वैशाख पौर्णिमा - कूर्म जयंती - Start of Amphibian life on Earth - 7 May 2020


Today is Kurm Jayanti ( कूर्म जयंती  ). According to various scriptures of Sanatan Dharm,  it is believed to be the day the amphibians like Tortoise ( कूर्म ) ,  came into being on 'Planet Earth'. The amphibians  are the ones who  live in water as well as on land. Before amphibians, the aqautic life, like most types of fish,  came into being. Aqautic means living in water.

It is believed that in Sanatan Dharm ( aka Hinduism )  the life came into being, in the form of Mahaguru ( aka God ) called as Avatar ( अवतार  ). Guru means "One who removes" the "Darkness of matter". Avatar means the same,  but may or may not be humans. Ava ( अव )  means to 'descend' or 'come into existence' and tar ( तार )  means to heal or restore.  So,  the known 8 out of 10 Avatars are as follows :

 # Name नाम  Description 
 1 Fish मत्स्य Aquatic life on Earth
 2 Tortoise कूर्म Amphibian life on Earth
 3 Boar वराह Mammals  on Earth
 4 Narsimha नरसिंह Aggressive and Lion-like humans led by Narsimha.
 5 Vaman वामन Start of  Dwarf humans on Earth led by Vaman.
 6 Parshuram     परशुराम A Leader 'Parshuram' of Forest Dweller humans.
 7 Shri Ram श्री राम A Great Warrior King, during Treta Yug.
 8 Shri Krishn        श्री कृष्ण    A Great All-rounder,   during Dwapar Yug.             


Story of Life on Earth written within the scriptures of The Great Bharat ( aka India ).  Isn't it similar to the Darwin's theory ? Did Darwin suggest it first or it was already documented much much earlier ?

India needs to support ‘Free Tibet’ and rectify the mistake of Nehruvian Era.

Image
Tibet, before the massive Chinese influx of the 1950s, was a self-sufficient society.  The Chinese invasion of Tibet, which culminated in the 1962 war between India and China, has often been portrayed as the “Great Chinese Betrayal” and “a stab in the back”. But actually it was a  “stab in the front”  because the  stab was invited by India’s own Prime Minster, Jawaharlal Nehru. In the year 1950, two momentous events shook Asia and the world.  One was the Chinese invasion of Tibet, and the other, the Chinese intervention in the Korean War. The Chinese announced their invasion of Tibet on 25 October 1950. But about a year before the Chinese invasion, Nehru had written: “Chinese communists are likely to invade Tibet.” Despite being aware about this invasion, Nehru was showing more interest in Korea than in Tibet and encouraged the Chinese invasion into Tibet. According to Claude Arpi, a French expert on Tibet and China, said, Without Delhi’s active support, the Chinese troops would not ha

Dharmveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - 14 May 1647

Image
Dharmveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj,  or Shambhu Raje as he was fondly called, was the eldest son of the legendary Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He was born on 14 May 1647 at Fort Purander.    Sambhaji was called Dharmveer because he kept Aurangzeb engaged for many years and refused to convert himself to Islam when Sambhaji was captivated by Aurangzeb.  Sambhaji was tortured for more than forty  days, but did not succumb to the pressure. The last three days were the cruelest of all. Aurangzeb ordered the Sambhaji's tongue to be pulled out, his eyes were gouged out, and his limbs were severed. On the third day, his head was taken off his shoulders.  Sambhaji  was a true Hindu martyr, one who preferred death to an ignoble life of subservience by Islamic terrorists like Aurangzeb. In modern days too, we have seen how the Jihadis behead the infidels. This is the same age old 6th century   mindset which is endangering the entire humanity,  even today. Sambhaji's mother was Saibai,

Remembering the two great mathematicians named Bhaskaracharyas and the two Indian Satellites named Bhaskara !!

Image
Today is 7th June 2020 and would like to humbly write few words about the two Satellites launched by India named after two Great Mathematicians Bhaskaracharya-I and Bhaskaracharya-II Bhaskara-I was the second Indian satellite launched on 7th June 1979.  The first was Aryabhata with 3 nonmeteorological experiments. Bhaskara-I was launched as part of the satellite-for-earth-observations (SEO) program, and was placed in orbit by a Soviet vehicle launched from a Cosmodrome in the USSR. The main objectives were to conduct earth observation experiments for applications related to hydrology, telemetry, oceanography forestry and geology using a two-band TV camera system and a a two-frequency satellite microwave radiometer (SAMIR) system. Secondary objectives were to test engineering and data processing systems, to collect limited meteorological data from remote platforms, and to conduct scientific investigations in X-ray astronomy. Thereafter Bhaskar-II was launched on November 20, 1981. Bhask
