Intent, Effort and Result 2024 !

Intention is bigger than Effort ! Intention is wish and vision. Nobody can question Shri Narendra Modi's intention of promoting an integrated India to the world, which seeks the welfare of all. 

Effort is endeavor and implementation.

Effort is the all inclusive welfare schemes for the people of India like the Uj jwala Scheme, Ayushman Health Care Scheme, etc.

Effort is the All India Covid Vaccine Drive which crossed all boundaries of territory, caste and creed.

Effort is the Diplomatic channel set up for evacuation of all Indians from war torn  Ukraine.

Effort is bigger than result !

Result is what has been achieved and what more needs to be done.

We congratulate the PM led NDA Govt for resuming it's third term in governance by winning the majorty in the recent Lok Sabha Polls ! 

We are sure the BJP will leave no lesson unlearnt in reaching its self saught hallmark of 400 plus in its next polls. We have faith in the endeavor of the worthy seasoned allies of the NDA in doing  everything deserving of their winning slogan..Sab Ka Saath, Sab ka Vikas !

There will be introspection...but Today we will rejoice in the celebration of the largest Democracy of the World. We are hopeful of a constructive Opposition in the INDI alliance. Many young politicians  will mature as leaders as they contibute to the Nation's development..We look forward to that, as a strong opposition is the backbone of any governance.

There will be speculation...but today we all will put our Demons to rest.

Only when the Voted and the Voters work hand in hand, will India craft the future of the world !

New Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister 2022

 The Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh has a new Government after winning the assembly elections. We wish the newly elected Chief Minister Shri Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Deputy Cm Shri Mukesh Agnihotri of the Congress party a successful tenure ahead. 

The late CM Shri Virbhadra Singh stood tall in his commitment to the state economy, environment and its people. We are hopeful the new Govt will endeavour for a more progressive tenure.

Good will among all goes a long way for a succesful Govt.  *It is so important the local MLAs should make themselves accessible to the public and give a ear to their needs and problems. *The vision, funds and development schemes of the Leadership  should reach the public for their benefit. *Even more important is that all the incomplete projects of the previous Govt should be completed for the satisfaction of the people.

We also aspire that the new generation of leadership in the Congress, a progressive journey ahead. Like they say in the Himalayas, Democracy fares best with competition ! It would be to the advantage of India,  to have a constructive Opposition in the centre and state political arena.

Prime Minister Visit 2022

 Whether it is an individual,  an organisation or a Nation, it is always the Head which leads, guides and controls! However it is only when the vision of the leadership goes down to every cabinet member and even the smallest party worker that the character of the political party can be defined by the Nation.

It is the same in the making of a Nation and a State. The top leadership of political structure, top industrialists,bureaucrats, civil services and security providers have to lead by example. However it is only when this good intention and benefits go down to all the citizens of the country the  global stature of the Nation is defined.

The small state of Himachal Pradesh is facing elections soon. We are hopeful that the vision of the PM will guide and build the good health and economy of the state. Much work has been done specially during the difficult time of covid and there is much yet to be done in developing the well being of the state.

The onus of this lies with the new Govt which will come in along with the citizens of the state.

Elections 2022 !

It was a resounding victory for the BJP party to win four states of Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Uttrakhand and Manipur out of five states. The AAP party also tasted success in Punjab.

The onus goes to the keen understanding of the needs of the people and winning their trust by the hard work of development and welfare for all the sections of the  society..the poor. middle class and the rich..!

The BJP worked on the  security, safety and prosperity for the people of the states. The AAP clearly scored by addressing the basic needs of the poor.

Every state has its own fabric of society. In the mountains the issues which can win the trust of the people are : Connectivity of the roads to the settlements, basic housing for the poor, price control on essentials like power, gas etc. Better veterinary services in the village and  computer and  bank education in all the schools. Needless to add the problem of the land mafia with their  land grab attitude causing corruption and harassment to the common man will need to be addressed !

We wish all the success to the winners for a good tenure ahead..!

Navratri  India !

Third day is dedicated to Mata Chandraghanta represents Parvati in her married aspect. Parvati was given this title by Lord Mahadev himself, due to her wish to have Lord Chandradev, the Moon God, to adorn her as an ornament on her forehead, as her Lord adorned him upon his crown of matted hairs, as he's known the world over as Chandrashekhara. On fulfilling her wish, Mahadev transformed her bridal guise into a new form with a new name. As she's now adorned by the digit of the crescent moon on her forehead, Parvati will be known the entire world over as Devi Chandraghanta. She is also that aspect of a woman who is independent and fights to establish justice, peace and makes her voice heard to bring about positive changes. Chandraghanta is gold complexioned, with three bloodshot eyes and a calm face. She is adorned by heavy ornamentation on her limbs and was dressed in red apparel. Her crown is decorated by the logo of the half moon. She has ten hands, nine of them are armed by a trident, mace, bow, arrow, lotus, sword, bell and a waterpot, while one other hand blesses her devotees. She is seated upon a fierce tiger.

Dharamsala News..08th October, 2021

Navratri  India !

Second day is dedicated to Mata Brahmacharini represents Parvati in her phase of asceticism. Parvati had attained this epithet due to her performing austere and harsh penances to have Lord Mahadev as her husband for years. This form of her is close to her because as Parvati, she had been meditating to become one with Shiva again as Shakti, ensuring that her motive is complete. For her to be Brahmacharini, not only did Parvati wake up Mahadev from his penances, but rather, this form of hers was awakened within her in which she'd broken the rules of living life as a ordinary human. She is a student and a disciple who makes it her mission to attain the goals of her life through the harsh period of her education. Brahmacharini is of a fair complexion, with three content eyes as well as a calm mien. She is dressed as a female ascetic and is adorned by dried up Rudraksha beads and flowers as her ornamentation. She has two hands, both of which carried a rosary and a water utensil.

Opinion without Information..

Cartoons can sometimes be funny and yet very realistic in defining the issue.

Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) is a bill  passed by the Parliament of India on 11th December, 2019 for granting Indian Citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Parsi, Buddhist,Christians and Jains from neighbouring countries of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangla Desh. Those who have faced religious prosecution on the basis of being a minority community in these countries benefit from this amended bill.  

Does it take away any citizenship rights from bonafide Indians ?

..NO !

It does not affect our lives. Those who protest should not disturb the daily lives of anyone who might differ with the issue.

Surely all charity must first start at Home !

Dharamsala News, " Kalachakra..the Buddha, 2014 "

India News, 10thApril, 2014 : 

The Kālachakra tradition revolves around the concept of time (kāla) and cycles (chakra): from the cycles of the planets, to the cycles of human breathing, it teaches the practice of working with the most subtle energies within one's body on the path to enlightenment.

The Kālachakra deity represents a Buddha and thus omniscience. Since Kālachakra is time and everything is under the influence of time, Kālachakra knows all. Whereas Kālachakri or Kālichakra, his spiritual consort and complement, is aware of everything that is timeless, untimebound or out of the realm of time. In Yab-yum, they are temporality and atemporality conjoined. Similarly, the wheel is without beginning or end.

The Kālachakra system is not related to the ancient Vedic tradition  in India which existed long before Buddhism appeared. The Kālachakra refers to many different traditions, for example the Hindu; Saivite, Samkya, Vaishnava, the Vedas, Upanisads and Puranas traditions, but also Jainism. For example, the Kālachakra mandala includes deities which are equally accepted by Hindus, Jainas and Buddhists.

The Kālachakra deity resides in the center of the Mandala in his palace consisting of four Mandalas, one within the other: the Mandalas of body, speech, and mind, and in the very center, wisdom and great bliss.  The Kālachakra sand Mandala is dedicated to both individual and world peace and physical balance. The Dalai Lama explains: “It is a way of planting a seed, and the seed will have karmic effect. "

**The Kalachakra Initiation Ceremony this year will be held in Leh, Ladakh ( North India) from 03-13th July, 2014. You can contact us for booking your program for Dharamsala and Leh..!
