Swami Vivekananda's 1893 Chicago speech at Parliament of the World's Religions

 On Swami Vivekananda's 150th birth anniversary, here's the full text of his famous Chicago speech through which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions, Chicago in 1893.

September 11, 1893

Sisters and Brothers of America It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. l thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions; and I thank you in the name of the millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects. My thanks, also, to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these men from far-off nations may well claim the honor of bearing to different lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to the southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by millions of human beings:

Swami Vivekananda introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions through his Chicago speech.

As the different streams having there sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to thee.

The present convention, which is one of the most august assemblies ever held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the world, of the wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita:

Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him; all men are struggling through paths which in the end lead to me.

Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilization, and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal.......

अलविदा २०१३ , the year of revolution

What a year 2012 was, all around the world it has seen so many civil uprising against monarchy many with the help of violence though.
But for us,it was a year of India's awakening, against pseudo democracy ,I cherish the way India displayed herself showing the world that yes it is the true land of Gandhi and Buddha. 
The peaceful protest still has it's power. I heartily thank to all those who you brought India together,there effort and suffering shown the young people the suffering of Bhagat Singh and all other brave-hearts during freedom struggle, these people will remain in the heart of young India forever. It also taught us a lesson that we can not and should not take any thing for granted.....and we have to be in continuous fight with devil inside us for the better India and better world.
I am sad because few thing could have been done in better way and with mournful prayer I tribute my new year celebration to all these brave-hearts who suffered one way or other.....With hope that in New Year '2013 we all will be able to win our-self and rise up to the occasion when country/society/world demand.....!! Wishing you all Happy and strengthening New Year 2013....!!

राह कौन सी जाऊ मै?

राह कौन सी जाऊ मै?
चौराहे पर लुटता चीर,
प्यादे से पिट गया वजीर!
चलूँ आखिरी चाल की बाज़ी या छोर विरक्ति रचाऊं?

राह कौन सी जाऊ मै?

सपना जन्मा और मर गया!
मधु ऋतू में भी बैग झर गया,तिनके बिखरे बटोरूँ मै या नयी शक्ति सजाऊं मै?
राह कौन सी जाऊ मै?

दो दिन मिले उधार में घाटे के व्यापार में!
क्षण क्षण का हिसाब जोरूं या पूंजी शेष लुटून मै?
राह कौन सी जाऊ मै?
                                   ... श्री अटल बिहारी बाजपाई!

Vote polarization in Uttar Pradesh

As election is on roll in Uttar Pradesh each party is busy in polarizing votes in their favor. U.P. is a very big and diverse state and this diversity provides big scope to all political players to exploit it.

I see UP as smaller image of Bharat (India), where we are first Gujarati, Marathi and Bihari e.t.c and then we are Bhartiya, in the same sense in UP we are Banarasi, Kanpuria, lakhnowi and Budelkhandi e.t.c but never a Uttar pradeshi... In-fact I have never heard name UttarPradeshi.

So there is no sense on oneness...we lack unity; and that is the reason we are poor country and thus poor state.

Politician know this fact very well, this is not all, there is one more diversity..that is religion and cast.

So UP politics is roam around three basic principle region, religion and cast. Region polarization can be seen as the voice from few section to create different state to ensure better management and growth...though it is a factor but I do not consider it as a major one. In my limited vision I see religion and cast as two big political considerable polarization point.

It is interesting phenomenon to observe how various political establishment articulate there words to attract these different section and how good they are in number calculation.

I remember few year back there was only one ruckus that was cast when a great opportunistic politician 'Sri Kanshiram' started cast based politics polarizing dalit votes.... portraying Mayawati as the dalit beti he gave a slogan "Tilak Tarju aur talwar inko maro jute char" this was very hit slogan and it gave a push to BSP in political arena.

Riding on dalit vote Mayawati became chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, but she forgot the same dalit. Because of this in very next election she had to do social networking and she started polarizing dalit and brahmin voter in her favor....she again became chief minister. This time around too she did not to any thing for her voters instead she kept her attention in making monuments.

And because of her ignorance and inability to do any thing for her voters she is going to pay heavy price in this election...because like her all the other parties are preparing to use all kind on polarization whether it is religion or cast...every one crying their hue and want to pursued voter in their favor.

This time no one is expecting clear majority mean UP is going nowhere in next five year....

I heard one writer saying that UP has not seen the worst till like Bihar that's why development is still not an agenda in UP's politics as off now...it means in next five year we are going to see those worst year and I am sure if no party is getting majority by itself then there will be fight between the collision and that will lead to painful situation for UP's inhabitants.

I just pray to god that my fellow UP wale take a regulation to vote in the favor of development ignoring all kind of bias e.g. religion.region and cast... I have taken this regulation and I will surely vote and vote for a better candidate...will you come with me....

Why I want to do MBA...

From last one year this question constantly haunts me... actually why I want to do MBA??

Frankly speaking till now I don't know why?? But yes I disparately want to do it....

From childhood till now all my academic decisions were prerogative of elders of my family...It was more like a master and follower relation....master told thee to do something and thy agreed to that...same way my uncle told me that I was good at math so I should do engineering( I am sure that he too would have not had knowledge about engineering) and I agreed...

With luck and prayer of love one's I cleared IIT-JEE, I remember it was first time during the counselling that I voiced my opinion that I want to join Msc-Mathematics in IIT-Kanpur which was to me seams the best option which was very easily ignored and I ended up doing my degree in Mechanical Engg..

But that was past story I do not have same pressure on me now...I can take my decision on my own( except some decisions) so now I want to do MBA by my choice not following my family mood of me being a IAS.

But now the real problem comes why do I want to do MBA??

There are two reason which I assume to be the real reason for my craving to do MBA...

1. I have not enjoyed any thing I have done so far neither my Mechanical Engg. nor my IT job.

2. I disparately want to be an entrepreneur and positively think business school will provide me a good insight and plate-form.

I have lately realized that I am good at two thing..

first:- I am an logical person and see every thing with an eye of engineer.

second:- I am good at connecting with people; I am good at putting myself at other shoe.

And last but not the least I want to go again into an institute with my own choice and live it with all my energy....

If you happen to see this post please do leave your suggestion...consider it my request....

Why I want to do MBA...

Pain of failure....

There is a great saying "After every night there will be morning and after every failure there will be success". From last one year I have been reminding this verse myself and were working towards my goal...This year as all my results are out I yet to taste success...

This year though all the difficulties I have faced I have realized one thing that if you crave for something it will elude you as in my case success....I know from bottom of my heart that my preparation this year was for better than that of last year but result shows the direct contrast...

Some where deep-down in my heart I know the reason but one part of me is not ready to buy that. Though that part is not listening I will still want to go ahead and write it down here just to make my other part feel better....

Last one year was the worst year of my life till now....from very beginning of year 2011 I had a very restless mind...which lead to unclear thought and this unclear mind prompt me to take some drastic decisions....

1. I decided against going to Argentina and thought of preparing for MBA.

2. Decided to so open resentment to my management instead of handling it diplomatically.

3. Decided to resign from company and to devote full time in preparation.

4. Last but not the least decided to settle personal relation.....

I rejoice first 3 but 4th caused a turmoil in my life ..... first time in life I realized how infirm I am..

This was the first time in my life (till now) that I went back on my words ...I said some thing meant something....My mind did not know what my mouth was saying....the every thing was utterly chaotic....

I had three front to confront with.... my Family....myself and some one I tremendously love...Being as stoical person I thought of taking every thing on me and tried to sooth rest two front......

logging off now....rest in next mail....
