Myth: Sex of the baby is chosen by the male.

Reality: Sex of the baby is chosen by the female.

Discussion: For centuries before the advent of modern medical science, it was believed that the woman was responsible for the birth of a male or a female child and that the male had no say in choosing the sex of the unborn baby. Even today in many indian villages and other rural areas around the world(where ignorance of medical knowledge still prevails)--it is the woman who is still incriminated and blamed for repeatedly giving birth to a female child. But now with the discovery of the x-chromosomes sperms and y-chromosomes sperms in the semen, the medical scientists proclaimed that it is the male who is responsible for choosing or selecting the sex of the baby. But the medical scientists have overlooked one very important factor : namely the patho-physiological conditions, status (of the sperms and the ovum) and other unseen factors leading to chemotaxis (attraction of the sperms towards the ovum)---which finally leads to conception and eventually decides the sex of the baby.

Now let us examine the patho-physiology and the ionic status of the 'x' and 'y' sperms, and the variable charge of the ovum which ultimately decides which sperm (x or y) will fertilize the ovum.
By prior knowledge we now know that sperms containing the X chromosome are negatively charged while sperms containing the Y chromosome are positively charged. This fact was observed when the sperms were separated by electrophoresis. Numerous studies have revealed that when a weak electrical current was passed through a solution containing spermatozoa, those with the X chromosome were attracted by the anode (+) and those with the Y chromosome by the cathode (-). Some scientists have also identified the appearance of a brief luminous ring at the moment of contact between spermatozoon and ovule. This phenomenon has since been measured and is proof of an electrical involvement in fertilisation. Also the charge on the ovum membrane was not fixed but alternated from positive to neutral and to a negative charge in a cycle. This was called the polarity cycle of the ovum membrane. This polarity was found to be predictable but totally separate from the menstrual cycle. The polarity cycle, which is unknown to most of us, was there in addition to the ovulation/menstrual cycle.
The argument behind this finding is that gender(sex) of the baby is influenced by what scientists call "ionic factors" which generate the charge on the ovum membrane and on the sperms.

First let us view this in a different way---According to the Laws of nature----whatever is happening at the microscopic level is reflected in the happenings at the macroscopic level ---or ---in other words whatever happens at the physical (gross) level is a reflection of what happens at the subtle(cellular) level. So we now come to the most important aspect of man-woman relationship ie. marriage (selection of the partner for mating).
Let us now consider the marriage ceremony in various religions:
In Christianity---it is the bride who is first asked by the priest "whether she accepts the would-be bridegroom as the lawfully-wedded husband".
In Hinduism---it is the bride who first garlands the bridegroom, meaning that she has accepted him as her husband and she will bear his children only.
Also it would be worthwhile to note that in Muslim marriage---the would-be bride only is asked by the muslim priest whether she accepts the invitation of marriage(nikah) from her would-be husband.
So in man-woman relationship----man is always the proposer and woman is always the chooser---never vice versa.

From the above observation we can say that the proposing rights are a male prerogative and the choosing rights lie exclusively with the female. Just as a woman cannot be impregnated against her wishes---similarly at the micro level---both sperms (x and y having different charge) are attracted to the ovum having a variable charge---but only the sperm which has the opposite charge from that of the ovum will be able to fertilize the ovum and the other sperm will be rejected.

So when the ovum membrane is positively charged, it will attract the sperm carrying X chromosome (which is negatively charged) and a baby girl is produced. When the ovum membrane is negatively charged, it will attract the sperm carrying the Y chromosome (which is positively charged), and a baby boy is produced. In short, we can say that the 'mating rights' are exclusively with the ovum only-------once the ovum is fertilised then only the x or y sperm determines the sex of the baby(xx means a female and xy means a male)--
--So would it not be most appropriate to say that it is the female which chooses the sex of the baby (by virtue of selecting which sperm to mate with)-------and the male only determines the sex of the baby after conception.(so it is not only unfair but also wrong to blame the male for choosing the sex of the baby---as the poor male has absolutely no control over which sperm(x or y) will finally fertilise the ovum --because it is the mother nature(ovum) who finally decides which sperm(x or y) to mate with in accordance with its polarity------which eventually decides the sex of the baby.

Conclusion: Female of the species are more powerful than the male.

The accidents on the roads are mainly, if not exclusively, (apart from many other causes), are due to excessive number of vehicles on the roads.

This excessive number is due to increase in demand of small vehicles and two wheelers. This is due to 1) inadequate production and promotion of vehicles of mass transport such as buses, 2) Artificial creation of felt status need 3) Aggressive marketing 4) excessive production and supply of private cars, auto-rickshaws and two wheelers and 5) Easily available low interest (easily affordable for a certain class of people) loans for purchase of private cars, rickshaws and two wheelers.

Ideally the government should have proper policies, rules and regulations for rectification of this aberration, in terms of excessive production. In addition, the government should also make it mandatory for the banks to give substantially lower interest loans for the purchase of buses as compared to and in preference to private cars, rickshaws and two wheelers.

But even if government fails to do so, the banks can volunteer and take initiative and lead to provide substantially lower interest loans for purchases of buses as compared to and in preference to the loans for cars, rickshaws and two wheelers.

This can have some rectifying influence in terms of preferential purchase of buses and running public undertakings and businesses of mass (bus) transport.

The persons in the money lending sectors such as banks, and especially those in decision making position, have to realize that their concern for the prevention or reduction in the number and severity of road accidents can be effectively expressed to the satisfaction of their conscience, through such a bank policy and its implementation. This is because even though, this measure obviously can not prevent the road accidents completely, it would certainly tackle one of the major causes of road accidents, viz. easy financing and thereby unabated increase in the number of vehicles on the roads. This would surely reduce the number and severity of accidents.

This point certainly does not undermine the importance of the individual precautions. But it is important to realize that this measure is not merely complementary to all the precautions the car owners, drivers, pedestrians and the traffic police should take, but its impact, like that of any accurate decision, is far more effective, widespread and on massive scale than any individual or institutional precautions, taken in isolation.

==============================
We worship and adore the champions of charity. No doubt they have large hearts and give solace and support to millions.

Q. 1)
But do we ever ask, a) Do they provide radical solutions to the problems in which they work? b) Why have they to work at the mercy of government grants and public donations? c) WHy have they to work in the suppressive and oppressive framework rules and regulations?
------------------------------------------------------------
We feel proud in donating. No doubt it is commendable and admirable. Callous and petty selfishness brings misery to self and others.

Q. 2)
But do we ever rise to find out the roots of social maladies (which reside in our paradigms) that create the mammoth need for charity?
------------------------------------------------------------
We are noble hearted and well meaning gentlemen (though there may be some drawbacks or deficiencies).
Q. 3)
Can we be a part of an incessant, ongoing, global and victorious process to reach and remedy the roots of individual and social maladies?

APATHY, AGITATION AND SUPER-ACTIVITY

The concept of being above pains and pleasures appears to be akin to being apathetic and indifferent.

The visible sensitive responsiveness to the surroundings; appears to be the hallmark of life.

But apathy, inertia, indolence, intoxication and inaction on the one hand and agitation and aggravated assertion on the other, do not give fulfillment and/or desired result.

Can NAMASMARAN help acquire such state of existence which can emanate the appropriate, illuminating, rectifying and objective influence on the inner and outer environment, besides appropriate intellectual, emotional and physical actions?

It is for everyone to ponder and verify.

CORRUPT PERSPECTIVE, THINKING, FEELINGS & ACTIONS

The word corruption is used so extensively and in so many contexts that it’s meaning has become obscure! Hence corruption is usually and wrongly equated with mere financial scams, bribing, kick backs etc.

Actually the corruption is as ubiquitous as life and the consciousness! The degree of degradation (influenced by the surroundings and influencing the surroundings as well) in one’s own eyes; either consciously or subconsciously and knowingly or unknowingly; determines the degree of corruption (one’s perspective, thoughts, feelings and actions)! The environment and this corruption further interact and influence each other continuously. The corruption of the leaders in different fields in the world and that of the followers; also influence each other. Thus the corruption of the political, religious, intellectual, industrial and other leaders in world can influence the corruption of an individual in any and every part of the world.

Perspective is like the space of consciousness! If the “space” of consciousness is normal, then perspective is universal or normal! The degree of restriction of that space of consciousness determines the degree of the suffocation and throttling of consciousness and perspective also! The degree of this suffocation and throttling corrupts perspective proportionately.

Thus as the space of consciousness goes on getting restricted and perspective goes getting deteriorated, you start getting separated from nature, world, countries, religions, regions, provinces, sects, linguistic groups, castes, communities, creeds, sects and even your own family!

The disease of corrupted perspective is subtle and hence not easily noticed. Since the medial systems today have not learnt to diagnose and treat the disease viz. “corruption of perspective”; they do not identify and treat this disease, which often inflicts the medical systems themselves!

Sectarian and corrupt perspective makes your thoughts, feelings and actions also increasingly mean, lonely, weak, inert, grumbling, intolerant, inconsiderate, resentful, vindictive and miserably selfish and pathogenic (many times concealed under deceptive glamour and glitter) for yourself and the society!

For example; the paradigms or premises of the sectarian supremacy, racial superiority, financial expansionism, religious imposition and so on (without concern for the wellbeing of the entire world) constitutes corruption of perspective.

What is corrupt thinking?

The holistic perspective or normal perspective as gets corrupted (diseased and degenerated) gradually becomes increasingly NARROW, sick and sectarian.

From this sick and sectarian soil of corrupt perspective, the sick and sectarian; corrupt thinking germinates! Everything holistic gets degenerated into everything sick and sectarian!

The rationale behind the international and national laws, conventions, traditions, rules, pacts, in tune with the above perspective; to a greater or lesser extent (without concern for wellbeing of the entire world) constitute the corruption in thoughts.

The racially discriminating constitutions, the legal discrimination on the basis of castes, legal yet unjust tax system/s to exploit certain section for the benefit of another section, the repressive laws against trade, shops and such commercial activities, the legalized destructive promotion of alcohol, the various laws and rules with respect to special economic zones and so on are examples of “corrupt thinking”! The present sectarian medical and education systems (conspicuously lacking integration and productive domain respectively) are glaring examples of corrupt thinking.

The so called corruption (embodying mere financial scams, bribing and even other corrupt activities) is actually crude symptom of the deeper disease viz. corrupt thinking, which in turn is the crude symptom of deeper disease viz. corrupt perspective!

What are corrupt emotions?

The motivation behind the literature, art, media, movies, dramas, advertisements and so on (serving the sectarian aims, petty objectives, and vested interests ingrained in the above intellectual themes; without concern for the welfare of people at large or even at the cost of the welfare of people at large) constitute the corruption of emotions and instincts.

What are corrupt actions?

The actual laws, literature, art forms, media campaigns, movements, and such every activity in different fields either organized or unorganized (without concern for the welfare of the world or at the cost of the welfare of the world) constitute the corruption in actions.

Considering the extent of corruption from the brief discussion above, it should be clear how corruption is really ubiquitous i.e. not only outside but within me as well!!

The roots of the corruption thrive from the faulty perspective from which the corrupt thoughts, emotions and actions spring.

Hence to rectify corruption; mere physical actions, emotional hue and cry and intellectual jargons (even though they may constitute an inevitable phase in the groping crusade against corruption) unknowingly ignore the roots of corruption and hence are not enough. They can not effectively blossom the global perspective and global conscience.

For this i.e. to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and effectively blossom the ROOTS of global perspective and global conscience the answer is NAMASMARAN. It is said that NAMSMARAN breaks open the throttling shackles, which restrict the space of your consciousness and thereby effectively treats the corruption of your perspective, corrupt thinking and corrupt feelings and actions

This universal solution NAMSMARAN (which encompasses all visible and invisible contingents) if practiced universally; is said to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and effectively blossom the ROOTS of global perspective and global conscience and cure the subsequent fallouts of ubiquitous corruption thinking, feelings and actions; right from its roots.

This point of view however, like any other view point needs verification on a massive scale. As the “experiment” does not involve invasive techniques, is absolutely non traumatic, is totally nontoxic, and is completely non-expensive and does not poke or interfere with any belief system, it should be acceptable to everyone, belonging to all beliefs and non-beliefs!
