I afraid Muslims have shown their highway either. They are fully engaged with cleaning Hindus from Pakistan and Bangladesh as bluntly as they can. How many minorities did they kill and rape during 1971? How many were forced to leave Bangladesh and Pakistan since then? Do you think people do not see that? A person like QR would say sorry but he would encourage his fellow friends to keep the pressure on. Its all double talk, my friend. People like him loves secularism in non-Muslim countries but not in his own backyard. What does that tell you?

As I said, ancient India's hatred for non-Hindus is also goes back to ancient times. It has gotten a bit better from the time Buddhists were driven away from the very birthplace of Buddhism (India) but still anti-Muslim (Recently anti-Christian) feeling is pretty strong among middle and upper class Indians. The Sangh has been steadily doing it since as far back as 1947, when the ICS officer Madhav Godbole seized a trunk full of RSS maps and plans for ethnic cleansing of Muslims.

>>>>>>>>>> because of that environment Bangabandhu chose to work for Muslim League and worked hard to create Pakistan. He was progressive and mostly took positions to reflect aspiration of people. Which lead him to take a different position during 71 and rightfully so. We hope India will lead the region as a beacon of democracy and motivate other countries to empower democracy in their system and focus on protecting common people from religious Bigots. Shalom!

News Analysis
Moment of Truth
Dr. Mohammad Manzoor Alam asks countrymen and women to give a moment's thought to where the country is headed for as corporate media tomtoms Modi as next Prime Minister.

Narendra Modi of Gujarat 2002 infamy is on a roll. India's corporate media is acting as if the silent majority spread over villages, talukas, mofassils, district towns, state capitals and NCR does not exist, as if it is not the "Little Citizen" who will decide the future of India with his precious vote, but the corporate boss sitting in his air-conditioned cabin and the moneybag manipulating things from behind the screen. People are still important, and urban middle class Modi fans are not the only people India has: Modiwadis are just a small fraction of the sea of humanity called Bharat.

What is bothersome is the inspiration behind Moditva, and the methodologies and modalities it employs. The inspiration, as the RSS stalwart Guru Golwalker clearly explained in his We, or Our Nationhood Defined decades back, is Hitler and his Nazi party. Golwalker approvingly talks about Hitler's genocide of Jews to be replicated in India by a similar mass murder of Muslims. Since then the Sangh and its fronts like BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal and others have been busy creating new opportunities for mass murder of Muslims through smaller "riots" (like 37 episodes under Akhilesh rule in UP) or bigger pogroms like Ayodhya 92 and Gujarat 2002.

The Sangh has been steadily doing it since as far back as 1947, when the ICS officer Madhav Godbole seized a trunk full of RSS maps and plans for ethnic cleansing of Muslims
. They have not always succeeded in polarising and dividing people because of the primarily secular and plural nature of India. For reaching 102 seats in Parliament from a mere two they staged the mass killing of Muslims in 1992-93. Mr Modi took up the Sangh torch of hatred from LK Advani, who had emerged as a "hero" in their voters' eyes just because of the anti-Muslim hysteria he had created.

Modi was protected from being sacked in 2002 by then Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Advani. His sacking would have been justified because of his dereliction of duty (to some, collusion with rioters) in the anti-Muslim pogrom. The Sangh has consistently been undermining the Constitution's secular values. During NDA rule it even tried to change it.

What is happening today is ominously similar to what happened in the Germany of 1933 and the rise of Hitler with the help of German industry. Today, some of India's major industrialists and their corporate media are openly backing Mr Modi as the future prime minster who will increase their profits by demolishing all the democratic and secular institutions of the state of India and by ensuring maximum profit on investments. What happens to people who are not industrialists, the preponderant majority of this country?

Mahabharata, the account of the greatest fratricidal war ever, fascinates both Mr Modi and Mr Advani. A Mahabharata against Muslims of India is the dream of the Sangh stalwarts. The choice between Mr Modi and Mr Advani is that between a rock and a hard place.

By and large, the choice today is between constitutional rule and fascist thuggery; between the common good of the masses, the farmers, the working classes in villages, towns and cities, the peace-loving people of goodwill everywhere on one side and corporate money and Hitler's chelas on the other.

The choice is very clear, very unambiguous. It is a choice between the idea of India and chaos.

Re: [mukto-mona] Just 20 minutes of yoga significantly improves brain function [Imp]



Promoting Yoga as a panacea for all ills is misleading. I wonder how many geniuses in India actually practice yoga, and how many yoga-gurus are in the forefront of innovations. Yes, it took a long time to accept yoga in the western world, but that did not stop progress, and there are many more geniuses in the western world in spite of not accepting the yoga earlier. Yoga is just another form of exercise, which suits the life-style of some people. That's all.

Just 20 minutes of yoga significantly improves brain function
Yoga Vs Aerobic [It took 5000 years for Modern world to rediscover importance of Yoga. This shows that our ancestors were more knowledgeable then us.]

WASHINGTON: A new study has suggested that doing yoga for as little as 20 minutes may be able to boost your brain power.

Researchers found that subjects who participated in a single yoga session had better speed and accuracy scores on working memory and inhibitory control tests than after they tried an aerobic exercise session of the same length.

These tests are indicative of a person's ability to maintain focus, as well as absorb and remember new information, and aerobic exercises had previously been shown to boost scores in those areas.

In a press release, lead author Neha Gothe, a professor of kinesiology, health and sport studies at Wayne State University in Detroit, explained that Yoga is an ancient Indian science and way of life that includes not only physical movements and postures but also regulated breathing and meditation.
Thought the practice involves an active attentional or mindfulness component, she said, its potential benefits have not been thoroughly explored.
In the study, 30 female undergraduate students were instructed to do a 20-minute session of Hatha yoga, which involved seated, standing and supine positions. The exercises involved relaxing different muscle groups, regulated breathing and isometric contractions, meaning the joint angle or the muscle length does not change during the process. Meditation and deep breathing were also involved.

The subjects were also instructed to complete a 20-minute aerobic exercise where they walked or jogged on a treadmill. The incline and speed was adjusted until the person maintained a 60 to 70 per cent maximum heart rate which had previously been shown to stimulate cognitive abilities in other studies throughout the session.

But no significant improvements on working memory and inhibitory control scores were seen after the aerobic exercise session.
On the other hand, right after the yoga session people improved their reaction times and accuracy on the tests.

Gothe said that that following yoga practice, it appears that the participants were better able to focus their mental resources, process information quickly, more accurately and also learn, hold and update pieces of information more effectively than after performing an aerobic exercise bout.
The breathing and meditative exercises aim at calming the mind and body and keeping distracting thoughts away while you focus on your body, posture or breath, Gothe explained.

She thinks these processes translate beyond yoga practice when people try to perform mental tasks or day-to-day activities.
Gothe hypothesized that improving one's self-awareness through yoga's meditation exercise, as well as reducing anxiety and stress through the session may have boosted performance.

The study was published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health.

Re: [mukto-mona] AL lost all the 4 seats in city council election! We have to find our faults, weakness constructively & amicably! No blame game among us!



My dear friends,
Mistakes have been committed! This is a bad news for all progressives and I would double check with the voters and change the strategy that did not work. Awamis should come down from their high horses and do whatever they can to reverse the trend. There is no time to waste before Taliban takes over! Thank you.

Anu,
The last four election and out come is eye opening for Awami league and his followers. You can find the immediate solution from the propaganda (BNP, Jamat and Hefajot ) used during election. They mainly portrayed Awami league as "Nastik" and even they used foreign land also. And so they used all religious gathering as their easy target. The false portraying mainly devised by Jamat , heinous organization and their source of strength is money. Awami league started war against without stopping their source of resources ( mainly money). Even Awami league did understand economist Barakat's, research on the source of Jamata's finance.
Please go to mosque and use all religious gathering free from them then you will get immediate 90% the result back. I saw how they used foreign land, especially mosque for spreading vendetta against Awami league.
Brainstorming and immediate action can solve these problems. We can use the remaining time before election to minimise their false propaganda by our sincere effort. Time is now, please act.
 
Best wishes to you and all.

Just 20 minutes of yoga significantly improves brain function
Yoga Vs Aerobic [It took 5000 years for Modern world to rediscover importance of Yoga. This shows that our ancestors were more knowledgeable then us.]

WASHINGTON: A new study has suggested that doing yoga for as little as 20 minutes may be able to boost your brain power.

Researchers found that subjects who participated in a single yoga session had better speed and accuracy scores on working memory and inhibitory control tests than after they tried an aerobic exercise session of the same length.

These tests are indicative of a person's ability to maintain focus, as well as absorb and remember new information, and aerobic exercises had previously been shown to boost scores in those areas.

Thought the practice involves an active attentional or mindfulness component, she said, its potential benefits have not been thoroughly explored.
In the study, 30 female undergraduate students were instructed to do a 20-minute session of Hatha yoga, which involved seated, standing and supine positions. The exercises involved relaxing different muscle groups, regulated breathing and isometric contractions, meaning the joint angle or the muscle length does not change during the process. Meditation and deep breathing were also involved.

The subjects were also instructed to complete a 20-minute aerobic exercise where they walked or jogged on a treadmill. The incline and speed was adjusted until the person maintained a 60 to 70 per cent maximum heart rate which had previously been shown to stimulate cognitive abilities in other studies throughout the session.

But no significant improvements on working memory and inhibitory control scores were seen after the aerobic exercise session.
On the other hand, right after the yoga session people improved their reaction times and accuracy on the tests.

Gothe said that that following yoga practice, it appears that the participants were better able to focus their mental resources, process information quickly, more accurately and also learn, hold and update pieces of information more effectively than after performing an aerobic exercise bout.
The breathing and meditative exercises aim at calming the mind and body and keeping distracting thoughts away while you focus on your body, posture or breath, Gothe explained.

She thinks these processes translate beyond yoga practice when people try to perform mental tasks or day-to-day activities.
Gothe hypothesized that improving one's self-awareness through yoga's meditation exercise, as well as reducing anxiety and stress through the session may have boosted performance.

Re: [mukto-mona] Fwd: IOS Current Affairs: Moment of Truth



Pot calling kettle black? The more BS from from QR with no historical reference or logic. It is rather the Muslim conquest of Indian subcontinent that put a death nail to the existence of  indigenous Hindus and Budhists. The choice was either to convert or die from the dagger.  No wonder why Dalailama feels safer in India than in Mecca. No wonder why these indigenous Indian people people did not  migrate towards the Mecca.
The problem with these organized religions is that they would love to invade other countries, concur them and establish their religious hegemony with virtually no respect to  the culture and religions of indigenous people. Hindus and Budhists were lucky that English came at the right time and put a stop of that organized religious crime. With no English intervention, India would have become a totally different country.

Muslim majority countries and minorities living in them peacefully have become the butt of the jokes. Just ask any random person!  Even Muslims fleeing from those countries, let alone non-Muslim minorities

I bet this man lives in a hole without any light and air.

As I said, ancient India's hatred for non-Hindus is also goes back to ancient times. It has gotten a bit better from the time Buddhists were driven away from the very birthplace of Buddhism (India) but still anti-Muslim (Recently anti-Christian) feeling is pretty strong among middle and upper class Indians.

The Sangh has been steadily doing it since as far back as 1947, when the ICS officer Madhav Godbole seized a trunk full of RSS maps and plans for ethnic cleansing of Muslims.

>>>>>>>>>> because of that environment Bangabandhu chose to work for Muslim League and worked hard to create Pakistan. He was progressive and mostly took positions to reflect aspiration of people. Which lead him to take a different position during 71 and rightfully so.

We hope India will lead the region as a beacon of democracy and motivate other countries to empower democracy in their system and focus on protecting common people from religious Bigots.

Shalom!

News Analysis
Moment of Truth
Dr. Mohammad Manzoor Alam asks countrymen and women to give a moment's thought to where the country is headed for as corporate media tomtoms Modi as next Prime Minister.

Narendra Modi of Gujarat 2002 infamy is on a roll. India's corporate media is acting as if the silent majority spread over villages, talukas, mofassils, district towns, state capitals and NCR does not exist, as if it is not the "Little Citizen" who will decide the future of India with his precious vote, but the corporate boss sitting in his air-conditioned cabin and the moneybag manipulating things from behind the screen. People are still important, and urban middle class Modi fans are not the only people India has: Modiwadis are just a small fraction of the sea of humanity called Bharat.

What is bothersome is the inspiration behind Moditva, and the methodologies and modalities it employs. The inspiration, as the RSS stalwart Guru Golwalker clearly explained in his We, or Our Nationhood Defined decades back, is Hitler and his Nazi party. Golwalker approvingly talks about Hitler's genocide of Jews to be replicated in India by a similar mass murder of Muslims. Since then the Sangh and its fronts like BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal and others have been busy creating new opportunities for mass murder of Muslims through smaller "riots" (like 37 episodes under Akhilesh rule in UP) or bigger pogroms like Ayodhya 92 and Gujarat 2002.

The Sangh has been steadily doing it since as far back as 1947, when the ICS officer Madhav Godbole seized a trunk full of RSS maps and plans for ethnic cleansing of Muslims
. They have not always succeeded in polarising and dividing people because of the primarily secular and plural nature of India. For reaching 102 seats in Parliament from a mere two they staged the mass killing of Muslims in 1992-93. Mr Modi took up the Sangh torch of hatred from LK Advani, who had emerged as a "hero" in their voters' eyes just because of the anti-Muslim hysteria he had created.

Modi was protected from being sacked in 2002 by then Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Advani. His sacking would have been justified because of his dereliction of duty (to some, collusion with rioters) in the anti-Muslim pogrom. The Sangh has consistently been undermining the Constitution's secular values. During NDA rule it even tried to change it.

What is happening today is ominously similar to what happened in the Germany of 1933 and the rise of Hitler with the help of German industry. Today, some of India's major industrialists and their corporate media are openly backing Mr Modi as the future prime minster who will increase their profits by demolishing all the democratic and secular institutions of the state of India and by ensuring maximum profit on investments. What happens to people who are not industrialists, the preponderant majority of this country?

Mahabharata, the account of the greatest fratricidal war ever, fascinates both Mr Modi and Mr Advani. A Mahabharata against Muslims of India is the dream of the Sangh stalwarts. The choice between Mr Modi and Mr Advani is that between a rock and a hard place.

By and large, the choice today is between constitutional rule and fascist thuggery; between the common good of the masses, the farmers, the working classes in villages, towns and cities, the peace-loving people of goodwill everywhere on one side and corporate money and Hitler's chelas on the other.

The choice is very clear, very unambiguous. It is a choice between the idea of India and chaos.
