The #AryaSamaj was founded on 10 April 1875 at Bombay (#Mumbai) by Swami #DayanandSaraswati. This monotheistic order laid stress on the values laid down in the #Vedas & was against idol worship.
As a counter to the proselytizing Abrahamic faiths like Christianity and Islam, the #AryaSamaj launched a reconversion campaign called #shuddhi. As the #HinduMahasabha grew in the 1920s, many #AryaSamaj leaders joined it. Shuddhi became one of the Mahasabha's driving forces

#Flashback

The aftermath of the 1921 Moplah Terror had come to Doctorji as a shock.

Indian Muslims had proved themselves Muslims first and Indians only secondarily so that when the Khilafat was given up in Turkey, they withdrew from the allied movement for
national independence.
The whole atmosphere was charged with Muslim fanaticism. ‘Allah ho akbar’ and not ‘Bharat mata ki jai’ was heard everywhere. Soon there were Muslim riots in Bannu, Kohat, Multan, Nagpur, Kanpur and elsewhere.

‘These are not Hindu-Muslim riots,’
he would say. ‘These are Muslim riots because in every single case it is they who start them and go on the offensive.’
These riots culminated in the Moplah atrocity, completed with arson, loot, murder, rape and forced conversion. The nation was dazed. And Doctorji wondered:

Circa 2012 this is.
While i absolutely love my corporate work, i totally miss class & dancing.
The best thing i ever did was moving to Shri Shijith Nambiar (Anna) and Smt Parvathy Menon (Akka), alumni of Kalakshetra for advance learning .
They gave me an opportunity to savour that Baani , something that ive always admired and watched since childhood, due to family association.
Today when i look back, the period of training under them was a major factor in shaping my attitude towards a lot of things in life.
From time management, to deep concentration, whatever i practiced then with caution, has become instrinc to me now.
Must say, i was a troublesome student , a late teen - early 20s girl, used to get nicely scolded by both of them !

జమ్మిచెట్టుకి🌿 ఎందుకంత ప్రాధాన్యత

దసరా సంబరాలు చివరిరోజుకి చేరుకోగానే అందరికీ గుర్తుకువచ్చేది జమ్మిచెట్టు. దసరా సాయంత్రం వేళ జమ్మికొట్టి, ఆ చెట్టు ఆకులను బంగారంగా భావిస్తూ పెద్దల చేతిలో పెట్టి ఆశీస్సులు తీసుకుంటారు
#జమ్మిచెట్టు 🌿
#Jammi #Dussehra
#HappyDussehra #VijayaDashami
బంగారంగా భావిస్తూ పెద్దల చేతిలో పెట్టి ఆశీస్సులు తీసుకుంటారు. చెట్లని దైవంగా పూజించి కొలుచుకోవడం హైందవ సంస్కృతిలో తరచూ కనిపించేదే! కానీ ఈ దసరా రోజుకీ జమ్మి చెట్టుకీ మధ్య అనుబంధం ఏమిటి అన్న ప్రశ్నకు చాలా సమాధానాలే కనిపిస్తాయి.
కాస్త జమ్మి గురించి...
జమ్మి భారతీయులకు కొత్తేమీ కాదు. ఇంకా చెప్పాలంటే భారత ఉపఖండంలోనే ఈ వృక్షం ఉద్భవించిందన్నది శాస్త్రవేత్తల అభిప్రాయం. అందుకనే రుగ్వేదకాలం నుంచే జమ్మి ప్రస్తావన కనిపిస్తుంది. అప్పట్లో ఈ చెట్టుని అగ్నిని పుట్టించే సాధనంగా వాడేవారు.

#नागपुर में आयोजित @RSSorg के #VijayaDashami उत्सव में परम पूजनीय सरसंघचालक श्री मोहन भागवत जी ने कहा कि 2014 लोकसभा चुनाव के बाद 2019 के चुनाव में भी सरकार को बड़ी संख्या से चुनकर लाना सरकार के प्रति लोगों के विश्वास को दर्शाता है।
#Dussehra2019 @PMOIndia @BJP4India
परम पूजनीय @DrMohanBhagwat जी ने कहा कि #Article370 को अप्रभावी बनाकर यह सिद्व हो गया कि जनभावना को ध्यान में रखकर साहसिक और कठोर निर्णय लेने की ताकत इस सरकार में है। सभी दलों को साथ लेकर 370 को खत्म करने के लिए PM श्री @narendramodi जी और गृहमंत्री श्री @AmitShah जी का अभिनंदन।
परम पूजनीय @DrMohanBhagwat जी ने कहा कि आज देश में उत्साह,आत्मविश्वास व आश्वस्ती का माहौल है।परंतु समय आश्वस्त होकर असावधान व निष्क्रिय होकर 'मैं व मेरे परिवार की मर्यादा' के अंदर रहने का नहीं है।राष्ट्र के परमवैभव को पाकर भारत को विश्व का सिरमौर बनाने के लिए अभी लंबा चलना पड़ेगा
