[Assam] Sky is Love

Thu, 12 Jan 2006 20:24:56 -0800

Dear Umesh,
 
It is perfectly alright to miss "da" after my name !!! Let me share with you an episode of a mother's anxiety when she found out that her son's look-alike was not her son:

SUSHMA (to Biju, in fear): If you are not my son, who are you ?

 

BIJU: All my life I have been asking the same question, who am I. I never found the answer.

 
Since we do not know the answers to the questions "Who am I ? " ... "Where did I come from ?"  ... etc, it definitely does not matter what the name is, and/or  what are the  prefixes & suffixes !! Our personal existence is in significant, but our consciousness opens the door to the tremendous positive vision "Sky is Love" from Chandogya Upanishad.  I'll be ver happy if you read the above drama NIRVANA, which ends in its clmax  "yadeva kam tadeva kham iti" (Whatever is sky so is Love) from the verse 4-10-5 of Chandogya Upanishad. I have a weakness to discuss these points.
 
With love to everybody,
Himendra

Himendra-da,
 
I forgot to write "da" last time as I was in a hurry with the computers closing down.

Himendra,
 
You really seem on top of things. Doing it - rather than just talking about it.

Dear Ram,
 
Thanks for posting Patricia's article.  I am very hopeful that the women of the Northeast, with  support from their menfolk,  will lead women of the rest of India to find freedom from oppressive customs.
 
With the best wishes,
Himendra

Dear Patricia,
 
I am happy to read your article in "The Statesman" about women in the Northeastern part of India where there is no dowry system.
 
Since this is something unique in India where 25,000 brides are "killed or maimed" every year over dowry disputes, will you be interested to participate at the "Eighth International Conference Against Dowry, Female Feticide & Son-Preference in India" to be held on December 27, 28 & 29, 2006 in Kanyakumari ?
 
Please contact Professor Werner Menski of the University of London (School of Oriental and African Studies) and Dr. Gopalakrishnan Karunanithi of Manonmaniam University, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu about the content of your paper. I am sending a copy of this letter to them, and also to the organizer of the Conference.
 
I'll be very thankful if you contact me as soon as possible.
 
With the best wishes,
Himendra Thakur
