[A dm evaa:]
A giver of what is a giver of strength? A giver of what, a giver of beauty? A giver of what, a giver of ease? A giver of what, a giver of vision? And who is a giver of everything? Being asked, please explain this to me. Deva
The real and original loyal users of the Internet are its owners. No body can succeed in controlling it like the four elements. Certainly the Murderers of democratic institutions (Modi) and all the chamchas, stooges, chelas, slaves, bootlicker and own mother’s flesh eaters can never even dream of control the natural elements.
A giver of food is a giver of strength.
A giver of clothes, a giver of beauty.
A giver of a vehicle, a giver of ease.
A giver of a lamp, a giver of vision.
And the one who gives a residence,
is the one who is a giver of everything.
But the one who teaches the Dhamma
is a giver of
the Deathless.

अब ऒबामा व ट्रंप को देशद्रोही घोषित करेंगे व उनके भारत आने पर पाबंदी लगा देंगे क्या ?
**अमेरिकन सरकार ने ब्राम्हण समाज कों अधिवेशन के लिए नकारा हैं।
American Govt. denied permission for
“Brahmin Conference in America.”
America given reason for denial to Brahmin Conference officially.
इस साल आमेरिका मे होनेवाले
”अखिल ब्राम्हण महासभा” के साहित्य सम्मेलन को अमेरिकन सरकार ने ब्राम्हण समाज कों अधिवेशन के लिए नकारा हैं।
अमेरिकन सरकार ने उसके लिए 5 प्रमुख कारण दिये हैं -
1) ब्राम्हण साहित्य ने भारतीय इतिहास एवं साहित्य का विकृतिकरण किया हैं । Indian History & Literature has been projected in ” PERVERTED ” manner by Brahmins.
2) ब्राह्मणी साहित्य एक दूसरे में झगड़ा पैदा करता हैं। Main aim of Brahmanical Literature is to create & promote fights & ill will among different sections of Indian Society.
3) ब्राम्हण, भारतीय प्रेरक महापुरुषो की बदनामी करते हैं। Brahmins deliberately spread canards about inspirational Indian Social Reformers & great leaders who are not Brahmins.
4) वे जातपात का पालन करते हैं।Brahmins practice, promote & justify Caste System in India for their selfish ends.
5) भेदभाव कर के अपना वर्चस्व निरंतर बनाए रखते हैं । They create, propagate & promote social divisions & discrimination based on such divisions in order to safeguard their social hagemony.
अमेरिकन सरकार ने कहा कि ये सभी बाते हमारे देश में बिलकुल नहीं होनी चाहिए। American Administration has clearly spelt out that they will not allow such activities & those indulging in such activities in their country.
उसके लिए उन्होने ब्राम्हण महासभा के पूना (Pune) सचिव को नोटिस भेजा हैं।
इस खबर को मीडिया ने फ्लैश नहीं किया क्योंकि मीडिया ब्राह्मणवाद का पर्दाफ़ाश करना नहीं चाहती।
इस खबर को ज्यादा से ज्यादा Share करे।
लोगों को सच्चाई से उजागर करना चाहिए। संविधान की जय हो
Happy Birthday to Shashi Kanth.

In Karnataka, a church that is also a temple
No differences: The Jesuit priest who runs the church wears saffron robes and a rudraksha mala with a cross
Hindus attend mass at the Snanika Arulappanavara Virakta Mutt in Belagavi that has a Siva lingam, Jesus and Mary idols
About 28 km from Belagavi in north Karnataka, in a picturesque village called Deshanur, stands the impressive stone building of Snanika Arulappanavara Virakta Mutt, or the Church of Saint John the Baptist.
The structure, built in the Banarasi Nagara style, is seen as an example of syncretism: it has a Siva lingam, flanked by the idols of Jesus and Mary. Its walls are adorned with the sayings of the saint-poet-reformer Basaveshwara, the icon of the Lingayat movement, poet-musician Purandara Dasa, and also the Bible.
The Jesuit priest who runs the Church, Menino Gonsalves alias Sri Menino Swamy, wears saffron robes and a rudraksha mala with a cross. He performs pooja with aarathi during mass, and claims to be an Ayurvedic healer. He has visited Rishikesh and Haridwar and also the Vatican. He speaks eight languages and conducts mass in Kannada. In a village that has no Christians, the church has full attendance during Sunday mass.
“Nothing I do makes me uncomfortable or is alien to my faith,” says Sri Menino. “I call this assimilation of cultures. I don’t force my beliefs on anyone. In fact, preaching is only a small part of my routine. Most of my time is spent teaching, healing and in social work.”
The assimilation began with the founding father of the Mutt, Armado Alvares, who called himself Sri Animananda Swamy. His ancestors hailed from Goa, but he was born in Africa — where his father was a government officer — in 1903. He moved to Goa for his studies and worked as a teacher in Belagavi for some years before settling in Deshanur, arriving a few months after independence in 1947. He started a home for destitute boys in 1950 and a Kannada-medium school for girls in 1953. Now, the destitute home has 50 boys; while the school has become a co-educational one, with 350 boys and girls.
Faith in magnanimity
Giving full credit to the villagers for the survival of this decades-old church-temple, Sri Menino says, “If the villagers have allowed us to serve them despite the difference in faith, it is because they are large-hearted.”
The villagers use hybrid terminology to describe the institution and its branches. The convent is called Padri Mutt and the temple, Church Gudi. The entire village comes together to celebrate Makara Sankranti and Christmas, on the model of village fairs.
Sri Menino says, “Jesus Christ wants us all to be better human beings. We want Hindus to be better Hindus, Muslims to be better Muslims and Christians to be better Christians. I have never advocated conversion. I have advised a Hindu girl who wanted to marry a Christian boy to stay a Hindu and marry under the Special Marriages Act. It is not religion that ensures a lasting marriage — it is love.”

‘Marx and Ambedkar: Continuing the Dialogue’ review: Common ground
Exploring how the Left and Dalits can work together
B.R. Ambedkar was born eight years after Karl Marx died. And it was 88 years after Marx’s seminal work, The Communist Manifesto, that Ambedkar wrote Annihilation of Caste. Now if Marx could have time travelled to the 20th century and had a one-on-one dialogue with Ambedkar, it would make for a stirring debate.
To create this very debate is the object of D. Raja and Muthumohan’s book Marx and Ambedkar: Continuing the Dialogue. At a time when slogans of Lal Salaam and Jai Bheem are resonating together, the book is looking for a common ground between Marxism and Dalit politics espoused by Ambedkar both of which aim to strike at the roots of exploitation of the oppressed.
There are two important strains running through the book — one is to trace Ambedkar’s own views on Marxism and the second is to study interplay of concepts of caste and class. Marxism is essentially a European theory written in an atmosphere shorn off the complexities of the caste system and community ownership. “The historical context of Ambedkar in the 20th century is fundamentally different from that of Marx in the 19th century,” the authors write.
The book seeks to compare and contrast Marx’s political economy and Ambedkar’s social economy.
The caste system is a communal exploitative system and importantly it is not a purely economic category. The other distinction is that the class system does not make isolation a virtue and nor does it prohibit social intercourse.
The book explores through Ambedkar’s writings his views on Marxism. Ambedkar denounced violence in the Marxist concept. He also criticised the Marxists for ignoring the caste reality. Unlike the Marxists, Ambedkar pays special attention to religion. “To ignore religion is to ignore a live wire,” he has said.
“As for Marxism itself, Ambedkar was both attracted and alienated by it,” scholar Gail Omvedt says summing up the contentious relation Ambedkar had with Marxism.
The book digresses from its theme when it delves into depths of Hindu philosophy and Dalit consciousness in South India. One must credit the book, however, for initiating a dialogue between two giants though it leaves one thirsting for a more in-depth study of the two.

Communists in the country must whole hearted ly support SC/ST reservation as per the Constitution. The must support equal work equal pay instead of encouraging daily wagers association. Instead their jo B.S. must be regularised.
SC/ST Workers must have mobility to become Officers without any restrictions.
SC/STs including Arogya Rakshakas (safari karmacharis) must be encouraged to start multipurpose Co-operative societies to tender for work in and around industries.
They must be encouraged to build Buddha Viharas.
They must see the the SC/ST prevention of atrocities act is not diluted.
Thus it will be a common ground.
