The need arose, propelled by the Indian Emergence, to start a new blog https://www.eastrovedica.com/wordpress/ OF WORLD PEACE It is heartening to note, That the Indian PM's name, Hath been recommended, For establishing World Peace ! "My chariots shall not be bloody, Till the earth records my name", Said the conscientious Buddha, As he renounced War. Milton averred " Peace hath her victories, No less renouned than War " ! Man's essential nature is Peace, War is only an abnormality ! How can a Nation which declares Peace, Aum Shanti, Shanti, advocate War ? From the ethical, moral angle, Peace gets Fame, and War notoriety ! Love cognised is Truth Love in action is Non VIolence Love as pure Being is Wisdom Love as Feeling is Peace. Yet, many believe that war is a necessity biologic, An outlet for the human desire to compete and excel ! Conquest by force is only half victory, True victory is conquest by Love ! Harmony has to be established, And perfection worked out. We have to effectuate the Divine, In a conflicting and contradicting world ! We have been instructed, To rise from Non Being to Being, Asado Ma Sad Gamaya, And to rise from Darkness to Light. In other words, From the Negative to the Positive. But we have a big problem here, As we are confronted by qualities negative ! We have seen Death, But not Immortality ! Mrutyor Ma Amritam Gamaya, Appears to be difficult ! Death, Non Being, Ignorance, Darkness, adversity, disease, All these we have seen, But never experienced the Positive ! Qualties Negative, Are merely the first terms of the Formula, Unintellible to us, Till we work out its esoteric terms ! These qualities negative, Are merely initial discords Of the Musician's symphony, Didnt He create a world miserable ? That too deliberately flawing perfection, Of His Own Creation ? The discords of the world are Lord's discords, To unfold the Godhead within us? The tormenting Evil is He, As well as the Redeeming Grace ! Oru Kai Praharikkave Maru Kai kondu thalodum Easwaran ! Only when we have an integral vision, Can we see beyond all masks, The serene and lovely face, Of the All Blissful Godhead ! His tests test our imperfection, True friemd is He and Heart, the Teacher ! Mind is the greatest Guru, And world, the true Book ! Let us be what the Seer Poets recommended, What Lord Krishna recommended to Arjuna, Realised souls viewing Becoming, Under the metaphor of Being ! Let us rise from Death to Self Realisation, From the Darkness of Nescience to Light Supernal, From the mirage of Non Being to True Being, Thus fulfilling that eternal Prayer Asato Ma Sadgamaya ! Did not Bhagavan Aurobindo, Say that Strive and thou shalt have ? Trust and thy trust shall be justified ? That the Divine Crown is within our reach ? That we have to overcome the Negative, And reach the Positive ! And Implement Positivity, Then only shall the world be redeemed ! The Kingdom of Heaven, Is both worldly and transworldly To implement this Rama Rajya, India, US and Russia exist !

Our socialist friends say that Sanskrit & Hindi are being enforced by the Centre. They have to be enforced ( at least in CBSE syllabus & Navodaya ), as one is a Scholarly Language and the other, National Language.Those who are against may be eyeing narrow, political gains !

Banana, antidote to constipation !



I had a problem after my piles operation. Hard stools were coming out with blood, even after the operation ! I panicked, but solved the problem.

"A Banana a day keeps constipation away" was proved true, as I incorporated one ripe banana in my daily diet. My Doctor had told me to lay off non vegetarian and hot food and so I became a vegan ! Hot and sour foods have been eschewed, Eggs are taboo !

Once I made the dietary changes, constipation stopped. I was wondering how I got piles in the first place. If the tertiary cause was piles, the secondary cause was constipation and the primary cause was constipating foods. So I avoid all constipating foods. No milk, as it is dehydrating. No alcohol, as it is also constipating. Fruits and veggies are best

Before my morning tea, I have 3 glasses of water and so I get smooth motion. Now motion and digestion are OK and gone is my constipation !


Isnt constipation the root cause of all diseases ?
