बद्रीनाथ धाम में संगीत समारोह ( DJ concert) को अनुमति प्रदान करना ना केवल सांस्कृतिक मर्यादाओं का उन्लंघन है अपितु धाम की पवित्रता पर भी सीधा आघात है। आदि गुरु शंकराचार्य महाराज जी द्वारा इस धाम की स्थापना हिमालयी पर्यावरण मे शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से भगवत भजन के लिए की थी उल्लेखनीय है की इस स्थान पर शंख बजाना भी मना है परंतु हम उसे भूलकर शोर शराबे वाले संगीत कार्यक्रमों का आयोजन कर भारतीय आध्यात्मिक, सांस्कृतिक, पर्यावरणीय मूल्यों की घोर उपेक्षा तो कर ही रहे है साँथ में इतनी ऊचाई पर हजारों लोगो के नाचने से उनके स्वास्थ पर पड़ने वाले दुष्प्रभावों की भी उपेक्षा कर रहे है। यह इस बात का प्रतीक है कि अब देवभूमि को बाजारू संस्कृती के रूप में परिणीत किया जा रहा है।
मैं भारतीय संस्कृति के अनुयायीयों तथा विशेषकर पूजनीय शंकराचार्यों तथा महात्माओं से यह अनुरोध करता हूँ कि वह संस्कृति के इस क्षरण को रोकने के लिए प्रभावी आवाज उठाये, मैं केंद्र एवं राज्य सरकार से भी आग्रह करूँगा कि वह ऐसे आयोजनों पर प्रतिबंध लगा कर देवभूमि की मर्यादा को बनाये रखें,
हिमालय देवात्मा है भगवान शंकर का निवास माँ गंगा का उद्गम है इसे नाच ग्रह बनाना करोड़ो भारतीयों की आस्था पर गहरा आघात है।

There's a REASON why evn Shankh is forbidden in Badrinath Dham. That place has its own sanctity. And nw? DJs are blasting there. Club style music has a time & place. A sacred Teerth is NOT it. This govt's obsession to make every Dham a picnic spot is ruining the soul of Devbhumi.

A fragrant flower can only spread fragrance. Sometimes people behave badly because that is what they have inside. Can a happy person go and hit somebody? Impossible.

Decoding the known is science. Exploring the unknown is spirituality.

The test of your peace is only when there are obstacles. Be thankful for them.

More than 100 former Naxals visited the Bengaluru Ashram to embark on a spiritual journey.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

The name “Krishna” signifies absolute attraction. To overcome the illusions of the material world, one must find something far more captivating to focus on. Krishna is that ultimate attraction at every stage of life: a mischievous companion for children, a talented friend for the youth, a valiant hero for the courageous, “Yogeshwar” for seekers, a master strategist for leaders, and the source of ultimate wisdom for elders.

Everyone remembers the attack on the Mumbai railway station on 26/11, the gunmen walking the platforms, more than fifty people killed. Almost nobody remembers the announcer whose voice sent hundreds of strangers running the other way while the bullets were still flying.

His name is Vishnu Dattaram Zende.

On the night of 26 November 2008, he was on duty in the announcer's cabin at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, a raised glass room looking out over the platforms. It was near the end of his shift when he heard a loud blast and gunfire, and saw people running.

Two terrorists had walked into the busiest station in the country and begun shooting everyone in sight. At that station alone, they would kill more than fifty people.

From his cabin he could see the whole layout, and he understood something fast. Local trains were still pulling in, each one about to pour hundreds of passengers straight onto the platforms where the gunmen were standing.

He had a microphone that reached every platform. He decided to use it, even though it meant staying exactly where he was, in full view, instead of hiding.

He began making announcements, over and over, in Hindi and Marathi, telling people not to come to the main concourse, telling them to leave by the rear exits, warning them away from the guns.

Hundreds of people changed direction because of that voice and walked out of the station instead of into the bullets.

The terrorists worked out where the announcements were coming from. They came and stood almost directly below his cabin. One of them fired up toward him. He kept low, waited, and when he could, went back to the microphone.

He was an ordinary railway announcer on an ordinary shift. He had no weapon and no protection, just a mic and a clear view of what was coming. He stayed at his post and used the one tool he had to push strangers out of the path of the killers.

The men with the rifles are the names everyone remembers from that station. The voice that quietly saved hundreds of the people they came to kill belonged to Vishnu Zende.

Everyone knows the Uphaar cinema fire. Fifty nine people who went to watch a war film in Delhi and never came home.

Almost nobody knows that the safest man in that hall, the one person trained and calm enough to walk straight out, chose to stay inside until it killed him.

His name was Captain Manjinder Singh Bhinder.

On the thirteenth of June 1997, he was at the Uphaar cinema in Green Park watching Border, the film about the soldiers of Longewala. He was a real one.

An officer of the 61st Cavalry, a national level horseman who had just won gold at the National Games and was being talked about for the next Asian Games. He was there with his wife and his four year old son.

Partway through the film, a transformer in the building caught fire. Thick black smoke began filling the balcony. The exits were few, badly lit, and some were blocked. People had minutes, and most of them did not know which way to move.

He got his own family up and moving toward the way out, the way any man would.

And then he turned around and went back in.

He understood what a panicking crowd in the dark does. It bunches at the wrong doors, it freezes, it tramples itself. So he put himself in that stairwell and did the job he was trained to do.

He took charge. He steadied people. He guided women and children through the smoke toward the narrow passage that led out, group after group, breathing that air the whole time.

More than a hundred and fifty people got out of that cinema alive because a soldier stood in the dark and refused to leave until they did.

He did not get out. Neither did his wife. Neither did his little boy.

There is a Netflix series about the Uphaar fire. It is told, rightly, through the eyes of two parents who lost their children and spent decades fighting for justice. His name is not in it.

And there is one more thing the country should be made to sit with. After he died saving over a hundred and fifty of its citizens, his elderly parents had to fight the defence ministry for years for his pension, because a clerk's rule said he had not died fighting an enemy.

He walked out of that fire once, with his family, and he was safe. Then he heard the people still screaming inside, and he went back.

The voices of India’s youth deserve to be heard with patience. A breakdown in communication serves no one and is deeply unfortunate. Very sorry to see the current state of affairs.

Police have arrested this cook who was preparing food in the kitchen of Hotel Flourish Stays, where the fire reportedly started.

Next, they should arrest the vegetable, grocery, and dairy suppliers. Had they not supplied ingredients that day, there would have been no cooking and no fire.

After that, they should arrest the farmers who grew the vegetables, the factory owners who produced the grocery items, and the cows that gave the milk.

Sabko pakad lena. Kisi ko mat chhodna. Except, of course, the officials whose job it was to inspect such establishments and flag safety violations before a tragedy occurred.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

Sustainable growth is possible only when ecology is protected. Only a conscious person can find the balance between development and the preservation of nature. Someone who is anxious, stressed, or depressed doesn’t even take care of themselves. You can’t expect them to care for nature.

Every act in life is either an expression of happiness or an expectation of it. For the wise, it is an expression, not an expectation.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

For passion to have some degree of sanity, it must have contentment.

Contentment, to be distinguished from lethargy, must have some passion.

Seeing flaws drives action.

But to truly rest, see everything as perfect.

Intelligence is balancing activity with rest.

When you respect someone, it only shows your own magnanimity. Respectfulness is a quality of refined consciousness.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

Deepening the mystery of Creation is science. Deepening the mystery of the Self is spirituality. Science develops logic; spirituality develops intuition.
