भगवान शिव उत्पत्ति,स्थिति तथा संहार के देवता हैं। फाल्गुन मास में आने वाली शिवरात्रि के दिन स्नानादि नित्य कर्म से निवृत्त होकर भक्त यदि ‘‘नमःशिवाय’’ इस पंचाक्षर मंत्र का जाप अनवरत करता है तो उसे उत्तम फल की प्राप्ति होती है। वह मृत्यु पर विजय प्राप्त कर मोक्ष ग्रहण कर लेता है। नारायण जब मायारूपी शरीर धारण कर समुद्र में शयन करते हैं तो उनके नाभि -कमल से पंचमुख ब्रह्मा उत्पन्न होते हैं और वे सृष्टि निर्माण की प्रार्थना करते हैं। भगवान ने पाँच मुखों से पाँच अक्षरों का उच्चारण किया यही शिव वाचक पंचाक्षर मंत्र है। इसके प्रारंभ में ऊँ लगा देने से यह षड़ाक्षर हो गया है। यह मोक्ष, ज्ञान का सबसे उत्तम साधन है। शिव नाम की महिमा अनन्त है। सामान्य मनुष्य तो इनकी महिमा का गुणगान करने में असमर्थ है ही माँ भगवती सरस्वती भी भगवान के गुणों का वर्णन करने में असमर्थ प्रतीत होती है। श्री पुष्पदन्ताचार्य ने शि...

Indian Air Force well supported by Indian army has made countrymen proud by having a surgical-strike part-II by destroying terror-camps set up by Pakistan in Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir PoK. Factually speaking timely step by Indian forces is otherwise also perfectly justified too because Indian forces acted in its own territory Pok because complete Kashmir including PoK is integral p[art of India. Very few people know that even state-assembly of Jammu and Kashmir has vacant seats to be voted by voters in PoK illegally occupied by Pakistan. Surgical-strike part-II is part of chakravyuh formed by Indian government where already other tough steps affecting Pakistani economy have been taken. Such practical steps will make Pakistani people force their government to come at ease with India. Oth...

Categorising CRPF personnel killed in militant-attack in Pulwana in name of freedom of expression by section of Indian media highlighted by Pakistan It is indeed unfortunate that media-persons, human-rights-activists and others are at liberty for highly objectionable categorisation of CRPF personnel killed in militant-attack in Pulwana, an aspect highlighted by Pakistani media that only some Indian urbanites are vocal against cowardly attack in Pulwana. Indian government must not allow such media-analysis in name of freedom of expression. There are sufficient provisions in Indian Penal Code to arrest such anti-national Indian media-persons. Either courts should take sue-motto cognizance of such anti-national activities, or else central government under Governor-rule should file crimi...
Abolish totally useless constitutional provision of Legislative Councils in states to eliminate political favoritism and corruption

Abolish totally useless constitutional provision of Legislative Councils in states to eliminate political favoritism and corruption

addtop, समाचार
It is a common knowledge that state Legislative Councils (Vidhan Parishads) are nothing but white-elephants on state-exchequers to rehabilitate favorites and relations of political rulers at heavy public-cost, that too absolutely without any fruitful public-purpose. Vidhaan Parishads in states which were gradually being abolished by many states in post-emergency period after 1977 with just five remaining at a time, are being gradually revived to politically rehabilitate favourites of political rulers. Since these serve absolutely no purpose, constitutional provision of having Legislative Councils in states should altogether be abolished. Already massive misuse of the constitutional provision has been reported repeatedly. UP governor Ram Naik in the year 2015 returned list of nominees for ...
Capping margins of retailers on just 73 more drugs: Why not all

Capping margins of retailers on just 73 more drugs: Why not all

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to media-reports about National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority NPPA considering capping of profit-margins of 73 more drugs but leaving out many more again. It is beyond understanding why and how NPPA does not have a profit-formula uniformly for all drugs at a time when even generic medicines considered to be a cheaper version of respective branded medicines have exorbitant trade-margins of several hundred percent. Such unethical profit-margins are continuing in drug-industry despite Competition Commission of India CCI and Central Information Commission CIC have taken cognizance of serious issue. There are many medicines where different drug-manufacturers take undue advantage of their brand-popularity with prices of same medicine differing several times according to brand-popula...

Non-Banking-Finance-Companies NBFCs and banks lure people through mobile-calls for getting unsecured loans without any collateral security on post-dated cheques or banking-instruction for auto electronic-clearing for Equated Monthly Installments EMIs. But when are somehow not able to clear EMIs on presentation, then these money-lending companies badly torture loan-takers through ugly threats in full voice. Legal notices sent are shown delivered by conspiring with private courier-agencies. What more, money-lending companies file court-cases in far-away cities other than of the loan-taker despite office of the company also being situated in the city of loan-taker so as to unduly harass the loan-taker. Mobile-calls for luring such loans should be totally banned. Terms must be so regulat...

India should dictate terms to remain in ICC: Remove Pakistan from ICC

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Leading cricketers are hesitating from giving clear-cut statements in favour of Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI imposing much-needed harsh conditions on International Cricket Council ICC to expel terror-generating Pakistan from ICC, for the obvious reasons of more than hefty monetary receipts from BCCI in form of annual salary-package, pensions, match-money and award money running in annual receipt of crores of rupees for each individual cricketer. It is despite the fact that BCCI affairs are under supervision of Supreme Court administered monitoring committee. It is non-sense to plead that sports, arts may be kept out of Indo-Pak affairs. Pakistan Cricket Control Board and ICC are financially dependent totally on Indian cricket. Breaking cricket-ties with Pakistan will make ...

It refers to media-reports about Supreme Court collegium not changing its recommendations of 10.01.2019 on transfer of judges at High Courts including transfer of Telangana Chief Justice Radhakrishnan as Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court. Big question is what happens next, when present system allows appointment of judges at higher courts as per recommendations of Supreme Court collegium in case collegium declines to review its earlier recommendations. It is a matter of concern that central government and concerned ones at Supreme Court could not achieve consensus on system of appointments in higher judiciary.   Best is to constitute a permanent National Judicial Commission having retired Supreme Court judges as member-nominees of President, Prime Minister, Chief Justice of India, lea...
