As Yoga is now over 80 billion dollar (over 5 lakh crores INR) industry worldwide, as usual greedy west (along with some ignorant useful idiot Indians/Gurus) is gearing up to de-link Yoga from Hinduism, making it “Secular” , “Atheist” Exercise or kind of cool Gymnastic thing!
Here is detail analysis for all ignorant – Why Yoga is strictly Hindu, which can’t be separated even if Western Abrahmics try hard to patent/copyright or Appropriate/Digest it to claim ownership!
Also understand clear definitions of important Sanskrit words (used in Yoga and Mediations) which are non-translatable into English (common mistakes people do):
In china, building BIG is sign of Success!!…Chengdu, 4th largest city in China with population of 40 millions (4 Crores), now has world’s commercial building “New Century Global Centre” , size of 329 football fields, can accommodates 20 Sydney Opera buildings inside!
Size of this Mall is 1.9 million sq meters or more than 20 million sq ft (1 million = 10 lakhs). It has…
150 + Malls/Outlets inside!
Indoor Aquarium,
Indoor Artificial Beach
Indoor Water park
LCD screen of 150 m (50 Storage high) i.e more than Statue of Liberty (30 storage high)
On the other side, by creating world’s biggest construction bubble for faster growth/GDP figures to “Catch/Copy West” mindless rush, ordinary Chinese people seems to be lagging behind the plan…They have to borrow to buy all this high-price places leaving behind their ancestors towns/farmlands, etc to work as labors in big newly constructed cities.
Such cities now has majority Middle Class people i.e. low-Consumption but high class city malls?? Result will be this…
Urban Decay – Ghost Malls & Ghost City at Tianjin-China
Bad Construction – Topple buildings in China
People fear faulty Escalators at Shopping Malls in China
Newly built Bullet Train Accident in China
– FYI…Japanese Shinkansen Bullet Train, which has carried over 10 billion passengers since launched in 1964, is only bullet train service in the world without any accident!
All this is happening because of mindless fad of Copy West Consumerism agenda leaving behind beautiful 5000+ years’ Chinese legacy & culture…To understand why this Boom & Doom is happening in China or in West, we need to understand 2 basic approaches of human development, a country adopts, which directly depends on its Faith/ Belief systems…
West (Top-Bottom) Vs East (Bottom-Up) Lifestyle:
Top-Bottom approach – Western (Abrahmic 2500+ years traditions)
Bottom-Top approach – Eastern/Indian (Dharmic 12000+ years traditions)
In Top-Down approach, top leaders/rulers/Elites plan lifestyle for masses as per their Agenda followed by Propaganda & PR machineries…This approach might be suitable for Western Abrahmics traditions but not eastern Sanatan Dharmic Traditions (Hinduism/Buddhist/Jains/Sikhs) in Asia, where generally Bottom-UP approach works i.e. people decides what they want, rulers/politicians/leaders must plan policies accordingly!
Another important belief comparison, Western Abrahmic tradition focuses more on Objective things than Subjective….Eastern/Indian Dharmic tradition focuses more on Subjective things than Objective!
Thus BIG construction (Objective / visually) or Expensive Project means Good in Abrahmic tradition…not necessarily true for Dharmic tradition. Dharmic way says, if Big is needed build it, if not required don’t waste resources just for Objective show-off!
Since last 5000+ years China is like India’s cultural brother & partner with presence of ancient Hinduism/Buddhism (Dharmic) lifestyle, which is Bottom-Up approach….
Suddenly, since last 30 years, China tried to copy West (Abrahmics Top-bottom) & trying to destroy last 5000 years of social lifestyle without analyzing impact on Social, Emotional & Economical level on people.
Such transformations from “Bottom-Top” to “Top-Bottom” should take slowly in 100 years only if people demands for it… else it would be stressful & wasteful for country.
Ancient Hindu civilization had well planned cities with underground drainage system, planned houses and water channels to every home, etc as per their need.
See Dholavira-Gujarat excavations in India or Mohanjodaro-Harappa cities flourished on the banks of Saraswati & Sindhu Rivers (what west deliberately propagates it as separate Indus civilization to break it from continuous 12000+ years old mother Hindu civilization).
In 19th century, Chandigadh and Gandhinagar planned cities (typical western Top-Bottom approach) were built in India during British time, but till date they couldn’t be important cities in India…However, well planned areas or new suburbs, as per people’s demand (Bottom-Top approach), near big City are popular in Indian cities like Navi Mumbai (New Bombay) or Delhi-NCR, or in Banglaloru, Hydrabad, etc…
Recently, Lavasa near Pune/Mumbai was built as planned city (Top-Bottom approach) in heart of Sayandri hills and riverside, but it is not yet popular as it’s far away from old city. It is now just weekend hangout spot for Pune people to see landscapes and riverside!…Kinnda Ghost city of India??
Lavsa City-near Pune
See- India plans to upgrade top 100 cities as SMART cities as per demand
Hope Indians are learning lessons from this…mindless copying of West is a disaster!
Yes..this also shows too much Materialism & Consumerism destroys civilization!
Interesting sarcastic stuff to understand Indian so called (pseudo) “Intellectuals” in Media, History & Literatures 🙂
Kindly Note…Western Abrahmic concept of Left Wing Vs Right Wing society division don’t necessarily apply in India…
Indian Left “Intellectuals” = Pro-Right Wing of West
i.e. they are Anti-Hindu majority and anti-Indian Unity! This is why people rejected them!
This western euro-centric Divide & Rule game ( pro-minority..anti-mejority) to fool masses is being played in many parts of the world, not just in India.
Traditionally, since Hindu Vedas scripture revelations about 10000+ years (thousands of years before western Abrahmic religions are formed around 2200 years back) , India is all about Dharma Vs Adharma….
Foreigners and Anglo-Sexon “Whitewashed” ignorant Indians are confused about this.
Dharma’s (Hinduism) two sides are VIGYAN (Sceince) & ADYATMA (spirituality). It adopts both high-tech Smart Phone and deep inner Meditation/Spirituality!
Dharma = Natural Laws or Laws of Nature
Dharma = Modernization withought Westernization
Dharma = Unity in Diversity
Therefore, very recent 2000 years of western Abrahmic concept of Right Vs Left wing division is irrelevant in India!
We Indians only enjoy daily Comedy TV shows of our Western Funded Confused #Presstitues Puppets planted in Media, History and Literatures proclaiming they are “Liberals” Intellectuals” “Secular” “Intolerant” (new term addition after all past tactics are failed) blah blah blah…Yawnnn….and they are destroying whole Media and Literature industry!
