Gudiya Sambhrama is Bangalore's celebration of Indian culture centered around Devasthana (Mandir). While many people tend to use the word Temple to refer to Devasthana it is not an accurate translation as native Indian Devasthana host real manifestation of divine, consecrated with Prana Prathishta Process, that help people reach their ultimate potentialities.Â
Organized by the Heritage Trust, Gudiya Sambhrama is a remarkable opportunity for Indians in Bangalore to connect to their roots, celebrate native fine arts. Over 250 eminent artists from across the country, well versed in native arts will perform. What sets apart the cultural festival this time is the emphasis that will be laid on planting of sacred plants and trees. Saplings will be provided to devotees who arrive at the festival scenario, at a nominal rate. Booklets explaining the benefits and uses of sacred trees will be made available at the venue.
Spread over weekends, the program starts in 20 January and ends in 11 March. The theme for the festival is Mother Nature. The festival is spread over Basavangudi, Agara, Malleswaram, Hanumanthnagar and Banashankari. Complete schedule and venue information is provided at the top. Details on a photography contest, and a creative writing competition that is being organized is provided below.
When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the Land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.
– Jomo Kenyatta (Desmond Tutu too has paraphrased this)Â
Indian experience in this regard has been worse. Church and company have successfully pulled the wool over the natives, preventing scrutiny on its land assets, activities. One fails to understand why the Church in India still retains such sway over prime real estate and properties both movable and immoveable. This effort is to place on record deliberate subversion that has been the hall mark of the Church’s evolution in India – aided and abetted first by the imperialist Europeans (christian west) and subsequently by the sickulars, in particular the Congress Party.
It is incumbent on patriotic and nationalist Indians to ask LK Advani, and his acolytes Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj, following questions.Â
What was the deal that AB Vajpayee, LK Advani & team made with Sonia Gandhi family? LK Advani as Home Minister, and Arun Jaitley as Law Minister under AB Vajpayee as Prime Minister made many dubious decisions that are highlighted below.
Why did Arun Jaitley represent P Chidambaram in the Fairgrowth Scam? Why LK Advani, Arun Jaitley not only did not act, but were also mute when 2G scam went on in 2008 and made perfunctory noises that too only post facto, when Dr Swamy went to the Supreme Court & people had known the enormity of the scam? And party backed MP, Ram Jethmalani goes around defending the 2G scam accused.
Why was the prosecution against Ottavio Quottrochi made to fail under NDA rule when Arun Jaitley was the Law Minister? Quottrochi was holed up in Malaysia under INTERPOL notice. Dr Swamy has pointed out that the Government lawyer was hurriedly changed from Raju Ramachandran to Sonia family lackey, one Malhotra.Â
Why was the Citizenship Amendment Bill pushed in late 2003 and early 2004 with an enabling proviso that opened up PM role for Sonia Gandhi - Removal of Section 5 of Citizenship Act, 1955, pertaining to reciprocity clause that would have kicked in as constitutions of nations like Italy do not provide senior Government positions to naturalized Indian citizens.Â
AB Vajpayee as PM, LK Advani as Home Minister and Arun Jaitley as Law Minister did nothing to bring even a single CON party perpetrator of 1984 genocide to justice. Sickular CON party persons close to Sonia, including a particularly grotesque christian leader, Tytler had competed, which ward would shed more blood.
People are unlikely to hear these questions from paid media like Times Group, NDTV, IBN etc. A Surya Prakash filed this rather important report covering these typically atal-vajpayee-ite low cunning shenanigans.
CON party sickos are trying to communalize 2G issue. An FIR seem to have been registered against Dr Swamy but it has not been communicated to Dr Swamy. Dr Swamy wrote to police demanding the FIR, setting them a deadline. Dr Swamy managed to get a copy of the FIR. His letters in this regard follow
Among others, Christopher Hitchens did humanity a great favor by exposing the catholic christian chicanery of teresa, a christian fascist through his hell's angel series. If there were no warping of facts by powerful vested interests and mass media, teresa surely would have gone to jail for quackery, if not for fraud as well, perpetrated on native Indian Hindu poor.Â
Dr Subramanian Swamy, President, Janata Party has written a letter to Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh Seeking Sonia Gandhi Prosecution Under Prevention of Corruption Act (1988). In another country, this will be big news. In India, big media owned and controlled by corrupt & dubious elements have censored out the news. Letter was posted in Janata Party Website, which also has a section exposing Sonia G's controversial past, which again is blacked out by the dubious and corrupt big media.
Many people hyperventilate against islamists and islamic gangs. And it is a matter of historical record that islamic invasions have been a hugely negative force in India's history, which also resulted in India being partitioned. In the past, there was lot of conversion of native Indians to islam, particularly by the highly deceitful sufist islam which purported similarity to native roots while pushing gullible converted Indians and their families to dogmatic mental slavery.
Christian deceit has tended to get free pass primarily on account of sickulars controlling mass media, government and "xn west" influence both in business and academic worlds.
In this Hindu Unity Day Lecture organized by Sanatana Dharma Foundation, author of breaking India, Rajiv Malhotra highlights the dimensions of christian west deceit, which includes taking potshots at Hinduism from the shoulders of Dalit, Jati, Dravidian hate narratives created and nurtured by xn west; and how industrial scale proselytising is enabled through allurements. End goal of these organized shenanigans, Raji Malhotra highlights is to undermine Hindu society, its unity - intellectual, emotional, physical and then carry out wide evangelisation. It is important to understand that the anti-Hindu deceit is not just christian in the narrow sense; it has huge support from ideologies that either evolved from or arose as response to christianity in xn west like secularism, marxism liberalism, libertanism etc.
For both the desert dogma peddling idealogues (xn and islamic), Bharat has been a challenge, as the native followers of Dharma have for long resisted being bulldozed by hateful dogmas that dont respect non-believers.
(Key excerpts of this lecture were shared by Blogger Kiran Kumar S. Watching the video is recommended as it better represents the emotions, nuances and all the points which excerpts do not cover. Nationalist bureacrats, defence people who read this may be able to frame better policy and national strategy, if they read and understand the positions taken by the likes of Rajiv Malhotra)
Today, I came across Rajiv Malhotra - an Intellectual Kshatriya (Warrior). He an eloquent spokesperson for Sanatana Dharma in the West! He runs Infinity foundation. He has a management consulting background having consulted for firms like AT&T in the United States. I had heard about him earlier, but never spent a full hour listening to him, hearing him disburse his immense knowledge. Today's time spent was an eye opener!
Needless to say, I was so impressed with his speech & the depth of his knowledge, I am taking time to write this blog, encouraging others to learn more about this thinker and speaker!
A few of the salient points from his five part speech videos, follow here. He starts off his speech, referring to "Purva Paksha", the importance of knowing the opposing and earlier points of view. This debate technique historically legitimate in India was covered . You might want to refer to Adi Shankara and his debates to learn more about Purva Paksha technique. (Rajiv refers to Purva Paksha technique as understanding opposing views. The technique includes understanding and critiquing not just opposing view points but also earlier view points from both their own reference frame and also alternate reference frames)Then he highlighted something that totally surprised me.. I consider myself a bit involved in learning contemporary Hinduism, I am actively involved in debates on the social networks on Hindu dharma, I conduct DharmaQuiz as a fun way of learning about India's core ideology, among other ways to keep me engaged with Dharmic traditions. But hearing a few things about the "Project Breaking India" took me by surprise. We all would have heard of the political side of pseudo-secularism or 'secularism' in quotes as a fundamental threat to the unity and integrity of India, its culture and its people. But this Breaking India project, an Intellectual, emotional & psychological breakup of India, conceptually scared me. Is it some man's wild dream or something that is already deep rooted, taking most Hindus & secular Indians by surprise?Keep reading...He systematically covered a possible physical breakup of India, starting with Dalit Freedom network, funded
Breaking India, a book by Rajiv Malhotra and Aravindan Neelakandan
by White Christians in Denver and other places in the west. He refers to Kancha Ilaiah in the context of Dalit Freedom. (By the way Kancha Ilaiah, who Rajiv cites and is posited by major sections of media as a spokesperson for Dalit positions is NOT a Dalit. Next time when you see him on NDTV/IBN or read him in 'The Hindu' or 'Hindustan Times' remember that he is paid by christian groups to peddle anti-Hindu hate) . Then he talks about 1040 and Joshua projects aiming at massive conversion of Hindus and related native coreligionists of India. Then he talks about an undercover operation to expose the anti-united-India activities of the church via Joshua projects on rural areas of India. He particularly stressed on Church's conscious acquisiton and ownership of land in rural areas, strategically using the ownership to evangelise people. Gospel for Asia in Dallas, and their deployment of religious intolerance was covered in next part of his speech. He highlights how European Lutheran church in Scandinavia and Germany, deploy sloganeering on Human rights as a stick to isolate India politically, and then police India via church backed networks.Then he covers the mega strategic tool used by those who want to sideline & suppress Hinduism in particular, using strong political muscle. US Commission on Religious Freedom, Bill Clinton setup commission, to monitor religious freedom across the world (except USA, of course). Very surprisingly, it's Watch list has India in it, along with Islamic extremist states likeAfghanistan! (In Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia type nations, a convert out of islam is punishable by death, In Pakistan type states, it is executed by vigilante muslim groups. Also note that Bill Clinton, from left of center democratic party enabled USCRF deceit. Rajiv suggests that it was done by Clinton when he was politically in back foot after Democrats lost mid term elections. Evidence lends credence to the view that Bill Clinton would have voluntarily done it. The former US Ambassador for International Religious Freedoms, Dr Robert Seiple, was World Vision chief for 11 years till 1998 when he was picked by former president, Bill Clinton, to head the office of International Religious Freedoms. Around the period when Seiple was the president of World Vision, its vice-president from 1993 to 1998 was Andrew S. Natsios. He is now the administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
Rajiv highlights that religious freedom is actually is too much in India, if one lives and observes it, and that this commission purposefully and maliciously paints Hindus as the bad guys. Anyone with even 15 days of vacation through the vast country of India, would not believe an ounce of that India=Afghanistan argument when it comes to religious freedom. It's a shame that a public funded group in the world's most powerful democracy, is painting such horrendous picture! Rajiv peels layer by layer, as to how most of the 'complaints' & 'testimonies' about India, are from those supported by Joshua, Lutheran, Dalit Freedom network kind of anti-India conversion networks. And, there's no cross examination allowed by Sanatana Dharma Hindu organizations like Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, Varanasi Hindu sabhas, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Arya Samaj, Ramakrishna mission or other traditional Hindu organizations.
Essentially US Commission on Religious Freedom is a one way propaganda mission to put India and Indians on the backfoot through propoganda! (Goebells would learn more than a trick from these people!) He talks about 15 commissioners - which include Muslims, Christians (includng people from Worldvision kind of open Christian proselytising organizations) & Jews. No committed Hindu/Jain/Sikh/Buddhist commissioners from any traditional organizations have been nominated. Rajiv Malhotra's 600 page book's chapter 17 exposes each of these commissioners, their backgrounds linking to church and how they are trying to break India via a malicious agenda. (In an earlier piece, Rajiv had referred to the institutionalized anti-Hindu hate as part of the US narrative and how the symbolic Hindu prayers in the Senate, were demonised and opposed)
Moving further, Rajiv shows the timeline to provide us a holistic view of how this whole break-India conceptualizations started 200 years back during British occupation. He covers Robert Caldwell, an evangelist missionary and others of 19th century, how they created Dravidian-Aryan division theory. How they used distortion of Saint Thomas' "influence" on Thirukkural etc. in South India to short change natives, how this malicious set of lies is used today for a distortion that Hinduism is a 'Brahmin' conspiracy and if people get back to Saint Thomas' ideology, they will discover their original roots which was Christianity! Dravidian & Dalit concepts are being grouped to form a common anti-Hinduism umbrella. Third kind of divide is to accentuate the minority identities against Hinduism, which already cost India two physical parts during the 20th century (Pakistan movement was aided and nurtured by British)Then he covers what many that follow media are vaguely familar with.The systematic media management part, using mainly foreign Christian sources. He refers to the book, 'Christian Media in India' book (I didn't catch the exact title or author), the money sources, the control of Indian media, making news agencies (NDTV, Times of India, The Hindu kind) planting Christian-twist stories, planting christian journalists with evangelical agenda strategically, networking with international wires to make them 'world wide' news material all the way to NY Times, Christian Science Monitor etc. Rajiv then refers about many of christian news outlets being fabricated for systematic spread of rubbish. This part was noticed by folks on Twitter, but Rajiv's observations on the deep rooted nature of the network just shocked me! One can consider buying the book.Then comes the bizarre bed partners fact. The axis of leftists (US, mostly South Asia academics, like Ford Foundation) and rightists (Western Christian organizations, Rockefeller right of center foundations) collaborating together against Hinduism in India. He also exposes how the Indian left are in bed with Western Christian Right! Unbelievable collaboration of opposing groups!
(In India today, one knew of Communist groups as accomplices to such pernicious agenda. Congress party too in many ways is a vehicle for this insideous anti-Hindu agenda. And interestingly, in the Indan context the fanatical christian groups have not hesitated to collaborate with jehadi islamist groups as long as the goal is to undermine native Indian faiths and their believers)He then moves on to the assault on Sanskrit, Gurus, anything core of Hindu from this combo, well funded from the West.Then he exposes the notion of minority concept itself nurtured by sickulars with an ulterior and deceitful motive.
Rajiv's words mostly as is: "If you were to go to India, and see a MacD restaurant with 20 employees, you would not say its a minority restaurant. What matters is that this is 1 of the 50,000 branches of the world. You don't take one restaurant as a minority. Same way, one church in India is a part of Vatican global empire. The Bishop is appointed by Vatican. Their property is indirectly under Vatican's rule. So Indian Christians are a part of huge multinational. Not just Catholics, but Mormons, Baptists, Lutherans etc. Just like you don't give MacDonald in India a minority privilege, you can't give a church in India also a minority status. Similar stuff for Mosques too based on the global Islamic empire. If they are independent local concepts, yes, they should be treated as minority. But if a church or a mosque is a part of a large multinational conglomerate, including funding, how can it enjoy minority privilege in India?"
He continues: Not just the numerical strength locally, but a group must be looked at on the basis of its global strength too. Christians and Muslims being billions in this world, they are in no way a handicapped minority group in India in the globalized world. That should be the criteria. Top down appointments from head quarters from foreign country, including total control of funds & operation, how can Christians & Muslims be termed minorities?He then refers again to the topic of the fear of human rights policing as a strategic tool to keep Indian political leadership terrified, which apparently works to intimidate Indians unlike Chinese. When the US condemns human rights, within two weeks China releases its own human rights to condemn US! But Indians academics, religious leaders or political leaders hardly study US to counter the malicious 'human rights' baton. Indians are weak because the leaders don't know where they should stand when it comes to these systematic religious & cultural attacks from outside. He then covered the in-fighting among Hindus. Neo-Vedantins fighting among each other; and how Hinduism is smeared as smeared as backward and Sufism is presented as cool in areas like Delhi. Hindus need to know what is non-negotiable for internal unity, and also what is needed to counter external aggression. Per Rajiv, Indian Hindus hardly know how they are difference from rest of the world, so that unity can be formed amongst them. Covers analogy of Western unity from Hagel's time. Europeans' uniqueness, Euro centric identity, was contrasted with the rest, creating the whole 'West' concept, uniting French, English, German etc. He then briefly talks about another book,Being Different, coming up - with the Indian Hindu history, ideology, philosophy, identity, with a contrast to others is essential to make Indians know who they are and to highlight the unsuitability of the western concept of secularism in Indian Dharmic context. If you have an hour to listen to this Sanatani Hindu, who has the power to create strategy that might unite the utterly divided Hindus of the world today!
Well done in educating us Mr.Malhotra! Two Thumbs up!
Dr Subramanian Swamy, President Janata Party is probably the biggest player fighting corruption on ground today. He is involved in exposing and prosecuting who are arguably the most corrupt people in the world - those that control the Congress Party - Sonia Gandhi, Robert Vadra etc.
Dr Swamy has effectively highlighted that corporate corruption and black money, nurtured by sickular polity are serious problems facing India and that return to native Hindu Sanatana Dharma values are the solution to stem this rot.
He is going to be in Mumbai on 27 August 2011 participating in a series of events. It will be a remarkable opportunity for Mumbai citizens to participate and understand the realities of Indian polity obfuscated by vested interests that subvert the national agenda and also control important sections of the mass media.
Details on Dr Swamy's three programs follow.
Program 1:
10:00 - 11:00 a.m. at the Jain Upasharaya, Hingwala Lane, Ghatkopar East Mumbai
(This is a seminar on "Challenges before Indian Democracy" organized by Hindustan Samachar. Dr Swamy is the Chief Speaker. Invitation PDF below)
Program 3:
9:00-10:00 pm at New SNDT Auditorium, Cama Lane, Ghatkopar West, Mumbai (Annual Jain Lecture Series - "Corruption is the disease. Sanatana Dharma is the Cure")
