<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Kashmiri Language Kashmiri Pandits or Swarsot Bharahmins call Yajyopaveeta as ‘‘Youne’’ and it is also called as Janu in Hindi language.<br />
According to Vedas, the oldest of all Hindu scripture as well as world’s Scriptures; Yajopaveeta is one of the 16th vedic Sacraments (Vedic Sanskars) to be performed in a Hindu’s life. This is known as Mangal Sotra which means ‘‘Sacred Thread’’ in English Language. According to Vedic guide line every Hindu wear it on certain occasions, but Brahmins of Kashmir celebrate this sanskara with zeal and zest. Because it is considered most essential sanskar among other sanskar.</p>
<p>To understand its sanctity and significance one has interestingly and carefully to examine its material used for making and construction.<br />
It is white in colour, made of raw yarn.</p>
<p>There are three threads and each thread is further made up of three most tiny threads. The total length of a Yajyopaveeta or ‘‘Younie’’ is 98 fingers with five knots on it that make the thread circular. In Kashmiri fingers mean ‘‘Mav’’. The white colour of this sacred threads represents the Purity and Peace. Natural cotton fiber is used in constructing the Yajyopaveeta, because it does not cause any allergy to the body.</p>
<p>The length as mentioned above has been fixed as the average human body is 98 in figures long in height.<br />
The three threads together signify our three debts we owe to the society.<br />
i. Rishi Rin ii. Dav Rin iii. Pitri Rin.<br />
The debt towards our parents for all their hard ships selflessness service and bringing us up, this debt (Rin) is to be returned by serving our parents in their needy hours-oldage, and obey them. To keep them happy. But not after death.</p>
<p>Rishi Rin means debt towards our true gurus and preceptors for true guidance, imparting knowledge and enlighten us, inspiration for good deeds by which others are not hurt.</p>
<p>Dev Rin :- The Rin (debt) towards animate and inanimate deities.<br />
Animate devs are mother, father, True Garu all from whom you derive the value of life. Inanimate devs such as earth, water, fire, air, ether etc etc because they provide us with life giving resources.</p>
<p>The oneness of these threads teaches us that we too must have oneness in our thought, word and deeds. There should not be divergence between theory and practice.</p>
<p>Second thing of the oneness of these threads remind us that ‘‘Parkriti’’ or the entire universe has also three ‘‘Gunas’’ (Attributes) Satuguna, Raju Guna, and Tamo Guna. The cycle of life also has three aspects, birth, sustenance, and death which is the IIIrd description of oneness of three threads.<br />
The fourth description tells us that the Sacred threads keep us reminding our three eternals i.e God, (Parmatma) Soul (Atma) and Matter or (Prakriti) which all the three are indestructible.</p>
<p>The three tiny threads of one thread and thus the total 9 tiny threads of a Yajyopaveet or ‘‘Younie’’ which Hindus use to wear, warns us about the body in which the soul stays for a particular period to be vigilant about the use of our nine exits. These Exits are two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth and two excretory out lets. The nine tiny threads of gaytri constantly remind us to keep these nine exits functional legally and never to misuse or abuse any of them.</p>
<p>The gaytri Sanskar or Yajyopaveet ceremony as per Vedic guidelines were usually performed when a child started schooling in good olden days. His parents would also inspire him the importance of it. This ceremony can be performed at any stage in life for those who unfortunately have missed it.<br />
The sanctity of this sacrament is enhanced if one understands its meaning and obligation before embarking on wearing one.</p>
<p>Method of wearing :<br />
It is worn on the left side shoulder round to the right side of the waist under the right arm which goes over the line of heart and ends at the waist line. Thus it becomes mandatory to perform all the duties you take oath at the time of ceremony. But what has been observed at present when such ceremonies take place, Yajyopaveet takers are not being explained by those who are supposed to. Vedas do not allow you to remove this sacred thread before the end of life.</p>
<p>The sacred thread however is removed when one attains Sanyasa.<br />
Yes if it is torn some where, one can replace it.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Occasionally I embark on a trip: Switch on GOD TV, inevitably I have to admit that I am turning out ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">Occasionally I embark on a trip: Switch on GOD TV, inevitably I have to admit that I am turning out to be a big fan of the epileptic preachers who appear on it. Big gatherings from India, especially south India appear on this channel, where devotees clap their hands and sing hymns and occasionally beat the pulp out of their heart. This really enchants me and I fall in to a trance. Sorry to say, not because of the preacher or the prayer (which I hardly listen to) but seeing the thespian act put up in this show. People who gather in front of these violent, epileptic preachers are definitely more blessed than rest us. Some of them are blessed to an extent that, they are cured by all those concoctions (Magic oil or something of that sort) they try to sell through it. It is ridiculous and pathetic to say the least, but definitely is worth a watch. I have always wondered, if these preachers twist a nerve or two and die when they badly try to get the message across to the docile believers, Will that be dubbed as direct ascendancy to heaven?</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">GOD channel also carries 1 hour news broadcast by CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network, where one of the biggest evil present among the man kind appears – Pat fucking Robertson. He blathers or mumbles about various issues all around the world and will tell you some tips to obtain “financial blessing” I chanced upon watching his show yesterday, where he talked ebulliently about the number of Jews returning from North America to Israel and scornfully went on to interview another fuck who claims Iranians are indiscriminately killing Americans for the past 28 years and topped it all with a prophetic statement “dividing Jerusalem risks gods wrath”. It’s a known fact that, invading and shooing away the original settlers in Jerusalem won’t risk gods wrath or has not risked god’s wrath yet. The statements made on this show by Pat Robertson should be put under serious scrutiny by our government as it doesn’t comply with our constitution which espouses religious freedom and equal rights to all religions. He openly term “Moslems” as the bad guys, the Jews the better of the lot and Christians as the ‘sons and daughters of god”. It is fucking irritating. I am not bothered if Christians really are children of god, I don’t care a damn. But don’t give that argument sitting right in my courtyard. If they are, they can very well be and fuck off! Let them preach and do what ever but take Pat Robertson off the air, he is fake, a fraud who has openly called for the assassination of a democratically elected president – Hugo Chavez. The same hypocrite in his daily show calls for the strengthening of pro democracy movements in Iran which is now tangled under a theocratic regime.</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">What is the real difference between the Iranian theocratic regime and the neo-con American government where fucks like Pat Robertson are in bed with Bush and Co? Though they act behind a screen, most of the decisions of the American government are influenced by these kinds of religious quacks. I personally don’t hold any kind of grudge against Christianity or Christians and I am as ignorant about Christianity as I am about my religion. But I can’t stand these preachers who have diluted the so called values these religions espouse.</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">How will I have a financial blessing? If you watch CBN, you will find people who really had it. It is just a trick to subvert your senses; you will never have a financial blessing, unless you work your ass off.The squirmy face of Pat Robertson won’t earn it for you neither do his 700 club. Is there something called a "sexual blessing" also?</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">This channel should be banned in India as it promotes superstitious beliefs by selling miracle oils and miracle healing. It propagates hatred; as they indulge in belittling other religions especially Islam and they openly support an illegal aggression that is happening in Palestine endorsed by a Zionist Israel. As citizens of India, who believes in a constitution which offers parity to all sections of the society, it is illegal to have channel like GOD which carries CBN and Pat Robertson.</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">This will seem to be a parochial rant; as there are monstrosities like Sanskar, Aashray – the Hindu God providers and Q TV – the Islamic preacher around in India. Yes, I have spend some time in analysing them too, Sanskar and Aashray which mostly delivers the message in Hindi is a pathetic offering as you might find Baba Ramdev telling “Don’t drink Colas – It will make you dark” . These channels in which the frame mostly occupies a bearded quack or aunties afflicted with mid-life crisis swaying to chants doesn’t inculcate any kind of sanskar as the name espouse nor does it have anything substantial to offer any “aashray”. Q TV which is broad-casted from Pakistan (??) carries bearded Mullahs blathering in Urdu most of the time, which I cant comprehend. I enjoy the qawwalis they carry.</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>
<p align="justify" style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal">I don’t understand the need of these channels in our society as we are littered with temples, mosques and churches that sometimes even encroach public land. These channels are vile and vicious, trying to belittle other religions and in the process inculcating religious animosity in our society. There is no dearth of animosity in our societies, which is already propelled by our political masters who have been using these sentiments effectively to garner votes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>१. जो व्यक्ति ऐसे लोगों को दंड देता है जिन्हें दंड नहीं देना चाहिए  तथा जिनको देना चाहिऐ उनको नहीं देता उसे जगत में बहुत अपयश मिलता है और मरने के बाद वह नरक भोगता है.<br />
२.सबसे पहले अपराध करने को समझाना चाहिऐ, जब उसका प्रभाव न पड़े तब उसकी भर्त्सना करनी चाहिए. जब इससे  भी वह न समझे तो उस पर अर्थ दंड लगाना चाहिए, जब इसका भी अनुकूल प्रभाव नहीं पड़े तो उसे शारीरिक दंड देना चाहिऐ. उसके बाद भी प्रभाव न पड़े तो चारों डंडों का प्रयोग करना चाहिए.</p>

आप]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>रहिमन जिह्म बावरी, कही गइ सरग पाताल<br />
आपु तो कहि भीतर रही, जूती खात कपाल</strong> </p>
<p>कविवर रहीम कहते हैं कि इस मनुष्य के बुद्धि बहुत वाचाल है. वह स्वर्ग से पाताल तक का अनाप-शनाप बककर  अन्दर चली जाती है पर अगर  उससे  लोग  गुस्सा होते हैं तो बिचारे  सिर को जूते  खाने पड़ते हैं.</p>
<p>भावार्थ-यहाँ संत रहीम चेता रहे हैं कि जब भी बोलो सोच समझ कर बोलो. कटु वचन बोलना या दूसरे का अपमान करने  पर मार खाने की भी नौबत आती है. इसलिए किसी को बुरा-भला कहकर लांछित नहीं करना चाहिए. </p>
<p><strong>रहिमन ठहरी धूरि की, रही पवन ते पूरि<br />
गाँठ युक्ति की खुलि गयी, अंत धूरि को धूरि </strong></p>
<p>संत रहीम कहते हैं ठहरी हुई धूल हवा  चलने से स्थिर नहीं रहती, जैसे व्यक्ति की नीति का रहस्य यदि खुल जाये तो अंतत: सिर पर धूल ही पड़ती है. </p>
<p>भावार्थ-श्रेष्ठ पुरुष अपने अपने हृदय के  विचारों को आसानी से किसी के सामने प्रकट नहीं करते. यदि उनके नीति सबंधी विचार पहले से खुल जाएं तो उनका प्रभाव कम हो जाता है और उन्हें अपमानित होना पड़ता है.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><code><em><strong><br />
बडे दीन को दुख सुनो, लेट दया उर जानि<br />
हरी हाथी सों कब हुतो, कहू रहीम पहिचानि<br />
कवि रहीम कहते हैं. महान पुरुषों के हृदय में दुखी व्यक्ति की कातर वाणी सुनकर दया का संचार हो जाता है, परन्तु बन्दर  कब हाथी हो सकता है? इस बात को समझ लें.<br />
भावार्थ-उनका आशय यह है किस संसार में अपने हितैषी की पहचान में सतर्कता बरतनी चाहिए. जो मदद करने वाले होते हैं वह आदमी का दर्द सुनते ही मदद करते हैं. कुछ लोग ऐसे होते हैं जो बातें बहुत बड़ी-बड़ी करते हैं  और उछल कूद इस तरह करते हैं जैसे की बहुत कार्य कुशल  हों पर वास्तव में किसी काम के नहीं होते-केवल बातों के ही होते हैं.</p>
<p>बिगरी बात बनाईं नहीं, लाख करू किन कोय<br />
रहिमन फाटे दूध को, मथे न माखन होय </p>
<p>कवि रहीम कहते हैं की दूध के फटने से मक्खन नहीं निकल सकता. इस प्रकार जो बात एक बात  बिगड़ जाती है, वह  फिर से बन नहीं पाती, चाहे आदमी कितना भी यत्न कर ले.  </p>
<p>भावार्थ-हर व्यक्ति को अपने व्यवहार में सतर्कता बरतनी चाहिए-क्योंकि एक बार बात बिगड़ जाती है तो फिर उसे बनाना मुश्किल है. सभी से प्रेम और मधुर वाणी का व्यवहार करना चाहिए, अगर किसी के मन में एक बार  विद्वेष आ गया तो फिर उसे दूर करना मुश्किल होगा. </strong></em></code></p>
