SAMSKRIT AS FIRST LANGUAGE OF HARYANA !

a few years back uttarakhand accepted n declared samskrit as it's second language n it created more than a wave of exuberance among the linguist fraternity in the world ! letters of congratulations n adulation reached the erstwhile leaders of uttarakhand. it was a sort of inviting goddess ganga from the heights to the plains to bless our lives. although symbolic it has silently worked out n certainly this fact was proof that samskrit is highly live around n if she is beckoned to guide n lead the indian, european n other languages, she is eternally capable of rediscovering n reinventing her self to affirmatively further the mundane n divine destinies of india n the world at large !

haryana is mother to the celestial language as much as it is home to the celestial song gita whose 5151 years we r set to celebrate a couple of weeks ahead. according to manu n other sources haryana has the rare fortune of having the land called brahmaavarta, the epicenter n pivot of the vedic culture that spread cultural n civilizational moorings to distant destinations on the globe. kurukshetra, the tirtha now comprising of about 5 districts, is the chief among the brahmarshidesha-s - the others being matsya(surrounding alwar in rajasthan), panchala( surrounding kannauj in u.p.) n shurasena(now mathura). thus now the sarasvati river valley civilization having been established as the largest n most important,, has certainly brought credit to the glory of haryana. the veda-s n the prasthaanatrayii of the advaita of s'ankara can be seen as chiefly a contribution of kurukshetra. along with the bhagavadgita, the vishnusahasranamastotra told by bhishma to yudhisthira while reclining on the bed of arrows,was also born in kurukshetra. before rajarshi kuru n after him, before buddha n after him, kurukshetra n haryana have been in the forefront in creation n dissemination of knowledge, both divine, sacred n secular. according to legends kurukshetra is credited with the first appearance of  the human race which gradually migrated to near n distant corners of the earth.

in this respect it may be a subject of discussion to have  the conviction n will to declare samskrit as the first language of haryana. then samskrit can take care of hindi, haryanvi n punjabi etc languages n dialects contributing to their development n freeing them from borrowing from foreign sources idioms to cope up with contemporay needs of expression. samskrit is the soul and breath of indian culture and foundational framework. whenever india speaks, she speaks from the core of her millenium-ancient experience n certainly without samskrit coming up to whisper in indian ears their unity, spiritual strength n vitality, the oldest nation of the world can not discharge her historic task n can't play her mother's role in transformimg humanity for a greater tomorrow.

with samskrit coming up as the first language, haryana will loose nothing, the other languages will too loose nothing, but haryana will claim back what is just to her pride n position, as the cradle of the human story which looks up to our perennial values much more than ever ! om.

SAMSKRITAM IN AUDIO-VISUAL MEDIA !!!

the electronic media is ruling contemporary minds: it creates recreates n executes ideas in our global society turning it in to a shared-knowledge-village ! india has been always in the fore- front in knowledge creation n dissemination ! we gave to the world the idea of broadcasting knowledge that is mundane n that is perennial. samskrit is the major storehouse of such knowledge, traditions of goodness n greatness, of elevated individual n society, of fearlessness, of pleasure, happiness, joy n bliss ! when the electronic n print media are emitting n vomiting dividing n debilitating ideas of corruption, criminality n hedonism to the plight of young minds, why can't we put up our  mega culture that shaped us through the centuries n millenniums in a just perspective to offer a positive alternative ? knowledge is food for the soul to thrive n visualize course of decisive action to shape present n future ! this can be largely addressed to by putting up in the air a global samskritam channel to offer to humanity yajna-prasaada, the godly and all-humane gift that is immediately or a little remotely indigenous for all ! the channel may survive on ads of good healthy and positive ides and objects that help the environment internal n external. when so much wealth is squandered in so many ways, why can this not be possible?this will instill samskrit in people's consciousness, benefit all with benign mantrik: psycho-neuro- logical benign effects, deliver to people first-hand indian perennial ideas in their original idioms !industrialists, men of wealth, religious organizations, men of great means n will abroad: the list can be endless, or even a fakir with divine blessings may come forward !!

Tolerance & Intolerance

tolerance and intolerance both are negative. normally tolerant and intolerant one happens to be. mundane affairs push one to that end. not willing even one can't help. to tolerate is to tolerate the intolerable which is painful. not to tolerate is to think, speak or act against something or someone that one fails to tolerate. this also is painful. thinking, speaking and acting to get rid of that which is intolerable may entail further kinds of repurcussions and challenges which may be even worse. this is the predicament of arjuna in the mahabharata. he neither could tolerate pandavas' plight nor could he initially stand the challenges of the battle !

what then may be the solution to see some better light in our day to day unpleasant situation ? everyday at the day's end you may be carrying home tolerances and intolerances of various kinds ! the baggage may empty your possibilities of domestic happiness or happiness in office the following day. you certainly can't leave home or leave office. suppose you do so, where you go next, there too the same things will follow.

here the lord meets the situation by turning to tolerance and intolerance with a dose of equanimity which simply smiles in the face of all odds. na dainyam na palaayanam: neither self-pity nor flight !  then should one fall idle, lie down and show the other cheek to the tormentor ? no, one should act in the present but without acrimony, unrest and unruliness. negative forces provoke you to take to war in mind, speech and sudden burst of action, but positive force approaches you with calm fortitude and conviction and gently leads you to righteous action. this is dharma which is an outcome of the power of goodness. and certainly this culminates in goodness all around. but it's difficult to tolerate the apparently intolerable and more hazardous it may be to go intolerant and hasten to think, speak and act under satans of all kinds !
