Timeless Galle Face grandeur evident in Colombo, Sri Lanka

By Rama Gaind NO VISIT to Sri Lanka is complete without staying in one of Asia’s most historic hotels – Galle Face Hotel. The majestic hotel, built in 1864 in Colombo, has been recently restored back to its former glory. The well-known landmark, along the seafront, faces the famous Galle Face Green and has embarked on an exciting new era, creating engaging, immersive experiences that resonate with old and new generations of travellers. The hotel is unique in Asia’s hospitality industry and has been owned by the one family for more than a century. It is also passionately independent, having repeatedly resisted approaches from many top international hotel brands. According to the hotel’s owner, Sanjeev Gardiner, there’s an exciting journey ahead as “we want to create a brand that respects the past while looking ahead to the future�.

The Question of Pride DEAR reader, it is with great joy we bring to you the word of God. In life, we will all have to deal with the spirit of pride. The word of God reminds us Pastor Joseph Dass not to walk in pride but humility. One meaning of the word for favour is having an advantage. When we walk in humility, the scripture says, that God’s favour goes before the humble giving us an upper hand. The question is “do you want more favour or more disfavour.� Pride is an inwardly directed emotion that can easily offend others and makes one feel a sense of superiority over others. It can affect our health and relationships. The scriptures tell us that disgrace and destruction follow pride. It often leads to envy and strife. While it is not easy to give up pride, the good news is God loves people even if they are proud and has healing in store for them. This is what happened for Naaman. In the scriptures we read of, Naaman (2 Kings 5 v1-14) the commander-in-chief of the Syrian army. He was honourable, a mighty man of valour yet a leper. After receiving a message that a prophet from Israel could cure him, he left to go there. Naaman came up and stood in front of Elisha the prophets, house. A servant of the prophet came out and relayed the prophet’s message telling him to go and wash seven times in the River Jordan. Naaman was furious, after all he was the army commander of Syria and, at that time, Israel including their king, feared them. He was expecting the prophet to come out and meet him and wave his hand

over him so he could be healed. Even more upsetting was for him to be told to go and dip in the river Jordan, which was like a small thing and very humiliating. He was ÂżOOHG ZLWK UDJH VSRNH DQJULO\ DQG EHJDQ to walk away, but then his servants asked him to let go of his pride and be willing to do a small task of going into the river and dip seven times. Finally, he did so, went down into the river, dipped seven times and was healed immediately of his leprosy. Though Naaman was a proud man, God still loved him and healed him. Here are 3 things we can learn from Naaman. 1. Your life does not get better by chance. It gets better by change. Naaman could not just wish his condition change. He had to believe that God loved him and wanted him healed. On his part, Naaman had to believe and walk in obedience. 2. Pride focuses on who is right. Humility focuses on what is right. Once Naaman let go of himself being right and embraced on what was right, he was able to humble himself enough to go down into the water and wash seven times. 3. Sometimes it’s the small decisions that can change your life forever. When you swallow your pride and say, “This may not make sense, but I’m going to do what God is asking me to do.â€? Your promotion, your healing, your breakthrough, the next level, it’s in your humility. Naaman let go of his pride, obeyed the prophet, and was completely clean and healed. That was God’s favour giving Naaman an advantage. God bless you, Pastor Joseph Dass

Updated Student Visa Assessment Levels THE Department of Home Affairs has UHFHQWO\ XSGDWHG WKH 6LPSOLÂż HG 6WXGHQW 9LVD Framework (SSVF). The primary objective of this framework is to assist and incentivise education providers to recruit genuine students who are less likely to have negative immigration outcomes. SSVF basically looks at the past performance of Education Providers in respect to students recruited from various countries and allocates a provider rating each combination. The purpose of this rating to reward institutions that recruit genuine students and penalises institutions that recruit non genuine students. The non-genuine category of students include applicants who have fraud-related refusals, non-fraud related refusals, on-shore immigration ‘trailing’ risks, rate of visa cancellations, over-stayers and subsequent protection-visa applications. Although DHA has not publicly released a schedule of institution rankings, information publicly available on DHA website indicates 18 public universities are rated the top Level One, 17 are at Level Two. On the country-side, the big downgrade has seems to have impacted student applicants from India & Nepal. What does this mean in its entirety? Students from India & Nepal coming to study at Level 2 Institutions will have to demonstrate that they meet the minimum English Language Requirements and provide evidence of Financial &DSDFLW\ IRU WKH Âż UVW PRQWKV RI WKHLU OLYLQJ and study and travel costs. Students from India & Nepal coming to study at Level 1 Institutions will continue to enjoy the relaxed processing requirements, where it will be up to the education institution to assess their (QJOLVK DQG Âż QDQFLDO FDSDFLW\ This will imply that Level One institutions may receive a few more Indian and Nepalese applications in the coming months.

Ayurveda !&,+<8<S 9,! 3<2&!ࣅ 32 QUESTIONER: There are different kinds of medicines and treatments available. There is allopathic, Siddha, Ayurveda, Unani and acupuncture. Then there are some who

say no medication at all is needed. Which is better suited to this human body? Sadhguru: It depends on what disease you have. The body does not need medicine, it is only the disease which demands medicine. So depending upon the type of ailment you have, accordingly the treatment should be given. If you have an infection, there is nothing better than allopathy. No other system of medicine can handle infections like allopathy. But if you have chronic ailments,

allopathy is not a good thing to start off with. For an emergency, allopathy is the best. If you are in an emergency state, do not go to an Ayurvedic doctor. You go to an Ayurvedic doctor only when you have time to recover. When your problems are ongoing and evolving, then Ayurveda and other systems are very effective means of treatment. Today, the allopathic system of medicine has become purely symptomatic and chemical based. The treatment is always

about performing surgery or putting chemicals into the body to bring it back to a healthy state. Who gives the medicine is not important. These days, doctors do not even give you the medicine anymore; they only give you a prescription. A chemist, who does not know anything about you, dispenses the medicine. But the Eastern systems of medicine are subjective. It is not just the medicine which is important; who gives the medicine is also very important. That dimension is completely absent in the allopathic system. You can see this distinctly in play especially with Ayurveda. Ayurvedic medicine works

like a miracle in one place, but somewhere else, though somebody is giving the same medicine, it is absolutely no good. Ayurveda is quite a disaster for many people. People have tried Ayurveda and ruined their lives because it may have been given without the necessary subjectivity. This is the reason why Ayurveda today is so inconsistent. If you want to practice Ayurveda, you must be in a certain state because it is not just the chemistry of the medicine that matters. Who gives it is also important. In the past, Ayurveda acharyas had to go through a certain amount of sadhana for their own upliftment, because Ayurveda is

not a system where you can just go to a college and learn to treat people. People who practice Ayurveda must be constantly involved in it, practicing certain self-evolving methods because this is a science that needs a different level of involvement. 5DQNHG DPRQJVW WKH Âż IW\ PRVW LQĂ€ XHQWLDO SHRSOH LQ ,QGLD 6DGKJXUX LV D \RJL P\VWLF YLVLRQDU\ DQG D 1HZ <RUN 7LPHV EHVWVHOOLQJ DXWKRU 6DGKJXUX KDV EHHQ FRQIHUUHG WKH 3DGPD 9LEKXVKDQ E\ WKH *RYHUQPHQW RI ,QGLD LQ WKH KLJKHVW DQQXDO FLYLOLDQ DZDUG DFFRUGHG IRU H[FHSWLRQDO DQG GLVWLQJXLVKHG VHUYLFH

According to the way we live our life, our vitality decreases or develops. Our ancient Rishi Munis had discovered the deepest secrets of life force through yogic vision, insight and subtle observation of life. In our modern lives, realistically, we have gone far away from that knowledge. The present education system is completely indifferent towards the moral values. There is a growing tendency among the today’s youth to blindly imitate western conduct and manners. Consequently, today’s students start leading an unrestrained and indulgent life even as bachelors which results in gradual degeneration. If the foundation of best values is laid in the kids from childhood, then in future they will become the best quality citizens and will brighten the name of the family and country and these sanskars are found in the Bal Sanskar Kendras. Whatever the kids see, whatever they hear, they go in that direction. Watching dirty movies should not deteriorate the lives and high values of our children. In reality, children do not have evil, they learn evil by watching and listening. In fact,

intellect always remains in favour of truth and gentleness. There was a seven-year-old boy named Narendra. He has got religious culture from his parents and grandparents. He was specially motivated from the religious temperament of his mother Bhubaneswari Devi. Always speaking the truth was the ideal of his life. Once when the teacher was teaching in class and some boys were talking among themselves. The teacher scolded them and asked: “Tell me, what I was teaching?� None of them replied, when Narendra’s turn came, he answered well. The teacher asked him to sit down and ordered the other boys to stand but Narendra also stood. On asking, he replied: “Guruji! I was listening to your teaching, but I was also talking like other boys, so I too should stand with them.� Guruji was very happy to see this truth of Narendra. This Narendra later became famous as Swami Vivekananda. The number of students, who ignorantly impair their prime source of energy in body and mind

THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, October, 2019 — 9

BHAGAVAT Puran, also renowned as Bhagavat, Bhagavatam and ShukSagar, is one of the most popular Purans in Hinduism. Purans are sacred texts containing Katha or legends, relating to primordial history, cosmogony with symbolic illustrations of philosophical principles, secondary creation, genealogy of kings and Manvantars or various epochs. There are eighteen Purans and eighteen secondary Purans. Among the eighteen Purans, six are categorised as Vaishnav, six as Shaiv and six as Brahma Purans. Bhagavat Puran is a Vaishnav Puran as lord Krishna, an incarnation of lord Vishnu, is its main theme. Purans were originally written in Sanskrit but their translations in other Indian and foreign languages are available. Bhagavat Puran is divided into twelve Skandhs, books. Each Skandh is subdivided LQWR FKDSWHUV ZLWK VSHFL¿F headings. It consists of eighteen thousand Shlokas, verses. Skandhs 10 and 11 DUH VLJQL¿FDQWO\ ODUJH DQG are fully dedicated to the life and activities of Krishna. Suta Ugrashrava, the famous narrator of mythical stories, responded to queries from sage Shaunak in the sacred Naimishya forest. The dialogue between Suta and Shaunak is the extant version of the Bhagavat Puran. Skandh 1 introduces the narrative. Once sage Shaunak with other intellectuals was performing a long-term religious ritual in the Naimishya forest. During that period, Suta Ugrashrava, arrived there. Sages welcomed him with traditional formalities and acknowledging his scholarship in spiritual and historical knowledge requested him to tell the story of Krishna. Suta agreed and responded to their request. Suta told Shaunak that Shukdev Muni had left a grand narrative known as Bhagavat Puran that FRQWDLQHG PDJQL¿FHQW accounts of Krishna’s glories. He was in the audience when Shukdev, the son of sage Vyas Dvaipayan, narrated it to king Parikshit. It described Krishna’s previous incarnations, his birth, activities and opulence in such a manner that the Bhagavat Puran became an embodiment of Krishna. Suta recited the Bhagavat Puran to Shaunak who along with other sages listened to it with devotion and concentration. Suta narrated the legend about meeting of Narad with four Kumars, Sanak, Sananda, Sanat and Sanatan. During the meeting, Narad informed Kumars about his encounter with Bhakti and

her two frail sons, Gyan and Vairagya. Narad was sad on observing their plight and wanted to help them. On advice of Kumars, Narad arranged recital of Bhagavat for Bhakti and her sons to listen. Kumars recited the Bhagavat and after listening to it Bhakti and her sons were restored to their youth. Suta narrated the story of Gokarna, a pious devotee of Krishna. Gokarna arranged recital of the Bhagavat for emancipation of his wicked brother Dhundhukari. He also arranged its recital for other interested devotees to listen with devotion and concentration for their emancipation. All listeners attained Mukti, liberation. In response to a query from Shaunak, Suta stated that in ancient time, Narad had heard the Bhagavat from his father lord Brahma. Shukdev recited the Bhagavat to Parikshit. Then Gokarna organised its recital and after that, Kumars narrated it for revival of Bhakti, and her sons. 5HDOLVLQJ WKH VLJQLÂżFDQFH of the Bhagavat, once deities tried to acquire it from Shukdev in exchange of Amrit, nectar. Shukdev refused to exchange, equating Amrit with glass beads and Bhagavat with Chintamani, a wish IXOÂżOOLQJ RUQDPHQW Skandh 2 contains background details about composition of the Bhagavat. Vyas, the complier of the Vedas, was feeling discontented even after completing his masterpiece work, the Mahabharat. The wandering sage Narad appeared before him at that moment. After customary welcome and solemn conversation, Narad advised Vyas to write about the grandeurs of Krishna. Narad also told him about his own past life as a son of maidservant but due to his devotion to Vishnu he became sage Narad in his next life.

10 — THE BRISBANE INDIAN TIMES, October, 2019

Inspired by his advice, Vyas composed the Bhagavat Puran. Vyas taught the Bhagavat to his ever-juvenile son, Shukdev. Shukdev had performed severe penance for sixteen years in his mother’s womb before his birth. He was fully free from worldly attachments, and was the most suitable person to acquire the knowledge of Bhagavat. Suta narrated the story of king Parikshit, the grandson of Pandav warrior Arjun. During a hunting session, he mistakenly placed a dead snake on a Muni’s neck. When Muni’s son Shringi learnt about it, he cursed the king to die in a week by snakebite. After being aware of the curse, Parikshit retired to the bank of River Ganga and contemplated his future action in the presence of sages and seers of ancient time. At that moment Shukdev arrived there. Parikshit asked Shukdev what a person who was destined to die in a week should do to obtain salvation. Shukdev responded that such a person should listen to the Bhagavat with devotion and concentration. On his request, Shukdev narrated the Bhagavat to Parikshit in his assembly where sages, deities and ancient seers were present. Suta was also present in the assembly. Shukdev started the narration with prayer to Virat Purush, the greatest cosmic form of God. He told him about the process of creation of the universe. He described twenty-four incarnations of Vishnu. Shukdev continued responding to queries put forward by Parikshit during the course of the sermon. Both Skandhs 3 and 4 contain dialogue between Maitrey and Vidur. In Skandh 3, Uddhav met Krishna just before Krishna was to discard his mortal body. Members of

Yaduvansh, Krishna’s clan, had perished in a fratricidal battle. Uddhav was a friend and devotee of Krishna. He learnt Brahm-vidya, divine knowledge from Krishna and left for Badrikashram to perform penance. On the way Vidur met him and asked Uddhav to teach him the divine knowledge that he had learnt from Krishna. Uddhav expressed his inability to teach him and advised Vidur to go to sage 0DLWUH\ ZKR ZDV TXDOL¿HG to teach him. Vidur went to Maitrey’s hermitage and learnt from him the divine knowledge. Vidur was an adviser of Kuru king Dhritrastra. Maitrey told Vidur about the beginning of Srishti, creation, incarnation of Varah, Daksh’s daughter Diti, Dwarpalak gatekeepers Jay and Vijay of the mansion of Vishnu, sage Kardam and his wife Devahuti and their son Kapil. A large section was devoted to Kapil’s philosophy of Sankhya, Astang Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, heaven and hell, soul and its emancipation. These topics were presented as dialogue between Kapil and his mother Devahuti for her enlightenment. In Skandh 4, stories about Svayambhu Manu and his daughters and their lineage were described. 0DQX ZDV WKH ¿UVW KXPDQ of a particular Manvantar, epoch. Legends of Daksh and Shiva, king Dhruv and his descendants, king Ven and Prithu, sons of Prithu, and the Prachetas were narrated in this Skandh. After listening to these legends from Maitrey, Vidur left the hermitage for his next destination. In response to queries from Parikshit, Shukdev continued his narration about various kings born in the subsequent dynasties starting from Manu. Skandh 5 described legends of major kings in the lineage of Manu’s descendants that included

king Priyavrat, Agnidhra, Nabhi, Rishabhdev, Bharat, Jad-bharat, and other kings of Bharat dynasty. Shukdev also described the geography of the earth, measure of various geographical objects, the sun, the moon and planets, other celestial objects, space and the hell. Shukdev recited other stories that related to Ajamil the sinful, the descendants of Daksh, Brihaspati the Guru of deities, Vritasur the demon and Indra, the curse of Parvati and the birth of Maruts in Skandh 6. In Skandh 7, Shukdev narrated the personality of Krishna with reference to his approach to the Mahabharat war. He explained stories of Diti the mother of Daityas - demons, legend of Hiranyakashipu and his son Prahalad, the incarnation of Vishnu as Narsinnha-dev, his sermon to Prahalad. Prahalad’s prayer to Narsinnha-dev was recounted. Dharma, the duty of a person of different stages and Varna, and moksha the emancipation of soul were described in this Skandh. Skandh 8 contains description of various Manvantars. Legend of Gaj and Grahya, Elephant and Crocodile, Churning of Ocean, Distribution of nectar by Mohini a form of Vishnu, Illusion of Shiva due to Mohini form of Vishnu, demon king Bali and incarnation of Vishnu as Vaman the dwarf were described in this Skandh. Shukdev continued description of the descendants of Vaivaswat 0DQX WKH ¿UVW KXPDQ RI current epoch in Skandh 9. Stories of kings of Suryavansh, the Solar Dynasty, were detailed in this Skandh. Major personalities included king Sudhyumn, sage Chyavan, his wife Sukanya, sage Durvasa, king Nabhag and Ambrish and kings of Ikshvaku dynasty including Trishanku, Harishchandra, Sagar, Bhagirath and Ram. Story of the arrival of River Ganga on the earth was told in this Skandh. Details of kings of Chandravansh, the Lunar Dynasty, were described in this Skandh. Legends related to ancient personalities such as Parashuram, Vishvamitra, Yayati, Pururva, Dushyant and Shakuntala, Bharat and Rantidev and others were mentioned. Description of Kuru and Magadh kingdoms, other major kings of Bharatvarsh and origin of Yaduvansh were also provided. In Skandh 10, Shukdev

described the tales about reasons for the birth of Krishna, his birth in the prison, his childhood in Gokul and killing of various demons that were sent by Kansa to kill Krishna. He recited about resettling of Krishna’s foster parents Nand and Yashoda in Vrindavan, his childhood pastime, caring of cattle, subduing Kaliya snake, lifting of Govardhan Mountain, Raslila and other activities. Stories about Krishna’s visit to Mathura, killing of Kansa, battles with Jarasandh, moving to Dwarka and Krishna’s involvement in the Kaurav– Pandav war were detailed. Shukdev also described tales of Balaram, Krishna’s elder brother, during his narration. In Skandh 11 Shukdev narrated details relating to destruction of Yaduvansh. Navyogis’ sermon to king Nimi of Mithila was a major section of discourse. Just before Krishna was to die, Uddhav met and requested him to teach the divine knowledge. Krishna taught him through various examples and tales. Krishna’s sermon to Uddhav is famous as Uddhav Gita. In it’s Avadhutopakhyan, sage Dattatrey described various types of teachers. Legends of incarnations of Vishnu are also mentioned. Various philosophical doctrines were expounded. After delivering his sermon to Uddhav, Krishna died from the injury caused by the arrow of a hunter named Jara, the old age. Skandh 12 described the genealogy of kings of the modern age, Kaliyug.

Next Stop London for Local Talent – Binu Rajendran BINDU Rajendran calls herself a “Mohiniattam practitioner”, Mohiniattam is a dance form depicting the feminine form of lord Vishnu, Lord Vishnu took on this form few times in Hindu mythology, specially to defeat evil with the beauty and À DLU E\ FRQWUROOLQJ WKH situation with a “spell like “situation with magical powers. One such instance was when Lord Shiva gave boon to Bhasma Sur and he was given extraordinary power of burning anyone by placing his hand over their head, so once Bhasma Sur got the powers, he wanted to use to destroy Lord Shiva by using his newfound powers on Lord Shiva himself, Lord Vishu’s Mohini form appeared and Bhasma Sur got so attracted to the spell bounding beauty that he forgot Lord Shiva, Bhasma Sur desired Mohini, and Mohini put on a condition that he will have to duplicate her dance then only will she consider him, during the dance Mohini puts her hand on her head and so does Bhasma Sur and rest is history. Bindu who now calls Brisbane home was born and brought up in Dubai, she spent a fair bit of time in New Zealand and obviously India. She had a keen interest in dancing even from her early

childhood, she remembers that she used to get up on the tables and dance, so she always had the dancer/ performer in her. She started taking lessons with Kala Mandalum Mohan in Dubai, where she spent eighteen years mastering the art. While perusing her degree in Delhi she met another remarkable teacher, Asha Singh who taught Bindu a variety of folk dances of India, another turning point in her life as she got married and went back to Dubai where she continued her dancing pursuit, so much so that even when she was seven months pregnant, she was still dancing. Along with the baby came another change, change of country, this time the family was headed to New Zealand, once a dancer always a dancer, so in

New Zealand she met Allision East, senior teaching fellow of Otago university, apart from being a teacher Allison is also a choreographer, according to Bindu, Allison opened her eyes to the breath of the dance all she knew was the depth but was never exposed to the breath of the dance form . Bindu’s Guru, Tara Rajkumar in 1979 founded Akademi as Academy of Indian Dance in London whose mission is to develop artists, inspire audiences and change lives by creating, commissioning and nurturing classical, contemporary, popular and participatory South Asian dance in UK. This year the academy will be celebrating its fortieth anniversary and Bindu has been chosen to accompany her Guru Tara Rajkumar as her main disciple, quite an honour, Bindi will be performing in London for the fortieth anniversary celebrations.

NEW YORK (TIP): GOPIO’s Founding Life Member, former President and Chairman and current Executive Trustee of GOPIO Foundation passed away on September 27 morning at a hospital in the Los Angeles area. GOPIO Treasurer Kewal Kanda informed Dr. Thomas Abraham, Chairman, GOPIO International. Inder Singh was 87. Inder Singh had been instrumental in formation of GOPIO Queensland , he had worked with GOPIO Queensland founder president Umesh Chandra in mapping out the inception of GOPIO Queensland. During his visit on 15th May 2008 when he instructed Umesh Chandra and gave him direction to form GOPIO Queensland. Umesh Chandra took Mr Inder Singh to meet Mr Pras Ram Punj and then together with Jaginder Singh Virk from Sydney they went to meet Dr Maha Sinnnathamby and the then Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale. The way had been cleared for GOPIO Queensland DQG WR FHOHEUDWH WKH ¿UVW GLQQHU

of Interested people was held at Tattersals club in Brisbane , the rest as they say is history. Inder Singh invited Umesh Chandra to be part of GOPIO International team , together they worked on many international conferences and projects, one of the projects was the implementation of the online voting for GOPIO International executives. Inder Singh has been the driving force that has seen GOPIO International through thick and thin, on many occasions he has worked through the nights to prepare of international meeting and to bring about the unity within the team. His wisdom and guidance will be missed. Below is a tribute to Inder Singh ji by Thomas Abraham :A Tribute by GOPIO Chairman Dr. Thomas Abraham to Inder Singh, Past President and Chairman of the National Federation of Indian American Associations (NFIA) and Past President and Chairman of Global Organization of People of Indian origin (GOPIO),

GOPIO’s Founding Life Member, former President and Chairman and current Executive Trustee of GOPIO Foundation has passed away on Sept, 27th, 2019 at a hospital in the Los Angeles area. It was in the late 1981, after I founded Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) in New York and served as its president for 5 years, I saw a news item in India Abroad about Inder Singh who organized an India Independence Day Celebration in Los Angeles area under a platform of India Independence Day Celebration Committee. I called him up and shared our successful experience of bringing all Indian community groups un the New York area under one umbrella of the FIA and suggested him to do so. He immediately changed the group to FIA Southern California and organized the next celebration under that banner. Since then, I had worked with him very closely and brought him into the National Federation if Indian American Associations (NFIA) and organized a very successful

national convention in 1986 in Los Angeles. I handed over the NFIA presidency to Inder in 1988. In the same year, he came to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee against massive military aid to Pakistan. In 1989, when NFIA did the First Global Convention of People of Indian Origin in New York, Inder was NFIA President and was a great team player and travelled to Canada to reach out our community and bring them to the convention. He took over as the President of the Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) in 2004 and served as its Chairman from 2009 to 2016. Later he became the Executive Trustee of GOPIO Foundation till his death. One of the major contribution of Inder in Southern California is launching Indian Heritage Foundation a society that celebrates and honours academic

excellence and achievements of Indian American youth. Since 1987, Inder and his team had honoured Indian American high school students who excelled LQ DFDGHPLF ÂżHOG DV ZHOO DV LQ extracurricular activities. Inder has also been responsible to honour the forgotten Gaddar heroes. He, as President and later as Chairman of GOPIO sensitized India Govt. to organize a symposium on Gaddar heroes and their contribution to the India Independence movement during the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas. He was also instrumental on Govt. of India deciding to renovate and establish Gaddar Centre as a museum in San Francisco. A Republican, Inder, Singh also co-founded the Asian & 3DFLÂżF $PHULFDQ 5HSXEOLFDQV Coalition which became an RIÂżFLDOO\ FKDUWHUHG RUJDQ RI WKH California Republican Party in

the 1990s. In the late 1990s, he was involved with the National $VLDQ 3DFLÂżF &HQWUH RQ $JLQJ :LWK RIÂżFHV LQ PRVW VWDWHV the National Body of Asian Americans caters to the needs of Asian seniors. I have had the longest association with Inder Singh in the Indian community activities. He became an Indian Diaspora Institution in Southern California and whenever, any broad based pan-Indian community event happened in Southern California, it was always under the leadership of Inder Singh. It is a great loss for all of us, GOPIO, Indian community in the USA and the Indian diaspora. May his soul rest in peace. GOPIO Queensland expresses its deepest condolences to the worldwide GOPIO family , and to Inder Singh Jis family, he does leave his legacy behind.

In 2018 Jo Pratt joined the company as the new manager for the station after the resignation of Peter Roweder, upon joining she found these discrepancies, and brought that to the attention of the board. It would be naive to say that the board was not aware of the situation, it was always on the back burner and nothing had been done, well the time had come for the re- tuning. In re-tuning quite a few steps

The new format meant that one-hour SURJUDP EHJDQ DQG ÂżQLVKHG on the hour, not quarter of and hour etc. Despite the inevitable resistance the task accomplished. The major change was the change to the constitution to bring it in line with the company structure, once again a challenges task which had various steps involved, like notices, special general

meeting etc. The board worked through with Jo Pratt and the constitution review committee in following the due process to accomplish this goal. The last step was the by laws which had to be presented at the convenors meeting, then approved by the board to be presented at the annual General held on 29th September at Radio 4EB. New rules introduced included the eligibility criteria for board members, the board members were to represent the interest of the board, they were not there to represent their groups previously group convenors who came on the board, on occasions had a FRQĂ€LFW RI LQWHUHVW DV WKH\ FRXOG not separate themselves from the group and were represent group interest rather than the interest

‘Time on market’ (TOM) is simply the middle number of days between when a property is first listed for sale and the contract date. The rate of vendor discounting is the average percentage difference between the original listing price and the final selling price. The statistics are calculated across results received by CoreLogic over the past week and include properties transacted over the past four weeks. The data is based on private treaty sales only and records without a valid sale price have been excluded from the vendor discount analysis. The analysis also excludes results where there are less than 10 observations.

"Low mortgage rates, and the expectation that they will move lower, along with better affordability, a loosening in credit rules and improved housing sentiment are all factors contributing to the rebound," Mr Lawless said. "A variety of other indicators ... are pointing towards further strength in the housing market, including auction clearance rates, which are continuing

to track around the mid to high 70 range, with the results remaining high on larger volumes." As for why Sydney and Melbourne DUH RXWSHUIRUPLQJ WKH RWKHU FDSLWDOV property markets, Mr Lawless said it was due to their stronger population growth, lower unemployment and strong jobs creation. "Although markets outside of Sydney DQG 0HOERXUQH DUHQ W VKRZLQJ WKH same recovery trend, most areas have either seen a reduction in the rate of decline or are seeing a modest trajectory of growth as low mortgage rates and a slight loosening in credit policy support buyer demand."
