- IMHO, Hinduism consists of two aspects - philosophical and symbolical.  
The

- 

The philosophical aspect should more appropriately be considered Vedantic  
rather than Vedic. There is a difference between Veda (which is more  
ritualistic => symbolic) and Vedanta (which is truly philosophical). 

- The symbolic aspect of Hinduism is external. It is for the common  
working
- people. It is what people bring home and practice. The practioner may  
not
- know the reasoning.
- 

Again, Vedic ritual can also be practised without any reasoning, and need  
not be philosophical.

- The problem is that there are too many pundits who claim to have

- This is called brahminism.

I beg to differ. The problem today is not that too many "pundits" claim to  
have gained knowledge, but that there are not enough pundits who have  
acquired knowledge. If the likes of the people who post on this group  
(including me) are to be considered pundits in any sense, God help  
Hinduism/Brahminism/whatever you want to call it. Not being able to find  
out what is right and what is wrong is not Brahminism. 

Brahminism is just a myth - a favourite dead horse which continues to get  
flogged just because the floggers have nothing better to do in life.

A guy named srinivas. I don't remember his last name, I think it sharts
with 'U' or 'V' and ends witn an `I`. He is an Indian by the way. 

If you had seen him by any can you tell him to me up.

Let us go into Socrates mode and ask, "Why is patriotism good?"

In my opinion, patriotism is an emotional term used by some to\
make others feel guilty. I find no virtue in patriotism from a
rational point of view.

Related questions are: 

What is patriotism?

Does patriotism require one to approve governmental policies?

Is patriotism possible when one is living in a foreign land?

so on and so forth....

It is not a question of which faction of congress will gain the
upper hand.  It is a matter of which faction will have a larger
influence on the date when RJB temple is built.  If Arjun singh
gets victorious, you will see RJB temple not now, but next year
or the year after that (but nevertheless, it will be built.  Trust
the VHP and RSS on that).  If arjun singh loses by oct 31st, the
temple will soon be built.

If the temple is built BJP gets the credit.  Temple not built ? --
BJP will sacrifice their UP govt and turn mercenary. Thinking of having  RJB-BM complex
permanently closed?-- hindu vote will never come back to Congress.

You see the dilemma, the brains in congress face...  ???

I feel war in kashmir will be imminent if VHP goes ahead with temple
building on oct 31st.  Congress needs a diversion desperately.  Bofors
HM are very small scale diversions...  Watch PVNR do something drastic...


 I am an eternal optimist, when it comes to our politician's capability in 
coming up with solutions.  My personal gut feeling is that
congress will hijack the hindu card from BJP.  But logical
analysis points to Kashmir...

  I am a bit curious about what exactly India will do in the security
council.  One of the biggest problems with our foreign policy is
that we appear to have none.  In the "new world order", I don't
see India fitting in anywhere.  We certainly don't have the economic
clout of a japan, germany (or any of G7) or the military clout
of a US or China.  We have apparently not made any effort to be
an active participant in the kind of development that much of
ASEAN has undergone (a great missed opportunity).  Our obsession
with Pakistan has cost us great investments in the military
which could have been fruitfully directed elsewhere.  Despite
our technological and economic potential, I am afraid we have
remained, and will continue to remain, marginal players on
the world scene, much as Brazil or Argentina.  It is only by
a narrow margin we avoid being total non-players in the world
affairs like much of Africa.
  I am sure there are very intelligent and articulate people
(wo)manning the External Affairs Ministry, but no governement
has so far shown any kind of savvy or vision that would encourage
the world to look towards India for serious input.
  Within this framework, I would not be too surprised if the Indian
application for a permanent seat in the security council were to
be rejected.  However, before we blame vested interests for keeping
us out, I think we should take a very objective look at how relevant
the Indian opinion is to the world community as a whole.  I mean,
does any country (rich or poor) really care whether India approves or 
disapproves, besides our very immediate neighbors ?  I think India is 
in a great position to be a spokesperson for much of the South in the 
North-South economic dialogue (for example), and unless the politicians 
show some foresight and take the initiative, this too will be one more 
missed opportunity.

"The most important function that the Narmada Project is

Gujarat, Saurashtra, and Kutch."
	
-Member, Narmada Planning Group of the Gujarat Government

"The problem of domestic water supply to arid areas of 
Saurashtra and Kutch would be solved permanently."

- Indian Express (2-2-89) 

"We do not expect perfect justice; in an imperfect world it 
cannot be obtained.  There is no doubt that in the national 
interest, people can be required to resettle.  However, 
India, in conformity with the development of international 
standards of human rights, has subscribed to certain minimum 
conditions that must be observed even when the national 
interest is involved.  They reflect the inalienable human 
rights of the oustees.  We believe that these norms must be 
adhered to.

Nor do we insist upon an unattainable standard in 
environmental impact assessment and mitigation.  However, to 
construct the SSP, India has availed itself of world-class 
engineering technology.  Should it settle for less than 
adequate standards in the application of social and 
environmental science?"

March 1992

"In the face of this danger of submergence, please appeal to 
the Indian and donor country governments and the World Bank 
to recognize the severity of this situation and take 
immediate, necessary action to resolve this state of 
humanity. We, the drown and death squad, will remain here and 
keep fighting until the last."

Beer is more nutririous than soda. Drinking a beer a day is not injurious to your health.
	However some doctors say that too much beer kills brain cells.
	So? Only the weak ones are killed - who needs them anyway.
According to many doctors alcohol in moderate quantitieies may actually be benefitial to your health.

I recommend: Heineken, Carlsberg, Fosters, Sapparo
