Bhagwan Vishnu is known as preserver of humanity and the universe.The journey of Lord Vishnu’s 10 great incarnations (Dashavatar) was started when Lord Brahma was in a meditation and was chanting the Vedas so loudly and the demon Hygreev was copying and memorizing all the Vedas from Brahma for being an Immortal and attack Devas.When the destruction of earth was about to happen, Lord Vishnu decides to take form of a small fish, King Satyavrat was biggest devotee of Vishnu hence Vishnu choses Satyavrat as a Manu. (Except Manu all were destined to die in flood on the Earth). When King Satyavrat was worshiping to Sun god in a river he took some water from the river in his cupped palms, he found a tiny fish in it. When he wanted to drop the fish in the waters, it requested him to give shelter for fear of being eaten away by bigger fishes in the river. The King obliged and carried the fish to his palace and dropped it in a vessel. With the fish growing in size rapidly, Manu had to change the container to bigger ones, finally when none of the containers was enough to contain the fish, it was eventually transferred to a pond, then to a lake , then to river Ganges and then finally to the ocean. The fish was growing even bigger in the ocean and once it thanked Manu for giving shelter till then and assured the King that it would appear back after a while to rescue the king from the great floods.Lord Vishnu appears in front of Manu and tells him that “On the seventh day from today there will be a huge flood on Earth, But you will be safe, Gather all the seven sages (Sapt Rishi), birds, animals, herbs, trees, plants and other seeds on a hill and wait for me, A ship will come and take you to a safe place.” Meanwhile Lord Vishnu kills Hygreev who had stolen the Vedas from Lord Brahma and saves Vedas scripts from going in the hands of Demons.As destined, the huge flood appears and Manu takes all the sages, plants, animals and important herbs with him to wait for a Ship. A Ship arrives and a huge fish drives it to the safe place and saves the Mankind and other living beings. Lord Vishnu saved the mankind by MATSYA AVTAR.One day the egoistic Indra rejected Sage Durvasa’s gift and humiliated him. The angry Durvasa cursed Indra and other gods that your prosperity will be destroyed!Worried gods went to Lord Vishnu to seek his help. Lord Vishnu advises them to churn the sea (Samudra Manthan). The result will re-establish the lost prosperity of heaven. If you obtain the nectar (Amrit) from sea churning will make you Immortal, stronger and prosperous. Vishnu advises gods to take help from the demons by giving them bribe that they too will share the nectar with you. They went to churn mount Mandra in the sea. By using serpent king Vasuki as rope they started to churn the sea.Lord Vishnu took the form of giant Kurma (Tortoise) so that mount Mandra would get a strong support on the hard back of the giant tortoise. While churning was going on the huge amount of poison was emitted from it. The Devas ran to the Creator and he requested Lord Shiva to come to the rescue of Devas. Maheshwara collected the flaming poison and gulped down his throat! Thus Lord Shiva came to be called “ Nilakantha”.Then, finally, to the delight and excitement of all, emerged from the ocean a beautiful form of Deva by name “ Dhanvantari” carrying a white vessel-- kamandalu full of Amrita- Divine nectar that gifted immortality to those who drank it! It was an amazing and incredible sight! Having seen this unbelievable sight, the Asuras were overwhelmed with joy and yelled loudly claiming that Amrita was for them! It was here that the story took a sudden turn favoring the Devas!It was all the Maya of Lord Narayana! He took the form of a beautiful damsel and stood before the Asuras to ensnare them! Both the Devas and the Asuras were astonished at the Divine beauty of the woman who stood before them! Instantly they were drawn to her ethereal beauty! In their love and passion for her hand, they lost their head and handed over the kamandalu with Amrit to her! It was a well laid out plan by the Lord! He made the Devas and the Asuras sit in opposite rows and served the Divine nectar to Devas alone denying it to the Asuras! Unknowingly the Asuras thought they were served Amrita but agitated when they knew about the treachery of the Lord! Rahu and Ketu of the Asuras, somehow, gained entry into the row of Devas and had a sip of the Divine juice! Lord Shiva saved the universe by drinking Halahal and Lord Vishnu saved helped devas to obtain Amrit by KURMA AVTAR.In the war with Devas and Asuras, Asuras were defeated and killed. The mother of Demons the wife of Sage Kashyap Aditi blames Indra and gods for killing her sons. Aditi gets a boon from her husband Sage Kashyap. She gives birth to twin sons. They were Hiranyaksh and Hiranyakashyapu.Hiranyaksh gets a boon from lord Brahma after a hard penance to be always victorious and immortal, those gods and animals that he named should not be able to kill him. After troubling mankind he hides the goddess earth in an ocean. Gods went to seek help from Lord Vishnu.Lord Vishnu takes form of Varah (Boar). Varah finds goddess earth in an ocean and saves her. Lord Vishnu took the form of a Boar because while asking for the boon Hiranyaksha had forgotten to take the name of one animal which was the wild Boar. so Lord Vishnu had to take that form to kill Hiranyaksha. Hiranyaksh was killed by VARAH AVTAR of Lord Vishnu.After death of the Hiranyaksha, his brother Hiranyakashyapu becomes furious on Lord Vishnu and decides to take revenge of his brother’s death. He decides for hard penance to please Lord Brahma. when Brahma gets pleased by his penance, Hiranyakashyapu asks a boon from Brahma to become a powerful person in whole universe that no one could defeat him neither gods, humans and animals, neither in a day and night, in and out, in sky and earth and neither with any weapon. Brahma grants him this boon.He destroys all of Vishnu temples and warns everyone to not to chant the Vishnu’s name. In the terror of King Hiranyakashyapu there was still an one person who was still chanting Vishnu’s name. He was Vishnu Bhakt Prahlad, the son of Hiranyakashyapu. Hiranyakashyapu tries every possible way to stop Prahlad from chanting Vishnu’s name, be it throwing him from mountains or to get crushed under elephant’s feet, Prahlad was saved by Lord Vishnu every time whenever Hiranyakashyapu tried to kill Prahlad.King Hiranyakshyapu asks his son Prahlad to stop chanting Vishnu’s name, when Prahlad refuses his words, he becomes furious and decides to attack Prahlad with his mace and suddenly the Narsimha appears from a pillar.Narsimha takes Hiranyakshyapu on his thighs and tears his whole stomach while making realize Hiranyakashyapu about his boon.Narsimha was half lion and half man (Neither human, god nor animal).The time was transition period (neither day nor night).Narsimha killed Hiranyakashyapu on a threshold (Neither in nor out).Hiranyakshyapu was on Narsimha’s thighs (neither in sky nor on the ground).Narsimha killed Hiranyakshyapu with his own nails. (not using any weapon).To save his devotee Prahlad, Lord Vishnu took the NARSIMHA AVTAR.later Prahlad becomes a King and spreads Lord Vishnu’s positivity everywhere. Everyone was happy under King Pralhad’s rule. After Prahlad his son Virochan and his son Bali’s devotion towards Vishnu spread far and wide on the earth. Indra killed Prahlad’s son Virochan in a Tarakamaya battle.On Demon’s sage Shukracharya’s advise Virochan’s son Bali performed Vishwajeet Yajna (Holy fire of veneration). and decided to attack heaven , the abode of lord Indra. King Bali decides to wage war against Indra and his heaven to avenge his father Virochan’s death.Being a demon King, Bali was devotee of Lord Vishnu and was kind hearted, hence lord Vishnu decided to take form of a dwarf Brahmin.During Vishwajeet Yajna, the dwarf brahmin named Vaman attends that yajna. King Bali asks Vaman about his wishes and Vaman said 'I want three steps of land, measured by my feet!'Looking at the dwarf boy, the king felt the same magnetic effect. He nodded his head, 'Anything you wish sir!'As soon Bali uttered these words, Vamana grew. Vamana grew...and grew and grew. He grew so huge, that from where Bali stood, he could see only the boy's feet, nothing else. The boy had grown so huge that the earth itself seemed to measure up in his one step!Next the boy lifted his other leg and measured up the entire skies with his other step!Bali stood there astounded watching the Dark Lord's brilliance! The boy called Bali. 'Oh Great King! You promised me three steps... I have measured the earth and the skies in two steps. I have nowhere to keep my third step. Where shall I keep my third step?'Bali heard the Dwarf and smiled, 'My Lord! I am not someone who breaks his promises. I offer my head as your third step my Lord!'Lord Vishnu gave a beautiful smile, a melancholy smile and says to Bali that I have established my authority on heaven and earth, you rule the Patal lok (Nether world) like a good and merciful king. Bali becomes a good king of Nether world. To re-establish the Human and God’s rights lord Vishnu took the VAMANA AVTAR.With time King Bali started ruling in the nether world. And the Kshatriya (warrior clan) kings looked after the rule on the earth. They became egoistic after they acquired power! And they started doing atrocities on the weak and helpless people. After hearing the pitiful cry of the people, Lord Vishnu incarnated as the son of sage Jamdagni and his wife Renuka.After mastered in his warrior skills Lord Parshuram receives a Parshu (Axe) from Lord Shiva as a gift.After completing his education he returns to his parent’s hermitage (Ashram). and one day Kshatriya kings were having Prasad on sage Jamdagni’s hermitage, They were pleased by his cow Kamdhenu’s Milk. And they demands that cow from Sage Jamdagni. On which sage Jamdagni replied “O King, what has a Brahmin got to do with gold coins? and Kamdhenu is like my mother. you never sell your mother”.Being furious to this, Kshatriya king decided to take cow forcefully with him.When Lord Parshuram learns about this, he takes an oath to destroy growing atrocities of the Kshatriyas. In a fight with Kshatriyas, Parshuram defeats them and gets back his cow back. To avenge their insult, Kshatriyas kills Parshuram’s father sage Jamdagni.Lord Parshuram destroys all atrocious Kshatriya clan, he destroys their whole atrocities. In the result the merciful and good Kshatriyas feard to do their duty and left their Kshatriya dharma.To sustain this universe both Brahmins and Kshatriyas are essential. after learning this Parshuram decides to spend the rest of his life in sacrifice and meditation. To destroy the atrocity of Kshatriyas lord Vishnu incarnated as the PARASHURAM AVTAR.But Parshuram’s terror remained in Kshatriya’s hearts, and they were running from their responsibilities. Kshatriya’s protection was needed for mankind.By removing the fear from the hearts of the Kshatriyas, by giving back their lost status and respect. Lord Vishnu decided to incarnate as an ideal Kshatriya ruler whose love for justice, sacrifice and righteousness will make people address him as an ideal of conduct (Maryadapurushottam).And that incarnation was of Shri Ram, the son of Dasharath.Lord Shri Ram leaves his Ayodhya kingship and accepts 14 years of Vanvas on his father’s promise made by his step mother Kaikeyi. After defeating Raavan Shri Ram sets an ideal example of righteousness and morality.Being Loyal and by protecting innocents Lord Shri Ram had set an ideal example of Real Kshatriya Dharma.Lord Ram established his rule after returning to Ayodhya. That became an example of Ram Rajya (Ideal Rule). To save the humanity to set the civiliazation with morality and justice Lord Vishnu incarnated as the RAM AVTAR.And the Yuga was changed from Treta Yuga to Dwapar Yuga. and again mankind was getting troubles by atrocious King Kans.Lord Vishnu incarnated as Devaki’s eight son Krishna. Such an incarnation who freed earth from the sins. and showed human kind the right path of life.Krishna kills his uncle Kans when he was 13.The Kauravas not only usurperd the Kingdom of the Pandavas by deceit. But they also spread violence and terror in the whole kingdom. The result of which, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra the great battle of Mahabharat was fought. And Lord Krishna had to play the role of a deciding factor in this battle between the just and the unjust.There Krishna gave the greatest preachings of Righteousness, selfless deeds, Gyanyog, Karmyog and Bhakti and re-incarnations of soul from one body to another. Lord Krishna not only protected the Humanity but he also showed the right path of life in the form of the scripture Bhagwad Gita. Lord Vishnu incarnated as the KRISHNA AVTAR to save the humanity and lead people towards righteousness.When Krishna left the earth Kali Yuga was started and Dwapar yuga was ended. As mentioned in Bhavishya Puran that people in Kaliyuga will forgot the teachings of supreme lord.As destined people immersed themselves in jealousy, greed and violence in KaliYuga.To free the humans from their sorrow, Lord Vishnu incarnated as Buddha and descended on earth.Siddharth was kept in a luxurious life by his father when he heard from Brahmins that he will be a greatest saint on earth. Siddharth started feeling like a prisoner in the luxurious atmosphere of the palace. The curiosity to see the outside world made Siddharth restless.Prince Siddharth goes on walk in a city where he sees four type of people,Old Man- Siddharth learns that one day everyone’s body gets tired and weak due to aging.Ill Man - Siddharth learns about human body is materialistic and it can get diseased.Dead Man - Siddharth learns that everyone have to leave their materialistic body someday.An Ascetic Man - He learns that one should not be attached to this materialistic world as nothing is permanent in this world but soul.To do away with sorrow and pain Siddharth decides to leave his materialistic world and experiences an eternal truth. And in a penance under Bodhi tree he finds all his answers and obtains the complete wisdom. Thus he became the sage Gautam Buddha.To keep people away from Jealousy, Greed and Anger Lord Vishnu appeared as the BUDDHA AVTAR.But still some people are becoming greedy and violent day by day. The Vedas are being humiliated, people are forgetting the lord’s preachings of the greatest scriptures. The deceitful ones are using religion as a weapon. innocents are getting killed in the name of religions, false religious teachings brainwashing people’s mind thus terrorism is rising. Greed and lust have overpowered truth and righteousness.When the sins go beyond limit, when the filth will rise on earth. When people will completely forgot supreme’s teachings, Lord Vishnu will incarnate as KALKI AVTAR on earth, The destroyer of Filth. He will ride on horse with a sword of truth and justice in his hands and he will eradicate filths and untruth. The earth will once again be free from sins.The human race will proceed into such an era where there will be only truth, justice and virtuosity.In short Lord Vishnu's Dashavatar story is a journey of a human life fromEvolution (Matsya),Survival (Kurma),Learning the value of Nature (Varaha),Protection of Truthful (Narsimha),Protection of Resources (Vaman),Learning and getting skilled (Parshuram),Living in a civilized society with Morality, Truth and Justice (Ram),Re-establishing the Dharma and learning about the Karma(Krishna),Path of non-violence and Ascetic life (Buddha),to the Destruction of the Filth (Kalki).MORAL - यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवती भारतः (Whenever there is decay of righteousness, O Bharata!)अभ्युत्थानम अधर्मस्य तदात्मानम सृजाम्यहम (And a rise of unrighteousness then I manifest myself)परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशायच दुष्कृताम (For the protection of good, for the destruction of the wicked)धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे (And for the establishment of Righteousness, I am born in every age)Namo Narayana!Thanks for reading!

WONDERFUL STATEMENT INDEED …….PARABHRAMANHinduism seems to believe in me as a Human.Even though I am not a Hindu, it recognizes me as a living creature and my right to live with equal rights.It loves me as a human and does not authorize anyone to hurt me or others !Hinduism says there is a supreme God who is omnipresent on earth through every living entity—so including me.Thus it recognizes that I am worth being living.It believes that as a human I have the freedom to choose the way of my life.It believes in me and in my good heart that I can be one of those who contribute to the wellbeing of the Humanity and make this world a wonderful place that God wished it to be.With such a scope, acceptance and tolerance Hinduism certainly is a great and respectable faith which unconditionally serves Humanity without dividing it in the spirit of unconditional Love and respect for all !Hinduism one of the oldest religions in the world, it says Rig Veda was written more than 3800 years ago.Hinduism dated back when there was no other religion. But it spoke about faith.The Gita spoke… “ that what ever you have faith in even if another religion ! ,if you have the true faith in that religion - then you shall ultimately reach me (God) through that “Me” here refers to not a person. It refers to the ultimate power that exists in the universe and governs it's process The holy One!3. The number 108 is a sacred number in Hinduism.In China, it’s also a auspicious number. For example, in Ningxia Hui Autonomous region, there is “ 108 towers,” it says after counting all the towers, your worries will be all gone.4. There is only one God in Hinduism, but it has many forms,5. Hindus believe in continues circle of life, death and reincarnation, also believes karma.6.People’s action and thoughts play important role in current life and future.7. Swastika is a symbol of Hinduism, it represents good luck.8. The Cow is considered as sacred animal, most Hindus don’t eat beef nor pork, many are vegeterians.9.Hinduism is closely related to Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.10. Hinduism means “dwellers by the Indus river”11. Two famous festivals in Hinduism, Diwali and Holi, the festival of colours.12. Bad karma leads to negative result while good karma brings rewards.13. Many Hindus refuse to eat animals because animals also have souls. Just as Mahatma Gandhi said “ I’m a Hindu because it’s Hinduism which makes the world worth living. I’m a Hindu hence I love not only human beings, but all livng beings.”14. For many Hindus, other religions are also seen as other paths to Brahman, so Hindus are quite tolerant.Here are some guidelines on KARMA YOGA to help you fulfill the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita.............Whatever work you do consider it as a spiritual act.Do your duty to the best of your ability to the highest degree of attention to detail.Don’t be focused on your paycheck rather be focused on the quality of your work.Don’t limit yourself to your job description which you are fully entitled to do - do whatever else is needed to be done to enhance your working environment and your relationship with your colleagues. In other words - be prepared to help out.Arrive early to work - always be on time to appointments - it is always better to arrive early than late.Prepare yourself before hand and make sure you have everything you need to accomplish the task at hand.Treat your colleagues and your clients with kindness, dignity and respect.Never discriminate against anyone because of race, class, caste, gender or sexual orientation - treat all equally as representations of God.Ensure that your colleagues get breaks when busy, and ask after their welfare.Before leaving make sure that all the work is done and your workplace is left tidy.When dealing with clients think of them as representations of God - attend to their matters efficiently and with courtesy and politeness, even when they are cranky.Always be mindful of the needs of others around you and always try to help out when requested.Never speak disparagingly of others - and if you see any form of discrimination speak out and condemn it.Never join in gossip sessions - if your colleagues are saying negative things about someone - counter with raising positive attributes.Never complain about your colleagues or file reports unless you have discussed their errors with them first. If you have a problem resolve it yourself.Never take bribes or lie or give misleading information or practice any form of deception.Why pray in Hinduism?The following are all under the rubric of “prayer” and each has a different reason:–pūjā/arādhanastotrajapayajña/homaprārthanaupasana/dhyānaSandhya - nitya karmaPūja/ārādhana is the formal process of making offerings to the deity, guru or a parent – the only purpose is to show gratitude and as service (seva/kainkarya). If the deity is installed in then it is a nitya-karma- obligatory daily duty.Stotrais singing the praises and pastimes of the deity in order to please, thank or gratify the deity or simply to inform listeners.Japais the silent recitation of a mantra using a rosary (japa-māla) for the purpose of self-development (sādhana) or to attain siddhi of the mantra.Yajña/homais the making of oblations of ghee, milk or other substances into the sacred fire - the reasons are many - (1) as a daily duty, as (2) gratitude and service (kainkarya), to please the deities, (3) to obtain some benefit.Prarthana– is singing of songs making formal requests for benefits - both material and spiritual.Upāsana/dhyāna– is daily meditation upon your tutelary deity (iṣṭha-devata) the purpose is formal spiritual growth and development (sādhana).Sandhyais a nitya karma- a daily obligatory duty in which water libations are offered to the sun and the gāyatri mantra is recited - it is a duty and not for any purpose.HINDUISM IS BALI ?Hinduism in Bali adhere to the Śaiva Siddhāńta notion, which conceptually affirms Śiva as the Absolute Truth. Of course the term Siddhāńta here is different from the adherent and the concept of Śaiva Siddhāńta in India.(1). First, the highest structure of Hindu divinity in Bali is called Tri Puruṣa:• Paramaśiva = God who is unthinkable;• Sadāśiva = God who has got along with māyā;• Śivātma = God who is under māyā (we are all that)This Tri Puruṣa adheres to the concept of monism, as it is known as Advaita Vedāńta. Therefore we only have one God but with different names based on His function.WHAT IS LORD SHIVALord Krishna said to Sri Shiva ......O Śiva, the best of the intellectuals, you serve me regularly during day and night, for a hundred crores of kalpas. O lord of the gods, you are the best of the ascetics, siddhas, yogīs, intellects, Vaiṣṇavas and the gods.Therefore with my boonyou achive all the siddhis, knowledge of the fout Vedas and the knowledge of all the four worlds, with the boon granted by one you would be able to witness the fall of innumerable Brahmas.O Śiva, from today itself, you shall possess the intelect, glory, age, prowess, valour and strength like me, because you are dearer to me than my life even and there is no other person more devoted to me than you.You are greater than my soul even.No one else is dearer to me than you.The sinners, foolish and un-enlightened people who denounce you, they suffer in terrific hell till the sun and the moon last.O Śiva, you will achieve Prakṛti after the lapse of a hundred crores of yearsShiva means that which is beyond the physical existence. It is not ‘nothing’ as some claim —more specifically, it is NOT A THING. Being NOT A THING does not mean he is nothing (shunyatha).Shiva, is the supreme consciousness of the ENLIGHTENED! , manifested in the wider Omniverse as the Adi Yogi.Shiva means that which is beyond the physical existence. It is not ‘nothing’ as some claim —more specifically, it is NOT A THING. Being NOT A THING does not mean he is nothing (shunyatha).Shiva, is the supreme consciousness of the ENLIGHTENED! , manifested in the wider Omniverse as the Adi Yogi.He is the third in the trimurthy, and is the representative of the Guru tattva.www-youtube-com/watch?v=wwIpcZEFDHcShiva is both the unmanifest supreme reality; as well as adi-yogi in his manifest form.His unmanifest form as the supreme consciousness is represented by the Shiva Linga (his sign).Being manifest, he is often represented as a yogi, an ascetic, as a renunciate.His tattva (principle) is the renunciation of all things, so he is represented as being very simple and easy to please (Bhola Shankara).DO WE NEED DHARMA (righteousness) - What is it?Let me quote a verse from the Hitopadesha.āhāra nidrā bhaya maithunaṃ ca sāmānyam etat paśubhir narāṇām |dharmo hi teṣān adhiko viśeṣo dharmeṇa hīnāḥ paśubhiḥ samānāḥ||Eating, sleeping, fear/defence and sex are common to both animals and humans,Dharma alone is specific to humans, withoutDharma, they are equal to animals.So Dharma is what differentiates humans from animals.So if you feel a need to be a real human-being and not an animal masquerading as a human then Dharma has value in assisting you in the process of differentiation.But if your goal in life is to eat, sleep, bonk and defend your territory then disregard Dharma it is not beneficial to you, just be an animal !WHO CREATED SANATANA DHARMA?The founder of Adhi sanatan devi devta dharma is the one true God. God was called by different names such as Shiva/Allah/Jehovah.When sanatan dharma was followed , earth was heaven. Now earth became hell because of sin ( lust anger greed attachment ego hatred jealousy fear carelessness laziness) . Sin can be removed only by remembering god. Like human soul god is invisible point light.Isha Upanishad says,“Unillumined indeed are those worlds clouded by the blinding darkness of ignorance; unto death sink all those who destroy their Self-soul.”Human life on this earth is the only place where one can work out the cycle of our karma. One can either live in ignorance or gain the virtue of wisdom and knowledge. ——By living the ignorant life of lust, anger and greed, one is harming one’s own Self-soul, which bars the entry to the gates of heaven.God-incarnate Sri Krishna says to Arjuna in book’ Word of God Bhagavad Gita’…. Chapter 4 verse 42:“Therefore cut all doubts in your heart born out of ignorance with the sword of this Self-soul knowledge. Be firmly established in this ‘yoga path’.--- O Bharata Arjuna! Stand up and arise to perform your duty as a warrior in the battle field.”……………………………………………………..VEDA AND SCIENCE ......Scientific investigation of celestial events thousands of years before recognised science ................ALL Hindu sacred literature addresses four essential human goals:–DHARMA — living the good life, ethics, morals, codes and maps of best practice in human conduct.ARTHA — polity, how to make money and prosper in accordance with Dharma.KAMA — how to have a good time and indulge in pleasure/sex also according to Dharma.MOKSHA — how to achieve liberation from personal suffering (dukha) here and now and how to attain liberation from the cycles of rebirth.Any “science” you find in the Vedas and allied Scriptures is merely incidental and not their central purpose.....YET-Rig Veda 10.22.14“This earth is devoid of hands and legs, yet it moves ahead. All the objects over the earth also move with it. It moves around the sunRig Veda 10.149.1“The sun has tied Earth and other planets through attraction and moves them around itself as if a trainer moves newly trained horses around itself holding their reins.”Yajur Veda 33.43“The sun moves in its own orbit in space taking along with itself the mortal bodies like earth through force of attraction.”LIGHT OF MOONRig Veda 1.84.15“The moving moon always receives a ray of light from sun”Rig Veda 10.85.9“Moon decided to marry. Day and Night attended its wedding. And sun gifted his daughter “Sun ray” to Moon.”ECLIPSERig Veda 5.40.5“O Sun! When you are blocked by the one whom you gifted your own light (moon), then earth gets scared by sudden darknessSHAPE OF THE EARTHRig veda 1.33.8It says"people who reside on the surface of earth circumference" while most of the scriptures of abrahmic religions , and most of the Western co-called Civilised races considered the earth to be flat .THE LOTUS FLOWER IN HINDUISM -There are two lotuses. The pink and the blue.The pink lotus is a symbol of the enlightened mind which grows in mud (contamination of material nature) but rises above the water to open to the light of the Sun.The devas all stand or sit on lotuses because they appear in the enlightened minds and hold lotuses as signs of purity and the aspiration to become enlightened beings.Some goddesses hold the closed blue lotus (nilotpala) which symbolises the universal potential for spiritual unfoldment and enlightenment.REINCARNATION........If we are energy, and the law of energy states “energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.”; Then is it safe to say reincarnation is very possible and would make sense?Buddha, Christ, Krishna…those names are description of state those people attained.Ones your ego vanish, ones you become Krishna, Christ or Buddha you will not incarnate on this world again.The Seed of enlightenment is within all of us, it’s our real nature, it never chsnges while our identities changes every lifetime.When the right moment will come, you will realise that you are this witness , this spirit within, and your ego is just a dream, just a role you played in this life. Ones it comes, reincarnation ends, and you have escaped from Samsara forever ! Good luck!SIKHS? Temples ? Advaitha ?Sikhi has the same metaphysic principles of Advaita (path of the formless God). Some advaitists will not visit temples because their path focuses on the formless alone. It doesn’t mean they are against temples in a negative way…..its just not to their personal preference, the same is for sikhs. Some advaitists will go to the temple occasionaly as the atmosphere of devotion may be appealing or simply out of interest or friendship.They will sit somewhere quietly and pray within their own hearts. This does not mean they are praying to the Deities! One can pray anywhere, even on a battlefield in the face of death.It does NOT mean they are praying to the killer! They are praying to the omnipresent ONE who is everywhere. A realised person will see beyond the immediate form of anything or anyone and can feel God anywhere.But very few are at that place, so Gurdwaras, temples, mosques, churches, hospitals, graveyards all can help in their unique way to find the Omnipresent, all serving as focal points of different kinds. Point is one should not be satisfied by externals props and should always strive for the REALISATION of the omnipresent God of Prem WITHIN which connects us to all. Our eyes should always be anointed with Gods love as ……….ONE ENDLESS FOUNDATION FOR WORSHIP !Theology of enlightenment -ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS PARABRAHMAN!And Parabrahman is the Incomprehensible Transcendent Absolute that which existed before the birth of Space Time and the Physical Universe! And that which exist when all things have ceased to be!Therefore do not look for he Absolute truth here in the temporary but search for the absolute truth in PARABRAHMAN! Beyond the body , this Creation and this entropic Decaying Universe.God is the transcendent absolute that which existed before the birth of space time and form in the physical universe and that which shall continue to be when all things has ceased to be!There is only God !All else is illusion !That’s it!Because each God is an expression of operation of that same one unknown Incomprehensible Transcendent absolute that is That ONE GOD even worshipped by the Jews and the Christians which arose out of the transcendent manifest known as PARABRAHMAN!*When we are on the verge of uniting with the infinite wavelength of eternal vibration, our old frequency can sometimes go through a crisis of stasis. It buckles and bends trying to adjust itself and tune into the cosmic orchestra.We tend to doubt everything we’ve known to be true. In worst (best) case scenarios we tend to fall into an existential crisis, or Dark Night of the Soul. But, if we are able to make it through this dark time, and shed that which has weighed us down, then we will open up once again, and even wider than before.This can happen many times on our spiritual journey, and each time we tend to gain new levels of wisdom. Here are seven signs you may be experiencing a dark night of the soul.1) You’re experiencing, or have experienced, Ego DeathEgo Death, Soul Birth“I couldn’t live with myself any longer. And in this a question arose without an answer: who is the ‘I’ that cannot live with the self? What is the self? I felt drawn into a void. I didn’t know at the time that what really happened was the mind-made self, with its heaviness, its problems, that lives between the unsatisfying past and the fearful future, collapsed. It dissolved.” ~ Eckhart TolleYour sense of reality, or worldview, has been shattered. You have come to understand the illusory aspects of the egoand are in the process of letting attachment go. You are experiencing a re-organization, a reidentification, and a reinterpretation of the boundaries between self and cosmos.Like Stanislav Grof wrote, “Ego death means an irreversible end to one’s philosophical identification with what Alan Watts called skin-encapsulated ego.”Also referred to as the Night of Pan: the mystical state where one’s ego goes to die a small death in order to be reborn as a Soul. In mythological terms it’s a journey into the Underworld, where difficult trials must be completed before the hero can return back to the “real” world.2) It is only when you’re alone, that you realize you’re never alone“The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person–without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.” ~ OshoYou feel alone and isolated in the world at times, but you find that it is actually in your alone time that things become clearer and more connected. You realize the utmost importance of solitude and meditation. You’re coming to find that being alone and silent is a very important part of individuating the ego and actualizing the soul.3) You have a new-found appreciation of your mortality“Thanks to impermanence everything is possible.” ~ Thich Nhat HanhYou have become exceedingly introspective. The weight of time is like a giant sitting on your shoulders. But you are beginning to learn how to reverse that dynamic, becoming someone who has the ability to stand on the shoulders of the giantsinstead.You appreciate more the passing of time: the reminiscence of times past, the contemplative present, and the forbearance of things future. It’s all a giant telescopic projection of your third eye focused on the intrinsic value of mortality, and how it brings meaning in ways immortality simply cannot.4) The purpose of your life has taken on new meaning“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what this world needs are people who have come alive.” ~ Howard ThurmanYou realize that the meaning of life is whatever you want your life to mean. But this is a huge responsibility, tantamount to an existential crisis. Your breath catches in your throat, and is then dragged out of you.You are now suddenly duty-bound to bring meaning to an otherwise meaningless universe. It’s up to you, and you alone, to be the hero of your own story.It’s up to you, and you alone, to get beyond the artificial division you’ve created between yourself and the world. The mountain of meaningless you’ve been standing on hitherto, awaits the flag of your own unique meaning to be stabbed into it.The path to your own meaning is daunting, but it is a path that only you can walk.5) You’re more aware of the importance of your freedom“Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.” ~ Deepak ChopraYou understand that freedom is paramount. But willing yourself free is not easy. Freedom is something you do, not something you are. It is not a given. It takes effort, courage, and determination, usually in the face of those who would force you to live their way.You see how the inert, civilized human has escaped the anguish of freedom only to fall into a state of preoccupation and paranoia.BalanceYou see how the inert lifestyle can lead to nihilism and tyranny (extremism). You see how acting courageous in the face of that inertia is a powerful way to thwart the would-be tyrant within.You’re slowly becoming a freedom unto yourself, and though it hurts like hell, you realize that it’s better to be an unsatisfied free man than a satisfied slave.6) You’re experiencing anomie and cognitive dissonance“It is a happy faculty of the mind to slough that which conscience refuses to assimilate.” ~ William FaulknerAnomie is a term popularized by French sociologist Émile Durkheim. It is a nurtured condition that arises from the lack of morality and social ethics in one’s culture. You’ve experienced the pain of this condition and you are in the process of embracing it and letting it go in order to discover your own sense of values.Similarly, your old worldview has been trumped by the new worldview brought about by the individuation of your ego and the actualization of your soul. This is known as cognitive dissonance. It’s an unsettling feeling to have two worldviews clashing inside you, but you are working through it and will be better for the struggle in the end.7) You realize that the ability to fall apart and coming back together again is real strength“Suddenly you’re ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god you’re alive and it’s spectacular.” ~ Joseph CampbellYou realize that healthy annihilation is possible, and necessary. Like the Hindu Goddess of Never Not Broken, you’re learning to embody the ability to come together and fall apart, over and over again.Indeed, you’re discovering that your strength comes precisely from your ability to experience a dark night of the soul and come out of it with scars blazing like badges of honor.You are constantly in the throes of metanoia.You’ve been fire-tested. You’ve been verified by vicissitude. Your strength comes from your ability to adapt and overcome to falling apart and coming back together again, from wholeness to brokenness and back to a stronger form.All God’s are exprsssions of the one God same as the Jews and Christians believe A ONE GOD - yet in India -Many faces !Many Gods (exprsssions)Many idolsMany forms of worship ........Sanskrit - BRAHMA SATHYAM JAGAM MITHYA!Only God is the truth , it is the World that is false -Therefore existence appears to be duality ! But at its core the whole of existence is no dual having its entire existence in God who exists beyond the three modes of time , Past , present and future having his or its existence in Eternity and thus can never die and lasts forever and is therefore the only truth !ALL ELSE ROTS AWAY AND IS THEREFORE FALSE!THIS IS WHAT THE AVERAGE MAN WALKING DOWN YOUR ROAD ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE …… SO !So do not buy into the World and it’s values and stay away from women and sex of any kind! This will make you rot much quicker ! Do not contaminate the soul with passions and lusts! This is all impermanent and is therefore also FALSE! You must side with the immortal and not the temporary !THIS IS THE MEASURE OF A TRUE MAN!BE A PROFESSIONAL HUMAN BEING!This is the essence of the Advaita Vedanta ! So study it well ?

From the Bible! into God the Father and Creator or more correctly God Manifest!In Hinduism therefore there is the same as the Christians only One God! But in India this same God has many names and many faces depending on what you want God to do exactly!For example if you want God to deliver wealth and prosperity you can. Call upon his feminine face - mother Laxshmi who is Godess of wealth! If you want to call upon God to give you either Supernatural powers wisdom or grant you enlightenment them you would call up Lord Shiva - simple to understand!*Never forget this otherwise spiritual ignorance will rule you and you will never reach enlightenment!Therefore you must not only understand this, but have utter and absolute faith in God!And remember that he who is the Kaliyuga Avathar is the Lord of all gurus! So your Guru must be Sathya Sai Baba and to call him his auspices you must say each morning - Sai Ram! At least 9 to 107 times!Teaching for the Enlightened -What was the Source of god?What was the birth of God?Parabrahman is the ultimate truth!PARABRAHMAN is that which existed before the birth of Space Time and form and the physical Universe, and that which shall exists when all things have ceased to be!If God has a source it would be Parabrahman! if God had a birth it would be from the womb of Parabrahman ✡️!If God has a beginning it would have been from Parabrahman!If God is being then Parabrahman is Beingness!God arose out of Parabrahman!Parabrahman is the purest essence of God Before individual being of God was even considered !Parabrahman existed before the 7 Heavens !

There is no name or form!You can have you own favourite name and form for me and that is Good for you ! But as I am? Well I AM THAT I AM!DID GOD HAVE A BIRTH ?WHAT WAS THE ORIGINS OF GOD?There was first the originations of God as -PARABRAMANPARABRAMAN Was the birth of God as you know him!*Have you ever watched the sea and how it generates waves that last for a while and then return back to the Ocean where it came from………………….Well Parabrahman is the great Ocean of Consciousness that truly is GOD ! Each wave is a form of life , which appears to be separate , it only for a limited time and then return back to the Great Ocean of Parabrahman…The wave appears for a very short time to be separate- but it is an illusion created by Maya Shakti ! This makes reality Maya and MITHYA or Illusions or glamours of separation from GOD !When the heresy of separation from the field take on an o going momentum of its own which begins to move through time unobstructed it become cold and set like concrete manifesting as the accepted Norm!*But it is an ineffective , restricted and destructive system sometimes known as the MATRIX!The secret is ...........The greatest truth of reality is that only GOD exists ! Only Parabrahman exists! It so only that things appear to be separate !You are not somebody who is aware of the tree, the thought, feeling, or experience. You are the awareness or consciousness in and by which those things appear."?Or digitally - God is the operating system! The programmes is recognised reality !

Who is higher and we have to obey certain rules, not to enrage that one.We conceive of Parabrahman as all arose out of Parabrahman and Parabrahman is the nature of all things which is true-I conceive that all arose out of Parabrahman expressed as a kind of divine Leela or Maya which this Universe it but his muse or play or Leela for a limited time -…… but that upon a lower plane of existence the absoulute Parabrahman GOD may INDEED individualise to a certain extend to be known by name and form !…..and may even come so far down to This Earth to save us from ourselves when things become too intolerable - AS AVATAR - and I know that you Have all seen the movie Avatar! so I know you all know what I mean when I say that someone like Krishna and Jesus was an avatar of God! physical manifestation of God OR IN …Jesus’s case they will say that he was the incarnation of God the word of God made incarnate.Lord Shiva said to Lord Krishna .....O Viṣṇu, at my bidding you are now the creator, sustainer and destroyer of all the worlds. You are the bestower of virtue, wealth and love and the chastiser of people of evil predilection.You are the lord of the universe. You are worthy of the worship of the universe. You will be invincible in battle anywhere even against me.You will be endowed with great strength and valour. You take three Śaktis—will etc. conferred by me. You can have the power of exhibiting diverse sports and independence in the three worlds.O Viṣṇu, persons who hate you shall indeed be chastised and curbed by me with strenuous efforts.Salvation shall be given by me, O Viṣṇu, to your devotees. Accept this Māyā too which cannot be withstood by devas and others and by which the entire universe will be deluded and made insentient as it were.When Śiva invited Viṣṇu from Vaikuṇṭha. Śiva rejoiced at the perfect devotion of Viṣṇu. In an auspicious hour, the great lord made Viṣṇu sit on the exquisite throne and delightedly decorated him in every way. A beautiful coronet was fixed on Viṣṇu and the auspicious holy thread was tied to his waist. He was then coronated by lord Śiva in the Cosmic Hall.Mārkaṇḍeya Ṛṣi on Mahābhārata Harivaṃśa :—I offer my salutation to Śiva in the form of Viṣṇu, and Viṣṇu in the form of Śiva. I find no difference between the two. Observing my feelings, let both of them bestow welfare on me.Lord Viṣṇu cannot exist without Śiva, and Śiva cannot exist without Viṣṇu. Therefore, in the earlier times, both of them had unified personality. I offer my salutation to lord Rudra and Viṣṇu, who roam about in the world individually or collectively.LORD KRISHNABHAGAVAN Gita- Wherever there is Krsna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality.Are Hindus Idol worshippers, and Is it written anywhere in the Gita not to worship idols of GOD ?The Bhagavad Geeta does not condemn any form of worship Lord Krishna explains the three modes of Nature ie Sathwa Guna, Rajas Guna and the Thamasic Guna. A person’s mental and spiritual make up is determined by the interplay of Gunas. The predominant Guna determines a person’s concept of the eternal Source of life as well as the material world. In the Bhagavad Geeta it said that one may worship any form of the Creator. All forms are merely the representation of the ONE TOTAL ABSOLUTE.

This is the vision of the realised soul.Whereas majority of us perceive the world as real and are immersed in worldly activities.We are attached to objects of the world and are caught in the net of “Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada and Matsarya by force of our prarabdha KARMA and thus we are chained to the Samsara Dhukka ……This is individualised understanding of Parabrahman expressed by name and form as GOD or Lord …….Parabrahman VS MONOTHEISM?We are all expressions of the Brahman, you,me, the blade of grass or a rock.You have to expend your karma to remove the curtain of Maya (The matrix! ) to realize it......(attain moksha or become like Neo Beyond the Matrix!).Very different to the concepts of eternal servitude to one-God or a single god sending a redeemer son to save the ‘sinners’.

It so the only truth ! As it existed before the birth of TIME SPACE and FORM AND THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE!Everything arose out of this field of Energy! And everything will eventually be subsumed back Into this field of Energy !Einstein said that the Field was all ! All else does not exist! There is only the field ! This is a Very good understanding of Parabrahman indeed!Einstein came close to expressing the ultimate truth of Existence and he didn’t even know it!When you cannot see the whole or envisage the unity of all beings and life and perceive all things as separate then what you are seeing is the MATRIX! Elon Musk says that we Are all in the Matrix! Well perhaps he had a good point!MAYA SHAKTI IS THE MATRIX!She is the wool that has been pulled over your eyes preventing you from perceiving the truth of your trueNature, and the nature of Reality as it stands !Once you eyes are open and you see things for what they truly are you will realise that the Matrix of everyday life is false!

And respect all religions as they are paths -OUT OF THE MATRIX!Therefore go on the presumption that the phenomenal World DOES NOT EXIST ! It appears to be real and all things appear to be separate but it is NOT!Be utterly convinced That a type of Glamour has been thrown over your eyes preventing you from seeing the truth! This is your only chance of being free from the Matrix!The Allegory of the Cave.First, I’ll go through a quick summary of what the thought experiment actually is, before I then explain why I find it so interesting. Warning, although none of the interpretation is that complicated, the image of what is happening may first be confusing, you may have to read it more than once.~~~ Very basic diagram to help you keep track of what I’m describing ~~~The Allegory of the Cave was a thought experiment first put forward by Plato in the Republic around 380BC.The Allegory (in my own words, look up the original from the Republic if you want to read it as Plato wrote it):Consider some people who are trapped in a cave staring at a wall, incapable of moving their heads or bodies. Consider, then, that, behind them, there is a platform and behind it a fire.Then consider that there are people carrying objects and artefacts, animals and caricatures across this platform, such that the fire creates a shadow of these objects. While doing this, they also talk and make noise.The people in the cave heard these sounds but cannot see the objects, instead seeing only their shadows as created by the fire.They would believe the sounds to be coming from the shadows which they would believe to be the realest form of reality and existence. They would be totally unaware of any existence outside of the shadows (that is, the objects themselves), instead the shadows would be the realest form of the objects.Imagine, then, if one of the prisoners was freed and allowed to stand up, and turn around. Initially, the overwhelmingly light of the fire would hurt his eyes and he would not understand what he was seeing, still believing the shadows that he had watched his whole life to be real. Imagine he was then taking out of the cave (probably by force as he likely would not want to leave) and taken into broad daylight. The sight of animals and objects in their true form, the sounds of nature, and the bright light of the sun would completely overwhelm him bringing him to his knees, desperate to return to the comfort of the cave.Over time, however, he would gradually get used to the majesty around him first recognising shadows and reflections in the real world, then being able to look at objects themselves, then even look at the stars above and, eventually, the sun itself.As he begins to understand and observe the sound and beauty of the world around him, he would no longer miss the cave, instead feeling sorry for those still trapped within.Consider, then, that the prisoners still in the cave had learnt to recognise some of the repeated shadows and predict what shadows would come next and had begun to bestow praises and honour upon whoever was the best at recognising the shadows. Would the prisoner who had been freed envy these honours?Of course not, he would still feel sorry for the remaining prisoners.If he then returned to the cave and attempted to explain what he had seen in the real world to the prisoners would they listen to him? No, they would scorn him mocking what he says as to them it would sound like nonsense, instead they would continue to watch the shadows.And if the prisoner that had been freed now attempted to join in with their games at recognising and predicting shadows, he would inevitable lose as his eyes would be adjusted to the light and hence fail to recognise the shadows.Furthermore, later, if another prisoner tried to escape, the others (especially those with honours) would likely go to any lengths to stop them lest they too come back and claim the shadows are not real.At this point you may be slightly confused as to how such an abstract and ridiculous though experiment could slightly be interesting as it seems pretty complicated.The basic interpretation, however, is (I hope) pretty clear. The thought experiment basically theorises that all reality as we see it is an illusion, the “shadows” in a cave.And that the vast majority of the population is trapped in the cave and will be their entire life.The call of the seeker of the truth and how to escape the Matrix , however, is to break free of this and make the difficult journey into the “Real World”—Where illusions ends and Eternal reality begins- PLATO!ONLY- God (Parabrahman) is the absolute Truth to The whole of Existence! Parabrahman is the basic substratum of Existence! The fleeting shadows dancing on the back of Aristotles cave wall is the illusion ! It the candle flame which was the source of light for the dancing shadows was the only truth !NOW YOU FINALLY KNOW THE TRUTH! Be free! Escape from the Matrix!NOW I will tell you this one last secret !The Movie the Matrix is actually made to teach you that things in everyday life are NOT as they appear to be!Now at the end of Matrix Num 1 when the credits begin to roll at about the end before the THE END TITLE -(if it has not been edited out)……….You will hear a very Ancient Sanskrit hymn sung fast by a professional choir-It goes like this -ASATOMA SATH GAMAYATHAMASO MA JYORTIR GAMAYAMRITHOR MA AMRITAM GAMAYA!TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH AS ————FROM FALSEHOOD LEAD ME TO THE TRUTH!FROM DARKNESS LEAD ME INTO LIGHT!FROM DEATH LEAD ME TO IMMORTALITY!What is the true meaning of Kathopanishad 2.3.4?इह चेदशकद्बोद्धुं प्राक्शरीरस्य विस्रसः।ततः सर्गेषु लोकेषु शरीरत्वाय कल्पते॥४ ॥iha cedaśakadboddhuṃ prākśarīrasya visrasaḥ |tataḥ sargeṣu lokeṣu śarīratvāya kalpate || 4 ||Translation:“If here in this life, before death comes, one is not able to realize the truth (Supreme Brahman), then one has to again take birth in another body in the created world (material worlds)”This verse from Kathopanishad has a better, more clear, more direct explanation in Bhagavad Gita.In Bhagavad Gita, the following has been revealed......1 Lord Krishna is the Supreme Truth, the Supreme Brahman and Arjuna accepted this as true by quoting similar statements by prominent sages and saints.[1] [2] [3] [4]2 The Supreme Truth, the Supreme Being, the Supreme Brahman, Sri Krishna says that those who cannot understand the truth about Him again come here in this world to take birth.[5] [6]3 Those who realize this truth about The Eternal BRAHMAN will become liberated and never return to this world again ever !Know not that thou art Eternity itself replete with full power and majesty- It is just that at present you do not know this truth! The sleeper must Awaken !Mind is a bundle of desires creating a Tapestry Of illusion ......Remove the threads of attachment and strings of desires one by one- And at the end The Tapestry disappears! And you are free of the MATRIX!Now this is finally ...............THE END(Bro David

Rohingya - the term started using around 1950.In 1942, Japanese invasion occured and occupied British retreated back to India to defend India. Meanwhile, British promised Bangali Muslim to give some land.The armed Bangali did not attack Japanese but killed 30,000 Rakhine Buddhists and burnt down over 90 villages in 1942 when Myanmar became a battle ground during World War II.When Myanmar got independence in 1948, the Bangali leader asked Pakistan to annexed part of Rakhine.At that time, Pakistan and Bangladesh were one country.Then Bangali leader started Mujahidden movement and started fighting with government forces.Brcause of Muslim forces, Christian ethnic forces and threat of communist, Myanmar became a socialist, one party system and dictatorship nation and became a closed country from Presidential and open country in 1962. During that time, Bangali left the country.In 1971, because of Bangladesh independence war, some refugees came into Myanmar. Several reason, Myanmar government tried to deport them but United Nations didn’t agree and since then stateless population are growing. Every time, Myanmar send them back, they come back double.In the meantime, General Ne Win ruled in Myanmar from 1962 to 1988 until 1988 uprising and many thousands of people who participated in protest and some bystanders were killed.During his era, General Ne Win deported back many Indians and Myanmar-Indian relationship was soared. They had to leave every possession behind and only brought a few cash.But, most Indians were repatriated along with British during World War II.Why Myanmar doesn’t like foreign born?Bamar Buddhist King invaded Rakhine Buddhist King in 1700s. They took some Rakhine and they took several Buddha statues to main land.The best image taken away is this:Usually, Rakhine was spared Bamar invasion due to Rakhine Yoma - deep forest and mountain ranges which divided mainland and coastal region.But, in 1700s, Rakhine Buddhist Kingdom fell under Bamar Buddhist Kingdom.Burmese Empire was sometimes like this when they took over neighboring region.In 1700s, Burmese not only got Rakhine, they also got Assam and Manipur which are part of India now and Cittagaung Hill Track which is part of Bangladesh now.After that, Burmese Empire was dangerously closed to British-India which was Pakistan-India-Bangladesh.British and Burmese disagreed the territory near Rakhine and British India area and the war broke out.To end the First British-Bamar war, they made a treaty called Yandabo (which is a town name). Burmese had to give up - Rakhine and Tanintharyi State which was part of Myanmar and transferred Assam and Manipur to British which are no longer part of Myanmar.Second war, British got lower Burma and third war they annexed the whole country.British didn’t use white people to attack Myanmar. Most of their soldiers are Pakistani, Indian, Bangali etc.They made Myanmar part of British India and there was no door for immigration.While Myanmar had 9 million people, British brough 3 million immigrants and once Bamar Buddhist town and capital were filled with South Asians.They not only took away blue collar jobs, they took away all collar jobs. The Indian lenders lent money to Burmese farmers with huge interest and when they had nothing left after paying interest. Some unfortunate had to give up not only their land because of debts they had to give up their family members as a salve.Logically, other persons came to your country and cut down the forest, drilling the oil and you worked like 16 hours a day and living in 10 by 10 room with the whole family, there was Workers revolution occured. Farmers revolution also occured. They were cracked down.Around 1930, Burmese students couldn’t stand the immigrants and requested the British to separate Burma from British -India. Burma became a separate crown colony.When British took away Burmese King and family, they also took away their jewelries. They took many Buddha statues to India to melt and make bullets and coins.The foot soldiers whom they brought from their colony burnt down Burmese historical records and scriptures until they were asked to spare those and stopped.Well … there were many good things British brought in as well as they left many bad things behind.Because of their device and conquer policy, the ethnic groups, immigrants and majority Burmese had a lot of problems.The Bangali/Rohingya and Rakhine native are two different civilizations meaning they are ethnically, linguistically, culturally, traditionally, religionly different.Rakhine was governed by Rakhine King and according to the stone tablet, the kings were traced back to over 5,400 years. 2,600 years ago, when Buddha was alive, he came to Rakhine and since then Rakhine became a Buddhist country.These are some pagodas near last Rakhine Kingdom - Myauk Oo.Rakhine’s script was coming from Bramani and there were changes every century and developed to mothern day.On the other hand, Rohingya’s script was invented around 1960 and finish 1980 or so.Rakhine pagoda had scrupture of laity and can be found 80 or more way of how to do hair.On the other hand, some Rohingya wrap their head and toe and follows Middle Eastern culture.In fact, Rakhine didn’t have any Muslim King.The population in Rakhine is made up of around 2.5 millions and that includes seven ethnic groups of Rakhine, some Bangali Hindu, Chin and Bamar people included.The people who claimed Rohingya are 500,000 in Myanmar, 1 million in Bangladesh, 1.5 million scattered from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Pakistan, India to Thai, Malay, Indonesia, Australia etc.The total they claimed is 3 millions while local whose ancestors living there for at least 5,400 years are only 2 millions.Local people felt that they are slowly genocide like the people who feel in Assam.They became minority in their own country. While local people have average two children, Rohingya/Bangali get married at 13 or 14 and when they reach 18 or 19, they have four kids already. They get married to more than one wife and many are under age.Yes .. there are problems especially two civilizations are totally different. It’s not like slightly change from Chinese to Korean and Koran to Japanese.Along the Himalayas, the civilizations are totally different. The people came from Southern part of India to North, the Tibetan and Mongo came from North to South, Indo Aryan coming from West to East.Here is the Chin people who lives north of Rakhine State.

Bunny Phyoe)There are some Tibetan Myanmar, Indian Myanmar, Chinese Myanmar, Nepalese Myanmar, Sri Lanka Myanmar. But, they didn’t claim they are part of Myanmar 135 ethnic group.The Bangali leader who claimed as Rohingya wanted to become part of the ethnic groups.What’s the difference between immigrants citizens and ethnic citizens.According to Union Treaty before Myanmar got independence, they agreed to get independence together and form a federal union. And they were allowed to break up or separate from Union.Ethnic groups also have rights for demanding autonomous region.Then the Bangali deseperate to become the Rohingya and get recognized as an ethnic group. The term was politically invented in 1950s.In the meantime, regular Indian Myanmar and Bangali Myanmar who live quietly became citizens.Will the issue be resolved if they get citizenship? The people in the region or the rest of the country are not certain. For example, near Thia-Malay border, the Muslims are citizens but some got radicalized by so called Muslim Nations and they cut the throt of the monks who are going for alm rounds in the morning. Thailand is about 95% Buddhist country.Even then, they get terrorized and over 6,000 Buddhist and Muslim people near Thai-Malay border died.Most of Myanmar Muslim in the mainland are quite peaceful and they regarded themselves as more Myanmar even though they came from various countries.In conclusion, I don’t want to blame the Bangali/Rohingya but we also cannot ignore the people who lived there for over 5,400 years with their own kingdom and it is also important that they will not separate from Union.There are two Rakhine militants groups and if Rakhine people don’t like central government decisions, the group will be stronger.Myanmar government is literally fighting with some groups and there is also potential of military coup if military doesn’t like the civilian government decisions.If such time comes, because of Muslims across the globes used the media, the small trust between communities have already broken and they will be the most vulnerable group. Because, they don’t have any support from any ethnic groups or people of Myanmar.If you have time, you should also learn North Eastern part of India.Further listening :)Myanmar National AnthemMyanmar - National Anthemကမ္ဘာမကျေ (Kaba Ma Kyei) - National anthem of Myanmar (Burma) with lyrics27th SEA Games Myanmar National AnthemMyanmar National Anthem before Singapore vs MyanmarHow does 1988 uprising look like? To change the government - socialist to democracy, closed country to open …ကမ႓ာမေၾကဘူး သီခ်င္း(Part of the song is: the civilians corpses are scattering and lying on the 100 feet road. How can they do that? Tha Khin “Aung San” (Aung San Su Kyi’s father who was a National Hero - father of independence, union and army) … oh father … come back and look, Ko Daw Mhaine (highly respected political movement leader during colonial period) … oh grandfather… come back and look what is happening in our nation, the country is stained with blood … the history goes wrong (coz highly honored and respected army killed their own civilians during uprising), we wrote the history with own blood. The blood flowing on the 100 feet road hasn’t dried yet. We will never forgive or forget at the end of the world.) That’s when the army’s honor was ripped apart.Myanmar militaryDuring British Invasion:)ျမန္မာျပည္သား(The song is: The girls asked where they are from, why they are marching and the guys answered they are all eight ethnic groups and going to fight the invaders. In this case, the girls offered “Tha Pyay flowers” which brings good luck and winning. They accepted the wish and flowers because the journey they go is rough going through mountains, forests and river, facing the enemies which is risky and dangerous but in order to protect the country, they cannot care their own lives.)Well … there was one or two TV channels under military regime and we kept watching above play several times when we were a kid.After military regime is partially gone, we still love this song.
