Origin and Development of ISKCON

Origin and Development of ISKCON

By Mataji Parama Karuna Devi ISKCON, or the “Hare Krishna movement”, became a major cultural and religious phenomenon in the 1970s, effectively introducing the Krishna bhakti cult at global level and giving immense popularity to ethical vegetarianism and to the traditional Indian scriptures Bhagavad gita and Bhagavata purana. However, with the disappearance of Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the […]

2012 : End of the World or Beginning of a New One?

2012 : End of the World or Beginning of a New One?

By Ranbir Singh (CHAKRA) Apocalypse is big business. There is nothing like a disaster film to get the cinema ticket sales increased and it does not even need to be in 3D. Disease, war, carnage, anything that makes our pleasant surroundings fall apart seems to get us addicted. It is as if we are not […]

Trash Mobbing the Victims of 26/11 (Mumbai)

Mumbai, India (CHAKRA) The release of the online Flash Mob Mumbai video showing the spoilt western wannabe youth of Mumbai dancing on the very site of gruesome terrorist attacks at the rail station would be laughable if it was not so insulting to the memory of those innocent people who lost their lives. Emulating a […]

India’s Political Amnesia and The Nehru – Gandhi Clan’s Incompetence

India’s Political Amnesia and The Nehru – Gandhi Clan’s Incompetence

As a follow up to one of my previous articles, Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill, 2011, I’ve decided to focus my grievances with the unscrupulous subversion of India’s population as perpetrated by the Nehru-Gandhi clan and its minions. I am quite upset by watching India celebrate the failures of the Nehru-Gandhi clan and its continued erosion of the country’s social, religious, political and economic fabric. You know, we usually hear people say things like: “you don’t give this woman or this man enough credit for all the good things he/she has done”. My task in this modest essay is to shed light on what we don’t hear people say enough: “you don’t give this woman or this man enough credit for all the bad things he/she has done”. So be forewarned, I’ll be quite negative in the following paragraphs. If you are a diehard fan of the Nehru-Gandhi family (the clan), then be prepared to get the wakeup call of your life. I will briefly highlight the failures of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and that imbecilic brat unofficially known as Rahul Gandhi. Following the failures of the Nehru-Gandhi clan will be a brief list of present day malaises of India which can be attributed to the clan. I shall conclude with a juxtaposition of Mahatma Gandhi’s insights with the failures to live by those insights by the Congress Party figures and their corporate allies as one final jolt of reality.
