Please permit me to mention some very important aspects about the failures had by our current formal educational systems, systems used almost worldwide. Have you ever thought about our ancient accomplishments dealing with the difficult issues about improved methods of education? Remember that in those far away times most people didn’t know how to read, much less how to write. How these lucky people did receive their instruction? Maybe, they were instructed with much better ways, now unknown to us. Let me mention one important example. The Greeks used the walking while discussing important topics learning method. In ancient Indian cultures how did they succeed in achieving this? Your next assignment will be, by doing some intentional thinking, open many questions in your brain regarding this subject. Our planet has experienced several pathways that lead to learning. Our modern world has stuck, maybe for too long, using the approach LEARNING THROUGH FACTS. Another approach I have successfully employed is LEARNING BY DISCOVERY. In this system we must first empty our cups. We start from zero. We know zip about a topic. Every time we follow this interesting pathway, we give our brains a chance to create many hooks. Hooks which have each one a different question mark. These useful tools are also good in supplying us with a lot of combinations- It’s like a parade formed by many individuals, each one with diverse functions. In order to maximize their effectiveness they are ordered in columns and rows. Each row is made up with twelve warriors. Each column also consists of twelve mental soldiers. Read more

Early this morning, after praying and meditating, I went for my long walk at a nearby park. The previous night I had come out with the title of my next article. “OUR PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT AND OUR ENDOCRINE SYSTEM” While I was walking I was developing several components about the mentioned article. By this way I seek for the proper framework, examples, analogies, facts, comparisons, people’s opinions, symbols, etc .I was deeply immerse in these thoughts, when without warning an impetuous inner message burst out with such great force that it materialized right in front of my walking, so I couldn’t avoid running into this message. This front and hard collision made me think immediately in writing some introductory articles about many unknown aspects about the country I was born in, and about some mystical experiences had by me. If you can understand, appreciate and enjoy our extensive cultural background you will given the first technique to understand other interesting foreign places. So I’m gladly forced to give you two useful techniques studied and applied in the lessons contained in the APPLIKOM PROJECT. Here I’ll supply you with the three steps of the first technique. Read more

If a happy person is a good human being, then a happier person would be an improved human being. Wouldn’t he? Striving for excellence in all walks of life is our basic component rooted in our spiritual genes. We’ve wrongly been cursing our trials, shortcomings, and limitations for a long time. Let’s stop doing this negative action. Instead let’s remove our blindfold, and be totally aware that they are our expected golden growing opportunities so long desired. We must extract until the last drop of their juices. I have always insisted in our society for washing our brains making us think that the more modern products we’ll posses the happier people we would be. Subliminal messages are constantly bombarded into our minds. The verb “to have material goods” has been conjugated in all the tenses and forms. These messages plus the very concrete messages on the media have almost succeeded in their mission. They have left us, just a little room for our subconscious minds to work with. How can we neutralize those terrible messages? One solution is recurring to our intuition. Another solution is to use our minds to create effective approaches to fight our enemies, for indeed they are our real enemies Read more

Truth is not for those who are respectable, nor for those who desire self-extension, self-fulfillment. Truth is not for those who are seeking security, permanency; for the permanency they seek is merely the opposite of impermanency. Being caught in the net of time, they seek that which is permanent, but the permanent they seek is not the real because what they seek is the product of their thought. Therefore, a man who would discover reality must cease to seek - which does not mean that he must be contented with what is. Read more

Indians don't eat beef much (mainly Christians and Muslims - along with some Hindus eat). Americans - specially in South - love their steaks and beefs. No connection? There is. In 1849, Dr. James Bolton Davis of Fairfield County, South Carolina - first imported cattle from India. The 3 main breeds were "Guzerat" (or, I assume Gujarat); Nellore, and Gir. He had come to know of the Indian - Bos indicus - the Indian species - cattle while serving as agricultural advisor to the Sultan of Turkey. Since then, there were repeated imports into the US of the Indian variety - specially in the Southern states of the US. The US breed that emerged out of this entire cross-breeding was called Brahma or Brahman bulls. Through centuries of exposure to inadequate food supplies, insect pests, parasites, diseases and the weather extremes of tropical India, the native cattle developed some remarkable adaptations for survival. Two Indian bulls were given to Richard Barrow, a cotton and sugar planter of St. Francisville, LA., in 1854, by the British Crown in recognition of Mr. Barrow's services of teaching cotton and sugar cane culture to a British representative who was to take these arts to India. The offspring of these cattle became known as "Barrow Grade" cattle, becoming widely known through the Gulf Coast region. The success of these two animals led to the importation of two more Indian bulls in 1885 by J.M. Frost and Albert Montgomery of Houston, Texas. By mating these two bulls to the offspring of the Barrow bulls, the first attempt to concentrate the blood of Bos indicus cattle in the United States was undertaken. Read more

...or in other words, is it necessary for you to take that credit and pretend to watch over the consciousness or the "being" while it happens? When do you stop taking credit? When does this investment in ego end? Another great satsang from Mooji! I really love his eloquence - and it is very easy to follow what he is saying because it comes from a lot of clarity! What he says has until now, made complete sense to me. He doesn't beat around the bush.. and is very direct in most of the ideas and thoughts. HIGHLY recommended! Read more

Imparting education to Girls is Un-Islamic. So say the Taliban and they to ensure their belief becomes a reality, they have burnt 50 out of the 150-odd girls schools in the Swat district of NWFP. The number is growing faster than the spread of the fastest religion in the world. 50 is the figure that they have burnt down but those which have stopped functioning because of fear of the Taliban is over 100. So >75% of the schools where girls studied have closed. The female literacy in Swat was a measly 30% last year.. this year it is a respectable (for the Taliban) 25%. Clearly it is succeeding! It is actually Maulana Fazalullah-led Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM), which is challenging the writ of the government in NWFP by burning down government schools in Swat, saying imparting education to girls was simply un-Islamic. Read more

August 6, 2008: Well, finally Supreme Court has slapped the ban back on SIMI. ============ ============ Masochism taken to a new level.. truly! Here is another example of how the current Government has been functioning COMPULSIVELY CRIMINAL! Everyone knows that Students Islamic Movement of India is a terrorist organization with just ONE major aim - to launch a war against India with the help of Pakistan's ISI and other elements. There is no argument about this - except for in the quarters of the ISI or India's wretched pseudo-secular "Intellectuals" who have clearly over-stayed their welcome in India.. and should board the next flight out with a Talibanese passport. As for the rest of us, we will have to keep our eyes and ears open and save ourselves. For, the government which SHOULD have gathered, documented and presented enough proof on SIMI's involvement as a terrorist organization, has done zilch! And, I believe, deliberately so! It isn't so naive! So, what's the result? Delhi High Court lifts the ban on SIMI because it could not find enough evidence! Can you believe this? A week after over 50 bombs were planted by the off-shoot of SIMI, Delhi's High Court were not furnished enough evidence against SIMI?? Read more
