Greetings for 2010

Hi Folks

Hopefully you will all find time to go thru my heavy new year greetings. Here it goes

2010 – Message
The Hindu religion amongst its many features has this unique one; it sanctions absolute freedom and power to us human beings, to exercise our free will without hindrance, in performance of all our acts. This is in sync with our conception of a quintessentially democratic set-up.
The only caveat is that the plethora of over 3 billion Gods, watch over every action of ours as mute witnesses, and dispense with fruits of such actions based on the merits. It also holds, that in the ultimate stage of man’s evolution, one will be able to perceive in one’s consciousness, that You/I/Gods are all mere illusive manifestations of that undivided, non-dual, “ONE REALITY” the universal soul. Thus with consummate ease, the religion, is able to take in its fold non-believers, nay even persons of other faith, as indeed part of the same Universal Soul.
This profound concept, (loosely termed hinduthwa) with emphasis on one’s consciousness, could fill our psyche overwhelmingly, but our mindset mesmerized by the tantalizing lure of the word “management” has just succumbed to the sophistry of buzzword TQM, and allowed this to permeate every sphere of our mundane/corporate/temporal/spiritual lives. More sadly, this hinduthwa concept itself has become an object of ridicule if not abuse, in the land of predominant Hindus. Running this down, passes off as legitimate “noblesse oblige” and is almost mandatory for the others, if they want to be relevant.
Figure 2010, represented as a single digit, gives the number 3. Numerology gives this number to planet Jupiter. Hindus elevate Jupiter to “God’s Guru” status, and the Gregorian calendar year 2010 is almost on us.
A year in the cosmic life cycle would represent a nano -second. Can we therefore pause, ponder, and perhaps meditate for that nano-second, inspired by the lord Jupiter, ridding ourselves of all barriers like hate, prejudice, boundaries of religion/states etc ad- nauseum, try and experience in our consciousness the transcendental reality of “oneness” with the non-dual universal soul in absolute bliss. Wishing you all, love, peace, and prosperity, thru 2010, and forever thereafter. ALV
