''Amte" Baba,Vikas,Prakash, Sadhana,Bharati,Mandakini...

"Amté"(Aamtay) {difficult to pronounce properly without proper Phoenetic markings}...Is A a name synonymous to "MOVEMENT"
...as far as I am concerned, my observations have been that ,'each' of the dedicated soul that works at "any" of the Locations of the Maharogi Seva Samiti namely:
> Anandwan
> Hemalkasa
> Somnath
> Mul Gavhan(Zari) Dist Yawatmal
> Ashokwan( Nagpur)
> Nagepalli
http://mss.niya.org/projects/ etc.. is a part and parcel of the 'SOUL"of the MOVEMENT.
The awards given to Baba/Prakash/Mandakini.....are really those given to each and every person who is dedicatedly attached with the same 'missionary zeal'. I have seen it in each of them...whether it maybe The Driver of The Samiti's Car/Ambulanc/Bus....or the helper who aids in putting up a building in the premises,making food at the mess,selling effects made by their varied institutions or the person who keeps accounts or a member of the Anandwan orchestra...each is as responsible,dedicated and valuable as the other...
Vikas Amté and Dr Bharati Amte along with so many old war horses who run the challenging show may not be named or awarded by individual name...and this they do not mind , as long as 'Baba's goal is achieved. Humans are funny to focus on to a particular person who been given individual credit....but what they forget is the the 'Base'built since so many years of hardship and perseverance stands to commended,alongwith all involved. The network and the many hands that aid to complete the entire picture which when ready looks so beautiful...internally and visually is to be applauded.
Destiny and fate has it...Some become famous and some work behind the 'Curtain' so to speak..All do not get the limelite...but all deserve due credit and acknowledgement
....I wish if 'all those who wanted to commend this Giant effort, call on any representative of the Maharogi Sewa Samiti to Honour it'. I feel saddened that by calling only a few Famous ones amongst all for the so called 'appreciation' and try and put themselves in light. Little do they know that Much more and bigger things have been done by people who really wanted to do their bit and not for publicity or show...Trying to gain a philanthrophical name under the shadow of someone else's umbrella....is quite a shame."Do you look after those needy at home, to make a name?"

I write this for those souls who at whatever level do their bit with such great sincerity and are never acknowledged.The best part is even those who are so publicly commended are all so shy of what people say or do...but they have their hands full of the chief job of running so many instituions and all for "those needy, ill fated, social discards but hopeful fellow humans" who want to live a life of equal opportunity and self respect.

Enjoy everyone can....but, give this life for ' fellow humans with poverty of luck and opportunity' is no mean task!!

It's Obama..After a big Drama!

I realised i haven't put in my views for some time now...
it has been a mixed bag..A lot of bad blood still being spilt by Humanity...The bombings and killing won't stop and neither will the calamities...Only helping Humanity to dig it's grave deeper and faster..
Bad actions and words being exchanged in a Holy and all embracing known Land like India...man being fed with venom and bias...Sad!
'An ill fought and much left to Substance'Election...but with a wonderful result...for it will stand for "change"in a lot of ways all over the World's Citizens...A victory of Man's Wrath for Skin colour superiority or faor that matter caste n creed..
Economics brings again to the fore man's greed and shrewd and conniving ways to gather selfishly without thinking of Humankind at large..
MONEY has again proved to be one of the biggest evils produced by man...Mental Wealth and intelligencs has lost to bank Balances and power by wealth!
A fear growing....in me > "what will be?'' Que Cera Cera....Sera Sera...whatever...to what END?

So I go on with my duty,Work, occupying my mind so that it doesn't become the Devil's Workshop..Hope it is noticed...All will it be lost in the WORLD POLLUTION?

The Pride of Humanity lies in Maharashtra- Prakash and Mandakini Amte

Again and again in history

Some special people wake up

They have no ground in the crowd

They move to broader laws

They carry strange customs with them

and demand room for bold audacious actions

The future speaks ruthlessly through them

They change the world

A poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, quoted by Mr M S Swaminathan in the preface written to "Samidha"the biography translated in English by Professor Shobha Pawar.

No award is higher than the smile on the face that brings back the confidence and self esteem of a human who is all at Nature's mercy due to the missing love and support of his brethren.To serve is to do your duty,to share is a humans basic ethical principle.Of course when you do your duty their is reciprocal feeling and action.This keeps the human cycle going ...not material returns!!
We are God's creations and so is all that surrounds us in Nature.To care for this surrounding and to make it a pleasing experience for all is man's basic right.Both these(Right & Duty) go hand in hand.All humans are equal in the eyes of God.There is no one dearer or undeserving.To follow this basic is worship of the almighty and not show.Wearing holy clothes???whats that?..Ringing chimes and blaring praise is but show and an act to attract attention to prove your false reverence.To serve HIS creations is worship of the highest order."Work is Worship".Work is doing ''Duty"of serving your own creed as well as all living beings who live along with in
Harmony. To care for nature,it's plants,flowers and fruits...the animals who help us protect the environment.All those who need help...from plants seeds to humans...all have a basic right ...to survive healthily.
When will we keep ourselves from false ego and false need? When will we be with Nature and not slaves to Artificial , materialistic products that lure you from a ''Proper"life. There is always a chance of failing to live up to unnatural support of Living.Man digs his own grave...he makes his own world and then falls prey to it's habit like an addiction and so spends all his life digging his own grave.He never reaches the "paradise" he hopes to ...dreaming with eyes half shut..

Here is a couple who serve those in this present times are deprived of a simple healthy life with food and education.Our own Human creed...our brothers and sisters...not having simple basic means....Lost in the crowd of Humanity...Why are we blind to all this??Have we sold our souls? Do we have no Compassion?What if we were one of them? have we considered in different perspectives? Can't we help them get Justice? How can man just throw away and disregard his/her duty to serve his OWN kind?....Surely the Alive aren't DEAD!!!!! or are we living corpses?
Wake up and value what we have been given..Learn to serve....Not all are as lucky to get a good life like yours.
Make a place for yourself, move away from the ordinary,pick up your special talent and stop being selfish!!

Humans, or Ants and insects?

Watching news on TV a chill goes up my spine and I start wondering wether our feelings are finally dead? Have we become into thick skinned,heart hearted,emotionless,living organisms? The value for life and especially fellow Humans has greatly reduced. They now seem to me that they are no more than Ants or Insects......available in plenty and helpless.
Have we become God's worst creations? Do we deserve to get all that we have?
I fear....we are losing our way and digging our graves and following the road to doom!!!
Fellow Humans ! Show your inner strength and for heaven's sake use youe brains! I pray to God that Good sense comes to humanity at large.........

Ramblings!

Too much is happening around me, but not so much about myself. The Olympics proved a lot of points and showed the world that there are a lot of competitors to be reckoned with.There is competition and challenge at every step.But I wonder if the Human understands......
Gustav and Katrina are still not enough to show man his dependency on fate and destiny.A new record, a new name...every year new surprises......news never stops.....yet !!! the human has his own calculations.
Nature,Experience are there to tech but we will not learn.Is stubbornness our basic character?Don't we believe in another power but ourselves?Should we not give any value to previous warnings?Are we an adamant lot?Is our education misleading us to inflate our EGO?
The African American is now an honourable person......President or not.The women have proven equality beyond doubt about performance in all Fields.Yet I feel that the femininity of a woman has to be preserved and so also the manliness of man.
Corruption,Deceit,Misuse of power,and all the wrong logic,ideas,thinking,.......is an inborn thing but those who have the good sense should have the courage to tell them and oppose their actions !!Illogical hunger for having,wanting,snatching,etc....greed of all kinds is surely very wrong and it should be curbed,stopped,dealt with!!!!!
We are HUMANS not Animals!!!
Why are not we behaving well and proper, why is our restraint wanting? why is our ethics going bad? why is our duty failing?Why are we such an irresponsible lot?

India finally strikes Individual Gold!

It was not even 24 hrs after my earlier post that Abhinav Bindra disproved or proved my point and contention. He has given India it's first Individual Gold ever and by which he has done what was most needed by so many Indians.Lead by Example !!

The generations to come will now have their Own National Idol.The government will have hopefully take more serious interest in sports in particular and it's promotion as a subject in schools and college.The Media will now lay stress on Individual Talent and Capacities for social support towards the pride of the Nation.Parents will have more incentive to make their child a winner if he possesses the talent!Health will now be a bigger issue for physical fitness and achievement in sports!

I hope Abhinav(Unique) is now not merely a name given to new borns but an Idol of achievement for growing kids. I hope he is a lesson to all educationists , Principals of schools and colleges ,Leaders of all organisations and institutions to give Individual sports talent it's due and worthy place with their full backing and support.

This Proud moment has given me drive and motivation for further achievement in my own field and fight with readiness of an International competition.

More than full marks to China

This is the way one can put all arguments and misconceptions to rest!!!...CHINA has done it with a finesse! The opening ceremony of the Olympics.....was really an eye opener for one and all who watched it.
I was .....all the adjectives in the dictionary! Dumbfounded and with tears of joy while I watched with AMAZEMENT. What the people present saw was really making me jealous to no extent.Lucky people who could see it live,in person,without media in between.I was simply envious.In fact even people with a broad mind and heart would too!!!!
I salute that country! I have friends who have been there and those who made me feel I should have a visit too! I also appreciate the "'ONE RELIGION'''' or even No religion environment!Work & progress,go together.Focus,corruption free atmosphere,single window clearance and infrastructural support lead to making of a Nation with an Ideal!!
When will we learn?The world's second largest country with a sad Olympics record, low level accredition in behaviour,cleanliness,tourist safety,sad infrastructure ,having a high corruption record, high pollution and safety record, and so much more....I do accept we do have good things but what about our shortcomings????
A parallel economy in Undeclared wealth, religious sector with it's various celebrations,mafia & bollywood films,political underhand dealings......and many more.I doubt India will even come near to the Chinese progress or economy.If it does.....I will be the happiest person on this globe.

The only country with the longest and largest communist idealism.I must say needs a bow!!
