Intersting Conversation

My buddy Viju and me had this conversation till Late night 3 yesterday..

Vijay: hehe
1:34 AM brahmins need not be vegetarians le..
its not what they eat.. its wat they do
me: haan.. thats true
Vijay: Brahmins adhere to the principles of Brahmanism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmanism] or Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism], such as acceptance of the Vedas [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas] with reverence, adherence to the position that the means or ways to salvation and realization of the ultimate truth are diverse, that God [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God] is one, but has innumerable names and forms to chant and worship due to our varied perceptions, cultures and languages. Brahmins believe in Sarvejanāssukhinobhavaṃtu — Let the entire society be happy and prosperous and Vasudhaika kuṭuṃbakaṃ — the whole world is one family. Many Brahmins are reformers. Most Brahmins today practice vegetarianism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism] or lacto-vegetarianism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacto-vegetarianism]. There are some Brahmins who are non-vegetarians, mainly the Brahmins of cold mountain areas like Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Nepal, and coastal areas like Bengal, who are fish eaters. However, even the meat eating Brahmins shun beef in India although some American and Western Brahmins eat beef.
1:35 AM me: but .. there is a belief that..
Vijay: basically related tp knowledgeable people.. ..
me: thoughts and behaviour is attributed to food
Vijay: who believe in God.. teachers.. etc..
me: saatvik thoughts attributed to saatvik aahar
1:36 AM and tamasik thoughts to tamasik aahar
thats 1 main reason why brahmins are veggies
Vijay: ade.. may be its a modern belief..
or may be not..
1:37 AM but it has not been mentioned anywhere as a rule, that they shud not eat non-veg..
me: hmm.. well.. mainly.. there is a belief that .. the concept of vegetarianism came from jainism
1:38 AM Vijay: but its common sense that, they wudnt be eating non-veg since that wud contradict their knowledge..
and their duties and other beliefs..
it may be an unwritten rule.. but no compulsion
1:39 AM me: the vedic tradition.. began to collapse.. and jainism buddhism were rising
some believe that the concept of vegetarianism was borrowed from jainism
to make vedic tradition stronger
at that poin
of time
1:42 AM Vijay: hmm..
mythological history serta ide nange..
1:43 AM me: hmm......
Vijay: i wish i had heard/seen more stories
me: the pandavas kauravas were all aryan tribes
1:44 AM which existed during the iron age
mahajanapada period
but i shud see mahabharat le
Vijay: nod le.. chanag madidare.. naan nodidde tv nalli..
1:45 AM but now u will understand it better..
me: yahh
Vijay: i have a few questions though..
me: like
?
1:46 AM Vijay: well.. not specific questions.. jus vague questions..
me: like
?
Vijay: like what was the whole purpose of it..
it seemed setup..
me: purpose of?
Vijay: right from the birth of bhishma...
1:47 AM purpose of mahabharata
atleast thats how its been portrayed in the series..
i know the purpose..
but it seemed pretty setup..
1:48 AM and things like.. if krishna is the supreme god.. why did he let the war happen in the first place.. i can say why.. but again i'm not very sure of it...
1:49 AM me: hmmm.. well from mythological point of view. it was to show.. "yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati" and also "karma yoga"
Vijay: ade..
may to say that.. truth always wins..
1:50 AM god is always on truth's side..
me: from the literary point of view.. it was just another classical work.. which was written and collaborated over a period of time...
Vijay: ya..
and anyone, eventhough he is truthful, if he supports evil, will not succeed..
1:51 AM me: hmmm..
there is a basic qsn there le...
if god has an influence on that..
then y have evil in the first place
1:52 AM Vijay: god is nothing but ultimate truth..
its not a person who controls anything..
1:53 AM i mean everything on earth
no.. i don know wat i mean
hold onn..
me: yahh.. but wat is that ultimate truth
y?
1:54 AM Vijay: ok.. wat i wanted to say is..
evil is adharma..
God has no control on people who does adharma..
me: does god have control on dharmic ppl?
1:55 AM Vijay: no..
see.. this leads to the question of what is god
me: hmm.. wats ur thought
on it
Vijay: god is everything around us..
1:56 AM when we say god supports dharma.. it probably means dharma has support from all sides..
and evil is supported by only evil
me: and wat abt these various forms that ppl have arnd them.. like vishnu, shiva, ganesha?
Vijay: its different names given to different characters ashte le..
1:57 AM god includes everything.. sun moon water earth knowledge power death
me: hmm.. there is a perception that god is attributeless rt
nirguna brahma
Vijay: its just that each of these has been given names..
1:58 AM wat attributes ?
me: god doesnt have any attributes.. or gunas
like us
Vijay: u mean a form ?
me: no no.. nature..
Vijay: hands legs.. like that
1:59 AM me: u r a "cool" guy..
cool is an attribute of urs
Vijay: hehe.. hange..
me: hmmm
2:00 AM actually god is energy
Vijay: again
me: dont u think so?
Vijay: god has all attributes..
and to classify.. u have different god-names portraying different attributes
2:01 AM like kamadev, love attribute
me: how can god have all attributes and also remain attributeless
?
Vijay: i am sure there's a god for anger.. shive himself i guess
why do say he is attributeless ?
2:02 AM me: well.. upanishad.. quote madta idde ashte
Vijay: upanishad bidle..
wat do u think
me: well.. my belief is we worship a physical entity that we studied as "energy" as god
2:03 AM surya, agni, vayu
Vijay: what abt knowledge..
ganesha..
2:04 AM me: hmmm.. we have to go into the details for this. on how actually ganesha and others started being worshipped... these neo gods werent a part of vedic culture
they came into the society thru puranas
2:05 AM wat the hindu belief on god is
can only be understood by studying and understanding the
brahma sutra;s
rest is either stories or rituals.. and stuff like that
2:06 AM the philosophical connotation
is brahma sutra and commentaries
on it
Vijay: hmm..
i got this question now..
imagine u were in the vedic age..
or even much before that..
just a normal nomadic..
2:07 AM what do u think god wud be.. at that time
simply put, why did ppl start believing in gods
if i were there..
2:08 AM i wud see the sun.. i dont know wat that is but it rises in the morning sets in the evening.. gives light which is extremely important...
i wud start thinking its something supernatural..
2:09 AM similarly for water, air, trees earth..
me: thats pagan rt :)
is hinduism pagan religion?
Vijay: things which you dont know what they are.. but they are there for your survival..
2:10 AM and u feel that it is superior to you..
i dont know that..
see.. even though now we know wat is sun, air, water etc..
we still dont know what the universe is.. where it ends.. wats on the other side of it..
2:11 AM and probably thats why ppl still believe there is something superior to us..
if we discover wats on the other side of the universe scientifically.. then i wud say ppl wud stop believing in god..
2:12 AM does that make any sense at all.. ?
me: hmm.. that does.. but this mayb true in the v early vedic period...
but.. later.. these great rushis
2:13 AM agstya, badarayana,
etc etc...
were gr8 philosphers of that time
they gave a direction
to their ppl
2:14 AM when society got organized, even the rulers consulted them rt.. and these were the 1s who were a part of writing the vedas, interpreting them.. and stuff
2:15 AM somehow i still feel vedas are nothing but rituals.. although i havent studied
i feel the upanishads are most important
Vijay: i dont know wat they are..
:P
bidu.. bejan blade aitu ivattige..
2:16 AM me: :P
its good u know
Vijay: but it was pretty good
me: discussion leads to knowledge
and since u r advaita..
u shud believe in "gnana yoga"
Vijay: i dont know if i am advaita..
by birth i am..
2:17 AM me: i am supposed to be the 1 who believes in bhakti yoga
Vijay: but i dont what by beliefs are..
my*
does this discussion say anything about which philosophy i belong to ?
2:18 AM me: hmm.. u belong to dvaita
:P
mostly
2:19 AM Vijay: hmm.. i dont know.. but i wanted to be on advaita's side.. eventhough i dont know wat it is.. :)
anyway.. probably we can write our own philosophy.. :D
me: u believe this world is real rt...
Vijay: wat do mean ?
2:20 AM me: advaita doesnt believe the world is real..
Vijay: oh mean like matrix movie na?
me: yahh
Vijay: howda!?
advaita andre ada?
me: yahh.. advaita andre mayavaada...
Vijay: i think u r lying to take me in your party
2:21 AM me: mayavadin antare
Vijay: hmm eno..
i have an idea for you..
why dont u post this conv in your blog..
2:22 AM me: hehe.. i will..
Vijay: sumne copy paste..
no edits
me: okk...
Vijay: from the point where i said, brahmins need not be vegetarians..
me: okk
2:23 AM btw, hinduism has 6 school of thoughts le..
ninge gottitta?
Vijay: illa
me: samkhya, yoga, nyaya, vaisheshika, mimaamsa and vedanta...
Vijay: matha gaLa
2:24 AM me: among... vedanta.. there are 3 main... dvaita, advaita, vishishtadvaita
5 minutes
2:29 AM Vijay: le.. my conv indicates i'm advaita only alva..
no wait...
2:30 AM me: hmm.. where? u said u believe that ppl started worshipping god.. bcoz.. they believed it was the source of their activities
2:31 AM Vijay: is said they started worshiping the sources which provide these resources like sun water etc.. but i dint say that this source has a form..
2:32 AM me: hmm.. well.. the thing is.. dvaita is not abt form..
Vijay: hmm.. yes.. i guess i believe in dvaita.. as of now..
me: the v fact that u believe that god, ppl and things are different from each other.. is dvaita...
2:33 AM Vijay: hmm..
me: read this
Vijay: ishte saakalva ivattige ?
me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja_Yoga
yahh.. saaku

Vijay: question to think abt ante..

me: assignment aa?
:D
Vijay: hoon... :D
hahah
see.. this is being a brahmin..
me: gnana yoga.. :P
Vijay: so now u have a conclusion for the conversation..
2:35 AM i guess this is the point i was inherently trying to make.. :)
me: i am quite satisfied with bhakti yoga.. :P .. zyada tension nahi dimag ka :P
2:36 AM well.. abt the sould
soul
its a v abstract term le paa..
Vijay: hmm..
ad irli
sometime back.. internship mado vaaga..
i had this thought..
me: but i wud put it this way...
2:37 AM Vijay: if there is god.. how wud we look like to Him
me: wat are u actually composed of???
chemical substances rt
u r nothing but hydrocarbons...
2:38 AM Vijay: ade.. but u dont know how they all exactly work together...
so in a way.. wat u dont know, or have not discovered yet scientifically is god..
2:39 AM me: jeeva - jada = aatma ?
Vijay: wats jada ?
2:40 AM me: thing
Vijay: u mean.. life - body = aatma

Bugging me :( :(

I am so bugged. Writing this post from office. From 4 days I have been trying to deploy my Matlab application on another system. This is the sad turn of events :(.

1. The "deploytool" of Matlab compiler which was working, suddenly stopped working.
2. Called up Mathworks support and somehow got the issue fixed by changing some system environment variable.
3. Then the application built properly.
4. Next, I tried to deploy it on another system and it bombed at that system.
5. Tried to execute that application on my system. Started getting "Java Out of Memory Error"
6. Called up Mathworks to get their help. They suggested some code changes and i implemented the same. Before I could test the application, I got locked out of Matlab Database Toolbox.
7. It took a while to get a license to access the database toolbox.
8. Then while I could start testing, my Computer monitor blew. :-(
9. Got that fixed.
10. Tested my application and found that still wasn't working.
11. Changed the JDBC driver to the latest available. Still aint working

Java exception occurred:

So true :-)

A physician, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world. The physician remarked, "Weil, in the Bible, it says that God created Eve from a rib taken out of Adam. This clearly required surgery, and so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession in the world." The civil engineer interrupted, and said, "But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor, you are wrong: mine is the oldest profession in the world." The computer scientist leaned back in her chair, smiled, and then said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"

Life, Hope, faith..........

Who can forget one of the most wonderful aphorisms to have been shown on the celluloid, from the movie Shawshank Redemption. "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and good things never die". I hear people talking about never losing hope in life and believing in "Whatever happens happens for the best?" .

"Dont worry, God has the best things in store for you". "Be courageous and look forward to the future, be optimistic". Aren't these supportive caring words from near and dear ones words necessary whenever things are not looking up. Don't they instill in you a lost confidence, a lost trust.

Optimism, faith, hope, God all being convoluted and intertwined concepts sometimes beyond comprehension.

The labyrinths of human nature has always intrigued me. When things are down, our emotions go through a cycle. First we feel disappointed and depressed. In this phase there is a feeling of hopelessness.Then after a while we feel angry - angry over destiny and faith. We blame God, we look for reasons, we blame whoever is responsible. Human ego never lets us blame ourselves. Then we solicit help. We try to talk to the close ones, share our anxieties and concerns. After some time we again become optimistic and start looking forward to a brighter future. Maybe this is the reason why they say "Time is the best healer". The sore times and how we react under such circumstances stand testimony to our conviction and inner strength.

Sometimes I wonder, "aren't faith, hope and optimism just a bait to push us forward in performing our actions. Is it always necessary to get the best in life? Is it true that temporary set backs are a part of a larger radiant picture of life that God has in store for us? What is pessimism, what is optimism? Doesn't optimism lead to future pessimism, if things don't work out? If not then is human hope and faith eternal? Does God exist? If yes, how much of a control does God have on anybody's life?. Is there a dependency between our actions and results? Who is affecting our actions and who is affecting our results? If God controls our actions and actions cause results, what is our purpose in the scheme of things?. What should be our take on life?".

Probably these questions might be complex enough to not have specific answers. Maybe they might be the questions that man has been trying to answer since ancient civilizations.

It is in this context that quotes from the Geeta like
"Karmanye Vadhikarasthe, Ma Phaleshu Kadachana", concepts like an unwavering, steady mind - the trait and character of a "sthitapragna", make them essentially the crux of its teachings.

"When a person gives up all the desires in his thoughtful state and when his inner self is satisfied within itself, at that time he is said to be a 'sthithapragna' ( a master in the stability of mind)"

"Undisturbed amidst three fold miseries, immobile in happiness, free from attraction, fear and anger, is called a sage of stable mind."

"Who is everywhere without affection, who does not praise or loathe auspicious or inauspicious events, his mind is stabilized."

"The knower of Brahman, stable of mind, established in the Supreme Brahman, shows no sign of rejoice when he achieves the objects of his desire nor agitation when unpleasant things happen to him."

"Unattached to external sense objects, immersed in himself, he remains blissful. Establishing his self in Brahman, such a Brahma yogi enjoys unlimited happiness."

Are these verses only for the spiritual yogis? Can a common man achieve a state of uncluttered mind?

Our efforts should be aimed at realizing a simple fact that both Good and Bad things do happen in life. And that there is only a limited relationship between efforts and results. Hence the Gita calls out for "desireless actions". We should at least make an effort in trying to perform actions without having hope and consequences as our prime objective. Ain't that difficult. Yes it is!

To add, One of my favorite Kishore da songs

Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Rungroop
Thode Ghum Hain, Thodi Khushiyan
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Chaon Dhoop
Yeh Jeevan Hai...
Yeh Na Socho Isme Apni Haar Hai Ke Jeet Hai
Ise Apna Lo Jo Bhi Jeevan Ki Reet Hai
Yeh Zid Chodo, Bandhan Yuh Na Todo
Har Pal Ek Darpan Hai
Yeh Jeevan Hai...


Lastly, I would like to quote my favorite teacher TNS' discussion on this topic. "Life is a Sine Wave Kanree. At Pi/2 we are happy, At 3pi/2 we are sad. But realize that after 3pi/2 we have a 5pi/2. When you reach 5pi/2 don't become complacent kanree because 7pi/2 is approaching!". - More than Maths, I owe to this teaching of yours Sir.

Tenets of Terror

26 bomb blasts in 2 days. Around 20 bombs found in Surat. Political parties at war over a sensitive issue. Media condemning BJP for making a hue and cry and calling out for political unity during such a period of crisis. Every time a blast happens, the same pattern of reaction is seen.

Opposition party in India is called as the "Watchdog of Indian democracy". It is a great responsibility on their part to constructively criticize the government and support on issues of national interest. Sadly, Sushma Swaraj publicly accused the center of having carried out the blasts.

CNN - IBN's face the nations topic of the day was "Has Modi become a matured leader?"
Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan's answer was - "Why should we give credit to him? He has done his job as a CM!" . Yes madam you are very right! Only people to be credited in this country are the Gandhi family, the italian lady, her children, her grandchildren, great grand children and so on.

So to sum it up, Opposition party never leaves an opportunity to blemish the ruling party and center never wants to give credit to a state govt if it belongs to the opposition party. When can we see maturity among Indian politicians :( :(.

Yes, the country at this time needs strict terror laws. agencies need to be empowered so that anti - national elements could be caught and prosecuted on a fast track. Along with better intelligence infrastructure, we definitely need laws like POTA. How can a govt protect us, if it cannot decide whether to punish a person convicted by the supreme court in Parliament attack case? Gujarat and Rajasthan's anti terror laws have been pending approval by the parliament, where as Maharashtra's MACOCA was approved and is in place. why the step motherly treatment to states ruled by opposition party?

Terror, today is as equally in grown as it is being supported from outside. Gone are the days when we could straight away point fingers at our neighbouring countries. There is an equal amount of dirt in our own country. It is now time to act fast and act right.

Will the national parties take cognizance of the seriousness of the issue and work with consensus?

Thanks Internet!

I couldnt believe my eyes, when I met my childhood friend on Orkut 2 days back. My dad works in SBI. We used to get transferred all over Karnataka. Thats the saddest part of working in a public sector company. Friendships made are always temporary. Every time we had a transfer, I had a heart break. Every time I had to leave my friends, watch all of them stay together in the same place and see myself being separated from them. It is my nature that I get too attached to my friends over a period of time. I have always tried to be in touch with my old friends as much as possible. But eventually, distance and time got the better of me.


My native is Bijapur/Bagalkot in North Karnataka. We got transferred from Bijapur to a small town called Sindgi. I was just 3 yrs old then. My earliest friends were 2 girls - Preeti, Amrutha and a boy called Gopal. I remember them because we 4 of us would always play with girls' dolls and I would come out crying to my parents that I wanted a doll similar to theirs (I still get bantered by my cousins and relatives for this :P!!).

From there we moved to a city called Gulbarga. I joined school there. It was there that I met Chetan Joshi, Sangamnath Kulkarni and Shrinivas Kulkarni. We were just 6 yrs old and went to Christ Convene Convent school. Back then only, I used to roam around the city with these 3 guys(Of course within our limitations!). We used to play with marbles, fight horribly, make up after a while, go out on ice cream treats! Our "beedi - sutting" (roaming around streets!) activities had taken a toll and all 4 of us had flunked some test in 1st Std (As far as i remember it was General knowledge test! :P). All of us got punished badly both at school and home.It was great fun back then.

My acquaintance with them was just to last for 2 yrs. So after finishing my 1st and 2nd Std in Gulbarga, my family moved to Bangalore. Even though, I was just 8 yrs old and dint have much knowledge of the world I had the sense of staying in touch with the ppl I had the most fun with. Chetan was always my best friend. Almost inseparable. Today I really feel it to be unbelievable that we both wrote letters to each other till we were in 9th std. 2yrs of childhood friendship and 6 yrs of writing letters! But after a while, I dont know what happened, but we lost touch. I guess some of the letters that I wrote dint reach him. Finally i gave up and continued my life with my new friends in Mysore. (By 9th Std, I had moved out of Bangalore after my primary school to a high school in Mysore.).

2 days back I met all my 3 childhood friends on Orkut. I felt really happy to get back to them. Internet is really a powerful medium. I can now proudly say that I am in touch with majority of my friends that I had since I was 6yrs old. My Gulbarga friends, Bangalore Primary school friends, Mysore friends, Bangalore Engg College friends, Philips friends and of course I am currently with my Minnesota friends!

Hope soon I will find my doll friends too :-).

I also was quite surprised when last semester I saw a very unexpected mail in my mailbox. My 3rd Std class teacher had found my mail Id and mailed me. I did not at all expect any teacher for that matter to mail me. But to find the mail of a very special teacher made my day. She had sweetly addressed me as "Hi Professor, Do you remember me?" (She called me a professor because I was absent minded since those days only!). What a miracle , I thought!.

Sometimes stray incidents like these make you so happy that life feels so good to be true.


Thanks Internet!

Antha Roopasi Nanna Preyasii!!!!!!!!!

I always look forward to masterpieces from the renowned trio of Sonu Nigam - Mano Murthy and Jayanth Kaykini. It is a coincidence that just in my previous post I was singing praises of them. I was browsing kannadaaudio.com for any of their new works. The 3 stalwarts have become well established in the Kannada Industry churning hits after hits now.

And the latest in line that's driving me crazy is the song - "Maatinalli HeLalarenu" from the new movie "Bombaat". As always the music is haunting, Sonu's voice soothing and lyrics just out of the world.

"Maatinalli HeLalareno Rekheyalli Geechalarenu
Aadaranuu haaDadene Uliyalarenu
Antha Roopasi nanna Preyasi
Elli IruvaLo Nanna Kayisi
Naanu Prema Rogi dayamaadi vaasi madabeDi
Antha Roopasi nanna Preyasi
Omme avaLige nanna torisi

KannaLide aaa Kannalide
HombeLikina nava neeLanjana
innelide aha innelide
Hoo Manasina aa madhugunjana

Bere enuu kaanalare yaara naa dooralare
saaku innu Doorvannu taaLalarenu
Nanna Kanasinalli dayamaadi paalu keLabeDi

Antha Roopasi nanna preyasi
omme avaLige nanna torisi

Nageyallide aa bageyallide
bage hariyada aa avalokana
naDeyallide aa nuDiyallide
tale kedisuva aa amantraNa

Kanasiganta Chandavagi ALisadantha gandhavagi
modalabaari kaNda kshanave bandhiyaadenu
hode naanu kaLidu dayamaaDi patte maadabeDi

Antha Roopasi nanna preyasi omme avaLige nanna torisi..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How deep and wonderful are these words! None other than Jayanth Kaykini could pen such a beautiful poem.

Here's my attempt at translating the lyrics for my non Kannada friends.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot describe her with words, I cannot sketch her with lines
But I cannot stay away from singing about her
So beautiful is she,my love. Where is she? making me wait.

I have become sick in her love. Please dont cure me.
So beautiful is she, my love. Please show her once to me..

Its in her eyes, yes its in her very own eyes,
new lamps full of twilight.
Where else can there be, where else can there be
Buzzing of a bee apart from her flower like - heart.

I cannot see anything else, I cannot complain about anything else.
I have had enough of this separation from her.
Please dont ask for a share from my dreams about her.

So beautiful is she, my love. Please show her once to me..

Its in her smile, Its in her ways
An insight of mine which never is solved.
Its in her walk, Its in her words
An invitation which makes me go crazy.

It became more beautiful than a dream, It became an indelible sandal - mark
My captivation towards her when I saw her first.

I have become lost in her. Please dont find me.

So beautiful is she, my love. Please show her once to me..
