WHAT IS KIRTAN ??????

Kirtan is a form of devotional chanting whose roots go back over 500 years to India. It is a form of Bhakti Yoga (yoga of devotion) and has the power to open the heart. The singing is accompanied by musical instruments and rhythmic drumming and the audience is encouraged to participate by chanting, clapping and dancing. You will not be able to resist the urge to join in! In its heartfelt expression kirtan can induce profound states of meditation, bliss and ecstasy.

There is a sweet sound vibration that permeates through all layers of coverings and makes God dance. That sound vibration is Kirtan. It is a mysterious connection that draws people to each other.

We are guaranteed life and liberty, but kirtan is the means and end toward achieving the happiness that people are searching for.

Through the chanting of the names of God, kirtan awakens the soul to its natural position, connects with God, clears the heart of all the distractions that can stress one living in this high tech age, and at the very least, make a person feel better about their day through the wonderful music.

LIVING MAHATMA GANDHI......FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM- ANNA HAZARE

Please go through the details carefully & try to be part of this mission against corruption.

Things to know about Anna Hazare and Lok pal Bill-:



1.Who is Anna Hazare?

An ex-army man(Unmarried). Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War.



2.What's so special about him?

He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra



3.This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from

solar power, biofuel and wind mills. In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one

of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly &

harmonic village.



4.This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social

activities.



5.He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.



6. How that can be possible?

He is advocating for a Bill, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an

autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), bureaucrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for

their deeds.



7. It's an entirely new thing right..?

In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been

neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit their theft

(corruption).

8. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be

possible in such a short span of time?

The first thing he is asking for is: the govt should come forward and announce that the bill is

going to be passed.

Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the LOK PAL BILL. 50% government participation and 50%

public participation. Bcoz u can't trust the govt entirely for making such a bill which does not

suit them.



9.What will happen when this bill is passed?

A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election

Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all

alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished.





Existing System
System Proposed by civil society
No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite huge evidence because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come under the government. Before starting investigation or initiating prosecution in any case, they have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated. Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be independent bodies. ACB and CBI will be merged into these bodies. They will have power to initiate investigations and prosecution against any officer or politician without needing anyone’s permission. Investigation should be completed within 1 year and trial to get over in next 1 year. Within two years, the corrupt should go to jail.
No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented. Lokpal and Lokayukta will have complete powers to order dismissal of a corrupt officer. CVC and all departmental vigilance will be merged into Lokpal and state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta.
No action is taken against corrupt judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges.
Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have powers to investigate and prosecute any judge without needing anyone’s permission.
Nowhere to go - People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaints.
Lokpal & Lokayukta will have to enquire into and hear every complaint.
There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance departments. Their functioning is so secret that it encourages corruption within these agencies. All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be transparent. After completion of investigation, all case records shall be open to public. Complaint against any staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and punishment announced within two months.
Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of anti-corruption agencies. Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections of Chairperson and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a transparent and public participatory process.
Citizens face harassment in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior officers also get their cut. Lokpal & Lokayukta will get public grievances resolved in time bound manner, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guilty officer and award that amount as compensation to the aggrieved citizen.
Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.
Loss caused to the government due to corruption will be recovered from all accused.

Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years. Enhanced punishment - The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.............




PSYCHOLOGY OF YOGA.......

The great mysteries in our lives are the understanding of our personality, how we relate with other people and the world around us, and our place, if any, in the vast scheme of things. The other question we face is how we can improve our personal experience and our interactions with society, so that we live a happy, harmonious and helpful life. For thousands of years yoga has been addressing these questions and supplying the answers to them..............

LEARNING THE ART OF DETACHMENT



Just as you learn the art of cooking, dancing or painting, in the same way, you learn the art of detachment. Nobody has ever told you to learn the art of detachment. You have always been told to learn the art of attachment, to become attached, to collect, claim, own and possess. You think that if you become detached, you have to leave everything behind, but that is wrong. In order to become detached, you don't have to leave anything. You can still own, possess and enjoy, but with an attitude of detachment.

Why is it necessary to have the idea of ownership, of my wife, my husband, my children, my car, my house, my job, my money, my wealth and status? You can enjoy and have it without that idea, but you have to learn the art. In Sanskrit detachment is called vairagya. It is one of the prerequisites of yoga. In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (1:12), it says that to become accomplished in yoga there are only two things you need, one is abhyasa, constant uninterrupted practice for a long period of time, and the second is vairagya. Vairagya does not mean renunciation. We have this misconceived notion that if we become detached, we have to give up the person we love and the things we own. That is a wrong understanding.

Detachment is an important quality in order to improve the quality of your experience. If you have a negative approach to life and a negative experience of life, that is the quality of your mind. If you are unhappy, it is the quality of your mind. If you think everything is hopeless, that is the quality of your mind, and if you think everything is wonderful, that is the quality of your mind. If you cultivate detachment, you begin to enjoy life, because you don't have obsessions about things and you enjoy everything simply for what it is.

Detachment has to be attained while performing, not by renouncing your duties. You have to practise detachment wherever you are. You have to live life to the fullest extent because that is what you are born for, but live it with a different attitude, so that every moment is a joy and a learning experience even in difficulties. Life is definitely a struggle. Difficulties follow you, but with detachment you have the strength to face them and they don't shatter, destroy or unbalance you. They become an experience like any other by which you rise, learn and become stronger.

What is Stress? Cause, Symptoms and Remedies

STRESS DEFINED

Stress is the result of placing undue expectations or desire on us, creating images of our

self and trying to live up to the image that has been created by others. It is an interaction

between the person and their (work) environment and is the awareness of not being able

to cope with the demands of one’s environment, when this realization is of concern to the

person, in that both are associated with a negative emotional response.

Are sexuality and divinity two extremes?

Sex is, was and will remain the biggest issue in men and women’s lives. It is craved and yet it is taboo! It is desired, hated, dreamed about, grabbed forcefully, wished for and condemned – all at the same time! This is the eternal truth about sex!
