Secularism

Secularism - [World History]

The view that the present well-being of mankind should predominate over religious considerations in civil or public affairs is termed secularism. In common usage, the term means indifference to or rejection of religious ideas. Secularism has increased in the 20th century as more people worldwide have exercised their right to choose whether to worship in an organized religion. It has seemed to coincide with "modernization" of societies through industrialization and urbanization; traditional, conservative, and rural societies have tended to resist secularism and remain bound to their religious affiliations. It has caused some traditions to change. Until relatively recently in the United States, all stores and businesses were closed on Sunday, a day reserved for religious celebrations. Today, shopping centers and other businesses are open. Some view this as an example of secularism.

My Defination of DHARM

I define Dharm as a kartavya for and aastha in any thing. If you believe in a stone and start doing seva as vaishnav's do to krishna's murti,you start feeling the emotions for that piece of stone or murti, which we describe as a pranpratishtha...this is what make us Insaan instead of robot. Only this Aastha, Prem,Karuna,sneh bhav..can make world free from hatred, jealously, bloodbath... !!!

Why our country is speacial?

Our country is speacial because of its diversity, we all are so different from each other but united. It is a COMPOSITE society where we all belong to different states, different castes,different religion, different strata or financial background. We have different, eating habits, dress, traditions, language,thinking, climate, topographical situation, crops...so many things...still we are united and live with love, effection and respect. We always did as, history has proofs, so many civilizations created and destroyed, so man
y dynasties invaded us, ruled us, tried to dystroy us,but finally get absorbed. Their impact is still on us as we are large hearted multiculutured society, which has seen ups and downs in so many years but survived and thrieving, as IQBAL rightly said, QUA BAT HAI KI HASTI MITATI NAHI HAMARI, SADIYON RAHA HAI DUSHMAN DAURE ZAMAN HAMARA. SARE JAHAN SE ACCHA HINDUSTAN HAMARA. We have lots of responsibilities on us as in history its we who shown paths to the whole world, whether as rulers or as spiritual dharm gurus...or in many other fields.

contemporary indian values.

I Think mixture of Mordernity and traditional thinking is contemporary indian values.

Let me explain it, in my view,mixed version of mordernity and traditional thinking means, if you donot follow any tradition or western concepts mindlessly.If you think universally,logically and do scintific interpetation of things, understand what is right and wrong for you and society as society has some norms and we are a social animals.For example- even Ayurveda, yoga, ved, upnishad, Ramayan, mahabharata,Panchtantra...has its value if we take benificial things out of it or interpret things scintifically and weed out wrongs like supertitions bad traditions etc.., as some people say -apne suvidha ke mutabik sochna. But If I say it in one line, its a doha- SAR SAR GAHI KARE, THOTHA DE UDHAYE.

Inventor:

A person who makes an ingenious arrangement of wheels, levers and springs, and believes it civilization.

~Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

Once upon a time we were just plain people. But that was before we began having relationships with mechanical systems. Get involved with a machine and sooner or later you are reduced to a factor.

~Ellen Goodman, "The Human Factor," The Washington Post, January 1987

I think I should not go far wrong if I asserted that the amount of genuine leisure available in a society is generally in inverse proportion to the amount of labor-saving machinery it employs.

~E.F. Schumacher

The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.

~Karl Marx

I like my new telephone, my computer works just fine, my calculator is perfect, but Lord, I miss my mind!

~Author Unknown

The drive toward complex technical achievement offers a clue to why the U.S. is good at space gadgetry and bad at slum problems.

~John Kenneth Galbraith

It is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.

~T.S. Eliot, about radio

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation...tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.

~Jean Arp

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.

~Richard P. Feynman

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
~Albert Einstein

All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.

~Mark Kennedy

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

~Elbert Hubbard, The Roycroft Dictionary and Book of Epigrams, 1923


(Does use of technologies in larger scale is correct in devoloping countries like us where, the lack of proper electricities, illetracy, unemployment and poverty is more than in numbers, In comparison to what is in western devoloped countries???.....here more machines means more efficiencies,faster work,more output, but at the same time more unemployment and poverty. Ain't firm steps in a faster pace needed to balance it, so that whole country grow faster together....VIBHA)

Poverty is the worst form of violence.

Gandhi was once asked what he thought about western civilization. His
response was: "I think it would be a good idea."

Government

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?

God

As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.

Truth

The moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted.

GANDHIJI ON CRICKET

I can understand matches between Colleges and Institutions," remarked Gandhi, "but I have never understood the reason for having Hindu, Parsi, Muslim and other communal Elevens. I should have thought that such unsportsmanlike divisions would be considered taboo in sporting language and sporting manners."

Sadly, the forces that favoured the continuation of the Pentangular were also strong and well organised. So, despite the Mahatma's opposition, the tournament was played on until 1946, by which time the creation of Pakistan was a fait accompli. Neither cricket nor Gandhi could stop it.

Postscript: It was said of Gandhi that he was a saint who wished to become a politician. I like to think that he was also a philosopher who wished to become a humourist. On one occasion, cricket was the subject of his wit. When Vijay Merchant's sister Laxmi asked for his autograph, Gandhi chose the page of her book containing the signatures of the 1933-34 M.C.C. team, selecting himself as its 17th member.

WELCOME TO CWG AND SPORTSPERSONS HERE....GOOD WISHES!!!

Your opponent, in the end, is never really the player on the other side of the net, or the swimmer in the next lane, or the team on the other side of the field, or even the bar you must high-jump.

Your opponent is yourself, your negative internal voices, your level of determination.

--Grace Lichtenstein American Writer & Editor

dedicated to my sweet daughter Aditi.

I was told over and over again that I would never be successful, that I was not going to be competitive and the technique was simply not going to work. All I could do was shrug and say 'We'll just have to see'.

--Dick Fosbury won an Olympic gold medal at the 1968 Mexico City Games after he invented a revolutionary high-jump technique.

CHAK DE INDIA

"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Winning Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory.

Mahatma Gandhi:

“I don't know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.”

Richard M. Nixon quotes (American 37th US President (1969-74), 1913-1994)

“I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.”

Amandajean1109 Mia Hamm quotes (American female Soccer Player. b.1972)

“Sports do not build character. They reveal it.”

John Wooden quotes (American , b.1910)

Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.

Herodotus

Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.

Fred Perry

Dedicated to dear Sudhirji.

Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.

Paul Bryant

The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.

The trouble with referees is that they just don't care which side wins.

~Tom Canterbury

Sports is human life in microcosm.

~Howard Cosell

Every sport pretends to a literature, but people don't believe it of any other sport but their own.

~Alistair Cooke

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

~John Madden

If only Hitler and Mussolini could have a good game of bowls once a week at Geneva, I feel that Europe would not be as troubled as it is.

~R.G. Briscow

I always turn to the sports section first. The sports page records people's accomplishments; the front page has nothing but man's failures.

~Earl Warren

“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.”

Michael Jordan quotes (American NBA Basketball Player, widely considered to be the greatest player in the history of the game, b.1963)

“In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept destructive criticism. Without 100% dedication, you won't be able to do this.”

Wilson Mizner quotes (Playwright, 1876-1933)

“When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to climb.”

Patanjali quotes

LATE SHRI SHATRIJI'S JAYANTI Jai Jawan Jai Kisan a lost slogan

on the eve of gandhi jayanti

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

Mohandas Gandhi

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

Mohandas Gandhi

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

Mohandas Gandhi

A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

Mohandas Gandhi
