Loving Rascal

Cultural Indianness or Hindutva is often misinterpreted and equated with Hinduism. Hindutva or Indianness doesn't demand allegiance to any deity. There are Atheists, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs, and even Christ-followers who are part of this movement. They are culturally Indian, but they have their own unique religious beliefs. Hindutva emphasizes non-violence (Ahimsa), truth (Satya), peace (Shanti), vegetarianism (Shakhahar), vernacular languages (Hindi, Sanskrit, and regional languages), Indian products (Swadeshi), and self-governance  (Swaraj). None of these stand against faith in God or worshipping a specific deity. Besides, Hindutva has no casteism, and Hinduism requires caste-based differentiation. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee launched the Bengali Hindu Homeland Movement after the Noakholi genocide of Hindus by Muslim League mobs. Mr. Mukherjee wanted Bengal to stay united with Bharat. He also recommended Bengal's partition in 1946 to prevent including Hindu areas in East Pakistan...

The Bharatiya Janata Party has a better vision for our country. They have implemented it well in many places. That is why, hardly anybody leaves the BJP. In sharp contrast, the opposition is filled with people who don't know how to work as a team or have any vision for our country's development. Now, the BJP has the highest membership (14 Cr), and is also the most prosperous political party in the world.  1. Development. Modiji's vision is development of all without any divisive agenda. His government has developed our infrastructure –roads, railways, bridges, buildings– to a new level compared to what the previous governments had achieved. Our GDP grew to the fourth largest in the world, and people are more optimistic about their own growth.  2. No Terrorism. We know how terrorists were treated when the Congress ruled our country. Modiji's government won't feed the Kasab kind of terrorist a biriyani, they will give him the right treatment, "Modi ki goli."...

The opposition leader said, "English is Power." I would say, "Yes, English is Power to the English, not Indians." English empowers and cements the colonial past of our country. English is helpful internationally, but our national language cannot be the colonizer's language. The French did not become a powerful country because they spoke advanced English, nor did the Germans or Israelis. Our national language is Hindi. Even Mahatma Gandhi wanted Hindi to be our national language. Some people are propagating that India has no national language. Others are propagating that we have twenty-two national languages. It is utter foolishness.  We need to respect our languages and our culture first. France, Italy, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Russia, China, and even Spain have a national language that resembles the name of the country. They are developing much better than the former slaves of the British Empire, spread throughout the world. Russia and China di...

Yogic breathing exercises offer unique benefits for specific health conditions such as Asthma and Sinusitis. They have been proven to be beneficial for patients with chronic lung and heart diseases. In addition, many other yoga exercises are effective in managing joint pains, sciatica, lower back aches, and abdominal complaints such as flatulence and constipation. I have personally witnessed individuals experiencing relief from these conditions after incorporating yoga into their routines. Furthermore, yoga is a natural and effective way to lose weight and manage stress. Happy International Yoga Day! From a Christian perspective, when we unite with God through Christ by grace, it can be termed Kristu Yogaha in Hindustani terms. Yoga means union. Jesus said, "I and the Father are One. (John 10:30) On that day, you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you." (John 14:20) Even so, this union is not the same as Advaita where the creation merges with ...

A few days ago, in Kerala, a minister refused to participate in a programme at the Governor's office. He said that the Bharat Mata icon placed at the Governor's place negatively affected his conscience in a secular Kerala. Even Gandhiji, the father of our nation, never had a conscience problem with the Bharat mata icon. However, the communists are utterly distraught. In my view, the communists are using Muslim and Christian people's religious sensitivity based on faith in a living God as a tool to divide the society. Why are they doing so?  If the communists can get 30-40 percent votes, which they think Muslims and Christians would provide, they can still win. No Communists actually believes in the Muslim God or the Christian God. They are atheists, aren't they? Therefore, what we need to do is help people understand that Bharat mata is not about religious beliefs. It is a metaphor we use to represent our country's unity. The British introduced the concept of the mo...

When our Prime Minister Modi visited Croatia, people welcomed him in a traditional Hindustani way. They recited Hindu Slokas, sang Hindu bhajans, spoke in Hindi, and even included Indian dances. Modiji must have cherished the respect they showed toward Bharat's culture. Mutual respect is a Judeo-Christian tradition. Even so, many Westerners have not displayed this level of love for Hindustan. I feel excited about how they honor Indian people and their cultural ways. It was a grand gesture of hospitality. They also sang the Gayatri Mantra, which is as follows.   गायत्री मंत्र हिंदी में इस प्रकार है : ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्।।    Om Bhur Bhuvah Swaha . Tat Savitur Varenyam. Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi. Dhiyo Yo Nah Pracho Dayateh.   Roughly, the Gayatri mantra translates to: "We meditate on the glory of that Divine Light, the Sun, which nourishes all, removes all sins and afflictio...

I stand with Israel. It's the right time and right thing to do. Unless Hamas returns the hostages, Israel won't end their counter-attack. They must end the madness of Iran-empowered Terrorists. Iran is empowering Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houtis. Terrorism is a worldwide phenomenon now. The terrorists don't fight against soldiers, but kill unarmed civilians. Then, they hide behind unarmed civilians to save themselves. That is why, many civilian casualties are reported when the military of a sovereign nation (Israel or India) does their counter-attack. Thus, terrorism kills unarmed, harmless civilians in both territories.  Many Muslims say there's no place for Terrorism in Islam. If it is true, they must use their unity and put in the efforts to nip Terrorism in the bud within their families. I pray for a day when terrorism would come to an end. We believe that if Iran is allowed to develop into a nuclear power, it will create more chaos and destruction in the world than any...

The disparity of income between the super-rich and poor may have increased in our country. We cannot compare the income of an Ambani-sized industrialist with that of an average person. However, the gross national income, as well as the per capita income of the lower-middle classes, has grown compared to what it used to be, such that people are living more comfortable lives than they were ten years ago. If you ask Americans, you'd also find a trillionaire and a beggar in the same society. Does it mean that America is lagging or is not growing?   Second, people's growth potential has increased phenomenally. Almost anybody can aspire to reach great heights in this country now: skill, merit, and quality matter more than recommendations. Further, Modiji has developed India's infrastructure to a level where many investors are interested in the country. We know what our condition was ten years ago and where our country is now. There's a huge difference. ...

God created people in his image. Many scholars interpret the idea of the image as representing the Spirit since God is a Spiritual being. Even so, I think a more accurate interpretation is God created people in the image of love since God is love. Besides, God created people with love. Again, God created people to love one another. Further, love is the only sign that identifies people as Jesus' disciples (John 13:35). Therefore, love is God's image, command, purpose, and the sign of Jesus' discipleship. Love without holiness is no love. And, holiness without love is no holiness. Those who love God keep his commandments. They love others so they don't steal, kill, rape, testify falsely, or covet others' belongings. Those who love God would not represent the living and loving God with dead idols. They wouldn't take his name in vain or desecrate his worship. God-worshippers would honor their parents and not dishonor them. I know a person who I love much, but I hate...

The following are my reasons for leaving the pseudo-secular parties of Bharat and joining the BJP. 1. They endorsed Terrorist groups (First, Hamas against Israel. Second, they are faulting the Indian Military instead of the Pakistani Terror Factory). We firmly stand with Bharat and its military in its fight against Terrorism, not the people who undermine the security of our nation and do the bidding of Pakistan. Modiji's firm commitment to combat Terrorism is ensuring our protection. 2. They lied about Ambani and Adani (They called Ambani and Adani corrupt and criticized Modiji. They even called him Chowkidar chor hai. We trusted what they said. Then, the Indi leaders gave the Vizhinjyam Seaport to Mr Adani. Either Indi leaders are lying about Adani, or they are as corrupt as they claim Modiji or Adani is. We don't trust liars. 3. They said they would bring the caste census to increase reservations. Now, the BJP is ready to do it. What's the Indi Alliance's vision for o...

  To those who ask: Where was Modi immediately after the Pahalgam attack? Here is our answer. Many years ago, an atheist asked Augustine, "Where was God before the beginning?" He replied, "God was preparing hell for you." Similarly, Modiji was planning a hellfire for Pakistani terrorists in his discussion with the Indian Military. Amit Shah went to Pahalgam to console and pay homage to the victims. Modiji gave the Indian military a free hand to settle the score with the terrorists. The military responded strongly with Operation Sindoor. International Terrorist Azhar Masood ran out of his hideout, and he lost ten of his family members in Bharat's counterattack. India destroyed nine terror targets in Pakistan.   Meanwhile, Modiji inaugurated Vizhinjam Seaport without hinting at his counterattack against Terrorists. Perhaps he did so to hold the element of surprise. Modiji silenced the INDI Alliance fools who had accused Him of cronyism by lin...

Rahul Gandhi is so foolish. He thinks he can say whatever he wants against our military. If he trusts the Pakistani military more, let him migrate. First, he said, "The PM is Gayab (invisible) and incapable." Then, he said, "We gave away crucial information before attacking Pakistani Terror Targets." After this, he claimed that Operation Sindoor was not successful. He is asking the same questions as Pakistan, such as how many jets did India lose? The Indian military clearly said, "All our Pilots returned safely." Why is Rahulji giving false information and empowering the counter-narrative that Pakistan is trying to spread? If Shashi Tharoor is the super spokesperson of all Bharatiya people, Rahul Gandhi has become the super spokesperson of Pakistan and its Terror Factory. We are disappointed with Rahul Gandhi's repeated remarks against the Indian military. Now, Rahulji says India surrendered to Trump's call and did not complete the operation. We ne...
