Nineteenth Death anniversary

Nineteen years since the day of his death. Will not say it is fresh in memory like yesterday. Wont say that not a day is gone when we did not remember him. Too hollow to say so. Time does heal to some extent but never to the full extent. The grief and loss will last as long as memory is living. He will die second death with death of our memory . What is next ? Will be consigned to the feeble memory who may keep us in their memory. The chain of living through memory is life after death. We want to live beyond death and create blue print for next birth. Know it too well philosophically.
The mind is different game.  We are often told how bravely we have accepted the situation.  We had no choice. Every one is not King Dashrath.
Today the purpose of writing this is not just to remember him but to make thankful mention of those who stood by us.

FATHER'S DAY : MANOHAR DAY

Father's day is new imported concept for out generation but like other imported gadgets like computer, cell phone etc. has become part of our present life. Neither can master fully not can live without.  I do get some wishes on this day. Some like Minister's smile not aimed at any body in particular and some oriented for me.

My own daughter thinks it is frivolous mechanical routine and redundant exercise. Never bothers to wish me nor her mother in such INTERNATIONAL dedicated days. It was at least not a custom when my own son was alive. Perhaps she is right. Our culture does not dedicate a day for father but for full life time. " मातृदेवो भव , पितृदेवो भव , आचार्यदेवो भव "  used to be convocation message for homeward students after graduation from गुरुकुल universities. Strikingly different than touching feet on a particular day. I know many people who seek blessing of father by touching his feet  before setting on the day's job. Never forgot to do that on all auspicious  religious occasions. Our generation did not neglect parents. Leaving them to old age home was never done and definitely not without a sense of guilt. But now so much used to it now that not getting father's day wishes feels like living in isolation .
Funny that I never looked upon this day as a son. Always thought of it as a father. Expected next generation to do all प्रणाम and so on.. May be as unwitting admission of getting old. Never thought of doing any thing myself as a Son. Intend to correct it by remembering my father today.

MANOHAR JAGANNATH KHARE was the name of my father. He was youngest of his siblings. ( those who lived long enough to be counted ! ) Unfortunate to be brought up by uncle due to untimely death of our grand father. Sufficiently brilliant in education to complete graduation. Bachelor of Agriculture from Nagpur university where my grand father was a professor in Study of insects . He had good physique , tall and an active sportsman. He was very popular among his brothers, sisters, cousins. My marriage picture shows a group of them in dozens.

He started as Government employee but soon quit and joined a private  company ICI overcoming comfort of  a safe Government job with assured pension for life time.   The word multinational was not coined then.but it was British Company  doing business in many countries including India. Got handsome salary compared to Government job. The job brought him to Mumbai. Got into rental  accommodation  first in Kalyan for a while before settling in Thane. Bought a piece of land and constructed the bungalow where we are residing.  I remember he was the  one of the few earning four figure salary in Thane. A job with British company accentuated his already good English into fine English.

He was a family man in larger sense. Not only he took care of his own children but supported many relatives more than just a financial help. Our home had provided for greater part some shelter to some one for educational or job purpose.

He had a personality well suited for stage and took active interest in the Theatre and had acted in some competative experimental stage plays. Some of his colleague  actors took it further and have become well known stage artists. He was socially responsive. Was a president of Lions club a legacy I have taken further.
Had mild interest in politics and I remember many of earlier generation politicians making visit to out Home.
He had a stint with spirituality too. We used to have a study group foe children and adults when Chinmaya Mission was just taking its first few steps.

Sad that he gradually withdrew into shell few years before his death. Wish we could have retained his social character till the end.

I wish to say here what I could not say in his life time. BABA YOU ARE THE ARCHITECT OF MY LIFE.

CHARAK SANHITA AND CHATURVARNYA

Charak Sanhita is included as reference book in the curriculum of Government recognized Medical Course which grants Ayurvedic BAMS degree.
A section of it deals with treatments to bear "Male" child. They differ for different VARNA of Brahmin ( The priest) , Kshatriya ( The  warrior ), Vaishya ( The trader / farmer ) and Shudra.( The manual abor ) This allegedly promotes dissemination based on caste and sex.
The " Sanhita" or the script written by the sage "Charak" is more than 3000 years old.  It as ancient and popular but not fully understood / interpreted. Some sections deals with surgery treatment too, which were not known or practiced by the " Vaidyas ". They were the main medical service available before the arrival of Allopathy in India by the British. Quite naturally it is ignorant of present provisions of the Indian Constitution. It upholds four layer system of the society as is upheld by Geeta. It proves that the Chatutvarnya existed and accepted at least 3000 years back. It originated as based on natural inborn attributes / tendencies of a person and was perhaps interchangeable. With the passage of time the four layer society started being by birth and was further divided in countless castes, sub castes,  tribes . The lists of SC, ST, OBC and so on has never seen the end of them. It goes on enlisting hitherto unknown names. Some times one wonders if the list itself promotes search for lesser known or unknown or even just invent ones.
Forget " Charak Sanhita" ,one can easily find quack practitioners from the square corner on road to self claimed professional consultants in AC Rooms. Countless sex determination test being conducted illegally. The ratio of Male to Female population is almost refusing to get better. All because of the senseless belief that only Male child can carry the family name and liberate parents. Some ladies have started to use both family names . A practise that deserves recognition and society support. More than constitutional changes, the social awareness for reformation is necessary.
Coming back to " Charak Sanhita " , recommendation is being made to drop those chapters from the script. A move thousand times better than burning of ' Manu Sanhita ".
