Aye mere Pyare vatan- Kabuliwala

            Lyrics in Gujarati

Ae mere pyare vatan, 
ae mere bichhade chaman,
Tuj pe dil kurbaan,
Tu hi meri aarzoo, 
tu hi meri aabaru, 
tu hi meri zaan,
Ae mere pyare vatan ...

Tere daaman se jo aaye 
un havao ko salam,
Chum lu me us juban ko 
jis pe aaye tera naam,
Sab se pyari subah teri, 
sab se rangin teri saam,
Tuj pe dil kurbaan,
Tu hi meri aarzoo, 
tu hi meri aabaru, 
tu hi meri zaan,

Maa ka dil ban ke kabhi 
sine se lag jaata he tu,
Aur kabhi nanhi si beti 
ban ke yaad aata he tu,
Jitna yaad aata he mujko 
itna tadpaata he tu,
Tuj pe dil kurbaan,
Tu hi meri aarzoo, 
tu hi meri aabaru, 
tu hi meri zaan,

Chhod kar teri zamin ko 
door aa pahoche he hum,
Phir bhi hai ye hi tamanna, 
Tere zarro ki kasam,
Hum jahan paida hue, 
uss jagah hi nikle dam,
Tuj pe dil kurbaan,
Tu hi meri aarzoo, tu hi meri aabaru, 
tu hi meri zaan,
Ae mere pyare vatan, 
ae mere bichhade chaman,
Tuj pe dil kurbaan,
Tu hi meri aarzoo,
Tu hi meri aabaru, 
tu hi meri zaan,

Heart touching Story: कॉफी का कप- How you See the life- that matters !


दोस्तों का एक पुराना ग्रुप कॉलेज छोड़ने के बहुत दिनों बाद मिला।

वे सभी अपने-अपने करियर में बहुत अच्छा कर रहे थे और खूब पैसे कमा रहे थे।
जब आपस में मिलते -जुलते काफी वक़्त बीत गया तो उन्होंने अपने सबसे फेवरेट प्रोफेसर के घर जाकर मिलने का निश्चय किया।

प्रोफेसर साहब ने उन सभी का स्वागत किया और बारी-बारी से उनके काम के बारे में पूछने लगे।
धीरे-धीरे बात लाइफ में बढ़ती स्ट्रेस और काम के प्रेशर पर आ गयी। इस मुद्दे पर सभी एक मत थे कि भले वे अब आर्थिक रूप से बहुत मजबूत हों पर उनकी लाइफ में अब वो मजा नहीं रह गया जो पहले हुआ करता था।

प्रोफेसर साहब बड़े ध्यान से उनकी बातें सुन रहे थे , वे अचानक ही उठे और थोड़ी देर बाद किचन से लौटे सुर बोले , ”

डीयर स्टूडेंट्स , मैं आपके लिए गरमा-गरम कॉफ़ी लेकर आया हूँ ,
लेकिन
प्लीज आप सब किचन में जाकर अपने-अपने लिए कप्स लेते आइये। ” ,
लड़के तेजी से अंदर गए, वहाँ कई तरह के कप रखे हुए थे ,

सभी अपने लिए अच्छा से अच्छा कप उठाने में लग गये ,
किसी ने क्रिस्टल का शानदार कप उठाया तो किसी ने पोर्सिलेन का कप सेलेक्ट किया,
तो किसी ने शीशे का कप उठाया।

जब सभी के हाथों में कॉफी आ गयी तो प्रोफ़ेसर साहब बोले ,
” अगर आपने ध्यान दिया हो तो , जो कप दिखने में अच्छे और महंगे थे आपने उन्हें ही चुना और साधारण दिखने वाले कप्स की तरफ ध्यान नहीं दिया।

जहाँ एक तरफ अपने लिए सबसे अच्छे की चाह रखना एक नॉर्मल बात है वहीँ दूसरी तरफ ये हमारी लाइफ में प्रोब्लम्स और स्ट्रेस लेकर आता है।

फ्रेंड्स, ये तो पक्का है कि कप चाय की क्वालिटी में कोई बदलाव नहीं लाता। ये तो बस एक जरिया है जिसके माध्यम से आप कॉफी पीते हैं… असल में जो आपको चाहिए था वो बस कॉफ़ी थी, कप नहीं , पर फिर भी आप सब सबसे अच्छे कप के पीछे ही गए और अपना लेने के बाद दूसरों के कप निहारने लगे।

अब इस बात को ध्यान से सुनिये , — ये लाइफ कॉफ़ी की तरह है ; हमारी नौकरी , पैसा , पोजीशन , कप की तरह हैं। ये बस लाइफ जीने के साधन हैं खुद लाइफ नहीं !

और हमारे पास कौन सा कप है ये न हमारी लाइफ को डिफाइन करता है और ना ही उसे चेंज करता है।

कॉफी की चिंता करिये कप की नहीं।

दुनिए के सबसे खुशहाल लोग वो नहीं होते जिनके पास सबकुछ सबसे बढ़िए होता है ,

वे तो जो होता है बस उसका सबसे अच्छे से यूज़ करते हैं।

सादगी से जियो।

सबसे प्रेम करो।

सबकी केअर करो।

यही असली जीना है।”

खुदा से क्या मांगू तेरे वास्ते

खुदा से क्या मांगू तेरे वास्ते
सदा खुशियों से भरे हों तेरे रास्ते
हंसी तेरे चेहरे पे रहे इस तरह
खुशबू फूल का साथ निभाती है जिस तरह

सुख इतना मिले की तू दुःख को तरसे
पैसा शोहरत इज्ज़त रात दिन बरसे
आसमा हों या ज़मीन हर तरफ तेरा नाम हों
महकती हुई सुबह और लहलहाती शाम हो

तेरी कोशिश को कामयाबी की आदत हो जाये
सारा जग थम जाये तू जब भी गए
कभी कोई परेशानी तुझे सताए
रात के अँधेरे में भी तू सदा चमचमाए

दुआ ये मेरी कुबूल हो जाये
खुशियाँ तेरे दर से जाये
इक छोटी सी अर्जी है मान लेना
हम भी तेरे दोस्त हैं ये जान लेना

खुशियों में चाहे हम याद आए आए
पर जब भी ज़रूरत पड़े हमारा नाम लेना
इस जहाँ में होंगे तो ज़रूर आएंगे
दोस्ती मरते दम तक निभाएंगे

Not being able to do everything is no excuse for not doing everything you can
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”
“I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” asked the somewhat startled wise man.
To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, “But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said,”It made a difference for that one.”? Loren Eiseley

Dwarika- Krishnabhumi, Discovery of Dwaraka


Excavations at Dwaraka helped add credence to the legend of Krishna and the Mahabharata war, as well as provide ample evidence of the advanced societies that lived in these areas such as the Harappan settlements.

The Dwarakadhisa Temple prompted the setting up of a Marine Archaeology Unit (MAU) jointly by the National Institute of Oceanography and the Archaeological Survey of India.
Under the guidance of Dr. Rao, a great marine archaeologist, a team consisting of expert underwater explorers, trained diver-photographers and archaeologists was formed.
The technique of geophysical survey was combined with the use of echo-sounders, mud-penetrators, sub-bottom profilers and underwater metal detectors.

This team carried out 12 marine archaeological expeditions between 1983 to 1992 and articles and antiquities recovered were sent to Physical Research Laboratory for dating.
By using thermo-luminescence, carbon dating and other modern scientific techniques, the artifacts were found to belong to the period between 15th to 18th century B.C. In his great work, The Lost City of Dwaraka, Dr. Rao has given scientific details of these discoveries and artifacts.

Between 1983 to 1990, the well-fortified township of Dwaraka was discovered, extending more than half mile from the shore.
The township was built in six sectors along the banks of a river. The foundation of boulders on which the city's walls were erected proves that the land was reclaimed from the sea.
The general layout of the city of Dwaraka described in ancient texts agrees with that of the submerged city discovered by the MAU.
According to the discoveries, Dwaraka was a prosperous city in ancient times, which was destroyed and reconstructed several times.
The work of great excavators like Z.D. Ansari and M.S. Mate allowed chance discovery of temples of the 9th century A.D. and 1st century A.D. buried near the present Dwaraka.

Conclusions arrived at after carrying out these underwater archaeological explorations support and validate the dates arrived at through astronomical calculations. They also prove that the reconstructed city was a prosperous port town, and that it was in existence for about 60-70 years in the 15th century B.C. before being submerged under the sea in the year 1443 B.C.

(Editors' note: Although the adherents of western, empirical science date Dwaraka to 1443 B.C. or roughly 3,400 years ago, ancient Vedic astronomical texts and present-day practitioners of the Vedic tradition assert that the current epoch of Kali-yuga began in 3102 B.C. Lord Krishna's disappearance and the subsequent submergence of Dwaraka occurred shortly before this date. Therefore, Dwaraka can be no less than 5,000 years old.)

"The discovery of the legendary city of Dwaraka which is said to have been founded by Sri Krishna, is an important landmark in the history of India. It has set at rest the doubts expressed by historians about the historicity of Mahabharata and the very existence of Dwaraka city. It has greatly narrowed the gap of Indian history by establishing the continuity of Indian civilization from the Vedic age to the present day." (S.R. Rao, former adviser to the NIO who is still actively involved in the excavations).

Rao said that if a fraction of the funds spent on land archaeology were made available for underwater archaeology, more light could be shed on Dwaraka, which had much archaeological significance because it was built during the second urbanization that occurred in India after the Indus Valley civilization in north-western India.

Dwaraka's existence disproves the belief held by Western archaeologists that there was no urbanization in the Indian subcontinent from the period between 1700 B.C. (Indus Valley) and 550 B.C. (advent of Buddhism). As no information was available about that period, they had labelled it the Dark Period.

Among the objects unearthed that proved Dwaraka's connection with the Mahabharata epic was a seal engraved with the image of a three headed animal.
The epic mentions such a seal given to the citizens of Dwaraka as a proof of identity when the city was threatened by King Jarasandha of the powerful Magadh kingdom (no Bihar). The foundation of boulders on which the city's walls were erected proves that the land was reclaimed from the sea about 3,600 years ago. The epic has references to such reclamation activity at Dwaraka. Seven islands mentioned in it were also discovered submerged in the Arabian Sea.

Pottery, which has been established by thermo-luminescence tests to be 3,528 years old and carrying inscriptions in late Indus Valley civilization script, iron stakes and triangular three-holed anchors discovered here find mention in the Mahabharata.
"The findings in Dwaraka and archeological evidence found compatible with the Mahabharata tradition remove the lingering doubt about the historicity of the Mahabharata. We would say that Krishna definetely existed." S.R. Rao.

Dwaraka inundated by tsunami?
Could a tsunami have struck the coast of Gujarat to drown the ancient city of Dwaraka? Experts and others closely associated with the discovery of the lost city off the coast of Saurashtra don't discount this possibility. They speak of the Mahabharata talking about the sea suddenly engulfing the city after Lord Krishna's disappearance and Arjuna taking Krishna's grandsons to Hastinapura.
"The Bhagavata Purana (11.30.5) mentions 'ete ghora mahotpata dvarvatyam yama-ketavah, muhurtam api na stheyam atra no yadu-pungavah.' The literal translation is 'This calamity itself has become a symbol of death. The Yadavas should not stay here even a moment longer.' The suddenness of the present tsunami has caused similar devastation to what seems to have happened to ancient Dwaraka and its inhabitans."
But here are three texts including the Harivamsa, the Matsya Purana and the Bhagavat-gita, which state that it took seven days to vacate Dwaraka before it was submerged by the sea. If we suppose that Dwaraka submerged due to a tsunami, the gradual movement of the sea can't be explained.
According to the Srimad-Bhagavatam, 11th Canto, Krishna sends a message to the people of Dwaraka. He tells them that once he leaves this world, there would be no one on this earth to save Dwaraka. The sea would finish Dwaraka and hence he asks the 56 crore Yaduvamsis to leave Dwaraka.
Source: Report about the excavations done by Dr. S.R. Rao of the Marnie Archaeology Unit of the National Institute of Oceanography of India. Underwater museum, in Dwaraka yet to surface
India Abroad News Service Bangalore - Nearly two decades after marine archeologists found the lost city of Dwaraka off the coast of Gujarat the state government continues to drag its feet on a proposal to establish the world's first underwater museum to view the remains of the city submerged in the Arabian Sea.
The proposal for the museum, submitted by the Marine Archeology Center of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in Goa, involves laying a submarine acrylic tube through which visitors can view through glass windows the ruins of the city said to have been be ruled by Sri Krishna, 3,500 years ago.An alternative suggestion is to have acrylic wells, to be accessed through boats, from which the remains can be viewed. Another proposal that remains on paper is for setting up a marine archeology museum of Dwaraka antiquities found in the sea.
Discovered in 1981, the well-fortified township of Dwaraka extended more than half a mile from the shore and was built in six sectors along the banks of a river before it became submerged. The findings are of immense cultural and religious importance to India.

"The search for the lost city has been going on since 1930," S.R. Rao, former adviser to the NIO who is still actively involved in the excavations, told India Abroad. "It is only after marine archaeologists started exploring the seabed near modem Dwaraka from 1981 that the structural remains of the city were found."
" What is needed, he added, is the political will to reconstruct the cultural history of the Vedic and epic periods of northern India.
The maritime museums at sites of ' wrecks and submerged ports are absolutely essential, and portable antiquities should be conserved properly, lie emphasized. If the proposal to have a maritime museum is accepted by the Gujarat government, it would be the first of its kind in India, he pointed out. Recounting the start of exploration for Dwaraka, Rao said, "We carried out the original survey with just four scuba divers, while the operation called for the services of around 200 divers and other staff." But for the work to progress now, more equipment is needed, besides funds and time, he warned, adding:

"We need two barges, one mounted with a crate, and equipment such as an airlift. We need 30 or 40 divers and engineers. The work should go on for at least six months and cannot be halt-ed midway."
According to Rao, the project would need at least Rs. 20 million ($476,000).Funds would have to be provided by the Gujarat government and its tourism department Other possible sources are the federal Department of Ocean Development (DOD), which organizes big projects such as expeditions to Antartica, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), which have not contribute much, Rao said.

The proposed underwater museum at Dwaraka, the first of its kind in the world, and a marine archaeology museum will throw more light on the Indus Valley civilisation and enable researchers to peep into the history of the lost city of the Mahabharata era.The Marine Archaeology Centre and the National Institute of Oceanography have jointly submitted a proposal with technical details for the preservation of the site to the Gujarat government. The Gujarat Government Tourism Corporation has held meetings with a foreign expert for promoting Dwaraka as a tourist destination, according to S R Rao, the president of the Society for Marine Archaeology.
The project envisages an estimated investment of over Rs 20 million. Unfortunately no follow-up action is forthcoming. The entire nation and even foreign countries are anxiously waiting for the preservation of the submerged city, which is not only of historical importance, but also of emotional interest since its founder was Lord Krishna, Rao said

Lohana -an Indian caste History



The Lohana, also referred to as Luvana are an Indian caste.

Traditionally largely occupied as Merchant.
The community originated in Sindh before migrating to Gujarat.


The Lohanas are divided into three separate cultural groups as a result of centuries apart in different regions. Thus there are significant differences between the culture, language, professions and societies of
The Lohana, also referred to as Luvana are an Indian caste

  • Sindhi Lohanas (those who migrated from Sind after partition of India)
  • Kutchi Lohanas (those living or having ancestry in Kutch), and those of
  • Gujarati Lohanas (those living or having ancestry in Saurashtra)


Although considered to be Vaishya in the Hindu ritual ranking system known as varna
the Lohanas favour a mythical origin as members of the Kshatriya varna.
Their claim is to be of Suryavanshi descent from a lineage tracing back to Lava, son of Rama.
At least some of them believe that they belong to the Rathor clan, which they consider to be kshatriya.
They claim that their name is derived from Lavnam, one of the 18 grades of Kshatriya,
ultimately derived from Lava himself.

In the 7th century,
there was a Buddhist ruler named Agham Lohana ruled a part of Sindh and was Governor of Brahmanabad and contemporary of Chach of Alor

Agham Lohana is referred to in Chach Nama and the city of Agham Kot is said to be named after him. Even the sea around was known as Lohana Darya. Chach of Alor killed Agham Lohana in battle of Brahmanand and married his widow and also married his niece to Agham's son Sirhind. Further, Chach is said to have laid restrictions of Lohana and Jat tribes from wearing headgear and carrying weapons. He further placed upon the Jat and Lohana restrictions such as.
     Forbidding them riding horses with saddles
     Forbidding them from wearing silk or velvet
     Forbidding them from wearing headgear or footwear
     Forcing them to wear black or red scarves

Conversion to Islam and migration of Hindu Lohanas
As per community's history, it was after the death of Veer Dada Jashraj, the decline of Lohana kingdom began and their reign at Lohargadh/Lohanpur/Lohkot in Multan. Lohanas get their name from the city of Lohanpur or Lohkot from which they were driven out in 13th century AD by Muslim invaders.
Ismaili Dai' Pir Sadardin converted many of them to the Shia Ismaili Nizari sect of Islam in 14th Century AD. As Lohanas were worshipers of Shakti, in order to convert them Ismaili missionaries made certain modifications in their doctrines to convert them. They are known as Khojas or Khawaja.

In 1422, the Sindh was ruled by a Hindu king of Samma Dynasty named Jam Rai Dan, who was converted to Islam by Sayad Eusuf-ud-Din and he got a new name Makrab Khan.At that time a person named Manekji was head of eighty-four nukhs of Lohanas, who was in favor in court of that Samma king. He was persuaded by ruler and the Quadri to convert to Islam. However, not all Lohanas were ready to convert from Hinduism but 700 Lohana families comprising some 6178 persons converted to Islam at the hands of one in Thatta Sindh these are now known as Memons.

Sindh which had fallen under Muslim rule of Muhammad bin Qasim after defeat of Dahir and the Hindus were increasingly pressurized to either convert to Islam or face persecution and were living in constant fear. It was around this time, that Uderolal who is revered as Jhulelal ( by Sindhis ) or Dariyalal (by Gujaratis and Kutchis ) and Zinda Pir ( by Muslims ) who was born in to Ratanchand (Ratnarai) Thakkur and Devki, a Hindu Lohana family of Nasarpur in Sindh. He took upon the mantle of Lohana and Hindu leadership. Uderolal showed his miraculous powers and preached Muslim chief Mirkshah, and initiated him into the true meaning of religion that Allah and Ishwar are one and same. Uderolal, thus won the freedom of religion for Hindus from the Muslim rulers and devoted the rest of his life to spiritual and community service. Today Uderolal is revered as Jhulelal, the patron saint of Sindhis and also considered to be as Pir and revered as Jinda Pir, as such, both Hindus and Muslims visit the site of his Samadhi. The Lohanas after Dariyalal took samadhi for almost two centuries Hindus and Lohanas remained fearless but later again due to their Hindu identity being discriminated and increasingly threatened in Sindh and they began to migrate mainly towards Kutch and Saurashtra.
