Comment on Reflections on Rajiv Malhotra’s Being Different by praksy

thank you very much for the review.
Indeed Rajiv ji has done a great job.
I truly admire his vast knowledge.
In today’s greed environment we are running towards west but keep getting away from our own identity and our contribution to the rest of world.
But the role of Christian Missionaries in India have become so strong that they are doing best to tore apart our culture.
Today no school teaches the lessons of life and moral to our children.
I was lucky that I atleast got the basic knowledge of Sanskrit in my early school days.
Today’s children are being taught to become greedy, jealousy, competition, dis respect towards elder.
I have even protested against one Christian school but they have made their position so strong that we need rise and protest against this missionaries.
Sorry If I have gone too far but this is what I’ve seen in Reality.

Regards,
Praks.

Don’t forget! The Hindus have made the most important contribution to Science and Math — we have given the world the number system including zero!!!! Dharma rules!

Right on.
Who wants to listen to such dum heads.
How can any religion accept them a preachers or teacher. He is living in a fools praradise.
If people are going to hell let him lead the line.

We should not be surprised to read about End Times. It reveals the fragile order of things in Nature. Man’s existence is transient and Indian tradition compares it to that of an air bubble on the surface of Lotus leaf. The Lotus leaf supports the bubble and at the same time is not attached to the bubble as the leaf’s surface is water repellant. Man’s knows about the nature of his conditioned existence which ceases if it is unsupported. Man tries his best to cling to the forces or conditions that support his existence and discovers that he has no intrinsic power to cling to any natural mechanism that sustains his living functions. The desire to exist is like any other desire and Gautama Buddha had stated that desire is the root cause of ‘Dukha’ or sorrow. Man can find joy only when there is emptiness; when all desires are emptied from his mind. The state of ‘Nothingness’ or ‘Sunyata’ is the state of Consciousness which is aware of its existence in a given environment but is not conditioned by another mental desire. Nagarjuna had named it as ‘pure consciousness’and he had excluded ‘Nirvana’ from his thoughts and desires. Modern man is no exception to the problem of experiencing anxiety related to End Times.He has known about dead stars, dying stars, exploding stars, and he knows about massive collisions that can lead to extinction of life. The fact of knowing does not give man any ability to control the event. Man knows about planet Earth’s Linear Speed and Angular Speed and exists only and if only he does not experience the reality. If reality cannot support existence, man helplessly looks for the hope provided by Ultimate Reality. It is not irrational or illogical to expect Doomsday. It is not a fanatical proposition.
