उठा राष्ट्रविर हो – ( Marathi Patriotic Song )

Leave a reply

उठा राष्ट्रवीर हो
सुसज्ज व्हा उठा चला, सशस्त्र व्हा उठा चला
उठा राष्ट्रवीर हो

युद्ध आज पेटले, जवान चालले पुढे
मिळुनी सर्व शत्रूला क्षणात चारुया खडे
एकसंघ होऊनी लढू चला, लढू चला
उठा उठा, चला चला

वायुपुत्र होऊनी धरु मुठीत भास्करा
होऊनी अगस्तिही पिऊनी टाकू सागरा
रामकृष्ण होऊ या, समर्थ होऊ या चला
उठा उठा, चला चला

चंद्रगुप्त वीर तो फिरुनी आज आठवू
शूरता शिवाजीची नसानसात साठवू
दिव्य ही परंपरा अखंड चालवू चला
उठा उठा, चला चला

यज्ञकुंड पेटले प्रचंड हे सभोवती
दुष्ट शत्रू मारुनी तयात देऊ आहुती
देवभूमी ही अजिंक्य दाखवू जगा चला
उठा उठा, चला चला

Kerala High Court: What is the problem if PM Modi’s photo is on the vaccine certificate?

Leave a reply

13 December 2021, Peter Myaliparampil v. Union of India & Anr (2021)

Petitioner: The photograph of the Prime Minister on the COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate violates my fundamental rights as I paid for my vaccine, my certificate, my private space.

I may be kindly issued with a Covid-19 vaccination certificate without the Prime Minister’s photograph affixed on it.

Kerala High Court: He is our Prime Minister, not the Prime Minister of any other country. He came to power through our mandate. Merely because you have political differences, you cannot challenge this…Why are you ashamed of our PM? 100 crore people don’t seem to have an issue with this so why do you? Everyone has different political opinions, but he is still our prime minister.

You seem to work at Jawaharlal Nehru Leadership Institute of New Delhi which is named after a Prime Minister, why don’t you ask the university to take that down as well?

Petitioner: I have checked out the certificate issued by several other countries. Not even a single one has the picture of their Prime Minister.

Kerala High Court: They may not proud of their Prime Minister. But we are proud of our Prime Minister. Because he became PM through people’s mandate.”

You are wasting judicial time.

Dismissed!

By reducing Diwali to a mere ‘Riwaz’, Fabindia furthered Abrahamic religions’ denigrating agenda

Leave a reply

Calling Diwali ‘Jashn-e-Riwaz’ is part of an old linguistic tactic that Abrahamics have been employing for ages to belittle us. To begin with, they added ‘ism’ to ‘Hindu’ but ‘ity’ to ‘Christian’, implying ours is dogma, theirs is faith. Islam stays Arabic, bearing no English language influence.

To say Diwali is a riwaz (custom) is to make the subtle point that the festival has no religious roots. Just as it is customary to greet people when we meet, we observe Diwali. No more serious than wishing ‘good morning’!

Have you noticed that chaste Urdu speakers never refer to the script for Hindi, Devanagari, as Devvanagari? They call it Nagari ― implying there is no godly aspect to it. This is another subtle show of disregard for our culture

When I was a teacher, I noticed Muslim students deliberately writing Hindu as “hindu”, with a lower-case h, in their exercise books. Note that the English language associates a certain degree of respect/recognition with proper nouns and certain adjectives. Even in French, Français (with capital F) and français (small f) have different values attached. My Muslim students who wrote “hindu” while never referring to the followers of their own religion as “muslim” were making a clear case of comparison, projecting M as greater than h

Referring to Krishna as “the blue god”, Hanuman as “the monkey god”, etc are linguistic ways of saying our religion is alien and amusing. If pop iconography determines these terms, why is Jesus Christ not “the crucified god”? Why is Allah not “the invisible god”?

While Allah cannot be depicted in paintings, films, sculpture, etc, the name flashes Arabic calligraphy before the eyes. So, shouldn’t Allah be “the Arab god”? He isn’t. Even the Buddha is not “the Nepali (born in Lumbini) god”. Adjectives for “god” are preserved only for us.

@FabindiaNews has merely furthered n old agenda of ME religions to degrade others w/ linguistic subtlety. Hindus should’ve objected to references like “the festival of colours” (Holi) & “festival of lights” (Diwali), but they hadn’t understood the game until now.

Which are the mānyasthāna ?

By: Sumanth Sharma

वित्तं बन्धुर्वयः कर्म विद्या भवति पञ्चमी

वित्तं बन्धुर्वयः कर्म विद्या भवति पञ्चमी ।
एतानि मान्यस्थानानि गरीयो यद् यदुत्तरम् ॥

vittaṃ bandhurvayaḥ karma vidyā bhavati pañcamī |
etāni mānyasthānāni garīyo yad yaduttaram ||

  • Manu smRti 2.136 and Srī KrishnamRtamahArNava (236) by Srī Madhwāchārya

There are five ways of earning respect in the society: wealth (vittaṃ), acquaintances (bandhu), age (vayaḥ), action (karma) & knowledge (vidyā). Each one is better than the preceding one.

संपत्ति, बांधव्य, आयु, कर्मानुष्ठान एवं पाञ्च्वी है विद्या. यह गुण गौरव के कारण और योग्य है, इनमें से भी पहले से अधिक अगला गुण अधिक श्रेष्ठ है.

The importance of action and furthermore knowledge being emphasized by Manu and Sri Madhwāchārya.

Who is to be respected and what guṇas are to be respected in the society is also made clear, the person(s) who have realized the highest truth (jnāna) and people of knowledge (vidyā), followed by people committed to selfless work/action, then the elderly are to be respected followed by bandhu and then men of wealth. Means, people of mere wealth come last among the people worthy of respect whereas people of higher knowledge and samanya vidyā to be respected most in the society followed by people immersed in action and then the elders in the society.

It is worth noting that a person of knowledge is not going to differentiate people as his own and others and that could explain the lesser priority for respect based on mere acquaintance as vidyā guides us to see everyone and every-being as our own (ātmavat sarvabhūteśu).

It is a message to us in this era of false hero worship as to who are to be vandaīya and anukaraṇīya in a society and as to which qualities we must strive more for.

Indeed It is our Knowledge and our actions guided by the knowledge that are the ideals we must pursue.

We are all bang in the middle of a very serious second wave of China Virus pandemic.
Some of us are ourselves facing the heat, many of us are trying to be of some help to those who need it. In this era of information overdose, let us filter them, find out (knowledge) which ones are relevant, useful, specific information and share them to those who need it. Based on the knowledge let us strive our best to get into action mode in the way we can be of best use to our immediate neighborhood and where possible in the larger network.
