Twin Sisters of Khambam Neeti and Pannam Neeti
In today's world, which is full
of uncertainty and we have very many philosophies of various kinds,
religious or otherwise ... an aam aadmi may find it a bit challenging
to understand the bearing that those philosophies have on his/her life
... and it becomes Utterly Butterly Necessary to streamline the
various philosophies that exist as of now, and also will exist in the
future ... so that we can have a proper way of understanding,
evaluating, approaching and considering all those philosophies ... as
essentially, one or more such philosophies, either religious or
otherwise, essentially form part of our daily lives ... either in an
apparent manner or in an unapparent manner.
Essentially, each philosophy, religious or otherwise, comes under the purview of the Khambam Neethi.
The fact that two or more philosophies are being embraced, and/or
forms part of the life of an aam aadmi, makes it a subject matter of
the Pannam Neethi.
As an Intellectual and a Grandhik, i can say with conviction that both Khambam Neethi and Pannam Neethi ... even though are two different neetiyan,
when understood in an intellectual and analytical manner ... but both
are inseparable and are intertwined, when considered through the
'Prism' of the life of an aam aadmi.
Both Khambam Neethi and Pannam Neethi
will have to be understood in their entirety ... so that an aam aadmi
may be aware of the challenges, that any uncertainties may pose in
his/her life ... while he/she goes about his/her Dhinacharya or Normal Way of Life or Day-to-Day activities of an aam aadmi.
Khambam Neethi
The word Khambam is taken from the Hindi word 'Khamba' which means 'a pole'. In Khambam Neethi, the Khambam is considered as the 'Point of Reference' through which an aam aadmi goes about his/her Dhinacharya. The Word Neeti means 'Philosophy'.
Any Neethi which is Sampoornam or 'complete' ... and helps an aam aadmi to lead a meaningful life, would essentially become a Grandham ... and the person who writes such Neethi will be called a Neethigya. Hence its quite apt to conclude ... that a Knowledge Society like the Hindu Rashtra will have people who are Neethigya and/or Grandhik ... who essentially are the part of the Guru Vargera
or the 'Assembly of Learned Scholars' ... who are sensitive towards
the aam aadmi and his/her life ... and would keep the society dwell in a
healthy, intellectual, meaningful and prosperous manner.
Each Neethi or
philosophy, religious or otherwise ... can be considered as a Khambam
or a 'Point of Reference' through which a person strives to understand,
analyze, perceive it and then ingrain it in his/her Dhinacharya.
Only when a person is quite certain that a particular philosophy, is
beneficial to him/her in his/her Dhinacharya ... would he/she would make
a conscious effort to ingrain that Neethi in his/her life.
Khambam Neethi in Religious Parlance
For a Shishya, the Dharma Grandham or religious text of his/her Dharma Guru becomes the Dharma Khambam
through which the Dhinacharya is organized and undertaken. This is
what we understand by what a person means, when he/she is living a
Religious Life. So, reading Bhagawad Gita daily, Singing Bhanjans in
the Praise of the Lord, undertaking Dharma Yatra to the holy places,
etc. becomes a Khambam or the Way of Life for the Shishya.
Also as stated elsewhere in Vamsi Bhashyam ... that if a Dharma Guru
i.e, a Bonafide Guru, specifically instructs a person to make his
instructions/teachings form part of his/her life ... then that person
has the duty to follow the Gurmukhi or 'Word of a Guru' ... of his preceptor. And that Gurmukhi of that Dharma Guru to his/her Shishya ... becomes the Dharma Neethi or 'Religious Philosophy' of that Shishya. And this Dharma Neethi becomes the Dharma Khambam of that Shishya.
Hence, it may be concluded ... that the teachings of a Dharma Guru as written in his/her Dharma Grandham or Religious Texts can be considered as his Dharma Neethi
or 'Religious Teachings' to his/her followers. And that Dharma Neethi
as contained in that Dharma Grandham ... becomes the whole basis or
'Khambam' through which that Dharma Guru goes about performing the
tasks/duties, that have been assigned to him/her by Shri Krishna.
It would be worthwhile to remind the reader of this Pannam titled Khambam Neeti evam Pannam Neethi of the Dharma Grandham named Vamsi Bhashyam ... that essentially all the Dharma Guruvulu of the past, present and future, are the Rayabarulu or 'messengers' of Shri Krishna Paramapurusham or the 'Father' ... with specific Dharma Karyam
or tasks/duties, assigned to them by Shri Krishna Paramapurusham ...
the Dharma Karyam that a Dharma Guru performs, while he/she stays in
this Mruthyu Lokam or the Bhoolookam or Mother Earth. And hence, all the different Dharma Grandhamulu
of all the different Dharma Guruvulu, essentially becomes the
'property' and is 'anthargatham' or 'comes under the purview' of Shri
Krishna Paramapurusham ... as he is the 'Father'. Also, the teachings of
a Dharma Guru are themselves a Khambam for Shri Krishna
Paramapurusham to administer the affairs of the Brahmaand. Its a fact.
Khambam Neethi in aam aadmi's parlance
For an aam aadmi, the main
occupation that he/she undertakes becomes the Khambam through which the
Dhinacharya of that aam aadmi is being carried out.
For example, for a farmer whose occupation Khethi Baadi becomes his Khambam through which that aam aadmi, in this case the farmer, lives his life.
For example, for a Neta or politician ... the Khambam of Jan Hith Kalyan gets the top most priority as a policy maker. But the same Neta makes Rashtra Suraksha
as a Khambam, while dealing with Security related matters, Military
and Police Affairs ... and while engaging his friends and enemies.
But when seen in the context of
a Rashtra or a Country ... the people therein view their Rashtram as
their Khambam. As that Rashtram provides them with shelter, food,
clothes, security ... as for them, their Rashtram is everything. They
are born and brought up there, they eventually shed their bodies there.
Pannam Neethi
The word Pannam is taken from the Hindi word 'Panna' which means a 'Leaf' or 'Page'. In Pannam Neethi, the word Pannam can be understood as a 'Layer' or 'Skin'.
For example, when 'we peel the
skin' of an onion ... we see the vegetable is bartered into layers ...
and each such layer can be considered as a Pannam of that Onion.
According to the Pannam Neethi
... the life an aam aadmi contains Vibhinna Pannam or different layers
of philosophies, either religious or otherwise ... which have a
bearing on his/her Dhinacharya.
Pannam Neethi in aam aadmi's parlance
Lets consider for an Example, a
person is a Karmachari or an Employee ... who is working in a Software
Company. For this Karmachari, his working in a Software Company
becomes his Khambam, through which his Dhinacharya is carried out by
him. But, it may also happen that this person is a Shishya of a Dharma
Guru ... wherein the Dharma Neethi of his guru becomes his Dharma
Khambam. Also, this person may be a professional cricketer, hence the
Game of Cricket becomes another of his Khambam, which influences or has
a bearing on his Dhinacharya.
In the above example, its pretty clear that the three different Khambamulu
... that is, of Karmachari in a Software Company, Dharma Khambam of
his Dharma Guru and Game of Cricket ... influences the way this person
lives his life ... thereby influencing/changing his/her Dhinacharya.
But, when looked through the
prism of Pannam Neethi ... then these three different ways-of-life of
this person becomes three different Pannam or Layers ... which
influence his life as a whole.
If this person, gets serious
about his carrier ... then he may totally abandon the 'Pannam' of the
Game of Cricket ... and wholly concentrate on his office work in his
Software Company. Then, this person is understood to have shed a Pannam
... and his life gets wholly influenced by the other two Pannam of
Karmachari and Dharma Khambam of his Dharma Guru.
Pannam Neethi in Religious Parlance
In a Hindu Home, we see in the
Puja Gadhi or Prayer Room ... we have very many photos or picture and
vigrahas of various dieties that are being worshipped.
Each such 'idealogy' and/or
Dharma Neethi of each such diety being worshipped, can be considered as
a different Pannam or Layer ... which essentially influences the way
we live our lives.
The sacred land of the Sanatana
Dharma, the Bharatha Khandam ... has always revered its gurus, saints
and sadhus ... and the fact that we have very many followers of such
very many gurus, saints and sadhus ... means that both the sadhus and
their followers, have their own pannam or Layers of life ... which
influences the way life goes on in the Hindu Society. The different
gurus themselves become the Pannam or Layer ... which envelops or
influences the lives of their followers.
And its needless to say, that each aam aadmi ... essentially has the influence or envelop or pannam
... of very many Dharma Guruvulu on his/her life. Some Pannam are
quite apparent to that person, but some Pannam cannot be comprehended
by him/her.
Its needless to say ... that
when a Dharma Guru attains peace after his/her salvation ... then the
pannam associated with him/her gets dissappeared ... and hence this
'dissappearance' of his/her pannam again influences the way life gets carried on ... on this bhoolokam.
Change is the only permanent thing of this Material Universe. This is what is called as Shrusthi Dharmam.
It is for this reason, that
since times immemorial ... the people of this great land of India, have
always revered monks and sadhus ... because the presence of Dharma
Guruvulu, Sadhus and Monks on this land is the 'source of sustainance'
for this land. And each such holy man ... has his own pannam which
essentially influences the 'life' on this land.
In my personal opinion, the Shia
Sect of Islam is much more superior than the Sunni Sect. The Sunni
Sect believes in Prophet Mohammed as their only Dharma Guru. Which
makes the lives of the Sunni Sect solely dependend on only one Pannam,
of that of Prophet Mohammed. On the contrary, the Shia Sect believes
and recognizes the fact, that there are many 'masiha' that Allah/Khuda
sends, for taking people in the right direction ... which helps the
Shia People in embrasing many pannams of different holy men ... which
makes their lives in 'lots of secure hands'. The day Prophet Mohammed
attains peace, then that whole pannam of Prophet Mohammed disappears
... making Sunnis scramble around, without any valid religious
ideology.
The fate of the Sunni Muslims applies to Christians also.
The Hindus and the Shia Muslims are a secure lot. Its a fact.
Om Shrivamsinath Sarvakaranakaranam.
Vamsinath.
