The Mission authorities are also setting up a museum and memorial to Gandhiji at the Noakhali ashram. In West Bengal, the central government is restoring the building of Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya at Barrackpore. Once the building is restored, the Mission will also set up a new museum at the Barrackpore memorial.

The Gandhi Ashram, as the nodal agency of Gandhi Heritage Mission, is preparing a restoration programme for 39 sites associated with Bapu. The Mission and its architecture division teams led by CEPT members of faculty Neelkant Chaya, Mrunal Panchal and Riyaz Tayyabzi have already visited Delhi, Rajasthan, Porbandar, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune and Rangpur.

Bapu's daily life: The Gandhi Heritage Mission has prepared details of Gandhiji's daily location. The Mission is now trying to collect more information about what Gandhiji did on which day the speeches (if any) he delivered on a particular day, the events he was associated with and the people he met that day. The Mission authorities are also trying to identify places from where Bapu wrote had written different letters.

Phone App: The Gandhi Heritage Site Mission has developed a phone application (app) that provides a virtual tour of sites associated with Bapu. The app will soon be available at Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad too. (It may be mentioned that the Gandhi Ashram already provides visitors a virtual tour of Manibhavan and other sites.) The Sabarmati Ashram Preservation and Memorial Trust has also developed for Gandhi Ashram a mobile phone app which is compatible with android phones as well as iPhones. It will provide the complete history and have visuals of every place in the Sabarmati Ashram. For example, when a visitor enters Magan Nivas at the Ashram, he will get to know beforehand on his phone or tablet what he is going to see, and its historical background with visuals.

Orissa girl who delivered baby in school shifted to hospital

Posted: at 10:49 pm


KORAPUT: After the shocking news of a Class VI girl student delivering a baby in an ashram school hit the headlines, the tribal girl and her five-day old infant have been admitted to Koraput district headquarters hospital here.

The 12-year-old girl is a student at the Umuri Ashram School, a residential school meant for SC/ST students, under Jeypore block of tribal-dominated Koraput district in Odisha.

"A team visited the girl's home at Upper Kanti village under Semiliguda block and shifted the mother-infant son duo to the hospital yesterday. They are under medical supervision and their condition is stable," Koraput District Collector Yamini Sarangi said today.

"The child weighs 1,585 grams. As he is underweight, we have kept him in the SNUC and his condition is stable. We expect the child will gain weight in the next week and till then he will be under observation," Chaya Kanta Gouda, paediatrician at the hospital, said.

Doctors said the mother is also being administered saline as she is very weak.

Though the girl had delivered the baby in the hostel on February 4, the officials concerned had allegedly sought to suppress the matter and sent the girl and her newborn home without informing the administraton.

The matter came to light on Saturday evening after the district collector received a complaint and ordered an inquiry.

The headmaster of the school, Kailash Charan Brahma, and hostel Superintendent Sabita Guru, who were arrested on Sunday on charges of negligence, were granted bail at the session's court of Jeypore yesterday.

"The court granted bail with Rs 10,000 surety each," said Muna Singhlal, counsel for the headmaster and the hostel superintendent.

Police are yet to arrest the culprit who allegedly raped the minor girl in her village. "The accused is absconding. We are on the job," said Jeypore SDPO Rajendra Senapati.

China accuses Dalai Lama of ‘profaning’ Buddhism by signalling end to reincarnation

Posted: at 10:49 pm


A bizarre dispute involving the Dalai Lama and the Chinese Communist Party has broken out at China's annual meeting of parliament.

Tibetan Buddhists believe the soul of a senior lama is reincarnated in the body of a child on his death.

But the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader has suggested he will not be reincarnated when he dies, prompting atheists of the Communist party to demand the tradition must continue.

The message was conveyed at a meeting on the sidelines of the China's National People's Congress in Beijing.

The head of Tibet's regional congress, Padma Choling, said that the Dalai Lama has to return, just as he has done for generations.

"Whether [the Dalai Lama] wants to cease reincarnation or not ... this decision is not up to him," Mr Padma said.

"When he became the 14th Dalai Lama, it was not his decision.

"He was chosen following a strict system dictated by religious rules and historical tradition and also with the approval of the central government.

"Can he decide when to stop reincarnating? That is impossible. What he wants is to distort reality. It's impossible in my view. Tibetan Buddhism follows tradition. If he goes ahead with this there will be division."

This debate has nothing to do with Buddhism and everything to do with power.
