					<description>Hello Sir,
       Yes, I agree with your every single word and I would like to include an important thing which is affecting India very badly which is CORRUPTION. I think by controlling corruption we can have major changes in our nation. And I am really worried about our media, As Dr. Kalam mentioned in the above letter, MEDIA is not thinking in a right way and this is because, even media got corrupted. Actually, I really respect MEDIA; media is one of the powerful things which can change the world, so I request media people to think in a way to develop a nation. And coming to cleanliness &amp;#38; decency it is the responsibility of every person who live in India. And finally I would request all my brothers &amp;#38; sisters not to get corrupted and “LOVE everyone &amp;#38; RESPECT their values”……………..Be Proud to be an INDIAN.</description>

		<title>Comment on I HAVE THREE VISIONS FOR INDIA by idea-of-oneness</title>
		<link>http://www.uttishthata.org/2007/07/20/three-visions/#comment-1562</link>

					<description>Sir,
I respect your thoughts, but somehow i do not visualise any of that you do.

I remember Swami Vivekananda's words-

&quot;But mark you, if you give up that spirituality, leaving it aside to go after the materialising civilisation of the West, the result will be that in three generations you will be an extinct race; because the backbone of the nation will be broken, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built will be undermined, and the result will be annihilation all round.( CW3 REPLY TO THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME AT RAMNAD )

&quot;In India, religious life forms the centre, the keynote of the whole music of national life; and if any nation attempts to throw off its national vitality the direction which has become its own through the transmission of centuries that nation dies if it succeeds in the attempt. And, therefore, if you succeed in the attempt to throw off your religion and take up either politics, or society, or any other things as your centre, as the vitality of your national life, the result will be that you will become extinct. To prevent this you must make all and everything work through that vitality of your religion. Let all your nerves vibrate through the backbone of your religion.&quot; 

&quot;You must go out to preach your religion, preach it to every nation under the sun, preach it to every people. This is the first thing to do. And after preaching spiritual knowledge, along with it will come that secular knowledge and every other knowledge that you want; but if you attempt to get the secular knowledge without religion, I tell you plainly, vain is your attempt in India, it will never have a hold on the people. Even the great Buddhistic movement was a failure, partially on account of that.&quot;

&quot;We must go out, we must conquer the world through our spirituality and philosophy. There is no other alternative, we must do it or die. The only condition of national life, of awakened and vigorous national life, is the conquest of the world by Indian thought. &quot;

 
&quot;Religion and religion alone is the life of India, and when that goes, India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social reforms, in spite of Kubera's wealth poured upon the head of every one of her children.&quot;


In the above context, India has nowhere progressed but has deteriorated.

I can see that all the above qoutes are coming true today. The annihilation is there,  and even in 10% grow after 10% in 10% growth and all other feel good factors, we have disparities rising, the actual poverty (not the govet fig based on 275rs/month calculations), 50%   malnourished children, 70% dropout rate in education, thousands of farmers suicidng..... And these numbers havent come down, but are rising. Disparities and farmers suicidies are rising much faster than gdp and sensex, the malnourished children and dropout rates also.

India is dying as it was rightly predicted by one of our great leaders before. A nation where 23% people are poor i.e the number of people who earn less than 275 Rs/month (who sleep with stray dogs) and a nation where 50%   people are malnourished, where the sucide rates of farmers is much more than the stock market performance and gdp..its difficult to survive as a human race. A nation cant survivie as a human race if it cant feed its majority people, and where only a group of people benefit from all the growth and progress.

Also, the words of Vivekananda are forgotten, and if the effects of that which are predicted in his thoughts are probable to be true, then we I can visualise something very different from what stock market anaylsts, economists and our government and people do.</description>

					<description>I have worked extensively on Swamiji's voice. I have checked various sources including the Chicago Historical Society, Library of Congress etc. There is no recording of Swamiji's voice at that time - there are technological and other reasons for my saying so. Also Swamiji was NOT introduced by a lady as in the voice recording you refer to. The ovation lasted for minutes whereas this recording shows less than a minute. It Is Obviously NOT an original recording. I am glad you are saying in your note that this is not in Swamiji's voice. But the wrong impression is being conveyed by quoting this recording. I think it was a good idea to reproduce the speech text, but the voice - no.

					<description>Krishna says first thing in the Bhagavad gita, that this body is temporary and it is of dead matter. so dont worry about this body too much and also he talks about karma which means we are what we are according to our previous activities. So there is no point in complaining about our present situation because we desrve what we have. Yes as humans we must be compassionate to other people's traumas but that doesnt mean we make malicious statements of equating god with humans, no way god is god, man is man and dog is dog.  There is a differance between each living entity. we must recognise the material differance. Spiritually yes we are all one but that does not mean we are all materially same.  Recognise the distinction first then only u can proceed. Dont get into analysing things which u dont know. 

Krishna says in the bhagavad gita unequivocally that &quot;He is the Supreme Lord. No one is more superior to him&quot;. So ur saying that living god, dead god wats all this man, stupid fool go and read and dont interpret u dumbo, u think u got the brains to interpret the supreme lord's words idiot. Just accept man u foolish upstart with a facade of dogooder . 
Pls dont publish or send these kind of malicious, blasphemous mails anymore, U have no idea to the disservice that ur doing to  lord Sri krishna and his pure and sublime teachings. 
Better shut ur mouth and maintain ur family, Dont get into giving lectures on lord krishna or his teachings ur simply not good ok.</description>
