bersih 3.0

Visitors to Kuala Lumpur in late April should be aware that the city is bracing itself for what could be one of the largest political demonstrations in its history. A massive sit-down protest is planned at Merdeka Square (Dataran Merdeka) on Saturday the 28th, from 14:00 to 16:00, to call for free and fair elections in Malaysia.

It is the third mass rally called by a coalition of NGOs known as Bersih ("clean" in Malay) over recent years, pushing for an end to an electoral system riddled with serious irregularities. Bersih has eight key demands: clean up the electoral roll; reform the postal ballot; use indelible ink for voters; a minimum 21-day campaign period; free and fair access to media; strengthen public institutions; stop corruption; and stop dirty politics.

The last mass protest, Bersih 2.0 in July 2011, saw a heavy-handed response from the authorities, with the police using baton charges, water cannons and tear gas. Dozens of people were injured, and about 1,600 arrested.

The last rally for Bersih 2.0 a few months back saw cinemas in affected city areas offering refunds to moviegoers who couldn't make it for their shows due to the road blocks.

The aim of Bersih 3.0 is to raise Malaysian citizens' awareness of issues involving the environment, religious rights, 1Care health insurance scheme and corruption to electoral reform and free education.

Aum

the life producing energies of the sun are the energies of Aum.Aum is the sun of body,mind,and spirit.the life giver of all.all plant,animal,and human life on this planet depend upon the sun.it is the subtle powers of sunlight,which stimulate growth and evolution.sunlight is the radiant form of Aum.the sun initiates the entire solar system into Aum.when a man departs from this body,he goes upwards by these very rays or he goes up with the thought of Aum.as his mind is failing,he goes to the sun.that,verily,is the gateway and point of entry of the world for the knowers,a shutting out for the non knowers.the solar rays do not just flow into this world,they also draw upward through the sun and beyond.in the human body the process of exhalation and inhalation is related to solar energy,and much of the solar power on which we subsist is drawn into the body through our breathing.the solar rays do not just strike the surface of our body,but actually penetrate into the physical nerves.just as the electrical impulse flow through the physical nerves,the subtle life force,or prana,flow through the subtle nadis and keeps us alive and functioning.the prana,then is a vehicle for the solar energies that produce evolution,and so we join Aum to our breathing and merge it into the pranic flow.this practice conditions our subtle levels so that at the time of death we will be oriented toward the solar powers and can ascend upon them especially if we continue our intonation of Aum even after the body has been dropped.those who have imbued themselves with the pranavic vibrations will enter through the solar gate,whereas those who have not done so will be shut out by it and compelled to return to earthly rebirth.
