CoBRAs : Be Aware of the PURIFYING POISON! (Blog Series- 1, Ep.- 6)

CoBRAs

Even before I start giving you info about this deadly commandos let me justify the title, you all will be for sure wondering what poison has to do with these great heroes and why to associate a term like these with the CoBRAs. Now as we all are aware about the venomous snake the "cobra", they use their deadly poison to protect themselves or to finish off their enemies but the "CoBRAs" use their poison to protect the nation from infiltrators, militants and mainly the supreme form of traitors the Naxalites... So the power and ability of CoBRAs is indeed a PURIFYING POISON!!!

Malvan: An Indelible Trip!

Image
It was December 2022 when we, a group of five friends decided to go to a trip at my native place. It was quite successful but not quite far from our homes. Then in June 2023 we decided to go a little far and for real ended up going to Shirdi which is almost 291 km. It was a one night trip rather a pilgrimage wherein we spent the night in our sleeper train itself while returning. Then, since our trips were succeeding by the grace of supreme, we decided to plan a larger one for the next time and guess what!? We didn't only plan it but also have now executed it and now we are lost in the nostalgia of that trip. Since happiness increases by sharing, I decided to share our experiences with you, hope you enjoy. Happy reading ahead. Umm, I very well remember we had our "Periodic Test II" in the month of October 2023 from 9th to 12th October and since the syllabus of all the subjects had been declared over by then, for 13th of October weirdest of weird time table had been issued,

Bhavsagar: The Cosmic Ocean!!!

"Kewat re kewat badi bhagi teri naiyya...   Aaj teri nayya mein biraje, bhavsagar ke khivaiyaa!! " Kewat, a professional who owns boats and helps people cross rivers, played a significant role in the story of Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshman during their period of vanvaas (exile). They needed to cross the holy river Ganga, which was wide and deep, making it impossible to cross on foot. Sri Ram, accompanied by the king of Nishads, Sri Nishadraj, called upon the kewat to serve them. During the reign of Ramayana, all the people on Earth were incarnations of various gods who had come to serve Lord Vishnu in the form of Rama. However, Sri Ram himself was unaware that he was Lord Vishnu (Parameshwar). The kewat, eager to wash and touch the holy feet of the supreme with Ganga Jal (water from the Ganga), started arguing with Sri Ram. He explained that Sri Ram's feet were miraculous, as he had stepped on a stone which got converted into an Apsara had emerged. The kewat

Lord Vitthala!

Lord Vitthala Who is Lord Vitthala? This question may come in minds of those people who are not very well aware about the sant and varkari  tradition of the Indian State of Maharashtra. Let me come straight to the point, Lord Vitthal is another form of Lord Krishna like jagganath, Banke Bihari, etc. The Specialty of Lord Vitthala's temple in Maharashtra? The temple of Lord Vitthala is in Pandharpur in Maharashtra and as per the devotees and the great saints the idol in the temple is Swayambhu meaning self incarnated.  The History of the Swayambhu idol! During the end of dwapar yuga,  there lived a man called Pundalik. He wanted to attain moksha and had decided to leave for kashi so that he could become free from the continuous cycle of birth and death ( moksha *) and while going to Kashi from Pandharpur he decided to rest at Maharishi Kutkut's Ashram.  He asked Maharishi Kutkut the way to Kashi to which the great sage replied that he didn't know the route as he had neve
