About the GHA Global Peace Science,

Harmony Spherons and their LABs

I like the GHA message as we are o­ne irrespective of different race, color, religion or different ethnicity. Humanity is o­ne tribe. Our nature is harmony, love, peace and this can be attained in the atmosphere of freedom, justice and happiness.

The ABC of Harmony and  Global Peace Science are the tools to use to attain a harmonious society and promote the ancient Indian philosophy of Vasudhav Kutumbakam means the world is a affably.

Secondly. I shall refer Indian philosophy of God is o­ne and we call by different names create an atmosphere to unite the humanity in o­ne family.

Finally, UN reform is must and inevitable. We should give our input to the process of reform to expedite and lead into the right direction. GHA should take an active part in the UN reform process where there should be a separate house for the interfaith/religious gurus’ to promote peace and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) by 2030. GHA …. Should be the guidelines to bring global peace a consensus way for harmonious civilization as scientifically based “ABC of Harmony” and through Global peace science.

People have wishes for Global peace but GHA has developed it in a form of a scientific theory which discusses it in the 4 SPHERONS of harmony. These 4 Spherons are classified and given nomenclatures as SOCIOSPHERON-SOCIOCLASS, INFOSPHERON-INFOCLASS, ORGSPHERON-ORGCLASS AND TECHNOSPHERON-TECHNOCLASS. It is a science of social harmony. Many social and spiritual leaders have given the similar views and messages for global harmony in the past several millenniums. SOCIONOME is the term used to measure the various levels. The Spherons National Research Labs (SNRLs) is an excellent idea to establishing LABs. Being Statistician by training and also practicing in the United Nations for collecting , compiling , analysis and reporting in the form of various report  and publications, it suits for me to guide  and also work globally and India in particular in the Laboratory.

Spherons are the key to solving all social problems and challenges. The science will document systematically t findings for the current generation and also for the coming generation. This can be carried through developing an Institute of World Harmony.

I hope it is enough for now and you may consider it as my o­ne page report as beginner. 

I am looking forward to working closely with you and the GHA members for achieving Global Peace, development and harmony in the universe.

My wife Mrs Gaytri Rai with Siddharth

We are o­ne Family from the Prospective of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism)

From

Markandey Rai

New Delhi

• The Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) is not a religion. It is the Philosophy of life. It is universal and based o­n humanity and human values. It has no boundary or limitations

• Vedas, Upnishads, Purnans, Ramayan, Gita and Mahabharat are universal books
• Every soul is divine and can attain the Godhood—Not a sinners as described by others.
• Hinduism is described as:

Ghriti Kshama Damo Steyam

Saucham Indriya Nigrasha

Dhi Vidya Satyamo Crodho

Daskam Dharma Lakshnam

(Patience, forgiveness, restraint, stealing, defecation, keeping the senses under control, do not be wise, teach, truth and anger; these are the signs of ten religion.)

Yagnavalkya has numberednine(9) symptomsof religion:

Nonviolence Truth.

Dana Damo Karo Shanti: Sarvashas Dharmasamakam ..

(Non-violence, truth, stealing (Asta), defecation (sanitation), sense-nirjha (keeping the senses under control), charity, restraint (kindness), kindness and peace)

• Akah Sad Vipra Bahudha Vadanti

(God is o­ne and wise men call by different names) and

• Udar Charitanam Too Vashudhaiva Kutumbakam

(For broader minded people the whole world is a family)

• Vivekananda in his speech in the Parliament of Religion had proclaimed that

Akashyat Patitam Toyam, Yatha Gchhati Sagaram;

Sarva Dev Namskaram, Keshwam Prati Gachchyati

(As water goes to ocean ultimately which drops from the sky; prayer to all the gods ultimately goes to Krishna)

·Vivekanad said: No need to be converted to Hindu religion, Be a good Muslim, Be a good Christian.

·RR Diwakar had commented: Do not Blame Hinduism, Blame people.

·A Universal prayer in Hinduism is as for all and not o­nly for the Hindu’s:

Sarve Bhawantu Sukhinah

Sarve Santu Niramayah

Sarve Bhadrani Pashyantu

Ma Kaschit Dukh Bhagbhawet

(May all live in happiness; may all keep away from illusions and delusions and may they look at beautiful things and may no o­ne suffer from any kind of pain)

Om Purnamadah, Purnamidam Purnat Punya Mudachyate

Purnasya Purnamaday Purnmewa Vashishyate

Om Sah Na Wawatu Sah Noo Bhunaktu,

Sah Viryam Karwawhai.

Tejaswi Na Wadheetmastu

Ma Widwisha Wahe

OM Shanti; Shanti; Shanti

(Om,May the divine protect us; May he nourish us both. May our study be vigorous and fruitful. May we not hate other?Om peace, peace, peace)

·Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) is not an organized or barricaded Institution. o­ne can go to Rama temple/ Krishna Temple or Shiva temple wherever o­ne wishes to go. The highest realization is to be a good human being.

Siya Ram Maya Sab Jag Jani, Kasrahu Pranam Jori Jug Pani

Hinduism is for the proper arrangement in the society, which is structured in four classes, which are supposed to be very flexible. God Krishna says in Gita that:

Chatur Varanyam Maya Shristham, Guna Karma Vibhagshah.

For Example: Vashisth married with Arundhati. (scheduled cast)

Viswamitra became Guru though he was Kshtriya; Drona Charya also became Guru)

All Gurus in Shikhism are from the family of Ramachandras from Lava and kusha: Sodhi and Vedi. (Guru Nanak, Angad and Ramadas from Vedi and rest up to tenth Guru from Sodhi).

Nandnar –Tamilnadu Sivait met god in Chidambaram.

·Be Good and Do Good

·No Hate to Different Religion

Ramakrishna experienced all the religion.

Hinduism is not an organized religion as others.

Main message of Hinduism from Ved Vyas is:

• Astadas Puraneshu Vayshashay Vachanam Dwayam

Propkaraya Punyay Papay Parpidanam

Pothi Parh Parh Jag Mua Pandit Bhaya Na Koy

Dhai Akshar Prem Ka Padhe So Pandit Hoya

·Annie Besant: Freedom of opinion, but orthodoxy in life, these have been characteristic of Hinduism throughout its evolution; hence the vast range and diversity of philosophies, and stability of its social fabric and its family life.

Harmony with surroundings and personification of every being. Rivers respected as mothers. Mountains as god and all plan and trees as form of God.

Yoga Science to realize spiritual knowledge through a GURU.

Gyan Marg – Gyam Yoga, Karm Marg – Karma Yoga , Bhakti Marg- Bhakti yoga

Kalidas has described about ruling the kingdom by Aja Maharaja in his Raghuvansam that each of his subjects were thinking that he alone was very dear or close to the king.

Gandhi Ji when a farmer approached him to advise his son to stop eating Gud (Raw Sugar or Jagari) and Gandhi Ji ask him to bring his son after a week because first Gandhi Ji wanted to stop eating Gur and then to preach this to the Boy.

“Jo Kaho So Karo”

There should be no difference in “Kathani” and “Kartani”

nOne should go by the preaching of Gita o­n Karmayoga where Lord Krishna states that:

n”Karmanyewa Dhikarste; Ma Faleshu Kadachana

(You have right to Works but not o­n the fruits of it)

Eke Sadhe Sab Sadhe

Sab Sadhe Sab Jahi

Be a good human being. Govern yourself as global citizen. The Religious institutions will be automatically governed well. You are the unit of an institution. You are the nut and bolt of any institution.

Kastuti kundali Base, MrigDhudhe Ban Mahi

Rahiman Aise Prabhuhi Taji, Khojat Firiye Kahi.

It has been s concluded by many scholars after studying different religions and philosophy that there is no difference in accepting the concept of o­ne God; o­ne calls Him by various names. The difference is in the approach to know, method of worshipping and attaining Him. The Goal is o­ne but the path and mode of journey may be different. All paths, which lead to the same goal, are secret and great. None is superior or inferior. Religion is the universal love and which brings us closure and based o­n humanity. This is the reason that Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) does not believe in conversion. Hinduism is for wisdom and universal principle of love.

Guru Nanak Deva explained it very eloquently as:

Ek Noor Te Sab Jag Badia

(There is o­nly o­ne Divine light, which created the whole universe)

The creator of this universe is o­ne and we can see His form are as per our imaginations of believers and o­ne can adopt any method of worshipping either in a temple or in a mosque or in a church or in a synagogues or in the mountains or at plain. Some may not believe in any power but believes in nature for the creation of universe.

But the sole purpose is to acquire good behavior and to become a good human being.

Mahatma Gandhi was believer and studied Gita and Rama Charit Manas regularly.

His popular prayer was:

Ishwar Allah Tero Namm; Sabko Sammati De Bhagawan

Gandhi ji also likes the Bhajan by Narsingh Mehta:

Baishnav Jan ko Nere Kahiyat Peer Parayi Jane Re

Take the responsibility to make this world a better place to live in for us and also for the coming generations.
