 INTRO

             In this multi subjective era, I feel greatly honoured by an invitation to present this paper , as in the field of academics, an artist like me is rarely invited. I hope these kind of  interconnect-ivitees  among academic; semi academic & non academic thought flows enrich each other's networking capacity of knowledge.

             I am presenting this paper as semi academic Shiv which manifests itself in many manifestations (avtars)  such as senser, perceptor, observer, witness(sakshi) and  positioned as sanyasi-copy writer-director-poet-novelist- Bollywood film consultant to newcomers in context of contemporary scenario.

              My childhood as a villager in Nageshi Bandiwade and  kasbewala as a kolhapuri fellow who didn’t understand English language till 10^th standard always kept me away from the direct influence of euro-centericism & my upbringing in Indian darshanic dhara nurtured me as an Indian for whom Europe was a mere geographical continent in globe. I realised the influence of EUROPEAN paradigm rather late in life. I am clearing this factual side first because I feel that my position might have some ruptures & discontinuties in my understanding about Europe.

          I think that now it's time to treat THE EUROPE  as Europe rather than Rulers. Their historical position-play is too much overemphasized by our post colonial thinkers which has polluted our knowledge-environment so rootedly that our fruit of knowledge is genetically handicapped rather seedi-capped by EUROPEAN think tank. I am not swadeshivadi like Mahatma Gandhi but I feel that our accomodational powerhouse must have space for Indian breathing to keep vitality redbloodcellic in this virtual hyper reality. This emphasis on space for Indian breathing is naturally bound to transform the priority of Indian paradigms over EUROPEAN paradigms making the remapping of alternative discourse possible. It is observable to look at EUROPEAN subject & how it malfunctions  in  identification of Indian identity. Let me narrate a real life incident.

          “This was in 2003! I was spreading the rawrice to dewater it in my house-yard. Suddenly a British couple stopped their car in front of my house to buy the cigarette. While he was purchasing, a woman in car unintentionally looked at me. I was in musical mood like an Indian farmer and singing the song while working

     “My heart goes shakalaka in the Morning ……… …

      My Heart goes shakalaka in the sunshine”

I was dressed in typical  Bombay style i e the Bermuda pant and baniyan. She was completely surprised by this scenario.

“ The Indian farmer with English song working on rice crop”

She exclaimed, “Ohh God! Look ….What globalisation has done to Indian farmer! No! No!...”

She meant that a farmer in the Goan Village is doing his job & yet singing English song. Naturally she didn’t know that I work in bollywood .

          Here she was interpreting my textuality through the EUROPEAN paradigm. An English textual representation in ‘song’  as a metaphor of globalisation & my ‘Working’ as a metaphor of Indian farmer. She couldn’t read an empty rupture which was hiddenly chaired in my cosmopolitan identity as it was not present in front of her textual networking.  Her outsiderness supplemented her real perspective with misleading conclusion & she missed the bus of main text unintentionally.

          So, point is , instead of watching India through EUROPEAN paradigm I think it's better to interpret EUROPEAN & Indian paradigms through Indian  darshan-line for which I am using Indian terminology in this discourse as I believe that it will work as a correct conceptual tool to express Indian ethos.

                  

                                LINEAGE

         In INDIA every darshnik has to give his own darshan-lineage first.

          I am official pujari of RAWALHNATH TEMPLE in NAGESHI-BANDIWDE and naturally well connected to this lineage.I was official SHAIV GURU by birth but I abondoned this post for my spiritual sadhna. My lineage begins from BHAGWAN SHIV. Here I am giving it as it's given to me by my grandfather Vasudev Naik.

WHY SHOULD WE DISCUSS SHAIV DHAMM?

               Somebody can ask question why I am doing this pastnetal historical nonsense here? Who care about your  lineage ? But dear,  paradigm play starts from this nonsense. We bollywood people always do our first NAMAN to either NATRAJ OR GANRAJ and nobody feels any nonsense in it because pasting is in our genetical conditioning and on one or other level we all are related with SHAIV DHAMM.             

                 Why should we study SHAIV DHAMM AND IT'S 

DARSHANS.There are lots  of reasons behind it.

·       1 First it's the first intellectual discourse happened in INDIA whose evidences are available in all forms (SEALS TO VERNACULAR TEXTS) FLOWING from INDUS CIVILIZATION to CURRENT INDIAN CIVILIZATION.

·       2 It's still alive in INDIA and  80% INDIANS are following it in one or other form.

·       3 So called HINDU religion is derived from it.

·       4 I am born and brought up in this darshan in it.

·       5 It's the only darshan which has continuity of 10000 - 7000 years

Continuity of Indian Culture is the continuity of Shaiv Darshan or SHAIV DHAMM

·       6 It's the only darshan which is open to all Varnas, castes, tribes, religions, races, and areas. Naturally textualization is continue.

·       7 It's by birth feminist and shakti has equally  important part in creation of world. It's equally open to all women and women in this darshan from PARVTI to AKKMAHADEVI . It's the only darshan in world in which enlightened mukt is projected in form of ARDHNARINATESHWAR.

·       8 It's the only dhamma which has created four darshanas with various aspect

VAISHISHIK(spand to kan)

NYAY(samtol and equality through anthkaran)

SANKHYA(purush-prakruti 24 tatwas)

YOG(upay)

·       9 It's the only darshan in which whole family is involved i e SHANKAR-PARVATI-GANPATI-SKAND

·       10 Current INDIAN DIASPORA was initiated by this darshan through SAIBABA/SAINATH who attained MUKTI through yoga and KUNDLANI YOGA

·       11It's the only darshan which is open to untouchables also.

·       12 It's the only darshan which occure in most of the INDIAN ADIVASIS.It means it's SPREAD in MARGI,DESHI,POTI,AND JAMATI

·       13It's the only darshan whose first family executed family planning through SPIRITUAL CONTROL SANYAM. TWO SONS AND ONE DAUGHTER.

·       14 It's the only Indian Darshan which has healthy relationship with devas rakshas as well as asuras.

·       15 It's the only darshan in which NAGAS DRAVIDS AND ARYANS are well-assembled.

·       16 It's darshan by first enlightened person

·       17 Surprisingly it's the first darshan respected by MUSLIMS also who dance in  GANPATI festival. As it's open to all everybody is allowed and young generation of MUSLIMS is participating in it following SALMAN KHAN.  Many muslim spiritual seekers are ready to accept BHAGWAN SHIV as first prophet which is really rare scenario.

          I hope these reasons are enough for thoughtspandaning.
