Detailed News

Mumbai : The Pundole Art Gallery, Mumbai has planned to auction 400 paintings drawn by Anti-Hindu painter M. F. Husain on 17th January as reported by the ‘Economic Times’ in its issue dated 13th December. These paintings belong to Husain-lover Mr. Pitti from Kolkota and are expected to fetch nearly crores of rupees. (It is realised from this incident that, even after the death of Anti-Hindu Husain, his followers sponsor his paintings and spread hatred towards Hindu Dharma while earning money at the same time ! – Editor SP)

On learning about this auction, Mr. Shivaji Vatkar, Coordinator of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti for Mumbai, Thane, and Raigad Districts contacted The Pundole Art Gallery and demanded to stop the sale of paintings glorifying Husain, who was a Anti-Hindu and had hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus. At that time, the manager of Art Gallery Ms. Horshed gave evasive replies. Therefore, to educate her further with legal means and to prevent harm to Hindu Dharma, a delegation of Samiti consisting Mr. Shivaji Vatkar, Mrs. Varsha Thakar, Ms. Anita Balani, and Mrs. Parvin Mehata personally met Ms. Horshed. The activists of Samiti explained her sentiments of Hindus about Husain and told her that the auction planned by the Art Gallery is objectionable. Ms. Mallika and Ms. Horshed of Art Gallery gave evasive answers and arrogantly debated with the activists. (The managers of Art Gallery sponsoring the paintings of Anti-Hindu and anti-national Husain are totally oblivious to the sentiments of Hindus and interest of the nation. They are habituated enough only to earn money by hook or crook. When a painter in Denmark had drawn the cartoons of Mohammad Paigambar, all the Muslims in the world protested against him and effected immediate ban on him. Against this, Anti-Hindu painter Husain, who has drawn a nude painting of Mother India is being still glorified, and business to trade his paintings is still in progress ! – Editor SP) Mr. Vatkar has written a protest letter and demanded that the auction of Husain’s paintings be stopped. Similar complaint has also been lodged with M.R.A. Police Station.

Few devout Hindus have opposed the news item in ‘Economic Times’ by expressing strong reactions. Through these reactions, some of them have termed the auction as an anti-national and anti-Dharma act, and raised the doubts whether the money raised through this auction is being utilised by terrorists.

5 Ways How Modi Enhances Women Entrepreneurship in Gujarat

Bangalore: Nurtured with evergreen simplicity, the women of Gujarat have flourished with decades of hard work and dedication. Lijjat Papad  (a handmade thin, crisp circular shaped Indian food, served as an accompaniment in Indian meals) is a unique example of which a small group of women have given their time to make a worthy organization of trust and productivity. Narendra Modi the Chief Minister of Gujarat recently spoke at the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), citing examples of entrepreneurial roles played by women. In his talk, he has expressed deep appreciation for the great wonders women have made since years together. Let us take a look at power of entrepreneurship according to Modi that has existed in the History of Gujarat as listed out by Economic Times. #5 Handicrafts The state of Gujarat is blessed with rich traditional handicrafts.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
