The karmayogi journalists and human rights activists
Rest yogis perform hawan (scarify) of entire nerves-system and body-life-function into the enlightened by knowledge self-disciplined-yog-form fire. (Gita: 4/27)
Sit straight, relax, withdraw all life force and mind from the muscles, close the eyes, shut off by the command of will the senses of hearing, smell, taste, sight, and touch, now centre your mind between the eyebrows and chant God or keep quit and when you attend focus or ecstasy, broad caste your wish. Perform it atlest for half an hour repeatedly in every day. The various breathing exercise of yoga is helpful in un-attaching you from nerves system and facilitating concentration. Way to liberation is to find all –desire-quenching/ satisfy/ reduce divine bliss in ecstatic meditation. By meditation and conscious ecstasy the soul becomes established in true nature and is liberated from its mortal nature or ego. Yoga facilitate individual soul to behold itself as a reflection of God’s ever-new joyous Being, undisturbed by the breeze of desires. By deeper and deeper concentration and meditation one learn the highest ecstasy of feeling the union of soul and God in Samadhi (Sabikalpa Samadhi- without conscious of the universe, nirbikalpa Samadhi- fully conscious of God and the universe). Yogoda Satsanga- Lessons in Self Realisation- S.^-L.139
Samadhi is in yagya-form in this stanza. Few yogis perform hawan in all the ten nerves/sense- function. During the Samadhi function of entire nerves including mental are shut off or on peaceful rest. Progressively body-function also are shut off or on peaceful rest in Samadhi.
Samadhi and sleeping status, both seems to be same from outside. During Samadhi yogi is in conscious state, awaken on knowledge of “God is everything” and nerves system and body function are on peaceful rest. During sleep person is in unconscious mind and body function normally.
The festivals in India are driving force of market. Last year an owners of flourmill stated that quantity of wheat for chaat-puza came was less in compare to last year. My father stated that people visited to pond of our colony for chaat-puza were less this time. What all these mean. Let us see what is the situation in the present year. The chaat-puza is performed by people of various caste including dalits and backward. The chaat-puza is dedicated to Lord Sun who is responsible to spread the message of karma-yoga. How many devotees try to understand karmayog? Does chaat-puza is successful without performing karmayog?
The following news adds to the concerns.
· The Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection in October declined to ₹ 95,380 crore, as against ₹ 1,00,710 crore in the same month a year ago
· India’s unemployment rate in October rose to 8.5%, the highest since August 2016
· Rural household consumption dropping to a seven-year low as both farmers and landless labourers suffer drops in incomes
· India’s trade deficit growing.
· Manufacturing activity at 2-year low in October
· Core sector output falls 5.2% in September
· Israeli spyware used to target Indian journalists, human rights activists
These will be affecting the poor, most. Therefore dalits and backwards community shall meditate and awaken themselves and find out solutions. The above situation is depicting Parlay- Samadhi from which people shall protect themselves. The practice of karma-yoga by one and all can only restore Brahma-world, any deviation by anyone will disrupt the process of nature-universe. Following Sant Ravidas, dalits and backwards shall increase their role in political and economic process and bring change in power equation.
Alike Lord Sun, the karmayogi journalists and human rights activists are expected to facilitate democratization of political and development process. People shall review how far present journalists and human rights activists are relevant to their cause? How much they are free from affection-hate element? How much they have exposed affection-hate element of the system?

Worse news awaits the economy

In an age of constant news alerts, bad news feeds on itself until it becomes a kind of mass whispering campaign.
Even discounting for that, the unforgiving run of economic news in the past 10 days or so has been worse than in several years.
Rural household consumption dropping to a seven-year low as both farmers and landless labourers suffer drops in incomes suggests the bottom is falling out of the bottom of the pyramid.
The acute shortage of liquidity among traders and shopkeepers in rural areas, which is forcing multinationals to step in to extend financial support, points to the continuing collateral damage from our crisis in the non-bank financial sector.
v:shapes=”_x0000_i1027">
The decline in exports for yet another month and a steeper drop in imports brought home the effects of a global/national slowdown.
Just when you think economic news can’t get worse, it does.
The volatile industrial Production index contracted month on month by 4.2% in August (seasonally adjusted), the steepest decline in five years.
Even though consumer prices (excluding vegetables) are up a manageable 3.2%, the huge jump in onion prices is a reminder that India is a flailing State, unable to fix these recurrent problems with the storage and supply chain management of a staple food for years on end.
The Reserve Bank’s bi-monthly review shone a spotlight on the decline in capacity utilisation at India’s factories, which fell to levels just below those seen in 2008 during the global financial crisis.
The RBI’s quarterly survey showed business confidence had dropped to levels not seen since the global financial shock.
Order books of manufacturing companies contracted by 23% in the quarter ending June 30.
When the discussion of the economy becomes more widespread than debating politics or cricket, India has a problem.
During the taper tantrum in the summer of 2013, before Raghuram Rajan’s eloquent defence helped stabilise things, I happened to visit my often comically blunt Chinese tailor in Hong Kong.
When I told him I was relocating to India, he wondered aloud what sort of person would make such a decision with the rupee in free fall.
Recently, it was a trip to the dentist in Bengaluru that prompted déjà vu.
I had barely slid into my chair at the Khincha dental centre when my dentist remarked on the dichotomy between the $ 3 billion sold by Amazon and Flipkart et al in their recent festival sales and the general malaise of the economy.
Was it the lipstick effect, he wondered?
His reference was to the theory that in bad times, consumers will selectively spend on a luxury item.
That is as good an explanation as any for the 30% jump in gross merchandise value in the festival sales this year versus last year except that GMV is questionable in accounting terms and not a reliable yardstick of the health of the economy.
Given the scale of discounting and the likelihood that this government will soon issue a fatwa against deep discounting, consumers would have been foolish not to shop.
The jump in e-commerce GMVs aside, there is little to suggest the economy is turning the corner.
In fact, worse may be ahead.
The merry go round that is the world of e-commerce is in the midst of a reality check.
There has been a sharp slowdown in the number of start-up funding deals and in the launch of new start-ups over the past two years, according to a recent analysis in Mint.
For another, if the government signs on to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, the shock to many of our producers could be severe.
It is not obvious at all that joining is going to miraculously turn around huge trade deficits we currently run with this cohort.
India’s trade deficit with these countries almost doubled from $ 54 billion in 2013–2014 to $ 105 billion in 2018–2019.
A free trade agreement with Europe, for instance, would be less risky and more beneficial.
Given the mounting stresses in the economy, it is quite probable we will have another alarming revelation or three in the financial sector.
As Ananth Narayan, former regional head for financial markets for Southeast and South Asia at Standard Chartered, points out in a piece for CNBC, ‘NBFCs reported (gross non-performing assets) GNPA of 6.6% of advances as of March 2019 lower than the 9.3% reported by banks. Few analysts believe this reported NBFC GNPA.’
He suggests India follow an initiative in the late 1990s to carve out bad assets from Malaysia’s financial system.
After the Asian financial crisis, the government-backed Danaharta bid for Malaysia’s large stressed assets.
Financial institutions could refuse to sell, but were then required to take punishing provisions on the assets.
On the other hand, ‘if Danaharta recovered more than the original bid price through the resolution process, 80% of the surplus recovery was returned to the original financial institution,’ writes Narayan.
Danaharta eventually reported an overall recovery rate of almost 60%.
Without similarly bold action to deal with our banking crisis, count on the economy’s doldrums to continue for much longer than most of us anticipate.

Manufacturing activity at 2-year low in October, says survey
November 01, 2019 11:35 IST
Manufacturing activity in the country continued to weaken in October, with factory orders and production rising at the weakest rates in two years, a monthly survey said on Friday.
The headline seasonally adjusted IHS Markit India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to a two-year low of 50.6 in October from 51.4 in September.

This indicates only a marginal improvement in the health of the manufacturing industry, the survey said.
In PMI parlance, a print above 50 means expansion, while a score below that denotes contraction.
As per the IHS Markit survey, the cooling of manufacturing sector conditions in India continued in October, with both factory orders and production rising at the weakest rates for two years.
“Subsequently, job creation softened to a six-month low, while companies were reluctant to hold excess stock and lowered input buying in response,” it noted.
The PMI data for October showed a continuation of manufacturing sector weakness in India, “with sales growth softening to the slowest in two years”, said Pollyanna De Lima, principal economist at IHS Markit.
“Weakening demand had a domino effect in the manufacturing industry, knocking down rates of increase in production, employment and business sentiment,” Lima said.
With quantities of purchases contracting for the third month in a row, Lima pointed out that input costs fell for the first time in over four years during October.
