ढोल, गंवार, सूद, पशु, नारी...

रामचरित मानस विश्व का निष्पक्ष, निर्मल, सम्पूर्ण व् मानव कल्याणकारी ग्रन्थ है । पूर्वाग्रह से ग्रस्त कुछ लोगों को इस पवित्र महाकाब्य की एक चौपाई पर आपत्ति है : ढोल, गंवार, सूद, पशु, नारी, सकल ताड़ना के अधिकारी । इस चौपाई में दण्ड की मात्रा ढोल का उदहारण देकर बताई गयी है । हमारी परंपरा के अनुसार ढोल को हाथ से बजाकर संगीत निकाला जाता है न कि डंडे से । अर्थात हाथ से जितनी चोट ढोल पर की जाती है उतनी चोट देकर उन्मत्त गंवार, सूद, पशु या नारी को अनुशासित करने के लिए किया जाना अनिवार्य है । हमारी भाषा में अशिक्षित को गंवार कहा जाता है । सूद का तात्पर्य उस व्यक्ति से होता है जिसमें ईश्वर का भय नहीं होता है परिणामस्वरूप वह अनियंत्रित होता है या सामाजिक मर्यादाओं का उलंघन करता है । ध्यान रहे यहाँ सूद शब्द से किसी विशेष जाति व् वर्ग से कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं है । हिंदी में स्त्री को महिला, औरत, भामिनी, तरुणी, वनिता, नारी आदि अनेक शब्दों से सम्बोधित किया जाता है परन्तु इसमें प्रत्येक शब्द स्त्री के एक विशिष्ट स्वरुप की अभिव्यक्ति करते हैं । नारी प्रायः उस युवती को कहा जाता है जो कामुकता में विवेकहीन हो...

Real Culprits Wallow in Luxury Chambers

Image
One more of my short stories ‘Real Culprits Wallow in Luxury Chambers’ has been published in the Criterion. Read it by clicking on to this link: http://www.the-criterion.com/V9/n5/Ramesh.pdf The story represents the society in which corruption and lawlessness are allowed to go unchecked. It reveals how a man full of himself causes problem not only for others but also for himself. And the moral to the story is that prejudice floats on the surface of deep ignorance, so a normal life is possible to have by staying away from it or by expanding the area of generosity and love.

PM Modi Lived up to his Promise

Ramesh Tiwari 15 November 2013 at 08:44 ·  India is a family wherein Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian are the sons of the same parents. As for their differences, they are not different from those that brothers normally have. Now a reckless head of the family makes the entire family destitute; and a responsible & circumspect, prosperous. So if you want the all-round development of the country like jerk-proof roads and highways connecting all our villages, towns and cities, sp eed in transportation with more railway and airways networks, work for all, happy and fear-free religious communities enjoying freedom and equal opportunities, terror-free society, promotion of home businesses, a smiling and corruption-free India, and if you want to challenge China, to tame Pakistan, to be pioneer in space race and technology, to have the institutions of higher and technical education welcoming the children of all classes, to get your military modernized and stronger – make Narendra Modi ...

स्वामी परमहंस जी महाराज

तपस्वी दास छावनी , अयोध्या के महन्त स्वामी परमहंस जी महाराज आज सुबह बहराइच आये हुए थे । अपने निवास पर उन्हें जल पान कराने का शौभाग्य मुझे भी प्राप्त हुआ । पूज्य श्री महाराज जी ने घोषणा कर रखा है कि यदि ६ दिसंबर से पूर्ब् राम मंदिर का निर्माण नहीं निश्चित होता है तो वे आत्मदाह कर लेंगे | आज अपने शिष्यों की एक सभा को सम्बोधित करते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि हर पंथ या संप्रदाय आस्था की एक निश्चित सीमा में बंधा होता है वहीँ राम की कोई सीमा नहीं । राम चरित मानस मानव मात्र के पारिवारिक , सामाजिक व् राजनीतिक मूल्यों की उदहारण सहित व्याख्या है इसलिए राम किसी संप्रदाय के नहीं बल्कि वे मानव धर्म के प्रतिनिधि हैं । वे किसी पंथ का हिस्सा नहीं हैं बल्कि सारे पंथ या संप्रदाय उनके अंग हैं । राम का सम्बन्ध किसी विशेष मान्यता वाले लोगों से ही नहीं वरन प्रत्येक व्यक्ति से है । वे भारत के ही नहीं बल्कि विश्व की जनसँख्या के एक बड़े हिस्से के आराध्य हैं । राष्ट्रपिता महात्मा गाँधी जिन्हें सभी संप्रदाय व् वर्ग के लोग प्रिय थे उन्होंने भी राम राम कहते प्राण त्याग किया था और ' रघुपति राघव राजा राम पतित पा...

Setu from Pittsburgh USA Published my Poem

Image
https://www.setumag.com/2018/10/Ramesh-Chandra-Tiwari-Poetry.html The poem laments the death of our most cherished statesman Sri Atal Bihari Bajpai, who as the leader of the opposition never missed a single chance to oppose the Government where it was necessary, but numerous are the examples where he supported it. When he became the Prime Minister, he introduced many reforms in economy and infrastructural development, privatising some government owned corporations, encouraging foreign investments, research and development and also reducing unnecessary administrative loadings. He created an atmosphere of increased competitiveness; it was his skills and honest efforts that could afford extra funding to support the information technology sector and high-tech industries; it was he who introduced deregulation of trade, investments and corporate laws; it was he who did to increase foreign capital investment and to set in motion an economic expansion; it was in his rule that India con...

Deepawali is not a Festival

Image
Ram represents the axis of the whole human law and Dewali represents life and knowledge. Ramayan is not the story of a superman but a collection of codes explained with examples. Deepawali is not a festival but a divine revelation. Sanatana is precisely not a religion but Human Dharm that has lent imperatives to every religion that cannot have its identity unless it is border by a particular system of belief. Ram and Deepawali are not the parts of a religion but all religions are the parts of them and therefore they have relationship with every human being. Those who evade showing respect to them do not know the origin of humanity. Haapy Deewali, everyone!

A Few Distrustful People

There are a very few distrustful people who say that PM Modi squandered money on Statue of Unity. There are certain others who associate it with the park built by former Chief Minister Mayawati. I want to tell them that Unity Sculpture is worth putting by the side of countries historical monuments that attract tourism and are source of foreign exchange. Besides, the Prime Minister built it with the clear intention of spreading the message of national unity and its sovereignty and not of appealing to the emotion of a particular community. He built it not by cutting back on any development and welfare projects; and what is more, the money spent on it cannot be called expenditure but an investment. Finally, nobody could help himself to any commission. The political correctness of Jawahar and Mahatma has ever since bringing the country hardship, trouble and bad luck. Right-on Congress led by them made the very foundation of the independent nation shaky. If it were not for politically inc...

I had never imagined that I’d be given such praise by our insightful Branch manager, along with our effusive co-workers .

अयोध्या में राम मंदिर

Image
विदेशी यहाँ आए और यहाँ के लोगों पर अपना धर्म थोप गये यह भारतीयता की कायरता थी | यहाँ के धर्म स्थलों को अपने धार्मिक इमारतों में बदल गये यह भारतीयता की कायरता थी | यहाँ के लोगों को गुलाम बनाया और जाते जाते उन्हीं में से बहुतों को उनकी माला जपने की मानसिकता दे गये यह भारतीयता की कायरता थी | आज भारत में, वह भी अयोध्या में राम मंदिर बनाने के लिए सरकार लाचार है - इससे बड़ी कायरता संसार में कहीं नहीं है | प्रधान मंत्री इंदिरा जी एक देश भक्त सनातन महिला थीं | वे देवरहा बाबा की शिष्या भी थी | एक बार वे बाबा से मिलने प्रयाग गयी हुई थी | वहाँ पहले से भक्तों की एक विशाल भीड़ थी | इंदिरा जी जब देवरहा बाबा का आशीर्वाद लेने पहुची तब उस भीड़ ने संत से आग्रह किया कि वे अयोध्या में राम मंदिर निर्माण के लिए इंदिरा जी से कह दें | जब पूज्य श्री गुरुदेव ने प्रधान मंत्री जी से कहा कि ये भक्त राम मंदिर चाहते हैं तब उन्होने उत्तर दिया कि ये सभी पूरे हृदय से नहीं चाहते - जिस दिन ये लोग पूरे मनोयोग से माँग करेंगे उसी दिन मंदिर बन जाएगा | तपस्वी दास छावनी के हमारे स्वर्गीय गुरुदेव श्री श्री बलुइया बाबा राम मं...

A Touching Elegy for Our Treasured Statesman Atal Ji

Image
Please click onto this brown text to open the Bilingual Journal, Setu (published from Pittsburgh USA), and read my poem that laments the death (Thursday, 16 August 2018) of our most cherished statesman Shri Atal Bihari Bajpai. The poem uses simple language and describes his political eminence, correctness and beliefs. Sri Atal Bihari Bajpai as the leader of the opposition never missed a single chance to oppose the Government where it was necessary, but numerous are the examples where he supported it. When he became the Prime Minister, he introduced many reforms in economy and infrastructural development, privatising some government owned corporations, encouraging foreign investments, research and development and also reducing unnecessary administrative loadings. He created an atmosphere of increased competitiveness; it was his skills and honest efforts that could afford extra funding to support the information technology sector and high-tech industries; it was he who introduced d...
