We remain thankful to all our readers and contributors who have stood by us in the last three years. Seva Darshan Kuwait has a new team this year and we hope our editorial team will live up to the expectation of our readers. We go through turbulent times. Our national symbols and values are being trampled upon. Institutions that are the bedrock of our democracy are being questioned. Our religious leaders are being targeted and defiled. An opportunity to change this presents itself before us in the form of the National elections to choose a government that will stand up to the aspirations of the people of India. It is our opportunity to make our voices is heard. A chance for us to choose a leader with a vision. We must encourage our kith and kin to not Editorial Board Krishna Kumar Paliath Vibheesh Tikkodi Anandharaj Konni Reshmy Krishna Kumar Data Management Ajaykumar Anjaneyam Rajarajan Ganesan Gopakumar.

The media is playing a major role in the formation of our opinions on various issues in our nation. A one sided biased approached in reporting is being increasingly noticed during this crucial phase our Nation is going through. It becomes the moral responsibly of being a journalist that needs to stands before our personal likings while reporting so that the people of the Nation are able to better formulate their views on the various issues. Financial dealing and benefits must not affect the outcome of reporting. A nation unites its self with its language. It is unknowingly an important part of keeping our culture and heritage alive. Samskritha Bharati has been doing the yeoman service of educating the people in the language and has crossed borders to ensure all people on Indian roots keep this alive. Kuwait will also be host to a 10 day Sanskrit speaking camp in the month of March. All Indians must take this opportunity to learn this language, which is the mother of all languages in the world. As we approach Vishu, Seva Darshan’s unique ‘Vishu Kaineetam’ programmes are getting ready across Kuwait. The celebrations at every home will ensure it is shared also along with our needy brothers and sisters back in India. We wish our Bala Darshan children all the best in making this event a roaring success like every other year. After the hugely successful Yuva For India boot camp, Yuva Darshan Kuwait is holding its first follow up session with a vision to encourage our youngsters to choose scientific research as a career for their future. We welcome all our participants to these sessions. With many programmes being planned throughout the year, we hope this New Year will be an opportunity for the Seva Darshan family to put forward its community service commitment to the public and encourage everyone to be the change they want in the community. 3 इित अस्माकं दृ��ः। संस्कृ तभारत्याः कायर्म ् एवं र�त्या सवार्िशषा �चलित। संस्कृ तािभमािननां भेदभावनां �वना एक�ीकरणम ्, समान�दिश, सामू�हकय�ः च भवेत ् kwkvIrXw A²rmßnId दृष्ट्या एव संस्कृ तक्षे�े �क��चत ् सङ्घटनं करणीयम ् इित �य�ः �चलित। सव�षां Sanskrit Spiritualism अनु कूल�ितकूलसाहचयर्म ् अ�वगणय्य सवर्� सवर्दा सफलः प�रणामः िसद्ध्यते। अनया प�रणामका�रतायै केवलं न स्वधमार्नु�ानाय सफलतायै च एकता अपेक्षते । अनेन स्मर��ः �े�ैः सङ्घे श��ः कलौ युगे इित �चायर्त् े। || श���कटनाय अिधकार�ा�यै || सङ्गच्छध्वम वै�दककालादारभ्य वाच�पित. प. न�दकुमारः, || सङ्गच्छध्वम ् || एव। एतम ् आषर्वचनं सङ्घ�टतय�स्य मह�वं सवर्� �ितपा�ते वाच�पित. प. न�दकुमारः, ृ तभारती | वै�दककालादारभ्य सङ्घ�टतय�स्य मह�वं सवर्� �ितपा�ते एव। एतमसं�् कआषर् वचनं सं�कृतभारती | ् आषर्वचनं वै �दककालादारभ्य सङ्घ�टतय�स्य मह�वं सवर्� �ितपा�ते एव। एतम ् || सङ्गच्छध्वम || स्मर��ः �े�ैः सङ्घे श��ः कलौ युगे इित �चायर्ते। श���कटनाय अिधकार�ा�यै स्मर��ः �े�ैः सङ्घे श��ः इित सफलतायै �चायर्ते। श���कटनाय प�रणामका�रतायै केवलं न कलौ स्वधमार्युनगु�े ानाय च एकता अपेअिधकार�ा�यै क्षते । अनेन प�रणामका�रतायै केवलं न स्वधमार्नसवर् ु�ानाय च एकतािसद्ध्यते अपेक्षते।। अनया अनेन अनुकूल�ितकूलसाहचयर् म ् अ�वगणय्य � सवर्सफलतायै दा सफलः प�रणामः अनु कूल�ितक लसाहचयर् अ�वगणय्य सवर्� सवर् दा सफलः प�रणामः । अनया दृष्ट्या एव ू सं स्कृ तक्षे�मे ् �क��चत करणीयम �य�ःिसद्ध्यते �चलित। सव�षां ् सङ्घटनं ् इित दृष्ट्या एव संस्कृ तक्षे े �क��चत करणीयम �चलित।च सव� ् इित �य�ः सं स्कृ तािभमािननां भेद�भावनां �वना् सङ्घटनं एक�ीकरणम सामू�हकय�ः भवेषतां ् ्, समान�दिश, संस्कृ तािभमािननां भेदभावनां एक�ीकरणम �हकय�ः इित अस्माकं दृ��ः। संस्कृ�वना तभारत्याः कायर्म्, ् समान�दिश, एवं र�त्या सामू सवार् िशषा इित स्अस्माक दृ��ः। संस्कृ तभारत्याः कायर् म ् एवं साफल्यम र�त्या ् सवार् िशषा् �व�सं कृ तपुस्ं तकमे ला इत्याद�नां महाकायर् �माणां ईदृशम �व�संस्कृ स्तकमे मह�वमे व तपु �दशर् यित।ला मह�वमेव �दशर्यित। इत्याद�नां महाकायर्�माणां साफल्यम ् ईदृशम ् च भवेत ् �चलित। �चलित। एकतायाः एकतायाः उ�र�दे शस्य मीरठ�व��व�ालयात ् संस्कृ त�वभागे िनष्कािसते कृ तः सङ्घ�टतः �य�ः उ�र�दे शस्य �े मीरठ�व��व�ालयात संस्कृ त�वभागे सङ्घ�टतः ऐकमत्यस्य �त्वं �ोतयित। मेर् ठ�ान्तस्य कायर्िनष्कािसते कतार्रः आयर्कृसतः माजः �व�ािथर्प�य�ः �रषद् ऐकमत्यस्य �व�वधसङ्घटनानां �े�त्वं �ोतयित। सम्पक मेरठ�ान्तस्य कायर्क रः आयर् प�रषद् इत्याद�नां र् �ारा प�वातार् ः, तार्�दशर् नम ्,समाजः सङ्घषर्�व�ािथर् ः इत्या�दिभः इत्याद�नां �व�वधसङ्घटनानां सम्पक प�वातार् ः, �दशर्नममहता ः इत्या�दिभः ्, सङ्घषर्य�े �व��व�ालयािधका�रणां िनणर्य स्य र् �ारा �वरोधं कृ तवन्तः। न अन्ते �व��व�ालयािधका�रणां िनणर्यस्य कृ तवन्तः। य�ेन कृ अन्ते संस्कृ त�वभागः पुनः स्था�पतः। ततः �वरोधं पूव� राज्यपाले न संस्कृमहता तस्य �वषये तस्य सं स्कृ त�वभागः �ितकरणे पुनः स्था�पतः। पूव� राज्यपाले कृितस्य अपभाषणस्य अ�प संस्ततः कृ तभारत्याः इत्युन�े संसंस्स्कृकृतस्य �ानां �वषये संस्कृ त�े मणां अपभाषणस्य संस्कृ तभारत्याः �ेयः संस्वीकृ स्कृ �ानां कृ त�ेिन मणां सामू�हकतायाः �ितकरणे सङ्घटनस्यअ�प च �ितफलनं दृ�म ्। यः इत्यु िनणर् तः सःसंस्प�रवतर् ीयः सामू�हकतायाः च �ितफलनं िनणर्यः स्वीकृ तः सः प�रवतर् नीयः ्। यः समस्यानां अभवत तस्य �वषये अ� वधर्दृ�म मानानां �ितकरणािन अवश्यं ्। संस्कृसङ्घटनस्य अभवत ्। संअनु स्कृ तस्य �वषये अ� वधर् ानानां �ितकरणािन �य�ः। अवश्यं करणीयािन कूलप�र�स्थितः च आने तम व्या च। समस्यानां अयमेकः �ित��यात्मकः करणीयािन अनुकूलप�र�स्थितः च ःआने तव्या च। कः �ित��यात्मकः �य�ः। अनेन संस्कृ त�वषये जायमानाः सवार् समस्याः सम्मुअयमे खीकरणीयाः एवं समाजे जागितः अनेनतव्या संस्कृच। त�वषये जायमानाः सवार्ः समस्याः सम्मुखीकरणीयाः एवं समाजे जागितः िनमार् िनमार्तव्या च। सङ्घ�टतय�ः प�र�स्थितप�रवतर्ने सफलः भवतीती तिमळनाडु राज्यस्य अनुभवः। त� सङ्घ�टतय�ः ने सफलः भवतीती तिमळनाडु अनुभनवः।वतर्त� �व�ालयेषु संस्कृप�र�स्थितप�रवतर् तं पठन्तः अत्यल्पाः। समाजे अ�स्मन उत्साहः अ�प ते। ् �वषये राज्यस्य �व�ालयेषचेु न्सं तं पठन्तः अत्यल्पाः। सम्भाषणिश�बराणाम समाजे अ�स्मन ् �वषये उत्साहः अ�प न वतर्तचे। परन्तु नैस्नकृगरे संस्कृ तभारत्याः वतर्नकायर् �माणां ् अनु परन्तु 4 चेन्नैनगरे संस्कृ तभारत्याः सम्भाषणिश�बराणाम ् अनुवतर्नकायर्�माणां च Sopanam -

March, 2014 A²rmßnId Spiritualism Yugaadi- ( Varsha Prathipadha) and delicious, signify the two conflicting aspects of human life - joy and sorrow, success and failure, ecstasy and agony. This tells us that we should remain calm and balanced during success and failure, joy and sorrow and take everything as the gift of God. This in fact is the essence of yoga. Every one goes to the Temple on the New year's day. There is Panchanga Shravanam arranged in the Temples. The first day of chaitra, the first month in lunar calendar The first day of the year according to the national calendar of Bharat, is significant both for its historical import and for the advent of bountiful nature. The day falls in the beginning of spring Vasanta Ritu - When the Goddess of Nature gets bedecked as a divine bride. This is celebrated as new year. There is the air of freshness in the nature as this is the spring season. In some parts of Bharat, the tender leaves of neem mixed with jaggery and offered to God as naivedya and then distributed as prasaada. The neem, extremely bitter in taste, and jaggery sweet Historically, the day recalls the inspiring occasion when the kings Shalivahana and Vikramaditya defeated the invading barbaric forces of Shakas from Central Asia during the 1st century A.D. The founding of new Eras in the names of Vikrama and Shalivahana signifies the supreme importance accorded to them in the Bharth history and tradition for safeguarding the nation's freedom and sovereignty. As such, the continuing tradition of the two Eras has helped to keep aglow the spirit of national freedom in the nation's mind. Baisaakhi, which follows Yugaadi, is the first day of the Hindu Solar Year ( 2nd week of April ). In Punjab and certain other northern parts, it is an occasion for unbounded religious fervor and mass participation in festivities. “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual.

A record 815 million people will excise their right to vote. In 1947, we selected democracy as our model of government. We found that this was instrumental in ensuring an equal and unbiased representation of all the different communities who come from various regions, caste and language barriers. For democracy to work requires a set of political values and ideological orientation. This was readily available with the Congress Party that was in the political forefront of the Independence struggle There is strong relationship between the democratic process and the economic development of the country. Likewise there is an equally, if not stronger, relationship between the power that rules the nation and the cultural and moral foundations of that nation. Various writers and thinkers have criticized the functioning of the state and the bureaucracy at various times. But almost all of them would agree that the current process is so far the most effective way of ensuring all the citizens get an equal share in electing their leader of choice. We are a ‘Nation’ rather than a country. Hence the word ‘Rashtram’ has a very close meaning to our nation’s functioning. This cannot be effectively described in the western concept of a democracy. A standard interpretation is that a Nation is a State. But a State is a physical description of a land with fixed boundaries when people live together and are administered by a selected group of people 10 according to pre-defined laws and regulations. A Nation is formed by a group of people who have a rich legacy of memories and desire to live together and continue to receive and cherish their rich heritage. Common race, language or simply a unity in interests is not enough to create such a group of people. Nationality is sentiment for national literature, heroes, geniuses, language, sentiments, traditions and modes of dress it is a feeling that goes beyond definition. The people of India by and large have a common cultural language and share common literature that regulates and governs their life even in minute details. Their outlook is different from any of the people in the world. In spite of superficial differences the people across the nation have a common basis for their magnificent architecture, painting, dancing and several other art forms. The people of India have been procession of this land for 8000 years and more. Our western education would probably refute our claims and tell us of events of Kingdoms with India fighting each other. They have also laid claim saying that the invaders united the country called India today. At a time when our nation was writing philosophies and having an organized society the so called invaders were wanderers and nomads. The Vedas proclaim, “And we were one nation –‘over all the land from sea to sea one kingdom!’ In our quest to form a perfect democratic state, successive governments have forgotten to preserve the foundations of our National Consciousness, and our nationhood. While we argue that for a Nation to survive it must have a land, we have seen Sopanam - March, 2014 ho£Ww Views many communities like the Jews and Parisis who lost their land due to invasions still working as a community to retain their individuality communal spirit. In our nation religion is all encompassing. Culture is simply a product of religion. The common argument that religion should have no place in public and political life stems out of some western ideas which consider religions as dogmas forced upon people. This may be true for some nations and communities. But the same need not be enforced in our nation. When religion is considered as beneficial only to the individual that follows it, it will have no space in a national dialogue. But when religion itself is considered the foundation of a Nation, it has a much bigger role. In our nation, religion regulates the society and all its functions. So the nation concept includes country, race, religion, culture, and language. And it requires each of the five in a homogeneous whole. When one goes, extinction is a possibility. When religion is forcefully separated, morality takes a fall. This is evident in the present day state of affairs in our nation. Crime and corruption is becoming the disease that is eating into our nation. The society has to be awakened from its state of non-reaction to what is happening around them. They seem to have lost hope. Our education system Sopanam - March, 2014 has been evolved to become counterproductive and have instilled a feeling of defeat amongst the new generation. Various alternative options open up before us as a reaction to these negatives vibes being felt all over the country. It is surely a welcome change to see the younger generation of our Nation more active these days in discussions and having a proactive approach to the goodwill of the nation. Along with this radical change comes the threat of a philosophy that does not heed to the basic nature of a Nation. It believes that direct action alone can forcefully achieve in a short span of time whatever illness has crept into the society. These results in massive unrest triggering and social and criminal disorder in the state. We must ensure these types of tendencies are not tolerated just to defeat social evils without actually eliminating the root causes completely from our system. This anarchist type of mentality stands to destroy the culture of Nation that has not been shaken by countless invasions and fraudulent conversion tactics. Ours is a Nation that has shown generosity, tolerance, sacrifice and love for all living beings. Our culture and heritage has produced great scientists, philosophers, economists and artists. We must not try to enforce a modern concept of State on our Nation that has been in existence from time immemorial. We need governance that will truly work for the development and advancement of the Nation on the whole. In spite of the differences in race, language and religion, our development model must be for the upliftment of the Nation and not confined to few minorities, ‘Swaraj’ means independence, the power of the National Race. To be full it should have a scientific frontier and be richly productive. “Race” means that persons, who have a common origin and common fellow feeling, i.e. are related together by common traditions and naturally by common aspiration. We must be proud 11 ho£Ww A²rmßnId Views Spiritualism of being of the ‘Bharateeyan’ race and must work together for the advancement of the race and its concepts throughout the world. The invaders, who realized the danger of the people of Bharat developing a sense of a united race, systematically stamped out the qualities that attributed to this feeling. Hence our text books are filled with ideas of a conquered race, our common languages have been divided and our people divided on the basis of language. They saw to it that people of different religion that began to live together after years of war and distrust was further divided by way of benefits and other provisions. The Indian National Congress which was born out of the people’s dissent soon became a party to the British aspiration to destroy the Nation. And they do so till today. They have been following the policies of the British and have forced the people to believe that wealth and military power is what matters in the world. They 12 have de-cultured and de-nationalized our people. The “lack of the National sentiment of the right sort, is the root of our troubles. We are being provided an opportunity to choose what is right for our Nation and we must express our desire by the power of the ballot. It becomes our duty to ensure every citizen exercises this right to choose what is much needed for our Nation today – A class of leaders who stand to make our Nation proud and will sacrifice their life for the upliftment of our Nation. We do not despair of the future. The race spirit has prevented our destruction in the past and shall do so again in the future. Other nations have had their day and left, not Hindusthan. Today we see a national awakening under great leaders. Let us rouse ourselves!

Krishna Iyer described the importance of every Indian citizen adopting two children family norm and recommended the need for bringing in laws to enforce the same. Some sections of the people and some organizations had expressed their reservations on said recommendation and are openly campaigning against it. The concept of having two children in the family is not something new to the Indian system. The menace of growing populations had been judicially noticed and the constitutional validity of legislative means to check the population was upheld by the Indian Constitutional Courts. The Honorable Supreme Court of India has considered the issue in a case where an Air Hostess was terminated from service for the reason that she gave birth to a third child. While upholding such employment termination decision, the Honorable court held that when the whole world is faced with the problem of population explosion, it will not only be desirable but absolutely essential for India to see that the family planning program is maintained at sufficient levels in order to address the danger of over-population. It is a fact that certain religions permit their believers to to procreate as many children as they want. But no religion in India dictates or mandates the same as an obligation. What is permitted or not prohibited by a religion does not become a religious practice or a positive tenet of a religion and a practice does not acquire the sanction of religion simply because it is permitted by religion. Adv. M.K. Sumodh religious faith and religious practices. What the Indian Constitution protects is the religious faith and not the religious practices. If the religious practices run counter to public order, then the same should be prohibited by enacting appropriate laws. Sati, animal sacrifice, child marriage and dowry were such practices followed by different religious groups and on the ground of morality and social welfare policies, those practices were prohibited through the enactment of appropriate laws. India has the discredit of being second only to China at the top of the list of 10 most populated countries in the world. The National Planning Committee set up by our former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru considered “Family Planning and Limitation of Children” essential for the interests of social economy, family happiness and national planning. The Committee recommended the establishment of birth control clinics and other necessary measures such as raising the age of marriage and a eugenic sterilization program. A private Bill named “Two-child norm bill”, which was introduced in the RajyaSabha on 3rd May, 2010 for providing population control and for matters connected therewith has not been taken up for consideration until now. Considering the importance of such a Bill and as responsible citizens of India, each of us should bring up this issue to the public domain for a healthy debate so that the next Government of India should take up this critical issue in the best interest of the Nation.

One day, as Ramana Maharshi was strolling in his Ashram, he noticed a few grains of rice lying on the ground near the kitchen. He immediately started collecting all the grains. Seeing that the Saint was carefully picking up the few grains, His devotees were surprised and gathered around Him. They could not believe that the great Saint, who had left His home and worldly ties for the sake of God, cared so much for a few grains of rice. Finally, one of His devotees had the courage to ask Him, Gurudēv, we have many bags of rice in the kitchen. Why do you take the trouble to pick up these few grains?" The Saint replied, "You see only these few grains of rice, but try to see what has gone into these grains. The hard work of the farmer, whoploughed the field and sowed the seeds, the water of the ocean, the clouds and the rain, the cool air and the warm sunshine, the soft soil and the rice plants. All these have gone into these grains. If you understand this, you will see the hand of God in every grain. So, do not waste them or crush them under your feet. If you do not want to eat them, give them to the birds." Moral: How many times do we waste things like water, food, paper, etc., that we feel are unimportant! Next time before wasting things or not taking care of what we have, we can remember this story and see the presence of God in all creation. Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear. All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
