Janmashtami: Birth of Lord Krishna

Janmashtami is one of the Indian, religious festivals which is celebrated on the eighth day of Sravan month according to the Hindu calendar, which usually falls during the month of August or September. Janmashtami marks the birth of Lord Krishna who is a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu which dates back to more than five thousand years ago. During that era, there was a very cruel and unfair ruler name Kans in Mathura, UP. People of Mathura were having a very hard time and were bearing tyranny and oppression of their ruler Kans. He had even overthrown his own father Ugrasena to gain access to the royal throne and became well-known for his vicious ambition that spared no one in the city, not even his loved ones.

Even though Kans was a very ruthless ruler, he loved his cousin sister Devaki very much and wanted to marry her off to a decent man. The day came when Devaki was getting married to King Vasudev of Yadu dynasty. After the ceremony, the great sage Narad came and told Kans that Devaki and Vasudev’s eighth child will be the reason of his death, in other words, he will kill Kans. Hearing this, Kans got worried and became angry which made him to try to kill his most beloved cousin. Vasudev pleaded him and promised him to surrender his every child to Kans as soon as they are born. Due to the fact that he was very fond of his sister and was also pleased with the agreement with Vasudev, Kans did not kill her yet he forced the newly wedded couple to be locked up in his palace prison until their eighth child was born. Devaki and Vasudev were imprisoned and were under constant watch by the royal guards of Kans. Every time a child was born, Kans would go to the cell personally and smash the head of the new born against the wall. Adamant Kans did not care about heartbreaking cries of Devaki and pleas from Vasudev and continued killing new born seven times until the eighth baby was born.

A miracle occurred during the night the eighth child was about to born. All of Kans’ royal guards magically went to sleep, the doors of the prison and the shackles of Devaki and Vasudev opened automatically. Soon Devaki gave birth to a baby boy, Krishna with dark complexion yet very beautiful. As Vasudev was amazed with his new born child, a voice from the sky (akashvani) ordered him to take his child to Gokul kingdom which was ruled by his own friend King Nand and exchange him with King Nand and Queen Yashoda’s daughter who was also born during the same time. He was also told that he needs to take the baby girl and return back to prison immediately before Kans knows about the birth of the child and kills him too. Vasudev was also reminded that this child has been born to conquer all evil and protect innocent people including the release of him and Devaki from Kans’ prison.

The Gokul kingdom was across Yamuna river through which Vasudev had to carry the new born. It was a rainy season and the river had rising tides. Vasudev found a basket in which he placed the baby and took him to the banks of great Yamuna river. When stepped into the river, Vasudev had more than half of his body sunk under the water. He tried his best to save baby from the rising water by holding him high on his head. Yet, he had no way to protect him from the rain. That’s when a huge five mouthed snake called Sheshnag followed him providing shade to the baby from rain. Vasudev finally reached his friend Nand’s house in Gokul where everyone was asleep. Vasudev quietly exchanged his son with Nand and Yashoda’s cute little daughter just like akashvani had advised.

Vasudev headed back to Mathura once again with the help of Sheshnag. He went back to the prison, shackles were back in place, doors closed and guards woke up. Upon seeing the baby, one of the guards rushed to Kans and gave him the news of the new born. Kans rushed to the cell as it was the eighth child. As he picked up the baby to kill her, she flew into the air. With a blinding flash of light, the baby took the form of a very strong goddess who taunted Kans that his destroyer has already been born and is now well and alive in a safe place. She also said no matter how hard he tries his destiny will not change. Along with the sound of laughter, the goddess disappeared leaving behind “dumbstruck” Kans. That goddess is now worshipped as many different names such as Durga, Tara, Ishani and Mandakini.

The birth of Lord Krishna is celebrated every year as Janmashtami. Due to the fact that Lord Krishna was born at mid night, every devotee goes to temple on the eighth day of sravan month every year and worship Lord Krishna and sing with great joy “Nand Ghera Nand Bhayo Jai Kanahaiya Lal Ki” which means at Nand’s house came the great Kanahaiya (another name of Lord Krishna). Lord Krishna is known to have two mothers, one is Devaki who gave him birth and another is Yashoda who raised him. Years later, Lord Krishna defeated Kans very courageously and got Devaki and Vasudev relief from the prison of Kans.

In addition to his bravery in defeating Kans and other evil spirits on earth, Lord Krishna is also known for his childhood mischief. One of his naughtiness is related to his favorite butter, yogurt and milk. He would break the pots and would steal butter, yogurt and milk very innocently which why he is also known as Maakhan Chor (Butter Robber). As a result, during the day time on Janmashtami, everyone in the neighborhood would get together in a huge crowd, they would hand a pot filled with butter, yogurt and milk, and few guys would create a pyramid and break the pot. It is not as easy as it sounds because the pot is usually hung really high up and it would take few times making and breaking of the pyramid before the pot can be actually broken. Janmashtami is a very religious and at the same time very joyous festival of India.

Happy Janmashtami to everyone!

Jai Shri Krishna!

“Brothers are like streetlights along the road, they don't make distance any shorter but they light up the path and make the walk worthwhile.” Know the importance of the relationship between brothers and sisters: http://ping.fm/ew748

Importance of Raksha Bandhan: Bond of Protection: http://ping.fm/bCT14

Raksha Bandhan: Bond of Protection

Relationships and the feeling of closeness is the soul of any festivities and what other country can better explain this than India? India is the best example of how relationships are maintained traditionally, and how every relationship is celebrated with a great joy. Every festival celebrated in India brings all the family members under one roof to rejoice the festival together. Raksha Bandhan is one of the festivals celebrated in India since about 6000 years ago when Aryans created first civilization. It is a festival celebrated for the strong bond between brother and sister. Raksha meaning protection and Bandhan means bond, putting together “Bond of Protection”. Raksha Bandhan falls on Shravan Purnima which usually comes in the month of August. On this day, sister ties a sacred thread called Rakhi on brother’s wrist at the same time praying for his happiness, well being and success and brother promises to protect his sister from every troubles and harm. It is not only observed by the blood related siblings, it is also celebrated by the brothers and sisters who may not be related to each other in anyways, yet would consider this relation between them.

There is some historical evidence of Raksha Bandhan being celebrated in India.

Rani Karnawati and Emperor Humanyun

The most significant evidence of Raksha Bandhan in Indian history goes back to the time of Rani Karnawati and Emperor Humayun. During the medieval era when Rajputs were fighting Muslim invasions, Rani Karnawati was a widowed queen of the King of Chittor who had no way to defend the invasion of Sultan of Gujarat, Bahadur Shah. She than sent a Rakhi which meant a “spiritual binding and protection of sisters” to Emperor Humayun. Emperor was touched by the gesture and started off with his troops to protect his sister without wasting any time.

Alexander The Great and King Puru

The oldest reference to the celebration of Raksha Bandhan goes back to 300 B.C. when Alexander invaded India. It is said that the great conqueror, King Alexander of Macedonia was shaken by the rage of the Indian King Puru in his first attempt. Looking at this, Alexander’s wife who had heard about the significance of the bond between brother and sister celebrated with the festival of Rakhi, approached King Puru. King accepted her as his sister and during the war when the opportunity came, he refrained from King Alexander.

Every festival in India has somehow a religious significance which is usually related to one of the Gods.

Lord Krishna and Draupathi

During the war with King Shishupal, Lord Krishna was hurt and left with bleeding finger. Seeing this, Draupathi torn a strip of cloth from her sari and tied around Krishna’s wrist to stop the bleeding. Realizing her affections and concern about him, Lord Krishna considered himself bounded by her sisterly love. He promised her to repay this debt whenever she needed in the future. Many years later, the time came when Draupathi was in the trouble and did needed her brother’s help. It was the time around Mahabharat, when Pandavas lost Draupathi in the game of dice and Kauravas were removing her saari, Lord Krishna than came and helped her divinely elongating the saari so that it becomes impossible for Kauravas to remove her saari.

King Bali and Goddess Lakshmi

The king of demon, Mahabali was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu and because of his great devotion, Lord Vishnu decided to protect Bali’s kingdom for which he left his home in Vikundam. Seeing this, Goddess Lakshmi, wife of Lord Vishnu was not happy as she was left at Vikundam without her husband. Goddess Lakshmi went to King Bali and talked to him as a Brahmin woman and took refuge in his place. On Shravan Purnima, she tied Rakhi on King Bali’s wrist and that’s when she revealed herself and her reason for being there. The King was touched by her and Lord Vishnu’s good will and affection towards him and his family. King Bali requested Lord Vishnu to accompany Goddess Lakshmi back to Vaikundam. This is why the festival is also known as Baleva as Bali Raja’s devotion to Lord Vishnu. It is also said that since that day, it has become a tradition to invite sisters on Sravan Purnima to tie the sacred thread called Rakhi to her brothers.

Border Security Force and Girls of India


Due to the fact that the meaning of Raksha Bandhan is “Bond of Protection,” who else would be the greater protector than our Border Security Force who guards our border 24/7 so that we can sleep peacefully. Girls and women from the surrounding area goes to the border of the country on the day of Raksha Bandhan and ties the sacred thread on every soldiers of India praying for their good will and success and as we know our fearless and brave Indian soldiers have always been protecting us from our enemies.

Raksha Bandhan is one of many traditional festivals celebrated by India. I personally believe among all the relationships, the one that a brother and a sister shares are very different and cannot be compared to any other, due to the fact that a brother and sister in any family are the one from the same generation, who can understand each other’s feelings the most. A brother can always count on his sister and vice versa. When you need your sibling they are always there, no matter if it’s to laugh, to cry or just to be there.

I would like to thank God for giving me a naughty, funny yet the most understanding and mature brother, who I always seek for any advice and who ask me for any guidance.

Happy Raksha Bandhan!

Mera Hindustan!

जहाँ हर चीज है प्यारी,
सभी चाहत के पुजारी,
प्यारी जिसकी ज़बां,
वही है मेरा हिन्दुस्तां.
जहाँ ग़ालिब की ग़ज़ल है,
वो प्यारा ताज महल है,
प्यार का एक निशां,
वही है मेरा हिन्दुस्तां.

जहाँ फूलों का बिस्तर है,
जहाँ अम्बर की चादर है,
नजर तक फैला सागर है,
सुहाना हर इक मंजर है,
वो झरने और हवाएँ,
सभी मिल जुल कर गायें,
प्यार का गीत जहां,
वही है मेरा हिन्दुस्तां.

जहां सूरज की थाली है,
जहां चंदा की प्याली है,
फिजा भी क्या दिलवाली है,
कभी होली तो दिवाली है,
वो बिंदिया चुनरी पायल,
वो साडी मेहंदी काजल,
रंगीला है समां,
वही है मेरा हिन्दुस्तां.

कही पे नदियाँ बलखाएं,
कहीं पे पंछी इतरायें,
बसंती झूले लहराएं,
जहां अन्गिन्त हैं भाषाएं,
सुबह जैसे ही चमकी,
बजी मंदिर में घंटी,
और मस्जिद में अजां,
वही है मेरा हिन्दुस्तां.

कहीं गलियों में भंगड़ा है,
कही ठेले में रगडा है,
हजारों किस्में आमों की,
ये चौसा तो वो लंगडा है,
लो फिर स्वतंत्र दिवस आया,
तिरंगा सबने लहराया,
लेकर फिरे यहाँ-वहां,
वहीँ है मेरा हिन्दुस्तां.

Struggle for the Freedom: Is India really an Independent Country?

India did wake up to life and freedom on 15th August, 1947. Today as we walk freely and without any restrictions on the streets of India, we tend to forget that our every breath of freedom is due to those freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives to free our mother land; who sacrificed their happiness that they could have got by living with their families instead of fighting with British away from home, so that the next generation (includes us) can live the life with liberty and sovereignty. We definitely have forgotten the main reason for their sacrifice (mentioned in the last two paragraphs of this blog). We are very familiar with many famous Indian Freedom Fighters such as Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, Chandra Shekhar Azad and many more. Along with these fighters, there were many other strugglers whose name has been vanished and probably are not even remembered as much as these famous fighters.

Remembering Our Brave Freedom Fighters

India’s initial fight for Independence started in 1857. Mangal Pandey born on 19th July, 1827 in Nagwa village of Ballia district in Uttar Pradesh was the very first Indian freedom fighter who rose against British. He was a sepoy in the 34th regiment of the Bengal Native Infantry that belonged to the British East India Company. When they were stationed at Barrackpore near Kolkata, Mangal Pandey attacked British Officers and tried to kill them due to the fact that the cartridges they were supposed to use in their rifles were greased with animal fat and the sepoys were supposed to bite them before they fired. This was against the religious beliefs of the Hindus and Muslims sepoys. Many of his followers joined him in this uprising against British. Mangal Pandey was arrested and was found guilty. He and his fellow Jemadar were sentenced to death by hanging on 8th April, 1857.
Even though, the journey of our first hero, Mangal Pandey had ended, the rebellion continued by many other freedom fighters.

“Bundele harbolon ke munh hamane suni kahaani thi,Khoob ladi mardaani woh to Jhansi waali raani thi.” -Subhadra Kumari Chauhan

Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai born in 1828 was called Manu during the childhood. She lost her mother at the age of 4, her father encouraged her with martial training including horse riding, fencing and shooting. She than got married to Raja Gangadhar Rao and became a Queen of Jhansi when she was given the new name Rani Lakshmibai. Rani gave a birth to a son who unfortunately died within 4 months and few months later, Gangadhar became ill and urged to adopt a son only one day before his death. Rani than adopted a son named Damodhar Rao witnessed by the local British representatives. Upon the death of Raja, British-Indian authorities refused to recognize the adopted child as a next prince. They confiscated the state jewels and deducted Raja’s debts from Rani’s annual pension. She was than required to leave Jhansi fort, but Rani did not leave and followed her duty in protecting the state of Jhansi. In 1858, British attacked the Jhansi Fort and after weeks of conflict, they succeeded in seizing Jhansi. However Rani managed to escape along with her son and took refuge in Kalpi with the small group of her faithful soldiers. Three months later, with the help of Nawab of Banda and others, Rani lead a successful attack on the British fortress at Gwalior which was under the control of General Hugh Rose. Rani was determined to secure Jhansi from British annexation throughout her life. Her decision of not giving up went to the extent of establishing links with various revolutionaries including Tatya Tope. It is said that during her meeting with Tatya Tope she had mentioned her vision and foresight for India’s freedom. During the war of Gwalior, thousands of soldiers were killed. On the last day at the battlefield, Rani rode on her horse as the rebellious leader, dressed as a man with her sword. She was in the middle of the battle when a British Army soldier threw his sword at her, killing the braves Jhansi Ki Rani on 18th June, 1858.

This was just a beginning of the war against British to free India.

Dadabhai Naoroji born on 4th Sept., 1825 to a poor Parsi family in Bombay did not get into the battlefield yet struggled in various different ways to get Indians their true rights. Dadabhai entered the political battle in 1852. In 1853 East India Company had applied for a renewal of their lease which Dadabhai strongly opposed and sent petitions to the British government, but the government denied his plea and renewed the lease. Dadabhai felt the British misrule was due to the ignorance of Indian people. He started Gyan Prasarak Mandali (Society for Promotion of Knowledge) for the education of adults. Dadabhai wrote several petitions to Governors and Viceroys in regards to the problems in India. Eventually he felt the Britishers should be made aware of troubles in India. In 1855 he went to England where he joined many learned societies where he conveyed many speeches and wrote several articles on the plight of India. On 1st. December 1866, Dadabhai founded the East Indian Association which included high-ranking officers from India and also people who had access to Members of the British Parliament. Dadabhai Naoroji died at the age of 92 on 30th June 1917. Before his death, several of his requests were approved by the government. In 1892 he was elected to the British Parliament from Central Finsbury as the Liberal party candidate. Dadabhai got a resolution passed in the British Parliament for holding preliminary examinations for the I.C.S. in India and England. He also got the Wiley Commission, the royal commission on India expenditure, to acknowledge the need for even distribution of administrative and military expenditure between India and England. In 1885 Dadabhai was founder of the Indian National Congress along with A.O. Hume. He was elected three times for the post of the President of the Indian National Congress. It was during his presidential address in 1906 when the demand of Swaraj (Self-rule) was publicly expressed by him which was finally achieved on 15th August 1947 through many more struggles by our freedom fighters that came into action after the death of Dadabhai Naoroji.

“Political guru of Mahatma Gandhi; one of the pioneers of the Indian national movement; founder of the Servants of India Society,” Gopal Krishna Gokhale was born on 9th May 1866 in Kothapur, Maharashtra. He was the first generation of Indian to receive college education. Gokhale was respected widely in the nascent Indian intellectual community and across India. He came into publice in 1866 when he started delivering speeches on “India under the British Rule”, which was much appreciated. He regularly contributed his articles to Bal Gangadhal Tilak’s weekly “Mahratta” through which he tried to awaken the hidden patriotism of Indian people. In 1902 Gokhale became a member of the Imperial Legislative Council in Delhi where he spoke for the people of India. Due to the fact that he had an excellent grasp of the economic problems of our country because of which he was able to present during the debates. In 1905, Gokhale started a new society called "Servants of India Society". This society trained workers for the service of the country. In the same year, Gokhale went to England to convey his concerns relating to the unfair treatment of the Indian people by the British government. Gokhale pleaded for gradual reforms to ultimately attain Swaraj, or self-government, in India. He was involved in introducing the Morley- Minto Reforms of 1909, which eventually became law. Though the reforms sowed the seeds of communal division in India, yet, they gave Indian access to the seats of the highest authority within the government, and their voices were more audible in matters of public interest. Gopal Krishna Gokhale fought for the rights of every Indian where he did find success and eventually he died on 19th Feb. 1915.

The first Indian woman to become the President of the Indian National Congress and the first woman to become the governor of a state in India, Sarojini Naidu was born on 13th Feb. 1879. She was a brilliant student and proficient in Urdu, Telugu, English, Bengali, and Persian. Sarojini Naidu joined the Indian National Movement during the wake of partition of Bengal in 1905 where she met Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Rabindranath Tagore, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Annie Besant, C.P. Rama, Swami Iyer, Gandhiji and Jawaharlal Nehru. She awakened women of India, traveled from city to city and asked for the rights of the women. Sarojini Naidu re-established self-esteem within the women of India. In 1925 Sarojini Naidu headed the annual session of Indian National Congress at Kanpur and played a leading role during the Civil Disobedience Movement, which is when she was jailed along with Gandhiji and other leaders. In 1942, she was arrested during the “Quit India” movement and was jailed for 21 months with Gandhiji. After Independence, Sarojini Naidu became the Governor of Uttar Pradesh. She was the first woman Governor. Sarojini Naidu died on 2nd March 1949 in her office.

An Immortal revolutionary and one of the greatest martyrs, Ashfaqulla Khan was born on 22nd Oct. 1900 in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Ashfaq joined revolutionary activities in 1922, when Mahatma Gandhi called off the non-cooperation movement after the violence incident of Chauri Chaura when a police station was set on fire and some policemen had died. Youngsters including Asfaq were very disappointed and they decided that the country should become free as early as possible. Ashfaq who was a muslim became a very good friend with Ramprasad Bismil who was also from Shahjahanpur and was hindu, yet the religion did not come in the way during their freedom struggle. Sachindra Nath Sanyal founded the organization “Hindustan Republican Association” whose objective was to win the freedom for India through armed revolution (violation). Ashfaq and Ramprasad were part of this association. In 1925, the association issued a policy called Krantikari which eliminated the inequality and slavery. Carrying out the revolution requires a lot of money, which is why the famous Kakori train robbery was conceived. The idea of robbery was of Ramaprasad which Ashafaq opposed saying it would be a hasty step, yet joined the idea of the robbery along with Sachindra Bakshi and Rajendra Lahiri. On 9th Aug. 1925 the robbery took place when the train from Shahjahanput to Lucknow was approaching Kakori. The group of ten young revolutionaries took the money and fled. For about one month none of the revolutionaries were arrested until 26th Sept. 1925 Ramaprasad Bismil was arrested while Ashfaq was able to escape. Finally in Delhi, Asfaq was caught by the police and was charge sheeted in the court. A committee which consisted of reputed lawyers like Moti Lal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sriprakasha, Acharya Narendra Dev, Govind Ballabh Pant and Chandra Bhanu Gupta was formed to defend the revolutionaries in the Kakori train robbery case. Their effort in defending the revolutionaries failed in the court of justice under British rule. As a result, Ramaprasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, Rajendra Lahiri and Roshan Singh were sentenced to death and rests of them were given life sentences. Whole country protested against the death sentences and petitions were made to the viceroy, yet there was no difference. On 19th Dec. 1927, Ashfaqulla Khan was hanged to death at district jail, Faizabad. “Ashfaq’s devotion to the cause of freedom made him the foremost among those who gave their lives to win the freedom of the country. Love for the motherland, clear thinking, courage, firmness and loyalty were embodied in Ashfaq to the hilt. He deserves to be remembered and cherished by all Indians for his noble qualities.”

A distinguished scholar, great poet, true freedom fighter and independent India’s first Education Minister, Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad was born on 11th Nov. 1888 in Mecca. His father Maulana Khaiiruddin had left India during Sepoy Mutiny and settled in Mecca. In 1890, he along with his family returned to India and settled down in Calcutta. Maulana Azad visited many places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Syria and Turkey where he met many banished revolutionaries, patriotic leaders, freedom fighters and other political members who inspired Azad with their revolutionary activities. After returning back to India, he joined revolutionary movement which was under Aurbindo Ghosh and Sri Shyam Sunder Chakravarthy. Mualana Azad also opened secret revolutionary centers all over North India and in Bombay (now known as Mumbai). He convinced Muslim revolutionaries to fight for India’s freedom rather than fighting for anti-Muslim causes. In 1912 Mualana Azad started a weekly journal creating awareness of Indian nationalism and revolutionary ideas which were based on Hindu-Muslim unity. In 1916 the weekly journal proved to be a threat to British Empire and so he was expelled from Calcutta and was released after the First World War in 1920. After he was released, he actively participated in Khilafat Movement, Non-Cooperation Movement and Salt Satyagraha. He was imprisoned several times but this could not stop his struggle for freedom. In 1947 after India gained its independence Maulana Azad was appointed as the Minister of Education in the cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru. He served country until he died of a stroke on 22nd Feb. 1958.

Freedom… But is this a real Freedom!

After more than two hundred years of British rule, on 15th August 1947 India finally gained its Independence. It was a celebration time for all the patriotic hearts and was a victory of hundreds and thousands of martyred souls. On the other side, there was a disaster happening due to the partition of India and Pakistan which the last British Governor General, Viscount Lord Mountbatten of Burma announced on 3rd June 1947 under the provisions of the Indian Independence Act 1947. After the declaration of Independence, people started moving closer to their families and relatives, from India to Pakistan and from Pakistan to India. The train that would go to Pakistan filled with people would come back with the same people killed with hatred which was clearly shown from their dead faces and the train bringing people to India would return back to Pakistan with same people with a bloody and scary death. Since then there has been the biggest enmity between India and Pakistan which was once One United Country. It is very sad that hundreds and thousands of freedom fighters who dreamt for a free unified country and truly dedicate themselves to gain this freedom has been shattered. We did gain our freedom, yet got divided into two different nations filled with hatred for each other.

Today when Indians display their hatred towards Pakistan, have they ever stopped for one second and gave a thought to all our freedom fighters who struggled for “Unified” nation... Today when Pakistanis show their hatred towards India, can they just think for one second about all the freedom fighters who struggled for their entire life so that the future of the “Unified” nation would be bright and successful...

It is really funny how we say India and Pakistan are now Independent countries, but can anyone tell me how are we independent? Our freedom fighters fought for one soil, one country, not for India and Pakistan (two different countries). They became two different countries by the Britishers who could not bear the unity and love that is in every hearts of the country people. Today India and Pakistan hate each other, kill each other, create wars and this is actually walking on the path that Britishers created for us,...How are we independent if we are still doing what Britishers started and wanted us to do? Is this what our freedom fighters struggled for? Is this a True Independence?



Thank you,
