  Divine course: The Italian devotees during the Shiva Diksha ceremony in Puducherry on Sunday | G Pattabiraman / Express

As many as 23 Italian citizens from Vatican received Diksha from Brahmasree Veda Samrat A Raja Sastrigal at a Veda Patasala (religious school) at Karuvadikuppam here on Sunday. The three-hour ceremony was held at the Gomaatha Kovil amidst chanting of mantras and hymns by the Italian devotees.

The Italian team (consisting of four children) comprised professionals like teachers, doctors and engineers. All of them had undergone a basic course under Raja Sastrigal in Vatican, before coming here. It all began with one Italian man, Flavio, who got influenced by the Hindu way of life, came into contact with Raja Sastrigal, way back in 2001. Sastrigal went to Vatican and stayed there for three months to teach Flavio, and his wife Stepano, the basics of Sanskrit hymns and Vedas. Over the years, the couple has gathered followers, who were also influenced by Hindu spirituality.

The couple developed their diction and pronunciation over the years. The few local people assembled were astonished to hear the Italians’ near-perfect rendering of Sri Rurdram Chamakam, Rudrajapam, Srisuktham, and portions from Upanishads.

Flavio and Stepano even changed their Italian names, adopting Hindu names Shivananda Saraswati and Savithri. Aurora, an Italian team members, told Express that she believes India is a Karmabhoomi and the Hindu way of life has led to understanding herself better.

The Italian lady, who is now known as Lalitha, said she would follow the footsteps of her Guru Shivananda Saraswati. The training for chanting the mantras and hymns lasted for about three hours and Raja Sastrigal performed kalasa theertha (sprinkling of holy water) on the trainees as per the rituals of the Hindu religion at the end.

The team members would spend a couple more  of  days in Puducherry, before returning for more learning after a few months.http://newindianexpress.com/states/tamil_nadu/article583641.ece

Sudarshan – a man simple, yet profound

Sudarshan – a man simpla

S Gurumurthy

Kuppalli Sitaramayya Sudarshan, who headed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for nine years as its fifth Sarsanghachalak and when hale and hearty himself, nominated Mohan Bhagwat as his successor, passed away on September 15. A rare human being — simple, unassuming, honest, innocent, child-like, and, most important, Sudarshan was least given to being strategic or clever. He could be faulted for innocence but not ever for deceit.

His personality and his image stood diametrically opposite. He headed the RSS imaged as communal. However, anyone who knew Sudarshan was stunned by the extent of gap between the perception about the RSS and the reality of who Sudarshan was. The perception about the RSS being an undesirable outfit at the minimum extending to being an extremist at the maximum and the reality of Sudarshan being an affable, friendly and innocent to a fault showed how bias and prejudice could conceal the truth and advance falsehood. It was his innocence that landed him in political controversies at times.

Perez Chandra, an uncompromising and ‘unfriendly’ journalist who gave up writing because he could not find a media in which he could write the raw truth honestly, also a born Christian and a fierce nationalist, fell for Sudarshan’s innocence and simplicity. He met Sudarshan often, asked inconvenient questions and was bowled over by his innocence. Sudarshan used to match his provocation with patience and a smile. Perez used to wonder and bemoan how a simple, innocent and transparent Sudarshan, incapable of hurting a fly, was seen outside as communal, even as an extremist. Contrary to his image again, Sudarshan was friendly with many religious Muslims. He founded the Rashtriya Muslim Manch, interacted with Muslims all over the country, and interpreted the Quran as an inclusive religious text. Unfortunately such good work never leaked outside, thanks to unverified bias in the public domain.

Sudarshan studied engineering, but applied his knowledge wholly for improving humans, rather than re-engineering machines. He had read Descartes and Newton better than the best physicist. Intellectually acutely endowed, Sudarshan used his scientific acumen to argue how the western world view had dehumanised life and reduced humans into robots. He opposed westernisation, of India particularly, on logic, not jingoism. A staunch advocate of Swadeshi, Sudarshan combined the thoughts Mahatma Gandhi and Deendayal Upadhyaya to interpret Swadeshi as an economic idea related not just to sociology but to culture as well. He integrated economics to lifestyle. He believed that market forces, advertisements and corporates should not be allowed to hijack human lifestyle, which was long bound to basic values embedded in one’s culture and civilisation. He saw an emerging clash between market and culture.

The way the West is going today — with 55 per cent of the first marriages, 67 per cent of the second and 74 per cent of the third, breaking up; 41 per cent of babies born to unwed mothers, a half the households led by mostly single women parents and as many households dependent on government bailout — Sudarshan was perhaps right in his apprehensions about what unbridled market forces would do to families, couples, women and children and finally the society in India.

Sudarshan was doubtlessly simple, yet undoubtedly profound.

Guwahati, Saturday, September 29, 2012     Wave of blasts rocks Manipur, 3 dead Imphal (Sept 28): In one of the most audacious acts of violence in Manipur in recent times, suspected militants triggeredseven bombs — one after the other — which left two Assam Rifles jawans and a civilian dead on Friday near Kotha village, north of Moreh, along the Indo-Myanmar border. Four other jawans and two civilians — both women — were also injured in the serial explosions which was targeted at security forces. No group has claimed responsibility so far. Kotha , which almost straddles the Indo-Myanmar border, is the only village in the hills inhabited by plains-dwelling Meiteis. The deceased Assam Rifles jawans have been identified as rifleman Jogendra Kaushik, hailing from Uttarakhand and Kewal Singh from Rajasthan. Both the deceased and the injured jawans belonged to the B Company of 24 Assam post located at Kotha village. The deceased civilian has been identified as 55-year-old Ningthoujam Sangaijao of Kotha village. The two injured women, also hailing from the same village, are 40-year-old Angom Kaboklei and 30-year-old Angom Ritu Devi. The seriously injured Angom Kaboklei have been referred to a hospital in Imphal while Ritu was discharged after treatment. The bodies of both the deceased jawans have been airlifted to Imphal. According to the SDPO of Moreh, Balaram — who spoke to Seven Sisters Post from the spot — said that the first explosion occurred at a little over 1 pm of Friday and the other bombs went off one after the other. The bombs were laid about 20 to 25 feet apart along a village road between Kudengtabi and Kotha. Quoting villagers he said that while four bombs went off in a series, the remaining three went off in another series after about five minutes. The bombs, he said, was planted on both sides of the village roads. He said the attack took place when a foot patrolling team of the Assam Rifles was returning from the main Kudengthabi post with their rations. The deceased civilian, a small-time bamboo-shoot seller, was resting with the two women at a spot when the bombs went off. Following the explosions panic spread through Kotha village which has a historic significance for Manipur. Additional troops of Assam Rifles and police rushed to the spot and conducted a brief search operation at a nearby New Kotha village from where police suspect the bombs were triggered. Police said the attack was the handiwork of experts. “We have gathered splinters and some materials for sending to forensic laboratory to find out the nature of the explosives,” said Balaram. ABVP demands resignation of Forest Minister   GUWAHATI, Sept 28: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) today decried that state of affairs in the Forest department and demanded the resignation of Forest Minister Rockybul Hussain, for its failure to reign the poachers and unabated encroachment of forest lands in and around Kaziranga National Park. This reaction came shortly after the killing of four rhinos in less that 48 hours, that triggered off huge protests and road blockades in the National Park and elsewhere in the State. Meanwhile, ABVP general secretary Krishna Kanta Borah said, “The Tarun Gogoi led government has utterly failed to stop poaching activities in Kaziranga National Park. Our Forest Minister, Rockybul Hussain has proved his incompetency in dealing with poachers and the lack of sufficient manpower in the Kaziranga National Park.” He added, “Around 292 rhinos have been killed by poachers during the tenure of Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. In the past 9 months, 14 rhinos have fallen victim to poachers. All this is happening freely, without any superior mechanism to stop the poachers.” He said that the government’s excuse that floods have provided the poachers a free ground to carry out their activities, hold no water. Meanwhile, the body also alleged that illegal settlements in the National Park are breeding grounds of poachers, adding that huge areas of the National Park have been encroached by illegal Bangladeshi settlers. In the present situation, around 4,85,674 hectares of forest lands along a stretch of  25,000 square kilometres have been encroached by illegal Bangladeshis. “Unless they are evicted, the problem of poaching cannot be solved,” said a member. The body further demanded creation of natural habitats for animals in places they migrate during floods, creation of highlands in the National Park, lifelong sentence to poachers, construction of a flyover near animal corridors, so that vehicles could pass through the National Highway in Kaziranga without disturbing wildlife and eviction of illegal settlers in the National Park. On the other hands, State executive member of the ABVP, Simanta Das slammed the Prime Minister for failing to declare Assam floods as a national problem and creating a national task force to fight floods, despite assurances given during his 2004 aerial survey of flood affected region of Assam. Rhino deaths: AASU raps government over contradictory figures       GUWAHATI, Sept 28: Coming down heavily on State Environment and Forest Minister Rockybul Hussain for his failure to protect the rhinos in the State, the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) said the Forest Minister has lost his right to hold his post. In an interaction with the media here on Friday, AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya and AASU president Shankar Prasad Rai said the figures revealed by an RTI report and the figures mentioned in the report submitted by State Forest Minister Rockybul Hussain in the State Assembly this year on the number of rhinos killed in the Kaziranga National Park (KNP) do not match. “The figures on the number of rhinos killed in Kaziranga given by the State Forest Minister in the Assembly and the figures shown in the RTI report are different. How is it possible as both are government figures?” Bhattacharya said. It may be mentioned that the RTI was filed by a Jorhat-based journalist AK Borthakur. “According to the figures given by the Forest Minister, 98 rhinos were killed by poachers in Kaziranga National Park from 2001 to 2009 but according to the RTI, 59 rhinos were killed by poachers in Kaziranga National Park in the same period. According to the Forest Minister, 672 rhinos met natural death in Kaziranga National Park from 2001 to 2009 but according to the RTI, 659 rhinos met natural death in Kaziranga National Park in the same period. Both are government figures. How can they be different? The government seems to be hiding something relating to rhino deaths in the State and the State Forest Minister should clear his stand in this regard,” Rai said. “The killings of rhinos in Kaziranga and other wildlife sanctuaries in the State have increased manifold during the Congress rule. The presence of illegal cross border nationals has also increased in the State’s wildlife sanctuaries. These illegal nationals are involved in poaching of animals found in the State’s wildlife sanctuaries,” Bhattacharya said. The AASU has also demanded deployment of Army and paramilitary forces in the KNP for saving the wild animals from poachers. “The government should issue shoot-at-sight order in Kaziranga and find out the illegal Bangladeshi nationals settled near Kaziranga,” Rai added.

Sudarshanji led entire society by example- Bhagwat

Sudarshanji led entire society by example- Bhagwat

NAGPUR, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 : “Late Sudarshanji was a perfect confluence of knowledge, devotion and duty. He guided and led not only we swayamsevaks but the entire society by example”, said Dr Mohanrao Bhagwat, Sarsanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) while paying tributes to his predecessor who passed away on September 15, 2012 at Raipur.

Dr Bhagwat speaking at a meeting organized on Wednesday,  September 26, 2012, at Reshimbagh Smriti Bhawan premises, to pay tributes to the late Sudarashanji, the fifth Sarsanghchalak of RSS. The other dignitaries who also shared their feelings on the occasion included former Pramukh Sanchalika of Rashtra Sevika Samiti Vandaniya Pramilataiji Medhe, Swamini Brahmaprakashananda of Arsh Vidya Gurukulam, Nagpur Mayor Anil Sole, Deputy Mayor Sandip Jadhav, Senior BJP leader and former MP Banwarilal Purohit, MLA Devendra Fadanvis, Sardar Kulwant Singh Tuli of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat, former Director of NEERI Dr Tapan Chakraborty, and Nagpur Mahanagar Sanghchalak Dr Dilip Gupta. The Maharshi Vyas Sabhagriha, where the meeting was held, was jam-packed to its full capacity and additional sitting arrangement was made in the basement hall with a large screen to display the proceedings of the meeting. Hundreds of social and other organizations also paid tributes to the departed leader.

Condolence messages from Dr Pranav Pandya of Gayatri Parivar and Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalya, Hardwar, Jain Muni Ratnasundar Surishwar Maharaj of Sakal Jain Samaj, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev, Swami Dayanand Saraswati, and Bhadant Sadanand Mahasthvir Sanghnushasak on this occasion.

Dr Bhagwat said that the sudden and unexpected demise of Sudarshanji came a a bolt from the blue to all. We could not imagine that he was not with us. Stating that his death was a personal loss to himself, the RSS Chief confessed that he used to approach Sudarshanji whenever he wanted some clarification or guidance. He said he took the reins of this biggest organization from Sudarshanji and he was assured that he would get the necessary guidance in times of crises. Now his demise has created a big void in my life, Dr Bhagwat said.

Tracing back his first contact with the departed leader in 1971 when Sudarshanji was Sharirik Pramukh of RSS, Dr Bhagwat narrated how he was impressed by his personality, knowledge and style of working. Sudarsahnji was a voracious reader and mastered many a subjects. He used to conduct deep study and research which was evident from his knowledge and expertise on Assam and Punjab problems. He used to go to the roots of any problem and suggest solutions to them. He earned his knowledge with hard work and study, Dr Bhagwat said.

Recalling his way of teaching Dr Bhagwat said Sudarshanji used to teach us sharirik for hours together during the training camps. He developed the habit to take maximum work done from the body.

Sudarsahnji had a knack to develop lasting relations with swayamsevaks like an elderly person of a family. His demise has been a loss to many such families, he said. But the RSS Chief further added that Sangh work would not suffer because ‘it is divine and not dependent on any individual; it is a collective work’. We should strive hard to spread the message and work of Sangh to pay true homage to our beloved leader, he exhorted the swayamsevaks.

Highlighting that Sudarashnji was man of extraordinary talent and scientific vision, Pramilatai Medhe, former Pramukh Sanchalika of Rashtra Sevika Samiti said that he had special consideration for Samiti activities. He used to play with the little girls from the Northeastern states staying at Devi Ahilya Mandir Chhatravas whenever he visited us. He always wanted the Samiti to play a major role in spreading and preserving the Indian values and ethos through the families.

Mayor Anil Sole said that in his demise the nation has lost a modern rishi and thinker. Sudarshanji also used to give a thought to preserving environment. He had studied the economic reforms and suggested many a suggestion with indigenous touch to solve finaincial and economic problems.

Sudarashanji strove for swadeshi all through his life and encouraged many others to follow the suit, said Devendra Fadanvis, BJP MLA, who spoke on behalf of BJP President Nitin Gadkari who was away at Surajkund to attend the party’s national executive meeting.  He recalled how Sudarasahnji encouraged Gadkari and others for production of bio-diesel.

Dr Tapan Chakraborty, former Director of NEERI, recalled how he came in contact with the great leader while conducting some research on cow urine at Go Vigyan Anusandhan Kendra. His association was always inspiring for us, he said.

Sardar Kulwant Singh Tuli, former MP Banwarilal Purohit, Swamini Brahmaprakashananda and Dr Dilip Gupta also paid their tributes to Sudarashanji saying that in his demise the country has lost a pure soul.

Sudarshanji’s Vaikunt Samaroh held at Mysore

RSS functionaries, Swayamsevaks, Family express grief

MYSORE, September 26, 2012 : “Standing tall to the morals and principles, Sudarshanji was a rare personality to whom RSS will ever remember for his Intellectual contributions to the organisation. His life and message is a guiding force to all Swayamsevaks. He showed the right path for a social worker how to be with people even though there exists a difference in ideology among each other, Sudarshanji is indeed a role model for Sangh Swayamsevaks” said RSS General Secretary Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi at Mysore, on 26 Sept 2012.

RSS Sarakaryavah Bhaiyyaji Joshi was addressing Shradhhanjali Sabha (Condolence Meet) of Fomer RSS Sarasanghachalak Sudarshanji at Mysore organised as a Part of Vaikunt Samaroh (a hindu post-death ritual, practiced after 12days of death of a person) at Sudarshanji’s native, Mysore Karnataka. Sudarshanji’s Family hails from Kuppahalli village of Mandya district closer to Mysore.

Bhaiyyaji further said, “Sudarshanji never compromised with Hindutva Ideology. Growing beyond a portrayed image that RSS is anti-Islam or Anti-Christian, and even being RSS Sarasanghachalak Sudarshanji closely associated many friends/scholars from Islam-Christian community. This shows that Sudarshanji and RSS, always open for all who loves our nation. On September 16, during Sudarshanji’s funeral ceremony around 1500 Muslim friends from different states arrived and expressed their condolences. Sudarshanji always use to say about the Good and Bad interpretations of religious literature both in Islam and Christian religion. However, he was open for all intellectual dialogues among these communities. Sudarshanji’s this attitude shows that a social worker though has any ideological difference with anyone, it has nothing to do for friendly dialogues. ‘Dont hate a person, even if you hate his ideology’, this was Sudarshanji’s message”.

“As Sharirik Pramukh and as Boudhik Pramukh, Sudarshanji guided both Physical and Intellectula training in RSS. Sudarshanji was such a tall scholar, but for all common swayamsevaks he was reachable at ground zero. Even as an octagenerian Sudarshanji was training small kids of 6-8 years of age at RSS Sanghasthan (playground where RSS Shakha held) meanwhile he was attending top level intellectual conferences with Top scholars. Hence Sudarshanji was such a rare personality to set his life with utmost simplicity and discipline. His death resembles the death of a Yogi, as he died early in the moring during Pranayam, even without any suffering, as per the vedic saying ‘Anaayaasena Maranam’ said Bhaiyyaji Joshi.

RSS Senior Pracharak K Suryanarayan Rao remembered the valuatble contribution of Sudarshanji on social harmony between different communities.

KS Ramesh, brother of Sudarshanji remebred the early life of Sudarshanji, his family relationships, and said “Our family feeling despondency over Sudarshanji’s demise, Sudarshanji was our Family’s mentor”.

RSS top functionaries Mai Cha Jayadev, Na Krishnappa, Mangesh Bhende, Su Ramanna, Kajampady Subramanya Bhat, Chandrashekar Bhandary, PR Krishnamurthy, Jayakumar of Vijnan Bharati, AS NIrmal Kumar of Janaseva Vidya Kendra were present. Hundreds of RSS well wishers, villagers from Kuppahalli, Sudarshanji’s family members attended the Vaikunt Samaroh ceremony.

Earlier, Sudarshanji’s burnt ashes ‘Chitha Bhasma’, were made to flow in Paschima Vahini of river Kaveri at Sriranga Pattanam. RSS Mysore City Seva Pramukh Manjunath performed all religious rites during and before Vaikunt Samaroh ceremony under the guidance of famous priest Sri Bhanuprakash. Bhaiyyaji Joshi felicitated both Manjunath and Bhanuprakash for their timely contribution.

संघ के कार्यक्रम में रोक का आदेश फर्जी

संघ के कार्यक्रम में रोक का आदेश फर्जी

Source: VSK- JODHAPUR      Date: 9/27/2012 3:29:38 PM

1. जयपुर, 27 सितम्बर 2012 : कार्मिक विभाग के नाम से किसी ने फर्जी सरकारी आदेश निकाल डाला। इस आधार पर अखबारों (पत्रिका नहीं) में खबरें भी छप गई। जब सरकार ने बुधवार को तहकीकात कराई तो सच्चाई सामने आई कि कार्मिक उप सचिव के फर्जी दस्तखत से सरकारी आदेश जारी कर षडयंत्र रचा गया। मुख्य सचिव सी.के. मैथ्यू ने इस मामले में एफआईआर दर्ज कराने के निर्देश दिए हैं। वहीं फर्जी आदेश से सकते में आई सरकार ने विज्ञप्ति जारी कर इसे षडयंत्र करार दिया। सरकार का कहना है कि आदेश पर जो हस्ताक्षर किए गए हैं वे भी फर्जी हैं।

• पत्रिका ने नहीं छापी खबर

• यह फर्जी आदेश मंगलवार को साधारण विज्ञप्ति की तरह अखबारों में भिजवाया गया। आदेश लाने वाले व्यक्ति ने पत्रकारों से सम्पर्क भी नहीं किया। आदेश की प्रति पत्रिका कार्यालय भी पहुंचाई गई, लेकिन पत्रिका ने पहले पूरी पड़ताल की। सम्बंधित अधिकारी से लेकर मुख्य सचिव तक से सम्पर्क किया और पुष्टि नहीं होने पर खबर प्रकाशित नहीं की।
• दोहरा रूख
• सुबह कांग्रेस ने फर्जी आदेश का स्वागत करते हुए कर्मचारियों पर साम्प्रदायिक संगठनों की गतिविधियों में शामिल होने पर रोक की वकालात की। दोपहर बाद आदेश के फर्जी साबित होने पर रूख बदलते हुए इसके पीछे भाजपा का खेल बताया।
• यह था आदेश
• कार्मिक विभाग (क-3) की ओर से 20 सितम्बर की तारीख में जारी फर्जी आदेश में सरकारी कर्मचारियों के राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ, भारतीय जनता पार्टी, विश्व हिन्दू परिष्ाद, वनवासी परिष्ाद जैसे संगठनों की गतिविधियों, कार्यक्रमों व आंदोलनों में शामिल होने को प्रतिबंधित बताया गया था। आरएसएस की ओर से 28 से 30 सितम्बर तक जयपुर में चैतन्य शिविर लगाया जा रहा है। इससे ठीक पहले जारी इस आदेश में यह चेतावनी दी गई कि कोई राजसेवक इन गतिविधियों में शामिल पाया जाता है तो उसके विरूद्ध आचरण नियमों के तहत अनुशासनात्मक कार्रवाई होगी।

बेनजीर की फोटो रखकर जरदारी ने रोना रोया, कहा- 'कश्मीर का सुलझा दो मामला' Source: VSK- JODHAPUR      Date: 9/27/2012 3:20:56 PM संयुक्त राष्ट्र, 26 सितम्बर 2012 :  पाकिस्तान ने कश्मीर का मुद्दा उठाने के लिए बुधवार को फिर संयुक्त राष्ट्र के मंच का इस्तेमाल किया। पाकिस्तानी राष्ट्रपति आसिफ अली जरदारी ने कहा कि कश्मीर पर सुरक्षा परिषद का प्रस्ताव अब तक लागू नहीं हो सका। यह संयुक्त राष्ट्र की सबसे बड़ी नाकामी है। खास बात यह रही कि जरदारी ने भाषण के दौरान अपने सामने पत्नी बेनजीर की तस्वीर रखी।  महासभा को बताया कि निजी तौर वे खुद आतंकवाद के भुक्तभोगी हैं। उनकी पत्नी पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री बेनजीर भुट्टो आतंकी हमले में शहीद हुई हैं। वैश्विक मंच पर इसे पाकिस्तान की ओर से आतंकवाद के मुद्दे पर सहानुभूति बटोरने की कोशिश माना जा रहा है। उन्होंने संयुक्त राष्ट्र महासभा के 67वें सत्र में 20 मिनट भाषण दिया। उन्होंने कहा कि कश्मीर संयुक्त राष्ट्र प्रणाली की मजबूती की बजाय नाकामियों का प्रतीक बना हुआ है। जरदारी ने कहा, ‘हमें लगता है कि इन मुद्दों का हल सिर्फ सहयोग के माहौल में हो सकता है।’  जरदारी ने कहा कि ‘हम परिषद के प्रस्ताव के अनुरूप कश्मीर के लोगों को शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से भविष्य चुनने के अधिकार पर समर्थन देते रहेंगे।’ उन्होंने बताया कि पिछले महीने तेहरान में भारतीय प्रधानमंत्री मनमोहन सिंह से उनकी बातचीत उत्साहवर्धक रही। चार साल में यह पांचवीं मुलाकात थी। हर मंच से कश्मीर पाक हर अंतरराष्ट्रीय मंच से कश्मीर का मुद्दा उठाता रहा है। सन् 1948 में सुरक्षा परिषद में कश्मीर प्रस्ताव पारित होने के बाद से संयुक्त राष्ट्र महासभा की हर बैठक में यह मुद्दा उठाया गया। जुल्फिकार अली भुट्टो ने तो अपने भाषण में कश्मीर का जिक्र करते समय कपड़े तक फाड़ लिए थे। पाकिस्तान आतंक से सबसे ज्यादा पीड़ित ‘आतंकवाद से पाकिस्तान सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावित है। अमेरिकी ड्रोन हमलों से आतंकी ठिकानों के साथ आम नागरिकों को भी नुकसान हुआ है। पाकिस्तान की नीयत पर सवाल उठते रहे हैं। लेकिन जनता, नेता और सैनिक इनका जवाब भी देते रहे हैं।’ आतंकवाद से लड़ाई पर‘हमसे बार बार कहा जाता है कि आतंकवाद के खिलाफ पाकिस्तान ने उतना नहीं किया जितना करना चाहिए। यह उन शहीदों का अपमान है जिन्होंने आतंकवाद के खिलाफ लड़ते हुए जान दे दी। मैं पूछना चाहता हूं दुनिया से और कितना करें हम। पाकिस्तान और कितना बर्दाश्त करे।’ भाषण के मायने - पाकिस्तान संयुक्त राष्ट्र के इसी प्रस्ताव का हवाला देकर कश्मीर में आतंकी गतिविधियों को हर तरह से समर्थन देता रहा है। यह मदद जारी रहेगी। - संयुक्तराष्ट्र नाकाम रहा है। इसलिए इसमें सुधार/विस्तार की जरूरत नहीं है। भारत संयुक्त राष्ट्र का स्थायी सदस्य बनने की कोशिश कर रहा है। उसे रोकना। - बार बार कहता है कि पाकिस्तान आतंकवाद से सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावित है। वह इससे निपटने के नाम पर अमेरिका व अन्य देशों से आर्थिक मदद लेता है। इसे लेते रहना। जिससे आतंकियों को धन मुहैया कराने में आसानी रहे। कह दिया सो कह दिया : हिनामहासभा के बाहर जरदारी से कश्मीर मुद्दे पर दिए गए भाषण का अर्थ जानने की कोशिश की गई। उन्होंने इस पर कुछ भी कहने से इनकार कर दिया। विदेशमंत्री हिना रब्बानी से पूछा तो उन्होंने कहा, ‘राष्ट्रपति को जो कहना था सो कह दिया। उनके भाषण में सब है। पढ़ लीजिए।’ प्रस्ताव पर भारत-अमेरिका का रुखसुरक्षा परिषद के प्रस्ताव में कश्मीर में जनमत संग्रह की बात है। भारत इसका विरोध करता है। उसके मुताबिक जम्मू कश्मीर का भारत में विलय हो चुका है। यह भारत का अभिन्न अंग है। अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति बराक ओबामा भी जुलाई कह चुके हैं, ‘कश्मीर भारत और पाकिस्तान के बीच का मुद्दा है।  http://www.bhaskar.com/article/INT-zardari-rakes-up-kashmir-issue-in-un-3845876.html ... ...

ब्रिटिश चर्च ने योग पर लगाया बैन

ब्रिटिश चर्च ने योग पर लगाया बैन

लंदन, 27 सितम्बर 2012 : ब्रिटेन के एक चर्च ने अपने कैंपस में योग करने पर बैन लगा दिया है। चर्च का कहना है कि कसरत का यह प्राचीन भारतीय तरीका उनकी धार्मिक भावनाओं से मेल नहीं खाता है।

योग टीचर कोरी विथेल का कहना है, 'मैंने साउथम्पटन के सेंट एडमेंड चर्च के कैंपस को योग सिखाने के लिए बुक कराया था, लेकिन मेरी बुकिंग को रद्द कर दिया गया।' योग टीचर के मुताबिक क्लास शुरू होने से 10 दिन पहली उन्हें चर्च ने मना कर दिया।

अखबार "द सन" के मुताबिक चर्च के फादर जॉन चैंडलर ने कहा कि चर्च का कैंपस सिर्फ कैथलिक ऐक्टिविटीज़ के लिए है। उनके मुताबिक बैन इसलिए लगाया गया, क्योंकि इसे 'स्पिरिचुअल योगा' कहके प्रमोट किया जा रहा था।

हिंदी में काम आसान : विजय शर्मा

भौतिकी संस्थान (इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ फिजिक्स) तथा केन्द्रीय उत्पाद तथा सीमा शुल्क कार्यालय में बुधवार को हिंदी कार्यशाला का आयोजन किया गया। हिन्दी पखवाडा के दौरान आयोजित इस कार्यशाला में राजभाषा हिन्दी के प्रयोग की जानकारी दी गई। नगर राजभाषा कार्यान्वयन समिति भुवनेश्वर के सचिव बिजय कुमार शर्मा ने कहा कि संघ की राजभाषा नीति के अनुसार सरकारी कामकाज में हिन्दी के प्रयोग को बढ़ावा देने के लिए कार्यशालाओं की महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका होती है। उन्होंने कहा कि राजभाषा नियम व अधिनियमों के चलते हिन्दी का प्रयोग अधिक से अधिक हो इसकी व्यवस्था करनी होगी। इस अवसर पर दूरदर्शन के हिन्दी अधिकारी नारायण दास मावतवाल ने कहा कि कर्मचारी झिझक के कारण हिन्दी का प्रयोग नहीं कर रहे हैं। कर्मचारियों के मन से झिझक को निकालना सबसे जरुरी है। हर व्यक्ति अपने मन की अभिव्यक्ति के लिए मातृभाषा का सहारा लेता है। अत: यह सोच ही गलत है कि अंग्रेजी में काम करना सहज है। उन्होंने कहा कि संस्कृत-निष्ठ भाषा होने के चलते हिन्दी व ओड़िया भाषा में नजदीकी है न की अंग्रेजी व ओड़िआ में। उन्होंने कर्मचारियों से खुल कर हिन्दी में काम करने का आह्वान करते हुए कहा कि एक बार मन से ड़र निकाल कर काम आरंभ कर देने से हिन्दी का प्रयोग सरल व सहज लगने लगता है। सरकारी फाईलों में प्रयुक्त होने वाले छोटे-छोटे वाक्यांश का उदाहरण देते हुए उन्होंने सिद्ध किया कि अंग्रेजी की अपेक्षा हिन्दी में फाइल का काम करना आसान है। इस मौके पर भौतिकि संस्थान के कर्मचारियों को प्रमाणपत्र प्रदान किए गये। संस्थान के रजिस्ट्रार ने कार्यशाला के सफल आयोजन पर हिन्दी अनुभाग का आभार व्यक्त किया।

Government is a total failure to control terrorism said Kummanam.

Kannoor(Kerala):The wild  increase in terrorist activities and organization in kerala state is only because of the utter negligence from the part of State government said Kummanam Rajasekharan ,the eminent Hindu leader of kerala.He was inaugurating the mass march by Hindu Ikya vedi who  organized the protest and agitation on the brutal Killing of ABVP worker Sachin Gopal in Kannoor.The leaders argued to arrest the terrorist leaders of Popular Front, take out the real culprits of conspiracy,Bann the religious terror organizations.For that state government should form a special investigation team for that Rajasekharan said.

Protest against congress made Kochi Stunned.

Kochi (Kerala):The rally conducted by the SNDP-the biggest Cast organization of Kerala which is formed by the famous Saint of Kerala Sree Narayana Gurudev made it a grand success .Last week the DCC president of Congress abused Gurudev, from that day SNDP is on strong protest. But when Hindu organization as such came with big protest the SNDP union made their plan to take all the step to warn the government. In Kerala both Christian and Muslim religions are now the only beneficiary of all government plans and projects. The under privileged Hindus are struggling. In this pathetic condition those called Minority secular people now started to abuse all Hindu religious symbols and social reformers argued bu the Hindu leaders.
