Velupillai, The Travancore State Manual, Vol. II, [1940], republished 1996, pp 174-75).

“The Catholic Church made Xavier a saint for his cruelty to Hindus in Kerala and Goa. His mass conversion program targeted the Dalits and fishermen. Because he solely cared about Indian Christianity’s numbers. He used persuasion, gifting, persecution (allurements), etc. to proselytize. Church-sponsored temple annihilations must be investigated to properly represent Christianity in India.’

1. International Yoga Day 2023 – Yoga for Vasudhaiva Kutumbam (6/21)

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to the UN General Assembly in September 2014, had asked world leaders to adopt an international Yoga Day, saying “Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world, and the nature.

2. Sri Narendra Modi and Sri Yogi Adityanath are obstacles for Muslims to make India an Islamic Country. Hindus, Wakeup! (6/22)

Muslims in India have been consistently and constantly talking about wiping out Hinduism in India and establishing an Islamic Nation. Muslims realized that Modiji is silently working to ensure law and order and to adhere to the Constitution of India. Unable to find enough support and unable to convince the Indian about their agenda to overthrow the democratic government and replace with Islamic dictatorships, Indian American Muslim Council, Hindus for Human Rights, Peace Action and other organizations are organizing a protest against Modi’s visit to USA.

World Health Organization has also urged its member countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes. In fact, many Universities and Medical Hospitals have been conducting research and publishing voluminous amounts of research on the effects of the physical and mental well-being of the people. UNICEF recommends that kids can practice many yoga poses without any risk and get the same benefits that adults do. These benefits include increased flexibility and fitness, mindfulness, and relaxation.

Shanti Mantras for Peace: The origin of this peace mantra is believed to be one of the oldest scriptures of Hinduism – Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, though not in the present form. This mantra, like many of the other ancient Sanskrit mantras, sends healing vibrations to all who meet it. When these types of mantras are chanted, obstacles and hindrances are believed to be pacified.

8. Bala Samskar Kendras in Kurnool – Students are learning Lingashtakam, its importance and the benefits. (6/28)

All the students in most of the centers in Kurnool chanted Lingashtakam. Teachers require them to learn by heart to make sure that the children chant Lingashtakam without looking at the book. The Lingasthakam Stotram is a prayer formed of eight salutations or invocations offered to the Supreme Deity in his aspect as Linga. Linga is the universal symbol of creation and source of everything. This prayer glorifies the Shiva Linga and details its greatness. Each stanza lists the God’s glory and the benefits of worshipping the Shiva Linga. It states that the Linga is worshipped by Vishnu and Brahma as well. Always filled with peace, it destroys any suffering caused by the cycle of birth and rebirth.

10. Welcoming Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – June 29, 2023 (6/30)

Sri Swamiji is a Sadguru par excellence, beyond our comprehension, beyond our description and beyond our intellect. Whatever we wrote over the years, they only represent our outward description of Sri Swamiji based on our experiences. We cannot fathom the depth of an ocean, describe the luster of a sun, see the invisible treasure hidden in your own heart, and grasp the power and energy of Sri Swamiji. No matter how much we may write and how many miracles we may describe, they would not match the powers of Sri Swamiji.
