PRAVASI BHARATIYA DIVAS ~ NRI DAY 🇮🇳

Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (Non-Resident Indian Day) is a celebratory day observed (starting in 2001) on 9 January by the Republic of India to mark the contribution of the overseas Indian community towards the development of India. The day commemorates the return of Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa to Mumbai on 9 January 1915.

Established in 2000, it is sponsored by the Ministry of External Affairs of the Government of India and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), the Confederation of Indian Industries and the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region. A celebratory event is held on 7–9 January every other year in an Indian city: a forum for issues concerning the Indian Diaspora is organised and the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Awards are given.

The decision to celebrate Pravasi Bharatiya Divas was taken in accordance with recommendations of the High Level Committee (HLC) on the Indian Diaspora set up by government of India under the chairmanship of L. M. Singhvi. The then Prime Minister of India, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, received the report of the Committee at a public function at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi on 8 January 2002, and announced the “Pravasi Bharatiya Divas” (PBD) on 9 January 2002. The day was chosen to mark the return of Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa to India in 1915.

The occasion is marked by special programs to recognise the contributions of NRI/PIO individuals of exceptional merit, felicitate NRI/PIO individuals who have made exceptional contributions in their chosen field/profession (Pravasi Bharatiya Samman (NRI/PIO Award)) and provide a forum to discuss issues and concerns of people of the diaspora. The event has been organised every year since 2003, and is sponsored by the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs and the CII (Confederation of Indian Industry), initially sponsored by FICCI.

In 2006, the concept of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) was launched during the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention at Hyderabad on 9 January.

UNWORTHY TO WRITE

Ruelha's avatarInhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

I will no longer be posting,
Religious issues and somethings.
Nothing like that henceforth. 
Unless you hold a knife to my throat.
I'm just unworthy.
Although cleansed by mercy.
So no more spiritual posts.
I don't know anything real to boast.
I'm still learning...
myself, and discovering.
I don't know what I believe in.
I don't care if I lose or win.
I just want to maintain my peace.
And of course, not be out on the streets.
I want to spend some time alone.
Introspecting in my own zone.
So, if you've been following me,
I sincerely thank thee.
But, my posts will change dramatically.
Because I need to believe thoroughly.
If I myself don't know,
how must I, the way to show!
In pensive melancholy,
I bid adieu with an apology.
I encourage you,
to continue and pursue.
While I seek myself.
out of the dark well.

EDUCATE, DO NOT CONFUSE

GITA WISDOM # 56

Chapter 3 Verse 29

प्रकृतेर्गुणसम्मूढ़ाः सज्जन्ते गुणकर्मसु।
तानकृत्स्नविदो मन्दान्कृत्स्नविन्न विचालयेत्‌॥

When the followers err in understanding the subtle differences between various behavioural issues, the discerning leaders shall try to educate them instead of creating more confusion. (3.29)

प्रकृति के गुणों से अत्यन्त मोहित हुए मनुष्य गुणों में और कर्मों में आसक्त रहते हैं, उन पूर्णतया न समझने वाले मन्दबुद्धि अज्ञानियों को पूर्णतया जानने वाला ज्ञानी विचलित न करे
॥29॥

MAY BE

Sheereen's avatarThe Lightening bug

Hiding beneath the layers of masks, lies a little child with innocent eyes and golden heart. This masquerade has been prolonged for far too long. The heart craves for freedom and the mind its peace, may be the ulterior universe has it all!

May be one day, the oppressed strength, the unshed tears and the suppressed emotions find their way back, to stand tall against the injustice, that started it all!

May be one day, the cowardly brave evolves into a lion heart.

May be one day, this piercing hopelessness shapes into acceptance and faith.

May be, just may be, one day, life is what it is and not the romanticisation of pain and hope.

Yayy. I survived upto 50th post.

LEADING FROM THE FRONT

GITA WISDOM # 55

Chapter 3 Verse 26

न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङि्गनाम्‌।
जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन्‌॥

The knowledgeable leaders do not create confusion amongst the followers. They tend to set up a worthy example for the juniors by following the right course of action and ensure that the others follow their path. (3.26)

परमात्मा के स्वरूप में अटल स्थित हुए ज्ञानी पुरुष को चाहिए कि वह शास्त्रविहित कर्मों में आसक्ति वाले अज्ञानियों की बुद्धि में भ्रम अर्थात कर्मों में अश्रद्धा उत्पन्न न करे, किन्तु स्वयं शास्त्रविहित समस्त कर्म भलीभाँति करता हुआ उनसे भी वैसे ही करवाए
॥26॥

The knowledgeable leaders do not create confusion amongst the followers. They tend to set up a worthy example for the juniors by following the right course of action and ensure that the others follow their path. (3.26)

WHAT TO DO WITH NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

PAUSE

Era's avatarTHE HIDDEN SOUL

We assure and reassure ourselves, it is ok, it is absolutely fine, it is just a little late, everything will fall into place one day, till then keep some patience and wait. But does it worth the wait? Does it worth your time? Always trying to be positive, but how can one be positive all the time, negativity does stick sometimes around, everything seems too meaningless, doesn’t it? It feels like over positive behavior too can cause pain unknown to us, creating more misery? Even why, when, what, and how becomes senseless questions with no answers, laughing at us. Giggling finally they succeed in crushing the wall of confidence, minor but damage is executed. Seems bizarre? How easily we broke on silliest things around, don’t we or maybe not, and sometimes strongest of storms can’t make us leave our path, seems strange, isn’t it?

If we can’t accept what…

चल दूर कहीं

Zoya Ke Jazbaat's avatarZoya Ke Jazbaat

चल इस दुनिया से दूर कहीं हम दोनों चले जाते हैं,
नदी से मोहब्बत और फल से मीठा रस लाते हैं।

आसमाँ को चादर और जमीं को बिछौना बनाते हैं,
सूरज की रोशनी और ठंडी हवा से सुकून पाते हैं।

फूलों से खुशबू और चाँद से चाँदनी चुरा लाते हैं,
चलो उस जन्नत में जाकर आशियाना बनाते हैं।
