India, the land of rich cultural heritage, has one or the other festival for every month. It is the spiritual and religious richness in India that each festival is related to some or other deity. One of such festival is the 'festival of lights' - Deepawali. It is the glorious occasion that is not restricted to one day, but extended to a five-day celebration. All through these five days, people are in a festive mood. Adding to the festivity is the colorful display of lights. Like every other Hindu festival, stories from Mythology are associated with Diwali too. Given below is information on the celebrations of Diwali.<br />
<br />
<strong>Stories & Legends of Deepavali</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Return of Shri Ram To Ayodhyaa </strong><br />
The most famous legend behind the celebrations of Diwali is about the prince of Ayodhya Nagri - Lord Shri Ram. The king of Lanka, Ravana, kidnapped Ram's wife - Sita from the jungle, where they were staying as per the instructions of King Dashratha, father of Lord Ram. In order to freed Sita from Ravana's custody, Ram attacked him. This was followed by a war, in which, Ram defeated Ravan and released Sita from his custody. On the arrival of Lord Ram along with his wife Sita, people of Ayodhya decorated their homes as well as the city of Ayodhyaa by lighting tiny diyas all over, in order to welcome their beloved prince Shri Ram and Devi Sita.<br />
<br />
<strong>Incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi </strong><br />
On the auspicious new moon day, which is 'Amavasyaa' of the Hindi month of Kartik, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity - Lakshmi was incarnated. She appeared during the churning of the ocean, which is known as 'Samudra Manthan', by the demons on one side and 'Devataas' (Gods) on the other side. Therefore, the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the Lakshmi Pujan, on the day of Diwali, became a tradition.<br />
<br />
<strong>Lord Krishna Destroyed Demon Narakasur </strong><br />
One famous story behind the celebrations of Diwali is about the demon king Narakasur, who was ruler of Pragjyotishpur, a province to the South of Nepal. After acquiring victory over Lord Indra during a war, Narakasur snatched away the magnificent earrings of Mother Goddess Aditi, who was not only the ruler of Suraloka, but also a relative of Lord Krishna's wife - Satyabhama. Narakasur also imprisoned sixteen thousand daughters of Gods and saints in his harem. With the support of Lord Krishna, Satyabhama defeated Narakasur, released all the women from his harem and restored the magnificent earrings of Mother Goddess Aditi.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Return of The Pandavas </strong><br />
The great Hindu epic 'Mahabharata' has another interesting story related to the 'Kartik Amavasyaa'. According to the story, 'the Pandavas', the five brothers Yudhishthhira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahdeva, were sentenced to thirteen years exile as a result of their defeat against 'the Kauravas' - Duryodhana and his ninety nine brothers, at the game of dice. Therefore, the Pandavas spent thirteen years in the jungles and returned to their kingdom on the day of 'Kartik Amavasyaa'. On their return, the people of their kingdom welcomed the Pandavas by celebrating the event by lighting the earthen lamps all over in their city.<br />
<br />
<strong>Coronation of King Vikramaditya </strong><br />
Another legend or story about Diwali celebrations relates to one of the greatest Hindu King - Vikramaditya. It was the day when he was coroneted and the people celebrated this event by lighting tiny earthen 'diyas'.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
उक्त कविता किसी भी व्यक्ति की अंदरूनी खूबसूरती को खुल कर निखारती है। आजकल सुन्दरता के उत्पाद भी बाज़ार में 'अंदरूनी खूबसूरती' जैसे शब्दों में लपेटकर पेश किये जाने लगे है। पर, इसका अर्थ यह नहीं कि बाहरी सुन्दरता की तरफ ध्यान ही न दिया जाये। इस बाहरी सुन्दरता के लिए तरह-तरह के उत्पाद बाज़ार में उपलब्ध हैं लेकिन अन्दर व बाहर दोनों तरफ की खूबसूरती के कुछ और भी रहस्य हैं। आइये जानें:</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">1. नींद</span>- हर चौबीस घंटों में आठ घंटे की नींद का बंदोबस्त अवश्य करें। इससे शरीर की थकान, जो चेहरे पर साफ़ झलकती है, दूर होगी तथा अन्दर से कटी-फटी कोशिकाओं का भी नवनिर्माण होगा। आप अपनेआप को तरोताजा पायेंगें।ऐसा अहसास आपको जवां बनाये रखेगा।</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">2. विश्राम</span>- शांत मन व दिमाग के लिए, शरीर की ऐंठन खोलने के लिए, तनाव कम करने के लिए तथा खुलकर सांस लेने के लिए विश्राम अति आवश्यक है। योग, ध्यान आदि की मुद्राएँ आपको अन्दर व बाहर दोनों तरफ से विश्राम देंगीं।</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">3. जलाहार</span>- शुद्ध जल न केवल हमारी प्यास बुझाता है बल्कि हमारे शरीर के अन्दर बन रहे विषैले द्रव्यों को पतला करके मूत्र के रूप में बाहर निकाल देता है। इसीलिए एक दिन में 8-10 गिलास पानी अवश्य पियें। अगर गर्मी या धुप में निकलना पड़े तो यह मात्रा बढ़ा दें ताकि शरीर में पर्याप्त नमी बनी रहे।</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">4. ठोस आहार</span>- कम मात्रा में खाएं लेकिन संतुलित भोजन शरीर की सभी आवश्यकताओं को पूरा करता है। प्रोटीन, विटामिन, कैल्शियम, वसा आदि पोषक तत्व कम मात्रा में लेकिन खाने अवश्य चाहिएं जैसे- हरी पत्तेदार सब्जियाँ, सलाद, सूखे मेवे, ताज़े फल, ताज़े फलों का रस आदि। कूड़ा-कर्कट (जंक फ़ूड), तंबाकू तथा नशीले पदार्थ मूर्ख दुश्मनों के लिए छोड़ देने चाहियें।</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">5. लेप/मालिश</span>- शरीर की प्राकृतिक स्निग्धता बनाए रखने के लिए सिर व पूरे शरीर की मालिश ज़रूरी है। जैतून, अरंडी, बादाम, नारियल का तेल उत्तम होता है। इससे प्राकृतिक आभा बढती है।</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">6. नियंत्रण</span>- दिल व दिमाग में चल रही उथल-पुथल चेहरे पर आ कर अपने निशान सदा के लिए छोड़ जाती है। इसलिए कम से कम अपने गुस्से को तो चेहरे से दूर ही रखें क्योंकि एक हज़ार त्योरियों से एक झुर्री बन जाती है।</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">7. मुस्कराहट</span>- मुस्कराहट एक ऐसा भाव है जो सामने वाले के दिल में आपकी नैसर्गिक सुन्दरता की ऐसी तस्वीर बनाता है जिसकी तरफ वह स्वयं खिंचा चला आता है। अन्दर से आप चाहें कितनी भी परेशान हों पर चेहरे पर हमेशा मुस्कराहट दिखाई देती रहे तो यकीन मानिए दुनिया में आपसे अधिक खूबसूरत कोई दूसरा नहीं।</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
इसीलिए, सदा मुस्कुराते रहिये। हाँ!!! बिल्कुल इसी तरह!</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
धन्यवाद </div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> Get it go Geeta Bhukkal ji!</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> - Off-Campus study centres must be whipped.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">After reading the following news piece </span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Chandigarh, September 2</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">After dragging its feet on the mushrooming of “teaching shops” in the form of off-campus centres and study centres of the state universities for several years, the state government has finally cracked the whip on them by banning them.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">In a development that would go a long way in checking the commercialisation of higher education, the recent monsoon session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha has passed four Bills amending the State University Acts to ban the off-campus centres and study centres inside and outside the state. The Haryana Private Universities Act, 2006, had already been amended to ban the setting up of off-campus study centres by the private universities.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">one can have a sigh of relief that at last the govt. has delved to realise and curb the reasons of poor educational quality in Haryana so far. Whether it be secondary or higher education, mushrooming and money-minting shops are a major threat to nation's intellectual reputation. Whereas, we are hoping for 'brain-cycle' back to India instead of brain-drain, it is imperative to corroborate such initiatives.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">If we have a look at the number of these so called off-campus study centres, the search is shocking. There are five state universities in Haryana, one of which has hundreds of centres in a single city. For example- </span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">State: Bihar City: Patna Total Record :153 Found.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">State: Haryana City: Hissar Total Record :129 Found</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">State: Gujarat City: Ahmedabad Total Record :75 Found.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">State: Haryana City: Panipat Total Record :90 Found.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">as found on </span><a href="http://erp.mdudde.net/study_centers.aspx" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" target="_blank">http://erp.mdudde.net/study_<wbr></wbr>centers.aspx</a><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> Isn't it shocking?</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">REASONS: In spite of crores of rupees being spent on higher education sector, the state universities need trivial agents to trap the students for their students' count so that they would be able to boast their fame. They think this bolsters their popularity. More over, the govt. too, wishes these universities to add to their monetary gains which is indirectly govt.'s income.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">CONSEQUENCES: Aftermath of these establishments is, that the quality of higher education in Haryana, at the verge of complete degradation. Mostly the students only from rural areas or with very weak knowledge background get admissions through these study centres and the owners guarantee them good score. There is no adequate provision to add to the aspiring students' knowledge, nor they themselves are willing to get knowledge. The teaching faculty hired by them is also not simpatico with the requisite experience of teaching.</span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">REMEDIES: The greatest and long lasting remedy is the current one to ban these shops sternly and make arrangements for good quality education in the state. Please remember that actions for the sake of only announcements, become jokes not for entertainment but credibility of the bills. </span><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Usha Taneja</span>

Life is a struggle; one must fight the battle of life bravely. Everybody who takes birth has to die one day. Therefore, one should make the best of life. Time at our disposal is very short. We must make the best use of every minute given to us by GOD. Life consists of action, not contemplation. Those who do not act, but go on hesitating and postponing things achieve nothing in life. Such persons as go on thinking and brooding can never attain the heights of glory. <div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ASbX_IAt-eE/TKyT0Ymo3iI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/a4cVGYFjbQA/s1600/worship1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ASbX_IAt-eE/TKyT0Ymo3iI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/a4cVGYFjbQA/s400/worship1.jpg" width="400" /></a>A short life full of action is much better than a long life of inactivity and indolence. Tennyson has rightly remarked that one crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name. a man lives in deeds, not in years. Age or height does not matter. What matters is what one makes of life. Ben Johnson, the school-poet writes:</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">“It is not growing big in bulk like a tree</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Doth make man better be.”</div><div class="MsoNormal">An Oak tree lives for 3 hindered years but it falls down as a dry, bald and useless log of wood. In contrast, a lily flower lives only for a day but it spreads its sweet fragnance all around and it is a source of joy and pleasure for all. A good life is a life lived for the good of others. It is a selfless life of service and dedication.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Life is action. Contemplation is not bad but is useless if it is not transformed into action. Noble thoughts are of no use if they are not transformed into hard work. Man is an image of God. He has not been sent to this world just to eat, live and sleep. An animal does the same, but a man must make some positive contribution to this world during one’s life time. A man who does nothing is forgotten as soon as he dies. According to great philosophers real life lies in hard work. Hard work is real worship.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ASbX_IAt-eE/TKyUEcDVDqI/AAAAAAAAAHg/3crama9Ew4U/s1600/work-is-worship-tanmay-singh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ASbX_IAt-eE/TKyUEcDVDqI/AAAAAAAAAHg/3crama9Ew4U/s400/work-is-worship-tanmay-singh.jpg" width="400" /></a>Longfellow has perfectly written:</div><div class="MsoNormal">“The heights by great men reached and kept, </div><div class="MsoNormal">Were not attained by sudden flight, </div><div class="MsoNormal">But they, while their companions slept, </div><div class="MsoNormal">Were toiling upward in the night.”</div>explorerUThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07745963819973891992noreply@blogger.com0
