    That night, in Nanda’s humble home


    We knew this day was coming.

    We ‘d discussed this earlier and we had been waiting…for what had seemed like an eternity.

    Still, I find it hard to believe that the dark skinned baby is in my arms.

    He, my brother-in-law, looks at the baby one last time, as he is reluctant to leave.

    Independence Day

    A very happy Indian independence day to all Medhavis.

    Let’s us salute all the men and women who sacrificed their all so that we’d see this day, the brave men and women who guard our borders today, and also the uniform-less warriors of the country , our brothers and sisters who fight the battle of life despite a severe lack of resources.

    Let’s salute the spirit of Bharat.

    Happy Independence day !!!

    "Gong" (pronounced gung, as in lung) means the skill of working with, or cu...

    Buddhism and the concept of self

    Introduction

    I have been recently reading Digha Nikaya and Samyutta Niyaka, the Buddhist Pali scriptures. One reason for reading it is to see for myself what Buddha says about the self and rebirth, at least as recorded in the Buddhist Pali scriptures. Buddhist position seems to me to be contradictory.

    "The Earth today is in imminent danger ".. those are not just the words of eco-warriors any more but the considered opinion of most eminent scientists studying climate change and it's effects. It is becoming increasingly obvious that nothing short of a complete planetary level Global rescue will save it from an environmental cataclysm of dangerous climate change induced by human growth. The evidence is all around one, if one's eyes are open.

    It is time we stopped the heedless pillage and plunder of Mother Earth's finite resources and learned to live in harmony and balance with Her. We owe it to our future generations. Paraphrasing from the Native American proverb - "We do not just inherit the earth from our ancestors, we also borrow it from our children."

    The first step to that, is Education in 'Bhoomi Dharma'
    (the Dharma -right thing to do, for Bhoomi -Mother Nature)

    This section features environmental issues: from sustainable development, to global warming, alongwith other current issues that affect all of us - from what we do, to what we don't do and what we should be, and should Not be doing!!
