Sadhana TV Begins Telecasting Hindi Programmes On Word of God
 

NEW DELHI, FEB. 3, 2008 (CBCI News):

 

Sadhana Channel has begun transmitting a television programme titled "Nutan Dhara" based on the Word of God from Saturday, 2nd February, 2008, the feast of the Presentation of Jesus.

"It is a great historical event for the Indian Catholic Church. Nutan Dhara is the first regular transmission of a Catholic tele-evangelistic programme in Hindi language", said Father Anil Dev, IMS, the director of the programme.

Nutan Dhara means a new spring. It is the hope of Fr. Anil Dev that the programme which will be telecast from 7 to 7.20 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday will usher in “a new spring of God's blessings through on the Word of God.”

The 20 minute programme contains mainly Christian teachings based on the Word of God which will help people to realize the powerful presence of God in their day to day living. Fr. Anil Dev along with eminent preachers of the Hindi belt will break the Word of God.

The programme will also contain devotional music programmes with visuals, short skits on Biblical messages, Christian action songs etc.

Easter 2008 - A Once In A Lifetime Experience!

NEW DELHI, MAR. 23, 2008 (CBCI News):

Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.

Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts:

1.       The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).

2.       The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (27 7 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

3.      Wish you A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE of the PEACE, JOY and LOVE of the RISEN LORD! HALLELUIA!!!
