Bharat Darshan – “Proud to be an Indian”

The post centers on the significance of Rani Padmini of Chittorgarh as a symbol of dignity, pride, and courage for India. Her act of self-immolation in defense of her honor and the preservation of her essence inspires great pride among Indians. The author, Dr. R. Rudra Narasimham, a veteran of the Indian Army and a student of Indian history, discusses his personal experiences, underscoring the exemplary courage exhibited by the Indian army. He expounds on the concept of “essence and existence,” defining man’s essence as what he intrinsically is and existence as his actions. He attributes Rani Padmini’s victory over death to her defending her essence while dissolving her physical existence.

Bharat Darshan – The two-sides of Gandhi’s Leadership

This piece critically examines Mahatma Gandhi’s leadership in India’s struggle for independence and partition. Gandhi is celebrated for nonviolent resistance, yet the author assesses whether his “ahimsa” principle neglected the right to self-defense, especially during violent clashes during partition. The author argues that Gandhi’s response to proposals for partition, India’s subsequent violent separation, and ensuing mass displacement indicate failed leadership. Moreover, the piece re-evaluates the roles of Gandhi, Nehru, and Jinnah during this period. It suggests they lacked authority to accept partition, accuses them of abandonment for not ensuring partition’s peaceful implementation, and questions their underlying adherence to non-violence, citing violence’s necessity for justice and protection.

Bharat Darshan -Gandhi’s Recipe for Self-Defense

This article explores Gandhi’s views on self-defense and violence, focusing on the contrasts in his stance for Muslims and Hindus. Gandhi made a clear distinction between violence imposed by Muslims, who he believed had the right to use force as part of their religious duty, and that endured by Hindus. He advocated for non-resistance by Hindus even under violent attack. Prominently, Gandhi supported the violent Khilafat Movement against the British and Hindus, advocating Muslim dominance despite backlash from some Congress members. Conversely, he disapproved of figures like Subhash Chandra Bose seeking India’s freedom through force.

Bharat Darshan – The Experience of Pain, Humiliation, and Loss of Face is Predestined

Yes Indeed, Life is Complicated. Willingly no one chooses the Yoke of Slavery. The complexity of Life is about the choices we make. Sometimes, the pursuit of Freedom can come with the trappings of Slavery. The Rudolf-Rudi Connection explores the doctrine of Predestination to account for the living experience of pain, humiliation, and loss of face by the Yoke of Slavery

Whole Dude studies Whole Existence which includes the past birth, the present birth and rebirth

I coined the phrase Whole Existence to examine the complexity of Time and Life interactions. Life is always derived from previously existing Life and Life by its very nature has the ability to reproduce and perpetuate its existence displaying its inherent capacity for a future existence or future Life.

Yes indeed, Life is Complicated. The complexities of Life involve exploring the phenomenon of Life in which the events called Birth and Death occur during the Cyclical Flow of Time and Life whereas in reality Time moves forwards in a Straight Line like an Arrow. The Study of Life must include the concepts of Past Birth, Present Birth and Rebirth.

Sixth-Day Adventist seeking Refuge in God for I am nailed to the Cross to get to the Final Destination

For I describe myself as an alien, I bear the burden of the Cross as I painfully march towards my earthly destination and when the struggle finally reaches its conclusion, at the ninth hour, I ask myself, “My God, my God, Why have You forsaken me.”

Sixth Day Adventist celebrates Whole Communion on Wednesday, July 26, 2023

In my view, the bread and wine partaken in remembrance of Christ’s atoning death cannot be viewed as man’s participation in the Sacrifice and man has no ability to offer himself to atone his own sins. Between man and God, the relationship demands a new basis, a new Law, and a new Covenant.
