Boko Haram, Abducted Girls and Nigeria: The World is Impotent

Nigeria is a country in West Africa. It is a country which at one time was part of the British empire and was a relatively peaceful place. But once the British left, the lid blew off and the nation came to grips witha fundamental schism, a division between Islam and Christianity. Both religions have the same roots and Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet, but the fact is that in practice the two religions are incompatible.

This is the genesis of a Muslim revolt in the North of the country. This revolt is now hijacked by a extremist Muslim organization called the Boko Haram. This group has the same dream as the ISI and the same modus operandi. In their battle with Christian south the Boko Haram fighters abducted nearly 200 young girls froma school. The girls were taken to their strongholds and as per reports converted to Islam and many were married off to Jihadi fighters.

There are reports that some of the girls have been sexually exploited. The Nigerian army has failed miserably in fighting Boko Haram and the West led by France and the USA despite lip service have done nothing. The girls remain in captivity and its a moot point whether they will ever come back. Boko Haram is a strong military force and unless the more powerful nations intervene there can be no succour for Nigeria.

Two Weird Beliefs of Evil Spirits. Could they be real ?

Hinduism is a very old religion that has elements of animism and pagan worship. Throughout the centuries the religion has fostered beliefs of the supernatural and evil spirits hat are peculiar to India. Many of these beliefs can be traced to a common root with other religions. Thus similar concepts abound in Christianity as well. Here we shall have a look at some of the Hindu beliefs of the evil spirits and supernatural. Some of these beliefs could be folk lore, but there are many people in the countryside and villages who will vouch safe for the truth of these spirits. The Chaleda. This is an evil spirit is peculiar to the Northern and colder regions of India. The belief in the Chaleda is particularly strong in the mountainous state of Himachal Pradesh. The Chaleda is an evil spirit who has denied entry into the world of spirits for some heinous crime like child murder and rape. Such a spirit is doomed to roam the earth till he expiates his sins. This may take decades and during this period the Chaleda roams the earth and wreaks revenge on all people who come in contact with him. The Chaleda is a male spirit and has the power of appearing before a man in any form. He will quickly change his form and try and frighten the man before killing him. There are umpteen encounters with the Chaleda recounted by the villagers of this mountainous state. One of the popular tales was recounted by a villager to an American. It appears that the villager while returning home espied a cat sitting in the centre of the mountain trail. The villager tried to shoo the cat away and prodded it with his stick( danda). But just then in a moment the cat vanished. Slightly unnerved the villager continued on his path to his village. As darkness was setting he hurried forward , when he saw a small child crying. Thinking that the child’s mother may be nearby he lifted up the child to look around for the mother. The child suddenly started becoming heavier and also started laughing. The villager realized he was accosted by a Chaleda. He dropped the child and ran all the way back to the village reciting the sacred prayer of Nanak the Jap all the way. Such incidents abound, but no scientific investigation has been done. The nearest equivalent of the Chaleda in western thought is the werewolf.

The Chudiyal or Evil Witch This is another weird belief from the Northern regions of India. The Chudiyal is a female eveil spirit who again for some very terrible crime like murdering her husband has been doomed to roam the earth till she gets salvation. Popularly called the Chudiyal the belief among the villagers in this evil spirit is very strong. The Chudiyal normally appears before her victim who will always be a man in the form of a beautiful woman. She will entice him and even marry him and then finally kill the man. In Himachal Pradesh the women to men ratio is low and it is not uncommon for a man to pick up a mountainous village bride and marry her. Numerous tales are documented of Chudiyal marrying men and then killing them. One popular tale recounted is of a man while strolling on the mountain trail was accosted by a beautiful woman. She told him that she had no parents and house and would love to meet him. The man subsequently had a couple of trysts with the girl and then brought her to his house as his wife. He was enthralled by her beauty. But in a few days he observed the woman was not eating any food and nor did she require any firewood. Intrigued he decided to one day sneak back to his house and see what was happening. He saw the woman’s leg in the Chullah (fire stove) and she was using it to burn as firewood. He was frightened and ran away and confided to his friends who told him the woman was a Chudiyal. He was advised not to go home and await a soothsayer or Chela to throw the evil spirit out. As per the tale a Chela cam and after reciting mantras the Chudiyal ran away screaming loudly. This popular tale has many variations. These are the two most popular beliefs prevalent in Himachal Pradesh. But like all beliefs they undergo small modifications in the different regions of the state, but the undercurrent in such beliefs is very strong. Maybe there is need for some scientific investigations into these beliefs.

Can Tantra Sex Cure Premature Ejaculation? A Most Common Malady

All over the world Men suffer from a peculiar affliction often referred to as premature ejaculation. Every man during intercourse has to ejaculate, so what is premature ejaculation? Basically it means that a man reaches orgasm before his partner. In other words a man loses his self control during the sex act and leaves his partner unsatisfied. This is a very common phenomenon and most men at some stages of their lives suffer from it, either temporarily or for longer periods.

Premature Ejaculation and Tantra Modern science does not have any sure shot cure for premature ejaculation and most doctors will treat it as a psychological problem. But in Hinduism there is a cure and that is through Tantra sex. Hinduism recognizes Tantra sex as one of the paths to salvation. A deeper study reveals that Orgasm is not the goal of Tantra sex and once a man has understood this the rest will automatically fall in place.

Steps in Tantra Sex Tantra sex is a slow ritualistic sex and man must follow the tenets bravely. There is no room for tension. It will be a help in case his partner also believes in he power of Tantra. Thus a man must try and follow the steps outlined below

a) He must first create an atmosphere for the sex act by burning incense sticks and having soft religious music in the background b) The second step is the art of disrobing your partner. This again is a slow process and should be followed up by a massage of the partner’s body with aromatic oils. c) The man must caress the erogenous zones and build up for the next stage. In this he must remember the saying of the great sage Vatsyayana that “all parts that can be kissed and licked can also be bitten”. This needs no elucidation d) The act itself is the last part, but not the main object. Time is of essence as Tantra sex requires a lot of time and it relaxes the individual. Once both partners are ready the next step can be taken without thinking of orgasm. The aim is to bring the partner to a sublime level where ejaculation itself loses meaning.

Last Word The last part of Tantra sex is belief in the act of Tantra sex. Unless you have the confidence in Tantra the chances that you will achieve anything are pretty slim. Many sages in Hinduism have elucidated on the benefits of Tantra sex. Modern US doctors have also vouchsafed for it. A word of caution, participants must remember that Tantra sex is not something that can be done alone, but needs a guru who will guide the participants through the stages of Tantra sex

Personal Journal: I Broke the Hymen of 3 Girls in all

Life has its own way of moving forward. My life has been studded with women and I believe firmly in the adage that a woman was created for man. After all Eve was created by God for Adam. After decades, I can safely say that I slept with many women, but they were not virgins, at least not in the classical sense. Who is a virgin in the classical sense? I will say that it is a girl who has her hymen intact. Storming it is almost akin to breaking the walls of a fortress and it gives the greatest pleasure to a man. It leaves a man exhilarated though drained, but with a feeling of victory.

I was able to break the hymen of only 3 girls. I wonder if others have had more than this number. The first was when I was a cadet and I loved a nun, a woman of god. It was a ferocious love and reminded me of the exotic Victorian tales of licentious nuns who went after sex and searched for god there. How this happened is along story, but it did take place and it was the greatest of pleasures to break her hymen. The second happened after many years when I was in mufti and heading a corporation. My secretary was the one, younger to me by 2 decades. She was fast and I assumed she was a flirt. But like in the ‘French Lieutenants woman “she was a classical virgin and when I broke her hymen she bled a lot. Did I regret it? No, not at all and it gave me the greatest sense of victory to have broken the wall to her virgin door. But I had not planned it!

I drifted away to another job and place. Now I actively wanted a virgin and the place I worked I earmarked a shy and demur girl for me. I resolved to make her mine and I was sure as she was young her hymen was intact. I seduced her, which is the long and short of it. I broke her hymen and after that she cried, but I held her and consoled her even as I gloated over my victory. Three virgins in almost 4 decades is nothing very great, but then classical virgins are hard to come by. I bedded American and Russian girls but they were never virgins. I still feel taking a virgin; a classical one is the acme of achievement. No prudery is involved as it’s a straightforward act and one that gives me even now great pleasure, just to dream about it. What do you all think about it?

Did Gandhi Win Freedom from British for Indians: The Obverse View

Gandhi is a larger than life figure in Indian history, but some facts about him need to be restated. Historically India never won its freedom with a war of Independence like the USA, China and many nations.The popular perception is that Gandhi won freedom after a mass movement. This mass movement succeeded in overthrowing the British who left India. Nothing could be further from truth and the facts speak otherwise. Gandhi had been agitating with his mass movement for over 30 years, but the Imperial power was not concerned. Why? Because they always felt that Gandhi was a harmless old man and they pampered him.

How did India win Independence? This was an act of the British Parliament called ' Indian Independence act 1946'. This act was passed in both houses of Parliament in England and received the assent of the King. After this act the process of transfer to hand over power to Indians commenced. Why did the British suddenly decide to hand over power after the end of World war II, which finished in 1945? One must remember the statement of Winston Churchill who had stated that he had not become the first minister of the king to preside over the liquidation of the British empire. So why did the British leave India and handed over power to Indians by an act of the British House of Commons?

The army was suspect and not to be relied

In this the role of Adolf Hitler merits attention. Hitler lost the war, but like Samson in the Bible dragged the British Empire with him. The Empire and Britain was so weakened that they just did not have the will or the wherewithal to hold on to the empire. Another factor was the Indian Army through which Britain had ruled India. This army lost its loyalty to the crown as many deserted and joined Hitlers Indian Legion and the Japanese Indian national army. Thus Hitler and teh Indian army forced Britains hand and Clement Attlee, heading a labour government decided to leave India . It's a moot point that in case the Conservatives under Churchill had remained in power, whether the British parliament would have passed the Indian Independence Act?

Buddhism Vs Islam in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a small island nation in the Indian Ocean. It is a predominant Buddhist state with significant minorities of Hindus and Muslims. The Muslims in Sri Lanka make up about 8% of the population and comprise 3 distinct groups. These are Indian Muslims who are mostly Tamil, ethenic Muslims who are local Muslims and have lived in Lanka for generations and the Muslims from SE Asia who migrated from Burma and other places. All of them are loosely classified as Muslims by the Sinhalese who consider them as one ethnic group.

The situation in the island nation is however far from rosy as a resurgent Buddhism is letting loose a wave of anti Muslim sentiments. This is led by ultra nationalist Buddhist monks who one expert feels represent a profound identity crisis. This identity crisis has led to rioting against Muslims as was witnessed when a crowd of some 500 Lankans attacked a Muslim trader in Colombo on 28 March and ransacked his godown in Colombo. The crowd of 500 was led by some Buddhist monks who threw stones at the trader’s establishment. Similar attacks are now more the order than the exception in Lanka and the number of attacks on the Muslim population is growing.

There have also been reports of Sinhalese crowds led by monks desecrating mosques and at many places Buddhist monks are calling for boycott of Muslim products and services. The Sri Lanka Muslim Congress which is part of the government of President Rajyapaksha has condemned these attacks which as per reports are led by ultra nationalist and conservative Buddhist monks. Ever since the birth of Buddha( 5th century BC) and spread of Buddhism, the religion is regarded a peace loving and tolerant religion.

 The notion of hate campaigns goes against the grain of Buddhism’s image as a religion of peace and tolerance. This centuries old notion is however changing in Lanka as also in Burma., Sri Lanka’s majority Buddhist community (70 percent) fears that Islam is muscling its way into the social and cultural fabric of the island. Most Buddhist religious heads feel that Islam is anathema to the Buddhist way of life and if unchecked will result in an eclipse of Buddhist culture and its identity. The epicentre of that resistance is a radical political movement “Bodu Bala Sena” (BBS). This extremist philosophy group was created 10 months ago and is achieving affair degree of success.

This movement is targeting Muslims in many ways and most Sinhalese are not averse to it. An example is the removal of the ‘Halal’ label from foods sold in Lanka. Most Buddhist feels that the label 'Halal' is an affront to Buddhist national identity. A beleaguered Muslim community led by the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama agreed to remove the “Halal” label from all meats sold in Lanka. After this success the BBS has also called for the removal of the 10th century old mosque from the Kuragala Buddhist monastery in Colombo. The dropping of the ‘Halal' label is a major concession by Lanka Muslims but that has not doused the flames of Buddhist extremism and fanaticism which is led by Buddhist monks who are supposed to be custodians of the Buddhist ideals and philosophy.

The tensions seem to be growing and the Bodu Bala Sena has also come out strongly against the Niqab, worn by Muslim women. They feel that Muslim women should not be allowed to wear the Niqab in Sri Lanka. They point to France and other European nations where the Nikab or Burkha is banned. All these are signs that the Buddhism of yore is being replaced by a more militant version. This wave is sleeping across SE Asia and Burma is another example. The custodian of any religion is the clergy. In Buddhism also the clergy represented by Buddhist monks feels it is the custodian of the Buddhist ideals and philosophy. Hence it is spear heading the movement against Islam and Muslims, which they feel will save the Buddhist culture from disintegration The situation in Sri Lanka has to be watched closely. The Muslim community is under threat as Buddhism reasserts itself.
