🌙 Happy #Mahashivratri 2025! On this sacred night of Shiva, may you find inner strength, peace, and clarity. Let the spirit of transformation fill your heart with courage and wisdom. Just as Shiva remains unshaken amidst the chaos, may you stand strong in every storm of life. As Sadhguru says: "Mahashivratri is not a night for sleeping; it is a night to awaken to the limitless nature of who you are." May the divine energy of Shiva bless you and your loved ones with joy, prosperity, and spiritual growth. 🔥 Har Har Mahadev! 🔥 ========================================================= Story: The Light of Shiva: A Shivratri Inspiration On a cold night atop the Himalayas, a young seeker named Aryan wandered through the snow-covered trails, searching for deeper meaning in life. Feeling lost and burdened by worldly worries, he decided to spend Mahashivratri in meditation, hoping for a sign from Lord Shiva. As midnight approached, Aryan sat under an ancient banyan tree, closing his eyes and chanting Om Namah Shivaya. The stillness of the night was broken only by the whispering winds. Suddenly, a sage appeared before him—a radiant figure with ash smeared on his forehead and a serene smile. "Why do you seek Shiva outside?" the sage asked. Aryan, startled yet in awe, replied, "I wish to feel his presence, to understand his boundless wisdom and strength." The sage chuckled and said, "Shiva is not outside; he is within. He is the stillness in your breath, the fire in your spirit, the vastness of your mind. When you embrace silence, you embrace Shiva." At that moment, Aryan realized the true meaning of Mahashivratri—a night of transformation, awakening, and self-realization. With newfound clarity, he bowed to the sage, who vanished into the darkness, leaving behind only the echo of wisdom. From that night on, Aryan lived fearlessly, embracing life's challenges with the strength of Shiva within him.

The US imposed sanctions on four Pakistani entities. These entities supported Pakistan's ballistic missile program. The sanctions target the National Development Complex and three private companies. These companies supplied equipment and items for long-range missiles. The US expressed concerns about Pakistan's missile development. They will continue to engage with Pakistan on this issue Pakistan has denounced new US sanctions on the country’s ballistic missile programme as “discriminatory” and said they put the region’s peace and security at risk. Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday warned in a statement that the sanctions “have dangerous implications for strategic stability of our region and beyond”. US Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer said the missile programme could allow Pakistan to strike targets "well beyond South Asia, including in the US". The list includes 1. The National Development Complex (NDC): The complex is located in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad and has worked towards acquiring items in furtherance of Pakistan’s long-range ballistic missile program - including special vehicle chassis intended to be used as launch support equipment for ballistic missiles and missile testing equipment. “The United States assesses NDC is responsible for Pakistan’s development of ballistic missiles, including the SHAHEEN-series ballistic missiles,” the department said 2. Akhtar and Sons Private Limited: The company is located in Karachi. The department claimed that it worked for NDC to supply a range of equipment to help with the program 3. Affiliates International: The entity is also located in Karachi and has facilitated procurements of missile-applicable items for NDC and others in support of Pakistan’s ballistic missile program. 4. Rockside Enterprise: The department claimed that the company located in Karachi has also supplied equipment to NDC

Washington, Nov 13 (IANS) US President-elect Donald Trump has named John Ratcliffe, a former congressman and Director of National Intelligence, as his Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, contrary to feverish speculation that the job was going to Kash Patel, an Indian-American. Trump had pushed for Patel as acting director of the CIA in the dying months of this first term as President. The Indian-American lawyer had made news for driving congressional opposition to investigation of Trump’s links to Russia as an aide to a top Republican lawmaker. He was widely expected to get the CIA directorship, given his unstinting loyalty to the former president. He did not get it, but he might still be in the running for a stop position in the Trump administration. The position of the Director of National Intelligence is still open. John Ratcliffe was the Director of Intelligence in the last Trump administration. The Trump-Vance transition team said in an announcement, “I am pleased to announce that former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe will serve as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). “From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation, to catching the FBI’s abuse of Civil Liberties at the FISA Court, John Ratcliffe has always been a warrior for Truth and Honesty with the American Public. When 51 Intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, there was one, John Ratcliffe, telling the truth to the American People. “For these and many other reasons, it was my great honour in 2020 to award John the National Security Medal, the Nation’s highest honour for distinguished achievement in the field of Intelligence and National Security. “I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve in both of our Nation’s highest Intelligence positions. He will be a fearless fighter for the Constitutional Rights of all Americans, while ensuring the Highest Levels of National Security, and PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.” --IANS

On this auspicious day of Bhai Tika, also celebrated as Bhai Dooj in India, we honor the sacred bond of love and commitment between brothers and sisters—a bond that transcends lifetimes and echoes the teachings of our ancient Sanatan scriptures. This festival, deeply rooted in our Sanatan Dharma, is a beautiful reminder of the divine relationship between siblings, where love, protection, and unwavering support are at the core of this union. The Vedas remind us that the bond between siblings is a microcosm of unity and harmony within families and communities, illustrating the power of togetherness and shared destiny. This day is a celebration of the promise to stand by each other through every challenge, to uplift one another, and to cherish the gift of having a sibling to share life’s journey. Today, as sisters apply the sacred tika on their brothers' foreheads, they offer their prayers for their brothers’ well-being, strength, and prosperity. And in return, brothers vow to protect, respect, and love their sisters eternally. May this divine exchange bring blessings, joy, and peace into every home. To all brothers and sisters around the world, may this #BhaiTika strengthen your bond and inspire you to keep love, harmony, and understanding alive. Wishing everyone a blessed and joyous Bhai Tika filled with the timeless spirit of Sanatan Dharma and the blessings of our sacred traditions.

Donald J. Trump said: "I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos. It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength! We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi. Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. By contrast, I cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history. We will do it again, bigger and better than ever before—and we will Make America Great Again. Also, Happy Diwali to All. I hope the Festival of Lights leads to the Victory of Good over Evil!" --- Report on the Statement: In a recent social media post, former U.S. President Donald J. Trump expressed strong condemnation of violent incidents targeting Hindus, Christians, and other minorities in Bangladesh, labeling the situation there as chaotic. Trump's message emphasizes his stance that such unrest would not have occurred during his tenure, while he criticizes current U.S. leadership under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly neglecting Hindu communities worldwide. Trump contrasts his administration's policies with those of Biden and Harris, particularly around issues of taxation, regulation, and business support. He attributes his previous administration's policies to strengthening the economy through tax cuts and reduced regulations, implying that the current administration's approach, led by Harris, would negatively impact small businesses. The statement also includes a message of solidarity for Hindu Americans, asserting that Trump's leadership would counter what he terms the "anti-religion agenda of the radical left" and bolster ties with India, highlighting his personal connection with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Concluding with a Diwali greeting, Trump expresses hope that the holiday will symbolize a triumph of good over evil, aligning his message with the themes of the festival.

On this auspicious occasion of Mata Laxmi Puja, let us extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Goddess of wealth, wisdom, and prosperity. This beautiful day of Tihar, also known as Deepawali in India, radiates hope, love, and unity. It is a time for all to invite Maa Laxmi into our hearts and homes, lighting diyas and praying for her blessings to illuminate our lives with abundance and joy. Deepawali and Laxmi Puja: Celebrating the Divine Marriage of Goddess Laxmi and Lord Vishnu Introduction Deepawali, known as Tihar in Nepal, is a festival of wealth, prosperity, love, and light. It fills our lives with positivity, happiness, and unity. In Hindu tradition, this day is dedicated to worshipping Goddess Laxmi, inviting her blessings of prosperity and peace into our homes. This festival brings joy and blessings to the entire community. Clarifying the Misconception About Lord Ram’s Return Many believe that Deepawali celebrates the return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya after defeating Ravan. However, this popular belief isn’t entirely accurate. According to Valmiki's Ramayana, Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya immediately the next day after completing his 14-year exile, as he had promised his beloved brother Bharat that he would not delay his return by even a day. Therefore, Lord Ram’s return and Deepawali do not fall on the same day. The True Significance of Deepawali: The Divine Marriage of Laxmi and Vishnu According to Hindu scriptures, Deepawali actually commemorates the divine marriage of Goddess Laxmi and Lord Vishnu. As described in the Vishnu Purana and other Vaishnavite texts, this day marks when Goddess Laxmi, the embodiment of wealth and prosperity, married Lord Vishnu, the protector of the universe. This sacred union sends a message of blessings, virtue, and prosperity to the world. While Lord Vishnu represents righteousness and protection, Goddess Laxmi brings wealth, love, and growth, filling our lives with peace and abundance. The Importance of Balance and Relationship The marriage of Laxmi and Vishnu teaches us that true happiness comes not just from wealth but from a balance of material and spiritual growth. This day reminds us that combining righteousness with prosperity is the path to genuine fulfillment. Conclusion Deepawali or Laxmi Puja is not just about lighting up the darkness; it celebrates the divine love, virtues, and balance embodied by Goddess Laxmi and Lord Vishnu. On this day, we come together to honor their sacred union, praying for prosperity and peace to fill our homes. Wishing all readers a very Happy Deepawali and Tihar! May your lives be filled with endless joy and prosperity. #Deepawali #LaxmiPuja #LaxmiVishnuMarriage #FestivalOfProsperity #BalanceInLife #MaaLaxmiPuja #HappyDeepawali #DivineUnion #SanatanDharma #TiharCelebrations #LightOfProsperity #Tihar
