Each one of us is a Venturer

In Freedom Struggle ultimately the mass effect emerges, where each one at one's place becomes a freedom fighter. Then no outside power can rule them. To irradicate the curse of ignorance & poverty from the masses, each one of us must opt to be a venturer in one's own life & living. In my public presentation on PP in Germany a very poignant & pertinent question was put up, 'Where do First & Third World Meet ? ' My very spontaneous response was, 'Consumer's Sovereignty', resounded the hall with thunderous applause.

The global economy has made the consumer the slave of the market. The books on economics speak of 'Consumer's Surplus, but global money market really makes we Consumers 'Non Plus'. In money market loop, consumers are driven to opt the products the money market decides to produce. Sovereignty signifies full freedom of decision taking & sharing & living strictly on equity terms.

In Natueco Culture each family will have their home farming. In this farming four factors are interwoven:

1. Sun
2. Science
3. Sharing (of knowledge and neighborhood natural & institutional resources) and
4. Sovereignty (freedom to decide on one's own)

It is called four S Agriculture or simply S-agriculture or Sagriculture. A 'Prosumer' will then emerge making each one of us as a consumer really sovereign. We will with our TG (Ten Guntha) transform our present living into Rurban [Both urban rural pleasures together] living. In prosumer society a new type of exchange system will arise, as a local energy exchange unit called ECUES in which, as in nature, energy can be kept in circulation in energy equivalent terms. The present system of political economics decide the value on demand supply, and now virtual money created in share markets has encroached on the sovereignty of big nations.

Leaving aside Consumer's Sovereignty in the global money market system in the underdeveloped countries, nearly eighty percent of the world population is without any real purchasing power & never can expect to have it. So they are annihilated even as consumers.

Natueco Culture fully guarantees full consumer sovereignty in one's very neighborhood. 'Be thy self,' 'Better thy self,' & 'Be as prosperous as you want', is Nature's Eco-system's Evolutionary Paradigm. Only recent progress in various branches of science has helped us to decipher it. As we have seen in our scientific grape revolution, equities (non cash) worth more than 1 crore of Rupees were created that helped us to have our within human and natural enrichment to capture international markets also. The process of PP, helps us to build equity shares as our venture capital that we earn increase, accumulate, deposit, encash, invest as if in a bank system. We call this as our Activity Bank. The velocity of circulation of these Equity shares keep PP Peer Venture Nets, emerging, growing, budding & evolving on co-evolutionary principles where-in, enlightened Human Grey matter gets a clear insight in the enrichment & enhancement of neighborhood natural (material, energy, time) resources in resolving one's every day problems on one's own, with zero pollution & making nature a real friend as against the growing enmity between the two, where natures rule to eliminate misfits in evolutionary process are wiped out. While receiving Jamnalal Bajaj award in my brief talk I had put up this co-evolutionary principles in brief as follows

1. Our experience proves, that our rural community may be less educated or even illiterate, but possesses a high level I.Q (Intelligence Quotient) as our eminent professionals.
2. With this I.Q and with the process of demystification of science, even the illiterates are capable of grasping high level scientific knowledge, and research data, in any field of life, that they feel is helpful to them.
3. After getting that content, they are capable of building up their own techniracy, through their own experimentation and field research, related to their every day problems
4. Thus, a new network of learning exchanges develops on its own, from within different groups, spread over, at different places, and in different walks of life. It is a new sociology of science, and education, a new non-system approach, for achieving genuine investment of science, and new thought among the masses.
5. All this rests more on de-schooling society than on other aids, subsidies and provisions or promises.
6. With this self earned and testified strength of science they develop the capacity of the individual and the community, to take calculated risk on their own strength. This is 'Venture'.
7. These so many ventures, then generate in the community, ever increasing and lasting entrepreneurship, which is the real core of development.
8. It then generates, new credit, goodwill in the community, as well in the network, for further wealth generation and sharing.

So today I invite you all to join the venture from where you are, and as you are, and find out yourself it is applicable to all cases and anywhere wherever we have a problem and are seeking solutions. Welcome one and all of you to join this Caravan.

Today in this lecture series 'Ideas that have Worked' by now one must have realized how no one (even PP) can be any one's 'Help line' but 'Venture yourself,' 'Do it your self,' are the only self help lines to earn real prosperity. Our cultural heritage and vision of one self is, 'I am Brahma' I am 'All in All' I am every thing everywhere. And the process to achieve this goal is of 'Self Realization' only. The same is the new vision of science. New Science is inviting us to have our own prosperity built in our immediate neighborhood only & with our own hands. We all are born as mini scientists. One should read life story of eminent scientist, Noble Laureate Feynman, 'Surely you are joking, Mr. Feynman'. He really lived the life of a tramp in the field of knowledge, science and venture. The real process of science is, 'Not answering a question, but questioning an answer'. It is a constant search to understand and resolve our every day problems in all areas [health, sex, child rearing, old age, etc.] of life, can alone help us to build in oneself the true scientific insights and attitudes in our day to day life & living

Such quest in my life made me formulate one thousand questions to try and decide my life partner at the age of thirty five. For this I had then studied more than hundred random cases of married families from good cross section of the society with their successes and failures. I then gathered latest findings in sex knowledge and here too had our Peer Venture cells in these areas of life. I participated at the delivery time of my second son. We never had to go for birth control operations. We could well plan our spacing between three sons. My self and my wife Vrinda had a bold declared experiment of getting our third child as daughter on the then available clues of acidic, alkaline conditions in mother's womb, severe stress period to mother at the time of conception and so forth. The experiment failed. But our college students enjoyed a ballad [Oh the experiment failed, oh oh oh] written by them on stage in the college gathering. We adopted a promising student as our very son, now a professor in Physics. All people from the first day began to call him as our son.. My three sons also till today take him and respect him as the eldest among them. My wife was before marriage in the Bhudan movement as private secretary to the eminent Bhudan leader Shri Shankarrao Deo. We decided to create one full employment on Bhudan principles that one sixth of one's earning should go for creating real social good. Two person's two month's salary of professor income group is capable of creating permanent full employment to one person. That is how we have a lady maid as a hand, with all usual employment guarantees to her. More over she has become a part of our family. A still more challenging venture was posed by my friend Khobragade, to see if marriage of his close relative can be arranged with any high cast Brahmin daughter. This venture succeeded. My sister-in-law took this venture. She has a happy fruit full married life. Now our new Peer venture cells in our daily diet to overcome blood pressure, heart disease, cancer on strict latest know how in it, are networking well. I am now after evolving new techniracies & ventures for leading a healthy life till one's age of 125 [now I am 77 ],with the promise of present day medical know how, as well by grasping riddle of illness & having our own techniracies to achieve assured success are in progress. Our child rearing ventures are now well established. One can have active sharing in these and similar ventures in all areas of life.

Mahatma Gandhi had written his auto-biography, 'The Story of My Experiments with Truth'. He had his food, clothing, one day as silence day, his fasting ventures and related techniracies. His experiments in saphai, bhangi mukti, in Jivan Shiksha, in self medication, in various village industries and above all concepts as Ahimsa, satygraha, principles of change of heart etc. speak volumes about how he had made his entire life a life of experiments. And many a times in a true scientific spirit he had admitted many of his Himalayan blunders. He was never against Science but against technologies that can never become last person's techniracies.

These illustrations will enlighten us to look for Feynman or even Gandhiji within our own selves. We are resource illiterate as a doctor, engineer, architect engineers, as social scientists, as road builders, as agriculture scientist and what not. Only on this vast resource illiteracy of ours, the present economy thrives. By making each among us venturer in each area of life, a new culture of a truly scientific age will come up over the horizon as 'Eco-Humanhood' and 'Eco-Humanism.'
