Identity of Bharat as 'Spiritual Nation' will be re-created!

February 1, 2009

Magh Shuddha shashti

This union of Saints is a manifestation of God in His collective form and will cause flutter in the hearts of Hindu-haters!

Mumbai: Our country has been seized by terrorism. More than 150 saints who were present for the Sankalpa Sabha proclaimed that to defend the country from terrorism, the usual ‘secular’ image of he country will be replaced by ‘ spiritual nation’.The Sabha which was organized by ‘Dharma Raksha Manch’ here on Somaya Grounds was attended by 150000 proud Hindus.To realize this resolve whole country will be covered during the period 20th February to 20th March 2009. The attendees were guided in the direction of completion of the resolve by the brilliant speeches of the Saints present for the Sabha.

…then the change in power is a must!- H.H. Gyandasji Maharaj , Prsident, Akhil Bharatiya Akhada parishad

No sooner the America was attacked by the terrorists, the nation responsible for the thriving of terrorists was destroyed by her. Here we are just supplying the evidences! We do not want such a widowed administration at the centre. If we want to root out such evils as terrorism,religious coversions etc then a change in the power is a must.

Even the likes of Ravan and Kansa could not destroy Sanatan then how can this government destroy it!- Sadhvi Ritambara

Do not think that Sanatan is under distress because of impure motives of government. How can Sanatan which was not destroyed by the orders of Ravan and Kansa, be destroyed by the present era government? The country is under the grip of materialistic storm. The youth of the nation is searching for peace in the wine bottle. We left the path of spirituality while running after the science. However the saints have preserved the country and its culture solely by the strength of their spiritual practice. Today the saints have united to kindle the dormant vitality of the nation. How long can we go on sacrificing? The lineage of Takshaks and Rakshasas should not thrive in this country fro now onwards. Therefore O Hindus, let us make a resolve through the medium of this Sabha that the , the ruling power should not be secular, there should not be appeasement policy, streams of human blood should not flow and the power should not be in the hands of weak.

Remember the might of Sri Ram and Sri Krishna!- H.H. Asaram Bapu

Whoever possesses adventure, courage, intelligence and valour realize their goal by overcoming the difficulties. Therefore we will have to remember the might of Sri Krishna and Shri Ram.

Why then the Muslims do not accept the Shariyat laws for punishments?- Shankaracharya Swami Ganga Dhiren

The Bharatiya Muslims should either return to their original religion that is Hinduism or should accept common civil code. If they are not ready for common civil code then when the question of punishment comes why do not they accept Shariyat law which is the height of cruelty?

First of all make a resolve to awaken the youth!- Jain Muni Saint Vimal Maharaj

We are scattered and hence have become weak. The land of Bharat being holy land we have to live for the preservation of her culture. The Saints and the doctrines of Dharma tell a common truth that when the people sleep, the King also goes to sleep. Hence our government is sleeping. Our educational culture has enhanced the Christian culture. There is not an iota of pride in the youth towards Dharma. Therefore first of all make a resolve to awaken the youth.

Saints’ march towards revolution!

Give us your youth and we will give you a ‘Spiritual Bharat’!- Swami Chinmayananada

We are ashamed of all the political parties who have failed to solve the problem of terrorism. Our history shows that whenever there were assaults on dharma, saints only too the initiative to defend the Dharma. Now also the saints have come forward to solve this menace of terrorism. To finish off this terrorism, We call the youth of today, ‘Give us your youth and we will give you a ‘Spiritual Bharat’. We do not want secular constitution, we want Spiritual nation. The day on which our Bharat will become a secular nation, it will be self sufficient and free.

Saints’ march towards revolution!

Bhagwan Sri Krishna had done such actions like taking weapons in hand, covering the sun even if they were against the rules. Saints also will have to do the same for defence of Dharma. Saints will not wear just Malas ( japmala or garlands)but are going to hold weapons We have not come for peace today but want revolution The media should stop defaming the Hindu dharma and should remove the word ‘Hindu terrorism ‘from their vocabulary. All the saints who were present on the stage reiterated their stand that Sadhvi Pradnya Singh Thakur is not considered by them as terrorist.

Saints’ call to all Hindus!

The organizer of Dharma Raksha Manch, H.H. Hansadas maharaj said,’ ‘ Dharmaraksha Manch is ready to take converted Hindus back into Hinduism. The God who was killed by stoning and submitting to the sharp point of a stake can not save you. In this land Sri Krishna is born to kill Kansa and Rama takes birth to kill Ravan. All the incarnations in our Vedic heritage have been destroying the evil throughout the yugas. How come Hindus are not ashamed to visit the Dargas of such Peers and prophets who did not have children in spite of having 20 marriages? Let all Hindus make resolve today that they will not visit the dargas. Don’t you now that our 33 crore deities are great?

Hindu Saints’ call to Muslims and Christians!

Muslim religious heads should take out Fatwa that Hindus are not Kafirs. This Land of Bharat is not Darul Harab. It is Holy. If Christian missionaries do not stop the wrong propaganda about Hindu Deities, they will be given answer in their own language.

Azamgarh clerics charter train to protest Batla House encounter

Islamic clerics of Azamgarh are leading a train-load of Muslims to the national capital New Delhi where they propose to stage a demonstration on Thursday to mark their protest against what they termed as "framing of local youth as terrorists" .

Their anger was particularly against the killing of four young men from Azamgarh in the Batla House encounter in New Delhi a few months back. And the protest rally is aimed at pressing their demand for a judicial probe into the incident.

And their feelings are so strong that the locally based Ulema Council has managed to raise Rs. 1.1 million to hire a 24-coach special train, titled 'Ulema Special', that will carry the group from Azamgarh to New Delhi on Wednesday evening.

"Our protest rally is slated for the Boat House at India Gate on Thursday," council convenor Maulana Aamir Rashadi said, just before embarking on his landmark journey from Azamgarh at noon on Wednesday.

"We want a judicial inquiry to be conducted by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court," he said.

Rashadi, who is known to have organised the entire show almost single-handedly, said , "It is high time the police puts brakes on their tendency to blame every terrorist act in the country on the youths from Azamgarh."

According to him, "each of the three young men, killed in the police encounter at Batla House, were clearly victims of this very approach of the cops; but this must end now."

While about 2,000 persons were stated to be on board the special train, a larger number of clerics and students from Delhi based madrasas were expected to join the demonstration.

Significantly, the passengers include the next of kin of the three youth -- Atif , Ameed and Chota Sajid -- who fell victim to police bullets in the Batla House encounter. Besides the family members of at least 10 others who were picked up from their homes in Serai Meer town in Azamgarh district and booked for the sensational terrorist strikes in Jaipur [Images], Delhi and Ahmedabad [Images] .

"Our objective is to make our voice heard across the country that the youth from Azamgarh is being targeted by the police of different states, who find it convenient to blame every terrorist attack anywhere on them," he pointed out.

Asked how he was able to fund a whole special train for which besides the booking amount of Rs.1.1 million, he had also made a security deposit of Rs.300,000, Rashadi shot back, "It is the people of Serai Meer and Azamgarh who have donated money out of their earnings."

Rashadi's Ulema Council was formed in November last year, shortly after cops started arresting youth from the district for their alleged terrorist nexus.

Significantly, his son Talha Amir was arrested by the Mumbai [Images] Anti-Terrorist Squad at the Nagpur railway station last month . The cops then claimed that Talha was the fourth "terrorist" who escaped from the Batla House, but eventually failed to produce any substantive evidence against him following which he was granted bail by a Maharashtra court earlier this month.

When asked whether it was his son's arrest that had prompted him to mobilise people for the Boat House protest rally in Delhi, Rashadi sought to clarify, "Certainly not; I had planned it more than a month before they picked up my son; though of course there is no doubt that he was also being implicated."

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh [Images] police was ensuring full security for the train that has to traverse across the eastern corner to the western tip of the sprawling state. "We have alerted every district to maintain a vigil all along the route of the train, which is scheduled to make the return journey from Delhi on Thursday night," said a police spokesman.

26x11: Bangladesh slams Pak

Saturday, 07 February , 2009, 11:50

p>Dhaka: Dhaka has strongly condemned a Pakistani investigation agency's claim of a Bangladesh-based terror outfit's involvement in the Mumbai terror attacks. "Militants and terrorists do not belong to any territory, country and nation. I am shocked at such a claim," The Daily Star on Saturday quoted Home Minister Sahara Khatun as saying. Pak investigators find Bangla link to 26x11 "We need your cooperation and suggestion. I can promise that I would try to root out terrorism, militancy and extortion even if I have to put my life on the line if you cooperate with us," the minister said at a college sports gathering. According to media reports from Islamabad, the Federal Investigation Agency has, in its report on the November 26-29, 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, alleged that they were planned by the Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami (HuJI). India blames ISI for Mumbai attacks The claim has been rubbished by Indian intelligence agencies and security analysts say that Pakistan is trying to divert attention from its own role and responsibility in the Mumbai attacks. Some 170 people were slaughtered in the mayhem when 10 terrorists who India says were Pakistanis sneaked into the city by sea and went on a killing spree. Full coverage: Mumbai terror attack Pakistan's claims have come even as India and Bangladesh prepare to discuss Dhaka's proposal for a regional task force on terrorism when Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee visits here next Monday

1/2 boy 1/2 man

1/2 boy 1/2 man

The average age of the army man is 19 years.
He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's, but he has never collected unemployment dole either.

He's a recent college graduate; he was probably an average student from one of the Kendriya Vidyalayas, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip -hop or country or gazals or swing and a 155mm howitzer.

He is 5 or 7 kilos lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting the insurgents or standing gaurd on the icy Himalayas from before dawn to well after dusk or he is at Mumbai engaging the terrorists. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must.

He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional.
He can march until he is told to stop, or stop until he is told to march.
He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. His pride and self-respect, he does not lack.

He is self-sufficient.
He has two sets of combat dress: he washes one and wears the other.
He keeps his water bottle full and his feet dry.
He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts.

If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low.

He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands.
He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job.
He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all.
He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime.

He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed.

He feels every note of the Jana Gana Mana vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hands from their pockets, or even stop talking.

In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful.
Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom.

Beardless or not, he is not a boy.
He is your nation's Fighting Man that has kept this country free and defended your right to Freedom. He has experienced deprivation and adversity, and has seen his buddies falling to bullets and maimed and blown.

But,

He has asked nothing in return, except our acknowledgement of his existence and understanding of his human needs.
Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.
And now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so.

As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot. . ..
A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their helmets.

Prayer wheel for our military... please don't break it Please send this on after a short prayer.

Prayer Wheel

'Lord, hold our Indian Army in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform
for us in our time of need.

Amen.'

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer
for our soldier, sailors , and airmen , in all frontiers
There is nothing attached...
This can be very powerful...
Of all the gifts you could give a Soldier, Sailor, or Airman,
prayer is the very best one.

I can't break this one, sorry.
Pass it on to everyone and pray for the Indian Soldier. And unlike your 'Babus' or 'Netas'

HE will always do you proud!!!

Press statement issued by Sri R V S Marimuthu and Dr M L Raja, the Presidents of South and North Tamil Nadu, RSS, respectively on 10^th Feb 2009

The ongoing war between the Sri Lankan Army and the Tamil rebels in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka has attracted global attention. It has been viewed in India with particular concern because of the news that more than 2.5 lakh Tamil civilians have got trapped in the war zone. Already, news of civilian casualties in large numbers in the last few weeks of the war has triggered widespread anguish and anxiety in India in general and in Tamil Nadu in particular. It may be remembered that as two sovereign nations India and Sri Lanka share an ethnic and cultural bond that dates back to millennia. People of both countries, especially the Tamils on both sides, have had close family and personal linkages.

Terrorism, in any form and under any disguise, is not acceptable in the modern democratic world. However, while tackling terror it must be ensured that the human cost of the war is minimal. Of particular concern is the situation of the civilians trapped in the battle-zones. News and pictures of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka clearly suggest that a large number of innocent civilians have been seriously affected by this war. Many lost their lives while many more were grievously injured.

The RSS appeals to the Sri Lankan Government that while delivering its sovereign responsibility of waging the war on terror, it must do its best to ensure that the life and limb of the civilian Tamil population is zealously protected. It also must do everything to safeguard the civil and political rights of the Tamils who are verily nationals of Sri Lanka and so must be treated as equal citizens.

It is time the Indian Government acted proactively and did utmost to ensure that the lives and rights of the civilian and loyal Tamil population of the Northern Sri Lanka are protected.

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. This story teaches two lessons: 1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day. 2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words... it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time The Power of Thoughts By Remez Sasson One day, a yogi and his disciple arrived to the big city. They had no money with them, but they needed food and a place to stay. The disciple was sure that they were going to beg for their food, and sleep in the park at night. "There is a big park not far from here. We can sleep there at night", said the disciple. "In the open air?" Asked the yogi. "Yes", responded the student. The yogi smiled and said: "No, tonight we are going to sleep in a hotel and eat there too". The student was amazed. "How?" "Come and sit down", said the yogi. They both sat down on the ground and the yogi said: "When you focus your mind intently on any subject, it comes to pass." The yogi closed his eyes and started to meditate with full concentration. After about ten minutes he got up and started to walk, with his disciple following him. They walked through several streets and alleys, until they arrived to a hotel. "Come, let's enter inside", the yogi said to his disciple. They just set foot in the entrance, when a well-dressed man approached them. "I am the manager of this hotel. You look like traveling swamis and I believe you have no money. Would you like to work in the kitchen, and in return I'll give you food and a place to stay?" "Fine", responded the yogi. The disciple was perplexed and asked the yogi: "Did you use any magic? How did you do that?" The yogi smiled and said, "I wanted to show you how the power of thoughts works. When you think with full and strong concentration about something that you want to happen, and your mind does not resist the subject of your thought, your thought materializes." "The secret is concentrating, visualizing, seeing details, having faith and projecting mental and emotional energy into the mental scene. These are the general prerequisites. When your mind is empty from thoughts, and only one single thought is allowed to enter, it gains a very great power. One should be very careful with what he thinks. A concentrated thought is powerful, and exerts a very strong influence." The disciple looked at his teacher and said: "I see that I have to sharpen my concentration in order to be able to use this power." "Yes, this is the first step", responded the yogi
