Shadow of the Chair, Not your Height

Illusion of Political Power

There is haunting universal code embedded in DNA of Indian power which always plays out same way on election night when leaders lose or transition power to another person. One day you see leader like Siddaramaiah walking echoing massive corridors of Vidhana Soudha entirely alone without single bureaucrat or sycophant giving second look. You watch Mamata Banerjee, once undisputed queen of Bengal street politics, visiting lanes of Kalighat only to pass by crowd that suddenly looks right through her unacknowledged. You see it when mighty engines of state machinery grind to halt around leaders like Stalin or Kejriwal. Harsh reality of power is that room is packed only as long as you hold pen that signs orders. Moment designation is gone durbar vanishes overnight. You go from crowded room to quiet hallway in heartbeat because nothing is permanent, least of all power. Crowd never belonged to person, it belonged entirely to chair.

**Nothing is permanent, least of all power.**

Corporate Echo

Nowhere does this truth resonate more brutally than in mirrored glass towers of corporate India. Air in corner office of Zenith India Corp always smelled of expensive sandalwood and fresh pressed ambition. For over decade Raghavendra Raghu Rao was sun around which entire company orbited. When Raghu walked corridors of corporate headquarters in Mumbai it was less stroll and more royal procession. VPs would suddenly find urgent reasons to step into hallway just to catch his eye. Executive assistants held elevators. Cafeteria would go quiet if he decided to grace it and his LinkedIn posts racked up hundreds of insightful and inspiring comments within minutes. Raghu did not just hold power, he was intoxicated by it. He genuinely believed deferential smiles and late night WhatsApp messages wishing him happy weekend chief were testament to his personal brilliance.

Change of Guard

Then came restructuring. New York based private equity firm bought controlling stake and just like that Raghu was handed golden parachute and polite exit. His last day was Friday. Transition was not slow fade, it was cliff. On Monday Raghu realized he had forgotten personal hard drive in his old cabin. He decided to drop by figuring he would say few proper goodbyes anyway. As he walked through glass doors of Zenith Corp security guard, man Raghu had personally helped with medical advance year ago, nodded mechanically treating him like any other visitor, asking him to sign register and issuing visitor badge. Raghu swallowed hard, realising he was just visitor.

Corridor of Ghosts

Walking down main corridor felt like stepping into alternate reality. He saw Vikram, his former deputy who just three days ago would laugh uproariously at weakest jokes. Vikram was rushing toward conference room with iPad in hand, looked up for split second then looked right through him adjusting tie and picking up pace without stopping or asking how he was holding up. Further down group of management trainees he had personally mentored were chatting by water cooler. As Raghu approached conversation did not stop and they did not part like Red Sea to let him through, forcing him to awkwardly step aside to avoid bumping into them. It was eerie corporate echo of raw political visuals seen on television like former Chief Minister walking massive echoing corridors of Vidhana Soudha entirely alone after election defeat without single bureaucrat giving second look, or Mamata Banerjee or Kejriwal experiencing sudden icy shift when political winds turn and durbar vanishes overnight. Raghu was walking his own quiet hallway. Packed rooms, frantic nods, desperate attempts to catch his eye were all gone. Crowd did not belong to Raghu, it belonged to chair.

Lesson of the Chair

Sitting across from Raghu at nearby South Indian café hour later his old mentor, old school HR veteran named Anand, sipped filter coffee and smiled gently after Raghu poured his heart out bitter and shaken by how quickly he had become non entity. Anand set brass tumbler down and told Raghu he made classic mistake of confusing shadow of chair for his own height. In corporate world as in politics power is leased property. Day lease expires keys are handed over and crowd moves to new tenant. If people respect you only because of designation on business card that respect has expiry date. Anand tapped his chest explaining it is always better to be loved for person you are not chair you occupy. If you build relationships on empathy, genuine mentorship, and character that stays with you when you walk out door. Chair gives authority but only humanity gives legacy. Raghu looked out window at bustling Mumbai traffic. Sting of corridor was still there but clarity was therapeutic. It was brutal lesson that would hold him in good stead for rest of his life. He was no longer corporate deity but for first time in ten years he was entirely himself.

Lasting Personal Legacy

That brutal truth of corporate world and political arenas of Vidhana Soudha or Kalighat is why I have always held specific memory close to my heart. It serves as my North Star reminding me of what truly matters when noise of titles and designations fades away. It happened on September 11 2016 which happened to be my birthday when my team at NEC had organized celebration. Late Dr Reguraj stood up to speak, looked at room then looked at me and delivered what remains greatest compliment I have ever received in my life. He said here is one person who does not get his value due to his chair, he brings value to chair he sits on, Principal loved by everyone from student to faculty to supporting staff.

Hearing those words from man of his stature on my birthday was defining moment. It crystallized very lesson that has held me in good stead throughout my career to never let title define your worth. Dictating terms from position of authority is easy but earning genuine love, respect, and loyalty from every tier of organization solely because of who you are as human being is only real achievement.

Chairs are reallocated and titles are stripped but value you carry within yourself and impact you leave on people around you can never be taken away.

Decoding the Regulatory Divide: Systemic Flaws and Global Benchmarks in India’s Skilling Ecosystem

June 6, 2026June 6, 2026EnsuresLeave a comment

By N Suresh
Possesses 38 years of professional experience across assorted industries and is a direct product of the Dual system of education, supplemented by Master’s degrees from the traditional University system. A close observer of Skill India’s advancements for the past 42 years, he has extensively tracked the European and Australian TVET sectors, drawing upon 15 years of direct personal experience in this space.

National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET) was operationalized by subsuming National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) and National Skill Development Agency (NSDA). This consolidation aimed to unify fragmented Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) architecture. While unified policy control has scaled up, structural deficiencies in monitoring Awarding Bodies (ABs) and Assessment Agencies (AAs) persist. Shifting from volume-driven compliance to outcome-based field execution remains a critical challenge.

Core Flaws in the NCVET Framework

Spatial Overreach and Paper Capacities

Regulatory frameworks grant pan-India jurisdictions to testing entities based on administrative volume. Agencies secure multi-state clearances by presenting databases of freelance Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), multilingual question banks, and registered proctors. This desktop licensing model assumes that mathematical scale translates into local execution capability. In practice, a massive database of freelance examiners does not guarantee logistical infrastructure, quality control, or industry connections required to deploy genuine assessments in remote or rural districts.

Numerical Volume Contradiction

A major structural loophole in the pan-India licensing model is the reliance on absolute numerical thresholds without geographical distribution mandates. For example, an agency can secure national jurisdiction status purely by demonstrating a volume metrics threshold, such as training & assessing 75,000 candidates within a single year. Though the current document June 2025 says “at-least five (05) States/ UTs representing at-least three(03) Regions of India (Clause 2.2.1 b (iii))” a cursory glance of the list of Dual Body indicates many who are a single state operations who qualified only because of the number trained and certified. Fundamentally such framework fails to account for where these training and assessments occur. An entity can train and evaluate the entire volume of 75,000 candidates within a single geography (state or region). Despite having zero operational footprint, zero infrastructure, and zero regional language capability in the remaining states or Union Territories, the entity receives a nationwide operational mandate.

This distortion creates severe operational challenges across the skilling value chain:

Clustering Illusion: Agencies naturally centralize operations in high-density urban clusters to minimize logistical costs, avoiding remote, hilly, or border regions while maintaining national certification status.
Sub-Contracting Vulnerabilities: When single-state operators win nationwide public procurement tenders, they frequently scramble to sub-contract ground execution to unverified local freelancers, weakening process monitoring.
Linguistic Disconnect: Achieving high volume metrics in one region does not ensure an agency possesses the linguistic literacy or contextual subject expertise required to evaluate candidates in culturally diverse states.

The current guideline treats organizational capacity as a product of physical geography rather than evaluating the institutional and digital scale of the applying entity. It also stifles cross-border mobility and locks out highly competent regional players. For example, a top-tier skilling institute based in Noida (Uttar Pradesh) that has successfully trained thousands of students cannot apply to be an AB in neighboring Delhi or Haryana unless they already have historical, recorded numbers inside those specific state borders. Also, if an organization applies for recognition in more than one state (but less than PAN India), the required prior experience (number of trainees/assessments) is a strict mathematical summation of the individual state requirements. The same applies to financial turnover requirements (Section 4.1.3.c).

Coming specifically to Guidelines for Diploma Qualifications (Gazette)

Batch Sizing Flaw: Rigid Capacity Caps

According to Section 8.7.1, the guidelines impose a strict mandate on how institutions can operate their batches:

Maximum Cap per Batch: The instructional area is limited to a batch size of a maximum of 30 students per batch.
Single Batch Restriction: By default, an institution is eligible for only one batch per Diploma or Diploma (Advanced) Qualification.

Key Operational Consequences

This rigid structure introduces three major flaws into the training ecosystem:

Severe Scale Limitations: Capping a program at a single batch of 30 students severely restricts a well-equipped, highly reputed institution from scaling up its successful vocational programs to meet market demand.
Disincentivizes Growth: Even if an institution has a proven track record, high placement rates, and robust infrastructure, it is bottlenecked by the default “one batch per qualification” rule.
Regulatory Dependency for Expansion: To bypass this limit, institutions must prove “exceptional circumstances” to NCVET to get additional batches allocated. This introduces administrative red tape and slows down execution.

While this strict sizing is meant to impose a control on 1:30 faculty-student ratio for quality assurance, it creates an institutional bottleneck that hampers the broader goal of rapidly spreading vocationalization across India.

However, there is an exception clause on how an Entity Secures Extra Batches from NCVET

As per the Gazette: “…under exceptional circumstances, institutions with proven capacity and reputation may be considered for the allocation of additional batches by NCVET.”

To deviate from the 1-batch rule and increase annual trainee intake, an institute must formally justify its capacity to NCVET by proving:

Parallel Infrastructure: Showing that they possess entirely separate, duplicate sets of labs and workshops so that Batch A and Batch B do not fight over the same CNC machines or robotics kits.
Dedicated Faculty Strength: Proving a strict 1:20 or 1:30 trainer-to-trainee ratio for each extra batch requested, with full-time instructors listed on the portal.
Linear Multiples: If NCVET approves an entity for 3 batches of an approved Diploma qualification, system locks their portal limits to exactly 3 × 30 = 90 trainees for that academic intake year.

In my experience intake limit (& even Jurisdiction) is observed more in violation than compliance, in the absence of actual field audit.

Field Verification Deficit

The recognition pipeline prioritizes initial documentation screening and committee presentations over active field verification. Once bilateral or tripartite agreements are executed, oversight shifts to self-regulation portals and periodic desk audits. NCVET lacks dedicated regulatory inspectorates to perform unannounced, on-site audits during active testing cycles. Without surprise field validations, standard operating procedures cannot be actively enforced, leaving the system exposed to systemic process compromises.

Structural Interest Conflicts

Allowing dual recognition enables single corporate entities to act as both Awarding Bodies and Assessment Agencies. While this design minimizes operational friction within training cycles, it reduces institutional separation between delivery and certification. When training providers and evaluators operate under shared management networks, robust external auditing becomes essential, yet remains unaddressed by current oversight mechanisms.

Technical and Operational Bottlenecks

Centralizing operations through the KaushalVerse Portal and Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) has faced persistent technical debt. Interoperability issues between older legacy systems and centralized public portals create administrative blockages. Furthermore, rigid National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) alignment timelines cause structural bottlenecks. When specialized training modules expire, bureaucratic renewal delays disrupt active training batches, slowing down ecosystem agility.

Performance Analysis Since Inception

Macroeconomic restructuring has standardized long-term and short-term vocational parameters, but grass-roots execution quality varies significantly.

Performance Domain	Strategic Impact Areas	Systemic Outcomes
Regulatory Unification	Consolidated NCVT and NSDA portfolios under unified guidelines.	High success in eliminating conflicting administrative norms.
Credit Integration	Co-authored National Credit Framework (NCrF) to establish academic equivalence.	High success in creating clear pathways between vocational and mainstream education.
Institutional Expansion	Extended Deemed Awarding Body status to Central Universities and Higher Education Institutions.	Moderate success in expanding formal skilling footprints.
Quality Control	Managed testing operations via self-reported portal data and remote tracking.	*Low success;* persistent exposure to proxy testing and unverified field metrics.
Market Responsiveness	Routed curriculum updates through multi-tiered screening panels and committee approvals.	*Low success;* slow deployment of fast-evolving green energy and technology modules.

Global Governance Paradigms: ASQA and Germany

Global VET frameworks position regulatory accountability on operational sites rather than documentation matrices, explicitly separating localized capacity from raw scale.

Australia (ASQA): Risk-Based Performance Sampling

The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) regulates Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) by checking operational evidence instead of corporate policy files. Auditors sample live portfolios, cross-verify completed evaluation patterns, and conduct direct interviews with candidates and trainers.

Crucially, ASQA prevents the numerical volume trap by treating geographic expansion independently. Hitting high enrollment numbers in a home state does not grant automatic national access. RTOs must file a specific Scope Expansion Application for every new territory, proving local physical infrastructure and compliant local delivery sites prior to approval.

Germany: Decentralized Chamber Architecture

Germany’s Dual VET system transfers monitoring duties away from central government bodies to regional industry structures: Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHK) and Chambers of Crafts (HWK). Local companies must clear physical inspections of workspace safety and trainer qualifications to participate. Employers train candidates but are legally prohibited from testing them. Final examinations are conducted independently by regional tripartite boards comprising employers, teachers, and union representatives, using local peer pressure to protect certification integrity.

Structural Governance Comparison

Operational Feature	NCVET Model (India)	ASQA Framework (Australia)	Dual VET Architecture (Germany)
Primary Audit Metric	Pre-Recognition Verification: Data counts, online forms, and portal declarations.	Performance Auditing: Evaluation of active learner files and live observations.	Co-Regulation: On-site checks of workplaces by regional industry peers.
Territorial Authorization	Automated national jurisdiction based on cumulative volume thresholds.	Location-specific authorization requiring independent local proof for every territory.	Region-bound operational permits controlled strictly by local industry chambers.
Evaluation Workforce	Freelance assessors hired via non-exclusive private registries.	Institutional assessors subject to strict federal validation standards.	Tripartite panels comprising local industry, labor, and academic experts.
Investigation Triggers	Scheduled renewals or formal stakeholder complaints.	Data-driven risk forecasting and random target selections.	Continuous local monitoring by permanent regional advisors.

Realizing Ground-Truth Accountability

NCVET has established macro-policy structures, credit articulation rules, and national skilling frameworks. However, its reliance on remote, desktop-based licensing weakens ground-level execution. Transitioning to risk-based performance sampling, introducing geographical dispersion thresholds (requiring minimum volume spread across diverse states rather than single-cluster concentrations), or utilizing regional industry networks could address these gaps. Until verification frameworks shift from checking paper database registries to conducting live, independent field audits, true capability will remain separate from compliance documentation.

Sabarimala: Spiritual Technology and Cosmic Safeguards

June 5, 2026June 5, 2026EnsuresLeave a comment

Most people view Sabarimala pilgrimage as gruelling physical trek, logistical puzzle of shifting dates, virtual queues, and dense forest pathways. External chaos is just mirror. Every single physical ritual in Yatra is exact outer manifestation of internal, psycho-spiritual alignment. Journey does not take you to geographical place, it dissolves person you were when you started. Who protects this delicate technology? In era that tries to reduce ancient traditions to mere legal or historical artifacts, people forget that Sabarimala is governed by cosmic laws, not human consensus. It is not passive museum of folklore, it is active refinery.

Maladharana: Ego Shedding Uniformity

Donning of beaded mala is official entry into state of Vrata, which means austere discipline. It acts as unwritten spiritual contract. Mala itself is not mere ornament, it is sacred boundary. Usually made of Tulsi or Rudraksha beads, mala acts as physical anchor keeping mind constantly fixed on divine thoughts. It serves as constant reminder of vow taken. Moment mala touches chest, individual identity like caste, socioeconomic status, and job title is instantly deleted.

Pilgrims wear black, blue, or saffron clothing. Wearing black holds profound significance. Black represents total withdrawal from worldly attractions, absolute humility, and death of ego. It absorbs all light and reflects nothing, symbolizing how pilgrim must absorb divine energy while reflecting no personal pride. Individual ceases to be secular self and becomes Swami.

Central to this state is strict observance of Brahmacharya, meaning complete celibacy in thought, word, and deed for forty-one days. Observing Brahmacharya is not just physical restraint. It is conservation and redirection of vital life energy. By conserving physical energy, mind becomes exceptionally sharp and body gains strength required for arduous mountain trek. It purifies nervous system, transforming base human impulses into high spiritual power.

When everyone follows these rules, wear same black clothes, and observe Brahmacharya, Sangha, which means community, is born. It is practical implementation of Advaita or non-duality, meaning seeing divine in yourself and in every fellow traveller you meet.

Kettunira: Blueprint of Self

Preparation of Irumudi Kettu, the twin compartment bag, is profound material symbol of pilgrimage. It is literally map of human existence packed into canvas bundle. Front compartment, called Munmudi, houses Mudra Tengai, which is sacred coconut filled with pure ghee. Coconut represents physical body, and its three eyes map sensory dependencies. Draining water represents emptying worldly desires, while pure ghee represents Atman, meaning soul, untainted and ready for union. Rear compartment, called Pinmudi, houses mundane sustenance and personal items. As you walk, Munmudi rests on head, which is seat of spiritual aspiration, while Pinmudi, representing past, karma, and worldly attachments, hangs behind you. Structural balance of bag teaches you how to carry mortal life while prioritizing immortal soul.

Erumeli Petta Thullal Embracing Sacred Madness

Sacred dances of Ambalapuzha and Alangadu Yogams highlight Petta Thullal as far more than ecstatic spectacle. It is calculated psychological purge. Smearing faces with multicolored powders and dancing frantically to primal rhythms represents conscious destruction of sophisticated, manicured ego. To find God, one must first be willing to look foolish to world. It celebrates slaying of Mahishi, who is personification of cosmic ego and ignorance. By losing yourself in collective dance, you shatter walls of intellectual pride. It is mandatory chaos before entering silent discipline of deep forest.

Traditional Forest Path: Spatial Sadhana

Whether traversing traditional trekking pathways or navigating dense wilderness, forest itself is living ritual, space for finding freedom in forest. Steep climbs of Appachi Medu and Sabari Peedam are physical manifestations of life’s spiritual blockages. Dropping rice balls (Unda vazhipadu), called kali-gulikas, at Appachi Medu is symbolic gesture of throwing away inner negative tendencies and fears into abyss. Nature here acts as ultimate guru. Physical exhaustion of trek breaks down body’s arrogance. When muscles scream and breath shortens, mind stops overthinking and starts chanting Swami Saranam out of sheer survival. Forest strips you down to bare essence.

Devaprashnam and Prashnamarga: Cosmic Safeguard

This entire ritualistic machinery is not customizable playground or aesthetic folklore display. It is precise spiritual technology operating under rigid metaphysical laws. When these laws are disrupted by human arrogance, institutional overreach, or secular interference, shrine activates its own diagnostic tool called Prashnamarga. Devaprashnam, which means astrological divination to ascertain intent and state of deity, is not human superstition. It is formal, mathematical inquiry into unseen energetic field of temple. It operates on immutable laws of Patrata, meaning rightful alignment, capacity, and purity of disciple and custodian.

People do not have to look far into history to see what happens when this immune system is ignored. Before catastrophic 2018 Kerala floods tore through Pamba river basin and decimated pilgrimage infrastructure, formal Devaprashnam had explicitly revealed deep displeasure of Bhagwan Ayyappa. Signs pointed clearly to ritualistic dilutions, commercial exploitation of sacred grove, and blatant disregard for deity’s Naishtika Brahmachari, meaning absolute celibate, status. Warnings were dismissed by secular administrators as archaic noise.

What followed was not mere ecological accident. When humans tried to forcefully convert highly restricted, potent spiritual powerhouse into liberal tourist hub through judicial and political mandates, Nature itself intervened. Pamba river reclaimed territory, washing away commercial encroachments and physically shutting down access to shrine. It was stark reminder that if human custodians fail to protect Patrata of temple, cosmic energy of mountain will reset boundaries itself.

Ritual authority vested in Thantri and Pandala Raja is not a feudal privilege, it is karmic shield. They are designated operators of this spiritual machine. Prashnamarga serves as ultimate cosmic audit, ensuring that Sannidhanam remains fiercely protected, concentrated vortex of energy, entirely separate from mundane human consensus.

Pathinettam Padi: Eighteen Sacred Steps

Climax of physical journey is ascent of gold-plated steps. This is final energetic gateway where only pure can step. Each step is specific hurdle. First five represent Indriyas, meaning sensory organs. Next eight represent Ragas, meaning passions like anger, greed, lust, and pride. Next three represent Gunas, which are cosmic qualities called Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Final two represent Vidya, meaning knowledge, and Avidya, meaning ignorance. You cannot just stroll into presence of divine. You must trample over sensory dependencies and ignorance, step by step. Breaking coconut on stone before ascending is final shattering of residual ego.

Ghee Abhishekam:Ultimate Fusion of Conscious Energies

At Sannidhanam, Mudra Thenga (Coconut) is cracked open. Ghee is poured over deity of Bhagwan Ayyappa, and empty coconut shell is thrown into massive, burning Aazhi, which is sacred fire. This is absolute zenith of technology. Ghee, representing soul preserved through forty-one days of pure living under vows of Brahmacharya, merges with cosmic consciousness of deity during Abhishekam. Shell, which is physical vessel or temporary identity, is cast into fire to be turned into ash. Grand finale is reading mahavakya inscribed on temple storefront, Tat Tvam Asi, meaning Thou Art That. Ritual structure forces you to realize that deity you climbed miles to see is very consciousness residing within you.

Finally

Sabarimala is not place of passive spectatorship, it is active refinery protected by cosmic sentinel systems. Pilgrims do not go to look at deity, they go to drop baggage into flames of Aazhi, pour purified intent over divine form, and walk down those 18 steps recognizing Swami within themselves.

Rituals are language, transformation is truth.
If people break language, they lose truth.

ಅಂಬಲಪುಳ ಮತ್ತು ಆಲಂಗಾಡು ಯೋಗಗಳ ಪವಿತ್ರ ನೃತ್ಯಗಳು ಪೆಟ್ಟತುಳ್ಳಲ್ ಅನ್ನು ಕೇವಲ ಆನಂದದಾಯಕ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನವಾಗಿರುವುದನ್ನು ಮೀರಿರುವ ಪ್ರತೀಕಬಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಇದು ಉದ್ದೇಶಪೂರ್ವಕವಾದ ಮಾನಸಿಕ ಶುದ್ಧೀಕರಣವಾಗಿದೆ. ಮುಖಗಳಿಗೆ ಬಹುಬಣ್ಣದ ಪುಡಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಚ್ಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರಾಚೀನ ಲಯಗಳಿಗೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ಉಗ್ರವಾಗಿ ನಟಿಸುವುದು ಅತ್ಯಾಧುನಿಕ, ಸುಸಂಸ್ಕೃತ ಅಹಂಕಾರದ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞಾಪೂರ್ವಕ ನಾಶವನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ದೇವರನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಲು, ಮೊದಲು ಜಗತ್ತಿಗೆ ಮೂರ್ಖನಾಗಿ ಕಾಣಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಸಿದ್ಧರಿರಬೇಕು. ಇದು ಅಹಂಕಾರ ಮತ್ತು ಅಜ್ಞಾನದ ಮೂರ್ತರೂಪವಾದ ಮಹಿಷಿಯ ವಧೆಯನ್ನು ಆಚರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಸಾಮೂಹಿಕ ನೃತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಮೂಲಕ, ನೀವು ಬೌದ್ಧಿಕ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯ ಗೋಡೆಗಳನ್ನು ಒಡೆದುಹಾಕುತ್ತೀರಿ. ಆಳವಾದ ಕಾಡಿನ ಮೂಕ ಶಿಸ್ತನ್ನು ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸುವ ಮೊದಲು ಇದು ಕಡ್ಡಾಯ ಗೊಂದಲವಾಗಿದೆ.

ಸಾಂಪ್ರದಾಯಿಕ ಅರಣ್ಯ ಮಾರ್ಗ: ಪ್ರಾದೇಶಿಕ ಸಾಧನಾ

ಸಾಂಪ್ರದಾಯಿಕ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನು ಕ್ರಮಿಸಲಿ ಅಥವಾ ದಟ್ಟವಾದ ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಚರಿಸಲಿ, ಕಾಡು ಸ್ವತಃ ಜೀವಂತ ಆಚರಣೆಯಾಗಿದೆ, ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಸ್ಥಳವಾಗಿದೆ. ಅಪ್ಪಾಚಿ ಮೇಡು ಮತ್ತು ಶಬರಿ ಪೀಠದ ಕಡಿದಾದ ಆರೋಹಣಗಳು ಜೀವನದ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ಅಡೆತಡೆಗಳ ದೈಹಿಕ ಅಭಿವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳಾಗಿವೆ. ಅಪ್ಪಾಚಿ ಮೇಡುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕಲಿ-ಗುಳಿಕಗಳು ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಲ್ಪಡುವ ಅಕ್ಕಿಯ ಉಂಡೆಗಳನ್ನು ಎಸೆದು ಒಳಗಿನ ನಕಾರಾತ್ಮಕ ಪ್ರವೃತ್ತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ಭಯಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಪಾತಕ್ಕೆ ಎಸೆಯುವ ಸಾಂಕೇತಿಕ ಸನ್ನೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಯು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಗುರುವಾಗಿ ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಚಾರಣದ ದೈಹಿಕ ಬಳಲಿಕೆಯು ದೇಹದ ಅಹಂಕಾರವನ್ನು ಮುರಿಯುತ್ತದೆ. ಸ್ನಾಯುಗಳು ಕಿರುಚಾಡುವಾಗ ಮತ್ತು ಉಸಿರು ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾದಾಗ, ಮನಸ್ಸು ಅತಿಯಾಗಿ ಯೋಚಿಸುವುದನ್ನು ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೇವಲ ಅವಶೇಷಿಸವ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಶರಣಂ ಎಂದು ಜಪಿಸಲು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಕಾಡು ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ಸಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಕಳಚುತ್ತದೆ.

ದೇವಪ್ರಶ್ನಂ ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಮಾರ್ಗ: ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾಂಡದ ಪ್ರತಿರಕ್ಷಣೆ

ಈ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಆಚರಣೆಯ ಯಾಂತ್ರಿಕತೆಯು ಗ್ರಾಹಕೀಯಗೊಳಿಸಬಹುದಾದ ಆಟದ ಮೈದಾನ ಅಥವಾ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯದ ಜಾನಪದ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನವಲ್ಲ. ಇದು ಕಟ್ಟುನಿಟ್ಟಾದ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ನಿಯಮಗಳ ಅಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುವ ನಿಖರವಾದ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನವಾಗಿದೆ. ಮಾನವನ ಅಹಂಕಾರ, ಸಾಂಸ್ಥಿಕ ಅತಿರೇಕ ಅಥವಾ ಲೌಕಿಕ ಹಸ್ತಕ್ಷೇಪದಿಂದ ಈ ನಿಯಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಧಕ್ಕೆಯಾದಾಗ, ದೇವಾಲಯವು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಮಾರ್ಗ ಎಂಬ ತನ್ನದೇ ಆದ ರೋಗನಿರ್ಣಯದ ಸಾಧನವನ್ನು ಸಕ್ರಿಯಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ದೇವಪ್ರಶ್ನಂ, ಅಂದರೆ ದೇವತೆಯ ಉದ್ದೇಶ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯನ್ನು ಖಚಿತಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಜ್ಯೋತಿಷ್ಯದ ದೈವಿಕತೆಯು ಮಾನವ ಮೂಢನಂಬಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲ. ಇದು ದೇವಾಲಯದ ಅದೃಶ್ಯ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದ ಔಪಚಾರಿಕ, ಗಣಿತದ ವಿಚಾರಣೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ನಿರ್ವಿಕಾರ, ಬದಲಾಗದ ನಿಯಮಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತದೆ, ಅಂದರೆ ಶಿಷ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಪಾಲಕರ ಸರಿಯಾದ ಜೋಡಣೆ, ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಶುದ್ಧತೆ.

ಈ ಪ್ರತಿರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷಿಸಿದಾಗ ಏನಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ನೋಡಲು ಜನರು ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹು ದೂರ ಹುಡುಕ ಬೇಕಾಗಿಲ್ಲ. 2018 ರ ಕೇರಳ ಪ್ರವಾಹ ದುರಂತದಲ್ಲಿ, ಪಂಬಾ ನದಿಯ ಜಲಾನಯನ ನಶಿಸಿ, ಯಾತ್ರಾ ಮೂಲಸೌಕರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ನಾಶಪಡಿಸುವ ಮೊದಲು, ಔಪಚಾರಿಕ ದೇವಪ್ರಶ್ನಂ ಭಗವಾನ್ ಅಯ್ಯಪ್ಪನ ಆಳವಾದ ಅಸಮಾಧಾನವನ್ನು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಬಹಿರಂಗಪಡಿಸಿತ್ತು. ಆಚರಣೆಯ ದುರ್ಬಲಗೊಳಿಸುವಿಕೆ, ಪವಿತ್ರ ತೋಪಿನ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಶೋಷಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ದೇವತೆಯ ನೈಷ್ಠಿಕ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಚಾರಿ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಗೆ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ಚಿಹ್ನೆಗಳು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ತೋರಿಸಿದ್ದವು. ಎಚ್ಚರಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಲೌಕಿಕ ಆಡಳಿತಗಾರರು ಪುರಾತನ ಶಬ್ದ ಎಂದು ತಳ್ಳಿಹಾಕಿದರು.

ಅದು ಕೇವಲ ಪರಿಸರ ಅಪಘಾತವಾಗಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ನ್ಯಾಯಾಂಗ ಮತ್ತು ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಆದೇಶಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಾನವರು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ನಿರ್ಬಂಧಿತ, ಪ್ರಬಲ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರವನ್ನು ಉದಾರ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿ ತಾಣವಾಗಿ ಬಲವಂತವಾಗಿ ಪರಿವರ್ತಿಸಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿದಾಗ, ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಯೇ ಮಧ್ಯಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿತು. ಪಂಬಾ ನದಿಯು ತನ್ನ ಭೂಪ್ರದೇಶವನ್ನು ಮರಳಿ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿತು, ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಒತ್ತುವರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಚ್ಚಿಹಾಕಿತು ಮತ್ತು ದೇವಾಲಯದ ಪ್ರವೇಶವನ್ನು ದೈಹಿಕವಾಗಿ ಮುಚ್ಚಿತು. ಮಾನವ ರಕ್ಷಕರು ದೇವಾಲಯದ ಪಾತ್ರತೆಯನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸಲು ವಿಫಲವಾದರೆ, ಪರ್ವತದ ನೈಸರ್ಗಿಕ ಶಕ್ತಿಯು ಗಡಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸ್ವತಃ ಮರುಹೊಂದಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂಬುದಕ್ಕೆ ಇದು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಜ್ಞಾಪನೆಯಾಗಿದೆ.

ತಂತ್ರಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪಂದಳ ರಾಜರಲ್ಲಿ ಪಟ್ಟಭದ್ರವಾಗಿರುವ ಆಚರಣೆಯ ಅಧಿಕಾರವು ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದ ಸುಯೋಗ ಪರಂಪರೆಯಲ್ಲ, ಅದು ಕರ್ಮದ ಗುರಾಣಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಅವರು ಈ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ಯಂತ್ರದ ಗೊತ್ತುಪಡಿಸಿದ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರಾಗಿರ ಬೇಕಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಪ್ರಶ್ನಮಾರ್ಗವು ಅಂತಿಮ ಆಡಿಟ್ ಆಗಿ ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತದೆ, ಸನ್ನಿಧಾನವು ತೀವ್ರವಾಗಿ ರಕ್ಷಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ, ಕೇಂದ್ರೀಕೃತ ಶಕ್ತಿಯ ಸುಳಿಯಾಗಿ ಉಳಿಯುವುದನ್ನು ಖಚಿತಪಡಿಸುತ್ತದೆ, ಇದು ಲೌಕಿಕ ಮಾನವ ಒಮ್ಮತದಿಂದ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕವಾಗಿದೆ.

ಪತಿನೆಟ್ಟಾಂ ಪಡಿ: ಹದಿನೆಂಟು ಪವಿತ್ರ ಮೆಟ್ಟಿಲುಗಳು

ದೈಹಿಕ ಪ್ರಯಾಣದ ಪರಾಕಾಷ್ಠೆಯು ಚಿನ್ನದ ಲೇಪಿತ ಮೆಟ್ಟಿಲುಗಳ ಆರೋಹಣವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಅಂತಿಮ ಶಕ್ತಿಯುತ ಹೆಬ್ಬಾಗಿಲಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇವಲ ಶುದ್ಧ ಮನಸ್ಕರು ಮಾತ್ರ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಇಡಬಹುದು. ಪ್ರತಿ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಯೂ ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಅಡಚಣೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಮೊದಲ ಐದು ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಮುಂದಿನ ಎಂಟು ರಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುತ್ತವೆ, ಅಂದರೆ ಕೋಪ, ಲೋಭ, ಮೋಹ ಮತ್ತು ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯಂತಹ ಭಾವೋದ್ರೇಕಗಳು. ಮುಂದಿನ ಮೂರು ಗುಣಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುತ್ತವೆ, ಇವುಗಳನ್ನು ಸತ್ತ್ವ, ರಜಸ್ ಮತ್ತು ತಮಸ್ ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಲಾಗುವ ಗುಣಗಳು. ಕೊನೆಯ ಎರಡು ವಿದ್ಯೆ ಅಂದರೆ ಜ್ಞಾನ ಮತ್ತು ಅವಿದ್ಯೆ ಅಂದರೆ ಅಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ನೀವು ದೈವಿಕ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಗೆ ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಅಡ್ಡಾಡಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ನೀವು ಇಂದ್ರಿಯ ಅವಲಂಬನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ಅಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಹಂತ ಹಂತವಾಗಿ ತುಳಿಯಬೇಕು. ಆರೋಹಣ ಮಾಡುವ ಮುನ್ನ ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ತೆಂಗಿನಕಾಯಿಯನ್ನು ಒಡೆಯುವುದು ಉಳಿದಿರುವ ಅಹಂಕಾರದ ಅಂತಿಮ ಪುಡಿಯಾಗಿದೆ.

ತುಪ್ಪದ ಅಭಿಷೇಕ: ಪ್ರಜ್ಞಾಪೂರ್ವಕ ಶಕ್ತಿಗಳ ಸಮ್ಮಿಲನ

ಸನ್ನಿಧಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಮುದ್ರಾ ತೆಂಗಿನಕಾಯಿ (ಅಂದರೆ ತುಪ್ಪ ತುಂಬಿದ ಕಾಯಿ) ಒಡೆದು ತುಪ್ಪವನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದು ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಅಯ್ಯಪ್ಪನ ಮೂರ್ತಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಸುರಿಯಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಖಾಲಿ ತೆಂಗಿನಕಾಯಿ ಚಿಪ್ಪನ್ನು ಬೃಹತ್, ಉರಿಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹೋಮ ಕುಂಡದೊಳಗೆ ಅರಪಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ, ಇದು ಪವಿತ್ರ ಅಗ್ನಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನದ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಉತ್ತುಂಗವಾಗಿದೆ. ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಚರ್ಯದ ವ್ರತದ ಅಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಲವತ್ತೊಂದು ದಿನಗಳ ಶುದ್ಧ ಜೀವನದ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಂರಕ್ಷಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ಆತ್ಮವನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುವ ತುಪ್ಪವು ಅಭಿಷೇಕದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ದೈವದ ಕಾಸ್ಮಿಕ್ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ವಿಲೀನಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ. ದೈಹಿಕ ಪಾತ್ರೆ ಅಥವಾ ತಾತ್ಕಾಲಿಕ ಗುರುತಾಗಿರುವ ಚಿಪ್ಪನ್ನು ಬೂದಿಯಾಗಿಸಲು ಬೆಂಕಿಗೆ ಹಾಕಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಗ್ರ್ಯಾಂಡ್ ಫಿನಾಲೆಯು ದೇವಾಲಯದ ಮುಂಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆತ್ತಲಾದ ಮಹಾವಾಕ್ಯವನ್ನು ಓದುವುದಾಗಿದೆ, ತತ್ವಮಸಿ, ತತ್ ತ್ವಮ್ ಅಸಿ, ಅಂದರೆ ನೀನೇ ಅದು. ಆಚರಣೆಯ ರಚನೆಯು ನೀವು ನೋಡಲು ಮೈಲುಗಳಷ್ಟು ದೂರ ಹತ್ತಿದ ದೇವತೆಯು ನಿಮ್ಮೊಳಗೆ ವಾಸಿಸುವ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞೆಯಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಅರಿಯುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ.

ಕೊನೆಯದಾಗಿ

ಶಬರಿಮಲೆಯು ನಿಷ್ಕ್ರಿಯ ಪ್ರೇಕ್ಷಕರ ಅಥವಾ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿ ಸ್ಥಳವಲ್ಲ, ಇದು ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾಂಡದ ಪಾಲನಾ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಗಳಿಂದ ರಕ್ಷಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ಸಕ್ರಿಯ ಸಂಸ್ಕರಣಾಗಾರವಾಗಿದೆ. ಯಾತ್ರಿಕರು ದೇವತೆಯನ್ನು ನೋಡಲು ಹೋಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಅವರು ಆಳಿಯ ಜ್ವಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಭಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಡಲು, ಶುದ್ಧೀಕರಿಸಿದ ಉದ್ದೇಶಗಳನ್ನು ದೈವಿಕ ರೂಪದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅಭಿಷೇಕ ಮಾಡಲು ಮತ್ತು ತಮ್ಮೊಳಗೆ ದೈವೀಕವನ್ನು ಗುರುತಿಸಿ ಆ 18 ಮೆಟ್ಟಿಲುಗಳಿಂದ ಕೆಳಗೆ ನಡೆಯಲು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾರೆ.

ಆಚರಣೆಗಳು ಭಾಷೆ, ರೂಪಾಂತರವು ಸತ್ಯ.
ಭಾಷೆಯನ್ನು ಮುರಿದರೆ, ಸತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೇವೆ
