India at the AI Summit

Our Prime Minister's presence and his address at the Plenary Session of the AI Summit in Paris is a signifies the digital capability and traditionally driven desire for global welfare.

Senior citizen and self cooking

As a single senior citizen who likes to self-cook my food instead of ordering it from outside, I derive significant benefit by viewing cooking documentaries in TV Channels. As a vegetarian, I confine to vegetarian dishes. 

The fact remains that I very seldom self-cook my food items. Most often, I order my food via online food delivery options such as Zomato.

This evening, Epic TV Channel telecast a few vegetarian dishes cooked by Ranveer Brar, a well known expert. The episode featured Ms Tsering Dolma, a Tibetan origin expert as well. (I was curious in the episode as from my experience in Bhutan, I have found Tibetan people to be more fond of non-vegetarian than vegetarian dishes). This evening's episode featured dishes such as samoosas. 

When viewing the show, I was reminded of Ramesh, my beloved brother, who used to bring such vegetarian dishes for me. 

I miss him very much and I carry an enormous pain of having lost him.

Prime Minister at Prayaagraaj

News that our beloved Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi took holy dip at Prayaag Raaj is another example of how a leader of a country should be. UP Chief Minister Shree Yogi Adithyanath and Shree Narendra Modi seem to be an exemplary pair.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏

Swaami Naaraayan Temple in South Africa

Recently, a large Swamy Naaraayan Temple got opened in Johannesburg, South Africa.

 

In a few previous posts, I have mentioned the spiritual mindset and behaviour of people of Gujarathi origin in South Africa, as seen by me, during my stay in South Africa. 

(I fondly remember my beloved brother who took me to Gowri Shankar Temple in Sharjah when I stayed with him for a few days as I was travelling from home to South Africa after holidays).

Jai Shree  Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.

Divine Discourse

It was  highly spiritually enriching to view Shree Rajendra das ji's divine discourse 'Shree Bhakthamaal Kathaa' on Aashtha TV Channel this morning. He explained 'Aathma Samarpan' (Surrender of one's soul to the Lotus Feet of Lord Shree Krishna).

I fondly remember my beloved brother; he was a Lord Shree Krishna's devotee. 

Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏
