THURSDAY MESSAGE, 17 TH SEPTEMBER 2009 (SERIES 175)
INDIAN LITERATURE:
Yajurveda has two major  recensions / branches  Sukla yajurveda ( which include Kaanwa samhita and  Maadhyandina samhita  each having 40 chapters  with minor variations only)  and Krishna yajurveda  having many recensions.  Sukla yajurveda has  only Veda mantra as  hymns in poetical style but in Krishna yajurveda both poem and prose  exist.   When all the recensions/ branches of yajurveda are put together, it is known as yajurveda vruksha  the total number will be  101  ( few say it is 108)  many of these  recensions are not available now / lost for ever.
Â
Following are the quotations   from Vishnu Dharma Saastra written 2500 years ago which were the basic principles/ rules /laws  or this country.
Rules and violation  connected with contract jobs
154. If a contract work has not been completed within the specified time and  the contractor leaves, the contractor should give the loss to the owner and 155. 100 pana fine to the government. 156. If the  workers of the contractor  damages the property of the owner, the contactor / worker should give the equivalent amount   157.  If , due to ignorance or health problem, the damage or  loss occurred  for the owner the above rule is not applicable. 158.  If the  worker  is not given the work till the specified period, the  owner is expected to  give the salary for the  remaining period also.  159.   The owner should  remit  100 pana as fine too for not employing for the sufficient  period, after promising.  160. If the whole things happen due to the misbehavior or fault of the worker, none of the above rule is applicable.
Punishment for grabbing government land
168.  Those who  are grabbing the government property , or the property given by the king for charitable work, should be sentenced to deport from the country 169. Those who are violating the rules  connected with protecting the government property should also be given the same punishment.  170. If the national property or the public property are  damaged  the same punishment should be given  171.  If deposited or security materials are stolen, the cost of the materials/ the deposit with interest should be calculated as penalty 172.  Even if the rules connected with the deposits/ banking are not followed and the deposit is given based on the mutual trust, these rules are applicable.
173. If the boundary wall or the fences are  damaged, the fine with reconstruction cost should be levied from the   person.  174. Those give poisonous drinks, or spoiled food items  should also be treated as above. 175. Sales of any poisonous drinks, or foods,  and burglary of the houses or temples,  also call for the same penalty with higher  intensity.
Punishment for insulting government workers
176.  If the high positioned government employees or workers are ill treated  by the public severe punishment should be given. 177. If medium officers  were ill treated medium punishment should be given.  178. If carelessly behaves towards the government servants minor  punishment should be given. 179. If given as donation or sold , it is like sold for ever and one cannot argue for getting them back and if by force grabbed back, it is a punishable crime by law.
SERIOUS INFORMATION
Let us do our level best to popularize  Sanaathana  dharma   through all popular means. Most painful experience is that Hindu dharma is  targeted  by other religion  for conversion using all the crooked  pathways.
WHAT I HEARD AND SAW
I saw in Australia   hundreds of people are working with full devotion and  dedication  for our dharma. But the unfortunate  observation is that  none to give the scientific message on our dharma.  Lack of jnaana sakti  is the limitations.
THIS WEEK MESSAGE
Let  each one of us with full devotion, dedication, love and affection MARKET our Sanaathana dharma  using all the modern techniques.
A LINE OF GUIDANCE
Let 90%  of the  Indians just try to know what the scientific   Hindu / Sanaathana  dharma is.  Let 7 % go deeper  and  let 3 % become thorough in learning and teaching Hindu dharma  with a scientific spirit.
PAINFUL HISTORY OF INDIA
Conversion is going on everywhere in the far east countries particularly focusing the Hindus  and the prime center of the conversions activity  is  THE KERALA CHRISTIANS ( they convert others  even by violating the rules of those countries)
SCIENTIFIC SUPERSTITION
Meditation is not merely sitting and breathing  . it is a level  which should be attained by a series and serious training.  Abhyaaasa vairaaghybhyaam thannirodha. Through detachment and continuous  training only one can reach the   level of meditation. Sa tu deergha kaala nairantharya satkaaraa seivitaa  dhrudda bhoomi  which is the  abhyaasa .
A LINE ON ACHARA
Chant a mantra  and listen  mantra for  ten mins  which will  take  your mind to a highly positive altitude
YOUR QUESTIONS AND MY ANSWERS
Why you talk and write    against the (former) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S R Reddy ?  The only one chief minister in India  did ( as he expired I use the past tense)  everything to convert Andhra Pradesh to full Christian state bluntly in day light  violating all the   foundations of Indian culture and  secularism. I am  against his activities and not against him. He has Christianized the  whole Tirumala temple too.
