i AM TRYING TO THINK HOW TO MAKE THE LINKS OR CONNECTIONS TO THE BIGGER PICTURE SO THAT THE MAP OF AKAND BHARAT DOES NOT BRING UP FEAR OR NEGATIVITY OR DIVISION BUT JUST THE REVERSE.
Given the backlash to Ram Madhav’s interview, it is a really good question. I wonder what people would make of the picture of the Mother sitting in front of Akhand Bharat, would they see the unity differently?

Patricia, thank you for giving us a link to the New Indian Express article.
It was disturbing to read that the plea of Ram Madav for Akand Bharat was met with a connection to Hitler. That inner sense of what Akand Bharat means is not part of the consciousness of Ashutosh, he seems separated from that inner connection.
His rather derisive remark of those who believe in Akand Bharat – “That all those who live across the Himalayas till the river Indus and the sea are Hindus and one nation, one race.” isn’t what I understand of the reunification aspiration of Ram Madav – one nation certainly, but not all Hindus or one race. This seems like an attempt to create discord and anger in India. If only Thea’s words would reach him and his audience to create an opening within them…

I wasn’t familiar with the word ‘gopuram’ so I looked it up and found this –
“The Tamil derivation is from the two words: கோ (kō) and புறம் (puram) meaning ‘King’ and ‘exterior’ respectively.[5] It originates from the Sangam age when it was known as ஓங்கு நிலை வாயில் (ōnggu nilai vāyil) meaning ‘imperishable gateway’.[6]
Siegfried Lienhard considers this Tamil derivation but offers a new derivation from the Sanskrit word, गोपुर, is often translated as “town gate”. Separately, it consists of two words go,with the possible meanings of cow or sky, and pura, meaning city.[”
As Thea wrote in TNW 1&2 –
“this is one reason why the cow is venerated in India, because its gestation period is the same as the human; the cow thus becomes a symbol of this process, hence the Sanskrit word for cow (go) means also light;; the 9 cycle is the gestation period of the soul light.”
So the ‘gopuram’ is the entrance to the ‘City of Light’ or the’ Gateway to the Soul’ those 9 gestating months becoming the 10th and entrance into the middle of the Capricorn Mountain. All so connected.

Devinder, it is disheartening to see that after reading Thea’s FACTS NOT THE FICTION OF DENIAl you can only write “I wud reply Madam Thea’s emotional posts later.” I find it insulting and dismissive. It means you have distorted the Power and Force behind her writing as ’emotional’, an adjective you have thrown out before. The beauty of the Knowledge of Akand Bharat and that image of Capricorn on her Body is awe inspiring and yet your first response to this extraordinary revelation is ’emotional posting’. How very strange.

In a you tube video on Kozyrev they talked about his work with concave mirrors and that this work continued in Russia after he died reporting that past, present and future seemed to intersect in these experiments. They referenced “Indian Temples” where golden polished concave mirrors were used to predict the future implying that they were being used in modern times and that “prophets” from many traditions had used them.

David Wilcox’s Divine Cosmos website has a long article on Kosyrev, the whole field of torsion waves and much more. Referring to both Russian and western scientists who have been influenced by his Kosyrev’s work. He was imprisoned for 10 yrs, got out and was sent back for very strange reasons and was supposed to be executed, but scientists intervened because without his genius they would not be able to do some very important work. He had a spiritual awakening in prison and saw the patterns that exist in matter and the subtle world. There is also a Reference section at the end with citations. http://divinecosmos.com/start-here/books-free-online/20-the-divine-cosmos/95-the-divine-cosmos-chapter-01-the-breakthroughs-of-dr-na-kozyrev

This is The Telegraph article. Tulsi made a very astute observation about the timing of the 2014 US Commission for International Religious Freedom meeting which coincided with the national elections.
Sangh finds a mascot in American Tulsi
Our Special Correspondent
Tulsi Gabbard
New Delhi, Jan. 3: The RSS fraternity’s newest mascot is Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat elected to the US House of Representatives from Hawaii.
Hours before she was to fly back to the US this evening, Tulsi sat through a discussion on “the future of Indo-US relations” hosted by India Foundation, a Sangh-aligned think-tank, spoke and took questions.
The leitmotifs in the address, as in her numerous other speaking engagements, were ” aloha” (Hawaiian for “heartfelt respect and love for others”), the Bhagvad Gita, ” karma yoga” and ” bhakti yoga”.
In the three weeks that Tulsi was in India on the invitation of the Narendra Modi government, she was feted like a top visiting leader. The reception went way beyond the ritual courtesies an Indian MP – her counterpart in India – would be extended abroad.
Tulsi began her sojourn with calls on the Prime Minister, foreign minister Sushma Swaraj, home minister Rajnath Singh and the army chief. She met finance minister Arun Jaitley towards the end of her visit.
There were reasons for the exceptional treatment she received. Tulsi is the best advertisement the Sangh can hope to get for its ” ghar vapsi” (religious homecoming) agenda, tactically set aside to spare the government more embarrassment.
“Each of the places I went to (in India), I would be asked, I want to know your name is Tulsi, but you are not from India,” she said in her address. Born in American Samoa to a Catholic father and a Caucasian Hindu mother, she embraced Hinduism in her teens. This was Tulsi’s first visit to India.
“We have heard of Hindus converting to Islam and Christianity. Here’s someone who willingly adopted Hinduism. It proves our point that re-conversions are never forced,” a VHP official said, asking not to be named.
Tulsi’s endorsement of the Gita was also music to RSS-BJP ears, especially after the controversy over foreign minister Sushma’s call to declare the book a “national scripture”.
Tulsi took the oath of office on the Gita, the first elected representative in the US to do so. “Ideologically, she represents the global Hindu community,” gushed an India Foundation official, Alok Bansal.
She said: “Why was that important? Krishna’s teachings constitute my life and soul and their foundations. The Gita is a perfect text.”
Tulsi said in the months she served as a soldier in a Baghdad medical unit, the “toughness and daily stress enabled me to go back to the Bhagvad Gita, to hold the Lord close to my heart.”
In 2013, after she was sworn in, the US Hindu American Foundation congratulated her and said in a statement: “We also look forward to her giving voice to the concerns of her fellow Hindu Americans and bringing her uniquely pluralistic world view to American policy-making and governance.” The statement was quoted in Organiser, the RSS weekly.
However, BJP sources said Tulsi had endeared herself to Modi for reasons that transcended the parivar’s ideological obsessions.
In April 2014, just before the Lok Sabha elections, the US Commission for International Religious Freedom’s vice-chairperson, Katrina Lantos, alleged that a Modi win would be “detrimental” to the “basic rights” of India’s religious minorities when she testified before the US Congress’s Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission.
Tulsi was quick to disapprove. She was quoted by American papers as saying: “I do not believe the timing of this hearing is a coincidence. The national elections in India begin on Monday and continue until May 12. I am concerned that the goal of this hearing is to influence the outcome of India’s national elections, which is not an appropriate role for the US Congress.”
At today’s India Foundation function, she was asked if she had voted in favour of a recent $1-billion aid sanctioned to Pakistan by the US Congress. Tulsi declared she voted against the aid, drawing thunderous applause.
Tulsi’s official website, gabbard.house.gov, announced the Senate’s appointment of Vivek Murthy as America’s Surgeon General as the “first Indian and first Hindu American” to hold this position.

This is a link to the Indian Express article that Patricia referenced. It is helpful to understand what an impact Obama’s remarks had –http://www.newindianexpress.com/prabhu_chawla/columns/Opinionated-Obama-Must-Realise-Hes-Dealing-with-a-PM-Whos-as-Responsive-as-Ruthless/2015/02/08/article2657540.ece

Quote -’Your Article 25 says that all people are “equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion.” This statement to “propagate religion” written into the Indian Constitution surprised me given the history of missionary work in India and the invasions.
As far as I know Hindus and Jews are the only groups who do not actively proselytize; I don’t know about Eastern Orthodox religions. It seems strange that this would have been written into law since it is Christianity and Islam which actively do the proselytizing, not Hindus who were the majority at the time of Independence.
This mindset of missionary activity being a good thing is part and parcel of these religious beliefs and it doesn’t seem as though this is ever questioned. In light of all the missionaries who are captured, tortured and used for ransom, does anyone question what might be behind this.
