  A Salient Points from President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the nation on the eve of the 74th Republic Day, in New Delhi.   While Babasaheb Ambedkar and others gave us a map and a moral framework, the task of walking that path remains our responsibility. We have largely remained true to their expectations, and yet we realise that much remains to be done to realise Gandhiji's ideal of 'Sarvodaya', the upliftment of all.   We need to modify our lifestyle if we want our children to live happily on this fragile planet. One of the changes suggested pertains to food. I am happy to note that the United Nations accepted a suggestion from India and declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets. Millets were essential ingredients of our diet and they are making a comeback among sections of society. Coarse grains like millets are eco-friendly as they require less water to grow and yet they provide high levels of nutrition. If more and more people turn to millets, it will help...

  ( Based on the comments by Swami Tapasyananda) In Bhagavad Gita, soul is portrayed on many verses as changeless and imperishable and permanent. It is emphasized that Soul is nothing to do with matter or Prakriti and hence Soul is pure. But we are informed in a verse that matter or Prakriti is of two kinds – Lower and Higher Elements and Soul is equated as Higher Element whereby Soul becomes very much connected with matter. To make the subject matter of Soul still difficult, another verse indicates that Souls are divided into two categories – Perishable and Imperishable. It becomes still more difficult, as imperishable is also divided into Human Soul (Jivatma) and Supreme Soul (Purushothama). Let me quote the relevant passages before going into the details and their explanations: Chapter 7: Stanzas 4 to 6: Prakriti – Matter is divided into two parts – Lower and Higher. Lower one consists of eight elements viz. earth, water, fire, air, ether, ego, intellect and mind. Higher is only...

Bharat’s glorious civilization was butchered by the Islamic Muslim invaders followed by Christian Evangelistic British, French and Portuguese. Perils of the Islamic Invaders are even now standing as cruel reminders of their power of annihilations through their bloody Swords throughout many parts of Our Holy Mother Land – Raced Beautiful Architectural Temples, Destroyed Centre’s of Learnings and Cultural Heritages. Apart from these annihilations, Hindus and Sikhs were massacred on their refusal to embrace Islam – Muslims Rules in reality speak volumes about their brutalities and their Rule of Sword for Non-Muslims and Rule of Sweet for Arabic Invaders and Coward Converted Natives. Then Came the Bharat under the yokes of British, French and Portuguese who, under the garb of trade, conquered our Mother Land and ruled and looted us culturally, educationally and economically. During their periods, many of our cultural and religious artifacts were stolen treacherously and kept in their...
