Harbhajan leads India to innings victory at Eden

India thwarted stubborn resistance from South Africa's Hashim Amla and the tailenders to clinch a series-leveling innings and 57 runs victory in the second Test at Kolkata.

Playing a role of match winner, Harbhajan Singh (five wickets for 59 runs) and Amit Mishra (three for 78) claimed eight wickets as India beat South Africa by an innings and 57 runs on a thrilling final day in the second Test to level the two-match series 1-1 and remain the number one Test team in the world. South Africa was bowled out for 290 despite a fighting 123 not out by Hashim Amla.

The home team was in serious danger of losing the top spot after SA won the Nagpur Test last week and then bad weather on Wednesday allowed only 31 overs of play.

The victory ensured M S Dhoni's men retain the ICC Championships mace, which they won after beating Sri Lanka 2-0 in the home series in December last year.

Are Muslims Descendants of Lord Ram and Krishna? A Historical and Sanatan Perspective

  By   VRight Path Introduction The question of shared ancestry between Muslims and the ancient figures of Sanatan Dharma—such as Lord Shri Ram and Lord Shri Krishna —touches upon deep historical, spiritual, and genealogical currents in Indian civilization. While Islam as a religion was founded in the 7th century CE, the roots of Sanatan Dharma go back many thousands of years, based on scriptural and traditional timelines. In this article let’s explore whether Muslims may have ancestral ties to Lord Shri Ram and Shri Ram Krishna through historical conversions, and how various ancient Indian calendars— Shrishti Samvat , Saptarishi Samvat , and Kali Yuga —establish the antiquity of Sanatan Dharma far before Islam’s origin.

Respect Sanatan Culture: 10 Things Every Sanatani Must Know

  By   VRight Path ॐ गं गणपतये नमः In today’s fast-paced and globalized world, it's easy to unknowingly adopt words, habits, and concepts that may contradict the values of our timeless Sanatan Dharma. It’s important for every follower of this ancient tradition to understand and preserve the depth and dignity of our culture. Here are some essential points that every Sanatani should know and remember: 1. Say “Bhagwan Ram” or “Bhagwan Krishna” – Not “Lord” Ask yourself: Were Bhagwan Ram or Bhagwan Krishna ever members of England’s “House of Lords”? Then why use the title “Lord”? The English term does not carry the same spiritual reverence as the word “Bhagwan,” which signifies divinity and supreme consciousness in Sanatan Dharma. Let’s use our own respectful expressions:  Bhagwan Shri Ram ,  Bhagwan Shri  Krishna . 2. Avoid Saying “RIP” The phrase  Rest In Peace (RIP)  originates from burial customs and assumes the soul rests at one place. ...

Fire Incident at Kumbh Mela: A Year of Fire – Stay Alert
