ABLES INDIA

India has won 779 medals at the Asian Games since the inaugural edition in 1951. India finished with a record haul of 107, including 28 gold, at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou.

India finished its Asian Games campaign with a record haul of 107 medals (28 gold, 38 silver, 41 bronze) to finish fourth (on gold-medal count), improving on its 2018 tally of 70 medals, which included 16 gold.

India had its best-ever medal haul, beating the previous best medal tally of 70 medals, achieved at the 2018 Asian Games. It became the fourth nation to do so after China, Japan, and South Korea.

India was the best-performing nation in Archery, Kabaddi, Cricket, and Field Hockey. India won its first-ever gold in badminton. The gold-winning men’s hockey team automatically qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The Khelo India Scheme has done wonders in creating a powerful bench strength for India; 124 athletes trained under the Khelo India Scheme were part of the Indian contingent in the Asian Games this year.

The Khelo India Scheme, introduced in 2017, stands paramount in spotting and nurturing talent from the grassroots. The Khelo India scheme has impacted the complete sports environment, including facilities, coaching, recognition programs, effective functioning, sports economics, and competitive structure. The current sports policy approach empowers young individuals to engage in sports. Further, there are efforts to instill a culture of sports and fitness from an early age, exemplified by efforts like the FIT India Movement. A Pan-Indian Sporting culture is developed by identifying, developing, and encouraging talent in sports discipline.

However, while we celebrate this success, it is essential to remember that there is still much more to achieve. But looking at recent performance in multi-sport events, India will surely emerge as a sporting giant in upcoming events.

It is a motivational poem. It motivated many to understand the true meaning of life. I am happy to share that poem with all my readers.

On Guru Purnima, pupils worship their spiritual Gurus (Teachers or Gods) on this day for imparting their knowledge for living a happy life. Guru will help you in the spiritual journey and household life. Guru will give you intuition powers to decide what is good and bad for your life.

In yogic tradition, Lord Shiva, the first guru, began the transmission of Yoga to the Saptarishis.

It is also the birthday of Maharshi Vyas, who wrote ‘Mahabharata’ and other holy books. All the holy books of Hinduism dictate the importance of Gurus and the extraordinary bond between a Guru and his Shishya (disciple). A guru guides the spiritual progress of their students (known as shisha). Guru controls the fruition of karmas and protects his disciples. We can learn what truth, dharma or righteousness, renunciation, and love mean. Obedience to the Guru is considered very important. We celebrate Guru Purnima to honor and thanks our teachers, who remove the darkness from our minds. They have a special place in the lives of their followers since ancient times.

ॐ गुं गुरुभ्यो नम:।

ॐ परमतत्वाय नारायणाय गुरुभ्यो नम:।

ॐ वेदाहि गुरु देवाय विद्महे परम गुरुवे धीमहि तन्नौ: गुरु: प्रचोदयात्।

The Bhagavad Gita describes the guru as a self-realized soul who imparts transcendental knowledge to disciples.

In the modern world, gurus/teachers guide us to happy and prosperous life and career. One who guides us on the righteous path can be our gurus. It is a tradition to thank the teachers for their guidance and life lessons.
