Translation:  "According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, the four divisions of human society were created by Me. And, although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the non-doer, being unchangeable." Bhagavad Gita. 4.13 The meaning of the above sloka is that the 4 Varna are created by Shri Krishna (here ' I'  is not used as a reference to the self but to the creator) and the division is based on  Guna and Karma of the person . Every human being can be placed in either of the 4 categories and no one is left without a category. It doesn't matter if the person is Vedic, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, Muslim or Atheist. Yes, that's true. The concept is universal. It applies on everyone, no matter if he is a man living in  Sahara  or  Aboriginal  women living in the wilderness of Australia. Take a note that Varna and Jati (Caste) are completely different. Let...

Wiki states Planned Parenthood is a NGO providing reproductive health and material and child health services. It is the largest US provider of reproductive health services, counseling, contraception and abortion. For us it may seem new but the name is not unfamiliar among the residents of United States of America . Even kids know them well :) Recently, Planned Parenthood has been in news for using tax dollars for abortions . As per Seattle Times, Planned Parenthood carried out 3 Lac 30 thousand abortions in 2010 , i.e. more than a quarter million. The number itself is so huge for a developed country. 3 Lac abortions, I would rather say cold blooded murder of 3 Lac fetuses in 365 days. And still things are motionless as if there is nothing wrong or odd to raise your brow. Abortions have become a daily routine. Isn’t it? But I would ask them do you have the guts to see how abortions are carried out? Do you have the courage to witness the breaking of bones and tearing o...

         Recently, we have seen people from Israel and Britain worried about the conditions of women in India. Moreover, as a token of sympathy they have come up with a film to expose Indian men and the Indian culture. According to them, women in India are in a very depressing situation. They are deprived of human rights. They are attacked, molested and murdered by the male dominated Indian society, thus concluding and accusing the Indian culture to be a demonic one           How do they jump to such conclusions? I still wonder! They blame the complete society, the complete civilization, without giving a look in their own house. It is sick to interview a criminal and determine the entire society on that basis. If so bothered ,why did the documentary producer pay Rs Rs 40,000 to the rape convict. Why wasn’t a documentary made based on Jimmy Savile , who is accused of hundreds of sexual assault case...

            We all knew the drama played by media targeting the inclusion of Ancient Science papers in 102nd Indian Science Congress. Little did the people knew that all the criticism was in media and not in the conference. I saw the e xperts and Scientists present there did asked questions but that was not criticism, rather CURIOSITY!            I would like to quote the words of a renowned personality present at the Science Congress. He said ''Media and other intellectuals opposing the event doesn't even know how to criticize! Ideas cannot be criticized by words. We have to put them in laboratory. And we are going to do that. We will test these stuffs in laboratory and later derive the conclusions. Innovations and Imaginations should never be stopped.''            For years we ignored ourselves and tried best to own what others left...
