  • Diwali and Annakut Celebrated at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandirs across North America

    Diwali and Annakut Celebrated at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandirs across North America

    DALLAS, TX(TIP): A  glittering  array of  twinkles  filled the  night  as  traditional candles  were  lit  by  devotees. The  ancient tradition of lighting candles, or divos, during Diwali symbolizes the transition from darkness to light. While the divos lit on Diwali erase physical darkness, the festival’s rich traditions and rituals go deeper –inviting individuals  to make  efforts  in removing  darkness  in the  forms  of anger, envy,  greed,  arrogance, and resentment.  Diwali presents a time to reflect and introspect. The five  days  of Diwali  (including  the Hindu New  Year)  are rich  in  cultural traditions  and  rituals that symbolize  new  beginnings and  a  renewed commitment  to  family. The  bright  colors of Rangoli(intricate designs made  of  colored powder),  the  lighting of divos,  and  the  elaborate  variety of  vegetarian  foods offered to  God  (in a  display  called an Annakut),  all  mark a  renewal  of the  good  within and  the  goodwill towards everything around us. Diwali presents Hindus with an opportunity to connect with and celebrate the traditions of their roots with great fanfare.

    Offering  his  prayers to  Bhagwan  Swaminarayan, His  Holiness Mahant  Swami  Maharaj, guru  and current spiritual  leader of BAPS, prayed  for  devotees around  the  world for continued personal, and professional growth  in  this new  year.  Mahant Swami  Maharaj  took the  occasion  of Diwali  to  remind individuals  and families about the importance of leading spiritually-centric lives, grounded in strong values and increased attachment to God. This year, BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandirs across North America marked the auspicious festival of Diwali and its associated five days of celebrations with an elaborate Annakut, lighted divos, fireworks, and even a special children’s Diwali celebration. For many visitors, the most popular attraction and a highlight of the festivities is the Annakut festival on the  fifth  day.  As  practiced by  BAPS  Swaminarayan Mandirs,  the  Annakut is  a  unique and  awe-inspiring sight of devotion where hundreds of different traditional Indian foods and even some fusions with western cuisine are prepared by devotees in the community and arranged in front of the Mandir’s sacred images.

    In the evening, the offered dishes are served at dinner to everyone.  Vandan Shah said, “Diwali is all about good food, family gatherings, crackers, and I love it because of the excitement that fills the air when the festival nears. After coming to the Diwali Celebrations at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Robbinsville, I felt like I was in India. I experienced Indian culture while getting a taste of fine Indian cuisine. I truly felt at home. ”Being away from India, I brought my children to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Edison, NJ  so they can learn about Diwali and our rich tradition”, said, Dinesh Prajapati. In addition to the Annakut, the BAPS’ Diwali celebrations featured spiritual and cultural themed events, which  engaged both  children  and adults,  in  order to  bring  positive energy  into  the New  Year.

    Furthermore, visitors  and  members learned  about  scriptural events  related  to Diwali and  observed traditions such as rangolis  and other traditional forms of decorations. Finally,  all children  were invited to participate in a children’s fair and Kids Diwali Celebration which included food, games and fun activities.  Attractions included a fireworks display. The celebrations were open to all. Visitors participated in celebration activities, offered prayers for new beginnings and had the opportunity to taste in the delicious offerings of the Annakut.

  • Richardson Residents ‘Astonished’ after Campaign Signs in Yard Burned

    Richardson Residents ‘Astonished’ after Campaign Signs in Yard Burned

    RICHARDSON, TEXAS(TIP): Some Richardson residents say they are astonished after someone burned two political campaign signs in their front yard after 11:00 p.m. Monday, October 22.

    In all, the Richardson Fire Department says five different signs were torched in the Heights neighborhood, which is west of Central Expressway and south of Arapaho.

    One of the homeowners whose signs were burned is Chris Terry who said she and her wife Michael Graffeo were surprised when a man rang their door bell Monday night to alert them.

    Terry says she remembers thinking, “Steal the sign, but don’t light it on fire when there’s a possibility that other things could catch on fire. But you know, I think it’s a reflection that we’re so polarized.”

    Fire Chief Curtis Poovey said no one was hurt.

    The signs that were lit on fire were for Beto O’Rourke, the Democrat running for U.S. Senate and Colin Allred, the Democrat running for the 32nd Congressional District.

    Poovey said investigators don’t have a suspect or suspects in mind.

    Graffeo, says, “I think it’s indicative of where we are, but it seems to be taking it a step further.”

    They placed new signs in the yard Wednesday afternoon, not waiting for the rain to stop.

    Dallas County Community College adjunct professor Janet Johnson is writing a book about social media and rhetoric in politics.

    “People need to realize that there are consequences wherever we burn signs, that it’s not ok. We need to start having conversations.”

    She says those conversations should not include any yelling, but rather, be cordial.

  • 11th Bhavanjali Mahotsav – A Grand Celebration in Dallas, TX

    11th Bhavanjali Mahotsav – A Grand Celebration in Dallas, TX

    Grand celebration by Saints and devotees; Blessings to all the devotees by the saints

    Noteworthy seva by women devotees; Devotees around the globe rejoiced

    DALLAS, TX(TIP): Around the time when India became an independent nation, Shastriji Maharaj Shri Dharmajivandasji Swami laid the foundation for propagating true wisdom to help build the best character in students through an education that was both academic as well as spiritual. He started this effort by initiating the very first Gurukul of Swaminarayan Sampraday. Today more than 150 Gurukul centers exists across the Swaminarayan Sampraday where more than 100,000 students are enrolled in Gurukuls around the globe.

    Shastri Shri Dharmajivandasji Swami renounced his home in 1917 when he was merely 14 years old.  To commemorate the centennial anniversary of the event, a grand Bhavanjali Mahotsav was celebrated across several branches of Rajkot Gurukul including Rajkot, Junagadh, Taravda, Una, Sarangpur, Morbi, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, Hyderabad and also Dallas, TX.

    Shri Dhirubhai Babaria and Shri Manubhai Patolia of USA, who have dedicated themselves to the noble vision of Shastriji Maharaj, performed the very first poojan of Guruvarya Shri Devkrushnadasji Swami. 35 saints were present for the celebration including Shri Devprasaddasji Swami, Shri Laxminarayandasji Swami, Shri Narayanprasaddasji Swami and others. Devotees from Canada, Latin America, India, Dubai, Africa, UK, Australia as well as different parts of USA including New Jersey, Chicago, Washington, California, Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Pennsylvania, Huston, etc. were present to witness the grand celebration. Devotees including Shri Chaturbhai Vaghasia, Shri Gordhanbhai Paghdal, Shri Dhiubhai Kotadia, Shri Rakeshbhai Dudhat (Africa), Shri Jasmatbhai Sutaria, Shri Ashwinbhai Babaria were also present for the auspicious occasion.

    Under the guidance of Shri Vishwaswaroopdasji Swami, several kids (born and raised in the US) took part in traditional Indian folk dances as a tribute to the grand celebration. The kids performed with great flare and poise which reflected their wholehearted dedication. Guruvarya Shri Devkrushnadasji Swami gave his blessings to Shri Vishwaswaroopdasji Swami for his tireless efforts.

    There were more than 150 devotees who had dedicated their time to the temple for the past 50 days. Their efforts were blessed by Guruvarya Shri Devkrushnadasji Swami by presenting them all with a personalized momento. Women devotees also had a huge contribution to the celebration with their tremendous help by providing fresh chapatis, theplas and puris for lunch & dinner for roughly 2500 people each day.

    Guruvarya Shri Devkrushnadasji Swami, in his blessings to all the devotees said, “Just like how a broom cleans the dust and other garbage, performing seva cleanses a human soul from bad vices.” He also added that, “Lord Swaminarayan always accepts selfless acts of seva. Shastriji Maharaj used to perform selfless seva like fetching water from the well for elderly saints to bathe, make chapatis from 30 kgs of flour every day to feed the saints as well as devotees. And in his free time, he focused on learning. He learned the 18 Adhyays of Geetaji in 18 days. He had memorized more than 800 kirtans and more than 700 slokas. Seeing the selfless efforts of each and every devotee here in Dallas makes me very happy. I pray for all your wellbeing.”

    Shri Dharmavallabhdasji Swami had sent a kanthi (made of tulsi) of Nilkanth Varnindra Bhagwan which was graciously accepted by Shri Devkrushnadasji Swami.

    More than 150 volunteers worked day and night, taking off from their office work, for last 50 days. Santo blessed these volunteers with memento. Also, women volunteers of Bhakti Mahila Mandal prepared rotli and thepla for more than 10000 visitors during this celebration.

  • University of Texas Dallas Indian American Lecturer Amandeep Sra Earns ‘National Award for Excellence in Undergrad Teaching’

    University of Texas Dallas Indian American Lecturer Amandeep Sra Earns ‘National Award for Excellence in Undergrad Teaching’

    DALLAS (TIP): Dr. Amandeep Sra is the recipient of the 2018 Centennial Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching from Iota Sigma Pi, the national honor society for women in chemistry. Founded in 1902, Iota Sigma Pi serves to promote the advancement of women in chemistry by granting recognition to women who have demonstrated superior scholastic achievement and high professionalism.

    The organization presents several awards to professionals in the field of chemistry and scholarships to graduate, undergraduate and high school students. The Centennial Award is given each year to a female educator for excellence in teaching chemistry.

    Sra teaches freshman- and sophomore-level chemistry and is the general chemistry lab coordinator in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. These classes enroll about 250 students per lecture section, and each semester serve about 1,200 students in the lab.

    Such large classes include a large number of nontraditional students, many of whom said in nomination letters for the award that Sra finds ways to reach everyone and will go above and beyond with workshops, study sessions and mentoring to help students understand the material.

    “Having one-on-one interaction with students is very important. As I get to know them, I feel I can better help them in the areas they need most.”

    Before she began teaching part time in 2011 and full time in 2012, Sra conducted research in materials science and engineering and electrical engineering at UT Dallas and did biomedical research at the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Such diverse research experiences have made her a better teacher, she said.

    “My basic training is as a chemist,” said Sra, who earned her PhD in chemistry at the Bhabha Atomic Research Center in India. “Multidisciplinary research experiences have helped me a lot because freshmen who take my classes have different majors.

    “My knowledge from working in a biology-oriented field, as well as in materials science and electrical engineering, has helped me integrate these topics into teaching chemistry. I think this has been really helpful for the students because now they see that chemistry is not just an isolated subject but is the basic foundation of many sciences.”

    Sra was nominated for the national award by Dr. Julia Chan, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UT Dallas, who won the 2008 Agnes Fay Morgan Research Award from Iota Sigma Pi. That award recognizes the achievements of scientists under the age of 40.

    “Dr. Sra is creative and able to inspire students because of her ability to integrate current research trends, and this effort is not trivial,” Chan said. “She is also a mentor to veterans and nontraditional students in her classes, and she takes an active role in ensuring students’ success.”

    Sra also received UT Dallas’ 2018 President’s Teaching Excellence Award in Undergraduate Instruction for a non-tenure-track faculty member and a 2017 Outstanding Teaching Award from the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

    “When I first started teaching, it was part-time. But once I realized how much I enjoyed it and enjoyed interacting with students, I decided it was a good career move to switch to full-time teaching,” Sra said.

  • Detained immigrants in Texas on hunger strike -rights group

    Detained immigrants in Texas on hunger strike -rights group

    DALLAS (TIP): A group of immigrant fathers, recently reunified with their sons and detained in Texas, have gone on hunger strike to demand their release, an immigrant rights group representing them said on Thursday, August 2.

    The immigrants said they were being held at a detention center in Karnes, Texas, with no notification from U.S. authorities on their immigration status, the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) said.

    It was not immediately clear how many fathers have joined the hunger strike, which began on Wednesday.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency denied there was a hunger strike by residents of the Karnes County Residential Center, about 51 miles southeast of San Antonio.

    “On Aug. 2, a small group of fathers and their children (fewer than 50 total) staged a brief sit-in and expressed their concerns about their immigration cases,” ICE said in a statement. The residents “appreciated the information and dispersed.”

    Fathers had staged sit-ins, children were refusing to take part in school activities, and some fathers had started a hunger strike, RAICES spokeswoman Jennifer Falcon said on a conference call with reporters on Thursday.

    “The dads are on a hunger strike and they are refusing to obey any directions from ICE and GEO guards,” she said, a reference to private contractor GEO Group Inc, which runs the center.

    GEO did not respond to a request for comment. Falcon could not immediately be reached later for comment on the ICE statement.

    U.S. President Donald Trump has made a hardline stance on immigration an integral part of his presidency and has promised to keep immigrants targeted for deportation locked up “pending the outcome of their removal proceedings.”

    Some 2,500 children were separated from their parents as part of a “zero tolerance” policy toward illegal immigration that began in early May. Many of them had crossed the U.S.-Mexican border illegally, while others had sought asylum. The U.S. government said last week it had reunited just over half of them.

    Fathers at the Karnes center said they were misled into agreeing to deportation as a condition of seeing their children again, RAICES said. Others said they had not been given the opportunity to apply for asylum.

    A federal judge in San Diego indefinitely suspended deportations.
