गर्व से कहो - हम भस्मासुर हैं

गर्व से कहो - हम भस्मासुर हैं


धर्मेन्द्र चतुर्वेदी

मैंने बचपन में सोचा था कि पढ़ूँगा वैदिक दर्शन के बारे में,

जानूँगा क्या होता है साररूप होना,

क्या होता है अद्वैत दर्शन का तत्वमसि हो जाना


सोचा था कि क्या है कृष्ण में जो खींचे रखता था रसखान को अपनी ओर,

क्यों मीरा इतनी पागल थी,

और क्यूँ लोग कबीर के इतने दीवाने होते हैं?



मैंने चाहा कि जानूँ सूफ़ी संतों के बारे में,

क्यूँ उनके चेहरे तेज से भरपूर होते हैं,

कैसे पाते हैं वो ईश्वर प्रेम के ज़रिये?

मैंने चाहा कि जानूँ बुद्ध को,

कौन सा जादू था उनके वचनों में,

उनके चेहरे में,

जो उन्हें देखकर लोग बन जाते थे उनके भक्त,

जो रात भर में उनके अनुयायी समंदर पार भी बन जाते थे




ठीक उसी समय जब मैं ये सब जानने ही वाला था,

उन्होंने मुझे रोका और बताया

कि वैदिक दर्शन जानने के पहले ज़रूरी है

जानो देवी-देवताओं की संख्या,

जानो देश भर में कितने राम मंदिर हैं

और कितनों के बगल में मस्जिद हैं;



और कबीर को जानना इतना इम्पोर्टेंट नहीं है

जितना महाराणा प्रताप को जानना,

परशुराम को जानना,

और यह जानना कि छत्रपति शिवाजी कितने वीर थे,

और कैसे औरंगज़ेब को नाकों चने चबाने पड़े थे




उन्होंने बताया कि

तुम्हारे बाबा के बाबा के मौसा को

उनके ही गाँव के एक आदमी ने मार डाला था

और उस आदमी का मज़हब तुम्हारे सूफ़ी संत के मज़हब से मेल खाता है,

इसलिए वह सूफ़ी संत ख़ूनी है




बुद्ध को उन्होंने विष्णु का दसवाँ अवतार बताया।

"और चूँकि राम भी थे विष्णु के अवतार,

इसलिए राम और विष्णु एक ही हैं,

और कोई ज़रूरत नहीं रह जाती तब बुद्ध को जानने की",

उन्होंने कहा।



इतने सब ज्ञान के बाद उन्होंने मुझे आज्ञा दी

"जाओ मेरे धर्म-रक्षक, देशभक्त, वीर,

और इस बेवक़ूफ दुनिया को भी बतलाओ

असली और नक़ली का भेद"।



तब से मैं जहाँ भी जाता हूँ,

वहाँ फट जाता हूँ

और पैदा करता हूँ

अपने ही जैसे पचास भस्मासुर

"ऐसा करने से स्वर्ग की प्राप्ति होती है"

ऐसा उनका कहना है।

Sanjiv Bhatt's Open Letter

Sanjeev Bhatt:
I have principle and no power
You have power and no principle
You being you & I being I
Compromise is out of question
So let d battle begin
I have truth and no force
You have force and no truth
You being you and I being I
Compromise is out of question
So let the battle begin
You may club my skull I will fight
You may crush my bones I will fight
You may bury me alive I will fight.
With truth running through me I will fight
With every ounce of my strength I will fight..
With my last dying breath I will fight
I will fight till the Castle that you built with your lies
Comes tumbling down
Till the devil you worshipped with your lies
Kneels down before my angel of truth.
May the kind God give you the requisite strength
To be equitable and benevolent towards one and all!
Satyamev Jayate![Please, share]

Nationalism

The minute you really stop discriminating between people on the man-made bases of divisions, anybody and everybody becomes just a human being, and becomes yours.
But national boundaries still have relevance, because there is enormous disparity in the economy of different regions.
If state boundaries are removed today, the nations with unlimited wealth, plundered from the world, will take away all the wealth to their parts of the world, and leave the people in the other parts of the world penniless. So until the development and economies of all the regions start to match a bit, the state boundaries should remain.
Having national boundaries will certainly mean nationalism in some kind or form, but it should never mean vulgar nationalism. And vulgar nationalism should have no place in human interactions and human relations.
As far as living or not living on the soil of your country is concerned, it is a matter of choice. In today's times of global economy it hardly matters where a national of a country is staying and working. You can serve your nation from abroad in endless number of ways, and can loot or humiliate your nation while living very much on its soil. What matters is your love for your country and for the world at large.

Are all the terrorists muslims?

It is wrong to say that all terrorists are muslims.
Irish Republican Army of Ireland (IRA) were named terrorists in the early 1920s, long before our own garam dal freedom fighters were called terrorists by the British.
IRA was the best organized terrorist organization till the recent past which survived for about 90 years and still has its offshoots. Its human bombs have attacked british military campuses about a year ago.
ETA of Spain came second to them in organization and are still active.
LTTE were considered in the third place then and were very well organized till last year.
Just that no one called them christian or hindu terrorists.
In free India 'terrorism' was seen in darjeeling, assam, nagaland, manipur, punjab before it was seen in kashmir.
US was and is facing terrorism from many latin american countries from times immemorial.
USA used Osama and organized Taliban against Russian forces in Afghanistan. In the late 80s the Russians retreated, but the US did not leave Saudi Arabia (USA's military base) (Osama's country) and wanted to capture the gas of Afghanistan. It is then that their own Osama and the Talibans became their foes. Until 1990 USA did not face terrorism from any muslim country.
Just that Osama and his men having worked for the US intelligence agencies, and Taliban having been trained and equipped by US intelligence agencies know the US security loopholes better.

We all are Ruchikas

Ruchika case

Aren't all of us identifying with Ruchika? Haven't all of us undergone the same? Why didn't we commit suicide? The answer is simple we didn't report.

Sometimes we took law into our hands and slapped the individual. Sometimes we shouted at him, cursed him, but most of the time we just endured the hurt and quietly waited for the pain to subside. Isn't this suicide?

When the molester is not a person in position of so called strength, can a girl get justice? NEVER. You report it and you will be blamed. Society will find fault with your attitude, your looks, your dress, your behaviour, your way of life...................

All the Rathores and not so rathores know this and enjoy this immunity.

Therefore all 50 crores of us get molested and our soul dies a silent death each and everytime.

A new government in New Delhi

It's strange; I totally forgot about my blogs. I think from today I should start writing again. Today Dr. Manmohan Singh was sworn-in as Prime Minister of India for the second time. A thought passed by. Should such important posts be advertised and people selected after a good selection process for such posts? I was compelled to think so.

Should a minister who performed well, and brought laurels to the last government be punished for not fighting the elections together? I mean Sri Lalu Prasad Yadav.

Sri Karunanidhi's fight for ministerial berth for his family members was looking disgusting. Why do some politicians play with our country's future?

Left was instrumental in almost all good things the last government had done, and which helped UPA government achieve greater success in these elections. They should be mentioned too.

I think what BJP and Sangh Parivar offered was a divisive agenda. They were boasting around about how and how many muslims and christians will they kill and sterilize. Varun Gandhi did not spare the sikhs too. Why are people with such notions not punished immediately?

There is some major fault with our education system that the Sangh Parivar is totally ignorant of our constitution. They are even more ignorant of the fact that all of us are obliged to follow the constitution as citizens of India.
