Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

The divine power of Almighty God was revealed in Jesus Christ’s resurrection to life.

On the third day following crucifixion, Lord Jesus appearance to life personified God’s miracle to the believers and the skeptics alike.

Easter Sunday is a celebration of Lord Jesus return to earth for reunion with his followers.

It is a joyous occasion for many seeking Lord Jesus love, grace and blessings.

Lord Jesus Christ is the radiant light representing the powerful truth in God’s Kingdom presiding over the universe creation and sustenance in a timeless as well as space less concept.

With the contemporary world in shambles, there is greater need for understanding and solidarity to promote peace, freedom and progress especially in the oppressed regions deprived of basic human rights.

The deficiency in empathy towards human suffering is attributed to preoccupation and prioritization of personal interests compounded with the survival of the fittest instinct prevalent in the present environment.

Compassion and selfless dedication to humanitarian cause was the moral essence of Jesus Christ message exemplified in action.

Lord Jesus perseverance in exercising God’s will to restore hope and bright future is a testament to mankind upon adherence to virtuous life.

On this Holy Day, Jesus Christ is remembered with reverence and gratitude for redemption.

Happy Easter and Peace to all.

Thank you.

Humanitarian Challenge

February 27, 2010

By Padmini Arhant

Recently there was a flurry of criticisms and admonishments for the article titled “His Holiness Dalai Lama in Spotlight,” and the earlier ones related to the,

“Iranian Theocracy cracking down on pro-democracy protestors and the inflammatory rhetoric against Israel.”

Alternatively, the Israeli authorities’ oppression of the Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank.

Likewise, social issues regarding human rights violation –

Self-interest and greed reflected in the globalization v. protectionism including,

The article on the racial attacks against the Indian students and other immigrants in Australia, scorned for the delivery and the condemnation of discriminatory practices.

Hence, it’s important to clarify the difficulties surrounding when addressing social injustice of this enormity.

Needless to emphasize that it’s much easier and less distressing to discuss non-controversial issues related to the economy, environment, travel, food, entertainment…etc.,

However, when the social injustice is concerned,

Whether it’s about the denial of equal rights to the gay community,

Women’s rights,

Burgeoning Health care crisis in the absence of a universal health care or a public option,

Students plight with the rising educational costs,

Growing economic disparity,

Or,

On a serious level – The invasion and occupation of foreign lands through wars,

Nuclear proliferation,

Slighting human rights over economic opportunities,

Double standards in the terrorism definition,

Ignoring environmental warnings…all of which draws immediate attention from the critics representing the specific agenda.

Prior to moving forward with the discussion, it’s necessary to accept the bestowed honor for being compared with the canines by the critics.

As an animal lover, particularly the canines, I consider the comparison – a true compliment.

The reason being, the canines are known for their unconditional love, loyalty and protective instincts towards their owners and the families. They are also well regarded for their intuitive nature.

Due to these extraordinary characteristics, the canines have earned the title as “Man’s best friend.”

Although, sometimes it’s worth posing the question if the man deserves a best friend in a canine.

Similarly, the attacks through innuendoes and nuances seen against the articles on atrocities that were presented with evidence, are intriguing.

Cynicisms vary such as the articles meeting the “critics standards” attributed to the guardian or the ‘Almighty’ out of fear as the case might be and phrased as the ‘Brisk walk.’

While, the so-called ‘inappropriate berating’ of the human misconduct selectively ascribed to the “off-leash” canine, apparently not accustomed to the ‘city lifestyle.’

It beckons the argument on whose side is, these city slickers as the “judges” and “critics” on, when the articles on the website are invariably factual and visuals supported, portraying the systemic degradation of humanity at every level.

If the presentation or the style is the issue, then it’s worth remembering that the art of diplomacy and sophistication is at its best in a dialogue with the virtuous free of vices and that being envy, ego, pride, prejudice and greed.

Moreover, the offenders condemned in these articles are no missionaries or monks in the monasteries.

Instead, they are individuals as well as powerful authorities deliberately and conscientiously engaged in killing and mass murder of their own population, specifically the oppressed minorities.

Economic opportunists causing immense agony and misery for humanity through deceitful and deceptive actions.

It appears that any one daring to highlight the inherent omission of fairness by the corporate owned networks and the political figures’ evasion of responsibility on vital national issues like health care, financial reform, environment are declared ‘reprehensible’ by their representatives.

The double standards in the first amendment act as found in the terrorism definition among the critics are attention worthy.

When the articles on this website raise genuine credibility issue against the major corporations and their political allies, not excluding the foreign governments’ human rights activities, the news outlets are instantaneously used by the mighty and the powerful to warn the legitimate substance or comment as “off-limit,” in a democracy.

On the other hand, the constant vilification of the “progressives,” the “liberals,” anyone defending righteousness and the most favorite of all,

The religion of Islam and its followers…by the Fox news presenters viz. Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly, not barring the radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh are,

Permitted as ‘free speech’ parlance with an exclusive right to trigger violence, hostility, anger and fear mongering.

Even if the extreme provocation leads to untoward incidents like the death of DR. George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas,

The green jobs advocate Van Jones’ resignation and,

Last but not the least, the recent anti-government groups promoted “terrorist attack” by Joe Stack against the IRS building in Austin, Texas.

Despite the track record, when the White House contemplated to exclude the Fox news in the press conference, the entire news media and the leading news organizations deemed such action as objectionable.

Only if the mainstream media like CNN, Fox News and others had placed the former administration under President George W. Bush and the Vice President Dick Cheney in spotlight with tough questions on the Iraq war, akin to the ones posed to His Holiness Dalai Lama, it could have led to a favorable status quo.

Humanity’s response to the Prophets / Messiahs, the Political leaders and the Peace activists thus far has been,

Lord Jesus Christ crucified.

Prophet Mohammad ( May peace be upon him) diminished in status as an alibi by the pretentious followers of Islam like the terrorist network Al Qaeda and others, Iranian Theocracy and the dictatorial powers in the Middle East.

The Holy Buddhist Temples in Afghanistan desecrated by the Taliban forces.

Holy Islamic sites under siege by the Israeli authorities in the disputed Hebron.

Hindu Temples attacked in Kashmir (Indian and Pakistani side) by the Pakistani fundamentalist terror groups.

President Abraham Lincoln assassinated for ending slavery.

President John F. Kennedy assassinated. President Kennedy was a vocal critic of the secret society and the military industrial complex.

Mahatma Gandhi assassinated for the peaceful effort to unite Hindus and Muslims.

DR. Martin Luther King assassinated for civil rights movement.

Egyptian President Anwar Sadat assassinated for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty.

Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin assassinated for the peace initiative and signing the Oslo Accords pertaining to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

On an optimistic note, the universal peace mission might have been successfully thwarted by the anti-peace factions for centuries,

Nevertheless, the reversal is imminent in the immediate future.

Thank you.

Holiday Celebration

December 26, 2008

The world celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ – Merry Christmas!

On this holy day of Christmas, the message of peace and love to humanity is important as war, economic crisis, environmental degradation, poverty, disease continues to dominate the world.

The Prophets, Messiahs as the sons of God descend upon earth for deliverance…

Whenever there is immense suffering, chaos, injustice, disorder and erosion of morality and virtues in the entire world.

These Prophets sacrifice for sins committed by others against humanity.

They earnestly teach their followers and opponents alike, the purpose and meaning of life.

Lord Jesus Christ, as a savior and true son of God demonstrated the virtues for mortals to follow.

The earthly beings praise and worship Lord Jesus,

However, many fail to pursue his teachings or follow his example.

The reason being, human attraction towards materialistic pleasures is often the hindrance between righteous and self-righteousness.

It is necessary to develop the skill to control will to overcome indulgence.

Although, impulse intrudes during maneuver, it is still possible to restrain the willful act of wrongdoing through inherited or acquired virtues.

Another aspect of discord in human nature is narcissism that inhibits the character like caring, compassion, sharing and giving.

A confluence of negative forces within a personality disables the function to expand beyond the realm of individualism.

Sadly, such behavior is the cause of miseries in human life.

All of the problems since evolution is due to lack of discipline in human conduct.

It is evident in the contemporary events experienced by the global community.

Scientifically and Spiritually proven that every action has equal and opposite reaction.

There are consequences to everything.

Also available are options to make appropriate decisions.

Despite this testimony, individuals on their own or collectively engage in activities in defiance of the laws of nature.

So, accordingly the results confirm the facts.

Life is a continuous learning process accompanied by mistakes along the way.

Mistake has a hidden truth overlooked in disobedience to conscience.

Opportunities arise for reflection and corrective action thereby testing the quality and quantity of values in possession.

Those with fortitude display humility in recognition and acknowledgement of one’s own errors,
especially if it involves the welfare of a mass population during events like war or economic crisis.

Absence of remorse or failure to accept responsibility reveals the state of denial and dogmatic stance.

Even worse, redemption for unlawful characteristics thus, invalidating the judicial system in any sovereign nation.

One might be exempt from the law and order within one’s own jurisdiction,

Nevertheless, it would be delusional to assume status quo with the entity delivering judgment on similar matter.

Considering the deteriorating world environment in all fronts, one has to pray and hope for the revival of moral and ethical standards with the emphasis on universal peace and love that would benefit humanity in general rather than a selective few.

With that note, I kindly request visitors and readers of this blog post to remember all those in need of help and please donate whatever is affordable to favorite charities particularly at this critical period of economic downturn.

Happy Holidays!

Thank you.
