During the ongoing conservation works by ASI at the Trimbakeshwar Temple, Nashik, a stone Shivalinga was discovered during the desilting of the temple’s historic water tank, locally known as Amrit Kund.
The Shivalinga was found at the bottom of the tank while removing accumulated silt and debris.
This remarkable discovery highlights how conservation efforts continue to reveal and preserve India’s rich cultural and sacred heritage.
Leaving for Seychelles, where I will take part in their National Day celebrations. This year, it is even more special because it is the Golden Jubilee celebrations.
Seychelles is a valued maritime neighbour and a key partner in our Vision MAHASAGAR, as well as in advancing the interests of the Global South. I look forward to discussions with my friend, Dr. Patrick Herminie, President of the Republic of Seychelles.
I am honoured to be addressing the National Assembly of Seychelles during the visit. I also look forward to meeting the Indian community there.

On behalf of our hard working employees of Zoho, I want to thank our beloved Prime Minister Modi-ji for mentioning us in his speech yesterday.
Sir, you inspire us to work harder, reach higher.
Bharat Mata ki Jai 🙏

Our rural school Kalaivani Kalvi Maiyam, which provides completely free education to rural children, faced delays getting approvals from the previous government. Of course, significant money was demanded and we were told that was the only way, even if it is a completely free school.
After @TVKVijayHQ came to power, approvals have happened quickly and automatically.
I am very happy to appreciate this positive development in our state. Thank you Thiru Vijay Avl for this refreshing change🙏
Delighted to meet Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, who is also the UN Secretary General's Special Advocate for Financial Health and a long-standing global voice for financial inclusion.
We discussed how India’s Digital Public Infrastructure led revolution is making financial services more accessible and affordable, while enhancing ‘Ease of Living’ and empowering people at scale.
India remains committed to sharing its experience with partner countries across the world.

The DMK ecosystem is attacking me that the school issue I reported was a lie I concocted to help the TVK government. Let me state the facts.
We run two rural schools, both free NIOS schools under the Kalaivani Kalvi Maiyam umbrella, one in rural Tenkasi and the other in rural Theni.
The Theni school was originally started and run by a retired IPS officer, a honest and upright man. He built very nice facilities but had to shut down his CBSE school because the state government demanded too much money to issue the NOC. He told me that as a honest retired officer he did not have the money to pay and they would not issue the NOC otherwise.
He urged us to take over his trust so we could run our free NIOS school in the premises. That is how we started our NIOS school in Theni.
Unlike in Tenkasi, where I live, the Theni school faced occasional harassment from the DMK government because we did not have a state government registration, so we tried getting state government approval again (this time for the state board) and that of course would also cost money. So it was in a limbo.
Meanwhile in Tenkasi we wanted to build new school facilities (we were operating in make-shift facilities, the ones that came in frequent photos) and we applied for DTCP approval to construct the new buildings. Everyone who knows DTCP in our state knows what kind of corruption happened there under the DMK.
We waited patiently for DTCP approval for the new school buildings but the approval never came as long as the DMK was in power. The approval came automatically once the government changed.
It is this DTCP approval that I posted about in X. I want to once again appreciate the refreshing change.
Not only did the approvals come, government people told us not to pay money to anyone for any approvals. I have to appreciate this in public, having endured what we had endured before.
This is the "lie" that DMK wants to attack me on.
I do not need their certificate on my character.
They can examine their conscience and ask why a technology nerd like me who is mostly immersed in code would post these.
If they think I would back down by their vile personal attacks because I am a Brahmin or TVK Stooge or Sanghi or whatever, I will tell them this: unlike you dynasts I grew up with nothing. I studied in Tamil medium schools. I know how to live on nothing. I have dedicated the remainder of my life to make Bharat self reliant in technology while reviving our rural areas, the soul of our eternal sanatana civilization.
I will not be intimidated by their attacks. I am unafraid of death, why would I be afraid of the mere DMK?
And if they had any conscience they can return the money they looted (they know there they keep it) and then they can attack my character.
I will now go back to optimizing the code of our compiler!
Happy Birthday, Gautam. To me, your life is a beautiful reminder of what can be achieved when immense vision is guided by a pure heart, and I am so proud to witness it every single day.
