Maoists beating a local biker

2010-05-06T20:21:00.000-07:00

The photo has been published at http://thehimalayantimes.com/photos.php but it does not have a permalink so tomorrow there will be another photo. So, here's the link for the photo only:

Maoists will never change their ways. They are liars and ravenous wolves. There is no other way than to support a strong Hindu Kingdom. Sita was born in a Hindu Kingdom. So was Buddha. Now what kind of people will be born in Secular Republic of Nepal?

Easy calling to Nepal! Almost like Local call!

Please read before clicking here!

You just have to login and enter all the contacts in Nepal you intend to call sometimes and get a local number for them! Save the local number on your phone and call your contacts anytime just like you make local calls. No need to enter PIN everytime. The cost? USD 0.175 per minute for both mobile and landline!

One more: The sound is as clear as local call!!

Flood of Prince Paras supporters in Birgunj

2010-04-30T13:58:00.000-07:00

On April 28th, thousands of people came out to welcome Prince Paras in Birgunj, many of them chanting slogans for return of Monarchy. There were nice news reports on Nepali media, mostly different TV and FM radio stations. However, the news did not make it to international audience because most international news agencies ignored the news while the 'internationally appearing' news websites from Nepal gave a very brief news of Prince Paras' visit to Birgunj (this includes NepalNews.com, TheHimalayanTimes.com, etc).

The video footage from the TV reports and some photographs appeared in some Nepali blogs and some news websites like Mero Sansar, America Darpan and Nagarik News. Here's one video put up by Mero Sansar on Youtube:

Christ is Krishna

2010-01-21T09:31:00.000-08:00

Jesus Christ said he is the son of God. His last name is Christ because it comes from his father's name, which is Christ. 'Christ' is English word, which came from Greek word 'Christos'. There is also another proof that Greeks knew of Krishna. From 180-165 BCE, the Greek ruler Agathocles issued coins with images of Vasudeva holding a chakra. In BC 113 Heliodorus, a Greek ambassador to India, a devotee of Krishna/Vasudeva erected a column (pillar) at Videsha.
Click here to see the photos relating the coin and the column.
Christ is an avatar of God Shree Krishna.
Read Srila Prabhupada's conversation with a Christian Father. Srila Prabhupada comes from a line of Vaisnavas (of disciplic succession) since the time of Krishna himself i.e. 5000 years ago. Please read the whole article.

Maybe time for a thought and some changes to return to your original self!!

Worry About Nepal

2010-01-18T15:27:00.001-08:00

This building is doomed. Why? Read On:

Well, I don't know where to go in Wichita to worry about Nepal but an Internet connection from Cox or AT&T would do the job. Read these news articles (on the Internet!) that talk about Earthquake vulnerability in Kathmandu, Nepal. Lets do something for our heritages and friends and families who live there. We could convince anyone to help if we tell them the truth that Kathmandu, Nepal is on the top of the list on most earthquake-vulnerable world cities and that Kathmandu Valley has densest concentration of World Heritage Sites too.

Practice Dharma in the US

2010-01-18T09:46:00.000-08:00

First off, can you explain your own belief system? Get educated. Well, on the Internet About.com is a great resource (better than Wikipedia, though Wikipedia can be extremely helpful at times. About.com is a part of New York Times Company and articles are written by professionals).
Read this article in About.com: Hinduism For Beginners

How is Hinduism unique from other religions?:
Hinduism cannot be neatly slotted into any particular belief system. Unlike other religions, Hinduism is a way of life, a Dharma, that is, the law that governs all action. It has its own beliefs, traditions, advanced system of ethics, meaningful rituals, philosophy and theology. The religious tradition of Hinduism is solely responsible for the creation of such original concepts and practices as Yoga, Ayurveda, Vastu, Jyotish, Yajna, Puja, Tantra, Vedanta, Karma, etc.
