Capitalism threat

While capitalism brings lot of positives like improving overall life style, innovation etc. It puts people in a rat race and hugely favors winners. Most of the time, people who stay behind end up surrendering to the winners. This creates a big gap between rich and the poor. When socialist counties move toward capitalism, will they learn from developed countries and avoid the mistakes like major corporations lobbying government?

On a lighter note..2

I heard someone saying in an interview that

"Behind every successful man there is a surprised woman".

Its kinda funny but he said it in a serious tone. If that is even remotely true, wouldn't it be true the other way as well? Do we generally ignore to notice people who are really close to us?

Do we see our Dad as Dad and not what he does? How often do we see our spouse as someone who is good in what they do.

On a lighter note..

guy1: Look at the moon, its beautiful.

guy2: Wonder why people compare moon with women. Is it because the moon looks beautiful only from distance?

guy3: and it looses its shape every 15 days, that may be another reason!

Nithyanandha act and aftermath.

Many people reacted differently on this issue. Leave those non believers who laughed at the issue and said "I knew it". Hardcore followers were shocked. First of all they went to him for his preachings and learning yoga, nothing changed now. It is surprising to see they didn't expect their godman doing earthly acts eventhough he has been showing other signs all along. He was visibly getting richer everyday, letting people treat him like king, setting up ashram forts and makingup rules.

Next the press, SunTV which "uncovered" the story. It is one thing to show sex in tv and it is something to show real sex acts - yikes. Why don't we have censorship for TV again? Others like Nakeeran went overboard showing unconventional stuff. Why didn't they go to police first with the video before telecasting it?

Next the government, aren't they responsible for the safety of their people? To what extent are they controlling the ashrams? Even temples come under 'Hindu Aranilai thurai' but not ashrams, so whatever happens within ashrams is beyond government authority? - rubbish.

Then came officials, now all those officials investigating ashram's involvement in crime, tax fraud(?), sandalwood, tiger skin acquisition and land encroachments. They didn't even think of those possibilities before?

Bhagavad Gita and war

Why would a religion preaching based on war?

Vyasa wanted to pass the wisdom in form of a story, what best backdrop than a battlefield to depict the complexities of life. On another level, it is arjuna's war within.
