Ganesha; Sanskrit: à¤—णेश, GaṇeÅ›a; About this sound listen (help·info)), also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon.[2] His image is found throughout India, Sri Lanka and Nepal.[3] Hindu sects worship him regardless of affiliations.[4] Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists.[5]
Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.[6] Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles,[7] the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom.[8] As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions.[9][10] Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.
Ganesha emerged as a distinct deity in the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta Period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors.[11] He was formally included among the five primary deities of Smartism (a Hindu denomination) in the 9th century. A sect of devotees called the Ganapatya arose, who identified Ganesha as the supreme deity.[12] The principal scriptures dedicated to Ganesha are the Ganesha Puran, the Mudgala Purana, and the Ganapati Atharvashirsa.

AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP~!!! We all know what happened with the tyrannical leader ‘Saddam Hussein’. He was a big terrorist just like 'Kasab Menon' who attacked the Indians. The hanging of Saddam Hussein ended the life of one of the most brutal tyrants in recent history and negated the fiction that he himself maintained even as the gallows loomed. As you sow, so shall you reap. “As you sow, so shall you reap”, this is a great known proverb to everyone in today’s life. This proverb has great significance in everyday life. It means as the action is, so is the result. Man is responsible for the effect of his actions. It means you get good or bad fruit according to your good or bad deed. If the action is based on goodness, it will churn out only goodness in the long run. If the action has been evil, the outcome also tends to be evil.     I have given you a negative example in the starting. Now, let me give you a positive example of Great King of Thailand:-...

The Ongoing Debate: Gasoline Cars vs. Electric Cars

Image
The automotive industry has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade, with electric cars gaining popularity as a more environmentally friendly and technologically advanced alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. In this blog, we'll dive into some of the reasons why gasoline cars still have their merits in comparison to electric cars. 1. Infrastructure and Convenience Gasoline cars have a well-established infrastructure that supports their refuelling needs. Gas stations are abundant and can be found virtually everywhere, making long trips and cross-country travel more convenient. In contrast, electric cars might require careful planning to ensure the availability of charging stations along the desired route. Additionally, the refuelling process for gasoline cars is quick and familiar to most drivers, while charging an electric car can take significantly longer, depending on the charging station's power output. 2. Affordability and Second-hand Mar...

Expansion on 'Make hay while the sun shines' :-)

MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES~!!! The work of a farmer depends almost entirely on the weather which is an uncertain factor; and he has accordingly, bright sun shine. So the farmer has to be on the alert to get his hay in, while the weather is favorable, lest it should be ruined by rain and mist. In an extended sense, the difficulties of farmers are like the difficulties of all people, no matter what their walks of life (maybe). Like the weather, life and health are uncertain; opportunities rarely occur and never repeat themselves. When an opportunity offers itself, man must seize it and use it to the best advantage. Otherwise he gets ruined like the negligent farmer whose hay is destroyed by a change in the weather. The man who takes things easy, postpones till tomorrow what he should do to-day, suffers heavily like the one who does not strike while the iron is hot. It is therefore necessary to make use of favorable opportunity. While we have health and the means, against a...
