Tantra is an ancient branch of Hinduism that puts forth a path to god through sex. This is one of the accepted streams of Hindu philosophy.

The Drift to Fundamentalism in Pakistan

Pakistan was carved out of the erstwhile British India as a separate state for the Moslems of the subcontinent. The genesis of the creation of Pakistan was the two nation theory propounded by Jinnah. Though Jinnah was himself a secularist, but for expediency of politics he propounded the theory of a separate homeland for the Moslems. Jinnah had started his career as a member of the Congress party. Creation of Pakistan The creation of Pakistan was thus on the basis of Islam which became the state religion. The protagonists of Islam forgot the liberal aspect of Islam as is evidenced in Egypt and Turkey and passed harsh laws to make Pakistan a hard line Islamic state. Thus the blasphemy laws were enacted, that made punishment mandatory for anyone who even vaguely went against Islam. These laws are the strictest compared to other Moslem nations. The hard liners of Islam soon went step further and joined hands with militant Islamic fighters who dreamt of setting up an Islamic state with the Shariat as the main law. They also wished for society to accept their interpretation of Islam. This has resulted in a volatile mixture of violence, intolerance and Jihad being amalgamated in one stream.

The Assassination and its Repercussions The recent assassination of the Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseem by a member of his elite body guard is thus a sickening aspect of the above mentioned concotion. The Governor, a liberal who had been campaigning against the Blasphemy law had also met a Christian lady who has been sent to death under the act. This act was found sacrilegious by the hardliners and the Islamic main stream parties had all joined hands against him. The killer, a member of the elite body guard force of the police shot the Governor while he had just left a restaurant in Islamabad. The killer showed no remorse and worse a few people felt he was hero and showered him with rose petals when he appeared in court. This is a dangerous omen for Pakistan. If men in uniform are so indoctrinated in the ethos that killing a person who is a liberal as per their interpretation, then there appears little hope for Pakistan. One wonders what could happen to important personages of Pakistan, like the President and Prime Minister if they are to be guarded by men who are themselves so influenced by the righteousness of their cause, that they feel killing is justified. The Future I will go a step further and say that the Pakistan army may also be heavily influenced by such thoughts and that cannot be a happy thought for the USA and other powers fighting in Afghanistan. Pakistan is thus sitting on a tinder box that could explode anytime. But, still there is hope as a many people do feel, that what happened was not good and Pakistan must shed its hard-line policies. They are aware that a Taliban state will sound the death knell of Pakistan

The War Against the Islamic State: Will the West win with Air Bombardment?

The Islamic State appears like a monster to most enlightened people in the West and India. Unfortunately there is an undercurrent of support for it right through the Sunni world, for the IS is basically a Sunni Muslim organization and all others are a pariah to it. One can just see the flags popping up in Pakistan and many places that people (Sunni Muslims) have a lurking admiration for the IS. No wonder Sunni Muslims from all over the world are coming in tens to join the movement. This means it has a groundswell support all over the Muslim world among the Sunni's.

This organization has overrun large areas of Iraq and Syria and enforced the most primitive form of Sharia. Minorities including Shia Muslims have been summarily executed or enslaved and the governments of Iraq and Syria and their army are totally ineffectual against the fighters of the IS. The degree of motivation of these fighters is simply fantastic and fueled by a desire for paradise and 72 virgin wives the IS fighters have spread terror among their opponents. The large number of imports from the UK, France and the USA is a pointer to the dedication and single-minded devotion of the IS brand and its Pan World appeal.

With Iraq almost ready to fall into the lap of the IS, the west and the US is faced with a grave situation. In case they allow the Iraq army to be routed (it is defeated as it is) the chance of other countries falling in the IS lap is very real. It could well mean a fanatic anti west state that will become like the many headed monster the Hydra. It could well be a second faceoff between the Christians and the Muslims (Sunnis) after the great battles of the 16th and 17th century.

The USA and West have responded with an air bombardment of the IS. Many countries from the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey have joined this air war against the IS. But despite this the IS is far from defeated or cowed down. In real fact it is growing from strength to strength as more recruits even from India join the IS fighters. Thus though many IS fighters are killed; the ground situation has not changed much. The Iraqi army is unable to make headway and there seems to be a complete lack of will to face the fanatic fighters of the IS on the ground. Guillio Douhet had in his theory of air warfare opined that a battle can be won by airpower alone. With the USA and its allies having complete air control, the battle by now should have started turning in favor of the nation’s fighting the IS. This is not happening and the IS continues its advance, though at some places they are thwarted.

What could be the cause of this failure to dent the IS fighters? Firstly the bombardment appears halfhearted as the west ponders if it can do business with the IS. This is a double speak and is the bane of the western policies throughout the war on terror. After the entire entire west could not even curb Iran which continues its development of nuclear weapons. Secondly there is great sympathy and support for the IS among Sunni Muslims. They see them as Islam’s great soldiers. The Sunni Muslim states also who are part of the coalition are in two minds. No ground troops have been committed and a cardinal principle of war as enunciated by field marshal Montgomery that it requires the infantry soldier to hold the ground is negated. Thus the West will lose again and I do not see the IS being defeated.

Nude Yoga: What it is and its Benefits

Yoga is an Indian spiritual exercise intrinsically linked with Hinduism and generally has a twofold purpose. It tones the body but also elevates the mind to a higher plane. This part of Yoga is difficult to understand and practice and cannot be achieved with a Yoga guru. Many Yogic gurus have advocated doing Yoga in the nude without any clothes.

It must be understood that the nude Yoga recommended by the Swami is not part of mainstream Yoga and can only be indulged in by a man or a woman who has achieved some degree of proficiency in normal yoga. Yoga in the nude is to be done only by a person who has mastered and reached a higher level of Yoga. In case a person is shy of doing nude Yoga in a gathering than it is best to practice it alone in a bare room with only you and a mirror. The mirror is essential so that you can see yourself as created by god. Women undergoing Yoga and the men as well are advised to do naked yoga in their natural form without use of hair remover and razors.

Yoga in the nude after a period of practice in solitude is to be done in a gathering with a mixed grouping of men and women. The basic aim of Yoga in the nude is to make a person aware of his or her body and raise him to a higher level that leaves sexuality behind. It is difficult and that is the reason it is recommended only for persons who have reached some level of proficiency in this field. Yoga teaches concentration and relaxation. Both essential ingredients’ for the human mind. It also tones the muscles and advanced Yogi’s can also by a mixture of celibacy and the Sir Asana (head stand) develop ESP powers. Many Swamis in India have developed these powers through yoga.

Nude yoga is generally to be done in the morning before the sun rises. The participants under the guidance of a guru are to enter a large hall with small mats for each participant. The practitioners are to divest themselves of their robes and clothes and commence the logic session as directed by the Guru. It is generally seen that participants of Nude yoga do have very little sexual thoughts as they concentrate on reaching a higher plane. But attractions can develop which in itself is a good thing. There are to be no inhibitions and the aim is to have an awareness of the body and reap the benefits of Yoga to reach a higher spiritual plane.

Malala Yousafzai is awarded Nobel Prize: Did she deserve it? Are the Awards Cheapened?

The entire Western press and media are going ga ga over the Nobel Prize to Malala. I wonder how a prize can be given to a young girl for just getting shot by the Taliban. That is pecisely what happened . The Nobel Prize is for a lifetime of achievement and not for an incident. It must be seen in the background that Mahatma Gandhi was conspicuously ignored. The fact that he was nominated thrice in 1937, 39 and 48 is all the more galling. Add to this the Nobel peace prize to President Obama and you have a picture of grave inconsistency. Obama himself would admit that the peace prize awarded to him is an aberration.

The award of the Nobel peace prize to Malala,is an example of the Nobel committee being dictated more by Media hype than anything else. In fact it is the media that projected her and teh Nobel committee for reasons best known to it awarded her the peace prize. Malal talks of peace but what about the Sharia? What does she feel about things like triple Talaq, evidence of 2 women equal to one man or Muslim men allowed 4 wives. Will she fight for all this? Malala herself wears the hijab and is no way a liberated girl. The Nobel committee has greatly erred in this award. There are thousands of girls in Pakistan denied education and many are killed by Taliban. Malala is just lucky she survived, but the award for just getting shot makes a mockery of how the Nobel Prize is awarded.

The Mental Makeup and Psychology of the ‘Keep’ or Mistress

I have been wondering about why some young and really beautiful talented women end up as mistresses of older men. What is the psychology behind such women’s mental makeup? A keep is also a mistress, but has a deeper connotation than a mistress. It means that she is owned by the man , body and soul and is dependent on him for her livelihood , a home and a car or what ever else that makes life comfortable. We must remember that a keep is a woman who is the property of a man, he may be married or not. Her body is at the disposal of the man who supports her financially. One has heard of women as keeps, but a man as a keep of a woman is unheard of. Thus being a keep is the prerogative of a woman.

Most women who get into such a relationship are emotionally unstable and insecure. They have a dread of living life alone and they become ‘keeps’ of men for financial and emotional security. Unfortunately such relationships are doomed in the long run and there are umpteen cases of the kept woman struggling in life after the death of her older lover. One is reminded of the case of actress Priya Rajvansh who became the keep of producer Chetan Anand. After his death she was murdered over a property dispute by the sons of Chetan Anand. Such women are unfortunate, but being a kept woman still thrives in the modern world. There is also the case of Ms J Jayalalitha who became the keep of the famous actor MGR who was 30 years her senior. Her father had  passed away when she was 2, so there is a possibility she gave her virginity to this man as she saw in him a father figure. Being a Keep has not gone out of fashion and its common in America, where there are more rich people than anywhere else. To have a 'keep' one

must have money. No poor man will have a keep. Yes , but there is no man who would not want a keeep or a mistress, being unable to afford is another matter !!
