Buddha Smiles again
When Buddha sworn in as chief minister for the second term after the legend Jyothi Basu stepped down due to ill health, there was a big smile on his face. Buddha smiles again. Why he smiled. Why I noticed the smile on a face that is usually very serious.
Suddenly Buddha appointed a technocrat as his minister to handle the IT activities. The people traditionally been leftists found a green field in the company of Buddha. Have you ever noticed these so called radically Bengal Marxists, who always need a revolution? Unfortunately no alternatives to the Marxists who rule Bengal find their future in this man? There are some clear-cut reasons behind this.
People of Bengal clearly realised that they have to compromise their hardliner Marxian thoughts for the sake of their future generation. Marx always said capitalism is a sin. Go and dream socialism. Future is yours. Bengal people no more hear this. They thought about this. Practiced it. Experienced it. Then threw it away to the Bay of Bengal.
You can make a comparative study between the East European countries and the West Bengal. Before Buddha came to Bengal, the only difference was the EAST and WEST,. Rest is all the same here and there. Soviet Union has to split into so many pieces to enjoy the freedom. East Germany had to merge with West to see a new dawn.
The bottom line here is that for any kind of development in this time need "CAPITAL". The state responsibility to handle everything diminishes with the Marxian principles. Today every kid will say "PAISA CHAHIYE" to start something new. or even for dreaming something. You need investment. This formula is Buddha’s success story. People of Bengal accepted it by crowning him again as the chief minister of Bengal.
Now I will tell you why Buddha smiled. Just moments after the counting of ballot papers, Buddha got a call from TATA.I am coming to your state to establish the plant for our small car.
You say what will be our Buddha’s reaction?

Do you believe it!
This I heard from a Swami while I was in Kochi
This is an interesting one
There are two people. One was a captain in the army and the other was a journalist.
One wanted to become a sadhu and the other wrote articles against the sadhus.
Krishnan, the first one wanted to go to spirituality. He fed up with his life in the army. He was so interested to become a monk. Oneday, he left for the Himalaya to take sanyasa from a guru.
The other Balakrishna, a journalist, wrote articles in the newspapers severely criticizing the sadhus sitting in meditation in the Himalayas. He wrote during the Indo-China war and quote”These useless creatures who do nothing for the country and hiding in the Himalayan caves. These people must be dragged out from the caves.
He also left for the Himalayas with a mission that was exactly against the first one
Both of them met on their way. They reached Himalayas and met Swami Sivananda at Rishikesh. After few days with Swamiji, both of them became two different persons
Swamiji told the first one who really wanted to become a monk, look u can’t become a monk but I see a potential of a businessman in you “GO AND START HOTEL BUSINEESS”. That guy came to Mumbai and started a small Hotel. Rest is History. Today the hotel is known as The Leela Group of Hotels”( http://www.theleela.com/)
Swamiji told Balkrishna that you have a potential of a monk and I will make you a Sanyasi
That guy became one of the the most revered spiritual gurus Hinduism has even seen. Swami Chimayanada.( http://www.chinmayamission.org/)
