WHERE IS OUR MIND !!!

Dear friends see all the photos carefully in this article and think where is your mistake to choose a master. See what Mahabodhi Meditation Centre of Bodhgaya is doing !!! And now you see what Lord Buddha said —  “ The tree that gives you pleasant shade, To sit or lie at need, you should not tear, Its branches down, a cruel wanton deeds ” — The Jataka, Vol IV, Page 222.  Where is our mind ??

Now tell me what kind of master he must be who is running such monastery in Bodhgaya and also running meditation courses ? Where is compassion for a tree ? What kind of student he produce ? Did the master not come to Mahabodhi Temple for prayer ? Can’t he see what his student deed ?  Now look at one of the NGO  from UK “ sacred earth trust ” who is getting support directly from 17^th Karma Pa Ugyen Trinley Dorje. Look at the red tin piece. What kind of teachings Karma Pa ji is giving and what kind of student he / she must be ??  Where is our mind ??

Now see what the Hindus are doing. Look the Hindus hang idols and add

All are same. We walk on grass but none of us ever said sorry to these living organism. All of you have attained many courses of big big master but do they ever spoke about it ???  We pee on grasses but none of us ever say sorry to all these grasses !!! Where is the mindfulness of  big big masters as well as within us ???  We spread water on grass only to get pleasure of a lash green field but not as a living organism that needs water to save a life.  Where is our mind ?       

A bullet is the real hero in life. The fear of death forces a person to trigger on. The opposite party knows that if he does not fire then the other party will fire on him. It is the both sides fear of death works behind for which the result is a bullet hits this side or that side and that is not bravery. But we give medal in the name of bravery !!!   Where is our mind ?        

Keep in mind that you are the trusty of Lords money and the money which you have is not your money. A person goes to a Holy Place for Merit but 99% people don’t know what is actually called merit. The basic of merit is people should not offer to lord what the prophet left from His house that means worldly luxurious things. You can offer fruits to the Lord but not a “ Golden Ring ”. You can only offer the basic needs to a monk, which does not mean a Car or an Air Conditioner or a Mobile phone that is demerit if you give. When you are offering any thing to a monk at that time if any other monk from other religion stand beside you or pass away from that very place then you have to show the same kind of respect towards him too the way you respect to your traditional monk and then it will be consider as a  Merit but in practical life we never seen such act. Generally people don’t take back merit from Holy Place for their ignorance. You have to utilize your brain that who is needy. A beggar or a layman dose not mean that he / she is needy. Never give money to any one for any purpose, giving money creates corruption in the society and encouraging people to be lazy and it is demerit. Where is our mind ?         

As soon as you said that my Master is the Best OR my religion is the best OR my traditional monks are the best then you are the most ignorant person in this world which is a great demerit. Your truth is your truth and that truth is not the truth of almighty. So never try to insist others to believe on your truth otherwise it is a demerit. When you are in the foreign land then respect their culture and dress up yourself as they do and go to a Holy Place according to the local tradition and that will be called merit. Where is our mind ??

The Peoples are always talking about PEACE and for that many campaigns, conferences, seminars and prayers taking place in the world and also it is still continue till today. May be the organizers are Hindu or Buddhist or Islamic or any one. The question is where is peace then ??? All the great Monks from all religion are organizing world peace prayer & conference every year but the ultimate result of peace is = BIG ZERO !!! Does it not mean that all these great monks really don’t have any power ???  The hard truth is those people don’t know how to spend their money they are organizing all these peace prayer, conference….etc. More than 50 years of  formation of  United Nation 300 wars took place in the name of freedom and in the name of peace keeping. Where is our mind ??

In the past Lord Rama and Krishna was involved in the war when they were prophets. His Holiness Hazarat Bab from Bahai community also involved in war. Islamic prophets were also involved in war.  Buddhist countries were also involved in the war. Why they did not take path of peace !!!? Do they all foolish ? Do they don’t know that a war killed innocent people ?  Where is our mind ??

Peace cannot be achieved in outer world. The fundamental law is if there is no destruction then you cannot think of construction. Peace is within you. It is not out side. How to achieve it that must be the question and it must be asked by all of us. And for that you have to think what are the basic needs for a human to live a life and for that you need a place to sit and think. Where is our mind ? 

To achieve peace :-

1^st you have to surrender yourself to the will of almighty that means what ever is happening in this world that is the will of almighty and accept it gladly with out asking any question and then you can achieve “Peace”.

2^nd you need “Security”, so how to achieve it ?? You work in any field so that you can earn some money and that is security.

3^rd you need “Prestige”, so how to achieve it ?? You lived an honest life which will bring you prestige in the society.

4^th you need “Knowledge”, so how to achieve it ?? You read the Holy Books and practice the advice in your life. To teach is to learn. That is called knowledge.

5^th you need “ Marriage” but what type of girl ?? Choose a girl who believes in simplicity and also believe that the children’s are the property of “ Lord ” not mine.

When human being follows all these points then peace will reach to them and then we can think of world peace. The hard truth is all these points will never followed by everybody and peace will never be achieved in the society. Where is our mind ???

When a monk said this land is mine, this thing is mine, who lives in luxury is not a monk but today’s psycho blindness of devotees rich or poor ruined the monk’s community. Weak up devotees that is my plea.   Where is our mind ?           

WHO DID IT ? WHAT A SHAME FOR 2 LEGS !!!!!

Look at the condition of this mental lady who have no one !! She is pregnant by some anti social element in the land of enlightenment the great Bodhgaya, Bihar, India. Who is going to look after the coming babe ? What will be the condition of that new born babe ? The Medical Termination of Pregnancy ( MTP ) Act 1975 does allow for abortion with condition to a lady but from the out look of Indian culture it is not permitted. Holy Scripture does not allow it too.

I beg to our District Magistrate Of Gaya Smt. Bandana Ji to help this lady but I have a big question within self that I the Arup Bramhachari ( Swami Ji ) filed FIR for her mis-deeds, a Legal Notice and taking her to supreme court soon so how she can listen my words ??? Let us all pray for this lady.

19-05-2012 .. Today i came to know that the lady gave birth of a cute boy yesterday. The bodhgaya health centre one way kick out the lady from hospital in this condition ….. not even they take care of this mad lady for 24 hours. I search a lot and spoke to the authority and lastly found that a nurse from Magadh Medical Collage Madam Sujata Sarkar ( Phone No. 9709445994 ) is taking care of the babe. The babe is having high fever.  I wrote a letter to DM gaya again( dated 19-05-2012 and 20-05-2012 ).

No help from the District Magistrate of gaya even when she is a lady. Where is that lady even i don’t know. No one helps this mad lady. Sorry to say no respect for a mad people in my country. So many news channels we have in India but no one came forward to help this lady and lastly a kind boy from media cameforward and shoot out full episode to get help. let us pray for the lady and child.

The Left photo is the photo of Mad lady and the right photo is the new parents of the babe.

                   

REPORT OF THE MAGADH DIVISION COMMISSIONER TO COURT

REPORT OF THE MAGADH DIVISION COMMISSIONER

CONFIDENTIAL                 Letter No. 422 / C      Dated 1.12.2007

SEALD COVER

To

The Chief Judicial Magistrate

Gaya.

Reference :-   Your letter No. 198 / 27.08.2007 and 2329 / 16.10.2007 dated appertaining to complaint case no. 850 / 2007 Arup Bramhachari Vs Jitendra Srivastav & others to investigate and report relating to the matter in issue.

Sub:- Enquiry report of the matter under reference.

Sir, I have personally enquired on 5.11.2007 and probed about the correctness of the complaint under reference and found the truth as follows :-

1.   It is true that the Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee ( B.T.M.C ) is entrusted with the management and control of Bodhgaya Main Temple, Temple land and the properties appertaining thereto under the Bodhgya Temple Act and as such B.T.M.C has absolute control over the same and no one can do any thing the same without knowledge and permission of B.T.M.C

2.   The persons arrayed as accused in the complaint case under reference are the members and authorities of B.T.M.C

3.   The Great Holy Pipal Tree is of immense archaeological, religious, national, international and social importance and among others the same has also been declared as “ World Heritage ” by the “ UNESCO”. Hence, the great Pipal tree is public property.

4.   On enquiry it transpired to me by the witnesses viz. Deepak Malaker and Ajay Paswan that on 10. 07. 2007 the accused no. 3 Bhante BodhiPal, ordered Sri Deepak Malaker, working as employee of B.T.M.C at that time, to cut down some cardinal parts of the great Pipal tree and in obedience of the dictation of his master the said Sri Deepak Malaker cut down the same in presence of the accused no. 4 Sri Bhajju Yadav. After getting cut down some substantial parts of the great Pipal tree, the said accused Bhante Bodhipal ordered the said Sri Deepak Malaker to carry the same to his house i.e B.T.M.C compound area and accordingly Sri Deepak Malaker carried the cut down piece of the great Pipal Tree to the house i.e B.T.M.C compound area of the said accused Bhante BodhiPal.

5.   I have seen the Cut Off portion of the great Pipal Tree personally and it appeared to me that the cuttings are about 2 years old from now. The “ Forest Research Institute ” of Dehradun also conformed about the cutting down the Holy Pipal Tree.

6.   However, the main control over the “Temple’s ” properties and the great Pipal Tree has been of the accused no. 2 to 4 as they have / had direct links with the day to day affairs of the same. The accused no. 1, being merely an Ex – Officio Chairman of B.T.M.C is honoured with only ornamental post to whom no direct liability should be charged.

7.   At the time of enquiry I also found that the great Pipal Tree leaves collected by their special staff at the time of spring and then sold it to the special friends by the culprits through their high voltage technique. Not only that there are lot of monetary scandal done by the accused no. 2 and 3 which must be checked by the special audit and judicial enquiry may be conducted to know  the nefarious activities going on in the Temple area and B.T.M.C.

8.   Hence, in conclusion, I myself find that the accused no.2 Dr. kalicharan Yadav, 3. Bhante BodhiPal, 4. Bhajju Yadav ( P.R.O ) are involved in some nefarious activities like cutting the branches of the great Pipal Tree, not maintaining any log book which is mandatory to touch the great Pipal Tree. There are no accounts for the leaves they take out from the Tree or are collected. Cutting of branches of the great Pipal Tree have been done casually which even a common man would have not been down it. These people exploiting the “ Temple Area ” and the properties of the B.T.M.C to gain their personal advantages which is related to monetary affairs and a high powered team of expert must investigate the personal wealth of accused no. 2 to 4. Therefore the complaint case under reference is true and correct against no. 2 to 4 and hence accordingly apt and suitable legal action should be taken against all of them.

IMPORTANCE OF BODHI TREE

BY LINDA NOBLE, USA

Abstract

“……. In a world of growing state and gang violence with western militarism ( lead by an egotistical, paranoid and short sighted leader of the USA ) against a ” war on terror ” which can not be won ( and only produces suffering  for millions of innocent non-combatants ), wisdom, compassion and peaceful diplomacy is the only rational and practical way to save future generations of this world.

A young Indian aesthetic started the peaceful inner revolution of the human mind, ( which is a counter  force to militarism and violence ) 2500 years ago when he became enlightened under  a simple  Bodhi Tree. The teaching of the Buddha are very applicable today and the Bodhi Tree is  ” THE  PEACE  SYMBOL ” of out changing world,  for now  and the future. Since Indian civilization is renound for philosophy, religious  and cultural diversity,  and is aloe the largest demarcation nation in Asia, India now has the moral obligation to be the custodian of the tree for all people of the world.

Now in our age of globalisation, the Buddhist philosophy of interdependence and the doctrine of emptiness are even more  visible  and applicable. Understanding this ancient Indian philosophy is not only gaining popularity but is being accepted by the greatest of political, scientific mind of our time. With His Holiness the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace  Prize Laurent and refugee who is eternally grateful to India, as a world representative for Indian Buddhist Philosophy and proponent of Mahatma Gandhi’s peaceful  politics and means, India has such a fantastic opportunity to become a strong voice in the world stage of peacemaking . And the symbol for world peace is the Bodhi Tree. Saving the tree is a statement that says peace is not only possible but absolutely necessary in a fast changing and desirous world. Save the symbol of Ancient Indian Philosophy that can help the world find answers on the path to peace. ….. ”

FIRST SCIENTIST REPORT OF HOLY BODHI TREE

                                           BY

DEHRADUN FOREST RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Observations on The Bodhivrikhsa ( Ficus Religiosa ) at Bodhgaya

As requested by the District Magistrate, Gaya a team from Forest Research Institute, Dehradun comprising following scientists visited the Bodhgaya Temple on 28^th June 2007 :

1.            Dr. N.S.K. Harsh, Tree Pathologist

2.            Dr. Subhash Nautiyal, Tree Physiolgist

3.            Shir Ram Lal, Wood Scientist

Observations

The revered tree Bodhivrikhsa ( Ficus religiousa ), the papal tree was closely examined and inspected by the team and following observations are made.

1.   The tree is growing normally but major growth is towards one side only while on the other side is temple structure. The branches were spreading towards one side away from the temple.

2.   Just at the base of the tree is the seat of enlightenment ( Bajresan ) on one side towards  the temple.

3.   Around the base of the tree the soil was open, upto 3meters in rectangular shape.

4.   There were dead and dying branches present on the tree. Few branches stubs and wounds of previous cuts were also observed.

5.   The main tree is surrounded by a small-cemented wall and metallic grill.

6.   The small cemented wall surrounding the tree has now been pierced by the roots and has cracked.

7.   Some of the new roots and bark at the base were dying. Some of the roots were exposed on the moil surface.

8.   The stem, bark and exposed wounds were painted with Bordeaux ( copper sulphate, lime and water ) paste as told by Dr. A.K. Singh, Scientist from Rajendra Agriculture University, Patna.

9.   The branches were supported by iron pillars used as props.

10.  Two open surfaces were being used for providing irrigation to the tree outside the main structure. At present they appeared to be having excess water.

11.  Mealy bug attack was also observed on one of the twigs. It was told that there is regular attack of mealy bugs on this and other papal trees in the campus

12.  One dead and decaying branch stub was present near the base ( above 1.5 meters approx. ) on the southwest side, which on tapping gave a hollow sound towards the basal end of the branch suggesting progress of heart rot disease  ( hollowness ). Isolation were made from the decaying part of the stub for associated fungi and other micro-organisms.

13.  Test for hollowness was also conducted all around the main stem by tapping for sound echoes, which reveled absence of heart rot in the trunk at present.

14.  The cut portion of the branch, which has given rise to the present controversy, was closely inspected. The cut branch is nearly 20feet above the ground. On examination the cut end revealed following features :-

a.   Radial as well as longitudinal cracks on the cut surface.

b.   Absence of bark up to 3 feet from the top towards the trunk

c.   Bleached of advance decay of white fibrous rot type.

d.   Bordeaux paste was also applied on the cut end earlier as informed by Dr. A.K. Singh.

e.   The coppice shoots have come out from the lower end where bark was present.

15.  Two other trees of pipal, which were nearby to the Bodhivriksha were also examined. Both the tree showing good vigorous healthy growth, even better then Bodhivriksha. It was informed that during May this year there was premature leaf full of new leaves on the Bodhivriksha, which may be due to some acute physiological stresses affecting the tree. The papal tree on the left of the Bodhivriksha has entrapped the broken cemented wall structure made earlier for boundary by the growing roots of the tree. The tree on the right of the Bodhivriksha was seen wrapped with a yellow cloth around its trunk, which when removed showed termite and fungal attack on the bark of the tree.

16.  The metallic props created for the support of the branches were noticed causing injury to the bark and tissue, which can be seen as dropping of latex on the props.

17.  There was lighting arrangement of the Bodhivriksha in the night. The intensity of the light and heat generated to the nearby branches by the lamp shades, reflectors and bulbs installed may be causing damage to the tree.

18.  No other vegetation was noticed growing below the Bodhivriksha tree.

19.  The moisture content was observed on various parts of the tree for examination of the status of stress. The data is being analyzed.

20.  The samples of wood, bark, leaves and soil were collected for laboratory studies

Inferences drawn about Bodhivriksha

It can be suggested that the Bodhivriksha has recently undergone some form of stress, which was being reflected by the some what scanty and light green leaves in the canopy and damaged roots and bark, as compared to the other two pipal trees growing nearby. The possible reasons for the stress could be :

a.   The light green colour of the leaves may be due to their being new flush and as the leaves are tender.

b.   Copper toxicity due to repeated application of Bordeaux paste on the stem and branches as informed.

c.   Excess moisture in the soil causing asphyxiation ( suffocation ) of the roots as observed in the near by – irrigated areas.

d.   Heat injury due to reflection of solar radiation from the temple structure, which is quite close to the tree.

e.   High intensity electric lights causing hindrance to the respiration process in the night.

f.   The soil was devoid of any other vegetation suggesting an unfavorable environment for the growth of plants, may be due to some heavy metal toxicity.

g.   Soil compaction due to trampling under human feet.

h.   It appears that aging of the tree is slowing down the physiological processes.

Inferences drawn about the cut branch under reference

The stump of the branch was carefully and erratically examined visually and it appears that the cut is more than three years old. The basis of this prediction is explained below.

1.   When a cut or wound is made on a live tree, the sap comes out which is rich in carbohydrates; the sap turns brownish due to the exposure to light and oxygen imparting darker colour to the exposed surface.

2.   The exposed wound is colonized by micro-organisms like bacteria and yeasts.

3.   The exposed surface develop callus and new shoots emerge below the cut.

4.   Weathering of the exposed surface takes place over the time giving bleached appearance to the exposed surface.

5.   Decay fungi set in causing rotting of wood on the dead surface, which may extend to the heartwood establishing heart rot, which gradually create hollowness. The fruiting bodies of the decay fungi then appear on the exposed surface.

6.   The whole processes may take time well over one year but in drier localities with higher temperature this period may be even more than that.

7.   The branch under reference exhibited bleached appearance and decay suggesting it was exposed ( cut ) more than three years ago.

8.   The absence of callus formation, debarking, absence of fruiting bodies of fungi and presence of radial and longitudinal cracks can be attribute to the heat generated by an electric lamp ( top being metallic ) present just below the cut branch which was lighted in the nights. The heat generated gradually causing seasoning ( drying ) of wood revealed as radial and longitudinal cracks on the exposed surface and splitting and falling of bark. The lamp post was moved after March 2006. Moreover, the treatment with Bordeaux paste had also attributed to the debarking, absence of callus and fungal fruiting bodies.

9.   These observations were also corroborated by the photographs provided by the committee, showing date as November 2004 and March 2006 in banners present in the photographs. The cut branch is visible well above the lamppost in these photographs thus confirming the inferences drawn by our study.

10.   The Institute does not have any methodology to precisely determine and predict the time and period of cutting of a tree or its branch, therefore, the predictions made in the present study are suggestive. 

Immediate Steps to be taken for restoration of health for the Bodhivirksha

The declining health of the Bodhivriksha can be restore by adopting following measure :-

1.   The application of Bordeaux paste should be immediately stopped

2.   Excess water in the areas meant for irrigating the tree should be regulated.

3.   The cemented wall near the base should be removed. Care should be taken not to damage the roots underneath it.

4.   The exposed roots should be covered with soil.

5.   Dead branches to be pruned carefully. Small branches may be flush cut initially, but the weight of the branch should be supported until it is completely severed to avoid tearing of the bark below the wound.

6.   The exposed wounds and cut ends should be given dressing with 1 % Bayleton ( Tridemefon ) in linseed oil with a paintbrush to cheek the infection and spread by decay fungi.

7.   Any operation being done for the care and maintenance of the tree should be displayed at a proper place to inform people and for transparency to avoid any controversy.

8.   Between the props and branches thick packing of polyurethane foam should be inserted for cushioning and avoid injury the bark and tissues.

9.   For the management of infestation by mealy bug, spray with 0.02 % Dimethoate should be done on the affected branches with few drops of liquid soap ( shampoo ) as sticker. As the females of the insect crawl from ground on the stern, sticky bands about one meter above ground would cheek their climbing up.

10.  The people should be stopped from going near the tree to avoid soil compaction by trampling.

11.  The metal halide lamps and other lights, which are closed to the tree should be removed. If light of the tree is necessary, it should be done from a distance with low intensity bulbs, preferably focusing from ground fixtures.

12.  The entrapped cement wall piece by the roots of other pipal tree should be carefully removed without damaging the roots.

13.  Wrapping of trees with cloths should be avoided.

14.  Burning of oil lamps and incense sticks should not be allowed to avoid injury to the roots and stem of the trees.

15.  The wooden support and frame around one of the bells ( 2550 kg ) has started showing weathering and decay and needs preservative treatment to be provided by FRI, Dehradun.

Future Course of Action

A memorandum of understanding would be drawn out between the Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee, Bodhgaya and Forest Research Institute, Dehradun for future management and upkeep of the Bodhivriksha in particular and other trees in the campus in general, besides beautification of the campus with suitable plant species. A suitable consultancy project would be developed by Forest Research Institute, Dehradun for this purpose.

WASHINGTON POST REPORT

SCANDAL GNAWS AT BUDDHA’S HOLY TREE IN INDIA

By Simon Denver, Reuters, February 3, 2008

DEATH THREATS

Its central stupa rising 187 feet above the ground where Siddhartha Gautama is said to have become the “Awakened One,” the temple is thought to have been built 1,500 years ago and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. Inside, in front of a giant golden statue of Buddha, pilgrims from Japan, Sri Lanka, China, Thailand and the West kneel and chant. Outside, others collect fallen leaves from the giant tree and others growing in the temple courtyard.

Clad in white robes, the barefoot and bearded Brahmachari excitedly points out the spot where the branch was chopped off, as well as empty niches around the temple grounds where he says statuettes of Buddha stood until recently.

“They sent the branch to Thailand, and sold it for 6 crore (60 million) rupees ($1.5 million),” he said, adding he had been beaten up twice and had received several death threats since starting his campaign.

The government, he said, was simply not interested. “Nobody is listening. I am fed up of writing letters.” But he is not alone in his anger, joined by Buddhist priests running many of the other temples and monasteries which have sprung up in Bodh Gaya.

Although its accounts are audited, the priests complain the temple does nothing to support local schools and hospitals, despite having a substantial income. “Money is coming in, but where the money is going nobody knows,” said Bhante Pragyadeep, treasurer of the Buddhist Monks Association of India.

District magistrate Jitendra Srivastava has been running the temple committee since the scandal surfaced and the last committee’s term expired. “All secretaries have been embroiled in controversy,” he said. “It is very unfortunate.” Significant amounts of money had been spent “beautifying the temple and giving it world-class facilities,” he said, and no allegations of corruption had surfaced since he took over.

While the charge of cutting a branch was now sub judice, allegations of deeper wrongdoing had not been substantiated. “A lot of people say this but I have no credible evidence. It remains to be seen if these people have taken this money.” Meanwhile, many Buddhist priests say they, and not Hindus, should be running one of the holiest sites in their religion.

But magistrate Srivastava said that would be no guarantee of honesty in the future. “A thief can be a Hindu or a Buddhist,” he said. “A thief is a thief, he has no religion.”

Ole Nydal	Diamond Way Buddhism	Influential western teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, whose sexual behavior and opinions are frowned upon by quite a few Buddhists as ‘politically incorrect’ or worse as can be seen at the Wikipedia article about him. Even the Shamarpa criticised him on this webpage ‘comment by the Shamarpa’ on his official website, but apparently that article was removed after threats of Mr. Nydahl to libel the Shamarpa; if this is how someone deasl with his own teacher…

Geshe Michael Roach		His qualifications as teacher are not questioned, no reports of sexual abuse, but he does make outrageous claims of realizations – not very Buddhist. He also claims to be a monk, but has sexual relations; a contradiction in terms. See e.g. http://www.diamond-cutter.org

WOW !!! TRUTH ON CLICK !!!!!! ……

Dear Readers,

Click on the Photos to see the truth in bigger size. Look at the Buddha’s face carefully and how the eyes changed time to time and what are the things added in the face and inner decoration when ever a donor donated huge money to BTMC.

Read the BTMC act ( Rules No.10 sub rules No. (2) to prevent the discretion of the temple or any part thereof or of any image therein  and Rule No. 13. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act or in the rules made thereunder, the Committee shall have no jurisdiction over the movable or immovable property of the Saivite Monastery of Bodh Gaya. and also read rule no. 14 ) to find out by yourselves that who gave permission to BTMC to alter the out look of the heritage. Under no provision of BTMC act OR in the constitution of Indian an autonomous body has authority to change the heritage. They are only entrusted to maintain the place as it is. And if they want to change any thing what so ever way then they need permission from the state government OR from the president of India or by court order. On the basis of moral and ethical ground even the court and president can not give permission to change a heritage. As per constitution of India the heritage autonomous body of the state or central only responsible to maintain the place as it is when the place handed over to the autonomous body.  Now dear visitor click on the photos and see the drama of BTMC and see the game of under table that money power which is happening since long time in BTMC.  See also the post ” Loosing Glory ” where some more evidence are there ….

Subject : Why till today theHolyMahabodhiTemplenot yet declare as a national monument ??

Dear Chairman Shahiba Jee,

It is a great shame for Bihar thatMahabodhiTempleis not a National Monument. Last 3 years I am taking up that issue with BTMC even by RTI but your great BTMC not answering it. Look at the file dear madam jee. What a joke of the century that a World Heritage Site isnotNational Monument( Mera Desh Mahan ). It is possible only isBihar. The cause behind is political which is to give accommodation to 3 political members who have no base in the public life but working of the party for long time and for that reason they have to accommodate in some places and BTMC is the right place for such baseless party workers. What a joke dear madam jee when a member’s duty is only to come at the time of meeting and they have no power what so ever as per 1949 BTMC act. To-days political members are acting such a manner that they are in some high position.

TheBodhgayaTempleis the place of corruption since last 60 years except few years when Gayan Jagat gee was here and the great honest man from district administration was secretary of BTMC. You can see his photo at BTMC office. These corrupt members will never allowed the temple to be national monument because if they do then these members have no place to sit and earn under table the way your great kalicharan Singh Yadav and Arbind Singh is playing now in the temple. Look at the report of State intelligence, Central Intelligence report, SI Jamil Akhtar report about the Organizing Puja at 2008. Dear Madan Jee if you have a drop of honesty in your life book then investigate about it or called up DM Sanjoy Singh.

Dear Madam ji Jhasi ki Rani Bano that is why lord chosen you as an IAS but do you think you are doing your job ?? Running away from the truth is very easy but facing the truth is a real bravery. I do hope that you will take immediate action with theDelhito make it as a national monument. Your all other members are same since last 4 years but they only knows to make bills at sujata hotel, taking photos with the high dignitaries whom they can not meet in 14 life times, and backdoor income. Do Monk Suresh Shesai Ji come for the meeting ?? He is a self respect man. Therefore like a self respect forBiharplease you take hard action this time to make it happened as a national monument.

Thanking you,

Subject : Look at the media news from “ Probhat Khabar ” about your administrative condition now what you are going to say ??

Dear respected chairman shahiba jee,

What is your opinion after the article publish in the news paper “ Prabhat Khabar ” dated 2/02/2012 at page no. 5 ?? It is clear evidence that your administration is like “kumbhkarno” from Holy Ramayana who eats once and sleep for 6 months. Where is your photo season members the political people now ??  When you have your own security and staff which is above 80 numbers as well as private security, CC Tv and in the bank you have 200 million rupees then how all this activity is going on like Holy Temple became Temple of shoes every year from December to February and you have a notice board of rupees 100. This is not just 1^st time happening but uncountable times and just for an example I am giving you data. Could you please tell me for what reason you are using temple car if you are not able to take care of the temple ??

Dear chairman shahiba jee could you please tell me how from stupa the idols are vanished ?? The DM Rajbala Verma made a file with the help of archaeological survey of India, Patnadivision but your BTMC not giving the photos to me as well as the archaeological survey of India, patnadivision. The Drama is such that all the photos are kept in the museum at bodhgaya and if investigation started from that photo album then the entire previous secretary will go to jail mainly the great mafia Mr.Kalicharan Singh Yadav from RJD. Not only that most of the idols are taken out from the temple which is far top and replace by fake same idols which made atGaya. Do you want me to give you in writings in the court paper ? TheBihar government, BTMC, Archaeological Survey of India, Patna Division have no guts to accept my written challenge since 2008. Madan jee Mr. Sanjoy Singh the ex chairman of BTMC never dares to accept my challenge and even the Home Secretary of Indian too. Read all letters from the BTMC file.

I am giving copy of this letter to UNESCO atDelhiand keeping official copy with my Supreme Court lawyer for further use.

Thanking you, God bless you.

Subject : Look at the Stupa

Dear Chairman Shahiba,

Please look at the evidence and then tell me are you not contempt of court ?? Look at the TOUR REPORT DATED 5.06.2008 and the photo no. 4. Please tell me when you are going to remove the present golden colour metallic railing ?? Please look at Photo No. 0013 from where you can see the golden colour metallic railing.

And now you look at the statement your affidavit in the hon’ble high court ofpatna. Look at photo no. 001, 002, 003.

Look what they said under RTI act to me. 4-5 thousand monks are shouting mantra and they are tell vibration is the subject of study !!! ??? and then in the report expert and scientist are telling regulate the visitor !!! ??? I don’t understand what kind of scientist they once they are talking about REGULATE VISITOR and then telling Vibration is not the subject of study !!! Then what for they are appointed if the don’t study every chapter to protect the holy mahabodhi tree. And tell me this year 2012 what are the step you have taken at the time of organizing pujas by different organization ?? Look at the statement of the scientist in the hon’ble high court and as per available evidence you did nothing to protect the open two spaces infront of Mahabodhi Tree where devotees did pujas.

Dear Madam the Bihar Govt. played a big game with me and I was helpless because you all higher the big giant about this case and my lawyer was junior simple practitioner in thepatnahigh court. I know well how the govt. play game to save the face. When a judge said “ Show your evidence to district magistrate” then my question is the then acting chief justice is why I am in the court if the district magistrate ofgayalisten to me plea ?? Dear madam ji now you will see what is called supreme court.

I am looking for your positive answer if you are brave enough.

Subject : Bodhi Tree , Stupas, New Toilet at Goal Ghar new market, Beggars

Chairman Shahiba Ji,

Please look at all the news paper cut off and the Photos of today infront ofMahabodhiTemple. Do you think any ways and means there is any short of discipline in BTMC ??  Read IPC 192, 193, 288, 406, 415, 417 and you are doing it with a Foreigner. His is being cheated by BTMC 3 times. General Suthum loves Buddha and he is behind all donations to BTMC to serve the people but you are all cheating this good innocent man. Think for a moment that even after cheating he is coming to you every time !!! Just imagine Bhante Bodhi Pal Cheated 30, 000 dollars, then again he cheated when the back side public toilet construction was going on and again 2012 he is being cheated. Just think for a moment Chairman Shahiba Ji how with out tender some one can construct any thing when the area is control by public property authority ?? Under which law of constitution you did it when you are in public property ?? Do you and your members thinks that this is your personall property ?? How DCA can work in your area without your permission ?? Without tender how you can allowed DCA to work ?? How you allowed your member Arbind Singh to construct the toilet ?? When you saw all the materials then how many times you issued letters to DCA ?? Mr. Lertruth is just a helping man of General Suthum and he can’t work in Indian with out the permission of any Indian authority same way DCA too. This Mr. Lertruth is dishearten by the acts of Indian.

What is the condition of Stupas ?? What is the condition of Holy Bodhi Tree ?? How you disobey the expert committee report and the scientist report ?? Even you gave affidavit in the court that railing has been taken out then how still the railing is there ?? Read tour report 5-6 May 2008. Read the affidavit of F.R.I in the hon’ble patnahigh court and then you see what was the condition at the time of yearly puja by different organization from Oct. to March. Look at the media report about it. I know I am talking to a deaf and dump but as a monk my duty is to knock your door every time like the way we eat daily food.

Look at the photos of beggars and tell me why BTMC allowed such “ DANA” ?? Look at the Korean Btv man how he is shooting !! If it is Dana then why photography ?? They show our things there and then these types of monks like our Bodhgaya NGO’s gather huge money in the name of poor people. Look carefully how media persons are also present and taking photos. What the social security dept ofgayais doing ?? When the law is there then why your officer is sitting ingaya?? What the police dept is doing ?? It is not one day matter but every year it is happening and all your officers are sleeping. Can I expect from you that now you will weak up from your Deaf and Dump condition ??

The Chairman Of Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee

Post – Bodhgaya, Dist –Gaya,Bihar-824231.

Subject : What happened about the goal ghar market place toilet ??

Chairman Shahiba Ji,

My simple question to you that are you a daughter of “ Dhitorast ” ( the great character from Mahabharat ) ?? If you say no then the question is why not there is any action regarding the goal ghar market place toilet corruption ?? After all it is a matter of 60 lakhs rupees as per General Suthum wife from thai land. And you also don’t worry being a daughter of “ Dhitorast ”  because heregaya media, social worker, officers all are in same line.

My simple question is how much money you got from under the table by Arbind Singh who is your member in the Temple Management Committee. There is no tender when the area is control by you !!! Over all you are the soul authority of the gayadistrict and no law in the constitution can stop you to probe the scam. Don’t you have any civil engineer in Govt. Office to estimate the cost of the goal ghar toilet making ?? Or you can not read letters because you are a daughter of “ Dhitorast ” ?? Then the question is how you became district magistrate if you are a daughter of “ Dhitorast ” ?? If an area is controlled by the Govt. or by any Committee which is appointed by the Govt. then they have to follow the law of constitution and as per constitution you have to make tender if any works carried out by the authority. So where is tender ?? Who is looking the work on be half of bodhgaya temple management committee at goal ghar toilet making ?? More over you are not replying my letters as a chairman of BTMC as well as district magistrate.

Therefore it is proved that you are a “ THIEF ” and I am telling it writing. If you are an IAS then keep in mind I am an IIT both starts with “ I ”. If I go to court then some IAS will give report to court that “ DM of Gaya is merely a chairman with out doing day to day work …. ” when DM is the soul authority of Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee as per 1949 act. DM shahiba  Ghandhi Ji ko mar ke aap jaisa ghotala baz log desh ko bech dala. You the kind of IAS who are the child of “ Dhitorast ” ruined my country ( look at the attached photo ) and you are supported by the DARU ( Wine ), MURGA ( Chicken ) party who has pen in their hand whom known as mirror of the society. Your backbone is so weak that you run away from Pachatti at the time of Kala-Chakra Puja and never dare to face a fatichar “ Swami ” ( as your administration whisper ).

What to say and to whom all are part of one coin !!! DARU, MURGA ZInda baad … Ghotala Baz Zinda Baad.

Subject : Please transparent your activity

Dear Sir,

Are you agree that an honest man is always honest in any circumstances ?? Do you think you are honest man ?? Yes the hindus was corrupt in past and present too as per my information but you tell me what you are then ?? Are you not part of corruption ?? Supporting the corruption is also corruption. From 2009 I am telling you that you can’t handle these stupid members until you are strong. This isBiharand here people only understand hard word with hard action. Corruption after corruption is going on. How many times Mr. Lertruth Ji cheated ? In your time two times and think after cheated 3 times at a row still he is coming with money. The money may be giving by General Suthum in different way but he is the real source. What your master & spiritual master taught you dear secretary Dorje Ji ?? It is sure that he taught you to do drama otherwise why you are doing drama every time ??

1. If any one asking under RTI then you are playing game ?? Look at the Maharastrian  Bhante.
2. Look what you did with me at 2007
3. Look what you did at the time of Diexy issue ( permission to collect money )
4. Look at your statement for misusing cars by members and staff but you can not give little more money to poor staff when you have so much money but the members are giving random bills from Sujata Hotel ( look at the bill of Sujata Hotel on 29-03-2012 ).
5. Look how you are spending money for the Guest when they are not helping any ways and meansMahabodhiTemple.
6. See when so many NGO’s are doing work in Bodhgaya then what is the reason to go to bakroar village on 29-03-2012 to distribute medicine ?? When you have car you can go to deep towards east or west or south or north where people need help but not at bakroar.
7. See how you are killing the holy bodhi tree by not taking care of it ( not taking out white marbles, grill golden colour ( Even in your affidavit in patna high court you said that you took out golden grill and tiles but still today it is there and I know what was the game at patna high court and how Chief Justice over ruled my plea then I send all evidence to chief justice of Indian and I got his reply but no little money to file the case and now what you will do ), open place compaction, heavy lights )
8. 14 lakhs rupees in the donation box diluted by licking water inside of it and you hide that from every one.
9. Look at your contract with Security Company Cobra
10. Look at toilet making issue with DCA 2012 and public toilet making beside pond.
11. Look how Arbind Singh took his wife with the team at Srilanka and the bill ???
12. Look how you take backdoor help from FRI to make pujas under the holy tree.

I am not talking about rationing bills, tea bills, purchasing. Dear Dorje ji some where you have to answer then what you are going to answer ?? Supporting the corruption OR overlooking the corruption is same guilty as a convict in the court. This time I am not same Arup Bramhachari as I was 2007.

Think if you blood is honest or please go out from BTMC. I am telling honestly.

God prevail brain In you.

Dear Sir,

Look at the changes in theMahabodhiTempleat Bodhgaya. The minority commission ofIndiareceiving complains with evidence from Bhante Satyanand Agarwal and Arup Bramhachari ( Swami Ji ) regarding corruption in the Buddhist world at Bodhgaya. Arup Bramhachari repeating his complains again and again with the Archeological Survey of India. Now the question is what must be the next step ?? Both the national organization is not doing any thing till now regarding the issue. FIR filed but DIG of Magadh Division is silent !!  What Mr. N. Dorje is doing with you ?? Managing the corruption issue with you ?? Even the IAS’s are so coward that they have no guts to answer under RTI because Buddho Purnima is coming and if the maharastrian buddhist see all the corruption of Mahabodhi Temple then they will tear the BTMC. Hotel bills of 3 Hindu members are around 13 lakhs !!! Even they played a game with Bhante Satyanand when he asked questions under RTI. Even I am repeatedly writing to Magadh Commissioner, DIG Magadh Division who are the members of the advisory committee ofMahabodhiTempleat Bodhgaya about corruption but all are silent !!! Chief Secretary ofBihar, Home Secretary of Bihar, Tourism minister and secretary also received complains but the result is ZERO ?? So get ready to answer at Sup. Court.

Subject : What is the reason for not taking any action against BTMC corruption ??

Dear respected sir,

1. Many times I wrote to you regarding the latest corruption of Mahabodhi Temple management corruption about making new toilet at Goal Ghar Market area ( Mahabodhi Temple Complex Market / beside multimedia centre ). Being a member of the advisory committee ofMahabodhiTempleit is your moral duty to stop corruption inMahabodhiTemple.
2. TheMahabodhiTemplemade a new toilet at Goal Ghar area ( Beside Multimedia Centre ) by a donor fromThailandMadam  Khoon Ratan Milinat. Who paid 60 lakhs rupees to DCA ofdelhi. Madam Milinut was not satisfied the material used in the toilet infront of media on dated 26-02-2012 at Bodhgaya.
3. The works supervised by the BTMC member Arbind Singh with DCA. Not only that the toilet plan did not approved by the Nagar Panchayat. Arbind Singh over ruled all norms by showing his power as politician.
4. Therefore an investigation must be carried out regarding this issue. Top to Bottom all concerning officers and members are involved in this regard. The district magistrate can not over look in this issue because she is the chairman of the committee and she and secretary of BTMC is not replying my letters.
5. Another corruption took place in the BTMC. How BTMC gave permission to a foreign organization “ The light of Buddhadhamma Foundation ” from Berkley, USA ( Madam Dixy and party ) to collect money from devotees around the world for repair work atHoliMahabodhiTemple. BTMC is not giving any data in this regard that how much money The light of Buddhadhamma Foundation fromBerkley,USA collected when it is a public property. From top to bottom of BTMC got enough under table that is the reason why they did not put FIR against BuddhaDhamma Foundation if they did not gave any short of permission. Not only that The Buddhadhamma Foundation not even gave any data of donation till 10-04-2012 at their web site. The district magistrate knows every aspect of it as a chairman but she is silent because she got under table.
6. It is your examination as an honest officer as well as citizen ofIndiathat how much you are an honest man. As I know that for an IPS very difficult to file a case of cheating against an IAS.

Thanking you,

F.I.R AND LEGAL NOTICE

F.I.R  AGAINST BODHGAYA TEMPLE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS

To                                                                           Date : 16-04-2012

The Officer In Charge

Bodh Gaya Police Station

Subject:- Prayer for institution of F.I.R. against the culprits named below:-

Name of the Culprits

1. Bandana Preyashi, Chairman of Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee,

2. Nangzey Dorjee, Secretary of Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee

3. Arbind Kumar Singh, Member of Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee

4. Kumud Verma, Member of Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee

5. Radhakrishna Mishra, Member of Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee

Sir,

With due respect I crave to urge as follows:-

That, the culprits are entrusted with dominion over many properties of theHolyMahabodhiTempleat Bodh Gaya in their capacity either as a public servants or attorneys or agents.

That, it has come to the knowledge of mine and many other persons that the above culprits have dishonestly misappropriated and converted to their own use the properties, so entrusted to them, in utter violation of the direction of the law prescribing the mode in which the said trust is to be discharged.

That, the culprits have forged various documents purporting to be receipts acknowledging the payments of money or receipts for getting delivery of any movable property and thereby the culprits have incessantly been embezzling the cash, movables assets and other properties of the temple for their own use.

That, the culprits, with intent to cause damage or injury to the assets of the Bodh Gaya Temple, have fraudulently and dishonestly cancelled, destroyed, defaced and secreted all the relevant documents that could have shown commission of crimes by the above culprits.

That, in every work, shown to be done in the Bodh Gaya Temple, the above factum of commission of crimes by the culprits can very easily be found out such as construction of toilet at Mahabodhi Shopping Complex with the help of DCA, Cobra Security agency deployment, giving illegal permission to The light of Buddhadhamma Foundation International, Berkley, USA to collect money from all over the world for renovations work at Mahabodhi Temple, so on and so forth. In the year 2007 Dr. K.P Ramaiya commissioner of Magadh Division wrote in his report to Gaya CJM court that a high powered committee must investigate theMahabodhiTemplefinancial corruption and his member’s property.

That, hence, the culprits have committed crimes punishable under Sections 406, 409, 467, 477 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.

I pray to lodge an FIR against the culprits and to investigate the matter to surface the truth.

Thanking You,

Very truly yours
