The document discusses the author's dilemma as a common man between feelings of Marathi pride and a more inclusive global attitude. It argues that the solution is to understand these feelings as subjective and not generalize them to others. Rather than reacting viciously, one should make efforts to grow and blossom together. The quest for self-knowledge is universal, and Mahatma Gandhi's ideas like nonviolence and practices like namasmarn aimed for individual and global empowerment and blossom through overcoming obstacles from within and without. The core of Gandhi's personality came from his enlightenment and practice of namasmarn, though he may not have expressed this adequately. As a common man, the author can achieve

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Political leaders and their intellectual advisors from
different fields with mistaken identity and petty
frame of mind are trying to gratify themselves and
elate their bloated (though tiny) ego with jargons
such as Marathi asmita(pride), Marathi
manoos(person), and Marathi Bhasha (language)
prem (love) and so on. While this is happening the
sectarian opponents are trying to disguise
themselves as broad minded, large hearted and
ultimately patriotic elements.
As a common man I tend to vacillate between the
illusory fear of loss of natural self respect and my
livelihood being in peril on the one hand (with
Marathi-prem); and soothing strength of humane
and unifying attitude (with global-prem) on the
other.
3. What is the solution to my dilemma?
As a common man I must understand that this
problem; is that of generalizing one’s own
subjective and illusory feeling of self inadequacy or
paranoid fear (of being dominated by the others); to
the general population. This is the hallmark of the
maniacal elements on both sides.
While everyone one of us is prone to develop such a
lowly feeling, the solution does not lie in reacting in
a vicious and barbaric manner, but making efforts to
rise and bravely conquer the obstacles to growth;
inside and outside; and blossom together!
The quest of knowing and realizing self is eternal
and indisputable. It is common to everyone in the
world and Marathi manoos is no exception to it.
In this quest, Marathi manoos has gone far and wide
and excelled in a variety of fields and walks of life.
Marathi manoos has excelled in art, sports,
4. languages, trade, sciences, finances, spirituality,
politics and all the fields for that matter, but not as a
narrow Marathi manoos.
Even though the petty leaders on both sides are
trying to sell their narrowness and blame games; and
even though many of us find gratification in
following these ideas, (due to pessimism, lethargy
and viciousness), soon we and our leaders would be
proved utterly wrong; and detrimental to self and
others!
It is high time that these popular and populist
leaders; and all of us tending to get dragged after
them; recognize the impending flood of universal
enlightenment and work in unison with the forces of
nature ushering it; and blossom together!
Mahatma Gandhi’s contribution in this respect is
noteworthy! He essentially tried to initiate
5. individual and global blossoming and self
empowerment.
Charkha, khaadi, naturopathy, walking, moolodyog
(productive element in education); were essentially
aimed at such individual and global blossoming and
self empowerment! Freedom; for him; meant
freedom from within and outside and for India as
well as for all other people of world aspiring
freedom! For him, nonviolence meant “a state where
lowly and petty reactivity in the form of all kinds of
brutality towards oneself and the others” would be
unnecessary and redundant!
Mahatma Gandhi’s transcendental and globally
benevolent ideas had sprung from the enlightenment
inside that manifested as often ridiculed “inner
voice”. Wherefrom did this inner voice and
enlightenment originate? Undoubtedly; from the
practice of NAMSMARAN. One can also argue that
NAMSMARAN sprung from the enlightenment! In
6. any case NAMSMARAN and enlightenment
inseparably go hand in hand and form Mahatma
Gandhi’s innate core!
Mahatma Gandhi’s austerity, dhoti, spectacles,
abstinence, celibacy and now even pen; have been
dramatized, highlighted and projected repeatedly.
His sheep is hyped. His ideas about population
control, abortion and often inexplicable or
controversial tactics and decisions also have been
referred to and attacked vehemently and repeatedly
by his adversaries and come in focus frequently.
It is possible that Mahatma Gandhi himself could
not express his enlightenment and
NAMASMARAN adequately, or it may be that the
common individual like me has failed to recognize;
the enlightenment and NAMASMARAN; which
were the core of Gandhi’s personality.
7. However as a result; Gandhi has been relegated
(though totally wrongly and falsely) as irrelevant
and redundant by both; his apparent adversaries and
so called followers and common individuals like
me.
It is clear that the deification or condemnation of
neither petty Marathi chauvinists nor their sectarian
opponents; is going to give me the respect,
livelihood and satisfaction of coexisting, growing
and blossoming together! I can achieve this; through
the self empowerment and its expression in personal
and social life; by practicing NAMASMARAN; no
matter; what age, sex, region, language, religion,
and race I belong to!
However, it is up to me; as a common man; to either
exercise the freedom to blossom and empower
myself through NAMASMARAN or worship and
get dragged behind the illusory goals of pettiness
