Biggest Massacre in the Indian History: Jallianwala Bagh

Jallianwala Bagh noted for its most notorious massacre under British rule. It is 400meters north of the Golden Temple. The British General Dyer was the Lieutenant Governor of the province in 1919. He banned all meetings and demonstrations led by Indians against the economical set back by World War I. On 13 April 1919, pilgrims poured into Amritsar to celebrate the Baisakhi festival, one of most auspicious festival of Sikh. In the afternoon thousands of people gathered at JallianWala Bagh to celebrate the festival. This ground is surrounded by high walls on all sides has only a narrow alley for access. General Dyer personally led the troops to the sight and ordered 50 soldiers to fire into the gathering, and for 10 to 15 minutes 1,650 rounds of ammunition were unloaded into the screaming, terrified crowd, some of whom were trampled by those desperately trying to escape. It resulted in the death of about 2000 people including women and children.

Even though the crowd was totally unarmed, General Dyer claimed that he was attacked by a revolutionary army. He made it clear that he had gone to the place with the with a plan of opening fire upon this helpless crowd.He even said that he would have used the machine-guns on this helpless crowd, but could not do so because he could not move them to position via the narrow passage that led to the place of gathering.

It was clear that he had trespassed all norms of humanity, was also asked to resign from his position in India, yet he was greatly honored when he reached Britain. A very large sum of money and much honor was also given to him. This only made the Indians more committed to their cause to get freedom from Britain. Finally on 15th August 1947 India became a nation free from the rule of Britian.

I Salute to each and every Martyr of this Massacre!

Bit jaaye chahe kitne mausam, Bite chahe kitne naye zamaane; Yeh dil naa bhula hai naa bhulega un shaheedon ko jinho ne dekar apne pran, pehnaya humare desh ko Azaadi ka sehra!



Jai Hind!

History & Origin of Ram Navami

According to the great epic Ramayana, once upon a time there lived a King named Dasarath, then king of Ayodhya, who had three wives named Kaushalya, Sumithra and Kaikeyi. As even long after his marriages, Dasarath was not blessed with a child, this has become a question of worry for him. Even the people of Ayodhya were disheartened because they had not heir to their kingdom. At this stage, Rishi Vasistha suggests Dasarath to perform Puthra Kamesti Yagna, through which he can have a desired child.

Soon King Dasharath agreed to do the Yagya and headed to Maharshi Rushya Shrunga's ashram, to get him for performing the yagya. Maharshi agreed and accompanied Dasharath to Ayodhya to solemnize the perform Puthra Kamesti Yagna. As the result of yagna, Yagneshwar appeared and hands Dasarath a bowl of kheer and asked him to feed this to his three wives. Dasarath did the same. He gave one half of the kheer to his elder wife Kausalya, and another half to his younger wife Kaikeyi. These two gave one half each of their kheer to Sumithra.

After few days all the three Queens conceived Dasratha's child. On the ninth day (Navami) of Chaithra Masa (first month in Hindu calendar), at noon Kaushlya gave birth to Lord Sri Ram, Kaikeyi gave birth to Bharat, and Sumithra gave birth to twins, Lakshman and Shatrughan. It was the day of joyous celebrations in Ayodhya. This day since then is celebrated as an auspicious occasion by the devotees.
Ram Navami is one of the most ancient festivals celebrated in India. It is said that the date of Ram Navami can be traced back to the pre-christian era, as Hinduism is the oldest religion of the world. The reference of Ramnavami can also be found in the Kalika puran. It is said in the earlier times, when caste system was prevalent in India; Ramnavami was one of the few festivals that the lower castes (shudras) were allowed to celebrate. In Hindu religion, it is considered to one of the five major sacred festivals and it is said that, properly observing this fast leads to the attainment of salvation.

May Lord Ram Bless You All With Lots of Happiness & Good Luck!

Jai Shri Ram!
