Confessions

Last week was very happening from the viewpoint of every avid Indian Citizen. Babri Majid- Ramjanmbhoomi verdict,Opening of CWG-Delhi and Gandhi Jayanti.
These three incidents though dont have any interconnection but what is most interesting is the pretext of their occurence.

It is not more than an irony that a man of Character as of Ram was used as a pretext of riots and needless voilence in India. He if in person would be looking from above must have cried at the situation so tragic and full of injustice. Ram can be conferred as Iqbal- E- Hind as it was told to me by Mrs. Uma Dubey mam' some years back. I to find my view point devoured entire Ramcharitramanas to identify diffrences and similarites between him and Krishna. Though the incarnations of the same - Vishnu both have their own charisma. Women identify themselves more with Krishna because of his very heartwarming and cute image of a plump child. Also Krishna literature has described love in very profound and fullfilling way. His dialogues with Gopi and their unconditional love is most cherished in a veriety of ways to me.
Its said that entire wealth of the universe falls short infront of Unconditional love. When krishna used to play the flute entire set of gopi's used to leave their work as it is. Some of them were also married but their incessant love for krishna made them forgetful of their present conciousness. This one to many function with carnal pleasures' interdepedency is the most profound example of the same feelings.

Its also said that such love is very hard to get these days when the societal maze has got interwined with aspirations and other materialistic commitments and ego;but i strongly disaprove of this. Ofcourse this may be true in a number of cases but that finding cannot be superimposed to my or any other case. This argument is true if i give an example to make it lucid.
Consider this-" 10 people have played with my trust in a variety of way so this 11th person will also do the same." This is insane.
Or this one" 20 love marriages have failed in my vicinity so doing a love marriage is a risky business."

If we do an indepth analysis of Ram one would find a very serene demeanour with a charishma deemed to the priciples of equality,justice and compassion. He was like any other human faced troubles and also sometimes broke with emotions. When laxman grew unconcious with the strike of malfluous 'nagpash', he almost gave into the pressure and grief. But important is his commitment and a will to rise up. When he was newly coronated as Prince of Ayodhya he solemnly accepted the ill wish of his other mother Kekai and moved to Jungle. He was never accosted with a feeling of revenge for what was done to him. He was on the otherhand more filled with love for his brother Bharat. He always choose right methods to achieve and with much efforts he found what he deserved.

If someone uses extreme voilence and blodshedding measures for a piece of land then definitely he doesnt know a bit of what Ram was like. New India is young and more reasonable in their actions and they have shown that inspite of inclusion of various western tendencies they have only grown reasonable on grave issues. This cant be termed as indifference of young people about the subject as some would profess but it is more about learning from the past.

Coming to Gandhi- i recalled his serious effort named - " My Experiments with Truth". This non fiction item is very artfully crafted with all this candid experiences about what he did and how he should have done them. We too feel that sometimes after we write an exam but hopelessly that learning doesnt carry forward. Gandhi like any other young man failed many a times on the issues with self control- whether in speech or behaviour. His experience abroad and with Kasturbai are hilarious when they start off but one becomes mesmerised with ability to describe them in detail after he became 'Mahatamai in India. No one would want that his or her wrong doings should come up after he or she has been acknowledged as a Good Chap! But Gandhi almost like a true gentleman confessed each of things which he thought were wrong.
Its like you have won the race but now you dont want to discuss about your real intensions. Gandhi was a very coomon man in his appearances and behaviour early on. Its true because he himself didnt thought that he was to become the father of the Nation one day. But some incidences made him learn quicky. He evolved the philosophy of non -voilence and endless compassion. He would urge people to waive of all the ill thoughts you have for other people beacause they did something wrong to you; on the other hand love your enemy, feed them if they are hungry! Think that they are just 'ignorant' of what they are doing and they are lost souls.

Its idealist and away from reality, i thought early on but its a very amazing feeling to forgive people. I tried it some times it feels good.

Give it a try!!!
It works!!!
