Intangible heritage

 Intangible heritage 

I felt ‘bemused’ reading this news 🙏

News that

Atleast...... Hindus should not miss 😥🙏

Quote:

Diwali gets global honour: UNESCO adds Deepavali to Intangible Heritage list

UNESCO has officially inscribed Deepavali on its Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Prime Minister Narendra Modi says the honour celebrates India's cultural soul and timeless traditions

Deepavali, one of India’s most celebrated festivals, has received a major global honour. UNESCO has added Deepavali to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List, recognising it as a cultural treasure that must be preserved and celebrated worldwide.

The announcement was made by UNESCO on social media, calling it a new addition to the list of ‘Living Heritage’.

Soon after, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reacted with joy, saying people in India and around the world are “thrilled” by the decision. In his tweet, he described Deepavali as a festival deeply connected to India’s culture, values and civilisation.

Diwali has it's own value 🙏

Today's Hindus lack the perception to delve into "that original value"..

Till then, use a duplicate ( like 'china make' 😜), to Somehow appreciate a heritage of great worth. UNESCO is such Yardstick.

And I added this, to my private recipients on social media ( whatsApp)

Quote 

Exampull of such

Intangible heritage is

A mahaMantra

A mom_of_Chandass( chandas itself is greater than a mantra😜... Then, a mom_of_chandass¿?¿? 😜...    Like "mother_of_battles" phrase by Saddam Hussein?)

Then,

I tried to “guess”..... What OUGHT to top the list of “intangible heritage”?

I didn't have to wonder/ponder too long 😂

Right or wrong…. My guess is = “Om( a_u_m) “ ought to top🙏👍

Be_cause , this word belongs to The Only Discovered Language of this warald/world…. Sanskrit 😜, Logic? It is the only language compatible with Quantum laws! And, quantum physics applies to entire universe, not just earth! Om( or A_U_M) is the base of universe, and the only source code, to access our own SOURCE😜🙏

resourcefully yours,

Tertiary sector

 Tertiary sector 

We have really very good experts to talk about “economics”

I am sure about myself that I ain't one of them.

But then, great economists miss the emotional aspects often, unless they are better in spirituality than their supremacy in economics 🙏.

The 3 basic sectors, we know, ( since it is we–human minds–who defined them, not nature, not the cosmos, or what we call as divinity ), are primary, secondary and tertiary.  Logic and reasoning are applicable in dealing with these 3.

Primary is almost governed by nature. Secondary is driven by necessity, whereas the tertiary is flexible enough to promote evolvement of human beings basically, and for which, we also look at the betterment of the first two. 

Spirituality enhances the emotions of inclusiveness in us and therefore, it can help the ‘health’ of tertiary sector better.  ( Historical evidence can convince us, that tertiary sector developed the least, wherever the inclusiveness could_not_thrive on its own, in human beings 🙏. Desert culture couldn't afford the growth of tertiary, for obvious reasons of survival priorities owing to lack of support from primary sector. The converse is not true. Abundance in the potential for the primary sector to grow, did not guarantee the proportionate growth of the secondary and tertiary, as we can see in the primitive humans cultures where the nature is bountiful in African wilderness). 

Bharat, as a culture has set a very high benchmark of something like 42% GDP a few centuries ago, and thus providing us an opportunity to understand the importance of functional aspects of these 3 sectors, with a decisive role of tertiary sector, though the desert proves logically that primary sector decides the growth of other two😜(Chanakya, was the economist, during this brief phase).  

Certain ‘values’ held in Bharat, is still a distant dream for other cultures 🙏. An example is, we define economic growth with a term “samruddhi” ( the phrase “all round prosperity“ comes closest to translate “samruddhi” in English 🙏). Economic prosperity has milder terms in desi lingua 😜( like sampann… “wealth & prosperity”, a little less than “all round”).  

It took me a long time to grasp the “subtle” correlation between two dissimilar fields of human activities, to understand the secret of using the Yardstick of “fine arts” for measuring the level of economic prosperity of a culture 😳😳….,😥😥😥…and then “🤔🤔” wondering about it.

The Yardstick is “wherever the 64 fine_arts thrive, we can call it a culture of Samruddhi” 🙏.  ( The explanation part, is too vast to contain into the confines of a blog like this🤣🙏)

Spiritual growth holds a magical wand. It can afford a samruddhi in exclusivity of the ‘number’ game of a populace, where even the ‘bulk’ of the society is trapped heavily in the vice_grip of materialistic temptations of a mind 🙏. Bharat is a land of spiritual destination. Obviously, this ‘miracle’ of exclusivity of samriddhi can happen only here. ( My question on a form “Yahoo answers” was based on this subtle concept. The brief part of the question ran like this: “What makes Indians flourish despite obstacles like corruption, brain drain, poverty and population crisis?”

A question seeking a spiritual sense in an answer addressing the lack of economic infrastructure needed for economic prosperity 🙏. ( Secret of exclusivity for inclusiveness 🙏)

Prosperously yours,

psn(6th Dec., 2025)

Post script : Bharat is undergoing a ‘phenomenon’ presently, defying logic, when a spiritual person like Shri N.D.Modi, is spearheading as a PM, the task of Re-defining the tertiary sector of Bharat, using the ancient tools of spiritual Bharat 🙏 😜. He knows, spiritual growth is an integral part of tertiary sector, when Samruddhi is the goal, not merely economic-wealth.  ( Of course, I am entirely responsible for this statement, of mine)

Teaching skills

 Teaching skills 

I am not interested in talking about the skills.

Instead,

I wish to remind ourselves about a fact, a ground reality, needing zero efforts to get convinced. 🙏

Fact: There are people who are EXCELLENT in  their teaching skills🙏

The institutions meant to produce excellent teachers for schools , ( awarding the coveted degree certificates like B.Ed, M.Ed etc) can…..if gracious enough, draw inspiration from this real_life example 🙏)

We see young and illiterate youth willingly blowing up themselves, in a crowd of innocent common civilians. 

Intense investigation over decades have CONFIRMED that these youth who become a suicide_volunteers are…..RADICALISED by experts 🙏.   Are these experts not excellent teachers, who prepare a “mind” for a supreme sacrifice?( Look at the skill, for a moment, keeping aside for a while ,the anti_human intent, purpose, goal, aim etc of these experts…🙏)

Can we produce such excellent teachers who can shape students in a school into “beautiful minds” ??? A tiny but a mighty_significant distinction can happen. Instead of sacrificing their life for a inhuman cause, the youth will DEDICATE the same life for a noble+everlasting, ever_evolving Human cause🙏

skillfully yours,

psn(1st Dec, 2025)

My sincere apologies to the experts in radicalisation 🙏.  Please try to find a way, to forgive me for doing something unpardonable, in quoting your skills as an. Example for a diagonally opposite purpose 😭🙏🙏🙏

Co-experience

 Co-experience 

It is vital & crucial in communicating a spiritual experience 🙏

Saha-anubhooti

सहानुभूति ( sympathy, बन गया)

Where as it was "co-experience"(empathy)

A fellow is lecturing "sita got abducted by Ravana"( interesting story 🙏)

Same narrator, gets an urgent phone call... He now looks *_tensed_* ( audience,.... already anxious बेचारा, कुछ गड़बड़ हो गया होगा, he is tensed up!)

Fellow says on microphone " माफ करना 🙏, जाना पड़ेगा, मेरी पत्नी का अगवा हुआ, कोई जिहादी का काम है, गर से फोन आया"( he aborts the lecture in Ramayana.   Sita apaharan can wait 🤣)

Co-experience is enriched in the Jihadi_apaharan. Whereas, no sympathy or empathy 'generated' during mention of story🙏( I am not 'picking/pointing ' a fault. Not criticising 🙏...   Just, an imaginary example to substantiate the distinction between"emotions " in two similar narrative!).

Dilip Kumar & dev Anand..... expression is very different/ distinct 🙏.

A physics chapter by a teacher ..... can permeate/percolate, only if the teacher associates with the concept afresh, each time she teaches🙏

Empathetic_ally yours,

Who is observing the practices we do?

 Who is observing the practices we do?

( 😂 What kind of question is this? 😡)

See, "eventually, it is the mind"  says our mind. 

Input devices "look" on the "outside of us". That's a sensible thing too . We interact with out-outside all the time. 

Input devices convey the data to the brain. Brain does the 'processing' and uses the memory stored to correlate the data.  If a numeral is 1, but scribbled shabbily the brain mismatches it with 7 ( nearest match, fuzzy_logic, etc) .  An alein popping up behind a sofa, brain fires "alarm" signal after a "return_value" called "no matches found".

Mind? 😂

It has two broad functions. Memory analytics and imagination analysis, using both, logic and emotions,  .....but .....but..... location is from a right centre and a wrong centre ( the_why, the_how etc is an elaborate topic....   A drunkard stubbornly argues looking at a moon, "this is-a-son, not moon" .... A saint, from a right centre of mind says "this death of my very dear person had to take place, at the appropriate time and therefore, I need not let my sad_emotion overpower me beyond a certain level 🙏")

Sleep is 5th aspect of our mind, which regulates the brain to invoke, postpone, etc the sleep related neurotic signals. Most kids 'learn' how to invoke sleep. A rare few struggle during adulthood, since the learning curve got flattened by then😂.

Intellect? 😥😥😥😳😳😳 ( My "silly" koschan was to tickle the intellect to find out, "when does the_intellect FUNCTION?".... every one has the intellect , and it does_function 🙏. Problem is, it works like a rudderless boat😜, or a vehicle moving with a wobbling/loose steering wheel. Uncertain functioning 🙏😓

A practice like 'breath awareness' goes through all the above processes😌

Who is the observer inside us? ( Who ought be the ideal observer?... The "quality" of watching decides the rate of evolvement 🙏)

Let us see if the foregoing makes any 'sense' thus far? 😌🙏

Very observantly yours,

psn

A joke:

I came across a saying in a South Indian language:  When I sight the dog, I don't see the stone. When I sight the stone, I don't see the dog.

The joke part is in 2 diverse interpretations…

1). Well, I see a dog, I want to drive it away, throwing a stone at it, but alas! No stone is visible nearby me. 😭…. I somehow escape the dog, and now suddenly I can sight a stone, which could have been used to drive away that dog😡😡😡

2). A child, of just 2 is looking at the rear side, riding on his dad's shoulders. Dad stops a couple of feet away from a huge statue/carving, and tells his kid :”dear look here….see how beautiful this is!!!”

The kid turns to look. Suddenly it faces a ‘dog’ figure, it's open mouth with shearing teeth, and a menacing eyes staring right into that child, 2 feet away. A life_size statue of a large dog! The kid, gripped by fear Shrieks aloud, and starts crying intensely. Dad realises the ‘fear’ caused by the excellent skill of the sculptor, takes a few steps back, consoles the kid “dear…dear…. It's just a stone! Not a real dog😜😂😂… don't be afraid, it CANNOT harm me or us!”. Hesitantly, the kid calms down a ‘bit’. The dad deposits that kid into his mother's arm, approaches the stone_dog, and placing his palm into its mouth says to the kid “see….it can't bite! Just a stone!” Now, the emboldened kid too “wants” to touch it, but with his dad as security 🤣.

The kid is now MISSING the dog! He sights only a ‘stone’!😓.  A kid, yet to ‘develop’ a ‘sight’/insight for the skill called Sculpture 🙏

Rare Yardsticks

 Rare Yardsticks 

Yardsticks needed for measuring mental health 

https://www.uclahealth.org/news/release/physical-health-has-its-yardsticks-mental-health-still 

Well,

I consider myself extremely fortunate, when I know for sure, who managed to possess this Yardsticks 🙏

How do SPIRITUAL Giants of Bharat ( especially ancient times) decide upon their students?

Ofcourse they do use Yardsticks 🙏 

I didn't get_to_see those Yardsticks they ‘held’. But even to know ( for sure) who has them? 😜

( Now I know where to learn from, CopyPaste or steal….😜)

I don't know why I am tempted to mention this here and now 😥 . No logical relevance. But, I have an experience of a Failure Rate of 99.94 % among some 5000 freshers I tried to volunteer during 5 to 7 years!  The point-zero-six of success is considered stupendous in the world of spirits 😓. I used the failures to learn from to devise my own crude Yardsticks 🙏. Gurus don't give up certain secrets 😭

Men-tally yours,

ReAssurance

 Reassurance 

I would never have dreamt of sharing this personal experience of mine.

Even now, I am almost sure, that this piece is not going to be of any ‘value addition’ to a reader🙏

But, we all seek some kind of re-assurance, sometime or other, not even knowing wherefrom, how or when it is going to come?

I discovered even when I was just a kid, that I am a very odd type, when too many people around concurred about the oddities in me. The tone and presentation assumed a shape, to make it seem like an abnormality ( instead of ‘oddity’). This, added to the uncertainty about my finding any kind of ‘reassurance’ about my oddities.

I was asked to ‘pray’ at a temple. I could not. ( An odd argument stood in my way🙏. I could neither compromise with my_argument, nor could I think of ‘articulating’ it to those who asked me to pray 🙏.   Everyone prayed, so no scope to question them. But no answer either, to my silly koschans to myself, like “if….God has the 3 C’s as they say/glorify about God, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, why should He wait for me to pray for granting me his charity?”)

I didn't get angry at someone doing something ‘wrong’ unto me. This was a very serious abnormality 🙏. A psychiatric disorder. Often, I get beaten up for a mischief I never did😜🤣… ( reason is, an unskilled thief, criminal gets huge popularity than a perfect one. Obviously, most crimes get attributed to the imperfect fool who gets caught too often.).  I was harmless in my mischiefs. So, I didn't try to ‘hide’ it. The ‘label’ became like an engraved title. My defect was, I used to ‘attribute’ the nature of inflicting a punishment on me, as something like ‘that is how they are!”. An ant bites, mosquito bites, scorpion stings. This elder too is of this_nature🙏…  The off-shoot of this defective way was, I don't wail, complain, protest, etc when a punishment causes injury. I don't feel ‘hurt’. Pain is very much there🙏

Perspectives differed with each individual. I was bogged by the element of “Vismay” ( wonderment, in English) at this difference in perspective 😥. Can't ask anyone about it. No idea, how to coin/frame the words, to articulate or convey my query, “why do perspectives differ with each Elder??”

1992 . I attended a spiritual program . “An Art of EFFORTLESS Living”.  The teacher suggested a list of how to deal with situations ( the mind_related aspect of it.). Once the way we ‘perceive’ a situation gets fixed in a way compatible with cosmic laws, everything else about ‘how to Live’ falls in place 😜.  Almost like some miracle! One piece of a jigsaw puzzles placed correctly and 99 other pieces just fall into its right place by itself!😳😳… 

My experience of this program was : “Hey! I had been all_along, only_this_way…!!! . The joke is, everyone around looked at me, as if I am a bit abnormal!. And now, here is somebody ‘enlightened’, who is “re-assuring” me, that I am abnormally-NORMAL!!!”

The tools and techniques attached to this program, felt like a ‘natural' thing to do as a routine! Like, we breathe naturally, isn't it? No conscious effort needed🙏😥

The best part of this program ( my oddity again, of course), was…. the ‘seeking’ on the outside receded. It grew inwards.  The money I used to spend on travel, as a part of this ‘seeking', started to get accumulated. 😜.  I didn't have to ‘save’ for the rainy day, CONSCIOUSLY 🙏. My old age is reassured financially, since I live quite ‘normally’ like other life-forms—- a need_based spending, not a wants/desire based squandering 😜.  If someone criticises me, either I will have to rectify a wrong in me with gratitude or…. it's the ‘nature' of the other to criticize me without any reason 😜🙏

See, I had already mentioned a disclaimer “no value addition” for a reader. Just a write up, about an odd, freak co_human 😜🙏

Oddly yours,

psn(28 Nov 2025)

A joke:  there was an odd colleague who ‘loved’ to sit next to me for 6½ hours daily. His request “give me any seat next to PSN, wherever he is seated, (as a part of rotation of duties excercise every 6 months ), or ….give me any seat, and allocate the next seat beside to PSN, which he too won't mind”

He used to steal my work ( vouchers I post in ledgers).  I too started stealing his work. Then he used to lock his table-drawer, while going for lunch/restRoom. The boss mocked:”locking your purse?”. And he took out his wallet, placing it on the table, said “not worried about my money. I can leave it here in the open. I lock my vouchers🙏. PSN steals it😭”. Boss stared at me😳. I shot back:”Sir, he started this stealing bijness. He steals. I merely responded. He locks. But I don't 🙏”

This colleague proved to be an oddity🙏. Like this proverb “fools rush in where the angels fear to tread!” Angels around avoid me, a freak. This dear_fool of mine, hovered around me, very Foolishly 🙏🙏🙏

My priorities

 My priorities 

🤣

Like almost anybody else, I too struggled to “get my priorities Right”, for decades 😭🙏

Then it dawned on me!  There can_be one item, in a list of priorities ( relevant to a human being), which is exclusive of all other priorities 🙏 ( meaning, this solitary priority doesn't ever conflict with any other priorities 😜.).  Damn good 👍, I told myself. 

Now, I am able to think about shifting the very foundation of my other_priorities. 

“Let the situation decide my priorities 👍🙏. I am bloody well a part of that situation 😜. That's all & that's it “.    Not that, I have accomplished this positioning of myself 😥, but, for sure, I am at_it most of the time! ( It took me decades to design and structure this software about my_priorities. It has been working well to the extent I am able to be aware of it 🙏 

What to make of it ( my experience) is entirely a subjective matter of each individual reader 🙏. Obviously, I can be of any practical help, only when there is a genuine SOLICITATION from others🙏.  Otherwise, may this blog convince a reader, to refrain from wasting their time on any of my blogs in future. I owe this freedom to my innocent readers🙏

Innocently yours,

Age 100

 Age 100

(24 nov 2025)

I received a forward today:

[24/11, 9:51 am] FORWARD: 

At 100 -Shatamanam; Life Feels Larger Than Personal Stories. Reaching 100 is not about the number of years. It is about reaching a state where you see the bigger picture. You realise that most things you worried about were not worth worrying about. People you loved mattered more than anything else. And life was always held together by something mysterious and kind. At 100, one becomes less of a “person” and more of a presence.

Essence

Our rishis did not celebrate age. They celebrated the inner shifts that age brings.

* 60, Priorities change

* 70, Peace becomes strength

* 80, Presence becomes healing

* 90, Ego becomes quiet

* 100,  Life becomes complete

Age is not declining. Age is distillation.

Thought for the Day

Growing older doesn’t reduce life. It refines it into wisdom, softness and grace.

🙏🙏

MY Response 🙏

[24/11, 10:10 am] PSN: 100 of a person has relevance to others around, not self ( due to the impact of ' Reverence ' culture/ shraddha)

For myself the ideal life span is 120( 2 cycles of the years of 60 each. )

60 is middle age( of 120). Now I ought to be compatible with nature, like the rest of all the creatures who are compatible at birth, not seeking a "protected environment called Society") and hence vaanaprastha 🙏. If, juniors around 'feel' that I can communicate my experience to them, they "choose" to honour me with a ritual Shashtipoorti, and plead "please stay back to guide us" . If that guy was found useful, the juniors honour him at the next few levels that he has_to_DESERVE, viz/namely, 70,84 and 100 .  84 looks odd, because it symbolises 1008 phases of moon by that age, where this guy is a super_specialist in imparting TECHNIQUES of handling all the phases of moon( waning/waxing) in such_a_way, that....the mind is capable of wading through the storm, navigating the_way the atman wants, not like water bodies/mental patients 🙏😥. ( Example: MULTI_sail ships sail the way that captain wants, no matter which way the wind is blowing)

Evidence: gruhatas, use "tri_Sandhya" where as the 4th saandhyaKaal/12 am, is used by ONLY a rogi/bhogi and Yogi, for different reasons/purposes, of their own needs😜

psn
