HOW WAS OSAMA
BIN LADEN
TRACKED AND
KILLED
Seymour Hersh, America’s most controversial
investigative journalist, caused an uproar by alleging
that the U.S. government’s account of the 2011 killing of
Osama bin Laden in Pakistan was a lie.
Seymour Hersh has claimed in an article published in the London Review of
Books, that Pakistan’s military leaders have secretly agreed to an elaborate but
staged attack, that a frail and unarmed bin Laden is blown to pieces by closerange
rifle fire and his mangled body parts were thrown out from a helicopter
over the Hindu Kush rather than being buried at sea.
Hersh claimed that the CIA agents did not uncover the bin Laden’s location, instead, that information
is handed to them by a Pakistani official who has betrayed his country for a $25 million bounty.
Critics and White House officials have strongly condemned the allegations and accused Hersh of
conspiratorial excess. He relies on anonymous sources and unnamed insiders and builds a narrative
of events that are impossible to verify, they alleged.
According to Hersh’s account, a former senior
Pakistani intelligence officer walked into the U.S.
Embassy in Islamabad and told the CIA station chief
that Osama bin Laden is in Abbottabad.
Hersh told that he began working on the story
immediately after the U.S. raid on the bin Laden
compound in Pakistan. He said he had doubted, from
the beginning, the administration’s account of the
death of bin Laden on May 2, 2011, at the hands of
U.S. Navy SEALs. The administration said the SEALs
shot their way into the compound, near two Pakistani
military installations in Abbottabad and killed the
terrorist leader.
Hersh told that the SEALs encountered no opposition.
They did not have to shoot their way in. Pakistan’s
Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had hidden bin Laden
in the Abbottabad compound since 2006, Hersh said.
In 2010, a former Pakistan intelligence officer told
the CIA, that bin Laden is in the compound. He was
paid much of the $25 million reward that the U.S. had
offered for information on bin Laden’s whereabouts.
Armed with the former intelligence officer’s
information, Americans began planning to raid the
compound. Pakistanis knew of the plans. Americans
asked Pakistan security for physical details of the
compound and “the Pakistanis agreed to permit a fourman
American cell to be set up a liaison office” near the
compound for the coming raid.
Hersh also said that Pakistan’s top two military leaders,
Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, chief of the army staff, and
Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, director general of the ISI,
knew of the raid well in advance. In other words, US’s
so-called Pakistani allies had kept the world’s most
sought-after terrorist under wraps while the United
States searched for him and they admitted to this only
after an informant disclosed what they were doing.

JAYALALITHAA’S ACQUITTAL,
RIGHT OR WRONG
Karnataka high court has overturned a trial court judgment and acquitted
AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa and her three associates in an 18-year-old
disproportionate assets case. AIADMK chief, along with her aides N Sasikala, VN
Sudhakaran and J Elasvarasi, was held guilty of holding unaccounted income
during her tenure as chief minister from 1991-96 by the trial court.
Her close aide Sasikala and Sasikala’s relatives Sudhakaran and Elavarasi were fined Rs 10 crore
each. The prosecution charge was that in five years as Chief Miniser, her assets, including property
and jewelry have added up to 66 crores.
Pronouncing the operative portion of the judgement, which ran into 10 volumes and over 900 pages,
Justice CR Kumaraswamy said, “Appeal allowed. All charges set aside. All are acquitted.”
The decision to declare J Jayalalithaa not guilty may have been based
on deeply flawed math, the prosecutor has alleged. “In terms of
percentage there is a glaring arithmetical error,” said public prosecutor
BV Acharya. Justice CR Kumaraswamy found that Ms Jayalalithaa’s
illegal or unaccounted wealth was at 8% of her income, which is
“relatively small” and “within the permissible limit of 10 per cent”.
12
WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2015

Mr Acharya said, according to
page 852 of the Karnataka High
Court judgement, the loans add up
to almost Rs. 11 crore, while the
judge calculated her borrowings at
24 crores, around 13 crores more.
Jayalalithaa’s disproportionate
assets, therefore, add up to around
Rs. 16 crore and not Rs. 3 crore. “So
her assets are disproportionate by
76% and not 8.12 (as stated by the
judge). Since the glaring mistake
has come to our notice only now,
we are considering all options
available,” said Mr Acharya.
BV Acharya said, “I did not expect
this verdict. But so many judgments
are surprising.” Jayalalithaa’s
lawyer B Kumar said, “This is a
historic judgement. Our faith in the
judiciary has been restored.” “The
case against Jayalalithaa could
not be proved so she has been let
off,” said Kumar, “Now, there is
no restriction on Jayalalithaa to
become the CM.”
“It will be a big blow to all opposition parties,” said
C Lakshmanan, a professor at the Madras Institute
of Development Studies. “It will be a nightmare for
all of them. The AIADMK might have a cakewalk in
the 2016 elections. The BJP may not be able to even
imagine a hold in Tamil Nadu in their lifetime unless
they completely surrender to Amma,” he said.
Speculations are rife that Jayalalithaa may go for snap polls, riding on the strength of the verdict in her favour,
that smashes the corruption plank raised against her by opposition parties.

A MONK WHO
SOLD HIS
FERRARI:
INDIAN VERSION
BENGALURU: Rahul Yadav has resigned as the
CEO of Housing. com, capping several weeks of
drama at one of India’s most watched startups and
leaving investors with the challenge of restoring
normalcy at the online real estate services
company.
Yadav, 26, wrote a scornful resignation letter
on April 30 to board members and investors
denigrating their “intellectual capability” and
giving them a one-week deadline to “help in the
transition”. The investors responded a day later
through the law firm Morrison & Foerster LLP
acknowledging the resignation. ET has seen both
letters.
ET had reported on March 12 that investors
were considering a plan to remove Yadav,
who studied at IIT-Bombay along with
the other Housing co-founders, due to
concerns over strategy and his conduct.
The board of Housing will meet on Tuesday to
discuss the resignation and chart a new plan for
the company.
Housing shot to fame as one of India’s startup
success stories after Japan’s SoftBank led an
investment of $90 million ( Rs 550 crore) in
December, valuing it at Rs 1,500 crore. Since then,
Yadav has been in the spotlight for the wrong
reasons — he became embroiled in a social media
dust-up with Sequoia Capital Managing Director
Shailendra Singh and later the Times Group,
which publishes this newspaper.
Late last month, SoftBank’s Vice-Chairman
Nikesh Arora resigned from the board. SoftBank
executive Jonathan Bullock will take his place.
“I don’t think you guys are intellectually capable
enough to have any sensible discussion anymore.
This is something which I not just believe but can
prove on your faces also!” Yadav wrote in the
opening paragraph of his letter resigning as CEO,
chairman and a member of the board.
Documents accessed by ET show that Yadav owns
4.57% stake in the company. Nexus Ventures
owns 19%, SoftBank 32%, and Helion Ventures
and Falcon Edge about 10% each.
Yadav, Housing co-founder and board
member Advitiya Sharma and investors
including SoftBank’s Arora, Helion’s Ashish
Gupta and Nexus’ Suvir Sujan did not reply
to separate emails.
The Housing board consisted of three directors
— Yadav, Sharma and Arora. On Tuesday, sources
told ET that the first item on the board’s agenda
will be the appointment of two new directors —
Ritesh Banglani of Helion and Sujan of Nexus —
and formalising the appointment of Bullock in
place of Arora.
SoftBank has asked all shareholders including
Nexus Venture Partners, Helion Venture
Partners, Qualcomm Ventures, Nirvana Ventures,
Falcon Edge Capital to be present for the meeting
which will be held at the office of the law firm AZB
& Partners in Mumbai on Tuesday.

“Everyone is waiting for a valuation correction to happen. Housing was a poster child
for a dramatic run-up to sky-high valuations, so this may be the trigger that ends the
valuation bubble, especially in Internet commerce,” said Sharma.

MODI IN MONGOLIA
Narendra Modi’s visit to Mongolia will be the first visit by a Indian Prime Minister. Modi will be in Mongolia
on May 17. Terming Mongolia as its spiritual friend, Modi said, “Democracy and Buddhism bind India with
Mongolia– our spiritual friend,” on Twitter. The Prime Minister will also address the Great Khural (Parliament
of Mongolia) on his maiden visit. Modi will also commemorate 60 years of Indo-Mongolian diplomatic relations,
and also the silver jubilee of Mongolia’s democracy. Modi’s visit to Mongolia will see discussions on better trade
and investment ties between the two nations.
MODI IN SOUTH KOREA
In the last leg of his tri-nation tour, Narendra Modi will spend two days in South Korea. During his visit, trade
and investments will be the core issue at the bilateral meet with President Park Geun-hye. Modi will look on to
boost Indo-Korean ties in the field of infrastructure, manufacturing, ship building, energy, defence production
among many other sectors. Modi tweeted, ” Hello to my friends in the Republic of Korea. I will be visiting this
beautiful land of the morning calm once again, on 18th & 19th May.”
While Narendra Modi embarks on a three-nation tour to China, Mongolia, and South Korea; his trip will
also mark the completion of one year of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Centre government in India. It will
interesting to see how Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip eventually pans out, because when he will return

Cover STORY
The swearing in ceremony has seen many of the leaders of the
neighbouring countries attending the function. This envisaged the
new foreign policy of the country. People have overwhelmingly put
all their expectation of Ache din as promised by the Prime Ministerial
candidate during the elections. The government was able to make
the people of the country to feel the working of the government for
the prosperity of the country and its citizens. The opposition lead by
Congress has not wasted any occasion to ensure that the government
cannot function properly or initiate any people centric measures for
the welfare of the people, by imposing the delaying tactics by ensuring
all the bills are sent to committees. This is possible for the opposition
lead by the Congress using the numbers in the Rajya Sabha. This
ensured that the bills passed by the Lok Sabha are stalled in the Rajya
Sabha.
The government is successful in conveying the delaying tactics of the
opposition and the Congress, to the people of the country and it is
well accepted by them. But the government is not trembling before
the anti-development agenda and delaying tactics of the opposition
and the Congress, it went ahead with many initiatives for the safety,
security and prosperity of the country and its people. Below is the
timeline of the government for the last one year.

Indian FREEDOM FIGHTER
GOPAL KRISHNA GOKHALE
THE MAN BEHIND SOCIAL REFORMS
Born: May 9, 1866, Ratnagiri
Died: February 19, 1915, Mumbai
Gopal Krishna Gokhale. One of the men who is behind the independence movement
against the British empire in India. In fact, it is not only about the independence, but he
was also the man behind the promotions of social reforms in the country in those days.
Being the senior leader
of Indian National
Congress and also the
founder of the Servants
of India society, he
used to carry down
the independence
movements and social
reform activities.
‘Servants of India society’:
‘Servants of India society’ is a small group of few educated people like
Natesh Appaji Dravid, Gopal Krishna Deodhar and Anant Patwardhan.
The main motto of this society is to promote the social and human
development in the country and eliminate the British rule completely.

Through this society, he organized many campaigns
and promoted education, sanitation, health and
on the other side, the society also fought against
untouchability, discrimination, poverty, oppression of
women, alcohol etc.
ENTRY INTO INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS
In 1889, with the support of ‘Mahadev Govind
Ranade’ who is a founding member of Indian National
Congress, Gokhale became as one of the members in
the party. He fought for many decades to obtain power
over the public affairs for common Indians.
In 1895, Gokhale became the Congress joint secretary
along with Tilak. In the beginning, there were many
identities among the both, be it their caste, college,
profession, etc. But, later, few differences arose
between the duo, regarding their thoughts of serving
the Indian society.
India Society’ and also wished that there should be an
advancement in the Indian education.
DEATH DUE TO STRESSES
Amidst of stresses and continuous tensions from
all these works, Gokhale died on 19 February 1915
whose age was just forty nine.
At his funeral, the words said by Tilak, the political
opponent of Gokhale, would always be heart touching
to Indians and make them proud. The words he
spoke out are “This diamond of India, this jewel of
Maharashtra, this prince of workers is taking an
eternal rest on funeral ground. Look at him and try to
emulate him”.
Lets salute to the greatest man, Mr. Gopal Krishna
Gokhale, who struggled throughout his life to bring
social reforms.
RIVALRY WITH TILAK
Initially, the rivalry started when the ‘Age of Consent
Bill’ which is introduced by the British Imperial
Government, in 1891–92. It is all about the child
marriages which told that, the age should be raised to
twelve from ten. Gokhale supported the consent bill
to curb the child marriage abuses.
On the other side, Tilak was not against the bill, but
he objected the British interference with the Hindu
tradition. He opined that, it would be better if such type
of reforms are done after achieving the independence
to the country. However the bill became a law later.
In 1905, Gokhale became president of the Indian
National Congress. He then used his power and
influence on his rival Tilak. In 1906, when the latter
was considered as the candidate for president of the
Congress, Gokhale refused to give his support. Since
then, the rivalry has started increasing between the
duo, which even made the Congress party to split.
MORE THAN A NATIONALIST, HE IS A SOCIAL
REFORMER
Though Gokhale is a leader of Indian nationalist
movement, he was more concerned about the
social reforms and believed that there would be
every chance to achieve such reforms by working
within existing British government institutions. This
intention of Gokhale was aggressively taken by many
more nationalists along with Tilak.
Though Gokhale faced criticisms, he did not give up his
political career. He continued to be very active in all his
political activities. Apart from politics, he continued
to promote the reforms through the ‘Servants of

Indian-American Bobby
Jindal has taken a major
step towards running
for the White House in a
decade of political highs
for the community in the
United States. The 43-year
Louisiana governor, whose
parents emigrated from the
Punjab to America, launched
a presidential exploratory
committee on Monday,
typically the first step
towards such a run.
Over the next few weeks,
Jindal will explore the
possibility of credibly
joining an already crowded
Republican field of some
half dozen aspirants. He is
expected to make a final
decision after his state’s
legislative session ends in
mid-June.
‘’For some time now, my wife Supriya and
I have been thinking and praying about
whether to run for the Presidency of our
great nation,’’ Jindal said in a statement.
‘’If I run, my candidacy will be based on the
idea that the American people are ready
to try a dramatically different direction.
Not a course correction, but a dramatically
different path.’’
If he does join the race, Jindal will be the first person
of Indian origin to formally run for President at a
time the political star of the community is on the
rise. Indian-Americans are also poised to have the
first Senator from the community next year when
Democrat Kamala Harris is a hot favorite to win the
seat vacated by Barbara Boxer. Harris’ mother, Dr
Shyamala Gopalan, was south Indian and her father,
Prof Donald Harris, a Jamaican.
To run for the White House, Jindal will first have to win the Republican nomination in a field that is already
packed with aspirants who have already declared their candidature. Among them are Senators Ted Cruz
(Texas), Rand Paul (Kentucky) and Marco Rubio (Florida), former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, and for
HP CEO Carly Fiorina. Four other Republican governors have also formed exploratory committees or similar
groundwork to assess their chances - Jeb Bush (Florida), Chris Christie (New Jersey) John Kasich (Ohio), and
Scott Walker (Wisconsin).

Labor MLC Daniel Mookhey makes
Australian political history by swearing
on the Bhagavad Gita. Nitin Daniel
Mookhey, who is born in the year
1982 is an Australian politician.
He has been a Labor member of the
New South Wales Legislative Council
from 6th May 2015, when he was
appointed to fill a vacancy caused
by Steve Whan’s resignation. Born in
Blacktown in Western Sydney and
raised in Merrylands, to Indian migrant
parents from Punjab, Mookhey is the
first parliamentarian in the Australian
history to be sworn into the office on
the Bhagavad Gita. Daniel Mookhey​
pledged his loyalty by swearing on the
Srimad Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse
Hindu scripture whose title translates
to “SONG OF THE LORD”.
32-year-old Mookhey is from the Labor’s right wing, has worked as a management
consultant and was the 2013 federal campaign director of the Australian Council of
Trade Unions. NSW Parliament holds copies of the Bible, the Koran and the Torah,
however, Mr Mookhey brought his own copy of the text known as the Srimad Bhagavad
Gita. “It’s incredibly humbling to be the first Australian parliamentarian to swear his oath
of allegiance on the Srimad Bhagavad Gita​,” he said before the ceremony. “It was a very
28

important backdrop to my childhood and I’m swearing my
oath today to tip my hat to that heritage,” he said, adding
that he wanted to honour “my parents and the sacrifices
they made to come to this country”.
Mr Mookhey said he was married in a Hindu ceremony
and observes major festivals, but “I’m not a person who
is at the temple every day”. While speaking about his
family, Daniel said, “My father and mother spent a lot of
time starting and supporting the institutions we now take
for granted. As new migrants, this was their contribution to
the community, and I am really proud of their achievements.
The Mandir at Auburn is one of these and it is a source of
pride to me each time I visit. I attend Diwali there and had
the Ganesh puja for my wedding there about three years
ago.”
Daniel has a lot of initiatives in mind, “I want to make sure
that our community that is well and truly past adolescence,
that is now about to experience the bloom of its maturity,
really has the opportunity to put more people forward into
positions of prominence and not just in politics. I’m looking
forward to meeting the first Australian Indian CEO of a big
corporation,” he stated. “I’m looking forward to meeting
the very first Australian Indian to head a government
department, I’m looking forward to meeting an Australian
Indian who will be an ambassador to India. People from
my generation who were born here have exposure to the
language and the culture, will have the opportunity to do
(these things).”
Daniel also has strong views on improving the system,
“It’s about making sure we have the schools and children
have the education that they
need and hospitals, so those sick
and their families don’t have to
worry.” “It’s making sure that we
have nursing homes for people
like my mother, a wonderful
woman who has been working
ever since she got here. That she
has a place to go, where she can
speak her own bhasha and eat
her own food in the declining
years of her life,” cited Daniel.
Post-elections, he said, these
are going to be big issues
that the community is going
to face. “I don’t see this as a
victory for me, I see this as an
opportunity to do something,
to give something back,” he
averred.”

with the white thread, which is embroidered on cool, pastel shades of light muslin and cotton
garments.

silk threads too. Though, the suits are now available across the world, Lucknow is considered as
the heart of the Chikankari industry

THE ARTS AND LITERATURE
Paramara rulers Munja and Bhoja are well-known
scholars of great repute. The following are the
works of Bhoja – Ayurvedasarvasva, Rajamriganka,
Vyavaharasamuchchaya, Sabdanusasana and
Yuktikalpataru.
Bhoja patronized literary giants such as
Padmagupta, Dhanika, Halayudha, Dhananjaya and
Amitragati. Rajasekhara, the author of the drama of
Karpuramanjari
in Prakrit was
patronized by
Mahendrapala
of Kanauj.
King Lakshmana
Sena of Bengal
patronized
Jayadeva,
the author of
Gita Govinda.
Kalhana, the
author of
Rajtarangini,
Somadevasuri,
the author
of Kathasaritsagara, Chand Bardai, the author
Prithiviraj Raso and Brihatkathamanjari, belonged
to this period. Vernacular literature also made
a beginning in this period. Hemachanda Suri, an
another great Jain poet is the one who occupies a
very comfortable place for his services.
RAJPUTS AS BUILDERS:
Other than patronizing arts and literature, the
Rajputs were also great builders. Art historians
divide their period into two halves, the first part
from AD 600-900 and the second part from
AD 900-1200. The second part exposes more
ornamentation than the first part.
The fortresses located at Chittorgarh,
Ranathanbhor and Kumbalgarh in Rajasthan
along with Mandu, Gwalior, Chandai and Asirgarh
in Madhya Pradesh are a few of the specimens of
secular art of the Rajputs
PALACES AND TEMPLES:
The palaces in Rajasthan are the pride marks
of the Rajputs art and architecture. They even
constructed a number of temples. The Chandella
rulers built by the Khajuraho group of temples
numbering 80. The each temple over there exhibits
individual architectural character, which stands
in good testimony to the artistic excel lence of the
Rajput artists and craftsmen.
These temples are well known for their graceful
contours, rich surface treatment and an elegant
proportions. Specially, the Sikharas of these
temples, which are both Brahmanical and Jaina
appear as most refined and exhibit elegance in
every inch.
The Jaina complex at Mount Abu is very
remarkable for its marble halls, a central dome
of 11 concentric rings and richly carved vaulted
ceiling and pillars. They also built Siva temples at
Nemavar and Udaipur. It is said that Rudramala
temple is one of the largest and most decorated
religious monuments in India.
From the
inroads of
ruthless
invaders
like Ghajini
and Ghori,
the Rajputs
acted as the
defenders
of Indian
culture,
which later
led to the
postponement for the establishment of Muslim
power in India
On the other side, the Rajputs failed to make an
impact on preventing the establishment of the Delhi
Sultanate by their narrow and clannish outlook, lack
of foresight and failure to realize the impending
danger knocking at their gates and importance of
burying mutual jealousies for a common good.
Rajputs have adopted the custom of ‘Purdah’. The
main intention of Rajputs behind adopting this is,
to make a physical segregation of the sexes and
the requirement that women cover their bodies so
as to cover their skin and conceal their form. It is
still being followed by the Muslim communities in
Afghanistan and Pakistan and also the upper caste
Hindus in North India, like Rajputs.

REDDYS TRADITION
VALUES TRADITION IRRESPECTIVE OF WHATEVER
DURING THE KAKATIYA AND THEIR OWN
DURJAYAKAMMA MUSUNURI KINGS PERIOD,
REDDYS CAME INTO PROMINENCE.
The Reddy kings contributed to their best to
Telugu literature, and it was they who patronized
Sanskrit, the sacred Hindu language.
Now, Reddy is considered as a forward caste
in the Telugu states, that is Telangana and
Andhra Pradesh.
TRADITION IN COMMON WITH OTHER
COMMUNITIES
The Reddys in all the various regions like
Telangana, Rayalaseema and other coastal
areas, follow the different traditions and
notions, which generally do not seem to have
very much in common with each other. In
fact, they have more in common with other
communities of their regions.
PROMINENT IN REFORM MOVEMENTS
The very common opinion among the people
about reddys is that, they are upper caste
bigots. But it is to be known that, they are
prominent in many reform movements. They
are even the backbone of the Saivite and
Vaishnavite reform movements too. Under
the influence of the Saivite reformers, many
reddys got intermarried with brahmins in a
few of the South coastal areas like Guntur.

WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2015
Coming to Telangana, the Reddys used to wed
the girls from other communities, but the off
spring would not bear the clan name. On the
other side, that is, on the north of Andhra
Pradesh, the reddys background include many
comrades who participated in the Telangana
people’s movement against the feudal Nizam
state in 1940’s.

IDENTITIES IN HIGH BUSINESS FIELDS
Later on, a large number of Reddys started turning to high business fields like construction, films etc who have
become the king makers in that field today. Nagi Reddy, Kalabandhu Subbarami Reddy are a few of them. There
are a few others like Anji Reddy who earned a prominence in the world pharmaceutical industry and Pulla
Reddy is the one, who is able to make a huge turnover at the international level and identified universally for his
quality of product.
Not only these,there are many others who are identified well among the public, more than the feeling of upper
caste bigots, there is a lot more to know about the tradition of Reddys which can actually make us salute them
for it.

Story for KIDS
LORD KRISHNA
THE SUPREME DEITY
Krishna also spelt
is considered the
supreme deity,
worshipped
across many traditions
of Hinduism in a variety
of different perspectives.
Krishna is recognized as
the eighth incarnation
(avatar) of Lord Vishnu, and
one and the same as Lord
Vishnu one of the trimurti
and as the supreme god in
his own right. Krishna is the
principal protagonist with
Arjuna in the Bhagavad
Gita also known as the Song
of God, which depicts the
conversation between the
Royal Prince Arjuna and
Krishna during the great
battle of Kureksetra 5000
years ago where Arjuna
discovers that Krishna is
God and then comprehends
his nature and will for him
and for mankind. In present
age Krishna is one of the
most widely revered and
most popular of all Indian
divinities.
Krishna is often described
and portrayed as an infant
eating butter, a young boy
playing a flute as in the
Bhagavata Purana, or as an
elder giving direction and
guidance as in the Bhagavad
Gita.
The stories of Krishna
appear across a broad
spectrum of Hindu
philosophical
and
theological traditions.
They portray him in
various perspectives: a
god-child, a prankster, a
model lover, a divine hero,
and the Supreme Being.
The principal scriptures
discussing Krishna’s story
are the Mahabharata, the
Harivamsa, the Bhagavata
Purana, and the Vishnu
Purana.
Krishna’s disappearance
marks the end of Dvapara
Yuga and the start of Kali
Yuga (present age), which
is dated to February 17/18,
3102 BCE. Worship of
the deity Krishna, either
in the form of deity
Krishna or in the form of
Vasudeva, Bala Krishna
or Gopala can be traced
to as early as 4th century
BC. Worship of Krishna as
Svayam Bhagavan, or the
Supreme Being, known as
Krishnaism, arose in the
middle Ages in the context
of the Bhakti movement.
From the 10th century AD,
Krishna became a favorite
subject in performing arts
and regional traditions of
devotion developed for
forms of Krishna such as
Jagannatha in Odisha,
Vithoba in Maharashtra
and Shrinathji in Rajasthan.
Since the 1960s the
worship of Krishna has
also spread in the Western
world, largely due to the
International Society for
Krishna Consciousness.

Healthy eyes and good vision play critical role in life of all age groups. As
eyes are the most precious possessions, take care of your eyes. Falling
vision is most commonly seen with aging but nowadays with lack of
proper diet and vitamins, even the children are suffering from lack of
vision. Also the doctors have proved that lifestyle diseases like diabetes
and obesity can also have a detrimental impact on your eyesight.
Experts suggest that the same diet that helps your heart is probably good for your eyes. Probably
carrots and orange colored fruits and vegetables promote good eye sight as they contain Betacarotene
but apart from that there are many foods which promoted good vision.

B E S T F O O D S F O R E Y E S I G H T :
Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and
vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts.
Researchers say eating foods rich in antioxidants is better than taking supplements.So here are the top foods
that are good at promoting eyesight, try to consume them more in your regular diet.
trans fats and low in saturated fat.
So, scientists proved that subjects
consuming most of olive oil were
48% less likely to develop ARMD.
LEAFY GREENS: Lutein and
zeaxanthin are important plant
pigments for eye health. The leafy
vegetables are packed with those
antioxidants which help in lowering
the risk of developing macular
degeneration and cataracts.
Broccoli, peas and avocados are
also good sources of this powerful
antioxidants.
TOMATOES: Tomatoes contain
carotenoids, including lycopene,
which helps give tomatoes their
vibrant red color. The experts have
proved that lycopene present in
ocular tissues helps prevent lightinduced
damage to the retina
and other areas of the eye. Even
tomatoes are rich in Vitamin C
which is another vision protector.
NUTS: Nuts like Almonds, walnuts,
pistachios are rich in omega 3 fatty
acids and Vitamin E which helps in
promoting good vision.
FISH: Usually fishes are rich in
omega 3 fatty acids which help
in protecting against dry eyes,
macular degeneration and even
cataracts. Among all types of
fishes, Salmon, tuna, Sardines and
Mackerel are good for eyesight.
If you don’t eat seafood, you can
get a good supply of omega-3s by
using fish oil supplements or taking
vegetarian supplements that
contain black currant seed oil or
flaxseed oil.
EGGS: Like Spinach and other
leafy greens, eggs are also good
source of lutein and zeaxanthin.
The Vitamin A in eggs may protect
from night blindness and dry eyes.
In one study, researchers found
that lutein levels increased by 26%,
while zeaxanthin levels increased
by 38% when subjects ate one egg
per day. They also found that eating
an egg-a-day did not impact LDL or
HDL cholesterol or triglycerides.
WHOLE GRAINS: A diet containing
foods with a low glycemic index
(GI) can help reduce your risk for
age-related macular degeneration.
Swap refined carbohydrates for
quinoa, brown rice, whole oats and
whole-wheat breads and pasta. The
vitamin E, zinc and niacin found in
whole grains also help promote
overall eye health.
CITRUS FRUITS AND BERRIES:
Oranges, grapefruits, lemons and
berries are high in vitamin C, which
may reduce the risk of cataracts
and macular degeneration.
OLIVE OIL: A diet that is low in Trans
and saturated fat helps prevent
retina diseases. Several studies
suggest that a Mediterranean-style
diet (fish, plant-based foods, and
healthy fats) is recommended for
healthy vision. Olive oil is free of
COLORFUL FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES: Foods like
Carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers,
strawberries, pumpkin, corn are
rich sources of Vitamin A and C.
And carotenoids which give color
to these compounds help decrease
the risk of many eye diseases.
FISH OIL, FLAXSEED OIL AND
BLACK CURRANT SEED OIL:
These super supplements contain
omega-3 fatty acids and have
many eye health benefits, including
helping to prevent or control dry
eye syndrome as well as reduce the
risk of macular degeneration and
cataracts.

Indian TRAVELOGUE
SARNATH
Sarnath is a city located 13 kilometres north-east of Varanasi near the
confluence of the Ganges and the Gomati rivers in Uttar Pradesh, India.
The deer park in Sarnath is where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and
where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment of
Kondanna. Singhpur, a village approximately one km away from the site, was the
birthplace of Shreyansanath, the eleventh Tirthankara of Jainism, and a temple
dedicated to him, is an important pilgrimage site.

Indian TRAVELOGUE
Isipatana is mentioned by the Buddha as one of the four places of pilgrimage which
his devout followers should visit, if they wanted to visit a place for that reason. It
was also the site of the Buddha’s Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, which was his first
teaching after attaining enlightenment, in which he taught the four noble truths and
the teachings associated with it.
60
WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2015

Mrigadava means “deer-park”.
Isipatana is the name used in the
Pali Canon, and means the place
where holy men (Pali: isi, Sanskrit:
rishi) landed.
The legend says that when the
Buddha-to-be was born, some
devas came down to announce
it to 500 rishis. The rishis all rose
into the air and disappeared and
their relics fell to the ground.
[citation needed] Another
explanation for the name is that
Isipatana was so called because
sages, on their way through the
air (from the Himalayas), alight
here or start from here on their
aerial flight (isayo ettha nipatanti
uppatanti cati-Isipatanam).
Pacceka Buddhas, having spent
seven days in contemplation in
the Gandhamadana, bathe in the
Anotatta Lake and come to the
habitations of men through the air,
in search of alms. They descend
to earth at Isipatana. Sometimes
the Pacceka Buddhas come to
Isipatana from Nandamulakapabbhara.
Xuanzang quotes the
Nigrodhamiga Jataka (J.i.145ff)
to account for the origin of the
Migadaya. According to him the
Deer Park was a forest given
by the king of Benares of the
Jataka, where deer might wander
unmolested. The Migadaya was socalled
because deer were allowed
to roam about their unmolested.
Sarnath derives from the Sanskrit
Saranganatha, which means “Lord
of the Deer,” and relates to another
old Buddhist story in which the
Bodhisattva is a deer and offers his
life to a king instead of the doe the
latter is planning to kill. The king is
so moved that he creates the park
as a sanctuary for deer. The park is
still there today.

Indian HISTORY
DANDI MARCH
The march on foot undertaken by Gandhi and seventy-eight Congress
volunteers was the most significant event in the history of the breach of salt
law in our country.
It was commenced in accordance with a fixed schedule to be carried on by them during
the long journey ending at Dandi. Undoubtedly, it was a disciplined band of nonviolent
satyagrahis who were to present a new model of satyagraha which later on converted
into a bigger movement at all-India level.
62
The ‘salt satyagraha’ Gandhi undertook to protest the salt tax imposed by the British.
Mahatma Gandhi along with his followers, walked from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi,
Gujarat to make salt, large numbers of Indians following him of their own accord.
WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2015

On 12 March 1930 at 6-10 A.M. Gandhi came out
of his room, calm and composed, accompanied by
Prabhashankar Patani, Mahadev Desai and Pyarelal,
his secretary. He offered prayers, looked at his watch
and exactly at 6.30 A.M. commenced his march with
seventy-eight volunteers1 With his usual gentle
smile, betokening his unifying faith in the justice of
the cause he was pursuing and in the success of the
great campaign he had embarked upon, he headed the
procession with quick and unfaltering steps.
‘Like the historic march of Ram Chandra to Lanka,
the march of Dandi would be memorable’ exclaimed
Motilal Nehru in a message. P.C. Ray called it the
‘exodus of Israelites under Moses.’2 Jawaharlal
Nehru called Gandhi, ‘.... the pilgrim on his quest of
truth, quiet, peaceful, determined and fearless who
would continue that quiet pilgrimage regardless
of consequences.’3 The satyagrahis were to face a
fatiguing journey through heat and dust of the Kheda
villages. Thousands of men, women and children
accompanied the marching column for a few miles
and thousands lined the route and showered flowers,
coins, currency notes and kum kum at the satyagrahis4
Following the commencement of his epic Dandi
March, a tremendous wave of enthusiasm swept over
the entire country. The historic day was celebrated
all over India. Calcutta woke that morning amidst
sounds of conch shells and shouts of ‘Gandhiji ki Jai’.
At a conference of the Congress leaders of Bengal a
decision was taken to appoint immediately an ad hoc
council to be called the Bengal Civil Disobedience
Council, with the object of carrying out the programme
outlined by Gandhiji. J.M. Sen Gupta appealed to all
men and women of the province to enroll themselves
as volunteers for the Civil Disobedience Movement.
He said, ‘Bengal is on trial. She had always been in
the vanguard of the country’s battle for freedom and
cannot lag behind. Let us plunge head-long in the fight
and regain the rights which are ours.’5
In Bombay, a public meeting was held under the
presidentship of K.F. Nariman. He exhorted the
audience to get ready for the fight. The ‘War Council’
of the Bombay Provincial Congress Committee
announced a list of ‘iron-sides’ to join the first
detachment of volunteers from the town6
In Madras, at a public meeting at Tilak Ghat, prayers
were offered for the success of Civil Disobedience
campaign by the Madras District Congress Committee,
Andhra Congress Committee, the Triplicate Congress
Sabha and the political section of the Youth League.
The meeting reiterated India’s resolve to achieve
Swaraj by nonviolent means under Gandhi’s leadership
by following his path.’7

Indian HISTORY
In Lahore, a band of Congress volunteers paraded the
streets and raised shouts of ‘Mahatma Gandhi Ki Jai’.
In a mammoth meeting of the citizens of the town, held
under the auspices of the City Congress Committee,
Maulana Abdul Qadir, in opening the proceedings,
said, ‘The 12th of March would be a red letter day and
it would figure in letters of gold in the future history
of India’8 He hoped that the people of India, from that
day onward would give practical demonstration of
their determination to win freedom. He believed that
as soon as the people of the Punjab would receive the
news of Gandhi’s arrest, they would suspend their
business and work out the plan of the movement9
In Peshawar, the ‘Satyagraha Day’ was observed by
taking out a procession and holding a public meeting.
Resolutions reiterating the
pledge of independence and
wishing Godspeed to the soldiers
of freedom and congratulating
Vallabhbhai Patel on his
imprisonment were unanimously
passed. Besides, a large number
of volunteers were enlisted for
the satyagraha10
Civil Disobedience Day was
celebrated in Delhi in a meeting
attended by about 10,000
persons, including a large number
of ladies. Devdas Gandhi gave the
detailed history of the salt tax and
called it the most ‘barbarous’ tax
which effected the poor classes,
and pleaded for its abolition
immediately. He also exhorted
the people to observe complete
but peaceful hartal if Mahatma
Gandhi was arrested. 11
Allahabad, the nerve centre of
U. P. politics, witnessed scenes
of enthusiasm in connection with the celebration
of the commencement of the satyagraha campaign.
Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the national flag over
the building occupied by the offices of the A.I.C.C.,
the City Congress Committee and the All-India
Spinners’ Association, U.P. branch. A large gathering
participated in the ceremony. While addressing the
audience, Nehru said that the pledge of satyagraha
laid stress on nonviolence which was the very basis
of the Civil Disobedience campaign. He warned that
only those who were convinced of the efficacy of that
method either as a creed or as a policy in the present
circumstances of the country, should take the pledge.
He opined that nonviolence was not a convenient
shelter either for cowards or for those who wanted
WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2015
to prepare for violence. He asked the non-believers in
nonviolence to withdraw from the movement to give
others a chance12
In Ahmedabad, a meeting of the Youth League was
held in which a resolution was passed empowering the
secretaries to enlist volunteers for Civil Disobedience
Movement. About twenty-five names were enlisted on
the spot including two secretaries and Miss Mridula
Ambalal, daughter of a local mill-magnate13
The ‘Dandi March Day’ was observed in Nagpur by
hoisting the national flag. A procession passed through
the main bazaars of the town, and, thereafter, a public
meeting was also held. Gandhi’s letter to the Viceroy
was read out and explained to the audience. An appeal
for the enlistment of volunteers
was also made. While exhorting
the people to give the moment
their whole-hearted support M.V.
Abhyankar said, ‘I shall perish in
the struggle for Independence
or live to enjoy freedom after its
achievement.’14
Similar celebrations were held all
over the country and considerable
enthusiasm was aroused with
people for participating in the
Civil Disobedience Movement.
For the first time, a new spirit
for the attainment of Swaraj—
full and complete—was found
bubbling everywhere. The
Viceroy informed the Secretary
of State on 13 March 1930, ‘Most
of my thought at the moment is
concentrated upon Gandhi. I wish
I felt sure what the right way to
deal with him is.’15
The same day Gandhi and his
satyagrahis reached a small village, Aslali, where
they were received well by the villagers. Gandhi
emphasised the importance of salt and criticised the
salt tax levied by the government. He stated, ‘The
poor destitute villagers do not have the strength
to get this tax repealed. We want to develop this
strength... We should make a resolve that we shall
prepare salt, eat it, sell it to the people and, while
doing so, court imprisonment, if necessary. If, out of
Gujarat’s Population of 90 lakhs, we leave out women
and children, and the remaining 30 lakhs get ready to
violate the salt tax, the Government does not have
enough accommodation in jails to house so many
people.’16

Next day, Gandhi, who was apprehensive of his arrest,
informed Jawaharlal Nehru, ‘The news given to me
of my impending arrest was said to be absolutely
authentic. But we have reached the second stage. We
take the third tonight’17
The second halt of the Dandi marchers was at Bareja,
a village with a Population of 2,500. He emphasised
the importance of khadi, its production and use by
the villagers. ‘Khadi is the foundation of our freedom
struggle.... I request you to renounce luxuries and buy
khadi from this heap before you’.
‘We have come forward to win our freedom from
this tyrannical and oppressive Government. If we
cannot put our own house in order in an organized
manner, how shall we run the country’s Government?
I ask you, therefore,
to learn order and
organization.... This
struggle against the
Government on which
we have embarked is
not going to reach its
conclusion with five,
or twenty-five, or even
millions of men getting
killed. We have to look
after other things also
simultaneously.’18
As Gandhi entered
the Kheda district,
memories—some
sweet, some bitter—
filled his mind. It was
while working in
this district that he
became one with the
lives of people. He
had seen nearly all the
villages of the district
and had covered many
of them on foot. He stated, ‘I have come to Navagam in
the middle of a battle... The Government found some
pretext or other to arrest Vallabhbhai... Pressure was
brought to hear on the Magistrate some how to serve
a notice on Sardar and he was arrested. What could a
poor Magistrate do where the entire atmosphere is
vitiated?19
When some headmen and matadars of Kheda district
submitted their resignations as a protest against the
oppressive policy of the government, Gandhi advised
them, ‘Remember that in the resignations you have
handed in, I see God’s hand. The Kheda District has
made an auspicious beginning.’20
At Vasana, where the villagers had gathered to accord
reception to the marchers and listen to their leader,
Gandhi explained that abolition of the salt-tax or
remission of some taxes would not mean swaraj for
them. Winning of swaraj was not going to be so easy as
they might think. It was only a way to it and by following
it they would reach the goal of freedom. He had a word
of praise for the headmen of Navagam, Vavdi, Agam,
Mahelaj and other villages who had tendered their
resignations. ‘Why should they stick to Headmanship
for the mere five rupees a month that the government
pays them? If the Collector summons a Headman, let
him say, ‘Give us back our Sardar. Grant us a remission
in land revenue.’21
At Nadiad, a town with a population of thirty-one
thousand, Gandhi reminded the people, ‘Bound by
the chains of slavery, we are being crushed at present
and we want to shake
them off.’ He wished all
government servants
to give up their jobs. A
government job gave
them the power to
tyrannize over others.
Finally, be asked them
to enlist themselves
as volunteers. And
as soon as he got
behind the bars or as
soon as the All-India
Congress Committee
gave a call, they should
come forward to offer
themselves for being
jailed. ‘Then alone
shall I believe that
Nadiad has made its
contribution to our
struggle’22
In a letter to
Jayaprakash Narayan
which Gandhi wrote
from Anand on 17 March, he explained, ‘No where
else have I observed such zeal for sacrifice as has
been displayed by the Ashram women. At present the
women are to a great extent managing the internal
affairs of the Ashram. The chance of acquiring such
experience will never be repeated. I would therefore
advise you to send Prabhavati there. After my arrest
the Ashram women too will court imprisonment. I
think Prabhavati should join them. She is worthy in
every respect.’23
At Anand, an educational centre of Patidars, Gandhi
demanded, ‘In your hands lies the honour of the
Patidars of Charotar. You are like salt in the sea of
Patidars. If the salt loses its savour, wherewith shall
it be salted? Salt is more sapid than either sugar or

juggery. The latter may even cause jaundice, whereas
a pinch of salt adds flavour to the meal. If Anand gives
up its savour of courage and such other virtues which
have been attributed to the Patidars are not displayed
in Anand at this juncture, where else can one see
them?.’24
The students’ services to the national cause were
also applauded. They were advised to suspend their
studies for as long as this struggle continued. Formerly,
Gandhi had asked his students to leave schools and to
set up national schools25 But this time he asked them
to leave schools and come out on the ‘battle-field’
and become ‘mendicants’ for the sake of the country.
But he did not ask them to give up their studies for
good, but only to give up book-learning so long as the
struggle lasted26
At Borsad, the reception of Gandhi and his satyagrahis
was celebrated with the immediate announcement of
the resignations of headmen, matadars and ravanias
of twenty villages of the taluka. Over one hundred
village officers of twenty-five villages submitted their
resignations27 The government sources commented,
‘Gandhi’s attention is directed on two points i.e.
resignations of patels and enrolling volunteers. Under
his instructions local workers are trying to get more
resignations under the threat of social boycott.’28
They were warmly received by the village folk. They
were keen to listen to Gandhi’s discourse. He explained
to them, ‘Our patience has been severely tried. We
must free ourselves from the yoke of this Government
and we are prepared to undergo any hardships that
we may have to suffer in order to secure swaraj. It is
our duty as well as our right to secure swraj.’29
‘Today we are defying the salt law. Tomorrow we shall
have to consign other laws to the waste-paper basket.
Doing so we shall practise such severe non-cooperation
that finally it will not be possible for the administration
to be carried on at all. Let the Government then, to
carry on its rule, use guns against us, send us to prison,
hang us. But how many can be given such punishment?
Try and calculate how much time it will take a lakh of
Britishers to hang thirty crores of persons.’30
Gandhi once again exhorted the students to leave their
institutions and join the struggle for independence.
He desired that all students studying in the local high
school and who were above the age of fifteen, and all
teachers too, should enroll themselves. He pleaded
that wherever revolutions had taken place, that is, in
Japan, China, Egypt, Ireland and in England, students
and teachers had played a prominent role. In Europe,
war broke out on 4 August 1914, and when Gandhi
reached England on the 6th of the same month, he
WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2015
found that students had left colleges and marched out
with arms31
Gandhi further explained that his prostrating himself
on the ground for the sake of removing the hardships
of crores of people was of no avail. He had spared no
efforts in drafting appeals.
He became a revolutionary when politeness and
persuasion proved infructious. He indeed found peace
in describing himself as a revolutionary and appealed
that in a revolution of that nature which was calm,
peaceful and truthful, people should get themselves
enrolled regardless of the religious faith to which
they belonged. He was confident that if they enlisted
themselves with sincerity and if they could keep up
their courage, the salt tax would have been abolished,
this administration would have come to an end and all
the hardships enumerated in the letter to the Viceroy
as well as those which had not been enumerated
would have to cease.
On 19 March, the party of satyagrahis reached
Ras Taluka where Sardar Patel was arrested and
sentenced to prison and in which he had carried on
such a vigorous struggle in 1924 that the Government
had finally to admit its ‘error and mete out justice that
should not have required a struggle. It is as if Sardar
was sentenced to prison as a reward for having served
you’32
During the short stay of Gandhi, some of the headmen
and matadars had handed in their resignations. But
Gandhi expressed unhappiness on the small number
of resignations at Ras. In fact, the headman, talati and
revania were the representatives of the government
in the villages and it was through these persons that
the latter carried on its administration. A village which
was afraid of a handful of men and continued to act in a
manner contrary to its own wishes, neither enhanced
the prestige of the headman, the talati or the revania
nor that of the villagers themselves. Sardar Patel had
been making great effort to end this indignity33
Gandhi praised the services rendered by Sardar
Patel. He also apprised the villagers of his mission.
He explained ‘Sardar neither made speeches nor
came here to foment trouble. Neither the Magistrate
nor you had acted any sort of trouble. The task for
which Sardar had approached you was not a secret
to anyone. A satyagrahi has no secrets..... What
secret can a satyagrahi like Sardar have?’ He had
come there to clear the way for Gandhi and he had
not come there to convey the message regarding
salt. Gandhi was at a loss to know about the offence
committed by Sardar Patel and wondered that a man
of his stature should have been awarded a sentence

of three months’ jail and labeled it a matter of shame
to the Sardar and to the government. Gandhi wished
that a person like Sardar Patel should be sentenced
to a term of seven years’ imprisonment or be exiled.
‘It would not befit the Government to sentence me to
three months’ imprisonment. Exile for life or hanging
would be a punishment fit for a person like me. I am
guilty of sedition. It is my dharma to commit sedition
against the Government. I am teaching this dharma
to the people. A regime under which tyranny is being
perpetrated, under which the rich and the poor are
made to pay the same amount of tax on an item like
salt, under which exorbitant sums are being spent
on watchmen, the police and the army, under which
the highest executive receives a salary which is five
thousand times the income of the cultivator, under
which an annual revenue of 25 crores of rupees is
derived from narcotics and liquor, under which foreign
cloth of the value of Rs. 60 cores is imported every
year, and under which crores of persons continue to
remain unemployed, it is one’s dharma to rise against
and destroy such a regime, to pray that fire may
consume its policies34
Meanwhile, the A.I.C.C. held a meeting on the banks
of the Sabarmati on 20 March. Besides the president
Jawaharlal Nehru, it was attended by other prominent
leaders like Maulana Azad, Sarojini Naidu, P.D.
Tandon, Abbas Tyabji, Darbar Gopaldas, J.B. Kripalani,
N.C. Kalelkar, Kasturba Gandhi, Ansuyabehn and
Mrs. Ambalal35 Many members excused themselves
from attendance on the plea that they were busy
with preparations for Civil Disobedience Movement,
in their own areas36 The leaders met under a sense
of ‘heavy’ responsibility and the result was foregone
conclusion.
The Government of India felt much concern over the
resolution of Congress. The Home Member suggested,
‘it is essential that we should able to give timely warning
owing to local Governments’40 He also suggested that
the correspondence of the members of the Working
Committee; the correspondence of the head office of
the Congress and of all provincial Congress offices and
provincial Congress Presidents and of any particular
individual whose correspondence in local government
concerned might regard as likely to yield ‘specially
important’ information, should be censured.41
It was barely ten days ago that Gandhi had begun his
historic march and the actual campaign was yet to be
started. The whole country was already in a state of
fervour for a parallel to which one might recollect the
‘hottest days’ of the Non-Cooperation Movement of
1920-22. People in the provinces were planning to
start the movement, and in some cases preliminary
steps had already been initiated. In Bengal, for instance,
which had for the moment, lost both its outstanding
leaders, a ‘War Council’ had been formed. In the
United Provinces, the Provincial Congress Committee
had started a satyagraha committee consisting of
prominent leaders, including the President of the
Congress himself. Judging from the signs, the whole
country appeared to be in the throes of an agitation of
unprecedented magnitude.
By its principal resolution, the A.I.C.C. confirmed
the Working Committee’s resolution authorising
Gandhi to launch Civil Disobedience Movement. It
laid down the conditions under which the various
provinces should start satyagraha on a mass scale37
The Provincial Congress Committees were given
wide discretion about the manner, the form and the
place of Civil Disobedience. It was open to them, to
prepare their provinces for any form of satyagraha,
best suited to them. But it was clearly laid down
that the salt satyagraha should be undertaken in
every province when it was possible. Other forms
of satyagraha might be prepared for, but should be
reserved for the second stage of the campaign38 In
case Gandhi was arrested, the Provincial Congress
Committees should immediately determine to start
Civil Disobedience, and if he was not arrested, they
should await instructions which he might issue on
reaching his destination. He would give the necessary
signal and the Provincial Congress Committees would
be informed immediately through the A.I.C.C. Office39

Indian VAASTU CORNER
Vastu Shastra the science of
perfect living
Vastu Shastra is an inquisitive science of architecture which encapsulates the forces
that act upon a given space through the flow of positive energy. Vastu refers to ‘abode’
or mansion and Shastra or Vidya means science or knowledge. Vastu Vidya is the sacred
holistic science pertaining to designing and building of houses. The principles of Vastu have
been derived from Sthapathya Veda, one of the ancient sacred books in Hinduism.
Vastu is a complete understanding of direction,
geography, topography, environment and
physics. Vastu is not a religion, it’s a science of
setting the things correctly and balance the
five elements that is Earth, fire, water, space,
and air to have the maximum benefit out of
life. Vastu dosh can be corrected through the
changes in the rooms, through the interiors of
the house, by changing the placements, by using
regulators or using some charged objects. Vastu
Shastra unifies the science, art, astronomy and
astrology, it can also be said as an ancient mystic
science for designing and building. Vastu Shastra
is an ancient building science which covers the
philosophy and theory of Architectural works
to construct any building.
Vastushastra is based on various natural
energies, which are available free cost in the
atmosphere. Solar Energy from Sun, Lunar
Energy from Moon, Earth Energy, Sky Energy,
Electric Energy, Magnetic Energy, Thermal
Energy, Wind Energy, Light Energy and Cosmic
Energy. Utilization of these energies gives
pleasure, peace, prosperity, money, etc in our
life. There are three forces in action to create
harmony. Wind, water and fire or, vaayu, jal and
Agni. If these forces are kept in their appropriate
places, then there will be no disturbance.
Now-a-days, people live in flats rather than
independent houses. While purchasing a flat
or apartment some basic things are to be
considered to make things going right. Vastu
recommends some essential tips regarding the
construction and direction of flat or apartment.
There are some permissible directions in which
mirror can be placed without a hitch to avoid
any mishappenings in the relationships and
behaviour. Placement of the mirror should be in
accordance with Vastu norms to reap the best
benefits. Below are some of the tings you have
to consider while purchasing a flat.

naturally through bhakti or exclusive loving devotion
unto the Supreme Lord Krishna as authorised in the
Vedic scriptures. By this determined conviction, that
nothing else is required or necessary other than
totally surrendering to Him and the Supreme Lord
Himself personally promises moksa or liberation to
such devotees.
Sarva-dharma parityagya means renouncing
all conceptions of what one thinks or imagines
religiosity to be. This does not mean to renounce
the righteousness for righteousness. All jivas
or embodied beings are always attuned and in
harmony with the Supreme Lord. Ultimate goal
of all religious and spiritual conceptions is to be
communion with the Supreme Lord Krishna. One
must have realisation of their atma or immortal soul
within the ethenic heart. After surrendering and
taking exclusive refuge in Him alone, one is blessed
by the Supreme Lord and by His grace, He, Himself
will accomplish this for His devotee.
Knowing the absolute paramount position of the
Supreme Lord Krishna as the creator, maintainer,
protector and sustainer of all creation, one who is
spiritually intelligent have to incessantly attune
themselves in adoring Him with bhakti or exclusive
loving devotion.
Lord Sri Krishna has described various kinds of
knowledge, processes of religion, knowledge of the
Supreme Brahman, knowledge of the Supersoul,
knowledge of the different types of orders and
statuses of social life, knowledge of the renounced
order of life, knowledge of non-attachment, sense
and mind control, meditation, etc through different
chapters. There is no need of strenuous effort to
free oneself from sinful reactions, instead one
should unhesitatingly accept Krsna as the supreme
savior of all living entities. With faith and love, one
should surrender unto Him. And then, one should
be confident that in all circumstances Krsna will
protect him from all difficulties.
Simply by surrendering unto Krsna, one can make
all progress at once and be freed from all sinful
reaction. This is what Lord Sri Krishna says - aham
tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami ma sucah - I
shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.

Analysis
The first half of the movie has been highly entertaining right from the first
scene. The movie has been racy and engaging. The film brings out lot of
question however the audience ends up getting wrong answers. On the
whole, the complete first half has been highly impressive.
The second half too carries the same momentum but it dips at times. When
you feel that the movie is losing its grip, the film gains the momentum back.
An emotional and well written climax makes the film a highly satisfied film
to watch this weekend.
Final Word
Tanu Weds Manu Returns is
the movie which one should not
miss this weekend. A package of
entertainment A real desi rom com.

Exclusive Interview
“MR. BACHCHAN AND
I HAVE THIS UNSAID
UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN US”
On the day of its release, Deepika Padukone talks about Piku and
working with Amitabh Bachchan again.
84
Deepika

WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2015
Padukone
How was the shooting
experience in Kolkata.
Did you explore the city?
I hadn’t explored Kolkata
before, the way I did
during the shooting of
Piku. It was perfect to
explore the culture with
Bengalis. Whether it’s
Amitji (Bachchan), who
has a family connection
(wife Jaya Bachchan is a
Bengali) or whether it’s
Shoojitda who himself
is a Bengali. A lot of
technicians on the film
are also Bengalis. A lot
of my Kolkata darshan
happened during the film.
I was familiar with the city
because I had been there
in my ninth standard with
my friends. But this time I
toured the city. We were
there for a month. We
visited a beautiful ghat
and even Satyajit Ray’s
house. We hogged on a
lot of good food. What
is Kolkata without food?
The chaat is so different
there. The momos are
delicious because of the
North-Eastern influence.
Chinese food is also good
and of course, the sweets.
When I went back to
Kolkata for Tamasha, I
could tell people, “Come,
I’ll show you the city.” I’m
fortunate my profession
allows me access to
certain places, which as
a tourist I wouldn’t have
been able to visit. People
open doors to us because
they understand the
impact of cinema.
How was it working with
Amitabh Bachchan in
Piku?
I’ve worked with him
twice now. I’ve also

evolved as a person and
understood the craft
better than say a couple
of years ago. With him
there’s a certain ease
now. We have this
unsaid understanding
between us. There was
this look that we found
in each other’s eyes that
helped us during the
shoot. We would look
at each other’s eyes
and know whether the
other person is ready to
shoot. The way we were
shooting the film, we
had to know the scene
inside out to perform it.
The camera would roll
and we had to knock off
the entire scene. Every
day before the shot was
called, we looked at each
other and knew whether
we were ready or not. If
I wasn’t ready, he’d ask
Shoojit to do one more
rehearsal. Likewise, if I
felt that he wanted to
rehearse more, I’d ask
Shoojit to shoot the
next day. We found our
timing and connection as
actors. It was so organic
and unsaid.
What do you think
makes him the greatest
Indian actor?
He’s passionate about
everything. Even after
being around for so
many years, he’s still at
it. And like they say, God
is in the details. He’s
so meticulous about
everything. Whether it’s
his rehearsals or the way
he’s dressed or the way
his van is kept clean, there
is a system to everything.
He’s a true perfectionist.
The drive and hunger is
amazing. After working
for 40 years, he can say
don’t tell me what to do
because I know it all.
But that hunger to learn
is there. After watching
Finding Fanny he told
me it was amazing that I
had the guts to do it and
there was so much to
learn. He still feels that
there’s so much to learn
and that’s fantastic.
Working with
Amitji is a
new take
in my career. It was
exciting, interesting
and I am fortunate
enough to work with
such a down to earth
actor. Irrfan has been
supportive and caring
enough during the
shoot of the movie.
Shoojit is the man with
lot of talents and he
already made himself
in the big league of
directors.

ARIES
CANCER
You want to travel this
month of June, go visit
some friends in another
city, go to the beach, and
visit new cities that are
not so far. You take a sister
or some friends to go
with you. The more, the
merrier. Be careful if you
are the driver, you can be
too impetuous so avoid
any risk on the road. You
are in a beautiful period
for love, meeting a new
partner is an absolute
possibility, so stay open
to any invitation, share
your interests with new
people, and among them,
who knows, you could
meet love. Don’t stay in
the same environment,
move, be active, Uranus
encourages you to get out
of your routine.t
GEMINI
TAURUS
You are focused on money:
a raise motivates you
to save money. Or you
make projects that need
more money than your
regular budget can allow.
You think about selling
stuff on EBay, or saving
on expenses that are not
mandatory. You will be
super smart at that, your
projections for the future
sound right and you will
get rewards. Your parents
are also happy to help.
Some Taurus are about
to move out, they found
the home of their dreams,
Venus and Jupiter help
them to be lucky in that
sector of their life. If you
are in a couple, you enjoy
quiet evenings together.
No need for crazy night.
You may feel tired, lacking energy and needing
rest. Listen to your body and wait for the 26th of
June when Mars enters in Cancer where it will
change completely. You will be so dynamic that
you will be exhausting for your partner. All of a
sudden you will want to go out and dance, do all
the things you could not do before. You are upset
at work because some attitudes of coworkers
don’t agree with your values and code. You are
honest and want to accomplish hard tasks with
discipline, and when people don’t do that, you
get angry. Let it go, mind you own business and
be at peace.
LEO
Venus enters in Leo on the 6th of
June for a few month, and the length
of that stay is not so common. So
enjoy the presence of that planet in
your sign, it helps you find love and
beauty, it brings joy and helps you to
be happy with yourself and someone
else. Jupiter is in Leo so it is even
better for you. Two planets of luck in
your sign bring for sure lots of gifts
from the universe.You believe in your
luck and potential and you are right,
self-confidence bring good events
and it is a powerful tool. You will
closer to your parents, on the second
half of June.
Mercury is in Gemini the whole month and it makes you very
active intellectually and also very creative. Ideas just flow out
of your brain without effort, it is hard to keep up with you. It
is also the month of your birthday and you may celebrate it
several times, with your parents, with your friends, at work,
you have many opportunities to celebrate and you are always
ready to celebrate. Love is good if you are in a relationship,
no drama, respect, dialogue, sense of humor. Single are like
butterflies, their heart does not stop to thump, expect it is
never for the same person.

VIRGO
SAGITTARIUS
Career is at the top of your priorities in June. You may be
going through a period of tests, exams, or interviews and it is
a good time for you. At the end, you will have some choices
and different options, school or work, you will decide what you
want. You have to know that Jupiter will enter in your sign in
August and you will then enter in a very lucky period of your
life. So be positive and don’t play things at a low level, take
some risk and dare go to a higher level than what you think.
Love is not what you want right now, if you are single, you are
happy to be. Couples are doing ok, just very busy.
SCORPIO
Saturn comes back in Scorpio for
a last visit that will last 3 months.
It will be time to fix the last
things you did not finish those
last 2 years. You may want to give
another try to a relationship and
finally realize that it does not
work and it will be time to let go
forever. or you decide to change
^your professional orientation
and go for a proper training. Or
you finally settle for good in your
apartment, emptying the last
boxes. Or you get rid of stuff from
your childhood, you are an adult
now. Single may meet love at
work, it may be complicated but
interesting.
LIBRA
Lilith comes back and forth
in your sign, and it changes
your vision of life. Usually
you can be pretty optimistic
and positive, you alternate
moments of realism and
criticisms with you natural
attitude. You may realize that
there are some things your
partner does that are really
irritating you. And you want
him to change. You prepare a
nice trip or vacation and you
organize the itinerary, the
reservations, you don’t count
on anybody else. At work you
are encouraging the team
around you, and you know
exactly who is best at what, so
you push each of them to do
what they excel at.
Very good month of June for the
Sagittarius, active and running like you
like it. You may have several trips in that
month and you love that. Love is happy
and easy, you are close and intense but at
the same time not clingy to one another.
Sag’ love their independence. At work you
are lucky, a proposition that you did not
expect makes you happy but confused. Is
it something you should completely get
into or add another secondary activity?
You will play it safe financially. You want
to keep a good quality of life financially
even if you have to work more. And you
have a good energy anyway.
CAPRICORN
In June you want to change a lot
of things in your life and you think
about it. The way you eat, where you
live, how you interact with the other
gender, what you expect from life
and from friends and also from love
of course. You are divided between a
need for commitment and grounding,
and a desire of independence and
exploration. Even the slightest change
can bring some satisfaction, stop
smoking, doing gym every other day,
that can be enough to change your
mood. You talk a lot with your sweetie
wanting to know what is going on in
his or her mind, you hate mysteries or
silence, and you want truth.
AQUARIUS
PISCES
Enter all of the sweepstakes and contests that you can on
the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and sign up for free memberships,
call in old debts, clip coupons - you deserve everything
that comes your way, Aquarius dear, and you shouldn’t
have to work for it! You’re a true inspiration to others
on the 7th and 8th, especially young children. When you
have the chance to be a mentor and shape young minds,
you step up to the challenge big time. There’s some
bizarre stuff happening on the 13th and 14th, mostly
involving older relatives or someone from your past.
Before you dismiss something as ‘unbelievable,’ look at
all the facts. Stranger things have happened! Haven’t
they?! You’re a great negotiator on the 25th and 26th,
and your arguments are very balanced.
You will be very close to your family this month, ready
to give some weekends to celebrate some anniversary
or birthday, or an engagement party for your sister or
brother. You are happy to share those bright moments.
If your sweetie wants to join, fine. If he or she does
not want to come, you will still go, no question of
giving up those events. At work, you are succeeding at
everything you do; results are impressive, due to hard
work, luck and good circumstances. If you are still a
student, the return of Saturn in the sector of studies
will help you to accomplish what you expect.
