What purpose does this site serve?
This website was first created in response to an assignment on digital media which was
part of a MBA program. The facilitator suggested that a site like this must be part of our public persona, and surely we were awarded marks for it.
But a good idea, which it is, I decided to retain the website anyway. It is an introduction of myself to those who would care to
find out. And it should give broad hints as to the general direction I am looking at. It will provide information on
my books and Websites and hopefully the readers will see on what it must count in order to move towards the dawn in the horizon.
Let wisdom manifest, in full force, into science, common sense and commmon
litrature of this generation; and we will be on course...
Aiming High
The prophesies foretold the coming of a transformational
leader in the year 1994. How I wished I could be that... "But if I was not that leader
I should be one of his foremost lieutenants…" That was a thought that inspired
me to work towards the BEST. This happened early in life. And I have been at it ever since.
...
The wait has been long and it is 2024 now… and then how much more should one wait…?
No visible temporal leader of the expected spiritual impact has come.
And in the meanwhile a significant volume of
work has been generated. Time does not stop for anybody. It does not feel right to wait anymore.
The findings of my committed study might as well be released. It has been
let out in parts in the form of books but now it is time to stand up and communicate clearly.
And it is in order; there is much that can be achieved.
The claim of ancient wisdom is that there is indeed a way around the problems that haunt
us today. And with this solution as the minimum, plus with more minds chipping in, the
solutions can only get better. So lets get down to seeing what the wise
of the bygone millennia indicate for us. And if we have to
spend our energies hammering at our problems anyway,
why not take useful tips from those who have been there and done that.
I, Nixon, have no request save this… look at this maths numerical I have worked out…
check out for yourself whether it is right. And if it is, think of all the possibilities
that open up for tackling contentious issues facing the world.
How sincere has Nixon been in his pursuit?
...it is difficult to say, but despite the weaknesses and constraints one has done his best.
And what is now being presented are two websites sinduland.com and pswaraj.com and a series of
books that are an outcome of that effort. Hopefully the stakeholders will benefit.
The highest has to do with the spirit
The pursuit of the best
was supplimented with good fortune.
The gifts one received included a good family with hardworking devout parents.
The king among the spiritual leaders who have walked on land, Jesus Christ, and Christianity were
a part of my growing up. I was fortunate to have had the influence of the Indian culture and the best
of amazing teachers. The colony where we stayed had a cosmopolitan atmosphere and
five languages came to us siblings naturally.
...
A few lines from the Bhagwad Gita came in an encouraging letter from my cricket coach, Mr. VG Giri, and
a full translation of the blessed book was given to me by my father’s colleague, Mr. R Kulkarni,
as a gift. With that I was introduced to the
best of spiritual wisdom. When I asked myself whether Christ would have objected to my trying
to understand the Bhagwad Gita,
which in turn is claimed to be the truth about human/spiritual nature,
the reply came strongly in the negative. Ever since, the Gita has served as an opportunity for me, to
investigate a remarkable digest of spiritual thought mastered in ancient India. The
expose by the book is so revealing that it even led to a deep appreciation of the intellectual
dimensions to Jesus Christ's work. And finally the best of the living Gyan Yogis of this
generation, Sirshree Tejparkhi of the Happy Thoughts fame, has been facilitating his disciples,
including me, on a journey of self-discovery. And the benefits have been immense.
And what have I found in this spiritual journey? ... That I am nothing!!
(So much for the high aim!) That my true nature is the Shunya (Zero), which
the Buddha talked about. That I am the
same as everyone else. That I have to 'give up myself' the way Jesus Christ wanted me to. That just
a polevaulter must drop his pole when he jumps across the bar, I have to give up even my religious
identity if I need to reach nothingness. The meditators call it the no-mind state in which the real
self is revealed; and there is a shift away from self which the mind conjectures.
And this nothing, Sirshree Says, is everything. Investigations into peak and plateau experiences
by Abraham Maslow show that this is about a state that is filled with peace, creativity and excellence.
Eckhart Tolle dwells on 'being in the present' and talks of the 'Power of Now'. Sirshree says
'There is no other' and therefore through the discovery of the true self
universal love awakens in that individual. These pointers already
account for love, peace, excellence, power... These qualities manifest when one transcends.
Then there is divinity and Heaven. The wise point to the inner self having
oneness with the Maker, just as Christ was one with His Father. In Hindu learning Adwitatic
oneness indicates man's inner being having oneness with God. In it there is the
super natural; metaphysical miraculous phenomenon have been reported throughout history.
I have personally witnessed and experienced miracles. But then I have found that this Divinity
is available to the devotee only beyond the giving up of the ego and
transcending to nothingness. That 'giving up' is the starting point which
Jesus Christ has, kind of, patented.
Giving up the ego is samarpan (total surrender) and it is the basic entry ticket to the joys of heaven.
Any true Indian Guru will tell you that.
Have I experienced nothingness? Surely yes! And that is not something unique or rare.
Abraham Maslow, through his investigations,
found out that peak and plateau experiences are universal. That means that everyone
has experienced this some time or the other. But the ancient wise add that while having such
an experience, if one looks inwards and discovers that the "I am" reference is not
to the body, but to an universal spirit, then that wise one discovers/realizes his true self.
But this discovery can also be unlearnt and the real challenge is to find a way to get to
the experiences and permanently shift into being the universal self.
This process of attaining permanance has been termed as self-stabilization.
How much longer must one wait for Self-stabilization and to see 'God' (Allah, The Om, The Father)
the way the masters experienced? Time goes by, and Sirshree suggests that one must not
wait but rather continue doing the assigned work towards the higher cause regardless.
Therefore today I leave the rest to faith, which in turn has never failed me so far.
The three inspirations have indeed guided me to the best I could have. And there is
no looking back.
Diverse learning and experience
And the blessing received is plentiful in the temporal plane too.
With an MSc in Physics the scientific temper comes naturally.
And with post graduate studies in the fields of Government and Management
from outstanding and innovative schools, from the learning received from handpicked
teachers at the Periyar IAS academy and from ten years at the National Defence Academy
...
one cannot ask for more. Surely no one mind can master even a fraction of the knowledge
that is available to the scientific world today, so I could never be all-knowing even if
I wished. But one can do the best with what one has imbibed. And surely there is enough
to present what appears as a solution in the present situation of great intellectual flux.
Much passion has gone into this effort and parts of it has been wetted
by no mean minds. And you will see this as you explore the websites.
We can/must/will prevail.
So What have I been up to?
This particular website is meant to introduce me,
Nixon Fernando to those who would like to know. It is about presenting my work.
The work is about truth; about spirituality;
about science; about polity. It is also surely about perception;
a different way of looking at things, which also has a claim of honesty about it and it claims
...
a promise of a workable solution for the present times. Most of all the fundamentels are strong.
And it is an earnest appeal that goes out to the reader to hear it out.
The findings are finally out on paper in the form of literature that
is referenced in the Sinduland.com website.
While the references 1 through 6
consist of books that address the issues of the nation, the Reference 7 is a
combined work done alongside two towering legends Mr. TN Seshan and
Prof Bala B Balachandran. This book “Yogyathwa” deals with leadership and
among other things, unravels the deep insights of the Ancient Indian Masters on
leadership. The scientific spirit is retained in context. One other aspect
of the vision, which is directly addressed to the people of the villages,
is elaborated in detail in the website pswaraj.com.
Are these findings, revealed in the said literature, facts, or
are they mere perceptions? Let’s find out. The claim is that the vision
constitutes a package that will help India along the path of realizing its potential as a Guru to the world;
leading to being the "Golden Bird" or "Sone ki Chidiya" as they used to call it.
