GOD is Real in ME

On the boring Saturday afternoon, I was just flipping through some channels and was searching if some movie is coming or not. OMG - Oh my God! was the only movie coming and I set to watch it. This movie set me thinking and made we realise that in India in the name of God, people are deceived which has become evident from the recent incidents in the past. All Religions are equal, just the way of chanting God's name is different in each of them. Who is a "bhakt" of God or a true "sant"?  The person dressed in "orange" whom you see mostly coming at your place or in trains asking for "dakshina"? or the persons carrying out terrorist activities in the name of God?

We have been taught from our early childhood that there is a Supreme soul above who protects us and cares for us. Some people find their God in temples, some in Gurudwara while some in Church. Idol worship is different from God worship. God is within us. When we pray in front of idol, actually we are praying to God within us. In India, before making marriage, kundlis are matched or manglik status is checked when a child gets born. God has never placed any "dosh" in anybody's kundli or has not created anyone "phursat se". "Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, there is no truth superior to Me. All this Universe, Every living being & Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread." (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Seven verse 7). If things go against us, we tend to believe that something is wrong in our stars, then the whole process begins - Fixing appointment with astrologer or a pundit, "scrutinizing" your kundli and your past life and consequently, burning a hole in your pocket. Wearing expensive rings made of ruby or sapphire never takes down "dosh" from anyone's kundli. "Sri Krishna said: You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty." 

 In the name of religion, we create hatred and violence. There is no wrong in performing anti-caste marriages. Religion is made for humans ... human is not made for religion. Believe in God without fear. "Sri Krishna said : O Arjuna, Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me, and offer your homage unto Me. Thus You will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My dear friend."

INDIAN GENERAL ELECTIONS 2014 weds SOCIAL MEDIA

One Person = 1 vote.
If you DON'T VOTE, then DON'T COMPLAIN.
The term of Prime Minister will conclude on 31st May 2014 and India will held its 16th Lok Sabha elections. Indian youth, for sure, must be dwindling between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, the most sought-after PM candidates of the country. A person who can vote must exercise its option in a very judicial manner after taking into account pros and cons of each candidate. The most important thing is to GO OUT and VOTE!

With the hype of Social media, nation youth has got the platform to make their voices heard and it has become evident from the incidents in the past. If something happens somewhere, the first thing is Status Update or a tweet. The best form of advertising is social media. Election season is buzzing on. Yesterday were the Chief Minister elections and next is the Grand Finale - Lok Sabha Elections 2014 and now comes the role of Social media. Welcome to the world of Twitter and Facebook and now the revolutionary WeChat and WhatsApp. Whatever comes to the mind gets shared instantly. Social media plays a great role to mobilize the youth to go out and vote. In the world of digitization, the formulae for success is Social media. Creating groups, pages, sharing updates, posting tweets increases vibrancy to vote and increases the engagement. The day is not far when the voting will go online. The success of social media and facebook, in particular, in catalysing change is predicated from the voter turnout in Delhi elections. Indian politicians and political parties largely use social media to market their campaigns. It helps as an  "accelerator" in conveying their messages to the public at large. Most political information is conveyed with the help of groups and pages on networking sites.

So, BE the CHANGE you want to SEE. Login to your facebook or twitter account, create groups, spread awareness, tweet as much as you can! Change the Face of India or in short -

WELCOME TO (NEW )INDIA!
