Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated me."
 - Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), philosopher and writer
 Maharshi Vishvamitra was one of the greatest Vedic sages, as he gave us one of Hindu Dharma's most important prayers, the Gayatri Mantra:
ॐ भूर्भुवःस्वः
 तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि ।
 धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ।।
"OM Earth (Bhuh), Atmosphere (Bhuvah) and Light (Svah) ---
We meditate on the choicest luminosity of the Divine Nourisher.
 May he inspire our thoughts."
 Gayatri is the Mother of the Vedas, the Mother of all Wisdom and Insight. She has brought the wisdom of the Vedas to the entire world.
 Sanatana Dharma in Switzerland: On 1st of January 2016, a Maha-Gayatri-Homa was performed at Omkarananda Ashram Switzerland to inaugurate the Board of Hindu Dharma to represent the interests of all people following Sanatana Dharma in that small country.

What is the reality of Hinduism? Did all the 33 crores Gods ever exist?
’33 Crore Gods’ is a completely misinterpreted fact due to wrong translation of Vedic Sanskrit by certain foreign 'scholars'.
 The term ‘trayastrimsati koti’ mentioned in Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda, and Satapatha-brahmana, is rightly translated as 33 Gods.
The term koti in Sanskrit has two meaning, one is ‘type’ and the other is Crore.
 So, somewhere in translation, they missed the basic fact that Sanatana Dharma/Hinduism has 33 Supreme Gods and not 33 Crore Gods.
 According to Vedas there are 33 Gods/Devas. These Gods are separated in the following pattern : 12 + 11 + 8 + 2.
 12 is the number of Adityas, 11 are the number of Rudras, 8 is the number of Vasus, 1 is Prajapati, the Master of Gods, and 1 is the Supreme Ruler who is very powerful.
Names of all 33 Vedic deities:
12 Adityas (personified deities) correspond to the 12 Solar months and represent different attributes of social life. The Vedic sages especially venerated the Adityas and Vedas are full of hymns dedicated to Indra, Agni, Surya, Varun and the like. These are:
1. Indra/Shakra (eldest and the undoubted leader of other Adityas)
 2. Ansh (due share),
 3. Aryaman (nobility),
 4. Bhaag (due inheritance),
 5. Dhatri (ritual skill),
 6. Tvashtar (skill in crafting),
 7. Mitra (friendship),
 8. Pushan/Ravi (prosperity),
 9. Savitra/Parjanya (power of word),
 10. Surya/Vivasvan (social law),
 11. Varun (fate),
 12. Vaman (cosmic law).
8 Vasus are attendant deities of Indra and comprise of eight elemental gods that represent the different aspects of Nature. They are:
 1. Anil (Wind),
 2. Apas (Water),
 3. Antariksh/Dyaus (Space),
 4. Dhara (Earth),
 5. Dhruv (Pole Star),
 6. Anal (Fire),
 7. Prabhas (Dawn),
 8. Soma (Moon).
11 Rudras:
 ·
 5 abstractions – Ānanda (bliss), Vijñāna (knowledge), Manas (thought), Prāṇa (breath/ life), Vāc (speech),.
5 names of Śiva – Īśāna (ruler), Tatpuruṣa (that person), Aghora (not terrible), Vāmadeva (pleasant god), Sadyojāta (born at once)
 ·
 1 - Ātmā (spiritual self)
In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the 11 Rudras are represented by ten vital energies (rudra-prana) in the body and the eleventh one being the Ātman (the soul):
 katame rudrA iti |
 dasheme purushhe prANA
 AtmaikAdashas
 te yadA.asmAchchharIrAnmartyAdutkrAmanty
 atha rodayanti
 tadyadrodayanti
 tasmAdrudrA iti || 4 ||
‘Which are the Rudras ?’ ‘The ten organs in the human body, with the prana as the tenth and the atma as the eleventh. When they depart from this mortal body, they make (one’s relatives) weep. Because they then make them weep, therefore they are called Rudras.’
Sources:- Rig Veda, Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda, and Part 9 of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad where Sage Yajnavalkya is questioned by Sage Sakalya.
- Brihadaranyaka Upanishad III-ix-4: ‘

what do I mean when I say I am Hindu.
Hinduism has always been a beautiful version of living life than being a religion. It is the most tolerant among all religions. Practicing it has never been a compulsory. You can choose what you want to follow. A religion being followed by a billion people with million gods. You can choose which God you want to follow.
it has never threatened anyone to follow it. Neither I see that it will be threatened by any other religions. India has always been a Hindu nation and will always be. 200 years of Muslim rule or that of Christian (British) could change that.
but what I fear now is when I see fringe lunatic group's trying to be caretaker of Hinduism. They are creating bad name for the religion. I would like to tell them please let religion and our God's on its own. They don't need your protection to prosper. Hinduism will always be the main religion of India.

india needs an revolution

Time is ripe now. with all the things happening in the middle east (egypt), its time for india's youth to grab and start a revolution to set things right. there is a current flowing now, which if channelized properly can be used for good. corruption, scams, inept government and finally killing people who are fighting against corruption these are all the evils that is plaguing our country. a leader has to stand up and be counted.

back to civilization

feeling good to be back into the civilization. remained cut off from everything for last 8-9 months. life has been a hell. but i am back.

What next for BJP?

Well when crisis comes it comes from every corner. That is the situation that BJP is facing now. Defeat in election, Jinnah contoversy, and now everyday bickering among senior leaders was the last straw the BJP needed right now. Mr. Advani may be scratching his hairs right now. To retire actively form politics after election would have been right decision. but now he has to set his house (party) in order now. to sever ties with RSS is right or not is the million dollar question.

Road ahead for BJP

Why did BJP lose the election? It’s a million dollar question and it seems no one has a clear answer to it. Well I had on my earlier blog on April 13 warned Shri L.K.Advani of being a little too over-confident and how his electioneering is going wrong. And I think I had then analysed it correctly. The BJP has been beaten fairly well and square in this election. And I think they should not think that they have been defeated. The people of India has laid its faith on the ruling party. Its time for re-building, reviving the party. The party faithful are looking towards its leader for a generational change in the party. A leader who can take the party forward, spell out its vision – both for the party and for the country – loud and clear. This is what we were lacking till now. A vision. The party should try to make this clear from now, not just before the election.
Its time also for removing the weeds in the party. Remove all the corrupted souls who had joined the party just before the election in order to regain power. The BJP was a party of difference and it should remain so. The party’s leaders should be from its own cadre who has been ideologically inspired to join the party and who have served the party.
There is more to write and advice. I hope my beloved party regain it sense and stand up once again for the country or else……
