Podcast appearances and mentions of ram navami

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that  brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, May 10, 2024, and I'm Nelson John. Let's dive in:The Indian benchmark indices ended deep in the red on Thursday, marking their third consecutive session of losses, weighed down by a raft of weak March quarter results and uncertainty surrounding the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Sensex, which had opened higher, tumbled more than a thousand points to close 1.45 percent lower than its previous close. The Nifty also ended in the red, down 1.55 percent.Spices and Indian masalas are an integral part of the subcontinent's history and global identity. The spice trade in medieval times shaped India's colonial history. However, Indian spices are now facing a crisis of confidence. It all began early last month when regulatory authorities in Hong Kong and Singapore suspended the sale of MDH and Everest spice mixes due to alleged chemical contamination. The regulators found high levels of ethylene oxide, a carcinogen, in the spice mixes. The Maldives has also banned both brands, while regulators in the US, Bangladesh, and Australia have initiated investigations. Indian spice exports are substantial, estimated at $4.25 billion in FY24, constituting 12% of the global spice trade valued at $35 billion. Mint's senior editor, N Madhavan, explains how the regulatory action against these Indian spice companies could impact the $4 billion spice export sector.India's largest public sector bank, the State Bank of India, announced stellar fiscal fourth-quarter results on Thursday. Profit for the quarter ended in March rose to more than Rs 20 thousand crores. Rising 24 percent year-on-year, the profit was the highest quarterly number it has ever reported. For the whole of FY24, SBI's income stood at more than Rs 61 thousand crores, yet another record for the lender. SBI chairman Dinesh Khara expressed confidence in the bank's growth prospects, saying that the lender aims to expand its credit book by 14-16%. Despite the positive outlook, SBI's projected deposit growth for FY25 is expected to lag its credit growth, a trend playing out across the banking industry. Khara remains optimistic, citing broad-based growth across various loan segments, including retail, corporate, small businesses, and agriculture. Mint's banking correspondent Shayan Ghosh writes on SBI's results and examines what the current fiscal year has in store for the bank.In 2023, Tesla chief Elon Musk conceptualized the Hyperloop—a revolution in mobility. The Hyperloop is envisioned as a low-pressure tube for high-speed transportation of cargo and passengers using magnetically levitated pod-like vehicles. Despite skepticism about its viability, Satyanarayan Chakravarthy, a faculty member at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, believes in its potential. Speaking with Mint's senior editor Leslie D'Monte, Chakravarthy revealed plans for Avishkar Hyperloop, a project at IIT-Madras, to demonstrate a Hyperloop stack, including a vacuum tube, at their new campus. This demonstration will take place during the 'Global Hyperloop Competition' hosted by IIT-Madras next January. Despite challenges, Chakravarthy remains optimistic, highlighting Avishkar Hyperloop's progress in developing Hyperloop technology since 2017. The initiative has garnered support from the Ministry of Railways and various research institutions.Russian companies have utilized nearly $4 billion from their rupee vostro accounts in Indian banks over the past 6-8 months. These funds have been allocated toward purchasing various items, including locally manufactured arms. This spending surge follows a period where these accounts saw a significant influx of rupees due to India's heightened purchases of Russian crude oil. But wait, let's back up a bit. What exactly are vostro accounts? A vostro account is managed by a domestic bank on behalf of a foreign bank. The foreign lender can use the account for transactions, including forex settlements, cross-border payments, and investments in the domestic market. Notably, these vostro accounts also facilitate settlements for Indian exports to Russia. This arrangement serves as a workaround for Russian banks, which face limitations in interbank payment transactions following their exclusion from the SWIFT payment system due to Western sanctions. Mint's foreign affairs correspondent, Rhik Kundu, reports on how Russia is exploiting all its resources—including money in its vostro accounts—to fund its war in Ukraine.Until recently, West Bengal's Chief Minister and All India Trinamool Congress leader, Mamata Banerjee, was notably uncomfortable with overt displays of political Hinduism. She even expressed disdain for the politicisation of religious sentiments, evident when she dismissed the grand spectacle of the Ram Temple consecration in Ayodhya as a political manoeuvre by the BJP before the Lok Sabha polls. However, Banerjee's stance has gradually softened in response to political dynamics. For instance, she surprised many by declaring a state holiday on Ram Navami, albeit under the guise of celebrating the Maha Navami of the Chaitra Durga Puja, avoiding explicit acknowledgment of Ram's birthday. Her party leaders, meanwhile, enthusiastically embraced Ram Navami celebrations, with TMC candidates actively participating in festivities. This subtle shift in TMC's approach is part of a broader strategy to consolidate support among Hindu voters in West Bengal, a response to the BJP's growing influence in the state. The TMC has been quietly bolstering its Hindu credentials through measures such as stipends for priests, allowances for Durga Puja celebrations, and temple construction and restoration projects. By embracing a lighter shade of saffron, the TMC aims to counter the BJP's Hindutva narrative and prevent further erosion of its Hindu vote base. Mint invited West Bengal-based journalist Romita Dutta to examine the steady saffronization of TMC's politics in the state.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

On this auspicious Ram Navami week, Swami Mukundananda relates to us the untold story of the Divine Birth of Lord Ram. The virtuous and noble King of Ayodhya, Dasharatha has grown old and had a desire to have a child. He approached Sage Vasishtha and upon his instructions performed a Yagya or a ritual to please the Sun God to beget a child. The Yagya got completed successfully, the Fire god appeared after the Yagya and handed Dasharatha a pot of Kheer which Dasharatha distributed evenly to his three queens. The princes were conceived after the consumption of the Kheer. Months passed by after that and the time of the Divine Birth or the Avatar of Lord Ram came close. The Festivities started in Ayodhya in full swing, the river Sarayu was overflowing with joy and when the Sun reached its peak in the noon, in that auspicious moment, Kaushalya gave birth to Lord Ram. Kaikeyi gave birth to Bharata. Sumitra gave birth to Lakshmana and Shatrughna. King Dasharatha, the queens and the whole of Ayodhya was overjoyed to hear the news of the birth of the four sons. The Birthday of Lord Ram is celebrated as Ram Navami every year. It falls on the Ninth day of the Chaitra Navratri. On this special day, whoever prays to Lord Ram and Mother Sita with full Faith gets all the auspiciousness and their grace.

In this episode, we discuss the festival of Sankranti which is celebrated by Hindus in various parts of Bharat with slightly different names and rituals. We present here, a conversation with a Hindu parent regarding the observance and celebration of this festival in the Telugu states of Andhra and Telengana. It is a conversation where the parent reminisces on the celebration of this festival in times gone by and how the celebrations have evolved over the decades. This should help Hindu parents and in this case, Hindu Telugu parents revive some of the modes of celebration of this important festival.General InformationSubscribers are requested to look for The Hindu Parenting notification emails for new podcasts/posts in their email promotions/spam tab and personally move these into the main inbox.

Welcome to the Hindu parenting podcast. With Makara Sankranti around the corner, today's episode features a discussion on the festival. Makara Sankranti is celebrated, when the sun Surya enters the makara rashi known as the astrological sun sign of Capricorn in the English calendar. As with all Hindu festivals, Makara Sankranti, is celebrated all across India, parts of Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka and Nepal, but with specific regional variations in name and customs. The festival is called Pongal, Bihu, Lohri, Uttarayan, or simply Makar Sankranti, depending on where you live. To help us understand how Makar Sankranti is celebrated in the Telugu states of Andhra and Telangana, we have with us a special guest, a parent. namaskar Shashank garu, welcome to the podcast. [1:00] Shashank: Namaste. Thank you very much. [1:02] Rekha: So, let's start with your earliest memories of the festival. Where did you grow up? And what can you remember? What are your earliest recollections of Makara Sankranti.[1:14] Shashank: So I grew up in Hyderabad. And I was fortunate though to have part of my family from the coastal region of Andhra. So, you know, my mom's side is from the coastal 100 region. And Telugu people will understand why I'm making this distinction because within the Telugu states, there is quite a bit of variation. So I grew up in Hyderabad and you know, everybody, I think from Hyderabad, if you ask them what your memories were about Sankranti I think they would immediately mention kite flying. Right. And that was…My memories of Sankranti really are vivid around flying of kites. You know, my dad's side, they are third generation Hyderabadis. So in their family, kite flying, this is something that, you know, every generation participates in, and they get very passionate about it. We have lots of memories. [2:14] Rekha: Yeah, it is a simple introduction to a child, I think because kite flying is so inherently, you know, such an active thing to do, that it instantly hooks children onto the festival. So it's probably a good way to get a child interested in this festival, right? [2:35] Shashank: Absolutely, absolutely. So if you had asked me, you know, what is your favorite festival, it would be a very tough call between Diwali and Sankranti. That is how big Sankranti was for us. And exactly for the reason that you've mentioned! Because kids, you know, for us, it's it's very exciting. We have our winter holidays. And then soon after, you know, you have your Sankranti and the whole family comes together and does it so you're right. Yeah, for a kid I think even though you don't think of it, as really a religious thing that you're doing…you know, being in the outdoors and flying kites with your family and the whole neighborhood around you…and you're competing with the neighbors…It's a very exciting time of the year. [3:26] Rekha: That's That's wonderful. What was your typical Sankranti day like you woke up in the morning? Did you have a religious ritual that you had to follow? Because I think some of the rituals differ from place to place and even within the Telugu states, Coastal Andhra is different from Telangana. And each place has its own variations. Was there something that you had to do before you went kite flying, maybe like an oil bath. Very often. These are the things that are celebrated. Every festival in South India has an oil bath associated with it. So was that something?[4:06] Shashank: It was on the day of actually…I think you're.. thanks for reminding me of these things. So it was. But actually on the day before, on Bhogi, right. Sankranthi is not obviously just a one day affair, there is Bhogi and then there is Kanuma after. On Bhogi, the kids would all come together after you take a bath and do your puja and sit on a few chairs, in one corner of the room. And then what at least happened in my family is, you know, we called it Bhogi Pallu. So you would get berries of a certain kind and all the kids are basically showered with berries. Right? And I spoke to my mother recently and I asked her why do you think we do this? And she said that it's winter is a harsh period of time and because you know, you don't have central heating, you don't have things like that, and nighttime temperatures can fall and for various reasons, you know, maybe the viruses are also more potent during that time. So they, she said that it, maybe it's a celebration of you know, maybe warmer weather coming. And you start by celebrating all the kids who have who are healthy and who are there with you. So, but yeah, my really only religious thing that I really vividly remember is the Bhogi pallu part.[5:32] Rekha: This Bhogi pallu part also has an arti associated with that, if I remember right. My grandmother used to shower the children, the smallest children are often, you know, very excited by this…berries falling all over them. So they do that. And then there was an arti for the children. And that got them sufficiently excited to, you know, start the day off in this way. And then look forward to the rest of the festival. So typically, it's a three day festival, the first day being Bhogi, the second day, of course, the Sankranti, and the third day Kanuma. But let's just elaborate a little bit more on the kite flying, which I think happened on the second day, is that right? [6:22] Shashank: That's right. So it has happens on the second day, on the day of Sankranti. It would start really with sunrise, right? Like during sunrise, when you have twilight period, right? At that time, we would start flying what we called as light patang, right, so you will basically have a small candle that is attached to the string and you let the kite go further into the skies, and these lights, you know, basically light up the sky. So we started with that. And then by the time it's mid morning, I think it starts heating up. And the peak time is, I guess, you know, when the winds start picking up. And you know, and everybody's on the rooftops by mid afternoon, I would say. And late into the evening, you would keep flying kites. And it's obviously not just flying of kites, but you're competing with the others, right? So you're trying to cut the other guys right and at least the neighborhood that I was in, it was an older part of the city where you have multiple different communities living there side by side from, obviously, within the Hindu fold, you had like people from different cultures and different languages there. But we also had lots of, you know, people from other religions, right, we had a significant Muslim population living in the neighborhood, and we would all participate in this. And it was, in a way brought us all together. Right? So it was very, you know, I really have fond memories of that. And oftentimes, the funny thing is we, you know, people who could afford to buy better stuff would think that, look, I have better stuff here and I'm going to be dominating the skies. But then oftentimes you would see, kids from the nearby slum, flying kites from in between the buildings, and they would much better than us. So it was, was a way to be humbled by these people. Yeah. Yeah. Right. [8:31] Rekha: This is such a lesson for the kids. Because skill, they learn so many things, one of them being skill at doing a certain thing, you know, you get better and better at an activity, say, like, kite flying, and you see that your fancy equipment is not necessarily going to make you better. [8:47] Shashank: Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. And you know, your doing things by the book doesn't necessarily get you the results too, right. [8:54] Rekha: Yes, the interesting thing is the community participation, which is what is lacking these days. So it is not just a celebration, should not be restricted to family but if you can build a sense of community wherever you live, that creates a lasting memory for the child because of the social activity that it involves. So that's the takeaway from here I think for the parents.[9:23] Shashank: 100%! Because I think too often our tradition is reduced to a few things and sometimes from a very critical perspective people look at it. But just looking at Sankranti alone you can easily see that our tradition, our culture touches on literally every aspect of life. I mean, we've talked about kite flying but then there is all other traditions are also happening. While the kids are upstairs with maybe their dads and cousins, flying kites, usually the ladies in the house and your daughters, they are doing the rangolis, muggu, as we call it in Telugu. They are doing various other things that would keep them engaged. And, I'm sure they have fond memories of doing that stuff, too. And then, like you said, with the arti, it reminds me, people would sing their favorite songs. And on my mother's side, actually, it's almost like a talent show. After the lunch, we all sit together and, you know, someone who wants to read a poem will read a poem, another person might sing a song, another person might do a little dance, a kid might do that. So, you're right. I think it touches on many, many aspects. And that is, I think that that is to our advantage. We are fortunate to have the kind of culture where it's not very strictly religious, and it's not like one dimensional at all. [10:50] Rekha: Yes, it's beautiful integration of arts, of the tradition of drawing rangolis which happens on the day of Bhogi. So there's something in a Hindu festival for every taste, this is what I firmly believe. And whether it is food, now coming to food… Every festival has with it certain traditional foods. And with Sankranti, it does seem like jaggery and til or sesame seeds, nuvvulu, as we call in Telugu, are used. New rice, it's a time of the winter harvest. And we use til, jaggery and new rice to make many of the dishes. In neighboring Tamil Nadu it is also called pongal. So it's the new rice and foods,….sweets that are prepared with these warming foods Til also warms the body during during the cold season. So for whatever little bit of winter we have in India, this is a time that you know the body could use some warming up. And kite flying also ties into that so beautifully because you're forced to be outdoors, enjoying the morning sunshine, and let's not forget that this festival is alll about Surya Deva. So I think it comes together so beautifully. And did you get a chance to speak to your mother about the significance of this festival? I also know that there is a Haridasa tradition in Andhra where singers go from house to house or at least they used to, go from house to house singing songs about the epics I think. Is there anything more regarding this that you wish to share with us?[12:50] Shashank: My mother mentioned, I spoke with her just last night. And she mentioned that was big part of it, the haridasu or the haridasulu we would say. They would come every day during the month apparently, and on the last day, which I believe is Kanuma, they would show up to collect whatever, you know, people are willing to give them most likely would be, you know, if you're a farmer who's growing a certain kind of a crop, you would share some of that with him. If you're growing rice, then you would give a little bit of rice to them. So it was you know, it was a big part of the culture and then you also had what we call as Gangireddu. Right? So a bull would be decorated in a really beautiful way. And they they would teach a few tricks to the bull and they would take the bull from house to house. Yeddu in Telugu is bull of course. So there was that. And then she mentioned many other such things, which to me, the common theme there was… every class of people, every part of the society, in one way or another was celebrating through what is theirs. Right. So that is the good part of it too. Right? Everybody was not doing the same thing necessarily. Right? If you're a guy who is, good at, like singing and you know, Haridasu, right. So you would do that. And if you're, someone who's good with the cattle and whatnot, you would do that. But, the common theme is that this festival was so all encompassing that it touched on every profession, every class of people, and… she actually had a lot to say, and I'll just stop here because we want to keep it brief. [14:51] Rekha: Absolutely. So just to recap, there's the tradition of decorating a bull and taking it around. So just think about the child who loves animals. There's something for that child as well. There's something for the child who loves art, as usual with all our festivals. And another important part that you mentioned that I'd like to touch on, is the tradition of giving. You give whatever is in your capacity, to people who don't have as much or who don't get things all through the year as we do these days. So giving is a large part of our tradition that we have, unfortunately, forgotten. It's not just about celebration as a family or celebration with friends. But giving or daanam is tied into all the traditions. And that's something which will benefit us enormously. If we revive that and just think of somebody within our community who is much less fortunate. So that's, that's the thinking, a takeaway from this that needs to be encouraged in our children? So there's something for everybody. And I understand that you're right now not living in India [Shashank lives in Canada]. So as an NRI, as a person who doesn't live in India, do you find it hard to keep to the tradition of celebrating festivals, specifically with respect to Sankranti? Because I know you have such beautiful memories of the festival that I'm sure you'd like to pass on something to your children. So how do you handle that? And the weather also being very different from India, during this time of year, at least? How do you manage that?[16:48] Shashank: I think it definitely is more challenging when you're living abroad in a climate that is not conducive to kite flying this time of the year. And I think what I find, though, is if parents can be a little creative, they can still find that hook that will hook the child to your culture and your tradition. Like we touched on before, there is arts, there is music, there is food. And if you want to talk about the harvest, and the harvest seasons, there is the earth science aspects to it. So I find it a little difficult for sure. But then, if you can be a little creative, I think it's not difficult to get the child attached to the culture. What we do in our houses, is we try to do the Bhogi pallu part, we get the Telugu families together, and we do Bhogi pallu. And then, at least in our families, we also do the bommala koluvu, which is basically a display of all the toys in your house, and you have a certain theme and you try to use the toys and buy toys to show that theme in your house. We do that. And kids, I think, you know, even though they might have different interests, I think all kids; one thing they have in common is they love stories. And I do spend time telling them stories about you know, whether it's kite flying, whether it's the other stuff that we used to do as children. And I think, through those stories, they'll understand more through stories than through like a direct, like a lecture sort of thing, right? If you sit them down and say, Hey, this is what the tradition is, you need to follow, I don't think that is as effective as taking them with you along your journey of like reminiscing about about your childhood. And I find that to be much more effective. And last year, actually, during Sankranti, my son came running to me one day and he said, Hey, my teacher asked me to do a little art project and I said, okay, then what do you want to do? And he said, Hey, you were telling me a couple of days ago about kite flying, can you help me picture that scene? And I'll do a little sketch on that. And I helped him with that. And he did a little sketch of people standing on rooftops and flying kites, and he sent that to his teacher. And his teacher not only liked it, but she said, Look, I want to learn more about your festival. So, and he came back and we did a little bit of research. And he he went back and apparently she shared details of the festival with the whole classroom. So I think the point I'm trying to make is, it's an extra effort, but a bit of creativity is all it takes to get your child involved regardless of you know, what they like. [19:46] Rekha: This is a good point, even for people living in India, because very often when the child goes to school, they are expected…not so much expected, I think it's more self inflicted in Hindu families, that you don't take religion into school. And so we avoid all mention of our celebrations in the secular schooling that we have in India. But, you know, with so much encouragement abroad, I find that children abroad often don't hesitate because all the children bring in their traditions very proudly. And this is something that Indian parents also need to remember. And probably have the children share more freely outside the house, the little particulars. The little customs and rituals that we do at home, can be shared outside. That is a process of confidence building for the child. And people are much more open than you think. So, once you know about your identity, it's so much easier to talk about it and we should never shy away from it. [21:09] Shashank: Right. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. That has been my experience, actually. Yes. [21:13] Rekha: Let's talk a little bit about the science for the child who is of a scientific bent. Let's talk a little bit about the science of this festival. It's also called Uttarayan in many places. Uttarayan is typically a time when the sun starts it's northward journey into the northern hemisphere. And apparently, many 1000s of years before, Uttarayan used to coincide with Sankranti and they no longer do because of the axial precession of the earth. It's something that children may want to investigate on their own. Uttarayan meaning - uttar is north and ayana. The Hindu year is divided into two ayanas; Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. So there is such a beautiful scientific term built into the names we give our festivals. Anything that you wish to share about this? [22:19] Shashank: Yeah, I think the science part is definitely helpful. Because you know, it's a stereotype but I think it's not a baseless stereotype that Indian kids are generally attracted to STEM, right. So they're, whether because of parents or whether because of the environment they grew up in, they inevitably end up, majority of them in the sciences, right. So, I think the scientific angle to this whole festival of Sankranti, I think is something that any kid will find very fascinating. Not only the astronomical aspect that you just mentioned, but also the the weather patterns and the harvest festival, that it is actually; the fact that India has two harvests, and how both harvests are critical to nourish and keep healthy a sixth of humanity in that piece of land. I think it's a fascinating story. And I think, again, going back to what I said a few minutes ago, if you're a little bit creative, and passionate, I think, I think you can talk about weather science, you can talk about agriculture, you can talk about astronomy, like you said, and, the Indian kids being, inclined to the sciences, I think it would be a great conversation to have.[23:38] Rekha: Speaking of food, is there any specific food item that you used to prepare at home and which you're also carrying on now the tradition of food specific to this festival?[23:57] Shashank: So the second part of the question, what we are still doing on the aspect of food, unfortunately, I don't have much to say. But on the first aspect of what we did as children, I think two things that come up in my mind 1) is because my family, I grew up in Hyderabad, but this is really a very rural festival, right? Because we're talking about the harvest, we're talking about cattle and all that stuff that we mentioned earlier. It's a very rural festival and if you look today at Hyderabad during these days, it would look deserted during these three days, because everybody would go back to their little village or town that they came from. Because of that, because you know, the action really happens in the villages. But what happened in my family though, is during these days, we would be in Hyderabad but somebody or the other from the villages would send us some special items from there, whether it is you know, Putharekhulu [sweet] or whether it is some kind of a laddu, to it would come from there and we would all share you know, and the elders in the family would share stories about who sent this stuff and what they did as children. So that I remember vividly. And the other thing I remember is they would make some special food, especially on Kanuma. They would make stuff with urad dal, we call in Telugu, minaga pappu. So they would make stuff with that, and apparently it is supposed to be, you know, again, maybe goes back to what you said earlier, where maybe it gives you, you know, a little bit of warmth in the body, perhaps. But I heard that, you know, the day after Sankranti, which is Kanuma is when different families have different traditions around food.[25:44] Rekha: Yes, speaking of warmth, there is also the tradition of a bonfire in different parts of India. I think even Bhogi is associated with a bonfire. Probably, it ties back into a feeling of warmth that you need, in this mildly cold season in India. [26:07] ShashankThat's right. Warmth and also what I remember is, my mum actually mentioned it too, last night when I spoke with her is, it was not a fire that people made in their own little frontyard, but it would be like a community fire that they would make. Many times like on your street, you would get all the families would huddle around the fire early in the morning on the day of Bhogi, and the fire would be obviously would have wood, mainly burning to make the fire. But then you also have apparently items that are not useful anymore. Say there is a chair or a bed that is broken from last year, you would use all of that to burn it. And to me, it sounded like it is a way to cast off your past and you know, you're starting fresh, right. It's like, because every festival, you would clean things up. And in the house, around the house. And particularly for this festival, it sounds like that is an opportunity people take to get rid of all the stuff that they have, that is not working anymore. And then because you also have the harvest, you know, people are flush with money, so they would go buy new stuff. Sounds like that has been the tradition.[27:19] Rekha: That's nice. So we do see again, how everything comes together. You know, whether it's nature, geography. It's so closely tied into the Indian seasons, that nature is an important part of every Hindu festival. And then there is this process of reinventing yourself which is a constant theme that appears in all our festivals, the cleansing internally, which is your movement towards a higher plane… we call it spiritual consciousness today. But then there is this process of reinvention as you just mentioned. So at different levels, our festivals can be interpreted and for the child, it is more fun with kite flying, with food, with decorating animals, or, you know, making rangolis in the front yard, or the Bhogi pallu, the berries showered on you. So it does sound like festivals have a hook that we can use to attract children. And as you progress, there are different layers that unfold, you know, as you age. So again, coming back to the all encompassing nature of Hindu festival. So everything, there's something for everybody, of every temperament.So the last thing I do want to address is…Do you see any change now among the relatives that you have in India? Any feedback from them? Because there's a lot of change that's happening and the whole Hindu community is struggling to keep up with change. So any ideas on the change you have observed? Any ideas on keeping up? What can we do to make sure that our tradition continues and that we don't lose everything with the changing times.[29:32] Shashank: Unfortunately, I think I have a bit of a disappointing news from my own experience here. I feel like with families now spread across the country in India and sometimes even across the world in many cases, especially for Telugu families, I think it has become a little difficult for kids to be, for them to have the same kind of experience that you know, even my generation had. From what I'm hearing, I think my parents tell me that the situation there is nothing like what it used to be even 20-30 years ago.Part of the problem I think is families not being close by. Part of the problem I think is the devices, smartphones and whatever and the media that people are hooked to. And part of the problem I think is also how we are thinking about these festivals. I think at least in some families, we think of these as just another opportunity to get together and that's it… especially in urban India. I think what I am saying probably applies more to urban places and I have a feeling that in non-urban places, in villages and towns, maybe its not this bad. And when it comes to over here, in North America, my experience is that its been a huge change. When I go to a prominent temple in Canada, even on a major day when there is a big celebration and a big puja, you see lot of participation only from people who are new immigrants. Or if its from families that have been here for a long time, then its only the parents who are there. But rarely do you see their kids participating in these celebrations and that has been consistent. Whether I go on the Ram Navami celebrations and they do kalyanam there and I go on that day, its either just newly immigrated families or even families that are first generation immigrants, but then, second generation is nowhere to be seen. I definitely think that it is a problem. We should not end this conversation on a sad note, but unfortunately that seems to be the case, I think we seem to be failing on that front. Therefore, podcasts like this I believe are extremely important for us to think about what small ways we can connect the kids back to our traditions and culture. Even if you are not religious, this is not about just the religion, right? This is about your culture, this is about your language, your food, your arts, your music. So, at the end of the day, its also about India. And you cannot separate the two. You cannot separate all the things that I mentioned, you cannot separate them from India. So, I think when you lose the second generation, you are losing connection not just with the religion even though you might be thinking it's just a religious connection that is being broken. I think the connection to everything that I mentioned; arts, music, the geography of India. Everything.[32:32] Rekha: So beautifully said. It's not just one aspect that we lose, and the losing starts with language. If you can hold on to your language for as long as possible, there is a fair chance that many other things will survive. To end on a positive note, there are so many ways in which kids can get attracted to our festivals. Just giving the example of art (rangolis), a child who's interested in art, just get them interested in rangoli. For a child who's interested in animals, talk about the kanuma festival, talk about livestock, cattle, get them to be hands-on in some way, maybe using kite-flying. A hands-on approach really works with kids. For those in STEM, we can, as we discussed before, talk about the axial precession, talk about the difference between Makara Sankranti and Uttarayan and how they are slightly astronomically different and then get them involved in helping. For a socially conscious child, helping poorer members of the community through daanam and make them understand that  as Hindus, this is one aspect that we do, but doesn't get much publicity. Temples do a great deal of annadanam, of giving food to the needy. So there is something for everybody and you can get your child interested in many many many different ways. So, that, I'd like to think, is the takeaway from this session.Thank you so much, Shashank garu, for your valuable time, and we hope to see you on future podcasts.

राम विष्णु के अवतार थे, विद्वान थे, अपराजेय या invincible थे। ऐसी स्थिति में कोई भी मनुष्य घमंडी बन सकता है। उसमें एक superiority complex आ सकता है। लेकिन अय्तंत शक्ति का होना भी एक बड़ी ज़िम्मेदारी का काम है। वह कहते है ना - With great power comes great responsibility - शायद Spiderman का ये quote राम से ही inspired है। क्यूँकि सारी विद्याएं प्राप्त करने के बाद, राम ने अपने गुरु, ऋषि विश्वामित्र से एक ऐसा सवाल पुछा, जो सिर्फ एक उच्चतम मानव या पुरुषोत्तम ही पूछ सकता है। वह सवाल क्या था? विष्णु के दशावतार कौन थे और वह evolution से कैसे जुड़ें हैं? आइए जानते हैं इस episode में।

On Saturday, 16 April, violence broke out in Northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri following a Shobha Yatra organised to mark Hanuman Jayanti. The Delhi Police have so far arrested 24 people and apprehended two juveniles in connection with communal clashes that broke out in North Delhi's Jahangirpuri after a religious Hindu procession allegedly attempted to hoist a flag on a mosque. According to the FIR filed by the police, arguments between two groups escalated after a man named Ansar came with a few people and started an argument with those participating in the yatra. The argument escalated and stone-pelting and sloganeering started from both sides. And as per purported videos of the yatra uploaded on social media and eyewitness accounts, several in the procession were carrying saffron flags, swords, pistols, and sticks. The police have also recovered three firearms and five swords from the accused persons. The Quint's reporter Fatima Khan spoke to several members of the procession and they claimed that they carried the swords for “fun”. This incident also comes days after the violence that erupted during the Ram Navami processions in several parts of the country. However, the twist in this incident is that there was a heavy deployment of police in the area where this scuffle took place. As per a report by The Indian Express, the Shobha Yatra also had police permission and around 50 police officials were deployed in Jahangirpuri along with PCRs, MVPs, and drones. Later, DCP Northwest Usha Rangani clarified that the procession took place without any permission. In today's episode, we take you through exactly what led to the violence in Jahangirpuri through eyewitness accounts and The Quint's ground reports on the same. We also speak to Somya Lakahni, Senior Editor at The Quint to know the latest on the investigation.

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/india-is-standing-up-and-defending-itself-but-is-uncle-sam-taking-note-of-it-10565421.htmlOn the face of it, Indian Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar’s blunt responses to US pressure to toe its line regarding Ukraine are appropriate rebuttals to interference in India’s internal affairs. Because India has generally been reticent (for example in the face of aggressive Chinese statements), the general public has been delighted to see these as an example of a maturing of Indian resolve. I am not so sure. I have long advocated mutually respectful US-India ties. And I was delighted by the promise of the Quad as a coming together of democratic forces in the Indo-Pacific, especially as an antidote to the rampaging Chinese. However, I was apprehensive about the Biden Administration, because the track record of the Democrats towards India is, well, abysmal.In previous Democratic Administrations we had the spectacle of Madeleine Albright lecturing India rudely, and the dependably noxious Robin Raphel who was later accused by the FBI of being a Pakistani agent (she was cleared of those charges). The general tendency has been to treat India with disdain, if not contempt, partly as a vestige of Cold War attitudes, the silly Non-Aligned Movement, and inane moralizing by the likes of Nehru and Krishna Menon. Thanks for reading Shadow Warrior! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.Besides, India was seen as a basket-case (with good reason: humiliating PL 480 emergency food aid was a defining moment, because Indians ate only when US ships showed up with grain that they would normally only feed to livestock). A country that cannot manage its basic food security deserves disdain. But those days are long gone, except in the minds of Atlanticist Cold Warriors: India is now one of the biggest exporters of grain, and will profit from the Ukraine war.In other ways, too, the power equation between the two countries needs to be re-thought. I am reminded of the story of the court poet of a king in India who wrote a poem comparing his king to the Emperor. He called his king the New Moon and the Emperor the Full Moon. Furious, the king wanted to know why he said that.The poet explained that the New Moon is waxing, and the Full Moon is waning. In a nutshell, that is the situation with India and the US. Barring some unforeseen calamities, relative Indian economic and military might is going to increase, and America’s is going to decrease. In the not too distant future, India’s GDP in PPP terms will exceed that of the US, and it is a matter of speculation when the GDP in nominal terms also does the same. This is not jingoistic chest-thumping, but a very real possibility.Thank you for reading Shadow Warrior. This post is public so feel free to share it.The US is suffering from something like a midlife crisis. That is odd, for a nation with immense endowment – a vast continent with all the natural resources one could possibly want – and blessed with friendly neighbors and vast oceans separating it from possible foes. Its people have long been the most industrious and most innovative on earth, and the country is a magnet for the best and brightest from all over the world. Its soft power, too, is unrivaled. Yet, the prevailing concerns that animate Americans seem odd: gender, abortion rights, human rights. They are not exercised over their virtual de-industrialization (and the loss of manufacturing jobs) courtesy China, nor the possible collapse in white collar jobs through automation and robotics. They seem blase about their profligate use of energy (NPR reported in “How much energy powers a good life?” a Stanford study that Americans use “nearly four times the energy needed to live a happy life”). This is clearly driving global climate change. They may well be living beyond their means, propped up by printing billions of dollars, which they can do because Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard. The dollar remains the global reserve currency. However, the sanctions against Russia may well result in the bifurcation of the global trading system, and the Chinese would love to make the renminbi the currency of choice. Yet, Americans are mostly worried about human rights. Granted, these are ethical issues that are the proper concern of rich countries, but there is a whiff of decadence: it feels like the self-absorbed navel-gazing of a civilization in decline, oblivious to the barbarians at the gates, and you know who said barbarians are. The word degringolade seems to sum it up: the possibility of sudden collapse. The further problem is that they are lecturing others when their own system is not exactly functioning that well. The US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken injected a sour note into the recent 2+2 meeting with India when he said, gratuitously, that “human rights abuses” in India were being monitored by the US.It was ironic that Blinken made this statement on a day when somebody shot up 10 people in Brooklyn; the next day two Sikhs were beaten and robbed in New York City. And a Kashmiri Hindu was shot dead in Kashmir. The NY Times, in the wake of a fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer, said: “American police officers, over the previous five years, have killed more than 400 motorists who were not wielding a gun or knife or under pursuit for a violent crime."One could argue that human rights abuses are a problem for the US, too. The Chinese make the US squirm by listing instances. At a function (at Howard University, a historically black university), MEA Jaishankar said that India is paying attention to human rights issues in the US. He also talked about the threat of CAATSA sanctions on India, and in effect said that if the US were to impose those sanctions, India would find a way around them. Indeed, India did get around earlier American denials and sanctions: when it went nuclear, earlier when the US unilaterally repealed the treaty about supplying nuclear fuel to Tarapore, when the Biden Amendment (yes, same Biden) forced Russia to renege on its cryogenic rocket engine deal with India, and when a Cray supercomputer sale was canceled. So far, so good. Yes, India is standing up and defending itself. But the question is whether this is registering where it counts. The Indian media is agog with reports. However, the American media, so far as I can tell, didn’t report on this: which means that official America simply did not hear the retort by the Indian MEA. Furthermore, there is the Good Cop, Bad Cop story: Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh threatened India with “consequences”. An emollient Daniel Lu, a senior State Department official, made soothing noises. Victoria Nuland, the architect of the ‘Maidan Revolution’ in Ukraine in 2014, visited, and met with mysterious “thought leaders” and with Arvind Kejriwal.Shortly thereafter, the AAP government in Punjab demanded 50,000 crores a year from the Center to fulfill AAP’s own grandiose election promises of freebies; Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal casually dismissed the rape-murder of a 14-year-old Hindu girl by TMC cadres; the Tamil Nadu government ratcheted up separatist noises; and Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti shobhayatras were attacked with stone-pelting by Muslims. Pure coincidence? Or “consequences”? Is the Biden Administration now convinced that India will, and should be allowed to, pursue its own interests? I am just not so sure as others are. After all, I hear AUKUS is becoming JAUKUS (pronounced “jackass”), and that leaves India out in the cold clutching the Quad. 1247 words, April 14, 2022 updated April 17, 2022 This is a public episode.

Yusra Hasan brings you the news from Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Goa, West Bengal and Pakistan. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Several instances of violence, stone pelting, and arson rocked many states of India on the occasion of Ram Navami on 10 April. Reports of unrest and violence emerged from Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Gujarat West Bengal, Goa, Mumbai, and New Delhi, where students of the Jawaharlal Nehru University were allegedly attacked by students affiliated with right-wing groups. Meanwhile, the clashes that erupted in Gujarat caused the death of a person. Several purported videos of these incidents uploaded on social media showed youth wearing saffron clothing, wielding swords, and chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram' and anti-Muslim slogans, whizzing through the streets on their bikes.  In one instance, in Bihar's Muzaffarpur, a purported video uploaded on social media shows a group of men holding saffron flags and swords outside a mosque, with one man climbing the mosque's wall and trying to fix a saffron flag atop it. And in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone, as many as 77 people were arrested after incidents of stone pelting and arson occurred during a Ram Navami procession in the district. This is, however, not the first time such rallies have taken place on the occasion of Ram Navami. Over the years, right-wing Hindu groups taking out processions have led to tensions in many parts of the country, according to several media reports. In today's episode, we take a look at the reports of violence in some of these areas and analyse how the occasion of Ram Navami has been a weapon to spread communal hatred by certain right-wing groups. We speak to Teesta Setalvad, a journalist and civil rights activist, and Apoorvanand, a professor at Delhi University.

9 Day festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ram.

Ram Navami is a Hindu festival, celebrating the birth of Lord Rama.  According to mythology, Rama was the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He was born to King Dashratha and Queen Kaushalya in Ayodhya. Lord Rama was born on Navami Tithi during Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month. Therefore each year, the ninth day is celebrated as Ram Navami. Hindu households celebrate the Navratri by doing puja and on the ninth day, they perform Kanya Puja, where 9 girls are invited at home and offered prasad consisting of sooji halwa, Kala chana, and puri. The Hindus believe that young girls are the manifestation of Devi. Listen to the podcast to know more about this festival of India.

Ramayan Episode 9:Sri Ram Navami in Ramayana, birth of Rama and childhood, Viswamitra Dasaratha Vasishta conversation - All these topics are covered in the video which also presents Sargas 18-21 of Bala kanda in RamayanaYou can follow us on: https://twitter.com/OnlineNarada https://www.kooapp.com/profile/OnlineNarada https://www.facebook.com/OnlineNaradaFBSummary of Ramayana: This is the story of Rama, Sita, Hanuman, Lakshmana, Ravan, Lanka and Ayodhya filled with sanskrit slokas, weapons like brahmastra, etc. Once upon a time there lived a person named Sri Rama - He is the eldest son of Dasaratha who ruled Ayodhya. Dasaratha wanted to crown him the king but his wife Kaikeyi objected to this. Instead, she wanted to send Rama to exile and crown her son Bharata as the king. A weakened Dasaratha approved Kaikeyi's conditions. Rama left Ayodhya followed by his brother Lakshmana and wife Sita. Dasaratha was unable to live without Rama and passed away. Vasishta and other sages requested Bharata to become the king of Ayodhya - but Bharata declined. Bharata never had any intentions to become a king, and left Ayodhya in search of Rama. After meeting him, Bharata requested Rama to come back to Ayodhya and rule it as a king. Rama declined Bharata's request and instead offered bharata his "Padukas" as a symbol of representation. Bharata went back to Ayodhya, placed the padukas on the throne and continued ruling Ayodhya as a subject of Rama.One day, a rakshasi called Surphanaka visited their parnasala. Rama ordered Lakshmana to cut her nose and ears. A vengeful Surphanaka instigated her friends to attack Rama, Sita and Lakshmana. Rama alone defeated 14000 rakshasas in the ensuing battle. Ravana heard about the deaths of his subjects from Surphanaka. He met his friend Maricha and together they kidnapped Sita and left to Lanka. Searching for Sita, the brothers met Hanuman near Pampa river who introduced them to Sugriva. Rama and Sugriva exchanged their stories and promised friendship in the presence of Agni. Rama promised to kill Sugriva's brother Vali after hearing about him from Sugriva. Together, they all reached Kishkindha where Sugriva invited Vali for a fight. Rama killed Vali with his arrow and crowned Sugriva as the king of Kishkindha. Sugriva organized a search in all directions for Sita with all the vanaras in his kingdom. Hanuman who went south jumped across the ocean to reach Lanka. After looking in all places he finally found Sita in Asoka vana. He shared the story of Rama and Sugriva to Sita and gave her a ring from Rama as a proof of his identity. He then consoled Sita, wreaked havoc in Lanka and eventually burned it down. He flew back across the ocean and reached kishkindha to share his findings with Rama. Ready to fight, the vanara sena built a bridge across the ocean and reached Lanka. Rama defeated Ravana in a fierce battle. All the gods and sages blessed the couple and Rama coronates Vibhishana as the king of Lanka. They all board pushpaka vimana to head back home. Eventually the four brothers reunite at Nandigrama and Sri Rama is crowned as the King of Ayodhya. He ruled the land for 11000 years. Under his rule the people were always very happy, healthy and wealthy.The story of Rama is a very good tool to build character, correct our flaws and lead a dharmic life.

Ram Navami Vishesh Satsang : Pujya Sant Shri Asharamji Bapu Satsang

Namaskaram!! Welcome to Aadhyatmika Nidhi channel! வீட்டிலேயே ராம நவமி பூஜை செய்வது எப்படி என்பதை பற்றி இந்த பதிவில் பார்ப்போம் https://chat.whatsapp.com/JMHH3sp5wSi6SvAcT5Pm0B Regards, SIREESH.N.M AUTHOR AT EVINCEPUB PUBLISHING

Keeping in continuation of the prevailing corrective phase, Indian markets lost over one and a half per cent last week as rising Covid cases cast a cloud over economic growth and earnings outlook. In the absence of any major events this week, Covid-19 related developments, March quarter earnings and global cues will continue to guide market mood amid the possibility of extreme volatility in the holiday-shortened week. Equity markets would remain closed on Wednesday for Ram Navami. The Indian markets will enter the second week of earning season with 55 companies slated to post their results, including ICICI Bank, HCL Technologies, Nestle India, 5paisa Capital and Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services. Stock-specific movements based on upcoming results can be expected in the market, say experts, with banking and finance stocks likely to remain in focus. That apart, as Covid-19's second wave wreaks havoc across the country, investors will keep a close watch on the pace of rising infections, vaccination drives and state-wise restrictions to contain the pandemic. As per the latest data, India recorded over 2.75 new Covid cases in last 24 hours, its biggest single-day spike with total cases past the 1.5 crore mark since the start of the pandemic. The fast-spreading cases and ensuing restrictions by states could dampen the pace of economic recovery, fear investors. This concern was also visible among foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) who have pulled out a net Rs 4,615 crore from Indian markets in April so far. If they turn net sellers in April, that would be the first monthly selling since September 2020. Hence the flow will be closely watched going forward. That apart, oil price movement, rupee's trajectory versus the dollar and global cues are likely to influence market mood this week. And now, let's take a look at the trade setup for today. Asian shares hovered near 1-1/2 week highs on Monday helped by expectations monetary policy will remain accommodative the world over, while Covid-19 vaccine rollouts help ease fears of another dangerous wave of coronavirus infections. Australian shares were 0.25 per cent higher while South Korea's KOSPI added 0.4 per cent and Japan's Nikkei eased 0.4 per cent. However, back home, indices looked poised for a gap-down start as India continues to report a record spike in Covid cases. At 7.40 am, SGX Nifty was ruling 170 points down at 14,472. On the stock-specific front, shares of Macrotech Developers will list on the bourses today. The IPO that ran between April 7-9 was subscribed 1.36 times. The issue price has been fixed at Rs 486 per share. ACC, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company, Bajaj Consumer Care, CRISIL, Agio Paper & Industries, Pratik Panels, Response Informatics, and Sri Chakra Cement will release quarterly numbers on April 19. HDFC Bank on Saturday reported a 15.8 per cent YoY rise in its consolidated net profit at Rs 8,434 crore for the quarter ended March 2021. The private sector lender had registered a net profit of Rs 7,280 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago. Mindtree said its consolidated net profit rose by 53.9 per cent YoY to Rs 317.3 crore in the March quarter on the back of strong operational efficiency and expressed confidence in logging double-digit growth in FY22. Debt-ridden Coffee Day Enterprises said trading in its shares would be resumed at BSE and NSE from April 26.

The Leelas in chapter 25 are all about Damu Anna Rasne, and how he sought refuge at Baba's feet as he had no offspring, and the unique way in which Baba blesses him by giving him four mangoes. Two other Leelas mentioned in this chapter are about Damu's business speculations on cotton and grain, and how Baba prevents him from doing so, thereby saving him from severe financial losses. I shall now narrate his life story, then talk about how he resolved to bring a flag every year for Ram Navami as a token of his gratitude for Baba for blessing him with children. The ancestors of Damodar Savalram Rasane hailed from Rashin. They were known as the Rashinkars, but later adopted the surname Rasane. Damodar Rasane received Baba's blessings for a child in the most remarkable and unexpected manner, and thereby, he became the means for spreading Baba's fame. He was a very humble man, who sold bangles and utensils to earn a living. All his transactions yielded good profits, and he soon became rich. He had everything in life, but had no children although he married twice. Astrological curiosity made him explore his horoscope, and he found that a Paapi (Ketu) was seated in the Putrastan, and there was no Guru (Jupiter) influence to overcome this. The local astrologers he consulted declared that it was impossible for him to have a child in this life. Damodar had heard of Sai Baba and went to see Him. Baba had kept about eight mangoes from a basket to be given to him. The rest of the mangoes in the basket were taken away by the local children, who wanted more. When Baba said that there were no more mangoes, the children pointed to the eight mangoes. Baba said that they were for Damya, but the children said that Damya was not around. "I know that he is on his way. He is coming," said Baba. When Baba went out, some of the children took away four mangoes, leaving behind only four mangoes. Baba gave Damodar the four mangoes, saying, "Eat and die." Damodar was perturbed by hearing the inauspicious word 'die'. Noticing his perplexity, Mhalsapati told him that it was a blessing to die at Baba's feet. All the while, Baba was enjoying this exchange. The word 'die', which He used, did not refer to physical death, but to the spiritual death, which is the same as Brahma Pramada coming upon one who gets deeper into Samsarik life with the birth and death of progeny and family. Baba said, "Damya, do not eat these mangoes yourself, but give them to your wife." Damya asked, "Which wife should I give them to?” Baba replied, “Give them to your second wife. She will have eight children. The first two will be boys. Name the first Daulatshah and the second Tanashah." Taking up his notebook immediately, Damya wrote down the two names. As stated by Baba, Damya's wife gave birth to exactly eight children, one after another, and their sexes were in the same order given by Baba. It took 15 years for all their children to be born. Perhaps there is an astrological explanation for this. In Damya's horoscope, there was no ‘Guru Balam' to overcome the Paapi influence. But the all-knowing and all-powerful guru of Damya was Baba, and His Balam (strength), together with His favourable glances, could overcome the adverse influence of all the planets put together. Damya's first son was named Daulatshah, who came to be known as Nanasaheb Rasane. Nanasaheb became the trustee of the Shri Sai Baba Sanstan, and did a lot of work for the Sanstan. He carried on Baba's propaganda by spreading the Sai faith through lectures and other means, and he was fully deserving of the name Daulatshah. Damya, deriving a blessing of this very rare sort, became the means by which Baba's fame (for bestowing progeny and other blessings) got widely publicised in Ahmednagar. This was around 1895-97. Damya, wishing to show his gratitude, undertook to pay for the expenses of a grand flag-procession ceremony that took place every Ram Navami day. Two very tall flags were nicely decorated and carried from the mosque through the streets of Shirdi on that day every year, and finally brought back to be installed at Baba's Masjid to remain there as a mark of the stay of the very compassionate saint. Not content with this service, Damya was always ready to undertake further work and expense for Baba in other matters as well, such as the reconstruction of the Masjid. Baba saves Damya from incurring financial losses On one occasion, Damya was advised by a cotton trader to invest Rs. 50,000 in cotton trading and earn a profit of lakhs within a short period of time. Damya wrote to Shama to ask Baba for permission to make the investment. When the letter came to Baba, Baba said, "Damya wants to catch the sky. His head is wrong. He is trying to think of lakhs. Write to him that his present position is not bad, and ask him not to think of lakhs." Damya, with great regret, had to drop the idea of cotton speculation. Finally, he thought he would directly go and meet Baba and induce Baba t...

Chapter 15 describes how Baba explained to Das Ganu the style of Kirtan by Naarad, and how he made Cholkar drink tea saturated with sugar after fulfilment of his vow. And lastly, how, from their chirping, Baba understood about the lizard that came from Aurangabad to meet her sister in the mosque. Chapter 15 is called Sankat Mochan, and many devotees read this chapter to free themselves from all obstacles, by Baba's grace. Spreading the palms before Baba is completely surrendering the ego with humility, and knowing fully well that we are helpless without Baba's grace. Day and night (in good times and in bad times), He is our only refuge, standing behind us and showering His grace upon us. In this chapter, there is the story of Das Ganu all decked up with an Angrakha, Pheta and Uparna to perform a Kirtan. Baba, with his characteristic humour, asks Das Ganu where he was going all decked up like a bridegroom. Baba then tells him to get rid of all the outward show, and to perform Kirtans with a bare chest, like Narad Muni, the father of all Kirtankars. The only adornment required was intense faith and devotion, which became Das Ganu's Naradiya Paddhati. I will now relate the life of Das Ganu, and how Baba transformed him into Sant Kavi Das Ganu Maharaj. Ganpatrao Dattatreya Sahasrabuddhe, popularly known as Das Ganu Maharaj, was born on 6th January, 1868, and passed away on 25th November, 1962. Das Ganu hailed from Akolner village, and was born in a Brahmin family. His studies started when he had his thread ceremony at the age of nine, and stopped when he was 14 years old, and he studied English only up to fourth grade. He married when he was 23, after which he came to Ahmednagar, but remained a vagrant and indulged in gossip. While wandering, he met a police superintendent, Mr. Kennedy, who employed him as a Sepoy for a monthly salary of nine rupees. It was when he was working as a Hawaldar in the police force that Nanasaheb Chandorkar took him to Sai Baba. Nanasaheb was the deputy collector at that time (around 1890), and Das Ganu accompanied him to ingratiate himself with Nanasaheb, but with no particular desire to see Baba. Das Ganu took a great deal of interest in Tamashas and village plays of an erotic and somewhat obscene nature, and even took part in them. He dressed like a female and pranced about in great delight. He also composed poems impromptu. Neither his professional ways, nor his personal life, met with Baba's approval. Baba wanted Das Ganu to walk a different path. With considerable effort, Das Ganu gradually withdrew from play-acting, but the police-force career was another matter. For more than 10 years, he resisted Baba's admonitions until fate wove such a web that circumstances compelled him to resign from the force, after several mishaps. In fact, if Baba had not extended his protection, Das Ganu would have been punished and disgraced, and might have even faced death. After retiring from the force, Das Ganu followed Baba's advice and settled at Nanded. He spent his time performing Kirtans, going where his devotees invited him. The annual Kirtan at Shirdi, on Baba's Urus, which coincided with Ram Navami festival, was also delivered by Das Ganu, even during Baba's times, from 1914. He kept up the custom for several decades, thereafter. His wife's death in 1919 left him childless, but unfettered to pursue the path of a Kirtankar. No monetary collections were made by Das Ganu for his work as a Kirtankar. He performed his Brahminical duties, carried on Puranik studies, and performed Kirtans, at which he was excellent. His needs were well taken care of by the devotees from various parts of the country with whom he stayed, upon their invitation. After all, Baba had assured him about his temporal welfare. Besides being a Kirtankar, he wrote several books, amongst which are Sant Katha Amrita in 1903, Bhakta Leela Amrita in 1906, and Bhakta Saar Amrita in 1925. The first book features some stories about Baba, and Baba is said to have blessed the effort. Though Das Ganu was one of the foremost Bhaktas of Baba, he did not spend too much time with Baba. Even when he was in Shirdi, he rarely saw Baba, who would not allow him to stay for long in the Masjid. He bade him to go to Vitthal Mandir, where Das Ganu lived and wrote about the lives of saints, or spent his time repeating the Vishnu Sahasranam. The spread of Baba's fame, especially in Maharashtra, is largely due to Das Ganu's Kirtans. But, it is true that his own faith in Baba was not very strong, and often wavered, as at heart, he believed Baba to be a Muslim saint, and not a Poorna Parabrahma. Despite the well-known miracle that Baba performed of making water flow from both his feet, in lieu of the Ganga in which Das Ganu wished to bathe, he was unable to drink that palmful of water which he gathered as Tirth, but only sprinkled it over his head. As he was a Brahmin, Das Ganu thought that he would be polluted by drinking th...

The main stories of chapter six are about the celebration of the Urus and the Ram Navami festivals, and the renovation of the Masjid. At the time of the construction of the Sabha Mandap, Baba flew into a rage, held a pillar with one hand and Tatya's neck with the other. Then, shaking the pillar vigorously, He uprooted it. Baba took off Tatya's Pheta, lit it, and threw it into the pit. Then, he took a rupee coin from his pocket and threw that too into the pit. A short while later, Baba became calm, and later, presented Tatya with a beautifully embroidered Pheta. I shall now talk about the Urus and Ram Navami festivals. Urus literally means the wedding with God, or uniting of the soul with God at the time of death. It is an annual celebration, and was started on the 16th of March, 1897, by Gopalrao Gund, who was the circle inspector of Kopergaon at that time. Gopalrao had three wives but no children. With Baba's blessings, a son was born to him. Out of gratitude, he wanted to venerate Baba as an Auliya. Baba's permission was sought, and Baba gave his consent. However, the Kulkarni of the village opposed it as he was concerned that, with a shortage of water and the arrival of thousands of devotees into Shirdi for the celebrations, there would be an outbreak of cholera. One of the two wells had brackish water, so Baba threw some flowers into it and the water turned sweet. The other well had insufficient water, so Tatya Patil had to arrange to get water from a well situated far away by fixing moats to it. Thus, the water problem was solved, the official consent was obtained, and the festival was celebrated with great pomp. The Sandal procession was started by Amir Shakkar of Korhale on Friday, the 7th of April, 1911, and as it was Ram Navami that day, this festival was also celebrated on the same day. I often wondered how the Urus were celebrated in Shirdi when Baba was still alive. I asked Pawar Kaka, author of the Bhavartha Sai Satcharita, about this, and he told me that Urus were celebrated for those Auliyas, or Pirs, who had attained the zenith of their spiritual powers. They were still living and were being honoured and venerated by celebrating the Urus for them. These Pirs are known as Jindavalis, and have magnificent spiritual powers. Baba was Supreme, and much more than any Jindavali. Now, Ghanibai, a descendant of Abdul Baba, is celebrating the Urus. These celebrations are then followed by the Sandal procession. The Sandal procession takes place between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., when the descendants of Abdul Baba perform this beautiful ceremony. A platter with sandalwood scrapings, along with incense, is taken in procession around the village to the accompaniment of music. The platter, the incense, and the gifts to be offered are carried under a canopy. The canopy consists of a Galif, or Chadar, which is attached to four wooden poles. The Galif is green in colour with golden Kalams written, or inscribed, on it. On top of every post is a Panja, a silver replica of a hand. The Sandal procession to venerate the Auliyas, the Muslim saints, is described in chapter 6 of the Sai Satcharita. At the Samadhi Mandir, gifts like Chadar, fruits and sweets are offered. The procession then goes to Abdul Baba's Dargah, and again, the gifts are offered there. The procession ends in the Dwarka Mai, where sandalwood mixed with rose water and Ittar are pasted on the Nimbar with bare hands. Now, here are some little known facts about Baba and the festival of Ram Navami. It was on Friday, the 7th of April, 1911, that the festival of Ram Navami was celebrated. It was Krishnarao Jogeshwar Bheeshma who proposed the idea of celebrating the Ram Navami festival as it fell on the same day as the Urus. Baba's permission was obtained, and it is being celebrated to this day in Shirdi. On that auspicious day, two ornamental flags were taken in procession. A beautiful flag was brought by Damu Anna Rasne and the other by Nanasaheb Nimonkar. With a great deal of merriment, the flags were taken in procession around the village, and hoisted in two corners of the Dwarka Mai. A cradle was placed in the Dwarka Mai to celebrate the birth of Lord Shri Ram, and there were Kirtans and Bhajans throughout the day. The next day, Gopal Kala was performed and the festivities ended. Baba celebrated Ram Navami right from the early days of His stay in the Dwarka Mai. On this auspicious day, He washed the entire Dwarka Mai Himself. At about 12 noon, He bought a little oil and a few lamps. From the rest of the money, He bought some Gulal, and put some on Dhuni Mai and then on His own head. Then, He put some on each step leading to the Dwarka Mai, and each and every corner, and finally applied some to the entrance. Later, when the devotees started flocking to Shirdi, they had Katha and Kirtan in the Sabha Mandap, followed by the birth of Lord Shri Ram, after which, Baba distributed Pedas and Barfis. (Reference: Shiladhi, by Dr. Keshav B. Gavan...

Chapter 7 is one which I found very insightful because it describes so much about Sai Baba Himself, the first being this radical acceptance of both Hindus and Muslims and to what an amazing degree - calling the Masjid Dwarka Mai, allowing celebrations of Ram Navami and Gokulashtami. It was so fascinating and I wonder, in those times, what was the actual reaction of the people. Here was a Master who actually took action regarding unity. He didn't just speak about it. This Jugalbandi, this beautiful harmonising of two faiths, according to me, is unprecedented the way He did it in His time. It is something not to be taken lightly because, you see, he was walking the talk of His message. If His message is Everyone's God is one, then He was showing it in action. It was up to the people to follow that. So, I do feel what He did is absolutely stupendous in those days, living by example, and the insights we get into His activities show that He was an accomplished Yogi. The incident of His limbs being found in the different corners, and the person who saw it running away scared. That is actually a Yoga called the Khanda Manda Yoga. And it is a yoga which Yogis undertake to test themselves, to test their identification with their body, and they had the ability to rejuvenate those limbs. So these practices, like Khanda Manda Yoga and Dhauti (the washing of the intestines by bringing them out), once again show the Yogic mastery of Sai Baba. Then, it says He was like a Hakeem dispensing medicines for healing. Here, another aspect is revealed. So, truly, it is a most beautiful description of Shirdi Sai Baba's varied masteries over many disciplines. It is actually as if there are different people who would master each discipline, but here, it was all in one. So, this chapter becomes very crucial for someone to see the width, the range, the expanse of dominion that Sai Baba had over various occult sciences. That is why this is one of my favourite chapters. I do know that the whole of Sai Satcharita is strewn with miracles, but this particular chapter, and the incidents mentioned therein, show compassion like never before. All His acts were acts of compassion, particularly this one specific act, where He thrusts His hand into the fire, and later says, "I did it because a mother's baby had accidentally slipped from her hands and fallen into the blacksmith's forge." So He took the brunt of the Karma to save the baby. This is truly a glorious example of compassion. Or, when the bubonic plague struck, and he lifted his Dhoti and showed people the buboes (swellings), which were on His legs. This is the peak of compassion that the suffering is taken on upon His own body. And this reminds me of something very beautiful that I had read. It is a myth, of course, but it is about the Buddha. When he was at the gates of heaven, and the gatekeeper told the Buddha, "Welcome, O Master, we have been waiting for this glorious day. All in heaven are rejoicing because you have finally arrived here. We can't tell you how happy we are. Do come in." But the Buddha just stood there. So, the gatekeeper said, "Master, we urge you to walk through the gates of heaven. We are all eagerly waiting for your presence." The Buddha said, "No." The gatekeeper was quite surprised. He said, "What is the reason, Master, that you won't walk through?" And the Buddha replied, "Unless all those who follow me come in before me, only then will I walk through the gate." This is compassion. And this compassion is shown, in action, by Shirdi Sai Baba. So, for me, the breadth of this chapter 7 - right from insights into Baba's life, his mastery over sciences, and the degree of compassion, not to mention the fact that his umbrella-bearer was a leper - which means, the person doing Seva, who was closest to Him physically, who had festering wounds, was a leper! Look at the compassion shown by Sai Baba once again towards this man. It is quite stupendous when you think of this. And so, I do feel that this, for me, is one of my favourite chapters in the Satcharita, and I hope you see it from this perspective and get to know the dimensions this Master operates on. Let us not forget that all these stories in the Sai Satcharita may be about a Master, but the reason they are there is to evoke the same qualities in us, not to just keep saying, "O, Baba was so compassionate," but rather to show us the way towards true compassion. So, I hope you enjoyed this exploration and we will move forward as we go along to the other chapters.

Sri Ram depicted as a human being in Valmiki Ramayana. He goes through all human emotions like anger, grief, jealousy, love, sadness, suspicion, courage etc. but does not allow emotions to overwhelm him. We discuss how he was an Ideal Son Ideal Student Ideal Brother Ideal Husband Ideal King Ideal Friend Why did he not return when called by Bharat and whole Ayodhya? Why did he kill Vali from behind? Why did he send Sitaji to the forest? Many such questions are discussed in this and we try to understand how Sri Rama lived Dharma. The talk is followed by Sri Ram Janma, His Janma-Stuti, 108 names, Aarti & Q n A.
