and upon that deeply stung by the scorpion named jealousy ,it runs hither thither without its own knowledge of mind and senses. Where come such a mind be brought under control . How ? Mind itself is irrestive with pride and jealousy ,how can it stay calm and concentrated . Senses follow the mind and its desire , mind immerses itself into senses and its pleasure.

So indriya jaya is very difficult. The only way one can begin is Vinaya [ humble attitude; humilty] only humble people can achieve great heights . Because they are not perturbed by the competition , they are confident of their capabilities and prepared for eventualities.

How is vinaya obtained ? Vinaya has its root in the service of the elders , Vridhdha.

There are three types vriddhas according to Shastra 1.Vayovriddha 2.Gnyana vriddha 3.Tapovriddha.

Vayo vriddha are those who are elder in age ,they should be respected and served .

Gnyana vriddha are those who have acquired immense knowledge ,these are also akin to old and elderly ,these should be served more so by the learned.

Tapo vridhdha are those who spend their lives in severe austerities ,these are also akin to old and elderly , they should be doubly served. Such attitude and inculcation of such values in ones life ensures vinaya and also Indriya jaya.

Thus kings took care of sages and rishis and snatakas [fresh graduates from gurukula ] to keep their senses under control with Vinay.

Rajya Moolam IndriyaJaya:

• Wealth is stable only when one is active in rule [avocation etc].
• For a King its rule and for ordinary people its avocation or [job or activity akin to birth and qualifications].
• To keep intact, unperturbed ones’ rule and power , one has to be in control of his senses. [Indriya jaya]
• Senses in control ensures steady growth of Dharma,
• it gives control of the mind and control of mind gives control over masses [praja] .
• Such control enables a king to establish rule of Law
• Such control ensures proper tax collection
• Such control ensures collision free trade and commerce.
• Such control ensures a fear in the minds of subject
• such control induces a respect towards ruler.

When ruler loses his control of senses:

• He indulges in vices
• His advisors will shy away from telling him truth
• His advisors will aid his indulgence [worst still only such indolent will be advisors ]
• Indulgence breeds corruption
• Corruptions disturb rule of Law
• Disturbed rule of law breaks the flow of economy
• Broken economy breeds hatred and Mutiny
• Mutiny destroys the Kingdom

Thus Indriya jaya is of prime importance to a wealthy life. A wealthy life ensures indelivering Dharma .Dharma ensures peace and prosperity and happiness.

Arthasya Moolam Rajyam

Good financial stability comes from well established rule of LAW. Rule of Law is very important for a state , if a state is missing stable rule of law then people there will not have faith in the King. Such people will take law unto themselves and state will be in a state of jungle law[might is right] . Thus prosperity will take a big hit , people will spend most of the time in saving their belongings from getting lost/looted or taken away through deciet ,force and lack of LAW. such a state of affairs is known as ARAJKTA .[kingless; authorityless] . Such countries do not grow .

Also where there is no rule of LAW , air ,water ,earth ,fire ,space all get polluted , they do not allow prosperity .[This is known as heavens don't bestow grace ] it rains scantily , earth gives poor yield, fire erupts to destroy, rivers dry , they don’t give ample support to civilization.

Where there is a strong rule of law , it rains properly , city looks beautiful ,prosperity is bestowed by INDRA.

Today our country is lacking in rule of law thus our cities towns are dusty , barren and graceless. Even though we are a religious nation. The irreligious nations have better rule of LAW , thus Heavens have graced them with prosperity.

Thus Artha can be amassed only through surajya.

Dharmasya Moolam Artha:

To carry out a living in accordance with the Dharma , one needs artha[money ,food,objects of desire,clothes ,and other household articles].Without these dharma cannot be adhered to. Sometimes people like Dronacharya etc resorted to shilonchsvritti [living without asking /begging or taking anything from others] . People observing such complete aparigraha vrata, can eat or support their family by collecting grains left over after cleansing the field. But eventually Drona had to give up this vrata and join royal service as teacher.

Thus even for greats dharma cannot be adhered to without having artha[money].Money forms the basis of all exchanges in the world. Thus one must know how to earn money according to dharma to support dharma of the self. Dharma requires money but dharma cannot be upheld by earning through adharmic means. That means dharma has its moola in satvik artha only,that which has been earned by permissible means. the money thus earned should be employed for dharma which in turns ensures sukha. Money does not directly ensures the sukha but has the intermediary known as dharma.

So a king must know arthashastra to employ the artha towards dharma only.

Sukhasya moolam Dharma:

Beginning from today ,this blog will run a series on Neeti shastra.

Man (an average man ) always attributes his success to his own efforts.When struck with failures finds reasons other than his efforts.But on the whole every man looks to maximize his pleasure.When one enjoys good days ,not for a moment does one stop and ponder what was that ,that is making me enjoy. What is the cause of happiness? everytime we are happy we think we have created it for ourselves .And we want it to be constant. Life suggests contrary .nothing is permanent. But to cross over the ocean of this world and we need knowledge. happiness cannot be had by merely being alone. It is an interactive process,interaction involves several communication aides and first step in learning these begins with a lesson in Neeti shastras.

The first aphorism of Neeti shastra is Happiness has its root in Dharma.

Only dharma brings happiness and nothing else. hence one should try his best to adhere to Dharma.Dharma gives a means to the understanding of Papa and punya. Papa is that which brings unhappiness and punya is that which brings happiness. Further punya is which is in the larger interest of people and papa is one which troubles the society.

Dharma alone brings joy, because today’s happiness was as a result of yesterlife’s  punya.Dharma is different for different people in different regions.Dharma of one region cannot be applied to dharma of the other. Dharma of one person need not be applicable to the others. Hence one must adhere to the dharma of the land one dwells in.

For general happiness of the subject ,a king must try to establish Dharma in his land. He must take adequate measures to oversee that dharma is followed in his kingdom. If Dharma is not followed ,soon anarchy will seige the land and people will perish from their values and the place of dwelling will be akin to hell. Hence a King must know Dharma and its importance through Neeti shastra.

Authors of neeti shastra are Bramha, Garuda, siva,Brahaspati, Narad,etc.Matsya purana ,garuda purana are full of neeti . Shukracharya and Vidura have elaborated these for the benefit of mankind. Vishnugupta  and bratruhari have compiled these into readable volumes.

As there is sadneeti represented by Vidura ,so also exists Kalinga neeti followed by Shakuni. which prescribes the opposite. Much of modern polity is outcome of shakuni neeti. One must struggle to keep one’s mind free from such shastra and constantly make attempt to live life along the lines of Vidur neeti.

The business of terror

Youth  gains notoriety as a basher , shooter ,terminator etc , next he gets a promotion to eliminate key personnel, only money is his motive . With a new found confidence ,and  wealth he expands his territory of operation.Now he is in a position to settle business disputes , again motivation is money.

He has earned enough ,but he wants more ,now he can take up an assignment to plan an anti social operation,again motivation is money , but now his masters are enemies of the nation. But his old nexus is still ripe , together he forms a great security threat.But he goes unnoticed.

media paints a negative hero image ,it carries his image next to every carnage , whether done or not, they create a hype of his personality .And nobody mourns the day he is slain by a street smart lad with a blade or chopper just because destiny betrayed him.

but the befitting death would be in the lanes of your city , by a bunch of patriot lawkeepers ,reducing one to just a lump of mortal mass void hype of yore,for all to see .

enemies of the nation wants to destabilize the nation, war would be the agenda at some point of time .The powerful nations keep others at war to keep them disintegrated and subordinated. Hence plans of anti social nature do keep making rounds .they are financed , terrorism is outsourced to petty criminals. This will remain as it is , as it has been for ages. The effectiveness lies in neutralizing these activities . Nip them in the bud through sharp intelligence. Intelligence means to safeguard your own secrets and expose others’. But when you have allowed the whole world’s intelligence (fbi ,australian ,british,israel,now ISI offers joint probe too) where are your secrets left. They are here to keep a check on you that you don’t wage a war on pakistan. Your movements are restricted guided and influenced. If you don’t take a swift action that too concrete , we will be reduced to a nation of meek and feeble minded , taking everything into our stride , well put up another cheek when slapped brazenly in your face.

Bhais Ki Chamadi

Once i thought all politicians were clever to judge peoples sentiments.But this time pulse went amiss, One reaches for disaster tourism with actor son, and producer .The other comes up with  a bollywood dialogue , “bade bade shaharon me choti choti bate hoti rahti hai” ,Both lose their seats , resign . What makes them insensitive,did they misread the pulse , When everyone in India has come to a conclusion, enough is enough , what made these clowns not figure it.Blame it on intelligence , no!

Somewhere these had the inklings of the incidents,somewhere it smells of the plan gone wrong, somewhere a game has been offset by higher demons of global terror.Sure just two three men could not have held NSG for 60 hours.Sure two three could not have barged in to hotel with ammunition lasting three days , worst still carried from a boat to Taj in just few hours. Taj is certainly not a place where you can enter with bags of ammunition through main gate unobstructed without raising alarms.

Just three people cannot have raged a twenty three plus storied building in a day , simultaneously fighting 100s of marines. Finally when some were raging hotels ,how few others were waiting for just officers to arrive and get killed on roads , one is captured by whom, and how, if he could be caught , why not others, Who were those who caught one. if he has given details , why details don’t tally and did not give assessment of spot TAJ.

if it was a terror group what have they achieved , motive is unclear .

but TAJ ,TATA, Govt,earlier allies,NANO ,BENGAL,Terror, China ,Pakistan,underworld ,sleeping ministers ,blaming HINDU Terror ,showing terrorist wearing red strings on Hand , all have some common enemy, common motive.Playing politics with terror.
