  • In A First For Country, Nita Ambani Inaugurates India House At Paris Olympics |

    PARIS: Fresh off the year’s most extravagant wedding, Nita Ambani inaugurated the India House for the Paris Olympics on Saturday. 

    The first of its kind at an Olympic Games for India, the temporary house is meant to promote Indian culture as the country aspires to host the 2036 Games. The endeavor was born from the partnership between the Indian Olympic Association and the Reliance Foundation, which Ambani founded and chairs. 

    “Today we gather here at the Paris Olympic Games 2024 to open the doors to a dream. A dream that belongs to 1.4 billion Indians. A dream to bring India to the Olympics and our shared dream to bring the Olympics to India,” Ambani, an International Olympic Committee member, said in her address. 

    India House is one of several hospitality houses that spring up around the Games, affiliated with participating countries or brands. This is a smattering of what’s on offer from Saturday through Aug. 11, the day of the closing ceremony: 

    — Tributes to Indian architecture and artistic motifs (think tigers and peacocks) 

    — Virtual reality tourism 

    — Cricket matches 

    — Workshops on block printing 

    — Henna tattooing and Bollywood dance 

    — A lounge for athletes 

    — Food, of course, which ranges from biryani and mutton curry to curd rice and several desserts. 

    “It’s beautiful, it’s colorful. It’s smiles, it’s joy, it’s happiness. It’s India,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said at the event. “It’s what we all love, the entire world. The world is here today. And India House unites the world.” 

    Infantino was there to encourage the development of soccer in India, whose men’s team ranks 124th and women’s team 67th in their respective FIFA standings. 

    “In India, football is fantastic,” he said. “Together, we make it grow even more. And, I’m here for that. So to all Indians: Watch us, football is coming seriously now in India.” 

    India has sent 112 athletes in 16 sports to the Olympics. 

    In addition to daily activities, India House will have performances, including an opening night concert from famed Bollywood playback singer Shaan. Sunday is “Bollywood Day” but will feature an hourlong session with ex-cricketer and coach Rahul Dravid on the future of cricket at the Olympics. 

    Men’s and women’s cricket, played in the Twenty20 format, will be added at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. 

    Ambani was accompanied by her husband, Mukesh Ambani, the billionaire industrialist who is Asia’s richest man. It’s been a busy month for the couple: Their youngest son, Anant Ambani, was married just two weeks ago in an elaborate, global celebrity-filled affair that many have dubbed the wedding of the year.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a warning to Hezbollah, stating that they will ‘pay a heavy price’ for the rocket attack on Saturday that resulted in the deaths of 11 young people in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights region, reported AP.

    Israeli authorities reported that a rocket strike on Saturday at a soccer field resulted in the deaths of at least 11 children and teenagers. This incident marks the deadliest attack on an Israeli target along the northern border since the conflict with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

    Israel accused Hezbollah of carrying out the strike in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights, however Hezbollah quickly denied any involvement.

    Netanyahu’s office announced that he would cut short his visit to the United States by several hours, though it did not specify his return time. Upon his arrival, he plans to convene the security cabinet, reported AP.

    The White House National Security Council in a statement cited by AP said the US “will continue to support efforts to end these terrible attacks along the Blue Line, which must be a top priority. Our support for Israel’s security is iron-clad and unwavering against all Iranian-backed terrorist groups, including Lebanese Hezbollah.”

    Heart was broken in Tokyo, now she is close to the medal

    Three years after the heartbreaking Tokyo Olympics performance, Bhaker has made a stunning comeback by making it to the finals at the Paris Olympics. It is a significant comeback for the young shooter, who had considered quitting the sport some time back. Bhaker’s journey to the final was quite impressive.

Her sixth and final series ended with a solid score of 96, taking her overall score to 580-27x. This score was achieved through consistent performances, with Bhaker scoring 97, 97, 98, 96 and 96 in her previous rounds.

    On the other hand, another talented shooter Rhythm Sangwan finished her campaign with a score of 573-14x and was placed 15th in the overall rankings. Despite missing out on a place in the final, Sangwan’s effort was commendable, showcasing her ability and determination.

  • Muni Sudhakar gave the formula for making the house a temple, said- a happy family is the basis of a happy life

    Raipur. Home is the first temple of a human being, it is a pilgrimage, it is Ganga, it is a school. The house where one experiences peace, ease, kindness, happiness is a temple. This view was expressed by Muni Sudhakar in the lecture series “Make your home a temple” at Jai Samavsaran, Raipur Tagore Nagar Lal Ganga Patwa Bhawan.

    Addressing the huge crowd present for the discourse, Munishri said that religion should begin from one’s own home instead of any temple, mosque, gurudwara or religious place. Rather than thinking about heaven or hell ahead, a house where there is harmony, intimacy, friendly behavior among family members like brothers, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law etc. is like heaven. A house where there is distance, conflict, and estrangement is like hell. A happy family is the basis of a happy life.

    Munishri said that during the time of Rama, dignity was needed, during the time of Mahavira, non-violence was needed, but at present, love is needed. Love should become religion, scriptures, the basis of life. The house where there is love and affection, wealth and fame reside there. That house becomes the abode of salvation like the house of Bharat Chakravarti.

    While enunciating the five-sutra principle for turning a home into a temple, Muni Shri said that family members should participate in each other’s work, be helpful, extend a helping hand, share the work. They should find their own happiness in each other’s happiness. In the second sutra he said that if family members stay united and respect each other then no one else can do any harm to them. Assimilating the saying ‘What is yours, what is mine, this world is for everyone’s sake’, in the third sutra he inspired people to be ready for sacrifice. In the fourth sutra he told that where there is wealth, there is property. Before draping a chunari on mother in the temple, before offering food to God, one should respect one’s parents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brothers and sisters. By living with love, cooperation, by living with wealth, Lakshmi resides.

    While providing special food with the fifth and most important sutra, Muni Shri said that cleanliness is the step to the temple. The house in which junk and rubbish are lying on the roof or basement causes the biggest Vaastu defect. It causes unrest. From the point of view of non-violence, it causes the birth of living beings.

    Muni Nareshkumar said that religion should be considered as the most important thing in life, religion should be given more importance than wealth, religion is the life force of life. Terapanth Parishad President Virendra Daga said that around 17 brothers and sisters are doing penance of eight and above. On the occasion of Muskan Bhansali’s penance of nine years, the sisters of Bhansali family sang a song.

  • Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath Gets Backing From Top BJP Leadership; Trouble Mounts For Keshav Prasad Maurya |

    The BJP’s top leadership has taken a stern view of the internal politics going on in the party’s Uttar Pradesh unit. Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya’s statements and trips to Delhi created an atmosphere of uncertainty in the state with opposition parties claiming that Maurya wanted Yogi Adityanath to be replaced following the BJP’s poor performance in the Lok Sabha polls. On the other hand, the state BJP president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary also submitted a report to the party’s high command. 

    Now, with key BJP leaders including CM Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Minister Maurya and Dy CM Brajesh Pathak meeting the senior party leaders in Delhi, a message has been conveyed to those trying to create a rift within the party. As per reports, it has been conveyed to the state party leaders that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will continue to lead the party even in the 2027 Assembly elections.

    According to Zee News TV, the BJP central leadership is now also reviewing the performance of both the deputy CMs – Maurya and Pathak and organisational restructuring involving the two leaders may take place in the coming months. Maurya has also been asked to not speak outside party forums and present his views directly to the party.

    Before heading to Delhi for the NITI Aayog meeting, the chief minister conducted a comprehensive 20-day review with public representatives from Uttar Pradesh following the 2024 Lok Sabha election results, where the BJP faced significant losses. He held extensive review meetings with BJP MPs, MLAs, and MLCs from all 18 divisions of Uttar Pradesh to analyze the outcomes.

    Both Deputy Chief Ministers, Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brijesh Pathak, were absent from these review meetings led by the Chief Minister. Additionally, Maurya has missed several recent cabinet meetings chaired by Adityanath. 

  • ‘Open the blouse and see…’ Indecent comment on Mother Sita, after Pradeep Mishra, now Vrindavan’s Mahamandaleshwar speaks harshly

    The incident of Bhagwat spokesperson Pradeep Mishra making indecent comments against Radharani and his apology had not yet subsided. Meanwhile, there is an uproar in Brajbhoomi once again after Bhagwat preacher Mahamandaleshwar Indradev Maharaj of Vrindavan made indecent comments against Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram and Sita.

    Actually, recently in Vrindavan, Bhagwatcharya Mahamandaleshwar Indradev Maharaj made indecent remarks against Lord Shri Ram and Mother Sita. The video of which is going viral on social media. After the video went viral, tension has arisen in the area, but now the saint community has appealed for peace and harmony.

  • RPF IG gave instructions to catch illegal vendors… RPF misunderstood in Durg? Lalluram gave information… action started again, where did Sr DCM’s team disappear?

    Prateek Chauhan. Raipur/Durg. The IG of South East Central Railway Zone issued a letter on July 26 (Order No. 1862) and directed to take action against illegal vendors from July 28. But just a day after the issuance of this order and just a day before the start of the special drive, Lalluram’s team reached Durg Railway Station to know the condition of illegal vendors at Durg Railway Station. After reaching here, we were stunned to see that illegal vendors were seen doing illegal vending fearlessly inside the trains right in front of the RPF post (RPF POST DURG). After the whole act was captured on Lalluram’s camera, we informed the senior officials of RPF, after which the responsible persons of Durg RPF post reluctantly tried to catch the illegal vendors and many vendors were seen leaving their goods and running away in front of the RPF. After Lalluram’s information, Durg RPF has confirmed action against 11 illegal vendors.

    IG had reached Durg a few days ago, still there is no fear

    It has not been even a week since the IG of South East Central Railway Zone inspected the Durg RPF post. But looking at the number of illegal vendors seen in front of the RPF post here, one can guess how much fear there is of the IG’s visit here.

    Now will the show-off action take place from tomorrow?

    Now that the RPF IG has given instructions, it is imperative for the RPF post Durg to take action. This is the reason that from 28th July onwards, preparations are being made to formulate a strategy to take action against illegal vendors and catch them, so that the action can be seen on paper.

    Sir DCM sir! where is your team?

    As much as RPF is responsible for catching illegal vendors, the team of the commercial department working under the leadership of Sr DCM is also more responsible, which probably does its duty sitting in a closed room? Or should we say that Sr DCM has instructed them to issue cards only? Now the question is that if 11 illegal vendors were caught at Durg railway station after Lalluram’s information, then where were the responsible officers of the commercial department missing, whom the railways pay salary and all the comforts only to catch illegal vendors.

    See the number of vendors at Durg Railway Station and how they fearlessly vend even inside trains.
