Sona besh of Lord Jagannath....

It was a regal sight as the deities of Jagannath temple on Friday (19.07.2013) appeared in their golden avatar (Suna Besha) aboard their chariots. A sea of humanity turned up at the beach town to witness the spectacle. On the shining occasion of Suna Besha, the deities were adorned with gold jewelleries weighing nearly 208 kg on their bodies, a temple source said. The temple witnesses Suna Besha on four other occasions-Dussehra, Kartika Purnima, Pausa Purnima and Dola Purnima - in a calendar year. But Rath Yatra is the only occasion when Suna Besha is celebrated on the chariots outside the temple in full public view.
According to legends, Suna Besha was introduced during the era of King Kapilendra Deb in 1460. "He had conquered another King and brought huge quantities of gold on 16 elephants to Puri. He donated all the gold to the Jagannath temple," said Rabindranath Pratihari, a veteran Jagannath temple priest.     I was accompanied by my younger brothers, friends on bike trip.Sharing Pictures:-

Step motherly attitude towards our State Odisha for sanction of Special Category State Status and allocation of funds in various schemes including BRGF

Our State, being a very backward State of the Country having more than 40% of its population belongs to ST/SC and 50% of its population belongs to Other Backward Classes (OBCs), has been regularly demanding before the Govt. of India for sanction of Special Category State Status to our State, but no action is taken by the Government at Centre till date.
    Even, during past in the occasion of natural calamities,  the Government of India had not sanctioned sufficient funds to our State to meet the emergency situations, though Hon’ble Prime Minister of the UPA Government had declared for huge financial help during his visit to our State at the time of natural calamities.
   Like that, the budgetary provision of the Central Government for our State with respect to Railways, Rural Development, SC/ST & OBC welfare schemes and other poverty alleviation schemes etc. is very small in comparison to other States.
    On the other hand, the Govt. of India is not paying sufficient royalty for the coal and minerals taken away from our State. Rather, on our demand for funds, the Hon’ble Prime Minister had criticized us that “Paisa kya Ped main falta hai !!!”  (Money is not fruits of the trees).
   Hence, we feel and realise that the UPA Govt. has been allocating and utilising public money for prosperity of their political position, only with a motive to regain its power at the Centre and not for the development of the country and the poorest of the poor.
I  demand before His Excellency Hon’ble President of India to intervene into the matter and to give necessary direction to the Govt. of India to fulfil our demand with respect to sanction of Special Category State Status and allocation of funds in various schemes including BRGF & KBK districts.

If Narendra Modi can be called as "Bhasmasur" then why can't Naveen Patnaik ?

Today early morning there was two fresh allegations made against the Gujrat Chief Minister Mr.Narendra Modi. The first controversial statement was made by the Uttar Pradesh Mr.Akhilesh Yadav that "Narendra Modi's magic works only on television and in Gujrat." The second one came from the Union Minister Mr.Jairam Ramesh. Jairam Ramesh has barked at Narendra Modi naming Modi as a "Bhasmasur - He will consume the people who have created him. He has consumed by Togadia.
      Let me give a brief idea what is Bhasmasur is all about ? Bhasmashur was a great demon who was granted the power by Lord Shiva to destroy anyone whose head he touched with hi hands. When Lord Shiva granted him the power Bhasmashur attempted to touch the head of the Lord Shiva with his hands because he saw his Lord Shiva's wife Parvati and wanted to posses her.
        My question is If Narendra Modi can be termed as "Bhasmasur" why can't Naveen ? I am talking about the Odisha Chief Minister Mr.Naveen Patnaik. He has also consumed many leaders who have helped him to enter into politics. Way back in 1997 after the sad demise of legendary leader Shri. Biju Patnaik his younger son Naveen Patnaik entered into politics with the help of the Odisha's grass root and stronghold politicians like Former Minister Bijoy Mohapatra, Late Former Minister Shri.Nalinikanta Mohanty, Former Minister Ramkrushna Patnaik. Naveen Patnaik contested the by-election and won from Aska Parliamentary Constituency under Janata Dal with the help of former Minister Mr.Ramkrushna Patnaik who once was called as "Ganjam Tiger" was also ditched by Naveen Patnaik. Biju Patnaik never wanted that Janata Dal wing  of Odisha would be destroyed. He took lots of pain not to break Janata Dal in pieces. But Biju Patnaik  never had dreamt of that his own son will destroy the party. Naveen Patnaik destroyed the party and formed a new party to make an alliance with the Bhartiya Janata Party as he wanted to become the Union Cabinet Minister. Then he rampaged the career of some high status political persons who were once upon a time were the termed as a "Saccha Sipahi" of his late father. He suspended the former Minister Bijoy Mohapatra from his party in a dramatic manner in the year 2000. Then his list goes on with Mr.Nalinikanta Mohanty, Ramkrushna Patnaik, Former Union Minister Dillip Ray, Braja Kishore Tripathy. TIll Naveen last victim is former bureaucrat and Rajya Sabha MP Pyarimohan Mohapatra who had served Naveen for more than a decade.  Naveen never take a back step to consume  his own people whose invaluable support towards Naveen to make him the Chief Minister for three consecutive times.
    If Narendra Modi has consumed only Togadia then why Union Minister and the National Media remains Mum in the case of Naveen Patnaik. Is it because Narendra Modi is bit arrogant and aggressive in nature and Naveen Patnaik over the years has show his false gentle man's gesture ?

Lal Krishna Advani's resignation has been rejected by BJP top officials and he remain as the head of the National Executive, The Parliamentary and The Election Committee. I have a simple message to convey him:- You have reached the age at which people in the family used to play with there grand childrens. Instead of doing so you are hunger for the PM's post. Its better you stop day dreaming and enter into realistic world that you can never be the PM rather leave all your desires and anxieties and clear the way for the Gujrat Chief Minister Shri.Narendra Modi. The young mass wants rapid growth of our nation which is only possible  if Narendra Modi is made the Prime Minister.  If I would had been the BJP party president then would had dumped you much before probably in the year 2004 as you had dumped the legendary leader of your party Shri.Atal Behari Vajpayeeji.

 

 

 

 

OJM Chief Pyari greeted with eggs In Umerkote.
Nabarangpur:
Rajya Sabha MP and Odisha Jana Morcha (OJM) Chief Pyari Mohapatro’s two days visit to the district has undoubtedly upset for ruling BJD. During his visit on Wednesday Pyari made a tour of Umerkote, Chandahandi, Jharigam, attended many party meetings organized at block level in those places. At some places he was greeted with much enthusiasm by the party wokers. However at Umerkote and Jharigam Pyari was greeted with eggs pelted at his vehicle, this act of egg throwing led to a lot of tension between the supporters of Pyari and BJD workers. In this connection Police had taken some people to its custody later they were released.

Pyari who was a key strategist of the ruling BJD also known as the proverbial Chanakya for Naveen Patnaik, had become the latter’s friend, philosopher and guide for the first 12 years of the BJD regime. It is worth mentioning here that it is the first ever visi...t of Pyari to this district after the May 29th failed midnight operation. First he went to Chandahandi, the home area of Minister and BJD district president Ramesh Majhi, attended a party meeting and procession at some places he greeted his party workers from within his own vehicle. After that he attended a Motor cycle rally and a meeting at Umerkote where eggs were pelted at him.

Criticizing the schemes of Naveen Patnaik, and British rule exuded confidence that the OJM along with its allies would form government in the state after 2014 polls by joining hands with like-minded parties. With your blessings the after OJM comes to power the development of KBK, including employment opportunity to 85 lakhs youths through micro finance would be our main priority Pyari said addressing the meeting at Papadahandi, on Thursday. Later he left to attend meetings at Borigumma. While addressing to media persons Pyari said the Month May is vital and identical lucky for him and his party. Within a very short span of time, OJM widespread in the state, having thousands of workers each and every area we are covering he added. On 29th of this month objection period for our party was over, we will register and apply for party symbol soon Pyari added. The opinion at the political circle is that the infighting in the BJD here will benefit Pyari in the coming election.

IPL boom:

As we watch the IPL matches , there is good capital gain by bookies and players! BCCI said they cannot control bookies. A simple case shall be registered by Rajastan Royals. This is age of consumerism and crony capitalism. This type of problem cannot be eradicated. I think they should legalise bating.
First, they introduced something called "auction" of players. It was a new word to hear after Abraham lincon abolished slavery. We accepted that. Then they introduced fun elements like cheer girl , a sexist medieval display. We also accepted that. Now , it is time we should accept bookies and baiting as legal. The face language of most of the BCCI members yesterday was cheerful as if they have nothing to do with baiting and corruption in the game. But the larger question is whether the money goes to anti-nationals or stock exchange or hawala operations? in spite of everything we cannot stop watching the game!

Brothers  are special … such a joy to be catching up with my younger brother Aditya in Bhubaneswar  ..
