Punjab Chief Minister drinks a glass of #polluted water from a ‘holy #river’ to prove that #water is clean. He was hospitalized shortly after.

The chief minister of a north Indian state was briefly hospitalised two days after a viral video showed he downed a glass of polluted water from a “holy river” on the heels of a campaign to clean waterbodies.

The video of Punjab state chief minister Bhagwant Mann’s act of drinking water from the Kali Bein river in Punjab’s Sultanpur Lodhi city has gone viral after reports emerged of his subsequent alleged illness.

Mr Mann, who was elected the state’s chief minister in March, was admitted to neighbouring state Delhi’s Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on Tuesday, reported The Indian Express.

He fell ill with a #severe #stomach #ache at his residence in Chandigarh city and had to be airlifted to Delhi, the report said, citing sources familiar with the incident.

People soon started linking his reported illness to him drinking water from the river, considered to be holy.

I reached the REAL #SOURCE of the #GANGA River - JiemaYangzong Glacier on my way to touch Mt. #Kailash.
Everyone knows that #Lake #Manasarovar is the source of the #Brahmaputra #River, but few knows that the river’s true origin lies beneath the majestic peaks of Mount Kailash at the Jiemayangzong Glacier. On my journey from #Lhasa to #MountKailash, I drove 50 kilometers off the G219 main raod, traversing deserts and uninhabited areas to visit the Jiemayangzong Glacier—the true source of the Brahmaputra, which nurtures Asia’s greatest river. It is hard to imagine that the roaring waters, which surge through the lush forests of eastern Tibet and flow through the plains of India before eventually emptying into the Indian Ocean, originate from these snow-capped peaks and layers of glacial ice. This is where the lifeblood of Asian #humanity begins.

If Lake Manasarovar’s waters are revered and worth the long journey to Tibet, then its source, the Jiemayangzong Glacier, is even more magnificent and full of vitality. It deserves to be visited on your way to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. I fondly refer to it as the real source of life for humanity in Asia.

In addition to seeking out the source of the Brahmaputra River, I also visited the border between Tibet and Mustang region of Nepal at an elevation of 4,700 meters. Here, expansive pastures abound with thriving cattle and sheep, where lovely border Tibetan people and bustling Nepalese merchants coexist. Nestled deep in the Himalayas is a vibrant agricultural market. From this beautiful, vast, and fertile border pasture, the breathtaking views of the 8,091-meter #Annapurna snow peak and the undulating mountains are simply magnificent. This is a scenery that ordinary tourists seldom see, and I hope that when you travel to Mount Kailash in #Tibet, you will visit this place, which can become another unforgettable highlight of your journey to the western Tibetan Plateau.

Finally, I arrived in the town of Tarchen at the foot of Mount Kailash, where I will start my second #journey to touch the mt. Kailash since 2020.

Named after the #Chara #River that runs through the Sakha Republic of #Siberia, #Charoite shimmers with rare splendor. This #gem can only be found in one place in the entire world and it was only recently discovered in the 1940’s. Pieces of this precious purple gem are few and far between and as it was discovered at a unique geological formation known as a Mastiff, the odds are that big deposits of this stone may not be seen again. While it was found by the Chara River, the name may also be a nod to the Russian word for #magic charm, which is exactly what you get when you hold tight to a piece of Charoite.

Ranging from lilac wine to soft pink and darker purple hues, Charoite also boasts shades of quartz and manganese which weave in black and white to the color scheme. It comes from fibrous crystal masses which also helps bring about that swirling color scheme and gives it a textured appearance.

Charoite is a stone of deep transformation and #love. It‘s a soul stone with big bold energy. Charoite is full of emotional healing, spiritual strength, and helps to regulate us in the best of ways. For those who want a gem with high vibrations and the divine touch, Charoite could be it. Healers, sages, and those who work in the psychic realms (either with past lives or angels) all adore Charoite as it helps to create a space for the integration of energy.

If Charoite isn’t rocking your chakras, take a look at our healing guide to essential gemstones and find a stone that sings to you.

Healing Properties
Charoite is here to bring the #light. Splashed with purple potency, this stone is all about positive transformation. For clean slate thinking and welcoming great chance into your life, it's important to let go of negative energy and to practice being present in the here and now. Charoite helps you to cut through the noise, to embrace deep insight, and to live in accordance with your highest sense of authenticity too. A balancer of body, mind, and spirit, here’s how Charoite can bring the violet ray of light into your life.

Physical Healing
Charoite kicks off its #healing powers with the body as it uses those high frequencies to shift sickness and pain into health and prosperity. As a natural stress buster, Charoite is excellent at helping keep your blood pressure in check and can also help improve the health of your pancreas and liver. The serene energy can also be hugely beneficial to those who struggle with Asperger’s or ADHD. This purple talisman also works when it comes to detoxing the body too and can be a useful tool for those trying to cut back on any toxins. Finally, it can also be a savvy pain killer, helping to ease everything from muscle aches to migraines.

Mental & Emotional Healing
When it comes to your emotional wellbeing, Charoite doesn’t skip a beat. This stone calls on courage and gives your self-confidence a boost, reminding you that you can achieve all that you want in life. For those who are dealing with any kind of loss in their life, Charoite will pick you up, dust you off, and invite you to find the internal power to put a different spin on things. It’s a great stone for decision making as it brings clarity and it helps you to make choices based on love rather than being bogged down in fear. Charoite invites you to let go and when we do this, we are less likely to find ourselves locked in frustration but rather finding the sweet surprises that can be stashed in a situation.

Metaphysical Properties
Charoite is big #spiritual #energy. This potent #purple gem can cleanse your higher #chakras – removing blockages from the #heart chakra, the #thirdeye #chakra, and the #crown chakra too.

By cleansing the aura and opening our upper chakras, puts us in the perfect place to receive uplifting positive energies. Even beyond the open-hearted love, the wisdom of the third eye, and the universal connection from the crown, Charoite also helps us to adjust to a higher frequency which can expand our consciousness and even awaken a desire in us to ‘be at service’ to the world at large. Charoite connects us to individuals, dualities, and Mother Gaia.

#Hampi, located in #Karnataka, #India, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich #history and architectural marvels. It was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire from 1336 to 1565 and is renowned for its vast ruins that include temples, palaces, and market streets. Hampi is situated near the Tungabhadra River and is spread over 4,100 hectares, showcasing more than 1,600 remains of Hindu temples, forts, and other structures. The site is significant for its historical and cultural heritage, reflecting the grandeur of the last great Hindu kingdom in South India.

The name Hampi is derived from the old name of the Tungabhadra #River, Pampa, and it has a deep connection with Hindu mythology, particularly the Ramayana and the Puranas. Hampi's Virupaksha Temple, an active place of worship, is among its most notable monuments. The city was a prosperous, wealthy, and grand city known for its architecture and was considered one of the world's largest cities and probably India's richest during its peak. However, after the defeat by a coalition of Muslim sultanates in 1565, Hampi was abandoned and left in ruins.

Today, Hampi's ruins are a testament to its historical significance, attracting scholars, tourists, and pilgrims. The site includes various architectural and cultural attractions, such as the Virupaksha Temple, the Krishna Temple, and the Vittala Temple, showcasing the Vijayanagara Empire's advanced urban planning, architecture, and artistry. Hampi continues to be an important site for archaeological studies and conservation efforts, offering insights into India's rich past and cultural heritage.

One of our self-funded films is ‘ #Narmada, the #eternal #river’. Originating at #Amarkantak in #MadhyaPradesh, the #River-Narmada flows for about 1300 kilometers from east to west through the gorge between the Vindhya and the Satpura mountain ranges and merges into the sea near Khambat Sagar at Gadurreswar in #Gujarat.

This valley was formed by the struggle of active land parts of the #Precambrian era, along with the remains of primitive sea creatures and #dinosaurs.

For this reason, the Narmada has been considered the #oldest river in #India.

Along with the evidence of the presence of early #StoneAge #humans in the #caves of the valley, the continuous presence of numerous ancient #Sanatana sites situated on the banks of the river narrates the story of the continuous cooperation of this river in the development of India.

In this short documentary, made under the guidance of Shri Samanand Ji from the Saptmatrika temple of #Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, we have tried to showcase the enigmatic story of this eternal river from the geological, anthropological, and cultural points of view.

More importantly, the video is an informative and spiritual look at the Narmada River, one of the most #sacred rivers in India. The video begins with a montage of images of the river, from its source in the Vindhya Mountains to its confluence with the Arabian Sea. The voiceover then introduces the river's history and significance and discusses its importance to the cultures of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

The video then goes on to explore the river's natural beauty, from its lush forests to its pristine waterfalls. A few original audio tracks and numbers make this video more attractive. The video also features interviews with people who live along the river and share their stories and insights about the river's importance to their lives. Insights shared by some spiritually accomplished personalities enhanced the knowledge value of the video.

The video also unfolds the importance of Narmada Parikrama, which is a spiritual journey that involves the circumambulation of the Narmada River, a 3000-kilometre route, on foot, leaving behind all belongings and economic means! The #journey is said to be a way to cleanse oneself of sin and attain #moksha, or #liberation.

The short documentary had been selected for official screening at the Mahakaushal Short & #Documentary #Film Festival and later was awarded the best documentary award upon its showcasing at the Shaheed Smarak Auditorium, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, on 18th December, #2022!
