Assistance to the Recent Flood Victims of Fiji...
‘The most valuable thing in life is, what we need the most at a particular time.’ Fulfilling peo-ple’s desire with the necessities of life, that some unfortunate ones are not able to have at times, is a highly noble act. Pt. Shalendra Sharma of Hayward did not waste time in reaching the recent flood victims of Fiji. Paying for his travel expenses and other expenses in Fiji he took with him whatever money he could get from some sponsors here and made his way to Fiji in a short time. Buying ‘food packs’ from the sponsored money and his own, he along with Mr. Raben Bhan Singh of Singh’s Rentals of Lautoka, Fiji who provided free transportation visited individual families in the western division who needed immediate assistance and provided them with ‘food packs’. Reaching directly to people with immediate assistance is what genuine charity is. The donors have been very generous in quickly responding to the request. Pt. Shalendra Sharma has involved himself in other social and charity work here in USA and Fiji. Spending so much time and effort is something not seen in many people. India Fiji Today is proud to be associated with Pundit Ji, in terms of highlighting some of his charity work.

Charity Work During the Recent Flood Disaster in Fiji
Nature can be very cruel and life can become miserable and devastating at times. Life in Fiji, which once was re-garded ‘as the paradise on earth’ and it still probably is regarded the same by some people can be highly devas-tating at times for some citizens. The country has suffered record number of natural disasters such as cyclones and floods. The recent flooding in the western division has been highly dam-aging. Some lives were lost and crops were destroyed in huge amounts. The government provided evacuation cen-ters and the people in Fiji and abroad did their utmost in making the victims’ lives manageable. Charity is still alive in Fiji by the gesture of generous indi-viduals. There was a time when there were many social and charitable or-ganizations in Fiji who had special funds and the manpower to assist when natural disasters struck.

Fiji Flashback
Productive Land Lying Idle Now...
Fiji’s once many prosperous cane farms lie idle today. Fiji’s sugar cane industry during its peak days was not just an industry, its was a phenomenon. While it contributed to-wards Fiji’s major economy it was the livelihood of many in Fiji, whose life revolved around the cane farming industry. All of the west and most of the north was fully in-volved in the production of cane and the country depended on it as its major income earner. A lot of the farmers did not physically see a lot of money coming out of their daily hard work, many times in scorching heat, but they still depended on it as their sole income source. A lot of cash was traded with the goods and services they needed during the year for their living. The shop keepers in the sugar cane region made for-tunes by providing goods to the farmers throughout the year on credit system and ob-tained cash when the cane payments were made to the farmers. Apart from the actual farm-ing there were lots of other related activities car-ried out on around the cane fields. There was lots of socializa- tion such as having tea, lunch and even grog sessions to-gether and that provided a sense of be- l o n g i n g n e s s and together- ness to the farmers. It gave them a community of their own which was far differ- ent from the lives in Fiji’s urban areas. If the cane farms could speak they would narrate many memorable events that took place there. Today many of these, once prosperous farms are lying idle covered with bush and have become history.

KARMIC LAW OF BIRTH AND RE-BIRTH
DISCLAIMER—PERSPECTIVES
. These articles are the views and opinion of the writers. The writers and the publisher/editor will not ac-cept any; LIABILITY, CRITICISM, ANNOYANCE or ADVERSE REACTION what so ever, to the contrary of its inten-
tion caused by any misinterpretation, miss-understanding or non-acceptance of the same.

A P E R S P E C T I V E
Does the Parents’ Karma Determine the Type of Children who Will be Born to Them ?
Yes. If the parents have good karma, they will be happy in their children, without worry, anxiety,
etc. Otherwise they will suffer through the bad fate or conduct of the children. Because of their past karma, they are fated to undergo this type of sufferings. For example, Gandhari was a very pure and chaste woman but her karma caused her to suffer mental agony on account of her son’s misdeeds.
Does the Parents’ Karma Affect the Children?
The actions or deeds of the parents in a particular birth cycle will affect the children in the same birth only. The effect will not be carried over to the next birth. For example, a father may incur heavy financial debts but dies before he is able to repay them. The burden of repaying the debts falls upon the son. The son is thus affected by this father’s actions in that birth only. The debt will be repaid in the same birth and will not be carried over to the next.
The parents’ karma of past births does not affect the children. Everyone is born according to his or her own individual karma. When you die, you carry with you only your own good deeds and bad deeds, not other people. When you are born, you have your own karma-kantamala around your neck and not other people’s. So, one’s present situation in life depends upon one’s own karma or actions of the past and not on the karma of other people. But, although the parents’ karma does not affect the karma of the children, both their karmas are related and inter-woven.
For example, suppose you have a set of parents who are good and noble in every way but they have an invalid or disabled child who is bed-ridden. Due to past karma, the parents are fated to undergo the sorrow of having an invalid child. The child, on account of past karma, is fated to undergo physical suffering. Or, suppose you have another set of parents who are also good and noble but are unhappy because their daughter is
widowed. Due to past karma, the parents are fated to undergo the type of sorrow caused by
having a widowed daughter. The daughter, due to her past karma, is fated to suffer widow-
hood. In both cases, you have two sets of individual karmas that are linked together.

A P E R S P E C T I V E
By JAI P. NARAYAN—Union City-California
Jai P. Narayan
We Have Unlimited Potential Our mere existence is a fascinating thing. We had no choice in determining our origins, our genetic back-ground or even the environment of our upbringing. From birth to a good part of our early lives we also had few choices. But as we grew up, the number of choices available to us started to increase. If there were any limits to our achievement, they were due to our inability to explore or make the maximum use of the available opportunities. We came to this world with a developed brain structure and a mind with a huge potential for ideas, intui-tion, talents and creativity. Our mental abilities allowed us to think as we wished and imagine whatever we wanted. This power to think and imagine limitless possibilities gave us the power to change our lives. Most people can change their lives through purposeful thinking and the appropriate use of imagination. How much of our brain capacity do we really use? This is the question I pose to myself frequently. Sure enough, we use our brains to perform routine activities and things that are really essential. However, we use only a small proportion of our brain capacity in a constructive and purposeful manner. It is generally believed that no more than 10 % of the brain capacity is really used. So we all have a goldmine of unu-tilized reserve capacity. I am not suggesting that you or I should go in overdrive and aim for the upper limit! The point is that pur-poseful utilization can change our lives to a large extent. Without solid thinking, however, we can’t change our lives. We achieve results through thinking and the appropriate use of imagination. Thought or imagination is the power that drives us. If this is so, why don’t we use these abilities to the maximum extent possible? We do not know for sure but can only speculate. Let me start with one possible explanation. In the pro-cess of living, we think about many things, both necessary and unnecessary. Some of our thoughts re-late to difficult situations or uncomfortable experiences of the past. Perhaps, we developed a system of protecting ourselves against these uncomfortable thoughts by going for things that make us happy, and avoiding those that involve too many complications or challenges. Perhaps also, we have conditioned our brains to taking the course of least resistance. Additionally, solid thinking is not easy because it re-quires a lot of discipline and goal-focus. Those who use their mental abilities more get better results. Those who use it less fall short of realizing their potential. Many successful people do not possess any more brain matter than you and I, but they use what’s available more than others. And they also exercise more discipline in their lives and in pursuit of their goals. Well, I tell myself, shake-off the habit of pursuing only pleasurable things and make the best use of your available mental capacity and abilities!

Peace or Happiness Which Has More Effect
on Our Minds? This is a common characteristic of human beings to look for physical satisfaction but whether this gives peace to us is a concept that is generally ignored. Being practical in this competitive world is acceptable as this will lead us to achieve our goals in life, that will provide us immense satisfaction with wealth, fame and whatever but the happiness may be limited to material things only. Materi-al acquisition is sometimes temporary even though you may have to spend your life acquiring it. As migrants our thoughts, may have unintentionally, changed over things, particularly relationships, as we may be looking at life from a practical point of view as we try to blend with a lifestyle which may be completely alien to some of us. In doing so we may become practical only and this may affect our relationships with whom we were close to, back in our former home. Peace is attained by having positive emotion which is a rare quality found in us, some have more and some have less. Even by being practical in our daily lives we can al-ways have some emotions connected with it. Positive emotion is an ingredient of a happy life! Back in our former home Fiji, we may have been more emotional as we looked at things from a different perspective. It is generally believed that things that are material are not the real things, they will not get us closer to peace but may give us temporary happiness because we can physical-ly see the objects.
Peace is something that can only be felt within us and can not be seen and can never be bought like material things.

THE VILLAINES WHO ARE REMEMBERED AS HEROES ...
The villains were an equal partner in films as the heroes and heroines were. No Indi-an film was complete without a villain. Indian Cinema has seen many villains over the years but Pran Krishan Sikand known as Pran stands out as the most popular. Now 92 years old he has acted in numerous hit films during his film career spanning from 1940 to 2007. His appearance on the screen changed the mood of the audience as they got ready to witness some real action surrounding some controversy with the he-ro linked to the heroin. A gentleman by nature having acted in over 300 movies he is an elderly symbol of Indian Cinema.

Fire Tragedy of Three Sisters...
Fiji Today
Disasters come without warning. There seems to have been some fire relat-ed tragedies in Fiji in the re-cent past. The Koronivia, Nau-sori fire disas-ter that took the lives of three sisters must have obviously taken the coun-try by shock. Such a tragedy is hard to com-prehend. It is believed the three sisters, the youngest of whom died during the fire and the other two sucommed to death later in the hospital, were caught in fire which destroyed their home. Their parents and grandparents along with a baby sister escaped the fire.

Overpopulated American Iguana in Fiji-A Concern American iguana seems to have become the center of controver-sy in Fiji as they are over-populated on the is-land of Ta v e u n i . The igua-na seems to b e overgrow-ing and s o m e p e o p l e have used it as food and even on commercial level people are thinking of adding it to the menu in hotels. Strict warning seems to have come from an authority conserving nature, for people not to move it to other parts of Fiji. It is also discouraging the use of the animal as food due to health issues.

Vegetable Farming Projects In Vanualevu Hospitals...
Self help projects have always proven beneficial in different fields. The v e g e t a b l e farming pro-ject in all the Va n u a l e v u h o s p i t l a s seems to have two—fold benefits as the hospi-tals save thousands of dollars and fresh supply of vegeta-bles and even fruits are always available for the patients. The recent flooding is be-lieved to have had no effect on the farms as they are situated on high areas. Abundance of fertile land has great potential and if used properly can be highly productive.

Tourism in Vanualevu Tourism industry seems to be thriving in the lone northern town of Savusavu. It is believed cruise ships make frequent visits to the town booming the h a n d i c r a f t and other tourist prod-ucts. Sa-vusavu is a small town located on the sea coast mak-ing it possi-ble for the ships carry-ing tourists to visit the rich and natural scenery, the town has to offer. Market vendors mostly women seem to be doing good business with their prod-ucts. Handicraft sales was common and thriving in Fiji’s capital sometime back as Suva was visited by tourist ships on regular basis.

Water Upgrading in West
Water being the most essential human need should be readily available to p e o p l e . Most resi-dents in Fi-ji’s western d i v i s i o n may not have been getting reg-ular supply of tap wa-ter. The towns from Rakiraki to S i g a t o k a now will have constant supply of water after all the towns have had their water supply system upgraded. Millions of dollars spent on the project should be well appreciated by the residents of the west towns. The setting up of a reservoir in Ba would give the large district constant and better water supply. Water problems have been faced by most parts of the country including the cen-tral division in the recent past years.

Education in Remote Area
Schools are an essential amenity in any community. The reopen-ing of a sec-ondary school in Cakodrove, near Savusavu which was closed down almost thirty years ago is a w e l c o m i n g news to the s u r r o u n d i n g villages. With the lack of sec-ondary school in the area the children had to travel long distances to attend school and that in-curred lots of expense and waste of traveling time. The school is believed to be in operation at the beginning of the next school term. A primary school at the site has been in operation and with the secondary section reopening it will provide great relief to the children’s education.
