Rest in Peace

In Memory of Mr. Botika Rajesh, a Techie Who Lost His Life Too Soon. A native of Nethivaripalli, Annamayya District.

In Remembrance of Mr. Rajesh. Mr. Botika Rajesh was much more than a techie, he was a devoted follower of ISKCON, a true lover of Krishna, and a passionate professional whose work touched countless lives. He dedicated his talents to building systems that simplified the world around him, embodying purpose in both technology and spirituality. Tragically, a condition as preventable as jaundice went undetected, a stark reminder of the silent risks we often overlook.We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. In this hour of grief, may they find strength in his memories and peace in the divine grace of Lord Krishna. May his noble soul rest in eternal peace. Hare Krishna.

Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla’s return to India likely by mid-August, grand reception planned

After a historic 18-day sojourn to the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla is likely to return to India during the week when the nation will celebrate the 78th Independence Day. Shukla, who piloted the Axiom-4 mission, and his three crew mates : mission commander Peggy Whitson, and mission specialists Tibor Kapu and Slawosz Uznanski, returned to Earth on Wednesday. Following a picture-perfect splashdown off the California coast, the crew were ferried on a chopper to Houston for medical examination, mission debriefing and other procedures.

“He is expected to arrive in New Delhi. There are plans to arrange a grand reception for Group Captain Shukla in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” an official said. →

Dinald Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that the ongoing negotiations between India and the U.S. for a much-anticipated interim trade deal are on track and it could be sealed soon.

US Secretary of State for the Treasury Scott Bessant has decided not to attend the meeting of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in South Africa on 17–18 July. It is the latest move underlining the new US administration’s withdrawal from global efforts on sustainable finance.

The US objects to the South African presidency’s overall G20 summit themes of solidarity, equality and sustainability. Critically this includes the work of the G20 Sustainable Finance Working group, which is focused on three priorities – strengthening the global sustainable finance architecture, scaling financing for adaptation to climate change and just transitions, and unlocking the financing potential of carbon markets.

In addition, the US has sought to block further work on climate risk in the Financial Stability Board, with the result that the organization has not extended its medium-term work plan. Scott Bessant has called for an overhaul of the IMF, describing its extensive work on the macroeconomic and financial stability aspects of climate change as ‘mission creep’. The US has also pushed the boards of the World Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to drop references to climate change from their strategy documents. →
