The Sadhana of Sri Shyamdas Babaji SHYAMDAS BABAJI was a Vaishnava of the Gaudiya sampradaya and lived in the sacred Puri Dham. When I asked him about his spiritual condition, without any pretense or ostentation, he simply told me that his svabhava (true nature) had awakened. simply another name for chidakasha (the sky of consciousness). With his inner vision, he could always perceive an entity resembling a blue-coloured, circular sky. If the inner vision remained fixed in this sky (chidakasha), there remained no possibility of becoming entangled in external awareness. This is the kind of education we need, especially the Hindu children of today. Do read and share widely! 🕉🛕🪔🙏 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/the-sadhana-of-sri-shyamdas-babaji

Wellesley’s Grand Banquet in Lok Bhavan as a Symbol of British Plunder On January 26, 1803, Wellesley throws a lavish dinner at Lok Bhavan, Calcutta, attended by Valentia. It was a vulgar display of imperial opulence and hypocrisy, sustained by betrayal and exploitation of Indians. It also shows the strict hierarchical nature of British society. And it is such people who disparaged our Varna system as unjust and oppressive.

The DMK's Hindu Hatred is at the Root of Justice Swaminathan's Impeachment Move SINGLING OUT Justice Swaminathan for impeachment is also a cheap but outdated imitation of the DMK’s ideological ancestor E.V. Ramaswami Naicker, who once accused the whole judiciary that it was unjust because it was filled with Brahmins. it is quite incredible that in the Thiruparankundram litigation, the Tamil Nadu HR&CE department, which is meant to protect Hindu temples, was on the same side as the Managing Trustee of the Sikandar Badushah Dargah!

Kalinath Baba Masters the Power of the Khechari Vidya Kalinath Baba's clairvoyance, intuitive foresight, and advanced yogic attainment came from his mastery over the Khechari Vidya, as well as the importance of faith and humility in spiritual transmission. Here is a beautiful anecdote about an unworthy seeker who wanted shortcuts to spiritual power. Kalinath Baba said to him: "Even if you don't speak, everything is visible before my vision. Still, in keeping with worldly courtesy, I had asked you, but you did not answer — instead, you spoke harsh words. Yet you desired to receive some powers from me and make them your own. I tested you only to see how much faith you truly had in me. You are unworthy of receiving such powers!" 🛕🕉🪔 -- https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/kalinath-baba-masters-the-power-of-the-khechari-vidya

How Dhurandhar has Unravelled Pakistani Stooges in India ‘Dhurandhar’ is the first Indian movie that shows Pakistan as an Islamic theocratic state masquerading as a democracy. Just one movie has scorched an entrenched Leftist ecosystem that battles haplessly to douse this fire. Dhurandhar is a tsunami consumed their fondest fantasies of Aman ki Asha, the benevolence of Pakistan’s ISI and the perfidy that Bajrang Bali was actually Bhaijaan in a different avatar. -- Read my detailed analysis 📑🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/how-dhurandhar-has-unravelled-pakistani-stooges-in-india

The Secret of Kalinath Baba’s Clairvoyance Kalinath Baba explains the secret of his magical powers of clairvoyance by saying that he has mastered the art of direct perception. Here is an inspiring excerpt. "The equation of worldly powers means the coordination of cosmic forces. This method can also be understood as clairvoyance. This is the direct way of knowing — there is no illusion in it. Why do we strive and get stressed so much? Where is the root of our ego of agency? Just as the puppeteer makes the puppet dance, it will dance accordingly — it is not free. Gaining true freedom is liberation." 🕉🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/the-secret-of-kalinath-babas-clairvoyance

Kalinath Baba: The Clairvoyant Sadhu In 1935, a Sadhu named Kalinath Baba performed incredible feats of clairvoyance at Ram Ghat, Varanasi. He asked Gopinath Kaviraj to recite a line of a random poem. When Kaviraj recited it, Kalinath Baba took out a piece of paper from under his cushion and showed it to Gopinath. That exact line was written on it. Don't miss reading this extraordinary episode! 🛕🕉🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/kalinath-baba-the-clairvoyant-sadhu

The East India Company is an Old Woman and Valentia is her Grandson The most striking anecdote of Valentia is from Lucknow, where the Nawab announced him as “the Lord Sahib’s nephew and Mrs Company’s grandson,” reflecting a popular Indian belief that the East India Company was an old woman and Governors-General her sons. This metaphor is tragic evidence of the intellectual and moral degradation inflicted on Indians by centuries of Mughal oppression, which reduced the population to servility and stifled dignity.

[EPISODE 2] Viscount Valentia embodies the unapologetic, guilt-free mindset of the early-19th-century British ruling class: empire and slavery were not only profitable but morally ordained by Christian scripture. https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/viscount-valentia-the-unapologetic-exponent-of-colonial-slavery#:~:text=Viscount%20Valentia%20embodies%20the%20unapologetic%2C%20guilt%2Dfree%20mindset%20of%20the%20early%2D19th%2Dcentury%20British%20ruling%20class%3A%20empire%20and%20slavery%20were%20not%20only%20profitable%20but%20morally%20ordained%20by%20Christian%20scripture.

Valentia in Varanasi We begin a brand new exciting series based on Viscount Valentia's three-volume travelogue of his journeys in India. George Viscount Valentia, an Earl in England, embarked on a trip to India in 1802 and stayed here for about two years. Particularly eye-opening are the minute observations of his stay in Varanasi. He simply cannot stand the sight of the Alamgir mosque which he calls an eye-sore of the sacred city. Read the first episode! 🛕🕉🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/history/valentia-in-varanasi

Karnataka Chaos: A Mess Created by the Congress High Command Karnataka Congress is reaping the consequences of a toothless High Command that can no longer discipline its state chieftains, turning the state into a theatre of factional bloodsport between Siddaramaiah and D.K. Shiva Kumar. In a previous era, a Sanjay or Indira Gandhi wouldn’t have blinked before replacing or expelling both Siddaramaiah and Shiva Kumar.
