I was unaware of your existence on this planet earth till I read your bold and strong statement advocating pre-marital sex. You might be goddess for the Tamil people but were a stranger for the rest of the Indians. But your statement has made you a household name in each and every corner of the country. I see newspapers (especially English) singing your glories, all the youngsters especially Hinglish educated boys and girls who want to take India to the 21st century (do not worry if they do not know the composer of Vande Matram) have started considering you as their messiah because they believe that such kinds of vichardhara can only make their BELOVED COUNTRY a modern country. People who are now in their 50’s or 60’s are cursing God that why He send you so late in this world. Such modern old people do not want their children to suffer as they suffered in their young age. I heard that some people threw chappals on you. Seeing this tears started coming out of your eyes. Was it out of joy or was it because of some infection in the eye? Please clarify. Your followers are having sleepless nights because of this. I have also heard that you are facing a lot of opposition from certain not so broadminded people. But do not worry. Every great personality has faced it in their lives. Remember Ghandhiji. How much he was humiliated. In South Africa he was continuously slapped by one British officer. He was also thrown out of a train. But he never gave up; he fought back and finally threw the Britishers out of the country. So my request to you is never give up whatever might be the situation. Remember efforts releases its result when a person refuses to quit. So press on and continue. You will definitely change the country’s fate. Your statement “An educated male should not expect his wife to be a virgin” contains lots of hidden meanings. To understand this lot amount of introspection is required. I feel that you meant to say that the moment a husband gives up his expectation of having a virgin wife rape will cease to be a matter of concern for the Indian women. Today women are afraid as they feel that once they lose their virginity they won’t be accepted in the society. But the moment the people’s outlook changes rape will no longer be a major issue in our country. Girls of all ages will feel completely independent and secure. They will be able to move on the streets without any fear. As far as the greatness of our Indian culture and tradition is concerned, do not worry too much about it. First of all there is nothing so great about our culture and tradition. How can a culture be great, which prohibits a male and a female to freely have sex on the street? Even species like cats, dogs and hogs are having sex on the street without any social objections and legal hurdles. So why deny humans this opportunity who are far more superior than the animals. I fully support your mission of making India a modern country filled with broad-minded people. Ghandhiji is called the FATHER OF THE NATION. I request the countrymen to designate you as the MOTHER OF THE MODERN NATION. On 15th August we celebrate Independence Day. We can have a day say 16th August when we can celebrate MODERN INDEPENDENCE DAY. The day should begin with you hoisting the flag on the Red Fort. On that day each and every citizen in the country will be allowed to have all types of sex with any number of people. A day when people will forget their caste, creed and religion and come together to have sex on the street.

]]>Sadhu with a religious horsehttp://purushottam.blog.co.uk/2005/08/12/sadhu_with_a_religious_horse/2005-08-12T13:06:14+02:00 There was a sadhu with a religious horse. The sadhu trained this horse for quite some time about how to perform specific actions, based on the specific instructions. E.g. when the horse was instructed “Thank God”, the horse would start running. When the horse was instructed “Save Me” the horse would stop running. One fine day one guest came, deep inside the jungle. “Soon the sadhu said, “I have a good religious horse, who can take you out of this jungle. You will have to remember just these two mantras, “Thank God” for running and “Save Me God” for stopping the horse.” This guest got on the horse, bid goodbye to the sadhu and shouted “Thank God”. The horse started running. The guest in the ecstasy of getting out of the jungle and having a good horse forgot the other mantra. He was wondering what the second mantra was? He again shouted “Thank God” and the horse increased its speed. He again shouted “Thank God” and the horse kept increasing its speed. Then the guest shouted “Thank God”, the horse started jumping. Finally the horse came to the edge of the mountain and the guest thought that he was nearing death. They were just one foot away from the edge and suddenly he shouted, “Save Me God”. The horse was very obedient-It stopped. As soon as the horse stopped this fellow got so relieved, that he shouted, “Thank God”. It can be easily guessed what could have happened next!

]]>My Love...http://purushottam.blog.co.uk/2005/07/22/my_love_1/2005-07-22T10:37:19+02:00 My love… Sitting under the tree, looking at the blue sky, he went into the past. He remembered his school, the classroom. He remembered the last words of Shalini “I am going to Dehradoon”. Then she had stopped for a moment and said. “Forever”. He was not able to say a single word. What he could have said? “I love you.” But he himself was not sure that he loved her. She took his hand in her hand and said. “You were the best thing which had happened in my life. Do not forget me”. Then she turned back never to look at him again. He had not said a single word. This was the first time after he met her that he did not say anything. She also never waited for his words. Or she would have thought that he would tease her again. As in the past he used to tease her to such an extent that she would cry out tears. Chocolates was the only way to pacify her. But today nothing was happening. There was silence everywhere, though the students in the class were at the top of their voice. The chair beside him was empty. Earlier he used to hate the classes and always waited for the class to get over. But today he had no such desires. Constantly he was looking at the chair next to him. It was empty. When the class got over he did not know. It was only when the peon came to close the doors that he got up. It was the same tree under which he used to sit with her after the school. Today he was alone. All alone. Children playing nearby were breaking the deafening silence. But for him everything had stopped. How can it happen to me? He thought. When she was here he never felt her presence. Never gave her importance. Sometimes did not talk to her. Would say her frankly “You are very irritating, just get lost”. And sensing the mood she would meekly walk away and he would feel comfortable. Never to bother about her feelings, her sentiments or her tears. The dusk was falling. The mobile rang. It was the favorite tune of Shalini. “Jingle Bell Jingle Bell.” When are you coming back? A voice from the other side. Without answering he picked up his bag and started walking towards the house. A lifeless walk. I am going to Dehradoon is what she had said. She had gone there several times. But this time she said “Forever”. A life without Shalini. Suddenly Shalini had become everything in his life. Standing on the terrace he felt lonely though millions of stars were looking at him. Were they sympathetic or were they laughing at him? Laughing…. At his love life. Love? The four letter word, which he always hated. How can a person love someone forever, die for his love and spoil his life for love? He used to ask his friends. And nobody was able to satisfy him with his or her answers. Did I love her? He asked himself. No it’s an impossibility. I cannot love a girl and that to Shalini. Just forget it. I am just becoming sentimental. I am just getting emotional. I have to achieve many things in my life. I should go and sleep now. I cannot get involved in such nonsensical activities. Life is precious……..life is to win, life is to be victorious always. He closed his eyes and went to sleep. He was shocked with surprise to see Shalini in the class. She was in front of him in his favorite green color dress. She was completely green. Not only the dress which she was wearing was green but also her hair band and sandals. She smiled at him and said. I know you cannot live without me so I decided to come back. I came back only for you, to be with you, to love you, to fight with you and to be teased by you. I am here for you forever. Hurry up! The mother called him. Take your breakfast. You are getting late for the school. He did not answer. He did not hear anything. Sitting on the bed his face was covered with his hands. Is everything fine? Are you ok? And she removed his hands from his face. Eyes red with tears. Face soaked with tears he said yes. Give me breakfast , I have to go to school. She has said she will not leave me? She must be waiting for me?

]]>JUST PUSHhttp://purushottam.blog.co.uk/2005/05/05/just_push/2005-05-05T14:53:22+02:00 HARE KRISHNA PUSH A man was sleeping one night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared. The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. So, this the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain. Since the man was showing discouragement, the adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind: "You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't moved." Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. Satan said, "Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough." So that's what the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a Matter of Prayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Lord. "Lord," he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What is wrong? Why am I failing? The Lord responded compassionately, "My friend, when I asked you to serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so? "Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. "True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. That you have done. Now I, my friend, will move the rock." At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants is just a simple obedience and faith in Him.

]]>SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF EXISTENCE OF GODhttp://purushottam.blog.co.uk/2005/05/02/scientific_proof_of_existence_of_god/2005-05-02T10:16:28+02:00 According to Oxford dictionary science is a branch of knowledge requiring systematic study and method, esp. dealing with substances, life, and natural laws. So science categorizes everything, which exists as known, unknown and unknowable. Known is the science, unknown is that on which scientists work and will be known in due course of time and there is nothing such as unknowable in the field of science. According to the scientists there can’t be any mystery in this world and sooner or later the science has the capability to reveal that mystery by using scientific methods. The scientific community tries to create scientific temperament among the general masses by asking the people to inquire about everything that exists and asks them to reject those things which does not have RATIONAL explanation. Believe in what you can see (e.g. light), feel (e.g. your body) and hear (e.g. sound vibration). To be more precise scientists assert that believe only on your senses, that which can be perceived by our senses is scientifically possible, is rational otherwise it is a myth and should be discarded as blind faith. Should a scientist believe in God? The question, which have always baffled the scientific community and the common people. God cannot be perceived by our senses and till now there has been no scientific instrument, which can detect the presence of God in the cosmos. The common answer, which one generally gets from most of the people, is that Religion is FAITH and Science is REALITY. One of my friend has no hesitation in accepting God, instead he minced no words in criticising the scientists who deny the existence of God. He did not believe in Big-Bang theory because according to him the theory cannot be proved experimentally. He believed in the existence of some supernatural power who controls everything .He justified his point by giving the example of Mother Teresa who healed one patient. But the other friend of mine was not convinced. He was ready to accept GOD if God Himself comes and proves His existence. I love my mother because I can feel her and I do not love God because I can’t feel Him was his instant reply. Most of the people irrespective of their religion are sure about one thing, They have faith in God, though there is no scientific proof. They believed in God because many others believed. Faith is to accept without inquiring, put trust without probing and acknowledge without prying. In other words Religion or accepting God or believing in some supernatural power is considered to be irrational which is based on some wild imagination. Is accepting God really irrational? Do science have the potential to explain everything that exists in the entire cosmos? Does science does not make any assumptions? 1) TIME-WHAT IS IT? Though the reality of time, especially in the form of its effect on us is undeniable, time is one among the many fundamental truths of life that defy scientific definition. Be that as it may, we measure time by the movement of the cosmic bodies. As per current scientific understanding, one year is the time in which the earth completes one revolution around the sun. For an object orbiting continuously in a circular path, no point on the orbit can be considered special. So scientifically there’s nothing “New” when we celebrate the New Year; the earth is going to continue in its same old path! Moreover no one can see, feel, smell, taste and hear TIME i.e. we cannot perceive time with our senses, yet no one can deny its existence. 2) Mathematicians throughout the world work with an imaginary number, which is the square root of minus 1.Important branches of mathematics –for example, the theory of analytical function –, are based on this imaginary unit. Without the help of this branch of mathematics, various complex theories and problems cannot be solved.

Such brilliantly conceived laws surely bear witness to a brilliant lawmaker. As Srila Prabhupad the founder Acharya of International Society Of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) would say that any human being with a little common sense can understand the presence GOD. PURUSHOTTAM KUMAR India <a href="http://purushottam.blog.co.uk/2005/05/02/scientific_proof_of_existence_of_god/#comments">Comments</a> According to Oxford dictionary science is a branch of knowledge requiring systematic study and method, esp. dealing with substances, life, and natural laws. So science categorizes everything, which exists as known, unknown and unknowable. Known is the science, unknown is that on which scientists work and will be known in due course of time and there is nothing such as unknowable in the field of science. According to the scientists there can’t be any mystery in this world and sooner or later the science has the capability to reveal that mystery by using scientific methods. The scientific community tries to create scientific temperament among the general masses by asking the people to inquire about everything that exists and asks them to reject those things which does not have RATIONAL explanation. Believe in what you can see (e.g. light), feel (e.g. your body) and hear (e.g. sound vibration). To be more precise scientists assert that believe only on your senses, that which can be perceived by our senses is scientifically possible, is rational otherwise it is a myth and should be discarded as blind faith.

Should a scientist believe in God? The question, which have always baffled the scientific community and the common people. God cannot be perceived by our senses and till now there has been no scientific instrument, which can detect the presence of God in the cosmos. The common answer, which one generally gets from most of the people, is that Religion is FAITH and Science is REALITY.
One of my friend has no hesitation in accepting God, instead he minced no words in criticising the scientists who deny the existence of God. He did not believe in Big-Bang theory because according to him the theory cannot be proved experimentally. He believed in the existence of some supernatural power who controls everything .He justified his point by giving the example of Mother Teresa who healed one patient.
But the other friend of mine was not convinced. He was ready to accept GOD if God Himself comes and proves His existence. I love my mother because I can feel her and I do not love God because I can’t feel Him was his instant reply.

Most of the people irrespective of their religion are sure about one thing,
They have faith in God, though there is no scientific proof. They believed in God because many others believed.

Faith is to accept without inquiring, put trust without probing and acknowledge without prying. In other words Religion or accepting God or believing in some supernatural power is considered to be irrational which is based on some wild imagination. Is accepting God really irrational? Do science have the potential to explain everything that exists in the entire cosmos? Does science does not make any assumptions?
1) TIME-WHAT IS IT?
Though the reality of time, especially in the form of its effect on us is undeniable, time is one among the many fundamental truths of life that defy scientific definition. Be that as it may, we measure time by the movement of the cosmic bodies. As per current scientific understanding, one year is the time in which the earth completes one revolution around the sun. For an object orbiting continuously in a circular path, no point on the orbit can be considered special. So scientifically there’s nothing “New” when we celebrate the New Year; the earth is going to continue in its same old path! Moreover no one can see, feel, smell, taste and hear TIME i.e. we cannot perceive time with our senses, yet no one can deny its existence.

2) Mathematicians throughout the world work with an imaginary number, which is the square root of minus 1.Important branches of mathematics –for example, the theory of analytical function –, are based on this imaginary unit. Without the help of this branch of mathematics, various complex theories and problems cannot be solved. Thus the existence of this number cannot be denied, yet there is no experimental proof of its existence.

3) Another scientific theory that is beyond the limit of experimental science is
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle .In mathematical language, it is stated that the product of the uncertainties in the measured values of the position and momentum (product of mass and velocity) cannot be smaller than Plank’s constant. No existing experimental technique can prove this principle. However, scientists all over the world accept this statement as fact, knowing that the experimental proof is beyond their ability.

4) Similarly there is no scientific experiment to prove the Third Law Of Thermodynamics. This law as formulated by Planck, states that the entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero degrees is equal to zero. Factually there is no means available for measuring directly the absolute entropies. Therefore the proof of this law is beyond the realm of experimental science.

]]>A PARABLE TO PONDER...http://purushottam.blog.co.uk/2005/04/30/a_parable_to_ponder/2005-04-30T17:48:16+02:00 Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her, and she would help him get through the difficult times. The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her! One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, "I now have four wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone." Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!", replied the 4th wife, and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart. The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!" His heart sank and turned cold. He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" “I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only accompany you to your grave." Her answer came like a bolt of lightning, and the King was devastated. Then a voice called out: "I'll leave with you and follow you no matter where you go." The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was so skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!" In truth, we all have 4 wives in our lives: Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good or feel good, it will leave us when we die. Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it will all go to others. Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world. However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us that will follow us to the throne of God and continue with us throughout Eternity.

]]>Unanswered questions of “BIG BANG”http://purushottam.blog.co.uk/2005/04/28/unanswered_questions_of_a_8220_big_banga_8221/2005-04-28T15:34:26+02:00 Most of the theories in modern science about the origin of the universe are based on the concept of the Big Bang and its variations. The theory was first conceived in 1927 by a Belgian priest called Georges Lemaitre. The basic idea of the Big Bang is that the entire universe exploded from a state of infinite density, temperature and pressure at extremely high-energy levels. Subsequently, the universe expanded and cooled. The supporters of the Big Bang model explain that at some stage of the expansion different sub-atomic particles became manifest. Thereafter light elements such as hydrogen and helium were formed followed by the heavy elements. With the formation of the elements, no free electrons were left to scatter photons of light and the universe became transparent to radiation, which we observe today as the steady-state theory, the oscillating universe etc. Although the Big Bang is at present, the most accepted scientific theory regarding the origin of the universe, several serious unanswered questions need to be addressed. What existed before the Big Bang? Were there laws of physics and space-time before the Big Bang? When, how and will our universe come to an end? There are no conclusive answers only more questions. It is doubtful whether the present knowledge of cosmology will provide any answers to these questions. For example, how did the Big Bang lead to the formation of structures like galaxies? What is the nature of the distribution of matter within the galaxies and in between galaxies? What is the source of the dark unseen matter and what is it made of? The field of cosmology is still quite open. According to many modern cosmologists, the Big Bang marks the moment at which the universe began and when space and time came into existence. They also deduced a history of the universe dating back to just 10-43 second after the Big Bang. However physicists also know that for a small duration of 10-43 second after the Big Bang, classical (deterministic) laws cannot be used to describe the origin of the universe. It has to be described within the framework of quantum mechanics. Thus a suitable unified theory of gravity or simply quantum gravity is needed to describe the origin. However till today there is no satisfactory theory of quantum gravity. A description of the complete theory is still lacking. Stephen Hawking says, “May be it is not possible to formulate the theory of the universe in a finite number of statements…..we and our models, are both part of the universe we are describing. Thus a physical theory, is self referencing like in Godel’s theorem. One might, therefore, expect it to be either inconsistent or incomplete. The theories we have so far are both inconsistent and incomplete”.
