Bharata, Bhārata, Bharatā, Bharat ~ That is India

||Why Bhārata instead of India|| There is a 2200 years old “Hātigumphā Inscription” found in the ‘Udayagiri Hills’, near Bhubaneshwar in Odisha. This is a very special inscription, as it contains the earliest recorded mention of the word “Bhāratavarṣa” (Prakritized as – ‘Bhāratavasa’). Line number 10 of this inscription mentions “Bharatavarsha” (translation published by Jayaswal and Banerji in…

Rakshabandhan – The Festival of Protection and Trust

– Dr. Shruchi Singh Rakshabandhan (Raksha – Protection, Bandhan – Bondage, Relationship) is famously defined as the festival of brother and sister, though it is not limited to these two alone. In a world where fancy rākhīs have established their roots deeply, to know the importance of Rakshabandhan, we need to focus on Rakshasutra (sutra – thread), the thread of protection. This thread is…

Bharatvarsha-Asal Mula Hindu. Pernah Dengar?

Ketika bicara agana Hindu dalam benak kita pasti agama yang lahir di India. Atupun, agama yang mayoritas dianut oleh masyrakat India serta Bali di Indonesia. Dan selama ini kita hanya tahu bahwa Agama Hindu itu berasal dari India saja, namun ada satu kisah yang mengungkap hal lain dari Agama Hindu itu sendiri. Pernah nggak dalam pikiran kita bertanya, dari mana asalnya agama Hindu itu…

Smriti [Phase 1]

Prologue/intro

C H A P T E R - 1

It was a hot summer afternoon. A young girl no older than sixteen walked furiously towards the banks of the river Narmada to soothe herself from the rays of the scorching sun. Her blue skirt fluttered in the light breeze, which blew now and then around the river. Messy wisps of hair stuck to her sweaty forehead, which she desperately tried to remove. Sweat trickled down from her neck to the blouse she wore, and with each sweat droplet that drenched her blouse, her steps turned hastier.

"Why can't people visit fairs in the evenings? Crowd the market area when the sun is down! What's so good about enjoying fairs and markets in hot summer afternoons where everyone sticks to one another?" The girl talked to herself. "What was Maa telling me in the morning? 'It's going to be crowded in the evening. Better go in the afternoon.' What on earth was that crowd there?" She picked a nearby pebble and flung it towards the Narmada.

Her anger seemed to cool down as she neared the river bed. Kneeling on the rocky, gravelly surface, she scooped some water in her hands and splashed it on her face, saying, "Oh, Narmada! Thank you for providing me with your cool and refreshing water." After thanking the river, she sat on one of the large rocks near the river and dipped her feet into the water.

Narmada, also called Reva, one of the holiest rivers to flow in Bharatvarsha, flew through the kingdom of Avanti. Her water was revered by Rishi Markandeya, and her banks narrated stories of learned men earning spiritual enlightenment. This river, though famous for learned men and sages, also helped trade to flourish on the lands she flew through. It connected Avanti to the kingdoms on the western coast, thus establishing strong trade relations that profited Avanti immensely.

Meanwhile, the young girl, after refreshing herself by the river shifted her attention to the activities on the opposite side of the river bank. A few local women were drawing water in their pots. Three boats were tied together to a nearby tree, and a fishnet lay aside them. A group of children played with mud balls and sticks on the soil. She picked up a pebble and was about to throw it in the river when a voice stopped her.

"Umm... I would appreciate it if you would enjoy the scenic view rather than throwing pebbles in the river. The splashing sound distracts me from my work."

The girl swiftly turned to her right and saw a young boy standing with a paintbrush in his hand. A canvas stood next to him, and some paint bottles were neatly placed on the ground. She got up and walked towards the boy.

"You're a painter, I see. What are you painting?" she asked and took a peep at the canvas. It contained a beautiful painting of the Narmada river. Blue-green hues depicted the calm waters of the holy river and the dense trees that grew beside the river. Strokes of yellow, orange and red beautifully showed the sun and the afternoon sky.

"This is so... beautiful. These colours have such a calming effect on the eyes. You have wonderfully captured the serenity of Narmada into this painting." The girl looked at the painting longingly. "This painting makes me want to lose myself into these colours."

Her eyes drifted towards the river once again, and she sighed. The boy had done a marvellous job of painting the river, its banks and the sky. He had also painted the women and children she had seen on the opposite bank, which added more life to the painting.

The young painter blushed a little at the praise he received from the girl. Scratching the back of his neck, he replied, "Thank you so much...?" He trailed off and looked at her in question, not knowing what to address her as. The girl hadn't introduced herself, nor had he.

Even the girl realized later that they hadn't introduced themselves to each other. "Well, call me Smriti. What's your name, painter boy?" She asked with a cheerful smile.

"Ekaksh."

Smriti whispered the boy's name to herself. Ekaksh was another name for Lord Shiva, too. She scanned the boy from top to bottom after he introduced himself, as she had been busy admiring the painting and hadn't looked at the boy closely.

Ekaksh looked as fresh and serene as the Narmada. He had a beautiful pair of brown eyes and curly lashes, which added more beauty to his eyes. Smriti was charmed by his eyes. Her eyes moved down to his lips that were light pink, similar to the colour of lotus petals.

He wore a plain white robe which was stained with paint. Even though his clothes had turned messy and crinkled, to Smriti, he looked angelic. She had seen many boys before him but had never seen one like him, someone who looked mystic, angelic, and innocent at the same time. His cheeks appeared slightly red, which amused Smriti. When she realized that his beautiful blush was her doing, she couldn't help but smile to herself.

The sound of the koel brought Smriti back to her surroundings. Clearing her throat, she asked Ekaksh, "So, where do you live, Ekaksh? I am new here. I came here with my family to visit my aunt and her family. They live in the fifth lane of Pushpabagha locality."

"Pushpabagha is not very far from my place. I live in the royal palace-"

"What?! Is that true? Do you really live in the royal palace? Near the Queen?" Smriti asked, her eyes wide in surprise and excitement. She scanned his appearance again. "You don't look like a prince, though. I have heard about the twins — one of them is named Rathish, isn't it? The other one, who was he? I have heard his name, but I cannot remember it now."

Ekaksh chuckled. "Looks like the younger twin is remembered by most females here. My friend would feel sad that his younger brother has more popularity than him."

Smriti gasped at him. Keeping her hands on her chest, she said, "Don't tell me that you are friends with the princes! And as for me, remembering Kumar Rathish, I overheard some of the local children speaking about him before I arrived here."

Ekaksh threw his head back in laughter. Folding his arms across his chest, he continued to look at Smriti and asked, "If I live in the palace, why won't I be friends with the princes? I have known them since we were children."

Smriti was shocked. She had never thought of him having any connections with the royal family. However, she had no wish to know about the princes but the queen, for she had been her idol since Smriti was thirteen.

"Well, forget the princes. You can tell me about those two later — tell me about the queen! Have you talked to her? I have heard so many great things about her. She has also earned a lot of respect in my homeland, in Kashi. My mother told me about the queen when I was thirteen, and she has been my inspiration ever since then."

There was a shine in Ekaksh's eyes. He had a proud smile over his lips and looked down to the ground. "You see, my mother works with the maharani in financial matters, and I have known her sons since we were kids, so I have daily interactions with her. The queen is a noble lady who has run the kingdom so efficiently after the king's demise," his voice turned slightly emotional at the mention of the late king, "and has earned the love and loyalty of the common folk and the courtiers."

He stared at the tree behind Smriti, his face all grim. "People can't accept women ruling them. They cannot tolerate women as leaders. It took some time for her to settle amidst the various rumours and conspiracies that had hatched after the king's death. I have seen it all. In royal life, sometimes the people whom we consider friends turn out to be the biggest foes.

Smriti stayed quiet and continued to look at the boy. His face no longer carried the sweet, bashful innocence but something painful, perhaps a painful realization? She wondered if this was also the reason why his eyes looked so deep as if they had seen a lot and known a lot? Realizing that it was rude to stare at someone, she looked down and counted the stones on the ground.

'Aha, fifteen stones!' She counted mentally.

"Counting stones isn't an interesting activity, Smriti. Do tell me something about yourself."

And just like that, the cheery self of the painter returned.

As I said, I would post Smriti here too. We are here with the first chapter this was written 2 years ago please excuse me for my mistakes. I will edit and rewrite some parts later for the book, but for now I want to write the full story. Thank you for reading

Also do tell me if you want to be added to the Smriti tag list plij. I need to save your ids in my notes for the taglists

[shut-up-rabert]

You won't mention about how the modi government removed a whole chapter about the Gujrat riots and the emergency chapter.You won't mention how they are trying to hide the fact that nathuram godse.

I don't have any problem with who is Muslim,Hindu or Christian. I hate people who have extremist religious beliefs.The modi government is trying to remove everything about Mughal kingdom.ok I know the fact they are glorified alot in our textbooks and we aren't taught about indian kingdom.I believe they should teach us both Abt Mughal and indian kingdom but I don't think so that is possible under the modi government bcuz they have extremist religious beliefs.Forgetting about the mughals won't do anygood bcus even they played important role of what India is today.

Hey, are you some sort of miracle child who skipped the entirety of seventh grade or something? Because this is what those books look like:

The first two chapters cluster all the indigenous empires together and basically breeze through them, the third one is more expanded, and the rest are just various parts of this mega chapter called “Mughal empire”. Nothing in those chapters is discussed indpendently of the Mughals. EVERYTHING these chapters talk about is basically how the *topic touched in the chapter* was under the mughal kings and their policies with a little preface that talked about how things were before.

Take the chapter about devotion for example. You would think that the bhakti movement saints like Goswami Tulsidas, Mirabai, Swami Surdas, Raskhan, Kabir would get their due because of the changes they brought in devotional traditions that we still follow to this day, but NOPE. Nope nope nope. All about how the great secular mughals combined Sufism with Vaishnavism or whatever. All about how muslim traditions intermingled with pre existing Hindu ones but little about how they were shaped.

(And this can be said for the parallel sixth grade chapter aswell. We get the stories of Mahatma Budhha and Lord Mahavira in detail but any reference to the previous 23 tirthankars, including Lord Rishabhnath are missing. And simply forget about any reference of Hinduism other than a few passing references.)

And bhakti chapter is actually the most mellow one of them since it has some indic elements. Every other chapter is basically chanting the Mughal name. And ridiculously enough, despite having six chapters to themselves after a measly 300 year rule, No references to how awful they were to the Hindus and the crimes against us, where millions of us perished, are referred to.

You would think that a dynasty that was being sucked off by the previous education ministers would have all its glory, including the tower of our skulls made by the patriarch, would receive its deserved place in the history but nope :P

No changes whatsoever are being brought to these chapters despite their unnecessary length in glorifying the most trivial things, and their erasure of the Hindu massacres where atleast a hundred million of us were put to death for our infidel indentity.

Only the chapters in higher secondary, where they go in even deeper lengths to glorify even more trivial things are being removed in favour of a chapters that will actually teach about the 5000+ years history of bharatvarsha that existed before the mughals and the invading arab,turkish empires, our indegenious history, our true culture and beliefs that has been rushed in favour of these 500 years.

Oh, and not to mention that the formation of Sikhism, the pinnacle of Rajput empires and the Rise of Marathas happened in the same time. How much did you learn about it?

Yes, Mughals are sadly, a part of our history. But so is the history that us the people of aryavart forged ourselves, when we were self ruling, and that history is ten times as big as “our” mughal history that sits cross legged on the biggest share of recognition in our history textbooks. 10% of our history being cut is unfair, but the fact that 90% of it is already cut to give 10% an even bigger chance to ✨Ѕℋℐℕℰ✨ is fair?

Exactly how much did Mughals do that two out of like 10-12 chapters about their minor rule (where one crucial side of them is being deliberately concealed), that too the ones that were repetative, being cut is a great loss to our knowledge?

You say that Modi government is religious extremist. How so? By doing exactly what everyone wanted? Cutting two unnecessary (and repeptative aswell) chapters in favour of those which will teach us about the larger part of history that is overshadowed by this tiny chunk of half-true history? How is that extremist?

If anything, BJP is actually favouring the leftist narrative by letting the propaganda-esque chapters in seventh grade be as they are, not even trying to bring the monstrosity of the Mughals to light despite the expectations people had. People should be thankful to him, he’s saving face of their beloved Aurangzeb and Shah Jahan and they have the gal to call him a rightwing extremist.

Oh, and while we are at it, might aswell suggest you to go ahead and search what “extreme” right looks like. The current BJP government is not a good example of that, although its lower party members (MLAs, MPs) and sister organisations like VHP and Bajrang Dal are. Compare those to the BJP, and you will see that the centre is anywhere but extreme. Maybe Centre leaning to Moderate about now, but definitely not extremist.

You’d expect such “politically aware” folks who rage out in your dms to know that, but honestly, if you cannot tell this basic difference despite having actual extremists in your country, exactly how much politically knowledgeable are you?

Not enough, because if you were you would see how biased those paragraphs were:

A one sided account of the riots where, even if they were not pointing fingers at Gujrat Government for something they had been acquitted of directly, they did have NHRC report which solely faulted the Government without any true basis. The paras targeted Modi precisely, and accused him of the issue in a manner that seemed to have an ulterior motive.

Who in their right mind would let people read a defamatory para about themselves when they have the power to stop it?

Same with the passage dealing with RSS; other organisations that were banned alongside, including some other religions’ organisations, don’t have a mention anywhere. Only the “Hindu extremists” are mentioned as if their were no other extremists at all (plot twist: there were).

And exactly how does BJP gain from removing emergency? That’s one of the greatest follies of their opponent, if anything they should be propagating it. Tbt, THIS one genuinely seems like an attempt to rationalise because this is a political loss BJP has done to self without any reason.

But you know what? I feel like there were better ways than simply cutting the deleted portions (except Mughals) aswell. Editing those could have helped aswell. So yes, I will go and say that those bits should not have been removed (Or should have been if they truly were repetative? I don’t know, I did not take humanities in +1) but edited.

Hiding history is an injustice to the past, whatever your reasons. So if this is not repetative or otherwise unserving to the syllabus as a whole, or just not fit to be taught with other portions, It should not have been removed, but altered. Yet, I see that currently the editing and rewriting of books is ongoing, so maybe there will be proper replacements in the future? If not, raising questions against that until a proper answer is given will be our own duty

Either ways, that is all from me. If there is anything more you wanna say, my DM is open for it all. Peace.✌🏼

India My Love 🇮🇳

There is a real Bharathvarsha

a complete India. Unless we

establish ourselves there, we can’t absorb its true living essence into our minds and hearts. Therefore I say, forgetting all else, discarding book-learning, the lure of prestige, and the temptation of odd profits, we must set sail for that very port, whether we drown or perish. No wonder I can never forget the true, complete image of Bharatvarsha.

According to Nostradamus, it is the world religious leader Satguru Rampal Ji Maharaj under whose chairmanship Bharatvarsha will rule the whole world. There will be only one knowledge (path of devotion) all over the world. There will be only one law, no one will be sad, there will be complete peace in the world.

Anandamatha Odia Book Bankima Chandra Chattopadhyaya

Anandamath is a Bengali fiction, written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and published in 1882. It is inspired by and set in the background of the Sannyasi Rebellion in the late 18th century, it is considered one of the most important novels in the history of Bengali and Indian literature.Its first English publication was titled The Abbey of Bliss.

It was written during the time when the Indian Freedom movement was gaining momentum. It was based on a period about a century before that when Bengal was hit by a major famine leading to millions of people dying. There was no food, people were willing to sell their children for one meal, some even reached the level of eating other humans.

During this time a Sanyasi rebellion took place where a group Sanyasis tried to fight the Mughals by building a force of their own. The group of Shakti worshippers visualizes the land of India or Bharatvarsha as a Mother, with all the ascetics fighting for freedom as her sons. They train to fight; they induct rich kings into the sect to access finance and they lead an extremely disciplined life.

Sensibilities and Bhāratvarsha - India’s New Parliament

Dr. Shruchi Singh May 28th, 2023 witnessed the inauguration of Bhāratvarsha, or India’s new parliament. I am referring to the nation with its both old and new names. But why? The reason is, this occasion brought together its various threads, both old and new, the recognition of the talent used in building the new parliament, the diversity with its plurality, and lastly, Dharma with its symbolic…

IS CHANTING A MANTRA A COMPLICATED PROCEDURE?

No. Just recite or chant the mantra.

The following story says about an ascetic mantra practitioner who received a gift of clairvoyance.

"I walked to the temple from where I had asked my driver to park the car.

After sitting there for a little while, I paid my obeisances again and went close to the staircase where I’d left my shoes.

“You have one brother and one sister,” a voice startled me from behind.

I turned around. There sat an ascetic clad in bright ochre. In this confined place, I certainly hadn’t seen him sitting there when I’d entered. Nothing about his appearance gave away his spiritual status. His eyes looked particularly bright on his very dark face that sported a yellow tilak on his forehead.

Rather than wearing my shoes, I walked to him and offered my respects.

“You are right,” I said humbly.

“You’ve lived in a foreign land for many years. You have come back to live in Bharatvarsha forever,” he continued, “and your sister has a son.”

I nodded.

“You want to be alone, you want to do sadhana*. You want nothing less than God himself.”

I kept quiet. Hoping for something more than this accurate rundown of the life I had lived so far.

“Six months from now, you’ll come here and do a sadhana. Here,” he said giving me a scribble, “chant this mantra before beginning your day. The fruit is ripe.”

I accepted his gift with a slight bow.

He went on to give me three precautions I must follow in my sadhana and told me that success was imminent. I didn’t doubt him but I didn’t believe him fully either. I didn’t think I would choose this place for any sadhana. I always fancied even remoter and more secluded spots to immerse myself in meditation. But the ascetic said that this place was actually ideal.

I tried to talk to him bit more about sadhana as nothing excites a sadhak more than meeting another genuine practitioner. But, he said he knew nothing about sadhanas as such and that all his life he simply chanted the mantra given to him by his guru and that he lived the life of an itinerant. He told me that he had already stayed at this place for three days and that he would be leaving that very day.

I offered him a ride but he declined. I tried to give him money but he wouldn’t take any. I had nothing else to offer at the time. My mother, a deeply religious woman, had always told me to never visit a saint empty-handed. After much pleading, he accepted my offering and I felt that my visit to this temple was complete. I took his blessings, put on my shoes and walked to my car."

*sadhana - a dedicated spiritual practice that includes mantra and rituals, done for some longer time.
