A Glimpse of Ancient Indian Astronomy. #part-02

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Tue, 4 Aug 2020 04:06:00 -0700

Do you know which star is the closest to the earth, When I was student my teacher asked the question to me and at that time my answer was sun, and the answer my teacher expected form me was "Proxima Centauri" but i surprised him by saying it is the sun. But yes it is granted.

But the next closest star to the earth was "Proxima Centauri". It is approximately about 4.2 light years from the earth. Do you know what about ancient called the 'Proxima Centauri' is "Mitr" (Meaning- the friend), is that's a coincidence? that they named the closest star as 'Mitr'. It also shows that they know the difference between planets and stars.

Here is the Modern value of speed of light 186,282.397 miles/sec. Now just look after to this 'Shloka'.

One 'Nimisha' is the amount of time need to blink your eyes and 1 'Yojana' is around 8-9 miles. this particular 'Shloka' that you see here is actually the formula to calculate the speed of light and if you check out modern value of speed of light: 186,282.397 miles/sec. and at the same time look you will find that it is remarkably close to the ancient value of the speed of light: 185,096.165 miles/sec.

I could go on and on above astronomy but i want to end with two things, which are not astronomically related but absolutely fascinating about them.

The first is if you look at the pillar standing outside the Qutub Minar in Delhi today. It is made of iron and that iron is rust proof, the terrible pollution of Delhi, the crazy fumes, the moisture all that has done nothing to this pillar. There is no doubt about that it is iron and doesn't rust and till today we don't have the technology to create rust proof iron. It is not the only pillar that is unique or alone, there are many such pillars scattered through out country. Some are in very remote villages. Which meant to ability to create this is not an elitist thing, but normal general people know how to make them.

So, rust proof iron would be the dream and the dream was realized long time ago in the country and we have still not figured out how to make it.

I would like to look after the shloka. It is the one of those many sholka that are in the phrase of lord Krishna but their is a secret here:

Translation: Oh, Krishna the fortune of the Gopis, the destroyer of the demon madhu, the protector of the cattle, the one who ventured the ocean depths, destroyer of the evildoers, one with plough with shoulder and the bearer of nectar may (you) protect (us) !

If you take first letter of the word and replace with them by so on as shown in the table then this particular shloka is exactly the encoded value of pi upto 31 decimal points.

When I first time saw this I really blew my mind. This guys know how to do encoding, these guys knows the value of pi, these guys does it in devotional poet in shloka.

If you wondering how our ancient people knew all this my pet theory is because they meditate. did you know? India is the only civilized nation in which science and spirituality were never at logger head with each other. In fact all are scientist, they knew to go outside and also to go inside.

Why do we visit Temples?

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 11:46:00 -0700

Think India and thought that comes to mind are pictures of majestic temples of the land. These temples were not just immensely beautiful architectural wonders.

They were also places of immense spiritual strength. Scientific analysis has today proven that these temples were built over areas of maximum positive energy. (Emanates Positive Energy). The 'Moolasthana' or 'Garbhagriha' was built at the spot where energy was maximum. The idol was placed and the 'Garbhagriha' built around it. This point indicated the place of maximum positive energy. Placed below the idols were copper plates with vedic inscription capable of absorbing and radiating energy. When a person visited a temple and walked around the 'parikarama' they came within the radius of this magnetic field thereby imbibing a lot of positive energy. The result was that the visit to the temple rejuvenated his body, mind and soul. (Rejuvenates entire human being).

Many time thoughts comes to me that why we need big temples? Here what i found as a answer to my thought is:

Temple is not a place for religious worship, It offers many valuable services to the society. These service can be summarized in the acronym ' T-E-M-P-L-E'.

T- Tranquility, E- Education, M- Medication, P- Purification, L- Love, E- Engagement.

Tranquility: The temple atmosphere with its soothing vibration of holy chants and the scientific presence of deity serves as a tranquil retreat center. It offers essential refreshing breaks that empower people to face the stresses of life.

Education: The temple serves as a centre for higher spiritual education, people can learn principles and practices for leading a life moral and spiritual integrity. This education in foundational values enables people with all their other education for socially beneficial purposes.

Medication: The temple/temples act like a hospital for the mind, we see that many people in the society fall prey to addiction and criminality both of which causes enormous drain in the national economy. Temple provide medication that heels the diseased mentality of such people.

Purification: Leading to empowerment, The temple when regularly visited purifies the heart of people, making it free from lust, greed, anger, envy this purification inspires talented people, with leadership potential to blossom into pure heart, selfless, principles and turn leaders. Then leaders with character are acutely needed in every organisation from the family to the government. Then why not welcomed a institute which produces high quality leaders.

Love: The temple offers glimpse of the kingdom of god, where we all people come together as one family/ God's family. In a vibrant temple people learn to form relationships on the spiritual platforms. This lead to a very loving gods centered profound experience. Which gives deep satisfactions to the heart. and dramatically improves relationship amongst people.

Engagement: The temple provides people a various satisfying engagements, that preserve our Indian culture. It also productively channelizes our talents and energies. When our Indian culture is lost at an alarming rate we should protect and revive it.

We shall not see another APJ ABDUL KALAM

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Sun, 26 Jul 2020 07:40:00 -0700

Mr. PM Nair IAS (Secretary to the President of India) on Late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam : We shall not see another APJ Abdul Kalam like our Late President:

DD Podhigai telecast an interview with Mr. P M Nair retired IAS officer who was the secretary to Dr. Kalam Sir, when he was the President. I summarize the points he spoke in voice choked with emotion, Mr.Nair authored a book titled "Kalam Effect".

Dr. Kalam used to receive costly gifts whenever he went abroad as it is customary for many nations to give gifts to the visiting Head of state. Refusing the gift would become an insult to the nation and an embarrassment for India. So, he received them and on his return, Dr Kalam asked the gifts to b e photographed and then cataloged and handed over to the archives. Afterwards, he never looked at them. He did not take even a pencil from the gifts received when he left Rashtrapathi Bhavan.

In 2002, the year Dr. Kalam took over, the Ramadan month came in July-August. It was regular practice for the President to host an iftar party. Dr. Kalam asked Mr. Nair why he should host a party to people who are already well fed and asked him to find out how much would be the cost. Mr. Nair told it costs around Rs. 22 Lakhs. Dr Kalam asked him to donate that amount to a few selected orphanages in the form of food, dresses and blankets. The selection of orphanages was left to a team in Rashtrapathi Bhavan and Dr. Kalam had no role in it. After the selection was made, Dr Kalam asked Mr nair to come inside his room and gave him a cheque for Rs 1 lakh. He said that he is giving some amount form his personal savings and this should not be informed to anyone. Mr Nair was so shocked that he said "sir, I will go outside and tell everyone. People should know that here is a man who not only donated what he should have spent but he is giving his own money also" Dr. kalam though he was a devout Muslim did not have Iftar parties in the years in which he was the President.

Dr. Kalam did not like "Yes Sir" type of people. Once when the Chief Justice of India had come and on some point Dr. Kalam expressed his view and asked Mr. Nair, "Do you agree?" Mr Nair said "No sir, i do not agree with you".

The Chief Justice was shocked and could not believe his ears. It was impossible for a civil servant to disagree with the president and that too so openly. Mr Nair told him that the President would question him afterwards why he disagreed and if the reason was logical 99% he would change his mind.

Dr. Kalam invited 50 of his relatives to come to Delhi and they all stayed in Rastrapathi Bhavan. He organised a bus for them to go around the city which was paid for by him. No official car was used. All their stay and food was calculated as per the instructions of Dr. Kalam and the bill came to Rs 2 lakhs which he paid. In the history of this country no one has done it.

Now, wait for the climax, Dr. Kalam's elder brother stayed with him in his room fo the entire one week as Dr. Kalam wanted his brother to stay with him. When they left, Dr. Kalam wanted to pay rent for that room also. Imagine a President of country paying rent for the room in which he is staying. This was any way not agreed by the staff who thought the honesty was getting too much to handle.

When Kalam sir was to leave Rashtrapathi Bhavan at the end of the tenure, every staff member went and met him and paid their respects. Mr. Nair went to him alone as his wife had fractured her leg and was bed ridden. Dr. Kalam asked why his wife did not come. He replied that she was in bed due to an accident. Next day, Mr. Nair saw lot of police men around his house and asked what had happened. They said that the President of India was coming to visit him in his house. He came and met his wife and chatted for sometime. Mr. Nair says that no President of any country would visit a civil servant's house and that too on such a simple pretext.

I thought I should give the details as many of you may not have seen the telecast and so it may be useful.

the younger brother of APJ Abdul Kalam runs an Umbrella repairing shop. When Mr.Nair met him during Kalam Funeral, he touched his feet, in token of respect for Mr. Nair and Brother.

Such information should be widely shared on social media as main stream medial will most show this because it doesn't carry the so called TRP values.

A Glimpse of Ancient Indian Astronomy #Part-01

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Fri, 24 Jul 2020 21:26:00 -0700

when astronomy seems to be the science going outside, Meditation is the science going inside, there is quite an adventure waiting for us inside as well.

I used to often wondered what the ancient people could have thought when they saw so many stars in the sky, when they saw the planet and moon. They must have made some amazing stories and their imagination could have taken them on many flights of fancy.

I was amazed that how mistaken i was about what i thought ancient Indian to know about astronomy. I will be discussing a few things about ancient Indian what they knew about astronomy that will take peak of your interest to know more.

1. For a very long time everybody assumes that the earth is flat. The concept that our planet is round is first mentioned around 5th Century BC by the Greek astronomers and scientists, If you check out the Sanskrit word for the earth it is Bhugol (Bhu-means bhumi the earth) (Gol-means round). Sanskrit is a language which people dead to be about 7-10 thousand year old, may be even older stretches back to the antiquity and the word that we had for earth which was known to every little child in this country was 'bhugol'. It is the widely known fact that the earth was round, by the very nomenclature.

The other word for the earth is Jagat (jiski gati hai) that which moves, that the earth is never considered as stationary, we always knew that the earth is moving.

The Sanskrit term to describe the solar system is suryamalika (Surya meaning- The Sun) (malika meaning- garland). We knew way back that the sun was in the center and the planets were moving like a garland around the sun. Even if we look after the 'Navgraha' statue in all ancient temples of India you will see the sun or surya will kept in the middle. We already have the heliocentric view of our solar system.

On a full moon night if you ever gazed at the serene beauty of the moon, the one thing that you would conclude it is white or The moon is White but as far as the 'atharva veda' their is a shloka its says 'Chandra Madhi Krishnam' "चन्द्र मधि कृष्ण"(Chandra-Moon) Madhi (Soil) Krishnam (Black). They said that the soil of the moon is black. And this was verified only when we landed on the moon, we got the sample from the moon, and we realized oh yes it is black or the soil of the moon is black. It is not the co-incidence. This in an insight or you can say deep thought.

Lets turn around the Scorpius constellation, In Scorpius there is a star called 'Antares', It is considered to be the 10th to 15th brightest object in the sky, if you think about it, ancient Indian definitely knew a lot of science. If something is not so bright it would not be much of us stretch our imagination to conclude that it is much smaller than the more brighter objects in the sky. So now Antares is 10th to 15th brightest object in the sky. Yet it has been named 'Jeshta' by our ancients. 'Jeshta' means the oldest and the biggest one. Indeed Antares is one of the biggest objects in the sky of what we know. It is 12 times than the size of the sun and if Antares is put in our solar systems its size would be some what in between the orbit of mars and Jupiter. It is really big.

How would our ancient people concluded that it is so big? It is some thing which only we can wondered about.

Why do temples have bells?

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 00:43:00 -0700

'Aagamartanthu devaanaam gamanartanthu raakshasam kurve gantarvam thatra devadahwana lakshanam'...

Translation: 'I start my worship ringing the bell praying that the divine may enter me and all demonic forces within and without depart'.

Traditional Indian worship always started with the ringing of the bell. The temple bell was beautifully crafted object made of an amalgam (combination of sound of several metals including Zinc, copper, bronze, cadmium and many other alloys).

The quantity of each metals was based on very accurate scientific calculation. When the bell was rung there was a resonation which created an immediate harmony between the right and left lobes of the brain.

The echo lasted for 7 seconds touching the seven chakras of the body. (i.e. 7 energy points). The sound of the bell created an instant calm increasing the powers of concentration helping you to focus on the higher. Also the vibes from the bells gives peace to the human soul and also is a mode of mindfulness.

A well-designed temple bell could also produce the sound OM.

Significance of Namaste

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 00:09:00 -0700

Namaste: The traditional Indian Greetings : Joining both palms together to greet.

A Gesture which marks respect reverence and love for the person we greet. Have you ever wondered, why do we greet people in this way?

In yoga this gesture is called Anjali Mudra. It is a well known fact that the tips of the fingers are major energy points.When we bring together the palms of our finger linking tips of our finger, then the nerve circuits of the brain are linked to those of the upper body.

A feeling of calmness and well being immediately descends. Also in yoga each finger is representative of a certain energy.

The little finger represents Tamas or dullness.

The ring finger represents Rajas or activity.

The middle finger represents Satwa or refinement.

The index finger is the individual soul or jeevatma and the Thumb is the paramaathma or the ultimate soul.

Namaste; Also mean, I honor the place in you in which the entire universe resides.I honor the place in you which is of light, of truth, of love and of peace. When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, we are one.

These are the reasons behind 'Namaste'- The traditional Indian greeting.

Why do Married Indian Women Wear Toe Ring?

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 02:46:00 -0700

Have you ever wondered, why most of the married Indian women use to wear toe ring...? Apart from the tradition, their is much to know.

Traditionally Indian women wore toe rings. Toe rings is the term used differently in different languages. It is called 'Bichiya' in Hindi, 'Minji' in Malayalam, 'Jodavi' in Marathi, 'Mettlelu' in Telugu, 'Angot' in Begali.

Husband puts the toe rings in wife's second toe of both feet, during the wedding ceremony. Toe rings were not just to indicate the maritial status of the women. there was a scientific reasons behind wearing toe rings. Toe rings were made of silver and worn on the second toe. It is a well known fact that there is a nerve which starts from this toe, goes to the uterus and then to the heart, By wearing toe rings good circulation was ensured thereby strengthening the uterus.

The menstrual cycles was also regulated ensuring speedy conception, Also silver is known to be a good conductor. Silver absorbs the energy or polar energies from the earth and passes it on the body thereby rejuvenating the entire system.

your 'prana' (soul) must be in balance in order for you to stay healthy. All of the paths of your 'prana' run down to your toes, so the idea that a marital symbol could double up as a health enhancer in not a big stretch.

Silver also works as a magnet which detaches all the negative energies from your body and by earthing, it soothes the flow of positive energy in your body.

These are the scientific reasons behind wearing the toe ring.

Meaning of Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra & Dhyana Sholka

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Sun, 19 Jul 2020 22:49:00 -0700

In this, you look at the origin of maha mrutyunjaya mantra and the sloka that describes shiva's form as lord mrutyunjaya.

You will also look at the benefits of chanting this mantra, along with how to chant it properly, and off course it's meaning.

Maha Mrutyunjaya Mantra presents itself in the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda and the Atharvana Veda. Mrutyuh in Sanskrit, meaning death, and jaya is victory. Chanting this matra provides you the seeker with health, vibrance, strength, and ultimately Victory over the very cycles of birth and death.

tryambakam yajAmahE Sugandhim pushti-vardham |

UruvAruKamiva bandhanAnmruty OrmukshIya mAmrutAt.

The mantra works best, if we attach a form to it, and meditate on that form. This process is called dhyAnam. Let's now learn the shloka that describes the form of shiva as lord mrutyunjaya. This is the form that we need to meditate upon, while we chant the mrutyunjaya mantra.

hastAmbhOja yugasthA KumbhayugalAduddhrutya toyam shirah |

(Lotus hands) (two Pairs) (with two pots) (water) (head)

Sinchantam KarayOryugEna dadhatamsvAnke sakumbhau karau |

(pouring) (with two hands) (holding)(In lap) (Two pots in Hands)

aksha srag mruga hastamambujagatam murdhastha chandram sravat |

(Rudraksha Mala) (Mrgu Mudra) (Lotus like) (moon on the head)

pIyOshOtra tanum bhojE sagirijam mrutyunjayam tryambakam |

(Pouring) (Nectar) (Body) (I Pray) (with Girija) (victor of Death) (Three Eyed Shiva)

The gist of the sholka is, I meditate upon that form of shiva, who has his wife by his side, who is known by name mrutyunjaya, who has three eyes. He is purifying himself with water flowing down onto his head or shirah, from two pairs of hands holding two pots, with two more hands he is holding two more pots in his lap. In his other two hands, he is holding a rudraksha mala, and holding mrugi mudra, which is representative of purification. On the top of his head, is the moon, from which pIyusha, or nectar is flowing down. With this form of shiva in mind, let's how look at how to chant the maha mrutyunjaya mantra properly:

Om tryambakam yajAmahe sugandhim pushti Vardhanam |

urvArukamiva bandhanAn mrutuormukshIya mAmrutaat.

Some people called it bandhanAt. That happens when the word are being split apart, and being uttered separately. While chanting it's best to use bandhanAnmrutyOrmukshIya. this mantra, is composed to two lines. In the first line, we invoke shiva to understand this line better in common english, we can look at the words in this order.

yajAmahE Sugandhim, pushtiVardhanam, tryambakam. (Which means I invoke the fragrant, strength, enhancing, three eyed form of shiva). After having invoked him, we now address him directly.

mukshIya mAamrutAt, mrtyohbandhanAt, urvArukamiva (free me not from immortality, but from death's grip, lika rive cucumber).

I have never seen it myself, but they say a ripe cucumber detaches itself from the plant, with utmost grace and effortlessness. So through this shloka, we are beseeching a fragrant potency enhancing lord mrutyunjaya to free us effortlessly from death's grip and provide us immortality.

I hope you enjoyed learning Maha Mrutyunjaya Mantra...

4th and 5th states of matter

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Sat, 18 Jul 2020 11:15:00 -0700

Do you know now scientists are talking of five states of matter: Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma and Bose-Einstein Condensate.

Plasma: The state consists of super energetic and super excited particles. These particles are in the form of ionized gases. The fluorescent tube and neon sign bulbs consist of plasma.

Inside a neon sign bulb there is neon gas and inside a fluorescent tube there is helium gas or some other gas. The gas gets ionized, that is, gets charged when electrical energy flows through it. This charging up creates a plasma glowing inside the tube or bulb. The plasma glows with a special color depending on the nature of gas. The Sun and the stars glow because of the presence of plasma in them. The plasma is created in stars because of very high temperature.

Bose-Einstein Condensate: In 1920, Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose had done some calculations for the fifth state of matter. Building on his calculations, Albert Einstein predicted a new state of matter- the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). In 2001. Eric A. Cornell, Wolfgang Ketterle and Carl E. Wieman of USA received the Nobel prize in physics for achieving "Bose-Einstein Condensation". The BEC is formed by cooling a gas of extremely low density, about one-hundred-thousandth the density of normal air, to super low temperatures. You can log on to www.chem4kids.com to get more information on these fourth and fifth states of matter.

Secrets Out: Your Facebook 'Likes' May Reveal Personality

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 04:56:00 -0700

Did you know that each time you "like" a picture on Facebook, you give away vital information about your personality?

According to Cambridge University's Psychometric Centre, intimate personal attributes can be predicted with high levels of accuracy from 'traces' left by seemingly innocuous digital behavior in this case, "Facebook likes".

Surprisingly, accurate estimates of Facebook users' race, age, IQ, sexuality, personality, substance use and political views can be inferred from automated analysis of only their Facebook likes information currently publicly available by default.

Researchers analysed 58,000 US Facebook users, who volunteered their 'likes',demographic profiles and psychometric testing results through the My Personality application. Models proved 88% accurate for determining male sexuality, 95% accurate for distinguishing ethnicity and 85% for differentiating political inclination.

Cyber Pornography

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 04:19:00 -0700

Cyber pornography refers to stimulating sexual or other erotic activity over the internet. The most serious law penalizing cyber pornography is the IT Act (Section 67). Depending upon content, Sections 67A and 67B (child pornography) may also apply. 66E deals with punishment for violation of privacy.

This section covers video voyeurism. Acts like hiding cameras in changing rooms, hotel rooms etc. is punishable with jail up to three years. Other laws that deal with pornography include the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act and the Indian Penal code.

According to Section 67 of the IT Act, "Whoever publishes or transmits or causes to be published in the electronic from any material which is lascivious or appeals to the prurient interest or if its effect is such as to tend to deprave and corrupt persons who are likely to read, see or heat the matter contained as embodied in it, shall be punished on first conviction with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to rupees 5 lakh and in the event of a second or subsequent conviction with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years and also with fine which may extend to rupees 10 lakh".

This section will cover websites, graphic files such as GIF and JPEG images, text messages (email, SMS, chat room), audio/sound messages (net-telephony, music downloads), digital photo formats), pseudo photographs (morphed images), etc. It is worth mentioning here that viewing of pornography is not an offence under the Act.

In the context of cyber cafes, if a customer transmits any obscene material on the terminal assigned to him and this fact is know to the owner, it would constitute an offence and the cybercafe owner would be liable u/s 292 IPC r/w Section 67 of IT Act.

Indian Railways

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 04:03:00 -0700

Do you noticed why it is easy to sleep in train not in bus or a car??

The answer is here because each coaches are designed with the resonance frequency of suspension of 1.2 Hz (72 bpm), this is the same frequency the human heart pumps. So that it makes us to feel more comfortable and let us to sleep and relax.

Have you ever wondered why Indian Trains are colored with blue??

Before 1990, all trains has vacuum braking system. After 1990, an advanced braking system was introduced that was air braking system. After invention it was differentiate between vacuum and advance braking system. so the train with vacuum system were colored with red

and train having air braking system were colored with blue. This was not stopped here, Rajdhani, Shatabdi and other trains are special that's why they are colored with difficult colors, Even vacuum braking system is no longer available today.

#Hacking

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 07:21:00 -0700

Hacking:

According to Wiktionary, hacking means unauthorized attempts to bypass the security mechanisms of an information system or network. It is computer trespass- the accessing of computer system without the express or implied permission of its owner. The intentions of hackers may vary - from fraud to mere pleasure. Based on the objective, hacking can be classified into financial, recreational, intelligence, military and terrorist hacking. Hacking is not defined in the amended IT Act.

The concerned sections are Sec 43 (a) and Section 66 of the Act read with relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. The punishment prescribed for dishonest or fraudulent prescribed access is imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years or fine which may extend to five lakh rupees or both. the wrong-does is also liable to pay damages to the affected person.

Causes of cyber crime:

1. Lack of awareness among victims and accused
2. Lack of information security
3. Lack of legal awareness and easy availability of hacking tools. In fact,

a) global connectivity

b) tremendous growth of e-commerce (online shopping, net banking, ATM, etc)

c) easy concealment and numerous vulnerable targets and

d) low equipment cost are some of the factors that have contributed to an exponential increase in cyber crimes.

Cyber Crimes and Cyber Law

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 00:36:00 -0700

Cyber crime encompasses both cyber contraventions and cyber offences. The difference between the two is the degree and extent of criminal activity.

The word 'cyber' was first coined by William Gipson in his novel 'Neuromancer' in the year 1984. The term 'cyber crime' has, however, not been defined in Indian law. It does not find even a mention in the Indian Penal code. But the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines cyber crimes as crimes involving, using or relating to computers, especially the internet.

To put in simple terms, cyber crime is an unlawful act where computer is either a tool or target or both. The IT Act 2000 as amended by the IT (Amendment) Act, 2008 is the foundation of cyber law in India. It provides for civil remedies for cyber torts and penal liability for cyber crimes. Cyber crime encompasses both cyber contraventions and cyber offences. The difference between the two is the degree and extent of criminal activity. The Act applies also to offences or contraventions committed outside India by any person irrespective of his nationality, provided it is committed against a computer, computer system or computer network located in India. (section 75). For instance, if a person located in London sends an indecent e-mail to a person in Chennai on his e-mail address, then the person who sent the e-mail is liable under the relevant sections of the IT Act as his action has affected a computer system located in India.

#Solar Flight

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Thu, 9 Jul 2020 02:37:00 -0700

Epic Transcontinental Solar Flight:

The first ever manned aircraft that can fly day and night powered only by solar energy set a new distance record. When it safely landed after the across-America mission. It landed successfully at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport in the early hours of July 7th morning.

The place had taken off from Washington Dulles on 6th July, flying for 18 hours 23 minutes to complete the final leg of its 5650 km journey. In total the trip took 105 hours and 41 minutes with solar impulse travelling at an average speed of 53.3 km/hour. Andre Borschberg is one of two swiss pioneers who alternately piloted the plane since it departed from San Francisco on 3 may, 2013. He and his fellow co-founder of solar impulse Bertrand piccard flew first to phoenix, Arizona, before heading to Dallas and St. Louis and Washington D.C, before completing this final leg.

It has a slim body, four electric engines attached to enormous wings-flies quietly. Energy provided by 12000 solar cells power the plane's propellers. The cells power the plane's propeller. the plane can fly at night by reaching a high elevation of 8230 metres and then gently glides downwards using almost no power until the sun comes up to begin recharging the solar cells.

Solar impulse's first flight took place in December 2009. After six year of preparation, the plane flew 350 metres and landed smoothly after being airborne for just 28 seconds in June 2012, it made its first transcontinental flight form Madrid to Rabat in Morocco, completing the 830 km journey in just over 19 hours.

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Wed, 8 Jul 2020 03:30:00 -0700

The US army has developed a realistic robot bird that has been tricked real flocks and hawks to attack it midair, making it a potential unsuspecting future war agent. Robo-Raven was developed in university of Maryland researchers including Gerdes, S K Gupta, an Indian-origin scientist.

It glides soars and flaps like a real bird and attracts birds' attention. Its complete individual wing control allows for extreme aerobatics that no other mechanical bird has ever been able to perform, researchers from the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) claim. However, Its ability to hide in plain sight and light weight is what excites researchers most.

It can fly up-to 16 kmph - one day, could be used for surveillance.

Have an Attitude of Gratitude

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 04:44:00 -0700

Nearby, a building construction work was going on.Lots of poor laborers were working there and their small children used to hold on to one another's shirt and play "train-train".

Someone would become the engine and others would become bogies "Compartments".

Every day these children used to take turns becoming the engine and bogies.

But, there was one small boy wearing only a half pant who used to hold one small green

cloth in his hand and become the guard daily.

So, once I went to him and asked him.."Son, don't u also wish to become an engine or a bogie some time?"

He softly replied, "Sir, I don't have a shirt to wear so how will the other children catch me to make the train?

I could see the slight wetness in his eyes.

But, it gave me a lesson...He could have cried and sat at home and abused his parents for not affording to buy him a shirt. But instead, he choose another way to play and enjoy himself.

In life, we don't get all things we desire and we keep complaining. Life is like that. We need to make it beautiful and be grateful for what we have.

someone else is happy with less than what we have...!!!

The Story of the Bhagwad Gita

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 09:21:00 -0700

The story of the Gita is the story of Indian civilization itself. We know the Gita as Krishna's counsel to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurushetra. But was it Krishna who created it? or was it poet Ved Vyasa who was speaking the truth of the universe through Krishna? Does Sanjaya, who told blind king Dhritarashtra all that he saw happening in a far away battlefield, deserve any less credit?

What about all the poets and philosophers who sang, recited, wrote down, or translated the Gita for people like us? This is their story- the story of the Gita right before the final confrontation between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, Krishna, who is the universe personified, rescues Arjuna from paralyzing doubt by giving him the essence of Vedic thought- The Bhagwad Gita. Vyasa told the story of the Mahabharata to his disciple Vaisampayana, who told it to Romaharshana, who told it to Sauti,who told it to Shaunaka in the Naimisha forest. Four thousand years ago, the rishis of Aryavarta composed the Rig Veda. In it, they praised the sun, the moon, and the planets, They paid homage to the forces that hold the universe together.

In the centuries that followed, the Yajurveda spoke of rituals with which mortals might call upon the gods and praise them. After that, the Upanishads shifted the focus from the celestial to the human. Brahman, that which unites all beings, the song that vibrates and flows through all that exists, is shown to be a universal mind. Over centuries, after much debate and disagreement between monks, the Vedanta came to the people at last. The Puranas, and the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata were written down in Brahmi script for the first time ever. When religions of the book arrived in the sub-continent for the first time, Vedic ideas began to be retold in regional languages and scripts.

Through songs and stories, Vedic ideas reached the masses. The Gita had found a new home- the Indian mind. When the Europeans made their first attempts to understand Indian culture, the many customs and beliefs of the Hindus made little sense to them. So they decided that Hindus must have one book that is the source of all their beliefs. What the European scholars did not understand was that Vedic ideas could exist without being "holy books". They did not understand the importance of songs, stories, and rituals that traveled the land, spreading the essence of Vedic thought. Also, the Bhagwad Gita is not the only Gita.

The Puranas speak of the Guru Gita, Ganesh Gita, Avadhuta Gita, Ram Gita, Uddhav Gita Vyadha Gita, and the Anu gita. Around the time when the Roman empire was rising in the Mediterranean, the Mahabharata was being written down in India. In a few centuries, it went from being a short tale called JAYA to being a mighty epic of one-hundred-thousand verses. And at its heart, there was the Bhagwad Gita- a book that has been called god's gift to Arjuna. Philosopher Adi Shankara saw in gita the oneness of divinity and humanity. Ramanuja and Madhava found in the Gita the difference between the human and the divine.

In the twentieth century, Mohandas Gandhi, Lokamanya Tilak, and Bhimrao Ambedkar all found different meanings in the Gita. Across the Seas, Huxley, Oppenheimer, and even Hitler, found their hearts reflected in the Gita. There are as many avatars of the Gita as there are minds that it has touched. While it has lived for long and meant many things to many people, the Gita's message remains as simple as it was when the rishis first contemplated the Vedas.Our world is one of infinite variety and change. Life does not Las. Neither does death.

We see the world as we are. We create meaning by giving shape to emptiness and by creating boundaries to contain the infinite. We create friends and enemies. We create right and wrong. We create our own truth and we let it define us. There are three paths that can help us find our way in the world

Karma yoga-The path of action and acceptance;
Bhakti Yoga- The path of devotion and surrender;

Gyana Yoga- the path of knowledge and understanding.

When we understand the other person, we understand the universe. That is, and has always been,the way the world works.

Desire: the Starting Point of All Achievement

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 21:28:00 -0700

The First Step to Riches:

A long while ago, a great warrior had to make a decision which ensured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy's country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, 'You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice-we win or we perish! 'They won.

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as burning desire to win, essential to success.

Every human being who understands the purpose of money wishes for it. Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.

The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent consists of six definite, practical steps:

1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say,' I want plenty of money.'Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent posts.)

2. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as 'something for nothing'.)

3. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

4. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

5. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire. Name the time limit for its acquisition. State what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

6. Read you written statement aloud, twice daily. Once just before retiring at night, and once after rising in the morning. AS YOU READ, SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.

It is important that you follow the instructions describe in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe and follow the instruction in the sixth paragraph.

Have a nice day...

Three Feet from Gold...

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 23:49:00 -0700

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another.

R. U. Darby, who later became one of the most successful insurance salesmen in the country, tells the story of his uncle, who was caught by the 'gold fever' in the gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. He had never heard the saying that more gold has been mined from the brains of men than has ever been taken form the earth. He staked a claim and went to work with pick and shovel. The going was hard, but his lust for gold was definite.

After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore. He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. Quietly, he covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Williamsburg, Maryland, and told his relatives and a few neighbors of the 'strike'. They got together money for the needed machinery and had it shipped. The uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.

The first car of ore was mined and shipped to a smelter. The returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big killing in profits.

Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Darby and Uncle! Then something happened- the vein gold ore disappeared. They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there. They drilled on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again, all to no avail.

Finally, they decided to quit. They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. Some 'junk' men are dumb, but not this one! He called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer advised that the project had failed because the owners were not Familiar with 'Fault lines'. His calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darby's had stopped drilling. That is exactly where it was found.

The junk man took millions of dollars in ore form the mine because he knew enough to seek expert counsel before giving up. Most of the money which went into machinery was procured through the efforts of R.U. Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives and neighbors, because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was years in doing so.

Long afterwards, Mr Darby recouped his loss many times over when he made the discovery that desire can be transmuted into gold. The discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance.

Remembering that he lost a huge fortune because he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work. His simple method was to say to himself, 'I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say "no" when I ask them to buy insurance.' He owes his 'stick-ability' to the lesson he learned from his 'quit ability' in the gold mining business.

Before success comes to most people, they are sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and perhaps some failure. When faced with defeat the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. that is exactly what the majority of people do.

More than 500 of the most successful people America has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one up when success is almost within reach.

The World is Mine...

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 23:49:00 -0700

It has been circulated and gone round the globe many times and it's good to reflect on how fortunate and blessed we are....

Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman and wished I were as beautiful. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and used a crutch. But as she passed, she passed a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have two legs; the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm. I talked with him, he seemed so glad. If I were late, It would do no harm. And as I left, he said to me, " I thank you, you've been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see,"he said, "I'm blind."

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have two eyes; the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street, I saw a child I knew. He stood and watched the others play, but he did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, Why don't you join them dear?"

He looked ahead without a word. I forgot, he couldn't hear. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have two ears; the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I would go, with eyes to see the sunset's glow, with ears to hear what I would know, Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

If this poem makes you feel thankful, just forward it to yours friends. After all, it's just a simple reminder that we have so much to be thankful for! Give the gift of love. It never comes back empty!

Be strong enough to let go and patient enough to wait for what you deserve....

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 05:16:00 -0700

Once a man angrily went to god and started complaining about life he have; He listed numbers of questions to god and asked for the answers to it:

Surprisingly; God appears in front of him and gave the solutions to his questions/problems which is applicable to all human being who have a life.

Man: I can't find free time life has become hectic?

God: Activity gets you busy. but productivity gets you free.

Man: Why has life become so complicated?

God: Stop analyzing life...It makes it complicated. Just live it.

Man: Why are we then constantly unhappy?

God: Worrying has become your habit. that is why you are not happy.

Man: Why do good people always suffer?

God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials. With that experience, their life become better, not bitter.

Man:You mean to say such experience is useful?

God: Yes, in every term. Experience is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lesson later.

Man: Because of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading ?

God: If you look outside, you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides the way.

Man: Why does failure hurt us so much?

God: Success is a measure decided by others. Satisfactions is a measure decided by you.

Man: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count on your blessings, not on what you are missing.

Man: What surprises you about people?

God: When they suffer, they ask, "Why me?". When they prosper, they never ask, " Why me"?

Man: How can i get the best out of my life?

God: Face your past without regret. Handle your presence with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Man: One last question. Sometimes, I feel that my prayers are not answered.

God: There are no unanswered prayers. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve.

Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Silence Mind Reflects the Good...!!!

tarkes.kool@gmail.com (Tarakeswar) — Sat, 30 Nov 2019 02:26:00 -0800

An artist once came to a King, who was a great admirer of art and said, "Oh King! if you give me a blank wall in your palace. I can create a spectacular painting on it."Just then, another young man who was present their said to the King,

"Your Majesty! Please allow me to work on the opposite wall as well.

I am an artist too." The King asked to the young man?

"And what would you like to make?"

The man said " I shall make an exact replica of the painting that the other artist makes on the wall opposite to mine. And I shall do so, without even looking at his work. I would request you to place a thick curtain between the two walls so that neither of us can see the other's work, and also have guards to make sure that there is no cheating.

"Everyone in the court, including the King, was intrigued and the king decided to give both artists the opportunity to show their talent. The following day a thick curtain was put in place and both the artists started their work.

The first artist brought paints and oils and brushes that he worked with. The second one worked simply with a cloth and a bucket of water after month the first artist told the king that his work was complete and when The King asked the second artist when would his work be done, the young men replied that he was done too.

The King came to the palace and went on to see the first artist's wall. He was stunned by the spectacular painting and gave the artist a hefty sum as a reward. He then asked for the curtain to be opened up to see if the second artist had met up with the challenge of creating the exact same painting without seeing it. The curtain opened and lo and behold! on the opposite wall was an exact replica of the painting. Every single line, Every single color, Every minor detail was exactly as it was on the first wall.

The King rewarded the man with double the amount of money but being amused wanted to know his secret The young artist replied, "It was very simple, Your Majesty! I just polished the marble wall everyday until it shone like a mirror to reflect the painting on the opposite wall.

Often people complain they lack confidence, that they don't think they have any talent, that they lack motivation. All are these part of you. The hard work is cleaning the wall of your mind in a way that what's hidden deep within you. your talent, your positivity, your confidence your goodness, is reflected in your mind . And thus in your actions and then you can indeed achieve something spectacular. Don't they say that the soul knows how to heal itself.

The challenge is to silence the mind and one of the way to silence the mind's negative chatter is to neglect it. sometime a little child who gets just a little hurt starts crying aloud. If the mother pays attention the child cries louder. but if she ignores it knowing well that there's nothing serious, the child's crying slowly dies down. Exactly in the same way if we pay attention to the negative chatter of the mind it gets louder. but if we try to ignore it then slowly it dies down and how does one ignore the chatter? by absorbing the mind positive energy. Reading hearing or watching positive stuffs, hanging out with positive people and then as the mind becomes slowly cleansed, the beautiful painting within you will reflect on it.

Silence mind reflects the good...!!
