अपने लेडी लक को चीयर करने पहुंचे नारायण मूर्ति और ऋषि सुनक

जयपुर लिटरेचर फेस्टिवल के तीसरे दिन सुधा मूर्ति और उनकी बेटी अक्षता मूर्ति का सेशन "माई मदर, माई सेल्फ" बहुत अलग मायनों में खास रहा। इस सेशन में अक्षता ने अपनी मां से उनकी पेरेंटिंग से संबंधित बहुत से सवाल पूछे। भई, यह अपनी तरह का एक खूबसूरत सा इत्तेफाक था कि मां और बेटी दोनों मंच पर एक साथ थीं। ऐसे में इस मौके को देखते हुए अक्षता ने अपनी कुछ शिकायतें भी मां से कीं। उन्होंने कहा कि "जब आप मुझे बचपन में पार्टी नहीं करने देती थीं, तो मुझे बहुत बुरा लगता था।" अक्षता ने अपनी कुछ ऐसी शिकायतों की पोटली खोली, तो मुस्कुराकर सुधा ने उन्हें ऐसा नहीं करने की वजह भी बताई।

जैम पैक्ड सेशन

जयपुर लिटरेचर फेस्टिवल का यह सेशन कई मायनों में खास था। इस सेशन को अटेंड करने और दोनों मां-बेटी को चीयर करने के लिए इंफोसिस के सह-संस्थापक नारायण मूर्ति और ब्रिटेन के पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री ऋषि सुनक भी मौजूद रहे। सेशन शुरू होने से पहले सुनक दोनों को "ऑल द बेस्ट" कहते नजर आए। सुनक को देखने के लिए लोगों की भीड़ उमड़ पड़ी थी। ऐसे में उन्होंने नमस्ते कर अभिवादन किया। आपको बता दें कि सुनक और अक्षता दोनों ही जेएलए��� लंदन के सपोर्टर हैं। अपनी पत्नी को मोटिवेट करने के लिए सुनक शुक्रवार की रात को ही जयपुर आए थे।

यह परवरिश है

खैर, बात करें अक्षता के सेशन की तो उन्होंने अपनी बात की शुरुआत गीता के श्लोक "कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन" के साथ की। उन्होंने कहा कि...

Transform Your Prayer Room with These 5 Traditional Items: A Step-by-Step Checklist for a Divine Ambiance

Creating a serene and spiritually uplifting pooja room is essential for every home. It’s a sacred space where rituals meet tranquility, and traditions come alive. In this blog, we’ll explore the five must-have items that are not only functional but also enhance the aesthetic and spiritual essence of your pooja room.

Introduction: Why a Well-Designed Pooja Room Matters

The pooja room serves as a spiritual retreat within your home. Whether it’s a dedicated room, a corner in your living space, or a wall-mounted mandir, its design and the items you choose play a vital role in fostering peace and devotion. A thoughtfully curated pooja room can transform your daily rituals into a divine experience, uplifting your mind and soul.

To achieve this, incorporating the right elements is crucial. From traditional brass items to modern decor ideas, here’s everything you need for an ideal pooja room.

1. The Mandir: The Heart of the Pooja Room

The mandir is the centerpiece of any pooja room. Its design, placement, and material significantly influence the energy of the space.

Key Considerations for Mandir Design:

Material: Wooden mandirs offer a classic and warm appeal, while marble or brass mandirs exude elegance.

Design: Choose from traditional carvings, sleek modern designs, or wall-mounted options.

Placement: Ensure the mandir faces east or northeast for maximum positive energy.

Popular Styles:

Wooden Mandir Design: Intricate carvings and durability.

Wall-Mounted Mandirs: Space-saving and ideal for smaller homes.

Contemporary Mandirs: Minimalistic designs for modern aesthetics.

By selecting the right mandir, you set the foundation for a pooja room that radiates devotion and serenity.

2. Brass Pooja Items: Timeless Essentials for Rituals

Brass pooja items are not only visually appealing but also have spiritual significance. They symbolize purity and prosperity, making them indispensable in any pooja room.

Must-Have Brass Items:

Brass Diyas: Illuminate your pooja room with traditional oil lamps. The flickering flame represents enlightenment and positivity.

Brass Pooja Thali: A complete set for offerings, including space for kumkum, rice, and other essentials.

Brass Kalash: Often used in rituals to hold holy water.

Brass Bells: The sound of bells is believed to dispel negative energy and invite divine blessings.

Regular maintenance of brass items ensures their shine and longevity, adding to the beauty of your pooja room.

3. Decorative Elements: Enhancing the Ambience

The decor in your pooja room creates an atmosphere of peace and divinity. Thoughtful decoration can make the space more inviting and spiritually charged.

Top Decorative Ideas:

Urli with Floating Flowers: A brass urli filled with water, flowers, and candles adds a traditional touch.

Wall Hangings: Intricate brass or metal hangings featuring deities or sacred symbols.

Hanging Diyas: Perfect for creating a warm and divine ambiance.

Flower Garlands: Use fresh or artificial garlands to adorn the mandir and walls.

These decorative elements not only elevate the aesthetics but also align with traditional practices, creating a visually harmonious space.

4. Functional Accessories for a Clutter-Free Space

Keeping your pooja room organized is essential for a peaceful ritual experience. Functional accessories help you maintain cleanliness and order.

Essential Accessories:

Shelves and Drawers: For storing incense sticks, matchboxes, and pooja samagri.

Pooja Mats: Comfortable seating for prayers, made from natural fibers like jute or cotton.

Abhishek Patra: A vessel used for offering milk or water during rituals.

Organizing your pooja room ensures you can perform your daily rituals without interruptions or distractions.

5. Lighting: Illuminating the Divine

Proper lighting is crucial for creating a serene and divine environment in your pooja room.

Types of Lighting to Consider:

Traditional Brass Diyas: For rituals and traditional aesthetics.

LED Backlights: Highlight the mandir with soft, glowing light.

Hanging Lights: Enhance the ambiance with decorative hanging lights.

The right lighting can transform your pooja room, making it a tranquil and inviting space for prayer and meditation.

Maintenance Tips for Your Pooja Room

Clean Brass Items Regularly: Use lemon and salt or brass polish for a natural shine.

Replace Flowers Daily: Fresh flowers add a sense of purity and fragrance.

Organize Weekly: Declutter and arrange items for a neat and peaceful look.

Dust-Free Mandir: Ensure the mandir and idols are dust-free by cleaning regularly.

Why a Well-Equipped Pooja Room is Essential

Spiritual Connection: Encourages mindfulness and devotion.

Aesthetic Appeal: Enhances your home’s interior while maintaining tradition.

Positive Energy: Promotes peace and harmony within your living space.

बहू नहीं बेटी है हमारी, इस सोच पर कटाक्ष करने आ रही हैं सान्या मल्होत्रा

बॉलीवुड में कई कलाकार ऐसे हैं जो फिल्मों के ज़रिये कुछ अलग विषय दर्शकों के सामने लेकर आते हैं। उनमें से एक हैं सान्या मल्होत्रा। वो अपनी आगामी फिल्म ‘मिसेज़’ में एक ऐसा विषय लेकर आ रही हैं जो समाज में बदलते दौर की एक सच्चाई दिखाता है। इस फिल्म में एक ऐसी कहानी है जो लगभग हर परिवार की कहानी है। फिल्म का टीज़र रिलीज़ हो चुका है। 58 सेकेंड के इस टीज़र में कहानी का सार झलक रहा है। फिल्म में सान्या के साथ निशांत दहिया लीड रोल में नजर आने वाले हैं। फिल्म जल्द ही OTT पर रिलीज़ होने वाली है।

हमारी सोसायटी में बहू के मामले में दो तरह की सोच देखने को मिलती है। एक, बहू, बहू होती है और बेटी, बेटी। वहीं दूसरी, "हम शादी कर बहू नहीं बेटी लाए हैं।" बदलते जमाने में कई बार दूसरी सोच ज्यादा सुनने को मिलती है। लेकिन क्या वाकई में ऐसा होता है? कुछ इसी स्थिति पर फिल्म आ रही है ‘मिसेज’। सान्या मल्होत्रा की ये फिल्म शादी और इसके बाद ससुराल के रिश्तों और उनसे जुड़ी पेचीदगियों पर आधारित है।

Celebrating Pravasi Bharatiya Divas: Honoring Indian Expats Who Keep Our Heritage Alive

Celebrating Pravasi Bharatiya Divas: Honoring Indian Expats Who Keep Our Heritage Alive

Introduction: The Significance of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas

Every year on January 9th, India celebrates Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, also known as Expatriate Indian Day. This special day honors the millions of Indians living abroad who continue to keep our rich culture and traditions alive across the globe. As we commemorate this important occasion, we pay tribute to the Indian diaspora's immense contributions to both their adopted countries and their motherland.

The History and Importance of Expatriate Indian Day

Pravasi Bharatiya Divas was first established in 2003 to recognize the achievements of the Indian community overseas. The date, January 9th, was chosen to commemorate Mahatma Gandhi's return to India from South Africa in 1915, a pivotal moment that sparked India's freedom movement.

This day serves multiple purposes:

To acknowledge the role of Indian expats in India's development

To create a platform for engaging with the Indian diaspora

To celebrate the cultural diversity of India through its global citizens

To strengthen the ties between India and its expatriate community

Contributions of the Indian Diaspora

The Indian diaspora, estimated at over 32 million people spread across 150 countries, has made significant contributions in various fields:

Economic: Indian expats are known for their entrepreneurial spirit and have founded successful companies worldwide. They also contribute through remittances, which play a crucial role in India's economy.

Cultural: By sharing Indian traditions, festivals, cuisine, and arts, expats have helped popularize Indian culture globally.

Academic: Many Indian scholars and researchers have made groundbreaking contributions to science, technology, and other academic fields.

Political: Indian-origin politicians have risen to prominent positions in several countries, influencing global policies.

Celebrating Indian Culture Abroad

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Indian diaspora is their dedication to preserving and sharing Indian culture. This is evident in various ways:

Cultural Events: Indian expats organize festivals like Diwali, Holi, and Navratri in their adopted countries, inviting locals to participate and experience Indian traditions.

Food: Indian restaurants and grocery stores have proliferated worldwide, introducing global palates to the diverse flavors of Indian cuisine.

Yoga and Meditation: These ancient Indian practices have gained immense popularity globally, promoting health and wellness.

Bollywood: Indian cinema and music have found fans across borders, becoming a soft power tool for cultural diplomacy.

Languages: Many expats teach Indian languages to their children and even to interested locals, helping preserve linguistic diversity.

The Role of Expats in Strengthening India's Global Presence

Indian expatriates play a crucial role in enhancing India's image and influence on the world stage:

They act as unofficial ambassadors, sharing positive aspects of Indian culture and values.

Their success stories contribute to India's reputation as a land of talent and potential.

Expats often facilitate business and diplomatic ties between India and their host countries.

They contribute to knowledge transfer, bringing back expertise and innovative ideas to India.

Challenges Faced by Indian Expats

While celebrating the achievements of Indian expats, it's important to acknowledge the challenges they face:

Cultural adjustment and homesickness

Discrimination and stereotyping in some countries

Balancing integration with preserving their Indian identity

Maintaining connections with family and friends in India

Navigating complex immigration policies

Government Initiatives for the Indian Diaspora

The Indian government has launched several initiatives to engage with and support the Indian diaspora:

Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award: This is the highest honor conferred on overseas Indians for their outstanding achievements.

Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI): This scheme provides various benefits to eligible overseas Indians, including lifelong visa-free travel to India.

Know India Programme (KIP): This initiative helps young overseas Indians connect with their roots and contemporary India.

Scholarship Programme for Diaspora Children (SPDC): This offers financial assistance to NRI and PIO students for higher education in India.

Success Stories of Indian Expats

The Indian diaspora has produced numerous success stories across various fields:

Sundar Pichai: CEO of Alphabet Inc. and Google

Indra Nooyi: Former CEO of PepsiCo

Satya Nadella: CEO of Microsoft

Kamala Harris: Vice President of the United States

Rishi Sunak: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

These individuals, among many others, serve as inspirations to both the Indian diaspora and people in India.

The Future of Indian Expatriates

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the role of Indian expats is likely to grow:

They will continue to be key players in fostering innovation and technological advancements.

The diaspora will play a crucial role in India's economic growth through investments and knowledge transfer.

Indian expats will likely take on more leadership roles in global organizations and governments.

They will continue to be cultural ambassadors, further popularizing Indian traditions worldwide.

Conclusion: A Tribute to Indian Expats

As we celebrate Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, we honor the millions of Indian expats who continue to spread our culture and traditions across the world. Your dedication to our heritage serves as an inspiration to all of us. By proudly upholding and reflecting the richness of Indian culture, you introduce India to the world and reinforce the values of unity and togetherness.

To quote Dr. Nowhera Shaik, MD & CEO of Heera Group of Companies:

"This special day symbolizes respect and appreciation for every Indian who proudly upholds and reflects the richness of Indian culture and traditions, no matter where they reside. By doing so, you introduce India to the world and reinforce the values of unity and togetherness."

To all Indian expats: Your contributions are invaluable, and your success is India's pride. Happy Expatriate Indian Day!
