“Village of Service”

Last week I visited a village in eastern Maharashtra state,originally called Segaon, the village was given its present name Sevagram by Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1936 here he founded another ashram and directed the independence movement of india.Within this he created a model community that still flourishes, in which the inhabitants still lives a simple & progressive existence.
It was a lovely experience to feel the spirit that still lingers.

The story of Muzaffar aka Vivek

In time like this (as always in India) in a place like Gujarat known and interpreted otherwise we got to know and share the story of Muzzaffar.We are unhappy, angry, annoyed, frustrated with whatever is happening and the way media present them to us.
That’s why the true story of Muzzafar I read in TOI is comes to us as a ray of light to me.
I hope same will be feeling of other who has not read it yet.

Juxtaposition

Sometimes the two poles of none existent truth and the ever troubling relativity meets each other. This correspondence that took place near bout eighty years go is one of the finest example of it.

Translation:

Respected Mr. Gandhi !I use the presence of your friend in our home to send you these lines. You have shown through your works, that it is possible to succeed without violence even with those who have not discarded the method of violence. We may hope that your example will spread beyond the borders of your country, and will help to establish an international authority, respected by all, that will take decisions and replace war conflicts.With sincere admiration,

Yours

A. Einstein.

I hope that I will be able to meet you face to face some day.

LONDON, October 18, 1931

DEAR FRIEND,I was delighted to have your beautiful letter sent through Sundaram. It is a great consolation to me that the work I am doing finds favour in your sight. I do indeed wish that we could meet face to face and that too in India at my Ashram.

Yours sincerely

M. K. GANDHI

If it doesn’t exist; why to search for it?

Truth!
Truth nothingness, or whatever we may call it.
Ans: Because we cant stop being ourselves even if we want so,
So like it or not we have to keep doing what is being expected from us in whatever best sense possible to the best of our judgments.(which we fail to do)
The greatest truth seeker to me is the man in the picture.
I admit he never reached it. But he experienced the pain in the path seeking the truth.
Thanks ‘lage raho…..’, his existence were kidnapped and ransomed by the politician and pseudo intellectuals and we Gandhi’sm became a dirty word.
Though Munna bhai brought the old ideas back in fashion still over restora’s, coffee shops and bar addas Gandhi bashing is the fashion and people don’t contradict to that as nobody wants themselves to be ragged and dragged in adda halls.
That’s the way we are paying our tribute to the greatest truth seeker of present world history.
I can’t blame the society because now a days I tam also guilty of being a mare silent observer as I believe I cant change a single thing around me even if I want.
That’s why he is great because he not only changed himself he took the country along with.
Regrettably he couldn’t change everyone!

A relative world.

Why nothingness is the other name for nirvana.
Because there is no absolute truth. Whenever we come to a conclusion we know that we have reached the relative absolution. This curly grey haired man has changed every definition we have ever believed ever since.
Everything is relative.
So what is truth?
Nothing!
We salute you Einstein.

Nothingness –the other name of nirvana

Nothingness –the other name of nirvana

Whether we talk of absolution, super soul, real truth, or anything
or we can refer to it as nothing....
