Bha:rath has celebrated 25, 50, 60 and 70 years of Independence. However, 75 years of Independence – Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav is awakening everyone with a spirit of oneness with Har Ghar ka Tiranga. Such a spirit can come only when there is an encouraging leadership in the nation. PM Sri Narendra Modi ji and the teams are leading such sincere efforts.
Twenty feet by thirty feet national flag on a 108 feet high post will stand hoisted from today onwards at the Statue of Equality. It must inspire and remind every visitor of the responsibility that lies on with everyone to see Bha:rath high up in the world arena.
Remembering a discussion with an American
It was about more than a decade ago when we visited the Hall of Presidents in the state of Florida, USA. An American said, “Why is India in such a state despite having thousands of years of history, look at America! We have flourished to a super power stature in the world because of these several great Presidents.”
We said, “It’s been more than 200+ years since America got independence from British rule. Bha:rath got Independence only about 60 years ago. Given some time, the nation will not only regain the past glory but also become a helping hand to the entire world.”
We are currently witnessing Bha:rath’s empowered march towards it already as we celebrate 75 years of Independence. Agriculture to aerospace, medicine to meditation, and in every spectrum Bharath is moving ahead.
A Sage and a Snake
A sage was walking by and saw a snake. He tried to put it away from the path where people walk by. It hissed at him when he tried to do so. The sage tried again. The snake hissed again. He kept trying. The snake kept hissing.
People around asked the sage, “Why are you trying to put it away despite it hissing at you?”
The sage replied, “The snake is following its dharma. It is trying to protect itself thinking I may hurt it. As human beings, we must also follow our dharma, to put it away from where children play, and all other people live so they can feel protected and safer.”
While Bha:rath welcomes everyone with open arms, she will not keep quiet if someone endangers anything that constitutes its spirit and breath.
– From the discourse of HH Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji
– 15th August 2022, Statue of Equality
Today marks HH Sri Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji’s 114th Thirunakshathram, the day of appearance. Swamiji encouraged women to learn and take part in social service and spiritual activities so the children and the entire families can walk the path of righteousness. Swamiji built houses for Harijans in his land and donated it to them for supporting their livelihood. Swamiji inspired thousands of people to step forward and act responsibly in life through countless exceptional and revered activities.
The priests at Jagadrakshaka Perumal, Sri Villiputthur and Thirukko:shtiyur have offered worshipful garlands to HH Sri Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji in honour of the special day.
The three colors, thiranga must remind everyone not just episodes from pre Independence, but also enable and rise us all to act with courage and devotion to the motherland every moment. Let’s learn from the past, act with the right spirit in the present and pave a wonderful path for the future.
JIVA vedic school, Netra Vidyalaya, JIMS medical college students have all come together to celebrate this joy through dancing, singing, performing in skits, and more. Principal Leaders of all the three educational institutions spoke during the event encouraging every student and thanking on behalf of their students for the opportunity to serve the nation and dharma.
Nina Nanda ji shared her thoughts on how important it is to act responsibly everyday remembering the past for a brighter future. HH Sri Ahobila Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamiji, Dr. Samudrala Rangaramanujacharya Swamiji blessed the gathered audience with their valuable message.
Tune into JETWORLD YouTube channel for the video to watch the wonderful event.
My sincere opinion and request. Please do not mix religion and politics, do not mix religion and nation. Praising honorable PM Modi in this forum is inappropriate and it probably lowers his stature by projecting him as just a Hindu and also lowers the stature of his holiness Chinna jeeyar swamiji.
Om Shrimate Ramanujaya Namaha 🙏
Jai Jai Jeeyer Swamy ji , His guidance to us towards spiritual and patriotic ways is Very Very Great , Sahasrapadabhi vandanamylu 🙏🙏🙏
