Shakti Peethas

The Shakti Pithas are places of worship consecrated to the goddess Shakti or Parvati or Sati or Durga, the female principal of Hinduism and the main deity of the Shakta sect. They are sprinkled throughout the Indian subcontinent.


This goddess Parvati/Lalita, the goddess of power is the complete incarnation of Adi parashakti, has three main forms, which are known as Durga, goddess of strength and valour, and with Mahakali, goddess of destruction of the evil and Goddess Gowri, the goddess of goodness.


In the Satya Yuga, King Daksha(father of Sati) performed a yagna with a desire to take revenge on Lord Shiva. Daksha was angry because his daughter Dakshayani also known as Sati had married God Shiva against his wish. Daksha invited all the deities to the yagna except for Shiva and Shakti. The fact that she was not invited did not deter Shakti from attending the yagna. She had expressed her desire to attend to Shiva who had tried his best to dissuade her from going. Shiva eventually allowed her to go escorted by his followers.


Daksha insulted Shiva. Shakti was unable to bear her father's insults toward her husband, so Sati  jumped into the fire at the Yagna place. Enraged at the insult and the injury, Shiva destroyed Daksha's sacrifice, cut off Daksha's head, and later replaced it with that of a male goat as he restored him to life. Still immersed in grief, he picked up the remains of Sati's body, and danced the dance of destruction through the Univers (Tandav nritya). The other gods intervened to stop this dance, and the Vishnu 's weapon, or Sudarshana Chakra, cut through the corpse of Shakti. The various parts of the body fell at several spots all through the Indian subcontinent and formed sites which are known as Shakti Peethas today.
At all Shakti Peethas, the Goddess Shakti is accompanied by Lord Bhairava (a manifestation of Lord Shiva).

Don't try Indians patiece

When I have seen the movie "Rang de basanti".. uska end dekh k mujhe laga tha k kisi bhi chiz ko leke hamari county k log iss tarah se jagrit ho k nahi ladenge..par I am really very much socked k aaj hamara pura desh ak ho k Brastachar k khilaf ki iss ladai me Anna ji k sath he.. sahi me hats of to Anna ji k unhone pure desh ko ak dhage me bandh lia he.. jahan koi alag nahi he.. har dharm k, har jati k har tarah k log iss ladai me annaji k sath he..koi cast alag nahi he.. I am really proud to be an Indian.. And the main thing is  that k  this problem is about us.. Common people.. Mujhe lagata tha k hame sehan karne ki adat ho gai he.. yahan har roj kuch naya hota he.. aur hum do din me uss chiz k hisab se jine lagte he..kisi ak akele se insan se ye dunia nahi badalti na chize badalti he.. par aaj usi ak insan ki koshish ne ye rang dikhaya he.. jahan har koi sab kuch bhul k Annaji k support me he.. har age k log he vahan.. log apni job, apni study, family sab chhod k vahan bethe hue he..  but seriously "Don't try Indians patiece".. May be kabhi Annaji ne bhi nahi socha hoga na to kabhi kisi Indian ne k hamara desh sirf ak avaz ban k gunj uthega  without any Violence..

DNA computing

A nano computer  that uses DNA (deoxyribonucleic acids) to store information and perform complex calculations.

In 1994, University of Southern California computer scientist Leonard Adelman suggested that DNA could be used to solve complex mathematical problems. Adelman found a way to harness the power of DNA to solve the Hamiltonian path problem , whose solution required finding a path from start to end going through all the points only once.

Each city was encoded as its own DNA sequence (DNA sequence consists of a series of nucleotides represented by the letters A, T, G, C).

The DNA sequences were set to replicate and create trillions of new sequences based on the initial input sequences in a matter of seconds (called DNA hybridization). The theory holds that the solution to the problem was one of the new sequence strands. By process of elimination, the correct solution would be obtained.

Adelman's experiment is regarded as the first example of true nanotechnology

The main benefit of using DNA computers to solve complex problems is that different possible solutions are created all at once. This is known as parallel processing. Humans and most electronic computers must attempt to solve the problem one process at a time (linear processing). DNA itself provides the added benefits of being a cheap, energy-efficient resource.

In a different perspective, more than 10 trillion DNA molecules can fit into an area no larger than 1 cubic centimeter. With this, a DNA computer could hold 10 terabytes of data and perform 10 trillion calculations at a time.

fight again corruption

The Jantar Mantar in New Delhi is a hot favourite of the average tourist in the summer. But since 5 April 2011, the astronomical observation site has become a focus of an anti-corruption campaign that has never been seen before, thanks to Anna Hazare. After decades of utter frustration, this one man, a veteran Gandhian, has emerged as the champion for tackling the menace of corruption. His crusade is a measure of the pent-up anger, especially among the young, springing from the manner in which politicians of all hues are taking the country for a ride through misuse of office and naked corruption. With the gap between the haves and have-nots widening, there is a sense of frustration among the diminishing tribe of honest Indians which is ready to explode.


Over the past six decades, the four pillars of democracy, the legislature, judiciary, executive and the press, have all developed serious problems in India. The rule of law stands subverted and moral values seriously eroded. The civil rights of women and children suffer blatant violations. Daily newspapers are replete with news of rape, dowry-deaths, trafficking, abduction and murder. The weak, the elderly and those living alone are robbed and killed every day. The police authorities prefer to look the other way. Attempts to lodge complaints with them are simply stonewalled unless some activist take the cudgels of justice in their hands. Members of the hallowed corridors of the law courts have succumbed to the temptations of underhand deals. Shanti Bhushan, a leading lawyer, claimed that half of the 16 supreme court chief justices before whom he had appeared were corrupt.


Newspaper owners and managers are known to strike deals with corporate bosses to give them favourable coverage through "paid news". Schools openly arm-twist parents to part with hefty sums of money before admitting children to their portals and euphemistically call it a "donation". Indeed no receipt is given for this transaction. While the government feigns helplessness, the practice gains acceptance.


Most of the emerging middle-class's entrepreneurs are blinded by their desire to get rich quickly, by hook or by crook. Their conscience does not prick them when they resort to falsification, telling lies, fraudulent practices, cheating and adulteration. Dodging taxes in the name of tax planning is smart business. Even godly men and religious preachers are embroiled in corruption and scandals of various types. The country has an abysmal record of penalising offenders who have someone to protect.


Hazare, a social worker, has been demanding that the government enact a comprehensive anti-corruption law and draft a citizen's ombudsman bill, or Lokpal bill. He looks to have won his battle, so has announced that he will break his fast on Saturday. India must fully embrace his plan to root out the cancer of corruption. Otherwise, this climate of economic hardship, with high food prices and rising unemployment, could become a catalyst for political turmoil of the sort seen elsewhere in the world, with even more serious consequences not only for India but also for the rest of the world. The Facebook youth of India might just wake up.

string theory

String theory is a developing theory in particle physics that attempts to reconcile
quantum mechanics and general relativity. It is a contender for the theory of
everything (TOE), a manner of describing the known fundamental forces and matter
in a mathematically complete system. The theory has yet to make testable
experimental predictions, which a theory must do in order to be considered a part of
science.


Five major string theories were formulated. The main differences among them were
the number of dimensions in which the strings developed and their characteristics; all
of them appeared to be correct, however. In the mid 1990s a unification of all
previous superstring theories, called M-theory, was proposed, which asserted that
strings are really 1-dimensional slices of a 2-dimensional membrane vibrating in
11-dimensional space.

parallel universe

A parallel universe or alternative reality is a hypothetical self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own. A specific group of parallel universes is called a "multiverse", although this term can also be used to describe the possible parallel universes that constitute physical reality. While the terms "parallel universe" and "alternative reality" are generally synonymous and can be used interchangeably in most cases, there is sometimes an additional connotation implied with the term "alternative reality" that implies that the reality is a variant of our own. The term "parallel universe" is more general, without any connotations implying a relationship, or lack of relationship, with our own universe. A universe where the very laws of nature are different – for example, one in which there are no relativistic limitations and the speed of light can be exceeded – would in general count as a parallel universe but not an alternative reality. The correct quantum mechanical definition of parallel universes is "universes that are separated from each other by a single quantum event."


One of the first Sci-Fi examples is John Wyndham's Random Quest about a man who, on awaking after a laboratory accident, finds himself in a parallel universe where World War II never happened with consequences for his professional and personal life, giving him information he can use on return to his own universe.


Sometimes the parallel universe bears no historical relationship to any other world; as in the novel Raft by Stephen Baxter, which posits a reality where the gravitational constant is much larger than in our universe. (Note, however, that Baxter explains later in Vacuum Diagrams that the protagonists in Raft are descended from people who came from the Xeelee Sequence universe.)


One motif is that the way time flows in a parallel universe may be very different, so that a character returning to one might find the time passed very differently for those he left behind


science:


new dimensions” more commonly — and more accurately — refer to additional coordinate axes, beyond the three spatial axes with which we are familiar. By proposing travel along these extra axes, which are not normally perceptible, the traveler can reach worlds that are otherwise unreachable and invisible.


1884, Edwin A. Abbott wrote the seminal novel exploring this concept called Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. It describes a world of two dimensions inhabited by living squares, triangles, and circles, called Flatland, as well as Pointland (0 dimensions), Lineland (1 dimension), and Spaceland (three dimensions) and finally posits the possibilities of even greater dimensions. Isaac Asimov, in his foreword to the Signet Classics 1984 edition, described Flatland as "The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions."


The multiverse (or meta-universe, metaverse) is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes (including the historical universe we consistently experience) that together comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them. The term was coined in 1895 by the American philosopher and psychologist William James.The various universes within the multiverse are sometimes called parallel universes.


The structure of the multiverse, the nature of each universe within it and the relationship between the various constituent universes, depend on the specific multiverse hypothesis considered. Multiverses have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, religion, philosophy, transpersonal psychology and fiction, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. In these contexts, parallel universes are also called "alternative universes", "quantum universes", "interpenetrating dimensions", "parallel dimensions", "parallel worlds", "alternative realities", and "alternative timelines", among others.
