Swami Kral Bab's birth anniversary celebrated in Kashmir's Venkur ashram after 32 years

Followers from all over the country visited the Ashram at Venkur, Baramulla in Kashmir to celebrate Swami Kral Bab's birth anniversary.

Swami Kral Bab was born in 1928 on Phagun Purnima, also celebrated as the day of Holi/Holika Dehan. He established his first Ashram at Venkur, Baramulla and gained followers soon after. Natives say that he brought spiritual repute and prosperity to the place. Today, several generations of Kashmiri Pandit families living all over the world are devotees of the saint.

Born in a simple family in Kashmir, Swami Kral Bab's original name was Bhagwan Dass in Kralgund village of Kupwara, Kashmir. He had a spiritual inclination since a very young age. He was the disciple of Swami Nand Lal Ji, who is also a revered figure for Kashmiri Pandits. He was renamed 'Kral Bab' by his guru.

A havan was performed on 18th March 2022 at the Venkur Ashram to observe the birth anniversary of the Yogi. The celebration also included Kashmiri folk music and religious music sung by various artists and devotees of Swami Kral Bab.

The Venkur Ashram of Swami Kral Bab, which was in shambles for many years, has been recently renovated by followers of Swami Kral Bab. It holds great importance since the Saint built the ashram after his guru (spiritual master) Swami Nand Lal Ji left for his heavenly abode in 1968. Swami Kral Bab established an ashram thereafter and lived in Venkur, Baramulla from around 1970 to 1979. He established several other Ashrams like Namtihaal (Budgam district, Kashmir), Tikri village (Udhampur district, Jammu) and Garhi(Udhampur, Jammu).

Swami Kral Bab laid the foundation stone of another ashram at Garhi, Udhampur in Jammu in the year 1975 as per his devotees. The saint had professed that the Garhi, Udhampur Ashram will be of significant importance in the time to come. His prophecy came true when the Ashram became a transit camp for Kashmiri Pandits fleeing Kashmir during the 90s exodus.

Swami Kral Bab left for his heavenly abode on 18th September 1990.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr
