अब समय है अपने क्षेत्रीय संवाददाताओं से जानने का, कि उनके पास क्या विशेष है –


MUMBAI

Polling for the 288 constituencies of the Maharashtra Legislative Elections will be held tomorrow. Along with the assembly elections, by-elections for the Nanded Lok Sabha seat are also scheduled for tomorrow. In the recent Lok Sabha Elections, Maharashtra recorded a low voter turnout of 61.33%. This time, the administration is implementing various initiatives to increase voter participation.

Under the SVEEP programme, the Election Commission is running multi-media campaigns to encourage voters to turn out in large numbers. Additionally, district-level administrations are undertaking voter awareness activities, including door-to-door visits, human chains, morning processions or Prabhat Pheri, street plays, flash mobs, bicycle and bike rallies, marathons, voter oaths, and various competitions. The Central Bureau of Communication has arranged a Voter Awareness Van to spread awareness about voting procedures, polling station locations, and the model code of conduct.

To further boost voter turnout, the Chief Electoral Officer of Maharashtra launched a state-level voter awareness programme on 8th November at the iconic Gateway of India in Mumbai. The event was attended by a distinguished group of dignitaries and celebrated public figures including Rohit Shetty, Ajinkya Rahane, Varsha Usgaonkar, and Bharti Singh, and Transgender Rights Activist Gauri Sawant. Interestingly, the Mumbai chapter of the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) has announced a special incentive called the “Democracy Discount”, which promises voters a 20% discount at select restaurants across the city.

A special focus is also being placed on districts such as Thane, Mumbai Suburban, Mumbai City, and Pune, where voter turnout has been consistently low. Given the abysmal voter turnout in these districts, the Election Commission of India has granted special permissions to make arrangements to tackle the challenge of urban apathy this election season.

Speaking to our correspondent about these arrangements, Chief Electoral Officer of Maharashtra, S. Chockalingam, said:

Additionally, the Election Commission is making comprehensive efforts to reach out to the most remote areas of the state. These areas are so remote that they can only be accessed by barge. Polling parties will reach these stations a day in advance. Considering the possibility of cyclonic conditions developing in the area, the voting timing here has been revised to 7 AM to 3 PM.

It is said that elections are a festival of democracy, where the citizens of the country exercise their right to franchise. Ankita Apte, for Parikrama, from Mumbai.

PM Modi during his arrival in Rio and had a recital of Vedia Mantra as one of the cultural program performed for the welcome of the Prime Minister. Prime Minister had only words “Sundaram Sundaram“ to commend the recital. This recital was by the disciples of Acharya Vidyasagar and Acharya himself.

Acharya Jonas Mesitte or Acharya Vidyasagar is a Sanskrit Scholar living in Rio De Janeiro, and running an organization called Vishvavidya. His organization targets to teach Vedanta, Bhagwat Gita and Sanskrit to Brazilians and Western World. Presently, he has a following of 5,00,000 and an audience of more than 1 million people on various social media platforms. He is working towards building his first Gurukulam in Brazil. 

It may be remembered that in the year 2020, during monthly radio program ‘Mann Ki Baat,’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi put the spotlight on Acharya Jonas Masetti. He praised him for teaching Vedanta and the Bhagavad Gita in Brazil.

Brazil is known as the land of great beaches, parties, Samba and  a lot of music. Finding a Brazilian living a Vedic lifestyle may look like an anomaly. But for Swami Vidyasagar Vedic culture is a way of life now. For Parikrama, Sakshi Singh, Brazil

सिंहासन हिल उठे राजवंशों ने भृकुटी तानी थी,

बूढ़े भारत में आई फिर से नयी जवानी थी,

गुमी हुई आज़ादी की कीमत सबने पहचानी थी,

दूर फिरंगी को करने की सबने मन में ठानी थी।

चमक उठी सन सत्तावन में, वह तलवार पुरानी थी,

बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी,

खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।। -सुभद्रा कुमारी चौहान

रानी लक्ष्मीबाई का बचपन में ‘मणिकर्णिका’ नाम रखा गया परन्तु प्यार से मणिकर्णिका को ‘मनु’ पुकारा जाता था। विवाह के बाद इनका नाम ‘लक्ष्मीबाई’ हुआ।
