Indian festival - Shiv Jayanti

In the year 1869, Mahatma Jyotirao Phule (an Indian social activist, thinker, anti-caste social reformer and writer from Maharashtra) discovered the tomb of Shivaji Maharaj on Raigad and wrote the first and longest Ballad on his life. Shiv Jayanti was started by Mahatma Jyotirao Phule in 1870 with the first event in Pune. Since then Shiv Jayanti expanded on a large scale. After this, Bal Gangadhar Tilak worked to unite people during British Oppression through Shiv Jayanti. In the 20th century, Babasaheb Ambedkar also celebrated Shiv Jayanti, who was twice the president of Shiv Jayanti's program. Till then, to today, February 18th of every year (some on April 25th) Shivaji Jayanti is celebrated as a festival in India, especially in and around Maharashtra.

Shivaji Bhosale very well known as Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was Born  on 19 February 1630 at Shivneri Fort, Shivneri, Ahmadnagar Sultanate (present-day Maharashtra, India). Shivaji started from the declining Adilshahi sultanate of Bijapur and formed the Great Maratha Empire. In 1674, he was formally crowned as the chhatrapati (emperor) of his realm at Raigad. Over the course of his life, Shivaji engaged in both alliances and hostilities with the Mughal Empire, Sultanate of Golkonda and Sultanate of Bijapur, as well as European colonial powers. Shivaji established a competent and progressive civil rule with well-structured administrative organizations. He revived ancient Hindu political traditions and court conventions and promoted the usage of Marathi and Sanskrit, rather than Persian language, in court and administration.

Shivaji's father Shahaji Bhonsle and mother, Jijabai. Shivaji was devoted to his mother Jijabai, who was deeply religious. His studies of the Hindu epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, also influenced his lifelong defense of Hindu values.

Indian festival - Civil Services Day

Civil Services Day This is not a festival, but this day opens opportunity and encourages the youth to do something to the nation, let us celebrate this day as an Indian festival.

The Civil Services refer to the career bureaucrats who are the permanent executive branch of the Republic of India. The civil service system is the backbone of the administrative machinery of the country.

In India's parliamentary democracy, The ultimate responsibility for running the administration rests with the people's elected representatives—cabinet ministers. But a handful of ministers cannot be expected to deal personally with the manifold problems of modern administration. Thus the ministers lay down the policy and it is for the civil servants, who serve at the pleasure of the President of India. Civil servants are employees of the Government of India or of the states. As of 2010, there were 50,000 civil servants to administer.

The present civil services of India are mainly based on the pattern of the former Indian Civil Service of British India. Warren Hastings laid the foundation of civil service and Charles Cornwallis reformed, modernized, and rationalized it. Hence, Charles Cornwallis is known as 'the father of civil service in India'. With the passing of the Government of India Act 1919, the Imperial Services headed by the Secretary of State for India was split into two—the All India Services and the Central Services. The All India and Central Services (Group A) were designated as Central Superior Services as early as 1924. From 1924 to 1934, the administration of India consisted of 10 All India Services and 5 central departments, all under the control of the Secretary of State for India, and 3 central departments under joint Provincial and Imperial Control.

The present modern civil service was formed after the partition of India in 1947. It was Sardar Patel's vision that the civil service should strengthen cohesion and national unity. This date, 21st April, is chosen to commemorate the day when the first Home Minister of Independent India, Sardar  Vallabhbhai Patel addressed the probationers of Administrative Services Officers in 1947 at Metcalf House, Delhi, he referred to civil servants as the ‘steel frame of India’. The first such function was held in Vigyan  Bhawan, New Delhi  21 April 2006.

Vastu - Which direction should be head while sleeping?

One should sleep with his head towards the south and legs towards north according to ayurveda.

One can also sleep with his head towards east and legs towards west.

Never should you sleep with head in north/west directions

Scientific explanation for this: The body can be considered as a magnet with the head representing its magnetic north and feet representing its magnetic south. When one sleeps with head in South, magnetic fields from the head go towards to south of the earth and enters from the earth's north to the feet thereby forming a magnetic loop. This happens because in Magnetic theory, Opposites attracts and Likes Repel each other.

While when a person sleeps with his head facing the north, magnetic field of the body and earth are not in harmony and this results in the disturbed blood circulation resulting in mental unrest and a disturbed sleep.

According to scriptures :

1) Vishnu Purana says: “O King! It is beneficial to lie down with the head placed eastward or southward. The man who lies down with his head placed in contrary directions becomes diseased.”

2)The Varshaadi Nool ( a Tamil treatise on almanac) says: “Sleeping eastward is

good; sleeping southward prolongs life;

sleeping westward and northward brings ruin.”

3)The Mahabharata says: “Men become wise by sleeping eastward and southward.”

Vastu sleeping direction:

East:

Sleeping with head resting in the East enhances memory, health and spiritual inclination. It is usually advised by Vastu Shastra Consultants to plan the children's room in such a way that their Vastu sleeping direction comes out to

be east. This leads to higher

concentration and retention power.

South:

Vastu Shastra highly recommends this direction as your usual sleeping position with head towards the South. This is believed to provide sound sleep

and increase the wealth and prosperity in the household.

West:

This is not a very advisable sleeping position. Vastu Shastra says sleeping with head resting in West might cause disturbed sleep due to nightmares, some major illness and tendency

towards violence.

North:

The Vastu sleeping position with head in the North direction is strongly opposed. It might cause major illnesses and sleepless nights for the person sleeping in such a position.

Indian festival - Mahavir Jayanti

Mahavira was the 24th and the last Tirthankara (enlightened being). He was born in 599 BCE to King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala. As per legend, the Lord after birth was bathed by the god-king Indra with celestial milk. This ritual marked his birth as the birth of a Tirthankara. Mahavira, also called as Vardhamana, is regarded as a significant propagator of Jainism, as well as its reformer. He preached the philosophy to encourage nonviolence (Ahimsa), truthfulness (Satya), chastity (Bramacharya), non-stealing (Asatya), and simple living (Aparigraha).

The religious festival of Mahavir Jayanti is celebrated by the Jain community to commemorate the birth of the Lord Mahavira.

Lord Mahavira died in 527 BC at the age of 72 to achieve Moksha or Nirvana. His body was cremated at Pawapuri, which was later on converted into a Jain temple (presently known as Jal Mandir).

On this day, followers of Jainism bring home statues of Mahavira and give it a ceremonial bath traditionally called as Abhisheka. Special processions are carried out by the followers, showcasing a tableau on the life of Mahavira. Jain temples are packed with the devotees of the Lord who wish to seek blessings of Mahavira for prosperity.

The act of giving forms a significant part of the celebration. Following the principles of Lord Mahavira, the devotees practice charitable acts in one way or other.

The gift of giving can be any of the following:

• Gyan daan (spreading words of knowledge)
• Abhay daan (guarding the good from evil)
• Aushad daan (lending medical help)
• Ahaar daan (feeding the starving

Pen colour ink

There are five categories of colour ink pens which normally used and are as follows:
(1) Red ink pen. 
(2) Green ink pen. 
(3) Black ink pen. 
(4) Blue ink pen. 
(5) Anyone, not particular.

Let us see all once in brief:

1) Users of Red Ink.

Color Red is holy for some & dangerous to others’.  It is indeed a color of passion, color of romance, red roses, red wine, red hearts ……….. So you must have guessed by now: Yes, red color users are essentially romantic.

As the color itself is bright, so are such people, they want to be bright and always long for fame in the society.  They are the ones who want their presence felt everywhere.  They get their work done by their powers which is a characteristic of its kind.  They enter occupations which are unique and do not follow any familial lineage. True to their color they give their family name a brighter shine.  They are religious, artistic and ‘love to rule’ types.

Life is not always a bed of roses! They do undergo ups and downs in their career.   It would be in the form of, either losing the jobs, or unnecessary disputes or allegations or some kind of legal disputes (litigations).  But they do not lag behind and march on to make a place under the sun.   They have Greek God personality which could lead to fatal attractions.    

Ancestral property is not what their eyes are upon.  If they generously lend their money, they are sure it would never come back or if they vouch for someone they are trapped.  But these people are straight toward and find happiness in a family set up.  They enjoy luxurious houses and lavish cars.  They are born leaders. They face some hurdles in education and child bearing.  Fortunes do smile but smile late for them.  In the old age there is good support from children. They lead better lives than their families and kith & kin.

As quality of romance is attached to them so are these people lovers of good food and of course love to sport good clothes.  They are extremely polished in their behaviour with discreet use of etiquette   and social norms.   But they are warned against impulsive decision making.  There are possibilities of ailments of the bones, stomach operation and problems due to rash driving, accidents etc.  They are even prone to heart disease.  On the family front,   love life with wife is often turbulent.  There could be difference of opinions, an illness or an affair which could lead to divorce.(of course there could also be exceptions).

Legal disputes/partnerships are not always fruitful.  There is some luck associated with traveling abroad or even in your own country.  Fortunes rise at age 26 to 28 and bring along winds of change in life.  These people are rebellious and stubborn but there is there is no looking back at the onset of age 33.  They suddenly dig gold in life.   Of course they live a better life as compared to their parents.   Thorough family men, they earn stupendously and spend even at a faster rate.  Normally 36 to 56 is seen as the golden period of life.  At 42 some health problems occur.  Yes, these people are warned against wine, women and rash driving and last but not the least, borrowing money.   At age 50-60

some health problems resurface.   

Childhood is full of struggle, adulthood is better and old age is  comfortable and peaceful. They leave this mortal world after fulfilling all their responsibilities of life. They succeed away from their birth place in careers related to Consultancy, Import/Export, Arms & Ammunition or politics.

2) The Green ink users:

Green is  not necessarily  the color of  jealousy.   So  if you are the user of green  ink consider  yourself  immensely  lucky.    They are  very fortunate and success comes to them easily and naturally.   They may have to face loss  of  reputation  at age 22 to 24.   They usually  harm themselves  with their   stubbornness  and  impractical   principals   and  hardly   listen   to anybody and have a tall  ego. They see some good changes 3 to 4 times in  their  lives  and  slowly but  steadily  reach the pinnacles  of  success.

They face tensions  from the spouse’s  side.    But if they are expecting  a pot of gold from their parent’s ‘will’, it is next to impossible or they have to strive  very hard for it.  There  is  no support from siblings  and at least one of the siblings remains a constant source of anxiety for them. There are plenty of  hurdles to jump over.  But when it comes to work they are honest  to the  core and work bound.     Initially they  work for others  and then start their own business. They are  better  placed in life than  their siblings.   They enjoy luxurious houses and lavish cars and many other riches  in life. There  are chances getting  a sudden  gift in the  form of  a prime  piece  of  land  or a chance of  purchase of  a prime  property at dirt cheap price.  

Education is good and there is success  in Administrative, Technical and  Social Welfare fields.  They amass  abundant  wealth  and can easily impress people with their ‘gift of gab’.  They are religious with interests  in  the  occult  and  also  know a  bit  of   TANTRA  &  MANTRA. People  trust  them.    They escape unscathed from the wrath of  society even if  they do  some  wrong.  Children would give  them some worries. They begin  to earn at a younger age and see a lot  of  changes by  the time they reach age 25 to 34 and that is when the major transformation takes place  in life which finally leads  to unprecedented success.    They are particularly inclined towards  culture and literature.  Helping others  is more  important   to  them  than  anything   else,   even  at  the  cost  of personal loss.    

They don’t like artificial behavior. Though the  family is blessed with children but there is no happiness from them.  35-42 is the period  when they go  through many ups & downs in life.   Age  43-52 is the best period  in  life.  There  is  no  particular  interest  in  fashionable dressing but  wining and  dining is definitely their forte.   Heart disease, bones, stomach ailments,  skin  are expected.  Marriage  brings  in good changes in life.   52-55  is again faced with ups and downs. Partnership ventures  are  not  for  them.  Overseas  business  or  travel  related  to overseas  is   not  beneficial.      Education,   Banking  and   Administrative sectors are  good  fields  for  a  successful  career.    Normal  gains  from father.   There is good money in work related to Government.

Childhood  and   Adulthood   passes  is   comfortable   but  Old   age  is accompanied by  diseases.  End is sudden.   They will be better off  if they stay close  to their  birthplace.    However, life-span  is  over 70 and they are bereaved by  the death of  their  spouse.   Business  concerning  Real Estate  also  is  beneficial.    They are  advised  to wear Emerald  and Ruby for good luck.

3) Users of Black ink :

Black is  the  color which absorbs every color,  which nullifies the  effects of  evil eyes  and forms a protective  talisman.   So  users of  black  ink like to  show  off.    They  are   Pessimists   suffering   because  of   their   own stubbornness   and   impractical    approach,   though   there   may   be exceptions.      Success comes to them normally  at age 28 years.  They have  investigative   brains   and  do   not  easily   trust  others.    Loners, Writers,  Scientists  and Researchers  often  fall in this  category.  They do not have many friends.    

Success is only after some failure.    Their work is  often looked  at with a suspicion.   They succeed  in technical  ventures and secret missions.   They prefer to stay away from family, friends and relatives  to be able  to  work in solitude.    They do   not expect help  or cooperation  from others.    They suffer  from a  complex  and are often found  to  take  a  long  time   in  making  a  decision.     Success  comes suddenly in life.  They enjoy good wealth and palatial houses with all the luxuries.   They face one or two hurdles in education and  child bearing. Though their  children  bring  them a good name yet they are not on good terms with  them.   

They sometimes  suffer  financial losses  due to their masked  behavior.      Despite   being   in  highly  responsible   position   in society,   they  are  generally   looked   upon  with   suspicion.      However honestly  they work, people  always  have wrong impressions  about them. They are  fond of  good food and  fashionable  clothes.    They may  face accidents, imprisonment, fear of drowning, surgical operations, Stomach and Eye ailments.   During middle  age they become lethargic  and hence are deprived of  success.   Spouse dies much before them.   They prefer solitude  and never disclose  their  plans  and are miser.  Marriage  brings  in a  good  change  in life.   Spouse  also  earns and adds to their  fortunes. Legal matters, partnerships, speculation, commission agency, brokering and technical  work are  beneficial  to  them.  The age  from 18  to  27  is good for education, friendship and work.   Life becomes table before 33. There  are chances of  foreign  travel  at the cost of  others.   They are not very religious and believe more  in ‘karma’ than fate.  

Despite devoting more time  to wrongdoings,  they suddenly  achieve  some success at age 34 to 37.   For them,  the period  between 42 to 56 years of  age is  the golden  period  of   life.    There  are  chances of   being  penalised  by   the Government  for  some   misdeeds.      Sudden   financial  gains   through rewards or elevation  in status are possible.    Life  is  difficult and  often laden with some kind of risk & danger.

Life  for them  is  an adjustment and they are generally  unhappy. They are  solitary   creatures   who  prefer  to  remain   away   from   family  & relatives.     Suspicion  and  nagging  relationships   remain  a  source of tension during age 57 to 67 but old  age is comfortable.   Stagnating at a place is not good for them.  If they are in business, they should look  for some   new  overseas   business,    research   and   industrial    ventures. Partnerships  will  be very good for them.  Disappointments  and failures are  common  in  their  lives.  Happy moments  in  life are  far  and  few. Success comes to them after real hard work. SHANI YANTRA or BLUEYANTRA SAPHIRE or CORAL OR MANGAL will be beneficial.

4) Users of Blue ink:

Blue is  the color of  the ‘AZUR’, a color in the rainbow and also the color of harmony, so those who use blue ink are people who are social in their outlook.  They are  patriotic  souls  always  sincere  to their  duty to their nation.       These   duty   bound  citizen   are   law   abiding,   honest  and conscientious towards their work which benefits them too. ‘BHAGYA’ and ‘KARMA’  play  equal  roles  here.  They do   great service  to the society.

Their capabilities  give  them an important  place  and a great status in society.    They are superstitious,  home & family lovers,  always  ready to help  others.   Between 24-28 years of  age, they are on their  own. They love their family which is reciprocated.   They buy luxurious houses and lavish  cars  with most  of  the riches  at an early  age.  They move ahead with the help of  others and are utterly optimistic.   They don’t have long hours of waiting for the fruits of success.   They are simpletons and often not  very  ambitious  which  is  the  reason  for their  moderate  success. They don’t  like to show off. They are friendly & extroverts.   If they take up journalism, Education, Real Estate dealings, there is good amount of success. After  32 there is  a good change  in life. Up  to 40 there is  full success.  There might be a hurdle in education or childbearing. They are satisfied with their work. The family remains together till the end unless there is some specific reason  for a disturbed life with wife.  They are not very fashion conscious and have normal eating habits. A surgery and/or Blood, Eyes,  Throat,  bones  and  liver problem  are expected. 5-7 year after marriage there is a good change.   Court cases, legal disputes and loans  are not part of  their  life. Success  in partnership  deals  comes to them  only after some initial difficulties. Even the benefits from Ancestral property do  not come without litigation.

They succeed  in life with the help of  others.    Carrying on a legacy or working under  the  directions  of  others will  be more beneficial.    At  50-52, there are some health  problems.    Life  at 55-65 is  very good.   A foreign travel from business point of  view will prove to be fruitful. Gains from father  and the government will  be normal.  They live a life at  par with  their  parents.  They have  satisfactory  sources of  income  and look after  their  family.   A sea voyage will  be extremely  lucky.   Fortunes  rise with age and they are satisfied with their work.

Life  during  childhood  is  o.k., during  youth they work hard and stand on their  feet,  while during  old  age  life is  comfortable.  End comes due to some disease.    Love  thy neighbor  is  their  motto  in life.   They follow social  norms. Life  span is  expected to be over 80 but untimely accidents cannot be ruled out.  Money comes  in various ways. They are extremely  cautious  in  their  spending.    So   as they are parsimonious, their  life  partners  could  be  just  the  opposite,  which  maintains  the balance.       SURYA   YANTRA  and/or    Ruby   is    good,  diamond   and/or

‘SHUKRA YANTRA’ can  also benefit them.

4) USERS OF ANY OTHER COLOUR OF INK.

Those who use  whatever  color of  ink that  comes  their  way are happy go  lucky.  They   are over-ambitious ‘jacks of  all trades’ who love great dream projects.   They are dilettante.   They are like a rolling stone that  gathers  no moss. They flit  from one work to another.   They preach one thing  and practice  another. They hardly  fulfill their  promises.    It is very  difficult to  extract  work from such  people.  They  know  how  to mesmerize  people  with  their  talks  and get their  work done. Despite  of not having any major funds with  them, they make a big  show of it there by  making a place for themselves.   They reveal their plans before hand which  leads  to  hurdles  in  their  way.  Such  people  are  influenced  by opinions  of  others  which is  why they stray from their  basic  aim.    They work on what the  others  say.    Therefore  they are  labeled  as fickle minded  unreliable.  They  have  to  put  in  lots  of  efforts  for any  work. They are successful only after a lot of struggle.  They benefit more when working in a team, independent decision making is not their forte.  They make money early  in life and  love  to enjoy at others’  expenses.  They love flattery. Life at 27-33, brings about a change  in life.

Profits  from  work involving leadership/contracts/commission  and brokerage etc. are indicated.

Their love  for food and attire  is  of  compromising  sort. They may face problems  due to Rash driving, drowning, stomach and heart ailments, respiratory diseases etc.   They may have extra-marital affair which mess  up their  lives.    They enjoy conjugal  bliss  even  while away from the spouse. Such people are often figured as controversial.   Court cases, disputes  and joint  ventures bring  them gains.     After  42 years they earn wealth  and  fame  in the  society.  

Opportunities  of  overseas travel  are indicated.  Though there  are gains  from the government, the life at  age  52  to  56  involves  legal,  familial and  governmental  wrath. They hoard ‘un-accounted’  wealth  which they  are  not able  to enjoy due to cheating  by  people.  They have a better  old  age compared to youth. Such people should be cautious while dealing with those having contrary opinions.  It is  better not to follow them  blindly.  Life  expectancy is  more than 65 years.   They are advised  to wear a pearl  or ‘LASUNIA’,  it  will be beneficial to them.  Life is full of ups and downs.
