Victory to Bhaarath, the amazingland of lakhs of people. AsGurajaada once said “Desamantematti kaadoy,desamante manushuloy”, a nationis reflected through its people. We,Indians need to be proud that weare born in this wonderful countryof diverse cultures and traditions.

Those people, who are fromthe land of Bhaarath areblessed with fortune greaterthan immortality. Thepeople of the Heaven singthis song because Bharaathis the culmination of bothHeavenliness andLiberation. We all have beenhearing since ages thatBharath is the land of Karma. A small good karma done, here in this Divine land will give avery big fortune. All the ancient Indians praised Bharath for the land it has been.Poonthanam, a great Malayalam Poet explains the same in his Jnanappana.

We are veryfortunate to havetaken birth asIndians. We areall flowersspirited withvibrant scentsfloating in thebreeze calledIndia. India is theonly countryhaving varianceof all sorts, but inmidst of this variance is the motto of Unity. She is the one, who taught the World,“Vasudhaiva kutumbakam” and “Lokaa samasthaas sukhino bhavanthu”. We are allindebted to this wonder woman of beauty, elegance and Wisdom.Dwijendralal Roy, a contemporary of Ravindranath Tagore in his song “Dhano Dhaanyapushpa bhora” beautifully carved out the greatness and splendour of India.He says, “The Earth is rich with food grains and flowers, and my motherland is on thisboundless Earth. My dream is realized on my motherland with its rivers and mountains.You won't find such a nationanywhere else and that nation is my motherland, the Empress of all nations”.In the further lines he depicts the greatness of India, “My motherland is the most beautifulcountry for me. I was born in this country; I would like to die here.” Another instance fromthe song- “Where shall we get such love of mothers?” is just enough to show the majestyand grandeur of her and her people.

Many brightpeople withexuberantminds haveinspired theworld withtheir words.Ta gore’s musicalworks portray the nation’s literary wealth. The song He Nutan gives a glimpse into Indianoptimism.“Through life’s holy primal hour and with the mist torn, let the Sun be your manifestation. O NewOne, reappear. From the midst of inane, your victory is over its bane.”

Swami Vivekananda's speech at the parliament of religions proves the Joy that we are. Bharathiar'ssongs are a revolution to young minds. The song “Oli Padaitta Kanninai vaa vaa” asks YoungIndians to arise for the nation-- “Young Bharatha come, come, come .Unmatched vigour your holdcome, come, come.You’re waiting to rise in rayless land. And like the rising sun come, come, come.”Gandhiji's favourite song reminds us of our responsibilities. The one who understands the pain andagony of others is Divine. Treating our neighbours with respect and helping the needy areemphasized in thedivine Gujarati song.

India is the country that teaches the world about Universal acceptance and Universal brotherhood.Since the Vedic times, she has been the cradle for Oneness.

We, in this modern era are speakingabout Tolerance. Tolerance is forsomething that we don't like. Our culturespeaks not about Tolerance but aboutLove, the Universal Divinity every beingis. We should start moving fromTolerance to Love. That is true Indianism.

Each one of us at some or other point hadwondered about the very existence of life onour planet. The same idea can lead to a muchmore interesting question. How did thisuniverse come into existence in the first place?Well, the answer is not quite ready yet, but wecould be able to find out.Scientists from various countries are trying tofind answers to the toughest questions beingasked about our universe. The findings can bequite astonishing. Many theories have beenand are being written about the birth of theuniverse. We have learnt that the universe wasborn as a result of a really big explosion, wecall the BIG BANG. What is this Big Bang andhow did it even happen.According to Werner Heisenberg, the velocityand position of a subatomic particle like an

electron cannot be measured precisely at anygiven point. This statement is quite easy toremember and reproduce in the examinationpapers, isn’t it? Well, that is what I did when inschool. But, I will have to admit that I really didnot understand what the great scientistactually meant when he said that.Scientists have made assumptions based onthis famous Heisenberg’s UncertaintyPrinciple. They have come to a conclusion thata particle such as an electron can actually existin two or more different locations at the sametime. It is believed that if certain phenomenaare possible in the quantum level of matter,then similar phenomena are possible in everyother level.

Origin of theUniverse

Suresh Sistla

One of the greatest physicists of all time, Albert Einstein wasworking on a theory that was called The Theory of Everything.This was supposed to be a theory that fully explains and linkstogether all known physical phenomena. However, manyother physicists have tried to come up with such a theory overthe last century, but none would be considered to becomplete or experimentally correct, as each theory wouldcontradict with another.

Having said that, scientists today believe that if a small particle like the electron can exist inmultiple locations at the same time, then so can we humans, all matter in our solar system, andfinally our universe.This idea introduces the term Multiverse, because scientists now believe that there are multipleuniverses and not just one. They also believe that these universes can be replicas of each other. Ifthis is a reality, then there are many universes that are replicas of each other, and every universewill have an exact replica of you and me. The Big Bang happened once, and so it can happenagain. In fact, there could be Big Bangs happening out there right this moment. It is difficult forus to see because we are too far away from them. The structure of space is unknown to us, butthere has been a change in the way scientists look at it. The universe can be never-ending andever-expanding. But now the question is, if space is ever-expanding, then how these universescould be placed. It is said that these universes are parallel to each other, and hence the termParallel Universes. The theory is now called as Membrane Theory, because it is believed thatthese universes are actually part of a membrane like structure. And many such membranes areplaced parallel to each other. These membranes are close to each other and they keep wavinglike pieces of cloth. Whenever these membranes touch each other, there is a huge amount ofenergy that is released. We cannot see these membranes, because we are in a differentdimension than them. This theory so far has proposed a possible existence of 11 dimensions. Thereason why we cannot see the other universes could be that we are in a different dimension thanthat of the other universes, which limits our view.This article talks only about the general ideas of this study, and there is lot more to it.

It's yourcall

All of us, at some point or the other feel likerushing towards the person and kicking himout of the train while travelling long distance,when the silence of the night gets shattered,when our blissful sleep lullabied by thethudding sound of the train gets interruptedand suddenly we realize that the culprit isnone other than the loud piercing noise of thering tone of another passenger’s cell phone.Mobile phones have become so rampant intoday’s world that one feels helpless, when herealizes that he has forgotten it at home. Wehave become so used to it that our life seemsalmost impossible without it. It has got intoour system in such a way that we almost feelcrippled in its absence. We have become sodependent on this little piece of technologythat it too has become an essential part of ourwork-a-day life.In the days of yore, how our parents, grandparents and great grand parents et al used tospend their evenings in the nukkad(thesurrounding), playing with friends, climbingtrees and plucking fruits, roaming in thegreeneries, hopping on the playground,running after butterflies and so on……Butnow-a-days, we can easily witness school kidsSMSing( thanks to ‘free SMS’ offers by serviceproviders), calling up friends informing themthat they had sent them a funny SMS orplaying games on the phone! What hashappened to the age of scrabble, running andcatching, kho-kho, bicycle races and sandcastles after school? It is a pity to see thebeauty of childhood being snatched away thisway. This has lead to children growing up in a

precocious manner.Barbie dolls and toy cars no longer occupy theprime position at the bedside. That has longbeen conquered by the mobile phone whichhas replaced bedtime stories and dreams.Lego toys, Sherlock Holmes novels, knittingand embroidery seem to be passé as smartphones have crept in. What a pity to seeyoung minds flipping away idly! It is aneyesore to see children playing football,soccer or cricket virtually instead of engagingin the game in the real world.The other day, I went to a wedding and I feltreally sad to witness the sight where,relatives of the couple coming onto the daishandling on their phones to the newly wedinforming them that their cousins from USwant to wish them. No matter what, evenpriest has to stop chanting the mantras andwait for the conversation to finish. Thewedding hall these days reverberates withringtones from different mobile phones, eachhumming to its own glory unmindful of thesanctity of the proceedings. Long back therewere disputes if the muhuratam was delayeddue to some reasons. But now, even thepriests are busy answering phones in themidst of the rituals.I find it strange that at the workplace peopledo not bother to turn their mobile phonesinto ‘silent' or ‘vibrate' mode. Meetings areusually interrupted when one of the

attendees' phones starts blaring out andthen the attendee sheepishly mumbles a,“sorry,” and switches off the phone. Whatsort of ‘productivity' are we talking aboutwhen employees spend their time chatting,SMSing or even switching off their phone?Lets talk about, ROAD SAFETY. It’s a verycommon thing to see that people drive withone hand on the steering and the otherholding the phone. Nowadays, safety doesnot depend upon on how carefully onedrives but it depends upon how the othersdrive on the road. Signals offer plenty ofopportunity to quickly type an SMS. Handsfree systems and Bluetooth technologieshave crept in and offer solace to drivers tostay connected even while on the move. But,at what cost? Is it not our responsibility tobe judicious in our usage?We all live a life in the rut today. With thefast paced world and busy life schedule,though we have time to talk to somebodyover the phone, we don’t have time to talk toour own family members. Couples who liveunder the same roof hardly eat dinnertogether or hardly even see each other. Verystrange !We, time and again witness tempting ads ofmobile phones, like WALK and TALK, andSTAY CONNECTED. But have we ever askedourselves, are we really following the roadsafety or are we really staying connectedwith the advent of the so called fastdeveloping technology?In this too-busy-to-listen world, we are busyanswering the cell phones, checkingblackberries, and text messaging….We are sobusy communicating that we fail tocommunicate. We confuse communicatingwith understanding and silence withlistening.

Have we ever asked ourselves, how many ofus convey birthday, wedding wishes on thephone and fail to attend the function? In asocial gathering, how many people canactually walk up to strangers and strike up aconversation rather than flipping throughtheir mobile phones to act busy? Are we soself-indulgent that we have forgotten to besensitive towards others?Mobile phone technology has indeedchanged the way we communicate andconnect with people. While the pros aremany, it is high time we exercised a civicsense and a responsible attitude towards itsusage for, freedom without responsibilitycan have consequences unasked for.And let’s think at least once, DO WE HAVETO REMAIN CONNECTED AT THE COST OFDISTRESSING SOMEONE?

India as we all call her today was called as Bharata desa or Hindusthaanam. The wordHindusthaanam is a very special word which glorifies the greatness of our nation.Hindusthaanam means 'the place of the Hindus' and Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life.Hindus are the people who abide by the laws of Nature or the Sanaatana Dharma. Anyone is aHindu, who realizes the all pervading self and follows the Sanatana dharma. A small quadrupletthat gives a small glimpse into the Sanatana dharma is worthwhile to be quoted.These four lines convey the message of the Vedas. Speak the Truth, speak pleasant words.Words that are true but unpleasant to be heard should not be spoken (Speak the Truthpleasantly, in an agreeable manner). Donot speak something which is against the Law. The law,here is stated as Rta. Rta is the principle of natural order which regulates and coordinates theoperation of the universe and everything within it. So, Hindus are the people who follow thislaw that guides the nature.

The quadruplet mentioned is an elaborated version of the Vedic statement- SatyamevaJayate.Truth alone triumphs; not falsehood. Through truth the divine path is spread out by which

the sages whose desires have been completely fulfilled, reach where that supreme treasureof Truth resides.In the earlier day texts, there is no mention of the word 'Hindu'. It is said that, the peoplefrom the west while travelling to our nation came across the river Sindhu and hence thename Hindu. Though there are no references to this word in the Vedic texts, this word isused frequently as it has been mentioned in the other texts that blossomed after the VedicEra.

In the puranic era, the word Hindu became a household name. The ancient textBaarhaspathya shaastram confirms that the people living in the region that starts from theHimalayas and ends in the Indu sarovaram (The Indian Ocean) is the land of the Hindus. Italso gives a clue about the formation of the word Hindu. One can easily understand that theword Hindu might have been formed from 'Him' in the word Himalayas and 'du' in the wordIndu.

It is well known that our nation is called Bhaarata desam. The word bharaata in thecontext of our nation has its mention in this Shastra of Brihaspathi.Bhaarat is the name of country situated to the north of the sea and south of theHimalayas and its progeny is known as Bharati.

The word hindu also has a reference in the Meru Tantra as “heenani gunaanidushyanthi iti hindu”. Hindu is the one who conquers all the inferior qualities (heenanigunaani) of anger, arrogance, greed, Jealousy, lust etc. If one is a continuous blossoming ofLove and has only noble qualities of courage, expansiveness, non-violence, and follows theLaw of Nature; then he is a Hindu. So, anyone is a hindu, who abides by the dharma. Hindusare not just the worshippers of Idols, more than that the worshippers of the Truth (Divinityor Love) in everything they see. Ancient India worshipped the Divine in the form of Idols.Idol worship was considered as the starting platform for the one who wishes to move ahead

in Spirituality.Every creature living or non-living isthe manifestation of the Divine. So, all thatexists is the projection of the Divine. Evena stone is worthy of worship as it is a giftfrom the Divine. So, while worshipping,the ancient Indians kept in mind, theDivine Omnipresence that there is no placedevoid of God. This is the suferficial levelof understanding.The second level of understanding isthrough symbolizing. Every religion has itsown symbols. For example the followers ofthe Love of Christ consider the Cross assomething special. The Islam has a specialrelationship with the Crescent moon. Inthe same way the ancient Indianssymbolized the Divine Unmanisfest assomething understandable andcomprehensible, thoughincomprehensible.We all usually see idols having manyhands (usually four). This signifies thatthere is something in the Universe that ismore powerful (omnipotence). Each handis shown holding instruments. Let us takethe idol of Vishnu. Vishnu is shownholding a conch (sankha), a discus(chakra), a mace (gada) and a lotus. Eachrepresents a primary element. The discusreperesents the fire element, the conchthe water element, the mace the Earthelement and the lotus the air element. Thefifth element is the Infinite space. This isrepresented as the blue body of the Divine.The message of the idol is simple. The fiveelements because of which life is possibleand sustained are to be revered.There is another interpretation in theGopala uttartapani Upanishad. The lowerright hand represents the revolving orcreative tendency which holds the conch,symbol of the five elements. The upper

right hand represents the cohesivetendency which holds the discus, shininglike an infant sun, symbol of the mind. Theupper left hand, represents the tendencytowards dispersion and liberation, whichholds the lotus, symbol of the causalpower of illusion, from which the universerises. The lower left hand, whichrepresents the notion of individualexistence, holds the mace, symbol ofprimeval knowledge.Vishnu is usually seen reclining onSesha, the Serpent that floats in theKsheerasagara, the ocean of milk. Thehoods of the serpant represent the fivesensory pleasures. The Lord reclining onthe Serpant symbolizes that one shouldhave control over his senses. The Lord isshown floating in the Ocean of milk. TheOcean of milk represents UniversalConsciousness, that is omnipresent. It isonly knowledge. So, one should dawn inthis Ocean of Infinity.There is another story- the Lord danceson the hoods of a vicious serpent. Theserpent represents the nervous system(spinal cord and brain) which is the basisfor all energy. Krishna is shown dancingon the serpant. This dance symbolizesthat one should channelize his energythrough Knowledge (Krishna), so that hewill experience the Self that is pervadingeverywhere and will become the Self.Annamacharya, a great Telugu poet andcomposer mentions the Same in his AdivoAlladivo Song -“padivela sheshula padagala mayamu”

After conquering the 10000 hoods ofSesha, one attains the Divine. This meansafter regulating the inner energy oneattains Bliss and becomes Bliss. In theyogic practices kundalini shakti has aprominance. There is only one energy. If it

is at the bottommost level or nodal intersection, it is either creative or pro-creative. If it is atthe heart it is either love or anger, if it still goes up it becomes the only one- Bliss. Ourancient family propagated this philosophy and brought it down to the common people in theform of poems and songs.They have diversified in their symbols, as spirit loves diversity. Creation is full bright withdiversity. Energy or Shakti is considered as a feminine aspect and the Unmanifest Divine isportrayed in this diversified form as a beautiful loving and caring mother. The scripturesdepict the Unmanifest, having no attributes as Manifest having infinite good attributes andqualities. The Ramayana, the puranas go in this direction.The Divine mother is shown holding in her four hands four symbolic forms- anoose(paasha), representing love and energy; a goad(ankusha), the energy controlling andchannelizing tool that can restrain all the evil tendencies ; a sugercane bow representing themind and a set of five arrows representing the five Tanmatras (Subtle elements). Even theDivine Ganesha form also holds paasha and ankusha representing the same. Ganesha alsosymbolizes acute listening, listening with comprehension.

Adi Shankara, the greatest proponent of sanatana vaidika dharma, who worshipped theDivine Unmanisfest as Unmanifest itself, who realized the Truth -“I am Divine” alsoworshipped the Divine as Manifest in many forms. One of them is Sharadaa. Sharaada holdsthe scriptures depicting dharma. She also holds a golden vessel containing Madhu, a parrotand a rosary embodying wealth(artha), desire(kama) and liberation(moksha). The desire ofearning money and gaining possessions should be according to dharma that leads toliberation.We are all very fortunate to have born in this nation of diversity in unity and unity indiversity. Let it be called Bhaarata desa or Hindusthan or India, we, her children should growinto True Bhaarati (Indian).

Generally, when we meet someone for the firsttime, we develop an impression upon them. Itmay be a feeling of hatred, affection, irritation,respect, sympathy etc. Sometimes it may be lovelike in the case of ‘love at first sight’ or the otherperson may look like our sibling (either brotheror sister). Sometimes the other person may alsolook like our Dad or Mom or any elderly personin our family. The next time we meet them, we infact interact with the impression we havedeveloped on them but not with the personactually. If you do not believe me, check it out inyour interactions with people.

But as days go on, relationships woulddevelop and slowly these impressions would paleup. In fact these impressions are replaced withopinions. There is never a danger with theimpressions but there is always a danger withthe opinions. The reason I say this statement isthat impressions last only to the extent where arelationship does not start developing. Once arelationship starts developing between twopeople, many kinds of opinions would take birth.The opinions may be good or bad. The goodnessor badness of these opinions mainly depends onthe way we understand people. In some cases wemay start up a relation with a very badimpression but end up with a good opinion onthe other person and vice versa.

It is always a welcome sign to develop a goodopinion on someone. But the real problem lies inthe case where even fantastic first impressionsare turned down into bad opinions. In situationsof this kind anger plays a vital role. One should

know the ways to control one’s anger. Angerwould lead to misunderstandings.Misunderstandings would always mislead ourthought process and would make us take awrong decision. This is the reason why manylovers broke up their relationships. This is thereason why wed couples would take a stand fordivorce. These days we often see newlywedcouples urging for divorce even before theycelebrate their first wedding anniversary.

Opinions are personal, I agree. But, thisstatement depends on the type of relationship.For example, someone’s first impression onIndian cricket team may be great but later onafter watching a few matches the one may opinethat the team is not good. Or he/she may alsoopine that cricket is a bad game. This makes noharm to their life. But when it is the case of twopeople one on one especially partners (be themin life or in business), things would not movesmoothly with such bad opinions. Of course thebad opinions developed may be correct! Mypoint is that when we are deciding uponsomeone to be bad we should see that there areno misunderstandings and the decision is nottaken in anger. Our anger would result in theanguish of others !

Reflection cannot be seen in boiling water. Inthe same way truth cannot be seen in a state ofanger. Hence analyze before you finalizeanything. If you can fill the unforgettable minutewith 60 seconds of distance travelled, yours willbe the earth and everything on it !
