Hakikat Rai was a brave Sanatani Kid who sacrificed his life for Dharma almost 300 years ago.

Haqiqat Rai was born in the year 1719 to a religious woman, Kora Devi, in a very rich Vedic Hindu family, in Sialkot, Punjab, (now in Pakistan).
He was proud of his Hindu culture since early age, he belonged to a Hindu Khatri family of Puri clan. These are same Hindu Khatris who were first to help Guru Nanak Sahib when he formed Sikhism. Like other Hindus, Khatris also donated their elder child to Guru Sahib to...
...form a warrior panth, a group specially created to protect against atrocities of islamic terrorism happening under mughal invaders.
Since childhood, Haqiqat Rai was a keen observer and a quick learner. He took care of his health and was well built for a kid of his age.
He was the grandson of Bhai Nand Ram Ji, a devotee of Hinglajakhya Khatri Kulsupujita. His Guru was Har Rai Acharya Ji. This was time when Hindu-Sikh were close relatives. Some of the Hindu family members were Sikhs and vice versa.
Hindu Khatris have history of staying united for the cause of Dharma and Motherland. During initial phase of their struggle against islamic invaders, they self-proclaimed themselves as Hindu Kshatriyas.Valour was in the DNA of Haqiqat Rai.
His maternal great grandfather was brave Kanhaiya Ji. His maternal uncle (mother’s brother) was Arjan Ji. His father’s name was Bhagmal Rai Puri, a wealthy Hindu trader.Due to mughal invasion and shameless open acceptance of Hindus to foreign traditions and language,...
...even if it is uncivilized or less developed than Vedic culture, made Persian a regular language in the state. When Haqiqat Rai crossed age 12, He was sent to a Maulana to learn Persian, a common dialect of the time to communicate with others.
Muslim kids filled with immense hatred towards Hinduism started ill-treating Haqiqat Rai.He was regularly called with different names,he was ridiculed for being a Kafir (Non-muslim/Hindu).They would pickup fight with him, several times he got bruised but didn't inform his mother.
Zakariya Khan was son of Abdus Samad Khan, the Faujdar of Sarhind, who tortured Banda Singh Bahadur to painful death in 1716.

Haqiqat Rai was sent to Lahore for punishment. Quasi Abdul Haq, Muslim cleric referred Quran and made announcement.
Hindu Parents of Haqiqat Rai intervened not to punish the child, they were ready to face punishment if it was so important to enforce blasphemy rules of Sharia law. They pleaded to pardon the innocent child, he was just 13 years 4 months old.
Bhagmal Rai Puri even offered acres of land in exchange for mercy, he made an emotional appeal to the cleric how can a kid be punished, does Allah not love kids, do not kill my child?
But heartless muslims, ignored their humble pleas.
Haqiqat Rai was hanged upside down, punishment executed, 100 lashes ripped his whole body, tearing flesh, his entire body bruised with bloodied wounds. After flogging, he was sent to jail.His capital punishment was pending.
With no one in administration to oppose the punishment, Death was imminent for Haqiqat.He was presented again in front of Muslim Cleric, Quasi Abdul Haq.Parents of Haqiqat Rai were adamant to release their child but they were to meet two conditions for revoking his death penalty.
Maulana asked the parent's to donate few acres of their land to the Madarsa and their son must convert to Islam. This came as a surprise to the parents as they were ready to give whole of their land but the thought of converting their son to Islam was not an option for them.
Parents declined and said, “We are proud Hindus,we value our Dharma more than our wealth & life.However our child is free to take decision,we will never allow him to become a muslim till we are alive.”
Mleccha crowd was laughing, yelling Allah’s name,after the condition was read.
They thought that this time again a Kafir would submit to Allah but they were taken aback seeing defiant response of Hindu parents.
Muslim cleric went to Haqiqat Rai and offered him, “Convert to islam and live your life or else you will be punished.
You will be beheaded, it will be a painful death. Getting beheaded is not a pleasing experience.”
Muslim cleric laughed. Mother of Haqiqat Rai wiped her tears. His father was looking in to the eyes of Haqiqat Rai. They were ready to sacrifice their son for Hindu Dharma.
They did not plead for his life again. They waited for the response of their brave son.
Haqiqat said,“I am most fortunate of all here, I took birth in Sanatan Hindu Dharma. Only fortunate beings get golden chance to stay alive and die for Dharma.”
Looking up to the Bhagwan he added,“He gave me strength to survive the ordeal and punishment.He gave me this opportunity to die for Dharma. Tell me now,among all of you, who is most fortunate. By birth I m a Hindu,even fear of death cannot deter me from my path of Sanatan Dharma.
I want to die as a Hindu. I am proud of whatever I have said. I am not a coward sheep to accept insult towards my deities".
Enraged muslim cleric kicked on the stomach of Haqiqat Rai.Muslim crowd again thrashed Haqiqat Rai, this time he was laughing as if he had overpowered pain.
Later executioner was called, he sliced the throat of Haqiqat Rai slowly, tearing veins and severing his head. Not even for a single moment there was fear in the eyes of a brave Hindu child. He was executed, head of the child was rolled in front of his parents.
His proud parents were not crying, feelings of pride surpassed petty emotions of sorrow.
Later some local Hindus killed Quasi Abdul Haq for giving death Fatwa to Haqiqat Rai, the brave child had become a defiant and inspirational figure for the native people around.
His bold resistance evoked several retaliations across places. For the first time in recent history, a child had become father figure for the local Hindus.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh himself revered Haqiqat Rai as a young Hindu martyr.
Inspired with Powada of Maratha Kings, in 1782, a poet named Aggar Singh wrote a Punjabi Var titled Haqiqat Rai di Var to pay tribute to his bravery.

There is a small temple in Lahore, Pakistan, dedicated to Veer Hindu Haqiqat Rai.
Basant Panchami was celebrated in the temple by local Hindus until mid-2004. In 2004, Nawa-i-Waqt, a Pakistani daily opposed Basant Panchami celebrations in Pakistan, arguing that the festival celebrated at Haqiqat Rai’s temple is insult to Mohammed.
Hakikat Rai had blatantly insulted Islam so celebrations must be immediately stopped. Speaking truth is insult to islam but when the mlecchas denigrate Hindu rituals, slaughter cows to showcase shallow supremacy & hatred towards Hinduism then it is upholding of morality for them.
Some stupid namesake Hindus (Wokes) mock government for reverting city names to old Vedic roots, they mock government for making Ram Mandir instead of Hospital, they mock government for reclaiming our temples,...
... it is this submissive behaviour of these woke Hindus that even today we are still slave of Chrislamized education system. If Hindus at that time had retaliated and reverted to Vedic roots, several Haqiqat Rais would have been saved.
He ignored the bullying muslim kids and focused on developing his skill in colonial language, Persian.
Haqiqat Rai’s patience was not deemed as tolerance but coward act by Muslim kids, they were never used to sober behaviour.
On that particular day,after completion of Friday prayer, his Muslim classmates started making fun of Hindu deities.This enraged him,he gulped his anger several times before,when they insulted him,foul mouthed his culture but denigrating Bhagwan and his deities crossed the limit.
When muslim kids insulted Hindu deities, he punched three of them in the face.
Shocked by this retaliatory response, dozens of muslim kids pounced and thrashed him, his eyes swollen and mouth bleeding. Fearing that they could be at the receiving end, muslim kids went to Maulana..
...and made a series of allegations against Haqiqat Rai. Haqiqat Rai was just 13 years old and no elder was at his side in madrasa when he had to make his stand clear.
Muslim kids lied to Maulana that Haqiqat Rai insults islam, he mocks mohammed and quarrels  with us.
Today he insulted Allah. Muslim cleric was furious, he slapped bleeding Haqiqat Rai, innocent pleas of Haqiqat Rai to hear his side of story was ignored. It was decided by him that he would be produced in front of Faujdar Zakariya Khan to be punished under Sharia Law.

🌺 नन्दी जन्म कथा 🌺

पुराणों में यह कथा मिलती है कि शिलाद मुनि के ब्रह्मचारी हो जाने के कारण वंश समाप्त होता देख उनके पितरोंने अपनी चिंता उनसे व्यक्त की। शिलाद निरंतर योग तप आदि में व्यस्त रहने के कारण गृहस्थाश्रम नहीं अपनाना चाहते थे ।
अतःउन्होंने संतान की कामना से इंद्र देव को तप से प्रसन्न कर जन्म और मृत्यु से हीन पुत्र का वरदान मांगा।इंद्र ने इसमें असर्मथता प्रकट की तथा भगवान शिव को प्रसन्न करने के लिए कहा। तब शिलाद ने कठोर तपस्या कर शिवजी को प्रसन्न किया और उनके ही समान मृत्युहीन तथा दिव्य पुत्र की मांग की।
महादेव ने स्वयं शिलाद के पुत्ररूप में प्रकट होने का वरदान दिया।कुछ समय बाद भूमि जोतते हुए शिलाद को एक बालक मिला।शिलाद ने उसका नाम नंदी रखा।उसको बड़ा होते देख भगवान शिव ने मित्र व वरुण नाम के दो मुनि शिलाद के आश्रम में भेजे जिन्होंने नंदी को देखकर भविष्यवाणी की कि नंदी अल्पायु है।

🌺Varun is Hindu sea God.🌺
His vehicle is crocodile found in most of Africa south of Sahara, Madagascar,India,Sri Lanka, South East Asia over which the ancient Indians particularly from East and West Coastal regions dominated before the advent of Arabs and Europeans.
His weapon is Pasha ( rope loop) used to make wooden boats and ships , sails and anchors when the use of iron was not prevalent.

The terms like naav, kattumaran, navik, modern day navy and navigation, nakshatra , Navagraha and Nataraj with 360 degree axes, and...
...Matsya Yantra ( primitive magnetic compass in oil filled vessel) speak volumes about ancient Indians’ skills and adventurism. Bhavishya Puran inclusive of Satya Narayan katha are full of stories of extraordinary travellers going from rags to riches and vice versa.

Do you know?

The constitution of India is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world and it was written by a man named Prem Behari Narain Raizada in his own handwriting.
The constitution has always been associated with Dr Ambedkar,chairman of the drafting committee,who was its architect,but very little is known about the man who penned it down.

The first draft of Indian Constitution was completed on 26th Nov 1949 is no less than a masterpiece.
While Nandalal Bose and his students designed the borders of every page and adorned it with beautiful art pieces, it was the singlehanded effort of Prem Behari Narain Raizada (Saxena) that brought the primary contents and the preamble to the Constitution, to life.

Formless has a form.
🌺
ब्रह्मा उवाच :
🌺
रूपं यदेतदवबोधरसोदयेन शश्वन्निवृत्ततमस: सदनुग्रहाय ।
आदौ गृहीतमवतारशतैकबीजं यन्नाभिपद्मभवनादहमाविरासम्
🌺
नात: परं परम यद्भवत: स्वरूपमानन्दमात्रमविकल्पमविद्धवर्च: ।
पश्यामि विश्वसृजमेकमविश्वमात्मन् भूतेन्द्रियात्मकमदस्त उपाश्रितोऽस्मि ॥
( Shrimad Bhagwat Maha Puran 3.9.2, 3 )

Brahma Says :

The form which I see is eternally freed from material contamination and has advented to show mercy to the devotees as a manifestation of internal potency.
This incarnation is the origin of many other incarnations, and I am born from the Lotus flower grown from your navel home.

O Prabhu Vishnu,I do not see a form superior to your present form of eternal bliss and knowledge. In your impersonal Brahm effulgence in the spiritual sky..
