Malaysia: Hindus count, Hindraf ban lifted

In a major overture to its Indian-origin citizens (mainly Hindus of Tamil stock), the Malaysian government lifted its four-year ban on the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), on the eve of the auspicious Tamil month of Thaipusam, on January 25, 2013. The Registrar of Societies informed Hindraf chairman P Waythamoorthy that Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein had lifted the ban imposed on Oct 14, 2008, under Clause 5 of the Societies Act 1966, which gives authorities absolute discretion to ban any organization in the interests of national security and public order. Hindraf is a voluntary organization of the descendants of the Tamil indentured labour brought to work on the plantations of British landowners in the colonial period. In the decades since independence, they have suffered much State-sponsored discrimination and oppression. On Nov 25, 2007, Hindraf brought 30,000 Indian Malaysians out on the streets of Kuala Lumpur to protest against the growing marginalisation of th

Harvard University Professor begins an Anti-Hindu crusade

�Hindus in the USA are lost or abandoned people!� �NRI stands for Non-Returning Indians!� �Indians in the USA do not invest in the higher education of their children!� �Second generation [Hindu] people just understand [Hinduism] as "boaring rituals" (puja, etc.), temple visits and Indian (mythological) comic books ... All such items add to the heady brew that we have seen emerging here...� These are the words of Michael Witzel against the Hindus in the United States. Shame on us Hindus, who can listen to such derogatory words against our community with mute spectatorship. Michael Witzel has seemingly united hands with Amarjit Singh of the Ex-Khalistan Movement, Marxist Communist Hindus like Romila Thapar who take pride in their neutrality and John Dayal, the Christian maniacal author who spews venom against Hindus and is infamous for writing anti-Hindu myths ! Together, this bandwagon of crusaders against "Hindu Saffron Terrorists" are opposing chan

Hindus fostering the belief 'All Religions Are Equal' are betraying themselves!

H.H. Gurudev Dr. Kate Swamiji The psyche of Hindus that ‘All Religions Are Equal’ is a centuries old misbelief. The reason for this being ignorance in the minds of Hindus about the principles and history of the Sanatan Hindu Dharma. A Hindu, brought up in the Sanatan Hindu tradition, cannot even imagine in his dreams that ‘In order to attain heaven any religion can advise the ritual of serial killing’. For thousands of years, these religious persons (Islam, Christians) have carried out demonical killings of Hindus in a manner that can be described as ‘Neither in the Past nor in the Future’. (Means an event that has neither occurred in the past nor will occur in the future). In spite of this, the Hindu mind (psyche) asserts ‘there must be some mistake somewhere. Would religions like Christianity, Islam that have been advocated by Prophets advise committing of sins?’ The founders of those religions must have themselves not understood them properly, else how will

Maharashtra will be incensed if anti-superstitions Bill is passed : Warkaris’ warning to Govt.

From Left : H.B.P. Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Patil, Shri Sunul Ghanwat,H.B.P. Anandrao Maharaj Patil, H.B.P. Bhanudas Maharaj Dhawalikar, H.B.P. Bapu Maharaj Raokar, H.B.P. Bhagwan Maharaj Kokre, H.B.P. Ramakant Maharaj bongale Pune (Maharashtra) : The existing laws are capable of handling matters related to superstitions. The Government is trying to pass the anti-superstitions Bill under influence of handful of atheists. Passing such Bill without discussing it with Warkaris, is deception of Hindus. The Government should not try to pass such Bill. If this Bill is passed, whole of Maharashtra will be incensed and Congress will have to lose power in the next elections. The above warning has been given by Warkari Saints to Maharashtra Government in a press conference held on 25 th February. The press conference held at ‘Patrakar Bhavan’ was attended by H.B.P. Bhanudas Maharaj Dhavalikar, the President of ‘Sant Dnyaneshwaer Maharaj Palakhi Sohla’, H.

Hafiz’s threats a bid to boost jihadis’ morale

New Delhi : Lashkar-e-Taiba boss Hafiz Saeed's recent threats to step up violence in Jammu and Kashmir after the US pullout from Afghanistan in a year's time might be crafty attempts to boost the morale of separatists and rally jihadi factions. Saeed's public statements and his private pledges to a visiting Hurriyat delegation are being seen in the context of an increasing flow of Kashmiri "returnees" in contrast to lower numbers of infiltrators in the past couple of years. Kashmiris who had gone to Pakistan and have chosen to return to the Indian side — following the Nepal route -- have been rising with some 550 persons reaching Jammu and Kashmir last year as against a much lower estimate of infiltrators. The returnees comprised 124 men who had previously crossed over and their families. Security forces have become more adept at foiling infiltration and although the figures for those who have successfully slipped in are debatable, the state adm

Says, Ready to do anything for Hindutva - Mr. Pravin Togadia

Mumbai :  In line of fire over his alleged hate speech, VHP leader Praveen Togadia today said he was ready to go to jail for the sake of Hindutva. “I am ready to go to jail…I am ready to do anything for Hindutva,” Togadia, who is at the Kumbh Mela, told PTI over phone. “It is no crime to speak in the interest of the country,” he said. Maharashtra Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Venkatesh Abdeo, on whose phone the call was made, threatened, “there will be severe reaction all over the country if  Togadia is arrested. Togadia has not done anything wrong by speaking about  Akbaruddin Owaisi.” He also dared the government to arrest Togadia “if it has guts.” A case has been filed at a police station in Nanded in connection with the hate speech allegedly made by Togadia last month. Yesterday, Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil had said that the state government was seeking legal opinion on taking further action against Togadia. “We are seeking legal opinion beca

Those who want to come in power will have to build Ram temple ! – RSS Chief

Prayagaraj (Uttar Pradesh) : Only solution over the problems faced by the nation and Dharma is that Hindus should unite by getting awakened. The orders issued by Saints in this Dharma Sansad (Religious parliament) will be reverently abided by Sangh. Those, who want to come in power will have to build Ram temple, or those, who will come in power will also have to build Ram temple. This statement was made by Sarsanghchalak Shri Mohan Bhagawat. He was speaking today at Dharma Sansad organised by Vishva Hindu Parishad in Kumbh city. (BJP came into power by assuring that ‘Ram temple will be built’, and it forgot the promise after assuming power ! – Editor Sanatan Prabhat) He put forth detailed role of Sangh on this occasion.   Those terming ‘Saffron terrorism’ are ignorant about the culture of the nation ! Mr. Bhagawat said, “Once a capable organisation of Hindus is established, everyone will approach us and respect our demands. Those, who are ignorant about the fact tha

Will unite Hindus all over the nation to build Ram temple : VHP

Unanimous resolution of Dharmacharyas, Saints and Sages in Dharma Sansad of VHP ! Prayagaraj (Uttar Pradesh) : The agitation organised for building Shriram temple is the only massive agitation of its scale after the independence movement. However, unfortunate part is that this agitation is continuing for last 24 years, but this agitation has caused a big shock for Congress party, which was earlier enjoying power by scoring a majority of votes and since the agitation, Congress is able to stick to power with the support of some other political parties. Now, this agitation will be carried to its logical conclusion. For this, Hindus all over the country will be united. Such a resolution was adopted unanimously by hundreds of Dharmacharyas, Saints and Sages in Dharma Sansad (Religious Parliament) organised by Vishva Hindu Parishad on 7th February in Kumbh city. Parliament, which will salute the saffron flag will be established ! – Swami Chinmayanand Maharaj Swami Chinma

Armed revolutionaries who fought against the British were ‘terrorists’ ! - Bhikhu Parekh

Panaji (Goa) : Lord Bhikhu Parekh, a member of Britain’s ‘House of Lords’ referred to revolutionaries like Swatantryaveer Savarkar, who fought for India’s freedom, as ‘armed terrorists’. In the series of lectures organized in the name of D D Kosambi, such insulting reference was made by Parekh. When after the lecture, during question-answer session, a patriotic citizen, Shri. Shrikant Barve took him to task for the same, Bhikhu Parekh said that his definition of ‘terrorist’ was different. (Bhikhu Parekh has probably been given membership of ‘House of Lords’ for his mentality of referring to the armed revolution of rebelling patriots against English regime. A person, who calls a patriot as terrorist and refers to terrorists with respect, is anti-national and such person can only have different definitions. – editor) Bhikhu Parekh gave a lecture on the subject of ‘India’s tradition of disputes and discussions’. This lecture was organized by Art and Culture Department of

Catholic school converting to Hindu temple in Pennsylvania,USA

  A former Roman Catholic school building is reportedly being converted to a Hindu temple in Steelton (Pennsylvania, USA). Reports suggest that the 24,490 square-feet building complex, which used to house Prince of Peace Parish School in Steelton, has been purchased for $575,000 and it would be turned into BAPS Hindu Temple, where BAPS stands for Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, an international socio-spiritual Hindu organization with its roots in the Vedas. Meanwhile, distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, applauded efforts of temple-project leaders and the area community to realize this Hindu temple complex. Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that it was important to pass on Hindu spirituality, concepts and traditions to coming generations amidst so many distractions in the consumerist society and hoped that this temple would focus in this direction.

Ram Setu in danger

The Ram Setu, a land bridge between our southeastern coast in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, and a valuable civilisational heritage, is being endangered by the UPA coalition, which, frightened by Andimuthu Raja’s move to testify before the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the 2G spectrum scam, has revived the Setusamudram Shipping Canal Project to appease its DMK ally. Indians who pretend that the Setu’s sacredness is a figment of the political imagination of a segment of society may note that the structure has fascinated non-Hindus for centuries. Al-Beruni in the 11th century noted, “Setubandha means bridge of the ocean. It is the dike of Ram, the son of Dasarath, which he built from the continent to the castle Lanka. At present it consists of isolated mountains between which the ocean flows.” The 13th century Venetian adventurer, Marco Polo, mentions ‘Setabund Rameshwara’, a bridge related to Ram. Early European travellers have recorded

Sena leader Suresh Prabhu cancels Wharton visit after Narendra Modi snub

  Narendra Modi and Suresh Prabhu Shiv Sena leader Suresh Prabhu today said he has cancelled his visit to Wharton "as a mark of protest" against the cancellation of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's keynote address at the Wharton India Economic Forum. (Congratulations to Shri. Suresh Prabhu for protesting against insult of Bharat and Narendra Modi ! - Editor) "It was Wharton which invited him. Modi did not ask that he be invited. And if you are calling off the invite, I think it is not only an insult of the Gujarat Chief Minister but of the entire country," Prabhu said. On the reason for cancelling the Wharton visit, Prabhu said, "I have been a regular speaker at colleges and universities all over the world, be it in the US, Japan, Singapore or the Middle East. "I find this (Wharton snub to Modi) a ridiculous decision. Modi did not ask that he be invited. He is a democratically elected leader, a th

Kumbh Mela : Soldiers greatly admired the exhibition of HJS and Sanatan !

Soldiers visiting exhibition in Kumbh Mela 2013  Due to inefficiency, indolence, corruption of the rulers, the citizens of the country are facing dearness, unemployment ; but the soldiers have to directly lose their lives due to the personal defects of the rulers. Therefore, the dissatisfaction towards rulers is inwardly more violent in the mind of soldiers than average citizens. In order to manage the security system of Kumbh Mela, jawans from various security organisations such as Indo-Tibet Border Security Force, Central Reserve Force, Border Security Force etc were deputed. During the course of their duty, they used to visit the exhibition jointly organised by Sanatan Sanstha and Hindu Janajagruti Samiti for the establishment of ‘ Hindu Rashtra ’. The points realised after interacting with them are narrated ahead in their own words. Political will-power is absent to solve the Naxalite problem ! Naxalism in our country is not a great pr

Indore : Theft in 3 temples by robbers, police unable to trace

Indore : Unidentified miscreants struck at three different temples situated under Annapurna area and decamped with booty worth lakhs of rupees late on Saturday night. The thieves targeted Sai Mandir and Sri Ram Mandir situated in the vicinity of Bank Colony and also broke open the locks of a Shiv Mandir situated in adjacent, Vishwakarma Colony. The incident came to fore when locals thronged the temples to offer their morning prayers and discovered the theft. Following this, a team of Annapurna police reached the spot and took stock of the situation but found no vital clue about the miscreants. The police suspect that the thefts were committed under the influence of drugs or alcoholic substance by some local miscreants, who were aware that the area was quite deserted with inadequate lights arrangement. The thieves made away with donation boxes and other valuables from both the temples situated in Bank Colony but no valuable was found missing from Vishwakarma Colony

Pakistan sends back 50 stray dogs in response to India's one

Attari/Chandigarh : How deep runs the mistrust between nuclear armed neighbours India and Pakistan was evident yet again on February 15, when Pakistani authorities sent a pack of 50 stray dogs aboard the  Samjhauta Express on February 15  just to bark at Indians. The officials in Lahore had earlier found a street dog in the train as it halted at Lahore station from a trip to Amritsar. Officials in Lahore thought that Indians had sent a street dog to condescend Pakistanis, so they retorted by sending back 50 dogs to Amritsar. The news was broken by a Pakistani daily, which also claimed that prominent officials in Islamabad had been kept in loop about the move and also supervised the rejoinder. It is also learnt that Pakistani authorities had sent some of their ugliest looking dogs, which were deliberately kept hungry before being boarded on the bi-weekly Samjhauta Express. Officials in MEA have claimed that India had no intention of ‘humiliati

Hindus should demand clarification from the trustees over this issue ! – Editor Daily ‘Sanatan Prabhat’) When one proud Hindu informed Mr. Sudhakar Paddhye of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti about organising a programme of Gazals in the temple, Mr. Paddhye along with Mr. Milind Poshe of Samiti educated the trustees of the temple Shri.
