Sri Sri Ravishankar's words of Wisdom

"My vision is a violence free society, disease free body, confusion free mind, inhibition free intellect, trauma free memory and sorrow free soul which is the birth right of every individual." "A wise one is happy even in bad times. And the stupid one is unhappy even in good times." "Spirituality blossoming simply means blossoming in life in all dimensions; being happy, at ease with yourself and with everybody around you." "In always wanting to be comfortable, you become lazy. In always wanting perfection, you become angry. In always wanting to be rich, you become greedy." "Knowledge is a burden if it robs you of innocence. Knowledge is a burden if it is not integrated into life. Knowledge is a burden if it doesn't bring joy. Knowledge is a burden if it gives you an idea that you are wise. Knowledge is a burden if it doesn't set you free. Knowledge is a burden if it makes you feel you are special." Gurudev Sri ...

Tricolour as dp of Facebook, whatsApp or Twitter

It's around few days you surely would have noticed your friends putting their whatsapp DP as national flag of India, or tricolour as the cover pic or profile pic on Facebook or Twitter. It's already in trend to set tricolour as DP on our online profiles. But did you know, much recently this kind of display of our tricolour was illegal and it's not long when an Industrialist and Congress MP Naveen Jindal had filed a PIL to allow Indians to display their flags as their entity or icon of groups. Supreme Court gave judgement in favor of Naveen Jindal and made a law named 'Flag code of India 2002' which says " The Flag Code of India 2002 permits unrestricted display of the tricolour, consistent with the honour and dignity of the flag,", ruling out the previous law which says   " using Indian flag (sic) as entity or group symbol, icon or in any form of title representation is illegal under the Prevention of Insults to National Flag Act, 1971." ...

Bharat Ratna to Atal Bihar Vajpayee and Subhash Chandra Bose 2014

The highest civilian award Bharat Ratna conferred in India to people for their exceptional service or performance of highest order. The last year 2013 Chemical Scientist Prof. CNR Rao and Indian cricketer Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar have conferred the award. Sachin had become the youngest to receive this award.

Second week of August celebrated as Sanskrit week

Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to celebrate the second week of August as the Sanskrit week. It's really a good step in promoting one of the oldest languages in the world. Sanskrit is not only one of the oldest language in the world but it's also the most suited language for computers as was published on Times Magazine in the year 1988 and was suggested by most of the computer scientists of that time. We from "Namaste India" request all our readers and especially the Indian readers to post in Sanskrit, single line, para or even a statement to mark this week as the Sanskrit week. Sanskrit is our language and we only should feel it a responsibility to give our Vedas language a status it deserves. I hope each reader who reading this would surely post a status on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp or any social network in Sanskrit just to show his/her love for the language of Sanskrit.
