Discourse 8: The Stages of Ascent to Moksha-1.

CONCLUDING MESSAGE:


Discourse 8: The Stages of Ascent to Moksham-1.

Sadhana is the way to moksha. It has no other significance. Moksha is freedom from bondage. But it is necessary for everyone to know whether one is really in bondage or is really free. If we are free, then there is nothing to do. Let us be happy in this world.

Does anyone recognise that he or she is in bondage? If this question is put before anyone, they will be surprised. “What kind of bondage is there in me? I seem to be perfectly all right in my life. I can go about anywhere I like. I have all the necessary amenities for a comfortable existence. I am really happy. I require nothing. God has given me everything.” If this is the case, you are really a free person, and there is no need to strive for further freedom because of the conviction that you are already free.

The impossibility to even recognise that one is in bondage is a worse form of bondage. To know that one is bound is a great virtue. But to think one is free even while one is bound, and not being able to recognise the kind of bondage in which one is—there are no words to describe this most idiotic condition of human nature.

The beginning of sadhana is the consciousness of suffering. We must be immensely aware that we are in a state of agony. The bondage that we are referring to here is not an ordinary insufficiency that we have in our workaday life. It is a malady that has crept into our very existence.

Our total life is free movement on our part. But there is a root within us that is weeping because of this bondage, due to which the soul itself suffers. This is the bondage of the existence itself. To believe that we are really existing is ignorance on our part. The fact is that we are on a process of movement. We have moved continuously from previous lives to the present life, and we shall move from this present life to future lives. The movement is such that it is continuous, like the flow of a river. Buddha's wisdom recognised that bondage is the imagination that one truly exists in a state of stability. We are pushed forward by the requirements of our future incarnation, and also pushed from behind by the actions that we performed in our previous lives. We are propelled from both sides. The previous life's consequences urge us to move onward, and the possibilities of a future life pull us from the front.

This fact is not known to us. Ignorance is sometimes bliss, as it is well said. Total ignorance looks like total bliss. That we are caught up in a whirlpool of evolutionary process and we are helplessly driven in a direction of which we have no knowledge at all, that we cannot even lift a finger of our own accord unless forces outside us cooperate with us—we cannot breathe, we cannot think, and we cannot sleep, the heart cannot beat, the lungs cannot perform their functions unless forces transcendent to our personality operate—is not known to us.

#Explained: Why Indian Migrants Are Being Deported from the US by Military Planes? Check Reasons, Challenge & Concern: Jagran Josh.

================================================================================================

Indian nationals are being deported from the United States primarily due to immigration law violations, including unlawful entry and visa overstays. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has intensified enforcement, leading to an increase in repatriations. India and the U.S. are working together to manage irregular migration.

What are the Reasons for the Deportation of Indian Migrants from the US?

Illegal Entry: Many Indian migrants attempt to cross into the U.S. through Mexico or Canada without proper documentation.

Visa Overstay: A significant number of Indian nationals exceed their permitted stay duration.

Stricter Immigration Policies: The U.S. has increased its enforcement of immigration laws, leading to more deportations.

Criminal Backgrounds: Those involved in fraudulent activities or criminal offenses face deportation.

What are Recent Developments Regarding Deportations rends?

Deportation Trends:

October 22, 2024: A charter flight deported around 100 Indian nationals, primarily from Punjab.

FY 2024: The U.S. deported approximately 1,100 Indian migrants lacking legal status.

January 2025 Proposal: India has offered to repatriate 18,000 undocumented Indian citizens to strengthen bilateral relations and protect visa programs for skilled workers and students.

U.S.-India Cooperation:

India and the U.S. have initiated discussions to streamline legal migration and address the issue of irregular immigration.

The Indian government is actively assisting U.S. authorities in identifying and repatriating undocumented nationals.

How India’s Diplomatic Stand on Deportation?

India’s Response to US Deportation Policies

Indian officials have assured the US of their cooperation in taking back undocumented Indian immigrants.

This aligns with India’s diplomatic priority to ensure that legal immigration channels remain unaffected.

The Indian government has sought to ensure that mass deportations do not become a public spectacle, which could create political sensitivities at home.

Key Diplomatic Engagements:

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has held discussions with top US officials, including:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel

Energy Secretary nominee Chris Wright

India has emphasized that skilled professionals and students must not be affected by stringent immigration policies.

What are the Challenges for US Authorities?

Challenges for the US Authorities are:

Enforcement Targets: ICE field offices are given daily quotas for detaining undocumented immigrants.

Resource Constraints: ICE has only about 40,000 detention beds and is relying on military resources.

Guantanamo Bay Detention: Plans are underway to house up to 30,000 detainees at the controversial facility.

How Military is Involved in Deportation?

Use of Military Planes for Deportation

The US has deployed C-17 military transport aircraft for deportations.

This method, though effective, is costly; a recent deportation flight to Guatemala reportedly cost $4,675 per migrant.

India-bound deportations mark the farthest destination covered under this initiative.

The Pentagon has also facilitated flights for 5,000+ immigrants from detention centers in El Paso, Texas, and San Diego, California.

What are the Concerns About Legal Immigration & Skilled Professionals?

Indian Students and Skilled Workers in the US

Total Indian students in the US (as of May 2024): 351,000 (primarily in STEM fields)

H-1B Visas Issued to Indians (2022-23): 72% of the 400,000 total

Top Indian IT Companies Benefiting from H-1B:

Infosys

TCS

HCL

Wipro

India’s Stance on H-1B and Legal Immigration

Indian officials argue that students and skilled professionals contribute positively to the US economy.

Trump has expressed support for the H-1B program, stating that the US needs "competent" professionals.

The concern is that broader immigration restrictions might indirectly impact legal immigrants.

How do both nations stand on the Political and Strategic Implications regarding deportations?

For India:

Maintaining smooth legal immigration routes is a priority.

Avoiding high-visibility deportations to prevent domestic backlash.

Ensuring that skilled migration remains unaffected.

For the US:

Addressing domestic concerns on illegal immigration.

Balancing bilateral relations with India while implementing stricter policies.

Avoiding legal challenges to mass deportation efforts.

Conclusion:

The US-India immigration issue is evolving as part of a broader strategy for migration enforcement. While India is open to taking back illegal immigrants, it remains committed to ensuring that legitimate travel and employment opportunities for Indians in the US remain unaffected. The involvement of military planes in deportations signals an aggressive push by the Trump administration but also raises concerns about diplomatic sensitivities and logistical challenges.

##Basant Panchami 2025: Significance and Benefits of Chanting Mantras on Saraswati Puja; Know from Spiritual Guru: Jagran English.

======================================================================================

Basant Panchami 2025: Saraswati Puja or Basant Panchami is a significant festival in Hinduism, celebrated on the fifth day of the bright half of the Magha month. This auspicious day marks the arrival of spring and is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the embodiment of knowledge, music and arts. The tithi of Basant Panchami is considered ideal for initiating new ventures, especially those related to education, creativity, and personal growth. Devotees worship Goddess Saraswati, offering prayers and flowers, and seek her blessings for wisdom, clarity and success. This year, Basant Panchami is being observed on 2nd February 2025.

Dr. Shri Krishna Kinkar Ji, Shri Krishna Charit Manas (Bhagavat) Kathavachak and Spiritual Orator shares the significance of Basant Panchami and highlights the importance of chanting mantras on this sacred day below:

Significance Of Basant Panchami:

In India, we commemorate the arrival of the spring season (Basant Ritu) with the Basant Panchami festival. There are innumerable tales and poems about the springtime in our literature. The creator of this natural transition deserves all the praise for this wonderful transformation. The Saptarishis (Seven Sages) should be worshipped on Basant Panchami, also called Rishi Panchami. On this day, women are urged to observe a fast.

The beauty and significance of Basant Panchami are highlighted in numerous religious scriptures, including the well-known Granth Shri Krishna Charit Manas (Rasayan Mahakavya), written by Jagadguru Shri Priyadarshi Ji Maharaj. Worshiping the goddess of wisdom and the arts, Saraswati, on this day is said to be extremely fortunate. This day should be devoted to devotional singing (kirtan-bhajan) in addition to worship.

Basant Panchami honours Goddess Saraswati, symbolising knowledge, music and arts, marking the arrival of spring and new beginnings, with devotees seeking wisdom and prosperity.  

Importance And Benefits of Chanting Mantras on Basant Panchami:


Chanting and experiencing the power of mantras are essential fundamentals of Basant Panchami. One of the core components of Indian culture is the chanting of mantras. According to the Manas Granth, chanting mantras improves our life by calming the mind and engendering a wonderful energy within us.

Basant Panchami 2025: Celebrating Wisdom & Vibrant Yellow Traditions

Reciting mantras with faith and concentration has a very powerful result. During Basant Panchami, group mantra chanting has a special significance. We participated in group chanting during the celebration to convey positive energy around the room. Group chanting creates vibrations that encourage mental and inner calm.

Chanting in groups creates a sense of community that significantly improves the individual experience. Thus, the Basant Panchami festival is intended to spread a message of joy, fervour and spiritual enlightenment. We can experience the power of mantras and chanting on this auspicious occasion, leading to inner tranquillity and positive life transformation.

###Reasons for the closure of industries in Kerala include:

Labour issues with franchisees

Fresh labour unrest

Economic impact due to COVID-19

Comparative manufacturing sector

Manufacturing facilities shifting out of the state.

=============================================================================

Kerala Coir industry:

Future of coir industry in Kerala hangs by a thread:

Almost all big players in the industry have opened units in Tamil Nadu and are increasingly shifting their base to the neighbouring state.

=============================================================================================

ALAPPUZHA: The golden fibre which spread Kerala’s fame far and wide, employing nearly five lakh people in the state and playing a pivotal role in developing its economy, is losing its sheen.

Nearly three decades after another traditional sector, the cashew industry, migrated to Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, the coir industry is also bidding adieu to the Kerala.Reason:  Militant trade unionism, high wages and government’s unfriendly policies.Though the government has been making tall claims over the success of the recently- held Coir Kerala Fest, the signals emerging from the industry paint a different picture.Almost all big players in the industry have opened units in Tamil Nadu and are increasingly shifting their base to the neighbouring state.

N C John and Sons, a leading manufacturer of coir mats, has opened a huge facility for manufacturing tufted coir mats in Tamil Nadu while Travancore Mats and Mattings has started operations at Bhavani. A unit of the Travancore Coco Tuft will begin functioning in Tirunelveli next year. Kerala Balers has started a unit in Kanyakumari while the Aspinwall and Co Travancore Ltd has migrated to Pollachi.

D C Mills, Charankattu Coir Manufacturing Co, Maitra Home Decor and Techno Exports are some of the big names in the process of shifting. “In Tamil Nadu, the labour cost is very low. Here we’ve to pay Rs 900, including allowances, to a worker per day while in Tamil Nadu, it is just Rs 368 per day. The government there is very supportive and the process of getting an industry sanction is hassle-free,” said Travancore Coco Tuft MD V V Pavithran.

“Here the first-day wage of an unskilled labourer is Rs 840, which includes a minimum wage of Rs 540 and allowances amounting to 60 per cent of it. Even in New Delhi, the average wage is only in the range of Rs 250-350,” said an exporter.

In fact, the migration process had started decades ago, with the shifting of defibring units. Earlier, the fibre was extracted from the husk after retting it in lakes for nearly 10 months. The retted husk was beaten with wooden mallets to extract the fibre. It was then spun into yarn on ratts, traditional spinning  wheels.With the mechanisation of the coir sector, big units with a capacity of defibring 8,000 husks a day sprang up at Pollachi. The presence of big coconut groves made procurement of large quantity of husks easy in that state, whereas husk collection was an arduous task in Kerala with small-land holdings and scattered coconut groves.

Later, Tamil Nadu started mechanised spinning companies which supplied long and evenly spun yarn, tailor-made for Kerala’s modern units. This spelt doom for the traditional coir workers in the state.

The shifting of the manufacturing sector, which contributes nearly Rs 2,000 crore to the Kerala’s exchequer, is expected to deliver a body blow to its frail economy. “It’s not surprising. The meteoric rise in land value is a major factor scaring away the entrepreneurs. The land value in Pollachi is Rs 16 lakh per acre while it runs to crores in Kerala. Cheap labour is another reason. “Though the labour charge here is three times that of Tamil Nadu, the productivity is low. We had to abandon the move to increase productivity due to stiff resistance. The competition is tough and we’ve to increase proactivity to survive,” said Federation of Indian Coir Exporters Associations (FICEA) Chairman Vivek Venugopal, who is also the managing director of William Goodacre and Sons (India) Pvt Ltd.

“The initiative of Coir Minister T M Thomas Isaac to bail out the industry is commendable. It’s providing employment to around 30,000 workers in the state and the government has the responsibility to protect the livelihood of the poor. Till now, we used to procure the yarn and mattings from the cooperative societies. But now the government has decided to provide PVC tufting machines to the societies which will make them our competitors. We’re investing huge amounts for setting up factories and the cooperative societies are setting up the same utility using government subsidy.

This is an unhealthy situation. The government should ensure a level playing field,” he said.Praising Isaac for his efforts to promote production of geotextiles, Vivek said the move would be beneficial to hand spinners in the unorganised sector. The minister knows the problems plaguing the industry. The government should initiate steps to ensure a conducive environment and stop the coir industry from migrating to neighbouring states,” he said.

“Peace of mind is a big factor. In Tamil Nadu, the government and workers welcome us with open hands whereas in Kerala we’re demonised by the trade unions. The workers raise unreasonable demands and the trade union leaders are forced to support them. They are also under pressure as the workers will desert the union if they refuse to support a demand,” said an exporter in Alappuzha.

An owner of a now-defunct coir unit in Alappuzha said entrepreneurs have always been portrayed as exploiters.

“It is a question of attitude. We’ve been taught that entrepreneurs are exploiters and the workers have to stage tools-down strike to protect their rights. Nobody thinks of the adverse impact of a strike. Unfortunately, our politicos are after populism and, in the process, we’ve forgotten the goal named prosperity.”Gaurikutty, who works at a manual coir-spinning unit at Neeravil, Kollam, said big pay might be true in the organsed sector, but she and several others in the unorganised sector were getting only Rs 145-190 per day.

“We can’t make both ends meet with the money. We’ve to depend on other jobs like those offered under rural employent guarantee scheme,” said Gaurikutty. 

In fact, it was the 60-day-long strike in the coir sector in 2001-2002 which doomed the coir handloom industry in the state. Alappuzha was famed for the coir and jute mattings  industry at that time. Shipments were blocked due to the strike and multinationals like Walmart and Ikea, who used to purchase handloom coir mattings, shifted to the power-loom sector. This devastated the handloom coir sector in Kerala.

The mechanised coir sector faced a similar crisis in 2009-10. The industry witnessed three strikes within the span of 18 months and each one lasted three to four weeks. The manufacturers were forced to defer bulk shipments which invited the ire of retailing giants like Walmart and Home Decor.

Exports and volume:

Though there has been a substantial growth in export of coir products from Kerala, there is a drop in the actual quantity of coir exported. The quantity of coir used in coir products has decreased as 60 per cent of the material used in PVC tufted coir mat and rubberised coir mat are non-coir products.

A revival of Sanatan Dharma and politics around it is slowly taking shape under BJP’s young leader K Annamalai. Santana Dharma has been in Tamil Nadu for as long as it existed in the rest of India, tracing back to the Vedic times. It is not possible to keep that fountainhead of Sanatan Dharma muted forever with the rock of Dravidianism….”

===============================================================================

Disincentives generated by successive governments in Kerala through imposing artificial barriers on the freedom of farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs have resulted in the collapse of agriculture in the state.

The state of Kerala has witnessed a significant decline in agricultural production in the last few decades. In this context, Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR) has conducted a study: A stagnant agriculture in Kerala: The role of the state that elucidates how excessive government intervention in the form of policies and protective practices, namely, those in land, irrigation, agricultural credit system, price and procurement has created distortions in the agricultural market. This, in turn, has resulted in hampering the growth of agriculture in the state.

Land reforms that killed entrepreneurship:

The Land Reforms Act implemented in 1970 set a ceiling on the absolute size of landholdings by landlords, aimed at redistributing the surplus land among landless labourers and poor peasants. The method of implementation of land reforms in the state, however, has resulted in the fragmentation of landholdings. At present, the percentage of marginal farmers with landholding size less than one hectare is the highest in Kerala among the Indian states, while the agricultural growth here was among the least in India in 2012, according to the statistics provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India.

The imposition of a ceiling on the size of landholdings has resulted in the elimination of scope for entrepreneurship in agriculture. Land was seized from entrepreneurs, who helped in improving the production of food and non-food crops in Kerala through innovative technologies. These lands were distributed among cooperative societies, which were predominantly under political parties. This resulted in large scale corruption in farming practices, leading to a rise in the cost of operation and high cumulative losses, as well as production based on non-scientific methods by marginal farmers.

Cooperative Farming or Coercive Farming?

The Land Utilisation Order, 1967, and the Kerala Conservation of Paddy and Wetland Act, 2008, in the name of incentivising paddy farming, pressurised the farmers to carry on food crop cultivation. This was irrespective of the farming conditions and the low profitability of paddy cultivation, putting artificial constraints on the freedom of farmers.

Studies based on personal interviews with farmers indicate that there were incidents of widespread crop destruction led by powerful agricultural labour unions targeted at small and marginal farmers, while powerful farmers, who were using paddy lands for construction purposes, were left alone.

However, even after, and partly due to, such practices, area under paddy cultivation and production of rice declined significantly. At the same time, these practices created disincentives to farmers for overall cultivation, resulting in the shortage of agricultural labour. A commensurate mechanisation improvement did not take place due to different policy regulations like the Kerala Coconut Husks Control Order, 1973, and protests by trade unions against farm mechanisation, indirectly supported by the successive state governments.

Mismanaged Irrigation:

Kerala had a centralised management for the irrigation system, which was exclusive of farmers. This government-managed irrigation system was criticised for mismanagement, rent seeking and nepotism by irrigation officials and politicians. In 1985, Command Area Development Authorities (CADAs) were formed in the state to involve farmers in the management of irrigation systems. However, their aim was not achieved due to disregard of farmers’ initiatives with government orders dominating their organisations, farmers losing faith in the officials who promised regular supply of water, constant interference of politicians and the limited role of farmer organisations.

Most of the irrigation projects under CADAs were designed for the irrigation of wetland crops, mainly rice, neglecting the specific irrigation requirements of other crops. All these have resulted in very low irrigation efficiency in the state, thus hampering its agricultural growth.

No credits to agricultural credit either:

The agricultural credit market in the state has been affected by excessive government intervention, which has resulted in creating distortions in the agricultural credit system inhibiting productive capital formation in the sector. Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS), aimed at providing an economical source of short- and medium-term agricultural credit to farmers in Kerala, were affected by bureaucracy and excessive government reliance. Along with these, high nonperforming assets, capital inadequacy and opposition to automation in PACS resulted in poor service of credit delivery to farmers.

According to the latest statistics, only 10.55 per cent of the total disbursement of Rs 71,301.88 crore by PACS were utilised for agriculture and only 0.21 per cent of this agricultural credit was for long-term agricultural purposes. District Cooperative Banks also gave priority to short-term credit over medium-term agricultural credit like PACS. These resulted in an increase in the share of production credit in the total agricultural credit and a significant decline in the share of investment credit, which is the main driver of private capital formation in agriculture.

The model of a centralist-planned economy was followed in Kerala with agricultural products to be sold to the government at government-determined Minimum Support Prices (MSP), and not based on market demand and supply conditions. This created price distortions in the market.

Kerala is reported to be the state with a steep rise in the government procurement of rice, of around 48 per cent in the last few years, while there has been a significant decline in the production of rice with a negative growth rate in this period, with lower availability of rice in the open market. Excessive government intervention in the marketing mechanisms in agriculture, namely, restricting marketing through cooperative societies, created artificial constraints on farmers, thus disincentivising them and ultimately leading to the collapse of agriculture in the state.

The collapse of agriculture:

The study thus shows that disincentives generated by the successive governments in Kerala through imposing artificial barriers on the freedom of farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs have resulted in the collapse of agriculture in the state. The interests of farmers and market conditions were not considered while framing the policies and practices.
