Substantial research,realization and observations were made by Hindu saints of various schools on issues of Sat,Chit,Aanada-Brahmn—of various attributes as observed/realized by the saints.Materialism gives the evolutionary school backed by substantial verifications through Empirical school of philosophy.To-day this is the officially accepted faith or method?Spiritualism dwells about deep state of  inward existence beyond time,space and awareness of existance.In that state the observer and observed becomes one or it is difficult to point out—this is this?It is a state of very high existence away from all human feelings but alert to the existence?Different religious schools called it  in different material forms of expression.This state can not be expressed exactly.But it  is as real as material  existence.Both knowledge of materialism and spiritualism seem to be evolutionary?The more you dig –the more  you seem to get depending on your ability to explore fearlessly in the inward world?In some extreme states of existence,it may be difficult to get back unless one is alert in a meditative state?Again to fix both material truth and spiritual truth is difficult as finite state,nothingness,infinite state and indeterminate state  seem to be embedded in both cases?Hence it is difficult to fix –this is this-especially in spiritualism—that state of great existence—call it obsolute-aananda state?In material truth—in its finite state you can fix things for experimentability,verifiability  and repeatability.But Holistic truth is all comprehensive  including spiritual truth,material truth and the to be probed lateral truth?What matters to mankind is the symbolism  each gives/appear to give for human survival and well being.Scientific method  has its forecasting  mechanism.Spiritual practices have their perceived system of symbolisms followed by different faiths  for human/life well being.But times have come to fuse them and see with both these visions to-gether  while at the same time be open for emerging  methods.Then humanity can visualize a higher order consciousness.To fix things into equation like—matter=energy=consciousness is too premature or insufficient basis?We are able to define matter,energy and to some extent consciousness in somewhat their finite state but not in the periphery of the contours?Research and realization  was going on from times immemorial or can go on now also,but application may be what matters to the general publc(all except the seers) for achieving  synergy,peace,harmony,justice and development  in this troubled  world?For more material ,pl visit Speeches part of  www.materialistspiritualist.org

Wealth has captured US political process by  C.Gopinath (Business Line dated 22-04-2012)

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/columns/c-gopinath/article3342566.ece

Wealth seems to have captured-Legislature,Executive,Judiciary and Media—the four holy pillars of democracy.Wealth created by all ,not necessarily the entrepreneurial class alone-is being used to purchase power in all four pillars including drafting of ligislations.This will result in vested interest and immediate gratification leading to failure of social systems giving raise to untold misery to a vast majority of helpless public. PUBLIC INTEREST on which basis institutions and democratic process is conceptualized,drafted and implemented is thrown to winds.People especially  leaders-political/business  seem to be used to  easy  un-questioned money.They seem to have forgotten the virtues of  SHRAMA/LOBOUR as enshrined in all holy scriptures.This phenomenon seem to be universal.There is a need for paradigm shift in our thinking,faiths,beliefs,attitudes and behavior for achieving synergy,peace,harmony,justice and development for all every where.

The year of the stray dog by  Yan Lianke,Beijing published in the Deccan Chronicle dared 11-05-2012

Very painful feelings from China—freedom,dignity  vs  bread

http://www.deccanchronicle.com/editorial/op-ed/year-stray-dog-575

The revolutionary leadership all over the world promised the cadre/foot soldiers-a great dream- a dream where equality,prosperity,dignity etc. are assured?But after almost 100 years of left revolutionary struggles-what are the lessons for the intelligent children of working class people? You can not separate END from MEANS?Both are embedded in the wholistic total?There is a need for commitment of the highest order to humanity,life and dharma (or commitment to the agreed principles).One can question the old order which may be troublesome and inefficient,but the leadership should be clear where they are driving the public/supporters and ensure proper systems and processes are in place to steer in the broad vision embarked upon.This is true of all  emanicipative methods in all systems involving huge mass of public.

Lobbyists,Guns and Money  by  Paul Krugman (New York Times dated 26-03-2012)

Op-Ed Columnist:  Lobbyists, Guns and Money

When man becomes too materialistic and mechanistic,he sees only matter everywhere in the form material psysique,material comforts,immediate gratification,profit etc.He sees the other person as a tool to get these?If great institutions which are all along pampered for greatness  are so mean,what will happen to future of humanity?There is a need for moderation and effective correction.For possible vision and road map,pl visit  www.materialistspiritualist.org (especially article1)

Cannibalise the future by Paul Krugman appeared in the Business Line dated 14-04-2012(Originally from New York Times)

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/article3312457.ece

This is what happens when we consider ourselves as materialistic and mechanistic?There is no role for spirit/subjective?There is a need for commitment of the highest order to humanity,life and dharma(or commitment  to agreed principles) from the leadership.This article expresses the frustration and intellectual woes of some of the greatest thinkers of the Western world.Time for a paradigm shift in our thinking,faiths,beliefs,attitudes and behavior for achieving synergy,peace,harmony,justice and development.

Ravana to the fore as Bahujan students celebrate Ram Navami –TNN(Times of India dated 2-4-2012)

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Ravana-to-the-fore-as-Bahujan-students-celebrate-Ram-Navami/articleshow/12498173.cms

One can understand the anguish of the Bahujan intellectuals.This is the direction they should have started ages ago—to question the supremacy of the upper castes—more so the theoretical/spiritual  basis of such a stratification of the world of gods and hence to the human world?Again the Bahujan intellectuals are falling into the trap of getting into the same world—Aryan vs Dravidian  or  Deva vs Asura which are basically coined by Westerners and Brahmanical intellectuals.As said –Rama was an Aryan while Ravana was a dalit symbol?But Rama was a skhetriya thus Aryan(if Aryan theory is confirmed) and Ravana was a Brahmin according the the same source?Why do Bahujan intellectuals want to rely on sources where they have no ground?Again to deny spirit  or  a world other than materialism is fallacious and insufficient.There exists a spiritual world for believers and may exist for others?In an emerging new world order,one can go to the same source which pre-existed before all religions  and pray  for a direction.In this connection ,article3 –Twi-light of the Gods by Henry skolimowski in  www.materialistspiritualist.org may be useful   for creating alternate resource material through meditation,research and realization.Again instead of hating,all good and useful material should be taken from all sources particularly brahmanical sources which are vastly researched and realized  in an open ground  in the interest of SAKALA LOKA KALYANAM  /  PUBLIC GOOD.Such a system of thinking  should address cultural accountability on a long term sustainable basis.

Send  Army Chief on forced leave -Brajesh Mishra  (Times of India dated 2-04-2012)

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Send-Army-chief-on-forced-leave-Brajesh-Mishra/articleshow/12497639.cms

Dear Mr.Brajesh Mishra

We are appalled to read this article in the TOI.Your views in the TOI  That—General should be sent on forced leave—is very painful and unprofessional?Is this the reward for a man known for his professional excellance?In a country which is run on caste and convenience  considerations,it is difficult for people like you to understand the virtues of merit?Why do not you put the same questions to the political class—which is not answering the nation on scandals involving thousands of lakhs of crores of rupees?When questioned- they are shooting the whistle blowers?Elderly officers like you may have to answer  the activities of IAS officers associations-appearing in the press regarding their response to  arrests of their cadre involved in criminal cases citing issues of scape goats etc and nobody is answering/clarifying this to the nation?To common people like us,the Generals age issue,Generals comments on Rs.14 crores bribe and letter to the PM are important ,but not so important as there are  many pressing issues- we,the common people are facing?Any way they are known.Only press and some interested parties are sensationalizing the issues.You have mensioned –in all this episode,he(Gen Singh) has lost his mental balance?Sir, it is the common people who have lost mental balance appalled at the level of corruption,nepotism,favouritism,mis-management and mis-governance—unable to comprehend and vote the same people as there is no choice?

MPs up in arms against Team Anna by Vinay Kumar(The Hindu dated 27-03-2012)

http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/article3249289.ece

When there is institutional collusion(among all 4 pillars),parliament which is directly from the people –is supposed to be the final forum for bringing in corrective action.In a Parliament which has 165 MPs and 14 ministers with criminal/corruption records and substantial number of MPs/ministers with business/professional interests running into thousands/hundreds of crores of rupees,they become interestd parties.Can do they do justice to their job or Parliament which is supposed to be the holiest institution in India?Where will people  or civil society go  and complain for delivery of justice or addressing their grievences?In stead of shooting the whistle blower,it is in fitness of things if they address the issue professionally.Democratic institutions are important.But people’s issues/society is more important on whose behalf  and for whose sake  the constitution is created?For the respect of the institution,will you shoot the people ,because they are criticising/stating facts about the MPs/institution-as they are desperate about the problems?In  a system where-Ram(or those sitting in his chair) is a theif,where will people go for complaining?(Rama rajyam lo Ramudu donga-prajalu yevvariki cheppukovali-Telugu) Is there a solution?The churning has already started happening?Give it a path or road map for solutions in stead of shooting the whistle blowers?let us wait and see.An opinion pl.

Visit the following link on an  article in The Times of India dated 7-03-2012 on The Great Indian Dream:

World awaits the great Indian dream, says Kotler

Professor Kotler mensions about the great Indian dream.This may be culminating in the great world dream?He mensions about balancing between materialism and spiritualism and why India can offer a balanced view of life with materialism and spiritualism and show the world what good life is all about.

It is heartening to note that MATERIALIST SPIRITUALIST MISSION TRUST  was conceived  about two decades ago for  holistic view of life giving enough leverage for future with openness  and MSMT was registered as a public charitable trust  in 2003.It is run purely on the efforts  and contributions made by the founder  for  PUBLIC  GOOD  /  SAKALA LOKA KALYANAM.
