This Israeli Man Left His Job, Came To India And Transformed 70 Acres Of Barren Land Into A Forest
It was in 2000, Israeli citizen Aviram Rozin first visited India. Wanting to get lost in the forest and greenery in India, Rozin was pained and shocked to see the rapid deforestation across the country. umission.org Wanting to do something to protect the forests, Rozin along with his wife Yorit and daughter Osher moved to India in 2003. They family bought some 70 acres of barren land in Auroville, Tamil Nadu and started slowly transforming it. umission.org With the help of local volunteers, the planted the barren land with seeds of endangered plant specious and edible plants. umission.org In the next 13 years they transformed the place into a a forest, teeming with life and greenery. auroville auroville Today the ‘Sadhana Forest’ founded by the trio has developed into a bustling eco-friendly settlement with thatched houses, wind pump, solar powered LED lighting, compost toilets and vegan kitchen with energy efficient stoves. Some 18000 indigenous trees have been planted so far on 70 acre mostly eroded land. umission.org Sadhana Forest More than 150 young volunteers from all over the world live in the settlement at any given time planting trees, building bunds and experiencing a simple ecologically conscious life. After tasting success in India, Rozin has taken his Sadhana Forest model to countries like Haiti and Kenya where he get the local community to grow forests. Sadhana Forest Sadhana Forest The mission at first was to plant trees. Now the mission is also to support people in terms of growing food on trees. We are also supporting the learning and transformation of young people that come to volunteer – which are many. Sadhana Forest has evolved into something more than we expected – which is beautiful, said Rozin who calls the volunteers, his family.
SERVE THE NATION – SERVE THE SOLDIER WHO FIGHTS FOR YOUR COUNTRY
SERVE THE NATION – SERVE THE SOLDIER WHO FIGHTS FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
In September 1969, I joined the Indian Army Medical Corps to serve the soldier who fights for my country. I am pleased to share Brigadier Gurmeet Kanwal’s tribute to the Indian Soldier.
The Indian soldier is a role model for the people of India. Scrupulously honest, positively secular, completely apolitical, with an ethos of working hard, simple needs and frugal habits, he is the epitome of courage and unflinching devotion to duty. More than any other group or community in the country, the Indian soldier embodies and represents the idea of India.
In hail, sleet and snow, in icy blizzards and pouring rain, he stands sentinel over the nation’s borders in the high Himalayas. He maintains a silent and lonely vigil along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). He has held the Saltoro Ridgeline west of the Siachen Glacier, the highest battlefield in the world, for almost 30 years and denied the adversary the opportunity to alter the Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL). He has repeatedly shown his mettle while meeting the Chinese challenge along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with Tibet.
From the snow-clad and wind-swept mountains of the Himalayas in the north to the steaming hot and humid jungles of the seven sisters in the north-east and the shimmering sands of the burning Thar Desert in the west, he never lowers his guard. Along the LoC, he braves daily spells of intermittent small arms and mortar fire from a wily enemy. Sometimes he lives through many days of heavy artillery shelling when the very earth around him shakes ominously. Despite the omnipresent danger, hardships, and privations of life on the nation’s troubled frontiers, he stands tall and firm. Stoic and resolute, his courage never wavers, his spirit never flags.
Guardian of the Frontiers
He stopped the rape of Baramulla by Pakistani Razakars in 1947 and saved Srinagar from a similar fate. He took tanks to the 12,000 feet high Zoji La pass in 1948 to push back Pakistani invaders. In a battle that has gone down in military history as the ultimate example of courage under fire, he fought to the last man and last round at Rezang La, near Chushul in Ladakh, in 1962. He stood fast against the Chinese at Walong. He fought off the Chinese despite being ill-clad for a winter in the high Himalayas and being armed with World War II vintage .303 rifles.
He smashed Pakistan’s Patton tanks at Asal Uttar in 1965. He stormed the invincible Haji Pir citadel. At Nathu La in 1967 and at Wangdung in 1986, the glint of his bayonet made the Chinese blink. In 1971, he raced across the Sunderbans to liberate Bangladesh and gave back to the oppressed Bengali people their freedom and their dreams. His naval counterparts sank the Gazi and left Karachi burning. The tiny Gnats of his air force colleagues flew rings around Pakistan’s Sabres and Starfighters that had been gifted by America.
In 1999, his indomitable courage in the face of daunting odds and steadfast devotion to duty triumphed over Pakistan’s regular soldiers entrenched on the mountain tops on the Indian side of the LoC in Kargil district of J&K. As the world watched in awe, he manned his guns unflinchingly under the very nose of the enemy and, firing in the pistol-gun ‘direct fire’ role, he blew every bunker on Tiger Hill and half a dozen other mountain tops to smithereens. He took back every mountain inch-by-bloody-inch. His unparalleled valor inflicted another crushing defeat on the perfidious enemy.
Role in Nation Building
His role in nation building has been outstanding. He spearheaded the effort to integrate Junagadh (1947), Hyderabad (Operation Polo, 1948), Goa (Operation Vijay, 1961) and Sikkim (1975) with the Indian Union. He participated in the interventions in the Maldives and Sri Lanka at the behest of the governments of these countries and was ready to do so in Mauritius. He evacuated beleaguered Indian citizens from some of the world’s most dangerous war zones: Iraq (2003), Lebanon (2006), Egypt, Libya and Yemen (2011), Ukraine and Syria-Iraq (2014) and Yemen (2015).
For many decades in the northeast and since 1989-90 in J&K, he has fought insurgents and mercenary terrorists unleashed by the country’s enemies to destabilize India. He has been ambushed, fired upon with machine guns, made the target of land-mines and has been tortured and killed in cold blood by ruthless Islamist fundamentalists sent to wage a war through terror on India, but has never wilted. He has quelled communal and political riots and police revolts. In all the internal security challenges confronting India, he has never struck back in anger even in the face of the gravest provocations. In fact, while fighting with one hand tied behind his back, he has given a new meaning to the term ‘use of minimum force’.
He is called out regularly for flood relief all over the country. He has removed bodies buried under the rubble of earthquakes at Latur and Dharchula and landslides at Kedar Nath and other places in the Kumaon Hills. He coped with determination in the aftermath of the South East Asian Tsunami in December 2004. He has risked his life in cyclonic storms in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh to bring succor to his suffering countrymen. He has often provided essential services during strikes. He has taken medical aid to remote corners of the country. He has braved epidemics and plagues. He has quelled communal disturbances and riots. He has participated in peace-keeping operations and earned the gratitude of beleaguered people from Korea to the Congo, from Kampuchea to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Flag Bearer
Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian and belonging to many other faiths, he prays, eats, lives, plays and fights for India together with his brothers in uniform. He is positively secular in that he not only tolerates other religions but also participates in their rituals and observes their customs and gets immense joy from celebrating their festivals. He has evolved the concept of a dharmasthal where the idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are installed side by side with the Guru Granth Sahib and soldiers of all religions pray together. On Dussehra, all soldiers participate with folded hands and bowed heads in Shastra Pooja regardless of their religion.
In many remote corners of the country, he is the flag bearer. He represents the government of India. Whenever he goes on leave to his village and when he finally retires, he spreads the message of nationhood and a disciplined way of life in all corners of the country. He has done more to knit India together than all the pompous politicians with their pseudo-national integration programmes and high-sounding slogans.
Often reviled, mostly ignored, sometimes venerated, he has taken it all in his stride. He has never complained. He has stood by the nation through thick and thin. He has held the nation together for 68 turbulent years. In the cesspool of filth, squalor, and corruption in public life, he alone stands apart like is a shining lotus. His life is one of honor, glory, and sacrifice – of life and limb. His blood has sanctified the nation’s battlefields.
For our tomorrow, he willingly, selflessly, unpretentiously, gives his today, but asks for nothing in return. Apolitical by nature, he knows he will get nothing from uncaring politicians and scheming civil servants. If he frets about anything at all, it is about the national leadership’s callousness in failing to erect a befitting war memorial to commemorate the supreme sacrifice made by his fallen comrades. He is troubled that his brothers-in-arms who laid down their lives have remained “unwept, unhonoured and unsung”. But, even here he draws comfort from the famous poem ‘The Bivouac of the Dead’: “On fame’s eternal camping ground, their silent tents are spread; and, glory guards with solemn round, the bivouac of the dead.”
He has truly lived up to Lord Krishna’s exhortation: “Reward is not thy concern.” For him, duty is the most supreme religion – the only one he professes (Seva Parmo Dharma).
He gives so much, gets so little in return, and yet serves with a smile. He is the quintessential Indian who has knit India together. If there is some truth in the phrase “Kuchh Baat hai jo hasti mit-ti Nahin Hamari” (there is something about us that we cannot be destroyed), it is because of his indomitable courage and his immeasurable sacrifices.

I have a special reason to remember the Six Day Arab-Israel War of 1967 and Yom Kippur War of October 1973. I served in the Unit named South Column, Hq Establishment No. 22 (Special Frontier Force-Vikas Regiment) during Bangladesh Operations of 1971 when India initiated the Liberation of Bangladesh with military action in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Lieutenant Colonel B K Narayan, the Regiment of Artillery of Indian Army was my Unit Commander. Prior to joining the South Column of Special Frontier Force in October 1971, he served in Egypt as Military attaché at the Indian Embassy in Cairo. He was an expert in Arabic Language and a scholar of Islamic Studies. He memorized Islam’s Holy Book Quran and was able to make a scholarly interpretation of Quran. He served in Cairo during the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar El Sadat and had personal friendly relationship with both the Egyptian presidents. In 1971, Lieutenant Colonel Narayan knew President Anwar El Sadat’s mind and predicted that Egypt will sign Peace Treaty with Israel long before the Camp David Talks of 1978. In his conversations, Colonel Narayan described aspects of Islam, and Arab Culture that desire Peace and Reconciliation to resolve conflicts. I am not at all surprised to find President Anwar El Sadat participating in Camp David Talks after waging war against Israel in 1967 and 1973.

Yom Hazikaron: Remembering the Six Day War
In 1967, during the days leading up to the Six Day War, Israel faced a threat to her very existence but miraculously dealt a devastating blow to her enemies.

IDF soldiers in the Six Day War
On May 15, 1967, Israel Independence Day, Egyptian forces began to amass along the border. The next day, then-Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered the withdrawal of UN forces from the Israeli-Egyptian border, so that no international observers could impede his assault on the Jewish State.
On May 18, 1967, Nasser declared on Voice of the Arabs radio, “The sole method we should apply against Israel is total war, which will result in the extermination of the Zionist existence.” Other Arab leaders made similar statements. PLO leader Ahmed Al Shuqayri proclaimed, “We shall destroy Israel and its inhabitants. As for the survivors, if there are any, the boats are ready to deport them.” Syrian Defense Minister Hafez Assad asserted, “Our forces are now entirely ready to […] explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland. The Syrian army, with its finger on the trigger, is united. I as a military man believe that the time has come for the battle of annihilation.”
As leaders across the Arab world called for the destruction of the world’s Jewish state and the slaughter of her inhabitants, the Straits of Tiran were closed to Israeli shipping, Egypt violated Israeli air space by engaging in aerial spying over the city of Dimona and hostile forces prepared to attack Israel on three different fronts.

It was a very scary time in Israel. According to Israeli historian Michael Oren, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, “Many Israelis feverishly dug trenches and filled sandbags, while others secretly dug 10,000 graves for the presumed victims.Some 14,000 hospital beds were arranged and gas masks distributed to the civilian population. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) prepared to launch a pre-emptive strike to neutralize Egypt, the most powerful Arab state, but the threat of invasion by other Arab armies remained.”
Egypt engaged in six different actions, which according to international law granted Israel the legal right to respond to the Arab aggression by declaring war. These included: conspiring with Syria and Jordan to attack Israel; barring Israeli access to international waterways; violating the 1956 armistice agreements by mobilizing its forces in the Sinai; expelling UN peacekeepers from the Israeli-Egyptian border; flying an illegal spy place over militarily sensitive sites within Israel and amassing Arab troops and tanks along Israel’s borders.
Thus Israel engaged in a preemptive strike. As Oren related, “The Arabs readied to strike — but Israel did not wait. ‘We will suffer many losses, but we have no other choice,’ explained IDF Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin. The next morning, on June 5, Israeli jets and tanks launched a surprise attack against Egypt, destroying 204 of its planes in the first half-hour. By the end of the first morning of fighting, the Israeli Air Force had destroyed 286 of Egypt’s 420 combat aircraft, 13 air bases, and 23 radar stations and anti-aircraft sites. It was the most successful single operation in aerial military history.
Yom Hazikaron – Remembering the Six Day Arab-Israel War.
Israel liberated the historic Jewish capital of Jerusalem in the Six Day War.
“But, as feared, other Arab forces attacked,” Oren continued. “Enemy planes struck Israeli cities along the narrow waist, including Hadera, Netanya, Kfar Saba, and the northern suburbs of Tel Aviv; and thousands of artillery shells fired from the West Bank pummeled greater Tel Aviv and West Jerusalem. Ground forces, meanwhile, moved to encircle Jerusalem’s Jewish neighborhoods as they did in 1948.”
As journalist-historian Abraham Rabinovich wrote, “Jerusalem was spread out below in the throes of apocalypse. Every quarter on the Jewish side of the city was being pounded by shellfire. Tracers from machine guns raced toward each other across no-man’s-land, and flares hung suspended on the horizon like Chinese lanterns.”
Six Day War: Israel Defied Her Enemies

On November 20, 1977, Sadat became the first — and so far only — Arab leader to visit Israel and address the Knesset with a call for peace.
Soldiers who recaptured the Temple Mount in the Six Day War stand in awe.
However, despite extensive Arab efforts to destroy the Jewish state, Israel emerged victorious after only six days of fighting. While 776 Israelis lost their lives the carnage was not as great as expected. Furthermore, Israel managed to reclaim the Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria as well as to re-unite the Holy City of Jerusalem, thus fulfilling the Zionist dream to establish a Jewish state in the Land of Israel with Jerusalem as its capital. Upon regaining control of the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock, Israel immediately issued a declaration to the Christian and Muslim residents of the Old City of Jerusalem guaranteeing to protect their right to religious expression, a promise which Israel has kept to this day.
Additional gains in the Six Day War were the acquisition of Gaza, the Golan Heights and the Sinai desert. The territory under Israeli control tripled in size. Israel miraculously defied those who thought the Jewish State would succumb to her enemies’ plans.

NIXON-KISSINGER TREASON WHILE AIR WAR CONTINUES OVER NORTH VIETNAM
NIXON-KISSINGER TREASON WHILE AIR WAR OVER VIETNAM CONTINUES. NIXON-KISSINGER BEFRIENDED ENEMY GIVING ENEMY COMFORT WHILE US SOLDIERS WERE BLEEDING FIGHTING WAR TO OPPOSE COMMUNISM.
On May 10, 1972, United States continued its air warfare on North Vietnam after Nixon-Kissinger visited Peking in February 1972 providing comfort to Enemy during War. Nixon-Kissinger utterly failed to defend the US military mission; the issue is not that of failed diplomacy, the issue is clearly that of act of treason. I blame Nixon-Kissinger Vietnam Treason for derailing Tibetan Resistance Movement.
President Richard Nixon’s decision to mine North Vietnamese harbors is condemned by the Soviet Union, China, and their Eastern European allies, and receives only lukewarm support from Western Europe. The mining was meant to halt the massive North Vietnamese invasion of South Vietnam that had begun on March 30.
In the continuing air war over North Vietnam, the United States lost at least three planes and the North Vietnamese 10, as 150 to 175 American planes struck targets over Hanoi, Haiphong, and along rail lines leading from China. Lt. Randy Cunningham and Lt. Willie Driscoll, flying a Navy F-4J Phantom from the USS Constellation knocked down three MiGs in one combat mission. Added to two previous victories, this made Cunningham and Driscoll the first American aces of the Vietnam War (and the only U.S. Navy aces of the war).
Also on this day: Air Force Capt. Charles B. DeBellevue of the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron, flying with Capt. Richard S. Ritchie in a McDonnell Douglas F-4D, records his first aerial kill. Later, DeBellevue recorded four additional victories with pilot Ritchie–both men achieved the designation of ace (traditionally awarded for five enemy aircraft confirmed shot down in aerial combat). In August, DeBellevue, flying with Captain John A. Madden, Jr., shot down two more MiGs, becoming the leading American ace of the Vietnam War.

LOVE DEFINED AS FUNDAMENTAL FORCE. PHYSICS MAY NOT ACCOUNT FOR INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LIVING AND NONLIVING MATTER. PHYSICAL FORCES CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR OBSERVED VARIATIONS IN ROTATIONAL SPINS OF PLANETS. On wholedude.com
In Physics, the term ‘Fundamental’ is used to describe a Principle, Theory, Law etc., serving as a basis forming a foundation that could be essential to explain other interactions in the natural world. In Physics, the term ‘Force’ is used to describe the cause or agent that puts an object at rest into motion or alters motion of a moving object.
Love defined as Fundamental Force. Physics accounts for Four Fundamental Interactions. In Natural World, there are Interactions between Living and nonliving Matter which are fundamentally different from Interactions explained by Physics.
All known physical interactions of Matter occur through the agency of four basic, or ‘Fundamental’ kinds of ‘Forces’; 1. Strong Nuclear Force, 2. Weak Nuclear Force, 3. Electromagnetic Force, and 4. Gravitation Force. Most natural phenomena can be accounted for in terms of Four Fundamental Interactions. Gravitation and Electromagnetism act over long distances and it is easy to observe their effects. Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces act over subatomic distances and the range of their effects is limited.
LOVE DEFINED AS FUNDAMENTAL FORCE; A FORCE THAT IS NOT MEASURED BY INSTRUMENTS INVENTED BY PHYSICISTS.
Gravitation is the pervasive Fundamental Interaction. Every particle of Matter seems to attract every other particle with a Force that is proportional to the Mass of each and inversely proportional to the square of their separation. This relationship was first proposed by Sir Issac Newton. His Theory of Gravitation is ‘Fundamental’, in the sense that all Motion due to the gravitational forces exerted on all objects can be described as a result of the same Force. Gravitation causes apples to fall from trees and determines the orbits of planets around the Sun.
LOVE DEFINED AS FUNDAMENTAL FORCE. FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL FORCES CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR VARYING ROTATIONAL SPINS OF ASTRONOMICAL BODIES.
Mechanics is the branch of Physics that deals with motion of material bodies and the phenomena of action of forces on bodies. Celestial Mechanics is study of motion of astronomical bodies as they move under the influence of their mutual gravitation. If the forces acting on a System do not cancel, Motion will result. Calculation of such motions is complicated because many separate forces are acting at once and all bodies are moving simultaneously. Issac Newton’s Laws of Motion and Theory of Universal Gravitation provide a great understanding of the simple elliptical orbits as described by Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motions.
LOVE DEFINED AS FUNDAMENTAL FORCE. KEPLER’S LAWS MAY ACCOUNT FOR ORBITAL MOTIONS OF PLANETS. HOW ABOUT EXPLAINING ROTATIONAL SPINS OF PLANETS???
It is interesting to note Hindu Scriptures Vedas may describe or mention Earth’s rotational spin. However, I notice that neither Vedas, nor Science have accounted for ‘Force’ that initiated rotational spin of various celestial bodies. Rotational Spin is a different kind of motion and cannot be explained as caused by physical forces of mutual attraction between celestial objects. Newton maintained that mere Motion does not require application of Force. In Space, there is no friction to restrain motions of celestial bodies.
LOVE DEFINED AS FUNDAMENTAL FORCE. PHYSICAL FORCE SUCH AS GRAVITATION ACCOUNTS FOR EARTH’S ORBIT OR REVOLUTION AROUND THE SUN. THERE IS NO PHYSICAL FORCE TO ACCOUNT FOR EARTH’S ROTATION ON ITS AXIS.
Man’s physical existence on surface of Earth cannot be fully accounted by physical force of Gravitation that explains Earth’s orbit or revolution around the Sun. Man travels about 67, 000 miles per hour during Earth’s yearly orbit around the Sun. But, man’s lifetime or lifespan on Earth is determined by alternating periods of Day and Night caused by Earth’s rotational spin. Physical Forces act mechanically without sense of purpose or goal. Earth’s rotational spin serves a specific purpose for it directs Biological Rhythms of Living Systems.
Love defined as Fundamental Force. Physical Force may account for the Speed of a point on the surface of Earth. Living Systems have synchronized their Biological Rhythms with Rotational Spin of Earth which serves specific purpose such as causing alternate periods of Light and Darkness.
Love defined as Fundamental Force. Man travels nearly 67,000 miles per hour in yearly orbit around the Sun. But, man’s lifetime or lifespan is determined by alternating periods of Day and Night caused by Earth’s rotational spin.
Within our Solar System, no celestial object shares rotational spin characteristics of another object. Each planet spins at a different speed or exhibits different rotational axis. On each planet, we will experience Day and Night and Seasons in different manners as they orbit around Sun. Each planet is unique, distinctive, original, and one of its own kind of celestial object. Space Exploration discovered thousands of planets, but none of them share identical rotational spins, in fact each planet displays individualistic variation in its spin characteristics. So, we need to recognize existence of “UNKNOWN” Force that may have imparted energy to initiate rotational spin of each celestial object.
LOVE DEFINED AS FUNDAMENTAL FORCE. TILT AND ROTATION AXIS OF THE PLANETS SHOW INDIVIDUALISTIC VARIATIONS. FOR LIFE ON EARTH, ITS TILT AND ROTATION AXIS ARE PURPOSIVE AND GOAL-ORIENTED.
I am using the term ‘LOVE’ to define it as Fundamental Force that brings Unity and Harmony in Interactions between Inanimate and Animate Matter to establish Natural Order. LOVE is Fundamental to existence of Sensible or Living Matter and Living Things have ability to perceive LOVE which instruments developed by man cannot measure.
What our ancient heritage scriptures Vedas say about physical sciences, role of scientists (ashvinaus) and scientific temper, a brief note is given below. To get a feel of Vedic physical sciences, reference to a few hymns are given. The Sun never sets or rises and it is the earth, which rotates (Sama-Ved 121). The gravitational effect of solar system makes the earth stable (R.V.1-103-2, 1-115-4 and 5-81-2). The axle of the earth does not get rusted and the earth continues to revolve on its axle (R.V. 1-164-29). The science of Time and its subtle nature is described in (R.V.1-92-12 and 1-95-8). The need to study the properties of water, air and fire for discovering and manufacturing aircrafts, ships and other vehicles capable of moving in the firmament, land and water are mentioned in Rig Veda 1-3-1,2, 1-34-1, 1-140-1 and many other hymns. Reference to infinite number of both gross and subtle atoms and the energy principle as spirit of God in each atom is given in R.V. 5-47-2 and Sama Veda 222. Atoms and sub atomic particles are not inert and have unsuspected vitality owing to this energy principle. Physical sciences relating to agriculture, medicine, astronomy mathematics particularly algebra, toxicology etc. are described in R.V.1-71-9, 4-57-5, Sama Veda 121 and many other hymns. In the Vedas scientists are described as men and women of absolute self-control, truthful with scientific outlook and destroyers of miseries (R.V., 1-3-4). With the help of these scientists one could travel far on the earth and in the sky through conveyances, which run and touch the middle region (R.V. 1-3-1, 6-22-2 and 1-22-2). Such scientists from both the sexes go across to distance places quickly like the mind and electricity (R.V. 1-71-9). In this hymn aircrafts and even space ships are hinted. These ashvinaus should be well versed in Physics, agricultural sciences (R.V. 4-57-5), medical sciences (R.V. 5-74-3), astronomy (S.V. 121) and other sciences. Ashvinaus have been advised to learn thoroughly about Prakrti (divine Nature), characteristics and various qualities of water, air, fire, electricity and heat and sound energy. Other sciences mentioned are Toxicology and use of various kinds of medicines and drugs (R.V 1-191-14), science of Time (Kala vidya) that starts with dawn (Ushas). R.V. 1-95-2, and 10, refers to use of time for mathematics. There is a mention of infra-red rays, study of Algebra (Rekha di ganit vidya), sound as a medium of knowledge for various sciences, diseases like bile, cough, jaundice and others and their treatment etc. The relevant hymns in this regard are in Rig-Veda 1-185-2, 1-12-1, 2, 1-22-1 to 4, 1-2-3, 1-95-1, 1-101-1 and many others.
However, the greater emphasis is on the development of Scientific Temper amongst the members of Society with a view to curb spread of blind faith, hypocrisy, miracle and ostentatious worship of God. Thus the knowledge of Vedic sciences is meant to save the human beings from falling into an utter darkness as Isa Upanishad and the last chapter of Yajur Veda caution us. The unity in diversity is the message of Vedic physical and metaphysical sciences. While matter is the cause of diversity owing to three primordial subtle particles of purity, activity and passivity present in it, the spirit (jiva) provides the necessary unity. To encourage scientific temper Vedas advise, “O, Man Explore further.” Kindly see for more details on Vedic Science about Earth, Sun, Gravitation, Moon, Eclipse, telegraphy, ships, aircrafts and many other The Vedas combine science with metaphysics and clearly mention that it is God who is the giver of knowledge of all sciences as “Sahstra sam ” (R.V. 1-10-11). The scientists are advised to study cause and effect of all material elements and how the objects are produced and there after utilize these properly (R.V. 5-47-3). By following these guidelines they can alleviate much suffering of the people (R.V. 5-77-4). Without the knowledge and practical application of physical sciences, it is not possible to eradicate poverty and attain prosperity (R.V. 1-34-1 to 5).

WORLD REMEMBERS 30th ANNIVERSARY OF CHERNOBYL DISASTER
Today, Tuesday, April 26, 2016, 30th Anniversary Day of Chernobyl Disaster, I join families of all victims in Ukraine and Belarus to show my respect to those killed due to Chernobyl Disaster. The cleaning work and decommissioning of remaining nuclear reactors still continues in Chernobyl. Nuclear Waste has to be stored in containers and monitored for hundreds of years and mankind has to constantly remind itself of challenges and risks posed by Nuclear Energy. Chernobyl Nuclear Accident changed the lives of people in Ukraine and Belarus ( please view photo images ) and World cannot afford to forget lessons learned.
I arrived in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA during July 1986 after witnessing consequences of Chernobyl Nuclear Accident while I lived in Sultanate of Oman where several European farm products are used on a regular basis. I had to change my shopping habits to avoid consuming food or food products exposed to radioactive fallout. This Nuclear Accident forced me to review my opinion of Nuclear Industry. I am not surprised to find that I worked for Greenpeace USA for ten years (1986 to 1996) to promote alternatives to Nuclear Energy as it poses significant risks to our planet and to all forms of life that depend on planet Earth as their home.

ON 30th ANNIVERSARY OF CHERNOBYL DISASTER, UKRAINE REMEMBERS ITS VICTIMS
Reuters
Ukraine held memorial services on Tuesday to mark the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which permanently poisoned swathes of eastern Europe and highlighted the shortcomings of the secretive Soviet system. In the early hours of April 26, 1986, a botched test at the nuclear plant in then-Soviet Ukraine triggered a meltdown that spewed deadly clouds of atomic material into the atmosphere, forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes. Relatives of those who died as a result of the world’s worst nuclear accident attended a candle-lit vigil in a Kiev church, built-in their memory.
“We did not think that this accident would change all our lives, dividing them into ‘before the war’ and ‘after the war’ as we called it. It was silent nuclear war for us,” said Lyudmila Kamkina, a former worker at the plant.
WORLD REMEMBERS 30th ANNIVERSARY OF CHERNOBYL DISASTER. MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD ON APRIL 26, 2016.
More than half a million civilian and military personnel were drafted in from across the former Soviet Union as so-called liquidators to clean-up and contain the nuclear fallout, according to the World Health Organization.
Thirty-one plant workers and firemen died in the immediate aftermath of the accident, most from acute radiation sickness. Over the past three decades, thousands more have succumbed to radiation-related illnesses such as cancer, although the total death toll and long-term health effects remain a subject of intense debate.
Nikolay Chernyavskiy, 65, who worked at Chernobyl and later volunteered as a liquidator, recalls climbing to the roof of his apartment block in the nearby town of Pripyat to get a look at the plant after the accident. “My son said ‘Papa, Papa, I want to look too’. He’s got to wear glasses now and I feel like it’s my fault for letting him look,” Chernyavskiy said.
Still Cleaning Up: 30 Years After the Chernobyl Disaster The anniversary has garnered extra attention due to the imminent completion of a giant 1.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion) steel-clad arch that will enclose the stricken reactor site and prevent further leaks for the next 100 years. The project was funded with donations from more than 40 governments. Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said lessons learned from Chernobyl should be heeded all over the world.
Even with the new structure, the surrounding exclusion zone – 2,600 square km (1,000 square miles) of forest and marshland on the border of Ukraine and Belarus – will remain uninhabitable and closed to unsanctioned visitors.
The disaster and the government’s reaction highlighted the flaws of the Soviet system with its unaccountable bureaucrats and entrenched culture of secrecy. For example, the evacuation order only came 36 hours after the accident.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has said he considers Chernobyl one of the main nails in the coffin of the Soviet Union, which eventually collapsed in 1991.

FAILED HOSTAGE RESCUE MISSION LAUNCHED FROM SULTANATE OF OMAN
FAILED HOSTAGE RESCUE MISSION, OPERATION EAGLE CLAW OF APRIL 24, 1980 LAUNCHED FROM MASIRAH ISLAND, SULTANATE OF OMAN DESCRIBES US AND OMAN FRIENDLY RELATIONS AND MILITARY COOPERATION.
US hostage rescue mission, Operation Eagle Claw launched from Sultanate of Oman on April 24, 1980 to rescue American hostages held in Teheran is of special interest to me for I served in Royal Army of Oman’s Medical Services (Force Medical Services, Sultanate of Oman’s Land Forces) from 1984 to 1986. The rescue mission involved flying six C-130 Transport Aircraft from Masirah Island of Oman. At Khasab, Musandam Peninsula, Oman, I served in Hq PENSEC providing military assistance to US operations in Persian Gulf. Operation Eagle Claw failed but US and Oman friendly relations continue to grow with increasing military cooperation year after year.
On April 24, 1980, an ill-fated military operation to rescue the 52 American hostages held in Tehran ends with eight U.S. servicemen dead and no hostages rescued. With the Iran Hostage Crisis stretching into its sixth month and all diplomatic appeals to the Iranian government ending in failure, President Jimmy Carter ordered the military mission as a last-ditch attempt to save the hostages. During the operation, three of eight helicopters failed, crippling the crucial airborne plans. The mission was then canceled at the staging area in Iran, but during the withdrawal one of the retreating helicopters collided with one of six C-130 transport planes, killing eight soldiers and injuring five. The next day, a somber Jimmy Carter gave a press conference in which he took full responsibility for the tragedy. The hostages were not released for another 270 days.
On November 4, 1979, the crisis began when militant Iranian students, outraged that the U.S. government had allowed the ousted shah of Iran to travel to the U.S. for medical treatment, seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran’s political and religious leader, took over the hostage situation and agreed to release non-U.S. captives and female and minority Americans, citing these groups as among the people oppressed by the U.S. government. The remaining 52 captives remained at the mercy of the Ayatollah for the next 14 months.
President Carter was unable to diplomatically resolve the crisis, and the April 1980 hostage attempt ended in disaster. Three months later, the former shah died of cancer in Egypt, but the crisis continued. In November, Carter lost the presidential election to Republican Ronald Reagan, and soon after, with the assistance of Algerian intermediaries, successful negotiations began between the United States and Iran. On the day of Reagan’s inauguration, January 20, 1981, the United States freed almost $8 billion in frozen Iranian assets, and the 52 hostages were released after 444 days. The next day, Jimmy Carter flew to West Germany to greet the Americans on their way home.

KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. ON MARCH 08, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, KARDASHIAN TWEETED THIS PHOTO WITH CAPTION #LIBERATED
On March 08, International Women’s Day, Kim Kardashian tweeted her naked photo with caption #Liberated. She expressed a sense of ‘shame’ about her nakedness and covered it with help from her hands.
ORIGINAL SIN AND SHAME
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. THE PROBLEM OF ORIGINAL SIN AND SHAME.
For Kim Kardashian expressed a sense of ‘SHAME’ about her naked body, the problem of nakedness has to be examined from its beginning or origin.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE GIVING HIM PERFECT BODY AND PERFECT SOUL. WOMAN IS GOD’S PLAN TO GIVE MAN A COMPANION.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. GOD CREATED MAN AND WOMAN WITH PERFECT BODY AND PERFECT SOUL. HUMAN NATURE CAME INTO EXISTENCE WITHOUT SENSE OF SHAME ABOUT NATURAL NAKED BODIES.
God created man and woman with Perfect Body and Perfect Soul. Human Nature came into existence without sense of shame about natural naked bodies.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. THE MAN AND HIS WIFE WERE BOTH NAKED AND THEY FELT NO SHAME. GENESIS 2:25
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they immediately became ashamed of their bodies and wanted to hide.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. “THEN THE EYES OF BOTH OF THEM OPENED AND THEY REALIZED THEY WERE NAKED.” GENESIS 3:7
While Original Human Nature is born without Sin, Guilt, or Shame, man and woman’s act of Disobedience introduced Sin, Guilt, and Shame as features of human Behavior. Ever since from the first act of Disobedience or ‘Original Sin’, human beings have been hiding from each other and from God.
SIN AND LIBERATION
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. KARDASHIAN CLAIMED THAT SHE IS LIBERATED WHILE EXPRESSING SENSE OF SHAME ABOUT HER NAKEDNESS WHICH SHE COVERED USING HANDS.
Sin is condition and activity of human beings that is offensive to God. Human beings were created by God without Sin. But, Eve and Adam chose to act contrary to God’s revealed Will thereby causing Sin to become permanent feature of human existence.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. JESUS REPLIED, “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, EVERYONE WHO SINS IS A SLAVE TO SIN.” JOHN 8:34
Sin is revolt against holiness and sovereign Will of God through thoughts, words, and deeds that offend God and transgress His Holy Law. The essence of Liberty and Liberation lies not in external freedom but in deliverance from the bondage of Sin and its consequent inner corruption.
LIBERATED – FREEDOM FROM SIN
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. THE ESSENCE OF LIBERTY AND LIBERATION LIES NOT IN EXTERNAL FREEDOM.
Kim Kardashian’s claim about ‘Liberation’ needs clarification. The word ‘Liberate’ means to set free, to release from slavery; the securing of equal social and economic rights, or freeing people from social, economic, and political oppression and injustice. Kardashian has not specified that she is ‘FREE’ from inner corruption of real or true human nature.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. KARDASHIAN HAS TO SPECIFY THE NATURE OF HER LIBERTY, LIBERATION THAT MAY DESCRIBE HER CONDITION CALLED “LIBERATED.”
Kim Kardashian has to specify the nature of her ‘Liberty’, ‘Liberation’ that may describe her condition called “LIBERATED.”
FREEDOM IN THE YEAR OF THE LORD’S FAVOR

This is the Year of the LORD’S Favor. Kim Kardashian has to seek LORD’S Favor to discover real or true Freedom.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. JESUS PROCLAIMED HIS EARTHLY MISSION AS THAT OF GRANTING FREEDOM TO HUMAN BEINGS. LUKE 4:18-19
Kim Kardashian in her thoughts, words, and seeds exists as a prisoner for she is still held captive by inner corruption.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, BOTH PROPHET ISAIAH AND JESUS SHARED THE SAME GOOD NEWS ABOUT MAN’S DELIVERANCE OR LIBERATION FROM BONDAGE, CAPTIVITY, SLAVERY, AND OPPRESSION. ISAIAH 61:1-2
For thousands of years, both Prophet Isaiah and Jesus shared the same good news about man’s Deliverance or ‘LIBERATION’ from Bondage, Captivity, Slavery, and Oppression. Kim Kardashian has to prepare her mind to set it ‘FREE’.
KIM KARDASHIAN – SET YOUR MIND FREE
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. KARDASHIAN HAS TO SET HER MIND “FREE” TO HEAR THE GOOD NEWS.
Kim Kardashian has to Set Her Mind “FREE” to hear the Good News that gives true or real Human Freedom.
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. KARDASHIAN NEEDS HELP OF “TRUTH” TO SET HERSELF “FREE.”
KIM KARDASHIAN – RAISE HANDS – PRAISE THE LORD. THERE IS NO SUCCESS IN LIFE WITHOUT FINDING INNER FREEDOM. KARDASHIAN HAS TO SET HER MIND FREE IF SHE DESIRES TO DISPLAY NAKEDNESS WITHOUT SHAME.
To be “Free in your own Skin” demands finding ‘Inner Freedom’, Mind that is Set Free. Kardashian has to Set Her Mind Free if she desires to display nakedness without Shame. She is created with Perfect Soul which in its essence knows no Sin, Guilt, or Shame. Man and Woman have to know their true or real human nature which is reflection of God’s own Nature. We give ‘Thanks’ to The LORD and Praise The Lord for sharing His Nature with us.

INTELLIGENCE vs COMPASSION – GOOGLE PROGRAM DEFEATS CHESS CHAMPION
INTELLIGENCE vs COMPASSION – GOOGLE PROGRAM DEFEATS CHESS CHAMPION
In board games like Chess, players move pieces on surface of board according to rules of the game. The player loses game when his piece ‘King’ is lost or ‘King’ is under ‘Check’ or threatened by ‘Checkmate’. The Game may not allow an external force to ‘uplift’ King to grant him release from threat.
Artificial Intelligence cannot match uplifting power of Compassion for Compassion acts like Physical Force to cause motion not governed by Laws of Motion described in Physics. Compassion has nothing to do with intelligence or ability of performing intelligent actions. Compassion is unrelated to intellectual functions. It is not likely to match intelligent actions with compassionate actions. Compassion is a response evoked when a Subject witnesses pain and suffering being experienced by another individual or living entity. Compassion not only provides motivation or drive to perform selected sequence of actions, but it provides physical energy to perform selected task with ease, without experiencing stress or strain. The Force of Compassion acts upon both parties, the party performing compassionate action and the party receiving benefit of compassionate action. Both experience a sense of satisfaction and happiness while they are under influence of Compassion. For a natural instinct like Compassion, there can be no artificial counterpart. In my view, Google’s Artificial Intelligence Program called ‘DeepMind’ cannot fathom depths of Compassion.

MASTER OF Go BOARD GAME IS WALLOPED BY GOOGLE COMPUTER PROGRAM
AlphaGo has become much stronger since its matches with Mr. Fan, its developers said.
It challenged Mr. Lee because it was ready to take on someone “iconic,” “a legend of the game,” Mr. Hassabis said. Google offered Mr. Lee $ 1 million if he wins the best-of-five series.
Tens of thousands of people watched the contest live on YouTube. Choe Sang-Hun reported from Seoul, and John Markoff from San Francisco.
Some computer scientists said Wednesday that they had expected the outcome. “I’m not surprised at all,” said Fei-Fei Li, a Stanford University computer scientist who is director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. “How come we are not surprised that a car runs faster than the fastest human?”
Master of Go Board Game Is Walloped by Google Computer Program
By CHOE SANG-HUN and JOHN MARKOFF
MARCH 9, 2016
SEOUL, South Korea — Computer, one. Human, zero.
A Google computer program stunned one of the world’s top players on
Wednesday (March 09, 2016) in a round of Go, which is believed to be the most complex board game ever created.
The match — between Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo and the South Korean Go master Lee Se-dol — was viewed as an important test of how far research into artificial intelligence has come in its quest to create machines smarter than humans.
“I am very surprised because I have never thought I would lose,” Mr. Lee said at a news conference in Seoul. “I didn’t know that AlphaGo would play such a perfect Go.”
Mr. Lee acknowledged defeat after three and a half hours of play. Demis Hassabis, the founder and chief executive of Google’s artificial intelligence team DeepMind, the creator of AlphaGo, called the program’s victory a “historic moment.”
MARCH 9, 2016
The match, the first of five scheduled through Tuesday, took place at a Seoul hotel amid intense news media attention. Hundreds of reporters, many of them from China, Japan and South Korea, where Go has been played for centuries, were there to cover it. Tens of thousands of people watched the contest live on YouTube.
Lee Se-dol, the world’s top player of the board game Go, lost the first of five matches to a computer program, AlphaGo, designed by Google DeepMind. By REUTERS on Publish Date March 9, 2016. Photo by Google, via Getty Images.
Go is a two-player game of strategy said to have originated in China 3,000 years ago. Players compete to win more territory by placing black and white “stones” on a grid measuring 19 squares by 19 squares.
The play is more complex than chess, with a far greater possible sequence of moves, and requires superlative instincts and evaluation skills. Because of that, many researchers believed that mastery of the game by a computer was still a decade away.
Before the match, Mr. Lee said he could win 5-0 or 4-1, predicting that computing power alone could not win a Go match. Victory takes “human intuition,” something AlphaGo has not yet mastered, he said. But after reading more about the program he became less upbeat, saying that AlphaGo appeared able to imitate human intuition to a certain degree and predicting that artificial intelligence would eventually surpass humans in Go.
AlphaGo posed Mr. Lee a unique challenge. In a human-versus-human Go match, which typically lasts several hours, the players “feel” each other and evaluate styles and psychologies, he said.
“This time, it’s like playing the game alone,” Mr. Lee said on the eve of the match. “There are mistakes humans make because they are humans. If that happens to me, I can lose a match.”
To researchers who have been using games as platforms for testing artificial intelligence, Go has remained the great challenge since the I.B.M.-developed supercomputer Deep Blue beta the world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997.
“Really, the only game left after chess id Go,” Mr. Hassabis said on Wednesday.
But Mr. Lee, 33, is one of the world’s most accomplished
professional Go players, with 18 international titles under his belt. He has called the European champion’s level in Go “near the top among amateurs.”
AlphaGo has become much stronger since its matches with Mr. Fan, its developers said.
Mr. Hassabis said AlphaGo did not try to consider all the possible moves in a match, as a traditional artificial intelligence machine like Deep Blue does. Rather, it narrows its options based on what it has learned from millions of matches played against itself and in 100,000 Go games available online.
Mr. Hassabis said that a central advantage of AlphaGo was that “it will never get tired, and it will not get intimidated either.”
Kim Sung-ryong, a South Korean Go master who provided commentary during Wednesday’s match, said that AlphaGo made a clear mistake early on, but that unlike most human players, it did not lose its “cool.”
“It didn’t play Go as a human does,” he said. “It was a Go match with human emotional elements carved out.”
Mr. Lee said he knew he had lost the match after AlphaGo made a move so unexpected and unconventional that he thought “it was impossible to make such a move.”
On Tuesday, before the match began, Oreon the director of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, a nonprofit research organization in Seattle, conducted a survey of leading members of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.
Of 55 scientists, 69 percent believed that the program would win, and 31 percent believed that Mr. Lee would be victorious. Moreover, 60 percent believed that the achievement could be considered a milestone toward building human-level artificial intelligence software.
That question remains one of the most hotly debated within the field of artificial intelligence. Machines have had increasing success in the past half-decade at narrow humanlike capabilities, like understanding speech and vision.
However, the goal of “strong A.I.” — defined as a machine with an intellectual capability equal to that of a human — remains elusive.
Other artificial-intelligence scientists said that humans might still find refuge if the goal posts for the competition were moved.
“I wonder what would happen if they played on a 29-by-29 grid?” wondered Rodney Brooks, a pioneering artificial intelligence researcher. By enlarging the playing space, humans might once again escape the machine’s computing power.
Correction: March 9, 2016 An earlier version of this article described Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo incorrectly. It is a computer program, not a computer. The error was repeated in the headline.
Choe Sang-Hun reported from Seoul, and John Markoff from San Francisco. A version of this article appears in print on March 10, 2016, on page A1 of the New York edition with the headline:
TAT ASMI PRABHU – FIFTH MAHAVAKYA – SEARCHING FOR GOD
The Statement that I refer to as ‘Fifth Mahavakya’ or Fifth Great Aphorism speaks of that particular, specific Individual with Individuality who exists because of yoking or coming together with an entity that is always present, ever-existing addressed as ‘Prabhu’ or LORD God Creator. This Statement gives a sense of direction if man wants to search for God. This Search for God is eloquently stated by India’s Mystic Poet, Guru or Sant Kabir Das(1398 – 1518).

WHO IS KABIR DAS?
Kindly read Kabir Das Bhajan ‘Moko Kahan Dunde re Bande’ which is included in Guru Granth Sahib. Kabir Das recommends finding God as a Personal God for God is with you. You need not search through Meditation or jap or upavas, or any act of ritualistic worship. You don’t want to search and find God in the vast, outer space or universe.
Finding God as personal experience is Indian tradition followed by millions even if they go to temples to offer ritualistic worship. The quest is personal. The experience is personal.
