WHAT IS SOCIALISM

A political and economic theory of social

organization which advocates that the means of

production, distribution, and exchange should

be owned or regulated by the community as a

whole OR SHARING.

• Do yajna and receive your desired objects

• Who enjoys objects given by the devas without repaying is indeed a thief

• How is this? How to belief this at first place?

• Refer Gita in the chapter 3 slokas 8 to 13

• We need to know many things how not to get entangled the meshes of

Karma

• Lets learn it from Great Guru /Master Lord Krishna

• All the prizes that we get for our Karma is a reward for our actions.

• In this karma not only the individual but also the devatas have big role in

the success. It’s a blessing of the devas. TEAM WORK in other words.

• If it is misappropriated by the man he is verily a thief

• If he hoards, hides, not shares he is a looter, a thief.

• Equal distribution is Krishna’s ideology. So J.V. Stalin, Vladimir Lenin,

Mao Zedong, Che Guevara, Salvador Allende, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez

are all followers of Gita…

• WE believe the Supreme Almighty is the base or foundation of everything

and the whose blessing constitute the Universal peace which translates

into healthy life, bliss, peace, prosperity etc.

• Though there are different castes and communities all of us must strive for

overall improvement and not individual upliftment or self aggrandizement.

• Tensions among members-communities-class-race and caste-nation-

becomes international wars!s

Acc to Hindus, Universe is a home for all creatures. So we belief in charity

and sharing. Some are producers and some consumers. So we have to share

work, wealth, outcome, happiness, knowledge to bring peace.

Easiest is seva, the serving the other being

We may wonder only some produce and others don’t. Answer is for eg Cow

can give liters of milk, buttermilk, ghee. What do we give the cow???

Farmer, shepherd, scientist are GIVERS. LIKE GOD

• Do yajna and eat the Prasad- All the scriptures order this.

• Communion -the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings,

especially on a mental or spiritual level or Prasad or Left over

• Such persons who serve the society are “Yajnites” and eat the remnants do

not attach sins. Not thieves. They are not indebted to the society.

• The prasad he receives is Yajnasishtam removes the sins in the previous

births and sin attached to this karmas.

• Self cooks Those who cook for themselves- who plan organize, toil, salvage,

save, cater to personal gains, eat, drink, dance. EAT ONLY SIN!!!

• Essence- people who act in the world with ego and egocentric desires

gather only sins and live a life of vain, resulting in worries, restlessness,

depression, regrets, substance abuse and more

• Socialism was preached in Hinduism or Gita by Lord Krishna
