What I have learned from some philosophical books regarding the evolution of mantras is as follows:
A mantra is a sacred word or words discovered by the ancient sages in a state of super-consciousness. Mantras when uttered produce sacred sounds and every sound is responsible for a particular form. In creation, sound precedes form.
Mantras exist both in subtle state and in gross state, depending on the degree of vibration of its sound. Normally, we can hear only gross sounds. But the sages with spiritual practice could hear them or ‘see’ them in their subtle state (and hence sages are called ‘Seers’). In the super-conscious state the sages heard or ‘saw’ these subtle mantras and their meaning had been revealed to them. When they returned to their conscious state, they remembered these mantras and taught to their disciples, insisting them the repetition of mantras so that they can also reach the super-conscious state in which the mantras were revealed.
That sums it up beautifully ! To add on - the great benefit of chanting the mantras is 1, building self discipline in children and secondly, the chanting and the words and the pronunciations themselves activate certain nerve endings thereby making a person totally aware of his surroundings and self - Like I heard one of our renowned godmen say in one of his discourses " Mantras are like oil or fuel , much like an engine , that a soul needs to perform to its optimum capacity . because uttering them touches those parts of our soul that may be in deep slumber !
You explained well but it is my opinion that no one can tell what is the benefits of chanting the mantras. it is infinite. Hari Ananta, Hari Katha Ananta.

Yes you are right Valentine,s days have not link with martyrdom of Bhagat Singh, I think in 1923 no one know about Valentine day in India. It was chance that Bhagat and his two comrades hang on this day. It is rule that every hang on executed in the morning but Bhagat Singh hang on in evening, because British government was in hurry otherwise he hang on 15.

The body structure of women always attract men towards her. God creates people as male and female for attracting each other. It is a natural phenomenon. Nothing wrong in that.

Women always should be careful in their dressings.
What exactly does careful mean ? Dis all the rapists who raped toddlers and babies d so because they were not dressed " Carefully' ? I think it is precisely this mindset and attitude by both women and men , especially women that breeds such an attitude among men !
I never say that all reasons behind rape is indecent dressing style of ladies. But this is one of the major reasons behind rape. Men with very poor personality always have the tendency to rape toddlers and babies also even if they are well dressed. They exploit ladies and babies because of their personality disorder.
Whether you agree or disagree, this is a fact that the ladies who expose sensitive parts of their body make men to be sexually attracted to them. We can avoid much of rape, if ladies can give little care while dressing.
You are right women little bit care for their dressing, if men saw sensitive parts of women than some hormones released in body and it is cause of sexual attraction. Some one can control on them self and some one not.

Need help in understanding:1. JNU student were protesting against hanging of Afzal guru2. His hanging happened during UPA rule3. Rahul gandhi came onboard to support the students even if they are going against his party's decision4. JNU students readily accept RG knowing that his govt was the one who hanged Afzal guru5. Are these students innocent? What is the role of RG here? 6. How come Mr. Modi becomes villain here?very confusion...
What we say it a joke or top limit of foolishness. RG is opposing decision of his own party, I think he forgot it and it is golden chance for him to oppose BJP and Modi.

Policy of Appeasement of minorities is not new it, it is continue since freedom.
While it is the duty of the elected government to take care of all its citizens regardless of religion, caste or creed, it is also unfair to be partial to any one community simply because they help you get votes. Some people may argue how a minority community can help a party get votes, this is because minorities are known to stay clustered together and in some places there are more than 70 -80% of the same community living in the same area ...
For which government you are talking. Most of leader are edict of power. Power is first thing for them all are behind it. Leaders which are Hindu not serious for Hindus because Hindus are not organized, they are not vote bank.

Malthus theory is a faulty theory as it did not take into account the inventive nature of humans to come out with technologies and products to ensure survival of increasing populations. Today natural calamities like cyclone, floods are predictable and human lives are saved before they occur. Please do not propound a discarded theory.
