“Swipe fees are brutal. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard from a retailer that they pay more in swipe fees than they do for the rent or the mortgage on their businesses, which is crazy,” Fastime convenience stores owner Jigar “JP” Patel says. He says the #CreditCardCompetitionAct “would create one of the biggest cash flows for independents and be a big boon to this group, considering how much they currently pay on a monthly basis.” #creditcard #swipefees @RogerMarshallMD @SenatorDurbin @SenPeterWelch @LanceGooden @RepZoeLofgren @SenLummis @SenAngusKing @berniemoreno @NACSonline tinyurl.com/3stkey7t

Terror was met with courage. Courage was met with honour. President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed embraces Captain Smit Machchhar, hero of flydubai Flight FZ1073, honoured with the Order of Zayed II. In the UAE, bravery knows no nationality. Heroes are treated as heroes. 🇦🇪🇮🇳

Being fearless, not timid; being smart, not slimy; being gentle, not rude; and being skillful, not callous. These are all signs of the Daivi Shakti arising in you, and that is the celebration of Dussehra. #Vijayadashami #Dussehra

A groundbreaking scientific study has found that Sudarshan Kriya and Sahaj Samadhi can give you the anti ageing benefits of treatments and medicines worth millions of dollars!

Real power is not in position or possession. It is in your ability to remain calm and smile through challenges. An evening in New York!

Thank you @JDVance for being in Olathe today and for your support—and for telling Kansans exactly how woke Adam Hamilton is.

🔥 @JDVance on @RogerMarshallMD's Credit Card Bill: "He has been the leader on the fight against Wall Street to bring down out-of-control credit card swipe fees, which is going to make life more affordable for everyday Kansans and everyday Americans."

The name “Krishna” signifies absolute attraction. To overcome the illusions of the material world, one must find something far more captivating to focus on. Krishna is that ultimate attraction at every stage of life: a mischievous companion for children, a talented friend for the youth, a valiant hero for the courageous, “Yogeshwar” for seekers, a master strategist for leaders, and the source of ultimate wisdom for elders. #HappyJanmashatami

#WATCH | Bengaluru: AAP leader Manish Sisodia joined the celebrations marking 45 years of the Art of Living Foundation’s service to humanity at the Art of Living International Center in Bengaluru. AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann were also present at the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, Manish Sisodia says, "...I feel we are incredibly fortunate to have received the guidance and wisdom of a master like Gurudev (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) during our lifetime... Arvind Kejriwal and I have been blessed by Gurudev since around 2008... I continued to receive those blessings, yet, perhaps due to my own lack of readiness, a long time passed after 2008 during which I still hadn't learned the Sudarshan Kriya... As the saying goes, God orchestrates everything in His own way. I was sent to jail, of all places, to learn the Sudarshan Kriya. I hadn't done anything wrong... I feel that perhaps I was sent there for the sake of the books I had read and the wisdom I had gained... I learned the Kriya and practiced it extensively, reaching deep states of 'Samadhi'. I can say with certainty that if I hadn't found Sudarshan Kriya and the many books containing the essence of Gurudev's discourses, I wouldn't have been able to spend those 18 months in prison with such mental strength and resilience, neither during that time nor afterwards, nor perhaps even before it..."

इस समय नेपाल बड़ी आपदा का सामना कर रहा है। लापता यात्री और क्षति के बीच, हमें उन परिवारों के साथ खड़ा होना है। सब मिलकर प्रार्थना करें कि उन्हें शक्ति मिले।

The Supreme Court's judgment (Vyakti Vikas Kendra India vs. Manoj Misra & Ors., Civil Appeal No. 683/2018, 2026 INSC 910, decided 22.08.2026) Art of Living faced 10 years of a false narrative. The Supreme Court has set aside the 2017 NGT judgment against the @ArtOfLiving over the World Culture Festival 2016. Here's what the Supreme Court actually ruled — in its own words. 🧵

Thousands joined “The Journey Within” in Charlotte for an evening of wisdom, music, and meditation. Was warmly welcomed by State Senator @woodsonbradley, who proclaimed July 24 as “Art of Living Day” in the State of North Carolina. The Mayors of Gastonia and Concord also presented proclamations recognizing the work of the Art of Living and it’s service to communities across the state.
