‘ वानर’—IN RAMAYANA

Image
  ‘ वानर ’—IN RAMAYANA SARASIJ MAJUMDER On my 10 th Birthday, my Father presented me the Holy Book—‘Ramayana’—in BENGALI , POET KRITTIBAS OJHA translated it from Valmiki Ramayana. And I read it in the week end,  —about 550 pages, mostly written in “POYAR” metric. Valmiki Ramayana,   as we get it today, is composed with 24,000 Verses in seven Cantos. I also read that, Later. My late mother—a Sanskrit scholar, had a copy. It is an ‘EPIC’, having “history’ and “mythology’ interwoven with threads of Allegory—and laced/ ornamentally decorated with imagination of ‘Poet’,   which is a poetic license. That too-may be by more than one Poet. Britishers, and Europeans discarded it as a Mythological Epic. Indians worshipped Rama, and his allies, and hated the oppositions. Very few people tried to integrate the ‘TEXT’ of Ramayana with other informations, and tried to segregate the ‘HISTORY’. I try to explain below one aspect of ‘RAMAYANA’. ‘ वानर ’ are the warrio...

OPERATION SINDOOR ||| ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

  UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In a poem titled   ‘ বিদায় অভিশাপ ’—(FAREWELL CURSE)--, Tagore wrote: ........ রমণীর   মন   সহস্র বর্ষেরই   সখা সাধনার ধন । । [ ( To understand) Mind of a woman, my dear, ||You need a devotion of thousand years. ]—- Translation is mine. In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas. When the darkness of evening started falling upon us, he told me: “….Mate—I understand Machines, Horses, Dogs…...

  RISHI,MUNI,SADHU,GURU SADHAK,SANNYASI,YOGI SARASIJ MAJUMDUR In our country, all the persons listed above are not generally differentiated much, by us. Writers also, somewhat loosely used the nomenclatures in their writings. Though they have many commonalities, each one   of them is different, in their PRACTICE,   PURPOSE OF LIFE, AND LEADING   THE LIFE.   We will discuss about them, with the basic differences, in short. The one thing common about them is- that all of them are ‘Spiritual Persons’, and carry the higher form of ‘Sanatan Dharma’, or ‘Hinduism’—as we may understand easily. 1.0   RISHI: He is connected to, and composer of   VEDA, Vedanga, Vedanta--or Knowledge. There are a few higher stratas as well e.g. MAHARSHI (KANWA), RAJARSHI (King Janaka), DEBARSHI (NARODA),   ‘SHRUTORSHI’—who learned, and remember VEDAS by hearing, e.g. Vasishta; or only ‘Rishi’-e.g. Gautama.   There are 18 ‘VEDABYASAS’—and all are ‘MAHARSHIS’. ...
