  • तथाकथित भगवान साँई बाबा के भक्त दो तबकों में बँटे हुए हैं।
  • पहला तबका वह है जिसने साँईं की मार्केटिंग की उसको बेचा और शिरडी को विश्व प्रसिद्ध कर दिया।
  • अब बात करते हैं दूसरे साँईँराम भक्त वर्ग की। यह वर्ग उन भक्तों का है जो निहायत ही भोले किस्म के हैं। ये लोग अपने स्वार्थ के लिए किसी भी बाबे को भगवान कहने से नहीं हिचकते,

  • Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir governor NN Vohra has appointed three Muslims to the 13-member Shri Amarnath Yatra Advisory Committee for a smooth conduction of the yatra. But the committee is yet to meet, as the Shri Amarnath Sangharsh Samiti (SASS) has objected to inclusion of Muslims in the committee.
  • "The SASB Act clearly states that if a governor is non-Hindu, he has to nominate a Hindu to head the board. Taking it as a premise, how can a non-Hindu be part of Hindu religious body? Similarly no non-Muslim should be part of Muslim body," said samiti convener Brig (retd) Suchet Singh.

  • एक सैनिक ने भारत के लिए तीन युद्व लड़े, हर बार अपना जीवन दांव पर लगाया और वीरता के लिए कई पदक जीते।
  • राधेश्याम तिवारी नाम के इस बहादूर सैनिक अधिकारी की 75 साल की उम्र में मध्य प्रदेश के मंदसौर में जब लंबी बीमारी के बाद मौत हुई तो उसके परिवार के पास अस्पताल का बिल चुकाने के पैसे नहीं थे और उसका अंतिम संस्कार भी चंदे से किया गया। तिवारी का पेंशन का मामला बहुत समय तक लटका रहा और जब पेंशन मिली तब तक उधार इतना जमा हो गया था कि मौत तक चुकाया नहीं जा सका।
  • 1971 की भारत-पाक लड़ाई में श्री तिवारी की वीरता को देखते हुए उन्हें एक या दो नहीं वीरता के सात पदक मिले थे। उस युद्व में वे बुरी तरह घायल भी हो गए थे। इसी वजह से रिटायर होने के बाद वे कहीं काम भी नहीं कर सके। उनकी जमीन लोगों ने हड़प ली और अदालत में मुकदमा लड़ने के लिए उनके पास पैसे नहीं थे। यह जमीन भी वह थी जो खुद सरकार ने उनकी वीरता का सम्मान करते हुए दी थी। 12 बीघा जमीन थी और इसके एक इंच हिस्से पर भी श्री तिवारी कभी खड़े नहीं हो पाए।
  • नई दिल्ली में जब सेना मुख्यालय में इस संबंध में संपर्क किया गया तो बताया गया कि गलती सारी श्री तिवारी की थी। उन्हें दिल्ली आ कर अपील करनी चाहिए थी। श्री तिवारी ने इंदौर के पास महू स्थित छावनी के जरिए कई बार अपील की थी मगर उन्हें बुलाया तक नहीं गया। पेंशन बहुत समय बाद मिली और पिछले वर्षों की पेंशन अदा करने की अर्जी तो आज भी विचाराधीन है। एक बहादूर सैनिक को सताने वालों की दया की अर्जी पर भगवान ही फैसला करेगा।

  • Viswa Rangan, DGP, Chhattisgarh,
  • He says, “The aim of Maoist supporters is simple. Demoralise the state machinery to such an extent that its will to fight the Maoists is completely shattered and the road to Maoist expansion is facilitated.”
  • The Maoists have succeeded in establishing a multi-layered network through their open and clandestine channels to deflect attention from their real motives. There are Gandhians, civil liberty operators, media personalities, writers and artists who are linked to the Maoist network and they try to camouflage the sinister designs of the Maoists.
  • Its extortion budget, according to these sources, is in the range of Rs 3000 to Rs 5000 crore.
  • One only has to scan the pages of the Maoist Bible, Strategy and Tactics of the Indian Revolution, published by the Central Committee of the CPI (Maoist), to realise how deep and dangerous their ideas are. It states, “The central task of the revolution is seizure of political power through protracted people’s war.”
  • “To accomplish this central task, the Indian people will have to be organised in people’s army, and will have to wipe out the armed forces of the counter revolutionary Indian state through war and will have to establish in its place their own state.”

  • A section of media playing double standard, alleges Puri Seer
    By Golakha Chandra Das
  • Bhubaneswar (Visakeo)- Sankaracharya of Puri Gobardan Pitha, Jagadaguru Swami Nischalanand Saraswati has alleged that a section of media, particularly the electronic media is playing double standards on various sensitive issues.
    
    While addressing the media here on June 15, the Puri Seer argued that the whole electronic media kept their concentration on nun rape case in Kandhamal but not a single TV channel showed the brutal muder of Hindu seer Swami Laxmananda Saraswati and the side effects of conversion.

  • Oppose the visit of United States
    Commission for International Religious
    Freedom to India - Ashok Singhal
  • Press statement issued by Shri Ashok Singhal, International President, Vishwa Hindu Parishad
  • This commission has prepared a list of 13 countries wherein they feel the Christian missionaries have not been allowed to freely proselytise the local non-Christians disrupting the social fabric in those countries.
  • This list does not include any country wherein atrocities are perpetrated on the Hindus or the Buddhists like Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Afghanistan, etc.
  • If anyone glances over the pages of the constitutions of the western countries, he will be able to realise that there are many restrictions on the religious freedom of the non-Christians in those countries.
  • There is a tendency to regard Hindu-based religious movements such as ISKCON, Transcendental Meditation groups, Rajnish groups etc, as cults.
  • Many Hindu-based and yoga movements in US and other western countries have been sued as cults.
  • To put it in perspective, one would say that it is over ten times harder in America to build a temple where Hindus live in large numbers than it is to build a church.
  • The textbooks in the western schools and the western media routinely portray Hinduism as cults, idolatry or even as eroticism.
  • Booklets and pamphlets denigrating Hindu religion and distorting the Hindu religious literature and epics are frequently distributed hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus in many parts of our country.
  • In the light of the above facts we demand the setting-up of a commission by Government of India at the national level to probe into the nefarious activities carried on by the outfits backed by the Church in several parts of our country. The commission should also inquire into the flow of foreign funds to such organisations and how the funds are misused for conversions and promoting communal hatred among the different Hindu communities.
