In July of 1932, he created an aviation department at the company; and began the first un-subsidized (i.e.: no mail contract from the British) domestic air service in India after receiving a license for through flights between Madras (Chennai) and Karachi via Bombay (Mumbai) on October 15th, 1932.

Rare earlier photos of Narendra Modi





Rare Pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Living as a Sadhu in his Youth

The following are some rare pictures of prime minister Narendra Modi living as a sadhu in himalayas in his younger age. According to Lord Krishna, the spiritual knowledge of Bhagavad Gita was originally meant for the raja-rishis, the saintly kings, who would help guide society with that divine knowledge.
evam parampara praptam
imam rajarshayo viduh
- Bhagavad Gita 4.2

"Through the spiritual chain of parampara the saintly kings understood this spiritual knowledge of yoga, union with the divine."

Let us pray that for first time modern India will be guided by a raja-rishi, and society will again be governed by dharma.

Places You Should Visit In India

Places You Should Visit In India Before You Visit Their Counterparts Abroad

“Your vision becomes clear when you look inside your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” - Carl Jung

1. Before you get lost in the beauty of Switzerland,



Find your piece of paradise in Kashmir.



2. Before you get drenched at the Niagara Falls,



Get drenched at the Chitrakoot Falls in Chhattisgarh.



3. Before you surf the sands of the Sahara,



Tame the dunes of the Thar.


4. Before you visit the Bonneville Salt Flats in America,



Visit the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat.



5. Before you take a trip to Madagascar,



Take a trip to the Andamans.



6. Before you chill on the beaches of Brazil,



Give the beaches of Goa a chance.



7. Before you go “Woah” about the bridges in Taiwan,



Go “Hoodi-Baba” at Howrah Bridge in Kolkata.



8. Before you feast your eyes on the flowers in Antelope Valley in the U.S.A,



Drink in the colours of the Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand.



9. Before you hear the roar of the African Lion,



Be awed by the majesty of the Royal Bengal Tiger.



10. If it’s French architecture you crave, why go all the way to Saigon in Vietnam,



When you can see it all in Pondicherry in India?



11. Before taking a stroll in a Japanese flower garden,



Take a romantic walk in Nainital.



12. Before you get dwarfed by the statue of “Christ The Redeemer” in Brazil,



Get dwarfed by Saint Thiruvalluvar’s statue in Kanyakumari.



13. And before you take selfies at the Arc de Triomphe in France,



Feel proud and take one at India Gate in New Delhi.
