My Choon

DEV-DAS or DEVI-DAS
by: Dev Daas on Sep 1 2004 2:56PM

When I saw DEVDAS of BHANSALI then only this idea came to mind to write the story of Real DEVDAS, although I read Sharat’s Devdas earlier also twice. But when I read Sharat’s novel then I did not had the experience, which was with me when I saw Bhansali’s Devdas. I started writing it in Hindi during 2002 but then I had a massive heart attack. I don’t know if I survived it to write my entire story only. Actually it is very challenging as well as painful/ torturous to write all those things. I was never a student of English literature in my life. Writing anything in English is not only difficult but can also be insulting to my most precious feelings & the English language. Such things one can best write in his own language only. But even then I am trying to narrate those experiences and feelings of real LOVE, which prompted me to all kinds of sacrifices besides the sacrifice of the biggest pleasure of my life. May be she also read it sometime to provide me some reprieve/ relief and life.

May be I can meet her in next life as promised by her just before her engagement. But I can not prey to GOD for this much favors even because I have taken an oath to prey for her happiness only. I always told her that why me????....When I am committed to give you a better man & mate than me. I gave her such a man only and she may like to marry with him only in her next births also.

From April 1997 to Nov 2000, I saw her everyday, listened her everyday, touched her everyday but thereafter she banned me to send an email greetings on her BIRTHDAY even. I am still waiting for lifting of this BAN, but I also know her very well, therefore also know that Ban will never be lifted in the next births even, what to hope in this life. But what can I do, except to wait till infinity, because I also told her that it is my right to send her Birthday greetings and I will wait for her green signal till infinity.

I still feel capable to solve every puzzle of other's life but is there any solution of my puzzle also? NO, even GOD can't help here because she is much more adamant than I was to ensure a happy future for her. I don't want to prey to GOD even for any intervention in this matter. It was her mistake only and she should realize and correct it at her own.

Everything can't be summarized in hundreds of pages because it is the biggest story of my very eventful life which finally turned out be the biggest tragedy also. I am proud of just only one fact today that DEVDAS of SHARAT was not a match to me. What sacrifice DEVDAS made?

The coward wanted to marry Paro but run away when Paro came to marry him. He was not a married man like me. I never asked her to love me like her man. But what can I do when she never wanted to see anything else than her man in me. I did not make an initiative. During 3 years I told her again & again that become formally my younger sister to get rid of all such feelings at once. She didn’t agree. I took hundred (almost every) decisions of her life and made her happy beyond her imagination even. But she also took only one decision in her life and her that decision was to make my life miserable only in next births also.

Jaane woh kaise log they jinke pyaar kp pyaar mila

hamne to jab kaliyan maangi, kaanto ka haar mila...

DeviDas(2): CHOON ka UDBHAV (Evolution of Choon)

CHOON ka UDBHAV (Evolution of Choon)

Jeevan Vritt (CV) likhna tha ek Pratiksharat Pranayakankshi Sundari ka,
Shesh sab tha ati ruchikar , par vishesh kaa nirupan ati kathin thaa,
Roop, Yauvan evam Saundrya ki na to koi hai paribhasha, na hee hai koi maapdand,
Heere kee pahchan to karta hai Jauhari, par Kavi ya Premee hee karta hai roop varnan.

Maryaada hoti hai Lakshman Rekha ke saman, palan hota hai uska shreyaskar,
Agar Ravana ne todi hoti maryada, to vo bhee ho jata bhashm tatkshan jalkar,
Sutradhar kee maryada ka sadaiv hee hota hai takrav premee kee aakansha se,
Janm leta hai koi roop evam saundrya ka parkhee kavi tab samay kee kokh se,

Kavi kee massom drishti painee thee magar, Pratham nirupan hota hai ati-sunder,
Gaur varna, Mrignayani ke teekhe the nak naksh aur vaani bhee thee ati-chanchal
Prateeksha ki Parchhai aur chinta ke baadlon mein mano koi chaand chhipa ho,
Privesh ati-sadharan par kya kisee Pariyon kee Rani se kam thee wo

Teekshna medha, tatpar buddhi aur tark-vitark sab kuchh to tha badh chadh kar
Bhangimaye itni aakarshak ki sreshtha kakakar bhee seekh le najdeek aakar
CHOON iss advitiya lavanyamayi sundari ka naam maine rakh diya,
Tula ( Libra) iskee rashi thee, isliye Aries kavi bhee mugdh ho gaya,

Kavi agar rahta tatashth to saundrya bhee rah jata neeras,
Roop ko aur nikharne hetu kavi ko bhi hona pada saras,
Yauvan lene laga angdai, aur kaya par chhayi tarunai
Kapolon par aa gayi lalima, aur adhron par muskan aai

Tabhee koi anubhavi chhayakar aaya,
Roop ke iss sagar ko dekh muskaraya
Kai kone banakar anek tasveer kheenchi
Do-teen vaisi bhi jinki koi tulna hi nahin thi

Kavi in tasveeron ko dekhkar ho gaya bhav vibhor
Naya nirupan hua ‘advitiya roop se bhi sundar’
Yuvkon ke anek nivedan pratidin aane lage,
Choon ke bhi nakhre, har roz naya rang dikhane lage

Dhanya hain vo Mata-Pita, jinhone iss kanya ko Janm diya
Heera tha unki jholi mein, jise unhone patthar samajh liya
Parinay ke bazaar mein roopvati kanya ki aaj bhi maang hai
Choon to na keval Saundarya mein apitu buddhi mein bhi bebak hai

Kavi ke aagrah par Guruji ke shreshthtam shishya bhi padhare
Gyani bhi aur Gayak bhi, aur Guruji ke bhi the bade dulare
Sampoorna Deeksha iss Jatadhari Shisya ne pradan kee
Par Choon ne ahankar taja nahin sab kuchh jankar bhee

Tabhee mujhe ho gaya tha spashta
Yah Ladki mujhe degi bahut kashta
November 2000 ka jab yah maheena aaya
tab maine jana ki kya Khoya kya paya

CHOON = CH (and) + (m) OON

CHOON is like OM in my spiritual journey.

Choon is a “Gateway to Creativity” in my life.

When I see a glimpse of her very special smile and then I become focussed in my ‘Personal Deity’ to make some new realization or to grab some innovative/intuitive idea.

She was not only having an exceptionally beautiful, charming, vivacious face but a musical voice also although was not a singer. I am a lover of music and was a good singer also. Sometimes she used to speak continuosly in a passionate manner while I used to drown myself completely in her melodious voice without catching the words spoken by her. I used to feel if Bells of a temple are ringing or the Birds are chirping in the evening of a deep forest far away.

When she used to ask me- are you listening what I am saying? I used to say her- Go on… I am listening and enjoying all your choon-choon including the melody and music contained in it. When you speak like this then I feel if a Love bird is doing choon-choon to please & arouse her mate. Do you know that you can please & arouse me instantly from thousands miles away always? She said yes, I know it since last many lives. One day I said you are “My Choon”, and she said no one can ever provide me a better gift than this name given by you. ( I don't know if she has forgotton this name also, like she erased me from her memories).

Later I gave one more description of CHOON to her. You are much more beautiful than Chand or Moon, and CHOON is very special because it consists of CHAND as well as MOON as under:

CHOON = CH (and) + (m) OON

But at this time she was engaged and fell in love with a man, who was yet to be seen by her, therefore she could not make an acknowledgement properly, what to think of any matching compliment.

…..and I am left to live rest of my life with this song only, which brought two tears in her very broad and beautiful eyes, when sung by me once to provide a glimpse of my future:

Kahin door jab din dhal jaaye

Saanjh ki dulhan najar churaye

..............

.............

I know very well our society & world but my pain is not a result of their ill will or wrong doings. Pain is my Destiny or is a result of my bad luck only. Now I love this Pain becoz it was also gifted to me by “My Choon” as her last but most precious gift.

Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahin milta….

Kabhi Jamin to kabhi aasmaan nahin milta…

DeviDas(3): Wo jab yaad aaye…bahut yaad aaye…
by: Dev Daas on Sep 3 2004 2:46PM

Wo jab yaad aaye…bahut yaad aaye…
Gam-e jindagi andhere mein gumsum…
Charag-e muhabbat jalaye bujhaye…
Aahtein jag uthi raaste jag uthe…
Thamkar dil uthe ham kisi ke liye…
Kai baar aisa bhi dhokha hua hai
Chale aa rahen wo nazarein jhukaye

Dil sulgane laga, ashq bahne lage
Na jane kya kya hame log kahne lage
Magar rote rote hame hansi aa gayi hai
Khyalon mein aakar wo jab muskaraye

Wo juda kya hue, jindagi kho gayee..
Shama jalti rahi, roshni kho gayee..
Bahut koshishein ke magar jee na bahla
Kai saaz chhede kai geet gaye ….

Wo jab yaad aaye bahut yaad aaye.

Her father was my casual friend since 1988, although he was elder to me by 15 years. But Mr. Singh was a typical Rajput, who loved his moustaches more than his family. He used to consider him a very smart Businessman but in fact he was just a broker type with no business skills. He landed himself in financial trouble and at every time I helped him to come out of mess by extending every support including the monetary. But he was a good listener and I used to enjoy talking to him for hours on various issues mainly the political, religious & social.

By virtue of this purely Casual Friendship I also visited her house on a number of occasions between 1988 and 1997, but I never saw her properly even except a casual glance. I was exceptionally conservative in looking and talking to females. Never a dialogue was exchanged between me and Mrs. Singh even except formal greetings. There was no question of having any dialogue with Gudiya. All I know that Mr. Singh has a pretty daughter and two sons. We never discussed families in our talk. We also did not talk much on our Business activities. Only when he used to land into a mess then he used to tell me. It happened very often and I succeeded every time him bringing out of mess.

His wife and daughter become very much impressed by role in December 1996, when I rescued Mr.Singh once again brilliantly. This time most of the discussions took place in their house and all family members therefore closely watched my performance. I used to write in a local Newspaper also a regular column and articles, and Gudiya displayed some interest in my writings, which I provided to her. She wanted to translate them in English as she was an MA in English, but failed to do so, but during such discussions I become aware of her intelligence and charming communicative skills.

In Feb’1997, Mr.Singh asked for my help in looking for a suitable groom for her daughter and disclosed her age also. She was 25 at that time. I scolded Singh for being so late and casual in this matter. I told him that she does not look more than 22/23 years . Thereafter I sent her Bio-data & photo to one of my batch mate, who was a lecturer at one of IIT, and a Rajput by caste.

In March 1997, a Palmist came to their house to tell their fate along with one brother of Singh. He left after some time but discussion continued between us later on also. Singh told me that his younger son has a very unusual hand. I also had casual knowledge & interest in palmistry, therefore desired to see his hand. I also found it very typical and made some observations. But then suddenly Gudiya also placed her hand in my hand and requested in a most charming manner to say something.

But I was speechless for some seconds at her such daring attempt and thereafter felt tremendous passion due to warmth of such a soft touch of her very beautiful & transparent hand. After some time she again gone back to her chair but the message was transpired by her very clearly & cleverly. I also felt a tremendous arousal afterwards just like a fiery male should feel. I came home but could not become free from those feelings, which were looking very insane to me. On one side there was the natural invitation of a most beautiful and vivacious female like Gudiya, who was only 12 years younger to me. While on the other side all my Dharma, traditions, idealism, wife, two kids, friend etc etc. I oscillated between all kinds of thoughts for ¾ days, without going there. Then I decided to pursue my all duties including those towards her in spite of her such gesture.

DeviDas (4): Prakriti aur Niyati ( Nature & Destiny)

by: Dev Daas on Sep 4 2004 12:18PM

Meri rag rag mein koi barf si lahar aai thee
Jab tere marmari hathon ko chhua tha maine
But I succeeded in crushing and curbing all those feelings of LOVE, which were considered insane by my mind at that time. I decided not to read much into her such gestures and become a bit more careful in future so that any such thing is not repeated.

Famous Hindi play writer Jay Shankar Prasad wrote in ‘Janamejaya’ that-

Manushya ‘Prakarti ka anuchar’ evam ‘Niyati ka Das’ hai.

I may have conquered those ‘feelings’ temporarily but Gudiya also succeeded in conquering my heart to some extent. She was not the liability of her father now. I was more interested & worried in seeing thru her marriage but only with a deserving & matching male. My concern for her marriage was not of casual type but it has become my Project # 1. Gudiya was not only an exceptionally beautiful girl but was also very feminine and natural female. But her father/ family was not having any status and money to meet the necessary expenditure of marriage what to think of giving any dowry.

I always opposed the social evils like Casteism and Dowry and I my marriage was also an inter-caste love marriage only, but even then I failed to imagine the real nuances of Dowry till I took the responsibility of Gudiya’s marriage. Such a beautiful & natural female she was that I may have took a pledge to marry with her only at the cost of my life even, had I not been a married man. An exceptionally beautiful creation of GOD & NATURE was unmarried, because no man from her Caste was ready to marry with her in view of most dirty customs of Hindu Society like DOWRY and the FAMILY STATUS. It is possible only in India and may not be so in most backward nations even.

Singhji was financially weak but even then he was a good socialite. I frankly asked him & his wife- whether they had received any proposal from any of their big circle of relatives & friends in past? They told that everyone is aware of our financial condition therefore no proper proposal came except one from a Lawyer friend of Singh for his Lawyer son. But Gudiya declined to marry with the Boy becoz she does not want to marry with a lawyer. Then I spoke to Gudiya. She told me that it is not true that she has any reservations about marrying with a Lawyer but she didn’t liked the BOY and feel that she will never be happy with him. Her conviction came true as only last year (2003), when I read the News of the suicide by the newly wed wife of the said boy, because the Boy was having many extra-marital affairs. I thanked God because Gudiya was really saved from this guy.

Gradually I learnt that Singhji was not really an innocent person, when one day he told me frankly that Gudiya is her headache only, and he would have been happy if she had run away with some guy. He used to have occasional fight with her daughter in such kind of frustration. He also wanted her to pursue some JOB to earn something to help the family. He wanted me to convince Gudiya, because she has lot of respect for me. I also felt that such an expectation is not out of place. I convinced her to try and she got an interview call from a private company. She attended the interview and came back with appointment letter in her hand. I congratulated her, but she was not too happy. I asked why you are not excited since you got it in your first attempt only.

Then she told me- Uncle, they called me for interview but they did not ask anything except my family circumstances. I feel that they are giving me this offer because I am good looking but belong to a poor family. Promoters were young chaps only and asking me if I can work after office hours also at some occasions. Tears came to my eyes; I took appointment letter from her hand and tore it. I told her that ‘Do not worry’, I am with you, and God is with me. I will not ask you to look for a job now. But I feel you need to become a bit busy and go out of home for few hours. So it is better if you go for some Computer Training to improve your skills. It may also be helpful in pursuing the marriage proposals also. I will bear the expenses and she got enrolled herself in the nearby UPTRON computer Institute.

I noticed that she was now too happy, relieved and grateful for this decision. Gradually I noticed she started looking even more beautiful also. I was also very happy to see her happy.

…and thus began the longest conversation of my life with an intelligent, beautiful and very curious female.

Abhi na jao chhodkar….ke dil abhi bhara nahin…..

DeviDas(5): This is AGE of DOWRY and not the AGE of SWANYWAR

by: Dev Daas on Sep 5 2004 2:06PM

In May 97, my lecturer friend of IIT expressed his inability in looking for a suitable match for Gudiya in his circls, becoz he was occupied with his Ph.D. thesis work. Singhji was now least worried because he knew that I will arrange the marriage of her daughter since I always succeed in my projects. I also thought initially that it may not be very difficult because Gudiya was not only exceptionally beautiful only but also an intelligent and vivacious girl. But the response on the bio-data & photo sent by me in response to groom’s advt was only lukewarm only.

I was wondering how to proceed further?

Then I decided to put her Mat advt in the TOI, but conservative Singh couple was not even ready for this also, becoz in their family/ caste such was not the tradition.

Then I told them it is not the ‘Age of Swanywar’ my dears in Hinduism. Divine Hindu Society has entered into the ‘Age of Dowry’ after independence. RSS/ VHP etc. can dare to break the Mosques, but none of them is willing and having guts to BREAK this social evil of Dowry, which is only a recent invention of the innovative & genius Hindus belonging to 20th century.

I also asked them how they want to proceed if they don’t believe in Matrimonial advt. They had no answer and finally agreed to put the advt in the TOI, by giving my address and telephone numbers only. Only God and Gudiya know that I was more worried about her marriage than his parents at all the times. This was the main reason for her developing a very soft corner in her heart for me, which she started expressing by now.

I was not really interested in appreciation initially but her narration was so charming that I also developed a taste for it. I wanted to finish the JOB in a business like manner but she liked my sincerity and efforts so much that she probably fell in LOVE with me. I knew that something is going on in her heart but even then I was not giving her any chance to derail me by her divine beauty, musical voice, charming mannerism, ever present smile. I wanted to remain content what GOD has given to me – to look at so much beauty so closely. She was exceptionally beautiful could have been recognized by a blind person even, but she has tremendous RAW intellect also was only known to me. No one else knew it. What to mention of her parents, even Gudiya was unaware of this bountiful gift of nature/ god to her.

I wanted to give a shape to this Raw intellect, which failed to find an expression in her 2nd degree of M.A. ( English ) due to various struggles & constraints. She did a diploma in Fashion Designing also from a local Instt, but our town was not appropriate to offer any opportunity in this area. Computer Classes proved a good engagement & experience but she was having different kind of attributes. TV artist/ Modeling were the best career for her but it was out of question in view of her most orthodox and conservative family, although she was not opposed to such an idea. Finally, her Communication skills and logic power prompted me to suggest her to enroll for the Law Degree course. She hesitated but agreed when I told her that I will help her as I also have a legal mind.

Books were bought and fees were paid but then she started insisting me also to get enrolled along with her. I was taken aback by her this proposal.

Me: Are you become crazy? Have you thought of consequences of it? In such a backward town we will become the topic of gossip of all people. Not only you but I will also become BADNAM. Will your parents agree for it?

Gudiya : I will convince my parents. They have full faith in me. I don’t care- what others will say. But I will not do LLB if you will not accompany.

Me: Gudiya, Just think of my wife/kids also, who trust me so much, that she did not raised any doubts/ objections, when some phone calls related to your Matrimonial advt were received by her in my absence. I don’t think she will take it kindly if she will come to know that both of us are enrolled for Law. I think it will also help in marriage if you pursue some professional degree like this.

Gudiya : Then leave it. It is not possible for me to study Law alone. I can do it only if you will also take admission, otherwise no question of my going to college any more.

Me: But I am not stupid like you. How can I commit such a blunder when I am fully aware of the consequences of it for both of us? I am your well wisher and not enemy. Don’t go to college if can’t do anything independently. But let me tell you that life is very tough now; it’s a celebration only for them only, who accept challenge.

Finally she dropped the idea to become a law student and my mind started exploring other options becoz pursuing her matrimonial alliance in the given circumstances was very difficult only.

Kaise kahen ham….pyar ne unke
Kya..kya..khel khilaye…..
Kyun sharmai kismet hamse
Khud se ham sharmaye

…..to be contd…..

DeviDas(6): Aaj kee Mulakat bas itni ….
by: Dev Daas on Sep 8 2004 4:34PM

I don’t know if it was due to the feeling of love, which she got developed for me or there was any other reason when I felt that she is much more beautiful than those photographs which I used to send for her matrimonial alliance so far.

I told her father to have her fresh Photographs so that her beauty is reflected properly in the photos, becoz we have only one aspect of her exceptional beauty & feminity only by which we can win someone who wants to worship the beauty only.

After 2/3 days Singh told me that she is not ready to have fresh photos. Then I told him that we are not getting proper response on our proposals and I feel we can definitely get the response of NRI boys’ setteled in US, who are after beauty than anything else. I don’t know what Singh was having in his mind since he told me that kindly you convince her. If you will ask her then she will agree to fresh photos. I was astonished to listen it. I told him when you and your wife failed then why she will listen me. Singh used to speak very less. He told me what the harm is if you also try.

I was in a dilemma for a few days but finally I decided to request and convince her once. I never interacted with her so long so far ONE -to-ONE but today Singh went outside after leaving me at his house, and his wife went inside her room. Gudiya was left alone with me for nearly an hour. When I looked at her today she appeared much more beautiful and cheerful than any previous occasion. Ek baar mujhe laga ki main sab kuchh bhul gaya hoon. But immediately I recollected myself, becoz I was on a business mission and not to watch the beauty or love her.

Dialogue started as under:

Me: Look Gudiya, you are not a kid now. You are already approaching 25 and belong to a poor middle class family, who has no money to meet the necessary marriage expenditures even then what to think of dowry. You of course have a brilliant mind but your educational qualifications are just very ordinary. Today Boys are looking for professionally qualified girls while you are just M.A. (English). But one thing I noticed in you due to which I also took this case in my hand and it was your extra ordinary, rather exceptional beauty. Your old college time photos does not reflect properly your face even, what to mention of these extra-ordinary features you have. I don’t think we can get any proper response on the basis of these photos from an Indian Army Officer even what to think of from some US employed software engineer.

Our case rest only on this aspect of your beauty only because we don’t have any thing else. Papa has no money, no proper employment, no own house, car etc. You are also neither professionally qualified nor employed somewhere. You left the LLB classes even. How you think your marriage will materialize if you will not agree for a fresh photo even.

(Gudiya brought a very charming smile on her face after listening my so much complaints and preachings, as if she was aware of everything, which I will say.Then she started.)

Gudiya: I wanted to talk to you. You are very sincere, Papa was never sincere therefore I also left any interest in my life. But I am not like this as you have assumed, I also have ambitions. I am very different from other girls. I also want to do something in my life. I would have gone for a Job to support my family also but not in this town. You also know why?

I was born and lived at the Nani’s house during childhood. Papa did not have any job at that time. We came to this town when I was 5/6 years old and due to this reaon my education also started late. We always lived in lot of financial constraints. Mammi wanted to earn but Papa did not allowed. They used to fight every time and being the eldest child of the family it was always fell upon me to restore peace and happiness in our house. I always succeeded due to my communicative skills but now I had also lost the hopes because of Papa, who has been befooled by every friend/ associate of him, with whom he had business dealings.

He wanted to marry me with the son of his lawyer friend to whom I never liked. So what if they are rich and he is the only son. I am not after money or material comforts. I knew that I will never be happy there, so I firmly refused and Papa has become annoyed with me from that day.

(I knew her Father’s handicaps very well; therefore I become convinced by her narration. I got to the root cause of the problem that this family is deeply fallen into the trap of mistrust due to financial problems mainly. So I have to remove their mistrust also now to succeed in my project.)

Me: Gudiya, I can understand because I know your father very well. But instead of pointing out his weakness and limitations it would have been better if you should have extended a helping hand to him.

Gudiya: I always wanted to help her in his business but he never trusted me.

Me: Gudiya, I got everything now and shall also try to restore trust & confidence in your family in future as far as possible, but why you are not having new photographs?

Gudiya: I have just refused Papa but as such I don’t have any reservations in having new photos. But I will only have them if you will also accompany.

Me: What I will do there. You can go with your Mother or Brothers also, if you don’t want to go alongwith your Papa.

Gudiya: No, I will go to Studio only if you will accompany. Moreover, at Sccoter, my Make up may go haywire.

Me: Okay, I will accompany you provided your mother also accompany.

Gudiya: That’s fine.

I did’nt saw her so much happy earlier. She talked to me on many other things/ topics on that day, and also complimented me to say so many good things in such a convincing but non-imposing style. She also thanked me for taking so much concern / interest in her marriage and said that she now hope to get married.

I also felt in my heart that this brilliant girl of this family will brought not only respect but wealth also to her bewildered and depressed family. I must try to help her to secure her place in the society.

She wanted to talk more and more and I was also feeling a bit hypnotised now by her beauty, charms, mannerism and musical voice.

Since I was duty bound therefore took a leave.

Aaj kee Mulakat bas itni ….
Kal kar lena chahe baaten jitnee…

DeviDas(7): Chandan sa badan…chanchal chitvan…

by: Dev Daas on Sep 9 2004 9:07AM

It was a hot day of June 1997, when I arrived at their home at appointed time in the evening to take Gudiya for a photograph. I was sitting in the drawing room and after a few minutes wait Gudiya appeared in her dark color Salwarsuit with a little make up on her face. She asked me how I am looking. I was having no words to explain my feelings, becoz I saw her in normally casual wears so far and never imagined that she can look to be a so gorgeous princess like beauty in formal attires. I replied to her that I always thought you are exceptionally beautiful and today I have no words to explain, but I am certainly very much impressed by the choice of your cloths & their matching color and light make up, you are wearing today. I failed to say that her thin lips with a little lipstick were looking like the leaves of a rose. Then I told her that let’s prey to God that whatever I am seeing now is properly catched by the Camera also because then only our job will become a bit easy. Are you Mom is also ready to give you a company. She said yes and after a few minutes we came downstairs.

I was driving the Car myself. I thought Gudiya will sit with her Mother, at the back seat but she preferred to give me a company at the front seat. I told her that she should not be concerned of any formality in this matter and she can very well occupy the back seat alongwith her mother, if she feel more comfortable. But she said- I will go to back seat if you have any problem, but otherwise it is okay with me. I said no…no, sit wherever you like but kindly don’t agitate and argue on these trivial matters. You need to be cheerful from inside also to have the best photographs and today we are going to have one most important photo session of your life.

She sat with me in front and assured me that everything will be fine as God blessed her last night in the dreams. She had accompanied me before also alongwith her father in my car, but today I was definitely not at ease while driving. She was looking extremely gorgeous beauty and my attention used to get divert very often. I was also feeling a bit proud to be with such a beauty. Some wild thoughts also came to my mind that had I not been a married man then I would have taken every kind of risk to have this wonderful female as my companion only. I also laughed at Hindu Caste System & Traditions also, who have no place/ scope for such wonderful creations of nature/ God. Hindus will like to use beautiful female as DevDasis or concubines only while for marriage they go for many other criterias.

Studio was selected by her only, which was situated in a narrow lane. When we arrived then she told me to get down out of car becoz we have to walk a few steps in the lane now. I teased her saying that now I can imagine why you did not had good photos earlier. But she told me – Aaiye to. He is a very good photographer and he is known to her since college times, where he had taken their group photographs. I suggested her name of best studio of town, but she was adamant and told me to see it at once.

After passing thru the bylanes, we arrived at the house-cum-studio of the photographer. It was a cool & informal kind of place than a busy & usual studio of the Market Place. I appreciated her choice in my heart and then she brought the Studio’s album to show me. I had a glance thru it and approved her choice of the studio. The studio was having a separate make up room and both ladies entered there. After a few minutes Gudiya was ready for the photopgraph.

I never thought that she had done lot of planning for this event. The first session of nearly six photos was completed in the Studio Room only. When I wanted to go outside the room, she asked me to stay back. I found the Photographer very professional for such kind of photos especially of females. I spoke a few words of this kind but she caught me to argue that he is also very good with Male also and I must try him today.

Next session of 6 photos was planned in open area outside, where few plants were also available. Here the photos are to be taken in informal and slightly stylish pose. She requested me to pose first so that he can also have my photos to convince me about his talents. I told her that why you want to make a joke of me here. I am married and don’t need any special photos now. But she insisted and to keep her in good humor I agreed for a mini session of 2 photos in the standing mode. Naturally I was looking at the giggles of Gudiya only when the Photographer catched me in his camera.

After succeeded in my ragging Gudiya was very delighted and cheerful and I thought everything happens for some good cause only and perhaps her photos will be best now because she is in her best humor now. I also stayed around. Photographer asked her to smile, and she gave a perfect smile instantly, which was recorced by the camera. Then he asked for a giggle so that his beautiful rows of teath also become visible slightly and so on. I watched her performance and felt that she is 100% suitable for a perfect Model Job also, because within 5 minites she completed all the assignments without giving any trouble or irritation to the very experienced photographer. Photographer was also happy to tell that he is very much satisfied by the performance/ co-operation received from Gudiya and is very much hopeful to provide us some very good photographs after 2 days. I thanked him and returned back to drop Gudiya and her Mom at their house.

Gudiya was exceptionally intelligent on reading the people. She perhaps realized today that Uncle is not as tough as he poses in the matters of male –female attaraction. May be some of my frank comments about her beauty & talents to boost her morale & confidence also helped her to reach at this conclusion. May be she read a real appreciation of her beauty in my eyes, which was definitely much more than what I had described in words so far. She perhaps also realized that today she had successfully made a dent in the heart of this man, who considers himself invincible by any beautiful female even i.e. next to sage VishvaMitra.

When we arrived at home then I wanted to leave them at downstairs only but she insisted to have a cup of tea before going. I could not resist her charm and request today, which was not difficult for me on any other day. I also went upstairs. For last few days I noticed she never used to miss my presence in their house for a minute even. Even if I was talking to her father, then she used to remain present and try to listen every word spoken by me carefully without making any interference.

She asked her Mom to infom her when water is hot so that she may do the rest. She wanted to prepare TEA for myself but do not want to spend an extra single second in the kitchen than minimum required. She just wanted to make best use of every minute spent alongwith me. Her Mom informed, when water boiled and she went to kitchen to prepare the tea for me.

I was also delighted by my so much concern for me. And my heart was beating a little fast today due to some feelings as under:

Chanchal sa badan…chanchal chitvan…
Dheere se tera ye muskana……….
Mujhe dosh na dena jagwalon ….
Ho jaaun agar mein deewana….

Ye maan Kaman bhaven teri..
Palkon ke kinare kajrare…
Mathe par sindoori upvan..
Othhon ke dahkate angare..

And she was back with tea in the next minute to start a fresh round of some innovative, intuitive and interesting discussion because she was fully aware of my love for all kind of hot drinks & discussions including tea.

...to be contd...

MODERN WOMAN : A Creation of MAN or NATURE ?

by: Dev Daas on Sep 9 2004 10:22PM in

WOMAN - Rabindranath Tagore

(This is a beautiful essay delivered by Tagore on Women… It is pathetic to see women becoming more like men, trying to fit in men's world, when it should be the other way around. Human Civilisation would have been very different if woman would have played the lead role as wished by the Nature. )

WOMAN - Rabindranath Tagore

WHEN male creatures indulge in their fighting propensity to kill one another Nature connive at it, because, comparatively speaking, females are needful to her purpose, while males are barely necessary. Being of an economic disposition she does not specially care for the hungry broods who are quarrelsomely voracious and who yet contribute very little towards the payment of Nature's bill. Therefore in the insect world we witness the phenomenon of the females taking it upon themselves to keep down the male population to the bare limit of necessity.

But because greatly relieved of their responsibility to Nature, the males in the human world have had the freedom of their occupation and adventures. The definition of the human being is said to be that he is the tool-making animal. This tool-making is outside of Nature's scope.

In fact, with our tool-making power we have been able to defy Nature. The human male there must be balance of proportion, must be having the most part of his energies free, developed this power, and became formidable. Thus, though in the vital department of humanity the ideal of stability is deeply cherished in woman still occupies the throne given to her woman's nature. She is never in love With by Nature, man in the mental department has created and extended his own dominion. For this great work detachment of mind and freedom of movement were necessary.

Man took advantage of his comparative freedom from the physical and emotional bondage and marched unencumbered towards his extension of life's boundaries. In this he has travelled through the perilous path of revolutions and ruins. Time after time his accumulations have been swept away and the current of progress has disappeared at its source. Though the gain has been considerable yet the waste in comparison has been still more enormous, especially when we consider that much of the wealth when vanished, has taken away the records with it. Through this repeated experience of disasters man has discovered, though he has not fully utilized, the truth, that in all his creations the rhythm has to be maintained to save them from destruction; that a mere unlimited augmentation of power does not lead to real progress, and there must be balance of proportion, must be harmony of the structure with foundation, to indicate a real growth in truth.

This ideal of stability is deeply cherished in woman's nature. She is never in love with merely going on, shooting wanton arrows of curiosity into the heart of darkness. All her forces instinctively work to bring things to some shape of fullness, - for that is the law of life. In life's movement though nothing is final yet every step has its rhythm of completeness. Even the bud has its ideal of rounded perfection, so has the flower, and also the fruit. But an unfinished building has not that ideal of whol eness itself. Therefore if it goes on indefinitely in its growth of dimensions, it gradually grows out of its standard of stability. The masculine creations of intellectual civilization are towers of Babel, they dare to defy their foundations and therefore topple down over and over again. Thus human history is growing up over layers of ruins; it is not a continuous life growth. The present was is an illustration of this. The economic and political organizations, which merely represent mechanical power, born of intellect, are apt to forget their centers of gravity in the foundational world of life. The cumulative greed of power and possession which can have no finality of completeness in itself, which has no harmony with the id eal of moral and spiritual perfection, must at last lay a violent hand upon its own ponderousness of material.

At the present stage of history civilization is almost exclusively masculine, a civilization of power, in which woman has been thrust aside in the shade. Therefore it has lost its balance and it is moving by hopping from war to war. Its motive forces are the forces of destruction, and its ceremonials are carried through by an appalling number of human sacrifices. This one-sided civilization is crashing along a series of catastrophes at a tremendous speed because of its one-sidedness. And at last the time has arrived when woman must step in and impart her life rhythm to this reckless movement of power.

For woman's function is the passive function of the soil, which not only helps the tree to grow but keeps its growth within limits. The tree must have life's adventure and send up and spread out its branches on all sides, but all its deeper bonds of rela tion are hidden and held firm in the soil and this helps it to live. Our civilization must also have its passive elements broad and deep and stable. It must not be mere growth but harmony of growth. It must not be all tune but it must have its time also. This time is not a barrier, it is what the banks are to the river; they guide into permanence the current which otherwise would lose itself in the amorphousness of morass. It is rhythm, the rhythm which does not check the world's movements but leads them into truth and beauty.

Woman is endowed with the passive qualities of chastity, modesty, devotion and power of self sacrifice in a greater measure than man is. It is the passive quality in nature which turns its monster forces into perfect creations of beauty - taming the wild elements into the delicacy of tenderness fit for the service of life. This passive quality has given woman that large and deep placidity which is so necessary for the healing and nourishing and storing of life. If life were all spending, then it would be like a rocket, going up in a flash and coming down the next moment in ashes. Life should be like a lamp where the potentiality of light is far greater in quantity than what appears as the flame. It is in the depth of passiveness in woman's nature that thi s potentiality of life is stored.

I have said elsewhere that in the woman of the Western world a certain restlessness is noticed which cannot be the normal aspect of her nature. For women who want something special and violent in their surroundings to keep their interests active only prov e that they have lost touch with their own true world. Apparently, numbers of women as well as men in the West condemn the things that are commonplace. They are always hankering after something which is out of the common, straining their powers to produce a spurious originality that merely surprises though it may not satisfy. But such efforts are not a real sign of vitality. And they must be more injurious to women than to men, because women have the vital power more strongly in them than men have. They a re the mothers of the race, and they have a real interest in the things that are around them, that are the common things of life; if they did not have that, then the race would perish.

If, by constantly using outside stimulation, they form something like a mental drug habit, become addicted to a continual dram-drinking of sensationalism, then they lose the natural high sensibility which they have, and with it the bloom of their womanhood, and their real power to sustain the human race with what it needs the most.

A man's interest in his fellow-beings becomes real when he finds in them some special gift of power or usefulness, but a woman feels interest in her fellow -beings because they are living creatures, because they are human, not because of some particular purpose which they can serve, or some power which they possess and for which she has a special admiration. And because woman has this power, she exercises such charm over our minds; her exuberance of vital interest is so attractive that it makes her speech , her laughter, her movement, everything graceful; for the note of gracefulness is in this harmony with all our surrounding interests.

Fortunately for us, our everyday world has the subtle and un-obstrusive beauty of the commonplace, and we have to depend upon our own sensitive minds to realize its wonders which are invisible because spiritual. If we can pierce through the exterior, we f ind that the world in its commonplace aspects is a miracle.

We realize this truth intuitively through our power of love; and women, through this power, discover that the object of their love and sympathy, in spite of its ragged disguise of triviality, has infinite worth. When women have lost the power of interest in things that are common, then leisure frightens them with its emptiness, because, their natural sensibilities being deadened, there is nothing in their surroundings to occupy their attention. Therefore they keep themselves frantically busy, not in utilizing the time, merely in filling it up.

Our everyday world is like a reed, its true value is not in itself, but those who have the power and the serenity of attention can hear the music which the Infinite plays through its very emptiness. But women form the habit of valuing things for themselves, then they may be expected furiously to storm your mind, to decoy your soul from her love-tryst of the eternal and to make you try to smother the voice of the Infinite by unmeaning rattle of ceaseless movement.

I do not mean to imply that domestic life is the only life for a woman. I mean that the human world is the woman's world, be it domestic or be it full of the other activities of life, which are human activities, and not merely abstract efforts to organize.

Wherever there is something which is concretely personal and human, there is woman's world. The domestic world is the world where every individual finds his worth as an individual, therefore his value is not the market value, but the value of love; that is to say, the value that God in his infinite mercy has set upon all his creatures. This domestic world has been the gift of God to woman. She can extend her radiance of love beyond its boundaries on all sides, and even leave it to prove her woman's nature when the call comes to her. But this is a truth which cannot be ignored, that the moment she is born in her mother's arms, she is born in the centre of her own true world, the world of human relationships.

Woman should use her power to break through the surface and go to the centre of things, where the mystery of life dwells an eternal source of interest. Man has not this power to such an extent. But woman has it, if she does not kill it -and therefore she lo ves creatures who are not lovable for their uncommon qualities. Man has to do his duty in a world of his own where he is always creating power and wealth and organizations of different kinds. But God has sent woman to love the world, which is a world of ordinary things and events. She is not in the world of the fairy tale where the fair woman sleeps for ages till she is touched by the magic wand. In God's world women have their magic wands everywhere, which keep their hearts awake, -and these are not the golden wands of wealth nor the iron rods of power.

All our spiritual teachers have proclaimed the infinite worth of the individual. It is the rampant materialism of the present age which ruthlessly sacrifices individuals to the blood- thirsty idols of organization. When religion was materialistic, when me n worshipped their gods for fear of their malevolence, or for greed of wealth and power, then the ceremonies of worship were cruel and sacrifices were claimed without number. With the growth of man's spiritual life, our worship has become the worship of love.

At the present stage of civilization, when the mutilation of individuals is not only practised, but glorified, women are feeling ashamed of their own womanliness. For God, with his message of love, has sent them as guardians of individuals, and, in this their divine vocation, individuals are more to them than army and navy and parliament, shops and factories. Here they have their service in God's own temple of reality, where love is of more value than power .

But because men in their pride of power have taken to deriding things that are living and relationships that are human, a large number of women are screaming themselves hoarse to prove that they are not women, that they are true where they represent power and organization. In the present age they feel that their pride is hurt when they are taken as mere mothers of the race, as the ministers to the vital needs of its existence, and to its deeper spiritual necessity of sympathy and love.

Because men praise with pious unctuousness the idolatry of their manufactured images of abstractions, women in shame are breaking their own true God, who is waiting for his worship of self-sacrifice in love.

Changes have been going on for a long time underneath the solid crust of society on which woman's world has its foundation. Of late, with the help of science, civilization has been growing increasingly masculine, so that the full reality of the individual is more and more ignored. Organization is encroaching upon the province of personal relationship, and sentiment f is giving way to law. In some societies, too much dominated by masculine ideals, infanticide prevailed, which ruthlessly kept down the female element of the population as low as possible. The same thing in another form has taken place in modern civilization. In its inordinate lust for power and wealth it has robbed woman of the most part of her world, and the home is every day being crowded out by the office. It is taking the whole world for itself, leaving hardly any room for woman. It is not merely inflicting injury but insult upon her.

But woman cannot be pushed back for good into the mere region of the decorative by man's aggressiveness of power. For she is not less necessary in civilization than man but possibly more so. In the geological history of earth the periods of gigantic catac lysms have passed when the earth had not attained that mellowness of maturity which despises all violent exhibition of force. And the civilization of competing commerce and fighting powers must also make room for that stage of perfection whose power lies deep in beauty and beneficence. Too long has ambition been at the helm of our history, so that every right of the individual has had to be wrenched by force from the party in power and man has had to invoke the help of evil to attain what was good for him. But such an arrangement cannot be lasting, but must give way time after time; for the seeds of violence lie in wait in its cracks and crevices, and roots of disruption spread in the dark and cause break down when it is least expected.

Therefore although in the present stage of history man is asserting his masculine supremacy and building his civilization with stone blocks, ignoring the living principle of growth, he can not altogether crush woman's nature into dust or into his dead bui lding materials. Woman's home may have been shattered, but woman is not, and cannot, herself be killed. It is not that woman is merely seeking her freedom of livelihood, struggling against man's monopoly of business, but against man's monopoly of civiliza tion where he is breaking her heart every day and desolating her life. She must restore the lost social balance by putting the full weight of the woman into the creation of the human world. The monster car of organization is creaking and growling alone life's highway, spreading misery and mutilation, for it must have speed before everything else in the world. Therefore woman must come into the bruised and maimed world of the individual; she must claim each one of them as her own, the useless and the insignificant. She must protect with her care all the beautiful flowers of sentiment from the scorching laughter of the science of proficiency. The growing impurities, born of the deprivation of its normal conditions imposed upon life by the organized power of greed, she must sweep away. The time has come when woman's responsibility has become greater than ever before, when her field of work has far transcended the domestic sphere of life. The world with its insulted individuals has sent its appeal to her. These individuals must find their true value, raise their heads once again in the sun, and renew their faith in God's love through her love. Men have seen the absurdity of today's civilization, which is based upon nationalism,- that is to say, on economics and politics- and its consequent militarism. Men have been losing their freedom and their humanity in order to fit themselves for vast mechanical organizations. So the next civilization, it is hoped! ! ! ! , will be based not merely upon economical and political competition and exploitation but upon world- wide social co-operation; upon spiritual ideals of reciprocity and not upon economic ideals of efficiency. And then women will have their -true place.

Because men have been building up vast and monstrous organizations they have got into, the habit of thinking that this turning-out power has something of the nature of perfection in itself. The habit is ingrained in them, and it is difficult for them to see where truth is missing in their present ideal of progress. But woman can bring her fresh mind and all her power of sympathy to this new task of building up a spiritual civilization, if she will be conscious of her responsibilities.

Of course, she can be frivolous or very narrow in her outlook, and then she will miss her great mission. And just because woman has been insulated, has been living in a sort of obscurity, behind man, I think she will have her compensation in the civilization which is waiting to come. And these human beings who have been boastful of their power, and aggressive in their exploitation, who have lost faith in the real meaning of the teaching of their Master, that the meek shall inherit the earth, will be defeated in the next generation of life. It is the same thing that happened in the ancient days, in the prehistoric times, to those great monsters like the mammoths and dinosaurs. They have lost their inheritance of the earth. They had the gigantic muscles for mighty efforts but they had to give up to creatures who were much feebler in their muscles and who took up much less space with their dimensions. And in the future civilization also, the women, the feebler creatures, -feebler at least in their outer aspects,-who are less muscular, and who have been behind- hand, always left under the shadow of those huge creatures, the men,-they will have their place, and those bigger creatures will have to give way.

DeviDas(8): AGNI-PARIKSHA-A test to test Woman’s Chastity ??

by: Dev Daas on Sep 10 2004 11:50AM

I don’t know how and when she took liberty to tease me by making comments on me and I also started enjoying pleasures in any kind of conversations with her. Now she started by having a dig at me:

She (with a most naughty smile on her beautiful face): You also wanted to be photographed today becoz you came in formal wears instead of usual casuals. I did not saw you so well dressed for a long time like you are today.

Me: Pagli, Not only that but I also took a bath today after nearly one month in this hot summer because I was going to accompany you. I did all this so that people do not consider me your driver only.

She: No ..no …you are my mentor.Now I will like to hear some serious stuff from you.

Me: But how can I believe you are a serious person when you greet me always by naughty smile, giggle or laugh at every look?

She: I will not smile, if you do not like it.

Me: How can I dislike it when I always say that your smile and vivaciousness is the biggest asset of your personality? I also enjoy it and feel better after talking to you. However, if you want to become serious then read Maths or Marx, becoz I found all the Mathematicians & Marxists are the most serious people on this earth.

She: (with a big laugh): and what about the Lawyers?

Me: They are the real Jokers of Modern World. That’s why I wanted you to persue Law becoz you can also entertain people very well.

She: Okay ..okay…now tell me now something serious also. Why Rama abandoned Sita after the Agni- Pariksha.

Me: Had not Valmiki / Tulsidas etc wrote about this crime of Rama in their epics?

She: That’s okay but what do you think?

Me: Either Rama was an Idiot, who opted for the Agni-Pariksha or the people, who quote this incident as a proof to prove the chastity of Sita, even when Ramayana is not a reference book of History but a poetic epic based on Historical events.

She: Do you want to say that Agni-Pariksha was not a true incident?

Me: Tell me first what you have to say on this episode.

She: I think Rama opted for the Agni-Pariksha to test the Chastity of Sita, who was kidnapped and captivated by the Ravana for a year.

Me: Then what were the findings of this Fire Test?

She: Sita was pure i.e. She was not wronged by the Ravana.

Me: Then as a Hindu female you don’t think Ravana was great, when he did not harmed Sita in spite of captivating her for one long year? I think Hindus should worship Ravana, who controlled his lust at least instead of the Chief Vedic God Indra, who was a habitual Rapist.

She: Who was raped by the Indra?

Me: Ahilya, the wife of Gautam Rishi. She was very beautiful and Indra wanted to enjoy her, so one day he changed his complexion to look like Gautama Rishi to seduce and rape Ahilya. When Gautam Rishi learnt about it then he cursed Ahilya to become stone, which was finally rescued by Rama only.

She: But Hindus generally do not worship Indra.

Me: But maximum Vedic Mantras are dedicated to this rapist Indra only and when you will get married then Priest will chant these Mantras only, who glorify this Satan like Indra.

She: Then I will opt for Arya Samaj style marriage.

Me: Arya Samaj means more such mantras & more Vedic Rituals only. Actually Hindu Karma kand is generally based on Vedic Hymns only. You can not escape worshipping Indra indirectly by any means.

She: But my original question is still unanswered, why Rama abandoned Sita in spite of Agni -Pariksha?

Me: But I don’t believe into a farce like Agni-Pariksha. It was a pure imagination of Valmiki or the manipulation of the later times by the vested interests. If Agni-Pariksha was a good test to examine Woman’s chastity then I am sure many people would have opted for it till today.

She: But how can you disbelieve Agni-Pariksha? If it is so what is the truth according to you?

Me: Give some trouble to your Briliant Brain also, which is grossly under-utilised till date. You are my first SHISHYA and may be the last one also, as I have no plans to become a full fledged Guru. But I hope to answer your any questions or doubts related to any sphere of life.

Achchha to ab chalte hain…
Phir kab aaoge….
Kal ya phir Parson…

I came down and when I looked at the window, which used to open at the roadside then I found her waving from there.

While returning back I felt tremendous sensation in my whole body for the second time due to this girl. I found it impossible to get rid of those feelings till I lay on bed with her sweet memories .

Ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga…
Jaise khilta Gulaab…Jaise Chandi raat…
Jaise subah ki dhoop…
........
........

Thereafter, I felt a bit guilty. I decided to curb & crush all such feelings for her once again. Next Morning I was not only feeling confident about myself, but was also prepared to tackle her if she started developing any soft feelings for me.

….to be contd….

DeviDas(9): Agni-Pariksha vs ‘Dharma’ of Agni ( Fire)

by: Dev Daas on Sep 11 2004 3:06PM

AGNI-PARIKSHA or A ‘Dharma- Sankat’ of Agni Devta( Fire) ????

Although in the morning I decided to visit her house next day only but when evening dawned I felt a great urge to go there. I also imagined her frequent ‘to’ and ‘fro’ movements to the roadside window of her house becoz I knew her very well by now. Moreover there was a pending discussion and an assignment given by me to her, which prompted me make a departure when clock ticked 5 PM.

When I reached there, she was at the roadside window of her first floor house. A broad smile greeted me when I get down from the Car. Her Father’s Scooter was not available in the Portico of this apartment, which meant he is not in the house. I observed slight happiness in my heart with a shade of little guilt.

Before I could knock the door she opened it. I entered and sat on the sofa. Her TV was ON, which was switched OFF by her instantly. I asked about her Papa and she told that he has just left and is expected to be back in an hour only. I thanked God in my heart and also preyed to forgive me because asking for such favors was neither my habit nor could be approved by my conscience. Then I asked if any letter (related to marriage proposals) has come. She replied in negative.

She went inside to bring a glass of water for me. I was at very ease now and noticed that she is looking equally beautiful today also in her simple white suit without any makeup. Yesterday she was wearing a dark color suit and had makeup therefore I thought she looks gorgeous in dark color suits only. But today in a plain white suit also she is looking stunning in spite of having a similar pinkish white color of her skin. Is it due to some soft feeling in my heart or something else? I never found her as magnificent as was noticed by me today & yesterday.

She came back with a water of glass and I raised my hand to take it from her hand. In this way I also got an opportunity to see her more closely and got the answer of my puzzles also. She was wearing a very tiny & smart ‘Bindi’ on her forhead today, as well yesterday, which resulted into a multiplying factor of her exquisiteness. I tempted to reveal my finding to her but then withhold back due to following reason:

Tere Husn kee kya taarif karoon, kuchh kahte hue bhee dil darta hai….kahin bhul se tu ye na samajh baithe ki main tujhse muhabbat karta hoon…..

But my mind was spinning at a very fast speed now and next moment it gave the green signal to disclose my findings because I felt necessary that she should know this kind of Bindi act like a booster to her beauty. Who else than me can tell this thing to her so conclusively and convincingly?

Me: Gudiya, you must wear this kind of ‘Bindi’ as far as possible. It makes lot of difference in your appearance.

She: I also thought of it, and now you are also saying the same thing. Actually I love this kind of Bindis …just wait.

And she was back with some packs of Bindis. I suggested she can buy exclusively the smaller Bindis in future. She appreciated & approved the idea from the Nazron kee Juban se.

She: What will you take to charge your mood, Tea or Coffee?

Me: Coffee spoils my mood therefore tea is the only option forever. But you need not to take trouble always. Your little Master (servant) is also good in making tea for my taste.

She ordered him to boil the water with an instruction to call her when Water boils, so that rest is done by her.

Me: Did you gave some trouble to your brain also to find any suitable, logical and convincing explanation of Fire-Test i.e. Agni-Pariksha incident of Ramayana?

She: I really tried a lot…but can’t give an explanation… but I feel you are also right in a way…

Me: What way?

She: Now you started my leg pulling….tell me what do you think…I am really very curious to know all this…You know that I am very religious person….even then this incident always disturbed my mind. How can Rama be wrong? But how can anyone ignore this mistake of Rama, who abandoned Sita in spite of conducting Agni-pariksha? Do you know that we females discuss a lot this issue of Rama’s life? I asked Mom about it but found no convincing answer. Some time back I also asked our Old Panditji but he also gave some evasive replies only. Please no not pull my legs any more….p l e a s e ….

Although I laughed at her surrender but a very intense intuitive feeling passed thru my mind due to these loveliest gestures made by her that this Girl is gifted by every asset and trait of a most natural female. She may be afraid of leg pulling now because she doesn’t know her real potential. She is capable to seek surrender from any MCP even, while any proud male will only love to kiss her feet only than entertaining any idea of her leg pulling.

Me: I never thought you can surrender so easily. But let me tell you that I am very grateful & thankful to you becoz I also did not had any suitable explanation of these things till you prompted me to find some appropriate answers. Now listen carefully & seriously my only and dear Shishya and give proper answers, if I ask you any thing without making any attempt to divert my attention or smiling too much.

She: (Smiled a bit) Wokay...

Me: First tell me- What is the DHARMA of AGNI i.e. Fire?

She: To burn…burning ….of course.

Me: Yes, the ‘Dharma’ of Agni (Fire) is to burn anything and everything without any discrimination only. It is certainly not the testing the chastity of a married woman like Sita or the virginity of any unmarried Girl. If Agni (Fire) has failed to burn Sita during Agni-Pariksha, then it should also be construed to be a failure of AGNI in discharging its Dharma. Is it possible?

Therefore, if you want to believe an illogic like Agni-Pariksha then you also believe into one more illogic that Agni failed to observe its Dharma. Thus you enter into a vicious circle of ignorance to move towards a Dark Hole only than realizing your Dharma in spite of reading all kinds of Vedas & Dharma Shastras.

She: It’s an excellent explanation. Now I can believe that Agni-Pariksha is only a fabrication or manipulation or at the most an imagination of poet Valmiki, who wanted prove the purity of Sita.

Me: Yeah, it is not proper to create a ‘Dharma Sankat’ (dilemma) before Agni also to echo the men’s view on Women’s sexual conduct & purity and while cleverly leaving the man outside its scope. Fire can never believe in a ‘double yard stick’ like the male sages & priests of those times. All such notions of Female’s virginity and chastity were the creation of Aryan type MCPs only, who have brought the concept of ‘Vedic Dharma’ to defeat the extremely humane and non-discriminatory concept of our ancient SANATAN DHARMA philosophy.

You can take the case of Ahilya for instance? Chief Vedic God Indra was only a reputed sinner and proven criminal, when the wife of a sage become target of his lust and raped by him thru fraud. But what Vedic Rishi like Gautama did to Ahilya? He also cursed or deserted his unfortunate wife for her no crime and fault. He may have been a learned sage of Vedas but was unaware of the pious concepts of ‘Dharma’. He also sinned only, which was proved when Lord Rama decided to rescue Ahilya by touching her, because she was living a life of an outcaste or destitute at that time. By his various acts Rama not only stopped the plight of woman but also disapproved the discriminatory and anti-woman provisions of Vedic Code.

She: We have to follow Lord Rama only because he is our God.

I don’t know if they were God or not, but they were definitely not Goonda, like the chief Vedic God Indra Dev Maharaj. Rama & Krishna, to whom we consider incarnation of God, were definitely & perfectly enlightened souls. They always uphold the spirit of Sanatana Dharma by checking and challenging all sorts of nuances of priest community and and their Brahminism or Vedic Dharma. Rama opted for the route of personal sacrifices to establish the rule of Dharma, while Krishna outrightly rejected all kind of Brahminical non-sense. To remove the confusions caused by Vedas, he provided a very beautiful & short narration of Dharma as contained in Gita. But Gita was also polluted and manipulated by the custodians i.e. Priest community in later times. However, one can still learn a lot about Hindu Dharma or Sanatana Dharma.

She: That’s excellent. Now kindly stop it, otherwise I may get confused. Let me absorb it first before you say something more.

Me: Exactly, I was missing something, which you provided thru this word ‘absorb’. Dharma is not something which we learn thru mind & books to debate and defeat others. Dharma need to be absorbed into our genes so that we start living into total harmony by eliminating all the anamolies of our thought and actions.

Now she was silently looking at me. Her big and beautiful eyes were full of appreciation and admiration for me. I felt a little sensation in my body, which can be best described in the following lines of a old but famous Hindi Song:

Aise to na dekho…ke hamko nasha ho jaaye…
Khoobsoorat see koi hamse…khata ho jaaye…

Then she asked for tea, and I nodded in positive.

DeviDas(10): CASTE Pride/Prejudices vs HINDU Sensibilities

by: Dev Daas on Sep 12 2004 9:50AM

"A DISPLAY of RAJPUT PRIDE( Foolishness) by HER MOM"

By the time I finished tea, Mr. Singh also arrived. Gudiya also moved inside to attend a telephone call from her friend.

After usual greetings he asked: When you come?

Me : At 5.15 PM, she told me that you will be back very soon so I stayed back.

He: Today also no letter has come, although we have posted nearly 50 new proposals in last one month only.

Me: Some responses have also come in last one month ….but most of them were rejected by you people only due to this or that reason. However, I always felt Photo was the main culprit and we can hope to have much better photographs by tomorrow. I am eagerly waiting for the new photographs, and then only I will like to decide further programme/ strategy.

He: Now she (Gudiya) is also a witnessing the difficulties involved in her marriage but even then will not co-operate by toning down her criteria. Most of the cases were rejected by her only…kisi ki height kam hai….kisi ki soorat ise pasand nahin. We are not the Kings or Zamindars, who can afford so much naz-nakhras. My Advocate friend is still interested in the alliance of his Advocate son with Gudiya, but she is adamant. They are not the ordinary people but belong to a respected Zamindar family of our area. My friend was the only son of his father, and he also has only one son only. You can imagine how well-off they are. They still have lot of properties in the village besides having their own big house in this town.

You were interested in this ‘newspaper route’. I was not having much faith in it but even then agreed to put an Advt also in the Newspaper. Three months have passed but no concrete results. How long we can wait? She is already 25. I think you can convince her to marry the Advocate son of my friend. My friend has also sent a feeler to me thru some common freind that he is also not interested in any kind of dowry, because he is familiar with our financial condition.

He: I returned the Photo after keeping for a long time, when this ‘newspaper business’ was started. If you want then I can arrange it in a day or two. But you can be rest assured that Boy is very good looking and height is also average. I have seen him many times.

Me: Singhji, I wanted to see the photo for some other reason. I feel I am good to read people from their faces. Therefore, I just wanted to see it if you have it. But since you have returned it therefore I don’t think you should ask for it from them until Gudiya display some inclination.

As far as ‘Newspaper Business’ is concerned then I am not as dissatisfied as you are. I told you in the beginning itself to have new photographs but you failed. Now we will have new photos by tomorrow and I expect a great deal thereafter.

But let me tell you once again that you should also broaden your criteria by giving up the ‘Caste Criteria’. In my experience of last 3 months, I have certainly reached to a conclusion that Rajputs are still not highly educated and broadminded people. Moreover I find very few Ads of Rajput grooms in the newspaper. One reason may be their conservative attitude in looking for Matrimonial alliance thru newspaper.

He: When I objected to inter-caste marriage? I told many times this Girl that she is free to run away with any man of her choice, but she should not blame me at all. Girls are doing all kinds of job today. Whenever I suggested any Job to her, she replied that she will not do service in this town…or before marriage etc etc. I am her father; I did not suggest any mean jobs for her. I could easily have arranged a teaching job in any good school of this town thru my so many contacts. A support of even Rs.2000 means a lot to us. This much rent we are paying every month for this flat.

At this moment Mother and daughter also arrived to join the discussion.

He: (addressing to his wife & daughter) what do you think of Inter- Caste marriage?

Gudiya: I have no objection.

Mrs. Singh: Hamen nahin karni hai shadi kisi Baniya-Bakkal se, bhale hee ladki ghar mein hee baithi rah jaye jindagi bhar…..

None of us expected she will burst like this. Gudiya was very uneasy while I was perplexed to hear her outburst. Singh was familiar with the temperament of her wife therefore silent. Diplomatic Gudiya took the initiative to ease the tension filled up in their little drawing room.

Gudiya: Mom, Listen first, what he is saying. Uncle please says what you want to say.

Me: What should I say now? It is your choice or at the most of your parents but I don’t believe into the Caste System, and you all know that I have opted for an Inter-Caste Marriage only in my life. But I think I should now extend my co-operation only when you people allow me to introductory proposals to suitable boys of ‘other castes’ also.
I don’t care if afterwards you reject a good proposal on the basis of caste, becoz final choice is yours only and I will always provide you 100% freedom to select your man. But I am also a principled man therefore can’t compromise on my principles also.

If you people want to associate me then you will have to accept my this condition now, because I am speaking on the basis of first hand experience of last 3 months correspondence and not on the basis of some useless traditions or long held prejudices.

Mr. Singh & Gudiya expressed total faith in my abilities and assertions and assured that any such thing will not be repeated in future. I saw Mrs. Singh was also realizing her folly now but like a true Rajput female saying sorry was not part of her nature. Considering the futility of her presence any more, Mrs. Singh quietly retired to her room inside.

Thereafter Singhji said politely: Do whatever you wish but I feel it will be better if we get a suitable match within our caste only.

I responded very quickly & firmly once again: Singh ji, I am no God, who will decide the suitable match for her. I think suitable match for her has been already decided by the God. All we can do to make sincere efforts to locate him.

I am also not asking you to marry your daughter Inter-Caste or within Caste. I can never impose my views on anyone. I respect the freedom of everybody like I love my freedom. All I wanted to say that my sincerity in these efforts may be diluted if conditions like CASTE etc are also included in the main criteria. Any final decision will be taken by Gudiya or her parents only. I am only playing the role of an anchor or facilitator. I want to play my role perfectly for which I also need freedom. Have you got my point now?

Mr. Singh nodded affirmatively but Gudiya responded more positively & categorically by saying:

Uncle, do whatever you feel best. I promise that I am ready to marry Inter-Caste also with a slight preference for the Rajput Boy just to keep the sentiments of my Mom also. But I promise not to betray you by rejecting any suitable proposal on the basis of Caste. You can trust my word.

I was pleased by the performance of Gudiya in the whole drama, therefore said:

I have noted the sentiments of your Mom also….she is perhaps having reservations in Vaish, Kurmi, Yadav or other middle castes, which are ranked lower than the Rajputs in the Caste Hierarchy. But I hope that none of you will have any reservations in Brahmins, Bhumihars and Kayastha boys at least.

Singh told me that he was never comfortable with Bhumihars in his life, but he has no problem in marrying his daughter to suitable Brahmin and Kayastha boys of North India in addition to his own Caste Rajput.

I told that’s okay with me because it will increase the response by 100% at least, if not more. Although everthing depends upon the photographs mainly, which will be in our hand tomorrow only so let us wait till then. Bye…..

….to be contd…..

DeviDas(11): Main Jindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya…

by: Dev Daas on Sep 13 2004 11:41AM

I felt very much disgusted after taking a leave from them. Mrs. Singh deliberately used the word “Bania” to hurt me because she was fully aware of my Caste is also Bania only. I never believed into Caste System and married inter-caste to a Kayastha only but even then her remark made a deep wound on my psyche.

Till late night my mind remains flooded by the bizarre kind of thoughts. Mr. Singh wants to shift his every responsibility on my shoulders; his wife is not only a fool but idiot also. Just on the other day she was weaping before me at the fate of her beautiful & talented daughter and when I started taking keen interest in this matter she also started behaving in such a stupid manner. Gudiya is definitely one of the most virtuous female seen by me in my large circle of relatives and friends. She has almost every asset to become one of the most successful female but she is too ambitious than her circumstances permits. Probably she also suffers from an ego problem. She is not ready to compromise on a single attribute, which she is looking in her mate & husband.

But this family neither has any background nor any resources to match their expectations and ambitions. Mr. Singh is eldest among his 4 brothers; even then no brother is taking any interest in the marriage of their neice probably due to their this kind of attitude. One of them is an Army Officer (Major), while other two are also suitably placed in Govt Job only as clerks or Assistants. Gudiya once said to me that her Major Chacha made a satire on her that she wants to marry with some Prince only, which is beyond our capacity. There seems to be some truth in it. All of them seem to have pulled out their hands from this affair deliberately after failing in their attempts to convince Gudiya & her Parents that ‘Beggars are not the choosers’.

Mrs. Singh was a daughter of a Policeman, who became a Junior Police Officer by Retirement. Therefore it was a perfect example of the “Ek to Karela us par bhi Neem chadha’becoz she was a typical arrogant Rajput woman; moreover daughter of a Thanedar of Police. Her father was naturally more prosperous than the father of Mr.Singh, who retired as a clerck only from his Govt Job. Therefore she once charged her late Father-in-law also, who befooled his father by organizing her marriage in their relatively poor family. More than once she also badly humiliated & criticized Mr.Singh in front of me therefore I knew that she is basically a ‘Ganwar’ in spite of living in this town for so many years. This town is also a very unique capital town of India, where one can remain Ganwar also in spite of living here for whole life. One can say that this town is the biggest village of our planet.

What to do now? Leave them on their fate. But it will lead to a certain demise of this family because I know Singhji very well. He has outlived his means by taking loans from every possible source, but now nobody likes him, what to provide him any help. What can I do? Many people enter into such kind of death trap in this nation of a billion people everyday. So what if this family also meet such a fate only in a worst possible scenerio? What will happen to Gudiya, a lovely creature of the nature? Will she also die? No, she will definitely find someone less deserving. She is exceptionally beautiful and her 3 uncles will find someone to marry her, in case Mr. Singh commit suicides after finding himself in a debt trap and condemnation of all sorts incl by his own wife & kids. Singh has also mentioned such kind of options in the fits of depression before me.

Best option would have been to provide Rs. 3/ 4 lacs for marriage expenses, in case he arranges a suitable match for her daughter at his own in consultation with his brothers. But when Stock Market goes into bear phase then I become penniless, what to think of helping others in such situation by money. Mr. Singh is known to me for so many years. Had he told me in 1994, that he need Rs. 3 lacs for marriage of his daughter then I would have certainly given up this much money by selling 10% of my Portfolio in the Bull phase of 1994. In 1994 also, Gudiya was just 22 years, but I did not knew that because she always looked much younger than her real age. This is first time that they have told me about her age and marriage problems, and now I can not extend any monetary help. I can only make sincere efforts but they do not carry much value in the eyes of my stupid friend and his idiot wife. Only Gudiya was capable to understand the sincerity of my efforts and intentions and therefore some kind of bond is also developing between both of us.

Yeah, her eyes expect a lot from me as well appreciate my efforts. She also trusts me a lot. She agreed instatntly for the photo session at my suggestions. How much happy she look now? Not only her face but her whole body language is also full of optimism now. All those little darker shades below her eyes are not visible now. I had witness a pinkish shade now in her very thin, transparent and milky white skin now especially on face. She is bubbling with an enthusiasm now. How can I let down such a wonderful creature of nature, when she has reposed her all trust in me.

I will continue to help her in all kinds of pursuits till she has any expectations from me. I am helping her and not Mr. Singh or his wife. Mrs. Singh is capable to insult or humiliate anyone by her rustic style. I will have to tolerate any kind of insult also to fulfill my mission of rehabilitating Gudiya. I will make all efforts for her marriage but this is not in my hand. But I can definitely boost her caliber and confidence so that she can take decisions in her life to become self dependent.

I will also suggest Mr. Singh to look for a salary based Job because with the liberalization and privatization of Indian economy, the scope of Agent/ Broker in Govt Supplies has reduced considerably. If he will be interested then I will talk to one of my relative to accommodate him in his Marketing Team, as Singh has useful contacts and experience in Marketing. I fall asleep very late while thinking over various problems and their solutions on that night.

Next morning I was full of enthusiasm once again because I knew very well that I am basically helping Gudiya only and no one else. If her Mother again commits similar kind of blunders then I will have to either tolerate or tackle everything diplomatically only so that Gudiya does’nt becomes a victim of their stupidity and idiocy any more.

Humiliation often results into a ‘Reaction’ or ‘Rejection’ easily but thru a careful analysis of the events and meditation one can also convert Humiliation into a RESOLVE.

Aur phir meri to Jindagi ka Mool Mantra tha, “Ham Dono” Film mein my favourite actor DevaNand ka gaya hua yah geet:

Main Jindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya…
Har Phikr ko dhuen mein udata chala gaya…
Gam aur Khushi mein phark na mahsoos ho jahan..
Main Jindagi ko uss mukaam pe lataa chalaa gaya…

DeviDas(12): Teri pyari pyari soorat ko kisi ki nazar na....

by: Dev Daas on Sep 14 2004 2:22PM

HINDU MARRIAGE SYSTEM is PURELY BAZAARU

In the evening I went straight to the Studio to collect the photographs of Gudiya. Photographer wanted to show me the photos there itself but I ignored his suggestion because I wanted to see them in the presence of Gudiya only. Even then the Photographer could not resist himself from saying that Photos have come up exceptionally well. I also said that it is very natural becoz she is exceptionally beautiful and you took exceptional care to ensure that she poses in a perfectly natural manner before the Camera. I was already very sure that Photos will be very good because Gudiya was looking exceptionally beautiful on that day with some preparations & slight make-up, but wanted to live in suspense for few more minutes.

When I arrived at her House, I found her peeping thru the Roadside window. She asked me from there only thru gestures about the Photos. I nodded in positive. When I entered in the room she asked me: Kaise hain Photos? Have you seen them?

I replied in gesticulative manner: Yes, Not so good, and passed on the photos towards her.

Her face becomes gloomy a bit. She started looking at the photographs hesitantly one by one very carefully and I was watching her facial expressions. I noticed that gloom on her face was fading away gradually. When she finished them I asked how she rates them.

She said in a bit depressed tone: Your photos are definitely very good. Mine are also just OK. Jaisi main hoon vaise hee to honge photos bhee. I never said that I am very beautiful? Only you say that I am exceptionally beautiful. But even then these photos seems to better than the old ones. Is it not?

Now I said: Pagli, how can I see the photographs first when I want to give first preference to you always in my life? I have not yet seen them including mine photos. Photographer suggested me to see them at Studio only but I declined because I wanted to carry on suspense as far as possible. But even then he said this much that Photos are very good. Then how can you say that these are ‘just OK’. Pass them to me now. I want to see them now.

She: Oh …ab main samjhi, you were befooling me till now.

She came and sat on the sofa close to me so that now both of us can watch the photographs together. I started seeing them one by one and become mad by tremendous joy when I finished. For a second she looked at me with skepticism in her eyes…is this pleasure of mine is real or just one more drama to befool her, but next moment she realized fully well that Photographs have really come out very good and my feelings of joy are very genuine and natural only.

Me (very gleefully): have you got it now, why I was insisting you people to have fresh photos for last 3 months. Bring the old photos and now compare yourself to see the contrast.

She: Have you got it now, why I insisted you to accompany me at Studio? Because I knew that if I will go with my parents or brothers only then Photos can never be the best. If you find these photos exceptionally good then all credit goes to you only. I am the same person as I was before.

Me: okay…okay… I understand all that but tell me now what to do now, because I fear your place will become crowded by the aspirants now, when I will mail these photographs alongwith your CV.

She: There is nothing to feel so happy and optimistic. I know my luck very well. Nothing like this is going to happen. Every man is not innocent like you. Most men prefer professionally qualified and employed girls today for financial security, even if they are not good looking. Many men just prefer to marry with an average looking girl so that their wife is not chased by others/ their bosses etc. I am a plain M.A. (English), therefore some decent job is out of question and I will not go for an inferior job.

Me: Gudda, again you have started it. When I am there to take care of you then why do you worry so much? Today I am very happy to see your photos and you are not sharing my joy. In a moment, we will be joined by your parents or Brothers then I will not be able to express my natural feelings and reactions so clearly & frankly.

She: Say what you want to say. It is you only, who spoiled my mood first by saying that “Photos are not so good” and now you want to dance in joy.

Me: Gudda, I want to say that now you will chose your husband. Tell me your criteria now. I will ensure that you get a man of your choice only. Now I will not ask you to make any compromise.I can bet that there are not more than few thouand girls in India, who can match the feminity & beauty you have. So what, if some other less relevant attributes of family background or professional qualifications etc are missing? A man, who is only interested in the most natural attributes of female, can never ignore a girl like you.

She: Then a get a man for me like you are. I want to marry with a man, who should also be very natural male like you only. Who can genuinely love me forever? Rest everything is secondary. Let me tell you that it is not very easy. You will realize it when your euphoria will be over on these photographs. You are although very energetic but very impulsive and innocent also. You have become my fan for last 2/3 months only but I am your fan since ages. I did not miss your any dialogues with Papa since 1990, if I used to be at home. Your comments on Politics and society used to be always fabulous.

You don’t know the boys of today. They are not just satisfied with beauty only. They want everything especially the financial security. They can compromise in the matters of feminity or beauty but not in the matters of financial security. I know that you have resigned from a very good job of the premier Oil Company but how many people in our nation can think of resigning from such a lucrative job to uphold certain principles in life.

Me: Gudda, I promise that I will give you a better male than me, but kindly stop this lecturing now. I am very happy today. Do you know that no real male in this world can afford to ignore these two photographs? Just look at this one….is there not a lot of resemblance in your smile with the famous smile of Madhuri Dixit? Besides identical & lively face, the row of teeth also seems to be very similar. And in this one you look gorgeous like Waheeda Rahman. I have selected these 2 photographs out of 12, which I will send alongwith introductory letter only. I am sure that a real aspirant of female beauty will agree to marry with you on the basis of these 2 photographs only, even without seeing you personally.

She: Today you are addressing me by a new name ‘Gudda’ again & again, I liked this name. You can always address me by this name in our private conversations. But kindly don’t jump so much in Joy. Nothing like this is going to happen….and why you will send now 2 photos in the introductory letters, when we do not get one even in many of the introductory letters received by us. Is it not a very crazy idea only?

Me: Gudda, you will never understand instantly until I argue with you. We have nothing except your feminity and beauty to make our case attaractive. These are just marketing techniques. Unless I will not send these 2 photos, most of the people will never give you the attention & top priority, you deserve. Moreover, I have now decided to send your proposals to US employed Engineers for 2 reasons now:

Becoz, in my last 3 months experience I received better response from US employed grooms than those, who are employed in Govt Jobs or PSUs in India. I suspect demand of dowry is much more popular among Indian Grooms than those employed in US. Our proposals have clear mention that dowry seekers need not to respond.

Americans are the real fan of beauty and US is a very open society. Our boys living there for a few years also become more appreciative of female beauty under the influence of American Culture than those living in India. I have lot of relatives in US, therefore know a lot about US culture and values. You are not a traditional girl, who will find any difficulty in settling or enjoying US life. I made a big blunder in my life by not going to US, in spite of having my 3 elder sisters as US citizens. In India, there is no life, even if you have lot of money, but in US one can really enjoy their youth maximum in the company of their spouses. I have a very deep intuitive feeling that you are destined for US only therefore I wanted to focus my attention on US based boys mainly.

She (with a big laugh): Oh my God…..you have really become crazy now. Me….and USA….In our family circle many people may not abbreviate USA properly. Ask my mother for instance….USA means what….then you will come to know what I mean.

I am sure that I am not going to be married in this life….because you also started dreaming now…in whom I placed so much of my trust. I will also dream of USA now and look at US life with much more interest to have more dreams of USA in the night. But let me tell you that these dreams will remain dreams only and are not going to be realized in this life at least.

Me: Then marry to whom you want to marry. Who is stopping you? I did’nt say that I will not pursue the Boys settled in India. All I said that my main focus will be US based boys, since I have an intuitive feeling that you are destined to live in US only. If you will also start discouraging me like this then how can I pursue my mission. You know your parents well.

And what is the harm in dreaming…A dream is only the first stage of imagination. Thereafter comes the planning and efforts to realize the dream, and finally the success.

She: No…I can never discourage you. All I wanted to convey my instant feelings instantly & frankly by listening to your bizarre thoughts. My trust in you is irrevocable and I know that you are very innovative person, and very much capable to realize all your wild dreams. I have already given you the total right on my life. You are free to do any experiments with my life, and I will always co-operate. It is upto you to rescue me or spoil my life. I do not have any other option also. Beggars are not chosers.
Me: What you are saying? Say clearly if you do not agree with my ideas or plans. I believe in total freedom, liberty and frankness. I may be wrong somewhere. I will only welcome your suggestions. Your life belongs to you only, how can I or anyone ruin or spoil it? It is my firm belief that you can succeed in life without my co-operation also.

She: No…I want you to be my mentor for the whole life. Even after marriage I will not spare you to take advices for my own benefits. Who can be the other selfless person in my life other than you? I am just wondering at the imaginations and innovations of your mind. How I will not feel happy at what you have thought & planned for me? I may have some doubts about me but not about you. You can do anything which you like. But sending two photos in the introductory letter itself is not a cheap marketing technique?

Me: Why Cheap? Why the Hindus don’t allow freedom to their young boys & girls to meet each other and select their life partners at their own. Cheapest is our Dowry System, which has made a mockery of Hindu marriages, and yet there are no protests from those organization, who claims themselves self appointed guardians of Hinduism by designing new kinds of tridents or slogans like HINDUTVA. Hindu Marriage System is a dirty Bazar onlys. Every IAS officer coming out from Mussorie is sold at the highest price in the Dowry market of India, and this idiot Babu Class of GOI is deputed to check dowry and dowry deaths in India. What a great paradox? In this Bazar kind of a situation, what is bad if I also play our cards smartly by highlighting our strong points? What other option I have to attaract the bidders.

Everyone will write that his/her girl is beautiful, Gori vivacious etc etc, but it will be the Photo only, which can provide a glimse of the beauty. Qualified Engineer Boys will be getting hundreds of proposals of girls. Most of them may outscore you in Educational qualification / employment / family background etc. How can we match them to remain a contender? I think it is possible if we send the photos also in the introductory proposals. So what if we have to send 100/200 of these photos. It will not cost us more than a thousand rupees. But if we need to make a trip to Delhi, then it cost more than that.

She: But what if someone misuses my photographs?

Me: What kind of misuse? Let them kiss it….what the hell you are going to lose. People have big posters of their favourite actors/ actress in their rooms….may be kissing them….how can anyone stop them.

But I also fear one thing…..

She: What….

Me: Teri pyari pyari soorat ko kisi kee nazar na lag jaye…..

DeviDas(13): Natural Female Beauty vs Make-up Beauty

by: Dev Daas on Sep 15 2004 9:08AM

Her Papa arrived in the Apartment building as become evident from the trademark kind sound of his scooter. In the meantime she called her Mom also to have a look at the photographs. Mr. Singh also arrived in the room to join his wife to see the Photos. After completing the Job, Mrs. Singh was first to react.

Mrs. Singh: I know always knew that my ‘Beti’ look like a Princess only and these Photos represent her beauty completely. She didn’t allow me to make-up her, otherwise these would have been still better.

Gudiya: You don’t understand Mom. Excessive make-up can kill natural beauty and also becomes apparent in the Photos. These photos look very natural only. Moreover, when you say that I am beautiful then where is the question of excessive make-up. I also don’t feel comfortable with it. Bindi looks good on my forhead, I have realized but why Powder/ Cream etc, when I have a naturally fair & thin skin.

Mr.Singh: Photos are really very good. I think this Photographer may not have a big name but he is certainly the best Photographer of the town. He did a very good job indeed. I think she can have one more session in another dress, if you people also feel necessary.

Me: That’s a good idea. In all these 12 photos dresss is the same. What do you think Gudiya?

Gudiya: I am not going for any more session. I don’t think I can have better photos than these ones again in my whole life. If someone can’t appreciate these photos then you can safely conclude that he is not interested in me.

Me: Let’s see the response on these photos first. We will think of another session only if we do not get enough response on the basis of these photograohs even.

Gudiya: But in that case I will prefer to give up the idea of marriage altogether than going to Studio once again. There are many things one can do in life. Marriage is not the only thing. I don’t want to make a Road Show.

Mrs. Singh: Tum to Pagal Ho….Bhalla aise bhee koi bolta hai. To get marry, the girls also do lot of prayers and fasts. Then only God also favor them. ….aur tum to Garib kee ladki ho.

Mr.Singh: She started it once again.

Gudiya: Mom, why do you want to blame Papa every time? He may not have the money to meet the demands of greedy dowry seekers, but at least he has taken care of all us very well so far. If he gets lot of money tomorrow, even then I will never marry to any dowry seeker.

Mrs. Singh: Do whatever you like. What else I can do except prayers for you.

Then she retired to kitchen to prepare break fast and tea for us.

Mr.Singh asked me: How you want to proceed further?

Me: I think photos are exceptionally good and we can put one more ad in the HT/TOI by revising wordings like this “Exceptionally Beautiful”, ‘vivacious’ etc. Her CV will also be revised by similar wordings. I have also selected these 2 photos, which I would like to mail alongwith introductory letters in future. We will be very selective in future, because I am sure to get good response in future on the basis of these photographs. My main focus will be US based boys, because they are least interested in dowry and appreciate beauty more.

Gudiya: But what is the need to revise the CV, when you have already decided to send these photos in introductory letters only.

Me: You are right. We need not revise the CV, but we will have to design the newspaper Ad by using effective words.

Mr. Singh: I also agree with your opinion. I think we can do it immediately because next week you will also be going outstation. Once you go out of town then there is no certainity when you will come back.

Me: That’s all right. Let’s put the Ad in a day or two. I will decide the wordings tonight itself. Gudiya can order for 25 photos each of these two photos by making a call to Photo studio, as negatives are lying there only. She can just inform the photo numbers.

Mr.Singh: How much all these photos and ad etc will cost?

Me: Not more than a Rs. 1000....but do not worry about such kind of expenditures. I will manage all such expenditures.

Mr.Singh: Whole show is being managed by you only. I’m just a participant.

Me: But Gudiya is your product only. If she has very good face and features then all credit goes to her parents only.

Gudiya: Yeah….my Papa is very handsome and Mom is also no less beautiful. Have you seen the photos of their marriage?

Me: I was not known to him at the time of his marriage, becoz I would have been a kid only at that time 1000 kms away from here. But I agree with you that both of them are very good looking in this age even.

Gudiya: Mom says that I have taken the eyes & nose from my father only.

Me: I think she is very right. I can also see lot of resemblance in these features of your with your Papa.

By the time, Mrs. Singh also came back with ‘Nasta’ & Tea.

She commented in her peculiar style: He has only a good face but his pockets have been always empty. I never lived in such hardships before marriage as I am living for last 30 years.

Me: God does not provide everything to every one. Kucch ko Shakal achchhi milti hai, kuchh ko akal. But incidentally Gudiya got both in abundance; therefore do not worry a bit. Although it can take some time, when we meet some real ‘Jauhari’.

Mrs. Singh: Aapke muh mein ghee-shakkar. Kindly taste this ‘stuff’ prepared by me only. I have also trained Gudiya in household works very well. She also prepares very good recipies. But she never helps me in kitchen.

Gudiya: It is your household only. When you will come to my household after marriage then I will take care of you very well.

Mrs. Singh: But your Uncle is planning to despatch you to USA, how I will come to see you unless you will not send us the tickets also. I don’t think your Papa will have enough money ever to buy the tickets of USA, when you will invite us to live with you.

Mr. Singh: I will file for a divorce after Gudiya’s marriage than going with you US or I will precede to hell alone.

Mrs. Singh: Let me tell you that he can’t take a divorce also.

Gudiya: Oh….why you start fighting like this every time. Na no man tel hoga …na Radha nachegi. These are just the dreams of uncle and not mine. I am not sure if I will be able to leave the house of my parents then what to dream of U…S…A…

Me: But when I said that I will despatch you to US? All I said that you posses the potential and opportunity exists. Unless you have a strong desire and Reslove of this kind, my any guidance or efforts are not going to succeed. Your face may be beautiful, you may be very intelligent but none of these has been earned by you. You are lucky to have such attributes and should be thankful to God instead of having any pride/ego. One should feel pride in their achievements only.

I hope you will understand the importance of this mission for the betterment of your life. I expect you to extend me active co-operation in future. When I will be out of station then it will be your responsibility only to go thru newspapers to select good matches and then despatch the introductory proposals. Understand….

Mrs. Singh: Theek hee to kah rahe hain tumhare Uncle. Time badal raha hai. You are educated and can discharge your role better than you did so far.

Gudiya: Okay okay…I will do everything ordered by you, my Mom & my Boss.

Mr.Singh: I have some difficulties in going thru Newspapers; if she will make the letters then I will post them on the same day from the GPO.

Me: That’s OK. Now I will move.

DeviDas(14): SEX is necessity of our Life..but the MARRIAGE?

by: Dev Daas on Sep 16 2004 9:48AM

While returning back those words of Gudiya were buzzing in my ears:
“Then a get a man for me like you is. I want to marry with a man, who should also be very natural male like you only. Who can genuinely love me forever?”

“You have become my fan for last 2/3 months only but I am your fan since very long. I did not miss your any dialogues with Papa since 1990,”

1990…..Yes…I can recall her face of 1990/91…a little girl very lovely face with big eyes….but was she so fair also at that time…I can’t remember. She was 19 at that time but I thought she was 15/16 only. I know Mr. Singh since 1988/89 but used to go his house very rarely. He used to come to my house more frequently.

This Girl is not stunningly beautiful & ultra feminine only but also has lot of Sex Apeal. A man can really experience Bliss in company of such a female.I just recalled the soft touch of her hand. She is a real Maneka, who can set Fire in the body of sages like VishvaMitra even, if given a chance. She will make me crazy, if allowed to prevail upon me. How can a Hot Male like me resist such a beautiful female forever? She doesn’t know that I feel an instant arousal on hearing any of such soft feelings for me from her mouth. How difficult is to control myself when these kind of words laced with appreciation or love pour into my ears. It is good that I did not appear soft; otherwise she would have spoken something more.

Today this Girl has made enough hints and it is upto me to accept the invitation. But how can I commit such a blunder. I may be having a difficult relationship with my wife, but even then I love her & my kids most. How can I breach their trust in me? But this Girl is not only very beautiful and intelligent but also has tremendous guts. On that day she put her hand in my hand when a Palmist came to their house in front of her parents even, and today she has boldly declared that she is my fan for the ages.

Deviji, kindly forgive me. I am not a man who can flirt with you. But she is also not a flirt. She adores & admires me for my certain qualities and may be personality. I am a rough-tough kind of a guy then why these females become interested in me? Earlier also one of a very beautiful cousin sister of my wife behaved in similar manner, when I took interest in her marriage. She used to call me TDH.

I was feeling very happy today. Her beautiful photographs were only one reason. A bigger reason was that every one of her family was now fully convinced of my ideas & plan and was prepared to play an active and constructive role sincerely. Even Mrs. Singh was trying to cajole me. But the biggest reason of my happiness was to convince Gudiya to take up the responsibility of preliminary correspondence. God will certainly reward her efforts if not mine. It will also result in my less contact with her and I can remain immune from the temptations caused by her some words or gestures.

But why she conveyed her soft feelings for me so frankly today? Actually Gudiya is now 25 years old now and she need a companion badly. We men can musterbate to enjoy some sexual pleasures but females are entirely dependent on man for sexual pleasures. She is not occupied a bit for last 2-3 years and watching TV only therefore it is very natural for her to feel such desires. There is nothing wrong if she need a man today. Sex is a Natural phenomenon, while marriage is just man-made custom. A young person can do without marriage but how any can society be authorized to curb their requirement of sex? But India is a unique country, where SEX has been equated with CRIME, if it is outside marriage.

I don’t care of any such degraded social norms or third grade laws. I would have accepted her invitation instantly, provided there was not breach of trust with my wife. She is not a wife of anybody, therefore nothing wrong in her expectations from me, even if she wants to have sexual relations with me. But I am a bonded labor of my wife. It is OK in India, if there is no Sex in a Marriage but if one will fulfill his/ her requirements elsewhere then it will be considered Adultry. I think open societies of West are much better than us because they respect natural rights & requirements of their citizens than curbing them. Dating is such a concept only, where Marriage is not necessary to fulfill your physical requirements.

Suppose Gudiya does not get a suitable match forever then what will happen. She will not be allowed to have sex also by the society in India. If she will dare to enjoy sex without marriage then she will be regarded as a woman of loose character by everyone including her family members. How atrocious?

An exceptionally beautiful, virtuous and natural female like Gudiya would not have any dearth of most deserving and excellent mates kissing her feet in an open society of west but in India she has no option except marriage to fulfill her miost natural desires and requirements. If she will try to fulfill them without marriage then she will lose respect in the society, she will become ‘Patita’ in a society which recognizes ‘Pativratas’ only even if they are married to impotents or males of extremely loose characters.

That is why we Hindus have failed miserably in spite of having an absolutely humane & excellent spiritual philosophy of Hinduism. Some Impotent or MCP sages invented invented ‘Double standards’ to crush females and feminity and to promote ‘Male Chauvenism’ in the name of Hinduism by violating the real spirit of Hinduism as advocated by the hindu icons like Shiva, Rama & Krishna, who adored, loved and respected their females to such an extent that it is difficult to recognize them by without their consorts.

There is nothing sin, crime or unnatural if a red hot male like me indulge in Sex with a red hot female like Gudiya, but if society will become aware of it then not only both of us but our families will also be ruined for their no crimes in our great India. If a weak or impotent Man, who took money to fuck a woman, fails in his job then it is appreciated by the great Hindu Society of India, but if a very genuine male-female relationship results in a sexual union under pious feelings of love and mutual attaraction with mutual consent; even then it becomes objectionable, sin, adultery or crime in India. What a great PARADOX gas been caused by the pious tradition of our Hindu Society?

Why there is a premium on man, when the man -woman ratio in India favors a premium on woman? All logic of Mathematics or Economics is defied when the Market is manipulated by the vested interests. In the Hindu Society it is the Caste System only at the root of dowry system. One is not allowed to marry the girl outside Caste, and therefore options become limited, which prompt worried parents to fork out money to buy out grooms. If the Caste System is dismantled then it is possible if there is Reverse Premium on the Brides than Grooms, because boys are more in India then Girls, and ratio is further worsening. Dowry is also the main factor behind the declining male-female ratios.

Islamic Societies are one step ahead than the Hindus because they treat just an object than a fellow human being. Otherwise how such a rule/tradition can be justified at the end of 20the century, where Man can have four wives at one time with no reciprocatory provisions for women. Woman Lib Organisations have really worsened the situation instead of providing any genuine solutions of the women woes. They behave and operate in trade union style only and represent only those women, who have lost their feminity or ceased to be woman.

If any Women Organisation will be really interested in the welfare of woman then it will certainly have the ISLAM and Hindu Dowry System as their first targets. By destroying the anti-woman provisions of Islam & Hindu Society, fate of nearly one billion women can be changed forever. Hindus will accept the divinity of Rama, who had a doubtful paternity but will not allow a woman to have sex outside marriage or without marriage, if it becomes necessary for her. Even the Christians, who believe in Jesus Christ, who was certainly born by an unmarried female, are not always very liberal in the matters related to women.

Dowry seekers need to be dealt severely in India. They should be treated at par with Rapist only becoz their crime is no less serious, even if there are crime is appreciated by the great Hindu Society of India currently.

But what can I do now when I have taken an oath alongwith my wife for not having sex outside marriage before Agni Devta? Had I been aware of such kind of Paradoxes of Hindu Society earlier then I would have never opted for a formal marriage. I would have opted to become like a free & very Liberal BULL only to serve those unfortunate females, who are missing the natural pleasures of SEX for their no fault.

DeviDas(15):Khwab ho tum ya koi haqiqat, kaun ho tum .....

by: Dev Daas on Sep 18 2004 4:00AM

I was now fully aware of her fondness for me, and similarly mine for her. She expressed it also thru lot many gestures and in clear words sometimes. I did not expreseed anything except saying that she is exceptionally beautiful & very intelligent, that too in context of her Matrimonial Business. But she was smart enough to observe that I also love to talk to her endlessly. Everything was now left upon my initiatives now. Considering every constraints of my life I decided to make a visit to their house only when it is necessary and that too in the presence of his father only. What is the fun of having an ‘Afsana’, jise anjaam tak lana na ho mumkin.

During next week I gave her new Matrimonial advertisement in the newspaper by going alongwith her father. I also arranged her Photographs from the Studio and visited their house briefly to streamline everything in presence of her father only. She also started displaying keen interest in correspondence and become mentally occupied with this new assignment.

Thereafter I left town for a week or two in connection of my business work. I was sure that during this trip I shall become totally free from any residual soft feelings towards her. I used to love work also with the same intensity & devotion as I was capable to love my favorite female. During a week long stay I found myself completely detached from her at emotional level. I became absolutely sure of my philosophy of life of “Nishkam Karma” once again.

I was also looking for a suitable opportunity to help his father, so that he can make better use of his marketing skills with an assured monthly income. I convinced my Industrialist relative to accommodate Mr. Singh at an attaractive Salary + Commision package. This I wanted to convey to her father to know his reaction/ consent because the job involvde traveling also across the state.

When I telephoned then it was picked by Gudiya first.

I said: Hi Gudiya, how are you?

She: Fine, how long you will stay there? It’s more than a week now. Did you forget completely that someone is waiting for you here?

I said: It may take a week more, how is everything?

She: Weather is splendid here due to lot of rains. Some letters has also come. I don’t know how to respond further. I am missing you …come soon.

I said: I will try to finish my work in next ¾ days, where is Papa?

She: Not ¾ days. Please do it 2 days only. I know that you can finish in one day even. But if you will come so late then I will not talk to you. I am calling Papa.

Her Papa came on phone and told me that upon my return, he would like to discuss everything in details with me to arrive at a suitable decision. He also said that he also has some project in his mind, which can be very rewarding if I will extend my co-operation.

My job was nearly over. If Singh would have come then I may have stayed for another couple of days. But since he wanted more time before making up his mind, therefore there was no point in staying for a long period.

But Gudiya’s words were ringing into my ears now once again:

“Did you forget completely that someone is waiting for you here?”, “how long you will stay there”, “I am missing you …come soon”, “Not ¾ days. Please do it 2 days only. I know that you can finish in one day even. But if you will come so late then I will not talk to you”

This time I was not only stunned by her words alone but also by her melodius voice, which I heard after more than a week gap this time. Her pronounciation & message was clear, while the voice contained musical nodes for my ear. It was the first time when I noticed her voice is also enticing like her looks and body only. I cursed my luck not because I could not meet her before my marriage, but for the reason of meeting now, when I am not only married but also a father of two kids. I murmered, Gudda, why you are doing like this….I will die only…you don’t know me.

Soon I found myself completely overwhelmed by her once again. This time magic was done by her musical voice, which completely besieged me. Not her sight or a face to face conversations but even a very brief tele-tete is capable to ignite instant fire in the body. But by now I had also devised and tested a 'novel mechanisn' to release and cool myself without requiring physical intimacy with her.Thereafter, I become drowned in her charming and lively memories once again. She is roaming around me in her house, making tea for me, asking brilliant & thought provoking questions, appreciating and admiring me after becoming overwhelmed by my perfect replies and explanations. Now, I was thanking God for giving me a chance to meet and talk with such a female, in whom so much feminity and beauty is concentrated, which I never imagined earlier, God can pour in a single frame of a woman. I also wondered how any single woman can afford so much beuuty & feminity? I murmered….you are lucky man….to see at least what the ‘ultimate beauty’ & ‘ultra- feminity’ means.

I started feeling uneasy now, and the desire to see her at the earliest was getting stronger every minute. What to wait for another 2-3 days, I would have flown to meet her instantly if was an option. Night Train was the only option and I decided to finish my pending jobs and book my ticket so that I may be in a position to catch the train tonight itslf.

In the Night I boarded the train to provide her a pleasant surprise by arriving next day itself, although her ultimatum would was valid for 2 days more. My conscience asked myself, what will you say to her? What you expect from her? I said nothing….and nothing at all at my own. I do not expect anything from her; I will also not say anything to her, which can further fuel the FIRE. But I can also not resist her any more, becoz my Guru also says- whatever you resist, it persists more. Let me see what happens? I want to remain casual and allow me to witness her all colors only, becoz her each and every color seen by me so far was a sight of splendid & fascinating beauty & absolute feminity only.

If it is a dream only then also I would like to see it till the end, however jumbled the sequence it may be. I know she will happily show me her all colors and seek my admiration and love, when she will find an interested audience in me, but I am only interested in this much only:

Khwab ho tum, ya koi hakikat,
Kaun ho tum….batlao…….
Dhadkano ne suni, ik sada paon kee.
Aur Dil par lahrai aanchal ki chhav see

But I will not ask her:

Der se itnee door khadi ho, aur karee baa jao.

She wants to reveal & unveil herself completely before me and I also want to see her every details now, which may provide me tremendous realization of divine female beauty and their mysterious feminity, which always made me lot of curious since childhood. I always preferred risk and challenges in my life than security and precautions. How can one everything be learned from books, when everything is not written there yet? Life can always teach us much more provided we are open to new experiences.

I did not asked for it but probably God also wanted me to experience something beyond my imaginations even. By remaining totally uninvolved how one expects to see or experience something, which is unimaginble? It is against all those basic and natural instincts of my being, which was preserved by me so far against all odds. Morover, any coldness displayed by me can also throttle her development & evolution, which has seen a new dimension thru the newly discovered confidence and faith in life by her in my short company. Both of are not teenagers also but very mature & responsible adults. Let’s see what happens next?

I will go to their house regularly at such times, so that we are able to talk more in private. I will listen and talk to her on any issue without provoking her to say anything particular but I will also not stop her to become totally frank with on any issue. I think she can play a vital role in my life also, if ready to become a friend only than a fan or love-bird. She understands me very well and is really capable to provide a big boost to my creativity, by her very appropriate appreciation and admiring gestures. She underlined everytime below the excellent lines, whenever I gave any article to her for reading. I can always write much better thru her inspiration, and publication will become very easy if she agrees to lend her name to my articles. Female writer will always get a preference over the male writers. Moreover she is M.A. (English) and can translate my articles into English gradually after getting some exposure.

I fall asleep in the midst of these thoughts to meet her in my dreams and woke up only when I arrived at my own town.

DeviDas(16): Tere Mere Sapne ab ek Rang hain….

by: Dev Daas on Sep 19 2004 9:24AM

US & INDIA- MADE for EACH OTHER ????

After 10 AM, it became impossible for me to wait till evening to see her. I decided to make a try at least. I also decided to drop in her house only if I did not found the Scooter of her Papa in the Parking lot, which can be seen by me, while passing thru her street. Once he is gone out then he will be back after 2PM only and I can talk to her for nearly 3 hours at least.

Before 11 AM, I was in front of her house, the roadside window was closed and scooter was not there. For a moment I felt myself like a theif, and my heart started beating very fast, when I knocked the door. I decided not to enter in the house if her servant or mother opened the door. I will just ask about Mr.Singh and then tell that I will come back in the evening or next day.

But the door was opened by Gudiya herself. To see me at her door, her lovely face and eyes brightenend up with pleasant shock. She said ….Aap aa gaye…itnee Jaldi. I asked should I go back or she will allow me to enter in her house. She gave the way with a big smile.

While sitting in Sofa, I replied to her by saying: Only you ordered me to come back immediately thru an ultimatum, and now you are asking why I come back so early?

She: I still find it difficult to believe that you have come, when you are sitting before me. Yeh koi khwab hai ya Haqiqat.

I : Gudda, tell me why you served me the ultimatum to come back in 48 hours only?

She: Bas yun hee…I was missing you and lot of letters also has come, which I wanted to show to you. Some of them are very interesting and few are for US based boys also.

I : So, now you have started dreaming US? So much transformation in just a few days only. Tell me in which direction US lies from India, in the North or South?

She: US lie in the heart of both of US. I did not watch movies this time but during your absence I updated my knowledge & awareness about US thru every possible source incl TV. I can now understand very well what do you mean, what you wanted to convey by these dialogue- “US & India are natural allies”, or “US & India are made for each other”.I completely agree with your both dialogues, and analysis of complementary roles for India and US in the coming years. I must say you are Genius to imagine all this, which has not been imagined by any media person/politician in my knowledge. Most of the Indian Politicians & Media are still critical of US and I failed to find any supporter so far. Why don’t you write in big Newspapers?

I : You bombarded me with so many questions, which can’t be answered by me in a week time, but offered no water even, what to think of tea?

She ran to bring water in two steel glasses and placed on the table. Then she again went call her servant in the verandah for tea. When she came back I was sipping water, but I found she was looking at me so amazingly with her big & bright eyes wide open.
I asked her: What happened, why you are looking at me so shockingly? Had I committed some blunder with my moustaches in a hurry?

She : None of my family member could dare to touch this Glass from which you are sipping water so happily. It is my glass since childhood.

I said laughingly: So this was the matter. I did’nt know this Glass belong to you only. You never told me. Your name is also not written over it. But tell me what I can do for atonement of my sin now?

She also becomes relaxed: Nothing doing. But in future you will remember that this Glass is mine.

I said: OK, but what will be the penalty if I again commit this mistake innocently.

She said with a smile on her face: I will forgive you again like I did today. Forever for any kind of mistake I will always forgive you.

I : Let’s see. But Madam, I was never in love with US as you have fallen in just few days only. My heart still beat for my Poor but Idiot India, which has bitten me always. But now I am more concerned with Hinduism. I admire US, because it is really a great democracy, than the notions created by the popular tag & status of the ‘Only Super Power’.

However, if you agree with this statement “US & India are made for each other” then who is male and who is female in this combination, because ‘made for each other’ imply for a male-female relationship generally.

She: You tell me. I can’t answer it. My knowledge on these matters is still in infant stage only.

I : Which country is powerful between US and India

She : Obviously US

I: Which country posses the ancient wisdom between these two?

She : Obviously India.

I : In an ideal male-female relationship, normally the power is the domain of man, while wisdom is the domain of woman. A man when loses power becomes useless only while a woman without wisdom is hardly a woman. US is a man-made Nation, which has acquired everything except the wisdom (soul) in last 400 years of their existence. Due to absence of soul, US land into trouble always in spite of having genuine intentions only. For instance, Jews have a strong lobby in US, and manipulate US foreign policy to suit their vested interests. It is only the Jews only, who are enemies of Muslims and not the average American, similarly it is the Israel only, which see enemy in every Islamic Nation, but an impression has been created if the US is the enemy # 1 of ISLAM & Muslims worldwide.

Due to lack of wisdom, US has not only fallen in the Jews trap, but also failed to demolish the Anti- Muslim label on it. But if US & India will come closer then US is expected to take the full benefit of our ancient & spiritualistic philosophy of Hinduism, only which can provide the solutions of current problems and challenges before the humanity & Globe in the leadership of US. US is a Nation without soul, because it is also a creation of Men only like any other creation of Men, which is always without soul. US is searching for its soul now. This soul can only be Hinduism, and not the Christianity or any other incomplete Religious philosophy or irrelevant Doctrine.

Are you getting what I mean?

She: Yes, Do you mean to say that it is US & Hinduism which are exactly complementary to each other than India & US? Since India is the main carrier of Hinduism therefore one can also say that India and US are made for each other.

I : Exactly, you got it very perfectly. I am also very happy to see that you posses so much intelligence. I did not found anyone other than you, who can understand my ideas so perfectly and instantly.I hope you will like to serve as my Ambassador in USA also, when you will reach their to live with your life partner some day.

She : Oh sure…but you also don’t make a move to US to pursue your missions, when you have every kind of eligibility and resources including 3 of your elder sisters living there for decades as US citizens.

I : Gudiya, That’s a long story. Nothing happens without the wishes of God. If you have some faith in my abilities of peeping into future then I can say this much only that he has planned only for you and not for me. In the days to come you will come to know, why? All I need a representative in USA, and no one can be better than you.

By this time her servant brought the tea also.

I : Then tell me why you asked me to come back?

She said with a naughty smile: You will know everything when time will come, but please do not divert the topic. I found US very fascinating and I want to learn more about US from you only, because every other source deal with the past or present only, while you can peep into future also.

Lot of feelings passed thru my heart and mind, which have been exactly summarized by this lovely song of ‘Guide’ Film:

Tere-mere sapne ab ek rang hai….

Do jahan milen na mile ham sang hai…

DeviDas(17): An Intense & Intimate Intercourse initiated

by: Dev Daas on Sep 20 2004 10:30AM

After a while she said: That’s excellent but why you say INDIA is IDIOT?

I : India is a not only super stupid but also an Idiot Nation, because it never provided an opportunity to the pious & spiritualistic philosophy of Hinduism in last 2 millenium. Instead some frauds & manipulators like Manu & Bhrigu invented and developed the anti- theseis of Hinduism as represented by the Modern Caste System. Tilak & Gandhi liberated India by truly following the path of Hinduism, but thereafter Nehru brought the concept of Secularism to suppress Hinduism once again successfully. But what happened ultimately. Not only his daughter Indira Gandhi fall the victim of non-sensical Nehruvian Secularism but his grand son Rajiv was also lost in the web created by his Grand Father.

In 1990, I was also misled by the call of Advani, who decided to call-off the bluff of a traitor like VP Singh. But by 1992, it become obvious that Advani & Vajpayee etc are merely the slaves of RSS, and not the real Hindus or the leaders of a National & responsible political party. Although ‘Hindutva’ means Hinduism only as per literary meaning but their slogan of ‘Hindutva’ is nothing Hindu, but it is also an anti-thesis of Hinduism only like the Caste System was.

So you can see now that Stupid Hindus of India never followed spiritualistic philosophy of Hinduism in the last 2 millenium. Sometimes they followed Caste system, sometimes opted for the foreign rule, sometimes there was a slogan of Secularism and now they have been befooled by the slogan of ‘Hindutva’ as invented by some Anti-Hindu Brahmins, who are not only very jealous of a Hindu icon like Gandhi, but also of Hindu Gods like Krishna, Rama & Shiva.

Okay, now show me the letters related to your Matrimonial business.

She: That you can see later also, when Papa comes. Let’s talk only till then. I love to hear you and talk to you.

Now she was looking at me without blinking her eyes, which were full of love and awesome adoration for me.I felt for a moment as if she is now inviting me for an intimate intercourse. Really it proved to be very intense, stimulating & intimate intellectual intercourse only in next days, week and months when she provided new dimensions to my creativity, which was unknown to me earlier. Like a true female, she enticed me by the unlimited charm at her disposal, aroused me & allowed me to prevail on her and when I released some innovative and intuitive stray thoughts then she nurtured and nourished them with all feminine love and care to breed many articles on the following themes till she left to cohabit with her soulmate in USA.

US / India & Hinduism
Islam & Communism
Christ & Christianity
Gandhi/ VivekaNanda & Hinduism
Hinduism vs Caste System
Evolution vs Revolution
Science & Spiritualism
Spiritualism vs Terrorism

Some of these articles were published at Indiacause.com and most of them were placed by me at the DB of Hindunet.com in 2002 prior to having a heart attack in Jan 01, 2003. Therafter it was a gap for many months in my activities. This year I am more active and will put them separately at this weblog also in the days to come after editing a little bit so that the ‘Love’ theme of this story (DeviDas) is not diluted. These articles were conceptualized between 1997 and 2000, but have become more relevant in the post 9/11 scenerio. Some of these will remain relevant for a very very long period also. Some titles are as under:

1. Christianity vs American Religion

2. India/ US & Hinduism

3. Should US Become a Hindu Nation now?

4. Will US become a Hindu Nation by 2100 AD?

5. US need Gandhi now

6. Evolution of sanatan Dharma

7. Various Religions on T-S Scale

8. Communism vs Individualism

9. Casteless Hindu Society is the only Alternative
……
……& many more ….

CHRISTIANITY vs 'AMERICAN RELIGION'

by: Dev Daas on Sep 21 2004 10:28AM in Religion

VIVEKANANDA's DREAM: US to become a HINDU NATION !!!

US is has great affinity towards Hinduism, which was demonstrated by Swami Vivekananda in 19th century itself to the whole world. Gandhi also caught attention of the world by inventing an innovative & very potent weapon namely ‘Non-Violence’ to floor the very cunning enemy of Hinduism & India by following the perfect Hindu traditions. But when India became independent then it was pushed into the COMMUNIST block thru a great conspiracy hatched by the leftist and anti-Hindu elements in the Congress. But all these efforts were bound to fail and failed also ultimately because INDIA always had a HINDU Soul which remained intact during Muslim rule, which extended for nearly a millenium. But India’s this honeymoon with Communism / Socialism delayed those events, which were visualized by great VIVEKANANDA more than 100 years ago. US also had many compulsions during the cold war era to support the opportunist Jews or dictatorial regimes of Pakistan etc. However, now both the biggest democracies are having a good time, because they are the real, natural and most perfect & compatible allies. In the following few articles I have detailed out the natural affinity of HINDUISM with US, which I will publish in a series here.

1. Christianity vs American Religion

2. WaT & 3 Religions

3. India/ US & Hinduism

4. Should US Become a Hindu Nation now?

5. Will US become a Hindu Nation by 2100 AD?

6. US need Gandhi now

CHRISTIANITY vs AMERICAN RELIGION (title can also be Christianity or Christ-Anti ) Or Christianity or Crush-Sanity

Jesus Christ was a noble soul but not the Paul who started the concept of Christianity. Christ was wholly spiritualistic and may have attained realization/divinity but the Paul manipulated the whole thing to start a Religion in the name of Christ. This was the greatest blunder because Christ wanted to introduce the concept of 'Way of Life' in the western world to replace the concepts of religions. But they (Paul) created a contradiction by starting a new religion in the name of Christ itself. Christ probably had visualized a concept of a evolutionary kind of 'Living Religion' on the Hindu Patterns but Paul & Co. idolized and created a new deity of Christ itself to Revolutionize the western world thru some more new Semitic concepts .

Christ certainly come into contact with the Hinduism in those times and was greatly influenced and benefited by the spiritualistic concepts of Hinduism. He probably wanted to spiritualize the western world on the Hindu lines by introducing the concept of KARUNA & TYAG (Compassion & Sacrifice) in the extremely selfish western society of those times. But it is really very unfortunate that only a few Christian saints understood the real message of Christ in last 2 millenniums while the majority of the followers remained in the grip of illusions and dogmas.

When Christians came to US then they indulged in such horrific crimes & sins that even ISLAM was put to shame. But some of them really become disgusted from the insufficiency, irrelevance and opportunistic tendencies of the Christian Philosophy .These gentlemen were only pragmatic and positive thinking Businessmen but not the spiritualists or saints, who could have challenged the Christianity itself. In newly born US, the numbers of people frustrated & fed up with Christianity kept on rising and finally on 4th July,1776 they decided to assert themselves to sign the historic document namely THE DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE and decided to debar the Christian Philosophy at least in the matters of Nation Building. This was the biggest defeat of Christian Philosophy in 1800 years and biggest win of Jesus Christ, who cherished the Hindu thoughts of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice and Sacrifice 18 centuries years ago.

It was probably a divine instruction or intuitive thought only which prompted Late Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin etc to embark upon a new path without seeking the guidance of Christianity and thus a nation born with a resolve to keep away Church from having any control or say in the matters related to the people's life. The progress of US is a proof of the fact that founder fathers of US have accomplished a charisma before which every achievement of the Paul's Christianity looks pale only. After witnessing the success of US Model, one should not have any doubt that Jefferson, Washington etc are really great than Paul, who invented and started the concept & Religion of Christianity. One can also say that founder fathers of US have started a new religion namely 'American Culture' to meet with the modern challenges before humanity where Christianity failed miserably.

For example, Christianity recognized the slavery as well as allowed the followers to convert people by force against the spirit & examples of compassion and sacrifice established by the Jesus Christ. But the American Culture got rid of SLAVERY at a time, when it was very popular among the rest of Christian world. More over US abolished it in spite of facing a most potent threat of Civil war and division of the nation between North and South over this issue. Abraham Lincoln, who was a better American than a Christian got murdered later, but Christian World could not stop him from taking this historic and momentous decision in view of the cherished ideals of new American Religion known as Freedom, Liberty and Justice.

But the American Culture / Religion are also a product of Mind only and not evolved out of Nature and Consciousness like Hinduism has. Hinduism is complete and universal philosophy while the American Religion is mainly concerned with the materialistic needs of the humanity, societies and the Globe. It does not address the impact of the Materialism on the human psyche and resulting disequilibrium, problems and contradictions caused by it. Thus a bigger void and imbalance has been crated in the spiritualistic and material life of an average American which results in distress and dissatisfaction in the personal and family lives of the most.

Most of the Americans are largely & truly following this 'American Religion' only, which was invented and inaugurated by the secularist founder fathers of the nation. But the founder fathers of US were only true Secularists and not the Spiritualists, therefore their this gift to Americans also fell short of becoming a 'way of life' or a 'living religion'. Since 'American Religion' is materialistic only therefore it has a natural affinity & urge towards Hinduism, which has the maximum content of Spiritualism in its philosophy. CONVERGENCE OF HINDUISM AND U.S. IS BOUND TO HAPPEN but there is some hiccups also as mentioned in the following paras.

It is not clear yet if the American religion will surrender before the Hindu Religion or it will try to absorb the techniques/knowledge only, which provides a boost to the individual caliber and potential? Till now Americans are very selective and learning some techniques of Yoga/ Pranayam and Meditation only to boost their physical and mental potential but not surrendering completely before Hinduism by making sacrifice of their typical 'American Ego', which is popularly known as the 'American Pride' also.

The American Hindus are in a dilemma. They want to learn Hinduism but not at the expense of American Ego. But without sacrificing Ego how much Hinduism one can learn is evident from the behavior of upper caste Hindus of India in last 2 millennium. Ego shedding is only the first step of learning Hinduism. Prevalence of Caste System in the Hindu Society of India probably also creates some doubts regarding the sanctity & universal ness of Hinduism because no concrete & conscious efforts have been initiated by the Hindu Society for eradication of Caste system yet.

However, the following equation summarizes the whole thing precisely:

American Religion - Ego + Spiritualism = HINDUISM

INDIA / US & HINDUISM

by: Dev Daas on Sep 22 2004 10:22AM in Religion

American Indians are doing extremely well in US materialistically and spiritually. They are not only having the highest per capita income in US as an ethnic group but are also the carrier of spiritual message of Hindu Philosophy, which remained confined to India only in the last 2 millennium, when many other inferior religious philosophies used every trick and propaganda to reach at every corner of this Globe.
If Hindus/ Indians have done wonders in US then on the other hand the progress of India is just satisfactory as constrained by the bumper growth of Population and the age old liability like the RIGID CASTE SYSTEM. Incidentally all the political parties are only unanimous on these two issues only and want to maintain the current growth rate of population as well as Caste System due to vote-bank politics. But in spite of such drags there are not many examples of success like India in the third world countries. Many developing nations are starving to have a proper kind of democracy even. However, in spite of having a stable democracy, Indians are still suffering from ignorance and poverty, which also raise the fears of its democracy vulnerable to manipulations by vested interests always.

India is still not a Hindu nation and after attaining independence it become a perverted Pseudo-secular country only. Hindus of India are largely following a Hindu Religion wrapped by the Caste System, which is not the real Hinduism in true sense. In comparison to them, NRI Hindus are following Hinduism in a better way therefore having a better success ratio also. Hindus are basically very smart people but Caste system prevented them to make teams in a truly and objective manner.

Hinduism may not flourish on the strength of India but it can only be vice-versa. Slogans like ‘Long live India’ may not work till India has a discriminatory constitution and Casteist, Communalist and corrupt politicians like it have at present. Courtesy US, Hindus have realized their full potential. They can have sympathies for India also but US/ Europe should be their first choice. In fact they can’t do much for India which is burdened by so many self created problems. It will be better if American Hindus start believing in slogans like ‘Long live US and long live Hinduism’ OR ‘Globalization of Hinduism & Spiritualization of Globe’.

Although US has many virtues but homes and families in US requires some doses of spiritualism also. This can be possible only after popularizing Hinduism in that country. EGO is very typical element in US environment / culture since many nice Indians/ Hindus living in US also suffer from this virus very often. Some call it ‘American Pride’ also, but it is nothing but only a kind of EGO only. This virus of EGO always corrupt the supreme software (operating system) known as ‘intellect’. In Gita, Krishna clearly stated and narrated such facts about EGO. Hinduism makes available the anti-virus software to clean the mind/intellect from any kind of virus emanating from EGO. Americans also have too much faith in the data and data analysis. But with corrupted software any analysis can be misleading only.

A nation always has a soul also besides body. India has Hindu Soul, while most of the European countries have Christian soul. US are still looking for its soul but not found yet. Christianity has failed to inspire US since the beginning as is evident from the decision of founder fathers of US to debar Christianity to have any say in the matters related to the nation building. Now Islam has lost its growing appeal in US in the post 9/11 era. ‘American Pride’ may be a better option than conservative nationalism but even then it is also a slogan only. Even the most excellent slogan can not be the substitute of the SOUL. India maintained its HINDU SOUL even during the 1000 years of foreign rule in this country. Soul always has a religious/ spiritual content, therefore, SCIENCE/ TECHNOLOGY/ MATERIALISM or any type of Doctrine can’t be the replacement of SOUL .We have seen in case of USSR ,when COMMUNISM failed to create the soul of RUSSIA in spite of its tremendous efforts continued for more than a half century.

Everything is evolving. Americans have started liking Spiritualism (Hinduism) lately because they are very addicted to the thoughts of ‘freedom, liberty & democracy’. Such thoughts can find acceptance, echo and convergence in Hinduism only. Islam and Christianity can never accommodate such aspirations of people perfectly or in true spirit. I think Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma is just very fit to the requirements of American soul and is capable to make free US from this deficiency of spiritual crisis, which has become grave in the current century and due to which American women / children are becoming innocent victims. This century may witness that Indian Hindus will not only contribute in material success of US but American Homes/ Family will also find a lot of respite thru the love & spiritualism as sponsored by Hinduism.

India is also learning and will learn more lessons from US .There is no harm, if India learn to honor the individual’s freedom, liberty and creativity from US which ultimately make a nation truly strong. This process will get further momentum as the appeal for Spiritualism (Hinduism) will become more pronounced in US. Hindus of US should also be watchful to prevent any subversion of Hinduism into some inferior kind of Hindu version for which some forces are very active in US also.

US democracy is also evolving. It is true that US acted in self interest/ revenge till few years ago but now the things have changed a lot. One can see the contrast between the ruthless/ inhuman American action of 1945 when it dropped Atom Bomb at Hiroshima/ Nagasaki and the kind/ human US approach during WaT in Afghanistan last year. Lot of consistent positive developments has happened in the US foreign policy during the period of 1945-2002.

India may continue to have an uncertain future but even then Hinduism will prosper, because it has already established strong roots in the US. Christian Extremists like Pat Robertson are afraid because they know very well that the appeal of Spiritualism (Hinduism) can not be ignored by the average Americans in the current century. Americans are now feeling too tired of the Materialism in their country, which was never, checked by the Christianity. Even today the people like Pat are cursing Hinduism instead of making Christianity enable to meet the requirement of modern man and American families. Pat’s remarks against women are very outrageous only although Christian Philosophy is not so ruthless towards women.

It is the time when American Hindus should focus their attention on American women/ children by rescuing them from the evil designs of religious mercenaries. American women will get a respite in Spiritualism (Hinduism) because here woman is not only equal to men, but has a complimentary role to play in the development of the society.

The idea ‘India belongs to only to Hindus’ is only very dangerous and counter productive. It is similar to those immature feelings of some Christians like ‘US belongs to Christianity alone’. If the idea of former group violates the basic principles of Hinduism then the idea of later group is also a violation of basic American tenets. Let there be healthy competition between the religions also in this age of SPIRITUALISM.

...to be contd..

SHOULD US BECOME A HINDU NATION NOW?

by: Dev Daas on Sep 23 2004 12:50PM in Religion

Thanks VM, you said "Indians are American at Heart"

I feel the same thing in the following sequence of the words.

AMERICANS are INDIAN at HEART

However, you feel free to discuss / circulate this idea in yr circles and/or in Seminars etc. There is no dearth of innovative & practical ideas, if there are buyers.

I am at the service of any person working for the welfare of the Humanity & Planet. US has a very big role to play in shaping the destiny of our planet in this century, and so the Hinduism i.e. Spiritualism.

Can't we imagine & aspire for the convergence of Hinduism & US in such a scenario?

SHOULD US BECOME A HINDU NATION NOW?

Sometimes I have a feeling that these new American Cults can be far more dangerous than Communism/ Islam or Nuclear Bombs for the humanity. Frustrated people in US are coming together under some umbrella organization to clone and propagate some frustrating thoughts in this age of human cloning.

US have always created more complications and controversies to divert the attention of the humanity from real and challenging issues before it. How it’s Law and other guiding principles will find the solution of the problem of human cloning is still not known? Perhaps they will act only when Some Company will announce it has the EMBRYOS created out BIN LADEN's Genes.

If the PRIDE is a result of EGO then ARROGANCE is the result of MADNESS only. Call it Ego / Madness OR Pride/ Arrogance, but it is nothing else but ignorance and illusion only.

US was following the route of Dharma & Karma (Righteous Action) only till it was provoked to invoke some illusions by an cowardice act of Japan on Dec 7, 1941. US got deviated thereafter from its sacred principles for the first time in its history perhaps. Between Dec 7, 1941 and Aug 6, 1945 US witnessed a big transformation in its policies and outlook. An innocent happy/ healthy and playboy nation wanted to become a SUPER POWER now by making every possible weapon/ technology to suit this ambition. Finally by destroying the Hiroshima and Nagasaki thru Nuclear Bombs it achieved the supreme status of a Super Power in a world, which recognizes only one principle “MIGHT is Right”.

Gradually US area of influence kept on enlarging and finally its arch rival Russia become bankrupt and fell on the feet of Uncle Sam. US become careless & irresponsible thereafter as happens with unchallenged super power (Indian mythology is full of such examples) .History repeats itself. Same thing happened again. Pearl Harbor was far away from its mainland but the Islamic Terrorists attack of 9/11 was made in the Heart of US. It provided a long awaited opportunity to carry out an overdue introspection by US.

As an optimist I wish and hope US will avail it to the full extent and list out its threats and priorities afresh by getting rid of all misconceptions and illusions, the biggest of which is so called American pride or American arrogance itself.

But it is too early to predict anything where the events of Post 9/11 might lead US?
Signals are both mixed and confusing. A justified WaT in Afghanistan raised many hopes but it was unfortunate to witness that Yankees become afraid of Saddam instead of punishing the mother of Taliban (i.e. Pakistan).

If Islam is a threat to US & World then how can you overlook the fact that chief financier and architect of JEHAADI ISLAM are the American allies Saudi Arabia & Pakistan respectively themselves. Only a fool will expect by eliminating Bin Laden or Saddam, Islamic Terrorism will be crushed when it is aided and abated by Arab Sheikhs in the Terror Coaching Institutes of Pakistan.

Same is the case of Neo- Terrorist Cults which are being cultivated in USA at present. Call it by any name but many of them are having the capacity and potential to become ‘American Taliban’. US can check the entry of Immigrants to filter out Islamic fundamentalists & extremists, but what will happen when some more intelligent Bin Ladens of future will hire some frustrated neo - cult of US to launch an internal attack on US by making use of its NATIVE CITIZENS only than utilizing the services of IMMIGRANT Terrorists.

American think tanks still do not have any answer of this question probably?

Should US have full faith in those NATIVES, who been brain washed by the various Cults of the US?

No, because they are going to pose the biggest potential threat to US interests in future than the dreaded Islamists or the shrewd Chinese and Japanese.

But what is the SOLUTION?

Solution is Spiritualism i.e. Hinduism

US should go for spiritualism without any delay i.e. US should adopt the Hindu way of life at the earliest

Except Hinduism there is no other time tested remedy to face the challenge of Terrorists or Brain washed cultists. Hinduism has faced constant oppression and suppression in the hands of not only aggressors but also by the own people (Natives). But everyone (including the self serving natives) has been ultimately defeated by this universal and supreme philosophy of Hinduism. This is why it is considered the only dynamic and constantly evolving type of philosophy available to the Humanity since the unknown times. Hinduism has many in –built features of tackling challenges and dissent to suit the present times in a very unique way.

I think it is the time when Americans should ask their SENATE to pass a resolution to adopt Hinduism as the Ideal Path or Way of Life for its citizens to elevate US to a higher Plane, to which it deserves also.

…..more later…

US may become a Hindu Nation by 2100 AD.

by: Dev Daas on Sep 24 2004 7:39AM in Religion

The agenda for this century has been set up in the very beginning itself by the BIN LADEN. There is no doubt that this century is going to witness the biggest tussle between the Religion (shell) and the Spiritualism (Core). Many religions will be exposed in this process and shall be proved a Shell only devoid of any core i.e. Spiritualism. Islam has least spiritualism, therefore it will be the first casualty and the process is already on. Many liberal Muslims and Pseudo-Secularists are concerned of this inevitability and trying hard to defend ISLAM thru their manipulated versions but it is virtually impossible for anyone to create a CORE in Islam. Islam is not a philosophy but a doctrine only akin to Communism. It has already outlived more than it was due. Communism is perhaps a better doctrine than the Islam, but doctrines are doctrines only and therefore have limited lifespan. Islam has many ill -concepts, some of which are very violent and cruel also. Islam is not fair with FAIR sex also.

Christianity is already facing a revolt from within since last few decades particularly in the US. One can see many new Religious CULTS have sprung up throughout US in last few years. The reason is the utter failure of Christianity in resolving the problems of women and family mainly. Although Christianity is not intolerant like the Islam is, but in recent years the scandals of the Churches has brought a very bad name to it. Many Americans are now seeking refuse in new Cultic Religions, some of which are inspired by the Buddhism also. Persons like Pat Robertson are only capable to do more harm to Christianity than any benefit, because they are very harsh on women. But Christianity will have a different fate since Jesus will always be honored and recognized by the Hindus as a great person (like an incarnation). Thus Christianity may be submerged into the Hinduism in next 3/ 4 centuries from where it seems to have originated also.

Recent researches on religion’s evolution are indicating that the original pious thought on which the all religions have sprung up has its origin in the philosophy of Hinduism only. Hinduism means Spiritualism and not the Hindu Religion as represented by the amalgamation with peculiar Hindu Caste System of India. Hinduism means basic & pure spiritual thought & philosophy only. Natural calamities and wars isolated the populations and thus other religions have also sprung up, which are comprised of both spiritual and cultural elements in varying proportions. In India, Hinduism developed into two distinct system or religions, one was the Hindu caste system (or religion), while the other was the casteless Buddhism. In both these religious systems, the basic concept of Hinduism i.e. Spiritualism were retained to the maximum in comparison to other religions. Islam has minimum spiritual element in it on a T-S scale, while the Hinduism has maximum element of Spiritualism on this scale. Christianity lies in between. ( T – terrorism & S- spiritualism)

All this happened due to isolation of population. Now the age of integration of spiritual thought has arrived courtesy internet/cable. After passage of some more time one will see more influence of Spiritualism (Hinduism) on all the religions including the Hindu caste system (religion). The Religion of most of the Hindus in India presently is the Hindu Caste System and not the pure Hinduism i.e. Spiritualism.

Unfortunately, India never offered opportunities for growth of Hinduism in the last 2000 years since it was/is badly trapped in the anomalies created by the Hindu Caste system. This also resulted into an unparallel humiliation of Hindu society for last 1000 years. India is facing all kinds of dilemma / contradictions/ problems since the original VARNASHRMA started degenerating into this present RIGID CASTE SYSTEM nearly 2000 years ago. The version offered by Sangh Parivar is also more inspired by the Islamic/ Talibani thoughts than by the real and noble thoughts of Hindu Philosophy.

Hindu Philosophy (or Hinduism/ Spiritualism) is not a property or asset which belongs to Hindus/ India alone. Similarly, US will not belong to Christianity always since it is also not a property /asset or commodity, but a Nation. Everything is evolving. US has evolved itself more on Hindu philosophy of KARMA and DHARMA, i.e. Justice, Action, Truth and Democracy. US is dynamic and so the Hindu Philosophy. Both are complimentary to each other in this hour of maturity but of spiritual crisis in the world. Therefore it will not be an expansion of Hinduism but rather a convergence of Hinduism with the great democracy of the world, which will be witnessed by the humanity in this century. India denied this chance to Hinduism which shall be provided by the US in coming years so that journey of mankind is not halted for want of spiritualism. Spiritualism has to play a key role in not only in the development of humanity but also the in the further growth of Basic Science, which urgently requires a dose of spiritualism to understand and solve the more complex phenomenon of today’s universe.

In this spiritual revolution, India will not play the key role rather it will be the US only which will play take the lead. Of course the Hindu Society of US will provide the required impetus and inspiration for such a movement which shall be very much intensified after 50 years, when US will have a Hindu population of 20% thru migrations and thru self-motivated conversions of persons mainly belonging to Christian faiths at present.

If one will look at the exponential growth rate of American Hindus in numbers and resources then it can be easily concluded that a Hindu population of 50% is not an impossible target for year 2100 AD for the USA. In fact, Caste system has proved itself an anti-thesis of Hinduism in India but in US there will be no such problem, because it shall be the CASTELESS HINDU SOCIETY of US, which will emerge as a big spiritual force and movement in this century ultimately.

US NEED GANDHI NOW
by: Dev Daas on Sep 25 2004 7:41AM in Religion

What does the Statue of LIBERTY means? It is not only a liberty from slavery only. It perhaps has some deeper meaning. What is that? Is it the thought of greed and arrogance, which is eating US from inside in spite of its external robust appearance? Sometimes I feel very disgusted when I see Americans are not humble yet even after the setback of 9/11. I am not a pacifist, who sees everything bad in a war, but when I notice the Ego, greed and lust is still ruling the psyche of Americans then I just feel very bad. If US will get spoiled than Globe will be spolied. US have to lead the Globe in this century. It is a fact.
US are really a great country but it always remained a little confused due to lack of religion/ spirituality. But almost every other nation is having a jealousy / hatred with US due to its prosperity. Although whenever they are in trouble they will look towards US only. It is something ethically wrong. I have seen Indians complaining abt US but when their son/ daughter get a job there they become fan of US.

If US have arrogance then other nations have more dangerous attributes of hatred and jealousy with US. I don't want to see US spoil it. I just want it should get a soul. Its soul is real Hinduism or Spiritualism. When it will have its soul then Materialism / Capitalism will vanish automatically. But not an Indian Hindu but only a Native American Hindu can do this Charisma which will result in the all round transformation of American Society & USA.

Moreover, I also feel that US need a Gandhi or Vivekananda now. There are so many Bill gates, Rockefellers and Warren Buffets in USA but there is no trace of any tiny Gandhi even in such a wonderful and versatile nation. India has already produced many Gandhis & Vivekananda. I think it is now the turn of the democracy of US to produce a Hindu Gandhi to ensure a durable peace and prosperity across the Globe.

DD-18: A ‘Pure Libra Girl’ Hate to Mate with 'Cancer Male'

by: Dev Daas on Sep 26 2004 1:38AM

In late July 1997, we got a proposal from the family of a UAE setteled Engineer Guy, who was extremely handsome and earning well. He was also from the same Caste only. His parents were settled in our town only and one day I and Singh visited visited them to have further dialogues with them. They went thru the album of Gudiya and become more interested, and wanted to see her personally now. They also provided us more photos of the boy alongwith his Horoscope. They were also not interested in Dowry etc. Both of us were happy, when we came back to give this news to Gudiya and her Mother. Mother was also very happy to hear our report & see his photos, but Gudiya was seriously looking thru his horoscope now after going thru his photographs. She was silently listening our conversations but made no reaction and comment so far. I was more interested in her reaction only at this development than mine or anyone else.

Therefore, I told her in front of everyone: Everything seems to be very favorable now. When the Boy will come back in the year end then you will get married because I am very sure that neither his parents nor the Guy are going to reject you, when they will come to see you personally before formally confirming the alliance. You should be happy at this development?

Now she broke her silence but with a grim face only now to say: I will not marry this Boy. There is no need to pursue this alliance any more.

Every one of us was taken aback to hear this. Her parents were speechless only and after a while I took the lead to quiz her.

I asked: But why? Are you declining becoz he is settled in UAE, an Islamic country? But let me tell you that UAE is very different & liberal than those rouge Islamic nations like Saudi Arabia, Iraq & Iran etc. You will not have any difficulty in living over there. Moreover, once you are out of India then it becomes easier to migrate to US. One generally come into contact with American Companies and work culture abroad.

She said: No, that’s not the reason. I am prepared to live in Hell, provided I marry the man of my choice.

I aksed again: Then why you are rejecting this poor chap? UAE is certainly not the hell, one may enjoy better living there than India at least.

Moreover, you will also have full rights to decline when you will see this boy in person. But why you are taking such a harsh decision when you have not seen him in person yet. All other things seem to be very good only. At presnt his parents wants to see you and we have to suggest them a date so that they may come. But the final decision will be taken only when both of you will approve each other.

She said: This Boy is a Cancer, and I am not going to marry Cancer male at least.

Her parents were crest-fallen only and lost passions now. They started criticizing her once again by saying this Girl is not going to be married. Their hopes were again fixed on me, and left the discussions to me at this stage. I was also more puzzled now than before. It reminded me the instance of Mahabharta, when Karna was about to pierce the EYE of revolving fish in the Draupadi Swanyvar, but gave up his attempt, when Draupadi declared- She will not marry to the Soot-Putra.

However, I asked once again: What is this Cancer? The Guy is a RAJ-PUTRA only and not a Soot-Putra like Karna.

She Said: Once I told you that Caste is immaterial for me then it will remain immaterial for me always. Cancer is the Sun Sign of the Boy?

I said: What is the Sun Sign?

She said: His DOB is July 5th therefore he is a Cancer.

I said: But I don’t think you are a qualified Astrolger or Pandit to make any such judgement. It is better if we leave this aspect for the study and comments of some astrologer/ Pandit, if you have so much faith in horoscope matching. However, I don’t have much faith in the Horoscope matching in these times.

She said: I also do not believe in Horoscope Matching, but SunSign is different. I am a Libra Girl and he is Cancer, therefore this match is not compatiable.

I said: I do not understand all this Business at all. All I can do to consult a professional Astrologer on this matter. I know one, who is although Kayastha by caste but doing this business with more precision and professionalism than the traditional Pandits. He is highly educated and now retired from a high profile Govt Job. My wife got prepared the Birthcharts and Horoscope of my kids from him only; therefore I got a chance to talk to him personally and found him well-informed and sincere about his business.

Mr.Singh: That’s OK, we will consult him at the earliest.

She: You can show him my original horoscope to get his comments but there is no need to carry the horoscope of this boy for matching. I know very well that Cancer Males are least appropriate for the Librans then why should I take any chance. I can survive without a marriage but do not want to make experiments with marriage. One can’t do marriage again and again.

Singhji was very agitated now and I was also stunned and speechless. Therefore I decided to take a take a leave now so that this issue could be discussed between me and her calmly next day.

DeviDas-19: Libra Girl spotted an ARIES Male in me

by: Dev Daas on Sep 27 2004 9:33AM

I was taken aback by her refusal initially but then started admiring her guts and determination in my heart gradually. She is living in practically hopeless circumstances and has ripe age for marriage, especially in their Caste, but even then she is not willing to compromise on the choice of her mate i.e. husband. I preyed to God in my heart to provide her such a husband only, which is living in her dreams.

But I was naïve in this Sun sign Business. I had very little faith in the astrology or horoscope etc, but I was also not very critical of those, who had full faith in it. My mind was now occupied with the Sun sign/ horoscope now. Next day when I reached her house her father was not available. I felt it is good because in his absence I can talk to her more frankly and freely to understand her problem. May be Sun sign is only an excuse to conceal the real reason. Such a beautiful girl may easily have some affair also.

I was thinking that she may be serious or sad today but to my surprise I found her in a very jolly mood. I decided in my heart that I will talk to her seriously without any alibis, so that she is forced to tell the real truth before me, if she had not disclosed to me so far.

I said: Why you have refused such a fantastic match? Is it really the Sun sign or something else, which you did not wanted to disclose before your parents.
She felt little awkward by my question and said: What do you mean? What else it can be?

Now, I was a bit uneasy, but said: No…no. I mean- is it really the Sun sign compatibility or any other thing, which you have felt is not compatible. Like height or his face, which is definitely not so charming like yours is. But men are like this only. Not every Hero even has a lovely face like DevaNanda had.

She said smilingly now: Oh… now I got it. I like more the TDH sort of man than those, who are very fair or have very sharp features. But let me tell you very clearly that there can not be any compromise on the issue of Sun sign. Cancer is out of question and Capricorn is also my last priority, all other 10 sun signs are OK with me. I don’t know why you people can’t accommodate my such a small wish even.

I : But here the question is not of a ‘wish’ but of ‘wistful thinking’.
She become a little sad now and said: How can you say that? Of course, you are a genius and I have deepest regards for your multi-color wisdom. It is because of you only that today we are getting offers from suitable boys. But that does not mean that I do not have any brain. Are you aware of Sun signs? If not then how can you say that my wish is ridiculous.

I was a little perplexed now, because she had a point. I thought in my heart that she is definitely more intelligent than any female I have met so far. It is impossible to befool her and it is not easy to convince her without powerful logic.

I said politely now: Tell me what this Sun sign is?

She said: Tell me your DOB then I will tell you what your sun sign is?

I said: It is 11th April 1959.

She said instantly with a broad smile on her face: Then you are an Aries. Your character also perfectly matches with Aries only.

But I remembered my ‘Rashi’ very well in my ‘JanmPatri’ (Horoscope), which was ‘Vrisha’ i.e. Taurus. I argued with her therefore, that I am not a Mesha (Aries), but Vrisha (Taurus), because it is also mentioned in my birth chart. Then she told me that as per DOB, you are an Aries and not a Taurus by any chance. She insisted that by your Nature also, you are more close to Aries.

But I always considered myself like a ‘Bull’ only; therefore I did not like her explanation, because at that time Aries meant ‘Sheep’ in my mind. I contested her claims by asserting that Western system may not be as authentic as our Indian/Hindu System. Moreover, my Birth Chart was prepared by a renowned Panditji of our area, and there is no scope of any error in it. She was also not very sure of her knowledge and gave up by saying that if you want then you can read yourself, what is written in the book on Sun signs written by Linda Goodman.

I was stubborn at that time on such issues, therefore I told her, why should I read any such book to create more confusion in my mind, when I am sure that I am a ‘Vrisha’( Taurus) only. My nature is also like a Bull and not like a Sheep. In local Stock Market Circles also, I am known as BULL only.

She said: What she can do, when a person born on 11th April can never be anything else than an Aries as per Sun Sign or Linda Goodman.

I said: Who is this Linda Goodman? Is he something like God, whose word is so authentic for you?

She said: She, not He. Linda Goodman was a woman. She seems to be very logical and convincing to me. You also turned out to be an Aries, a perfectly aggressive male as described by her. This only reinforces my belief in the sun signs.

But if I was stubborn then she was also very diplomatic therefore she requested me with a smile on her face to read it at once for her pleasure & satisfaction only, because she has lot of faith in this book.

There was no choice before me, when she made such a polite gesture. I said OK, I will read it to remove your confusions and illusions mainly. She said, that’s OK, but she will give me the book in a Day or Two after marking important paras, so that I do not miss anything important, if I go thru it casually even. I said, OK, OK, do whatever you wish but I can tell you one thing that in this area of Astrology, Indian Knowledge is definitely superior than Western Knowledge, although I also feel that lot of such knowledge has been destroyed during the Islamic Periods, because many Islamist targeted Hindu Books, University and Temples of learning in India during their millennium old rule in India.
