Birthday Anniversary of Lala Lajpat Rai 28th Jauary

Lala Lajpat Rai

Lala Lajpat Rai was a prominent nationalist leader who played an important role in India’s struggle for freedom. He was a prominent member of the famous ‘Lal Bal Pal’ firebrand trio during the independence movement. His fierce brand of patriotism and potent vocalism against the British rule earned him the title of ‘Punjab Kesari’ or the Lion of the Punjab. He also initiated the foundation of Punjab National Bank. In 1897, he founded the Hindu Orphan Relief Movement to keep the Christian missions from securing custody of these children. He was badly injured in police lathi-charge on the activists, who were protesting the arrival of Simon Commission, and died a few days later due to the injuries.

Subhash Chandra Bose Birth Anniversary

Subhash Chandra Bose Birth Anniversary 23/01/2018

Subhas Chandra Bose (23 January 1897 – 18 August 1945) was an Indian nationalist whose defiant patriotism made him a hero in India, but whose attempt during World War II to rid India of British rule with the help of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japanleft a troubled legacy.The honorific Netaji (Hindustani: "Respected Leader"), first applied in early 1942 to Bose in Germany by the Indian soldiers of the Indische Legion and by the German and Indian officials in the Special Bureau for India in Berlin, was later used throughout India.

Bose had been a leader of the younger, radical, wing of the Indian National Congress in the late 1920s and 1930s, rising to become Congress President in 1938 and 1939. However, he was ousted from Congress leadership positions in 1939 following differences with Mahatma Gandhi and the Congress high command. He was subsequently placed under house arrest by the British before escaping from India in 1940.

Bose arrived in Germany in April 1941, where the leadership offered unexpected, if sometimes ambivalent, sympathy for the cause of India's independence, contrasting starkly with its attitudes towards other colonised peoples and ethnic communities. In November 1941, with German funds, a Free India Centre was set up in Berlin, and soon a Free India Radio, on which Bose broadcast nightly. A 3,000-strong Free India Legion, comprising Indians captured by Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps, was also formed to aid in a possible future German land invasion of India. By spring 1942, in light of Japanese victories in southeast Asia and changing German priorities, a German invasion of India became untenable, and Bose became keen to move to southeast Asia. Adolf Hitler, during his only meeting with Bose in late May 1942, suggested the same, and offered to arrange for a submarine. During this time Bose also became a father; his wife, or companion, Emilie Schenkl, whom he had met in 1934, gave birth to a baby girl in November 1942. Identifying strongly with the Axis powers, and no longer apologetically, Bose boarded a German submarine in February 1943. In Madagascar, he was transferred to a Japanese submarine from which he disembarked in Japanese-held Sumatra in May 1943.

With Japanese support, Bose revamped the Indian National Army (INA), then composed of Indian soldiers of the British Indian army who had been captured in the Battle of Singapore.^[20] To these, after Bose's arrival, were added enlisting Indian civilians in Malaya and Singapore. The Japanese had come to support a number of puppet and provisional governments in the captured regions, such as those in Burma, the Philippines and Manchukuo. Before long the Provisional Government of Free India, presided by Bose, was formed in the Japanese-occupied Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Bose had great drive and charisma—creating popular Indian slogans, such as "Jai Hind,"—and the INA under Bose was a model of diversity by region, ethnicity, religion, and even gender. However, Bose was regarded by the Japanese as being militarily unskilled, and his military effort was short-lived. In late 1944 and early 1945 the British Indian Army first halted and then devastatingly reversed the Japanese attack on India. Almost half the Japanese forces and fully half the participating INA contingent were killed. The INA was driven down the Malay Peninsula, and surrendered with the recapture of Singapore. Bose had earlier chosen not to surrender with his forces or with the Japanese, but rather to escape to Manchuria with a view to seeking a future in the Soviet Union which he believed to be turning anti-British. He died from third degree burns received when his plane crashed in Taiwan. Some Indians, however, did not believe that the crash had occurred, with many among them, especially in Bengal, believing that Bose would return to gain India's independence.

The Indian National Congress, the main instrument of Indian nationalism, praised Bose's patriotism but distanced itself from his tactics and ideology,especially his collaboration with fascism.The British Raj, though never seriously threatened by the INA,charged 300 INA officers with treason in the INA trials, but eventually backtracked in the face both of popular sentiment and of its own end.

वसंत पंचमी

वसंत पंचमी 22/01/2018

On this day a speech was given by Harshita VII and Ruhani VI

वसंत पंचमी या श्रीपंचमी एक हिन्दू त्योहार है। इस दिन विद्या की देवी सरस्वती की पूजा की जाती है। यह पूजा पूर्वी भारत, पश्चिमोत्तर बांग्लादेश, नेपाल और कई राष्ट्रों में बड़े उल्लास से मनायी जाती है। इस दिन स्त्रियाँ पीले वस्त्र धारण करती हैं।

प्राचीन भारत और नेपाल में पूरे साल को जिन छह मौसमों में बाँटा जाता था उनमें वसंत लोगों का सबसे मनचाहा मौसम था। जब फूलों पर बहार आ जाती, खेतों में सरसों का सोना चमकने लगता, जौ और गेहूँ की बालियाँ खिलने लगतीं, आमों के पेड़ों पर बौर आ जाता और हर तरफ़ रंग-बिरंगी तितलियाँ मँडराने लगतीं। वसंत ऋतु का स्वागत करने के लिए माघ महीने के पाँचवे दिन एक बड़ा जश्न मनाया जाता था जिसमें विष्णु और कामदेव की पूजा होती, यह वसंत पंचमी का त्यौहार कहलाता था। शास्त्रों में बसंत पंचमी को ऋषि पंचमी से उल्लेखित किया गया है, तो पुराणों-शास्त्रों तथा अनेक काव्यग्रंथों में भी अलग-अलग ढंग से इसका चित्रण मिलता है।

National Youth Day

National Youth Day is celebrated on Swami Vivekanand's Birth Anniversary on 12 January every Year.

On this day a speech was given by Yashdeep VII.

Swami Vivekananda (12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission.He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.

Born into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his guru, Ramakrishna, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. He later travelled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated there as National Youth Day.

Some Quotes by Sami ji:

उठो, जागो और तब तक नहीं रुको जब तक लक्ष्य ना प्राप्त हो जाये.

उठो मेरे शेरो, इस भ्रम को मिटा दो कि तुम निर्बल हो, तुम एक अमर आत्मा हो, स्वच्छंद जीव हो, धन्य हो, सनातन हो, तुम तत्व नहीं हो, ना ही शरीर हो, तत्व तुम्हारा सेवक है तुम तत्व के सेवक नहीं हो.

ब्रह्माण्ड की सारी शक्तियां पहले से हमारी हैं. वो हमीं हैं जो अपनी आँखों पर हाँथ रख लेते हैं और फिर रोते हैं कि कितना अन्धकार है!

जिस तरह से विभिन्न स्रोतों से उत्पन्न धाराएँ अपना जल समुद्र में मिला देती हैं, उसी प्रकार मनुष्य द्वारा चुना हर मार्ग, चाहे अच्छा हो या बुरा भगवान तक जाता है.
