Jewish Holiday – Happy Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur 2015

September 16, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Rosh Hashanah – The Jewish New Year emphasis on celebration and serious introspection is a clarion call for positive development.

The Jewish tradition – Rosh Hashanah followed by Yom Kippur recognized as High Holidays with 10 days in between two events known as Ten Days of Repentance is an interesting and relevant theme.

Yom Kippur significance providing opportunity for Repentance from the beginning to end of the holiday to reflect and reform besides peace with others could be utilized to bring unnecessary conflicts and prolonged crises to conclusion.

The importance of festivals is adherence to message exemplified throughout life accepting humility with genuine commitment for greater good rather than self interest.

Israel’s cooperation on Palestinian statehood with acknowledgment for every citizen’s birth right to be free and exercise political rights in their homeland would confirm the orthodox sect and Israeli authorities respect for Judaism and religious philosophy.

The best way to honor faith is to demonstrate principles in action.

Never too late to renounce negative trend and mend ways for peaceful resolution.

Happy Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Global Status Quo – Crimes Against Humanity

September 15, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Marking 9/11 anniversary, I published the article on terrorism – the global issue haunting humanity.

The militarily superior and nuclear armed America was attacked on political, intelligence and military establishment watch.

The world was led to believe that dilapidated terror network al Qaeda suddenly incapacitated the nation poised as Superpower.

The terror attack on American soil became the premise for protagonists, catalysts and colluders to invade nations and implement pre-conceptualized Project for New American Century.

They proceeded towards their mission and even declared accomplished in the face of counterproductive adventure.

They launched military intervention in Afghanistan in October 2001. The fourteen years old Afghanistan war continues until now and become the permanent military base to dominate Central Asia.  Pakistan remains terror haven with military aid at U.S. taxpayers expense.

Meanwhile the extravagant imperial goals in Afghanistan and across the globe costing United States taxpayers trillions of dollars leaving over 50 million families on food stamps, war veterans homeless and significant number unemployed in the country.

The architects and administration were barely involved bombing Afghanistan, yet another nation on the target – Iraq was invaded under false pretext claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction only to be proved otherwise. 

The WMD in reality was weapons of mass deception.

In 2009 and 2010 – the U.S. troops were increased in Afghanistan.  Although the troop withdrawal from Iraq was stated as conclusion of occupation, the ground situation confirmed troops presence with military activity.

Furthermore, the troops withdrawn from Iraq were redeployed in Afghanistan and beefed up in the Middle East rather than returning home.

In 2011 – the Arab Spring that began in Tunisia spread to Egypt resulting in the overthrow of western and Saudi Arabia backed dictatorial regimes generating hope for the oppressed population in the Middle East.

These events were capitalized to expedite PNAC objectives and spearheaded in Libya and Syria.

The world was once again misled with deceptive authorization of no fly zone in Libya for western air raids and subsequently Libya was destabilized to serve as weapons warehouse channeling delivery to western sponsored terror networks in Syria.

Syrian war with terror infiltration – funded, trained and provided logistic and military hardware until now.

United States, EU and middle east allies rejected successive peace accord on Syria to end four years old conflict.

Currently, Yemen is under relentless shelling by Saudi Arabia on United States and Israel’s purview not barring U.S. supplied cluster munitions to Saudi Arabia in onslaught on Yemen.

In Eastern Europe, EU and United States organized anti-government right wing political unrest produced massive chaos with hardline government installed leaving the nation in turmoil in eastern region and Crimea union with Russian Federation.

South East Asia – The democratically elected government in Thailand was forcibly removed from power on baseless allegations and substituted with military junta reviving political repression.

Latin America –  Democratically elected governments were toppled in Honduras, Paraguay with ongoing efforts against Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia to name a few in the region. 

The Caribbean nation Haiti denied request to reinstate exiled popular leader Jean Bertrand Aristide to power.

Africa – The continent militarized with West and Central Africa recolonized under the guise of security against western and ally’s armed rebel factions in Mali, Central Africa and South Sudan.  The strategy promotes perpetual disasters.

Asia Pacific – United States and South Korea military drills escalate tensions alongside building coalition in the staged confrontation with China driving exponential increase in defense budget among ASEAN nations essentially boosting defense industry interests in the military industrial complex.

The outcome from these events is millions of lives killed and several millions displaced with generational impact notwithstanding refugees upsurge creating humanitarian catastrophe for Europe. 

The deliberate destruction and damages inflicted on scores of inhabitants not to mention the economic setbacks from political crises brought upon in sabotage of democracy declining hegemony control witnessed in above mentioned territories worldwide.

Accordingly, in the article published on this site titled – United States – 9/11 Anniversary 2015, those actually responsible for 9/11 and wars waged against selected nations in PNAC including protracted aggression in the above cited regions deemed guilty for crimes against humanity.

Considering subversion of justice and institutionalized criminality with political impunity, the entities behind heinous crimes evade accountability.

However, I reiterate that final judgment with consequences are indisputable and cannot be challenged delivering justice to victims to restore dharma (principles in adherence of fairness and righteousness).  The segment will be elaborated in the upcoming topic.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Imperialism – Anti Humanity Doctrine

September 13, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Colonialism survival predominantly dependent on hierarchy and polarization in society with duplicity in policy not to mention adopting any means to sustain unsustainable parasitic tradition.

Colonial strategy is subversion of religion sanctity and civilization heritage.

British Raj during overt reign in India created Rashtriya Sevak Sangh (RSS) in 1930 promoted as Hindu fundamentalists when in reality the organization and political parties pledged allegiance to colonial power until today.

RSS creation is imperialists affront to Hindu religion and Hindu philosophy committed to secularism. At the other end of the spectrum are factions in British partitioned Pakistan opposed to constructive process with India.

Similarly, British colonial power produced Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt projected as Islamic fundamentalists while aiding and abetting the rise of Muslim Brotherhood behind the scenes to serve colonial agenda.

Not surprisingly Muslim Brotherhood refrained from participation in Egypt uprising against Western ally – the dictatorial regime of ex-President Hosni Mubabarak in Tehrir Square, Cairo in 2011.

Furthermore, the so-called first democratic election in Egypt following the western partner Mubarak government ouster in 2011 fielded western candidate Mohammad Morsi representing none other than Muslim Brotherhood.

The dichotomy in imperialists pretense to generate impression of western aversion for fundamentalism with legacy fostering extremism using religion and communal divide expose true identity.

The contrived position extended through RSS in India essentially subscribes to subordination and marginalization prevalent in Indian caste system.

The imperialist response via RSS to the article published on this site titled India – Good Governance Upon Clean Governance calling for abolition of antiquated caste structure in Indian society beckons attention.

RSS chief – interestingly named Bhagwat in the backdrop of goddess Durga banner referring to Indian caste classification as Indian family system proclaimed the degenerative practice – Akshunn interpreted as unbroken and Takat (power) of Hindu Samaj (society).

In fact, the society crafted caste pyramid is proved Apshakun i.e. bad omen and  b weakness not power derailing social progress notwithstanding contradiction in India’s status as thriving secular democracy.

A real functioning democracy would exemplify equality and respect human values determined by deed not creed. 

The archaic caste custodians cherish discriminatory practice voiding eligibility to be part of human race for the term human is derived from HUMANE – the  salient characteristic for Homo sapiens in Mammalia.

Again India’s caste orientation always ranks first among other problems in western criticism about India revealing imperialists hypocritical overture.

The caste denomination is farcical conflicting with the current trend in every other individual’s claim as almighty God. 

Above all the superiority asserted on caste based criteria bowing to cannibal sponsors is the irony.

 

RSS and Muslim League / Brotherhood are two sides of the coin to serve imperial cause – disparage religions relevantly Hinduism and Islam respectively besides establishment of proxy governance.

Imperialism favored dynasty and despotism alternated in politics denying sovereignty and republic rule.

Imperialism contemporary involvement sponsoring terrorism recruit vulnerable and credulous youth branded as jihadists to destabilize nations in the Middle East and North Africa.

Likewise, Central and South Asia notably Afghanistan and Pakistan declared failed states with terror manifestation strengthened through arms supply and military aid.

ISIL evolution into ISIS having emerged from imperial power designed al Qaeda is a classic symptom of ailing supremacy to prolong decadence.

The imperialist destructive goals verifiable in Afghanistan’s Helmand province depriving Afghan farmers from food agriculture such as wheat, maize, mung beans, nuts and produce…forced into poppy cultivation from western capital and profits shared by Taliban – supposedly the enemy combatant fighting against United States and NATO for the last fourteen years in the U.S. taxpayers funded warfare.

Imperialists anti humanity doctrine targets religion, social, political, economic and environment development in the self-effacing stratagem.

The counterproductive course best abandoned since actions have repercussions without exception.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Transparency and Accountability

September 10, 2015

By Padmini Arhant 

Indian political establishment ensconced in fair share of corruption scandals at national and regional level amongst ruling and opposition alike can no longer circumvent transparency and accountability.

What is relevant in transparency and accountability?

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee release of files related to Sharada scam for public scrutiny is critical rather than executing vilayathi (firangi) masters’ orders on Netaji life.

Netaji the honorable patriot and gem amongst freedom fighters refusal to bow to tyranny epitomize courage and integrity – a rare quality in contemporary politics.  Accordingly, India’s admirable son immortalized in Indian history.

Unfortunately, the great souls sacrifice pledging their life for the country now squandered with reversal of action amongst political class nationwide.

The nation is under siege with foreign exerted authority in proxy governance fostering corruption culture.

The public wealth from various scandals beginning with Bofor, 2G spectrum, CWG, Coalgate to Vyapam Scam, Lalit Modi Saga and shielding entities involving money laundering in INEX Media connected with much publicized homicide case is national overview implicating members in the ruling and oppositions combined until now.

Not to mention the regional states political factions and governments in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu to name a few implicated in series of scams, disproportionate assets and black money stashed away in foreign accounts enabling offshore criminal syndicate profiteering while millions in India are left naked, homeless and forced into abject poverty.

Transparency and accountability is required in the political class surrender of assets setting precedence for the rest to follow in the country.

The funds recovery from political circle and allied sources due to Indian treasury would adequately provide for economic growth improving several million lives in every part of the country.

The procrastination in this context tantamount defiance in compliance of the law applicable on ordinary citizens in the nation.

Criminality in governance imposing law and order in society not only a credibility factor but also delegitimizes such functionary to serve the state and the nation.

As for the shadow power remote orchestration – when the foundation is flawed, the apparent structural fragility contributes to imminent collapse.

The enactments on international issues with collusion amongst performers in quid pro quo is illusive and self defeating in the pursuit to prolong unsustainable status.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Good Governance Possible Upon Clean Governance

By Padmini Arhant

The tradition preventing progress in investigations on money laundering involving firms and political members in high profile homicide case leading to exposure of individuals in politics and companies impedes transparency and accountability.

The political trend stifling process at critical juncture when closing in on key sources behind criminal activities confirms status quo.

Governments intervention with typical actions in transfer or removal of head of the team conducting probe maintaining integrity and diligence expected in civil service proliferates corruption – the major impediment in country’s development.

The civil service – Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and Criminal Bureau of Investigation (CBI) cadre routine experience is dispatch to remote locations or forced to accept lack luster positions upon demonstrating honesty and application of law regardless of stature especially politics, economic sector and entertainment industry – entities treated above law in society premised on prominence exerting influence.

Corruption rampant in political establishment due to self granted impunity and judiciary conforming to politics diktat rather than adherence to judicial law and constitutional framework is yet another challenge for the nation in purging graft laden system.

The acquittal and exonerations of those in politics, economic and entertainment segments despite evidence and corruption legacy is a travesty of justice promoting subversion of law.

The laws only meant for mainstream population – the vulnerable and economically disadvantaged in particular emanating from unaffordability to comply with bribery demand.

Indian treasury at the central and state level depleted hurting ordinary citizens across the spectrum with complicity in prohibiting black money recovery and tax evasions held in Swiss bank accounts, Singapore hawala and offshore tax havens primarily amongst political members in the ruling and opposition alike.

The plethora of corruption scandals during Congress led UPA term I and II with continuity in the incumbent BJP, RSS and NDA government not to mention regional political factions viz. AIADMK, DMK and fragments in Tamil Nadu, the alliance in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh entrenched in Vyapam scam and Sharada Scam tied to TMC in West Bengal …is tip of the iceberg in corruption tsunami.

The political class alliance and extraordinary favors dubbed as humanitarian call to founder and IPL chief associated with country’s most wanted underworld cartel in nefarious financial dealings subscribe to paradoxical stances while both remain fugitives defying moral arc of justice.

Criminal background and series of violations among political office bearers is hardly a concern including deliberate misrepresentation and contradictory disclosure on credentials in sworn affidavit during elections misleading electorate – the conduct ordinarily deemed perjury punishable by law instead rewarded with cabinet post mocking democracy.

The political assertion in crackdown on black money exempt self and core members deflecting civic attention from them in artful maneuver.

The political tactic linking religion and divine connotations besides contemporary practice imputing failures and negativities to targeted opponent whilst being gratuitous – hogging undue credits from the respective entity hard work and good deeds clarifies opportunism ad nauseam.

Imitation of positive attributes interpreted as flattery.  However, the gesture without acknowledgment of origin is forgery.

The innuendoes depicting discriminatory indulgence is a futile exercise and explanations in this context are farcical.

The unabated custom using caste and communalism for political mileage delineates those following antiquated hierarchy from human race.

Human being innate quality is to be humane transcending man made barriers with refrainment from societal prejudice. The resistance to acceptance and equality is civilization decline.

Condescendence and marginalization of others is reflective of internal decay. The overture on backward class is nothing more than mindset backwardness prompting insolence.  

Polarization through indoctrination is political strategy inherited from dominant forces much to sponsors and catalysts detriment.

As for anyone restricting access to worshippers in temples on caste or religion bias is essentially isolating themselves from divine grace.

The pure spirit with sincere devotion and relevantly selfless actions to humanity attains God’s blessings with or without affiliation to faith.

Temples are common premise and not personal property.  Such orientation is ignorance at best and pejorative at worst in religious concept.

In fact, God is realized within upon freedom from ego, envy, greed and hatred…the vices undermining reasoning faculty.

Furthermore, Lord Murugan aka Shanmugam or Karthik’s consort Valli is from gypsy tribe secluded in society as untouchables and backward sect.

Lord Murugan – the son of God Shiva and Shakti revered as Tamil and Hindu deity marriage to daughter from gypsy clan establish relations with not only Shiv Parivar (God Shiva’s Family) but also Lord Vishnu – Ranganathan as Murugan’s uncle.

The religious rituals and prayers for Lord Murugan i.e. Velavan with Valli is performed as eliminating Valli would be rejecting Lord Murugan and everyone related to Shiva and Shakti’s son.

This is indeed a dilemma for those upholding caste and creed as determining factor for superiority.

The society reluctance to abolish caste and segregation of God’s children being reality, the ostentatious religious rites and ceremony allude to commercial activity notwithstanding disingenuous pious disposition.

Human value evaluated on character and sacrifice to uplift lives for pervasive benefit facilitating proximity to God.

The veneration of God lacking in fairness, egalitarianism, love and respect towards all is redundant and fulfilled for self-satisfaction.

On the issue of Swach Bharatrelieving the nation from corruption and political manipulation of justice would clear pathway for holistic approach.

The initiative beginning with Parliament members implicated on corruption charges and their overt as well as covert connections to unscrupulous elements brought to public scrutiny in national domain would provide credibility.

Clean environment made possible with corruption free governance and political representation.

After all household trash disposed on to main street contributing to unhealthy and life threatening conditions cannot be contained in the absence of effective measures to efface unnatural cause.

Swach Bharat would be meaningful with swach sarkaar (clean governance) comprising political power in the ruling and opposition defining political identity.

Tamil Nadu AIADMK government irresponsible course in massive  intoxication of citizens with statewide liquor shops and state authorized violence against peaceful dissent to alcohol booths resulting in deaths and ruining families is culpable inflicting deliberate harm and suicides among citizenry. The government intentional damage is a criminal act with misuse of authority and disqualify the functionary as reliable administration to safeguard people interest.

The classic signs of proxy governance throughout India pledged allegiance to dissipating supremacy are political jargons – hindutva, backward caste, dalit, DR. Ambedkar, ‘rebel’ Subash Chandra Bose not barring the accused in criminal matter.

These are desperate times seeking disasters expediting inevitable conclusion of Dark Age.

India’s liberation from the corrupt and destructive external control with internal operatives committing treason significant to curtail indefinite suppression.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Environment – Challenges and Solutions

September 5, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

PadminiArhant.com Recognition of Environment issue for Vishwa Kalyaan (VK) Award 2015. 

There are far too many challenges with few steps against climate change.

The procrastination on climate treaty with effective policy from major contributors of pollution is a serious threat to humanity.

Any positive development requires collective actions for air and water are the two main elements enabling life on planet.

The blue sky and ocean are no longer clear with smoke clouds from carbon emission and repeat incidents of oil spills, subterranean nuclear testing, missile programs to strengthen nuclear capability inflicting massive damages to life and livelihoods in coastal areas and all around beyond recovery.

The global warming leading to ozone depletion in atmosphere affecting seasons and melting glaciers causing sea level to rise endangering marine lives with species becoming rare and extinct not to mention the ultimate impact on ecological balance.

Natural disasters cannot be assessed as natural and triggered by environment neglect and abuse ranging from off shore and shallow water drilling including hydro fracking for oil to mountain top removal in coal mining and other fossil fuel related excavations and explorations proved destructive.

The pursuits attributed to growing energy demand also tied to profitability like in coal mining industry with political members’ direct involvements as stakeholders raking huge financial gains ignore environment woes and options for renewal energy in particular.

Although there are many environment groups and organizations tirelessly engaged in containing industrial and political combined anti-environment undertakings, the greed motivated strategy continues unabated with little or no concern for apparent environment degradation.

The powerful energy sector – fossil fuel and nuclear industry despite catastrophic events viz. Fukushima prioritize political and economic opportunity at environment and population expense.

There is no doubt that energy is essential to fuel economy and maintain machine age.  However, the investments in natural sources like sun, wind and water that are in abundance somehow not appealing stifling alternative energy supply emergence.

In contrary procurement of fossil fuel especially oil desirable expending taxpayer funds in invasion and occupation of nations rich in oil and mineral resources leaving further economic, environment, political and social problems in the destinations.

The military interventions whether conventional or sponsoring terrorism to destabilize nations and regions with constant use of arsenals and explosives laden cluster munitions dropped in Yemen right now substituting land mines are devastating to victims – mostly children and other civilians in the war zone.

Wars around the world with overt and disguised use of nuclear components augment environment deterioration.

The trend funding political campaigns for vested interests form governments to suit donors’ agenda via legislations and disregard consequences exacerbating economy and environment.

Solutions to energy needs are divestments in alternative energyclean energy like solar, wind and hydropower projects suitable to vast majority of developed and developing nations in terms of affordability and minimum to zero maintenance in operation for end user.

The current dilemma to meet emerging economies energy demand could be addressed in promoting reduction in energy consumption with more awareness on the issue.

Small approach often eases the situation resulting in economic prudence.

The replacement of existing incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient light emitting diodes (LED) lights is incremental pace towards conservation.  

The household appliances such as refrigerators, washer and dryer…and electronic devices conforming to low power absorption and high in performance would allow energy saving.  The consumer responsibility in adjusting usage and smart exercise equally important to decrease energy wastage.

Another critical measure is to broaden and modernize public transportation like buses, metros and subways for convenient access.

The campaign urging commuters to avail these facilities providing low fares as incentives would attract large numbers boosting revenue.

Traffic congestion and weak environment standards like absence of mandatory smog control in emerging economies is a health hazard with ripple effects on economy deterring tourism and business venture.

Recycling is an age old practice in developing nations serving as survival means for demography in impoverished and lower economic strata. The mechanism to operate recycling plant and waste management is yet to be fully developed and deployed for maximum benefit.

Water scarcity and distribution is ongoing global crisis. The harvesting and irrigation techniques in agriculture reaching farmers in near and remote areas is key to self-sufficiency and satisfying hunger.

In urban and rural areas –  water storage during monsoon and reutilization of water with investments in purification would minimize water shortage.

The wealthy states in the Middle East diversion from aiding terrorism to constructive projects like desalination would transform arid desert lands for cultivation.

Preserving rain forests and reefs in ocean beds from commercial activities is paramount for life linked with natural food pyramid.

Ordinarily planting trees and expanding greenery oxygenate surroundings in the nature designed conversion of carbon dioxide.

Summarizing on environment matter – setting targets on carbon emission and compliance on environment regulations in addition to departure from fossil fuel with commitment to natural energy – solar, wind and water sourced power is the gateway to free the world from oil dependency.

The nuclear energy evidently not always meant for civilian programs and deviation from the objective towards nuclear weapons status is the reason behind contemporary nuclear proliferation.

Again unless there is complete and comprehensive nuclear disarmament beginning with P5+1 and other nuclear states – the environment and biodiversitys face imminent risks with preference for confrontation over peaceful resolutions escalating global tensions and volatility.

Arriving at consensus on climate accord is incumbent on industrialized and emerging economies to release the burden on developing and island nations experiencing enormous losses due to extreme weather conditions and lack of technology as well as logistic support.

The environment awardees names for 2015 Vishwa Kalyaan (VK) Award i.e. Universal Benefit Award will be published subsequent to official declaration on recipients of Health category award.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

PadminiArhant.com – Recognition & Honor 2015

Part I.  Recipients and Project Synopsis

Dear Citizens,

In the contemporary era power and prominence are patented and claimed as exclusive league entitlements barring others in the hall of fame notwithstanding patent rights set expiry date. The competitiveness attributed to narcissism forbid formidable talents in the international arena.

The current trend is perhaps due to lingering insecurity and obsession with dominance despite termination of all things including inanimate objects imminent in natural law.

However, there are people world over performing altruistic tasks for years and remain active in delivering desirable outcome.

Natural creation has seasons for a reason.  The perennial state of fall (autumn) or winter prohibiting spring and summer not viable for ecological harmony with serious impact on life all around.

The necessity for change more appropriate with anything that is destructive and deny new beginning and opportunity to all.

On August 26th, I made a public statement regarding recognition of issues and significant contributions to humanity especially by unsung individuals and organizations for inspiring and inculcating innovative ideas and peaceful strategies towards positive development.

Accordingly, I present the finalists for their outstanding service exemplifying selfless dedication and sincere commitment to save lives transforming hope into reality.

The award is titled Vishwa Kalyaan or Universal Benefit Award and recipients are chosen based on results in the respective endeavor.

The focus is on unsung contributors pledging lifetime devotion to forgotten and in some cases deserted citizens as well as neglected species on the planet. The honor will be conferred upon suitable entity on August 26th every year.

Unlike conventional awards with specific cash prize, Vishwa Kalyaan or  Universal Benefit Award provides necessary support through campaign and advocacy on global platform seeking donors and benefactors in achieving targeted goals enabling all to be winners – the people they are serving in particular in the collective responsibility.

The selected individuals and organizations also require volunteers with relevant expertise and mostly genuine concern expressed in kindness towards beneficiaries of extraordinary mission.

Since the concept was introduced this year i.e. 2015, the names are revealed right now with environment topic and groups accorded for the coveted accolade in that category to follow this week and made official on the weekend of September 5th, 2015 Lord Krishna’s birth celebration.

In the meantime, the generous global citizens across the spectrum are urged to come forward and donate any amounts to splendid cause and be a part of solution to problems facing humanity.

The issues recognized this year are – Health and Environment.

The article on Health and Health related challenges was published on this site on August 27, 2015.

Health is critical for survival and overall wellness determined by physical, mental and emotional balance in life. Health is linked with environment and healthy atmosphere i.e. fresh air, clean water and hygiene facilitates good living conditions free from preventable disease.

Another essential source for existence is nutritious food. Organic produce without chemicals and meat excluding growth hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMO) or cooking oil with zero trans fat are quintessential in daily diet.

In this segment – I begin with Health and General Well Being and subsequently ending with environment in the week.

With great admiration and gratitude for every one of these caring members – I, Padmini Arhant representative divine mission, author and presenter PadminiArhant.com would like to thank them for exemplary work in humanitarian struggle.

I invite you on virtual tour in this presentation. You do not need passports, visa, travelers check and even better no selective frisking or profiling under the guise of security on this exciting trip.

Virtual travel to the Foothills of Himalayas viz. Nepal and Tibet.

Both nations are yet to experience political freedom and stability with Maoists infiltration in Nepal and China’s invasion and occupation of Tibet since 1959.

Universal Health Care is considered a privilege rather than basic rights in developed and developing nations worldwide with rare exceptions as the model.

The health care availability is a rarity in rural and urban areas in most countries not to mention the inhabitants plight in remote valleys and mountainous parts of the world exacerbated with lack of medical aid and health center.

This is where, Nomads Clinic has set precedence in travelling to the areas in dire need of medical attention. The team with free spirited volunteers consisting doctors, surgeons and medical students’ convergence visiting Nepal and Tibet for personalized health diagnosis is beyond local population expectation.

Arun was abandoned when he was five days old baby and found by an elderly woman on the street and his life began in an orphanage. The life at mercy homes housing several children under one roof condition them to reconcile terms with fate and no option to take anything for granted prevalent in domestic settings.

Arun had to leave orphanage home after graduating from high school.  He spent a week under open sky and worked at the coffee shop.  Arun’s passion for classical music (vocal and instrument – drum) led him to enroll in music college and now he runs music institute apart from offering free lessons to children from impoverished background with musical talent.

Since Youth Helping Hands inception, Arun has persevered to alleviate orphan children pain and difficulties with distribution of essentials – clothing, school supplies and medicine in addition to teaching and training kids by honing inherent skills preparing them for better future.

Arun celebrates main Hindu festival Diwali presenting new gifts and items to all children in the entire city of Coimbatore made possible with civic magnanimity. There are 65 orphanages with 3500 children who regard the 28 years old Arun and his young family as loving parents.

Youth Helping Hands (YHH) vision is to fill the family void for orphans and pursue elimination of orphan status with children growing up in normal household.

You may please visit www.youthhelpinghands.org for further information.

On the social dilemma of children becoming orphans in dysfunctional family scenario – promoting awareness on parental responsibility, family planning and society empathy not apathy towards children burdened with adults’ erroneous actions pertinent in the increasingly self-centered system.

I conclude with the urgent requisite in addressing the cause and not the symptoms alone on all issues confronting humanity.

The upcoming highlight is environment and awardees list for Vishwa Kalyaan or Universal Benefit Award.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Rakshabandhan (Rakhi) Festival

August 29, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Greetings and felicitations to citizens observing the important social event – Rakhi.

Rakshabandhan epitomizes family value with focus on brother sister relation not only in family but also in society.

Rakshabandhan is a special occasion with a reminder to brother to safeguard sister’s honor and reciprocation from sister to support and cherish family bonding in male female relationship.

Gender equality allowing male and female in diverse roles in life is natural.  The parental responsibility to be shared between father and mother and siblings caring for each other contributes to unity and happiness.

The festival is also an opportunity to revive rich cultural traditions that are meaningful and positive in maintaining human character that is unfortunately in decline with alarming incidents of rape regardless of age.

Human weakness to lust lacking in self control fostered with judicial outcome favoring rapists and decisions condemning rape victims in itself indicative of social and moral degradation. The social and political circle influence due to own indulgence exacerbates victims’ plight. 

Women as opposite gender is primarily a mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, aunt and a good friend besides being a wife to a man in life.  

In the  modernization fervor portrayal of women as objects of voyeurism and general perception with sexual connotation provide basis for rape, molestation and sexual assaults against women. Again those involved in such violations have fundamental problems in personal traits reflecting on upbringing and inherent deficiency in adjusting to acceptable norms in society.

Furthermore, the escalation in repeat offense against women emanates from the absence of strict laws punishing the offenders rather than condescendence towards femininity. 

Notwithstanding violence resulting in deaths of those coming forward to rescue women from eve teasers and mobs engaged in sexual harassment.

Society’s progress is evaluated on treatment of all beings with respect and dignity barring any prejudice.  

Unless the milestone in this context is reached, the material achievements are ethereal and unsustainable.

Education, awareness and public debates are necessary to curb misogyny restoring equal status. 

Best Wises on Rakhi to brothers and sisters following the Indian custom.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Padmini Arhant
