Religion : in My view.

Have been going through a conflict in my mind over the recent happenings of Uttarakhand.

The heart cant believe , Gods can be so ruthless.
Mind tells me , we deserved it.
Heart Tells me, its God wrath
Mind tells me , we brought it upon ourselves.

So i took , solace in few readings, of philosophical and religious types. Tried todeep dive in my mind as to what beliefs i have grown with and suddenly it lighted upon me.

I have not been to any religious place. i mean from religious purposes. I have been to Jammu, Tirupati, Shiv mandirs but have hardly pleaded , begged before god, asked for salvation. Have got int negotiation i.e. give me this and i will do this. It gets worse. Hardly kept any Vrat ( fast) ,Never Gone to Shivjis on monday, Hanuman ji, on Tuesday, Sai baba on thursday, Santoshi mata on friday and Saturday , shani god.

Just Athiest ,I think by the standards of people who have visited 4 dhams, before 40, have visited all shakti peeths before 50. I am a living demon.But then. Since when did god started living in places,temples, mountains, hills, and all such remote locations ?

Why is this dying need to visit god every year, every month, every fortnight, every week. Just because you can afford it ? or is it that we have started sinning too often too fast and need to confess and repent so that we can start all over again.The Sinning process.

Where did God mandate, that you have to visit me this many times in your life time ? NEVER and NOWHERE.

Its the fear of loss, of masses fuelled by God men who gaurantee safegaurds, repentance if you do things their way.

To compare : There were less temples, less pilgrims, more peace of mind. Almost like Cancer.
There was less cancer, less hospitals, more healthy bodies, when we were just farmers.

Has religion grown from opium for masses to new age cancer. With no cure but various method to control and prolong life, whatever be its quality ?

If we cant find peace within our selves, within our family and friends, with our loved ones. Trust me, No place on this earth can gaurantee you peace and penance. God's were supposed to be principles, institutions not human forms that carry human weaknesses.

Once in a while you have to go on a journey to to loose yourself so that you can discover yourself is explainable. Every weekend to mussorie with an evening arti at HAridwar aur rishikesh is Criminal if nothing else.

If visiting these places could assure salvation. All mules carrying pilgrims, should be worshipped they carry them 365days. All those khadims, who are not even hindus, should go to heaven. Simple ? isnt it. But we can afford to agree with this , as this is not what was taught to us or what we have beleived it.

Most of so called gurus , propogate against western culture , MNC culture and consumerism. If that is bad, this is worse, specially when mixed with that culture.

The worst of East and West. Its a new Vulture. ( The vulgur Culture)

So today we find more pilgrims, with Coke, Chips, Choclates. We even have a CCD there. Cheers !

First we Mock God, Them we Screw nature and then we claim to be victims when nature gets back.

It doesnt end here. We try to rebuild nature with more development, cement, plastics, cokes, ACs, modern amenities. We screw nature and annoy gods , twice over with our repentenceand pay back.

Can we spare god and Nature and let them be them ? Can we prevent the Gods from Manmade disasters.

Trust me when i say this. Kedarnath was not an isolated instance, but a warning to people who want to be too close to god.  Beyond's god Comfort. We careful what you wish for. For all your wishes like, Mujhe apni Sharan main le lo. It might just be granted, then dont go cribbing for help and rescue.

"Mohabbat main zaroori hai Doori banaye rakhna " GODS REALIZED THIS  and set thier abode on remote , inaccesible hills. Its time we relaized this and reduced our visits. He/She will be more delighted if people just behaved as good humans, respected thier parents, loved their families, be nice to their friends and neighbours and did their duty towards the society.

Modern World Trauma through eyes of history and Mythology

Have been reading some varied historical/mythological perspective on social /political issues and the more i read history the more truth reveals itself.

Future is just history repeated in a different time.

Whatever you do to change your future, it will always be defined by history.

What you do today will decide your future as today is history and hence point of reference for tommrow , the future.

With this points as reference i started with the most current topic in hearts and minds of people , the Delhi gangrape.

What it was ? a Ghastly act of Violence. A Sick mind acting with brute force. Explosion of hidden feelings, desires, passions all negative albeit. From where did this sickness, this negativity  this ruthlessness came inside a human looking living being ????.

Even Animals are not that ruthless.This needs to be something else. Then the pattern started emerging. It was Delhi so it was a major case, it happens with regularity in all other parts of country. Haryana women were being raped and Taped. Orrisa was same, UP , Bihar, Punjab was no better.

Kerala , Maharashtra, Gujrat, AP. Karnantaka were little better.

Are north Indians worse than south or west indians. Why do women feel safe south of narmada ? Not absolutely but comparatively.

Then i went into history to seek answers.
Historically. Women were treated as prized assets, camouflaged as devis, lakshmis, saraswati but assets. becuase they were assets. They grew, they performed, they contributed to the constructive part of the economy, when men were mostly at war. They held on to the thread of society. Hence they were the real show runners. Men were just that , MACHO. as kings, Traders, drunkards, fighters, saints, rishis, bhramin but MACHO.

Women ran the economy but as a close second, never questioned, never ask for any thing more than a good society and good family.

But what happened in MACHO world. When ever there was war, Women were exploits of war, raped with impunity, rarely killed. carrier of new genes. sent off to different world as means of pleasure, used as commodity of trade in matrimonial alliance used as a shield to buy piece. SEX FOR PEACE. how Innovative.

But where this happened the most was North India, Now pakistan and Afganistan. For 5000 years, attacks upon attacks from Aryans, to Huns, Chengez, Alexender, Babar, NAdir Shah. Waves after waves of attack on civilization . All to create a way of life and or to sustain or grow a way of life.
Now who brings life in this world. Women of course. So exploit and explore was the mantra.
How do you think, Aryans expanded, or Alexender, or Mughals.
Hence only one section of the society was at receiving end,  Women.
Because they were assets, they could be looted , transferred, multiplied bt never fought back.

20th century it changed. The assets became self aware, they started getting educated, they fought back when treated and exploited as assets. The MACHO's could not and cannot digest this as it is against 10000 years of genetic belief. So what they do, They assetify the Women. Assualt them, tie them down to khaps, fatwas, Gotras etc. Today they are exposing the double faced society like never. A country led by a lady of foreign origin, a City state led by a women CM, A neighboring state led till a few months back a woman. MACHOs respect the women is power. but want them dead today. So that they can be worshiped as deities. but not be there to rule their lives. DOUBLE FACED , ALL MACHO's

Thankfully this trend is dominant in North India, and not south India, so called ASURA country. because women were always respected there. The cultural conflict due to continuous invasion were minimum.

Even today a Punjab and UP and Bihar has largest Expat inflow due to canada and middle east fascination.
