The Seven Gurus

Kaushal Kishore

First Guru was my mother
who gave birth to me,
and who delivered the first lesson
of my life in her lap…

Second Guru is Mother Earth
I grew up on
with her support and succour…

The third Guru was my father,
holding whose finger
I learned to walk…

Fourth Gurus were all those teachers
from whom I received
various types of knowledge…

Fifth Guru is my wife
who taught me
what nobody else could…

Sixth Gurus are my children
who give me fresh insight
and innovative ideas…

And above all,
seventh Gurus are my friends
including those on WP
and other social media,
who constantly enlighten me
with their knowledge, wisdom, wits
and creative thoughts
that enrich me every which way…

I consider all those persons
as my Gurus (teachers),
who came in my life,
from whom I learnt
something or other…

Today on the occasion of
Guru Purnima,

We can Do Better Wednesdays, & the CCC for Modern Adulthood?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

       How a new CCC and even a new Serving Adulthood cadre helps us all.  Updating the original mandate from that of the Roosevelt administration, to a modern setting, can help: eleanor_roosevelt_at_civilian_conservation_corps_camp_in_yosemite2c_california_-_nara_-_196548 Excerpt from the old chapter 8, now chapter 7:

Meeting and interacting with other cultures from a living and working point of view also provides a vastly different experience from that of tourism, and facilitates freedom of thought, freedom of worship, and new ideas for fuller interaction in governance mechanisms at all levels, by challenging received ideas.

Who would be interested in leading leading this challenge, do you imagine?

FDA to authorize Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine – POLITICO

Novavax, a biotech company headquartered in Maryland, still needs to complete a final round of quality testing for its vaccine over the next several days. But the Biden administration earlier this week purchased 3.2 million doses of the vaccine in anticipation of the shot soon receiving a green light from the agency.

The expected authorization comes after two years of setbacks for Novavax, once considered among the most promising Covid vaccine developers. The Trump administration in 2020 went as far as pre-ordering 110 million doses of the vaccine, investing $1.6 billion in the process.

Minnesota Trump supporter faces federal fraud charges after burning his own camper and blaming it on BLM: report – Raw Story – Celebrating 18 Years of Independent Journalism

“Denis V. Molla, 29, has been charged in federal court with two counts of wire fraud. Molla lied about being targeted by anti-Trump vandals, according to federal investigators,” reported William Bornhoft. “On Sept. 23, 2020, Molla falsely reported to law enforcement that someone else had lit his camper on fire, authorities said. Molla reported that his garage door was vandalized with spray-painted graffiti stating, ‘Biden 2020,’ ‘BLM,’ and an Antifa symbol, according to investigators. Molla also that his camper was targeted because it had a Trump 2020 flag displayed on it, authorities said.”

According to the report, Molla had actually committed the vandalism and arson himself — and then made $300,000 in fraudulent insurance claims for the property he destroyed, $61,000 of which was paid out by his insurance company after he threatened legal action against them.
