Use Swachhata App to make Imphal No 1 for Swachh Survekshan 2018

Mahatma Gandhi said, “ The lethargy of government has for too long allowed us to be inured to unhygienic spaces outside our immediate homes, although every Indian must accept the blame for his own slovenliness in public spaces. The garbage bag, the dumpster trucks and landfills can be better monitored to ensure better results. To give the next generation a cleaner India is a task we cannot duck anymore. The time for action began the minute the photo opportunities with politicians and bureaucrats got over.

Suspense in Manipur

Manipur has been under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act since the end of 1979. Irom Sharmila Chanu’s 16-year-old fast for its repeal failed to impress the powers that be. After giving up her lone crusade in August this year, on 18 October she formed a political party and is determined to replace three-time chief minister Ibobi Singh so as to be able to recommend that the Centre withdraw it.

The Buddha said, ‘War cannot bring peace’ (Part-I)

War is a violent conflict between states. Though the word is used to describe other types of conflict – civil war, class war, etc. – war is an aspect of politics. Much of man’s oral and written records, perhaps as much as of it as it devoted to any other human beings, deal with war. Groups of men used their hunting weapons against other men long before the dawn of history. For centuries man regarded war as an inevitable part of his fate, like his struggles with the weather, disease or the mysterious ocean.

How Buddhism differs from other religions Duty of a religion – Part 3

(contd from previous issue)
The things that science cannot do
Today, so many people are plagued with fear, restlessness, and insecurity. Yet, Science fails to rescue them. Science is unable to teach the common man to control is mind when he is driven by the animal nature that burns within him.
Science is unable to provide a meaningful life and purpose for life. It cannot provide man a clear reason for his living. In fact, science is thoroughly secularin nature and unconcerned with man.

How Buddhism differs from other religions – I

(A) What is a Religion?
The underlying principle of a religion is to regard Nature’s mysterious power and phenomena as the absolute Master. As a result, fear, holiness, reliance, attachment and respect arise. Then come worship, praying, sermons and other rites. People establish precepts and commandments as the standard of their daily lives, in order to live at ease and to perfect personalities. Thus a variety of religions are created.
