Dear karunadas,
Namaskar.
Sorry. I am unable to be proud to be Indian. The reason is that all the incarnations of God except Buddha (matsya, kacchapa, baraha, nrusingha,bamana, parasurama,rama,krishna and Buddha) indulged in violence which shapes indian culture and the result is feud, bickering and killing the kith and kin. Unless harmony is seen in Indian life, I do not like to live in pseudo-pride. I feel proud for Buddha and feel shame for Buddhism being wiped out from India in 12th century
regards.

Dear Dr.Jogeshwar:
There are historical reasons for Buddhism to go out of India. Firstly there was no State sponsorship after Ashoka. The second reason is, although Buddha gave clear indications about the path to be followed, the later followers forgot his teachings and were content to install him as an Avatar or a deity. With many other hindu pantheon traditionally worshipped were around, it was natural to forget the newfound icon Buddha. It is another story that Buddhism thrived in far east.
The Avatars you mentioned are largely mythological like the Greek pantheon with poetical exaggerations. The human Avatars were extolled because they were Kings and a King was equal to God. There were strifes and even genocides. But in those days war was practiced as a Dharma and Dharma varied from individual to individual.
Kindest regards

Dear Raghavan,
Namaskar.
It is a Very nice interpretation. But I am not concerned about that. Interpretations always vary. What is important for me is the repercussions of myths on the culture, that is, feuds and killings of own kith and kin. I shall be happy if you pledge for a culture for comfortable living.
Below you signature there is line about your yoga practices. Will you please elaborate that.

Dear Dr.Jogeshwar
The Buddha being accepted as an Avatar and the absorption of Buddhism by Hinduism was from Jawaharlal Nehru in Discovery of India which I read long years ago. Right from Julius Ceaser all military and social upheavals directly affected the common people. It is also another interpretation.
Now to Yoga. I am a practtioner/teacher for almost three decades. I will gladly share with you more if you give me your mail id as I am unable to send any files through this.

Dear Raghavan,
you are always missing the point which I want to emphasise. The point is- IS OUR SOCIOCULTURAL ETHOS CONDUCIVE ENOUGH FOR COMFORTABLE LIVING? My answer to this question is "NO". This is my grievance.
Rgarding Yoga and health, I think you may start a thread for the benefits of interested citehr members. My e-mail ID

Dear Dr. Jogeshwar:

I thought the debate was on and further comments would pour in on BE PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN. But the bug stopped with me! I was not missing any point. On the other hand, I was trying to get more from you and others perhaps. Coming to socio cultural ethos - are we away from it or in it? Does it exist away from us, any society for that matter. The cultural ethos of America is proudly spoken. Look at what happened at New Orleans when the Hurricane Katarina struck that region. The people who died mostly are blacks or Afro Americans and the whole of America was crying over the destroyed oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico and the damage in millions of dollars are calculated based on this. Can an American be proud to be one on this one incident? Privately he may debate or find fault with the failure of the system. But what about the human tragedy? The callousness of the authorities. An American may not agree with this view. The system is laisse faire and the people have to lookafter themselves, whatever tragedy either natural or otherwise. But an ordinary man, a compassionate man who feels for the fellow human would definitely extend his helping arm. They are doing it now belatedly and many died like a bunch of rats. Can this happen in a white dominated population? This is what I am asking. I am concerned with the world situation as such. Leave the patriotism apart or your racial pride or whatever pride. That is why I said it happens in any society. Our society is so diversified, stratified by castes and classes, it is no wonder that socio cultural milieu is hardly possible. Still look at the people, each one is conditioned by several thousand years of this division and it is not so easy to break in one day. I understand your feelings, your feeling for the fellow human, his restrictions imposed by himself, his thought conditions and the society at large. Yes. It is too heavy a burden. But a conscious society moves on. Let us move on with this thought.

Sincerely

Raghavan

Hi all,

I would like to quote below from well known Francisco Roberto Canada, Director & Partner, Errepar S.A.,

Quote:

"A concept from Buddhism and Hinduism, dharma, has had an enormous impact on my life. Ordinarily, this term is translated into "right action" or "acting righteously", but to me this term is much more than these definitions imply. For me it really is all about responsibility. Given my nature, my wish to be silent, it is difficult for me to be a business leader, but my concept of dharma as responsibility has helped me a lot to understand my position as a leader. It has also helped me to make the difficult decisions I have had to make, such as those dealing with firing people.

Whenever we have to make a decision, and we don't do it in a dharmic way, in the long run it becomes obvious, that it was not the right way to decide and not the right decision to make.

On some occasions we have had to refuse publishing a book if it did not align with our principles, even if the book would obviously sell many copies and give financial success to the company. The managers are very focused on earning money, and in many cases they have proposed publications which were not dharmic - meaning in these cases that they would not inspire people to act in a proper way. Such books we have turned down.

In the beginning, this attitude sometimes created confusion, but little by little the employees understood that their work, and those affected by our work, was to lead them in the direction of spiritual growth. When we select a book for publication, we focus on quality, in the broad, spiritual sense of the word."

Unquote

A owner publisher (in Argentina) also talks of Budhism and Hinduism as a guide to run his business. Shouldn't Indians be proud to be an Indian?

Thanks

Bala
