શંકરજી, અમે તે એવા કયા ગુના કીધા રે?

દર્શને તમારા આવ્યા હતા અમે સીધા રે.... શંકરજી અમે તે એવા કયા ગુના કીધા રે?

ભક્તો તમને પૂજે, ગુણ તમારા ગવાય

તોય તમારા ભક્તોને તમે તણાવી દીધા રે... શંકરજી અમે તે એવા કયા ગુના કીધા રે?

ચાર ધામ જાતરાનો મહિમા બહુ ગવાય

એ જાતરાએ કેમ કરીને આવશે બધા રે... શંકરજી અમે તે એવા કયા ગુના કીધા રે?

યાત્રા ધામમાં લૂટફાટ, માનવતા ખોવાય!

માનવને પશુ તમે કેમ બનાવી દીધા રે.... શંકરજી અમે તે એવા કયા ગુના કીધા રે?

ત્રીજું નેત્ર ખોલ્યું ને તાંડવ કર્યું કહેવાય

ભક્તો પર જ કેમ તમે આટલા ખિજાયા રે.... શંકરજી અમે તે એવા કયા ગુના કીધા રે?

ગંગાજીને ઝીલ્યા હતાં, જટા કેમ ખોલાય?

નાથ, તમે કેટલાને અનાથ બનાવ્યા રે... શંકરજી અમે તે એવા કયા ગુના કીધા રે?

રાવણને લંકા, રામને વનવાસ, કેવો ન્યાય?

અત્યાચારી રાક્ષસો પર જ તમે કેમ રિઝાતા રે... શંકરજી અમે તે એવા કયા ગુના કીધા રે?

Ram Teri Ganga Krodhi Ho Gayee!

Ganga, which britishers and their mental slaves calls 'Ganges' is very powerful river as per Hindu mythology. There is one story about Ganga coming from 'Swarg' (heaven) to earth. King Bhagirath wanted to give salvation to his ancestors. For this he had to bring Ganga river on earth. No one else but only God Shiv (In English, it is wrongly spelled as Shiva) could catch Ganga's powerful stream and channelize it. Bhagirth prayed and thus Shiv cought Ganga in his 'Jata' (hair) and channelize power of Ganga. This story is also symbol of power of women.

Shiv idol in flood of Uttarakhand.

Women are called 'Shakti' in Hindu religious books. 'Shakti' means energy. If 'Shakti' is not channelized, it can destroy everything. What we are witnessing in some past days is nothing else but nature's fury. As per mythology, Ganga river was very difficult to control. Only Shiv could do it. In 'Mahabharat', King Shantanu fell in love of Ganga. He wanted to marry her, but Ganga put one condition : Don't ask me any question. What am I doing and why am I doing? If you ask me question, same moment I will leave you.

Days were passing. Ganga became pregnant. Gave birth to child. She threw her child in its river form. Then again she became pregnant. Again she threw her child in river. Shantanu was witnessing this with very pain, but was not able to ask why she was killing their child one after one as she had put condition. Thus Ganga killed her seven children who were actually incarnation of 'Vasu'. But when eighth child was born, Shantanu asked Ganga why she was killing her own children? Ganga told that children were incarnation of 'vasu'. They were born due to curse and they needed salvation. But now as Shantanu asked her question, she would leave him and would not throw eighth child in river. This eighth child was Devvrat who was known as Bhism later.

So, purpose of telling these myths are that Ganga is very powerful river. But in Uttarakhand, on name of development, numbers of dams are built and are being built on Ganga river. Enviornmentalist cautioned against it that due to this earthquake and flooding disasters can happen. And we can see that a major disaster has happened.

There are also floods near Christian pilgrimage site in France.

It is interesting that Kedarnath temple remained intact while all surroundings were destroyed in flood. We have seen idol of Shiv remained intact in flood. This is simply miracle. Interestingly, in France there are also floods and that also near the Catholic pilgrimage site in Lourdes. Site is closed due to flood. You can see this in above image. Gesus idol is in water.These two incidents show that all religions have one root. All Gods are one! Lets pray for pilgrimages trapped in disaster in Uttarakhand. Let's pray for world unity!  

Nitish and Modi : Chalo ek baar phir se ajnabi ban jaaye hum dono

After being in relationship for 17 long years, Janta Dal (U) and BJP parted ways. It is well known fact that both have choosen different paths after BJP elevated Modi as head of campaign committee. In 2003, Nitish Kumar had visited Kutch and predicted :

Modi will assume a significant role in national politics in Future.

See, how Nitish's prediction is proven true!

But I have different point to share with you readers. My point is that if you don't want to continue your relation, fine. Say good bye. But why fight? Why do you make your one time friend or lover or spouse your arch rival?

Hindu and Muslim communities are considered very sensitive and emotional. If they are friend they will not hesitate to sacrifice own life for other. But when they become enemy, they want to kill each other. Yesterday there was news that muslims of Kashmir helped Kashmiri pandits to perform puja. It means that these muslims are different from those muslims who don’t want pundits to stay in Kashmir.

There is one legend about Kashmir. There was a handsome Brahmin guy. Princess saw him and attracted towards him and decided firmly to marry him. Badshah agreed with princess but put one condition that guy had to convert and adopt Islam. Guy asked Brahmins and suggested that if they will accept him once he became ruler. Brahmins refused. Guy had to marry princess and converted to Islam. After he became ruler, he went to pundits and asked him to accept him in Hindu religion. But pundits refused proposal. It is said that after this that young man became arch enemy of hindu religion.

I want to say that don’t make your friend your arch enemy. Third party is always ready to make you and your friend enemy. If you want to break relation, break in a way that you both can become friends again. We have fine examples of Aamir Khan and Reena. They divorced, but they have cordial relations. Either Aamir or Reena hasn’t spoken against each other. Ditto Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh.

There are so called lovers who become crazy and perverted after rejection of their one sided love. They either make fake facebook profile of their lover or throw acid on lover’s face. They even go to extent to kill their lover. How one can think to throw acid or kill or defame that person who he/she claim to love? Is this love?

If your love is true, real then think wellness of your lover. It is not necessary that person whom you love will also love you. There is also advice for young girl or young man. Please be careful that your gesture or your friendship should be limited and one should not take it as your love, especially when you have friendship with opposite sex person. But anyway, it doesn’t mean that one sided love can go to extent of perverseness.

When relationship breaks, lyrics of old ‘Gumrah’ film song comes in mind:

Chalo ek baar phir se ajnabi ban jaaye hum dono

Na main tumse koi ummeed rakhoon dilnavaazi ki (Don’t expect anything from your lover/friend/business partner/spouse with whom your relation is broken)

Na tum meri taraf dekho galat andaaz nazaron se

Na mere dil ki dhadkan ladkhadaaye meri baaton mein

Na zaahir ho tumhaari kashm-kash ka raaz nazaron se

Taarruf rog ho jaaye to usko bhoolnaa behtar

Taalluk bojh ban jaaye to usko todnaa achchha

Voh afsaana jise anjaam tak laana na ho mumkin

Use ek khoobsoorat mod dekar chhodna achchha

Chalo ek baar phir se...

When you feel that relationship can’t be continued more, end on a good point.

Coming back to political point, BJP and JD(U) should have broken relationship with good sense. But they didn’t and yesterday (18^th June, 2013) we saw them fighting each other on day of Bihar Bandh.

BJP must learn from Congress. There are so many parties formed from congress. NCP, Janta Dal, Janta Dal (U), Trinamool Congress…etc..Congress has good relation with NCP and they have been partners in power in center and Maharashtra.

But BJP has difference case. When someone revolts BJP workers cannot tolerate it. In Gujarat, they teared Atmaram Patel’s dhoti when Shankar Sinh revolted aginst BJP. Same case is with Keshubhai Patel, Suresh Mehta and Kashiram Rana. At national level there are examples of Balraj Madhok, Govindacharya.

One may argue that Congress compromises with its rival for power, I will say that BJP also wants power and this is power play only.

I will again advice that be it politics, friendship, love, marriage or business, try to make adjustments (and that should be from both side) but if you feel after longtime that relationship can’t be maintained, break with but with a good end. Please remember these words:

Voh afsaana jise anjaam tak laana na ho mumkin

Use ek khoobsoorat mod dekar chhodna achchha

Modi Vs. Advani : When creator has to fight against his creation

(Courtesy : India Today)

Here and there, everywhere hot discussion is going on Narendra Modi vs. L.K. Advani fight. It is also called fight between chela (student) and guru (teacher). This is not first instance.

We have heard Arjun fought with guru Drona. In broad sense you can call it fight or conflict between creator and his or her own creation. I had read about fight between Hanumanjee and Shiv. Now it is known fact that Hanumanjee is considered as ansh awatar of Shivajee.

It was Shivajee who gave boon to Ravan but Ravan became so big and nuisance that Shivajee had to born as Hanumanjee to kill his own shishya or devotee Ravan. Althoough he didn't kill directly Rawan but played greater role in killing Ravan.

One more example is of Bhasmasur. Lord Shiva gave boon of almost immorality and then when he became destroyer god had to come to kill Bhasmasura. In 'Robot' film (Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Bachchan), creator of robot had to fight against his own creation.

Here there is no meaning or indication to say that Modi has become nuisance so Advani had to come in field to fight again his own shishya or creation. But when guru(creator) and shishya (creation) have same interests then chances of conflict between them are brighter.

In bollywood there are also such cases. Prakash Mehra created Amitabh Bachchan but later on they had not good relation. Subhash Ghai gave a rare chance to Mahima Chaudhary through his film Pardes, but later on they fought each other in court.

If you take parents as creator and children as creation then you will find there is increase in fight between parents and their children. Be it actress Nutan vs her mother Shobhna Samarth or actress Ameesha Patel vs her parent fight.

In many cases, fight is due to generation gap. Parents/guru/crator want to do things in his or her way while children/shishya/cration have different thinking. So fight happens. I call time after 90s as indiscipline time. Before that in most cases, children/shishya used to follow parents/guru whether they were right or wrong. After 90s, there is indiscipline in each and every field. Be it politics, sports or cinema.

It should also be noted that not in every case parents/elders are right. Prahlad or Vibhishan or Pandavs were right against their parent/elders. In cases like these, either due to ego or lust for power, parents/elders try to keep power in their hands eventhough they take wrong decisions.

In case of Advani vs Modi, it is evident that Advanijee wants to keep power in his hands although he failed to lead successfully in two general elections. While Modi has proven himself by successive victories and increasing popularity. Lets see who is proven right in history?

Advanijee : Bhism had not made right decisions when he should have

I know it is very risky to praise the person who is defeated. People always worship rising sun. But I would take risk it and write about Advanijee.

L.K. Advani may perhaps find himself in situation like Bhisma was in Mahabharat as he has written on his blog. But there is no ‘Cheer Haran’ of Draupadi in case of BJP the party which strengthened by Advanijee.

I like this stalwart leader very much not only for his contribution in making BJP no. 2 party, but his statements and issues raised by him also. My father Shree Gajendrabhai used to say that Advani is the person who always speak after giving very much consideration. Some blame Advani for defeat in Karanatak, 2013 ( I know in English it is wronly spelled as Karnataka) as he forced Yediyurappa from CM post. But Advanijee is not the person who just preaches. He had sat example by himself when his name was involved in Hawala case and he resigned as MP. He or his family members remained clean from corruption.

And I think if BJP had forced CM Yediyurappa to resign very early then may be fate of BJP in Karnatak would be different. Issues such as black money and compulsory voting and regarding E.V.M.s are raised by Advani. Truely speaking, Advanijee is very academic person. In most cases he is right in raising issue, but he is weak in oratorial skills – the field in which Modijee is far more superior.

Advanijee may be thinking that he has not given his life to party for the day when Modi supporters demonstrated against him before his house but he should think about past also.

When Advanijee and Ataljee made compromises like dropping BJP’s ideological issues like Ram Janmabhoomi or Article 370 or Uniform Civil Code for getting power in 1998, many followers of Sangh and BJP felt same pain as Advanijee is feeling at this time. Nanajee Deshmukh was not happy with Advanijee. Balraj Madhok was also thrown out of BJP in Advanijee’s days.

When Advanijee was deputy prime minister and home minister in NDA government, if he and Ataljee had shown courage like they showed in 1996 (when Ataljee resigned and walked out of parliament) and could have declared Ram Mandir Temple construction or supported Mahant Ramchandra Paramhans and even then if government had fallen, Advanijee and Vajpayeejee could make BJP to get majority on its own. Kandahar episode and attack on parliament were also blot on Advanijee being number 2 in NDA government.

When Ataljee was leading BJP, he was considered secular face of BJP and Advanijee was considered hardcore Hindutva face, but after 2004, Ataljee fell ill. So Advanijee thought that he could take place of Ataljee and for that he tried to walk on secular path and praised Mohammad Ali Jina (I know spelling written popularly is Jinnah, but actual name is Jina.). This was very wrong. I was shocked when stalwart leader like Advanijee stated : now it is time for slogan- Roti, Kapda, Makaan aur Mobile. He could not understand common people’s troubles. He gave approval for ‘India Shining’ campaign run by late Pramod Mahajan. (BTW, Narendra Modi is also follwoing path of Pramod Mahajan and giving full rosy picture.) In 2004, election was fought in Advanijee’s leadership, but he failed to get victory.

In 2009, it was perfect time that Advanijee should have given leadership to Modijee, but he choose not to give away. Although corporate sector was largely with Modijee. Again, election was fought under leadership of Advanijee and Advani again lost.

Now if in 2013, after so many victories in Gujarat, and after Modi won hearts by way of addressing Sri Ram College or addressing business fraternity in Kolkata, if Modi had not given leadership of BJP at national level, it could be biggest blunder. Blunder is avoided, but Advani is not ready to bow down.

As I was writing this blog post, news came that Advanijee has resigned from all posts of BJP. I think Advani will again make BJP defeat in next election.

One proverb is coming in my mind for this situation : Ghar foote ghar jay!
