Lord Shiva and Shravan Maas

hi dear friends shravan maas is runing so i write that post...


IMPORTANCE OF SHRAVAN MAAS

The month of Shravan is the fifth month of the Hindu calender beginning from Chaitra, and is the most auspicious month of the Chaturmas. On Purnima or fullmoon day, or during the course of the month the star 'Shravan' rules the sky, hence the month is called Shravan. This month is spread out with innumerably religious festivals and ceremonies and almost all the days of this month are auspicious.

Shravan is considered the holiest month of the year. Each monday of this month, known as Shravana Somvar, is a special day in Shiva temples where the dharanatra hangs over the linga or the idol to bathe it with holy water, day and night. Devotees pile the linga high with Bel leaves and flowers and fast till sunset. The nandadeep (24 hour lamp) burns steadily in the temples.

Shravan Somvara Vrat (Monday fasting on Shravan month)

One of the name of Lord shiva is soma - saha uma. For the Lord someshvara Who wears the soma, the moon crescent on the matted hair, on the somavara day (Monday), this festival is observed.

Though all Mondays can be observed as vrat there are special mondays when it is much more emphasised to observe like the shravan Somvar and karthikai sOmavAr. According to skandha purANa, on the Mondays of the month kArthikai (mid Nov to mid Dec) this vrata is observed.


Way of observing

After taking bath pray to the Auspicious and Graceful Lord Shiva. Anointing the Lord with panchAmRitam and other pleasant substances, hail the Lord offering bilva leaves. During the day don't take any solid food. U can take Milk/ buttermilk/ fruit juice/ fruits . After 6'o clock in the evening pray to Lord Shiva and break ur fast and eat normal solid food (avoid onions and garlic) . Your fasting should start from 12 in the midnight and ends at in the evening on monday. It is believed that one who fasts on all Monday of Shravan has all prayers from the heart answered. It is not necessary to undergo rigid practices. Even for this fast, different people may have different practises....e.g. some people may not have buttermilk or some may have specific mantras to be chanted. You can follow whatever gives you a peace of mind.


Each day in the month of Shravan has a special significance and has its own ritual.
Monday: is the day of Lord Shiva worship.
Tuesday: Gauri is worshipped in every home, by women for the good health of their family.
Wednesday: are dedicated to Vithala, a form of Vishnu or Krishna.
Thursday: are also days for worshipping Buddh and Guru.
Friday: every home worships Lakshmi and Tulsi.
Saturday: are for Saturn (Shani). It is also known as Shravan Saturdays, with the object of object of obtaining wealth. These days are known as Sampat Sanivara (wealth Saturdays).
Sundays: are meant worshipping the Sun god. Sun worship was general in Vedic period and even now it is so. Especially in Shravan, every Sunday the Sun is worshipped without fail.

monsoons...

hi friend everybody like monsoon...i like monsoon very much...it's give very relex...
so let's khonw about monsoon..




IN MONSOON MY DEAR DEV ENJOING....A LOT...






Question: What Is a Monsoon?

Monsoon season is a welcome relief to drought conditions in many areas of the world. Monsoons can also bring about widespread famine and enough rain to kill hundreds of people in floods. While the Asia and India monsoons are famous, there are even monsoon season in the United States. So, what is a monsoon?


Answer: Monsoons, or rainy seasons, are a shift in wind direction which causes excessive rainfall in many parts of the world including Asia.

Why Do Wind Patterns Shift in a Monsoon?

Differential heating occurs when the sun heats the land and oceans. Incoming solar radiation heats landmasses faster than large bodies of water. In tropical and sub-tropical climates, solar heating is most intense in the summer months. As the land heats throughout the summer, a large low pressure system builds over the land.




History of Monsoon Studies.

The word monsoon is derived from the Arabic word mausim meaning season. The most famous monsoon is the Indian monsoon. The intense rainfall in these regions can cause massive flooding and destruction of crops. In dry climates, monsoons are an important replenishment for life as water is brought back into drought-stricken zones of the world. Part of the reason India gets such an intense monsoon season is due to its elevation.

How to get over sadness in our life?

hi friends i write today something about sadness,,,
because Right now my one of the friend is so much sad..so....
some idei in my mind..and share with you.

Many a times, the problem lies in the way , we view a certain situation. Every happening, every event, every opportunity in life, comes with its own pros and cons. How we choose to view it, most of the times, depends upon our attitude. Just like a glass of water, may appear half-full to some and half-empty to some, the same way, we may only be considering the negatives and choosing to ignore the positives.
I remember, a friend of mine, was stuck up in a low-paying, uninteresting job, and used to feel quite low about it. One day, we just discussed his situation and to our surprise, discovered a lot of positive things. The good things, which he had probably taken granted, till then were: he was only 20 minutes from his office, no late hours, very accommodating boss., while most of the people were spending 4-5 hours , just traveling to and from office. He was able to spend a lot of time with his family. And this discovery , immediately lifted his spirits, infact, he even stopped looking for a change. So, let?€™s concentrate on pros rather than cons !
Distract your thoughts

.If one is unable to analyze the situation with the clarity of thought required to break it down into positives and negatives, the other alternative is to busy oneself in other activities, preferably, things one enjoys doing, like listen to music, watch a movie, read a book, take a vacation with friend or family. Such distractions can actually un-hook us from the negative mindset.
Laugh out the Blues

There? no doubt that ?laughter is the best medicine? and one should take recourse into it, when everything else fails. Watch a funny movie, read a humorous book or just try remembering the most funny incident of your life. Just laugh your guts out and lighten the burden of negative thoughts.

Pen down your thoughts...

Another effective way of countering the blues, is penning down your thoughts. Most of the times, the triviality of the issue would immediately be evident , once you try writing it down. We generally try to follow a logical flow when we write , but in cases, where the negative mindset springs from illogical thinking, the same will become obvious when we try to pen it down.
Work the blues out

A vigorous work-out can actually be very effective in flushing out the negativities from the system. Go to the gym or better still , some aerobics at home, over your favourite number, will do the trick !!

Do Charity..ok>>

Selfless service, giving without any expectations, helping others and just brightening up someone?€™s else?€™s life are great stress busters. The joy of giving without expecting anything in return , has miraculous curative powers. The happiness that you will bring in someone else?€™s life will help you bond with the ultimate reality ?€“ Love !! Once you allow yourself to get fully submerged in love, there would be no place for hurt, sadness, grief?€?.. Let there be love and only love in your life. And remember that love holds no expectations, knows no boundaries?€?.it is the Universe?€?the supreme reality !!

Finally, just think, how much worse, it could have been?€?.Try to feel good and grateful for what you have. Think of the millions of children , starving to death in Somalia, think of the millions who are jobless, think of those whose lives have never been, distantly brushed by any form of love and care?€?think of those who have lost everything in life?€?..Don’t you find yourself so much better off !!

Himalaya

History of Himalayas

The Himalayas are not merely a geographical feature, a range of mountains; they epitomise a people’s civilisational identity that goes back to the dawn of history. If these majestic mountains were not there, the rain clouds sweeping up from the Indian Ocean would have passed over the Indian subcontinent into central Asia leaving it a burning desert.

Archaeological evidence reveals that urban civilisation first emerged in the valleys of the rivers coursing down from the Himalayan mountains. When man elsewhere was cautiously emerging from his cave shelters, spectacular cities flourished at Mohenjodaro and Harappa in the Indus valley.


English climbers were the first ones to conquer the Mouth Everest debacle. Before World War IInd, three English expeditions were sent to the north of Himalayas, which is the Tibetan side of the Mount Everest. Twice the climbers reached the altitude of 8,600m, but unfortunately failed to summit.

The southern side of the Mount Everest, that is the Nepalese side of the mountain was opened to the mountaineers after World War IInd. After the occupation of Tibet by China, the mountaineering expeditions toward Mount Everest began from the Nepalese side. On 29th May, 1953, after three decades of immense attempts, man finally reached the highest-lying point on Earth. The winning team of the first climbers of the Mount Everest consisted of Newzealander Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa.

How to Win LIfe?

>Life>





Assume for a moment that life is a game. Like all superb games it is not zero-sum — there is a way for one player to win without another player having to lose. As I mentioned previously the upward spiral of win-win-win is achieved by being valuable and serving others.

So maybe you have identified your value and you headed off to serve people and got stuck in “paralysis by analysis”.

Who should I serve? How do I find them? Which of my valuables will serve them? What if they don’t know they need to be served?

Or better yet, you took the first step and picked somewhere to start from and “failed” to reach your goal (you did set a goal, didn’t you?!). Then once you had “failed” you decided it wasn’t such a good idea any way and you’d be better off sulking in the corner with Eeyore.

For those stuck at the first step some blunt advice (that I give myself often): Get over yourself and get moving. The only reason you haven’t acted yet is that you are afraid of looking like a fool. Or afraid of getting stuck at the next step. Or afraid it might work too well! The first is easy: the only people who matter in your life already know you aren’t perfect and are still with you — now get started!

And what about those sulking with Eeyore for “failing” (or afraid they’ll “fail” so badly that even Eeyore won’t like them). The key here is a little word magic. Richard Bandler was the first person I heard make the distinction between “failing” and feedback. Everything is potential feedback if you are paying attention and doing something with the new information. The only way to fail is to give yourself a time limit or otherwise artificially constrain your resources.

This is not “if at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you!”
This is “if at first you don’t succeed, duh!”

How many things worth doing have you done perfectly the first time and every time? (Or perfectly any time?!) Everyone I know learned by “failing” many, many times before they “succeeded”. (Dr Martin has a nice mind bender that questions “success” if there is no such thing as “failure”.)

Okay, so here is the step by step method:

Identify your value.
Pick a goal.
Do something relevant.
Observe what happens.
Did it get you closer to your goal?
Yes! Keep going.
No. Go back to and do a different something relevant.
Did you reach your goal?
Yes! Go back to and notice your new value, then pick a new goal.
No. Go back to and do more of the things that got you closer to your goal.
Notice that there is no way out of this sequence. That is because winning is a process goal not an outcome goal.

TCP/IP

whai is IP Address?


IP Tutorial - IP Address Notation
Learn how to recognize several different types of IP addresses, including private, reserved and invalid ones.
What Is an IP Address Conflict?
An IP address conflict occurs when two computers on a local network (or the Internet) have been assigned the same IP address. IP conflicts between two computers normally render either one or both of them unusable for network operations.
What is a Subnet?
A subnet is a logical grouping of connected network devices. When a subnet is properly implemented, both the performance and security of networks can be improved.
IP Tutorial - Network Numbering

Network numbers look like IP addresses but function differently. Find out how IP networks get numbered and what purpose these numbers serve.
IP Tutorial - Subnetting
Subnets allow IP networks to be subdivided for security and performance purposes. This tutorial explains how subnetting works and provides examples of subnets in practice.

Net working.

Routers
-------

All wireless Internet routers might appear very much alike at first glance. In fact, many different wireless router models exist each with its own uniqueset of attributes. Use the checklist below to help decide which brand of wireless network router could work best for you.
Speed Ratings
Wireless routers typically advertise their speed in megabits per second (Mbps). Older Wi-Fi models offered 11 Mbps, mid-range 802.11g routers 54 Mbps and the latest Draft N routers claim up to 300 Mbps. You may be tempted to only look at those routers with the highest Mbps rating. However, consider that the actual performance you will achieve in practice typically averages much, much lower than the maximum rating shown on the package. Furthermore, even high speed routers cannot directly speed up your Internet connection. The extra speed boost from a faster router may not be worth the extra cost.

Rock climbing

Rock climbing
---------------
Rock climbing, broadly speaking, is the act of ascending steep rock formations. Normally, climbers use gear and safety equipment's specifically designed for the purpose. Strength, endurance, and mental control are required to cope with tough, dangerous physical challenges, and knowledge of climbing techniques and the use of essential pieces of gear and equipment are crucial. Although much rock climbing is done outdoors nowadays many cities are home to indoor rock climbing gyms which can be formatted to match the skill level needed for outdoor climbing.

Rappelling :

Rappelling is the practice of sliding down a rope to descend a rock face. The technique was developed by climbers, but has turned into a sport of its own. Rappellers have descended some of the largest rock faces in the world using ropes up to 3,000 feet in length and weighing over 600 Lbs!

Commando Bridge :

In addition there would be internal talks and discussing on the importance of mountains the effect of our development policies on the hills and other basic natural elements.


River Crossing :

River crossing is a very handy method which is used to cross the rivers in jungles. In this activity a rope is tied over the river with the rocks on both the sides of the river. In this way the whole team can cross the river. This method requires a lot of physical input from the person.

Burma Bridge :

A Burma Bridge is essentially an expensive Teo Lines Bridge. The Burma Bridge requires more material and time to construct and therefore costs more than other similar high ropes course elements. The cosmetic and characteristic herring bone-cross ropes connecting the three parallel Burma Bridge cables to gather, are highly visible and desired by people who like that raiders-of-the-lost-ark look. These cross ropes are practically non-functional and cause time-consuming belay hassles if someone falls or decides to belayed down in the middle of the event

Tarzan Swing :

Tarzan Swing is jumping with the help of rope from one side to another. It is used in jungle to cross a pit. A rope is tied with a branch of a tree and then this activity is carried out. It is advisable to use strong ropes while doing this activity. This activity is related to physical and mental development.

Horse Riding :

Horse riding is one of the most conventional recreational uses of the alpine and sub-alpine environments. Monitoring was initiated in an established commercial horse riding area immediately adjacent to the World Heritage Area to measure the impacts of high level horse usage on the soils and vegetation. In rainforest, the amount of soil lost from the sites is less significant (35 cm of soil per 1 meter width of track), as the soil is churned and redistributed along the trampled and unstable track. Once tracks deteriorated into a quagmire in moorland, new tracks were established with several new braids occurring. The results clearly show that current levels of commercial horse riding cannot be sustained without track hardening.


HIKING EQUIPMENT

Hiking equipment is gear or equipment that one takes along on an outdoors hiking trip. While hiking is considered different from backpacking (overnight camping), the equipment is of necessity of a shorter term more practical nature for such a walk. However even for a day trip it is prudent to pack at least rudimentary solutions for eventualities that may arise including being forced to stay the night, getting lost, or accidents.

Hiking equipment may be considered in several categories

* Items Worn - Things that a hiker wears on the hiking trip. This may include footwear, clothing, head gear, etc.
* Carrying Items - Backpacks, waist packs, walking sticks or staffs, etc.
* Essential gear - Items that are essential for the hike safety or necessary in potential emergency situations.
* Food and drink - Food items to consume as snacks, lunch, or in emergencies.
* Optional Items - Any other items that the hiker desires to bring along including seating pads, chairs, notebooks, hammocks, and sometimes even computers.

Weight and bulk limit the amount of equipment that one can carry (particularly if one follows the principle of Leave No Trace and does not discard items on the trail). Criteria for packing an item include weight, bulk (size), number of alternative uses and the chances of each of those uses becoming apparent, weighed against the importance. For example, a whistle may seem unlikely to become necessary, but can be real life saver when it does and weighs next to nothing. Other items, like a sleeping bag, can also be important but can also be very restricting, so a simpler alternative like an extra layer of clothing might be a better idea.

First of all, one needs something to carry the equipment in. This can be simple fisherman's jacket or a day pack for short hikes, or a full backpack.
