With or without majority, BJP is bound to form the next Govt in Manipur

With state assembly countdown approaching fast, Manipuris are awaiting the result with a deep breath. Time for accusation to each other political parties regarding blockade is gone. Every candidate is having a do or dies fight in their respective assembly seat with their opponents. The question in everybody’s mind is – who will win the election, the BJP or the Congress? A hung assembly or one without an absolute majority by either major political parties! Though, a month or so back, one opinion poll gave the BJP an absolute majority, the scenario is still not clear. It seems to me a neck and neck fight with BJP having an upper hand.

No one is an island

Gone are the days when people flocking to spiritual masters were happy to listen to general discourses that for example, advised people to overcome lust, greed and anger.In today’s context,there are more specific disturbances that need to be addressed,like the global militaryindustrial complex that keeps conflicts alive to fuel business, or pharmaceuticals pushing medicines that focus on symptoms, and not the disease. Swami Swaroopanada says we need to examine core values that are necessary for the right attitude in dealing with any troubling situation in life.“Every situation should make us better,not bitter. Here we need to draw from the real essence of cultural upbringing as well as specific ideologies, from a practical standpoint. “The Bhagwad Gita was presented to apply to day-to-day situations, yet it contains timeless positive values to enable us to live our lives productively; to reach our goals and also fulfil our final purpose of life.
