The Heal The World Team

Posted in Uncategorized  by Jason on April 1st, 2013

Hello, here at GoTejas, its our pleasure to introduce the “Heal the World” team. We call it “Nature Freaks”. And, at Nature Freaks, we’ve gone a whole new level. In an archaeological survey conducted by an author in this website, we have found more than usual. Go to the GoTejas site’s Archaeological page to unveil the secret Egyptian scroll found.

Varuna, Poseidon and Sobek

Posted in Uncategorized  by Tejas on February 24th, 2013

Varuna, the Vedic god, Sobek, of Egyptian mythology and Poseidon, of Greek mythology are closely interrelated. All of them are shown carrying a noose and/or a trident, are the lieutenant of the ruling god and show respect to the Sun God.

‘Abracadabra’!

Posted in Uncategorized  by Tejas on January 15th, 2013

Children and trick-magicians happily chant ‘abracadabra’ for fun, thinking it is a funny word. Have you ever wondered where its origins are? Various scholars have different views. For those Harry Potter fans, the famous killing curse is Avada Kedavra. That curse comes from Avrahadavra, a Sumerian mystic chant saying – I destroy that demon in you, essentially used in the curing of diseases. And, as scholars suggest, Avrahadavra comes from Avrah KaDabra or Avra KaDavrai meaning ‘I create as I speak’, an Aramaic chant. (???? ?????)

Pashupatinath’s Legacy

Posted in Uncategorized  by Tejas on November 24th, 2012

In the archaeological site of Mohenjo Daro (‘city of the dead’), archaeologists found a seal with a carved image of a 3 or possibly 4-headed figure sitting in what was probably a yogic pose. He is among many animals, including a tiger, a bull and an elephant. This very seal is probably rooted in a Vedic legend that teaches a moral lesson. Before that, an introduction to Vedic mythology. Over 6000 years Before Christ, the first linguistic and cultural civilization ever, even before the start of the Egyptian civilization, had begun. Known today as the Indus Valley Civilization, it was located on the banks of two major rivers: the Indus, known to them as Sindu and the Gaggar-Hakkra River, known to them as the Saraswati. They started a civilization that was archaic yet possibly technologically advanced, thought as that due to the so-called Nectar of Immortality, Soma. Botanists, physicists and chemical-scientist teams are helping archaeologists to find the true Soma. It was about 1900 years Before Christ that another unknown civilization from Persia or Egypt, codenamed as the Aryans by some people, invaded the Indus Valley Civilization. With a more advanced weaponry, they won many battles and wars, including possibly the mythical Kurukshetra war that took place in a battle field known to the people of the ancient civilizations as Kurukshetra. The seal is thought to be that of some sort of deity, and, from the Vedic language of Sanskrit created by the Aryans, was named Pashupati or the Lord of the Beasts. His posture shows that in meditation, he is ignorant to the world and has renounced all worldly worries, desires and properties. He does not have anything to lose and thus; is never worried and doesn’t have battles to fight. He, being surrounded by wild beasts, is in a union with Prakriti or nature and has renounced the evil part of the soul, the human part of Purusha. He does not intend to tame the wild, the wild has untamed him, allowed him free of all worries. In his union with nature, his only weapon is the most powerful in the world, compassion. This makes him full of empathy and care; he does not simple feel sympathetic, he takes action and thus, is empathetic. He shows empathy, and still apathy to the material world of arrogance over material objects that aren’t eternal. I’m not saying we should renounce material things; I’m saying we shouldn’t indulge ourselves too much and control our emotions. This control of emotions will lead to patience and empathy, the desire to help others, not just selfish and self-centered. This will give us true happiness for this emotion will last forever in people; unlike money, which we can indulge ourselves in as long as we have control over it and save it, rather than unleashing it at once.

Respect for Life

Posted in Uncategorized  by Tejas on August 24th, 2012

In recent posts, I’ve told you why to respect animals. Now, let us go to easier parts of lives. How many times have you plucked a leaf for play or a flower for sacrifice without realizing their importance to the environment? Each flower has nectar for starving butterflies and other insects, each leaf is a living thing, each blade of grass, you should respect them all. Avoid stomping on grass, it kills the plant. And with animals, be alert to avoid accidental stamping of ants, don’t experiment on a butterfly’s wing, for each of us, in all our ways, can make this world a much better place to live in.

They Share Their World With Us

How many times have you killed a mosquito just because it flew past you? Why? If you think it’d bite you, then drop your fear, that cruel demon. Only females bite, and that’s only for their young. How would you feel if you were killed when getting food for your child, and then he/she would die of starvation? [Vegetarians, please ignore the sentence coming up] And for those who eat meat, if they drink your blood, don’t you drink that of an animal? And for vegetarians, don’t you eat plants? As I have told you before, go veg. Stop eating meat. Stop killing cockroaches and mosquitoes.

Remember, this is not our world. This is the world ruled by non – humans. And yet we kill them. People hunt for sport and for fur. Don’t wear leather, leather is dead skin. Don’t wear silk either. Wear cotton instead of silk, pleather (plastic fake leather), or canvas and cotton instead of leather.

 

HEAL THE WORLD

The Sacred Sound

Posted in Uncategorized  by Tejas on August 13th, 2012

Most religions today have what is called a sacred sound: a word that created the universe. Hindus refer to this as Aum, and say it was a sound that echoed at the start of the universe. Christians call it Amen, which they use to personify glory in one word, and so on with many religions.

All of them share a similarity: the letters A and M are always present. By researching myths, the first proper religion in the world was the Ancient Egyptian Classical religion. And the most powerful god in the myths, was Amun.

Amun acts as the origin of all our most powerful gods (almost all). Take the Hindu Krishna. Dark skinned, but the skin was/is often represented as blue, check. Had three feathers on crown, check. Second major cult based on, check. (Vaishnavas were the second major cult in Hinduism, first being Shaivas, similar to Amun, with the Atum cult similar to Shiva) Amun also had a similar festival to the Jaganattha festival, with large chariots being drawn. In Puri, the idols are of Krishna, Balarama and Subadra, while in Egypt it was Amun, Mut and Khonsu. Amon was also similar to Zeus and the Judo – Christian God.

The Mango Tree

I’m here to revise you with the most important lesson in life: a lesson that you learnt while a toddler. Be kind always. A simple lesson, pushing through its way in our unorganized and bitter lives.

When you give something, expect nothing. When someone does you bad, do him good for that will stop any fight. Do not seek for vengeance: revenge is never sweet. If someone has wrong ways, gently correct him and tell him why it will affect the world politely. Help living beings in need, and be compassionate.

Take the example of the mango tree. Children pelt stones at it just to get the fruit. They harm its offspring, but in return, it gives juicy fruit. Indians refer to this as ‘Gandhi – Giri’ or the way of Gandhi.

A thing each one of us want is to be a leader. As a leader, you need these qualities:

Empathy – You should empathize with your teammates. You are not their boss. Allow their opinions, do not discourage them. If they are wrong, inform them gently. If they are sad, or angry, look from their point of view. Become good friends with them, share your life with them and they will share their sadness and joy.

Friendship – Have a strong bond of friendship with your teammates; teach them and learn from them. Crack jokes and make meetings enjoyable. Make sure they trust you, but you be wary.

 

All this is the path of a mango tree.

Vegetarianism

Posted in Uncategorized  by Tejas on August 9th, 2012

This is the first or second time I’m writing about this.

We all feel empathy to animals, for we empathize with them or judge from their point of view. Their fear, all their emotions running through are mind, we feel compassionate. I wanted to write this but I was very young then and didn’t know how to put it in words; but it all comes to this. I’m 10 and a half now, and I can spread a message I’ve been wanting to spread. This website was all about that.

Now, imagine you saw someone kicking a sweet little puppy on the street. Wouldn’t you intervene? Something much more atrocious happens with the meat in our plates. I’ve been vegetarian all my life, so I might not get this right. But my love for animals drives me to this.

I’ll tell you about some of the atrocities that goes into eating chickens.

  • Young chicks are taken away from their parents the moment they’re born
  • Their sensitive beaks are sawed off
  • They are crammed into cages
  • They are abused to lay eggs
  • They get sores
  • Their wings are cut off
  • They are then hung on a rope
  • They are gutted alive

They are beheaded

Think of this cruelty. Trust me.

For grounds for a slaughterhouse millions of trees are cut.

This causes global warming. Carbon is sent 100 times like oil spills and trucks.

 

So trust me. GO VEG.
