Subh Ram Navami to all Bhagavad Bandhus!

Shriram Navami is a Hindu festival that commemorates the birth of Shriram, Shri Vishu's seventh incarnation.

During Punarvasu nakshatra (Lunar asterism) at twilight in karka lagan, Ramachandra was born in Ayodhya on this day, when the Sun and five other planets, among others, were positioned.

Though born in an affluent family, Rama lived and practiced dharma as a common man. He taught with his actions and not merely by his words.

Being born on Navami, or the ninth day of the lunar calendar denotes being eternally young. The number nine is timeless and never loses its uniqueness.

The sum is nine when multiplied by any other number. 9 x 7 = 63, for example, and 6 + 3 = 9. The relationship between Lord Rama and the number nine signifies that the Ramayana and Rama's persona would never lose their freshness with time.

Why are marriages banned in the same gotra?

All the men and women born in the same gotra of father, and belonging to his varna are called gotri brothers or gotri sisters in Hindu Sanatan Dharma. That is why marrriages are banned amongst sagotra (same gotra) brothers and

brothers and sisters.”

“Its scientific aspect is that just as marriages in extremely different castes bring distortion, likewise unusually common marriages in the same gotra and its sub-varieties are undesirable. The main reason of marriage in the same varna but outside the

Gotra is that in unusually common contacts there is nothing special which is added to the basic object. There is no reaction of either attraction or repelling. By mixing the same common milk to the milk of the same varna nothing extraordinary results. But if a little yoghurt is

By mixing the same common milk to the milk of the same varna nothing extraordinary results. But if a little yoghurt is mixed into the common milk, then it not only converts it into curd but adds special properties of organising butter elements also.
The simple formula of marriage

is that the marriage should not take place outside caste, as well as it should not be with extremely common persons in the same varna and caste. From the scientific point of view the best physical, mental and spiritual relationship takes place between people.

Sharda Amba was known for its library, stories recount scholars travelling long distances to access its texts. It played a key role in the development and popularisation of the Sharada script in North India.

New Sharada Amba Mandir will be built on the banks of Kishanganga river in Teetwal, en route to the Sarvajna Peeth with Sringeri Mutt support and will be providing a Panchaloha murti of Devi Sharada to be established in Kashmir just across the LOC.

LEADERS DO NOT SHOW THAT THEY PERFORM

An experiment was carried out to determine whether greyhounds could compete with the speed of a cheetah.

When the cages were opened, people were surprised that the cheetah didn't move.

They inquired of the race director as to what had occurred and why the cheetah had not moved.

"Sometimes attempting to prove that u r the best is an insult to ur self-worth," he says. There is no need to bring urself down to other people's levels for them to understand ur abilities, traits, & contributions. It is preferable to conserve ur energy for more worthwhile tasks.

A cheetah's speed is used to hunt, not to demonstrate to dogs that it is faster & stronger. Don't waste your time & energy proving your worth to people who simply don't have the skill set to recognize it. "Move along."
