Curious about the Tilaka of a Hindu student.
  • You mentioned that they are from Gujarat and are wearing U shaped tilak. I assume they are following Swaminaryan Sect of Hinduism. You can find more info on this here https://www.baps.org/

    For Hinduism you can start by reading publications of Gita Press https://www.gitapress.org/

    Hope this helps.

    Basic Shell Scripting Tutorial

    In this tutorial, we will learn how to write basic shell scripts using Markdown. Shell scripting allows us to automate tasks and execute commands in a sequential manner. Markdown is a lightweight markup language that provides an easy way to write formatted documentation.

    Table of Contents

    Getting Started

    Before we begin, make sure you have a shell environment available on your machine. Common shell environments include Bash, Zsh, and PowerShell.

    Creating a Shell Script

    1. Open a text editor and create a new file. Give it a meaningful name, such as myscript.sh.
    2. Add the following shebang at the top of the file to specify the shell to be used: bash #!/bin/bash Make sure to replace bash with the appropriate shell if you're using a different one.
    3. Now you can start writing your shell script using Markdown syntax. You can include headers, lists, code blocks, and other formatting elements as needed.
    4. Save the file when you're done.

    Here's an example of a simple shell script written in Markdown:

    ```markdown

    My First Shell Script

    This is my first shell script written in Markdown.

    Script

    ```bash #!/bin/bash

    echo "Hello, World!"

    Running a Shell Script

    To execute a shell script, you need to make it executable first. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where your script is located. Then run the following command:

    bash chmod +x myscript.sh

    Replace myscript.sh with the name of your script.

    To run the script, use the following command:

    bash ./myscript.sh

    Replace myscript.sh with the name of your script.

    Variables

    Variables in shell scripts are used to store data and manipulate values. Here's an example of defining and using a variable in Markdown:

    ```markdown

    Variables

    To define a variable, use the following syntax:

    bash variable_name=value

    For example:

    bash name="John"

    To use the variable, prefix it with a dollar sign ($):

    bash echo "Hello, $name!" ```

    User Input

    Shell scripts can interact with the user by reading input from the keyboard. Here's an example of reading user input and using it in a script:

    ```markdown

    User Input

    To read user input, use the read command followed by the variable name:

    bash read -p "Enter your name: " name

    The user's input will be stored in the name variable. You can then use it in your script:

    bash echo "Hello, $name!" ```

    Conditional Statements

    Conditional statements allow you to execute different code blocks based on certain conditions. Here's an example of an if statement in Markdown:

    ```markdown

    Conditional Statements

    To use conditional statements, you can use the if statement followed by the condition and the code block:

    bash if [ condition ]; then # code to execute if the condition is true else # code to execute if the condition is false fi

    For example:

    ```bash if [ $age -ge 18 ]; then

    echo "You are an adult." else echo "You are a minor." fi

    Loops

    Loops allow you to repeat a block of code multiple times. Here's an example of a for loop in Markdown:

    ```markdown

    Loops

    To use loops, you can use the for loop followed by the variable, the list of values, and the code block:

    bash for variable in list; do # code to execute for each value done

    For example:

    bash for fruit in apple banana cherry; do echo "I like $fruit" done ```

    Functions

    Functions allow you to define reusable blocks of code. Here's an example of defining and using a function in Markdown:

    ```markdown

    Functions

    To define a function, use the following syntax:

    bash function_name() { # code to execute }

    For example:

    bash greet() { echo "Hello, $1!" }

    To call a function, use its name followed by any arguments:

    bash greet "John" ```

    Conclusion

    Congratulations! You've learned how to write basic shell scripts using Markdown. Shell scripting is a powerful way to automate tasks and improve your productivity. Explore more advanced features and commands to create more complex scripts. Happy scripting!

  • Life & Teachings of `Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa`
  • Teachings and Influence on Society

    Sri Ramakrishna was probably the most celebrated mystic of all times. A simple man, sometimes with childlike enthusiasm, he explained the most complex concepts of spiritual philosophies in most simple parables, stories and anecdotes. His words flowed from a deep sense of belief in the Divinity and his experience of embracing God in a very real form. He directed that the ultimate goal of every living soul is God-realization. Having practiced different facets of Hinduism as well of other religions like Islam and Christianity, he preached that all of these religions were different paths that lead up to a single goal – God. His conversations with his disciples were recorded by his devotee Mahendranath Gupta and the collective work was titled as Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita (The Nectar of Sri Ramakrishna's Words). To get rid of the thought that he belonged to a higher Brahmanical caste, he began to eat food cooked by the shudras or lower-caste.

    His influence reached all strata of the society; he did not differentiate between devotees based on caste. He even embraced the sceptics, won them over with his simplistic charm and unselfish love. He was a force of revival to re-energise the decaying Hinduism in nineteenth century Bengal. His teachings also had profound effect on other religions like the Brahmoism that were forced to re-evaluate their beliefs.

    Notable Disciples

    Foremost among his innumerable disciples was Swami Vivekananda, who was instrumental in establishing the philosophy of Ramakrishna at a global stage. Vivekananda established the Ramakrishna Mission in 1897 to carry out the visions of his Guru Ramakrishna and dedicated the establishment in servitude of the society.

    Other disciples who renounced all ties to family life and participated in the formation of Ramakrishna Math along with Vivekananda were Kaliprasad Chandra (Swami Abhedananda), Sashibhushan Chakravarty (Swami Ramakrishnananda), Rakhal Chandra Ghosh (Swami Brahmananda), Sarat Chandra Chakravarty (Swami Saradananda) among others. All of them were instrumental in propagating the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna not just in India, but throughout the world and carred forward his vision of Seva.

    Apart from his direct disciples, Ramakrishna had profound effect on Sri Keshab Chandra Sen, an influential Brahmo Samaj leader. Ramakrishna’s teaching and his company led Keshab Chandra Sen to reject the rigidity of Brahmo ideals that he initially was attached to. He recognised polytheism and heralded the Naba Bidhan movement within the Brahmo order. He propagated Ramakrishna’s teachings in his Naba Bidhan periodicals and was responsible for popularisation of the mystic among the elites of the contemporary Bengali society.

    Among the other noted disciples of Ramakrishna were Mahendranath Gupta (a devotee who followed Ramakrishna despite being a family man), Girish Chandra Ghosh (noted poet, playwright, theatre director and actor), Mahendra Lal Sarkar (one of the most successful Homeopath doctors of the nineteenth century) and Akshay Kumar Sen (a mystic and saint).

    Death

    In 1885 Ramakrishna suffered from throat cancer. In order to consult the best physicians of Calcutta, Ramakrishna was shifted to a devotee’s house in Shyampukur by his disciples. But with time, his health started deteriorating and he was taken to a large house at Cossipore. His condition kept worsening and on 16 August, 1886, he passed away at the Cossipore garden house.

    One of the most prominent religious figures of India during the nineteenth century, Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa was a mystic and a yogi who translated complex spiritual concepts into lucid and easily intelligible manner. Born in a simple Bengali rural family in 1836, Ramakrishna was as simple yogi. He pursued the Divine throughout his life in various forms and believed in divine embodiment of the Supreme Being in every individual. Sometimes believed to be the modern day reincarnation of Lord Vishnu, Ramakrishna was the embodiment of spiritual salvation to troubled souls from all walks of life. He was a key figure in revival of Hinduism in Bengal at a time when intense spiritual crisis was gripping the province leading to predominance of young Bengalis embracing Brahmoism and Christianity. His legacy did not end with his death in 1886; his most prominent disciple Swami Vivekananda carried on his teachings and philosophy to the world through Ramakrishna Mission. In essence, his teachings were as traditional as ancient sages and seer, yet he remains contemporary throughout the ages.

    Early Life

    Ramakrishna was born as Gadadhar Chattopadhyay on February 18, 1836 to Khudiram Chattopadhyay and Chandramani Devi. The poor Brahmin family hailed from the Kamarpukur village of Hoogly district in Bengal Presidency.

    Young Gadadhar was sent to the village school to learn Sanskrit, but a reluctant student he would often play truant. He loved to paint and create clay models of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. He was attracted to folk and mythological stories which he had heard from his mother. He gradually leant Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas and other holy literature by heart just by hearing it from priests and sages. Young Gadadhar loved the nature so much that he used to spend much of his time in orchards and on the river-banks.

    From a very young age, Gadadhar was religiously inclined and he would experience episodes of spiritual ecstasy from everyday incidents. He would go into trances while performing pujas or observing a religious drama.

    After the death of Gadadhar’s father in 1843, the responsibility of the family fell on his elder brother, Ramkumar. Ramkumar left home for Calcutta to earn for the family and Gadadhar, back in his village started performing regular worshipping of their family-deity, previously handled by his brother. He was deeply religious and would perform the pujas ardently. Meanwhile, his elder brother had opened a school to teach Sanskrit in Calcutta and served as a priest at different socio-religious functions.

    Ramakrishna was married to five-year old Saradamoni Mukhopadhyay from a neighbouring village when he was twenty three years of age in 1859. The couple stayed apart until Saradamoni came of age and she joined her husband at Dakshineshwar at the age of eighteen. Ramakrishna proclaimed her as the embodiment of Divine Mother and performed the Shodashi Puja with her in the seat of Goddess Kali. She was an ardent follower of her husband’s philosophies and took up the role of mother to his disciples with much ease.

    Arrival at Dakshineshwar and Induction into Priesthood

    The Kali temple at Dakshineshwar was established by the celebrated philanthropist Queen of Janbazar, Calcutta, Rani Rashmoni, during 1855. Since the Queen’s family belonged to the Kaibarta clan that was considered a lower caste by the Bengali society of the time, Rani Rashmoni was having immense difficulty in finding a priest for the temple. Rashmoni’s son-in-law, Mathurbabu came across Ramkumar in Calcutta and invited him to take the position of the head priest at the temple. Ramkumar obliged and sent for Gadadhar to join him at Dakshineshwar to assist him in the daily rituals. He arrived at Dakshineshwar and was entrusted with the duty of decorating the deity.

    Ramkumar died in 1856, leaving Ramakrishna to take over the position of the head priest at the temple. Thus began the long, celebrated journey of priesthood for Gadadhar. It is said that Mathurbabu, witnessing Gadadhar’s piousness and certain supernatural incidents, gave the name Ramakrishna to young Gadadhar.

    Religious Journey

    As a worshipper of Goddess Kali, Ramakrishna was considered a ‘Shakto’, but the technicalities did not limit him to worship the divine through other spiritual approaches. Ramakrishna was perhaps one of the very few yogis who had tried to experience divinity through a host of different avenues and have not stuck to one single way of spirituality. He schooled under a number of different Gurus and absorbed their philosophies with equal eagerness.

    He worshipped God Rama as Hanuman, Rama’s most devoted follower and even experienced vision of Sita merging with himself.

    He learned the nuances of ‘Tantra Sadhana’ or tantric ways from Bhairavi Brahmani, a female sage, during 1861-1863. Under her guidance Ramakrishna completed all 64 sadhanas of tantras, even the most intricate and demanding of them. He also learned Kundalini Yoga from Bhairavi.

    Ramakrishna next moved on to leaning the inner mechanics of the ‘Vaishnav’ faith, a faith starkly opposite in philosophy and practices to Shakto tantric practices. He learned under the tutelage of Guru Jatadhari during 1864. He practiced ‘Batshalya Bhava’, worshipping of God, specifically Lord Vishnu in a child image with the attitude of mother. He also practiced ‘Madhura Bhava’, the central concepts of Vaishav faith, synonymous with the love that Radha felt for Krishna. He visited Nadia and experienced a vision that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the founder of Vaishnav faith merging in his body.

    Ramakrishna was initiated into Sanyaas or formal life of an ascetic during 1865 from Monk Totapuri. Totatpuri guided Ramakrishna through the rituals of renunciation and instructed him the teachings of Advaita Vedanta, Hindu philosophies dealing with non-dualism of spirit, and importance of Brahman. It was now that Ramakrishna attained his highest spiritual realization.

    In the subsequent years, he undertook practicing of Islam, with observing all the rituals of the religion in a devout manner. He even experienced vision of a radiant white bearded man. His tryst with Christianity came much later, in 1873, when a devotee read The Bible to him and he got immersed in the thoughts of Christ. He had a vision of Madonna and Child and of Jesus himself.

    Gujarat High Court denies bail to ‘activist’ Teesta Setalvad in fabrication of evidence case, orders her to surrender immediately

    The Gujarat High Court ruling came with regard to the alleged fabrication of evidence and tutoring of witnesses in cases concerning the 2002 Gujarat riots.

    Gujarat HC rejects 'activist' Teesta Setalvad's regular bail plea (Image" Scroll)

    On Saturday, July 1, the Gujarat High Court rejected the regular bail application of ‘activist’ Teesta Setalvad and ordered her to “surrender immediately.” The Gujarat High Court ruling came with regard to the alleged fabrication of evidence and tutoring of witnesses in cases concerning the 2002 Gujarat riots.

    >- Live Law (@LiveLawIndia) July 1, 2023

    Setalvad has been shielded from arrest thus far by interim bail granted by the Supreme Court in September last year, after which she was released from judicial custody. Following this, she applied for regular bail at the Gujarat High Court, but the court denied the same.

    Senior Advocate Mihir Thakore appeared for Setalvad and requested the single bench of Justice Nirzar Desai to stay the verdict for 30 days. However, the court denied the request and ordered Setalvad to surrender before the police immediately.

    On June 21, Justice Desai concluded the hearing on her regular bail and reserved the order. During the hearing, the state government argued that Setalvad was a “tool of a politician” tasked with defaming and destabilising the then-state government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The State’s prosecution, represented by Public Prosecutor Mitesh Amin, highlighted her potential to tamper with evidence in the case related to the 2002 riots, as he strongly opposed her bail plea

    Referring to the deceased Congress leader Ahmed Patel, Mitesh Amin, also submitted before the court of Justice Nirzar Desai that Teesta Setalvad was a “tool in the hands of certain politicians of certain political party.”

    Mitesh Amin has also asserted that Setalvad had used two police officers, namely retired DGP RB Sreekumar and her co-accused former IPS Sanjiv Bhatt, as “tools” in order to “see (to it) that the existing establishment (in 2002, when Gujarat CM was Narendra Modi) is unseated, faces problems, and their image in the society is tarnished.”

    The arrest of Teesta Setalvad in fabricated evidence case linked to Gujarat Riots 2002

    Teesta Setalvad, the self-proclaimed ‘activist’ was arrested by the Gujarat ATS in June 2022 in a case of forgery, influencing witnesses, and the investigation of the Gujarat riots in 2002 that occurred in the aftermath of the Godhra Train burning incident, when 59 Hindus were burned to death after a Muslim mob set ablaze a Sabarmati Express bogey carrying passengers from Ayodhya. Teesta Setalvad is accused of coaching witnesses and making ridiculous accusations in several cases related to the Gujarat riots in 2002.

    The case against Setalvad was filed after the Supreme Court gave a clean chit to Prime Minister Modi in the 2002 Gujarat Riots case. Teesta was granted bail on September 2 by the Supreme Court.
