The Dharma Dispatch

The Sanatana work ethic involves nfusing Samskara into work. Thus, the moment Kumkum or Haldi is mixed with rice grains, it is transformed into Akshata, literally meaning, “that which cannot be destroyed." https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/from-auspiciousness-to-depravity-a-hasty-race-to-the-bottom#:~:text=infusing%20Samskara%20into%20it.%20Thus%2C%20the%20moment%20Kumkum%20or%20Haldi%20is%20mixed%20with%20rice%20grains%2C%20it%20is%20transformed%20into%20Akshata%2C%20literally%20meaning%2C%20%E2%80%9Cthat%20which%20cannot%20be%20destroyed.

BORI Beckons P.K.Gode   P.K. Gode found his life's calling when he joined the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI), Poona in 1921 as an Assistant Curator. He remained there for the rest of his working life.    In fact, Gode was a born researcher and BORI was the boundless ocean that allowed him unhindered exploration. In a sense, both were born and made for each other. From one perspective, the distinguished history of BORI is also the august professional biography of P.K. Gode.   Over a distinguished academic career spanning four decades, Gode published a whopping 475 research papers of the topmost quality. -- Read the whole piece! 📑🕉🛕🪔   https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/bori-beckons-pkgode

Consumed by Communism: The Sordid Story of how Amartya Sen Ruined the Nalanda Revival   The Nalanda University revival is one of the Cruellest Hoaxes in history. As is well-known, the arch villain of this tale is Amartya Sen. The heart of the ancient Nalanda University lay in the study and the imparting of traditional learning in various subjects. Therefore, it caused immense public disappointment when the economist Amartya Sen, who has absolutely no knowledge of these traditional disciplines, was appointed to head the revival project. Amartya Sen, throughout his long career, has heaped scorn on everything that is rooted in the Indian tradition. Do read this comprehensive story of how Amartya Sen thoroughly botched up the revival of the Nalanda University using a mix of nepotism, incompetency and ad hoc functioning. 😡📑🛕🕉🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/blinded-by-communism-the-story-of-how-amartya-sen-ruined-the-nalanda-revival

Here is a Partial Story of the Erstwhile Republic of Jagan Mohan Reddy -- The monumental unravelling in the 2024 elections was not the BJP's decline but Andhra Pradesh. What transpired there was not voting but revolt. The kind we've not seen since independence.    Here's just three data points on what Jagan Reddy did to the state.   Ever wonder how it feels to take home delivery of the decapitated body of your loved one all because he supported the “wrong“ political party?    Or being ordered by another member of the ruling party to “send” your wife to him for a night?    If you happen to be a Hindu in such a state, you will be treated to regular news of “unknown miscreants” desecrating your Devatas and urinating on Murtis and inside temples. --- Read the whole sordid saga! 😡🙏🕉🪔🛕 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/here-is-a-partial-story-of-the-erstwhile-republic-of-jagan-mohan-reddy

The Birth and Education of a Titan P.K. Gode was born on July 11, 1891 in Deorukh village, Sangameshwar Taluk, Ratnagiri District. This is how he describes his childhood education under his father. "My father was a devoted reader of the Kesari edited by Lokamanya Tilak and the Sudharak edited by Principal Agarkar. Though not a Sanskrit Pandit he compelled me to commit to memory the entire Amarakosa and many Subhasitas." This is the kind of education we have lost and must revive if we are serious about preserving our cultural heritage. ---- Read the whole thing! 🙏📑🛕🕉🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/the-education-of-a-titan
