The dollar is under no threat. Really?

The US dollar has received a lot of bashing in recent times. And why not? The US economy is in the doldrums, unemployment is soaring and the deficit has widened all of which has put immense pressure on its currency. So much so that there have been voices in many quarters questioning the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. China has been at the forefront suggesting that the US dollar should be replaced with another reserve currency.



However, the MD of International Monetary Fund (IMF), Dominique Strauss-Kahn has said that confidence in the dollar isn't under threat despite the fact that the debt on US' books has bloated.

And his view is endorsed by the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who also believes in the strength of the dollar. Infact, the PM opines that the current setback in the US is 'temporary' and that there is no substitute to the US dollar for replacement as the global reserve currency. What is more, he expressed confidence that the country would bounce back from the slump that it is in now.

 We believe that Strauss-Kahn and Manmohan Singh (whom I beleive to be an US agent to impose American econmic, diplomatic and defense strategies on Inida ) may be right in suggesting that despite the various ills afflicting the US economy, the dollar is not in a serious threat. The reason for the same is simple. Other developed nations are stuck in a recession as well and their situation is no better than the US that would warrant a change in the reserve currency, in the near future atleast. But we are also of the opinion that the dollar cannot rest on its laurels. Emerging nations such as China are increasingly displaying their might in the global arena. So, while in the medium term, the dollar's position stands secure, if the US does not find a solution to correct its deficit problem, one cannot be sure of the dollar's supremacy some years down the line

There may be not 1 but 2 US economies

Few days back I posted and raised my doubt about the fake US economic growth and now few economists are also joining the chorus.

Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini has an interesting take on the US economy. He is of the view that the official figures that point towards a slow recovery in the US are completely misleading to say the least. Infact, he prefers calling it two economies instead of one. The first one is the picture of the US economy as is painted by the official government figures. The second is the one that is still languishing in recession.



The reasons for this divergence are many. For example, official measures of GDP may grossly overstate growth in the economy. This is because they don't capture the fact that business sentiment among small firms is abysmal. As also the fact that their output is still falling sharply. The country's third quarter GDP growth if corrected for these factors may have been 2% rather than 3.5% opines Roubini. America's official unemployment rate is 10.2%. Now add in discouraged workers and partially employed workers. This figure will jump to a whopping 17.5%. Even this is excluding many other factors. Cuts in working hours, temporary forced leaves and lower wages being the key. All this and more adds to the depression in the economy that the official figures do a very bad job of capturing.

I strongly believe US economic has still the worst to witness, so what are we supposed to do in such scenario....yes....BUY GOLD!!!!!

Small US banks may have Chinese owners

Life has indeed come a full circle for the Chinese. It was only a few years back that they were snubbed by the US authorities when its home grown oil giant CNOOC made a bold US$ 19 bn bid to acquire the California based US oil giant Unocal. But that was 2005 and this is 2009. While four years may not appear too much, a lot has indeed happened on the global financial landscape. The Empire of debt that was the US has seen its power erode considerably and at the same time, China, the largest holder of its debt has gone from strength to strength.





Also, with voices getting louder in the US to stop forking out any more taxpayers' money to bail out ailing banks, it only makes sense that they get acquired by bigger entities. But since most US financial institutions in the US are not in the best of health themselves, the cash rich Chinese banks obviously seem as one of the best fit. Thus, a pact is being negotiated between the Chinese and US regulators whereby Chinese financial institutions will be given the permission to buy into small and medium sized banks in the United States.



By inviting China, the US authorities are trying to kill two birds with one stone. Helping turnaround the sick banks and at the same time sending out the message to the communists that they are indeed not averse to see a red flag fluttering at the headquarters of few of their financial institutions. After all, now is not the time to peeve one of your biggest lenders.

Gold to go only one way from here... Up!

Has the moment of truth arrived for gold prices? Are we staring at structurally high gold prices from now on till forever in the future? If the recent actions of the world's top producer of gold is any indication, you cannot help but answer in the positive to both the above questions. As per reports, Barrick Gold, the world's largest producer of gold is moving fast to completely close its hedging operations as it does not believe that gold prices could fall a great deal from here. Perhaps, the decision has a lot to do with a statement from the company's president recently that global output has been falling by roughly 1 m ounces a year (approx 33 tonnes) since the start of the decade and hence, there is a strong case to be made that we are already at 'peak' gold. And with central banks around the world also turning into net buyers of gold in recent times, supply crunch is likely to worsen a great deal more, taking gold prices even higher.





Barrick was not the only one betting on much higher floor for gold prices in the future. Marc Faber, one of the world's pre-eminent investors has also jumped on to the bandwagon. "We will not see less than the US$ 1,000 level again", he is believed to have said at a conference today in London. "Central banks are all the same. They are printers. Gold is maybe cheaper today than in 2001, given the interest rates. You have to own physical gold", the maverick investor further added.



We are of the opinion that while the case for gold looks very strong indeed, this does not mean that there is absolutely no likelihood of the yellow metal going below US$ 1,000 per ounce. For that matter, even the dollar can rally enormously from the current levels. However, the odds that both these scenarios will happen in the near to medium term is certainly on the lower side. So, while having gold in your portfolio does make sense, one should refrain from going overboard with it.

KASHMIR CRISIS: History

We Indians of the farming tribes served the British Army faithfully but the British colluded with the people of business tribes and hypocritically divided our homeland leading us into the sectarian riots and bloodshed that could be avoided.

India is the land of many tribes and is our motherland. We lived together peacefully and supported the British in the two world wars. Jatts, Pathans, Marhatta, are a few marshal tribes worth mentioning. Now, our tribal homelands are divided on sectarian basis and when we fight with each other, the West shopkeepers sell their arms into our poverty and misery. For example, the Punjab, Rajasthan, etc are the homes of the people of Jatt tribe, the best soldiers in the British Army and now we are ready to fight against each other under the sectarian banners of Sikh, Hindu and Muslim.

Religion brings in peace but when the sons of Satan, the hypocrites lead the masses, and then it leads to bloodiest of all wars. If you remember that Jesus condemned hypocrisy the most as it originates from one's heart than the moral sins, then you would understand the fruit of evil spirit or hypocrisy that became prevalent during the partition of India.

 

British are supposed to be the staunch supporters of democracy and they always send their representatives all over the world to see that the elections are fair and the flag of democracy is upheld.

But the British handed over the reigns of our country to the Congress Party dominated by the business tribes of India under the banner of Hindus and to the Muslim League also dominated by the counterpart business tribes under the banner of Muslims. Lala Mohandass Karamchand Gandhi, a Baniya by tribe represented the business tribes on one side and Lala Mohammad Ali Jinnah, a Babla Bhatia, the business tribe on the other side. There was a third person in the name of Lala Tara Singh Malhotra Khatri who came under the banner of Sikhs.

All such people were the representatives of their political organisations and none of them represented the general public as it is done in the democratically held elections. In other words, the British did not hold General Elections to pass on the powers to the democratically elected members of the Parliament but to their well-groomed stooges to create chaos and bloodshed in the country through sectarian riots. The British supported their stooges financially and unduly favoured the heads of different religious sects, so as to support the sectarian divisions among the people.

In a nutshell, the British encouraged the sectarian leaders to create chaos so that they could apply their "Divide and Rule" Policy to hold on to their Indian Empire. The business tribal people, who fought least during the Wars, benefited most from their policy whilst the village tribal people who fought bravely during the wars suffered greatest of all. In fact, the villagers were treated like the X-mass pets and they were deserted and maltreated after they had helped them win the Wars.

But every cloud has a silver lining. The demarcation of India, especially of the Punjab is right between the two great towns, Amritsar, where this holiest of Holy Temple Harmandir Sahib is present and Lahore, the capital of the Punjab where the crooks of the highest calibre live. Remember that the Holiest of Holy Temple, which used to be in Jerusalem and destroyed in 70 A.D., is the Hospital for the spiritually sick dishonest people for cleansing their heart with His Word but it became corrupt when the Owner of this House, Satguru (Christ) Tegh Bahadur Ji visited the Place but He was refused the entry and turned away. Satguru Tegh Bahadur Ji rightly cursed the town by Saying:-

"AMRITSARIYAE ANDAR SARRIYAE"

That is the people of Amritsar are dirty-hearted people and this is apparent by the corrupt practices run at this Temple. What God has to do with gold? Thus, we have dirty-hearted people on the both sides of the border and their destruction is inevitable. Destruction of the other towns would follow the general pattern more dishonest people more the destruction.

Kashmir used to be the land of the most learned Brahmins nicknamed as Guru Brahmins who in this Dark Age become Guru sons of Satan. No wonder the Sarsuts and Khatris of Kashmir on becoming Mohammadans committed the greatest of all heinous atrocities that Satguru Tegh Bahadur Ji had to lay his sacrifice to these satanic people. So, the British left Kashmir as the Bone of Contention between India and Pakistan so that both of them could tear Kashmir apart. Remember that the Mullahs from Kashmir went all over Middle East and Europe to create havoc among the people. Allah being Spirit, there are neither the beautiful girls, HOURIS nor any heaven but you rather enjoy Peace of Mind. Further, He is free of any moral laws or SHARIAH and if someone binds you in the name of God or Allah, then he is a son of Satan. That is, Islam of Allah is SHARIAH-FREE.

So, the British hypocritically divided our Motherland and that hypocrisy would definitely bear fruit as the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not forgiven.

Time of bearing this Fruit could not be assigned definitely but the year 2003 could be the possible time for the fierce fighting in India.

Punjab is the homeland of the people of Jatt tribe and this tribe, our elders said:-

            JAATRRA SAE KAATRRA APNA HI GHAR GHALAE SAE.

People of Jatt tribe are in nature to the male buffaloes, which like fighting with each other. This would happen during the Indo-Pak war when the foolish Jatts from both sides would kill each other. Jatts are well known for their generosity and foolishness.

   Another saying:-

   KOKARR ( Chicken ) KAN ( Crows ) KAMBO ( A tribe ) KABILA PAALDAE ( Look after their young ones );

JATT MAEHAN ( Jatt like the male buffalo ) SANSAAR ( Worldwide ) KABILA GHAALDAE ( Destroy each other ).

Do We Really Die?

So many times I have discussed in my previous posts that there is nothing like solidity in the universe, what we think is solid is nothing but merely the vibrations of energy, it is not easy to believe because our logical mind does not let us think this way, but this is the scientific fact, a branch of Physics called Quantum physics exclusively deals with the properties of matter and with the sub-atomic elements more precisely should be called quanta. Quanta have the both, particle nature and the wave nature.

In Order to make the subject more understandable and easier to understand here I am presenting another analogy to understand the subject:

Look at the fan, what do you see, the three blades and the vacant space between them, When a fan is made to rotate at high speed we cannot see the three blades separately. What we see is a circle going around and around. Also, the spaces between the blades appear filled. Actually, the blades move so fast that before the reflection of one blade passes our eyes the second blade is already there. Then the third blade comes just as swiftly, with the result that they follow one after the other so that we cannot see the vacant spaces between them. The fan can be made to revolve at such a speed that you can sit on it and never know that anything is moving underneath you. The space between two blades can be filled so swiftly that after one blade passes under you the second will immediately replace it; then you will not feel the empty space at all. It is entirely a matter of speed. When energy revolves at a high speed it looks like matter. The atomic energy on which our entire modern scientific research is based has never been perceived visually; only its effects are visible. The fundamental energy is invisible and the question of seeing it does not arise, but we can observe its effects.

Even a wall, which appears solid, is not so solid. It is porous and things can pass back and forth through its holes. We may be inclined to say that at least that which is around the pores must be solid, but this too is not solid: each atom is porous. If we magnify an atom to the same size as the earth we will find that there is as much distance between two components of an atom as there is between the earth and the moon or the sun and the

stars. Then we might say that at least the two components at the two ends are solid – but science says that these too are not solid; they are particles of electricity. Now science is not even ready to accept the word particle, because with that is joined the concept of matter. Particle means a portion

of matter – but the atom's components are not matter, because matter is solid and keeps its shape whereas these components are continuously changing shape. They are like waves, not particles. When a wave arises in water, before you even say to yourself, "This is a wave," it has changed,

because a wave is that which comes and goes continuously. But a wave is also a material happening, so science has coined a new word which was not there thirty years ago. The word is quanta. It is difficult to find a Hindi equivalent just as many Hindi words have no equivalents in English: for instance, the word Brahman – the cosmic reality.

Do you know how many times these wave which create the illusion of matter generate and degenerate , well 10000000000000000000000 times in a second these waves appear and disappear, take birth and die, and this can be experienced within our body, many Rishis and Sadhus have been the witness of this nature of matter, they have seen every cell every atom all sub atomic particles within. That is why they always emphasize that the materialistic world is ever changing (parivartansheel jagat), but there is one thing which never changes neither it takes birth nor it dies, it is eternal, yes, the soul, the real "I"and "I" am not the body "I" am the soul. I do not and can not die "I" am eternal.

The Fourth Dimension: Another Analogy

The other two analogies for the fourth dimension I posted earlier stated why it is hard to understand the concept of fourth dimension, but this one is about how to understand the concept.

Take a piece of paper and a pencil and now we will start with the zero dimension or the non dimensional point, which does not exist practically and mark a dot on paper representing the zero dimension. Mark another such dot on the paper; we know duality, so "two" are always required to produce anything. Now draw a line joining these two zero or non dimensional points. Now this is the one dimensional line. Now drag this line to a certain distance, you will find a two dimensional plane, now assume to drag this plane upwards, this will result in formation of a three dimensional cube, so it was too easy up here. So we can see the line joining from one end to another increases the dimension. So what about the fourth dimension, you must be wondering how to drag this cube? To find this you may search it anywhere on the web "the four dimensional cube" but it is very confusing. I would try to illustrate in the easier manner.

Well, we know that fourth dimension is "Time". So make another assumption, you are at a point X, say, at 12.00 a.m. and after 5 minutes at 12.05 am you change your position and you are at some other point the point Y. Now draw the line joining these two points X and Y. This line is of time. If you see this line at one point of time that means you are seeing your whole movement between that particular interval of time between these two points at one instant of time.

Such cameras have already been developed and are used to observe the growth pattern of embryos of many species, which show the growth of an egg to a fully developed embryo, in a single frame. Amazing!

But, we should not forget time is not linear, but circular as everything is following a circular path, like moon revolves around the earth and earth around the Sun and so on. And that is how time is calculated. So time is circular. So if we assume the point X of our birth and point Y of our death and draw a line between these two points that come out a straight line but it can't be possible, as time is circular which clearly means that we are eternal but not with our physical body . As our physical body is made up of matter and that matter do completes its own time cycle after getting merged in to the five basic elements Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. This is about our physical body, what about our own self. We got to complete our time cycle and we are the consciousness, we are nail of a wheel on which the whole wheel is rotating around and nail is just doing nothing (only witnessing). The whole universe is balanced by such nail which we call the supreme consciousness or Krishna consciousness or Shiva consciousness; we are the reflection of this universe. Many spiritual organizations like ISKCON (International Society For Krishna Consciousness) are working on this philosophy of Krishna Consciousness to awaken the slept souls, surprisingly western people look more interested in this movement rather than the Indians.



We are deluded by the wheel or the world (mithyajagat: illusionary world) and have forgotten about the real self, "nail" in this example. This is the inward journey towards the nail towards the consciousness. Once we follow this path and become one with that supreme consciousness or the Krishna consciousness we become God, the one who does nothing only "witnesses" or we can say God is like master of this time ring, the "Ringmaster". And salvation (Moksha) lies here.

The Biggest Scam Ever

Mr. X is in the steel business and he is known to the local politicians and keeps on inviting them in his parties and they are obliged by the expensive gifts by Mr. X time to time.

One day he comes to know that the Government Is granting subsidy to the local computer institutes, say the computer machines worth Rs. 10000 each are being supplied at the cost of Rs. 2000 each only. Mr. X has the great idea in his mind. He starts a new company (on papers) , "Mr. X Computer Institute" and is granted the subsidy for 10 computer machines and selling it to another local institute earning Rs. 80000 without even starting the business.

Our telecom ministry sold the spectrum license to the companies like Unitech, Swan telecom, Shyam Telecom, Tata Telecom etc. for Rs. 1651 Cr. Not to say these companies further sold the same to foreign telecom operators on the very higher rates and thus making the huge profits worth Rs. 4500 Cr. , Rs. 2600 Cr., Rs. 2100 Cr. and Rs. 1350 Cr. respectively. The license was sold to many such companies and this is the biggest scam in India ever.

Formerly in 2001 when licence was to be sold it was sold through the process of auction. And this price of Rs. 1651 cr. was fixed at that time. Amazingly our telecom minister maintained the same price of 2001, perhaps he forgot that in 2001 in India there were 3.5 million mobile phone users and now there are more than 30 cr. users in India. Perhaps he forgot Unitech is known for constructing buildings and not for providing telecom services in any part of India.

These telecom companies must be grateful to Mr. A. Raja for this lollypop worth Rs. 1651 Cr. But public want to know on what basis such licences are provided, many others may be waiting outside your office for their turn.

Sound Vibrations and Origin of Languages

Many researches have been going on how languages were originated, but researchers have not reached to any conclusion so far. Well, they have been suggesting the similarities in various languages, like Latin and Modern English, Sanskrit and Other Indian Languages and even simlarities in Sanskrit and English. But the origin of basic languages like Sanskrit, Arbi, Latin is still unknown. What is language, many words constitute to form a language. and words are the different sound vibrations, which I have already discused in my previous posts about Kundalini  lie in our body itself on the lotus petals. Sound vibrations have nothing to do with any specific religion and thesr are same for every human body and consciousness. That is why these languages are also called the divine languages (Dev-Vaani),



Petals On Chakras

Each Chakra has a particular number of petals with a Sanskrit alphabet on each petal. The vibration that is produced at each petal is represented by the corresponding Sanskrit letter. Every letter denotes the Mantra of Devi Kundalini. The letters exist in the petals in a latent form. These can be manifested and the vibrations of the Nadis felt during concentration.

Muladhara Chakra

Svadhishthana Chakra

Manipura Chakra

Anahata Chakra

Vishuddha Chakra

Ajna Chakra

The location of these Energy Centres in our body has already been descibed in one of  my Previous Post

The number of petals of the lotuses varies. Muladhara, Svadhishthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha and Ajna Chakras have 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, and 2 petals respectively. All the 50 Sanskrit letters are on the 50 petals. The number of petals in each Chakra is determined by the number and position of the Yoga Nadis around the Chakra. I will make it still clear. From each Chakra a particular number of Yoga Nadis crop up. The Chakra gives the appearance of a lotus with the Nadis as its petals. The sound produced by the vibrations of the Yoga Nadis is represented by the corresponding Sanskrit letter. The Chakras with their petals hang downwards when Kundalini is at the Muladhara Chakra. When it is awakened, they turn towards Brahmarandhra. They always face the side of Kundalini.

The Mysterious Kundalini: More about Kundalini

Manastvam Vyoma tvam Marudasi Marutsarathirasi,

Tvamapastvam Bhumistvayi parinatayam nahi param,

Tvameva Svatmanam parinamayitum visvavapusha

Chidanandakaram haramahishi-bhavena bibhrushe.



“O Devi! Thou art the mind, the sky, the air, the fire, the water, and the earth. Nothing is outside Thee on Thy transformation. Thou hast become Siva’s consecrated queen to alter Thy own blissful conscious Form in the shape of the world”.



I am afraid of the crowd waiting in the ques, hitting their heads on the walls of the temples, churches and gurudwaras for their turn to "see" the God, I am afraid of the crowd searching their pockets for coins to donate to God, I am afraid of the crowd who only tend to discuss whether Allah or Bhagwan or Jesus is superior, I am afraid of the crowd discussing about God all the time and knowing nothing, I am afraid of the crowd which is afraid of God, I am afraid of every nonsense activity going on around me.





"Because to me I am the creator, of my own destiny"

"AhamBrahmasmi"



Kundalini, the serpent power or mystic fire, is the primordial energy or Sakti that lies dormant or sleeping in the Muladhara Chakra, the centre of the body. It is called the serpentine or annular power on account of serpentine form. It is an electric fiery occult power, the great pristine force which underlies all organic and inorganic matter.



Kundalini is the cosmic power in individual bodies. It is not a material force like electricity, magnetism, centripetal or centrifugal force. It is a spiritual potential Sakti or cosmic power. In reality it has no form. The Sthula Buddhi and mind have to follow a particular form in the beginning stage. From this gross form, one can easily, understand the subtle formless Kundalini. Prana, Ahamkara, Buddhi, Indriyas, mind, five gross elements, nerves are all the products of Kundalini.



It is the coiled-up, sleeping Divine Sakti that lies dormant in all beings. You have seen in the Muladhara Chakra that there is Svayambhu Linga. The head of the Linga is the space where Sushumna Nadi is attached to the Kanda. This mysterious Kundalini lies face downwards at the mouth of Sushumna Nadi on the head of Svayambhu Linga. It has three and a half coils like a serpent. When it is awakened, it makes a hissing sound like that of a serpent beaten with a stick, and proceeds to the other Chakra through the Brahma Nadi, which is also called Chitra Nadi within Sushumna. Hence Kundalini is also called Bhujangini, serpent power. The three coils represent the three Gunas of Prakriti: Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, and the half represents the Vikritis, the modification of Prakriti.



Kundalini is the Goddess of speech and is praised by all. She Herself, when awakened by the Yogin, achieves for him the illumination. It is She who gives Mukti and Jnana for She is Herself that. She is also called Sarasvati, as She is the form of Sabda Brahman. She is the source of all Knowledge and Bliss. She is pure consciousness itself. She is Brahman. She is Prana Sakti, the Supreme Force, the Mother of Prana, Agni, Bindu, and Nada. It is by this Sakti that the world exists. Creation, preservation and dissolution are in Her. Only by her Sakti the world is kept up. It is through Her Sakti on subtle Prana, Nada is produced. While you utter a continuous sound or chant Dirgha Pranava ! (OM), you will distinctly feel that the real vibration starts from the Muladhara Chakra. Through the vibration of this Nada, all the parts of the body function. She maintains the individual soul through the subtle Prana. In every kind of Sadhana the Goddess Kundalini is the object of worship in some form or the other.



Kundalini has connection with subtle Prana. Subtle Prana has connection with the subtle Nadis and Chakras. Subtle Nadis have connection with the mind. Mind has connection all through the body. You have heard that there is mind in every cell of the body. Prana is the working force of the body. It is dynamic. This static Sakti is affected by Pranayama and other Yogic practices and becomes dynamic. These two functions, static and dynamic, are termed ‘sleeping’ and ‘awakening’ of the Kundalini.

Kundalini : The Sleeping Serpent

                                                            

There are seven energy centres in our body, they correspond to 7 colours of white light and seven regions of our physical body. Each center symbolises a lotus flower with different number of petals, which are actually the vibrations of different sounds. These sounds are the Anahata Nad which can not be spoken but can only be experienced within, Aahat Nad is the one which we hear in the external world. These centers are activated by meditation starting from Mooladhara Chakra to Shasrara Chakra, when the last chakra is opened it is the state of bliss or "Aham Brahnasmi" (I am the creator) which is the state of God. This is the state when we become one with the universe.

To reach this state we have to purify our Ida and Pingala Nadis, by performing few breath exercises then only our Shushumna Nadi gets activated, while doing this practice, energy rises upwards around our spinal cord like a serpent(thats why the name Kundalini) and produce the sounds of different vibrations, as shown in the chart below. Each petal is connected with an organ of our body and vibration of that particular organ is same as of the petal connected, Each lotus flower has Beej Mantra which is a sound of particular vibration, and by activating the chakra that vibration helps curing the organ linked in the case of any disease. These beej mantras are actually the Anahata Nad which are the vibrations within, but still most people utter such mantras from their mouth as told by their Gurujis which is a baseless phenomenon and least effective.

These chakras or energy vibrations also symbolise the story of creation in many prophecies like 7 days of creation in Bible.

Also in Mahabharata Chakravyuh of 7 doors are these chakras of which Abhimanyu failed to open the last one the Sasrara Chakra.

In Ramayana Sanjeevani Booti symbolises the art of becoming one with universe and getting the vibrations of correct frequency as required by the damaged cells need to be cured.

Once again have a look upon the Ten sefirots of Kabbalah in my previous posts, now it may be easier to understand the sefirots, because this is the similar philosophy of Jews.

The names and location, vibrations, colours associated with these chakras are shown in the table below.

Padmas, Lotuses of the Astral body		Muladhara or Adhara Chakra	Swadhishthana		Manipura	Anahata	Vishuddha		Ajna	Sahasrara
Corresponding nerve plexuses in the physical body		(Sacral) Sacro-Coccygeal Plexus	Prostatic Plexus		Solar Plexus	Cardiac Plexus	(Pharyngeal) Laryngeal Plexus		Cavernous Plexus	Pineal Gland

Kundalini Yoga - Scientific Theory

We have brain cells called neurons, there are 2 billion neurons in our brain. But actually we don't have neurons only in our brain we have 6 more energy centers in our spinal cord, these energy centers are made up of neurons, if we see, collectively all these 6 energy centers have 2 billion neurons, i.e., we have 4 billion neurons in total. But these energy centers are not used by us.

In kundalini sadhna we can activate these energy centers and can use them collectively.

There are 7 chakras (energy centers) Mooladhara, Swadishthana, Manipura, Anahat, Vishudhi, Ajnya and Sahasrara Chakra. These chakras represents Earth, Water Fire, Air, Sky, Individual Consciousness and Cosmic consciousness respectively. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (VIBGYOR)colors of these chakras respectively.

If we do kundalini sadhna and activate these chakras, we can see colors of them, and when all the chakras are activated all the colors combine and make white color, so we can see white light within.

As we know sun provides us energy necessary for life in form of white light. But after completion of knudalini sahdna we can see white light within, it means now we don't need sun's energy to survive. So if one starts living at his own, it means he is not dependent on any other external factor for survival. (so the person is eternal) Or in Kundalini sadhna it's the state of "Samadhi/Bliss". The one who attains it, may say "Aham Bhramasmi" or "I Am The God".

Ida And Pingala Nadis

Ida and Pingala Nadis are not the gross sympathetic chains. These are the subtle Nadis that carry the Sukshma Prana. In the physical body these tentatively correspond to the right and left sympathetic chains.



Ida starts from the right testicle and Pingala from the left testicle. They meet with Sushumna Nadi at the Muladhara Chakra and make a knot there. This junction of three Nadis at the Muladhara Chakra is known as Mukta Triveni. Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati dwell in Pingala, Ida and Sushumna Nadis respectively. This meeting place is called Brahma Granthi. Again these meet at the Anahata and Ajna Chakra. In the macrocosm also you have a Triveni at Prayag where the three rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati meet.



Ida flows through the left nostril and Pingala through the right nostril. Ida is also called Chandra Nadi (moon) and Pingala as Surya Nadi (sun). Ida is cooling and Pingala is heating. Pingala digests the food. Ida is of pale, Sakti Rupa. It is the great nourisher of the world. Pingala is of fiery red, Rudra Rupa. Ida and Pingala indicate Kala (time) and Sushumna swallows time. The Yogi knows the time of his death; takes his Prana into Sushumna; keeps it in Brahmarandra, and defies time (Kala—death). The famous Yogi Sri Chang Dev of Maharashtra fought against death several times by taking the Prana into Sushumna. He was a contemporary of Sri Jnanadev of Alandi, near Poona. It was he who had Bhuta Siddhi, control over wild animals, through his Yogic practices. He came on the back of a tiger to see Sri Jnanadev.

Oh God, who are You?

As we know Einstein’s theory of relativity states that E=MC2 i.e. energy can be transformed or converted in to matter and vice versa, and also we know about the dual nature of energy, the particle nature and the wave nature. That means in simple words what we are made up of is energy which is behaving as particle, and wave, both, that is why our body constantly needs energy to survive which it gets from the food and where does the food comes from, say from the plants and where do the plants get the energy from, well, from the sun, so it in simple words sun is the main source of energy for the earth, that is why many Sanyasis and Yogis can survive without food for years because they absorb the energy directly from the sun without any medium like food. So it should be clear by now that our whole body is merely the energy vibration , but if our body is energy then who are we? Well, answer lies in the Big-Bang,  but before putting light on the Big-Bang , beautiful lines by a famous shayar Shamsher Bahadur Singh:





ख्याल भी है मेरा जिस्म , गो नहीं वह मैं.

ये जिंदगी की है एक किस्म , गो नहीं वह मैं.

जो होने होने में है, मैं हूँ मेरा यकीन करो.

खुदा भी है मेरा ही इस्म, गो नहीं वह मैं.





Big bang tells about the creation of universe. According to which universe came out from the state of nothingness, but as we know according to law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed it can only be transformed from one form to another. It is pretty hard to understand the state of nothingness that is the state of timelessness until our consciousness is awakened.



Now let me tell you about our scriptures , Shiva and Shakti, Brahma and Saraswati(goddess of knowledge), Krishna and Radha, are nothing but the consciousness and energy ,which are constantly creating the illusion of this universe (mithyajagat). Is that clear now what God is. God lies within ourselves not somewhere in the sky. We are the God, but we must realise that state of being God which is also known as attaining Lakshmi, Lakshmi has nothing to do with your bank balance, Lakshmi is the universal enrichment which comes out as the automatic by-product of the internal self realisation or Amrita. I really can’t understand why few idiots pray to Lakshmi on Diwali for Money.



Just reading and not thinking is just the wastage of time. If you are only reading and not thinking what I am saying then better not to waste your time, otherwise lot more to come.

Hissar: My City

This post is dedicated to my native city Hissar. Hissar is the Farsi word and Literal meaning of Hissar is "Fort" in English and "Qila" in Hindi. Throughout the history of almost 650 years from 1354 to 2009 A.D. the city Hissar has always been in limelight. During the Medieval period, it was a great strategic point for the centre. In British times it was an important centre of the Arya Samaj and the anti-British activities.

Throughout it's history, the city of Hissar has been a point of great attraction for the country. It was and is the, the natural meeting place of Haryanvi. Punjabi, Rajasthani, Bagrri and Deswali cultures. Some of it's main features are as follows.

3. In 1960 per capita income of the town was highest in the country.


4. It is the only city of Haryana which has a Doordarshan Kendra and two prestigious universities --- Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculture University (CCS HAU) and Guru Jambeshwar University (GJU).


5. In making the Green Revolution in India a grand success, the contribution of CCS HAU is second to none in the country.


6. The city of Hissar is a great centre of steel processing in the country. Confirming this fact, even the Hindustan Times dated 8 November 2001 writes "50,000 tonnes stainless steel order for a local firm of Hissar from the U.S."

I would like to conclude with the line by a शायर:

दुर्ग फिरोज का कहते जिसे हिस्सार , कल मरुस्थल था आज हरियाणा  का श्रृंगार !!

Gold Alone Won't Take You There

Expert after expert has been shouting from the rooftops about how gold might go from strength to strength from the current levels. And it could well be justified. However, if you look at the chart of the day laid out below, you would consider buying something else. Shares in Indian companies that is. Over a really long-term period, returns from Sensex have beaten returns from gold hands down. In fact, gold doesn't even come close.

Since Jan 1990 till Sep 2009, while gold is up nearly 5-fold and just about keeping pace with inflation, Sensex is up more than 25-fold, albeit with higher volatility. Agreed that best days for gold lie ahead as the metal had barely budged in the 1990s but so do India's. While gold has historically proven to be the best bet against inflation, the chart makes it clear that making it a large part of your portfolio may not be a very good idea. To give your portfolio that extra edge, stocks are a must have.

Fourth Dimension: Another Analogy

Still many people find it hard to understand the fourth dimension, that is why they ignore this dimension of time and hence can not understand the spiritual and scientific significance of this dimension.

When I am asking you to understand the fourth dimension, actually I am asking you the experience this dimension. Here I am going to present another analogy , why it is so hard to understand the fourth dimension. Kindly read carefully.

I am somewhere lost in the ocean and find it really tough to judge, on which part of earth I am. Time hardly holds any importance for me as I am least concerned about the earth's revolution around sun. And then I ask a big fish, have you seen another world? Fish is laughing upon me and replied," There is nothing like another world".

I said, "Ok, let's just try, move upwards and keep yourself lifting upwards unless you find it."

Fish did the same and for a moment she happens to come above the water for a moment and comes down back and replied "yes I saw another world".

I asked here "what was there in that world"

She replied "nothing", there was nothing however I was amused by that nothingness and wish to go there again but my body can't survive in that world as there is nothing and I need energy for my body which I can find in this world only.

It's up to you then.

Fish decides to make another attempt but this time she goes straight as she was confident that if she goes upwards she finds another world then in case she travels in the straight direction she will definitely find another world and she leaves me.

She comes back dejected after many years and told me that moving straight did not give me any result. Perhaps this world is infinite and never ends. I knew the answer and tried to make her understand "the direction which you are calling straight or linear is actually curved and makes a circle and you keep on travelling around the globe and this journey would never end as earth is spherical and your path is not linear but circular.

She hardly understands what I told her as she had no idea of the third dimension. She can not go and even think of that third dimension.

Similar is the case of ours, we know about the third dimension but absolutely unaware of the fourth.

Always remember time is not linear but circular and that is the fourth dimension. You can not understand the fourth dimension but can only experience.

Mysterious Kabbalah....Last Part 4

Malchut

One of the deepest teachings of Kabbalah is also one of the simplest: that the world is not what it seems. As we have already explored, that which we experience as the world is actually a veil for the Infinite Oneness, the only thing that really is. Refracted through the various lenses of the sefirot, this "light" is the true structure of what is happening right now.







But what about what seems to be happening right now? A computer, a table, a person reading — are these illusion, maya in the words of another religious tradition?





In the Kabbalah's understanding, the manifest world is also Divine, but it is — using the mythic language of the theosophical Kabbalah — in exile; in a state of apparent separation; in need of unity.





There's a wise teaching that while the mind may know that all is one, the heart still experiences two. You and me; here and there; now and later — or before. And so the heart experiences a yearning which is sometimes sweet, oftentimes holy, and other times bitter and tinged with pain.





This yearning is also part of our reality. Our experience of separateness is part of our reality. And that which is present is not mere illusion: it is the Presence of the Divine, the shechinah, the tenth sefirah, also known as malchut, sovereignty.





Malchut completes the chain of the sefirot. If we imagine the first three sefirot to be an idea arising in the mind, the second three to be the stirrings in the heart as it weighs and evaluates it, and the third three to be the qualities of action that bring it into being, then malchut is its actual being; its manifestation. Yesod has gathered together all of the energies of creation — and then it creates. Malchut is the result.





In short kabalah tells us process , how will is converted in to the actions through thought and emotions. Jagatmithya Brahmsatya. (The world is illusionary “I” am the truth). Or “Ahambrahmasmi”.





This very short guided tour of the sefirot is only one of many which could have been offered. Consult another Kabbalah site, or book, and you will receive a completely different perspective. Such is the nature of the Kabbalah and its symbolism: expansive, open to interpretation, and rooted in a thousand years of polysemous texts. I have focused on the mythical, psychological and theosophical aspects of the sefirot. But I might just as well have focused on the astrological, or even the magical. Of course, another fundamental teaching of the Kabbalah is that interpretation is infinite. We are grounded in sacred text, in this exploration, and hopefully the roots of the tree are strong; but the branches extend far up and away.





The tree of the sefirot itself is only one of many symbolic structures in the Kabbalah, and to learn Kabbalah in an authentic way requires a serious playfulness, a willingness to delve deeper and deeper into these fascinating images and myths, to see where both the historical and personal truths reside.

Mysterious Kabbalah....Part 3

Netzach, Hod, and Yesod



In the Kabbalistic schema, netzach and hod balance into yesod. If tiferet is the heart center, bringing together the various emotional energies to the core of inner balance, yesod is the sexual organ, bringing together the various productive energies to the place of generativity. Recall that all sefirot have anatomical correspondences: hesed, gevurah and tiferet are right arm, left arm and heart-center; netzach, hod, and yesod are right leg, left leg, and sex organ.





In some charts of the sefirot, yesod is simply the phallus, and in many Kabbalistic texts, it does function in this way. But the situation is actually more complicated. Sexually, yesod is the conduit between male and female energy, and as such includes both male and female genitalia. Think of it in terms of generation and procreation. Yesod is where the energies come together — the Kabbalists did not have an idea of "genetic material" as we do, though it maps on quite well — and are united into manifestation, which is malchut — the last sefirah which we'll get to next. For a man, this can be understood as bringing together all the energies and projecting them out into the world. For a woman, it might be understood as bringing together all the energies so that their manifestation can be birthed

Mysterious Kabbalah....Part 2

Hesed, Gevurah, and Tiferet



The second triad in the tree of the sefirot is that of hesed, gevurah, and tiferet, or lovingkindness, judgment, and harmony. This triad is probably the easiest to understand. But to make it simpler I advise you to take the first three triads as Brahma, the creator, the second triad as Vishnu, the operator and the next three triad as the Shiva in formless state (or the shivalinga) the state just before the manifestation and the last sefirot Malchut as Ganesha. Always remember Brahma Vishnu and Mahesh are not the three different Gods but these are the three different attributes or characteristics of one God.





The dynamic relationship between hesed and gevurah can be expressed in terms of human relationship. We might suppose that all we want in the world is more hesed, more lovingkindness, and a person should try to cultivate and express as much of it as possible. Often, that may be true. But imagine a relationship in which one partner is always full of hesed, doing everything for the other partner, not caring for his/her own needs, and trying, all the time, to help, nurture, feed, support, guide, provide for, and generally love the other. Quickly, such a relationship will become dysfunctional. Eventually the other partner will form a dependence on the first one, or will feel smothered, or will yearn for self-expression and some degree of self-sufficiency. A relationship in which separateness is completely lost is not a healthy relationship. So even in the case of two lovers, gevurah — restraint, holding back — is necessary.



As I mentioned above these three triads can be easily understood as Lord Vishnu, who is the operator or the palanhar, but he is also having the kaalchakra in one hand meant for the judgement to maintain the balance that is the balance between love and judgement. Usually, what our world needs is more hesed, more lovingkindness; more extension of the self to help and nurture others. But not for the sake of hesed, but for the sake of tiferet — harmony, beauty, compassion — the place of balance between hesed and gevurah

Central banks losing faith in the US dollar

A report by Barclays has shown that governments across the world boosted their foreign currency holdings by a huge US$ 413 bn during the September quarter. Needless to say that lending to the US government accounted for the majority of it. However, here comes the shocker! A full 63% of the new money that has come in has been invested into Euro and Yen denominated assets, thus setting a new record. Well, this potentially means that central banks are losing faith in the US dollar and want to diversify their holdings. However, there’s a problem here. If they diversify too fast, they risk depreciating the dollar to unreasonable levels, a scenario which is not too ideal for their export driven economies. Hence, the process will have to be gradual. But one thing cannot be denied. As things stand today, the dollar is headed towards a continued long-term decline

Mysterious Kabbalah..........Part 1

What is the world? Who are we? What is the significance of our lives and actions? What is God? How can we come to know ultimate reality in our own experience? How do the body, heart, mind, and spirit fit together? And what are the roles of myth, ritual, Introduction, morality, eroticism, meditation, ecstasy, sacred text, and prayer on the spiritual path?



These are some of the questions asked by the Kabbalah. You probably know that, in recent years, the Kabbalah has become very popular —



Kabbalah literally means “receiving”, study of Kabbalah, like other contemplative practices, can be de-centering, even frightening. In those moments when the phenomenal world really does blink out of existence, you're left with yourself (at an intermediate stage, anyway; eventually that, too, blinks out) and your fears. This can be a very unsettling, and psychologically dangerous, place. So I think the restrictions on Kabbalah study are actually quite wise. They are there to make sure that only well-grounded people study it — because only well-grounded people can really enter the Orchard and come back in one piece, others may get disturbed psychologically like Britney Spears and Madonna in the recent times who attempted to gain the knowledge from Kabbalah.



There is no evidence when this Kabbalah was written but it took the contribution of many Jews mystics. So much of the Kabbalah is kept secret because it is meant to be revealed only to those who are capable of receiving it. Share the light with everyone, and some people will shatter, like the vessels in the Lurianic myth.

I will only explain the ten sefirots of Kabbalah. Ten sefirots are not only the map of a human but also of the universe and it secretly tells us about the creation of universe. Following is the explanation of the ten sefirots and the story of creation, read patiently:

                                                            Click to enlarge the picture

The "top" triad of the sefirot is, in a sense, the mind of God. Keter, meaning "crown," is transrational, and beyond all cognition. We can say almost nothing about it, except that it is the first stirring of what we would call "will" within the Infinite. In the world of keter, nothing exists: not "God," not the universe, only the Ein Sof, with the most subtle intention to expand into manifestation. (It's important that we keep reminding ourselves, by the way, that the spatial and temporal language of theosophical Kabbalah is analogical only. There is no before and after in this world of the Divine, and there is no near and far. Everything is now, and here; all these primordial processes are, from our perspective, constantly occurring.)



Hochmah, meaning wisdom, is like a point: no dimension of its own, but the beginning point for dimensionality. From our perspective, hochmah is that "higher wisdom" that some systems call primordial Awareness. It is the first quality to proceed from Nothingness: that Being knows. This noetic quality of the universe — that every leaf "knows" when to fall in the autumn, that every atom "knows" how to organize itself — is, for the Kabbalists, the most refined quality of the manifested world. If you'd like to imagine the emanation of the sefirot in terms of the Big Bang, hochmah is the singularity with no size, but with the "laws of nature" already instantiated. There is nothing there, but there is the Divine Wisdom which organizes all of creation.



—Binah, meaning understanding, is a kind of partner to Hochmah. The sefirot are often gendered (sometimes multi-gendered), and their interaction is often depicted as a series of erotic interchanges. In this case, hochmah is the male and Binah is female, the Divine womb, the generative principle of the rest of the universe. Binah gives birth to the sefirot, and thus to the world of manifestation itself. She is the concealed, hidden, supernal Divine mother. She is also the beginning of separation — binah is related to the words for knowledge based upon distinctions. Binah is the ocean, the many-chambered palace (note the Jungian flavor to the symbolic associations here), and womb in which Hochmah sows the seed of creation. She is the ground of space and time — not yet expanded, not yet contracted, but the principle of spatiality and temporality itself, ready to give birth to the world.



Notice also the remarkable correlations between the Kabbalah and other systems of thought. Binah and hochmah map easily onto "left brain" and "right brain" thinking, even though the Kabbalists presumably had no scientific knowledge of the brain's internal structure. I have already made an analogy to the Big Bang theory of cosmic origination. Many people suggest similarities between the tree of the sefirot and the Hindu system of the chakras, energy-centers within the body….

Keep Buying Gold on Every Decline

Gold prices are hitting new highs as investors are selling currencies and buying gold. This is the trend seen not only in the US but across the world, be it UK, China or India. According to noted economist Dennis Gartman, investors are buying into gold not on inflation fears but on a general distrust of currencies. He expects gold prices to climb higher but eventually expects the rally to end. Famed commodities investor Jim Rogers echoed similar sentiments while adding that although he believes that over long term gold prices will continue to rise, he is not investing in gold as he does not see strong fundamental reasons to invest at the current levels.

Fear and Greed

Speaking of fear, it was the rampant emotion in October 2008. Greed took over in March 2009. It's back to fear again. You might find it ironical but it is 'fear' that is driving asset prices up currently. And we are talking about all kinds of assets, ranging from stocks to gold. After the sharp rally of the past few months, investors are loading up on stocks for the 'fear' of missing out on the rally. Gold bugs 'fear' massive currency declines and are therefore gorging up on the yellow metal. Bond investors 'fear' deflation. This can be seen in rising bond yields in the US despite a considerable supply from the government.



Never before has fear felt so reassuring. Pick an asset class, and it's going up in price. All based on fear. Greed is yet to return to the markets.

Crude oil may no longer be priced in US dollars

So many senior economists of the world have been predicting that if the crude oil  is traded in the currency other than US$, that might be the cause for devaluating the dollar or even collapse of the US$.



There is little doubt that the global financial meltdown has changed the world financial order. The latest development that supports this view is the attempt of gulf oil producers to move away from pricing crude oil in terms of the US dollar to a basket of currencies instead. This move also has the support of countries like China, Russia, Japan and France. As per The Independent, these countries have already held secret meetings to discuss the same. Apparently, Brazil and India also approve of this move.





In my view, given the importance of crude oil transactions in world trade, this will dent the US dollar's role as the world's reserve currency. Other currencies, including the Chinese Yuan and gold will jointly take up that space. It means that the demand for gold will also climb.



As for the Americans, they are not going to take this development lying down. After all, it prevented the UK from joining the Euro and invaded Iraq when it moved its crude oil prices away from the US dollar. I expect a lot of muscle flexing over this issue in the days ahead.

Oooops it collapsed!

!Do not worry nothing has collapsed, just imagining : This was to draw your attention



This is human tendency to predict, good for self and worst for all: nothing is collapsed do not worry!



Almost none of us have ever witnessed the situation which is known as economic collapse in our life span, in this article I will present the picture or the scenario how the things become in case of economic collapse of any country. I will try to keep my language as simple as possible. S





So let’s see step by step how things start changing:



It starts with the rumours around like few stockists in some part of country are no longer accepting the currency notes in exchange of the stuff.



Such rumours spread very rapidly and drastically and the currency loses the value drastically, as few optimistic traders still hope the things to go better and they still accept the currency, but as their risk is too high they will definitely ask for more money (currency), say they may ask 1000 Rs. for a bread worth 10 Rs. That causes the very high inflation rate and very soon currency notes disappear from the market.



People are left only with the assets they possess and that is blessing in disguise for the stockists especially for the food and grain stockists, as food being the most essential item to live people are now forced to sell their valuable assets in exchange of some food. Emergency is declared in the country and media rights are withdrawn.



Suddenly within a few weeks people are left with nothing in their houses except the house itself and/or jewellery.



Government encourage the public to donate their gold/silver (being the essential commodity) and this is related with the spirit of patriotism, more you donate more patriotic you are.(You must have noticed such circumstances in the case of war).



Properties values decline drastically even up to 90% in few cases.



Ultimately public end up with their houses and jewellery sold or donated.



That is the beginning of social reformation



Democracy ends to form a new social structure “SOCIALISM”.



In this condition value of all the companies is evaluated (against gold) and those who have saved their gold somehow are asked to invest (not donate) their gold in the companies and will be the share holder of the company and they receive the healthy proportion of the profit made (as most of the people have lost their everything, foreigners are invited to invest), those who don’t possess gold or silver are asked to work as an employee (depending upon the qualification). Those who had very less gold may act as both the partner and the worker of the company.



Currency notes are reprinted against the gold reserve and once again currency is accepted in the market for exchanging the goods.



Though such situation is not likely to happen in India in near future, but many so called super powers like USA and economic powers like Japan are on the verge of bankruptcy, it’s up to you now how you can take advantage out of this.



POSSESS GOLD AND SILVER (the universal currency,not Dollar).

Insurance: Hunter of Greedy

18th Century, Scotland, the most pessimistic country in the world, king is deeply hurt seeing the plight of the widows of the priests of the church. He decides to help the widows and discusses with the economists. A new invention called “welfare state” comes in to existence. Idea is to collect the money from the public for some period and promise to return the received money at the end of the tenure. Money is invested in the trades and businesses and the money earned is distributed among the widows. And those who were paying the money acquire a special status in the society as being responsible for the welfare of the society, hence, both are benefitted the widows and the payers.



Second decade of 20th century, Japan, turned in to a similar welfare state. Idea is to help the unemployed, jobs in army is provided to all these unemployed and are helped by the money of the public. Life style is improved and people are becoming richer and richer, govt. earning healthy amount from the premiums accumulated. Now idea is to expand the boundaries, USA is the enemy, soldiers are killed, and money is finished.



After second world war, Japan, people are scared of sudden economic collapses, idea is to ensure you for your life(not from death but from life) and property, pension plans, social structure is improved people are living healthy and peaceful life, all businesses are growing, money earned from the premiums is gone in the infrastructure and big players of the stock markets are playing with the money with the hedged funds, but health is improved drastically, they are living by the age of 100, how to give them the pensions up till this age as thge ratio of working people with the pensioners has reached to the very serious level.



Currently, Japan, All insurance companies are on the verge of bankruptcy.



Recently, USA, many tornados like Katrina have destroyed many parts of the country, insurance companies refused to settle the claims (providing the policy documents and showing many hidden clauses which state that tornados were not in list, signed by the insured one’s), government is with the insurance companies. Money is lost paying the debts of 115 countries),Residential of New Orleans can not live in their city because their property can not be insured in that city because it is so prone to tornados, AIG declared bankruptcy but is provided the handsome bail-out package(can somebody tell me please what does “bail-out package means”) by the Govt. of USA, later people come to know 25 other companies could lead to bankruptcy in case of their debts with AIG go bad. Well, AIG was not running in loss due to the claim settlements (they didn’t settle any), but because they have sold the derivatives in the stock market.



Yesterday, Vijaynagar, India, never witnessed flood in the history, flooded badly claiming many lives and property. People mustn’t have seen the policy documents (I guess in this city they have forgotten to add “flood” in the clause), hence the claims of flood victims will not be settled, now I want to see the faces of the authorities managing the dam associated. Is there some thing wrong?



Do we want to follow or need to follow USA or Japan................. I guess...........No we don't)...............Stay Away from the insurance companies.



Insurance is like the excretory system os the whole financial system from where the fiat money is excreted
