Deepavali - The Fastival of Lights

2011-10-28T10:08:00.001-07:00

Diwali or Deepavali popularly known as the "festival of lights,"is a festival celebrated between mid-October and mid-November for different reasons. For Hindus, Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. For Jains, Diwali marks the attainment of moksha or nirvana by Mahavira in 527 BC. Deepavali is an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore and Fiji.

The name "Diwali" is a contraction of "Deepavali" which translates into "row of lamps". Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas or dipas) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. These lamps are kept on during the night and one's house is cleaned, both done in order to make the goddess Lakshmi feel welcome. Firecrackers are burst in order to drive away evil spirits. During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends.

The festival starts with Dhanteras on which most Indian business communities begin their financial year. The second day of the festival, Naraka Chaturdasi, marks the vanquishing of the demon Naraka by Lord Krishna and his wife Satyabhama. Amavasya, the third day of Deepawali, marks the worship of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth in her most benevolent mood, fulfilling the wishes of her devotees. Amavasya also tells the story of Lord Vishnu, who in his dwarf incarnation vanquished the Bali, and banished him to Patala. It is on the fourth day of Deepawali, Kartika Shudda Padyami, that Bali went to patala and took the reins of his new kingdom in there. The fifth day is referred to as Yama Dvitiya (also called Bhai Dooj), and on this day sisters invite their brothers to their homes.

Date of Diwali

Diwali falls on the one new moon night between mid-October and mid-November. This year it was on 26th October 2011. Deepavali is celebrated for five days according to the lunisolar Hindu Calendar. It begins in late Ashvin (between September and October) and ends in early Kartika (between October and November). The first day is Dhan Teras. The last day is Yama Dvitiya, which signifies the second day of the light half of Kartika. Each day of Deepavali marks one celebration of the six principal stories associated with the festival.

Lakshmi Puja

Deepavali marks the end of the harvest season in most of India. Farmers give thanks for the bounty of the year gone by, and pray for a good harvest for the year to come. Traditionally this marked the closing of accounts for businesses dependent on the agrarian cycle, and is the last major celebration before winter. Lakshmi symbolizes wealth and prosperity, and her blessings are invoked for a good year ahead.

There are two legends that associate the worship of Lakshmi on this day. According to the first legend, on this day, Lakshmi emerged from Kshira Sagar, the Ocean of Milk, during the great churning of the oceans, Samudra manthan. The second legend (more popular in western India) relates to the Vamana avatar of the big three Vishnu, the incarnation he assumed to kill the demon king Bali. On this day, Vishnu came back to his abode the Vaikuntha; so those who worship Lakshmi receive the benefit of her benevolent mood, and are blessed with mental, physical and material well-being.

Corruption In India - A war against Corruption

2011-10-25T02:51:00.001-07:00

Political, bureaucratic, corporate and individual corruption in India are major concerns. A 2005 study conducted by Transparency International in India found that more than 55% of Indians had first-hand experience of paying bribes or influence peddling to get jobs done in public offices successfully. India tops the list for black money in the entire world with almost in Swiss banks in the form of black money. According to the data provided by the Swiss Banking Association Report (2006), India has more black money than the rest of the world combined. Indian-owned Swiss bank account assets are worth 13 times the country’s national debt.

The recent scams involving unimaginably big amounts of money, such as the 2G spectrum scam, are well known. It is estimated that more than trillion dollars are stashed away in foreign havens, while 80% of Indians earn less than 2$ per day and every second child is malnourished. It seems as if only the honest people are poor in India and want to get rid of their poverty by education, emigration to cities, and immigration, whereas all the corrupt ones are getting rich through scams and crime. It seems as if India is a rich country filled with poor people",the organisers of Dandi March II in the United States said.

As of December 2008, 120 of India's 522 parliament members were facing criminal charges. Many of the biggest scandals since 2010 have involved very high levels of government, including Cabinet Ministers and Chief Ministers, such as in the 2G spectrum scam, the 2010 Commonwealth Games scam and the Adarsh Housing Society scam, mining scandal in Karnataka and cash for vote scam.

In India found that more than 50% of the people had firsthand experience of paying bribe or peddling influence to get a job done in a public office. Taxes and bribes are common between state borders; Transparency International estimates that truckers pay annually US$5 billion in bribes. A 2009 survey of the leading economies of Asia, revealed Indian bureaucracy to be not just least efficient out of Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, China, Philippines and Indonesia,further it was also found that working with India's civil servants was a "slow and painful" process. In Government Hospitals, corruption is associated with non availability of medicines (or duplicate/fake medicines), getting admission, consultations with doctors and availing diagnostic services. There have been cases of diversion of medical supplies from government hospitals and clinics[citation needed] as well as supply and distribution of medicines of inferior quality.

Income tax department

There have been several cases of collusion of officials of the income tax department of India for a favorable tax treatment in return for bribes.

Right to Information

The Right to Information Act (2005) and equivalent acts in the states, that require government officials to furnish information requested by citizens or face punitive action, computerization of services and various central and state government acts that established vigilance commissions have considerably reduced corruption or at least have opened up avenues to redress grievances.

2011 Indian anti-corruption movements
The Lokayukta is an anti-corruption organization in the Indian states.These institutions are based on the Ombudsman in Scandinavian countries. An amendment to the Constitution has been proposed to implement the Lokayukta uniformly across Indian States as a three-member body, headed by a retired Supreme Court judge or high court chief justice, and comprise of the state vigilance commissioner and a jurist or an eminent administrator as other members.

Social welfare worker Anna Hazare has led a movement to compel the Indian Government to notify the Committee for the implementation of the Lokayukta against corruption as an independent body and also giving enough powers to the Lokayukta to also receive corruption complaints against politicians, bureaucrats and even sitting judges. Anna Hazare is currently pursuing an agenda to pass a bill called Jan Lokpal bill, and he has gathered the support of many citizens residing in metropolitan cities of India. He was on an indefinite fast at the Ramlila Grounds, Delhi, in order to campaign for the cause.

Effects of corruption

According to a report by KPMG, "high-level corruption and scams are now threatening to derail the country's credibility and [its] economic boom".

Please Save Trees They are Very Important For Us

2011-10-18T00:27:00.000-07:00

Trees are important, valuable and necessary for the existence of any living creature on earth. They are essential to life as we know it and are the ground troops on an environmental front line. Oxygen production, cleaning the soil, controlling noise pollution, slowing down storm water runoff, acting as carbon sinks, cleaning the air, providing shade and coolness, being windbreaks and fighting soil erosion can be considered as the first.

few reasons why trees are priceless.

Trees clean the air: Trees help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide.

Trees are Effective Sound Barriers : Trees are as effective as stone walls in stopping sound. They muffle urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can mitigate major noises from crowded roads, railway stations and airports.

Trees Produce Oxygen : A mature leafy tree, in a few months, produces as much oxygen as that required by 10 people for one year.

Trees Become dustbins for harmful gases : a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide, and other harmful gases which warm the environment. An urban forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon.

Trees Shade and Cool : Shade from trees reduces the need for fan, coolers and air conditioning in summer. Studies have shown that parts of cities without cooling shade from trees can literally be "heated islands," with temperatures as much as 4-6 degrees Celsius higher than surrounding areas. In winter, trees break the force of winter winds.

Trees Act as Windbreaks: trees break the force of the wind. This protects houses, farmland and vegetation.

Trees Fight Soil Erosion: Trees fight soil erosion, conserve rainwater, and reduce water runoff and sediment deposit after storms

Trees help in lowering the dust levels and pollution levels in the cities.

Trees decrease respiratory problems; Children staying in areas and localities with trees have much less breathing problems that children staying in localities which have no trees.

Planting of trees will help check the adverse impacts of climatic change. Plantations will be covered with greenery from the city and will exclude the problem of groundwater levels also.

So,

Finally I would say only that the trees are the very very important for us and our future . It is equally important for earth and its environment. Cutting trees is so dangerous for our health and it is also responsible for global warming. There are many problems we are facing due to the global warming.

Trees are providing us fresh air with the cost of nothing. Even I will must say that only because of trees we are living at this earth or at this world. We are destroying this world by cutting them. They are very valuable for us.

So please Save the Tree and do plantations of trees as much as you possible. It will give you the happiest moment of your life.

Please Save Water For Our Future

2011-10-14T03:48:00.000-07:00

I am here now to tell to you what is the value of the water. Without Water we cannot imagine this world that could be live or not. Now we are Searching the water at Moon and Mangal Grah and we are happy to see the water and the result of our scientist's search but we are not doing something in our mother land the Earth.

Friends we should have to understand the value of Water at our mother land because we love nature and we does not want that this nature will destroy.

So my dear friends save our life and save our water tank. It will save our future keep world healthy. Water saving habit among us must...Please do not waste water.

As the title suggests, here is my list of the 10 ways to save water:

Use your washing machine only when it is filled to its total capacity. You can save about 4500 litres per month in this process. Besides saving water, this method is also helpful to save electricity.
Avoid using a shower for bathing. Try using a bucket instead. This will help you save about 150-200 litres everyday.
Turn off the tap while brushing and save more than 200 litres of water every month.
Stop participating in Holi. As we all know, a massive quantity of water is wasted during this festival.
Don't drink water if you are not thirsty.
Use sprinklers to water the plants provided you have a large garden.
Ensure that your home has no leakages. Also check whether all water bottles are closed properly.
Use small glasses for drinking water. The smaller the container, the less consumption of water.
Whenever you waste water, just think about those millions of people who still struggle to save every drop of water for their survival.
Lastly, spread awareness regarding water conservation.

The manner in which ground water-table is depleting, the days are not far off when water will become a scarce commodity and it is high time that we start adopting ways to conserve it and techniques to increase the ground water table.

It is not possible for the government or some other agencies to protect the environment and maintain ecological balance without active support and participation of common people in this endeavour. Please called upon the people for taking small steps for water and energy conservation to make this world a better place to live in.

Well, do you have any more ways to save water? Please write down in your comment below.

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.

If you find yourself out of the coverage area of

your mobile; network and there is an emergency,

dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing

network to establish the emergency number for you,

Hi Guise

Rising water level threatens the inner city and its surrounding area. Although the last three years at the government level efforts are being made to reduce groundwater levels, but the affected areas sfeda, Farash, dense planting of indigenous acacia and shisham Meldi water can be pulled by almost 4 per day........

Plantations will be covered with greenery from the city and will exclude the problem of groundwater levels. According to research scientists and Kajre Offre abundant groundwater Ssfede on a tree about 25 liters of water per day is Soakt. Similarly Farash 50 liters, 20 liters of indigenous acacia and shisham draws 15 liters of water.

I mean to say an average 25 liters of water for plant drag. City of 50 thousand of these species should be planted one million trees in the affected areas, so every day around 4 Meldi groundwater can be used. This will put a check on rising ground water and green city - could be filled.

So dear Save our trees and save our earth. Keep your family happy always and please plant a one tree every day. It will give you a special kind of satisfaction.

Kurukshetra Darshan With Techiesandeep

2010-03-09T09:46:00.000-08:00

Hi Dear This is Sandeep Kumar Punia

Today I want to Share my feelings with my readers belongs to my place "Kurukshetra, Haryana"....

History

The name Kurukshetra is associated in the Puranas and the Great Epic with the legendary king Kuru although it appears to be more logical to trace it to the tribe of Kurus which was born as a result of merger of the various classes of the Great Bharatas who are described in the Rigveda as kindling sacrificial fires on the banks of the sacred Sarasvati and Drishadvati......

The Sarasvati is described in the Rigveda as a perennial river par excellence, flowing from the Himalayas to the ocean most probably it refers to the Ghaggar. The Drishadvati was the river in whose bed the Hansi-Hisar branch of the Western Yamuna Canal now flows. The Kurus also were known to the Rigveda as the mention of a King named Kurushravana indicates.

It is Pipli ( Kurukshetra Enter Gate) Situated on national highway. In Pipli all of bus (including Delhi) stop. The Kurukshetra 4 KM so far from Pipli.....

Any auto from Pipli takes Rs 10/- to Kurukshetra.

Here We are on Brahma Sarovar situated in Kurukshetra the Holy City of Haryana and 6 KM so far from Pipli.

Lord Brahma created the universe from the land of Kurukshetra. The Brahma Sarovar here is believed to be cradle of civilization.

Brahma Sarovar is a water tank in Thanesar, Kurukshetr sacred to the Dharmic Religions

Here we are on Bhishma Kund in Kurukshetra.

Bhishma Kund at Naraktari is the place where Arjuna shot an arrow towards earth to quench Bhisma Pitamah thirst.

Here we are on Jyotisar, the imporatant place of Kurukshetra. It has a 5000 year old tree of Bargad.

Jyotisar is a town on the Kurukshetra-Pehowa road, 5 km west of Thanesar in the Kurukshetra district of Haryana. 'Jyoti' means light and 'Sar' means the core meaning. Hence the name of place is a reference to the 'core meaning of light' or ultimately of God. It is one of the most revered holy sites of the holy city of Kurukshetra. A Vat (Banyan tree) stands on a raised plinth. Local traditions say that this tree is an offshoot of the holy Banyan tree under which Lord Krishna delivered the sermon of Bhagavad Gita, the doctrine of Karma and Dharma to his wavering friend Arjuna. It is here that He showed his Virat rupa (Universal form), the terrifying image of Himself as the Destroyer God. A light and music show is organized by the tourism department at the site, on a regular basis, which recreates episodes from Mahabharta.
