Seva Hi Sadhna Hai Initiative At Puri Rath Yatra | Adani Group's Initiave Gains Praise

During the divine celebration of Rath Yatra in Jagannath Puri, the Seva Bhav Initiative quietly brought food, relief, and safety to over a million devotees. Behind the vibrant visuals of chariots and chants, the Adani Group conducted a massive effort of compassion under the philosophy Seva Hi Sadhna Hai. The Seva Bhav Initiative, in collaboration with ISKCON and local heroes, ensured over 4 million sattvic meals were freshly prepared and distributed. The initiative was eco-conscious, with biodegradable plates and compost-ready waste systems, proving seva can be sustainable too. Rescue teams from the Nolia community saved 156 lives, equipped by the Adani Group—yet another arm of this selfless operation. From lifeguards to sanitation workers, from the police to railway staff—every unsung hero was honoured with the same prasadam served to devotees. #SevaBhavInitiative #PuriRathYatra2025 #AdaniGroup #PuriSeva #SevaHiSadhnaHai Also Read Lord Jagannath and Deities Return to Main Temple Following Annual Rath Yatra Ritual :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/lord-jagannath-returns-to-main-temple-after-rath-yatra-011-7795469.html?ref=DMDesc Industrialist Gautam Adani Attends Jagannath Rath Yatra With His Family In Puri :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/industrialist-gautam-adani-with-his-family-attend-grand-jagannath-rath-yatra-in-puri-7785761.html?ref=DMDesc Jagannath Rath Yatra 2025: Know About This Famous Celebration In Puri Along With Devotional Wishes :: https://www.oneindia.com/lifestyle/jagannath-rath-yatra-celebrating-unity-and-devotion-in-puri-011-7783525.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.100~HT.408~PR.282~

Adani’s 'Seva Hi Saadhna Hai' Pledge: From MahaKumbh’s 4 Million Meals to Puri’s Rath Yatra

In a land where devotion flows not just through rituals, but through service, the Adani Group has embraced a powerful truth: Seva is not just an act — it is Saadhna. Rooted in this philosophy, the ‘Seva Hi Saadhna Hai’ pledge is Adani’s sacred commitment to serving with humility, scale, and soul. What began as a monumental effort at the MahaKumbh — where over 4 million sanctified meals were lovingly prepared and distributed to pilgrims — continues now at one of India’s most divine festivals: the Puri Rath Yatra. As the majestic chariots of Lord Jagannath roll through the ancient city, Adani’s unbroken chain of seva ensures that every devotee is nourished, every offering is honored, and every step of faith is met with a gesture of care. From massive community kitchens to meticulously organized Prasad Seva, Adani’s service is seamless, silent, and spiritually aligned with the heart of the Yatra. #JagannathPuriRathYatra #JagannathRathYatra2025 #PuriRathYatra #RathYatra2025 #JagannathYatra #JagannathPuri #RathYatraLive #RathYatraAdaniNews #JagannathRathYatraStory #JagannathRathYatraLatestNews #SevaHiSaadhnaHai #AdaniSeva #PuriRathYatra2025 #JagannathRathYatra ~PR.152~HT.408~GR.124~

Spain’s DEADLIEST Summer: 1,100 KILLED As Heatwave RIPS Through Madrid & Seville | Worst Since 2022

Spain is reeling after a deadly 16-day heatwave claimed more than 1,100 lives, with temperatures soaring above 40°C nationwide. Officials reported 1,149 excess deaths, mostly among vulnerable seniors and women. Madrid and Seville were hit hardest, with the urban heat island effect amplifying conditions. Wildfires in Catalonia destroyed farmland and worsened air quality. Experts warn climate change has made heatwaves hotter, longer, and three times deadlier. Spain, already scarred by past deadly summers, now faces a mounting public health and environmental crisis. #SpainHeatwave #ClimateCrisis #HeatwaveDeaths #GlobalWarming #ExtremeHeat #UrbanHeatIsland #Madrid #Seville #Catalonia #Wildfires #AirQuality #ClimateChange #Heatwave2025 #DeadlyHeatwave #HealthCrisis #Environment #ClimateRisk #EuropeHeatwave #HotterPlanet #HeatwaveAlert #HeatwaveImpact #GlobalHeat #DisasterNews #SpainClimate #HeatDeaths #BreakingNews #HeatwaveSpain #ClimateEmergency #RisingTemperatures #SilentKiller Also Read Flash Floods In Pakistan Lead To Over 320 Deaths, Rescue Efforts Underway :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/flash-floods-in-pakistan-lead-to-over-320-deaths-rescue-efforts-underway-011-7831519.html?ref=DMDesc Major Reports on Climate Change Impact in the US Removed from Federal Websites, Affecting Public Access :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/major-reports-climate-change-us-removed-websites-011-7788857.html?ref=DMDesc Sirsa Criticises Kejriwal for Neglecting Delhi's Mahatma Gandhi Climate Institute :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/sirsa-blames-kejriwal-neglect-delhi-climate-institute-011-4118667.html?ref=DMDesc

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party. They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying. #MAGA #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #JDVance #RogerStone #USPolitics #MidtermElections #MAGAInc #PoliticalDonations #AmericaParty #ScottPresler #AlexJones #Republicans #GOP #TrumpMusk #PoliticalComeback #Election2026 #GeorgeSoros #RightWing #PoliticalDrama ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), calling her “Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. In a scathing Truth Social post, Trump compared Crockett to members of the progressive “AOC Plus Three” squad and claimed she was “only slightly dumber.” He boasted about “acing” his own test during a recent physical at a military hospital, alleging Democrats would “fail” in “a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.” Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, recently called him a “piece of s---” during a public event, drawing national headlines.

Trump Nominates Tammy Bruce To UN Post In Bold ‘America First’ Move Amid Foreign Policy Battles

President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage. Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions. #Trump #TammyBruce #UnitedNations #USPolitics #AmericaFirst #FoxNews #ForeignPolicy #SenateConfirmation #MikeWaltz #GazaWar #UkraineWar #Russia #Israel #ImmigrationPolicy #UNDiplomacy #WhiteHouse #PoliticalAppointments #USNews #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.346~
