My grandmother is no more in this world that is also associated with Nine-Square Mandala for livelihood system

Hi!

I had hectic class schedule on 12th March 2010 at DA-IICT, Gandhinagar. I got up early morning and attend class of Prof. Dumra of Supply Chain Management at 8 o'clock after that I had 2n class of Prof. Girja Sharan of Precision Farming then 3rd class of Prof. Alka Parikh and last class of Prof. Sujatha Krishnamurthy of Agribusiness Management. Class had wind up at 7 PM. I came in canteen and took Samose chart and came in hostel then I got call from my younger brother Sunil Kumar Sahu (he is at New Delhi) and told me that our grandmother passed away. I could not adjust myself on mobile and I forgot every thing momentarily and thought that what will do now. On that day my father was also not present at home. He went his nephew(my father's sister's son) marriage ceremony. On other hand my sister was enjoying her husband's brother marriage ceremony on the same day. How was the critical situation at my home? I called my all relatives to go there as early as possible. I have no uncle in my family. My father is everything in family. I called on my father's mobile but mobile showed switch off. My father got information at 5 AM on 13th March. 

I am very very unfortunate grandson of my Pujayniya grandmother because I did not attend funeral ceremony and could not give lakari/small stick of wood on her funeral pile. I met with her during my semester break(full December) and she told me you people(including my brother) would not be able to Daah Sanskaar of her funeral body but actually similar case would happen. By our community and relatives effort Sanskaar has over successfully on 13th March.

She did a lot for me. I was her best friend upto 10th standard. She regularly cared me at every moment of life even more than my mother. I told everything if I suffering in any difficulties.After 10th standard I shifted to Darbhanga then Patna then Varanasi and lastly at Gandhinagar.

So, I have decided that at least I will have to attend her karmkaand/karmkriyaa according to Hindu Mythology and religion on 21st, 22nd and 23rd March and pray to GOD to give peace of her soul. I took tatkal ticket from Ahmedabad to Delhi and then Delhi to Darbhanga because not straight train from Ahmedabad to Darbhanga on my scheduled day of journey. I will have mid term exam but I will not be able to appear in mid term exam on 25th and 26th March and my course coordinator gave me permission to go home. They will conduct reexamination for me after 27th March.

Therefore this things comes under inner aspect of life i.e non material things of life. According to Rural Livelihood System-a nine-square mandala (RLS Mandala). The Nine-Square Mandala as Heuristic tool in the study of Livelihood system.  There are 9 squares within a square and each square represent one rural livelihood system. There are following 9 rural livelihood system:

1. Individual orientation

2. Inner Human Space

3. Emotional Base

4. Family orientation

5. Knowledge and Activity Base

6. Collective orientation

7. Socio-economic Space

8. Physical Base

9. Family Space

There are two realities in this world:

1. Inner reality like Individual orientation, inner human space and emotional base

2. Outer reality like Collective orientation, Socio-economic space and physical base

Some are in between them like Family orientation, Family space and Knowledge and activity base

Every activities in life there is specific nine-square mandala to explain it. Any body can set this formula and know about his/her livelihood system.

Thanks,

Anil Kumar Sahu
