Today, as I laid the foundation stone of Durga Angan in New Town, I was overwhelmed with a sense of elation and fulfillment. In 2021, UNESCO honoured our beloved Durga Puja with the distinguished recognition of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, acknowledging its universal resonance as both a spiritual invocation and a cultural celebration. The ceremony reflected the true spirit of Bengal. People across faiths, castes, communities, cultures, and generations gathered in collective reverence. In this moment, I saw the essence of unity, devotion, and shared pride that defines our land. This day will be inscribed in the golden pages of Bengal’s history. Durga Angan will be built across 17.28 acres, with a total constructed area of nearly 2,00,000 square feet. The complex is envisioned as a yearlong sacred sanctuary, open 365 days, welcoming close to one lakh visitors every day. The central courtyard will accommodate 1,000 devotees at a time, allowing prayer to unfold in a shared spiritual congregation. A 20-foot-wide circumambulatory path will be adorned with 1,008 pillars and delicately sculpted arches. The main sanctum will rise to 54 metres, echoing the architectural grandeur of our spiritual texts. In adherence to sacred tenets, 108 divine idols and 64 lion sculptures will be consecrated within the complex. Beyond the principal mandap, the premises will include individual mandaps for the Singhadwara, the Pradakshina path, a sacred Kund, and shrines for Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Lord Kartikeya, Goddess Lakshmi, and Goddess Saraswati. There will also be a dedicated space for prasad preparation and a cultural museum celebrating Bengal’s artistic and spiritual legacy. The entire temple complex will be landscaped with over 300 trees and 1,000 flowering plants. Designed as a gold-certified green building, the complex emphasises natural illumination, ventilation, and ecological balance, ensuring that divinity and nature breathe within the same sacred enclosure. A trust has been formed under the leadership of the Chief Secretary to oversee the upkeep, preservation, and management of this spiritual precinct. This initiative will not only enrich our cultural and spiritual expanse but also strengthen local enterprise, foster employment, and amplify Bengal’s stature on the world tourism map. Durga Angan will stand as a luminous confluence of Bengal’s spirituality and culture, a testament to unity in diversity that will welcome millions from India and across the world, inviting them to witness our art, heritage, devotion, and harmony. On the 5th of next month, I shall lay the foundation stone of the much-awaited Gangasagar Setu, and in the second week of next month, the foundation stone of the Mahakal Temple at Matigara, near Siliguri. These endeavours reaffirm our commitment to uplifting pilgrimage sites of every faith. We walk the path of unity, never division. I remain guided by the universal ideals of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, whose message of interfaith harmony lives at the core of Bengal’s soul. Every faith to me is sacred. Every community is equal. Humanity is the highest form of worship.

A Virtual Visit to Hinglaj Mata Temple in the Republic of Balochistan By: Mir Yar Baloch 19 April 2026 Today is the last day of a two week Hinglaj Mata Mela in the Republic of Balochistan. The annual Hinglaj Mata Naani Mandir Mela, which begins in the early days of April, is not merely a religious gathering t is a deeply emotional, cultural, and spiritual journey that echoes through centuries of devotion, resilience, and unity. Set against the rugged, majestic landscape of Balochistan’s Lasbela region, this sacred pilgrimage draws hundreds of thousands of devotees who travel across deserts, mountains, and borders to bow their heads at one of the most revered Shakti Peeths of Maa Bhavani. At the heart of this spiritual epic lies Hinglaj Mata, lovingly called “Naani Mandir” by the local Baloch people. This name itself reflects something profound: a sense of familial reverence, of shared belonging, where the divine is not distant, but close like a grandmother watching over her children. For generations, the Baloch people have embraced this sacred site not only as a religious landmark but as a symbol of coexistence, protection, and honor. It stands as living proof that faith can unite hearts across cultures, languages, and borders. The journey to Hinglaj is as meaningful as the destination itself. Pilgrims often travel in caravans, singing devotional songs, carrying flags, and sharing stories of faith and miracles. The air becomes filled with chants of “Jai Mata Di,” blending harmoniously with the winds that sweep across the arid mountains. Every step taken is seen as an act of devotion, every hardship a test of faith. When pilgrims finally reach the sacred cave shrine, many are overwhelmed with emotion tears of gratitude, hope, and spiritual fulfillment. Surrounding this holy site is the breathtaking Hingol National Park, one of the largest and most ecologically significant protected areas in the region. Spanning thousands of square kilometers, the park is a rare blend of coastal, desert, and mountainous ecosystems. It is home to diverse wildlife, including ibex, chinkara gazelles, marsh crocodiles, and numerous bird species. Unique rock formations, mud volcanoes, and the serene flow of the Hingol River add to its mystical beauty. The park is not only an ecological treasure but also a spiritual landscape, where nature itself seems to bow in reverence to the sacred presence of Hinglaj Mata. The mela attracts nearly half a million pilgrims every year, making it one of the largest religious gatherings in the region. Despite the challenging terrain, the spirit of hospitality shown by the Baloch people remains unwavering. Local communities actively participate in facilitating the pilgrimage offering food, guidance, security, and care. This deep-rooted tradition reflects a powerful cultural message: that protecting sacred spaces and honoring guests is a matter of pride and identity. Hinglaj Mata Mandir today stands as a bridge between Balochistan and India, connecting millions through shared faith and devotion. It transcends political boundaries and reminds the world that spirituality knows no borders. The temple’s status as one of the 51 Shakti Peeths further elevates its importance, making it a cornerstone of Hindu religious heritage. There is also a growing vision for the future—one that seeks to expand facilities, improve accessibility, and accommodate an even greater number of pilgrims. The aspiration to one day welcome millions more reflects not just ambition, but a commitment to preserving and sharing this sacred heritage with the world. Above all, the message to devotees is one of reassurance and hope: that Hinglaj Mata’s doors remain open, her blessings universal, and her land welcoming. The dream of easier access, including visa-on-arrival issued by the Republic of Balochistan for Hindu pilgrims from around the world, symbolizes a future where faith journeys are guided by devotion rather than restricted by borders. In the end, the Hinglaj Mata Naani Mandir Mela is more than an event it is a living story of faith, unity, and humanity. It is where deserts bloom with devotion, where strangers become family, and where the divine presence of Maa Bhavani continues to inspire millions with courage, compassion, and unshakable belief.

THE JOHANNESBURG PROPERTY COMPANY’S GRACE AND FAVOUR LAND DEALS In the final instalment of my series on the foreign takeover of what was once an upscale, leafy suburb neighbouring the affluent Bedfordview enclave in the East Rand and Kensington in Johannesburg, we can now more openly explore the potential corruption linked to Helen, the CEO of the Johannesburg Property Company, and the suspiciously low-priced fire sales of valuable city-owned land in Johannesburg. One likely explanation involves the extent to which these and other properties have been offloaded under dubious circumstances, when they should never have been sold at all. A recurring theme is the acquisition of properties that serve as key transport hubs. The suspicion is that the entities behind these purchases, including the Erf 133 properties, are biding their time, expecting Johannesburg will eventually be forced to buy them back—at vastly inflated prices. This is exactly what's unfolding with the Jabulani Property and Calgro M3. A small portion of the Erf that was initially sold for just R1.00 is now allegedly being sold back to the council for R45 million. Similarly, the Chinese owners of the Bruma property, who recently evicted the taxis using the land—with no alternative location for the taxi rank—are now lying in wait for the City of Johannesburg to make them an offer they can't refuse. It is important to understand that Johannesburg Property Company does not have the authority to dispose of land at will and that rules do apply, even to Helen Botes. The authority under which Johannesburg may dispose of land derives from its supply chain management policies; in particular, its “Supply Chain Management Policy: Land” (“SCMP:L”). This is under the auspices of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (the “MFM Act”) The copy of the SCMP:L, which I have been able to locate, is, in fact, unsigned, so its authenticity needs to be established. However, the City of Johannesburg must supply an authentic copy, valid as at the relevant dates (from 2010 onwards). Assuming that my copy is authentic, the following is of relevance: 1. The thrust of the SCPM:L is to ensure that the Johannesburg land is disposed of in a fair and transparent manner. 2. “Available vacant land” is defined in the SCMP:L as “land not necessary to provide minimum municipal services, including but not limited to gardens, parks and similar facilities…..” 3. Section 7 (2) (a), which provides that the accounting officer (the Municipal Manager of Johannesburg) may not delegate his or her power and duty to make an award exceeding R 10 million; 4. Section 12 (1) (b), which states that the alienation strategy should “ensure that irreplaceable land is not lost to COJ (City of Johannesburg) or the public, taking into consideration the principle that COJ land should not be sold, but should rather be made available for use or development purposes by means of long-term and short-term leases;” All of this, of course, hinges on the condition that the land actually generates revenue for Johannesburg, rather than being handed out in grace-and-favour deals to foreign investors. With the taxi rank now forced to use the main road through Bruma for parking, creating a significant traffic issue, and as complaints continue to pour in about the taxis clogging the road, the theory gains traction: it’s only a matter of time before the City of Johannesburg will have to approach the Chinese owners and buy back the land to accommodate the planned transport hub in the area. I reached out to the Johannesburg Property Company for details and comments regarding the alienation of Erf 133 in Bruma. Specifically, I asked whether the City of Johannesburg had indeed been paid for the land, requested evidence of the payment, and inquired about the total amount received and any outstanding balances.... 1/2

Left Behind... Those ‘left behind’ in this 3D timeline won’t see people vanish in front of them. Nor will the ones who shift. Not only will everything change INSTANTLY – it will be as if it had ALWAYS been that way. Like waking from a dream. The Event and Open Contact are described many times in scripture. Matthew 24:40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Luke 17:24 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 1 Corinthians 15:51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed – in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. Refs to clouds, ‘in the air’, whirlwinds etc. are simplistic descriptions of Craft. In updated words – Jesus will return as he left – on a Craft. Most importantly it is the CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS returning. New Heaven and a New Earth. Unity Oneness. Heaven is not a physical location in the Universe. It’s a simple term to mean HIGHER dimensions where negative vibrations can’t exist.. Our origin and destination. Humans will soon share the same density as other Galactic races and join them as a Galactic civilization. Like Dolores says in this video... As we ascend out of this 3D world we are finding out we are losing our memory this is because when heading to the 5th dimension “KNOWING” is the way we will operate. Meaning… your memory is disappearing to encourage you to use your intuition ability. Dolores calls this entire process rewiring, I call it calibrating. Again, the ending won't be for everyone. I get some flack when I say all won't ascend. How I see it... It's all about frequency? If you are not at that frequency (tipping point) to begin with, there's no option for you to ascend. Plain and simple. You ain't lying your way into "Heaven" 😏 H/T Teri Wade

‼️ Welcome to City of Santa Monica where the city-owned ice skating ⛸️ & roller rink, encompassing an entire city block, is slated for demolition to be gifted essentially to developers to be turned into low income and homeless housing! The same city has already destroyed one major downtown parking structure blocks from here, is planning to destroy another larger parking structure, and is about to demolish Bergamot station, one of the nations largest public arts complexes, which serves the entire community and is home to countless visual and performing artists. If you are an honest, hard-working, tax paying citizen, paying some of the highest taxes on earth, what do you get in return? Completely destroyed public infrastructure, with no places for families to go. But if you decide to come here and be homeless, you are rewarded with a free brand new condominium for life steps from the Pacific Ocean. With everything paid for for eternity. This is what they call permanent supportive housing. Mayor Pro Tem Councilmember Caroline Torosis and her supporters on the council, including housing lobbyist Jesse Zwick (yes there is a full-time registered housing lobbyist elected to the city council!) our hell Bent on leveraging California’s surplus land act to arbitrarily declare every city owned property as surplus so that they could justify gifting it to developers to turn into low income and homeless housing. Gavin Newsom & Senator Scott Wiener have turned this state into an absolute disaster. Do not allow them to roll out their destructive policies to the entire nation.

Would you want to be a teacher on your staff as a principal? I have often asked teachers, would you want to be a learner in your own classroom, but the question above for administrators could be even more critical. If we do not support those closest to students every day in an effective manner, it is much harder for things to improve in schools. If we want learning to look different in classrooms, then leadership must also evolve. This doesn’t mean that everything done in the past has been wrong. Some things that mattered 50 years ago will matter now, both in learning and leadership. But replicating everything that was done in the past, whether it was effective or not, isn’t a great strategy for moving schools forward. I was blessed to learn from some amazing principals in my career, but I also learned about things that I hated as a teacher and swore that I would do my best not to replicate those strategies. I wrote this in my upcoming book co-authored with Allyson Apsey (Allyson Apsey) titled, “What Makes a Great Principal”: “If we do things in our schools and classrooms that were done hundreds of years ago that still work today, we should continue to do them. On the other hand, if we do new stuff just because it is new, but it doesn’t work, we shouldn’t be doing it. Whatever works for our community is where our focus should be, no matter when it originated.” What worked in the past? What would you change? What would you have wanted as a teacher, and how can you make that happen? Simply replicating the strategies of the past, whether good or bad, will not necessarily lead education to a better future. Innovation is crucial to leadership as much as it is to teaching and learning.

America violated the freedom of the natives in order to build the freest nation in history. According to Machiavelli, this is not hypocrisy; this is necessity. Be it Rome, Ancient Israel, or Persia, all great nations are founded by ruthlessness: there is no other way. This is the interpretation of the great Machiavelli scholar Leo Strauss who writes: “America owes her greatness not only to her habitual adherence to the principles of freedom and justice, but also to her occasional deviation from them. [Machiavelli] would not hesitate to suggest a mischievous interpretation… of the fate of the Red Indians… there cannot be a great and glorious society without the equivalent of the murder of Remus by his brother Romulus.” Strauss brings in Machiavelli to combat two dominant views on America’s founding. The right wants to whitewash and hide this founding murder: they blame disease; they point to how “backward” the natives were; they want this period of history hidden in textbooks to preserve America’s pristine moral image. The left, on the other hand, seeks to expose and guilt: they tear down statues; denounce their ancestors; and want this injustice seared into the minds of each American. For Machiavelli, both sides are equally misguided, and for the exact same reason. The right buries its head in the sand and ignores the brutality. The left implicitly assumes that it could have been otherwise: that you can build your shining city on a hill, preserve the original city, while everyone sings kumbaya. Both voices are afraid to own up to the true cost of freedom. Machiavelli writes: “there is no secure mode to possess [a city] other than to ruin them. And whoever becomes patron of a city accustomed to living free and does not destroy it, should expect to be destroyed by it.” It is tough and ruthless men, willing to violate their deepest principles, who get you to a state of strength where you can actually realize those principles. As the saying goes, tough men make peaceful times. But Machiavelli thinks that people living in peace tend to forget this. Because peaceful times are so easy, you delude yourself into thinking that toughness was never needed. So you either whitewash like the right or denounce like the left. Peaceful times make weak men. And so, to not let weak men make tough times, Machiavelli’s role as teacher is to constantly remind you of the treachery of founding and the true cost of politics. If he were writing a textbook on American history it would be filled with acts of America’s ruthlessness — not to be denounced but to be imitated — just as his books are filled with ruthless Roman leaders for his fellow Italians to learn from. In this lecture, you will learn about the terrifying things you need to do to build a free, equal, and lawful society. And, as always, I will withhold my own opinion and critiques for the end after a charitable reconstruction. Timestamps: 0:50 America's Founding Murder 11:03 The American Case for Technology Theft 18:29 Why Machiavelli Loves the Vulgar 35:56 Machiavelli Really Dislikes the Elites 46:58 Why co-CEOs Never Work 59:43 Wokeism is the Capitalist’s Best Friend 1:18:35 Corrupt People Cannot Be Reasoned With 1:21:08 My Own Views on Machiavelli

some words : i wanted to create something referential to Mexico City, Museo Diego Rivera Anahuacalli and the culture. i kept finding myself reading about cenotes (sinkholes). i loved the idea of exploring cenotes as a subject. sudden, massive drops right in the middle of solid ground. in mayan mythology, they were literal gateways to xibalba, the underworld. that’s where the title comes from. for the ancients, falling into that darkness meant crossing over into the realm of gods and myth. today, we’re all just nomads wandering an endless, hypersaturated landscape of information. we pace in circles, fully suited up for a daily routine of infinite impulses. but instead of sacred underground rivers, the voids we face now are just massive black holes where our time goes to die. they are the endless scrolls, the digital rabbit holes, the mindless distractions where we willingly dump hours of our lives. the prompt asks what carries enough meaning to become myth in an age of infinite information. maybe it’s not some grand story or hero. maybe our modern myth is the void itself, this collective, shared experience of sleepwalking through life, constantly getting swallowed by the things that waste our time. the art is a 1:50 video (100mb), made using procreate, midjourney for model generation, after effects, and a combination of two of my dumb vfx robots. on the score - i wrestled with the composition of the music for some time. it was important that the music met the theme - dark, but hopeful, ominous at times, but also left the listener with a feeling of something deeper but unexplained. a heartfelt thank you to Museo Diego Rivera Anahuacalli, Jared_poz: 8NAP Founder, 8NAP ART and SuperchiefGalleryNFT for including me in what is now my first museum exhibition. edition of 100 - releasing tomorrow. link to follow. ➕

Elon Musk: Since I bought Twitter, no left-wing voice has been banned or suppressed. “I just bought Twitter because I thought it was having a negative effect on civilization and pushed ideas that were anti-civilizational. It was captured by the far-left—I'd say it's fair to say the radical left. That meant it wasn't a good forum for debate because they suspended many people on the right, including the president, as you may recall, a sitting president, which is really unprecedented. I think we need to have a public square where there's true freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy. If there's not freedom of speech, people cannot make an informed vote. And if you can't make an informed vote, you don't have a real democracy. The purpose of acquiring Twitter was to try to bring it more to the center. No left-wing voices have been banned or anything like that or suppressed. But what we're trying to do is give equal weight to all parts of the country so that they can be a public town square where people can exchange ideas and hopefully not resort to violence. Free speech is the bedrock of democracy. It's why it's the First Amendment, because people came from countries where they could be killed or imprisoned for what they said. And in fact, this is happening all around the world as we speak, even in places like Britain. Anyway, I did it because I felt like the civilizational risk had to be addressed. If America is not strong, then what do businesses matter? America is the central pillar that holds up Western civilization, and if that pillar falls, everything falls.” From: Barron Investment Conference, November 14, 2025

ELON: EARTH IS NOT OVERPOPULATED—IT’S UNDERPOPULATED “A lot of people believe that the Earth can't sustain this level of human population, which is utterly untrue. It may seem in a crowded city that there are a lot of people, but actually, if you look down on an airplane and you say, look down, am I over a person? When you're on an airplane, the answer is no 99.9% of the time. All of the humans on Earth can fit on one floor in the city of New York. The cross sectional area of all humans, 8 billion humans, is small. So, we have this totally wrong idea that the Earth is overpopulated, when in fact it is underpopulated. We're starting to see pro-natalist politicians like Viktor Orbán, Giorgia Meloni, and hopefully more as time goes by. These have to translate into actual actions that change the birth rate or it doesn't matter. And so far, I've not seen any country making a meaningful dent in the birth rate. I would change the education system so that people are stopped being taught that we're overpopulated. A lot of it comes from this insane misanthropic book that Paul Ehrlich wrote, The Population Bomb. I hope he burns in hell that guy, seriously. The Earth can absolutely sustain its population. We could double or triple the population. There's a professor I was talking to at Oxford, his math says we could 10x the population without destroying the Amazon rainforest or anything terrible. I think we should expand the human population and increase the scope and scale of consciousness so we can better understand the nature of this universe, this wonderful universe and all the amazing things that exist. We need to stop teaching people false propaganda that the Earth is overpopulated.” Source: Elon Musk, Interview with Tucker Carlson, October 2024

🇯🇵 Japan is trending on X today. Good. It’s long overdue. Let me tell you three things about this country that will quietly rearrange everything you thought you knew about human nature. And animal nature, for that matter. Someone left an iPhone on a bench in Tokyo. Not in a sleepy suburb. In Tokyo, a city of thirty-seven million people, most of them late for something. The phone sat there. The next day, it was still there. Which means that every single person who walked past it made a small, private decision: not my phone. Leave it. In most cities, that phone would have had the life expectancy of a mayfly in a thunderstorm. Then there are the football fans. Japan plays a match, the stadium shakes, and then they tidy up. Every wrapper, every cup, every last plastic bag. They leave the stands cleaner than they found them. As a matter of course. As if it simply never occurred to them to do anything else. And then there is Nara. In this ancient city, over a thousand wild deer roam freely among temples and schoolchildren and tourists. They have lived alongside humans for thirteen centuries, considered sacred messengers of the gods. They will walk up to you, look you in the eye, and bow. Deeply and deliberately. It is, I should mention, a learned trick to get rice crackers. But here is the thing: somewhere along the way, a deer decided that the correct way to ask a human for something was to bow politely first. In Japan, even the wildlife has manners. No law requires any of this. No fine threatens it. It emerges from something much harder to legislate: the quiet, unshakeable conviction that the space around you is shared, and therefore your responsibility. Three small stories. One very large idea. The rest of us might want to take notes. ありがとう、日本。 Thank you, Japan. Gandalv / Gandalv
