Uttishth Bhārat

The Thinker  : A bronze statue of a man sitting on a rock and thinking is one of the finest sculptures ever produced. With 'The Thinker' as the central point, Films Division in 1981 released this short film for small children. Many of us might have seen this. It is requested to go through this film before proceeding with the post.  ________________________________ So, this is the saga of a child, a simple and innocent child. He thrives on earth since time immemorial, in a way he is eternal. He is learning from the smallest of small happenings on the planet. He observes the stars and is fascinated by the changing phases of Moon. He infact walks through many dimensions. Somewhere he builts a raft and crosses the Nile. He is an Austrian and also enjoys the freshness of the Himalayas, he navigates through the Atlantic and lives in the Steppes. This is the tale of that child. When the child was yet not born, as his peers presume, an unicellular organism, perhaps a bacter

"A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice, but as yet unstained.” ____________________________________  It is difficult to precisely point out but whenever it might have happened, that our egocentrism might have receded thus expanding our range of thought from 'I' and 'Me', and we would have started actively interacting with the surrounding environment, we all might have had all sorts of aims, goals and purposes. They might have been as silly as procuring a chocolate or as serious as reforming the world, isn't it? The same goal with some polishing has evolved itself into Today to land us into Tomorrow.  Once upon a time even I had some crazy ideas swirling in my head. And one day I came across this line - "Avaghāchi Samsār Sukhāchā Karín, Ānande Bharīn Teenhi Lok" meaning "I hereby resolve to make this world a better place to live in, leaving all the three fields totally blissed out."

" Finding of the Self by the Self in the Self..O Almighty Man. " ------------------------------------------------------------ In the last conversation, we had discussed about what this platform deals with, what would be the approach methodology, an attempt to concretise the central theme of the Blog was also made. It was also distinctly underlined that this is a forum where, through healthy discussions we would look at various spheres which have shaped and are shaping our lives actively. Putting a step in that direction here comes this episode as an extension to the previous post and a link to the upcoming one. At the same time, it should also be noted that these discussions are not, and hence should not become Universal Truths. It is possible that we might be heading in a wrong direction, isn' it? Untill and unless we don't detach ourselves completely from the desire of a solution we can never truly understand the problem and without understanding the problem no solu

 " The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself. " --------------------------------------------------- Namaskar, Uttishth Bhārat is an effort to explore and look back onto the journey of this Creation, transformations and evolutions Humanity has gone through and is constantly going. It is an initiative to investigate and critically enquire into the major as well as minor junctions we have gone through and in the way take a glance at our own Legacy so formed. But, naturally a question arises - if the theme of the Study is the Journey of this existence as a whole, why consider only ' Bhārat ' as the very title of the Blog. Therefore let us be very clear before we commence with anything else, what is exactly meant by ' Bhārat ' ? The word Bhārat comprises of two Dhatus:- ' Bhā ' and ' Ratah '...literally meaning a chariot progressing towards Jyotih ( Bhā ) or Bright Light. Often it is (rather is) misunderstood as a name
