Oppression of Jaisi Bahun

 With great wish in my heart to cure this society/and myself from useless and stupid uses of Caste system, I write against these hopeless practices. 

Who are Jaisi Bahun?

Codification of Jaisi Bahun can be found in Muluki Ain of JBR, I don't wish it to be called of Nepal. It is rather a collection of oppression tools. Aryas especially Khaas originated around Jumla triumph truth and Gods over anything else, but both rule and Muluki Ain of JBR was example of exception. 

That Ain provide that Jaisi are sons of Upadhyay but from second wife, or wife without fire rituals or the wife was widow of someone else both physical or symbolical, or the wife was from Jaisi origin itself. 

This definition is nothing but a tool to confuse everyone and legitimize nonsense propaganda they would later preach. "Jaisi vaneka xxx ka xora hun" is a common phrase. I am in no position to accept this, though this nonsense muluki Ain has now long been lost but its children are still operating here and there without knowing anything but carrying a severe stupidity of their forefather. 

The same code provide that Jaisi can't give Gayatri mantra to anyone but only to Jaisi. They were then forced to farming etc. as their origin made them impure for royal things and now their duties and way to sustain too has been forfeited. Various theories popularized by propaganda why Jaisi should not recite Vedas. However, the code seems to limit to Bratabandha and other Karmakanda rituals. 

Historically who were these Jaisi Bahun then? Yagyavalkya Smriti imagined two bahuns at working level, one is Upadhya who can accept gift except from Kings by performing rituals, they were neither Guru nor Acharyas but who have right/duties to perform Vedic Karmas. Another were Daivagyas as defined by Mitakshara as Jyotish who have right/duties to guide the Kingdom. It is my position that these Daivagyas aka Jyotish were Jaisi and they were never in practice of Rituals. Since, we know at the time of Late Great King Pritthivi Narayan Shah Dev, two Jaisi Bahun from Aryal and Dhakal family guided him to Nepal's Unification, which also provide material to that function of Jaisi. 

"Jaisi ko Jaal" is infamous saying, which I accept with whole heart. They are the strategist and gone through oppression of JBR but did not give up and survive the unjust JBR. These much humiliation and lack of survival, Jaisi guide their lives through farming, lost study of Vedas still carry the family tradition as much as they could have.

But as a proud Jaisi, would not have these oppression caused, I believe we would never be able to understand oppression against other caste especially those from working class. We would have never understood the value of labor.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Averaging practice in stock market and Liquidity problem in Banking

Investors in equity market (secondary) are quite familiar with averaging practice of prices. When a stock of higher cost was already purchased but the prices drop down, then purchasing stocks at lower prices (must be probable to gain some increment in those latest prices) will average the per unit cost and given increment in latest prices but lower than previous prices till make loss over previously purchased stock lesser loss making. Now, thinking the institutional capacity of banks and financial institutions and production and distribution capacity of national economy, given flood of remittance, there must be a lag in mobilization of funds through banks. Thereby keeping interest rate at lower side till national economy's capacity to produce and distribute gets increased. However, let's imagine a scenario where funds are ever demanded and loans are distributed at higher cost. Deposit rates are increased in the name of liquidity problem or liquidity premium is so high that retu...

Usha

I bow down to mother Vindhyabasini/Brindabasini/Bindubasini whose grace and affection alone uplift unbearable pain of this life/ignorance. Nobody but Guru Gorakhnath is my Guru but am not that fortunate to get knowledge from himself. Neither read anything written by him.  During the discussion with few wise men it suddenly occurred or reiterate the already obtained knowledge of unreal nature of thoughts. However, this just helped to connect Usha with Savitur and once again ignite enthusiasm to write meaning of Gayatri Mantra. First line is dedicated to three kind of Jagat or realities excluding Om (which is not a wise thing to do but Om itself contains 3 Jagat and one last supreme reality so it is waste to discuss other line after explaining Om). First one is almost 16 hours a day i.e. waking state where we gather all information and act upon them. Second is dream state which is in its concrete form is 8 hours a day, unknown processing of information gathered during waking state. 3...
