प्रिय मित्रों,
जैसे की आप ओ ज्ञात होगा, भारत की जन गणना अब अंतिम चरण में हैं | इस इस माह जन गणना अधिकारी पुनः आपके पास आकर आपकी तथा आपके परिवार की जानकारी की पृष्ठी कर, आपका पंजीकरण करेंगे |
यह जानकारी देते समय आप अपनी मातृभाषा के साथ-साथ “ज्ञात भाषाओ” में संस्कृत भाषा का उल्लेख करना न भूलें | विचार करें, तो हम अपनी दिनचर्या में संस्कृत भाषा का प्रयोग कई बार करतें हैं – प्रातः ईश्वर-स्मरण अथवा मंत्रोच्चार से ले कर सायं-कालीन आरती के समय तक | इसके अतिरिक्त महाशिवरात्रि, कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी, नवरात्रि व गणेशोत्सव जैसे अनेक अवसरों पर मंगलमयी मंत्र तथा श्लोकोंका पठन-मनन करते हैं |
संस्कृत भाषा को जीवित रखना हमारे हाथों में हैं | पिछले जन गणना सर्वेक्षण में संस्कृत जाननेवालों की संख्या घाट कर केवल कुछ सहस्त्र ही थी | हमें आशंका है की इस कारण इसे “मृत भाषा” घोषित किया जा सकता हैं | भाषा मृत घोषित होने पर उसके संवर्धन तथा विकास हेतु किसीभी प्रकार की निधि नहीं दी जाती – न ही उसे प्रचार-प्रसार में सरकार कोई सहायता करती है | ऐसी स्थिति में यह प्राचीन, पवित्र व भारतीय संस्कृति की आधारशिला-रुपी दैव-भाषा सदैव के लिए इतिहास की पृष्ठभूमि में लुप्त हो जाएगी |
हमारा अनवरत प्रयास ही इस भाषा को जीवित रख सकता हैं | आज संस्कृत की इस अवस्था के लिए हम सब उत्तरदायी हैं | परन्तु अब भी समय है | जब भी संभव हो, इस भाषा का प्रयोग करें व अपने परिवार तथा मित्रगणों में उसे प्रोत्साहना दें और यह सन्देश अधिकाधिक भारतीयों तक पहुँचाने का प्रयास करें | धन्यवाद |

|| नमो भारतं, नमो संस्कृतं ||

मित्रांनो ,

भारताची जनगणना आता अंतिम टप्प्यात आली आहे आणि या महिन्यात स्वयंसेवक पुन्हा एकदा तुमच्या कडे येतील तुमची आणि तुमच्या कुटुंबियांची माहिती परत घेतली आणि नोंदवली जाईल.

माहिती भरतांना तुमची मातृभाषा जी काही असेल ती तुम्ही लिहाल पण “अवगत असलेल्या भाषा” मध्ये संस्कृत भाषा न विसरता लिहा. आणि खंर बघाल तर पूर्ण जरी नाही तरी आजही आपण ती भाषा वापरतो.संध्याकाळी दिवेलागणीला म्हंटली जाणारी स्त्रोत्रे किंवा गणपतीच्या दिवसातहोणारी सहस्त्र आवर्तने अगदी देवाच्या पूजेत किंवा लग्नात म्हंटले जाणारे मंगलमय श्लोक सगळे आपल्याला माहिती आहेत काही पाठ आहेत.

हि भाषा जिवंत ठेवणं आता आपल्या हातात आहे. कारण मागील सर्वेक्षणातसंस्कृत माहिती असलेल्या लोकांची संख्या केवळ काही हजारात आहे आणित्यामुळे तिला मृत भाषा घोषित केले जावू शकते. उलटपक्षी अरबी, फारसीमाहिती असलेले लोक बरेच जास्ती आहेत कारण काही राज्यात अगदी ठरवूरह्या भाषा पत्रकात भरल्या आहेत. मृत भाषा घोषित झाली की त्या भाषेच्याउत्कर्षासाठी कुठलाही निधी दिला जात नाही. आणि मग आपली ही पुरातन आणि पवित्र भाषा कायम स्वरूपी काळाच्या पडद्याआड जाईल.

तुमचा जाणीवपूर्वक केलेला प्रयत्न ह्या भाषेला जिवंत ठेवू शकतो. आजआपल्याच भाषेवर ही वेळ येण्यास आपण सगळेच जबाबदार आहोत पणअजून वेळ गेली नाही. जेवढी जमत असेल तेवढी गम्मत म्हणून का होईनावापरा जर तुम्हाला हा विचार पटत असेल तर जरूर आपल्या मित्रांना सुद्धा सांगा.

|| नमो भारतं, नमो संस्कृतं ||

Dear friends,

As you know, the Indian census is in its final stages and census officials will visit you once again to verify your details and register your household.

When filling in the information related to languages, please do not forget to mention “Sanskrit” amongst the additional languages spoken/known. If you pause to think, you probably use “Sanskrit” several times during the day – from the time of your morning prayers to the lighting of lanp in the evening. And of course Sanskrit mantras and shlokas are an inseparable part of major sacred festivals including MahaShivRatri, ShriKrishna JanmAshtami and NavRatri.

It is in our hands to keep Sanskrit alive. The last census revealed the number of Sanskrit speakers to be fewer than thousand. There is a possibiliy that based on these dwindling numbers, Sanskrit might be declared a dead language. If this happens, it is likely to loose state support, grants and funds for further development. In such a situation, this ancient and sacred language might be lost forever.

We should strive to ensure this does not happen. We ourselves are responsible for the situation in which Sanskrit finds itself today. But we still have time. Please use this language whenever possible and please try and spread this message amongst your friends and family.

SCANDAL ‘VIBHUSHAN’ BRAJESH MISHRA –ADVOCATE-IN-CHIEF FOR

SCAM SONIA CLAN!!

V. SUNDARAM I.A.S

Brajesh Mishra (Padma Vibhushan Awardee-2011)

Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi, easily one of the most corrupt women in world history, directed Dr Manmohan Singh to confer upon Brajesh Mishra the Award of Padma Vibhushan for his exemplary services to the scandal and scam-driven Sonia Gandhi Clan. The stern grim and scorching truth underlying the Padma Vibhushan Award given to Brajesh Mishra has been thoroughly exposed by Dr Subramanian Swamy in his historic Statement on 14 February 2011. During the last 3 years, Dr Subramanian Swamy, President of the Janata Party and former Union Law and Commerce Minister has shown again and again that a small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable and lofty faith in their mission can alter the course of history. I am presenting below the full text of his Statement made on 14 February 2011:

STATEMENT OF Dr. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, PRESIDENT OF JANATA PARTY

The arrest of Pakistani singer Rahat Ali Khan by the Enforcement Directorate and Delhi Police for possessing over US $ 120,000 dollars in undeclared and undisclosed cash should remind the UPA leaders of the arrest on June 2, 2001 in Boston Airport of the son of Ms. Sonia Gandhi, viz., Mr. Rahul Gandhi by the US Federal Police, the FBI, for possessing US $ 160,000 in cash undeclared and undisclosed. In Rahul's case, the Vajpayee Government went to bat for him, and after 9 hours the FBI on direction from US government released him after getting an undertaking. THE PRINCIPAL OPERATOR WHO WORKED FOR HIS RELEASE WAS MR. BRAJESH MISHRA, THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY TO THE THEN PM VAJPAYEE. He has now been recognized for his service to the Nehru dynasty and awarded the Padma Vibhushan. Hence, it is difficult for the Congress led Government to decline the Pakistan government's vociferous demand to give similar amnesty to Rahat Ali Khan. I demand that the Prime Minister Dr. Man Mohan Singh instead to tell Pakistan to mind their business, and direct prosecution of Mr. Rahat for the crime. I also demand that Brijesh Mishra apologise publicly for his unholy intervention on behalf of Rahul Gandhi. Otherwise the Padma Vibhushan awarded to him must be revoked.

(Dr Subramanian Swamy)

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Rahul (Raoul Vinci) Gandhi

Caught red-handed in New Delhi Caught red-handed at Boston Airport with Unaccounted money! with Unaccounted money! Let off by
Brajesh Mishra

Rahul called his mother, ‘Her Majesty and Graciousness’, ‘Her Serenity and Royal Highness’ and the like, Firangi Memsahib Sonia Gandhi in India, who in turn called Brijesh Mishra, the then National Security Advisor and a key aide to the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, and requested him to intervene in the matter. Accordingly, Brajesh Mishra intervened on behalf of Prime Minister Vajpayee with the US Administration for the release Rahul from FBI custody. Rahul Gandhi was released only when the Indian Ambassador intervened and gave assurances to the US State Department that Rahul Gandhi will be produced for any future enquiry by FBI.

This scandalous incident clearly shows that Brajesh Mishra was working for Sonia and her family and not working to save the dignity and honour of the Indian Nation. It is not therefore surprising that Sonia Gandhi, a great traitor, has chosen to honour another traitor like Brajesh Mishra with the Award of Padma Vibhushan! There is no doubt that he is now fully qualified for the Award of Bharat Ratna next year, if not earlier.

It has been reported in the Press that in Sep 2004 when Washington played host to Political Young Turks, Sachin Pilot, Milind Deora, Jitin Prasada, Rajiv Shukla (all Congress Party), Manvendra Singh (a lone BJP fellow), apart from the liquor baron Vijay Mallya (Janata Party), the most prominent face that was missing at that meeting was that of Rahul Gandhi. RAHUL GANDHI did not go to the US along with these Young Turks mainly because he was aware of the fact that the FBI had not closed the case against him relating to the Boston Airport Detention incident of June 2, 2001. RAHUL GANDHI knew that the FBI would arrest him. FBI is not like the Indian CBI (Congress Bureau of Investigation!!). The Director of this shameless CBI would love to creep and crawl before RAHUL GANDHI AND HIS MOTHER, with the nodding approval and even appreciation of the Pa (kistani) Union Home Minister Chidambaram and our solemnly invertebrate Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh.

The following questions have been posed by the press in various reports:

1. Was the unaccounted money seized by the FBI from Rahul Gandhi on June 2, 2001 a part of the Bofors rip-off?

2. Was it Columbian drug money on behalf of his Columbian girl friend?

3. Was it the fund for Osama Bin Laden group, as it is known that the Muslim terrorists are using Christians as front men for laundering terrorist funds as the normal banking channels are being monitored by FBI? In this question we get the right and final answer relating to Rahul Gandhi’s nefariously manufactured fiction, in collaboration with Union Home Minister Pa Chidambaram and Digvijay Singh, relating to baseless “Saffron Terrorism”.

It has also been widely reported in the press that Brajesh Mishra has strong connections with Sonia Gandhi's Italian family through his daughter Jyotsna. Jyotsna is married to an Italian and lives in Italy. So it is not surprising that there was no investigation when Sonia lied about her birth date, and birth place etc. during the days of NDA Rule. Sonia Gandhi was given full political support by Atal Behari Vajpayee and his NDA Government from 1999 to 2004. Instead of investigating into the known multiple frauds of Sonia Gandhi and her family, Brajesh Mishra worked whole-time for Sonia Gandhi even while he was officially heading Prime Minister Vajpayee's Office! Even after the UPA Government came to power in 2004, Brajesh Mishra has been holding a secret official position in the present UPA Government that entitles him to a Diplomatic Passport.

History and future Historians will have to decide as to who has been a greater friend and benefactor of Sonia Gandhi—Atal Bihari Vajpayee or Dr.Manmohan Singh!

I remember reading a news item titled ‘Rahul's $0.2 mn encounter with FBI’ in the Times of India issue dated Mar 8, 2005. That news item was about the alleged detention of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and his Colombian girlfriend by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at Boston Airport on June2 2001. Rahul Gandhi, the son of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, and his companion were released after being detained at Boston airport following the intervention of the Prime Minister's Office in New Delhi. At that time, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Indian Prime Minister. Vajpayee's Principal Secretary and then National Security Adviser Brajesh Mishra, (This year’s Padma Vibhushan Awardee!) spoke to top US authorities to enable Rahul Gandhi and his girlfriend to get away scot-free.

Rahul Gandhi and his girlfriend were detained by the FBI at Boston Ariport on June 2 2001 because Rahul Gandhi was found to be in illegal possession of unaccounted money to the tune of USD 160,000! This huge dollar amount generated suspicion with the US authorities. Rahul and his girl

friend were thus detained by FBI. FBI suspected that Rahul was carrying terrorist funds or drug money for laundering in US.
