The Hippies and Mazars

If you look at the praise and glorification of the hippie movement (Like Beatniks of California) you may find lot of good things like, anti war (remember anti nuclear sign, in fact one of my consultant physicians I worked with in England used to call it "ban-the-bomb test") or anti-Vietnam war, good music etc. Then there was freedom of so many regular and traditional things like dress, manners, keeping the hair properly groomed (Mind you, I grew up during "grease" times) some good and some not so good. I remember some medical students (in Traditional England) coming in the wards scruffy looking (and smelling that way too) during those days of "She loves you yeah yeah yeah". I had to remind one young lady "that when using Ophthalmoscope you have to be very close to a patient, please tidy up your hair".
But then there was over- stretching that good to "free-love", free mind, free drugs (and let the police also do it so they dont catch you.) and free everything.
Music and anti-war elements elevated the movement to a level of "philosophy" and "cultural revolution" (instead of devaluation); I learnt several new words, like psychedelic colors, P. music, P. fashion etc. and sure I saw Wimbledon players and world class cricket players donning colorful clothing instead of the traditional white.
Then, of course the "Woodstock" experience was like a Hajj for them (forgive me for comparison) I was new in America at the Woodstock festival but later learnt more about it that the opening with a blessing, was performed by a Yogi, "Swami Satchetananda" (For some reason that yogi dressing and marijuana became popularized in the West and you saw all people visiting India)
"Data Ganj Bakhsh" in Lahore (A mazar of a soofi saint--for non-Lahorians) had given me all that philosophy long time ago so for me there was nothing new in the philosophy or teaching of "relaxation", of "love not war" slogans etc. I have been familiar of that "movement" that has, to my amazement, gone "un-noticed" by the world around. Most "mazars" are centers of the bhang and charas (Marijuana) lovers who have carried on that "teaching" and enjoying for centuries I guess. I am amazed that nobody ever visited "mazars". They missed the real origins of this "philosophy"of hippies or beatniks or whatever name you may call it.
But the things I always considered of low morality, are being praised, use of drugs, young men and women sleeping together without any relationship and mating like animals, and for three days with filth, mud, and aweful human smell. (Woodstock)The hippie movement. (Some of you may recall the 40th anniversary back in August '09)
They call it PEACE. The mind alteration drug effects are called mind-expanding experience. There is no study of illegitimate children born (Called love children that is what reminds me of that aya of Qur'an--Zayyana lahum-ush-shaitaano 'amalahum--Satan made their deeds look nicer for them) out of Woodstock festival but there is mention of Abortion rights of women being recognized and "women had their say" finally but divorce rates doubled etc. from this "sexual revolution". The effects are still present among the young ones, for the media hailed the Woodstock experience as "good for cultural freedom" A new America was born from Woodstock.
