\"\"NEW DELHI, INDIA, October 25, 2018 (CNN): India is set to unveil the world’s tallest statue next week, the towering figure of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a popular political and social leader, who was part of the freedom struggle that resulted in India’s independence from British colonial rule in 1947. Looming 182 meters (597 feet) above the Narmada River in the western Indian state of Gujarat, the statue is set to be unveiled on October 31, revealing a figure molded from approximately 1,850 metric tons of bronze.<\/p>\n

”In the world, people talk about America’s Statue of Liberty. We want to make a statue of Sardar Patel at twice the size of the statue of Liberty,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2013. The Statue of Liberty is 93 meters (305 feet) high, including its pedestal. The ambitious project was announced by Modi in 2010, when he was still the chief minister for the state of Gujarat. Built with funds allocated by the Gujarat state government, it has also received support from the federal government and individual contributions. The Statue of Unity is not the only one that is waiting to break records. A new statue dedicated to a famous Maharashtrian warrior, Shivaji, is being built in the Arabian ocean, just off the coast of Mumbai, set to reach a height of 212 meters (695 feet).<\/p>\n

TEA, SOUTH DAKOTA, October 15, 2018 (KSFY) – It’s the first of its kind here in South Dakota. Oct. 14th was the grand opening of the Hindu Temple of Siouxland. After almost ten years, people who practice the Hindu faith were finally able to enter their newly finished Temple. The celebration was open to the public. Temple members say everyone is always welcome to the Temple regardless of your religion. ”We have been dreaming about this temple for the last nine years, and today our dream has come true,” Ramesh Singh, Hindu Temple of Siouxland president, said. ”So, we all are very excited.”<\/p>\n

More than 100 people gathered at the Hindu Temple of Siouxland for the opening. Traveling for miles to practice their faith. But, the temple is not just for people who already practice the Hindu faith. ”Our Temple is a Hindu Temple it’s open to everybody,” Singh said. ”Anybody in the community they can come, they can just watch, they can worship.” With gaining interest in the religion in South Dakota, many practicing the faith have seen it grow the past few years substantially. ”Our community is growing, a lot of people there,” Singh said. ”And it’s not only for those who have parents, but our second generation, our third generation. We wanted to teach our kids our future generations, what is Hinduism.”<\/p>\n

\"\"To drink pure water from a shallow pond, one should gently take the water from the surface without disturbing the mud at the bottom. If you desire to be pure, have firm faith and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments. Keep your mind like clear water, for God is above all arguments.
