AUROBINDO

Folks.The VISION OF SRI AUROBINDO.
"THERE IS AN ASCENDING EVOLUTION IN NATURE WHICH GOES FROM THE STONE TO THE PLANT,FROM THE PLANT TO THE ANIMAL,FROM THE ANIMAL TO MAN.BECAUSE MAN IS,FOR THE MOMENT,THE LAST RUNG AT THE SUMMIT OF THE ASCENDING EVOLUTION,HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF AS THE FINAL STAGE IN THIS ASCENSION AND BELIEVES THERE CAN BE NOTHING ON EARTH SUPERIOR TO HIM.IN HIS PHYSICAL NATURE,HE IS YET ALMOST WHOLLY AN ANIMAL,A THINKING AND SPEAKING ANIMAL,BUT STILL AN ANIMAL IN HIS MATERIAL HABITS AND INSTINCTS.............................."
DURING THE WHOLE OF HIS LIFE UPON EARTH,SRI AUROBINDO GAVE ALL HIS TIME TO ESTABLISH IN HIMSELF THIS CONSCIOUSNESS,WHICH HE CALLED SUPRA-MENTAL,AND TO HELP THOSE GATHERED AROUND HIM "(MOTHER).

OPERATION JUPITER ( OPERATION PAWAN)

FROM THE HIMALAYAS TO THE ARABIAN SEA

Folks.In the true traditions of the Indian Armed Forces , to fulfill their vow to serve their Motherland by Land/Air/Sea, the 'BHULAS' of 7 Garhwal Rifles belonging to the Himalayan Region were airlifted by IL-76s all the way from Bareilly to Trivandrum on 26 July 1989 ,& later by helicopter embarkation from INS GARUDA,Cochin by Sea Kings & Chetaks on board INS VIRAAT - sailing in the High seas to execute a special Mission Operation 'JUPITER' ( Op PAWAN).
What a perfect blend ! From the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea !
INS VIRAAT had now became a Commando Carrier with her Harriers, C42s & Chetaks already landed - a floating city with 1800 plus on board & still having 200 Bunks vacant for emergency !
From a crack foot slogging infantry battalion,we converted into a formidable Assault Battalion after having trained day in & day out with C 42s & other Crafts.Hats off to the MARCOS !
We later disembarked at the Lions Gate, Mumbai to a rousing reception by the Top Brass of the three Services & the Mumbayites - with Military Band leading our long convoy up to Kalina Camp.
The Garhwal Rifles Regiment is combat affiliated with INS VIRAAT & also with 14 SQUADRON IAF that provided valuable ground & air support to 10,17 & 18 Garhwal Rifles during Operation VIJAY.
THE ILLUSTRIOUS GARHWAL RIFLES REGIMENT IS THE ONLY REGIMENT OF INDIAN ARMY TO HAVE THE SINGULAR DISTINCTION & HONOUR TO HAVE TRI-SERVICE COMBAT AFFILIATION.
JAI BADRI VISHAL.

FOLKS.HAPPY JANAMASHTAMI TO YOU ALL

Krishna Janmashtami 2015     

Krishna Janmashtami, the annual celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna, who is the eighth avatar of Vishnu, will be celebrated today on Saturday, 5 September 2015.

Born to king Vasudeva and Devaki of Mathura, Lord Krishna's birth anniversary is observed on the eighth day of Shravan month (August–September) as per the Indian calendar.

The festival is also known as Srikrishna Jayanthi, Gokulashtami, Saatam Aatham and Ashtami Rohini.

Rasa lila and Dahi Handi are the major attractions of the festival. Rasa lila orRasa dance describes the story of Krishna, in which he dances with Radha and her companions. It is mainly performed in Mathura and Vrindavan. Meanwhile, Dahi Handi or uriadi, the festival in which young men form human towers to break the high-hanging pot of butter, celebrates the Lord's mischievous side.

May Lord Krishna steal all your tensions and worries, and bless you this Janmashtami. May he give you all the love, joy, peace and happiness. Happy Janmashtmi. 

Today is a special day as someone special was born;

To fight against inhumanity

To save the trust in God

Happy Krishna Janamashtami wishes.

Happy Janmashtami.

Pray to God for your prosperous life

Yashoda ke KRISHNA ke,
Radha ke SHYAM ke,
Gwalon ke KANHA ke,
Gopion ke MAKHAN CHOR ke,
Janamdin ki hardik shubh kamnayen

May Lord Krishna bring happiness in ur life and hatred away from ur life.
Enjoy Janmashtami with heart full of love. Happy Janmashtami greetings.
