Chaitanya, to his followers – called ‘Vaishnavas’ – was recognized as the incarnation of ‘Krishna’. He is sometimes called  Gauranga  or  Gaura  due to his molten gold-like complexion. His birthday is celebrated as  Gaura-Purnima .    Glimpses of His Saintly Life Chaitanya’s name before his initiation into the monastic order was Vishwambhar Mishra, the second son of Jagannath Mishra. He was also called Nimai because he was born under a Neem tree. He studied Sanskrit at Nadia which was the great seat of learning in tho

  Chanakya needs no introduction. He has been regarded as the greatest Indian philosopher, thinker, and diplomat. He was the son of Pandit Acharya Chanak, a great scholar of his time. Chanakya's real name was  Vishnugupta . Because of his “ Kautilya Niti ”, he came to be known as ‘ Kautilya’ . Born in  a  poor Brahmin family,  Chanakya  was educated at Takshashila (now in Pakistan), an ancient center of learning located in the northwestern part of India. Chanakya was in no way behind the scholars of Greece. He came to be known as the  Acharya of Nalandav Mahavidyalaya  about two thousand four hundred years ago. If you turn the pages of history, you will be surprised to read that he had described the country's system, economical strategies and the virtues of business in his  Chanakya Niti.   Chanakya expounded many ideas in various subjects like  political science, ethics, economy, statecraft, espionage, military strategies , etc. There are seventeen chapters in ‘ Chanakya Niti’

  Elevator accidents are a serious safety concern for the residents of multi-floor societies and for those who work in high-rise offices. Surveys and reports suggest that thousands of people die every year all over the world in elevator-related accidents. The National Elevator Industry Inc., which is the leading authority on elevator safety, reports that  approximately 10,000 people are injured in elevators each year . The main reasons behind this are safety rules which are often being flouted.  Fatalities in   lift accidents Recently, in a horrific accident at a high-rise society, namely Paras Tiera in Noida Sector 137, a 70-year-old woman died after the lift collapsed midway. The elevator that she boarded had a free fall owing to a cable that snapped.  The elevator did not hit the ground but was caught between some of the middle floors of the building. Following the incident, hundreds of residents of the society gathered and protested against the AOA. Residents demanded the i

          Mother Teresa-God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer. Silence is a source of great strength. Silence increases the power of the mind. There is no fear, anger, worry, or anxiety of any kind in a powerful mind. Practicing silence ends all kinds of mental disorders and can enhance all aspects of sleep. In silence, the mind becomes calm, comfortable, and fertile. That is also the time when the mind imbibes creative thoughts. Many experts and research studies have revealed that amidst the increasing noise in the world, some moments of silence can give us many health benefits. The absence of voice can mean emptiness, but by reducing the voice we can see amazingly good results for the body, mind, and mood. Silence here does not mean to remain silent or quiet but to get rid of the fuss of unnecessary thoughts. But at the same time,  refraining from speaking in certain situations is also a great way of imposing self-restraint. In today's fast-

  The story of Kashmir Files focuses on the exodus of Kashmiri Pundits from the valley in the 1990s. The film received its share of bricks and bats. Mostly, it was well received, globally. A lot of people related to the pain, a lot of them felt it spoke the truth, and an alternate opinion also said that it was made with an agenda. Movies must be treated as the culmination of imagination, fiction, research, and story-telling, and thus, there is no point in debating, right or wrong about them. I would like to believe that it was not made with an ulterior motive because films must unite us and not divide us. Every film has a fate and it finds its audience. Kashmir Files found a place in the heart of people, who had faced the situation or read about the exodus during those years. Kashmir issue has been close to my heart and when I watched the movie recently, it shook me as well.  MY PERSONAL FEELINGS Every person in India is aware of the terrorism and militancy that has existed in   Ka
