Guru of Lava and Kusha (son of Lord Rama).

Valmiki Sage | ratnakar valmiki
Maharshi Valmiki

Ever thought about who was Valmiki before turning to Rishi?

A man called Ratnakar used to steal and serve his family. He took part in many terrible loots from his nearby village. Once Narad Muni passed by the forest, Ratnakar stopped him and tried to rob him. Narad Muni asked Ratnakar, Why do you do this job? to which Ratnakar replied that to raise his family.    

Naradji says are your wife, son, and parents with you in this sin? upon this Ratnakar says "yes why not they are with me". Naradji says let's make your family members judge and ask them whether they share those sins.

Ratnakar went home asking his wife, son, and parents whether they will be part of his sin ?. On this his wife uttered words, "I will be part of your joy and sorrows, not your sins". He was shocked to hear her answer. Afterward, he returned to Narad Muni who said if your parents and wife do not want to be part of your sin, then why are committing this sin for them? 

Ratnakar felt alone, he grabbed Narad Muni's feet. Naradji guided him to the knowledge of the truth.

Naradji taught him to chant Ram-Nam. However Ratnakar was unable to pronounce Rama's name, therefore Narad Muni instructed him to chant "Mara-Mara", and soon he recited Lord Rama's name. Years passed but Ratnakar was still meditating and reciting Ram-Nam. Anthill was created upon Ratnakar. 

One day Naradji was passing by the way and cleared the anthill (a nest in the form of a mound built by ants). With a smile on his face, Naradji declared Ratnakar a sage, from now you will be called Valmiki (reborn from anthill). With tears of happiness, the sage Valmiki started his new life near the Ganga river.

The dacoit in this story gave up his existing world and created his own new world again which we call Ramayana. History says that Ratnakar, the dacoit of the past later on became Valmiki, the creator of the saga of Ramayana. 

This was the story of how Ratnakar, became Sage Valmiki from a Dacoit (hunter).

Valmiki had a great power of thinking. He had a different perception to look towards the world. Sage Valmiki stressed positive thinking. For him, service and human dignity are at the top.

Valmiki's words are rays of hope for millions of poor Dalits, they instill a sense of hope and belief in them. 

According to him if a person has willpower then he can accomplish any task easily. It is willpower that gives the strength to many youths to accomplish extraordinary tasks.

Valmiki Jayanti is celebrated on a full moon night or Purnima of Ashvin month.

We will be always grateful to sage Valmiki for writing such a great scripture like Ramayana, which will be a guide for the younger ones.  

At last from his teachings, we can conclude that,

Man is the master of infinite possibilities if he could know himself!

Chanting reversely Rama's name dacoit Ratnakar turned into Valmiki Maharshi who wrote the epic "Ramayana".

Happy Valmiki Jayanti

He began to pray for Brahma to acquire a boom to fulfill his desire as his prayers continued for years, Brahma had to appear in front of Mahishasura. 'No man in this universe should be able to kill me, was the boon obtained by Mahishasura from Brahma deva.

As there was a chance for women to defeat Mahishasura they wished to create a woman so powerful as to defeat him. They combined their power and created Goddess Durga, they gifted their weaponry to her who was ready to fight with Mahishasura with only 2 but 18 hands. The weapons she got from God were. With Sudarshan chakra from Lord Vishnu, Trident(Trishul) from Lord Shiva, and Vajrayudha from Lord Indra she mounted on Lion and started a battle with Mahishasura. Mahishasura likewise was ready, he attacked Goddess Durga with millions of soldiers. 

But Durga and her lion turned down the army of Mahishasura. After a fierce battle that lasted for nine days, Goddess Durga finally killed the demon Mahishasura. The gods celebrated this occasion which is now continued as Vijayadashami.

  2. Nine days of Navratri signify one of the nine forms of Goddess Shakti; Durga, Bhadrakali, Jagadamba, Annapurna, Sarvamangala, Bhairavi, Chandika, Latika, Bhavani and Mookambika
  3. Garba and Dandiya are two traditional dance forms that originate from the state of Gujarat and it is trendy in India during the Navratri festival.
  4. Mahishasura had the head of a buffalo so Navratri people sacrifice buffalo in many parts of the country. It should be beheaded in a single stroke.
  5. In some parts of India, women plant nine different kinds of food grain seeds in small pots. The newly grown saplings are then offered to Goddess.

Rafale | Indian Airforce

Indian Air Force stands at 4th position in the list of the strongest airforce in the world. After India got independence from the United Kingdom in 1947, the name Royal Indian Air Force was kept and served in the early of World War II. With the Transition of government to Republic in 1950, the prefix Royal was removed, and thus from 1950, it was called as Indian Air Force.

Marshal of Indian Air Force Arjan Singh Aulakh was a senior air officer of IAF. He was the first and so far 5-star rank officer of IAF in 2002 January. 

Air Chief Marshal Rakesh Kumar Singh is the current Chief of Air Staff in the Indian Air Force.

The Indian Air force is celebrating its 88th anniversary. The day is marked by the main event comprising a parade and flying in a similar pattern at Hindon Air Force Base. On Indian Air Force Day India showcases its aviation airpower. This year it will feature newly included Rafale fighter aircraft in the parade.

 Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had a significant amount of contribution to the world of Indian history. Becoming a Barrister from England and arriving in India, Gandhi had a great life, but it all started from removing him from the train by Britishers, and from that day Gandhi was not just a name and the Rest is history.

mahatma Gandhi was told to leave train

This year India may celebrate the 151st birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Born as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on 2nd October 1869 in Porbander, Gujrat. When Gandhi was growing up, few people had predicted that one day he would attract millions of followers.

In fact, when Gandhi was young he was ordinary and was extremely shy. He even described running home from school so he wouldn't have to talk to anybody. He became 'Father of Nation' and was fondly addressed as Bappu. He used to read various books, Grants, and many other Hindu novels. While he had written many books based on his experience, which still shows us the new way of life through his experience, his thoughts are meaningful even today.

7 lessons we should learn from Mahatma Gandhi.

  1. Innovation  (in the war people used weapons but he was the only one with non-violence and peace).
  2. Brander  (even today people can identify by glasses, stick, charkha) we should focus on our branding.
  3.  Mastermind (he used to convince people through his skills, ideas many people).
  4.  Mind is stronger than the body ( Gandhi was frail, but his mind was mightier).
  5.  Motivation (Belief in doing more than speaking.)
  6.  Healthy Mind & Body (he experimented with food to find out how eating in small quantity would give him enough energy)
  7. Anger & Negativity (Both anger and intolerance are the greatest negative forces and they can destroy a person )
  The charkha later became a symbol of autonomy and unity.

 Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?                           

                     - Mahatma Gandhi

Forgiveness is a trait of strong, not weak

Happy Gandhi Jayanti
