Our PM's visit to Seychelles

I think that our beloved PM Shree Narendra Modi's visit to Seychelles will strengthen the bilateral ties further. 

Although Indian influence in the country's culture and traditions is not as strong as in Mauritius and Natal province in South Africa, it is significant, as mentioned by Shree Modi, according to a News Report. 

I remember how I was recruited for a Physics teaching position in Seychelles Polytechnic by the then Foreign Assignment Section of the External Affairs Ministry, Government of India, in 1983. Unfortunately I couldn't accept the offer as I was working in Ethiopia and as the Contract couldn't be broken at that time.

Seychelles is a multicultural country known for it's beeches and multinational cuisine.

Maadhwaa Saints

Today is an auspicious day in the Maadhwaa Calender. It is the anniversary of the day on which Shree Shreepaadha Theerthaa, Shree Sathyabhinava Theerthaa and Shree Lakshmikaantha Theerthaa attained the lotus feet of Lord Shree Krishna in different periods of time.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏

Global Beatles Day

Like in every year, yesterday (25 June) fans of 'The Beatles' celeberated Global Beatles Day  as tribute to the legendary softrock band of the 1960s.

They will be remembered through their songs for years to come.

Lumumba's Africa

Three days ago, I wrote about 'Juneteenth' Fest in countries in Africa. Let me share a Utube video in which Prof P L O Lumumba speaks about slavery, here.

In this morning's episode, he presented facts of Medical Apartheid by American doctors on African patients; he explains how doctors used to perform surgeries on African patients without administering any anesthesia and thereby made them suffer. I tried to provide a link to the episode, but in vain.

In one of my previous posts, I explained Academic apartheid in South African Secondary School System.

Though all the above mentioned issues are part of African History, they are not some things that African people can easily forget.

 

Our Ancient Vedic Scriptures

In all our school science and University level Environmental Studies textbooks we find explanation about rain formation. The info is presented as if the discovery was made in recent decades by Western scientists. 

If we look into our Sanaathana Dharmaa Scriptures, rain formation was explained thousands and thousands of years before western explanation by our own saints. Let me share a Utube video in which Shree Sathyaathma Theertha Swaamiji mentions in Kannada language how Shree Madhwaachaarya explains rain formation quoting our ancient Hindu Scriptures, here.

Shree Mahaa Vishnu Fest

Tomorrow is a very auspicious in the Hindu Calender. This day is known as Dhwaadhashee in the Sanaathana Dharmaa Calender. Lord Shree  Hari is the Presiding Deity of this day. Tomorrow is also the anniversary of the day on which Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu incarnated as Lord Thrivikramaa.

Shree Mahaa Vishnu Fest

Today is a very auspicious in the Hindu Calender. This day is celeberated as Ekaadashi. Presiding Deity of Ekaadashi is Dharma (Righteousness). According to our Sanaathana Dharmaa Scriptures, Shree Mahaa Lakshmi, Lord Brahma, Lord Shree Hanumaanjee, Lord Rudraa and all Deities and Sub-deities perform their duties as directed by Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu, CEO of our whole Universe.

Africa Fest

As I would have mentioned in my previous posts, I continue my interest in non-political news items in Africa and in countries in which I worked. 

This evening, it was interesting to view a WION TV Channel report on how Ghanaians celebrated their Juneteenth last week.

I remember having viewed an interesting BBC WORLD documentary on this aspect in 2008 or 2009 when I was working in Cambodia. I remember the then US President Barrack Obama's visit to a port town in West Africa from where Africans were taken as slaves to the US. I think that the documentary featured Salaga, a port town in Ghana, from where Africans were shipped to the US and the West Indies.

Afro-American history is a proof of how Afro-Americans suffered in those years. 

I remember having read novels such as 'Adventures of Tom Sawyer' by Mark Twain during my teens in 1960.

Maadhwaa Saints

Tomorrow is an auspicious day in the Maadhwaa calender. It is the anniversary on which Shree Vadhindra Theerthaa and Shree Vidhyakanta Theerthaa attained the Lotus Feet of Lord Shree Krishna.

International Yogaa Day

Yesterday was an important day globally in general and in Bhaarath Varsh (India) in particular. The day was celebrated as International Yogaa Day.

Although Yoga is being populaised and practised globally as an excercise for well-being, it's implications are far deeper, from our Sanaathan Dhaarmic point of view. Let me share an interesting article on this aspect here.

Sarvam Krishna Mayam🙏
