Vatsalyagram Project and Yoga University in Gujarat

Among other immortal poles Bengal and Gujarat two poles of East and West are wonderful. So many immortal souls of our nation originate from these poles as Narashimha:

Hiranyakashipu eventually becomes so angry and upset at his son's devotion to Vishnu (who he sees as his mortal enemy) that he decides he must kill him but each time he to attempts to kill the boy, Bhakt Prahlada is protected by Vishnu's mystical power. When asked, Prahlada refuses to acknowledge his father as the supreme lord of the universe and claims that Vishnu is all-pervading and omnipresent. To which Hiranyakashipu points to a nearby pillar and asks if 'his Vishnu' is in it:

"O most unfortunate Prahlada, you have always described a supreme being other than me, a supreme being who is above everything, who is the controller of everyone, and who is all-pervading. But where is He? If He is everywhere, then why is He not present before me in this pillar?"

Prahlada then answers, He was, He is and He will be. In an alternate version of the story, Prahlada answers He is in pillars, and he is in the least twig. Hiranyakashipu, unable to control his anger, smashes the pillar with his mace, and then following a tumultuous sound, Vishnu in the form of Narasimha appears from it and in defence of Prahlada moves to attack his father. In order to kill Hiranyakashipu and not upset the boon given by Brahma, the form of Narasimha was chosen. Hiranyakashipu could not be killed by human, deva or animal, Narasimha is neither one of these, as he is a form of Vishnu incarnate as a part-human, part-animal. He comes upon Hiranyakashipu at twilight (when it is neither day nor night) on the threshold of a courtyard (neither indoors nor out), and puts the demon on his lap (neither earth nor space). Using his nails (neither animate nor inanimate) as weapons, he disembowels and kills the demon.

I read news at DNA on May 20, 2013 titled “Narendra Modi lauds Sadhvi Ritambhara for 'Vatsalyagram' project.” Three days thereafter I read other news titled “Gujarat: Narendra Modi inaugurates country's first yoga university in Ahmedabad” Then suddenly one event awoke my memory:  

I was attending second year OTC at Nagpur before 1960. At that time swayamsevaks of Chhattisgarh luckily got opportunity to complete their first and second year OTC also at Nagpur along with third year. At that time I found one swayamsevak of Gujarat. I wondered when he said to me that he was the student of college which gave training of hair cutting saloon profession. I thought that I am not wrong. We may still wonder to hear this but not so to hear hotel management course.  

At that time Adarniya late SudarshanJi gave us ‘Dand Abhyas’. Shareerik Pramukh was VaradpandeyJi. I heard about him that at that time he was fully devoted to OTC camp. Though marriage ceremony was also going on but he went only at the time of “Phere: seven rounds of wedding’. If I am wrong then any swayamsevak or adhikari may correct me.

Like that to read about the 'Vatsalyagram' project of Sadhvi RitambharaJi and Yoga University, many may be wondered. Really I feel relax to read this because I am tired to read daily every hour news of corruption VVIP Choppergate to Spot fixing IPL via 2G Coalgate and so many other scam gates. Corrupt congress leaders sellers of secularism may be busy to find the corruption and communalism in Yoga and Vatalya also: Pilye ko sab pila dikhta hain and like that corrupt ko sab corrupt hi dikhte hain..

I reflect my personal views in my articles. These should not be treated as the official views of any organization.

Araceli Roiz

Phaneesh Murthy was asked to leave iGate because Araceli Roiz, the company’s head of investor relations, was allegedly pregnant with his child, and the Fremont, California-based IT firm faced the risk of a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

Murthy told the iGate board of his relationship with Roiz only after she informed him that she will be taking legal action against him, Roiz’s legal firm Aiman-Smith & Marcy said in a statement released early this morning May 24, 2013.

“When Araceli Roiz refused to have an abortion, Mr. Murthy attempted to get her to leave the company and keep their relationship a secret,” her legal firm Aiman-Smith & Marcy said in a statement released early May 24, 2013.

“It was not until after Ms Roiz refused to do so and informed him that she would be seeking legal representation and her lawyers contacted Mr. Murthy’s counsel that he reluctantly informed the Board of the relationship, just before the Board would have learned on its own from other sources. On behalf of Ms Roiz, we are contemplating next steps, which will certainly include court action against Mr. Murthy and iGate.”

Controversy now

Araceli Roiz, currently head of investor relation at i-GATE's US office (as on her profile) has filed a complain of sexual harassment against Murthy. i-GATE did investigation externally and found him guilty of not disclosing relationship and fired him. Nowhere the i-GATE has mentioned that he is guilty of sexual harassment. There are also reports in media that Roiz is pregnant and planning to file a lawsuit against Murthy.

------------

In a press release issued in the early hours of this morning of May 23, 2013 , Araceli Roiz’s lawyers claim she was pregnant with Murthy’s child

Phaneesh Murthy was allegedly asked to leave iGate because Araceli Roiz, iGate’s head of investor relations, was pregnant with his child, and the Fremont California based IT firm faced the risk of multi-million dollar lawsuit.

 

In a statement released early this morning by her legal firm Aiman-Smith & Marcy, said, “When Ms Roiz refused to have an abortion, Mr. Murthy attempted to get her to leave the company and keep their relationship a secret.  It was not until after Ms Roiz refused to do so and informed him that she would be seeking legal representation and her lawyers contacted Mr. Murthy’s counsel that he reluctantly informed the Board of the relationship, just before the Board would have learned on its own from other sources. On behalf of Ms Roiz, we are contemplating next steps, which will certainly include court action against Mr. Murthy and iGate.”

 

Earlier in the evening Forbes India had asked Phaneesh Murthy if Ms Roiz was carrying his child. In a brief statement sent through his spokesperson Murthy said, “There are always two sides to the truth and now that the matter is definitely heading to court, I can't comment anymore.”

 

In an investor call on Tuesday, May 21, iGate said Roiz was on a medical leave. 

 

On May 21 when the news of his resignation became public, Murthy had spoken to forbes over telephone from his residence in Fremont, California. He said he had informed the Chairman of the Board of his relationship with Ms Roiz “a couple of months back”. When asked why he chose that time to speak to the Chairman, Murthy said, “There were a variety of reasons”. He refused to say anymore than this.
