We failed our self in passed years:
We all had a glowing wish for the year 2013 (1)* and for enlightened days ahead in 2014.
But in all those numerous days passed, we failed our self badly.
Some Anja (2)*, Jason (3)*, Luke (4)* tried to show us pictures of our bloody nature.
In these passed months and days we have killed our own kind with ruthless parallel no where, massacred children, burned books and teachers alive.
Sometimes it indicates of a plausible clue for the failure of our own civilizations in the past !!
We humans might have been the cause behind extinction of our past glorious civilizations, while we search factors outside with nature (Mayan (5)*, Andean (6)*, Nazca (7)* Indus valley (8)*.
Are we humans are a killer and devastator species or else?So far, 66 journalists were killed, 119 journalists were kidnapped and 178 journalists were imprisoned worldwide because of their line of work, and the year has not ended yet (as of 22nd December 2014). According to the report, almost half of those killed died in Syria (15), Palestine (7), Iraq (4), and Libya (4) – making the top deadliest five countries for journalists this year in addition to Ukraine (6).
In our all 200,000 years of earthly existence, about 77,000 years ago we traveled out of the Africa continent on our global journey (9)* to settle in other parts of the earth.
But proven for sure that we are failed global citizens.(graphic courtesy:http://www.politicalforum.com/current-events/206817-hints-earlier-human-exit-africa.html)
Lead me from darkness to light (तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय):
We all need that light which shall lead us in all our darkness.
That light is a universal unbiased education for all, irrespective to the caste, color, creed, race, religion, sex, socio-economic levels and all that kind of every prejudices we humans have created.
Let there be light: The UN’s 68th general assembly proclaimed 2015 an official “International Year of Light” (10)* that will focus on the science and applications of light, and seek
to raise global awareness of how optics and photonics can have a
positive impact in fields as diverse as energy, education, agriculture
and health.
New light to illuminate the world: The Royal Swdish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2014 (11)* “for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources”
Scientist have tried quantum teleportation (12)*, converting light into matter (13)* reading and writing brain with light (14)* successfully so recently.
Fireflies (15)* used rapid light flashes to communicate. Scientist have planned to take this "bioluminescence", an intriguing phenomenon, for many potential applications, from drug testing and monitoring water contamination, and even lighting up streets using glow-in-dark trees and plants.
A prayer for all: As our old seers have sought the well being of all, that is the call of the day, with a prayer to move from darkness into light.
Universality in our approach, that is the Mantra of the day, to survive and grow together with all our beauty to which we ignorantly call our differences.
असतो मा सद्गमय |
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ||
मृत्योर् मा अमृतं गमय |
ॐ शांति शांति शांति ||
Asato maa Sat gamaya
Tamaso maa Jyotir gamaya
Mrityor maa Amritam gamaya
Om Shaanti Shaanti Shaanti
Lead me from the Unreal to Real,
Lead me from Darkness to Light,
Lead me from Death to Immortality,
OM Peace, Peace, Peace.

A verse from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad,
which beautifully captures the goal of both
science and spirituality.
