Every festival time fixed by ANCESTORS by watching chances of Nature's aggressive behaviour by experience so that all the members of family get together and face the complex CONDITIONS . Many stories to DEVELOPED too by TALENTED elders so that both literate and illiterates gets interest too. The scientific confirmation was insisted in those days and lived happily and if nothing happens then double enjoyment. The tradition too disturbed by CONTINUOUS wars in British rule but smart & intellectual like Bal Gangadhar Thilak jee Lokmanya too restarted the festive mood and rightly used to discuss issues for freedom fight . Group discussions are best for all purpose of planning in PUBLIC interest

Greetings to all, Nowadays we face heavy rain in most of the places in our country. Especially during festivals, rains will be much more. At the same time many people who suffer from flood will be questioning the presence of God during festival and may forget the real story of Udupi Krishna's Kanakana kindi. Ultimate goal or aim of any festival is "Sarve Jana Sukhinobhavantu" that is "All people must live happily in a healthy way". This means "Helping others is helping ourselves". Today we see many Ganesha Idols. We do nice prayers and at the end as a part of ritual, we would dip the idol in a water source. This can be river, Lake or ponds. But the silt in river, Lake or ponds are not removed on regular basis and this will result as a heavy flood during heavy rains. So, it would be best to dip Ganesha Idol in a bucket of water and make use of holy remains for growing medicinal plants. This will act as a boon. Need to take this occasion to alert right authorities to clean water source

Few changes in ways to Celebrate the Festivals can help India grow in following ways 1.During festivals, instead of buying materials like lanterns, diya's, brooms,etc in Diwali, pichkari in Holi, and such other things from Malls, we can buy them from local stores Once we start buying from local stores or from roadside just by thinking that "They also have right to celebrate festival as I do", it will instantly give boost to 'MAKE IN INDIA' Movement and also gap between 'haves' and 'have -nots' will slowly and gradually go on reducing 2.This will lower the consumption of Chinese goods in India, which helps to make Indian market stronger and weaken chinese markets 3.Once Indian goods acquire the market, exports will also start increasing which helps in growth of GDP NOTE: DUE TO INCREASE IN GLOBAL WARMING AND OTHER EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENT, LESS FIRECRACKERS SHOULD BE BURNT OR ECO-FRIENDLY CRACKERS SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID AND REDUCE POLLUTION JAI HIND🇮🇳🇮🇳

Greetings to all, Our elders have told 2 main points. 1st point is to not to see the source of water. 2nd point is to take a dip at a water point where 3 rivers join. I feel both points are IDIOMS. Here our elders try to say that we need to keep ourselves clean and healthy by using clean water. It need not have to be Ganga, Cauvery, Godavari or Yamuna. Because they have told not to see the source. It's necessary to take a healthy water bath on daily basis to keep diseases at bay. The task may seem to be difficult like taking a dip in water point where 3 rivers join. But doesn't mean that we need to practically take a dip in a water point where 3 rivers join. Because if everyone feels that we need to practically take a dip in water point where 3 rivers meet. Then, there will be stampedes which can cause our death or our immediate neighbours death. Moreover water which evaporates from Ganga River forms as a cloud and rains everywhere. So need to understand IDIOMS from elders carefully ☺️

Respected Sir Nowadays, it is seen that many people dont even know why the festival are celebrated, which is bitter truth. They just celebrate because it is celebrated every year and has become a practice, without even knowing the importance of festival or history behind its celebration. Many festivals are just like holidays for them. Even INDEPENDENCE DAY and REPUBLIC DAY are also seen as NATIONAL HOLIDAY, which is sad reality. The importance of festivals should be taught to students from school life itself. They should be encouraged to celebrate all festivals enthusiastically, but before, knowledge of basic things like why to celebrate, who started celebration, etc should be given Value of Republic Day, Independence Day, etc should be imbibed in their heart Different festivals should be celebrated together forgetting caste and religion boundaries, which will help to reduce hatredness towards one another's religion Jai Hind🇮🇳🇮🇳

Hemant Soren is under investigation. Rightly so. The strictest punishment shall be meted out in accordance with the law. India under the new political dispensation is ruthless against corruption. Raghuvir Das (ex CM) shall be investigated too! He is no less, maybe even more, tainted than the current CM! So should be the bureaucracy that was serving his administration. The truest test of governance now lie in unbiased tough actions against the corrupt - irrespective of their political affiliations.

Spread knowledge about the importance of the festival and history behind it. Relate the festival steps to their own Benifit.

The temples & religious monuments are kept in Lekhpal or govt. records. The ancient monument and archaeological sites and remains act 1958 protects the heritage sites. The constitution of India guarantees protection to minority affairs and indigenous culture. India is one of the most pluralistic and diverse country of the India. It is proposed to have a database of religious assets and monuments with legal status to prevent conflicts in future. The funding used other than specified purposes should be examined. U.P. govt. is making a database of temples. International universities collaboration eg. Nalanda university, universities in North-East India and China will improve cohesion of people. However, these regions should have a comprehensive water or river policy. The train and connectivity in north east should be improved at a rapid scale. Keep a check on corruption and casteism of AIS and staff at centre, state and all levels. Put information of their assets in public domains.

Some countries like Nepal have transitioned to democracy from Hindu based kingdom. World Hindu Congress or World Chitragupta Congress should be apolitical, inclusive, transparent, social, cultural and charitable bodies to decrease the rich/poor divide, decrease privileges and promote literacy, communal harmony and humanity at global level. International migration and various aspects of culture like Kayastha from Persia have been tried to be documented in literature. Ramayana circuit is approved in India for economic and tourism purposes by Indian railways. Similarly, Chitragupta circuit is proposed connecting Brahma temple (Pushkar, Rajasthan), Shiva temple (Gram Sahari, Barabanki, near Ayodhya-Delhi road, Uttar Pradesh), Khajuraho (Madhya Pradesh), Kancheepuram (Tamil Nadu). Show north east, naxal areas and kashmir and different states festival, cuture, heritage in IIT, NIT, JNU, NLU and other colleges/schools. Promote vedic maths in schools. Target young for unity of India.
