Peter has a Point, At all like Prohumanity, Stop Lecturing Others, First of All You quit Your own Country and Ran off for Material Pleasures and then dont give Gyan to those who reside in India.Peter////Peter///rossogulla eater.....Reading the Hindu scripture and living a life based on them two different things......It seems to me that you are a self hating Hindu...who is brainwashed to believe that western culture is perfect . It is important to have food,shelter and basic necessities but then there is MORE which Hindu core belief provide.
Yes, i am living a life of material comfort in US but that makes me even more convinced that materialism id NOT enough. If you are a Hindu Bengali ..say with pride and confidence that I am Hindu and believe in oneness of human race...I believe that God resides in each of us..Bengali, Punjabi, Russian or American...In the end we are all part of God.
It seems you have read and memorized Hindu scriptures but failed to absorb the most basic tenets of Hinduism in your life
You say"you will show kindness to Bengali like me" '''''Kindness...? I have utmost respect for Bengalis like you...I was delivered by a Bengali Midwife and I love everything Bengali..not only Sondesh and Rossogulla. Calm down my dear....India is great...a mystical land with amazing depth of thinking....
materialism is NOT enough....once you have things...you need some thing greater...In Hindi..we have two words...SUKH =physical comfort and then
ANAND= emotional satisfaction and contentment.
There is no need to be pundits of Veda.....basic truth are simplest..love and compassion for all human beings..(Vasudev Kutambam) Seems you have become a parrot who can recite slokas of Vedas but is unable to implement simplest truths of Hindu culture in life. Peter....you chose the name because you are impressed with Christianity and Peter sounds to you like a modern, Christian name ...You don't have guts to say "I am syama Prasad Mukhopadyay" because you might be suffering from self hatred. Ponder on this...I respect you and love you...I hope you don't feel offended.
I myself, kicked off an Offer from US, to stay in India, to contribute towards having a better Bharat, in whatever ways. There are many sacrifise involved in it. Its very easy sitting in a foreign country and saying Blah Blah about Diversity and what should be done in India and what Not. Just quit Your Job and come to Bharat and then say those things.
