10-hour power cuts in Gurgaon, Millenium City

For the last two months, electricity supply in Gurgaon has been hit badly, and long hours of power cuts are the norm. Gurgaon demands 1000 MW power every day, but is getting just 700 MW per day, leaving the city powerless for 8 to 12 hours every day. No power means no water and leaving the Millennium City not only in the dark but grappling with one of its worst ever water crisis.

Now a day, lots of Indian engineer students become thefts for satisfying expenses of their girl friends. Such students should realize that these types of girl are just using their cash for their enjoyment. They do not love them acutely. They are nowadays with you until you are fulfilling their expenditure. When they realize that you have no extra cash, they will try to leave you as soon as possible.

Reality of All Religion

Just because I do not go to a temple or a church. Just because I do not follow rituals, customs and traditions. Just because I do not pray regularly and beg for mercy to God. Does not make me an atheist and those who think so does not understand religion and God at all.

My relationship with God has nothing to do with temples and churches, those religious books and rules written ages ago which others are still blindly following it without understanding them. 

Everything has been evolved... mankind, people, world... but not religion.

It has become stagnant and now it stinks. It needs to flow like a river to a sea of deep understanding, merge, evolve and grow.

I am not religious. I am spiritual. I do not pray to God and do confessions to make new mistakes. I speak to him as a friend. It’s a heart to heart understanding and do not feel the need of any temple to meet him. He lives with me in my heart as Krishna as Jesus as my own self.

I do not fear Him. I love Him. I speak to Him, fight, laugh, cry, enjoy with Him as a friend, I do not have any fear for hell and no greed for any heaven. Heaven is here now. I live for this moment with him.

Awareness against Black Magic

This paper print is a good example of some people who earn moneys by just fooling superstitious nature of Indian People. Some Pandit and Tantric fool many innocent and unqualified people for their incomes. Even many highly educated people (Doctors or researcher) also believe in black magic or superstitious opinion. These people have mostly family problem or health problem. But, for solving their problem, they go to Tantric. As result, their problems become more worst if they do not cure it in proper ways in time. I have heard some spiritual speech of some Sants like Babuji (Ahmedabad Ashram) etc. They encourage their follower to avoid educational study or scientific study in compare to spiritual knowledge (Brahm Vidya). They says normally in their satsang that "Rich people dies more because of over-eating and poor people dies much low (due to hunger) as compare to rich population because Almighty (God) manage foods for all living life on this earth." But I believe that many hundred Indian farmer or poor people are dying because of poverty daily. I am not against any Spiritual Guru. But, I want to say that meditation is also a Science. You can not find God (spiritual power) without proper knowledge of meditation. I suggest to all Indian that they should read science deeply for knowing everything about nature and human bodies. I believe that scientific knowledge of foreigner bachelor students is much higher than Indian university professors (PhD holder). Even, in MSc or Phd Classes, some lecturers do not teach their course probably. Mostly Indian students just mimic their syllabus course before exams for getting good marks in paper. As a result, the scientific knowledge of Indian student is much low as compare to students of developed countries. It gives result that new degree holder Indian students do not have any tendency to develop new concept in business model or scientific inventions as compare to America. I do not feel any surprised that why not any Indian student had never started any new companies like Apple, Google or Facebook after passing out their degree (Totally Original Concept). Reason is clear that our degree course is much outdated and Indian student limit their knowledge to their course books just. I have seen many Tantric in real life in my childhood. If I got proper spy gadgets, I will try to upload their videos on some social websites for creating awareness among all innocent Indian. In India, you can found many “Mata ki chokies” or Hanuman sidhi holder people in each cities or villages. Some can have real spiritual power due to active seventh charka. But, many thousand people in one Indian State can not claim to retain such spiritual power (As, it require much honesty and disciplines), so they are just pretending to get such spiritual powers. So, I suggest all people to solve their problem by consulting better specialist (like Doctor or Consultant) rather than such Tantric.
