CELEBRATION OF NARAD JAYANTI & AWARD OF NARAD SAMMAN -2013 AT BHUBANESWAR




CELEBRATION OF NARAD JAYANTI & AWARD OF NARAD SAMMAN -2013 AT BHUBANESWAR (ODISHA)

Bhubaneswa-31/05-Narad Jayanti  was celebrated on 26.5.13 at Bhubaneswar in the local Jayadev Bhawan with award of  prestigious Narad Samman to the distinguished scholar turned Journalist Sri Pratap Mohanty .The  house was packed with four hundred patriotic audience intellectuals  who enjoyed the function   with a cultural ceremonial look .Senior journalist Sri mohanty was felicitated with “Narad Samman award -2013”,and was presented with Sal, srifal and a momento  having replica of Debarshi Narad and also with a Cheque of Rs 10,000/-,as a token of love of the people  of Odisha for his consistent effort for propagating cultural nationalism in the field  of  Journalism. For him journalism is not a profession, rather a mission with social responsibility.
In return of the award Sri Pratap Mohanty told that in mass media, some groups are working against national spirit. Some are also engaged in undermining Hindu values. All conscious citizens should raise their voice against these ill practices. Some media organisations, who are not following the truth and right values should be ostracized by the people. If the main media organizations over look these aspects, then   people should  propagate their value based opinions firmly through social media. He further told that in Odisha Swami Laxmananda Saraswati was murdered due to the nexus between Maoists and some elements engaged in conversion . But  outside Odisha this fact was not highlighted in the media, rather  a propaganda was made that Christians are being tortured by Hindus in the state.
Chief guest Sri Gopal Chandra Nanda ,IPS,the retired Director General of Police told that mass media being fourth pillar of democracy is a guard against corruption in all levels . It has a strong responsibility for our country which is far below in the  ladder of honesty , in contrast to countries like Newziland  and Belgium who are at the top of  the ladder . He further told  that in the field of unfair  sex practices, our country  has a low rate of evils in comparison to other western developed   countries, for which thanks should not go to the police or administration, rather it is due to our high cultural heritage. He again told that by distribution of rice having price of Rs-1/- per k.g. will not   elevate poverty among people. Rather people should be made conscious about their poverty and a strong awareness of work culture with determination can only eradicate poverty from our country . He further added that Debarshi Narad is not given due importance in our society, which he ought to be. People wrongly say that “Narad” is present in every place of disturbance . Rather they should say the right thing that “Narad” appears in every place of importance to collect, propagate and  transmit true and correct news. He praised the work of Viswa Sambad Kendra for  upholding the values of Debarsi Narad .
The Chief Speaker Sri J.Nanda Kumar. the  Akhila Bharatiya Saha Prachar Pramukh of RSS told that “Debarshi Narad” has many fold personalities. He is the Symbol of water , for which on the eve of Narad Jayanti a hot Bhubaneswar  was made cool by the pleasant rainfal,  which suddenly broke out due to his  blessings. He cited the conversation between Debarshi Narad and king Judhisthira that depicts his advice in the field of agriculture, commerce, education , health, administration and information technology .
 He further added that the function is about the great thinker Philosopher, teacher, legislator and last but not the least the first journalist of the Universe Sri Narada Muni.  It is not proper to confine that great personality to one particular area. He was asked by his guru when approached for vidya – what is the extent of your knowledge? Naradji presented an elaborate list from which we could understand the vast knowledge.
The very meaning of the word Narada is this as per the learned forefathers
 One who imparts the extreme knowledge is known as Nara + da – ‘Nara’ can be interpreted in two ways – one is absolute knowledge as such and the other one is ‘about Man’ or man kind– Anyway he was the custodian or treasure keeper of knowledge.
Narada’s presence and involvement in the making up of the two Itihasas are quiet significant. Ramayana was written because of Narada. On a fine morning Narada appeared before Valmiki. Valmiki was in search of a perfect man with 16 qualities. Narada narrated the story of Purushottama having 57 qualities – Yes, it was the story of SreeRamachandra the incarnate of the best of qualities – the maryaadapurusha. Enthralled by the story mesmerized by the narration done by the master communicator Valmiki went for his daily Sandhya Anushtan to the thamasa river along with Bharadwaja. The calm and serene atmosphere and the beautiful environment made Valmiki's mind more creative. It was the moment when Valmiki witnessed  a hunter shooting down one of the burds of the kowncha pair – From the depth of his pain and despair Valmiki uttered ‘Ma Nishada’ – Do not do that – Thus was born the first poem or sloka. Immediately after that utterance and its subsequent impact Valmiki asked his companion. What is this that I have uttered, what sort of things are these lines constructed with a rhythm and a particular pattern just like the notes of Veena. Is this, which came out of my pain, a sloka ? He returned to the hermitage to seek out Brahma Dev and to direct him to write about Rama in the style and pattern of the slokas he had uttered. Thus was born - Ramayana.
Narada was present at every critical juncture of the story line. He corrected the mode and mood of the story flow. He was instrumental in putting the things in order. He never allowed the minds to go out of focus. Narada’s extraordinary skill in interpreting Dharma and keeping the concerned characters well aware about the going keenly are explicit in almost every Puranas.
In Mahabharat his dialogue with Dharmaputra was the wonderful elucidation  of the methodology of Governance and the a Gita for administrators.
 Devarshi Narada entered the unique assembly of Maharaja Yudhishthira. Satisfied with the hospitality of Dharmaputra, NaradaMuni gave him the true knowledge of Purushartha, the four stages of Dharma-Artha-Kama-Moksha. The instruction was in the form of Catechism, ie. in the form of answers to pre -formulated questions. It was in a question answer form and a true elaborate list of the duties of a ruler. He asked 123 questions on the code of law and obligations of the Government. Those rules & regulations, explained thousands of years ago,  are more relevant today. Well,  all are aware about the Ramarajyam concept of Mahatma Gandhi – No doubt this can be taken as its practical application. Yes these duties are morally and legally inevitable. But moreover obeying and living according to the principles elaborated in Narada’s discource was meant to lead  a person to a higher plane of spirituality. It was not just a formula for material advancement or regulating mundane affairs.
Good Governance is a matter of grave relevance today. I say this because matters are indeed grave.Each and every institutions and systems connected with the so called democratic government had gone far away from the common people, on whose name the whole set up has been formed. Truthfulness, sincerity, values haven’t got any position or role in the whole scheme of affairs. Affairs are governed by selfishness, crookedness, one- upmanship. It is not proper to blame the foreigners for our faults.
Those systems, structure and methodology formulated by Englishmen are being continued shamelessly by the independent India. We have failed  miserably in understanding the true meaning of Swa-tantra. Freedom means Swa-tantra is the tantra according to one’s own identity or ‘Swa.’ Governance and systems according to the principles of others or para is Paratantra. We are governed by ‘Paratantra’. Can we say that we are free ? Each and every department is run by the rules, ideas and principles formulated by the alien force who once ruled over us. – It is still continuing as if the same masters are at the helm of affairs. Even the nomenclatures  were not changed. Who is  the top civil servant of a District ? We’ve changed ICS into IAS but the name  is still collector. What does it mean? Collector is one who collects something. English rulers have appointed faithful officers in each district to collect maximum revenue in that particular district. Who is this commissioner, one who is doing some work on commission basis or an authority who employ others on commission basis?
Same is the case of Education, History, Industry and Economics, everywhere the alien presence can be felt. Our rulers were not ready to take up models from our own history and traditions. On the other hand Look at Narada . Narada formulated 123 points or 123 questions specifically connected with the ‘Suraj.’ And the interesting part is that Yudhishtira didn’t give answers one by one to every question. He gave his answer as a whole and in the end clarified that every step he took till then were according to the directions given by Naradamuni.
Broadly we can divide those questions into 5 parts. The first part is on Dharma. First of all he asked “Oh Dharmaraj, are you thinking about Dharma along with Arthachinthan? Is the Arthachinthan overshadowing your Dharma chinthan?” 
Is the desire for material welfare putting a block on your way to achieve Dharma. But along with that he asked whether your extreme involvement  in Dharma made the treasury vacant. – Does the indulgence in sensual activities affect your effort to accumulate wealth and attaining Dharmic Values.
Second group of questions are related with the matters /factors of social development. He asked the King about 7 departments.
1. Agriculture 2. Commerce 3. Security (repairing and maintenance of forts.) 4. Building of bridges (roads.) 5. Grassing area for cows. 6. Tax collection from gold & other precious stones mines. 7. Building of new Basthis. )
He was very much specific about those departments. As an example I shall put before you his directions regarding Agriculture. Can you say that the farmers in your Kingdom are satisfied and wealthy? Have you not made sincere efforts to make Tanks, lakes and ponds filled with water for the irrigation purposes? Is Agriculture dependent on solely the monsoon? What about seeds and food for farmers? Did you not allocate loans for farmers as and when the situation demand?
Think about the affairs of agriculture today. We are seeing the plight of farmers. Plan money allocated is dwindles year by year. Sufferings resulting in the suicide of farmers is increasing. It is not suicide. It is mass suicide.
Third group of questions were about ministers and officers. Have you not selected members of your ministry from persons with exemplary nature, spotless character, and social commitment? Are you not running the different departments of the Government with sincere, non-greedy, service minded, knowledgeable officers? Are you remembering the old saying that ‘one knowledgeable person is better than 1000 fools.  Are you not appointing apt persons for the jobs looking into or considering the level and demand of the field? (Can you compare this with today criteria of selection ?)  Are you not appreciating the good work done by the ministers – who are looking after the treasury, warehouses, vehicles, security at the gates, Armament depots etc. Are they not from clean personality with rich traditions and character? Do you remove or punish expert, sincere and welfare seeking officers and workers without any false of theirs?
 Are you not looking after your citizens with the feeling and love of a caring father and a loving mother? I hope that none of your countrymen would raise fingers against your sincerity, impartiality. What about the womenfolk, are they not safe and participating in the social activities? How far the system created for the well-being of the physically challenged persons are functioningproperly? Are you not attending the need of Sanyasis with a father like affection and sense of belonging?
One peculiar and specific question which is very much relevant today is as follows: Are you sure about your officers that they are not freeing the thieves who were caught red handed out of the greed over the wealth they looted?  What are going on now? See what happens now-a-days? How has the corruption became so rampant?
Likewise Narada asked about King’s daily routine, at what time you are getting up? Are you not contemplating upon the work to be done? Analysing the work which was done? How you are taking decision, alone or after taking suggestions from many? How you are looking after the kith and kin of those sincere persons who had laid down their lives for the security and well being of the nation and society as if they are your own sons, daughters? Are you not hearing the suggestions and teachings of the great knowledgeable personalities having splendid experiences with rapt attention? Have you not kept away 6 doshas like slumber, laziness, fear, anger, procrastination and long enmity.
Questions connected with security, war preparedness, espionage, war strategy were also asked. Narada raised these issues not only to enlighten the Kings and rulers but also to awaken the general public about their rights or what all can be they expect from the Government. If we want to make some plan for good governance these questions raised by Narada can be taken as apt reference. It has got the strength and depth to show the way.  Every point is relevant and it should be analysed minutely.
Narada was always active in his effort for propagating Dharma and people’s welfare. In our scriptures he was equated  as the Bhagawan’s mind. That is why through all ages, among all peoples, in all philosophies , with all groups of society, Naradji was welcomed and received, not only  by Devatas, Danavas too respected him always. Time to time they all took advice from him. In Bhagavad Geeta Bhagavan Sreekrishna placed him on a highest pedestal and explained him as first or best among all Devarshis.
In the fifth chapter of Mahabharath’s Sabhaparva Naradji was explained as the Knower of Upanishads, adored by Gods, specialist in Ithihas and Puranas.
Along with all these virtues he was a master communicator. Narada was considered to be the first reporter or journalist of the whole Universe. He knew the crux of the journalism. His mastery over journalism and expertise in communication was shown when he gave tips to Yudhishthira on governance. Some of the points we have seen. At another occasion he told Yudhishthira that the power of the common people is totally based on how they are informed. They should know how things are going on all over the world. So a responsible ruler should make necessary proper machinery and system to make people aware about the facts.
All the qualities of a good journalist are in Narada. First quality is that the understanding of the situation in depth. Exactitude and comprehension are needed very much for a journalist. Next is the ability to analyse the information. Along with that he should collect and study the whole details. Another aspect is the capacity to foresee the after effect. And the most important quality is  articulation. Considering all the facts explained earlier he should communicate the news or information to the peoples in a proper way, using proper words.
In the Adiparva of Mahabharata Vedavyasa had given a complete picture of Narada.
Only few are discussed here. Vedavyasa at that particular occasion had given 29 slokas to elaborate the qualities of Narada.
After understanding the situations thoroughly, taking all related factors into consideration NaradaMuni used to communicate without making any ambiguity. He is well versed in different aspects of the Dharma and also an expert in implementing it’s properly. He knows the different shades of the meaning of the word and also different word having same meaning. He never failed in using the exact word. Such was his command over language and his power of vocabulary. A true journalist should present the news before the society with comprehensive knowledge of the matter. For that purpose he should study Sincerely. Without which communication would become irresponsible and dangerous. So many incidents can be elicited here as examples. The cut and paste capacity would play havoc in journalistic activities. Narada gave only authentic knowledge for he was in procession of the complete knowledge. This specialty of Narada was authenticated by none other than Vedavyasa. Reporting should essentially be with a sacred purpose. In order to increase the rating reporter shall not adopt any cheap immoral techniques.

A journalist shall not do these dirty tricks with selfish and other ulterior motives.
1. Shoot and Scoot.. ( eg: see how Poojaneeya Sarsanghchaalakji's speeches at Silchar and Indore were reported and how the concerned persons keep mum even after they came to know about the whole speech)
2. Cut and Paste.. You should have the complete knowledge for that purpose you should study in depth cross check and proceed. Pan cake intellectualism as Richard Foremen had put it sharply is a bane of journalism and the same is playing havoc everywhere now a days.
3. Stoop and Rate... Stooping to any level to increase the rating .. For  that matter positive things are put under carpet and nasty negative anti national news are placed on the front page and prime time.. ( eg: Maj Maneesh peetambare's dare devil action against terrorist and his heroic death was not aired or printed but on that very day channels and papers were madly running after Sanjay Dut's bail... Both happened on the same day of 2007...)

A great writer and author of several standard texts including ‘Narada Smruthi’ Narada is known as a ‘Walking Monk.’ Who used to travel all three Lokas communicating each other? Narada was known as a person who used to cultivate disputes among Gods and others with his communication practices. Without knowing the real purpose of those practices many of us called him war monger ‘Kalahapriya’ etc. But Narada used those disputes only to resolve complex problems and to restore Dharma and Peace.


On this occasion a book ‘BEDA BANDITA SARASWATI & SARASWATA SABHYATA’ written by Prof. Dr. Nagendranath Pradhan was inaugurated by the chief guest. The programme ended with ‘VANDE MATARAM’ song delivered by the girl students of Unit-8 Saraswati Sisu Vidya Mandir,Bhubaneswar.

Narad Jayanti function at Kochi

Narad Jayanti function at Kochi

Narad Jayanti function at KochiKochi, May 30: The present world of media is full of confusion regarding the concepts of nationalism and secularism. Because of this confusion they are misrepresenting nationalism. Modern journalism is under the influence of money and western media network. They can come out of this only if they think that our country had a most effective and public welfare oriented communication system represented by Narada, said R Sanjayan, member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) State Committee and former Prant Prachar Pramukh.
He was delivering speech at the function organized at YMCA Hall here to commemorate Narada Jayanti by Vishwa Samvada Kendra, Kerala recently. Noted journalist P Rajan was the chief guest on the occasion.
Sanjayan said that the ancient combination system in India was based on the principles of Dharma and natural well being. He said that Maharshi Narada always opened true and worthy discussion and made the greedy and tyrants so impatient and restless to invite their logical end at the hands of the divine powers. Narada with his vision of Dharma became a true journalist, he said.
Narad Jayanti function at KochiChief Guest P Rajan, a fearless journalist, said that in ancient India communication system was so elastic yet effective that even the kings could be questioned for their wrongdoings and they had to explain. This openness was the basis of our democracy and media and not the vote bank, he said while inaugurating the Narada Jayanti program.
Rajan said that we should feel proud that our culture was still visible in Muslim-majority Indonesia and Bangladesh and Pakistan. The Semitic religions have failed because they lack humanitarian culture and values; he said adding that even the Communists were rejecting Karl Marx who had quoted 'Hinduisation" in his writings. The modern followers of Marx have misquoted it as "Indianisation", Rajan clearly pointed.
He said that we should openly propagate that this country is "Hindurashtra". Only Hindus can vouchsafe protection of human values, and secular system.
S Jayakrishnan, Revenue Jilla Prachar Pramukh presided over the function and V. Lakshmana, Prachar Samiti Member gave the felicitation speech.
Coordinator of Vishwa Samvada Kendra K. Rajeshchandran gave the welcome address while Sunil Theerabhumi, member of Prachar Samiti proposed vote of thanks.   

रामजन्म भूमि समस्या के हल के लिए कानून बने : विहिप का राष्ट्रपति को ज्ञापन

रामजन्म भूमि समस्या के हल के लिए कानून बने : विहिप का राष्ट्रपति को ज्ञापन


VHP Delegation Meets Presidentनई दिल्ली, 30 मई :विश्व हिंदू परिषद (विहिप) का उच्च स्तरीय प्रतिनिधि मंडल वरिष्ठ संतों के साथ गुरुवार को राष्ट्रपति से मिला और रामजन्म भूमि समस्या के समाधान के लिए संसद में कानून बनाने की अपनी मांग दोहराई।

प्रतिनिधि मंडल ने कहा कि उच्च न्यायालय ने ऐतिहासिक व भोगोलिक साक्ष्यों के आधार पर निर्णय दिया था कि विवादित स्थल भगवान राम का जन्म स्थल है। बाबर ने इस्लाम की शिक्षाओं के विरुद्ध किसी पुराने हिंदू धार्मिक स्थल या मंदिर को तोड़कर यहां विवादित ढांचा बनवाया था।

प्रतिनिधि मंडल ने राष्ट्रपति से अनुरोध किया कि मुस्लिम समुदाय को यह वादा निभाने के लिए राजी किया जाए कि यदि न्यायालय का ऐसा निर्णय आता है तो वह स्वेच्छा से भूमि हस्तांतरित कर देगा।

गुरुवार को दोपहर 12 बजे राष्ट्रपति से मिलने गए मिलने गए विहिप के प्रतिनिधि मंडल में विहिप के संरक्षक अशोक सिंहल व अंतर्राष्ट्रीय महामंत्री चंपत राय के अलावा प.पूज्य स्वामी दयानन्द सरस्वती जी महाराज (अध्यक्ष, हिन्दू धर्म आचार्य सभा कोयम्बटूर), पूज्य स्वामी सत्यमित्रानन्द गिरि जी महाराज (निवर्तमान जगद्गुरू शंकराचार्य, भारत माता मन्दिर हरिद्वार), पूज्य जगद्गुरू मध्वाचार्य स्वामी विश्वेशतीर्थ जी महाराज-उडुपी (कर्नाटक), पूज्य महन्त नृत्यगोपाल दास जी महाराज (कार्यकारी अध्यक्ष श्रीराम जन्मभूमि न्यास), महामण्डलेश्वर स्वामी विश्वेश्वरानन्द जी महाराज (संन्यास न्यास आश्रम, मुम्बई), स्वामी चिन्मयानन्द जी महाराज (पूर्व केन्द्रीय राज्यमंत्री, भारत सरकार), पूज्य स्वामी परमात्मानन्द जी महाराज (महामंत्री, हिन्दूधर्म आचार्य-सभा, राजकोट) शामिल थे।

विहिप नेताओं ने राष्ट्रपति से कहा कि वह केंद्र सरकार को अपने उस हलफनामे का पालन करने के लिए कहें जिसमें उसने कहा था कि 'यदि हमारे प्रश्न का उत्तर सकारात्मक आता है, तो सरकार हिंदू समाज की इच्छानुसार कार्य करेगी।'

उन्होंने कहा कि संसद में कानून बनाकर राम जन्मभूमि के मुद्दे का समाधान किया जाए तथा उस कानून में प्रावधान हो कि अयोध्या की आध्यात्मिक, सांस्कृतिक सीमा के अंदर कोई नई मस्जिद या इस्लामिक केंद्र या इस्लामिक स्मारक नहीं बनेगा।

विहिप नेताओं ने गोरक्षा, गंगा रक्षा, महिला सुरक्षा, हिंदू जनसंख्या में अप्रत्याशित गिरावट, मंदिरों के अधिग्रहण संबंधी प्रस्ताव जो प्रयाग की धर्म संसद में पूर्णकुंभ के अवसर पर पारित हुए थे, उनसे राष्ट्रपति को अवगत कराया और कार्यवाही की मांग की।

HON’BLE PRESIDENT OF BHARATSHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEERASHTRAPATI BHAVANNEW DELHI-110 004
RASHTRAPATI MAHODAY,
Jai Sri Ram! Pray you are doing well!
 
Please accept the heartiest congratulations of the Sant Fraternity on your deservingly becoming theRashtrapati – the First Citizen of the country – to preside over the destiny of our Chiranjeev Bharat Rashtra, which is also the biggest democracy of the world. Unenviable indeed is your position in these challenging times. But then, being very deeply rooted in the Himalayan Tradition, may Maa Durga bless you with all the strength and courage to perform your tasks well for the cause of Bharat Mata
2. We were in the 2013 edition of the Dharma Sansad (Parliament of Spiritual Leaders) that was held on February 07, 2013 during the recent Purna Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj (Allahabad). It was presided over by Pujya Jagadguru Sankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham Swami Jayendra Saraswatiji Maharaj. At the national platform of Dharma Sansad a great number of Sant-MahatmasJagadguru Acharyas, Dharmacharyas and Mahamandaleshwars representing the multi-dimensional spirituo-cultural tradition ofBharatvarsh deliberated upon some matters of national importance and appealed to the national society of Bharat to come together to address these matters in cooperation with the Government of Bharat and the Parliament of Bharat. 10,000+ audience present from the Sant-Fraternity of the country witnessed live the proceedings, in turn carrying the message, along with lakhs of volunteers, to  all  the  650,000 villages and townships of the country mobilizing people to chant ‘Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram’ Vijay Mahamantraindividually and collectively to boost the movement for national resuscitation, rejuvenation and renaissance. The Dharma Sansad through the Central Margdarshak Mandal – the Core Team of Sants – entrusted us with the responsibility of meeting you Rashtrapati Ji to acquaint you with the issues, concerns and their feasible solutions as discussed in the Dharma Sansad, and urge upon you to address the same at your level. Here we are as a matter of our Rashtra Dharma and Fundamental Duty (Daayitwa) to have an interface with the First Citizen of our Great Country to discuss issues pertaining to Shri Rama Janm Bhumi, Goraksha, Ganga Raksha, the misnomer of ‘Hindu Terrorism’, Security of Women – our Matri Shakti, Dangers for Hindu Demography, Plight of Hindu Temples and their properties at the hands of governments.
 DEMAND FOR A LAW BY PARLIAMENT IN THE MATTER OF CONSTRUCTION OF SHRI RAM JANMA BHUMI TEMPLE AT AYODHYA 
3. (i) To the national society of Bharat, Shri Rama Janma Bhumi Ayodhya, similar to the telling history of Somnath, signifies that the power of reconstruction is always greater than the power of destruction. After the 1528 CE Babri structure superimposed on Shri Rama Janma Bhumi, it took sacrifices of lakhs of lives from our national stock in about 72 field battles spanning 400+ years, and also expenditure of time, resources, and manpower in long, drawn-out court battles, Presidential Reference, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Survey, archaeological excavations by ASI under court orders and episodes of nationwide movements and mobilizations spanning 60+ years to arrive at the long-awaited court verdict that: 
“1. The disputed site is the birth place of Lord Rama. Place of birth is a juristic person and is a deity. It is personified as the spirit of divine worshipped as birth place of Lord Rama as a child. Spirit of divine ever remains present everywhere at all times for anyone to invoke at any shape or form in accordance with his own aspirations and it can be shapeless and formless also.
2. The disputed building was constructed by Babar ………….. it was built against the tenets of Islam. Thus, it cannot have the character of a mosque.

3. The disputed structure was constructed on the site of old structure after demolition of the same. The Archaeological Survey of India has proved that the structure was a massive Hindu religious structure…” 
[vide judgment of Hon’ble Mr. Justice Dharam Veer Sharma, Allahabad High Court (Special Bench, Lucknow)]. 
Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sudhir Agarwal, Allahabad High Court (Special Bench,Lucknow)] wrote in his verdict: 
“1. The area covered under the central dome of the disputed structure is the birthplace of Lord Rama as per faith and belief of Hindus…” “4.  The building in dispute was constructed after demolition of Non- Islamic religious structure, i.e., a Hindu temple.”  
Hon’ble Mr. Justice S.U. Khan, Allahabad High Court (Special Bench,Lucknow)] wrote in his verdict: 
“…it is further declared that the portion below the central dome where at present the idol is kept in makeshift temple will be allotted to Hindus in final decree…”
(3ii) Placing the record straight for Your Excellency's appreciation, it is pointed out that Hindu Parties in the Suits had pleaded  that Allah does not accept Namaz or Dedication of property (Waqf) which is obtained by force and without title and cited injunctions of Koran and Islamic tenets which do not permit construction of Mosque at the site of a Temple by demolishing it (vide Paras 25 & 28 of Written Statement of Defdt No. 13 and para 41 of WS of  Defdt No. 20 in Sunni Boards' Suit and para 24 of Plaint of Bhagwan Shri Ramlala's Suit). Justice D.V. Sharma specifically dealt with Koran and Islamic tenets and held that no right accrued to Babar as conqueror to make dedication of disputed structure as Mosque (vide page 2975 of Vol. 3 of published judgment). Justice Sudhir Agarwal held the issue to be irrelevant and left it undecided (vide para 3429 of Vol. 2 of published Judgment), while Justice S.U. Khan did not touch the issue of illegality for violation of Koranic injunction & Islamic tenets, but only held that Muslims used to offer Namaz only from 1934 to 22nd of December, 1949 (vide page 100 of Vo. 1 of published judgment). Nevertheless, Justice S.U. Khan’s words at Point # 2 in his gist of findings speak volumes against the Waqf status of the premises in question, i.e., “2. It is not proved by direct evidence that premises in dispute including constructed portion belonged to Babar or the person who constructed the mosque or under whose orders it was constructed”Hence the recorded finding of Justice D.V. Sharma stands elevated to the position of the finding of the High Court.  
(3iii) The 3-Judge Special Bench of Allahabad High Court gives the unambiguous and unanimous verdict that the birthplace of Ramlalla Virajman is at the Ram Janma Bhumi in suit and that the Babri structure was not put up on a virgin land but illegally parked on a Hindu Temple/place of worship. 
(3iv) It took many anxious years in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court (Special Bench, Lucknow) to arrive at this verdict so as to be able to furnish a definite reply to the Presidential Reference of 07th January, 1993 under Article 143 of the Constitution of India to the Apex Court which asked: “Whether a Hindu temple or any Hindu religious structure existed prior to the construction of the Ram Janm Bhoomi-Babri Masjid (including the premises of the inner and outer courtyards of such structure) in the areas on which the structure stood?” Certain Muslim leaders during the processing made commitments “… that if these assertions were proved, the Muslims would voluntarily hand over the disputed shrine to the Hindus.” (vide Paras 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of the White Paper of Government of India) and the learned Solicitor General of India on 14th September, 1994 submitted in the Apex Court the Central Government’s commitment made in an affidavit that: “... If the question referred is answered in the affirmative, namely, that a Hindu temple/structure did exist prior to the construction of the demolished structure, government action will be in support of the wishes of the Hindu community. If, on the other hand, the question is answered in the negative, namely, that no such Hindu temple/structure existed at the relevant time, then government action will be in support of the wishes of the Muslim community…”     (Ref. – 1994-6-SCC, p. 383 - Ismail Faruqi Vs. Government of India) 
(3v) All the 3 Judges held unanimously that the disputed area contains the birthplace of Lord Rama. According to Justice S.U. Khan and Justice Sudhir Agarwal only the site of the Central Dome of disputed structure was the birth place; according to Justice D.V. Sharma, the entire disputed area is the birthplace. 
(3vi) The cumulative effect of these findings is that, on the one hand, Shri Ram Janma Bhumi contains the birthplace of Lord Ram, on the other hand the Babri Masjid was a prohibited structure void ab initio. The only obstruction in wholly enforcing the rights of Bhagwan Shri Ramalala over the entire disputed area is the direction of Justices S.U. Khan and Sudhir Agarwal to partition the disputed area into 3 equal parts so that each of the three Parties, viz, Bhagwan Shri Ramlala, Sunni Board of Wakf as representative of Muslims, and Nirmohi Akhara, would get 1/3rd share of disputed area in the final decree for partition. This direction for partition was treated by Supreme Court, while admitting Appeals by Parties, to be prima facie wrong, hence the operation of High Court Judgment was stayed. 
(3vii) So considered in its totality, fairness and justice demands that disputed area be handed over to Bhagwan Shri Ramlala, as undertaken by representatives of Muslim Community during negotiations as recorded in White Paper, and undertaking given to Supreme Court on behalf of the Central Government by Solicitor General of India as indicated above. 
(3viii) Speedy justice is a Fundamental Right of every Citizen under Constitution of India. It took more than 60 years for the dispute to be decided by High Court. It is by no means clear how much time it may take before the Supreme Court finally decides the matter. Heaven forbid, if Supreme Court remand the case to High Court, it may take another 10 or 20 years. Even if it is not remanded, every Party is entitled to approach Supreme Court again by way of Review under Article 137 of the Constitution. It is in national interest to finalise this matter of national importance at the earliest; hence Parliament may finalise it by an Act. 
(3ix) It is relevant that, a few years ago, Parliament passed an Act to maintain status quo of all Places of Worship as on 15th of August 1947, excluding Shri Ram Janma Bhumi-Babri Masjid dispute due to pending litigation. It is now time that this dispute be also taken up by Parliament and hand over the disputed area to Bhagwan Shri Ramlala Deity as His birthplace. 
(3x) Parliament of India consists of President of India and the two Houses - Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha – under Article 79 of the Constitution. Your Excellency has unfettered power under Article 86(2) of the Constitution to send Message to either of the two Houses (or even to both Houses sitting jointly); it is the constitutional duty of the House to consider any such matter "with all convenient dispatch". 
(3xi) In the matter of SomnathTemple, the then Government of India moved fast. In November 1947, Home Minister Sri Vallabhbhai Patel announced in a public meeting at Junagarh that Government would reconstruct SomnathTemple(not at the cost of Exchequer) and re-install the Jyotirlingam which would be a point of honour and sentiments with Hindu Public. Patel's decision was approved by Nehru's Cabinet and supported by Mahatma Gandhi. K.M. Munshi, Minister for Food and Agriculture headed the official committee set up to supervise the reconstruction of the Temple. President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad inaugurated the newly constructed Temple and ceremonially installed the Jyotirlingam; he had said: “Rising from its ashes again, this Temple of Somnath is to say, proclaiming to the World, that no man and no power in the World can destroy that for which the people have boundless faith and love in their hearts.”  
(3xii) Your Excellency, now is the opportunity for you to rise in aid ofShriRamTemplein Ayodhya. 
(3xiii) The National Society of Bharat wants your highest offices to take the initiative at the earliest possible to:
(A) persuade the Muslim community to honour their commitment to “…voluntarily hand over the…” Sri Rama Janma Bhumi (Ayodhya) “…shrine to the Hindus”;
(B) ask the Government of India to honour its categorical commitment that “…If the question referred is answered in the affirmative …government action will be in support of the wishes of the Hindu community...”and, thus, now, in the wider national interest, hand over the entire 70 acre campus for the construction of a Shri Ram Temple at Shri Rama Janma Bhumi, Ayodhya as desired by the people of the country led by prominent spiritual personages who have been playing a key role in the Ayodhya Movement for the cause of a grand Temple of Nativity dedicated to Shri Rama. It is on record that as many as 60 million Hindu devotees from 300,000 villages of Bharat have sent ‘Ram-Shilas’ (consecrated bricks) along with a ‘Pranaami’ of IRs. 1.25 each to Ayodhya as a token of their direct participation in the reconstruction effort of theTemple for Prabhu Shri Ramchandra at His Birthplace in Ayodhya.
(C) ask the Government of India to solve the  Shri Ram Janma Bhumi issue by a Law of  Parliament of Bharat as it is a spirituo-cultural issue of Hindus having vital importance for national self-esteem/Rashtriya Swabhiman and national reconstruction on indigenous lines.
(D) ensure in the said Law of Parliament that no new mosque or Islamic Centre or Islamic Monument would be built within the cultural/scriptural boundaries of Ayodhya as it is a city of worship and it is to Hindus what Mecca is to Muslims – which is out of bounds for non-Muslims. Ayodhya – the ancient centre of pilgrimage on the banks of the holy river Sarayu – is held in very high esteem by our national society by virtue of its being the backdrop of much of Hindu scriptures, birthplace of the Seventh Incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu, namely, Lord Rama, and the sacred birthplace of no less than five Jain Tirthankars, viz., Adinath – the first Tirthankar, Ajitnath – second Tirthankar, Abhinandanath – fourth Tirthankar, Sumatinath – fifth Tirthankar, and Anantnath - fourteenth Tirthankar. Originally Ayodhya of celebrated Ram Rajya – also known as Saket – was also the capital city of Kosala Kingdom under the rule of great Suryavanshi Kings such as Raja Ikshvaku, Prithu, Mandhata, Harischandra, Sagar, Bhagirath, Raghu and Raja Dasarath where people fearlessly cultivated and addressed their respective calls of Purushaarthas of Dharma (law & order), Artha (need-based prosperity), Kama (legitimate needs and desires) with a focus on Moksh (goal of Self/God-realization). The Atharvaveda described Ayodhya as "a city built by Gods and being prosperous as paradise itself." According to Jain Agamas, it is the second eternal city after Shikharji, and will never vanish or disappear during the changing epochs. It is also celebrated by Hindus as the First of their sevenMoksh-Daayini Teerthas (Fords of Liberation), viz., Ayodhya, Mathura, Maya (Haridwar), Kashi, Kanchi, Avantikapuri (Ujjain) and Dwaravati. This elevated status of this Ford of Liberation justifies its having the freedom to securely observe its practices under the presiding presence of Bhagwan Sri Ram and the great Tirthankaras as prompted by this country’s Rishi-Krishi Culture (Kulaachaar), without disturbance.   
DHARMA SANSAD RESOLUTION ON GOW-RAKSHA
4. In view of our tradition and also Article 48 of the Directive Principles of State Policy of the Constitution of Bharat that reads: “The State shall endeavour to organise agriculture and animal husbandry on modern and scientific lines and shall, in particular, take steps for preserving and improving the breeds, and prohibiting the slaughter, of cows and calves and other milch and draught cattle” as also Clause (g) of Art. 51A (Fundamental Duties as enunciated in the Constitution of Bharat) asks us “to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures”, the Dharma Sansad demanded a Bill for a Central Law for preserving our Gow-Dhan – which is complete ecology and a celebrated partner of man for the cause of his sustainable and nature & life friendly model of development – and asked for a total ban on the slaughter of cow & its progeny. According to survey statistics, the indigenous cow species may be totally extinct within 20 years, and it is thus a matter of grave concern for the Mahatmas and our future generations. The Dharma Sansad passed a unanimous Resolution for Cow Protection.

DHARMA SANSAD RESOLUTION ON GANGA-RAKSHA
5. As our tradition says and as enunciated in Article 51A (Fundamental Duties in the Constitution of Bharat) asking us to take care of the ‘heritage’ and ‘rivers’ of our country, the Dharma Sansad demanded to save our National & Divine River Ganga just as our National Honour, Emblems, Names, etc., are protected under specific National Codes and Acts. The Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda join to form the blessed perennial river Ganga that runs right up to Ganga-Sagar in Bay of Bengal. The government interference on the uninterrupted flow of the Ganga and the draining of toxic and lethal industrial and city effluents into it has now made its holy water (that once had no expiry date) unworthy of even Achamanam. It is a matter of grave concern for Mahatmas as the Ganga is the soul of our great Rishi-Krishi Culture and Motherland. The Dharma Sansad passed a unanimous Resolution for Ganga-Raksha, i.e., for the restoration of theNationalRiver to its clean and uninterrupted status.

DHARMA SANSAD RESOLUTION ON “HINDU AATANKVAD –
Muslim Vote Bank Ko Aakarshit karne ka ek Ghrinit Hathiyar”
6. Hindus are Nationalists and not ‘terrorists’ or ‘communalists’. The Central Home Minister disparaged Hindus with baseless allegations of being ‘Hindu Terrorists’, ‘Saffron Terrorists’, etc. Such irresponsible, inflammatory remarks prove that he is unfit to be Home Minister of the country. The Dharma Sansad demanded that he should immediately be removed from this post and the Government of India should apologise to the Hindu society for his unfounded allegations. The Dharma Sansad also demanded that all the Governments of the country should withdraw all policies and projects that practice ‘appeasement’ politics, and bring about a Common Civil Code so that the fruits of all developmental plans and projects are enjoyed by all citizens. Neither ‘Tiraskaar’ nor ‘Puraskaar’ (appeasement) but ‘Pariskaar’ is our indigenous approach. The Dharma Sansad passed a unanimous Resolution addressing this matter.

DHARMA SANSAD RESOLUTION ON “MAHILA SURAKSHA”
7. Clause (e) of Article 51A (Fundamental Duties) of the Constitution of Bharat asks the people “to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women”. But, unfortunately, today the market forces have undermined their ‘dignity’ and made them a marketable commodity. Further our ‘secular’ Governments and the modern education systems promote the erroneous notion that we are ‘Dharma-Nirpeksh’, those who have nothing to do with ‘Dharma’. But the Bharatiya genius appreciates that ‘Dharma’ stands on the four principles of austerity (tapas), cleanliness (saucha), compassion (daya) and truthfulness (satya). We are at a loss to understand how anyone has the temerity to ask us to give up all or any one of these universal principles of humanism. We cannot, therefore, be ‘Dharma-Nirpeksh’ but ‘Dharm-Saapeksh’. We assert that Bharat should be declared a ‘Spiritual’ country and not a ‘secular’ country. The grain of spirituality can build bridges across various schools of religion that have roots in the country as well as those that have their roots outside the country. The Dharma Sansad Resolution on “Mahila Suraksha” demanded the teaching of morality and ethics in all levels of education, a ban on undignified depiction of women in the media, implementation of the Verma Committee recommendations (including the recommendations pertaining to politicians), capital punishment to rapists, 16 years of age instead of 18 should be taken as the age for a major, so that a criminal cannot be exempt from the law by virtue of minor/juvenile status.  
ALARMING FALL IN HINDU DEMOGRAPHY AFTER INDEPENDENCE
8. The Dharma Sansad also discussed the alarming fall in the graph of Hindu demography after independence due to large scale conversions to Islam and Christianity, non-acceptance of the Common Civil Code by Muslims, and infiltration of over 30 million Bangladeshi Muslims into Bharat, as a matter of very great concern. Survey Experts on Demographic Studies and patterns have predicted that if such trends and conditions continue, within 50 years Hindus in Akhand Bharat would be reduced to a minority. The Dharma Sansad urged upon the Government of India to bring about a Common Civil Code to address the issue of our country’s Demography. The agenda of ‘Family Planning’ should be implemented in case of either one and all or none at all. Just as Muslims accept the country’s Common Criminal Code, they, along with all citizens should be accountable to the Common Civil Code.  The Dharma Sansad also urged the GOI to effectively address the issue of infiltration of Muslims into Bharat.
PLIGHT OF HINDU TEMPLES AT THE HANDS OF ‘SECULAR’ GOVERNMENTS
9.  The Dharma Sansad also discussed deplorable plight of Hindu Temples at the hands of ‘secular’ governments. Thousands of Hindu temples and their Devottar-Sampatti – assets of the presiding Deities worth billions of rupees – have been taken over by the Endowment Boards. The Dharma Sansad demanded that all the properties and assets attached to the temples prior to their take over should be handed over to the Hindu society. The Mahatmas felt that the misappropriation of the resources and management of Hindu Temples by the ‘secular’ Governments is unconstitutional, and a grave crime against Hindu Dharma which must be addressed. 
NATION’S TRYST WITH DESTINY
10. The nation is once again at the threshold of its proverbial tryst with destiny. The odds are heavy and staggering. But, it is on such occasions that the mettle of the nation is put to test. May we recall the beckoning words of our famous Sant-Sipahi (Saint-Soldier) and great national hero Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj – “Shubh Karman Te Kabahoon Na Taron” (I may never desist from noble deeds!) 
Wishing you God-speed in the service of the Motherland!

म्यांमार में दो ही बच्चे पैदा कर सकते हैं मुसलमान

म्यांमार में दो ही बच्चे पैदा कर सकते हैं मुसलमान

Updated on: Thu, 30 May 2013 04:48 PM (IST)
only two child norm for muslims in myanmar
म्यांमार में दो ही बच्चे पैदा कर सकते हैं मुसलमान
यंगून। म्यांमार के राखाइन प्रदेश में एक नया सरकारी आदेश जारी किया गया है। इस आदेश के तहत यहां रहने वाले रोहिंग्या मुसलमान सिर्फ दो ही बच्चे पैदा कर सकते हैं।
गौरतलब है कि यह आदेश सिर्फ मुस्लिमों के लिए ही है, इन इलाकों में रहने वाले बौद्ध परिवारों के लिए नहीं। धर्म के आधार पर जनसंख्या वृद्धि रोकने वाला यह दुनिया का पहला सरकारी आदेश माना जा रहा है। इस आदेश के बाद यहां की सरकार पर मुस्लिमों से भेदभाव करने का आरोप लग रहा है।
शनिवार को जारी इस आदेश के दायरे में फिलहाल राखाइन प्रांत के दो कस्बे आते हैं। बुथीडांग और मौनदा नाम के ये कस्बे बांग्लादेश से लगी सीमा पर स्थित हैं। राज्य में मुस्लिमों की सबसे ज्यादा आबादी इन्हीं दो जगहों पर है। अगर पूरे देश की बात की जाए, तो म्यांमार की छह करोड़ की आबादी में मुस्लिम चार फीसद हैं।
इस आदेश के बारे में सरकारी प्रवक्ता ने कहा कि इसका मकसद मुस्लिमों की तेजी से बढ़ती संख्या पर काबू पाना है। उन्होंने कहा कि सरकार ने जब हालिया नस्लीय हिंसा की जांच की, तो पाया कि मुस्लिमों की आबादी में तेजी से बढ़ोतरी टकराव का एक बड़ा कारण है। विन ने आंकड़ों का हवाला देते हुए कहा कि राखाइन में रहने वाले बौद्धों के मुकाबले मुस्लिमों की जनसंख्या बढ़ोतरी की दर 10 गुना ज्यादा है।
गौरतलब है कि राखाइन प्रांत में एक साल पहले नस्लीय हिंसा शुरू हुई थी। टकराव राखाइन के बौद्धों और रोहिंग्या मुस्लिमों के बीच हुआ था। इस दौरान हथियारों से लैस बौद्धों ने मुस्लिमों के हजारों घर जला दिए थे। इस हिंसा में सैकड़ों लोग मारे गए थे और लगभग सवा लाख मुस्लिमों को पलायन के लिए मजबूर होना पड़ा था।

श्रवण कुमार

धन्य हैं श्रवण कुमार, गदगद हैं माता-पिता  

Shravan Kumar of 21st Century, Carrying his parents on his shoulders
धन्य हैं श्रवण कुमार, गदगद हैं माता-पिता
गोवर्धन। कंकड़-पत्थरों से पैरों में उभरे छालों ने कदम-कदम इम्तिहान लिया। सूर्य के प्रचंड तेवर बाधाएं डालने की कोशिश करते रहे, लेकिन श्रवण कुमार का रास्ता न रोक सके। बूंद-बूंद टपकते पसीने से एक इतिहास रचते हुए माता-पिता का ये भक्त अपने बूढ़े मां-बाप को कांधों पर लाद कर ब्रज भूमि में तीरथ कराने ले ही आया। माता-पिता गदगद थे और सभी की जुबां पर एक ही बात, धन्य है श्रवण कुमार।
यह त्रेता युग के श्रवण कुमार का प्रेरक प्रसंग नहीं। वह नजारा है, जो बुधवार को ब्रज चौरासी कोस के परिक्रमा मार्ग में हजारों श्रद्धालुओं ने देखा। फूलों से सजी बग्घी और उसमें बैठे बुजुर्ग दंपती, लेकिन बग्घी में घोड़े की जगह खुद एक युवक जुता था। यह थे गौतमबुद्ध नगर के गांव सुनपुरा के रहने वाले परशुराम, जो बग्घी से अपने मां-बाप को ब्रज चौरासी कोस की यात्रा कराने आए थे।
पेशे से टीवी मैकेनिक परशुराम ने बताया कि वह 2 मई को अपने गांव से निकले। सातवें दिन बुधवार को गोवर्धन पहुंच गए। परशुराम ने जागरण को बताया कि श्रवण कुमार को अपना आदर्श मानकर उन्होंने अपने माता-पिता को ब्रजयात्रा कराने का प्रण लिया। कांवड़ से तो ब्रज यात्रा नहीं करा पाए, लेकिन बग्घी में बैठाकर वह अपने माता-पिता की सेवा कर रहे हैं। क्या माता-पिता ने ऐसी इच्छा व्यक्त की थी? इस सवाल पर परशुराम ने बताया कि ऐसा कुछ नहीं था। हम तो अपनी मर्जी से ऐसा कर रहे हैं।
इससे पहले श्रवण ने सावन के महीने में माता-पिता को इसी प्रकार हरिद्वार की यात्रा भी करा चुके हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि गोवर्धन से वह मथुरा, वृंदावन, गोकुल, महावन आदि ब्रज चौरासी कोस के तीर्थ स्थलों की यात्रा अपने माता-पिता को कराकर वापस गांव जाएंगे। तीर्थ यात्रा पूरी होने के बाद उनका विचार श्रीमद् भागवत कथा कराने का है। उसके उपरांत भंडारा कर वह अपनी यात्रा का संकल्प पूरा करेंगे।
संकल्प में साथ चला परिवार :
परशुराम ने इस सेवा भाव में परिवार को भी शुमार किया है। पत्नी प्रेमदेवी और बच्चे जौनी व लवली भी साथ चल रहे हैं। परशुराम बग्घी खींचते रहते हैं और परिवार के सदस्य उन्हें कभी पानी पिलाते हैं तो कभी पसीना पौंछ कर पुण्य संकल्प में भागीदार बनते हैं।
कलियुग के श्रवण को सूर्य का
नमस्कार :
परशुराम अपनी माता संतोष देवी और पिता जगदीश को लेकर ब्रज चौरासी कोस की यात्रा पर निकले तो सूर्य देव को अपना हठ छोड़ना पड़ा। बुधवार को दोपहर में ऐसी छांव हो गई, जैसे सूर्यदेव परशुराम की माता-पिता के प्रति भक्ति को प्रणाम कर रहे हों। श्रीमद् भागवत को भी साथ लेकर चल रहे परशुराम कोकिला वन, नंदगांव और बरसाना होते हुए गिरिराज तलहटी आए।
बेटे को जन्म देकर धन्य हुए हम :
परशुराम की माता संतोष देवी और पिता जगदीश इस यात्रा के दौरान गदगद नजर आए। उनका कहना था कि वो अपने बेटे की भक्ति से गदगद हैं। ऐसे बेटे को जन्म देकर वो धन्य हो गए।
मां के लिए बनाया खास घड़ी :
मां की कमजोर होती नजर से दुखी बेटे ने अनोखा घड़ी तैयार किया है जिससे उसकी मां आसानी से समय देख सकें। उत्तर प्रदेश में सरकारी कर्मचारी के तौर पर कार्यरत फिरोजाबाद निवासी सुनील सक्सेना ने 54 इंच व्यास वाले एक घड़ी को डिजाइन किया है जिससे उनकी मां को समय देखने में सहूलियत हो सकें।

NAGPUR: RSS annual Sangh Shiksha Varg to conclude on June 6th, Bhagwat to address Valedictory

NAGPUR: RSS annual Sangh Shiksha Varg to conclude on June 6th, Bhagwat to address Valedictory

NAGPUR May 25: Continuing its long tradition, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is conducting a special month-long camp at its headquarters here for those desiring to work as its full-time activists. With changing times, the course has now been condensed to a 25-day affair, in which a total of 612  select Swayamsevaks are participating from 41 Pranths of 11 Kshethras.
Dr Krishna Gopal, Saha-Sarakaryavah of RSS inaugurates Sangh Shiksha Varg-2013 at Maharshi Vyasa Mandir, Nagpur.

For committed activists, who get their initial first two years of training at their work locations, the third year camp at Nagpur, that too when summer is in full blast here, has always been a challenge. But that has never deterred them, and this year too Swayamsevaks from all parts of the country, some of them doctors, engineers and self-employed professionals are participating in the camp, which is marked by strict discipline. Swayamsevaks from USA, UK and Nepal also attending the camp.
Varg Karyavah, (Deputy chief of the camp) Sri Vithal Rao Kamble from Navi Mumbai, however, denied that attendance had shrunk. “Departing from earlier norms, this year only those with three-four years’ of Sangh experience, and especially those carrying out some responsible work, have been chosen. These participants are in the age group of 18 to 40. A separate camp is conducted for higher age groups in November,” Kamble told reporters at Reshimbagh’s Smruti Mandir complex. Sri Pawan Kumar Jindal, a businessman and RSS functionary from Haryana, is the Varg Sarvadhikari overall in-charge of the camp
A day at the camp typically begins at the crack of dawn. Drills, physical education and lectures on Hindu values and traditions are necessary part of the raining, said Kamble. Asked if the course structure has evolved over the years, Kamble said newer topics like environment protection have been introduced. But there are no courses on political issues or even good governance.
Among the 612 attending the camp this year are 13 engineers and 11 doctors, 133 teachers, 19 lawyers, 72 self-employed, 81 employed, 51 farmers, six journalists, 17 professors, 64 pracharaks (full time RSS workers) and 71 students. Only 42 of them are from 18-20 age brackets while 146 are in 21-25 age group. The largest chunk of 275 is from 31-40 age group. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will address the valedictory function on June 6 at 6.30pm.

RSS Third Year Training Camp begins at Nagpur
NAGPUR, May 13: “We are committed to bring about a new transformation in the society, nay in the entire world. Anything new is not created sans pains and toil. Even a new birth is not without labor pains. We have come here to tone up our body, mind and intellect to become the vehicles of that change the entire humanity is awaiting eagerly. Let us utilize each moment in this camp to transform ourselves first”, said  Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sah-Sarkaryawah K C Kannan here on Monday.
Delivering his inaugural address after the formal opening of the 25-days long RSS Third Year Sangh Shiksha Varg (Training camp) at the serene ambience at Maharshi Vyas Sabhagrih in Reshambag premises Kannan, who will be ‘guardian adhikari’ for the camp,  exhorted the 600-odd participants drawn from all over the country to learn and acquire as much as they can during the period of training camp so that they can tame their physical, psychological, intellectual and spiritual strength to become the agents of change the RSS desired to usher in the near future.
In his almost an hour-long spellbinding address in chaste Hindi with typical southern accent Kannan all the swayamsevaks coming to Nagpur in the summer for the training have to live and learn the techniques of the organizations in a special atmosphere and situation. The temperatures sore during the summer to new heights, language might be a problem for those who were not familiar with Hindi, and food might be not upto the taste. But braving all these odds the RSS swayamsevaks come here to perform their ‘sadhana’ or penance to prepare them for the service of the society and motherland, he said.
Delving deep into the history of such training camps, he said that presently a number of facilities are made available to the swayamsevaks as compared to the early days to make their stay bearable. But expected from all the participating swaysmsevaks that they would devote wholeheartedly to learn and acquire all that knowledge that would be imparted to them during the 25-day camp.
“We should participate in each and every activity here considering it as a worship of the God”, he said. Kannan also exhorted the swaysmsevaks to experience the inherent unity by mixing with their counterparts coming from different regions, and speaking different tongues. “We say that India is one and boast in our ‘Unity in Diversity’. Here is the chance for you to experience that unity”, he said urging them to take proper advantage of this opportunity to know and imbibe the percepts of different languages.
Referring to the discipline of the camp the RSS Sah-Sarkarywah said that the discipline here is an instrument of enriching our lives for the cause of our motherland.
Earlier, the camp was formally opened by lighting the traditional lamp by Dr Krishna Gopal, Sah-Sarkaryawah of RSS, Pawan Jindal, Sarvadhikari of the camp, Vitthal Kamble, Karyawah and K C Kannan. Dr Krishna Gopal introduced the various adhikaris of the camp.
The inaugural session was attended among others by RSS Akhil Bharatiya Sharirik Shikshan Pramukh Anil Oke, his deputy Jagadish, All India Bouddhik Pramukh Bhagayya, his deputy Mahavir, Sampark Pramukh Hastimal, Shankar Lal, Balkarishna Tripathi, Dr Shankar Tatwavadi, senior pracharak Rambhau Bondale, Ramnarain, Vidarbha Prant Sahsanghchalak Ram Harkare, and western region RSS sahkaryawah Dr Ravindra Joshi.

Self styled 'Peer' Gulzar Bhat arrested for 'raping' 4 minors in Budgam

Self styled 'Peer' Gulzar Bhat arrested for 'raping' 4 minors in Budgam


Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) : Police has arrested a person in Budgam district for allegedly raping four minor girls who were studying in his institute.Giving details, a police spokesman said, “Police Budgam received a joint complaint by four minor girls, who were studying in an institute, claiming to preach religious teachings and headed by Gulzar Ahmed Bhat, son Ghulam Qadir Bhat, resident of Latter Chadur (Shamasabad) Khansahib. In the complaint they alleged that they have been repeatedly sexually exploited during their stay in the institute.”
The spokesman added that a case FIR No: 40/2013 u/s 376 RPC stands registered in police station Khan Sahib and the investigations are going in full swing. “The statements of the victims have been recorded before the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Budgam which corroborates the complaint. The victims have also been medically examined. The victims belong from different districts of the valley. The investigation reveals that the above said institute is running from last several years; the boarding and lodging is being provided to the students by the head of the institute.”
Police Budgam is gathering further evidence into the matter and some more revelations are expected. The accused has been arrested.
Meanwhile a local news agency CNS adds : Police has arrested self-styled preacher Gulzar Ahmed Bhat aka Syed Gulzar from his Nendwanpora residence on Tuesday.
As per the statement Gulzar Bhat allegedly used to lure girls and woman and later on with the help of some others assaulted them sexually.
Gulzar had established an institute on the pretext of providing religious teaching at Nendwanpora area of Budgam with lodging and boarding facilities especially for girl students. Hundreds of girls are lodged in the institute.
A noted cleric of International Khatam-e-Nabuwat Molvi Mohammad Amin told CNS that scores of girl approached the organization. “We were shocked after girls made startling revelations. One of the victims claimed that Gulzar has turned that centre into a sex-cabin.,” he said.
Sources said that Gulzar Ahmed Bhat had divorced his wife in 1993. “He is an illiterate person but with the help of some unknown persons he abruptly established a well organized centre in Budgam and motivated people especially the parents of poor and helpless girls to get their girls admitted in their centre,” one of the locals told CNS.
The wrong doings of Gulzar came to light after his photographs surfaced on social networking site Facebook a few days ago in which he can be seen surrounded by women with a cigarette in his hand. His followers at that time had claimed that the woman holding “Peer” by her hand was his relative.
Deputy Inspector General Central Kashmir Afhadul Mujtaba told CNS that more arrests are expected in this regard. “We have not arrested a Molvi but an impostor who used to exploit girls sexually. So far only four girls have come forward against him and we have started the investigation,” Mujtaba said.
Superintendent of Police, Budgam, Uttam Chand said stern action will be taken against the guilty for exploiting poor and helpless girls. SHO Khansahab, Ghulam Jeelani said that Gulzar as per the statements recorded before the court seems to be rapist. “We have arrested him and investigation is on,” he said.

Stockholm is burning : Why the Swedish riots bode ill for Europe

Stockholm is burning : Why the Swedish riots bode ill for Europe

May 30, 2013 

Vaishakh Krushnapaksha Shashthi, Kaliyug Varsha 5115
By Harold Maass
 
Rampaging immigrant youths have upended the country's reputation as a prosperous refuge
Stockholm is burning. Yes, Stockholm, the Swedish capital, is in flames, after hundreds of immigrant youths rampaged through the streets for four straight nights, torching cars and buildings, hurling rocks through windows, and attacking police.
The chaotic scenes are at odds with Sweden's reputation as a liberal model of prosperity, social security, and openness. The riots reportedly started in reaction to Swedish police killing a 69-year-old machete-wielding man earlier this month. But the ferocity and duration of the violence has shocked locals, who say they're at a loss to explain it.
"It's difficult to say why they're doing this," Selcuk Cekenhe, who works at a youth center in one of the affected suburbs, tells NBC News. "Maybe it's anger at the law and order forces, maybe it's anger at their own personal situation, such as unemployment or having nowhere to live."
 
Some analysts say the explosion this week has exposed an ugly side of Sweden that has long festered beneath the surface. Niklas Pollard and Philip O'Connor of Reuters say Sweden's generous welfare model — with its 480 days of parental leave for each child — has overshadowed deep resentment between native-born "haves" and newly arrived "have nots."
Some 15 percent of the population is foreign born, the highest in the Nordic region. The rise of the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats party, which has called for a curfew in response to the violence, has polarized Swedes.
Metros and trains out of Stockholm center late at night are full of exhausted-looking Arabic or Spanish speaking immigrants returning home from menial jobs. Even second generation immigrants struggle to find white collar employment.
As one Asian diplomat puts it: "On the one hand Sweden has all these immigrants. On the other hand, where are they? It sometimes seems they are mostly selling hotdogs."
The worst of the rioting — Sweden's worst unrest in years — has occurred in heavily immigrant neighborhoods, mainly the Husby suburb of Stockholm. According to Elias Groll at Foreign Policy, this indicates that the violence is "clearly a symptom of Sweden's failed effort to integrate its massive immigrant population."
Housing segregation is rampant in the country, and Husby is a case study in how immigrant populations have come to dominate Stockholm's outer suburbs... Depending on your political perspective, native-born Swedes have either fled Husby or been pushed out by immigrants:
 
Husby also suffers from rampant unemployment — a problem that is particularly acute for its youth. Nearly 30 percent of the city's young people are neither employed nor actively enrolled in school, a number that mirrors a broader trend of immigrant underemployment relative to the native-born population.
The government's response doesn't appear to be helping matters. Witnesses say riot police — wielding clubs and leading snarling dogs — have hurled racial insults at the rioters, calling them "monkeys" and "rats."
"I can understand the police officers were stressed, but this language is unacceptable, and unfortunately nothing new," Rami al-Khamisi, a law student, told The Local.
Khamisi said the government's heavy-handed response is unlikely to restore calm. "We're seen as a problem that politicians want to solve by sending more police," he said. "This is not a solution we agree with."
