City Council of Rochester (New Hampshire), reportedly for the first time since its incorporation in 1891, will start its day with Hindu mantras on February two, containing verses from worlds oldest extant scripture.

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed will deliver the invocation from ancient Sanskrit scriptures remotely before the City Council of Rochester, largest city in the seacoast region. After Sanskrit delivery, he then will read the English interpretation of the prayers. Sanskrit is considered a sacred language in Hinduism and root language of Indo-European languages.

Zed, who is the President of Universal Society of Hinduism, will recite fromRig-Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use; besides lines fromUpanishadsandBhagavad-Gita(Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures. He plans to start and end the prayer with Om, the mystical syllable containing the universe, which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work.

Reciting fromBrahadaranyakopanishad, Rajan Zed plans to say Asato ma sad gamaya, Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya, Mrtyor mamrtam gamaya; which he will then interpret as Lead us from the unreal to the real, Lead us from darkness to light, and Lead us from death to immortality. Reciting fromBhagavad-Gita, he proposes to urge councilmembers and others present to keep the welfare of others always in mind.

Zed, a global Hindu and interfaith leader, has been bestowed with World Interfaith Leader Award. Zed is Senior Fellow and Religious Advisor to Foundation for Religious Diplomacy,on the Advisory Board of The Interfaith Peace Project, etc. He has been panelist for On Faith, a prestigious interactive conversation on religion produced by The Washington Post; and produces a weekly multi-faith panel Faith Forum in a Gannett publication for over nine years.

Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about 1.2 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in USA.

Rihanna created a huge uproar in India after she tweeted on farmers' protests on Monday.

Rihanna has become a topic of discussion across the nation after her tweet on farmers' protest where she lent support to them. This is not the first time, the pop icon became a topic of discussion, her list of controversies are known to the world. Rihanna, multiple times have found herself in a tongue-tied situation and even issued an apology for a few.

Meanwhile, "Why arent we talking about this?!" Rihanna said in a Twitter post, sharing a CNN article on the demonstrations with her 100.9 million followers on the platform, using the hashtag #FarmersProtest.

Check out a few of Rihanna's controversies which created headlines below:

1/5

Back in 2013, Rihanna did a photoshoot at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre in Abu Dhabi. However, as per reports, the pop star was asked to leave after she clicked a few 'inappropriate photos'. A statement issued by the Grand Mosque Centre read as "She was confronted by the mosque officials and directed to the appropriate entrance to the mosque, to carry out a visit under the normal conditions."

2/5

Just before the Grammys in 2009, the then-couple Rihanna and Chris Brown had an ugly fight in which the latter physically assaulted her. In a documentary, Chris had narrated the incident by stating, "Like I remember she tried to kick me, just like her beating shit, but then I really hit her. With a closed fist, like I punched her, and it busted her lip, and when I saw it I was in shock, I was fu*k, why did I hit her like that? So from there, shesspitting blood in my face, it raised me even more. Its a real fight in the car, and we driving in the street."

Her photos after the assault emerged on the Internet and their ugly breakup became a topic of discussion across the globe.

3. When Rihanna apologised to play an Islamic song at Savage X Fenty lingerie show

3/5

During the launch of her brand Savage X Fenty lingerie show, the event had song 'Doom' being played which has a Muslim text called Hadith in it. This did not go well with people and they called her out immediately.

Soon after, Rihanna issued an apology with a statement which read as "I'd like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out a huge oversight that was unintentionally offensive in our Savage x Fenty show. I would, more importantly, like to apologise to you for this honest, yet careless mistake. We understand that we have hurt many of our Muslim brothers and sisters, and I'm incredibly disheartened by this! I do not play with any kind of disrespect toward God or any religion and therefore the use of the song in our project was completely irresponsible! Moving forward we will make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding."

4/5

Many people thought Rihanna and Eminem's 'Love The Way You Lie' glamourised domestic violence. People slammed the singer after she became the victim of physical violence in the hands of her ex-beau Chris Brown.

5/5

Rihanna's tattoo inked in Sanskrit is on her hip and is a text from Bhagavad Gita which roughly translates to 'forgiveness, honesty, suppression and control'. However, many pointed out that the tattoo is spelt wrong.

From cultural appropriation to Sanskrit tattoo, times when Rihanna created controversies - DNA India

International pop artist Rihanna has been the trending name on Indian Twitter since she posted about the ongoing farmers' protest. Quoting a CNN article, that talked about internet blockage in several districts on the borders of Delhi following violence after the Republic Day tractor rally, the popstar wrote, "why arent we talking about this?! #FarmersProtest".

This tweet by Rihanna immediately created a buzz on social media, with actor Kangana Ranaut calling her a 'fool'. This isn't the first time when Rihanna's tweet on a political issue has generated reactions. Previously, Rihanna had also landed in a controversy for tweeting #FreePalestine, which was swiftly deleted after it started to stir the twitter-verse. She later followed up the tweet with a plea for peace and hope that Israeli-Palestinian conflict resolves soon.

Rihanna, who is one of the most popular pop artists in the world, has had a chequered past. She has often landed in controversies for disrespecting religious sentiments, her music videos filled with sexual innuendoes and sending an incorrect message about domestic abuse.

One of the most recent of such controversies is where Rihanna had to apologise for playing an Islamic song at her Savage X Fenty lingerie show. Media reports claim that the song, titled 'Doom' included a Muslim text called Hadith, which is reportedly the 'most sacred and religious text of Muslims' and is the 'written record of action and sayings of the Prophet Mohammad and his closest companions'. She received tremendous backlash on social media for using the song and had to later apologise for the 'irresponsible' decision to use it, and called it an 'honest yet careless mistake.'

Apart from that, another thing that surely has a mistake in it, are the tattoo-ed words of Bhagavad Gita on Rihanna's hip. Experts have previously pointed out that Rihanna's Sanskrit tattoo, the first part of which means, 'forgiveness, honesty, suppression and control' has been written incorrectly.

Rihanna had also faced flak online for posing in front of Abu Dhabis Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and doing a sultry photoshoot there. Media reports claim that the mosque management asked her to leave after it became apparent that some of the photographs she took were not in compliance with the terms of the mosque.

While Rihanna's music videos garner attention, there are some which were banned for taking things a little too far. In France, for instance, the pop star's song 'We Found Love' was banned for being a little too raunchy', while her video S&M was banned in eleven countries for its sexual innuendos.

However, it was the video of Bitch Better Have My Money that divided feminists across the world, and stirred a fierce debate about feminism, violence and race. One of her most popular songs, Love The Way You Lie, was also panned by many critics for lyrics like 'I Like The Way It Hurts' as many thought that it was inappropriate on Rihanna's part (who herself has been a victim of domestic abuse) to glorify abuse in a song.

Rihanna Has A History Of Creating Trouble: Hurting Religious Sentiments To Getting Banned - News18

Following the official launch of his first book entitledFear-Less, Belfast businessman Tom Smyth has quickly attracted the attention of Grant Cardones organisation, one of the worlds most successful motivational coaching enterprises in the world.

The managing director of Dream Luxury Serviced Apartments and a number of other successful companies used time during the pandemic lockdowns to achieve one his lifes ambitions, to write an inspirational book to help people overcome fear, lack of confidence and achieve anything they set their minds on.

Inspired by his own life and brand, the 46-year-old developed a unique self-improvement system called DREAM. Its based on the five simple core principles of Determination, Regeneration, Energisation, Ambition and Motivation.

Toms high-energy success story and new book, inspired by Belfasts resilience and transformation journey, have been recognised by the global expert who has reached out to work with him.

The internationally renowned business expert and worlds number one sales and marketing trainer has invited Tom to represent his company as a Grant Cardone 10X certified coach, speaker and mentor in Ireland, UK and across Europe.

Grant Cardone launched his famous 10X movement in 2011 and since has attracted millions of devotees who use his theories to improve their business success and personal relationships.

He is an incredibly successful American property entrepreneurand media personality, as well as a dynamic international speaker, coach and consultant with his teachings used by hundreds of millions of people. He is star of hit TV series the Undercover Billionaire and is currently making a movie with Robert De Niro.

The best-selling author of seven books, including the New York Times bestsellerIf Youre Not First, Youre Last, and the Axiom Award WinnerSell or Be Sold, also established the Cardone University, the premier online sales training tool in the world with over 50,000,000 users and counting.

This is an incredible opportunity to work with the worlds most experienced and respected coaching expert, to say I am privileged is a complete understatement. Tom said.

I have been studying with Grant Cardone for several years, and I am blown away by his teachings, so much so that I enrolled all my sales staff in his training programs.

His insights, powers of motivational speaking and positive attitude to overcoming all challenges have paid dividends for my business productivity, so I know 100 per cent that this system works.

Having been elevated to an official member of the 10X mentoring team, I am incredibly grateful to now have the opportunity to help bring Grant Cardones tried-and-tested methods for success to a UK, European and Irish audience. Grants teachings combined with my own mindset, my new book and my unwavering belief that absolutely anything is possible when you put your mind to it, means that this is a very exciting moment, with so many people set to benefit.

Over the last nine months, Tom has diligently recorded his thoughts, ideas and strategies for success and his debut book is a history lesson and a street-psychology lecture, animated by a personal narrative of ambition and learning tough life lessons.

Fear and self-doubt has a paralysing effect on peoples ability to think and work out a strategy for success. It has a very negative impact on physical and mental health, and it is often the root cause of failure, Tom says.

When the pandemic hit in early 2020, I needed to find an antidote to self-limiting fear for both my staff and family. I explored the research and resources I have personally used over many years in my life, both personally and professionally and wrote it all down for this new book.

Grant Cardones work has always been a massive source of inspiration to me. So, I am truly honoured to be part of his elite team.

I truly want to help others fulfil their potential, so this winning combination is set to help anyone who wants to build their resilience and develop strategies for personal and professional development to achieve and smash their goals.

With the guidance and support of Grant Cardone and his organisation, I can now reach out and help many more people fulfil their potential. I am excited to bring his methods and teachings to the UK, Ireland and beyond because I know the incredible transformations he can inspire.

*Fear-Less by Tom Smyth is set to be realised in early 2021 and is available to pre-order on Amazon now.

Tom will be offering world class business and personal development programs that will enable individuals and companies to create more revenue, employ more people, and impact more lives with their products and services from March 2021!

BELFAST BUSINESSMAN SELECTED BY GRANT CARDONE TO JOIN ELITE TEAM OF INSPIRATIONAL MENTORS - Love Belfast

Alexis Smith |The Pueblo Chieftain

If you started the year eagerly awaiting to see Pueblo featured on Discoverys Undercover Billionaire, you may have noticed it hasnt aired in recent weeks.

Matt Smith, the Pueblo entrepreneur who has partnered with Louis Curtis, aka Grant Cardone in the series, said viewers will have to wait until March.

The reason it is not on the Discovery Channel is because they made an error, Smith said. They put the show on during the transition of presidency, so the ratings werent where they wanted them to be. They pulled the show back, and they are going to release it on Discovery within the next 30-45 days with a larger launch.

Smith noted he believes the relaunch will be good for Pueblo.

(The series) will have more eyeballs on it, there will be more promotion, and they are going to piggyback it with one of their No. 1 shows, Smith said.

As of now, viewers who have a Discovery+ subscription are still able to view the show, but Smith said that may change within the coming weeks.

As of now they are going to keep releasing episodes on Discovery+, but even the producers I talked to yesterday didnt know if that was going to change, Smith added. I think they are still making a lot of big decisions with the show.

"They want to make sure its at the right time in the right season, so I think its going to be a really good thing for Pueblo. We just have to wait 30 more days for it to get on the air.

If you have followed along with the series thus far, you know that Episode 2 ended with production coming to Cardone, who had just received a $10,000 check from Smith, to inform him that the show had been shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic.

In Episode 3, viewers see Cardone has reunited with his family in Miami.

When I started my 90-day challenge, I didnt know COVID would get so serious so fast, Cardone said. I had no choice but to go home to Miami and wait until I can get back to work.

Smith said that when this was happening, everyone himself included thought that the situation would blow over quickly.

From my standpoint, it was just like, Alright, Ill see you in a week or so, Smith said. Then it just kind of ended. I dont think anyone knew what COVID was about to do to our world.

In reality, Cardone, who was only 13 days into the 90-day challenge, was with his family in Florida for three months.

It was really when (SNAP Fitness) was opening up again, Smith said. I got an email from (the head of production) that said, Hey, I think we are going to continue the show. I was like, Huh, I never thought Id see these guys again.

Determined to finish what he started, Cardone said in the episode that resuming his role as Louis Curtis was important to him because he wanted to prove anyone can start a business.

Before leaving Pueblo though, Cardone had sold the vehicle he was given at the beginning of the challenge and was borrowing local business ownerRyan Zabukovics Jeep Wrangler.

Upon his second arrival in Pueblo, his undercover persona had no mode of transportation.

After making his way from Pueblo Memorial Airport out to Zabukovic RV, he meets with Zabukovic once again with the hope that he can stay in an RV overnight.

In their meeting, Zabukovic explains that after reopening, he sold everything on his lot including the Jeep that Cardone was borrowing.

In his second day back, Cardone meets with Smith again hoping he would still be open to working together;especially because he had not touched the $10,000 check Smith wrote him three months prior.

My side of it was, Is he going to think about cashing that check? Smith said with a laugh. In the back of my mind, Im like I doubt hes that guy, but you never know. I felt like I knew him well enough that he wasnt, but it wasnt confirmed one way or another.

When he didnt, and he told me I didnt want to cash this check and leave you hanging. I definitely appreciated that and respected him more for sure.

Cardone's undercover persona appears to be extremely nervous, before the meeting notinghe feels defeated because all the momentum he gained was lost in those three months he spent away from Pueblo.

Smith said for him, its funny seeing that perspective because in the moment Cardone never displayed an ounce of anxiety.

I never saw that side of him, Smith said. He was such a confident human when he came into my building. When I met with the guy, every time he was confident in what he was doing.

"I dont think he was not nervous, he just never showed that to me. So, on my side of it, I was just excited. We had a lot of fun together, we built some trust, good relationships with the community already. So, I was excited for him to come back into my life.

In the upcoming episode, it seems the show will delve further into how Cardone plans to contribute to Smith's businesses, and touch on an illness he seems to have caught.

Episodes are available on Wednesday evenings on Discovery+.

Where did Undercover Billionaire go? Matt Smith explains, and reacts to Episode 3 - Pueblo Chieftain

Clubhouse is one of the newest social media platforms out there, and I just had to try it.

Id heard that Clubhouse was a platform where you can connect with some of the worlds prominent industry leaders via live voice interaction. This means you speak directly to real movers and shakers in your industry.

I was so intrigued, and after receiving an invite to join, I jumped right in and gained tonnes of followers in just two days.

Heres what I learnt.

Everyone is on Clubhouse to give value, and this authenticity translates directly into follows.

You really need to soak up the advice and value you get from the platform and put yourself out there as much as you can.

One way I did this was the stage. I entered a room dedicated to business growth, and on the stage was Grant Cardone, Tiffany Haddish, Jim Kwik and so many USA Shark Tank investors and people with millions of followers! Then, I wasnt just in the same room, but I was granted access to the stage!

I got to speak directly to these famous people and had some of them reply directly to me via audio, all completely live. It was just through my phone like a normal phone call. It was insane!

Its like having a phone call with the biggest leaders in the world. I was blown away.

The opportunity to ask questions or make a comment really does help to position you as the leading expert in your niche.

Hearing a real voice seems to make people seem more real too which helps build connection.

Just being on stage got me 60 new followers. Then Tiffany Haddish followed me! (I doubled checked; its not a fake account.)

Because Clubhouse links directly to your Twitter and Instagram, there are no DM functions or chat functions to comment or like.

The only way to interact with people through Clubhouse is via voice. People can hear you and hear exactly what you know and can offer.

Business news, information and ideas, free in your inbox daily.

Youll also receive special offers from our partners. You can opt-out at any time.

Since the Clubhouse app links directly to Instagram its a direct link to potential followers.

In fact, Ive gained at least 200 new Instagram followers after two days on Clubhouse. Ive also got about 50 new direct messages to read.

In the past, Id be lucky if I get one or two DMs each month from people I dont follow.

DMs are usually a more meaningful way to connect with followers as they have real questions to ask you and genuinely want your expertise.

Theres so much opportunity on this app right now because as a first-mover, while everyone is still getting access, you have to be invited. So, you need to receive an invitation from someone else who is already on the app.

Each person currently only receives one invite, so its still super exclusive, however, it is growing exponentially.

As a first-mover, its so meaningful to be on the app right now, making the most of it.

Im certain that as time goes on, we may not be able to access these featured speakers as much as we can now, because the rooms will be so crowded with so many people.

This will mean fewer opportunities to get on to the stage and speak to them. So, Ive been spending a lot of time on the app over the past couple of days to make the most of getting in early.

The good thing is you can multitask, use other apps, and have the audio on while you work to make the most of your day.

Honestly, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or how the app worked when I joined.

However, upon jumping into a few groups and putting myself out there, I got the hang of it very quickly.

I jumped into a bunch of different groups where people were chatting about all the functions of the app and how Clubhouse actually works, so that was really handy.

Once the app becomes more popular, this how-to chat may stop because they will assume that everyone knows how it works.

So I was lucky to get in early and learn in the app.

Because of my experience in podcasting and doing Instagram lives, Im more than comfortable to put my hand up and I wanted to push myself to keep that up.

So, I put my hand up and just hoped to be invited onto the stage. And I was!

It was a great opportunity to share my business insights. One thing I have also noticed is that Clubhouse has such a supportive community, I didnt experience any nastiness or anything negative at all.

The app itself is pretty amazing. There are actual Shark Tank rooms where people are pitching and gaining insane investments. I also found a Next Top Model room which based on audio, but Im not sure how that one works.

So, as you can tell, Im a huge fan of Clubhouse. To help you with your first day on the app, here are a few things to try which worked well for me.

Aussie Instagram influencers bring in anywhere between $13 and $20,000 per post, and it's those with nano-followings generating conversation.

Its surely impossible to dance in a uniform without violating a social media policy so why arent companies cracking down on TikTok?

10 different types of meditationand which one is right for you

Self-care can be a key strategy for getting through tough times, such as a global pandemic. Meditation is one practice that has been relied upon by people for centuriesand across various cultures.

Sunday Citizen compiled a list of 10 different types of meditation, using information from health and wellness sites, research studies, and more. One thing to remember when beginning to practice meditation is that mastery is not necessary right away. If you dont meditate, or only do so sporadically, any increase in frequency or duration could have a positive impact. Keep in mind, there is no one way to meditate.

Those who are a bit type A may have trouble slowing downfor them, a meditation practice like kundalini or tai chi that integrates movement may be the ticket. Other types demand quiet and sitting still. All forms of meditation have benefits for mental and physical health. For those who need guidance, theres likely an app for that. Some are 100% free, while others may be subscription-based. Some apps dont stop at meditation, but also offertips and tools for other ways of self-care. You can even connect with a Japanese monk via Zoom for a meditation session.

Meditation may have started as early as5000 B.C., but no matter how long, the practice has become more popular as people look for non-pharmaceutical ways to boost their mental health. Different variations on the practice have been developed throughout the world, including India, China, and Japan. Some are associated with spiritual practices including Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism, while others are secular.

Over time, more people were exposed to the practice via the publishing of books including Siddhartha, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and The Dharma Bums. Researchers started exploring the impact of meditation on the brain in the 50s. Beginning in the late 70s, researchers noted that mindfulness meditation was an effective practice to help manage chronic disease. By the time Deepak Chopra opened his Center for Wellbeing in 1996, meditation was becoming mainstream.

Continue reading to find the type of meditation thats suited to your personality, energy levels, and goals.

Jon Kabat-Zinn created hisMindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program in 1979, making this type of meditation one of the newer options available. Because the tactics of the program were adopted outside of the meditation world by therapists and medical professionals, it is one of the more well-known options. By focusing on the present, instead of spiraling into thoughts about the past or future, people who utilize this technique can manage anxiety and concentration virtually anywhere, anytime.

Anyone whos ever dealt with anger or resentment may benefit fromthis practice, which focuses on compassion for and acceptance of self, and then people and/or situations outside of ourselves, including (and sometimes especially) those that aggravate or hurt us. The idea is thatuntil we love ourselves, we cant extend love to others. This type of meditation can also help with anxiety andPTSD.

Even though this practice necessitates a guide, apps and the advent of video calls have made guided meditation available to almost anyone, anytime, via both live sessions and recordings. Anxiety, depression, pain, and insomnia are just a few of theconditions that can be helped via this practice.

Perfect for those who struggle to sit still, this type ofmeditation uses movementyoga, tai chi, gi gong, kundalini, and othersto calm the mind. The practice doesnt require being solitary, and it is often experienced in a group setting. With the recent popularity of Zoom classes, people can join others from their own homes or a community space.

Because there are poses and mantras to learn for this practice, youll want training at first, but once you know the basics, you can usekundalini to manage stress and boost body awareness, in addition to getting stronger and minimizing pain.

Those who struggle with sleep might want to try this practice, which involves scanning the body for areas of stress or pain. Intentionally tensing those parts, then releasing the stress, is often part of the experience.

Because this practice asks that we focus on something externalbreath, sounds, mala beads, or something elserather than trying to empty our minds, this can be an effective option for thoseexperiencing monkey mind,a Buddhist term that describes restlessness or confusion. Success begins with short sessions whenever you have time, making this type of meditation perfect for busy lives.

Picturing an intended resultpeaceful scenes to create calm or success in a specific situationis one possible focus of visualization. Beyond visuals, this practice can include integrating all five senses.

Who hasnt heard the word om, even if you dont meditate? This practice, which has Hindu and Buddhist origins, uses words or phrases to focus attention. Because of the auditory component, this is likely a type of meditation youll do in privacy (though it is done in classes, too), making it a practice you can commit to daily at no cost.

Because this type of meditation requires participants to remain silent for10 days, using body scans to stay focused and ignore pain, it requires a much higher level of commitment than others. The benefits of the practice were explored in the documentary The Dhamma Brothers. The film shows how this practice helped incarcerated men at a high-security facility in Alabama face their trauma and past actions. Others have used the practice to help with recovery from substance abuse.
