The Joy of Akshaya Patra well-wisher

“I came across this nonprofit organization about a year back during our regular visits to Vrindavan. We saw beautiful temple complex before entering the main city of Vrindavan. We visited here for darshans. This is a very complex is maintained very well and is one of the most beautiful deities of Radha Krishna.

After we had darshans, we were taken on a tour of the kitchen by Shri Vishnubhakt ji, who is a young MBA and has been dedicated. Akshay Patra Foundation is run by ISKCON, Bangalore. Mr. Madhu Pandit Dasa is the president of this organization. Akshay Patra provides food to poor children as a system of mid-day meal. This activity takes place in several states and helped to bring back the school drop outs.

We saw the German automated equipment for cooking food on a large scale. First you come to the mixer, which prepares the dough for buns. There is no touch during the cooking process, so a high level of hygiene is maintained throughout the process.
After the pasta is done, the piece must be rolling pin to press to make pot evenly. After that is cut into circular shape and the pulp left over goes back to bin. Now these chapattis pass over the fire for cooking and automatically turns to cook the other side. A good shape even freshly baked buns are collected in steel drums.
On the other raised platform, Dal Subzi, Kicchadi, kheer or rice is cooked in large pots with steam process. These are well collected in steel drums with lids and transferred to trucks, jeeps or buses depending on quantity and destination.

The entire district of Mathura is covered kitchen, providing meals to the number of schools. Cooking starts at night at around 12 am and if you stop you can not see the movements of vehicles carrying food morning off school.

The Foundation has one of the finest facilities around the world to ensure quality and reduce costs. E ’state of the application of science and technology to the fullest extent possible to improve its functioning,
The menu that is served to children is in fact based on scientific research of nutrition experts. And ‘provided by the experts after a rigorous search for the best combination of nutrition for the overall development of the child.

The kitchens are highly sophisticated unique, that are capable of firing up to 2, 50,000 meals at a time. This ensures a high level of cost reduction as well as maintain quality and food hygiene. Central kitchens cook more than one lakh meals in less than five hours with least human intervention and high quality.
Distribution is one of the best. The food is transferred to thousands of schools in a systematic and well planned. Vehicles carrying food are made custom build vehicles with advanced technology to keep the heat in food. The distribution system Akshay Patra is indeed a science that has been studied by various premier management institutes.

The organization holds accounts electronically and manages Web sites for educating and informing people about his mission. He has a strong IT team and ensuring that the Foundation is always very well connected to its supporters.

Akshay Patra, Vrindavan is headed by Narsimha Prabhu engineering graduate and a gentleman very well informed. And ‘experience to attend his lecture Bhagvad Gita in the morning on Sunday.
Akshay Patra Foundation has its own guest house, where anyone can go on and remain unpaid. The guest house has a family suite, A / c rooms, rooms with cold air and dormitory facility. It has a restaurant in the temple complex.

We can help with donations or sponsorship by children. Donors are the advantages of staying at their pensions for the fixed number of days each year until the expiration of membership. Once a year special puja is also done in the name of State.
Subsequent visits to this site, we have become stuck and now if our visit becomes gap two months or more, we feel uncomfortable and feel that we are missing something in life. It is an experience to visit this place. “

Economics and Our Current Situation

This article is about disagreement among economic theories about how to manage the economy of a monetary and fiscal standpoint. It is clear that they can not all be right, because there are so many conflicting positions.

The Chicago school basically posits that the money supply is the be-all and end all of the economic rescue or misery. The basic idea is that if you keep the money supply in line with the actual value of goods and services available, it is not inflation erodes the ownership of fixed long-term debt owners, and corporate investors will be more likely to make capital investments that spur productivity and growth because they can more easily predict their ROI as they do not have to grapple with the issue of price inflation is different from wage inflation.

The Keynesian school differs in that the money supply as little more than a veil, and supports the idea that the growth of public expenditure management Stokes consumer demand to move the economy, and further that the federal deficit spending was the panacea to recessionary circumstances.

It is clear that these two positions can not be taken right in the extreme, as they claim that two different factors that most matter in connection with economic welfare. Friedman and company are right, to an extent. Money supply management that will solve long-term debt and equity investment stifle, as the specter of unpredictable inflation will choke off ready-term risks to take. The problem is that there is a psychological factor to consider. Near zero inflation, in the absence of sustained dramatic productivity increase (which never happened) means paychecks will be static, which employees feel that they are progressing, and suppress willingness to spend. While 3-4% inflation, pay commensurate with trips, people can not be a wealthier in real terms, it is certain people feel wealthier. As long as inflation is moderate and stable, investors (bond and equity) can factor into their ROI calculations reliable and safe feel about the long-term loan and investment projects. So, I take exception to the monetarist view that machine-like “equity” in the management of the cash offer makes sense.

My feelings on the JMK fans is both more supportive and unsupportive as that of the monetarists. On the positive side, I believe in the strongest possible terms that the FISCALISTS is that surplus / deficit management on the part of the federal government is the single most important factor that influence on the economy that the government has no control over. Where I think they miss the boat is almost religious to believe that the nation should go in the public heel on auto-pilot every time the growth rate decelerates. Undisciplined building up the national debt may temporarily Stoke consumer demand and work, but eventually the bills come due (as soon as your creditors, like China and Saudi Arabia, refused to roll over their 30 year bonds). At this point, the government should apply pressure. Much of the money. With long-term real growth is likely only in the area of 2-3% per year, the end result is obvious – hyperinflation – that only Uncle Milty (not the television personality) was so concerned about.

The sad fact is that the Keynesian assumption is correct, but the conclusion is crazy. They are absolutely right that the administration of the federal account not matter (much), and the affairs of a lot more than the money supply (except extreme deflationary tightness or promiscuous in the past). But the conclusion that Uncle Sam should borrow with no strings attached, every time the economy has a hiccup or even a crisis is madness. The reality is that the nation can not produce goods and services quickly enough to the eventual cash payments “real” (they will be in excess of dollars, cheating the people who lent us the money, and what will be a lot more reluctant to Next time we go begging).

I think the solution to the dilemma is based on two important points. The first, which is well understood but politically frightening is that the free market economy is subject to long-term psychological causes cycles of pessimism and call (Nikolai Kondratiev was the first to prove it, and gave his life to the effort – The Reds didn ‘t like his correct conclusion that capitalism is good because the deductibles are self-correcting). When the bubble burst, you need the discipline to let you relax the bad debt, let the victims, the recession / depression, and then start the whole thing once before (no wonder they call it the dismal science). Borrowing large amounts of temporary stay of the system until the bubble is just bigger, and the eventual burst worse. And the killer added problem of how to pay off that T-bonds without the money supply in the fireplace lighting.

The second important correction required to the Keynesian model, which is more subtle and rarely if ever mentioned, is that when you deliberately decide to go into a temporary period of deficit spending, they have a string attached . This is exactly the same string that every CEO attaches when a department head to ask for capital expenditure funds. The series is ROI – any deficit that the government decision is expected to make a return (productivity) to generate so that the growth in aggregate real wages and corporate profits allow recapture of the funds needed to pay the real deficits (instead of rolling them over for ever), and without increasing the tax rates to such a level that the individual work and business investment incentives will be stifled. As well-intentioned (or afraid not re-elected) our legislators are borrowing and spending without ROI criteria to cure economic malaise ultimately disaster – borrowers scared and stop on their rolls of paper, the government shrinks the equivalent of the Amazon jungle money printing, prices / wages to go through the roof until the whole system collapses (due to the unavailability of credit resulting in the private market), and a massive depression results. Unfortunately, I think that is precisely what we have to do.

It’s probably too late for things to resolve and the onset of the disaster, we have for ourselves, but for academic reasons, it is interesting to investigate what the government is doing and what they should do instead. While I believe Obama is sincere in his desire for our economic ills to fix, it is clear from the above that I personally find his economic policy heretic. I even went into the big bailout of the financial companies, such as from the above, I think you know what I feel we should simply let fail. While its green initiatives and planned improvements to the electrical grid will have a few advantages (such as less pollution, lower dependence on foreign oil, and cheaper distribution of electric power), it will be expensive to implement and will not have a lot of work. The plans to upgrade (such as roads, bridges, schools, etc.) would be a lot of work to create and if it is a smart way to increase productivity, the point where spending can be a higher tax base and perhaps even contribute to the reduction is recaptured in accumulated debt overhang. The problem is this: the big infrastructure projects is a pipe dream. You can not simply walk into a major infrastructure company such as Siemens or Westinghouse and said “here are my specs for a new bridge, get right on it.” These industrial giants have huge backlogs, and it may take years before your turn has come. The government can of course contract law tinker on the basis of clear necessity, but forcing the withdrawal of preexisting contracts with respect to their agreed deadlines is a slippery slope indeed (they will be suppressed basic common law without an actual exigency or a court order, to say a dangerous precedent for the least). And we do not have a pool of experienced technical managers a large new group of highly technical large scale projects to oversee. While the science and engineering majors are popular in our schools, they are mostly taken by foreigners who return home after completing their studies. The U.S. students still want MBA’s and a career on Wall Street cratered. Further, where would you get all the blue collar labor required for the actual physical work to be done? Former investment bankers are not that great with a shovel, and established blue collar workers in other industries may be afraid to give a bird in the hand for an uncertain one in the woods (and many may not have the technical skills needed for efficient transmission). Finally, the biggest problem of all: where is the administration of evidence that the planned mega-projects will be more truly reflected in the tax services using a higher tax base than it cost to implement it? So far I have seen in this context.

If there is a real solution, it is to focus on hard realities and the consequences are not good. The federal budget actually only three major parts, the other is small matter for the purpose of this discussion. One, interest on the federal debt, by the demand and supply of Treasury paper. The government can not lower the auction rate by Fiat. Two, defense spending is largely kept in check, ignore the temporary costs of policing Iraq. The defense improved productivity during the Clinton administration will return to their previous levels when we exit the Middle East in large numbers. This leaves one thing, the ultimate sacred cow, which I believe to be slaughtered. Social Security pensions and Medicare, and worthy of a social standpoint, has become white elephants whose time should really be considered. These programs, which are already very expensive, will absolutely explode in the cost of the population ages, leading to both generations of warfare and corporate fear of the FICA tax that would be required to support them. Grandfathering existing retirees, and it is expected to retire perhaps within the next ten years may make sense, but benefits for other levels absolutely must be reduced, and many, in order to keep payroll taxes still so high that no company can afford to somebody remain in the rent. The existing “off balance sheet” debt owed to the social security systems can be easily ripped. There is certainly an aspect of the “steal” from those who have a lot to pay into the system, but there is simply no other logical choice from a macro perspective. Since defined benefit pensions is already all but dead, the people were more responsible as individuals for their own retirement, including saving more in their IRA’s. Ok, they will still open the question of how retirees will pay for medical care in the absence of a gold standard Medicare system. As you probably guessed, I have a lot of opinions on the subject, which I plan to be included in a future article. A final point which I would add, as you can guess not, is that the taxpayer generosity to the investment and commercial banks, mortgage houses, hedge funds, etc. must end, and end now.

Despite a “know-it-all” attitude that came in this paper, I recognize that this topic is something of enormous complexity, with many unpredictable variables and interactions. It would be the height of eyes to confirm that all the facts are absolutely true, or even that all important points that are beyond dispute is. Eventually, you should come to your conclusion about how the nation should continue on the economic front, and hope you do officials have the courage to deliver.
