A 70-year-old man from Kalaburagi (Gulbarga) district in Karnataka has completed an extraordinary journey, walking hundreds of miles to Kedarnath Dham in Uttarakhand. The trek took him nearly two months to finish. The elderly devotee revealed in a now-viral video on X (formerly Twitter) that he started his spiritual padyatra from Kalaburagi on March 3 with a group of other pilgrims and reached the Kedarnath Shrine on May 1. Over two months, the group trekked across plains, forests, and mountains, covering an incredible 2,200 miles on foot. As the group arrives at the temple, one of Uttarakhand's revered Char Dham sites, they are seen celebrating. Now, a video of the septuagenarian and his friends at Kedarnath has gone viral, inspiring praise for their tenacity and dedication. The pilgrim in the video claims that when one is blessed by God, such a journey is achievable. In addition, the elderly pilgrim talks about the spiritual fortitude that enabled him to accomplish this. The video was shared on X on May 15, and it has collected over 2 lakh views so far. Many viewers were moved by the clip and commended the pilgrims for their tenacity, devotion, and physical stamina. The passion displayed by the septuagenarian and his friends has inspired social media users, who have praised their voyage. A user wrote, 'Only pure bhakti can lead to that kind of achievement. Har Har Mahadev." 'Bowing down to such unwavering devotion, these elderly devotees walked 60 days from Karnataka to Kedarnath for Baba Kedar's Darshan. A journey of pure faith," numerous people showed their profound respect, as one comment stated. 'Unmatched Devotion," another user remarked on X. One of the most respected pilgrimage locations in India is Kedarnath, which is tucked away in Uttarakhand's Garhwal Himalayas.

Massive Vehicle Rally in Goa Marks Prelude to Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnad Mahotsav
Ponda (Goa): Thousands of devotees from across India participated in a large-scale vehicle rally in Goa on Friday to mark the commencement of the Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnad Mahotsav. Organised by Sanatan Sanstha, the rally served as a prelude to the three-day event beginning Saturday at the Engineering College ground in Farmagudi, Ponda. The procession began near the Sanatan Ashram in Ponda, with vehicles proceeding through key locations including Kavale-Tisk Ponda, Shantinagar Junction, Goa Bagayatdar, Ponda Post Office, and Shree Hanuman Temple, before culminating near the historic fort at Farmagudi. Simultaneously, convoys of vehicles carrying participants entered Goa through border points such as Patradevi in North Goa and Canacona in the South. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation, with saffron flags displayed on two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and buses. Participants chanted slogans including 'Har Har Mahadev', 'Sanatan Dharmacha Vijay Aso' (Victory to Sanatan Dharma), and 'Jayatu Hindu Rashtram' (Victory to the Hindu Nation). Streets along the procession route were adorned with rangoli, and traditional aarti rituals were performed by women at several locations to welcome the procession. The rally was flagged off with a ceremonial worship of the Dharma Dhwaj (flag of Dharma), conducted by former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Arun Desai. Sanatan Sanstha spokesperson Abhay Vartak described the event as a 'spiritual pilgrimage,' drawing a parallel with the annual warkari pilgrimage to Pandharpur. 'On the occasion of the 83rd birth anniversary of Sanatan Sanstha's founder, Dr Jayant Balaji Athavale, thousands of devotees from India and abroad have arrived in Goa. This is more than a rally—it is a demonstration of collective devotion,' Vartak said. Organisers claimed it was one of the largest such religious gatherings the state has witnessed in recent times. Police and local officials were deployed along the route to ensure order and manage the flow of traffic. The Sanatan Rashtra Shankhnad Mahotsav, which opens formally on Saturday, is expected to feature a series of discourses, cultural events, and discussions on spiritual and socio-cultural issues. Participants and spiritual leaders from across India are scheduled to attend.

Sooraj Pancholi talks about actors getting films despite 15 flops in Bollywood: 'I really want to prove everybody wrong'
Sooraj Pancholi , son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab , made his acting debut with the 2015 romantic action movie 'Hero'. He later appeared opposite Megha Akash in the 2019 action drama 'Satellite Shankar'. Recently, in his first podcast after being acquitted following a 12-year legal battle, Sooraj expressed doubts about Bollywood offering second chances and described himself as a newcomer to the industry. Doubts About Bollywood as a 'Second Chance Industry' Talking to Bollywood Bubbles, Sooraj discussed the idea of second chances in Bollywood and expressed doubt that the industry truly functions as a "second chance industry." He noted that many actors have faced numerous failures-sometimes as many as 15 flops-yet continue to receive new film offers. Operation Sindoor PM Modi meets NSA, chiefs of armed forces amid spike in tensions with Pak India's air defence systems shoot down Pak drones in J&K, Punjab & Rajasthan Several airports in India to be closed till May 15 - check list Drawing inspiration from Arnold Schwarzenegger 's life story, Sooraj highlighted how Arnold endured a difficult struggle trying to break into Hollywood, but eventually, one breakthrough film transformed his career, making him a global superstar. He believes that in life, whether it's a second, third, fourth, or fifth opportunity, the film industry is just one part of the bigger picture, and life itself presents many chances in various forms. Facing Stigma and Staying Motivated Addressing the stigma he faces following his legal battle, Sooraj admitted that such judgment is inevitable and will always persist. However, he views this as a driving force, pushing him to work twice as hard as before. He shared, 'I have to really perform and deliver twice as much as I could before. And in a way, it's good, because it's kept me so motivated. I really want to prove everybody wrong.' While acknowledging that he still has much to learn about his craft, Sooraj remains hopeful that with a few more films, he will reach a strong and successful phase in both his personal and professional life. Starting Fresh: A Newcomer's Mindset Sooraj described himself as a newcomer, feeling like he is starting fresh all over again. He emphasized that he has taken care of his mind, body, soul, and energy to prepare himself for this new beginning. For him, meditation meant going to the gym and sweating it out through weight training, boxing, and following a strict diet, which served as his way to relieve stress. He recommended this approach to anyone experiencing anxiety, stress, sleepless nights, or depression, explaining that sweating it out helps release not just calories but also stress. He believes this routine significantly reduces anxiety. Additionally, Sooraj mentioned that he continues to pray internally, often chanting 'Har Har Mahadev' as a source of inner strength and calm.
