The Media is the number one device of battling against all the odds and drawbacks of the society as well as the whole universe. Without the media of communication, we can’t live a moment in the modern world. Ao, we can say that now the media is life. Today, I will furnish in my blog a poem related to media.
NOW THEMEDIA IS LIFE
Sushil Rudra
The name of the poem is ” Now Media Is Life “.
It’s media, a very vibrant but spontaneous device of present era . It is our basic needs with food and lodging ,and freedom of speech and voting . After changing so many eras weare now in the era ofmedia, passing away Paul , Sen , Gupta, Mughol, British and so on.
Now media is life which ruling us . Now it is the era of media. All is controlled by media. It instructs us, advice us and help us what to do or not , in each and every moment,in dream , and instruggle .
Who would be awarded , Who would be rebuked , Who would be regarded , all are furnished by media
The very first page of newspaper on Independence Day, when we open and look at theheadline in ten column banner- The feet of whom would you visit ? Is it of Netaji or Mahatma Gandhi, not they’re ! but a rapist murderer who has beenconvictedandhanged . It’s also defined by the alerted almightymedia.
Now media is life. Media is like a metal detector, seeking for a silent and secret atom to discharge and defused, it settles down whether the case is of suicide or murder, the sinners are the politicians, a few dacoits, murderers are patriots, – everything, every moment is being defined and confirmed by the hands and pen of media.
In Sunami or earthquake how would you proceed to propaganda , how would you shouting at arranging michil and gatherings , that are also programmed & organised by the media . They teachyou seriously.
As soon as the chun or lime drops down from the bettle , media will shout to you, If there is missing in tune or music, media will threat you , if rice is not produced from paddy , media then and there will expose it by their machines and skilled tune.
In modern age , media is God , Supreme consciousness. The leaders are running towards them to satisfy and to sit on the crown , the singers, the stars , the writers, the researchers are always trying to be favoured of them for getting success, to be awarded the Bharatratna or Padma awards. Media , You are superb , you are God !

I’m to blog is for shouting for the demands of the underprivileged society and the people whose are deprived by the ruling government. And also to write for their demands as well as solving the problems.
Life And Dreams In Poetry
My Dream’s Bird is absolutely my own We can’t live in this world without dreams From childhood to gray days Dreams come and dreams go Sometimes it’s daydream, sometime nightmare with tremendous shocking , yet I play with these unrealistic games, Never getting any fruitful solution Running into the darkened mist .
Let fly in the sky your dreaming bird Don’t captivate your small desires in your secret chamber, don’t afraid of walking through the dark forest or deep sea , Or climbing at peak of high mountain Always be firm and steady in your journey Whatever the consequence it’s , So don’t stop to enjoy dreams as life is too much uncertain why do you not enjoy it.

I desire to live in this world, it’s my sweet home. Never I want this world to be a very small like seed or a fruit Amloki . I want a world which would spread Certainly I would get found my world. Oh my world, please extent yourself, expand unto Brahmah and the whole Universe , spread up to endless sky or the entire spaces, near and far . Let My world be eternal, endless and beyond geographical , World ! Oh my dear World, don’t be contracted, nor narrowhearted ,and me, rather being small and more smaller would wrap you and hug you with utmost care.
You become big and I stay small like your obedient child , only for looking into your magistry I would be very soft like a bunchof silk – very softand formless , if I get a little alert , being rolled up like a Murshidabad silk ,try to enter into the circle of the ring with a gentle coursey .
The World Is Very Big , It Can Not Be Small like Pond . It’s so old that never been lost.
“I pity the Hindu who does not see the beauty in Jesus Christ’s character. I pity the Christian who does not reverence the Hindu Christ.” – Swami Vivekananda
JESUS AS SEEN BY SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
Continuation….
Not only propagation, we should have to follow his directions into our livelihood. We want to be a Christ. And the salvation of man would be possible.” That was the ceremony of welcoming of glorious renunciation. With the burning incense flames their sacrifice and renunciation turned into a divine atmosphere. Standing there they took a firm resolutionforsacrificing their lives inrenunciation. They became surprised in the topic of Jesus Christ which was imperceptibly came in their mind in course oftalk.But ultimatelythey came to know about that special day . It’s Christmas Eve.
In 1889 , the resemblance to apathy and renunciation Naren was initiated to translate “Imitation ofChrist” in Bengali . Weknowit’s written by Tamas A Kampesh. Swamiji’s translation was being published serially inthemonthly magazine “Sahittya Kalpodrum , got popularity here in Bengal. In the introduction, the translator expressed his thoughtful opinion about why he had influenced to translate this book and his love and respect to the life and sadhana of Jesus Christ in the present context.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA AS A TRANSLATOR
The young translator, Narendra Nath further wrote: Imitation of Christ is a most deserving book of Christians. It’s written by one Catholic Saint. It’s wrong to say that it’s written, rather it is printed with the blood of a all – renouncing ( ascetic ) Mahatma (Holy Soul ) or you can say him a magnanimous spirit . This vibrant & burning Gospel of an incarnation has been attracted cores of men and women for continuously four hundred years with its power of inchantment and will attract in the future , who has been given salutes of hundreds of Kings and emperors , all the division and discriminations amongst the Christian and other faiths with each other, leaving the firm separations will have been downing their head in the charms of this book.
Vivekananda further wrote : He didn’t mention his name in this book as writer . Why should he mention it ? He who gave up all the worldly pleasure and happiness, honour like faeces , why does he beg for name and honour? Subsequently, people gave a writer’s name of a CatholicSaintas Tamas ACampis . God knows how far true it’s ? Whatever he is , no doubt, he is a respectable and holy person of the world.
Next Vivekananda criticized the missionaries of Christian faith. He wrote : Now we are the subjects or progenies of Christian King . In the grace of Emperor, we are seeing so many native and foreign Christians. It’s been found that the great missionaries are preaching that you eat today what you have. Don’t store it fortomorrow or next few days. But they are storing for themselves for coming ten years . They’rebusy in meterialistic enjoyment, being wrapped in laxarious lifestyle. And preaching about the vibrant gospels of Jesus Christ.I don’t have found any true Christian. If you read this book , then you will come to know about the so called Protestant Christians who are enjoying a laxarious life and preaching egoistic self – maid philosophy to another faith .
The Important Feature Of This Book
But young Naren have a great faith and regards in thisbook and also on the sacred life of Jesus. He was so influenced having read this book that he praised saying this :
This book is full of humility , humbleness , affliction and also a sentiment of being in service to God. Anyone who would read this book , he could have been enriched with the glorious and vibrant renunciation , self – sacrificing and dependancy on it .
In fact , it will be distinct to all having read ” Ishanuswaran ” ( Imitation of Christ) , that young Naren had been massively influenced with the meraculous purity , deep renunciation , selflessness , relinquishing and stone – melting love of Jesus Christ and the sentiment of being in service to God of the divine writer , Cempis . The days of renunciation and self – sacrifice of some young would – be monks at Barahanagar Math was the same as it’s described in this epoch – making book of Cempis . All the words of the writer are no doubt the divine words of wisdom to whom we convey our honour, none other than the great IndianHindu Monk ,SwamiVivekananda .
WHY WE, INDIANRESPECT JESUS ?
Of the different philosophies , the tendency of Indian, mainly Hindu is not to blame or destroy , but to harmonise everything. If any new idea comes into India, we do not antagonise it , but simply try to take it in , to harmonise it , because this method was taught first by our prophet , God Incarnate , on earth, Shri Krishna. This Incarnation of God preached himself first : ” I am the God Incarnate , I am the inspirerof all books , I am the inspirer of all religions.”Thus we do not reject any . We love Jesus very much for His love and purity.
We Never Fight Against Any Religion .
The reason why we never fight against any religion is , that we do not say that ours is the only way to salvation . You know it has been told by Swami Vivekananda . And obviously his Master , Sri Ramakrishna who practiced all the religious paths and became abled to reachtogoal . Both the spiritual Gurus preached that perfection which can be had by everybody . What’s the proof ?
The proof is that, we see the holiest of men in all countries, good men or women everywhere, whether born in our faith or not . Therefore, it can’t be held that ours is the only way to salvation. Swami Vivekananda quotes from the Upanishad to make understand to the Western devotees in this regard which is in English asfollows:
” Like so many rivers flowing from different mountains , all coming and mingling their waters in the sea , all different religions , taking their births from different standpoints of fact , come unto thee “. In Gita , Shri Krishna preached same , and so we regard him on account of his wonderful catholicity in harmonising all the preceding revelation.
Hindus never shed bloods for religion. But Mohammedans of India are something different. They are arrogant in respect of religion . But Hindu is too mild . They can criticise , but don’t use sword. Jesus don’t want violence. He is the resemblance of forgiveness and purity what’s the need of the hour . That’s why, like Rama , Shri Krishna and Sri Ramakrishna, We love and worship Jesus Christ.
It’s saying in Bible :” From earth you came , to the earth you will return.” In fact, we are the sons of the soil. We are borne from the earth , and finally returned to earth.
SOUL IS ETERNAL :
But the soul is eternal , ageless and deathless. Come and go , birth and death is the compulsive to human being and other animals. Where there’s a birth , there is also a death. But the soul is immoral.
PURANA : SELF – KNOWLEDGE:
Beginning and ending is not a feature of soul. It’s neither birth, nor death. Soul is eternal, perennial. It’s told Purana . It’s self – knowledge or metaphysicalknowledge. It’s true nature or essence of the soul.
Na Hanyate hanyamane sarire :
This theory of knowledge is the gift of Hindu religion. We believe it with heart and soul – “na hanyate hanyamane sarire”. You can kill me , but I will not die . You can hurt me, wound me physically, but I must not die.
AN ANECDOTE :
There’s an anecdote . Alexander, the great, once told an Indian yogi to be accompanied with him and trying to influence by offering some valuable gifts . The yogi told him, “Sir, I have no need of money and wealth.” He did not agree to go with him. Lastly, Alexander tried to threatening him to death. Yogi , having listened it , laughed loudly. Replied that you are making an untruthful words. It’s absolutely ireasonable . You could never killme. Perhaps you talked so many false words in your life, but this is such an absurdand untrue speech which you never pronounced. You couldn’t kill me, never. You have no power to kill me.
NOINANG CHIDDANTISASTRNI :
He said to him, ” we believe in soul. What is soul? “Noinang chiddanti sastrni”. You can’t cut it out of swords, not kill it, “noinang dahoti pavakah”.You can’t burnt it. na choinang kledoanti aapo – can’t wet it with water ” na sosoti maruth ” – wind can’t dry it . Acheddya ayam – you won’t cut it . “Adajha ayam” – not to burnit . ” Akledyah”, “asossyah” – this is eternal soul. ” Nittyah sarbogatah” – it’s universal, it’s everywhere. It’s within you, and within me .
SOUL : BEYOND MIND :
He is everywhere, in great, in small. He is unmoveble – “sthanu”. Sthanu achalo Sanatana.This is our soul. ” Aboktyah” it can’t be described in language. ” Achintah” – it’s beyond speech and mind. Nor can we thought it or imagine . “Avikaryah – not it changes. ” Tasmadevang bidittyah – this is the soul . If you realise it, then ” nanusochitum ahorsi” – you must not think of grief and sorrow for your work . In this way , Lord Krishna tring to console dejected Arjuna.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither left them be afraid. “
” Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Serenity is a wordwhich is related to our spiritual life. No, it’s not fully true. Besides spiritual life we need to be drawn Serenity in all spheres of life , may it be sports and games, any kind of learning , in service life and obviously in worldly possessions. The last one is not our the subject of discussion. Though it’s very needful in journey to perfection. Through meditation we can reach at that state of mind. Hence what is the way to serenity and peace.
Actuallythe goal of meditation is to reach a state of serenity, when our mind is still and perfectly calm. Use serenity to mean the quality or state of being calm and peaceful.
The word ” Serenity” is derived from the Latin word ” Serenus” , meaning” calm or peaceful” and adding English suffix-“ity” , meaning quality or state.
Our life isn’t bed of roses. We have to travel a tough way in our journey. So, when the going gets tough, that is the time to recognisethatwe are at the stepping stone of evolution and there is something that needs to be released from our subconscious mind , which is causing hindrance to our growth. Almost anything not working for us in terms of ourselves. Our behaviour, our relationship, our life situations, and physical ailments are only signs for us to realise that we need to pay attention inwardly and allow our energies to expand, and manifest whatever we desire. The power to change everything that we experience lies inside us . So be active and mindful.
The secret of being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of everyday.
Always we should believe in ourselves . There’s an anecdote: A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on its own wings. Hence, it’s wise to be believed in ourselves.
It’s fact that we live in a world which is massively disturbed. Uncertainty for the future we bear in mind. We are to face lot of troubles to have our sweetest things. We fall, we again rise , we makes mistakes and also correct it . We learn through the hurdles. We are human beings and want to achieve perfection in our activities. We have been hurt , but despite we are alive – to breathe , to think , to enjoy , and to chase the things we love. Sometime we can’t get success . It wraps us with pain and agony. Unhappiness is the feature of the modern times. We ought to know that our life is not only for joy , it’s also for pain.There’s a sadness in our life journey. But also have a beauty in it. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt , for we will never what is waiting for us just around the bend.
As we get older, we find out that true happiness is not in how much money we make, or how many degrees we have or how big our house is , or how fancy and gorgeous our car is . We then realize the meaning of our lives. We become enlightened and freed from small desires. We attain peace and serenity and feel divinetouch of Mother .
All pains disappear then silently. We become a free individual having a state of peaceful and serenity mind. In this state of mind, we lose interest in selfish things and gain a divine light. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people, fear of society and of economic insecurity, even fear of death will leave us . We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that almighty God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. Are these extravagant promises? We think, not. They are being fulfilled among us – sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, they will always materialize if we work for them.
We need serenity in our busy schedule. More or less, we face anxiety disorders , anxiety turns into panicdisordersandgradually turns into mentalillness . We are too busy in the materialistic world that we are not concern about our inside or inner world. Really we are wrapped up tightly with the outer sparking world forgetting our true self which is the room of God or Soul.
It will fair to say that we have little time to be engaged in retrospection. In Kali Yuga , we are living with food and of entertainment . Most of our times we are running for food, money, gold and bank balance. We totally go oblivion that there’s a room and a soul within us. Yes, we need money, food, but we can’t refuse our soul. But it’s also truth that we can’t practice spirituality without food.SreeRamkrishna Paramhansa , the Master and great saint of India said once that religious practice is not possible with empty belly. Same words were uttered by Jesus Christ. As we can not refuge our daily needs, just as we don’t neglect of our soul – thrust or hungry. Can we ?
It’s beautiful to listen loving words, but it seems harse when it’s unfair . So throw off the words in the dustbin when it’s not come within . Don’t believe in sweet words if it’s not come out from the deep sea of love , Trust the words which are wrapped in with the compassion and sacrifice and with the tears of unconditional love. It’s serene and transcendental having no touch of possession. So when you are hurt by words , keep store it your pain and agony in the mind – unexposed , not take care of it , but throw all these in the waves of time . Positively a moment must come when you will gather a strength of neglecting all this hazards of life . All your gloomy state of mind will disappear silently like a dew dropping in the air, Be brave in futile , Never down your head in untruth and untrust . Perhaps, you have to bear in the heart the words of separation from morn to night, from awakening to surrendering in sleep , in dream and on the way to home from the office, but never shelter it as a guest, rather stand up with your utmost life force and strength , hate all these blunt words , kick out all the small desires and jump into the greater struggle which is full of light and delight like a nice poem .
Let sink in the deep ocean within you , Look never behind , Set your journey for the eternal power and enlightenment . Why are you running towards for a small love ! Float on the transcendental and with the serene which is within you.
Never care of the words which are not coming from deep sea of love and trust . Love is life which belongs to serene and transcendental , but when it’s chocked by some odd words that makes life cloudy, never indulge it but stay calm and quiet . Look forward and gaze at the sky , it’s calling you to be come closer as its companion . Let fly in the sky and take shelter beside the Stars , be friend of the fishes whose are swimming in the river with joy and pleasure. Be not with the friends who didn’t keep the words of love and not brave & fair.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble”. – Psalms
” The lust of gold succeeds the rage of conquest”. – Samuel Johnson
” There is a God within us”. – Ovid
God and Gold – both are very precious in this world. We, the most of the people want obviously gold, not God . If it would be surveyed , it will be found that majority of us are interested in gold , not of invisible God . Why do we run for gold, not for God ? There are so many causes behind it. I will discuss today about the psychology of a man who desires gold , and not to see God or hankering after spiritual knowledge . In fact , We do not know about our destination. And no one advice us to takethe right direction where togo , and what should be ourlife – goal ! We grow up through a sterio – type life journey.
As a result, we are totally confused about what to do or don’t . Like all, we start our life journey in a same manner which others are doing on or going to . Start getting education from the age of 3/4 years and ends up it with higher education. Our parents or guardians as well as children generally used to dream a good and honourable professional life or career. For bright future , they become busy to rat – race . They dream of a good salaries, a well furnished flat , and a beautiful wife or husband. Next they’re busy in office works . They have little time to maintain family affairs. As they’re going through a micro family, so their problem is acute. They spend the weekend along with their spouse and children. Even they are unable to look after their parents. Most of the parents are not happy with this situation. They generally meet together once in a year, or two. So, it’s a matter of pain . Parents want to live with their child in their old age, but they don’t get it.
What I amwanting to tell that our new generations are running towards gold . They are spending time in storing money in banks . Purchasing several flats , gold’s, and other properties. The more they are enjoying, the more they wanting.
Besides, there’s a portion of youths who are struggling to get a minimum livelihood day and night. Unemployment is the another problem prevailing a massive impact on the youths. They are seeking to employ anywhere, but Government has not been providing any job for the educated adults. So gold is afar to them. Being frustrated they are going to evil activities. Some of them are depressed having got no alternative source of income.
Butthey’re few people who looted our valuable capitals of public money like Nirav Modiand so on. Politicians like Lallu Prasad and so many are also responsible for the situation . If it’s meteculously scaned by EDandCBI , it would have been as if to search the thief in the village no one is found perfect . After independence, our only development is to taking bribes cores of money and to storing public money ( government ) in their individual Bank accounts . In Bengal , political Dada’s are the most solvent. BJP leaders are shouting at the corruption of Trinamul MP and the nephew of TMC suprimo, Mr. Abhishek Benerjee. And obviously it’s true that being a young guy how does he possesses the numerous buildings in Kolkata which are so costly. He was caught red-handed by the ED with gold , but CM’s police has rescuedhimfrom the EDwhileMr. Banerjee was returning from Malaysia. Ithappened in Kolkata Airport.
There are so many scam cases which is running under investigation by the CBI . Rose Valley, Sarada , Narada, very recently illegalCow- scammer’s case , aamphan money laundering etc – all these are real pictures of the corruption in our society . Even so many administrative officers are involved in corruption and also running towards gold hoarding . Though they’re getting massive salary, despite they’re not happy. They’re misusing our capitals.
So really we’re far away from God. God is there where there’s no corruption, no scams, no adulteration, no bad mannarism, no cheating , no falsehood. The more we will be busy in personal or self – upliftment , the more we will be far beyond of success. Now it’s urgentneed of self introspection. Do we truly achieve the goal? We have some duties and responsibilities to the country as well as for society. We live in a society where all get together in our good or bad days . So , as an individual we belong to a society on which we are indebted too much. The service to society and also service for the country is our birthrightand our primary duties . But it’s scarcely found that our erstwhile and modern generation are not serious about it. We should think that if our country becomes rich , we would be also riches. Our Country is our God. Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattapaddhay uttered “Bande Mataram”to hismotherlandin his novel“Anandamath”. To serve its people who are poor, week , in trouble , is to serve the God . God is not in the remote, He or She is nearer to us. God, by the name of poor, week , ill- health , are waiting for our service . Go there and take care of them. Swami Vivekananda advised us in such a way. Hence, Our goal should be fixed in this line . ” Nannya Pantha Vidmate Aionayo “.
