Never have words rung more true !

[CoHNA (Coalition of Hindus of North America) @CoHNAOfficial]

🚨 BREAKING: Authorities have reportedly foiled a potential mass shooting at a Hindu temple in the greater Chicago area.

A 19-year-old white supremacist was reportedly found possessing an AR-style rifle and 300 rounds of ammunition, allegedly planning to kill as many people as possible.

This disturbing plot comes as Hindus gather in large numbers to celebrate Navratri, and just two weeks after an attack on a Hindu temple in Ohio.

Hindu temples and all houses of worship must be sanctuaries of peace, prayer, and solace — NEVER targets of hate, violence, or terror.

We thank law enforcement for their swift action in averting what could have been an unspeakable tragedy.

We urge elected officials and law enforcement agencies to take the growing threats against Hindu places of worship seriously, strengthen protections, and unequivocally condemn Hinduphobia.

We also call on temples and community organizations to review their security measures, remain vigilant, and promptly report suspicious activity.

The freedom to worship without fear is a fundamental American right. It must be protected.

चिरकाल हुआ सुख छूट गया॥

यह भारत स्वर्ग-सहोदर है॥

THE LAST DAY OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

4 July 1902. Belur Math.

Swami Vivekananda was only 39.

This is how his final day unfolded.

Early Morning

Swamiji woke early and went to the shrine.

He appeared unusually cheerful and well. He ate some fruit, drank milk and joked with his brother monks.

Around 8:30 am

He asked Swami Premananda to prepare his meditation seat.

He then asked to be left alone.

The doors and windows were closed. Swamiji meditated for nearly three hours.

11:00 am

He came out of meditation singing a song to Mother Kali.

As he walked in the courtyard, Premananda heard him say something extraordinary.

“If there were another Vivekananda, he would have understood what Vivekananda has done. And yet, how many Vivekanandas shall be born in time.”

Around Noon

Unlike many other days, Swamiji ate with the other monks.

He was hungry and ate heartily. After lunch he rested for barely fifteen minutes.

Then he got up.

“A monk should not sleep during the day. Come, let us study.”

1:00 pm to 4:00 pm

For almost three hours, Swami Vivekananda taught Sanskrit grammar to the young Brahmacharins.

It was no solemn final class.

He joked, told stories and turned the lesson into an afternoon of laughter.

Nobody around him knew that their teacher had only a few hours left.

Late Afternoon

He drank warm milk and went for a long walk with Swami Premananda towards Belur market.

His health had been poor for months.

Yet that evening he walked without difficulty.

They discussed many things, including his dream of establishing a Vedic college.

Around 5:00 pm

He returned to the Math and sat beneath a mango tree near the Ganga.

He talked with the monks.

Later he asked for a cup of tea.

7:00 pm

The bell rang for evening worship.

Swamiji went upstairs to his room.

He asked for his rosary and told the attendant not to disturb him.

Then he began to meditate.

Around 7:45 pm

He called the attendant back.

He asked him to open the windows because he felt warm.

Swamiji lay down.

The rosary was still in his hand.

He asked the attendant to massage his feet.

And then came the final moments.

Around 9:10 pm

His breathing became deep.

His hand trembled.

He took another deep breath.

His head moved on the pillow.

And Swami Vivekananda was gone.

He had once said:

“I shall not live to be forty.”

He was 39 years, 5 months and 22 days old.

The next day his body was taken to the bank of the Ganga at Belur Math.

Sister Nivedita sat beside her Guru in grief.

His mother Bhuvaneswari Devi came to see her Naren for the last time.

Swami Vivekananda was cremated at the spot beside the Ganga that he himself had reportedly pointed out only days earlier.

[Just three days earlier, while walking with Swami Premananda on the grounds of Belur Math, Swamiji had pointed towards a particular spot beside the Ganga and said:

“When I give up the body, cremate it there.”]

Today the Swami Vivekananda Temple at Belur Math stands there.

He had also once said that leaving the body would not end his work.

He lived for only 39 years. But those 39 years were enough to awaken a civilisation.

In the Tarun Tejpal case, first of all, a massive salute to the survivor warrior, who took on not only her powerful boss, but all the other powerful friends he had and an entire ecosystem. The lady symbolizes guts and courage of another level.

Second, rape and sexual assault is not left wing, right wing, it is ideologically agnostic.

Pains me to see Anurag Kashyap(not once, but twice) dismiss the charges made by the then victim.

Newslaundry went thousands steps further in bringing shame to themselves. Abhinandan Sekhri's sister in an article somewhere around 2015, 2 to 3 yrs after the sexual assault, shamed the victim, in an entire article, where she relentlessly in every single line punched and humiliated her. Dragged her, kicked her, and then punched her, with each word acting like a barrel of a gun.

To the Warrior Survivor, you are a Hero. 🫡

Hi @NHAI_Official

Why have you awarded two projects worth ₹3483 crores to the same PNC infratech which you are planning to declare as "non performer" for its shoddy execution of ₹4700 Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway? If this is not corruption, what is?

समाज की दशा बताने वाली खबर

मुंबई में बड़े कपड़ा व्यापारी रहे शिवचरण रामरत्न गुप्ता (74) की हरियाणा के सोनीपत स्थित एक वृद्धाश्रम में मौत हो गई। वे पिछले तीन साल से आश्रम में रह रहे थे। दो साल पहले उनकी पत्नी का भी इसी आश्रम में निधन हुआ था। मंगलवार को आश्रम प्रबंधन ने उनकी मौत की सूचना उनकी तीनों टीचर बेटियों को दी।

आश्रम संचालक आनंद कुमार के अनुसार, बेटियों ने ऑनलाइन 5100 रुपए भेजकर अंतिम संस्कार सोनीपत में ही कराने के लिए कहा। जब मुखाग्नि देने की बात उठी तो उन्होंने वीडियो कॉल के जरिए पूरी प्रक्रिया दिखाने को कहा।

Want to know what corruption looks like!

A stretch of the Lucknow-Agra Expressway was built by PNC infratech. In 2018, UP Government awarded a bonus of ₹58 crores to PNC infratech, a company owned by brother of BJP Rajya Sabha MP Naveen Jain, for its early completion. Within 6 months of awarding the bonus, an SUV plunged into a 50-foot-deep ditch after a service road of the expressway caved in. Same company was awarded contact to construct to the Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway.

Namaste, Ma'am...Aapko 1 story sunata hoon....

In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.

"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."

The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.

5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.

He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.

By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.

He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"

He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.

He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.

In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.

Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.

That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...

The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...

The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...

His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti.
