SPIRITUAL TALK

Human Unity in Diversity Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj any noble-hearted souls have been calling for human unity.

This trend has gained in momentum over the last few decades. Yet, despite the popular growth in movements for unity, we still find conflict and discord in the world. Speeches and conferences are motivated by high ideals. They inspire the participants to turn their attention to the goal of oneness. But unity comes about only at the personal level, when each one experiences it for one's self.

When we merge in God and see the Light of God in every being, we have truly realized unity. It then becomes easy for us to love all, because we see our own self in each being. If we truly wish to achieve human oneness, we must first experience it ourselves.

Just imagine what a beautiful world we would have if every person saw God's Light in every other form of creation!

There would be an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. Gentleness would flow from our lips. Tenderness would exude from our actions. Sweetness would pour from our eyes. All who came within our ambit would feel serenity and joy. If anyone has been lucky enough to have spent some time in the company of great spiritual teachers, he or she would have felt a tremendous love and peace in their company. Any time we go to spiritual adepts with a troubled heart, we feel that our pain has been relieved and our burdens lifted. They speak to us lovingly, they embrace us affectionately, and they care for us from the depths of their heart and soul. The world and its troubles disappear when we are in their presence. We feel as if we are living in moments of eternity.

Time stands still, and our difficulties vanish.

The world was meant to be a garden of Eden and a haven of bliss. To attain such a paradise on earth, each of us has to make a contribution.

Peace and unity begin within each one of us. We cannot expect others to radiate harmony and oneness if we ourselves are not prepared to see their fruition in our own lives. Each of us must do his or her own small part to bring about the fulfillment of this noble dream. We can attain this condition by the process of meditation that leads to self-knowledge and God-realization.

When we begin to have love for all, a transformation occurs within us. Our whole behavior towards others changes. We become nonviolent in all our dealings. We begin to have understanding and compassion towards the idiosyncrasies and habits of others. We stop criticizing people in our minds. First, we realize that they are bound by the shrouds of ignorance and illusion of this world. We know that deep within them is the soul, a part of God, that it is only their mind and their state of spiritual ignorance that causes them to behave the way they do. Secondly we are so steeped in God's love and the bliss which permeates us that we do not want to be distracted from that rapturous state by petty thoughts of others. We are so far removed from the trifles that people become involved in that we do not recognize them. Criticizing others in our thoughts only pulls us away from the state of happiness that union with God brings. Since our thoughts

M

will be filled with divine love of God, our words will become sweet and loving. We will not say anything unkind to anyone. People who come within our sphere will find only words love and kindness. Even if some short word escapes our lips accidentally, we will feel the pain we cause someone else and will immediately apologize and set the relationship right. We will become sensitive to the hearts of others and will wish them no harm. Finally, we will never do anything to physically harm anyone. We will not become violent with anyone. We will even have regard for the life of animals. This is why people who are serious about treading the path God-wards become vegetarian.

They do not wish to take the life of any other creature, because they see God's Light shining within all creation.

When this unity is attained, the divisions that separate human beings from one another will fall away. Whether we pray in a temple or a mosque, we will all realize that each person, irrespective of the religion into which he or she was born, is praying to one God. We will recognize that God is one, whether he is called God, Allah, Jehovah, Wahiguru, Parmatma, the Oversoul, the creative power of the universe, or any other name. We will see unity in the diversity of life. It will not matter to us whether someone is Hindu or Muslim, Sikh or Jain, Christian or Jewish, Buddhist or Parsi. We will recognize God's Light in each being, whether their outer skin is black, white, or tan. We will know that God resides in every person, whether born in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, North America, or South America. We will realize that the same Light of God is in each of them. We will appreciate the differences caused by tradition and cultures, but realize there is a unity in all living beings.

Through meditation, we can transform ourselves into ambassadors of God's love and Light on earth. There are many goals which people work towards in life. But the highest aim to which we can devote ourselves is human unity. The path towards unity begins with each of us.

As Sant Darshan Singh prayed in another verse: May the bond of brotherhood knit us all together, And may the entire universe be at peace under your protective wings.

PEOPLE AND UN n JULY 2018

NITED STATES President Donald Trump has renewed his threat to impose tariffs on an extra $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, or nearly half of what the United States imported last year from China. The levies could take effect as early as September. Trump has slammed “bad deals” with China, Mexico, Canada, the European Union and Japan, among other nations. However Beijing officials seemed less inclined to send a message to the United States. “Our summit is not directed at any third country,” Premier Li Keqiang has said. But Beijing lodged a WTO complaint against the United States in response to 10 percent tariffs on Washington’s week-old list of Chinese imports, which hit consumer products such as televisions, bed sheets and air conditioners. China and the European Union has denounced “protectionism and unilateralism.” The trade war between the United States and China officially launched July 6, when Trump slapped duties on $34 million worth of mostly industrial Chinese goods, and Beijing responded by posting tariffs on an equal amount of American imports. Trump has said he wants to narrow America’s $376 billion trade deficit with China and has accused the country of stealing U.S. business secrets.

There is a possibility that a diminished US-China trade engagement could have positive results for countries such as Brazil and India from a trade perspective, at least in the short run If the trade war intensify. In case of soybean, for instance, one of the key items in the list, there could be a cascading impact in terms of openings for India to enter other markets, according to the Soybean Processors Association of India. The bulk of China’s annual soybean import of around 100 million tons is for domestic consumption; the rest is used in the manufacture of soybean oil and meal for export. If the levy hits China’s import, exports could be dented, a space that India could potentially fill to meet the demands from other countries.

But in the long term, a full-fledged trade war is bad news. It invariably leads to a higher inflationary and low growth scenario. Inflation is generally good for assets such as gold, while having a negative impact on currency and some sectors in the equity market.

European Council President Donald Tusk has called upon the United States and China to mend their commercial relationship and avoid a trade war that could drag on for years. “There is still time to prevent conflict and chaos,” said Donald Tusk, at a summit between China and the European Union.

It is better everyone should sit together to discuss how to defuse it before it turns ugly.

COVER STORY Soul of India Is Pluralism, Tolerance:

Pranab Mukherjee P. M. PARVATIYAR WITH SURESH SRIVASTAVA

n

ODAY I came here to pay my respect and homage to a great son of mother India” wrote Ex-President Dr. Pranab Mukherjee at the visitor’s book at Dr. K.B. Hedgewar memorial, before delivering his formal speech at the RSS headquarter in Nagpur. That no doubt speaks in volumes about the Rashtriya Swyam Sangh and its ideology as Dr. Hedgewar was the founding father of this 92 years old National Patriotic Organization.

Speaking on the role of RSS in Indian society its Chief Dr. Mohan Bhagwat has said that his organization works for the welfare of all the citizens of the country irrespective of any religion, sect, caste or creed and shall continue to do so. He also mentioned about the strength the country has derived from its “unity among diversity”, elucidating the good work done by

T

the RSS and its supporters whenever needed by the country without any political consideration as it believes in Nation first and above all i.e. Nationalism.

Former Indian President Pranab Mukherjee delivering his ever first address to RSS new trainees said “we derive our strength from tolerance. We accept and respect our pluralism... Any attempt at defining our nationhood in terms of dogmas and identities of religion, region, hatred and intolerance will only lead to dilution of our national identity."

According to Dr. Manmohan Vaidya, RSS, ‘Sah Sarkaryavaha’ and a senior functionaries of the organization “The speech of both Pranab babu and Mohan Bhagwat made glorious references to the 5,000 years of civilization of Bharat, its pluralism, the existence of

differences and a vision to treat the world as a family” (i.e. Vasudev – Kutumbakam). “Sangh always speaks of pluralism. Our pluralism has space for the intolerant as well. But the intolerants never tolerate pluralism … We have the ability to understand when people are speaking of the same thing in different ways,” added Mr. Vaidya.

However one is appalled to read the comment by a section of media that “whatever Ex-President, Pranab Mukherjee was to say; RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat poured cold water on it in advance.”

One has every right to express his / her views frankly and fearlessly. Freedom of expression is the soul of our democratic value. But the beauty of this value is adorable as long it remains in the parameter of its limit .As soon as one transgress its boundary it loses its respect and value and attracts frustration and disgust.

Unfortunately in this case the aforesaid comment and that from a section of media cannot be swallowed in a good taste. It is unfortunate that the image of a towering personality not other than Pranab Mukherjee former Rashtrapati of the country whose intellect is acclaimed and recognized

PEOPLE AND UN n JULY 2018

round the globe has been belittled with such a silly (malicious) comment.

There are many ways to differ without tarding any body’s image and for that one need to take proper lesson in journalistic world.

We welcome the illuminating and thought provoking words of former President Pranab Babu and RSS chief Dr. Mohan Bhagwat. We hope their inspiring message of ‘Unity among diversity” and our ancient dictum “Vasudev Kutumbkam” will be well acknowledged by the people of the country and abroad. n The views expressed are personal

The ensuing Workshop saw active participation by an interesting gathering of participants.

This included His Excellency Mr Alexey Idamkin, Consul General of the Russian Federation, His Excellency Mr Eaknarayan Aryal, Consul General of Nepal, His Excellency Mr Ma Zhanwu, Consul General of China, and His Excellency Mr Shi Lijun, Vice Consul of the Consulate General of China.

BHARAT’s FOOTPRINT ON GENEVA CONVENTIONS LET ME SHARE AN INCIDENT THAT INFLUENCED ME TO WRITE THE ARTICLE. I WENT TO GENEVA ON MISSION KNOWLEDGE PROGRAM OF IFUNA AND VISITED ICRC (INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS).

MENTIONED BELOW IS THE SUCCINCT VERSION OF ICRC HISTORY AND ARTICLES.

n Dr Arjit Walia HARATVARSHA’ or present day ‘Bharat’ as we proudly name it, the lineage goes back to 5000 years. But our culture, our knowledge, our valour, our intellect, our history, our character is not recognised world over. Even our epics which talks about all these are debated in public arena. This article is in response to those who doubt our lineage and it’s a chance of introspection for us (Indian’s) as well.

Let me share an incident that influenced me to write the article. I went to Geneva on Mission Knowledge program of IFUNA and visited ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross).

Mentioned below is the succinct version of ICRC history and Articles.

B

BRIEF ABOUT GENEVA CONVENTIONS, AMENDMENTS AND ARTICLES. In 1859, businessman from Geneva Henry Dunant travelled to northern Italy, where he witnessed the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino and wrote a first -hand account in 1862 called A Memory of Solferino and proposed a solution:

n

The Geneva Convention was a series of international diplomatic meetings that produced a number of agreements, in particular the Humanitarian Law of Armed Conflicts, a group of international laws for the humane treatment of wounded or captured military personnel, medical personnel and non-military civilians during war or armed conflicts. The agreements originated in 1864 and were significantly updated in 1949 after World War II.

16

PEOPLE AND UN n JULY 2018

All nations come together to create trained, volunteer relief groups to treat battlefield wounded, and offer humanitarian assistance to those affected by war.

In 1864, 12 nations signed treaty as First Geneva Convention. In later years the committee broadened its horizon by adding more suitable clauses for humanitarian protection and to add more countries with it. The 1906 convention replaced First Geneva Convention; in 1929 it was updated to give civilized treatment to POW and further. Again in 1949 it was amended to protect Non Civilians. In 1977 Protocol I & II are added to increase its purview for limiting the usage of mass destruction weapons, to protect natural environment etc.

Though there are many articles, but I am mentioning the broad guidelines laid out for mankind and nature, during war in these conventions. These are not preferably in the orders as they are adopted:a) To protect wounded and sick soldiers, medical personnel, their facilities and civilians b) Hospital ships, civilians who accompany the armed forces, or who spontaneously takes up arms to repel an invasion, journalists. c) Treatment for prisoners of war (POW). It laid out rules for POWs to be treated humanely, adequately housed, and to give sufficient food, clothing, and medical care. d) Prohibiting the use of weapon and warfare that cause “superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering” or “cause widespread, long-term, and severe damage to the natural environment,” Destruction of food, water and other material needed for survival. e) Dams, dikes, and nuclear generating stations, may not be attacked, nor can cultural objects and places of worship BHARAT CONNECTION Bharat as a culture has always been defined

OBSERVATION by rules starting from king till the last person in the kingdom, from family man/women till saints, from human’s duty towards their countrymen to nature (refers Dharamsastra’s like Manusmriti and others).

Similarly war rules are laid out for protecting mankind (refer Dharmayuddha), mentioned in epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana. The connection can be traced from sacred texts, primarily the Dharmasutras and the Dharmashastras.The connection can also be found in Rig Veda, Manusmriti, and Kautilya's Arthashastra.

Few of the rules are as mentioned below:a) Time for fighting: - After sunrise and before sunset. (Way to allow both the sides to take care of wounded soldiers and respectfully following last rites). b) Multiple warriors must not attack a single warrior. (Way to reduce the harm to humanity). c) Two warriors may engage in prolonged personal combat, only if they carry the same weapons and they are on the same mount, i.e either no mount, or both on horse, or on elephant etc. (Way to reduce harm to humanity and giving equal grounds to fight). d) No warrior may kill or injure a warrior who has surrendered and becomes prisoner of war. He will be subjected to the protections of a prisoner of war (Way to protect prisoner of war, as mentioned in Geneva Conventions rules). e) No warrior may kill or injure an unarmed warrior or whose back is turned away. (Way to treat enemy as human first and reduce the damage to human life). f) No warrior may kill or injure an unconscious warrior. (Way to protect wounded soldier or prisoner of war, as mentioned in Geneva Conventions for POW and wounded soldiers). g) No warrior may kill or injure a person or animal not taking part in the war. (Way to protect the civilians, nature as mentioned in Geneva Convention rules) h) The rules for the use of weapon must be followed to reduce damage to nature and other noncombatant entities. (Way to not to allow the usage of mass destructions weapons to save nature, as mentioned in Geneva Convention Rules for limiting use of weapons) i) The lives of women, prisoners of war, and farmers are sacred. (As mentioned in Geneva Convention for separate rights for men and women POW and protecting food).

j) Land should not be pillaged.(Way to protect the food and other stuff important for survival, as mentioned in Geneva Convention rules) To explain it further here are various incidents to prove this.

In Mahabharata when Abhimanyu was killed and Arjun was unable to trace Jayadrath, he under rage of ire wanted to use Brahmastra (A weapon of Mass destruction). Lord Krishna stopped Arjun from using it and said ‘to kill one, it’s not right to kill others who are innocent’.

Many such examples can be traced from Ramayana when Lord Rama stopped Laxmana from using Brahmastra against Meghnaad (Ravan’s son) to protect the nature.

RELATIONS BETWEEN GENEVA CONVENTIONS AND RULES OF BHARAT If we see it closely, the rules laid out for Bharat are proactive in nature rather than reactive. The soldiers who are the smallest entity in a war are also trained to treat other soldier as human first and then enemies (Refer b to f) The articles laid out at Geneva Conventions talk about protecting the wounded, deceased, prisoner of

IN MAHABHARATA WHEN ABHIMANYU WAS KILLED AND ARJUN WAS UNABLE TO TRACE JAYADRATH, HE UNDER RAGE OF IRE WANTED TO USE BRAHMASTRA (A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION).

LORD KRISHNA STOPPED ARJUN FROM USING IT AND SAID ‘TO KILL ONE, IT’S NOT RIGHT TO KILL OTHERS WHO ARE INNOCENT’.

MANY SUCH EXAMPLES CAN BE TRACED FROM RAMAYANA WHEN LORD RAMA STOPPED LAXMANA FROM USING BRAHMASTRA AGAINST MEGHNAAD (RAVAN’S SON) TO PROTECT THE NATURE.

war, civilians and non-combating personals and nature.

Their basic premise is also to treat the enemies as ‘Humans’.

The rules laid out by Red Cross are for protecting the war affected. Whereas rules of Bharat moves a step ahead in controlling the soldiers from reaching to that stage of creating damage to enemy, non-combating personals, nature and civilians.

In our holy text Kautilya, emphatically stressed the need for kind treatment of the vanquished people and their rulers, it can be associated directly with the Geneva Convention for’ Prison of War’ In the Manusmriti. Manu lays down that "one who surrenders or is without arms or is sleeping or is naked, or with hair united (i.e. unprepared) or an onlooker (noncombatant), persons walking on the road, not participating in the conflict, or mere travellers, or those who are engaged in eating and drinking or pursuing their special avocations or activities or diplomatic errands and of course the Brahmins, unless they are engaged in war must never be killed,". It can again be linked with Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons, about protected persons and prisoner of war.

CONCLUSION: - HOPE BHARAT’s FOOTPRINT GET DARKER SOON Before writing this article, I was confused weather to write it as ‘Self-Commendation’ or ‘Self-Realisation’ for Indians. Surely as an Indian, what I realised made me feel proud on our Culture, to see the clear links between our values, the rules defined years back for our society by prioritising humanity over enmity. There are lot of similarity between the Rules framed by International world from

PEOPLE AND UN n JULY 2018

first Geneva Convention till last for humanity and in what we as a society believed since 5000 years ago.

Sometimes it makes me feel sad, when i realise, that nobody from our country tried to become leader in this concept of humanity.

Mr Henry Dunant has got the Nobel peace prize for this and he surely deserves it for bringing his learning of ‘pain at war’ to the world and implementing the solutions for mankind by bringing people together without thinking about him. Though it’s needless to mention but he died in poverty only.

Let’s analyse the facts. How many Nobel Prize – that’s epitome of knowledge and culture world over - have we got since it started in 1901? The count is 5 (2 Peace Prize – Mother Teresa & Kailash Satyarthy, 1 Literature – Rabindranath Tagore, 1 Physics – CV Raman, 1 Economics – Amartya Sen ). It’s a point to ponder upon, why 5 in 117 years.

Does it mean that we lack the knowledge and intellect? The answer is ‘No’.

Instead of summarising it with my answer, I will leave the topic open for readers to think on the questions mentioned below, with the hope that someday, we go all out to give the world what it lacks and we have.

Q1) Is it because the learned in our society lacks vision to think about the world?

Q2) Is it because the learned do not get the adequate support from our society’s resourceful personal to present their learning to the world?

Q3) Is it because, the affluent in our society buys the vision of learned person, brands it in his own name and push it ahead for smaller gains, due to which idea losses the longevity?

Q4) Is it because, our learned lacks the required skill needed to put their ideas convincingly to the world and unite the world on that one idea?

Q5) Is it that the resourceful people of our country are more bothered to improve their lives and their relatives that they don’t bother to help the learned ones?

Q6) Is it because our society is complacent with their achievements and does not want to try for more?

There are various permutation and combinations for the reason of ‘NO’, but only example I want to quote is of ‘YOGA’. If this idea can be taken by world leaders positively, other ideas can also be accepted by them, provided we present it to the world, at right forum, with right skills, with conviction, and back it up with support from our own society. MMIT No.2 between United States and North Korea made a historic achievement towards world Peace thus saving millions of innocent people life. n

Braving Discrimination India Clinches Victory at World Water Council n PEOPLE AND UN Bureau OR THE first time, India scored a major victory at the World Water Council, the world’s supreme body on water, when its proposals were passed at the WWC’s Board of Governors’ meeting in Senegal’s capital Dakar, on June 22, 2018.

Largely initiated by India, the WWC's Governance Commission had proposed a set of resolutions implying changes to the Constitution, the By-Laws, and Membership Guidelines. For the first time ever, the members were given the possibility to vote online from 11-17 June 2018.

F

This is being interpreted by water activists in India as an unprecedented victory for the country as barring the two amendments to the WWC Constitution, all other 16 resolutions including those that on Board terms (Resolution 14), that were initiated by India were passed with overwhelming majority.

India had apprehended that those vested interests who were controlling the WWC did not want to leave and had therefore moved Amendment Resolution 14 that provided limiting tenure of Governors. India’s initiative had meant that 70 per cent Governors would be unable to stand for their post

HENCE BRAGA HAS KEPT 26 MORE MEMBERSHIP REQUESTS FROM INDIA PENDING. IT IS CLEAR THAT VARIOUS DOMINANT LOBBIES WITHIN THE COUNCIL ARE WARY OF INDIA. THERE IS NO RULE IN THE WWC CONSTITUTION THAT CAN RESTRICT THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS. TAKING UP THE INDIAN CAUSE, PRITHVI RAJ SINGH, IN HIS MAIL TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, DID HIGHLIGHT THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST INDIA AT THE WWC: “…AS 35 NEW INDIAN MEMBERS WERE INDUCTED IN BRASILIA, I AM INFORMED PRESIDENT BRAGA AND SOME GOVERNORS HAD AN EMERGENCY CONSULTATION ON THE SIDE-LINES OF BOARD MEETING IN ANXIETY THAT THE INDIANS HAVE BECOME A THREAT TO THE GOVERNANCE OF THE COUNCIL.

again and there was a campaign by these concerned parties to block India’s proposal.

What is interesting is that the WWC was to hold its Extraordinary General Assembly in Marseille, France, on 18 June 2018, but it was replaced by just an "Ordinary General Assembly", which only considered resolutions applying to the By-Laws and not the Constitution.

Already these vested interest groups had tried hard to scuttle India’s growing clout in the World Water Council. It seemingly explored ways to slight India on certain pretexts. The latest was the arbitrary move by WWC president Dr. Benedito Braga to deny entry to renowned water conservationist Dr. Rajendra Singh, an entry as an observer into the Board of Governors’ meeting in Dakar.

Singh’s contribution in the field of water conservation is well known. He is an advocate of treating water as a natural resource and is against commodification of water. He was awarded the Stockholm Water Prize – considered the Noble in Water – by the King of Sweden in 2015. He had shown his willingness to attend the Dakar meet as an observer.

His application to this effect before the WWC was made in the capacity of the International President of London based Flow Partnership.

However, Dr. Braga did not allow him to participate and this created heartburns among water activists in across the world and more so in India. In a strongly worded mail to the WWC Board of Governors where he has recounted instances of continued discrimination against India, Prithvi Raj Singh, the first Indian in the WWC Board of Governors, claimed: “The WWC Secretariat telephoned Flow Partnership to enquire if he was an Indian… thereafter we received the mail…that he cannot attend and later after reference to Dr. Braga for reconsideration, his decision not to permit Dr. Rajendra Singh as an observer was reconfirmed…”

Terming it as an insult to India, senior Indian journalist Deepak Parvatiyar, who was made a member of the World Water Council this year, too shot off a mail to Dr. Braga, where he asked Braga to “recuse” himself from “any WWC Committee(s) that con-

PEOPLE AND UN n JULY 2018

cerns decisions on Indians as your bias may affect the dignity and self-esteem of our country”. “As an Indian I feel very strongly about your decision of declining invitation to Dr. Rajendra Singh, who is a very respectable figure in India and who has done so much for resolving water issues across the globe in a peaceful manner. As you are aware, he has even undertaken water for peace foot march in over 60 countries to spread water literacy and prevent conflicts,” Parvatiyar wrote.

Dr. Singh did go to Dakar uninvited and staged a “Jal satyagraha” in Dakar to bring the world’s attention to the discriminatory attitude of the WWC president.

It may be pointed out that in 2018 India has emerged as the largest group with 48 members in the Council because of the efforts of Prithvi Raj Singh, and this has made the existing Council members concerned as they fear losing their dominant position in the cash-rich Council. Hence Braga has kept 26 more membership requests from India pending. It is clear that various dominant lobbies within the Council are wary of India.

There is no rule in the WWC Constitution that can restrict the number of members.

Taking up the Indian cause, Prithvi Raj Singh, in his mail to the Board of Governors, did highlight the discrimination against India at the WWC: “…as 35 new Indian members were inducted in Brasilia, I am informed President Braga and some Governors had an emergency consultation on the side-lines of Board meeting in anxiety that the Indians have become a threat to the Governance of the Council. Thereafter, it was decided to bring the Governance Commission recommendations for a vote by the Board when in earlier meetings it was agreed that as per the Constitution, the Board cannot vote on changes in the Constitution or by-laws and they should be directly referred to the members in an extraordinary meeting… Meanwhile, 12 more members from India applied and the President did not permit discussion on the merits of these organizations but kept their approval in abeyance on the basis of their nationality…”

In fact the attempt to marginalize India

at the water’s biggest forum had intensified ever since an Indian, Prithvi Raj Singh, – who belongs to an erstwhile royal family of Rajasthan managed to get elected to the WWC’s Governing council in 2015 through his “foreign” friends in the Council. Till recently, before the World Water Forum, which is organized by the WWC every four year, in Brasilia in March 2018, India had no say with only 8 members (that means only 8 votes) in the over 300member WWC which till now was dominated

by France (40 members) and Brazil (33 members).

India’s elevation indeed made the caucus that rules the WWC, uncomfortable. This unease was reflected way back in 2016 itself when a lowly rank officer of the WWC, Patrick Johann Schindler, who was the personal assistant of WWC President Dr. Benedito Braga, who himself is a secretary of state ranked officer for sanitation and water resources for the Brazilian state of Sao Paolo, threw protocol and interna-

tional diplomacy to the winds and threatened that Braga would “decline all meetings” with the Indian Prime Minister and other cabinet ministers if Schindler was included in these meetings during a visit by a high level World Water Council delegation to India. Finally the meeting with the Indian PM could not materialize because of this high handed approach of the WWC. In fact an India News Agency, IBNS, even sought sought a response from the WWC on the charges by Indian members, but to no avail.

In its report on this alleged discrimination against India, it stated that “Any response from WWC is awaited”.

It was in 1996 at Rio Earth Summit that the World Bank, United Nations, IUCN, ICID had proposed the formation of a World Stakeholders' Association focussed on water and sanitation. The founding members of World Water Council were Egypt, France and Canada n

Of the ‘God particle’ and ‘Kalachakra’

By Chander P Mahajan OR A LONG TIME, at least since I met him in Dharamshala, in 2001, when I was Chief Engineer, there, I have been fascinated by His Holiness Dalai Lama. I trust the positivity in him and feel the vibrations while he holds my hand.

He has been known to say that he would have become an engineer if he hadn't been a monk.

He has an interest in machines, which he developed as a young boy. As a teenager he repaired a movie projector by himself, without its guide or any instructions.

His hobbies include meditating, gardening; and collecting and repairing watches.

At 2, he was renamed Tenzin Gyatso, took the throne at age 4 and became a monk at age 6.

At age five, in a monastery in Kumbum, Tibet, his favorite game was playing with two white mice who would sneak into his room and distract him from studying; according to an interview with National Geographic Kids.

The Dalai Lama is interested in science and has for many years been involved with research looking into how meditation affects the brain. “..In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality."

He writes and speaks extensively about the need for a caring attitude toward the environment, the intricate interrelationship between humans and the earth, and the importance of respect for the earth’s living things.

Knowing of his ‘Engineering’ bent of mind, a scientist’s approach to life, respect for Environment as also his hobbies made me and my sons feel good having something in common with this kind human being. Besides, having a wonderful collection of watches, my school

going boys liked playing with the Angora rabbits in our, ‘in house’ mini zoo.

During my last stay in Patna with my son Manu Maharaaj , the news of Dalai Lama’s stay in Bodhagya, only 100 miles away, enthused me with the prospect of meeting him and I , fortunately ,did ,courtesy, Mr. Wanchuk ,OSD, Central Tibetan Administration.

Bodhgaya in Bihar, India, is the holiest Buddist Pilgrimage site where prince Siddhartha Gautma of Kapilvastu attained enlightenment and became the Bhuddha, 2600 years ago.

The Vajrasna, the seat on which he meditated and Bodhi tree under which he attained enlightenment are standing today as witness to that great event at Maha Bodhi Temple complex , Bodhgaya, a World heritage cultural Property since 2002.

It is believed that 250 years after the enlightenment of the Buddha, King Ashoka visited Bodhgaya. He is considered the founder of Mahabodhi temple.

The huge compound comprises of a number of temples and other structures. There is a pond full of fish whom you can feed.

There are records of pilgrims coming to Bodhgaya from all over India and from almost every land and region where Buddhism spread.

Fa Hien reached Bodhgaya, the first Chinese monk ever to do so;

ART&CULTURE followed by Hiuen Tsiang. Another pilgrim, this time a Tibetan, was the scholar monk Dharmasvamin. His biography includes details of everything he saw and experienced in Bodhgaya and is the last full account of the place until 1811.

In later centuries the Mahabodhi Monastery grew into a great monastic university on a par with Nalanda and Vikramasila and became the premier centre for the study of Theravada Buddhism in India.

Other famous names associated with it include the Kashmiri Tantric siddha Ratnavajra.

Tsami Lotsawa Sangye Trak is described in one ancient book as "the only Tibetan ever to hold the chair at Vajrasana" suggesting that he was a professor at the university.

Finally, at the insistence of Alexander Cunningham, the then Director General of the Archaeological Survey, the government intervened and did the job.

Popular souvenirs have been seeds and leaves from the Bodhi Tree.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama was on a month-long stay to give the Kalachakra teaching and Initiation for the 5th time, in January, 2018.

Back home, studing whatever literature at hand and with inputs from Bodhgya temple Management committee (BTMC), ‘the U.S.News & World Report library staff’ etc.

Whatever facts I could correlate are as under:Dalai Lama is the title of Tibetan Buddhism leader. "Dalai" is from Mongolian origin which means "ocean" and "Lama" is from Tibetan origin which means "the highest principle".

Dalai Lamas are considered the manifestations of the Bodhisattva (Buddha) of Compassion, who chose to reincarnate to serve the people.

I wonder if it were the philosophy of the woman empowerment, yet the Dalai Lama stated in 2007 that the next Dalai Lama could possibly be a woman, remarking, "If a woman reveals herself as more useful the lama could very well be reincarnated in this form".

"Kalacakra" is one of many tantric teachings and esoteric practice in Tibetan Buddhism. It is an active Vajrayana tradition, one offered to large public audiences.

The Kalacakra sand mandala is dedicated to both individual and world peace and physical balance. The Dalai Lama explains: “It is a w ay of planting a seed, and the seed will have karmic effect. This ancient scripture baffles modern science.

It offers a strikingly sophisticated presentation of the universe, with a description of atoms and sub-atomic particles that have a surprising correlation with modern theories of particle physics.

His Holiness has discussed these parallels in meetings with scientists, and there are suggestions that the space particle presented in the tantra may be equivalent to the famously elusive Higgs boson.

The Higgs boson is an elementary particle nicknamed the 'God particle' because of its importance; first suspected to exist in the 1960s. The subatomic particle had long been theorized but wasn't

confirmed until 2013.

CERN's Hadron Collider, located in a 27-kilometer tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border near Geneva, the world's largest atomsmashing machine is most famous for proving the existence of the ‘God particle’.

The results show with a new level of precision the way the particle is generated and decays, and how it interacts with other particles.

Without the ‘God particle’ the universe would be cold, dark and lifeless.

Physicists have set their sights on finding dark matter, the undetectable material that makes up 84 per cent of matter in the universe and binds galaxies together yet whose nature is unknown. If they are able to detect and describe dark matter, it will mark a huge leap forward in our understanding of the universe As of 2018, in-depth research shows the particle continuing to behave in line with predictions for the Standard Model Higgs boson.

More studies are needed to verify with higher precision that the discovered particle has all of the properties predicted.

The tradition combines myth and history, whereby actual historical events become an allegory for the spiritual drama within a person,

drawing symbolic lessons for inner transformation towards Buddha nature.

The tradition's roots are in India, but its most active history and presence has been in the monasteries of Tibet.

Another interpretation of Kalacakra's prophecy is that it refers to internal war against mental and emotional aggression.

The phrase "as it is outside, so it is within the body" is often found in the Kalacakra tantra to emphasize the similarities and correspondence between human beings and the cosmos.

Tantric iconography including sharp weapons, shields, and corpses similarly appears in conflict with those tenets of non-violence but instead represent the transmutation of aggression into a method for overcoming illusion and ego.

These are symbols - against the ultimate root of evil, the self-cherishing conceptual identity that gives rise to the five poisons of ignorance, desire, hatred, pride, and jealousy.

The Kalachakra, a term used in Vajrayana Buddhism that means wheel of time or "time-cycles", has been integral to Tibetan culture and science since it reached Tibet 1,000 years ago. The tradition is a form of nondualism, and it is believed that the Kalachakra was taught by the Buddha himself.

One doesn’t need to be present at the Kalachakra ceremony in order to receive its benefits.”

24

PEOPLE AND UN n JULY 2018

The relevance within the Tibetan context is obvious, but what has the Kalachakra to offer the rest of the world?

The entire meaning of the subject matter of the Kalachakra tantra is included within the three Kalachakras, or Wheels of Time: The Outer Wheel of Time, the Inner Wheel of Time, and the Other Wheel of Time.

The Outer Wheel of Time is the external world of the environment, and it is also called "The procession of the external solar and lunar days."

The Inner Wheel of Time is the human body, or earth-surface.

Likewise, the inner channels, elements, and movements of the winds are set forth as the Inner Wheels of Time.

The Other Wheel of Time is "other" than the preceding two Wheels of Time.

The guru ripens the disciple's psycho-physical continuum with the initiations, and the disciple meditates on the path that consists of the generation process and the completion process.

In this way the yogi actualizes the result the buddha body that is the divine image of emptiness. This is the Other Wheel of Time.

Despite the incredibly sophisticated and multilayered technical content, the Kalachakra has not put people off.

Quite the contrary, one of the main reasons for attending is the social aspect of the occasion; Tibetans have traditionally enjoyed religious gatherings as an opportunity to socialize.

For foreign participants, it is a venue where they can meet likeminded practitioners and share in the generation of positive collective merit, while bathing in the Dalia Lama’s charismatic presence.

Recognizing the social function of the initiation, His Holiness uses any opportunity to preach his universal message of love, compassion, and peace to the world beyond his flock.

The Buddha’s intention is to benefit all sentient beings beyond the constraints of time, space, and culture.

From the cycles of the planets, to the cycles of human breathing, it teaches the practice of working with the most subtle energies within one's body on the path to enlightenment.

When asked on his website what the purpose of life is, the Dalai Lama’s response was, “to be happy.” n
