25/7/2019 To Chairman, LIC of India, Central Office, Mumbai Dear Sir, Re: Amendments required to be made in LIC of India (Employees) Pension Rules 1995 as a result of Delhi High Court judgment dated 27/4/2017 The Corporation, I am sure, is aware that as a result of the Delhi High Court judgment dated 27/4/2017, the DR formulae as included in para 1 and para 2 of Appendix IV in the LIC Pension Rules 1995 have become archaic, considering that the Corporation has not challenged the judgment and had also implemented the judgment by revising the Dearness Relief of pensioners from 26/1/2007 and payment of arrears. AMENDMENT OF APPENDIX IV As a result, it was expected that the Pension Rules would be amended by a Notification in the Gazette and I am not aware whether the process has been initiated for the same. If it is so well and good. Otherwise, I feel it will be appropriate for the Corporations to take the needed steps to get the relevant Rules amended. In this

FROM THE MODERN SCIENTIFIC VIEW NOW WHAT DOES ADVAITHA SAY OF CONSCIOUSNESS ?

THE ASAMBAVA BHAVANA AND THE VIPAREETHA BHAVANA.

MOST OF US , NOT EXCLUDING ME(in my yesteryears of course , WANDER IN FANCIFUL PHRASES , terminologies, THAT ARE USUALLY quoted  WHILE DISCUSSING VEDANTHA.  Peripheral discussion in /vedhantha particularly Advaitha , leads us nowhere.  WE NEVER IMMERSE DEEP ENOUGH TO HAVE A FULLER KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT OUR PHILOSOPHY STANDS FOR.   it is good we follow a particular order in our study and be guided by a Guru in our understanding the inner import of every single literature in this direction.  Swami Sarvapriyananda gives us the books that are to be studied and the order therefor.  .
