What about Christmas ? - from an Indian to fellow Indians (especially my Indian Christian brothers and sisters)

What about Christmas ? There's so much to say. How do I say it without revealing My deepest hurts ? Would it mean anything to anyone, to you, if I do not express and expose My innermost feelings to you ?

What about Christmas ?

My dearest and most honest answer -

"It's so-so-so very alien in spirit."

I realised this, My truest feeling about it, after decades of My life spent under the all encompassing umbrella (or shall I say "...grip?") of the Roman Catholic Church. Childhood under that umbrella was a fantastic dream, with all those engaging rituals of a "TRUE ?" Christian - Carols, X'mas trees, Santa, cakes, lights, angels, cribs, stars, charity, midnight mass in the winter cold; everything to capture one's (especially a child's) senses and soul, sowing the first seeds of the desire to "escape" to some-"any" western, Christian country, somehow-"anyhow", for that matter even in the hearts of uninformed non-Christians, let alone in our own hearts and minds. 

Now many of you of My generation are doing the same to the next generation, who, if at all any, will take decades to realise what's being done to them. And what of many fellow non-Christians' awe of all things Christian and western ? That makes things worse still.

You've got to understand it or else we're all lost and rootless.

I prefer roots to wings because I love the Earth more than the sky. One can fly about in the sky but finally one has to come down to the Earth to find rest and peace.

And I had to learn to love My Motherland (India) no matter what it's flaws were.

Most of us are not able to shake off the grip or the fantastic dreams ever, rather we live and die in it and more- we perpetuate it. You know the one type fits all types ...!!! :( !

Cowherds and Carpenters Inc. - MY LORD VISHNU - YHWH

Rama rang up Krishna -

Listen old Buddy,

long before, I played My part.
Now My cycle's done.
It's time for Your's to start. 
This world's evil can be vanquished 
only by Who THOU art.

So Krishna came
into a world in disarray.
Vanquished evil,
established His sway
and went His way.

The wheels turned once again.
The cycle was done
and the story again begun.

So Krishna rang up Jesus -
Listen old Buddy,
long before, I played My part.
Now My cycle's done.
It's time for Your's to start.
This world's hunger can be satisfied
only by Who THOU art.

So Jesus came
to set things right again.
Became The Bread of Life,
even as the world
cut Him like a knife.

The wheels turned once again. 
The cycle was done
and the story again begun.

So here we are once again
at the start,
longing for the same.

BUDDY come again !
...for only THOU suffice !

YHWH !

Here's to power to the capitalists of the USA and a handful of them in India, and a finger to Obama and his ilk.

To give people a good, even decent life you need to run a country well. 

To run a country well you need a government. 

To run a government you need taxes, if not donations instead. 

To get taxes you need people to earn a living. 

To have people earn a living you need work. 

To have work you need to have factories, services, etc. 

To have factories & services, etc you need companies. 

To tax companies you need them to be privately owned. 

To have privately owned companies you need CAPITALISTS.

To allow capitalists to exist you need to give them freedom. 

To give them freedom you need to give them power over their jurisdictions. 

To give them power over their jurisdictions you need to curtail government interference in their businesses. 
To curtail government interference in business matters you need to delimit government's power.

To delimit government's power you need to consult THE CAPITALISTS ! 

In consulting the capitalist (without whom you'll have nothing decent to offer to the people in the first place) you are relinquishing power into the hands of THE CAPITALISTS !!!

A writer's prayer - Write Thine Word, Almighty Father !

Father, may I write such that My words reach the deepest resources of My Reader's soul and deposit a precious sovereign in it's treasury ... a sovereign, the value of which cannot be measured in silver or gold but can be felt and experienced only in the profound divine graces it produces in the discerning ones. Father bless Me eternally with such grace. I know You do ... a sovereign that multiplies in it's value exponentially, slowly and steadily as time passes, to the joy and thrill and amazement of My Reader. 

Amen !!!

Grant Me just those Words, Father !

On the Sacred and the profane.

In the West sexual moors are influenced by the fact that - there the sacred is holding out against the profane.
While in India here it's more like the profane trying to desperately hold out against the sacred. That is why absurdities such as same sex so-called-marriages will not find legal or social sanction in our land.

This is because in the West, the body is considered the source of the profane, while here in India, our body is considered a Temple, a source of the sacred and sublime. Sexuality in the West is more about rebellion against the restrictions of religion and society, therefore the reactionary same-sex movements find sanction amongst some there.
In India, sex is about the expression of the spiritual celebration of life, our body, our desires (honest ones), attraction between opposites, all having the sanction and sanctification of society which considers sex sacred, sometimes even when amorous.
Thus there is no need to be reactionary and demand legal marital status or union to same-sex relationships in rebellion against anyone. Against whom exactly does one rebel ? Sexual experimentation having sanction in the Indian way of life, same-sex relationships are not frowned upon in our land. They are considered as experimental. Only absurdities such as legal unions or marital status is not accorded to them. Marriage is the coming together of opposites, not the same, as in the case of a nut and a bolt ! :P You IDIOT !
And we'd like to ......... ,(fill in the blanks yourself if you have the balls), if you display your same-sex moors in public places before our children ... all that rainbow rubbish. 
Grow up if you're an Indian now.
And as long as Obama and his likes hold on to their absurd notions, bless them with more thunderstorms to deal with LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. Global warming ? What rubbish ! Moral corruption is more likely the answer, Obama Beta.
Of course if you intend to destroy your great country, Obama, only your countrymen can stop you !!! :) !

What I found ... (just my veiwpoint)

Islam and the Jewish religions begin on the premise that man is corrupt, therefore the Circumcision. Christianity on that man has fallen, therefore the Baptism. Only Hinduism begins and ends and carries through on the noble premise that man is both sacred and divine through and through. Though all four believe that God is supreme. It's their perspective on Man's fundamental motivations that sets each apart. The Buddhist is handicapped by his atheistic veiwpoint. And the atheist doesn't know what he's talking about. He builds a wall around himself and lives in constant denial, sometimes inspite of evidence to the contrary. The Jain seem to think they should take off everything and run for the nearest hillock if the Divine is to be attained. The Sikhs are a great lot inspite of their turban etc ! I think that's why they are the butt of other's jokes, others who can't match up to their ethics. 

Ps. Notice, I never said or wrote that any of the above were wrong ... ! :P !  :D !

I'd Rather have YHWH !

I'd rather have Krishna 
than silver or gold
I'd rather have Rama 
than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus
than houses or lands
I'd rather be led by His nail pierced hand

Than to be the King of a vast domain
but be held in sin's dread sway

I'd rather have Allah
than anything
I'd rather have Father Almighty, You,
than what the world brings.

"The Catholic" - by an 'OUT'standing Catholic

A neutered soul, struggling to rise-

"Freed !?!" from the chains of "World !?!" and "Vice !?!"

To give expression to the "Hero" within-

"Freed !?!" from the chains of "Guilt !?!" and "Sin !?!"

Listen Friend !

There just might be reason to rejoice

in the depths of Your Heart.

Seek your Light there

from where It should never depart.

What's YHWH ?

My friend Namita asked me what YHWH stood for and here's the answer I gave her -

Hebrew- Yahweh

Incorrect Christian pronunciation- Jehovah- a combination of Yahweh + Adonai ( for Master )

A possible English derivation- Yahoo !

In Hindi - Yeh hai  !

... in all meaning- This Is or It Is or He Is or What Is

also called The Tetragrammaton,

The not to be pronounced four lettered Name of The Holy One, The God of 'Is'rael.

...my conjecture--- IS- REAL or The REAL "IS"

and "YAHVI" - The Godess of Heaven and Earth - in Sanskrit ! :) !

  ....There's more ! Happy Exploring !!! 

King Of Kings

To suffer shame
To sweat blood
when He could have enjoyed His heavenly bliss
Was This a Man ?
Or, Oh My God ! 
What sort of God is This !?!

Of Nuts and Bolts.

It takes on an average 18 years to figure out whether a 
nut should work with a nut or (absurdity of absurdities) whether a bolt should work with a bolt or whether actually a nut is supposed to work with a bolt. If one has exceeded the time limit to figure it out far beyond a reasonable period (say maybe +5 years) like specimens like I suppose Chetan Bhagat or even Obama, I suggest he/she consult our friend Mr. Ramdev with all sincerity and immediately. He claims to have found some appropriate solutions for such a condition. And he/she shouldn't please fall into the trap of rationalising that it is the done thing (this condition), a nature's given, in a modern world. Nuts and bolts of the type I'm suggesting have not been created in near recent history. They have been here even before humans came into existence and have had their specifically clear and relevant roles to play since eons past. :) !

Timeless Ways (ESTO VIR - Play the Man)

The literally illiterate
often seem to be the literate
while the supposedly literate
become in effect the illiterate.

The child in me knows not
but still plays the man
The man in himself
sits stuck to his plans.

Often the blind man sees
walks steady and tall
Blinded by the myriad of lights
the Seer falters and falls.

So enjoy the beautiful lights
Enjoy the wonderful plans
Enjoy being literate
as that illiterate man !

"Ghar Vapasi" ( Lord I'm coming home )

Surya Namaskar at Dhundhi
A meadow near Beas Kund in the Himalayas (1991-92)

I stood there naked in the mountain stream
With only a towel on my waist wrapped around
Raised the running Water to the Sun in my palms
And trembling poured it down

Oh what bliss, the sparkling Sun!
As it's beads ran down my face and chest
Oh what a blessed world I live in
Unmindful of the rest.

BRAHMA
shining through the brilliant Sun
VISHNU'S rays 
sustain the Earth
SHIVA
destroys with the scorching heat
bringing about rebirth

My homage to You ALMIGHTY GOD!
My homage to You ABBA!
I bow to You ALMIGHTY GOD!
I bow to You ABBA!
