A Must Visit Place, Mcleodganj !

It is a Saturday evening and I want to tell you something today. Let us talk about some relaxation and change your mood. Last Saturday, I got a chance to visit a place. I have visited this place many times before, but believe me; I find it very new, like I have never been here before. The place I am talking about is Mcleodganj, Dharamshala. Well, it is one of the most visited places of Himachal Pradesh but I am going to describe Dharamshala in a different manner. You will love the way I will describe this place. Dharamshala is the head quarter of Kangra, but has a big tourist value too.

The place was astonished and damn beautiful; the way to Mcleodganj surrounded by fog. Fog in the mountains is the sexiest thing you can ever imagine. The big mountains cover with fog is one of the best view anyone can get, which is a dream of any photographer, to capture these breathtaking views. The Dhauladhar is one of the most watchable mountain range in the world. These mountains covered with heavy snow always, and there is a slight chill in the atmosphere even in the summers. Well, you have to experience this place once in your lifetime.

The St. Xavier church is the first place, which must visit while travelling to Mcleodganj; it is nearly 120 years old. This is the only place, where you will find enough road space where you can park your car and without any damage or harm, you will surely find it on the same place. Mcleodganj is famous for the Tibetan Buddhist Monastery; it is a serene place, where you will hear the chants of Lamas. It is also a crowded place where you will catch so many foreigners, Indians and Tibetans, but believe me this place is worse from the point of view of a driver, crowded and broken roads, and a huge risk of accident.

From Mcleodganj, there is a place called as “BhagsuNag” this place is a Hindu pilgrimage, where you will find clear water, this place has a historical importance, which you will know when you visit it. Deodar trees surround this holy place.

This trip was a memorable one, but I wish some social problems and inconvenience could be solved as soon as possible. Overall, do visit this place you will love the serenity, peace and genuine nature of the people here. Yes, please do taste hot momos and thupka to conclude your trip. A must visit place before you die! I can say proudly say that. Hope you have liked my article.

CRUSADER AGAINST CHILD LABOUR !

Today, I am going to talk about an issue, which is a big challenge among the 21^st century. A challenge where many children face a heavy load of work, they should have books in hands, but they hold heavy machinery, they should play in playgrounds but they do labour. I am talking about “Child Labour” issue. I know there is poverty in our nation and in many countries too. Nevertheless, it is a harsh truth that many contractors, who are working in various sectors, use these poor family children for their personal benefit. They gave them less wage, less food, no proper accommodation, and no proper time to sleep but a huge load of work. These children face a serious life-ending situation in these firms every day. However, there are many people, who behave like an angel for these children, such an angel is – Kailash Satyarthi.

He is an Indian children’s right activist who was born on 11 January 1954 in Vidisha, M.P. He was an electrical engineer, but besides having a lustrous career ahead, he chooses to be a social worker. In 1983, he started “Bachpan Bachao Andolan” where he rescued over 80,000 children from various forms of slavery and helped them in rehabilitation, re-integration and education. Satyarthi campaigned many social issues concerning children. Being a social worker, especially in India, he faced so many life-threatening attacks his life is not easy. Every day, being a child savior, he faced many such threats, but he did not give up and for the last 25 years, he is continuously working for betterment of children.

"If they cry for their parents, they are beaten severely, sometimes hanged upside down from trees and even branded or burned with cigarettes,"

Today, he got the noble prize for peace with Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan. Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore to him, there is only seven Indians who have achieved this accolade until now. He is the second person from India who will get it for peace, before him Mother Teresa got this in 1979. He made a social awareness of this issue, due to which number of child labour has decreased in our nation, which is 4.3 million until now. I hope he will succeed in his mission.

“One life saved, is as equal, of saving generations”

I hope our Government will make a strict law against child labour and a serious punishment for those who treat these children like their slaves. I hope he achieves success in his mission, which he has set for himself. May this savior free every slave child of this word! Saviors like Satyarthi are required in every place. He talks about “GLOBALIZATION OF COMPASSION”, I wish his agenda, will be acquired by every nation and I hope people will not see poor children as slaves from now, but like their own children.

"MODI"son Jampacked Garden!

Wow! Seriously, I am speechless after hearing this 75-minute long speech by our honorable Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. I affixed to my couch and Times Now, for the complete 75 minutes I did not change my TV channel. I believed that it was going to be the most memorable speech by NaMo, which became true after 75 minutes. He talked about 125 crores people of the nation, and touched every issue, which have concern with us.

He started the speech with "Youth Centric" messages. Before him, every PM use to talk and talk and talk, but they never raised the faith of the youth. But there is something special about NaMo he motivates youth with his speeches and this speech was the same, he said," Desh ki 65% population below 35 years ki hai". It means the 65% population of our nation is below 35 years, it means we have a huge resource of talent, speed and will. Whatever youth of the nation wants to achieve we can, we are not dependent on someone, we can achieve our dreams on our own.

The 21st century belongs to Asia, the people of Asia. Now it is on us how we are going to move it towards India. He also conveyed at Madison Square "Indian People who are living in US have changed the perspective of World about India, we don't play with snakes, we play with the mouse and when we play with it we roll the world around us". The NRIs has made us proud, they have contributed more in foreign nations and have changed the views of native citizens, and they earned respect.

NaMo also said India is rich with democracy, demography dividend and demand. The Lok Shabha 2014 election is the biggest example of democracy, where people of our nation crowned a person as PM of the nation who is from a humble background. Our nation is Youth and in future, the world will need skilled and young people in various fields of modern era. We have a great market; people can purchase whatever they wish so if any MNC wants to taste success, they cannot achieve it without India.

He gave a good example of Gandhi ji, he said that Gandhi ji involved every citizen of our nation against British and made Independence movement as "People Movement". Same as for development it should be a "People Movement", without involvement of citizens; it will not be possible to become a developed nation. Which is true Govt. can make laws, acts etc. However, it is about people who make these laws successful so if we want to be developed, every individual should start contributing in it. It will not be possible without individual efforts.

He talked about every Stalwart who contributed his role in our nation, like Swami Vivekananda, Gandhi ji, Sardar Patel. He also talked about our talent specially we can do the work with less resources and budget as we have done in case of "Mangalyaan". What I have realized about NaMo that he understand what the audience wants, which makes him a dynamic leader of the present era. People love him and they do direct conversation with him, whenever he talks.

Again, I am speechless after seeing such a response for him in US. After Narendra Das Datta, aka Swami Vivekananda, another Narendra made India proud. Madison Square Garden has known for Elvis, Jackson, Ali vs. Frazier, but from now, onward it will know, for Modi too. He inspired 18000 people there, but this number is more than this, the inspired people are in every nation who has watched it. Really today world knows again that India is more than a market, It is a super power and we have a super prime minister named as, Narendra Damodardass Modi.

Vande Matram!

Swami Ji !

                                                

                                               SWAMI VIVEKANANDA,CHICAGO 1893

Dear readers, today I am going to express my views about a stalwart, a stalwart who showed a bigger image of India among the people of the USA, a person who changed the views and opinion of the world about India, the person who got this credit is, named as “Swami Vivekananda”. The real name of Swami Ji was Narendra Vishwanath Datta and was born on 12 January, 1863 in Calcutta, Bengal presidency, British India. He was a saint and he was a disciple of Ramakrishna Paramhans. He was the major figure who introduced the philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western countries. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India

He was the founder of the Ramakrishna Mission and Ramakrishna Math. He is still remembered for his maiden lecture in Chicago, 1893 with his inspiring speech began with “Sisters and brothers of America....”

“You have to grow from the inside out.

None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own soul.”

He is the role model of many great Indian persons, including our current PM Narendra Modi. He did a lot of work on Hinduism and its philosophies. His theories are on Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Janna Yoga are worth to read. I recommend every citizen of any cast; creed or religion read Karma Yoga. It’s a summary about life and tells to focus on work, which is worship. In India he is treated as patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated as National Youth Day.

"Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached"

I can write a bigger article about Swami Ji but his theory and his persona can’t be explained in an article, you seriously need so many articles to describe the aura of Swami Ji. His life was, dedicated to Hinduism and humanity. His theories which he gave in his lifetime are still true, not one or two but everyone. He was a visionary person, and I respect his philosophies too much.

“We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”

He gave an inspiring lecture on 9/11/1893 in religious parliament in Chicago. After that lecture views of the Western world was, completely changed about India, from a poor and backward country India to a spiritually rich nation. He gave his views on peace and harmony, but on 9/11/2001 few terrorist done opposite of those views in the USA. Striking a plane on world trade centre was seriously a murder of Swami Ji’s views, murdering a no. of innocent people was a crime.

I wish the world could start following Swami Ji’s views and ideology for a better tomorrow, free from terrorism and blood. Enough for now because I have so many things to share about Swami Ji, which I will share one after another. Keep reading!
