2. What Vedas say about Corruption?
Hobbes tells in his master piece book on philosophy "Leviathan" that his mother gave birth to Twins i.e. Hobbes and FEAR" and describes further in the "Leviathan" that due to this Fear complex man by nature is ungrateful, fickle, deceitful, cowardly and avaricious.
Since human nature of any material man by and large is same, some degree of corruption is throughout the world. However, India is perceived as one of the most corrupt countries. In the developed countries corruption is mostly at higher level and not at grass root level so the common man is not much affected by the same. In India it is at all levels affecting day to day life of the citizens in regard to civic and social amenities. In Singapore , Finland , Australia and a few other countries it is considered as deadly disease both in private and public sectors. Clearly Science of Good Governance can considerably reduce corruption.
In India it is mainly due to our dead, inflexible and redundant colonial systems of pre Independence days in regard to urban and rural administration supplemented by Indian brand of outdated Socialism cause of excessive centralization, corruption and criminalization in politics. Solution lies in attaining Swaraj (self rule), Freedom with accountability, transparency and complete decentralization/bottom up democracy based on science of good governance. Also we should implement without any further delay Amendments number 73 and 74 to the Constitution of India approved in 1992. Without any valid justification these have not been implemented in their entirety so far even after 17 years of their approval by Parliament.
We should have at levels i.e. Central government, State governments and Local governments Ethics Committees consisting of men/women of proved integrity from the public. Their findings on guide lines on ethics should be widely made public every week for their views and implementation
Incidentally Vedas are the supreme scriptures of followers of Sanatan Dharma and UNESCO has accorded Heritage Status to Rig Veda being useful for mankind. I give briefly what Vedas say on Corruption.
P.K.Sabhlok
(Let noble thoughts come to us from all sides" (Rig Veda)
"Rtam, Satyam, Dharmam," -Cosmic laws of social, moral and physical orders (Rtam) are eternal truths (Satyam) and following these Rta (cosmic laws) is Vedic Dharma (Rig Veda)
Dear Seekers of Vedic Knowledge and those who are keen to end corrupt practices in the world,
Subject: Corruption as described in Vedas
Recognizing its utility to mankind Rig Veda has been accorded the status of "Heritage" by UNESCO. Rig Veda contains a large number of hymns/riks on the causes of corruption and how to eliminate the same in any mosaic society of individuals following different professions. In the other three Holy Vedas also a few mantras/hymns relate to Corruption.
Sama Veda 179 and 913 describes Corruption as hydra headed, having nine heads (nine kinds) and it enters the human body through ninety nine sources i.e. nine kind of corruption enters through five senses, five sense organs and etani i.e. the outward looking mind (9X11==99). Later Ramayana described this evil through nine corrupt heads of Ravana. We burn his nine corrupt heads every year on Dussehra day. Similarly later Mahabharata described 99 sources of entry of corruption through 99 corrupt sons of blind Kaurva king Dhritrashtra.
99 vritras (powers of evil) are mentioned in Rig Veda 1-84-13. It further says in 1-104-3 taking bribe for money belonging to the state is misappropriation of public funds. All bribe takers are thieves of God and they get rebirth in the foulest of the womb (confirmed even in Bhagavad-Gita). R.V 3-34-6 and Yajur Veda 30-22, the corrupt people should not be allowed by the ruler to mix with people following chatvar varnasharam (four divine professions). Y.V 30-19 and R.V 5-61-8 mention that those persons who praise and justify are also corrupt persons, keep away from them. R.V 1-42-4 even mentions keep away from Gurus (preceptors) who take donations/charity.
Causes of Corruption
1. The corruption creeps in society when the matter is considered as inert and the members of society do not find any sin in treating the benign mother earth as a quarry. In Rig Vedas spirit of God is in the shuniya (cosmic void) of each sub atomic particle of atom- the building block of matter. Hence the matter has unsuspected vitality and its use on need based living is virtue and its excessive use is a sin. Corruption creeps in a society where economics (artha) is based on inert matter and the possession of wealth / any kind of matter having predominance of tamasic guna of stupor is considered as a matter of pride.
MAYA creates a Golden dazzling Disc for such individuals and hides the truth and Supreme Reality for them. Maya also creates the greatest miracle that we search for God every where when He resides in our hearts.
2. Rig Veda further says that purpose of human birth is to assist nirguna Brahma (ineffable and formless God) who is also Supreme Architect (Viswakarma) in the maintenance of His Grand wondrous Design. For the maintenance of this Design, He has created Rta- eternal cosmic laws of necessity and wants all human beings to follow the same. Having created these eternal laws of nature "He Himself" follows them sternly lest a great harm is done to the cosmic creation. Thus He and His Laws (Rta) are the same. When the individuals in any society starts ignoring these laws available to human beings through the Book of Nature (which even blind individuals can read), corruption creeps in society.
3. R.V 10-34-13 also says that any kind of gambling particularly the game of dice is also cause of corruption. The vehement effect of this evil of the game of dice was described in Mahabharata.
Corruption destroys all the noble attributes of human beings due to pursuit of only material knowledge bereft of spiritual and divine knowledge, which in Vedas is ignorance / nescience / ajnan. (R.V 1-129-6). Only harmonized divine, spiritual and material knowledge is true knowledge (Janan) in Vedas.
Start of Corruption
Rig Veda says when even one human being dies of starvation, it is a signal that corruption has crept in society and avarnas (followers of non divine professions) who want honour, power and wealth for themselves have started multiplying. In Kaliyuga (Dark Age) their number far exceeds the followers of divine professions (varnas). Ethics and community welfare becomes the greatest casualty. Rig Veda says the thieves of God (bribe givers / takers) who consider matter as inert become insensitive to hydra headed corruption and resort to ostentatious worship and donations / gift culture to gain social recognition. Most of them drift from darkness to utter darkness through meditation (Isa Upanishad and Yajur Veda). The various virtuous concepts like iddm nan mmam –nothing for self all for society akin to enlightened liberalism of Aristotle, moderation of Vedas/middle path of Buddha and the noble concept of illusion of comfort in the vast turbulent sea of matter (Vedic Phantasmagoria-Cosmic delusion MAYA) are no longer considered as virtue in the materialistic corrupt society dominated by non divine avarna, vritras, kimidin etc.
In India this evil of corruption is now becoming "Leviathan" and giant demon and is spreading like wild fire. The guide lines given by the wise metaphysicists (rsis of yore) and wandering sages (munnies of the Vedic period) can help in arresting this nefarious and extremely dangerous drift. Kautaliya in his socio-political treatise "Arthashastra" (partly based on Vedic metaphysics) clearly says the evil of corruption spreads faster when the state gives lip sympathy to curb corruption and promote honesty.

P.S
1. Kindly render divine social duty and forward this Vedic description of Corruption to other seekers of Vedic knowledge.
2. Incidentally this article has been published as slightly abridged in "The Pioneer" dated 23-8-08
3. Revival of Vedas (Shruti –directly revealed by God) can strengthen Sanatan Dharma (eternal religion)
4. Why Shruti? Atharav Veda explains it clearly.
5. There is an urgent need to translate Vedas in all local languages for the followers to understand their teachings and guide lines.
6. About elimination of Corruption and Science of Good governance/Administrative Reforms, please read e-book at no cost by an Ex I.A.S officer on website

Subject: [Bulk] {UnitedHinduFront} How the autocracy of Antonia Maino alias Sonia Gandhi operates?
Jai Hind,
I believe Democracy in Bharat is just for a name sake. The fact is below
These days Governors are elected by Antonia Maino alias Sonia Gandhi. Governors are not elected by people. Yet they appoint and terminate Chief Ministers, Ministers
and MLAs and even the whole Governments elected by people. That is fraud in the garb of Democracy! The Governors serve, these days, on the pleasure of Antonia
Maino alias Sonia Gandhi. Sonia has divine command to slay those, who do not accept Jesus their king. This right is sponsored by the Indian Constitution. Sonia is attaining her
mission through these hired Governors. Governors are armed with some draconian laws of the land. Among those laws, three have made human life hell viz. Sections 196, 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code and Section 80 of the Civil Procedure Code. Vide Section 196 of the Criminal Procedure Code Governors insure that no action could be taken against Muslims and Christians, who burn the Indian Constitution and national flag, commit genocide, usurp lands and properties of citizens, rape women and demand vivisection of Bharat. However, no sooner citizen protests against Bible and Koran or the dreaded predator and pirate Indian Constitution, Governors
immediately slap sanction under very section 196 of the Criminal Procedure Code. No judge of the so-called independent judiciary can initiate prosecution against criminal Christians and Muslims without sanction under section 196 of the Criminal Procedure Code, Judges extort 'BHENT', Police books innocents in false cases and revenue officers interpolate revenue records yet Governors do not sanction prosecution against any erring public servant under section 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code as long as the public servant shares the booty with Governors.
Democracy is for name sake in India. There is complete autocracy of Antonia Maino alias Sonia Gandhi in India. Governors are being chosen today by Antonia Maino alias
Sonia Gandhi. They cannot speak a single word of their own.
However, Jesus, who snatches manhood from his followers to reduce man into sheep, whose father Jehovah commands Christians to dash infants to pieces, rape women of non Christians before the eyes of the men of victim women, (Bible, Isaiah 13:16) commands Christians to slay those, who do not accept Jesus their king, (Bible, Luke 19:27), who came on the earth to bring fire (Bible, Luke 12:49) and sword (Bible, Matt 10:34) and who came on the earth to divide every Christian family (Bible, Matt 10:35) and (Bible, Luke
12:51-53), is kind and peace loving God. Similarly, Allah, who slays (Koran 8:17), supports incest (Koran 33:37-38), owns and distributes booty (Koran, 8:1, 69 and 41) and
condones rape of women (Koran 23:6) is merciful god.
"This makes me very sad. I wish that I could believe that Islam can be reformed and that Muslims could be convinced to stop imitating the jihadist Mohammed, obeying the Medinan Koran and killing kafirs. Look at the results. Mao was responsible for the deaths of 77,000,000 people, Stalin killed about 62,000,000 and Hitler was responsible for the deaths of 21,000,000. And for the last 1400 years those who imitate Mohammed and follow the Koran of Medina, have killed over 2,700,000,000 kafirs. If you could bring about a reform that would negate this effect, you and your work would be the greatest blessing to humanity in written history." Warner: During symposium.

Games official complains: Firm managing sponsorships is getting the cuts, not the deals
The top revenue official of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC) has prepared a note saying that a foreign company contracted to bring in sponsors for the Games has achieved "practically nil" results.
With less than six months to go for the Games, the OC has only six sponsors, with just over a quarter of the Rs 1,200 crore sponsorship target met.
Four of these sponsors, making up the bulk of the total sponsorship value so far, are public sector organisations.
Hero Honda and Coca-Cola are the two private sponsors who have come on board so far with commitments of Rs 38 crore and Rs 15.7 crore respectively. PSUs NTPC, Air India and Central Bank have committed Rs 50 crore, Rs 50 crore and Rs 51 crore respectively.
SMAM will get a commission for all these deals. The only sponsorship it will not get a commission for is by the Indian Railways, which, at Rs 100 crore, is the lead partner for the Games, and whose sponsorship was part of the Budget announcement.
However, the company managing the sponsorships, the Singapore-registered Sports Marketing and Management (SMAM) gets a commission of between 15% and 22.5% on all sponsorship deals, including those struck with Indian public sector undertakings.
"SMAM's contribution in major deals signed so far has been practically nil, even though they are entitled to the same commission from these deals as they are from deals which are negotiated by them," wrote V K Saksena, Additional Director-General, Revenue, in a note prepared on February 12.
Saksena is an IAS officer on deputation with the OC. The note, a copy of which is with The Indian Express, was written after Saksena discussed the matter with OC Treasurer Anil Khanna. Khanna, who heads the R K Khanna Tennis Academy, joined the OC after the previous treasurer, A K Mattoo, quit in the wake of the crisis in Indian hockey in January.
Saksena sent the note to SMAM on February 20, asking for a review of their performance. March 17 was fixed as the date for the review, but the meeting was cancelled. SMAM has earlier managed sponsorships for the Melbourne (2006) and Manchester (2002) Commonwealth Games, and works for the British Olympic Association.
OC chief Suresh Kalmadi said, "When you are tying up with a PSU, our effort is about one-third. They will not give us a sponsorship based merely on our clout until SMAM gives them a detailed presentation and then follows it up."
The agreement between SMAM and the OC was signed on July 25, 2007, making the company the "sole and exclusive negotiator and procurer of sponsonsorship for licensing contracts".
In his note, Saksena said, "SMAM claims to have brought 150 companies so far, but hardly any of these have joined the OC as sponsor." SMAM was unable to find any sponsors for the international leg of the Queen's Baton Relay.
Despite repeated attempts, no official from SMAM could not be contacted. The company's India representative Susan Hunt was not available, and calls to Mike Bushell, who heads the firm, at its office in New South Wales, went unanswered.
Kalmadi said that he was "satisfied" with SMAM, and sponsors would come "very soon".
"We will be getting more sponsors on board very soon. It has been seen worldwide that in the last six months in the run-up to the event, sponsors start pouring in. We are satisfied with the working of SMAM and will achieve the sponsorship targets," Kalmadi told The Indian Express.
The OC is currently negotiating with Maruti Suzuki, Samsung, Tata, Arcelor Mittal and several other firms.
