AT LEAST 10 Bangladeshis died in New York till Friday (27) as coronavirus cases surge in the US, reports said.

However, the Bangladeshi community in New York suspects that the death toll would be higher than that.

Local Journalist Nihar Siddiqui said a newspaper that so far he received death news of 12 Bangladeshis from coronavirus so far.

Meanwhile, another journalist Hasanuzzaman Saki confirms deaths of 10 Bangladeshis.

New York continues to be an epicenter of the outbreak, reporting almost 40,000 cases and 365 deaths, reports said.

There are around 60,000 Bangladeshis in the US and the New York metropolitan area is home to the largest Bangladeshi population.

About 85 per cent of Bangladeshi New Yorkers were foreign-born, and 77 per  cent of these immigrants came to the US from 1990 to 2000.

Back home, Bangladesh reported 48 coronavirus cases in the country and five deaths so far. The country claims that 15 have recovered.

Agni: The sacred science of fire and its transformative power

Ashwini Guruji

Agni, the first word of the Rig Veda, holds a profound significance. It is, in fact, a wondrous element. While most are familiar with fire for its heat and light, very few understand that fire sustains our body and plays a pivotal role in cleansing it and the surrounding elements. Even fewer appreciate its role as a medium to connect with the Devlok (realm of the divine), and hardly anyone explores its potential to manifest changes within and around them. Dhyan Ashram is one such rare place in today’s world where sadhaks (practitioners) experiment with and experience the extraordinary properties of fire.

In Vedic times, yagyas were a routine practice. They were not mere rituals but a precise science designed to invoke and channel the forces of Creation through the medium of fire. The Vedic Shastras detail nearly 400 types of yagyas, each with a specific purpose.

Coffee could extend healthy lifespan by nearly two years, study finds

DRINKING coffee may extend a person’s healthy lifespan by almost two years, according to a study published in the journal Ageing Research Reviews. The research, which reviewed previously published studies, concluded that moderate coffee consumption could correspond to an average increase in healthspan of 1.8 years.

Researchers from Portugal highlighted coffee’s potential in promoting a healthy lifestyle, especially as the global population continues to age. "We know that the world's population is ageing faster than ever, which is why it's increasingly important to explore dietary interventions which may allow people to not only live longer but also healthier lives," said Rodrigo Cunha from the University of Coimbra, who led the study.
