The satsang today had two talented youngsters showcasing their achievements!

A 9 year old polyglot recited verses, with their meanings, from the Bhagavad Gita, which he memorized when he was just 5. He is fluent in Hindi, English, Spanish, and Kannada, among others, with the ability to read and write 13 Indian scripts. He has also used AI to build a device that helps people learn the ancient text!

A 13 year old Intuition Process graduate demonstrated an app he built using AI in just 2 months that helps teenagers with studies, homework, getting tutored and building healthy habits.

Savarkar's entire family was left so ruined due to his rebellion against the British that when he was in cellular Jail, his wife who came from a wealthy family was forced to sell utensils for money. It was Madam Cama who helped her out
That man is beyond abuses or praises.

I'm late to this story and read it twice to be sure!

Beating Magnus Carlsen in 50 moves, casually saying "I'm done for the night," and going straight to sleep without bragging to your parents is elite-level ice in the veins.

​Huge congrats to 15-year-old Vandan Alankar Sawai on an absolute masterclass in both chess and pure teenage chill.

Imagine checking your kid's https://t.co/7NDYDHMsrz profile the next morning just to realise he casually took down the World No 1 while jet-lagged.

​Indian chess talent is genuinely built different! 🇮🇳

Sharing this excerpt from a whatsapp message because it is important 🙏

Gen Z or anyone else who goes for a holiday to J&K, Ladakh, North East etc must know...

It is a *strategically sensitive region* where tourism exists alongside security,

*not the other way around!!*

Military convoys do not roll because some officer woke up that morning and thought,

*“Let us ruin somebody’s holiday...”*

Movements are planned.
Routes are coordinated.
Timings matter.
Logistics matter.

*The mountains are not merely a backdrop for photographs.*

Those mountains have names written into military history.

*SOLDIERS FOUGHT THERE.… MANY OF THEM PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE*

527 soldiers gave their lives capturing the Kargil heights so that you can move there freely.

And all these 527 were also Gen Z*

And soldiers *still serve there*.

Do not stand in front of a soldier and say:

*“I PAY YOUR SALARY.”*

No - the belief that money paid to the Republic somehow places the Republic’s uniform beneath you… is totally wrong.

*IT DOESN’T.*

Paying income tax does not give you command authority over the Armed Forces.

And that certainly does not make national security subordinate to your holiday plans.

You waited few hours.

*Somebody else stood watch for months.*

You missed part of an itinerary.

*Somebody else missed birthdays, anniversaries, children growing up, and home.*

And while you eventually drove away from Kargil,

*HE STAYED.*

So no.

*You do not pay his salary.*

*You pay your taxes.*

*The soldier pays his own taxes and also pays for your security:*

*IN A CURRENCY FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MONEY.*

Jai Hind Ki Sena 🇮🇳

Evil is only a veil around the goodness of a person. Spoke with @TheoVon on shame, forgiveness, and what lies underneath both.

Nature’s fury has struck Nepal, impacting many lives. Let’s unite in prayer and support for all those affected and hope for a swift recovery for the nation.

इस समय नेपाल बड़ी आपदा का सामना कर रहा है। लापता यात्री और क्षति के बीच, हमें उन परिवारों के साथ खड़ा होना है। सब मिलकर प्रार्थना करें कि उन्हें शक्ति मिले।

To 'Dimagi Naxals', a ramp walk is an 'uncomfortable posture,' but a gun is 'Gandhi, but with guns.'

Tearing apart The Wire's narrative, an ex-Maoist said: 'I went by choice; I'd never seen such a big fashion event.'

You are entitled to your opinions as are the people of Maharashtra. Remember that the states were drawn on the basis of language and we Maharashtrians have payed for this with 106 lives. For us Marathi is more than what it means for you.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

The Bengaluru ashram came alive with the Gen Z vibe this afternoon. Lively performances, great music, and real conversations!
