No More Excuses DEAR Brisbane Indian Times reader, it is with great joy we bring to you the word of God. God wants to do new things in your Pastor Joseph Dass life but are you letting excuses hold you back. You will ¿QG JRRG UHDVRQV WR PDNH H[FXVHV due to unfair situations or people, but often, excuses won’t do you any good.

While we all need to make wise decisions, could it be that you are missing out on opportunities and breakthroughs due to excuses?

In the scriptures, we read (Luke 14: 1524) of a man who sent his servant to inform the invited guests that supper was ready. But they all with one accord began to make excuses.

7KH ¿UVW VDLG WR KLP ³, KDYH ERXJKW a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.� $QG DQRWKHU VDLG ³, KDYH ERXJKW ¿YH yokes of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.�

Still, another said, “I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.�

When the man heard of their excuses, he was disappointed, and he responded that none of these invited men were to taste his supper.

He was concerned that their attitude of making excuses could contaminate other invited guests.

They were setting themselves up for failure. They accused themselves and could not be trusted.

4 — THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, June, 2019

Finally, they could not take responsibility. Hence, they never made it.

Here are four lessons we can learn about making excuses: 1) You won’t miss opportunities if don’t have excuses. Excuses are the easy way out. When you form a habit of making excuses, you devalue yourself.

2) You can either make progress or make excuses. As long as you are making excuses, you will justify staying where you are. One time Jesus met a crippled man sitting next to a pool for 38 years. When Jesus asked him if he wanted to get healed, the man came up with all the excuses why he was not healed.

He had waited for 38 long years.

He was still sitting beside the pool without making any progress. The pool could not heal him but Jesus did!

3) If it is important to you, you will ÂżQG D ZD\ LI QRW \RX ZLOO ÂżQG DQ excuse. In the scriptures, we read that Moses sent 12 men to spy out the promised land they were headed to.

10 of them came up with excuses on why they should not go there. But to Caleb and Joshua, it was important, and they found a way! Sadly the 10 men with excuses never made it to the promised land.

4) Anyone can say, “I am busy.� But if something is of importance, then it should be on your priority list and not just a part of your “to do� list.

God bless you Ps Joseph Dass

Upcoming Changes to the Points System and Introduction of New Regional Visas THE Australian government is set to introduce key changes to Australia’s immigration points system which will become available in November 2019. Points are awarded to potential visa applicants for categories that are linked to the applicant’s ability to make contributions to Australia’s economy. The changes to the points system are as follows: 15 points for nomination by a State or Territory government agency or sponsorship by a family member residing in regional Australia, to live and work in regional Australia; 10 points for a skilled spouse or de facto partner; 10 points for certain Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics 67(0 TXDOLÂżFDWLRQV SRLQWV IRU D VSRXVH RU de facto partner with ‘competent English’ and 10 points for applicants without a spouse or de facto partner.

As part of these upcoming changes, the Australian government will also introduce 2 new regional (provisional) visas that aim to EHQHÂżW UHJLRQDO $XVWUDOLD 7KH ÂżUVW QHZ YLVD is the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (Subclass 491) which is an enhanced pointstested visa. This visa substitutes the Subclass 489 visa and requires either state government nomination or sponsorship by an eligible family member who is settled in a designated regional area. Applicants will still need to meet the overall points test, age, English language, skills assessment, character and health requirements.

The other new visa is the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (Subclass 494) which is an employer-sponsored visa. This visa substitutes the Subclass 187 visa and will no longer provide upfront permanent residency. This new visa requires the applicant to live and work in regional Australia for three years in order to be eligible for permanent residency. Applicants must still be nominated by an employer in regional Australia and meet age, English language, skills assessment, work experience, character and health requirements.

The new permanent residence visa that will be introduced is the Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa (Subclass 191). To meet the requirements of the Subclass 191 visa, applicants will need to hold one of the

new skilled provisional visas 494 or 491 and demonstrate that they have lived and worked in regional Australia for at least three years, and complied with all the other visa conditions.

Vincent Wybier is one manager, who loves to interact with holidaymakers at his hotel because he says he enjoys meeting people.

Not just in the restaurant over breakfast, but in the lobby and in the great outdoors. He was relaxed in conversation with guests, touching on events of the day, talking about cultural activities and programs and ensuring everyone was ready to enjoy the day ahead.

Vincent told me simply: “I come to work and I feel at home�. Not many of us can say that. It was not surprising to see people seeking out Vincent, asking him questions about the Royal Beach, making conversation about the region’s best tourist highlights, commenting about their early morning breakfast treats or delectable dining experiences.

His cheerful personality immediately puts you at ease. On request, and without hesitation, the congenial GM spent half an hour with me to elaborate on the best that the Royal Beach and Seminyak had to offer. It was obvious that he took pride in the property and in his staff.

It was reassuring to be told that “if we can do anything to make your stay more comfortable, don’t hesitate to let us know�.

It was not only wonderful to meet him, but also refreshingly heart-warming to get to know many of the staff. Their friendly demeanour was beyond expectations. It really is ‘one big happy family’ at the Royal Beach.

I knew why after having met Supi, Yuliani and Ekamulya ... to name three of the many staff I’d become acquainted with during my short stay. That

THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, June, 2019 — 7

Gangasagar – Conuence of River Ganga with the Sea

RECENTLY, my wife and I had an opportunity to visit several sacred sites in eastern India. These included Gangasagar, Dakshineshwar Kali Temple and Belur Math in Kolkata and Baba Baidyanath Dham temple in Deoghar.

Gangasagar is an island in the Ganga delta, about one hundred kilometres south of Kolkata, India. It is also known as Sagardwip or Sagar Island. The River Ganga is fully merged with the sea in the Bay of Bengal at the southern tip of the island. A temple dedicated to Kapil Muni is located at the site. It contains images of sage Kapil, River Ganga, king Bhagirath, Indra and other Hindu deities. Sage Kapil was an incarnation of lord Vishnu. He was the founder of the Sankhya Philosophy, one of the six ancient Hindu philosophical traditions.

Sage Kapil is also associated with the advent of River Ganga on the earth.

According to the legend, king Sagar of ancient Ikshvaku dynasty planned to perform a Rajsuya Yagya. Following WKH FXVWRP D VDFULÂżFLDO KRUVH ZDV released to roam over the earth to demonstrate his unrestricted authority, before the Yagya could be completed.

Indra, the king of deities, was envious of king Sagar’s glories and decided to disrupt his Yagya. He stole the horse and hid it at the Ashram of sage Kapil.

Kapil’s Ashram was at the southern tip of the modern Gangasagar Island, which was believed to be located in the netherworld in ancient times. Sixty thousand sons of king Sagar were following the horse. They found it at Kapil’s Ashram and noticed him in deep meditation. They assumed that sage Kapil had stolen the horse and he was simply pretending to be meditating to deceive them.

They spoke ill of the sage and created an upheaval that led to disruption of the sage’s meditation. Kapil opened his eyes and looked at the troublemakers.

All the sixty thousand sons of Sagar burnt to ashes due to the sage’s anger.

When the horse did not return to the capital, king Sagar sent his grandson $QVKXPDQ WR ¿QG RXW ZKDW KDG happened. On his mission, Anshuman eventually found the horse at Kapil’s Ashram. On enquiry, he learnt that his sixty thousand uncles had perished there due to their misbehaviour with the sage.

Anshuman pleaded with the sage

for a way to emancipate his uncles.

As their proper rites of cremation were not performed, their souls would be roaming as ghosts and hounding the family offspring until they were released from the effect of the anger of the sage.

Sage Kapil became pleased with Anshuman’s candour and advised him that his uncles’ souls would become free if their ashes came in contact with River Ganga. The River Ganga resided in the heaven during that period. Now it was the responsibility of king Sagar to bring River Ganga on the earth.

King Sagar did not succeed in bringing Ganga to the earth.

His grandson king Anshuman and great grandson king Dilip also remained ineffective in bringing Ganga to the earth. It was the king Bhagirath, the son of Dilip, who was able to please Brahma, who instructed Ganga to come to the earth. King Bhagirath DOVR JUDWL¿HG ORUG 6KLYD WR KROG *DQJD RQ KLV KHDG WR WDPH KHU ÀRZ )LQDOO\ Ganga descended on the earth and following the path led by Bhagirath, came to the spot where the ashes of his deceased ancestors were left. By the effect of the contact with Ganga’s water, all sixty thousand sons of Sagar were emancipated.

It was on the Makar Sankranti day when Ganga reached Gangasagar. It is believed that taking a dip at Gangasagar frees a person and his/her ancestors from the cycle of birth and death.

Although pilgrims visit the Gangasagar Island throughout the year, during the Makar Sankranti festival on 14 January, thousands of pilgrims come to take a KRO\ GLS DW WKH FRQĂ€XHQFH RI *DQJD with the sea. A huge fair is organised at the site during this period.

There is a popular saying about Gangasagar. “Sab tirath bar bar, Gangasagar ek barâ€? i.e. all sacred sites can be visited many times but one trip to Gangasagar is enough. It reveals WKH GLIÂżFXOWLHV DVVRFLDWHG ZLWK WUDYHO to Gangasagar due to its remoteness in ancient times. Now, it is well connected with various modes of transport.

We were able to complete the trip to Gangasagar in one day from Kolkata, which involves journey by train or bus, car, ferry and riksa.

Kolkata, the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal, is one of the highly

populous cities in the world. It was the capital of British India until 1911. River Ganga, which is known as Bhagirathi *DQJD RU +RRJKO\ ÀRZV WKURXJK the city. There are many well-known temples and religious institutions located in the city. Among them, Dakshineshwar Kali Temple and Belur Math are its outstanding landmarks.

Both are associated with Ramakrishna and Vivekananda, who made both temples world famous.

Dakshineshwar Kali Temple is located on the east side of the Hooghly River.

Rani Rashmoni, a devotee of Mother Kali and a philanthropist, built the temple. Kali is a manifestation of goddess Parvati, spouse of lord Shiva.

The temple complex is spread over 20 acres and was completed in 1855.

Pandit Gadadhar, who later became famous as Ramakrishna Paramahansa, was the priest at the temple. His wife Sharada Devi also lived at the temple.

Devotees venerate her as Ma Sharada.

Swami Vivekananda visited the temple regularly after he became a disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahansa.

The main temple has an imposing nine-spired top construction. A statue of Mother Kali is installed in the sanctum sanctorum. In front of the main temple, twelve Shiva temples, each dedicated to a Jyotirlinga, are located facing the River as well as the main Kali temple.

One Radha Krishna temple is also located in the complex. In addition, a number of other buildings in the compound serve various spiritual and administrative purposes.

Belur Math is located on the west bank of the Hooghly River downstream of Dakshineshwar Kali Temple. A regular ferry service operates between the two shrines. Belur Math is the dedicated head quarter of Ramakrishna Math and Mission. Swami Vivekananda, the chief disciple of Ramakrishna, founded it. The main building was completed in 1938. The Math complex contains

a number of buildings. The main building has a large hall for sitting and meditation. A marble statue of Ramakrishna Paramahansa is installed in its sanctum sanctorum. Devotees sit RQ WKH ÀRRU PHGLWDWH XSRQ WKH VXSUHPH God and pay respect to the statue of Ramakrishna.

A Ramakrishna museum located in the Math complex displays items associated with Ramakrishna, Ma Sharada, Vivekananda and other heads and scholars related to the Ramakrishna tradition. The Ramakrishna tradition, propagated by Swami Vivekananda, follows Advaita Vedanta. A bookshop in the compound sells religious texts related to Advaita Vedanta as well as on other spiritual and educational subjects.

A shrine dedicated to Vivekananda is also located at the site. In the Math complex, there is a large quiet open space facing the river, which makes it an ideal place for relaxation and spiritual meditation.

On the way from Kolkata to Patna, a well-known pilgrimage site is Deoghar in the Jharkhand state of India. A temple known as Baba Baidyanath Dham Temple, dedicated to a Jyotirlinga of lord Shiva, is located in Deoghar. The Temple site is also believed to be a Shakti Peeth where a limb of mother Sati, wife of lord Shiva fell on the ground during his cosmic dance holding his dead wife. A temple dedicated to Sakti Peeth is also located near the Jyotirlinga temple. In total, there are twenty-two temples in the Baidyanath Dham Temple complex.

A number of legends are popular about the Baba Baidyanath Dham Temple.

According to one legend, the Demon king Ravan prayed to lord Shiva at this VLWH DQG RIIHUHG KLV KHDGV DV VDFULÂżFH Lord Shiva was pleased with his devotion and appeared before him as a Baidya or doctor and cured his injuries arising due to severing of his heads.

Hence Shiva is worshipped as Baidya

and the place is known as Baidyanath Dham.

Another legend relates to Ravan transporting lord Shiva from Kailash Mountain to his capital Lanka. Shiva was to live permanently in Lanka.

Shiva agreed to the proposal of moving to Lanka, provided Ravan carried him without placing him on the earth XQWLO UHDFKLQJ KLV ÂżQDO UHVWLQJ SODFH LQ Lanka.

Deities were alarmed by the idea of the proposed permanent residence of Shiva in Lanka. With the help of sage Narad, they planned a strategy to disrupt Ravan’s journey.

Deities induced a strong need in Ravan to relieve his bladder. Narad appeared as a person near him at that time.

To maintain Shiva’s sanctity, Ravan handed him over to Narad to hold for some time and went to empty his bladder. However, observing the delay in Ravan’s return, Narad placed Shiva on the ground and left. On his return, Ravan found Shiva on the ground.

He pleaded with Shiva to continue the journey with him to Lanka. Shiva reminded him of the condition he had stipulated, prior to agreeing to being transported to Lanka. In the end, Shiva remained put and a temple was built to house him at the site.

During the month of Shravan (July - August), hundreds of thousands of pilgrims known as Kanwarias visit the shrine, and offer water collected at Sultanganj in Bihar from River Ganga to the Shiva’s Jyotirlinga. Being a Jyotirlinga temple, it remains very popular in eastern India. The whole complex was renovated a few years ago but despite improvements made to the site, it remains very crowded throughout the year. Deoghar is well connected by roads and rails to all major cities in India.

Is your life an expression of happiness?

!&,+<8<S 9,!

3<2&!ŕŁ&#x2026;32

ALL those people, who depend on external situations to be happy, will never know true joy in their lives. No matter what kind of a person you are, how powerful you are, even if you are a super human, you

do not have absolute control over the external situation.

Even if there are two people in the family, they do not have total control over the situation. You can manage the external situation only to a certain extent. But your interiority can be taken into absolute control.

There is a certain inner basis to whatever we understand or experience as happiness, love and peace in our lives. One simple way to understand this is: today if you lose your mental peace totally, you go to a doctor. He will give you a pill. If you take this pill, your system will

8 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, June, 2019

become peaceful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; may be just for a few hours, but it does become peaceful.

This pill is just a little bit of chemicals. These chemicals enter your system and make you peaceful. Or in other words, what you call as peace is a certain kind of chemistry within you. Similarly, what you call as joy, love, suffering, misery, fear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; every human experience that you go through has a chemical basis within you. The spiritual process is just to create the right kind of chemistry where you are naturally peaceful and joyous.

When you are seeking happiness through your action, you are always enslaved to the external situation. As long as you are enslaved to the external situation, you will always be in some level of suffering because the outside situation is never going to be 100% in our control. Our own family, our own children, our own businesses, whatever we have, is never in our total control. It is in control only to a certain extent. The UHVW RI LW LV DOZD\V Ă&#x20AC;XLG Âą anything can happen.

But when you do not have to do anything to be happy,

if you are happy by your own nature, then the very dimension of your life, the very way you perceive and express yourself in the world is very different. Now you are no longer a vested interest because whether you do something or you do not do something, whether you get something or you do not get something, whether

something happens or does not happen, you are anyway joyous by your nature. Now your actions will rise to a completely different level.

Yoga is a science of establishing your interiority in such a way that you are naturally peaceful and joyous by your own nature, not seeking it from external situations.

India's best nightlife cities

Interview of Soma Nair with Acharya Balkrishna ji,the CEO of Patanjali Ayurveda YOGARISHI Swami Ramdev ji and Patanjali need no introduction today.

Acharya Balkrishana ji,the CEO of Patanjali Ayurveda is well known for his FRQWULEXWLRQ LQ WKH ÂżHOG RI Ayurveda. He has brought DERXW D UHYROXWLRQ LQ WKLV ÂżOHG by proving the effectiveness of Ayurvedic medicines as per the standards of modern medicine system and thus re-establishing the faith of common man as well as medical practitioners in WKH HIÂżFDF\ RI $\XUYHGLF treatments.

Acharya Balkrishna is a man of versatile personality; a great philosopher, a prodigious social reformer and a philanthropist. His name has appeared in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Forbesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; magazine in the list of rich people of the world and his net worth was estimated at US$6.1 billion as of March 2018.

Soma Nair was privileged to meet him and spend time with him at Hardwar. She had many interviews with this great personality and Ayurvedacharya. One such interview was:

Soma: What is Ayurveda?

Acharya Balkrishana: Ayurveda is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Science of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Most people associate Ayurveda with plants and herbs and herbal medicine only but Ayurveda is much more than that. Ayurveda is everything that we do in our day to day life. Whatever we eat, we do or we think is related to Ayurveda some or the other way. It is a very vast term.

Indian way of life is very VFLHQWLÂżF ,W LV D FRPELQDWLRQ of all kinds of knowledge WKDW LV EHQHÂżFLDO IRU D KHDOWK\ and happy living. I think every culture lays emphasis on simple living and healthy life style. Sedentary and stressful life style has given rise to many diseases.

Soma: What do you mean

by Indian way of life?

Acharya Balkrishna: Indians are taught to get up in the morning. Take warm water for cleansing and take shower in the morning. They do yoga and pranayama.

They are taught to begin their day with morning prayers that bring positivity and

10 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, June, 2019

prepare one for the day in a very optimistic way. They are taught to take care of their karmas in every single way.

If you watch closely Indians would say prayers before leaving their home and upon entering their homes back as a gesture of thanks.

What harm can such a life style bring? Think on the FRQWUDU\ ZKR FDQ EHQHÂżW from the opposite kind of OLIH VW\OH" :KR FDQ EHQHÂżW from getting up late, keeping awake till late, eating junk food and not doing any exercise?

Soma: It is not possible for everyone to practice â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;early to bed and early to riseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. People have different shift times and sometimes they work till late

or start late.

Acharya: I know the needs have changed but the health rules remain the same. They are universal. You have to eat right, earn right, think right and exercise in a right way. Yoga and Pranayam are SURYHQ WR EH EHQHÂżFLDO IRU physical and mental health.

Whenever your day starts you can start it with cleansing, exercise and SUD\HUV ,W LV QRW GLIÂżFXOW It is a matter of practice.

Right karmas will yield right results.

Soma: What do you mean

by Karma ?

Acharya : No one can explain Karma better than how Lord Krishna has explained it in Bhagwat

Geeta. Every Karma has a result. Good or bad. No Karma goes wasted. Good karmas have good results and bad karmas have bad results. This applies to health too. If eating wrong kind of food, keeping awake till late at night, not exercising can make you sick. Change your karmas. Eat right kind of food, think right and positive, sleep at a right time and live an active life. You will regain your health.

Soma: Can you cure every disease by making these changes?

Acharya : No, I do not claim that all diseases can be cured.

But for sure, if a disease cannot be cured its degree of severity can be reduced.

Positive thinking, right attitude, help from family and friends can increase mental strength and can surely help in dealing with the diseases.

Soma : Stress is often associated with all kinds of diseases.

Acharaya: Stress is damaging. It comes from the wrong thought pattern.

2QH VKRXOG ÂżQG RXW LWV origin. If it is being caused by undue jealousy, race to become rich and hectic life style. We have to stop and change the thought pattern.

We have to become â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;givingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lovingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; if we want to be happy.

There is no other way.

This session ran for two hours from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm. Many children attended this session despite Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day celebrations.

The session was based on the teachings of HH Bapu Ji which emphasis the need of good sanskars to make lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation sound. The thousands of Bal Sanskar Kendras are already functioning all over India and abroad with the sole purpose of building a bright future for students worldwide.

The way the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character is moulded, and the values and habits taught

Good traits can be taught to kids in playful manner. A child is like a delicate young plant which can be made to grow in any direction. If a young child is inculcated with good traits, he can grow into a banyan tree, competent enough to preserve the glory of rich Indian culture.

The Bal Sanskar and yoga sessions are held free with the main following objectives: To facilitate the development of physical, mental, intellectual, moral and spiritual powers amongst the students.

To develop the memory

and intelligence of the students through various yogic techniques.

According to the ages, the children were split into four JURXSV 'KUXY XQGHU 1DFKLNHWKD

The objective of the camp was to make the children appreciate the greatness of our Hindu Dharma and answer some fundamental questions about Hindu Dharma that children would have. This included interesting facts and knowledge like how the Aryan invasion theory has now been disputed, what are the fundamental principles and beliefs of Hindu or Sanatana Dharma, origin of Hindu Dharma, detailed timeline of the Hindu history from the beginning to the present and much more.

This allowed us to understand our culture DQG SURYLGH D PRUH LQ GHSWK SHUVSHFWLYH Shravan and Gargi groups focused on learning the content at a deeper level. In the morning session, the Gargi group learnt about what constituted Hindu Dharma.

The Shravan group also learnt this content but at a slightly lower level that was appropriate for their age.

Following this session was morning tea and a small break. Afterwards, Yoga was taught to the children of all ages. Since yoga is an important aspect of a Hindu during the ancient times and even now, this activity provided insight on the traditional YDOXHV DQG KHDOWK EHQHÂżWV RI GRLQJ VXFK exercises. The Gargi and Shravan groups 16 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, June, 2019

There was a second information session for the Shravan and Gargi groups. This time the Gargi dug deeper into Hindu Dharma, looking at the ten Vedic practices, which are Niyama, and ten Vedic restraints, Yama.

These demonstrated the ethics and beliefs a Hindu respects and performs in everyday life. Each Yama and Niyama were explained to the children to the point where they could explain it themselves! The main concept of these discussions were to reinforce the knowledge thoroughly into the minds of these children, to help them remember and put into practice the beliefs and traditions taught. Along with learning the Niyamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and <DPDÂśV WKH *DUJL JURXS WRXFKHG RQ EULHĂ&#x20AC;\ about the Vedas and Yugas. Following this, we learnt about the importance of various religious practices such as performing pujas as a way of worshipping God. Various symbols or symbolic objects were explained such as the Shankh or Diya including the importance behind it. The main scriptures explained and discussed included the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharvana Veda. Other holy scriptures such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana were mentioned. The ways to achieve or attain God were explored and showed the many options to reach the ultimate goal. The Dhruv and Nachiketha Groups focused on the Hindu symbols, Hindu scriptures and Shlokaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This session followed into lunch.

Yum! In the afternoon session, the contribution of Hindu Dharma to science was explored.

These included the astronomy, engineering, contribution to mathematics, and medicine.

The Gargi and Shravan groups combined for a special project. The children built their RZQ YHUVLRQ RI WKH ¾œ0DJLF .ULVKQDœœ -DU which was built many hundreds of years ago by our predecessors.

Dhruv and Nachiketha groups also presented what they have learned including shloka and showed their parents the Trishul and Diya which they made as a craft work.

Bala Samskar Kendra organised this camp to educate young children about their Hindu heritage and practises. Growing up in a foreign country, knowing our culture is essential. Through the camp, many bright minds have learned many interesting concepts, making this day camp a huge success.

The Bala Samskar Kendra is part of the Vishva Hindu Parishad of Australia Inc., (http://www.vhp.org.au/).

The BSKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objective is to teach children (ages 5 to 15) about the values of the Hindu Dharma, scriptures, Samskrit and shlokas for every day chanting.

Singh is passionate about caring for all pets big and small.

future behavioral problems requiring medications.

In this article she will give you some handy tips on how to look after your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health without creating a big dent in your wallet.

Prevention is pennies compared to treating SDUYRYLUXV KHDUW ZRUP or some other ugly upper respiratory diseases.

Control your petsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diet Measuring food and matching to your petsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs today allows you to save money in the long run.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not starving your cat or dog if you pick the right food and give the right amount. Controlling your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight means you spend less on medical bills for health issues resulting from obesity. Keeping your pet away from people food also means you avoid a lot of gastrointestinal issues, some of which can result in serious hospital stays.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also save money on dog food by controlling how much they eat so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t literally eat you out of house and home.

The one caveat is, your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutritional needs can and will change over time, from puppy and kitten to adult to older to senior.

Check in with us if you ever have questions or see any changes in what or how much your pet is eating.

Keep your cat indoors This can help protect your feline friends from a multitude of hazardsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; cars, feline leukemia, intestinal parasites DQG ÂżJKWLQJ ZLWK RWKHU cats, to name a few. These all result in visits to your veterinarian. Yes, your cat can still sneak out the door and encounter sick or aggressive cats, and can pick up intestinal parasites in other ways, but indoor living is safer.

(And, yes, even for indoor cats, we may recommend intestinal parasite preventives. Even if they stay indoors, they can be affected.)

Always use a leash on your dog outdoors Keeping your pet under control (along with training) keeps them from getting hit by cars and out of violent altercations with other animals.

Train your dog Start your dog off with SURSHU FODVV UHODWHG training, which leads to a ZHOO VRFLDOL]HG GRJ DQG decreases the possibility of

Get your pet spayed/ neutered Avoid unwanted pregnancies, male dogs roaming and getting lost or hit by cars, prostate issues, aggression issues, territorial marking or humping. Those are all things that can be much more expensive than a spay or neuter.

Get your petsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teeth cleaned Now, hear me out: I know proper dental prophylaxis (a fancy word for a serious cleaning like you get at the dentist yourself) requires anesthesia, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not cheap.

Get pet insurance Yes, it can be pricey, but trust us: Veterinarians every day hear from clients who wish theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gotten insurance policies for their pets before a costly illness or accident happened.

See something, make an appointment If you notice a problem with your pets, get them in

The Mt Gravatt Show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Best Little Country Show in the Cityâ&#x20AC;?

The Mount Gravatt Show Society is excited to welcome you along to the 104th annual Mt Gravatt 6KRZ WR EH KHOG RQ WK WK July, 2019, at the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds.

The Mount Gravatt Show has been held at our current Showgrounds located on Logan Rd VLQFH DQG LV KRVW WR D QXPEHU of local historical buildings. Most notably, the Memorial Hall can be

seen towering high on the hill. It was originally built in 1931 as the 6WRFN DQG 6WDWLRQ $JHQWVÂś RIÂżFHV at the Cannon Hill Saleyards. It was then transported, refurbished and reopened at the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds in July 1994.

In the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a decision was made by the city council for the Showgrounds to be sold to make way for retail spaces and development. In response,

the local community rallied behind the Mt Gravatt Show.

After a decade of court action, the community succeeded in their actions, ensuring the Showgrounds remain available for the annual Mt Gravatt Show, and to be a place of recreation for the local community.

In 2016 the Mt Gravatt Show was recognised in the Lord Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australia Day Awards

and received the accolade of â&#x20AC;&#x153;2015 Community Event of the Yearâ&#x20AC;?.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show will be packed full of excitement. It will feature all Horse events and Show Jumping, Cattle & Sheep, Donkeys, Goats, WKH :RRG &KRS FRPSHWLWLRQ Animal Nursery and Educational Pavilion, Showbags, Amusement rides, Cooking demonstrations, an Outdoor Stage Program, Fashion Parade, Baby Show and Arts &

Scrutinising India in new book India @ 2070 THERE are around 45 Million people of Indian diaspora around the world. Most of them maintain their connections with the land where they came from and make all efforts to visit their families and friends in India regularly.

They are known for continuing with the cultural practices through numerous cultural associations scattered all over the world.

Overseas Indians are also known for contributing heavily for the economic development of India by way of investments and supporting political parties they have known

during their time in India.

Jose Puttanani is an Indian born Australian currently living in Australia since 2007.

He arrived in Australia to work on construction projects and has now settled in Brisbane, working with QLD government.

All At Sea On How To Live How should we live nowadays? Where can we look for moral guidance? Our once most trusted institutions i.e. churches , banks, Councils , Parliaments and Cricket Australia have let us down.

When we add to this all those individuals struggling with social media and other addictions/abuses , our society seems to be all at sea.

Is advancing secularisation a cause of these problems, or a ray of hope? Arguably, popular culture looms increasingly large in contemporary moral guidance, from Happy Potter (the Harry Potter Alliance) to superhero films.

indian news

Narendra Modi Cabinet: Amit Shah gets Home and Nirmala Sitharaman is Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst full-time woman Finance Minister INDIAN Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced his new cabinet, which includes Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veterans such as Amit Shah and Nitin Gadkari and at least one surprise pick, former foreign secretary Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.

Mr Modi was sworn in 30Th May along with 58 members of his new government. But their portfolios were only announced on 31s tMay. +HUH DUH ÂżYH WDNHDZD\V from Mr Modiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new cabinet.

There is one surprising choice - and many unsurprising ones A 64-year-old retired bureaucrat - well-known for his crucial role in Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign policy under Mr Modi - has become the new foreign minister.

And this is unusual cabinet posts are highly coveted and tend to go to party loyalists or important coalition allies. Rarely does

a bureaucrat make the cut.

But Mr Jaishankarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is no ordinary resume - a career diplomat, he has served as Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambassador to both the US and China, among other countries He is widely considered a tough negotiator and is credited with diffusing tensions with China in 2017 over the Doklam plateau, a border standoff that lasted several weeks.

He also played a major role in brokering the historic India-US nuclear deal during the prime ministership of Manmohan Singh. In fact, Mr Singh, who attended the swearingin ceremony, was one of the ÂżVW SHRSOH WR FRQJUDWXODWH him as he stepped off the stage after taking the oath.

Apart from Mr Jaishankar, the other appointments were largely expected.

The biggest one involved Amit Shah, a close aide of Mr Modi since his early days in politics, who has been made the home minister. Speculation had

been rife and, as it turns out, right.

Mr Shahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment only formalises what has long been talked about - the 54-year-old BJP president LV WKH PRVW LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQWLDO politician in the party after Mr Modi.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen as the man who scripted the BJPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thumping wins in 2014 and 2019 and who helped the party make inroads in states such as West Bengal where they barely had a presence earlier.

There were some 23;!#ÂĄ' '?$'6ŕŁ&#x2026;329 Modi 2.0, as it has been dubbed by the Indian media, lost two veteran politicians LQ IRUPHU ÂżQDQFH PLQLVWHU Arun Jaitley and former foreign minister Sushma Swaraj who opted out because of poor health. %XW VRPH NH\ ÂżJXUHV IURP the previous administration were also dropped - such as Maneka Gandhi, an estranged member of the

Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, who was a minister in four different BJP governments and the minister for women and child development GXULQJ 0U 0RGLÂśV ÂżUVW WHUP Former civil aviation minister Jayant Sinha is also missing from the new cabinet. He is the son of a former BJP minister, Yashwant Sinha, who has been critical of Mr Modiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government in recent months.

Its men, men and more men More women have been elected to Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 545-member lower house or Lok Sabha this time than ever before.

There are now 77 female MPs, but just six have become ministers, and only three of them have been given cabinet posts.

Former defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman is QRZ LQ FKDUJH RI ÂżQDQFH becoming only the second woman to hold the post after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

34 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, June, 2019

The other two are Smriti Irani, who defeated Congress president Rahul Gandhi in his family seat of Amethi, and Harsimrat Kaur Badal, member of BJPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional ally Shiromani Akali Dal. A bill to reserve 33% of seats in the parliament for women has been languishing for 20 years.

The new cabinet is largely upper caste and has few ministers from the south Nine of the 25 new cabinet ministers are Brahmins, who are at the top of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenacious caste hierarchy.

Despite the fact that 131 seats in the Lok Sabha are reserved for members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, who are among the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vulnerable communities, only 10 of them have been appointed ministers. Even fewer made it to the cabinet.

Only three of the cabinet ministers - Ms Seetharaman,

Mr Jaishankar and Sadanand Gowda - are from ,QGLDÂśV ÂżYH VRXWKHUQ VWDWHV which send 119 MPs to parliament.

One Muslim made the ranks Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, the BJPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Muslim minister, is an MP from the upper house or Rajya Saha, which is not directly elected. A long-time member of the BJP, he has been a minister in the previous government WRR EXW WKLV LV KLV ÂżUVW FDELQHW post. He has been appointed minister of minority affairs.

This should not be too surprising since the new Lok Sabha has just 26 Muslim MPs - three more than in 2014. The BJP contested VHDWV EXW RQO\ ÂżHOGHG seven Muslim candidates.

And none of them won.

Thirty two of the main opposition Congress partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 423 candidates were Muslim - only four of them won.

Muslim political representation in Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament has been

steadily falling. While the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population in India has more than doubled from 68 million in 1981 to 172 million in 2011, the number of Muslim MPs has nearly halved from 49 in 1980 to 22 in 2014.

The contours of the new Modi government were clear after portfolios were announced for the Union Council of Ministers, with BJP national president Amit Shah being allotted the Home Ministry and former Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar being made the External Affairs Minister.

Both new faces immediately also became members of the Cabinet Committee on Security, the most powerful Cabinet sub-committee.

Former Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will be the new Finance Minister and former Home Minister Rajnath Singh will take over as the Defence Minister.

Change at the top Prime Minister Modi has made bold changes in the top four Ministries that form the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), with Mr. Jaishankar being the biggest gainer, having joined the government as a Cabinet Minister and inducted straight into the CCS. However, many other Ministers have retained their portfolios from the ÂżUVW 0RGL JRYHUQPHQW ZLWK some being given additional departments.

Senior Minister Nitin Gadkari continues as the Minister of Road Transport and Highways and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. Ravi Shankar Prasad stays on as the Law Minister, along with Information Technology and

Telecommunications.

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal retains charge of the Ministry with the addition of Commerce, which was earlier held by Suresh Prabhu who has been dropped. Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan retains the crucial portfolio and has been given the additional responsibility of Steel.

Giant killer Smriti Irani, who defeated Congress president Rahul Gandhi in Amethi and was expected to be moved up in the hierarchy, continues with her old portfolio of Textiles, along with Women and Child Development, formerly held

by Maneka Gandhi.

New Ministry One of the major gainers among Cabinet Ministers was former Minister of State for Agriculture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who will head the newly created â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jal Shaktiâ&#x20AC;? Ministry. Mr. Modi had said at the BJPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manifesto launch in April that the Ministry would be a priority area for the new government.

The Agriculture portfolio has been allotted to Narendra Singh Tomar, along with his old portfolios of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj. Allies retain portfolios in new Cabinet Several Ministers from the previous government

retained their portfolios, with some given additional charge.

Thawarchand Gehlot has again been allotted the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, with former Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda being the new Tribal Affairs Minister.

Newly inducted Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nishankâ&#x20AC;? is the new Minister for Human Resources, while Prakash Javadekar has been made the new Minister for Environment and Forests and of Information and Broadcasting. Pralhad Joshi will take care of Coal along with Parliamentary Affairs.

Minister of State with Independent charge, Kiren Rijiju is Sports Minister.

R.K. Singh continues to hold power and renewable energy, while Hardeep Puri has been allotted Civil Aviation.

Among allies, Harsimrat Kaur Badal continues to hold Food Processing, Ram Vilas Paswan stays with Food and Consumer Affairs, Shiv Senaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arvind Sawant will hold heavy industries and Ramdas Athawale continues as junior Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment.

Prime Minister Modi will himself hold the portfolios of Department of Personnel and Training, Atomic Energy and Space.

Greatest Girmit historian, banned from Fiji, awarded Fiji Girmit Legacy Award in Auckland

By Thakur Ranjit Singh

FIJI Girmit Foundation of New Zealand has awarded Professor Brij Lal, GIRMIT LEGACY AWARD in Literature - Sahitya Ratan as 140th Anniversary of Girmit celebration in Auckland on 10 May, 2019.

But this greatest Historian son and his wife are banned from visiting Fiji.

FIJI PUNDIT, in his wisdom, urges Prime Minister of Fiji, to rise up to the occasion in gifting Fiji Girmitiya descendants the most valuable gift they wish for as 140th Anniversary token - to allow this proud son of Girmit back to his country of birth, which, through his research and writings, he placed on international pedestal.

We plead, Frank Bainimarama, to shed the milk of human kindness, which you have in abundance, and gift Fiji it most respected Girmit historian son-PROFESSOR BRIJ VILASH LAL.

PLEASE GIVE US THIS 140TH ANNIVERSARY GIRMIT GIFTâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Ś Please read on FIJIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Prime Minister has made outstanding speeches during 140th Girmit Anniversary. Very commendable. However, there remains a huge blackspot, and an act of betrayal that appear to border on vindictiveness.

And that is ban on Professor Brij Lal to Fiji.

Those Girmit speeches would will continue sounding hollow and pointless, bordering on hypocrisy unless Fiji Government adopts attitude of humility, humbleness and forgiveness by allowing Fijiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most celebrated historian son, Professor Brij Vilash Lal (and his good wife) back into the country of his birth which he placed on international spheres through his excellent research and commentary on Fijiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Girmit history.

And that greatest Fiji

Historian was awarded Girmit legacy Award in Literature, Sahitya Ratan

by Fiji Girmit Foundation of New Zealand at 140th Girmit Thanksgiving Day in Auckland on 10 May, 2019. This was a day before Bainimarama gave his illustrious speech on Girmit in Fiji. Extremely commendable, but all will come to naught unless this great Girmit contributor is allowed back into his country of birth.

And also, as the Foundation request is pending with Fiji Government, TO ALLOW 14 MAY AS GIRMIT THANKSGIVING DAY PUBLIC HOLIDAY in Fiji. While we await humane gesture on Girmit by Bainimarama, nevertheless, Girmit Foundation in New Zealand commenced recognising Girmitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s outstanding children.

Fiji Girmit Foundation New Zealand decided to introduce Girmit Legacy Awards because there has been no such recognition for Fiji Indians overseas who tended to get statistically diluted and lost in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indianâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Asian â&#x20AC;&#x153;categories.

Therefore, only a Girmit (indenture) organisation, vested with taking care of Fiji Indians could really appreciate, value and recognise their gems. Therefore Girmit Legacy Awards are there to recognize the achievements of the descendants of Girmitiyas for bringing pride, joy, sense of belonging and social cohesion to what Girmitiyas have bequeathed us: A distinct Fiji Indian race, with a distinct language, culture and attachment to Fiji - and while rooted in India, being D GLVWLQFW 3DFLÂżFD SHRSOH The Chief Guest for Girmit Thanksgiving in Auckland, a Girmitiya son, New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Governor General, Sir Anand Satyanand, observed the enigma of Indian heritage: Guyanian, Sir Sridath (Sonny) Ramphal, erstwhile

36 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, June, 2019

Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, described Indian cultural heritage, in his own instance as being like a seed from a tree growing in India being taken across the seas and growing with encouragement from a VHHG DJDLQ WR Ă&#x20AC;RZHU LQ WKH Caribbean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, being different but maintaining the essence of Indian origin.

Same applies to Fiji Indians who were honoured. A VHHG IURP ,QGLD Ă&#x20AC;RZHULQJ in Fiji, and taken to other countries, maintaining the essence of Indian origin, but still being a Fijian.

What Girmitiyas have done is to give us a rich and inspiring legacy.

And through that Fiji has produced outstanding people that have become role models to inspire others and ensure the hard work, spirit, values, and legacy of Girmitiyas continue to live in action every day.

And when we speak of such legacy left by Girmitiyas in keeping their history alive, one name comes to our mind.

When talking about promotion of Hindi Language through Ramayan, we sing: sach mano Tulsi na hote toh Hindi kahin padi hoti. If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for Tulsidas in promoting Hindi through Ramayan, the language may have been lost.

Similarly, when speaking about Girmit (Indenture) history, we can say: Sach mano yeh Professor na hote toh Girmit ki itihas kahi chipi hoti. If we did not have this Professor, History of Fiji Girmit would still be missing from history books.

Yes, and that Professor is a simple, short person, but of very high stature, Professor Brij Vilash Lal from Labasa, Fiji (now Brisbane, Australia).

He was announced as recipient of Girmit Legacy Award 2019 in the Literature Category â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Girmit Sahitya Ratn.

(Professional Wellington

A League Footballer, Roy Krishna received sports award-story to follow) Professor Lalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award citation read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girmit is our foundational history, which was gradually being lost with the passage of time. However, had it not been for Professor Brij Vilash Lal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a descendant of the Girmitiyas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the very words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Girmitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Girmitiyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would have been lost forever.

In fact, there was a real danger of us losing the entire Girmit history, had it not been for Professor Brij Lal, a world-renowned VFKRODU RQ 3DFLÂżF DQG Girmit history who singlehandedly retrieved and restored our foundational history. He removed the stain linked to the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girmitâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girmitiyaâ&#x20AC;? and turned them into jewels of our history that we have come to treasure and embrace.

Professor Lalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work spanned various disciplines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from history, biography to political commentaries and compiling an encyclopedia.

He is regarded by his peers as the most eminent scholar in the school of humanities and social sciences Fiji has

ever produced and remains one of the most highly acclaimed intellectuals of Fiji - a proud descendant of the Girmitiyas.

Professor Lal makes us, the descendants of the Girmitiyas, very proud through his achievements.

His most memorable quip, which is fondly quoted is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Girmitiyas were ordinary people, who achieved extraordinary feats in extraordinary circumstances.â&#x20AC;?

What Professor Lal has achieved through his writings is to give voiceless people a voice, place and purpose, a sense of dignity and inner strength that comes from never giving XS QR PDWWHU KRZ GLIÂżFXOW the circumstances.

He strongly believes that history belongs to the victor as much as it belongs to the vanquished. And through his scholarship, LQLWLDWLYH DQG VDFULÂżFH KH KDV ÂżOOHG WKH EODQN SDJHV of our Girmit history.

He is author of some 40 book now, if not exceeding this number. For such a long list of achievements, we concede that no award is DGHTXDWH WR WUXO\ UHĂ&#x20AC;HFW WKH depth of our appreciation.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, Professor Lal, in his long and illustrious academic career, would have received many, many awards, recognitions and commendations for his H[FHOOHQFH LQ KLV ÂżHOG IURP many sources.

But this is unprecedented as it comes from his own people, and from an organisation, Fiji Girmit Foundation NZ, which represents people he has given a name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Girmit.

To make it sweeter, he was the Chief Guest at the Foundation in Auckland in 2014. And Bainimarama can even make it sweeter by rising up to allow Professor and his good wife back in Fiji as Fijiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 140th Anniversary gift to one of Fijiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most celebrated Girmit son.

Indeed, it is a pride for him to be honored by children of Girmit - whose history he kept alive. It is now left on Fiji government honour the son who kept alive the memories, and feats of Girmitiyas.

Thank you Tehlia for your support answering my queries, with organising repair quotes and all the other behind the scenes admin bits I sense you do helping Usha. You guys make a formidable team.” – M. Gambale

I couldn’t be more delighted with the service I received from Usha and so pleasant to deal with. She also always answers her mobile - what a change to be able to speak to your representative immediately instead of receiving a recorded message.

TAIGUM HOME - IDEAL FOR EXTENDED FAMILY

“THANK YOU USHA for always being on the ball, liaising with Lawrence, diligently attending to follow ups, keeping track of repairs and maintenance matters, guiding us through the maze of real estate sales requirements and then securing the sale especially with the extra pricing. It has been a pleasure to deal with you.

“I WOULD LIKE TO THANK USHA for the quick and efficient sale of my home. I tried a couple of real estate agents to be left very disappointed. Usha was very quick to secure the deal and follow it up.
