Maharlika Nation

I had posted a forum at www.topix.com discussing about renaming the country as MAHARLIKA.

The forum had been ongoing for more than 2 and a half years as of this writing, and individuals both Filipinos and of other nationalities had contributed their opinions regarding the matter.

Recently, there were discussions to create a systematic plan about changing the name of the country, as proposed by forumer bornleader from India who outlined the initial steps. It is good that likeminded individuals have conglomerated through the forum.

I envision that the advocacy towards Maharlika shall go beyond the renaming of the Philippines, but rather would encompass even other countries, especially India, and other mainland nations like Thailand, etc. From my research I discovered that there occured an era when a once very powerful, legendary 'lost' continent existed along these geographical areas, in the same manner as the West had inculcated the legendary Atlantis as narrated by the Greek historian Plato. Among the countries that existed in this vey powerful continent, was the most powerful nation of them all, and this nation comprised both the modern countries of India and the now slave-mentality christened Philippines.

This legendary Asian continent I had referred to, may prove to be much older than Plato's account. Thus, it may not be surprising that even individuals from India expressed interest, for they had documented and preserved these olden treasures in their ancient texts. Bornleader's views regarding the link confirmed my previous research that indeed there existed this glorious Era that once spanned in the secret ages, but seemingly had been endangered and supressed to oblivion. However, these legendary accounts of lost continents, of secret knowledge, of great legends must be supported with tangible facts, and it will occur for these had been held, protected, and had survived. The profound legacy of this treasured history promises greater perspectives of the Maharlikan's once great and noble Past towards a Future far more greater than his/her Present could yet imagine.

Soon, this legacy will be reawakened, and will change the course of history and empower the Maharlikan towards a more exciting Future where once dreams, visions, hopes will fruition into a great Maharlikan Reality.

Mahabharata

Finally, I have found a more, er, convenient way to know about the Hindu classic Epic, the Mahabharata, where else but through, uh, http://www.youtube.com.

I once encountered the Masterpiece that inspired nations and creeds for centuries and millennia, while browsing in a secondhand bookstore. I could still vividly recall the impact of its profound presence amid those shelves of human endeavors. The sheer size of the books however, excacerbated by its awesome number of volumes had left me aghast. Reading though all those vast pages seemed too 'overwhelming' even to contemplate.

Thanks to the individual who downloaded these videos through youtube, the typical mortal on the street is transported back to the eon ages as one glimpses a seeming part of him/her in the ancient era of Indian civilization, back to the olden city of Hastinapur. Here one encounters Bhishma (also known as Dyaus), Krishna and the seeming, eerie similarity of his life and teachings with Jesus more than three millennia before his birth; it also portrayed the noble and heroic Pandava brothers and their common fiery wife Draupadi, the cunning and treachery of Shakuni and Duryodhan and the aftermath the great war of Kurukshetra from where narrated the classic masterpiece Bahagavad Gita.

Here one observes the Power of the Human Phenomenon amid his/her strength and weaknesses, which I found profoundly and intellectually refreshing to compare with imposed conventionalities that instead portrayed the human seemingly likened to an unknowing sheep.

Never mind the mediocre quality of the film, the dull cinematography, or the clumsy acting. Brace instead the profoundness of its ageless message that simply transcend beyond the film's shortcomings as it confounds one's bigotry, awakenes the dormancy, and speaks through one's very own Human soul.

Brace also the sheer length of it. It composed more than 90 episodes approximately averaging 43-45 minutes each. (As of this writing, I'm still in the episode 70's.).
