अश्विन वद्य द्वादशी | नक्षत्र मृगराज परियेसी || श्रीगुरु बैसले निजानंदेसी | अदृश्य झाले गंगेत || अश्विन कृष्ण द्वादशी अर्थात गुरुद्वादशी हा दत्तसंप्रदायातील अत्यंत पवित्र दिवस मानला जातो. या दिवशी गुरुचरणांचे पूजन करून गुरु-शिष्य परंपरेप्रती कृतज्ञता व्यक्त केली जाते. गुरूंच्या मार्गदर्शनाने अज्ञान दूर करून आध्यात्मिक प्रगती साधावी हा या दिवसाचा मुख्य संदेश आहे. श्रीपाद श्रीवल्लभ हे श्रीदत्तात्रेयांचे प्रथम अवतार मानले जातात. त्यांचा जन्म आंध्र प्रदेशातील पीठापूरम येथे आप्पलराज शर्मा आणि सुमतीदेवी यांच्या पोटी गणेश चतुर्थीला झाला. पितृश्राद्धाच्या वेळी आलेल्या अतिथीला सुमतीदेवींनी भोजन दिल्याने प्रसन्न होऊन श्रीदत्तात्रेयांनी त्यांना पुत्रप्राप्तीचा आशीर्वाद दिला होता. बालपणापासूनच श्रीपाद विलक्षण बुद्धिमान व आध्यात्मिक प्रवृत्तीचे होते. त्यांनी अल्पवयात वेदशास्त्रांचे ज्ञान प्राप्त केले आणि आपल्या दिव्य कृपेने भावंडांना सक्षम केले. वयाच्या सोळाव्या वर्षी त्यांनी गृहस्थाश्रम स्वीकारण्यास नकार देऊन संन्यासमार्गाचा स्वीकार केला. माता-पित्यांना आशीर्वाद देऊन ते तीर्थयात्रेसाठी निघाले. त्यांनी अनेक ठिकाणी भ्रमण करून भक्तांना मार्गदर्शन केले. त्यांनी पीठापूरम येथे सोळा वर्षे वास्तव्य केले आणि पुढे कुरवपूर येथे साधना व अवतारकार्य केले. श्रीपाद श्रीवल्लभांनी भक्तांना भक्ती, ज्ञान, वैराग्य आणि सदाचाराचा मार्ग दाखवला. अतिथिसेवा, अन्नदान, मातापित्यांचा आदर, गुरुभक्ती, दीनदुबळ्यांना मदत आणि अहंकाराचा त्याग यांना त्यांनी महत्त्व दिले. भक्तांच्या दुःखांचे निवारण, संकटातून मुक्तता आणि भक्तांना आध्यात्मिक मार्गदर्शन अशा अनेक लीला श्रीगुरुचरित्रात वर्णिल्या आहेत. श्रीपाद श्रीवल्लभांनी कुरवपूर येथे आपले अवतारकार्य पूर्ण केले. अश्विन कृष्ण द्वादशी मृग नक्षत्राच्या दिवशी त्यांनी कृष्णा नदीच्या प्रवाहात निजानंद गमन केले. श्रीगुरुचरित्राच्या नवव्या अध्यायात या प्रसंगाचे वर्णन येते. ते लौकिकदृष्ट्या अदृश्य झाले असले तरी कुरवपूर येथे त्यांचे वास्तव्य कायम आहे अशी श्रद्धा आहे. पीठापूरम, कुरवपूर, गाणगापूर आणि इतर दत्तक्षेत्रांमध्ये या दिवशी विशेष पूजाअर्चा केली जाते. गुरुद्वादशीचे महत्त्व पुढे दत्तसंप्रदायातील संतपरंपरेतही जपले गेले. प. पू. वासुदेवानंद सरस्वती टेंबेस्वामी महाराज यांनी नरसोबावाडी येथे मुक्काम असताना प. पू. योगीराज गुळवणी महाराजांना गुरुद्वादशीच्या दिवशी चांदीच्या पेटीत ठेवलेले यंत्र-संरक्षक कवच बांधून दिले. या गुरुकृपेची आठवण कायम राहावी म्हणून गुळवणी महाराजांनी प्रत्येक गुरुद्वादशीला नरसोबावाडी येथे येण्याचा संकल्प केला. त्यांनी हा संकल्प अखंड पाळला. या दिवशी माता-भगिनी प्रथम देवाला ओवाळतात आणि त्यानंतर गुळवणी महाराजांचे औक्षण करतात. महाराज प्रत्येक सुवासिनीला एक रुपया ओवाळणी देत असत. एका गुरुद्वादशीला सुमारे पाचशे सुवासिनींनी त्यांचे औक्षण केले आणि त्यासाठी पाचशे रुपये ओवाळणी दिली. गुरुद्वादशी हा दिवस गुरु-शिष्य परंपरेचे महत्त्व अधोरेखित करतो. गुरूंचे पूजन करणे म्हणजे केवळ विधी करणे नव्हे तर त्यांच्या शिकवणीचे आचरण करणे होय. सदाचार, सेवाभाव, अन्नदान, दया, नम्रता, मातापित्यांचा आदर आणि ईश्वरस्मरण या मूल्यांचा स्वीकार करणे हाच गुरुभक्तीचा खरा अर्थ आहे. #गुरुद्वादशी #श्रीपाद_श्रीवल्लभ #श्रीगुरुदेवदत्त

Defence Officials gave detailed answered related to Agnipath Scheme. Q1. Are all Agniveers going to be absorbed after six years? Ans: Yes, all Agniveers will now be absorbed in the regular cadre. The first 25% will be absorbed after the first engagement period of four years, and all of the balance 75% will be absorbed (without any limit) after the second engagement period. The key criteria are that the Agniveer must be willing, physically fit and disciplined. Q2. What happens to the seniority of the 75% Agniveers who are not permanently absorbed after four years? Ans: Their seniority is protected. On becoming regulars, they will be placed immediately after their own batchmates who joined the regular cadre after four years. They will therefore not become junior to any subsequent batch. Q3. Has the scheme been rolled back? Ans: The scheme has not been rolled back. Only another engagement period of two years has been introduced, which creates a pathway for all Agniveers to be absorbed as regular soldiers after this engagement period.

You can't name a folder "con" on a Windows computer. Go try it right now, Windows will flat out refuse and tell you the device name is invalid. That's because your PC still has that word reserved for a keyboard and screen from 1981. And it's the same reason your main drive is called C: instead of A:. So here's how it happened. A: and B: were the floppy drives, and plenty of early IBM PCs only had one of them. DOS assumed you had two anyway. If you asked a one-drive machine for B:, it would pretend the same slot was a second drive and stop to tell you "Insert diskette for drive B: and strike any key when ready." If you were around back then, you probably remember swapping the same two disks in and out for an hour just to copy a few files. Then IBM put a 10MB hard drive inside the PC XT in March 1983. A and B were already spoken for, so the hard drive got the next letter in line. Every installer for the next 40 years hardcoded C:\ into its file paths, and after that the letter was never moving. That same update, DOS 2.0, is why Windows uses backslashes. IBM's tools were already using the regular slash for command options, so folders got \ instead. It's the whole reason websites use / and your Windows folders use \. The "con" thing goes back even further. DOS 1.0 didn't have folders at all, so you talked to hardware like it was a file. CON was the console, PRN was the printer, AUX was the serial port, and NUL was a black hole that ate whatever you sent it. Microsoft's own Raymond Chen traces the rule straight back to DOS 1.0, and Windows still enforces it so programs written 45 years ago don't break. Almost all of this traces back to one guy in Monterey, California. Gary Kildall started writing CP/M in 1974 while he was teaching at the Naval Postgraduate School, and it became the first popular operating system for small computers. He's the one who labeled drives with a letter and a colon, and he let programs talk to devices like they were files, habits he'd picked up from the big mainframes and minicomputers he'd worked on. In 1980, IBM came looking for an operating system for its new PC, and the talks with Kildall's company fell apart. So Microsoft went to Seattle Computer Products, where a programmer named Tim Paterson had spent four months writing a CP/M lookalike he called QDOS, short for Quick and Dirty Operating System. Microsoft paid $75,000 total for it, the last $50,000 just 16 days before the IBM PC launched. Kildall's letters came along for the ride. He sold his company to Novell in 1991 and died three years later at 52. Every time somebody clicks on C: in File Explorer, they're using the letter he picked for a third disk drive back in the '70s. That's 1.6 billion Windows machines, and almost nobody using them has ever heard his name.
Can I ask a DUMB tech question? Why is the Windows main drive called C:? What happened to A: and B:?

Let me ask you… If India’s Metro network had continued expanding at the pace it did before 2014, how long would the wait be for cities like Pune to have a metro? YEARS….no…DECADES perhaps. And that was UNACCEPTABLE. In 2014, India had just 248 km of Metro lines across 5 cities. Today, we have nearly 1,200 km across 26 cities. Over 1 crore people travel by Metro every day. The impact goes beyond statistics or numbers. It means less time in traffic, more family time, greater productivity and better opportunities. This is the transformation we are working towards for urban India!
What makes Pune Metro's new Pink Line so special? 23 km connecting Hinjewadi's IT hub with Shivajinagar. Operated by women. Almost a third of the electricity needs planned from solar energy. Tomorrow, this Rs. 8,300 crore infra enhancement will be inaugurated! A significant boost to 'Ease of Living' for Pune! pib.gov.in/PressReleaseDetai…

Repeating my request - Start long lease for individual doctors to have clinics in Pune Metro stations. Do NOT sell that space to corporate healthcare. Start at-least one Jan-aushadhi shop in these medical hubs. Metro stations are convenient and accessible to people on wheelchairs too. Make them into diverse medical hubs. Bring community spirit back in our communities. @PMOIndia @CMOMaharashtra @mohol_murlidhar @Medha_kulkarni @SidShirole

Great idea this
The economics segment of the recently introduced NCERT textbooks for Social Science (Grade 9, Part 2) now has a chapter on personal finance. Students are taught basics about fixed deposits, mutual funds, EMI, taxes, risk-return and so on. The idea is to provide them with useful life skills. 1/2

If elders like to read - a kindle so they can increase the font size and read easily. Husband - lots of love and time spent together without phones. Wife - lots of love and time spent together without phones Teenagers - get them involved in decorating the house, lighting the diyas, putting up lights. Make something together Children under 10 years - Indian board games, Chinmaya publication books.
What’s the best gift on Diwali that you can think of for the following: 1. Elders in the family 2. Husband 3. Wife 4. Teenagers 5. Children below 10 years Suggest gifts keeping Deepawali as the parva and not the commercial aspect.

On the ‘Balidan Diwas’ of Major Somnath Sharma, PVC, India's first Param Vir Chakra awardee, I pay my solemn tributes to his extraordinary courage and supreme sacrifice. On 3 November 1947, at the Battle of Badgam, he stood firm against overwhelming odds, displaying exceptional valour and leadership in defending Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir, an integral part of India. His courage, unwavering devotion to duty and supreme sacrifice embody the finest traditions of the Indian Army - Service Before Self, Courage in Adversity and Duty Above All. His legacy will forever inspire generations of soldiers and every Indian.
