"Krishna was a historical figure who lived towards the end of the Vedic Age. Traditional Indian accounts are closer to truth than those of Western Indology, which are colored by colonial and missionary biases and plagued by weak scholarship."
Prof. N.S. Rajaram
www.swordoftruth.com September 4th, 1999
www.swordoftruth.com September 4th, 1999
Since the life and career of Krishna lie within the century or so described in the great historical epic Mahabharata, if we can demonstrate the historicity of the characters and the principal episodes of the epic, we will essentially have established Krishna's historicity also.
Mention of Characters of Maha Bharata in Various Texts
Among Buddhist works Kunala Jataka mentions Krishnaa (i.e., Draupadi) in addition to Bhimasena, Arjuna, Nakula, Sahadeva and Yudhittila (Pali for Yudhisthira). Dhananjaya of the Kuru race (Arjuna) and Draupadi Svayamvara are referred to in Dhumakari Jataka. The same work refers also to Yudhisthira as an ancestor of the Kurus of Indapattana (i.e., Indraprastha) and also to Vidurapandita. In addition to these Mahabharata characters, Krishna himself is mentioned in Buddhist works such as Sutrapitaka and Lalitavistara [1].
Greek travelers who came to India following Alexander's invasion have left us some tantalizing references to Krishna and also to Indian historical records as they existed in their time. Authors like Pliny referred to Krishna as Heracles, derived from Hari-Krishna. They record that the Indian Heracles - our Krishna - was held in special honor by the Sourseni tribe one of whose major cities was Methora. We can recognize them as Shuraseni and Mathura. (Shura was the father of Vasudeva and the grandfather of Krishna.)
Indian Heracles (Krishna) is recorded by the Greeks as having lived 138 generations before the time of Alexander and Sandracottos which we may take to be c. 330 BC. Taking 20 years per generation, which is known to be a good average when ancient Indian dynasties are involved, we are led to the computation 2760 + 330 = 3090 BC which is remarkably close to the Kali date of 3102 BC. So a reckoning based on ancient Greek records takes us again to the traditional date of c. 3100 BC [1].

Nirjala Ekadashi - A Full Day Without Even Water - Hindu Sacred Day
This fast is observed on Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi.
One has to abstain even from water from sunrise of Ekadashi to sunrise of Dwadashi and this fast is known as Nirjali Ekadashi. During the month of Jyestha the day is longer and one feels thirsty. As a result it is difficult to observe this vow.
Vyas Muni told Bhimsen to observe this fast on Jyestha Shukla Ekadashi. By observing this fast on Jyestha Shukla Ekadashi sins of eating on all prior ekadashis in the year will be destroyed and absolved, and you will get all the benefits normal fasting on all the Ekadashis , which have passed in the year. Bhim was told so by Vyasa. Bhimsen very sincerely observed this fast, that is the reason why this Ekadashi is also named as Bhimsen Ekadashi.
Vayu Puranam
Creation According to Vayu Puranam
Creation
In the beginning, there was nothing in the universe. The brahman (the divine essence) alone was everywhere. The brahman had neither colour nor scent, it could not be felt or touched. It had no origin, no beginning or no end. The brahman was constant and it was the origin of everything that was destined to be in the universe and the universe was shrouded in darkness.
When it was time for creation to begin, the brahman divided itself into three. The first part became Brahma, the creator of the universe. The second part was Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. And the third part was Shiva, the destroyer.
At the time of creation, water appeared in the universe and the water was everywhere. In the water was created a golden (hiranya) egg (anda) that floated like a gigantic bubble. Brahma was born inside the egg. Since garbha means womb, Brahma came to be known as Hiranyagarbha. Since he effectively created (bhu) himself (svayam), he is also referred to as Svayambhu.
Brahma had four faces.
Also inside the egg were all the worlds (lokas) that would be created, in embryonic form. The earth was there, with its land, mountains, oceans and rivers. The moon, the sun, the stars and the planets were there. Also present were gods, demons, humans and other living beings who would be created.
This was the original creation of the universe (sarga).
But at the end of one of Brahma’s days, a minor destruction takes place. The universe is once again flooded with water during Brahma’s night. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are not however destroyed. Each of Brahma’s days is known as a kalpa (cycle). Thus, a minor destruction takes place at the end of every kalpa. When a new day dawns for Brahma, creation begins afresh. This periodical process of destruction (pralaya) and re-creation is known as pratisarga.
The present kalpa is known as varaha kalpa.

Ahobila Mutt
Origin
Srinivasacharya, son of Kidambi Kesavacharya was born on 18th August 1379 AD at Thirunarayanapuram (Melkote), Karnataka. His father Kesavacharya, himself a learned man, sent him to Kancheepuram to study at the feet of Ghatikasatham Ammal, a very great scholar of those days.
Young Srinivasacharya, hardly twenty years of age(1398), one day woke up in an exciting mood.
In the dream, he saw Lord Lakshmeenarasimha of Ahobilam and he heard his command to appear before him at Ahobilam and don the robe of a sanyasi and be instructed in his future mission of life there. He informed his Guru, Gatikasatham Ammal his dream. The guru told his disciple Srinivasacharya to obey the mandate.

So he wended his way to
Ahobilam. Having arrived there, he climbed the hill amidst dense forest (which
Thirumangai Azhvar describes as one which none can reach except God), had a dip
in the river Bhavanasini and took up abode in that wilderness. Meanwhile
Mukundaraya, the local chieftain also reached the, place to receive him on
divine command. Lord Narasimha appeared before Srinivasacharya in the form of a
sanyasi and initiated him with the "Preshmantra", gave him 'Sanyasa asrama'''
and named him 'Satakopa Jeeyar'. Thus was born Sri Ahobila Mutt and its First
Jeeyar.

Tapas - Consistent Creative Thinking
Chinmayananda said consistent creative thinking is called tapas.
In Indian scriptures, various rishis (saints) and rajas (kings) were said to have done tapas and acquired great intellectual powers and military powers.
What is tapas? Explaining tapas as consistent creative thinking that is focused on discovery and invention makes sense. That is what now scientists are doing.
Creative thinking requires mental concentration. In the philosophical tradition, the mind is to be withdrawn from the sense-organs and focused on intellectual ideal.
This knol will be used to identify other references to tapas in Hindu scriptures.

Alignment versus Appeasement of Minorities in India
Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr. Narendra Modi went on a Sadhbhavana Fast in Godhra. The Times of India in its paper dated 21 January 2012, in page 15 of Mumbai edition published the comment by VHP Leader Pravin Togadia with the caption "All netas in race to appease minorities" within the news item on Modi's fast. It is reported that Pravin Togadia took on CM Narendra Modi and asked whether there was any sadbhavana for those killed in the Godhra train carnage. While what Pravin Togadia said in this connection is difficult to know, we know only the reporting of the Times of India reporter Sachin Sharma.
In India, there are people of more religions apart from the main stream Hindu religion and many variants of Hindu religion. There are organizations which are working for the cause of sustaining and promoting Hindu religion. What is their outlook regarding other religions in the country? Advani, a senior leader of BJP, a party considered to argue that Hinduism is not getting its due in the country and minority appeasement is being practised by the ruling governments, advocates cultural unity. He does not advocate one religion for the country. Hinduism itself does not advocate one religion or prayer of only God. It has the concept of crores of deities or divine beings and even the supreme God is different in different occasions or scriptures. Even though in principle one God is stated, who is this one God in form is subject to belief of each person or family or group of people. Hinduism accepts that salutation to any God ultimately reaches that single person who is the world when there is pralaya and every other form is destroyed.
So there is an attempt by certain people to create alignment within all the people in India towards protecting and growing India. Even Viswa Hindu Parishad needs to have a plan for creating this alignment and in this regard they are participating in multi-religious functions and discourses. So VHP leaders in principle will not criticize every relation that Hindus have with other religion people as appeasement.
The news paper reporters also have to be careful to understand the context and report the statements and replies of various persons appropriately. There is a need for more discussion on this topic of alignment versus appeasement issue.

President of India Can Provide Intellectual Leadership for Development of Various Fields
"I have encouraged the department of public enterprises to engage
the central public sector undertakings into an Industry-Agriculture
Partnership Mission. I am, indeed, happy that the corporate affairs
ministry, the public sector companies, business chambers and Indian
Institute of Corporate Affairs in collaboration with National Rain fed
Area Authority are joining hands to evolve 'Innovative Business Models
for Rain fed Area Development'.
President of
India, Hon'ble Pratibha Devisingh Patil stated in an article published
in The Economic Times of India on 17th November 2011, Page 16.
Online available at:
This
is indeed intellectual leadership by the President of India for
highlighting an area of priority in economic development of the country.
President of India is well poised to take this initiative forward by
organizing national seminars on various sectors and issues of economic
and social development and by faciliatating development of president's
national develop observations, which are summaries of the proceedings of
the seminars. President can organize some of these seminars
independently and some of these seminars can be organized by various
central universities for which President of India is the chancellor.
Organizing such a series would really do justice to the role of
President as chancellor. These seminars are totally independent
seminarls free from the influence of the cabinet and planning commission
and would present the opinions of intellectuals under a more open
atmosphere and provide diversity of opinion that Government can take
into to account its policy deliberations.

Women on Shopfloor in India- 2012
In the factories, in the machine shops and fabrication shops the presence of women was almost negligible. But the trend is chaning now in India. Last week, I visited the TVS Motors plant at Hosur and there were women working in the machine shop. Of course the job involved was only loading and unloading light weight work pieces. But they are working on costly CNC machines and handing motor cycle parts.
Today on 3.1.2012, Economic Times carried an article with the title "Women now break into the shopfloor."
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/jobs/engineering-companies-like-kirloskar-brothers-changing-gender-dynamics/articleshow/11346395.cms
Anant Talaulicar, CMD Cummins talks of 25% target for women by 2011 and 50% target in the next five years.
Kirloskar Brothers is also increasing women on shopfloor.
