  Babasaheb: A man beyond hatred - A linguistic approach Babasaheb, a man of huge spiritual, social, judicial, and philosophical magnitude also known to the mass as - Dr. B. R. Ambedkar has been always an epicenter of pride, prejudice and partiality. Both the political and so-called apolitical mobs have been leading or discussing Babasaheb as a rebel against the Indian culture and faith ending up in a quagmire of indecisiveness in the minds of young and old eventually painting hatred amongst the mass. Let us analyze another aspect of Babasaheb’s life and personality today in a more impartial, linguistic, apolitical yet astringent to many for the same reasons. On his day of Jati (Birth in Pali), let us offer him an impartial offering by bringing out the linguistic mind behind this great personality... Being the fourteenth child in the Sakpal family (Born on 14 April 1891 in Madhya Pradesh) Babasaheb was passionate about studies from the earliest of his age. His father Ramji Sakpal was a

           Vande guruparaṃparāṃ                 (I bow down to the lineage of guru’s order)     Introduction The Sanskrit word Guru means the dispeller of darkness or the one who leads us towards the light of immortal wisdom.   In Indian culture Guru is the soul preserver and guide of one’s life. He is the moral, ethical and spiritual support and also the light bearer in the lowest times who shows the path of four purusharthas (four human goals) – Dharma (righteousness) , Artha (wealth), Kama (desires) and Moksha (salvation). Guru is given the utmost respect right after one’s mother and father. He is even seen as the supreme soul himself* [1] . So unlike the English words “Teacher” or “Master”, which are used to synonymies with the word Guru, are completely inefficient. The culture of Sanatana dharma depicts six types of Gurus according to their attributes, i.e.- 1) the one who inspires ,   2) one who reforms , 3) one who recites , 4)   one who guides , 5) one who teache

                  What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you         imagine, you create.               - Buddha     How does a pencil work without a sharpener? It's mender is definitely needed to trim down the wood carefully and bring out the sharp pencil lead that writes. So is our life. A sharp blade like agent is essential in cutting down the covering called ignorance in the form of ego, greed , jealousy and other negative aspects to bring out the main ingredient of fruitful life called wisdom. It is important to note that the beauty of this shining wisdom is observed only when the contrary darkness is seen. The past experiences, tough times we underwent, criticism – let all these be that sharp agent that is going to mend us and ultimately show us the right path. With relevance to the contemporary situation, it is necessary that we comprehend this fact. Many lives have succumbed to this pandemic   and it has instilled a sense of fear in each of us. It

    hato v ā pr ā psyasi svargaṁ        " jitv ā v ā bhogṣyase mahiṁ    tasm ā d uttiṣṭha kaunteya          yuddh ā ya kṛta-niścayaḥ"             -- Bhagavat Geeta 2.37 ( Either you will be killed on the battlefield and attain the heavenly planets, or you will conquer and enjoy the earthly kingdom. Therefore, stand up with determination and fight O son of kunti!) The word decision can be traced back to its origin Latin parent word ‘ decisionem ’ meaning ‘an agreement’; which later became decision as now perceived. The word literally means ‘to cut’. As intellect has its nature to bifurcate anything in order to understand, decision as a part of intellect’s attributes takes the same of comprehension, i.e. cutting. Though gross in nature decision is so subtle and substantial to our life that almost every thinking being is recognized by their decision making capacities. The great visionary, religious reformer, yogi and philosopher Swami Vivekananda once said- “The diffe
