Deadline.
Was never interested in any religion except of my own .That to ,it was limited to philosophical aspects as i wasnt too much into rituals and day to day practises.
A blow in my life taught me the efficacy of some rituals and even day to day practises ,the emotional and pshycological support they are capable of giving one in dire distress ,with the realisation that several of them were the outcome were the experiences of our forefathers in the distant past.Ancestors who understood the pitfalls life holds having lived through it and coming out of it and honed to perfection the means to overcome them.
They also understood and acknowledged desires of human beings and laid down rituals,yagas to achieve them .
During my' purdah' that is leading a inhibited life in my own house unlike in my 54 years long life ,after being scared off by auditory attacks and heckling by every one around me ,long time neighbours and total strangers and stared at too boldly by gas boys, drivers,delivery boys ,and none in the family believing it or not wanting to believe it owing to utter helplessness ,coupled with the removal of Mangalyam which was easily achieved by jamming my head for a month in 2014 and the stick and carrot messages of conversion of both minority communities blown in to my ears and slammed forehead when i was in extreme fatigue with liquids squeezed out of me the whole of a following month ,the nearby temple used to announce very loudly various advises hourly ,by first starting with Venkateswra suprabatham at 5 am and ending at 11pm .it used to play Kamakshi amman's suprabhatham at 6pm!Total disrespect to Amman /shakthi.Suprabhathum's are played in the morning to wake up the deity .Here it was played at night fall with a innuendo That this amman whose name is Kamakshi was regarded by those playing this song as godess of lust Either it was a warning for the gigolish activities or was exulting over such activities .I think it was the latter.
ok .this temple often used to deride loudly a person ,probably me who had no trust or faith as a atheist.
Yesterday i read an article on Christians philosophy in Bhavans journal .There philosophy is nearly same as ours.That is, senses have to be controlled to reach heaven and this should be accompanied by constant thoughts of god .harbouring him in one's heart.
This is like a combination of Gyana and Bhakthi yoga as is stated in Gita.Both are tough yogas .As per Vaishnavaite acharyas Bhakthi yoga is the toughest of all yogas ,yoga means the method to attain ultimate release and bliss.
Practically speaking is it possible for a ordinary person ,an householder or even extraordinarily ascetic or saintly persons to constantly think of god and only god at all times?
Then i thought of islam as Allah and some Arabic words keeps flitting in my jammed fore head whenever i bend whilst doing house hold chores specially if i bend westwards .I guess the implant activates rfid when my left ears are turned towards West.
Don't know their philosophy but know that they have to pray 5 to 6 times a day.probably to reach heaven.Am guessing that this should be accompanied by good thoughts and deeds to reach heaven.
Now this question arises ,do people of both these communities always think of god?Is it possible in day to day life? so it means that most of them will never go to heaven .The main thing is that they have a deadline .They have to be god fearing and love god in this life time , otherwise only hell awaits them .Maybe this explains the stress on absolute faith .
Hindus also stress faith in gods But we have no such deadlines.Mahabharta ,Ramayna and earlier stories quoted in these epics are full of accounts of sages who have taken 40 and more births.An example is that of a sage advising Yayathi about mokham ,the king who wanted eternal youth and got it who enjoyed life and,saw generations of his descendants and finally got tired of it,,was himself [the sage] at the point of gaining release after 49 births!
Aazhwar means one who is totally immersed in bhakthi or devotional love for god.Andal is a aazhwar of 9 the cent AD.She had devoted her life from her birth to her passing away at 16 years in total devotion to Bhagwan which ought to have and could have facilitated her attaining Moksham, but she herself in one of her hymns entreats Govinda to allow her to be of service to him in all her succeeding 7 into 7 births thus candidly admitting to her limitations of attaining eternal bliss in a single birth!
So if we let go of the good oppurtunity given to us in this birth to strive and attain Moksham ,[ human birth is considered as being the highest form of birth in the eternal cycle of birth and death and birth],we can try for it in the next or the next and the next births and so on .
Does this deadline of a single birth also explains the need to convert ?The hurry to do so seen positively from thier angle to make as many people as possible in one's own lifetime and others in thier lifetimes to attain heaven?
Now why should i leave such a comfortable and flexible religion that gives me so much time . minimum 7 into 7 births which equals 49 births which equals to 4900 years , for another , that has limited the time to mere 100 years to attain eternal bliss?
Actually those who are bent on converting me [this is directed only against my harrasers ,my middle class neighbours and friends and not to others who are in no way involved in this dirty conversion attempts through no touch sex and brain washing ] should convert them selves to Hinduism and lead a relaxed life without any deadlines .
Since i see only a lot of people from lower strata doing this non stop work with great gusto and determination i assume that they are not averse to the sensual freedoms that women have in thier religion and society like remarrying after widowhood or talakor enjoying several wives at the same time.They will have to let go off all this and hope for better luck and enjoyment in succeeding births.

It is amazing how despite so many people reading my blogs ,i have 3 lakh and 20,000 profile views not a single person has come forward to show their support to me to help me tide over this rfid enabled conversion ,even as a comment . i suppose it is the typical mentality of hidus viz indifference and fear of entanglement .I am also of similar mindset Did it bother me when Pandits were chased out of Kashmir with similar threats ?No .It was just a news.To me then Jand K is somewhere far off and to many Tamilnadu must be somewhere faroff and my problems a interesting Sunday read But i remember that my hub was furious and is still furious. Karma has caught with me.
It is also amazing how my blogging about conversion etc has not deterred those who are at it ,namely Muslim s.Aern't they scared of some sort of reactions or of some backlash from Hindus the majority community that sorrounds them? Were the kashmiris scared of backlash when they drove thousands of hindus out of thier property? .It seems ,not.Same case here .Indifference of hindus and appeasment policies of politicians is sheilding and emboldening them to go on unruffled with the nasty dirty activities that is doubly blessed viz -religious duty +conniavance of authorities. .
