In this powerful and mysterious episode of Sant Attar Singh Ji Jeevan Katha (Audio Book), we hear a remarkable sakhi from the life of Sant Attar Singh Ji Maharaj that reflects the depth of faith, Divine Hukam, and the extraordinary spiritual journey of a true Sant.One day, Sant Ji quietly left Rawalpindi without informing anyone, leaving his companions asleep. He reached the railway station alone and, with the help of a devotee, traveled to Dhan Mangal. Meanwhile, the Sangat became deeply concerned and searched throughout the surrounding areas for Sant Ji.Eventually, his companions traced him to Dhan Mangal and discovered that Sant Ji had reportedly been lying unconscious in bed for two days. Yet, as soon as the Sangat arrived, Sant Ji suddenly sat up.When the devotees asked, “Maharaj, what has happened?”, Sant Ji simply explained that everything was happening according to Hukam.The devotees later learned that Sant Ji may have been given mercury (para) and had remained unconscious. His rising at the arrival of the Sangat became another remarkable incident in this chapter of his life.The title of this episode, “Sant Kau Mat Nidho, Sant Ram Hai Iko,” reminds us of the Sikh teaching that we should never criticize or judge a true Sant, recognizing the Divine presence in spiritually realized souls.

In this inspiring episode of Sant Attar Singh Ji Jeevan Katha (Audio Book), we explore the remarkable spread of Naam, Gurbani, and Amrit Parchar throughout the Pothohar region.After leaving Dera Khalsa, Sant Attar Singh Ji Maharaj quietly traveled through Dhamial, Rawalpindi, Ram Kund, Haripur, Kanohe, and Dukh Bhanjani, eventually reaching Kahuta. For some time, Sant Ji remained hidden from the public, immersed in meditation and remembrance of the Divine. Eventually, a Muslim fakir revealed his whereabouts, and the Sangat was blessed to find him.The news of Sant Ji's spiritual practice at Kahuta and his teachings among the Sangat soon spread throughout Pothohar. Devotees from different places began seeking his Darshan and guidance.One particularly touching incident involves Mai Bhagwanti, the wife of Sardar Lakhmi Singh Ji of Dera Khalsa. When she became seriously ill, she expressed her deep longing to have Darshan of Sant Ji Maharaj. Hearing her heartfelt request, Sardar Lakhmi Singh Ji traveled to Kahuta and brought Sant Ji back to Dera Khalsa. Upon arriving, Sant Ji immediately went to meet her and fulfilled her heartfelt desire for his Darshan.

Joining me today is Hrvoje Morić, here to discuss the global power transition that appears to be taking place. We discuss his recent article, "Multipolarity As World Government 3.0 & Its Pied Pipers," and the possibility that the multipolar world order that is being presented as the solution to the current reality is nothing more than a coordinated transition—a controlled demolition if you will—away from a dying globalist unipolar order, and into the new globalist multipolar order. We also discuss how this may have happened more than once in the past, what we can learn from this, and what we may be able to do about to today.  !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2q643"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");   Rumble("play", {"video":"v77ec5u","div":"rumble_v77ec5u"}); Source Links: (21) Geopolitics & Empire (@Geopolitics_Emp) / X Geopolitics & Empire Geopolitics & Empire | Substack New Tab Multipolarity As World Government 3.0 & Its Pied Pipers A United States of Europe? on JSTOR The Network State Coup And The Engineered Transition To "Tech Zionism" (26) David Icke on X: "The China Scam Deception - you are being scammed on a monumental level by calls getting louder all the time for a 'multi-polar world'.

The list of players for the Hundred auction, the England and Wales' franchise cricket competition has been confirmed. It features 16 players from Pakistan, 14 men and two women. We hear from Dr Gregory Ioanndis, professor of sports law at Sheffield Hallam University.Alison Mitchell, Aaron Bryans and Charu Sharma all react to New Zealand's stunning performance against South Africa to progress to the T20 World Cup final and we ask what would it mean for the Black Caps if they were to be crowned champions.Plus, the former England fast bowler Saj Mahmood tells us about his new platform in the UK which is aiming to make the game more affordable to youngsters.Photo Credit: Pakistan's Haris Rauf celebrates after taking the wicket of Sri Lanka's Kamindu Mendis during the second one-day international cricket match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on November 14, 2025.

Send us a textA Marine officer who helped open Pakistan's gateway to Afghanistan, coordinated CSAR basing, and carried the keys to a shuttered Kabul embassy steps into the studio to talk about combat, command, and the price of telling the truth. We walk through the early days after 9/11—commercial flights into Rawalpindi with a rucksack full of radios, late-night negotiations for overflight and basing, and the scramble to build humane, lawful processes as refugees surged and detainee operations strained capacity. Then we move to the mountains, where a lean battalion landing team rewrote SOPs, trained NCOs from scratch, welded armor onto Humvees, and led local militias with a blend of trust and hard boundaries. The outcomes were stark: historic enemy losses, zero fratricide, and a unit that fought for months on grit and discipline.What makes this story different isn't just the firefights—it's the candor about strategy and culture. We question whether invasion was the only path to bin Laden, explore how local networks and precise incentives could have achieved ends without buying the whole country, and detail the cost of confusing occupation with victory. We also pull back the curtain on headquarters-versus-field dynamics: pressure to bomb without positive ID, awards gaming, and media optics that overshadowed months of deprivation and risk. When investigations arrived over “harsh language,” the larger lesson became impossible to ignore: institutions often reward silence and punish truth, even when results in the field are undeniable. A practical field guide to moral courage—covering leadership under pressure, accountability, and hard-earned Afghanistan war lessons, with an unfiltered look at the ethics of command from someone who was there and believes we can do better. Stories of Service features guests sharing their personal experiences and opinions in their own words.

En Pakistán, algunas mujeres son asesinadas por tener una cuenta en TikTok, una de las redes sociales más populares del país. El 11 de julio en Rawalpindi, una joven de 16 años fue asesinada a tiros por su padre tras negarse a eliminar su perfil. Un mes antes, Sana Yousaf, de 17 años y con casi un millón de seguidores, fue asesinada en su casa de Islamabad por un hombre cuyas insinuaciones había rechazado. Las influencers en Pakistán son estigmatizadas y violentadas. 

In Pakistan, some women are murdered simply for having a TikTok account, one of the most popular social media platforms in the country. On July 11, in Rawalpindi, a 16-year-old girl was shot dead by her father because she refused to delete her profile.

Join the Murali End as they review all the action from the 1st ODI between Pakistan and Sri Lanka as part of Sri Lanka's tour of Pakistan.Pakistan edged out Sri Lanka by 6 runs in a thrilling first ODI in Rawalpindi to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Salman Agha's brilliant century (100*) and Hussain Talat's maiden fifty (56) powered Pakistan to 299/5 after a shaky start. Despite Wanindu Hasaranga's superb all-round show, 3/54 and a fighting 59 off 52 balls, Sri Lanka fell just short in their chase of 300. Haris Rauf's fiery spell (4/61) turned the game after Sri Lanka's strong 85-run opening stand. Late heroics from Wanindu and Theekshana weren't enough as Pakistan held their nerve to seal a hard-fought win.Join the Murali End Whatsapp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Val7H91JJhzfMEctCp1P

Once Islamabad's (or Rawalpindi's) protégés, the Taliban are now exchanging gunfire with Pakistan. The recent clashes mark the deadliest fighting between the two since Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in 2021. What changed? In this episode, host Dev Goswami and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan unpack the clash along the Durand Line -- a fight tangled in Pashtun identity, militant kinships, and Pakistan's own Frankenstein problem. The two trace the origin the Taliban, explain how it is wrongly believed to be synonymous with the Al Qaeda, and explore how its Pashtun roots put it at odds with Pakistan's military elite. Also a topic of discussion is the TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan) and how it seems to be punching above its weight. And finally, the episode looks at India's cautious recent outreach to Kabul and how it fits into this very messy map. Tune in! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by

Casualties as India attacks Pakistan and Islamabad 'downs Indian jets' in retaliation Pakistan says India has launched strikes at six different sites, killing at least 26 people and injuring 46 more. In response, Islamabad claims its Air Force has shot down five Indian warplanes and some drones, calling the Indian attack ""cowardly and shameful" At a pre-dawn news conference in Rawalpindi, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said India used a variety of weapons to hit six targets, resulting in 24 impact sites. He added that the strikes hit locations inside Pakistan and in Pakistan-administered Kashmir—including a mosque. It's a shame, Trump says as India launches attack on Pakistan Over in Washington, US President Donald Trump reacted to the India-Pakistan escalation by calling it ""a shame"", and said he hoped the situation would cool off quickly. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said they'd just gotten word of the strikes as they were walking into the Oval Office. He noted that many people expected something like this might happen, given the long and tense history between the two countries.

Born in Rawalpindi in 1942, playwright and author Swadesh Deepak made Ambala his home. He lived there until 2006, when one day he stepped out of his house for a walk and never returned. His play “Court Martial” is said to have had over 5000 shows across the country and yet Deepak shunned fame. Battling Bipolar disorder he stepped away for treatment, keeping little contact with the outside world. His return to the world of letters was momentous with an autobiographical account of his illness, Maine Mandu Nahin Dekha, and the play Sabse Udaas Kavita. He went on to win the 2004 Sahitya Akademi Award. Swadesh Deepak has not been found to this date. #swadeshdeepak #courtmartial #sahitya #hindi #audio #story #stories #storytelling
