Students Krivam Rastogi, and Nikhil Yalavarthy spearheaded a youth-led initiative, "Miles for Meals," to provide meals for underprivileged children in India. In its 4th year, the boys, assisted by classmates Tanay Bhandari, Taahir Shaikh, and Aneesh Tamaskar, more than doubled their initial goal, reaching $23,600.
The students were recognized at the Akshaya Patra Annual Gala at Playhouse Square and featured in India News International - Ohio's Asian-Indian Newspaper. Because of their civic engagement, nearly 1,200 Indian students will receive meals for an entire school year. Well done, boys and girls!

Sadhguru, RSS, ITServe Alliance, Sewa, HSS and Isha Institute of Inner Sciences!
I just learned about a 17,000-acre ‘spiritual community’ being built in Tennessee (951 Isha Lane, McMinnville, TN 37110) and somehow the same names keep showing up.
Despite how it may be billed, this is not just a yoga retreat. On Isha Foundation’s property, residents can build and own homes on 99-year ground leases. They can mortgage them and they can sell them, but Isha Foundation keeps ownership of the land underneath them. Isha says this helps “safeguard its ethos.”
But you can’t simply buy your way in;
- For Isha’s Kamala lots, the primary applicant must complete Inner Engineering Completion.
- For its studios and apartments, residents must be initiated into Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya.
The primary applicant must also participate in Kshetragna, which Isha describes as a lifelong commitment to daily spiritual practice under Sadhguru’s guidance.
Tennessee regulators now describe the property as a 17,000-acre site, with another 102 residential lots planned for lease to Isha members. How are they able to do this? Well, Sadhguru does not generally present this as conventional religion. He describes yoga as a “technology” and “science” of inner transformation.
Despite his characterization, Isha’s world is built around concepts like:
Shiva as Adiyogi.
Consecrated lingas.
Linga Bhairavi.
Karma.
Liberation.
Gurus.
Devotion.
Prana pratishtha.
In other words: ideas, rituals and sacred forms deeply rooted in Hindu and yogic traditions are often presented to Western audiences as wellness, technology and self-development instead of “religion.”
If you tell Americans “this is a Hindu spiritual tradition” they hear religion; but if you call Shiva, consecration, gurus and lifelong spiritual discipline “yogic technology,” many people hear meditation class.
Now follow the network behind this compound.
- Sadhguru → ITServe Alliance. Sadhguru was a keynote speaker at ITServe’s flagship Synergy conference.
- Isha → Sewa International
- Sewa partnered with Isha’s Save Soil campaign and mobilized its U.S. chapters behind it.
- Sewa has also explicitly listed Isha Foundation and Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) as partner organizations at U.S. events.
- Then there’s RSS. Sadhguru participated in the Positivity Unlimited series coordinated by a group formed of the RSS and its affiliates.
- Even RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat participated in the same series.
At what point does a “spiritual retreat” become a privately controlled town with its own rules about who gets to live there? Because 17,000 acres is a hell of a yoga studio.

Cleveland City Council Bags a Jain Councilman
Tanmay Shah: Voters in Ward 12 in City of Cleveland made a wise choice.
Tanmay Shah is the newest and youngest Cleveland City Councilman. His name suggests that he may have a Gujarati Jain background.
Arguably, Jainism is the best religion in the world. Is there any other religion that has Kshmavani? Is there any other religion that has Marasaheb? Is there any other religion that promotes non-violence as much as Jainism (and a lot of Jains) do?
Jains tend to be good people and are likely one of the best immigrant imports into our country from India. I hope the young Councilman Tanmay Shah keeps the valuable teachings of Jainism in mind as he gets along in his job.
Other City of Cleveland Councilpersons by Ward
- Ward 1: Joseph T. Jones
- Ward 2: Kevin L. Bishop
- Ward 3: Deborah Gray
- Ward 4: Kris Harsh

Ohio Governor Vivek Ramaswamy On Ideological Promotion
Candidate of Ohio Governor, Vivek Ramaswamy makes a good point. Its sad to see Indian American parents letting them use their own children for political ideological promotion...at least leave the children alone.

H-1B Visa Indian IT Consultants Body Shop Owners
Presumably American H-1B Consultancy Body Shop Owners are linked to India politicians & Tollywood and Bollywood film fruit loops. How much dough do they make?
![]() |
| Indian Congress (lefty) politician linked to H-1B Visa Program scam...its always them. |
H-1B visa scams pioneered
by Telugus from India
We can do simple math:
Lets say H-1B visa employee gets $25 per candidate on average. and he has roughly 200 H-1B visa employees.
Then the math is:
25 * 1920 * 200 = 9,600,000 ~ 10 Million USD revenue per year
Lets say cost to run business like pay staff, payroll, human resources services, rent for office spaces, immigration etc is 50% of revenue.
Then its safe to say H-1B visa consultancy employer gets 10 Mil - 5 Mil = 5 Million
If employer is running his company for about 10 years lets say, then his valuation both capital, securities and assets together included will be about close to : 50 Million.
Now this 50 Mil does not include personal losses, failed business ventures, loss in shares and crypto and other crazy investments people do when they see a lot of money in hand. In any case if you take out 50% for losses and other unusual and unforeseen expenditure., then we will end up with 25M.
Employr with a decent sized pool of consultants like 200 will be having around $25 Million. This is applies to sole ownership and not partners.
Lets say if there are 5 partners then each will get at least $5 million with such company.
5 Million USD ~ 350,000,000 INR (35 CR)
Hope this helps H-1B visa employees and those who are pro and MAGA Republicans.

Is India A Nation? How Can It Be?
India is not a nation, its made up of innumerable rotting potpourri silos of similar but different sub castes based on professions and founded on eugenics with Brahmins at the top. Each caste is a silo. India is an excessively populated tribal area loosely united based on language, caste, sub-caste, political party and human wretchedness and corrupt institutions. It also has 500 million poor people who are oppressed by fruit cakes in Bollywood and Indian classical arts which is now getting transferred and transmitted it to Indian American children unsuccessfully.
Recently, Government of India and some Indians were pompously offended by President Donald Trump re-posting Michael Savage's comment referring to India and China as hellhole. Apparently, it is assumed that someone gives a shit about the offense taken. The question is, Is India a hellhole or is it something worse or better than a hellhole? It doesn't matter. Its a mostly wretched area of mostly awful environment and it won't get better, ever and this why Indians, particularly those from IIT's get the fook out of India...they just don't leave India, they get the fook out of India, never to return under any circumstances.
There are no or few reasons to be proud to be an Indian or the Indian culture and heritage...how long are Indian Americans going to continue the charade and performance of Mahatma Gandhi and Shri Rama? BJP would probably say as long as they can milk Shri Rama for political purpose.

Grameen Bank said "bring the |
"The first and foremost thing that must be recognized is that Hindu Society is a myth. The name Hindu is itself a foreign name. It was given by the Mohammedans to the natives for the purpose of distinguishing themselves [from them]. It does not occur in any Sanskrit work prior to the Mohammedan invasion. They did not feel the necessity of a common name, because they had no conception of their having constituted a community. Hindu Society as such does not exist. It is only a collection of castes. Each caste is conscious of its existence. Its survival is the be-all and end-all of its existence. Castes do not even form a federation. A caste has no feeling that it is affiliated to other castes, except when there is a Hindu-Muslim riot. On all other occasions each caste endeavors to segregate itself and to distinguish itself from other castes. It is a social system which embodies the arrogance and selfishness of a perverse section of the Hindus who were superior enough in social status to set it in fashion and who had authority to force it on their inferiors.

| Rini Sampath, Mayor of Washington DC |
Each caste not only dines among itself and marries among itself, but
each caste prescribes its own distinctive dress. What other explanation
can there be of the innumerable styles of dress worn by the men and
women of India, which so amuse the tourists? Indeed the ideal Hindu must be like a rat living in his own hole, refusing to have any contact
with others. There is an utter lack among the Hindus of what the
sociologists call "consciousness of kind." There is no Hindu
consciousness of kind. In every Hindu the consciousness that exists is
the consciousness of his caste. That is the reason why the Hindus cannot
be said to form a society or a nation." - B. R. Ambedkar, one of the authors of Indian Constitution

| Castes of India |
INDIAN SOCIETY IS A BUCKET OF FROGS: Many Indian community organizations and Hindu temples in the U.S. are organized around: language and culture (Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Malayalam, Hindi, Punjabi, etc.) or religion (Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Muslim). Then there are folks who changed their religion (to escape their low caste or through force or for money, Indian Christians and Indian Muslims) and are now antagonistic to the religion of their ancestors. People from these diverse cultures and languages are like a bucket of frogs. There is always a clash of self interests and desire to dominate outsiders first and then insiders...its a shit show in a hellhole and you see it in every facet of their lives, in a direct or subtle manner.
Once a language or caste or state group gets into power, they don't want to relinquish it, there is a continuous and omnipresent idli, samosa and dhokla war for power and for money. These passively violent frogs don't have anything better going on in their lives except to pull other frogs down and loudly or secretively croak about it. These community organizations and Indian Americans will often unite only in one instance, when they want to butt heads with supremacist Indian Muslims or subcontinental Muslims except when it comes to far left pseudo liberandu foxes. Can these diverse people form a nation? Nope...so India is not a nation but a collection of thousands of unsecure sissy sub-tribes striving to climb the ladder by any means necessary.
Indian Americans looked the caste of Second Lady of the US, Usha Vance (nee Chilukuri) caste when JD Vance (I don't really care, Margaret) got selected as the Vice President in President Donald Trump's administration. I am certain most Indian Americans know and realize that Vivek Ramaswamy, candidate for Governor of Ohio is a Brahmin from South India given that its somewhat obvious from his name. Similarly people must have looked up the caste of Satya Nadella and Sundhar Pichai are probably Brahmins.
B. R. Ambedkar was wrong. Indian Hindus (and Indian Muslims) do have a consciousness of kind...its limited to their caste, their money and their power only. Casteism is a special kind of racism limited to Indian castes and subcastes...there are no rigid castes in animals. India integrated racism by establishing job reservations based on caste...just like Democrats did through woke DEI initiatives. Overall, human beings are shit, at times.
