Good Afternoon Friends.

Don't we missing something. 

Today is 9th August. 

Yes QUIET INDIA DAY. 

9TH AUGUST 1942. SORRY TO SAY EVEN PAPERS LIKE Times Of India , Nav Bharat Times FORGET THE DAY. 

Their Front page has every thing except this important news and which is not on any page.

Has it missed its relevance? But how we can forget the day and year which has given us freedom, independence? 

Can we forget our Date of Birth ? 

Than how we can forget the struggle of Independence? 

Which has given us chance to live in a free country. 

Which has given us the chance to hoist Tricolor on Red Fort.

Which made us the citizen of a independent country. 

Which made us a free citizen. 

We have our Constitution, Rights and Duties. 

Our own government.

Can we forget these leaders and many more? 

Can we forget "QUIET INDIA"

Can we forget " Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it."

In Hindi : कट्टरता सच को उन हाथों में सुरक्षित रखने की कोशिश करती है जो उसे मारना चाहते हैं. - Rabindranath Tagore रबिन्द्रनाथ टैगोर 

Can we forget Netajee Subhash Chandra Bose - 

Give me blood and I shall give you freedom!

In Hindi: तुम मुझे खून दो मैं तुम्हे आज़ादी दूंगा !

Nationalism is inspired by the highest ideals of the human race, satyam [the truth], shivam [the God], sundaram [the beautiful].

In Hindi: राष्ट्रवाद मानव जाति के उच्चतम आदर्शों सत्यम, शिवम्, सुन्दरम से प्रेरित है.

Nationalism in India has… roused the creative faculties which for centuries had been lying dormant in our people.

In Hindi: भारत में राष्ट्रवाद ने एक ऐसी शक्ति का संचार किया है जो लोगों के अन्दर सदियों से निष्क्रिय पड़ी थी.

Jai HIND, VANDE MATRAM

Golden Temple, Vellore. The entire temple is gold plated.

Golden Temple, Vellore. The entire temple is gold plated.

The temple with its gold (1500 kg) covering, has intricate work done by artisans specialising in temple art using gold. 

Every single detail was manually created, including converting the gold bars into gold foils and then mounting the foils on copper. 

Gold foil from 9 layers to 10 layers has been mounted on the etched copper plates.

Every single detail in the temple art has significance from the Vedas. 

Sripuram's design features a star-shaped path (Sri chakra), positioned in the middle of the lush green landscape, with a length of over 1.8 km. 

As one walks along this 'starpath' to reach the temple in the middle, one can also read various spiritual messages -- such as the gift of the human birth itself, and the value of spirituality -- along the way. 

The temple is located on 100 acres of land and has been constructed by the Vellore-based charitable trust.

Sri Narayani Peedam, headed by its spiritual leader Sri Sakthi Amma also known as 'Narayani Amma'.

Vellore in Tamil Nadu, India. It is 120 km from Tirupati, 145 km from Chennai, 160 km from Puducherry and 200 km from Bengaluru. 

The Maha Kumbhabhishekam or consecration of the temple and its chief deity, Sri Lakshmi Narayani or Maha Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, was held on 24 August 2007.

Devotees from all religions and backgrounds are welcome to visit. 

This temple is gilded with 1500 kg of pure gold, double the 750 kg gilding of the dome of the Golden Temple at Amritsar.
