८ जुलै १९१० चे महत्व / The mystery behind Veer Savarkar's escape from British custody.

ही अशी उडी बघताना । कर्तव्य मृत्यू विसरला ॥ 
बुरुजावर फडफडलेला । झाशीतील घोडा हसला॥ १॥ 
वासुदेव बळवंतांच्या । कंठात हर्ष गदगदला ॥ 
क्रांतीच्या केतूवरला । अस्मान कडाडून गेला ॥ २ ॥ 
दुनियेत फक्त आहेत । विख्यात बहाद्दर दोन ॥ 
जे गेले आईकरिता । सागरास पालांडुन ॥ ३ ॥
हनुमंतानंतर आहे । या विनायकाचा मान ॥ 
लावुनिया प्राण पणाला । अस्मान कडाडून गेला ॥ ४॥ 

८ जुलै १९१० रोजी मार्सेलिस बंदरात विनायक दामोदर सावरकरांनी बोटीतून मारलेली त्रिखंडात गाजलेली ऐतिहासीक मार्सेलिसची उडी- अर्थातच साहसदिन :
स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकरांना विनम्र अभिवादन.

The mystery behind Veer Savarkar's escape from British custody

NRI researcher claims freedom fighter's bid to escape from British custody in France was foiled by two Indians.

An NRI researcher has exposed a neatly maintained lie by the British government regarding the arrest of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in France on July 8, 1910, when the revolutionary escaped from their custody by leaping into the sea from merchant vessel Morea at Marseilles. The British government claimed in the international court at The Hague that Savarkar was caught by a French soldier and handed over to the British. But Chicago-based Shridhar Damle, 70, has found that Savarkar was caught by Amarsinh Pardeshi and A. Siddiqui-two British policemen of Indian origin-who were on board guarding him, a short while after he swam ashore.

In March 1910, British police arrested Savarkar for anti-British activities at London's Victoria railway station, as soon as his train reached there from Paris. They sent him back to India by ship in order to prosecute him for his inflammatory 1906 anti-government speech in Mumbai. Morea reached the French port of Marseilles on July 7, 1910. Next morning, between 6 and 7 a.m., Savarkar escaped through a porthole and swam ashore. According to the British police, a French marine brigadier arrested the revolutionary and handed him over. Three people from the vessel helped him in the recapture.

Damle, who met Savarkar in 1959 as a college student at the latter's home in Mumbai, contradicts the British claim. He went through documents of inquiry, initiated after Savarkar's escape by Scotland Yard and the British-Indian government, and stumbled upon Pardeshi and Siddiqui's involvement in the arrest that had led to a worldwide furore. Documents reveal that Siddiqui first caught hold of Savarkar's neck. Then Pardeshi caught his left arm. Only then did the French brigadier catch Savarkar's right arm. Interestingly, Pardeshi, a native of Savarkar's hometown of Nashik, was present at his send-off function when he left for London to study law in 1906. He was chosen to arrest Savarkar as he could identify him. "British police thought Pardeshi had a soft corner for Savarkar. They doubted whether he would arrest the Hindu nationalist and sent Siddiqui along,?? Damle says.


Savarkar had informed Paris-based revolutionaries Madam Bhikaji Cama and Shyamji Krishna Verma of his plan of escape and asked them to be ready with a car on shore. "Cama and Verma reached half an hour late. By that time, the British had arrested Savarkar.?? Damle, a retired public relations officer with a multinational bank, started his research in June 2010. "I wanted to study Savarkar from the British point of view,?? says Damle, who claims he pored over 40,000 pages at London's India House and British National Archives, Paris and Delhi's National Archives and Delhi's Nehru Memorial Museum & Library. His only regret: "Foreign institutes are more helpful than the Indian ones.??

तेजोवलय (Aura)

ऑरा ..किंवा मराठीत ज्याला तेजोवलय हा छान शब्द आहे,  मानवी शरीर universal life force  जीला प्राणशक्ती म्हणू शकतो अश्या ऊर्जेने बनलेले आहे.  या शक्तीमुळे जिवंत राहण्यासाठी, वाढ,  maintenance  आणि इतर अनेक क्रियांसाठी संपूर्ण शरीरात असंख्य घडामोडी आपोआप घडत असत्तात ज्याचा आपल्याला पत्ताही नसतो.  या क्रियांमुळे आपल्या शरीराभोवती एक ऊर्जा क्षेत्र (इलेक्ट्रो- मॅग्नेटिक फील्ड) सतत तयार होत असते.  आपल्या शरीरालागत ऊर्जेचे असणारे हे वलय म्हणजेच ऑरा किंवा तेजोवलय.  प्रत्येक सजीव जीवाला, मानव, प्राणी, वनसंपत्ती यांना तेजोवलय असते.   Quantum physics नुसार शास्त्रज्ञानी सिद्ध केल्या प्रमाणे सगळं विश्व ऊर्जेने बनलेलं आहे, आणि त्या सिद्धांता नुसार निर्जीव वस्तूंना ही तेजोवलय असते. माणसाचे हृदय हे सर्वात जास्त उर्जाक्षेत्र निर्माण करत असते...आणि त्या खालोखाल मेंदू.  यामुळेच तुम्ही कधी बघितलं असेल, की एखाद्या अनोळखी व्यक्तीला प्रथमच भेटता तेव्हा काही बोलणं न होताही तुम्हाला वाटतं .. हा माणूस काही चांगला वाटत नाही.  किंवा ह्या उलट सुद्धा.. एखाद्याबद्दल त्याच्याशी न बोलताही प्रथम दर्शनी आपले अतिशय चांगले...

HISTORY OF AYODHYA AND the GENEOLOGY AND FAMILY TREE OF KING RAMA

*HISTORY OF AYODHYA AND the GENEOLOGY AND FAMILY TREE OF KING RAMA*  Manu founded the city of Ayodhya on the banks of Sarayu River around 13800 BC during the early Vedic era.
