For rest I will google translate it.
After the incident, a video of the father of the deceased girl, seeking justice, went viral. After watching this video, Motihari SP Naveen Chandra Jha took action in the case and suspended the head of the police station on charges of negligence and started investigating the case.
In Motihari, Bihar, a minor girl was murdered 15 days ago after being raped. It is alleged that after this incident, the accused after forcibly applying pressure, burnt the body of the child by putting kerosene and salt. Not only this, an FIR was not even registered in the local police station for this matter for several days. The deceased and his family were residents of Nepal. RJD has described this incident as 'Hathras incident' of Bihar.
Motihari SP took action
After this incident, a video of the father of the deceased girl pleading for justice went viral. After watching this video, Motihari SP Naveen Chandra Jha took action in the case and suspended the head of the police station on charges of negligence and started investigating the case. An audio clip between the police station and the accused went viral and he was accused of conniving with the accused for not registering an FIR for 11 days in the case.
On the other hand, on this issue, the opposition party has said that this incident is like Hathras scandal. The government has failed in the matter of law and order. RJD has tweeted on this issue.
What is the matter
A minor girl was murdered in Motihari 15 days ago due to rape. A video of the deceased's father pleading for justice reached SP Naveen Chandra Jha. Investigation of the video revealed that the said video is related to a person named Bahadur, who lives in Nepal. According to the information, Bahadur used to work hard with his family in Motihari living on rent in the house of a person named Sah. On January 21, Bahadur and his wife went out to work as a ferry. Her 12-year-old daughter Kumari was alone at home. When the minor's brother came home, he saw that his sister was lying in a bloody condition. In a hurry he informs the father and then they take the girl to the hospital. But the doctors there declared the girl dead.
Dead bodies lit up in the dark of night
It is being told that in the meantime, the people of the house of the accused landlord, under pressure, told Bahadur that if you do not burn the dead body then the same will happen for you and your family. After which at around 12 o'clock, the dead body of the dead girl was burnt by putting kerosene and salt in a deserted place. Also, the victim's family was threatened not to file a case.

Excellent infrastructure and trainers - the main reasons that motivated me to choose WebTek Labs. After participating in its Ethical Hacking workshop I was eager to join their advance course. I would also recommend it to others.
Watch this video of this student who has shared her wonderful WebTek Labs training review.

Hello people of Nepal!, today ar Argentina we're doing Reddit Ambassadors' days, saying HI! to all the subreddits from all over the world.
Nepal for sure it's one of our favorites countries to do Cultural Exchanges here on reddit, there's always a great vibe.
And on a more personal note, I've visited Nepal last February and had a great time!Kathmandu was great and the Durbar Square on Bhaktapur was one of the coolest things I've seen in my life. I even saw the Kumari! (which, I admit, I found the whole thing a little weird). I saw the Himalayas (from a distante though) and I think I ate somewhere near 100 million momos.
I've also tried a really really strong but tasty alcoholic beverage (given to me as part of a thali menu) but I can't really remember the name, what could've been?
How's everyone doing over there? How are you guys dealing with this whole COVID business? Tired of quarantine?
If you have any question for Argentina please post them here or feel free to hop over to argentina and say hi!.
Namaste!
edit: holy crap, thanks for the awards!

Sometimes I just cannot dodge the thought of Siva Kumari being on this subreddit under some salty name pretending to be some coordinator or even a student. Siva if you are here, stop being diabolical. Please. Enough.

Hindustan extended from present day turkey to Indonesia and Japan.
Benzeiten is the Japanese goddess of learning. That is our saraswathi. Benten in Japan is our brahma. Read about this on Wikipedia if you like.
The Kushan empire, based out of present day Afghanistan was one of the mightiest known to man. They occupied the same areas mentioned earlier. But they came later.
Semula was an island continent about 300 miles off the east coast of India. This was the site of the epic war between Shri Ram and Ravan. The war did not happen in Lanka.
Lanka was 20–30 miles away from Semula separated by sea. It was not more than that because periodically the parties would eyeball each other.
The present day Lanka is one small portion that is left over after Semula went beneath the waters in a cataclysmic volcanic eruption.
This Semula (or kumari kandan or Lemuria) is the same place known later as Atlantis that Greek philosopher Plato mentioned.
However, Plato did not discover this. He heard the story from another Greek, Solon. He too is not the original source.
Solon heard about it from Egyptian priests.
The Egyptians were land lubbers. Their sea going adventures were limited to the Nile and minor forays into the Red Sea.
So the priests heard this from Indian traders of that era. Indian traders built their ships out of teakwood. So these did not rot in salt water. They sailed the world and populated the areas of south and North America.
Look at the incas, Mayas and red indians. They are all brown skinned Indians. The swastika symbol is common all over South America. The temples in Mecca destroyed by Mohammad in 600–700 AD were all Hindu temples.
Before the Kushan line around 5000 BC came the Harappa civilization. By the way Mohenjodaro built at the same time was not a fancy touristy place. It was merely a place of burying dead bodies. There isn't even a semblance of living arrangements in that area. You conducted ceremonies and then cremated the dead in that place. Then you went elsewhere. The name Mohenjodaro is itself a clue. It means “mound of the dead”.
So that is the story. Or at least a bit of it.
And where is the rest of it you may ask. I'll share one more bit.
Suvarna Dwipa (sometimes spelt as Suvarnadvipa) is a term you come across often in ancient Indian literature. It means “The Golden Island”.
Our ancients had a tough time as it is making sure their knowledge was passed on to us.
Oral transmission to each generation worked to some extent. They sometimes painfully etched out granite stones with the highlights of their times.
Typically they left clues on their monuments and prayed that future idiots (me; you;) will decipher WTF they were communicating.
So ancient Indians would not invent grandiose words like this unless it meant something.
It does.
I will tell you about SD. Very briefly.
For reasons that I may share later Garuda (Shri Vishnu’s preferred ride) was extremely hungry. He was holding on to something when Hanuman set fire to the original Lanka. Garuda let go of what he was grabbing with his beak.
It turned to gold.
The heat of Hanuman’s pyrotechnics melted it. 1/3 rd of Lanka got covered in molten gold. That portion of the land sank beneath the waters.
Hanuman most definitely did not care about gold. Mortals living in that era did.
They may have attempted to retrieve the gold. On the day when they knew that their time on earth was over, they passed on that information to subsequent generations.
And that is the origin of the word Suvarna Dwipa.
Jai Shree Ram

Come with me to Navadvipa
Shrila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaj Murwillumbah, Australia: Feb.14, 2002 Gosvami Shri Shrimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja [A Discourse on Jaiva Dharma] Try to come with me to Navadvipa-dhama. In Godruma-kunja, full of flowers, creepers, cuckoos and others birds, there was a bhajana-kutira named Pradyumna-kunja. In that very lonely place on the bank of Ganges and Sarasvati, Paramahamsa Premadasa Babaji performed his bhajana. Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has written that Premadasa Babaji was the siksa-disciple of Pradyumna Brahmacari, but he has not written the name of the Babaji's diksa-guru. Usually the name of one's diksa-guru is written, but because Premadasa Babaji's siksa-guru was higher than his diksa-guru, Thakura Bhaktivinoda has not done so. Shrila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami had a bona fide diksa-guru, but he is particularly known as Svarupera-Raghu, the Raghunatha dasa of his siksa-guru, Shrila Svarupa Damodara Gosvami. Svarupa Damodara Gosvami is a very high-class paramahamsa and an eternal associate of Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Radha-Krsna Conjugal. He is Lalita-sakhi. He is therefore more powerful than Raghunatha dasa Gosvami's diksa-guru, Yadunandana Acarya, and he was therefore more prominent in his life. In a similar way, Shrila Thakura Bhaktivinoda has given the name of Premadasa Babaji's siksa-guru. Premadasa Babaji was known as 'Paramahamsa Babaji' and Pradyumna Brahmacari was known as 'Brahmacari.' The title 'paramahamsa' is higher in rank then that of the brahmacari, and therefore we can only imagine what kind of brahmacari became of guru of a paramahamsa. Nowadays, everyone wants to be known as gosvami, paramahamsa, parivrajaka, and so on, but Pradyumna Brahmacari never wanted that. Devotees like Shrila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura and Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura kept their family name, but they are more than paramahamsa. If the diksa-guru and siksa-guru are both on the same level, we can honor them to the same extent. On the other hand, if one of them is superior, we have to give that guru more respect. For example, my Gurudeva is nitya-lila-pravista om visnupada Shri Shrimad Bhaktiprajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja. If my siksa-gurus are Shrila Rupa Gosvami and Shrila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, I will have to give more honor to them. First I must give honor to my Gurudeva, because he has dragged me from family life and he has supported and nourished me in bhakti, but if my siksa-gurus are Rupa Gosvami, Cakravarti Thakura, or Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Rupa Manjari, I will have to give more respect to them. One must first offer pranama to his diksa-guru, and, if his diksa-guru is a high-class Vaisnava and the disciple feels greatly indebted to him, then he must also give all honor to his diksa-guru. In some cases, however, as here in Jaiva Dharma, Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has only given the name of Premadasa Babaji's siksa-guru. The diksa-guru should be served by the process of arcana. Although sastra has said, 'visrambhena-guru-seva; one must serve the guru with a sense of intimacy,' you may commit some offences if you attempt this at your stage. When you come to the level of spontaneous devotional service, then you can do visrambhena-guru-seva. Otherwise, you will have to show that gurudeva respect, awe, and reverence. On the other hand, the siksa-guru can be seen as one's own heart, and the siksa-disciple can even joke with him. I used to joke with my Shrila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja. Sitting on the same seat, we used to laugh together. I never sat on the same level with my Gurudeva on my own accord, but sometimes he ordered me to serve him in that way, sitting on his bed or on a nearby chair as we worked on so many things together. I did so on his order, but I always felt a sense of awe and respect. With ones siksa-guru, on the other hand, there is so much joking and telling of everything that in ones heart. There is nothing to hide, and the siksa-guru will reveal truths about Radha and Krsna that we cannot always discuss with our diksa-guru. If anyone is very advanced, he can also act in that way with his diksa-guru, but such a disciple is very rare. As Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has given the name of Premadasa Babaji's siksa-guru in bhagavata-parampara, we should try to accept that bhagavata-parampara given by our acaryas. Shrila Kavi Karnapura was the first to give the list of these bhagavat-parampara gurus; then Shri Baladeva Vidyabhusana, then Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, and then, especially, Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada. Premadasa Babaji Maharaja was very learned and perfect in all sastras, like the Vedas, Upanisads, Puranas, Brahma-sutra, Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Caitanya-caritamrta, and he was also expert in the books of the Gosvamis, like Ujjvala Nilamani, Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, Brhad-bhagavatmrta, and Sat-sandarbha. Try to follow Premadasa Babaji, and then you can be pure devotees. He chanted two lakhs of harinama every day without any fail. He not only chanted one, two, or three rounds. He chanted 128 rounds, and that is equivalent to two lakhs of harinama. Moreover, he was not only chanting two lakhs names, but he was also serving the six Gosvamis in the following ways: sankhya-purvaka-nama-gana-natibhih kalavasani-krtau nidrahara-viharakadi-vijitau catyanta-dinau ca yau radha-krsna-guna-smrter madhurimanandena sammohitau vande rupa-sanatanau raghu-yugau sri-jiva-gopalakau ["I worship the Six Gosvamis, who passed their time in chanting the holy names, singing songs, and offering dandavat-pranama, thereby humbly fulfilling their vow to complete a fixed number daily. In this way they utilized their valuable lives and conquered over eating and sleeping. Always meek and humble and absorbed in the highest bliss, they were enchanted by remembering Shri Radha-Krsna's sweet pastimes." (Shri Sad-Gosvamyastakam by Shrila Shrinivasa Acarya)] Besides his two lakhs of harinama, he engaged himself for hours each day in offering dandavat pranama, falling down like a stick at the feet of all the associates of Radha-Krsna and Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He offered similar dandavat pranama to Vrndavana, Navadvipa-dhama and Jagannatha Puri, and to all the pastime places there. Besides this, he used to do madhukari at the gopa-grha (homes of the cowherd families), begging only a little milk or some chapatis from the residents and thinking those places as part of Nandagaon. He never spoke any 'chatter-patter.' Rather, he spent the rest of his time reading Prema-Vivarta. He was not reading Bhagavad-gita or Caitanya-caritamrta, but Prema-Vivarta of Shri Jaganananda Pandita, which was full with rasa. If a rasagula is squeezed, rasa continually flows out, and similarly, every line of Prema-Vivarta is full of rasa. While reading, Premadasa Babaji used to weep bitterly, with tears in his eyes, and his bodily hairs stood on end. Many Vaisnavas used to come to hear him speak from that book, and he used to explain Shrimad-Bhagavatam, Caitanya-caritamrta, Brahmara-gita, Gopi-gita and other topics of krsna-katha by using it as his reference. One day, at about 3.00 in the afternoon, Premadasa Babaji had completed his rounds and was reading Prema-Vivarta while drinking from the ocean of bhava and prema - love and affection. At that time an ekadandi-sannyasi came and fell flat at his lotus feet. There are two kinds of sannyasis: ekadandi and tridandi. Our parampara is a tridandi sampradaya, and he was from the ekadandi Sankara Sampradaya. Such persons are mayavadi. They think that brahma is undifferentiated oneness, whereas tridandi means that by our mind, senses and words, we engage in the service of Krsna. Tri means three, and therefore tridandi also means the acceptance of sakti, saktiman and jiva. Krsna is saktiman, Radhika is sakti, and in this connection jivas are all the souls who serve them in madhurya-rasa. These three are also in the seed mantra 'klim.' They are fully present in klim, in a seed form. Believing that all are brahma, mayavadis carry take one danda. Nityananda Prabhu once took the ekadanda of Mahaprabhu, broke it into three, and threw it into the river. He was teaching us, "Don't take one danda; take three dandas." He also taught that although it is necessary for us to carry the weight of a danda, there is no need for Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to do so. When that sannyasi arrived, Babaji was not in his external consciousness. He was totally engaged in a mood of serving Radha and Krsna and Mahaprabhu. He was in antardasa, trance or samadhi, and he could not see that a sannyasi had fallen down like a rod at his lotus feet, doing sastanga-pranama to him for some time. When he finally returned to external consciousness and saw the sannyasi, Paramahamsa Babaji also began to do pranama to him, calling out, "Ha Nityananda, ha Caitanya. Please sprinkle your mercy upon this wretched person." Then, folding his palms, that sannyasi said, "I am so fallen and full of anarthas. Why are speaking in that way and cheating me of your mercy? Please don't cheat me." Babaji Maharaja then gave him an asana made of banana leaves. He himself was sitting on such an asana, and he gave the same to the sannyasi and told him, "O Sannyasi Thakura, what service I can do for you?" The sannyasi replied, "I am very unfortunate." When a sisya goes to his Gurudeva to take initiation, he should behave as Sannyasi Thakura behaved towards his Gurudeva. Folding his hands he said, "I am a very high class of ekadandi sannyasi. I've very thoroughly read the sastras containing the six philosophies: sankhya, patanjala, nyaya, vaisesika, purva-mimamsa and uttara-mimamsa." In India there are six kinds of philosophy, and Sannyasi Thakura was perfect in them all. He was accustomed to speak in Sanskrit, and he had studied Brahma-sutra, the Upanisads, and Vedanta-sutra. Sannyasi Thakura said, "I was in Kasi, Varanasi, wasting so much time in tarka and vitarka, logic and argument. I practiced chanting, 'All are brahma,' and I practiced the belief that brahma is nirvisesa, we are all pratibimba, reflections, of that brahma, and in the end we'll mix in and become brahma. And I used to try to prove this by logic. Twelve years ago I took sannyasa from Saccidananda Sarasvati and I roamed in all the holy places of Kanya Kumari in the South, in Badarikasrama and Kedaranatha in the South, in Dvaraka in West, in Jagannatha Puri, and here and there. During that time, I discussed with and defeated all those who came to question or challenge me." Sannyasi Thakura continued, "I have passed the three stages of sannyasa, namely kuticaka, bahudaka, and hamsa." Kuticaka means to remain in one place. After that, the sannyasi gives up that kutira, roams here and there, and drinks water from many different places. Hamsa means swan. As the swan can take the milk portion of water and leave the water, a hamsa sannyasi can differentiate between worldly things and that which is transcendental. He can differentiate between atma-tattva and anatma-tattva, what is the soul and what is this body (not soul, but inert matter). Sannyasi Thakura's idea was that this world is false, there is a soul within the body, and that soul is brahma. He told Paramahamsa Babaji, "I practiced chanting, 'Aham brahmasmi,' 'prajnanam-brahma,' and 'tat tvam asi.' I completed my sadhana of all these meditations, but I was not happy. I passed so many stages, but still I was not happy." Shri Vyasadeva was paramahamsa, but he was also not happy. Actually, he was the father of all paramahamsas and the forefather of all paramahamsas. He was a manifestation of Narayana Himself, but still he was not satisfied with what he has accomplished. Although he had realized all his Vedic literature, but still he lamented, "Why am I not gladdened?" Sannyasi Thakura is similarly lamenting to Paramahamsa Babaji. "One day," he said, "I saw a Vaisnava loudly singing, 'Shri Krsna Caitanya Prabhu Nityananda, Shri Advaita Gadadhara Shrivasadi Gaura Bhakta-vrnda.' He was weeping bitterly and rolling down on the ground. His eyes were full of tears and his hairs stood on end. Sometimes rolled on the ground, and sometimes she stood up and then again fell down. I had been practicing 'aham brahmasmi for twelve years,' but I had never felt what I felt that day, in a moment. I cannot explain to you how happy I became. At that time my bodily hair stood on end and tears also fell from my eyes. I wanted to go to him and offer prostrated obeisances at his lotus feet, but I thought, 'I am paramahamsa. Why should I go there?' I was stopped by my false ego and I could not go to him. I could not offer proper respect to him. Then, he went on his way and disappeared. "It was after he left that I realized, 'Fie on me. Fie on my paramahamsa-pada (position of paramahamsa). Why could I not go and take his foot dust?' I began to search for him, wondering, 'Where is that Vaisnava?' I realized that if after a moment's darsana I am so happy and overwhelmed by bhava, then how much greater he will be! I knew I should go to him as Vyasadeva went to Narada Rsi to hear from him how to have that happiness. I continued to search, but I could not find him. I then left Kasi, Varanasi, thinking, 'This class of Vaisnavas may be in Vrndavana, so I must go there. I went to Vrndavana, and there I went door-to-door, bhajana-kutira to bhajana-kutira, to the bank of Yamuna, to the lotus feet of Govardhana, Radha kunda and Syama-kunda. I searched everywhere, but I could not find him. "By roaming throughout these places, my sukrti increased. By passing through all these high class of pastime places of Krsna and seeing the Vaisnavas singing, dancing, hearing hari-katha, and hearing Shrimad-Bhagavatam classes here and there, I amassed vast sukrti." In Vrndavana, there are more temples than there are houses. Yamuna flows practically everywhere there, and birds like the cuckoos are singing, "Radhe Radhe." Even watchmen in various areas in the night are chanting, "Oh, Radhe Radhe." All the bumblebees are singing, "Radhe Radhe." And all the creepers and trees are singing, "Radhe Radhe." So he went there, and some transcendental impressions came in his heart. Sannyasi Thakura continued, "All the pure devotees in Vrndavana dhama were weeping due to feeling separation from Shrila Rupa Gosvami and Shrila Sanatana Gosvami. They were praying, 'O Rupa! O Sanatana! Vande rupa-sanatanau raghu-yugau sri-jiva-gopalakau.' Having entered the sweet pastimes of Krsna in trance, and having taken the names of Sacinandana Gaurahari and Patita-pavana Nityananda, all were weeping there. I did parikrama of the entire caurasi krosa (the 84x2mile or 128 mile area of) Vraja-mandala parikrama. "Upon my inquiry regarding that Vaisnava I'd seen in Kasi, a devotee told me, 'You can have darsana of a Vaisnava like this. Just go to Navadvipa.' I then journeyed here, visited the birthplace of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and other holy places, and everyone directed me to you. Thus, today I have taken your darsana." Sannyasi Thakura then began to weep. This is the process of going to bow down at the feet of gurudeva. Such a person can have a real guru, just as Krsna sent Sannyasi Thakura to a real guru. If you want to discuss with your mind and think, "I can select my guru," you will not be able to do so. If you want to have a siksa-guru or bhagavata-guru in bhagavata-parampara, pray to Krsna and try to follow the above-mentioned procedure. Premadasa Babaji is not different from Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, in the sense that Bhaktivinoda Thakura is not less than him. Thakura Bhaktivinoda was realizing all the events and highest moods in Jaiva Dharma in his trance, and then he wrote it down. Falling again at Premadasa Babaji's feet, Sannyasa Thakura now said, "I heard your glorification and I have thus come to you. I have surrendered my entire existence at your lotus feet and you are free to use me in your service in any way." This is the process. If you want to have an eternal guru and an eternal relationship with Krsna and Radhika and Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu, you'll have to follow this process. Devotees in this process will not be weak. They cannot fall down. Lust cannot approach them, nor can worldly desires touch them. Give up all desires, today, with this vow: "I have given up all other interests. I want to serve Radha and Krsna totally." After Sannyasi Thakura completed his identification, Babaji Maharaja began to weep as He took a straw between his teeth and said. "I only pretend to be trnadapi sunicena (more humble than a blade of grass). O Sannyasi Thakura, I'm very unfortunate. I have wasted my time in filling my belly and chattering. It is true that I live in Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's pastime place, but I have not yet realized what is krsna-prema." It is stated in Shri Caitanya-caritamrta: na prema-gandho 'sti darapi me harau krandami saubhagya-bharam prakasitum vamsi-vilasy-anana-lokanam vina bibharmi yat prana-patangakan vrtha ["Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued, 'My dear friends, I have not the slightest tinge of love of Godhead within My heart. When you see Me crying in separation, I am just falsely exhibiting a demonstration of My great fortune. Indeed, not seeing the beautiful face of Krsna playing His flute, I continue to live My life like an insect, without purpose.'" (Cc Madhya 2.45)] Shrimati Radhika Herself is saying this: "I have no krsna-prema; not even a scent of it. Sometimes I weep. I know I weep. Why? I do so only to show off to others that I have overwhelming love and affection for Krsna. Until now I've not taken His darsana. If I really had love and affection for Krsna, I would not have been able to remain alive in his separation. And yet I'm alive! The fish actually have great love and affection for water. The proof is that if they're taken out of it, they will die in a minute or two. Still, I'm not dying! Why am I not dying? Because My heart is made from a thunderbolt, without any krsna-prema." Babaji Maharaja similarly began to speak, "Though I live in a very high class of pastime place of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, I don't know what is prema. You, on the other hand, told me that you felt this love and affection simply by seeing a Vaisnava for one moment. I have not realized this." Saying this he began to weep loudly and he embraced Sannyasi Maharaja. Seeing this, Sannyasi Thakura began to weep still more loudly. Tears continually fell from his eyes, and now even more feeling came than when he had seen that Vaisnava in Varanasi. Now he felt great love and affection for Krsna, and the hairs of his body stood on end. He realized that Premadasa Babaji was still more elevated than that devoted Vaisnava in Kasi. We have seen in Brhad-bhagavatamrta that when a young gopa of Govardhana was cowherding and he heard a voice, he could not decide whether the person whose voice he heard was weeping or singing. When he began to search for him, he saw a Vaisnava in the midst of a very thick grove, weeping bitterly. He was not singing, but he was weeping, "Radhe, Radhe! Radha Ramana Hari! Govinda Jaya Jaya!" Now, Sannyasi Thakura even more fully surrendered himself at the lotus feet of Premadasa Maharaja and said, "I have surrendered myself to you, so please be merciful to me. I am your eternal servant." A person who wants to be a disciple should be like Sannyasi Thakura, whether he is a grhastha or a renounced person like he was. When Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to Gaya and met with Shri Isvara Puripada, Mahaprabhu said the same thing: "I have surrendered to you my life, my body, and everything I possess. Please do what is best for me. Now I'm not mine; I'm yours." He said this not only by his words, but by his heart and soul. If you follow the way in which Caitanya Mahaprabhu approached His Gurudeva, no one will be able to cheat you. Krsna will arrange for you to go to a very bona fide guru. Otherwise, Krsna will also cheat you. He will consider, "This person has some worldly desires. Let him go to a third class, cheating, bogus guru." Those who select their guru by their own intelligence fall into the trap of bogus gurus. On the other hand, for those who first surrender to Krsna and say, "Krsna, I've surrendered to You," Krsna will make arrangements. Krsna is caitya-guru. You should always know that you cannot cheat Him. He is always in your heart. He knows everything about you that you don't even know; so how can you cheat Him? You'll cheat yourself; not Krsna and guru and Vaisnava. If Gurudeva is bona fide, if he has surrendered to his guru and Radha and Krsna and Mahaprabhu and Nityananda, we should not try to hide anything from him. He is not a mortal being. Premadasa Babaji then said, "I wish that you remain here in my asrama. I want to associate with you." The Sannyasi Thakura replied, "I have surrendered myself to you. Not only for two or three days, or one or two years; I've surrendered to you for my whole life. I am your servant." From then on he stayed with Premadasa Babaji, and if we follow him, we will attain Krsna's mercy very soon. Guru's mercy will come to you, the mercy of the parampara will come, and you will become a high class of pure Vaisnava. We have not come to enjoy in this world. We have already engaged in sex enjoyment for lakhs and lakhs of births in various male and female forms. We will not be satisfied by that process. Don't go in that direction. If you are married, you and your husband or wife should serve Krsna together. If you are not married, then don't marry. Be like Sannyasi Thakura. If you cannot do so, then you can remain with one devotee. If the wife and husband remain together in Krsna consciousness, they are also like brahmacaris. There is no harm in that. But try to follow all the instructions elucidated in this chapter of Jaiva Dharma. Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has written everything in Jaiva Dharma with full realization, and he has invested all his life's realizations in each word. Jaiva Dharma is not the figment of his imagination. He wrote this literature as Vyasadeva wrote Shrimad-Bhagavatam. Shrila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami also did not write anything in Caitanya-caritamrta that is not real, but rather he wrote what he had seen in his trance. Shri Sanatana Gosvami has also written Brhad-bhagavatamrta in the same style as Jaiva Dharma, in the form of a discussion, and there is no part of it that is false. Pray to Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, "Om bhaktivinodaya svaha." By this process, he will reveal to you all the answers and realizations about his identity and his writings. [Devotee:] Gurudeva, what's the difference between a hamsa and a paramahamsa? [Shrila Narayana Maharaja:] A hamsa can differentiate. As a swan can take the milk portion of the water and leave the water, a hamsa sannyasi can differentiate between spiritual substance and maya, and he will reject maya. A paramahamsa, however, sees that everywhere there is only milk, milk, milk. There is no water at all. Moreover, if there is water, the paramahamsa can turn it into pure milk. This is paramahamsa.

To whom it may concern; I am writing to you to express my utmost disappointment at how the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) has been treating this year’s May exam cohort. Amidst a global pandemic, much of the world still faces insurmountable challenges both socially and economically. The IBO claims that the IB Diploma Programme is of a “Learner-centric” nature. Abiding by this claim, I would like to express my concerns, as a learner, over the severely unfair circumstances we have found ourselves in. Understandably, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to adapt to the unstable, fast-changing nature of life. In light of the pandemic, and all the chaos around the globe, I can rightfully claim that the IBDP May 2021 cohort has had to face the worst circumstances and approaches to their education leading all the way up to the examinations. Since March of 2020, we have all been placed under extreme duress, under lockdowns and curfews. These have been unprecedented times that none of us could have ever imagined being in; yet, here we are, with more than 20% of the world’s population already infected with the virus. These are difficult times for each and every single one of us–teachers, administrators and students alike, but I wish to reach out and feel for the student community, a community that has seen the worst side of the crisis. The points that follow might be specifically addressed and catered to the IBDP aspect, however, my firm belief is that every student around the globe, IB or not, has suffered similar problems. No one will honestly stand by saying that online and virtual education has been a more efficient experience than being physically present in school. Each hour spent in front of the glaring light of our computer screens has been hardly 50% as productive as what we are actually capable of. I raise no doubt that Zoom, Google Meets and Microsoft Teams are extremely capable platforms that have acted as the backbones of the education system in the current reality; they, however, come nowhere near close to the first-hand, face-to-face learning experience all of us have been accustomed to receiving for the past 11 years. The quality of tutoring is severely depreciated, assignments are done half-mindedly, and assessments are unsupervised. These conditions come nowhere near close to how it will be if the IBO decides to move forward with the final May 2021 examinations. Speaking on behalf of many students I personally know of, school is what is considered as a safe place. We, as students, look forward to coming to school, to being in an environment that is conducive and suitable for learning and education, to begin in a space where we as learners can efficiently work and develop simultaneously. Being home for the past eleven months has changed many things. Without striking offence to anybody, I think it is important we recognise that not all households and environments are the right ones to grow in, and with the lockdown in effect, with many parents losing employment and finding themselves at a financially unstable situation, tensions are high. In light of the pandemic, so many of us have, regrettably, lost loved ones. If this was not enough, alongside dealing with the grief of the same, we have had to deal with unparalleled levels of anxiety, helplessness, and distress. It doesn’t take an expert to figure out the immense mental, emotional, and cognitive trauma that this can pose to fragile, growing teenage minds. It is also important to mention the distractions imposed upon us by the lack of distinction between a home and learning environment, further dismantling our productivity. In addition to this, we have been expected to complete our Internal Assessments (IA’s) and Extended Essays (EE’s) and give them our best. We have been told that in case our examinations are cancelled, our marks would completely depend on these submissions. I ask you; how on Earth is this fair? Given subpar resources and limited access to professional equipment, how are we expected to come up with stunning reports and lab results, when we are unable to access crucial laboratory apparatus including chemicals, reading devices, even the most basic of items such as measuring cylinders and flasks. This demand from the IB is absolutely unreasonable and has done nothing but mount on the ever-growing pressure that we are faced with. I can say, with complete honesty, that the majority of May 2021 students have not received enough consulting and assistance in regards to their IA and EE reports from their supervisors. This, added with the Theory of Knowledge essay requirement is over and above being unfair and simply wrong. With submission being of mediocre quality, we do not deserve to be graded on these, simply because we are not the ones at fault–no one is. These parameters of grading might have been relevant to pre-COVID times, however, they no longer hold value and efficiency. With a completely new scenario and its devastating consequences, we have the right to a fair evaluation of our work and a fair system of grading; one that takes into account all the confounding factors that have played a role in the quality of work we submit. On January 4, 2021, it was confirmed that the UK government had made the decision to, similarly to 2020, cancel A-Level examinations. I would like to bring to the IBO’s attention the unjustness of the situation that falls on the shoulders of us, IB students. Those of us who have applied to UK universities are put at a great disadvantage compared to home students. Firstly, we will be assessed on a completely different basis—A-Level students will be given grades by their teachers, while IB students will be graded on their exam performance. This, not only is unjust, but is ridiculous to even think about. It will result in many IB students missing out on their university offers while A-Levels students maintain high grades and fill out all the available spots. Secondly, with the pandemic being nowhere near under control, the UK has acknowledged the importance of social-distancing and keeping COVID-safe guidelines. I am afraid that the choice of conducting examinations will be extremely unfair to the many of us who have household members who belong to risk groups, potentially putting their lives in danger. This is no longer a time for members of the IBO’s Senior leadership Team & Director General, Dr. Siva Kumari to sit by without making a firm decision. Conducting an examination in this situation would be nothing short of an atrocity and a disaster, absolutely unfair on students, and definitely detrimental to our future progress. It is with this that I sign off, hoping that the plea of the student community, at large, does not fall on deaf ears. It is with utmost respect to the IBO that I make the request to those with the power in hand to do the right thing. Respectfully, Name Surname

This is an effort to start a discussion and attract visibility for the underrated stars who don’t get their due. I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the gem of an actor that Jimmy Shergill is
I am trying to write about his work but it is very difficult for me to write about Jimmy Shergill, without pouring in some nostalgia. Please be with me for a short story -
“It was summer of 2000s I guess, and my adolescent cousins were gushing over a guy in a certain film magazine. One of them was cutting out a picture of this guy and was telling me about the power of law of attraction and how she could marry him someday. I saw the picture of this handsome young man, and suddenly 7 year old me hoped to get married to him too.
He was Jimmy Shergill, I clearly remember, in a red shirt and was riding high on success after Mohabbatein.”
Fast forward few months, and then I saw my friend’s brother throwing a huge fit around the house because apparently his new hair cut didn’t look like Shergill’s hair.
This was the time when his craze paralleled with big stars of those times and every magazine touted him as the next big thing of Hindi cinema.
But destiny had something else in store and he was gradually cornered to character roles.
And now when I am writing this up, I cannot put my finger on what led this huge star go down the lane of small side roles. Jimmy Shergill is everything a Bollywood star needs to be - He is good looking, has a great screen presence, acts well and is very much capable of showing versatility. So why didn’t he got to be the next superstar of Bollywood? Why he didn’t get multiple chances to bounce back after a couple of flops? Why weren’t his films lined up consistently even when he was in his prime?
But maybe, Jimmy Shergill is much better than me in moving on from things. He clearly didn’t let these highs and lows of life sabotage the art in him. He put his best in whatever was offered to him.
He is going 20 years strong in Hindi film industry and is a very huge name in Punjabi cinema. At 49 years old, these are some of his great performances that I am listing, as his long time fan.
HIGHLIGHTS

1. Maachis

The story goes that Shergill bombarded Gulzar with letters when he heard he was looking for young actors for his film Maachis. It worked, and the director hired him for a small part. It proved to be a stand-out performance in a critically acclaimed film. It would also endear him to two filmmakers, Gulzar and his music composer Vishal Bhardwaj.

1. Mohabbatein

Though not his best work but this movie was his big break and as Karan he made the entire nation swoon on him. And much interestingly, he is the only actor of the entire new comer cast who is still seen on screen doing substantial roles.

1. Haasil

The film that made Irrfan Khan a huge name, also delivered one of Jimmy Shergill's finest performances. The actor played a naive student who gets pulled into the violent campus politics in Allahabad. Packed with some powerful performances, including one worth a Filmfare for Best Actor in a Negative Role by Irrfan Khan, the film also marked the beginning of Tigmanshu Dhulia and Shergill's partnership. The two would later collaborate again for Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster (2011).

1. Munna Bhai MBBS

The calibre of an actor is determined by his ability to make an impact no matter how small the role. The first film of Rajkumar Hirani's much loved Munna Bhai franchise was a sample of Shergill's ability to do just that. Playing Zaheer, a cancer patient, he managed to make a deep emotional impact despite the short screen time.

1. Yahaan

In 2005, he picked this forgotten yet impressive Shoojit Sircar film. Playing an army man in love with a Kashmiri girl, only to find out her brother's link with separatist militants, Shergill brought both romance and maturity to this charming film. It did not work at the box office, but remains a film worth watching.

1. A Wednesday

This was a film that nobody expected to work with Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah leading the cast. Yet, A Wednesday proved to be a sleeper hit. The film also saw Shergill emerge as a powerful actor with his role as the tough, unruly cop Arif. While he had very few speaking lines in the film, his impeccable dialogue delivery ensured that they remained memorable for audiences. This movie resurrected his charm and he became more visible in coming years.

1. Special 26

Neeraj Pandey's fantastic caper had the actor playing the red herring. As the eager but misled cop Ranveer Singh, Shergill brought a faux seriousness that made this entertaining film even more watchable. With Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher and Divya Dutta sharing the screen, Jimmy’s performance shines but less brightly than others.

1. Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster

Tigmanshu Dhulia went back to his Haasil actor after eight years to star in this modernized take on the Guru Dutt-Meena Kumari classic. Playing the arrogant Aditya Pratap Singh, the actor was in fine form delivering some punchline-laden dialogues and striding the screen with style. It won him a new following of fans who could not get enough of the lines

1. Tanu Weds Manu

Kangana Ranaut's fantastic performance and R Madhavan's charm stole the show once again from a belligerent role by Jimmy Shergill. The actor captured the essence of the frustrated guy jerked around by his crush while trying to put on a show of machismo. It suffices to say that there is no other actor who could have fit the role with as much ease as Shergill did. Jimmy’s performance largely remained overshadowed.

1. Madaari

Irrfan Khan and Jimmy Shergill do make for an exceptional cast. After Haasil, the two teamed up again in several films, the latest of which was this one-man crusade, Madaari. While Khan played the vigilante taking on a corrupt system, Shergill played the good man on the side of the law. While his sympathies lay with the vigilante, he continues to follow the law by the book. The film earned rave reviews from critics, and once again someone else’s performance won all the accolades while Shergill continued to walk quietly in the shadows.
Recently, Jimmy Shergill has started working in web series and has grabbed huge eyeballs in online space. Maybe, we won’t see him as a leading man in mainstream movies because film industry, like any other competitive firm, is brutal and doesn’t work on merit.
But in the wake of new reforms happening in entertainment industry, we can support artists on merit. We can watch their shows, their movies and can give an ear to what they have to say on social media.

From the NNS bureau desk of Krish
Google has cancelled its highly touted self-driven car program. An innovation that was going to change the world, it has faced some recent criticism after its disastrous test in the South Indian city of Hyderabad.
In a single day of real-time testing in Hyderabad, the Google car was involved in no-less than six incidents. It was pulled over twice by the traffic police. Once for violating the “not being driven by the driver in driver’s seat rule” introduced earlier in the day to enable the fulfillment of end-of-month challan quotas. Later in the day the car was pulled over for behaving aggressively with a Traffic Cop who pulled it over for behaving aggressively. At the same stop the car was also found guilty of drunk driving when it recorded some value on the non-functioning breathlyzer of the Cop, who just knew that it was drunk. In a hushed up incident, rumored to be settled out of court, the car has also been accused of street harassment and eve-teasing by Socialist Leader YudhamVijaya Kumari’s daughter Viplava Jhansi. Google has apparently made a sizeable donation to her NGO “Jhadu”, which gives makeovers to street sweepers.
Besides the violations, the car was also involved in three accidents. The first happened on the bustling Rd.1 of Banjara Hills, where auto-rickshaw driver Faisal “Sallu” Ahmed rear-ended the vehicle while it switched lanes. Sallu said that he noticed the car turn on its blinker, and did not know what to do in such a situation. He also went on to say “Unku rules-vules se chalana hai to Dubai mein karo bolo. Dubai mein sab log rula follow karte suna mai. Mera bhai, mamu ka beta, vahich kaam karta. Heydarabad ka logan aise hi bekaar chalate.”
The second accident involved renowned contractopolitician Pallituri Subba Krishniah’s grandson Pallituri Krishna Chaitanya. Chaitanya, who is known as “Vicky” among his friends, is an upcoming actor with one movie credit and a budding entrepreneur with investment in the posh-upscale American coffee gourmet connoisseur brand Starbucks. His chauffeur driven SUV was just returning from a car styling session during which his family name was put on its windshield. The poor vehicle was not even a day old when it got its first scratch after t-boning the Google car. Vicky’s driver was just trying to make a three-point turn on the Abids main road, and ended up running into the Google Car during his sideways reverse into the incoming traffic. Vicky was not available for comment as he is on vacation in Europe, but he posted the following message on facebook “India is gr8st cntry n d w0rld. If Google wnts to sucess in India, it hs 2 get Indian values n care 4 the opinion of the youth. Youth power is future” Vicky is also rumored to be running in the next election for the Pallituri Constituency, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, grandmother, father, uncle, brother-in-law, cousins, and sister.
The third accident finally ended the wretched car’s day when it was driving at the irresponsible speed of 50 km per hour alongside a TSRTC Bus. The bus driver, offended that anyone smaller than his vehicle was trying to overtake him, dealt with the car as any self-respecting bus driver in Hyderabad would and suddenly swerved the bus into the car’s lane. This uncomputable behavior fried the car’s motherboard and lead it to crash into the divider tearing the car into two neat halves due to the protruding metal pipes. The Driver is unavailable to comment due to his participation in a TSRTC Bandh Dharna over stronger safety measures for Bus Drivers.
CEO Sundar Pichai is reportedly speeding up research on Google’s quantum computing models in order to meet India’s traffic demands, and relaunch the program in a decade or so.

Krish is the lead science news expert for the News N Such news bureau. As Ananthachandra Ramakrishan Iyer, he was the Senior Sports Editor at Sportstar where he wrote a weekly 45000 word column on the beauty and grace of cricket strokes. In his 95th year now, he still firmly holds the belief that Ramanathan Krishnan’s sweeping graceful backhand was the greatest integral primal force in the history of tennis, and was only ineffective because of colonialism.

Uses, application and benefits
1) Blood thinning action of Aloevera is very useful against cholesterol. So, it is very useful in treating atherosclerosis (blood vessels clogged with clot and fat deposition).
2) For constipation, 10 gram pulp of aloevera paste is made with rock salt, mixed well and then boiled(to evaporate the water content). Take this once a day.
3) Aloe Vera leaf is heated on burning charcoal, cuticle is removed and pulp is scraped and squeezed in cloth to get the juice. One teaspoon of this juice is added with two drops of ghee and 4 drops of honey and licked hourly to relieve attacks of breathlessness and wheezing.

4) Healing effect : polysaccharide, and gibberellin, a growth hormone, interacts with growth factor receptors on the fibroblast, thereby stimulating its activity and proliferation, which in turn significantly increases collagen synthesis after topical and oral Aloe vera.9 Aloe gel not only increased collagen content of the wound but also changed collagen composition (more type III) and increased the degree of collagen cross linking. Due to this, it accelerated wound contraction and increased the breaking strength of resulting scar tissue. An increased synthesis of hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate in the granulation tissue of a healing wound following oral or topical treatment.
> Wound healing is a dynamic process, occurring in 3 phases. The first phase is inflammation, hyperaemia and leukocyte infiltration. The second phase consists of re-moval of dead tissue. The third phase of proliferation consisting of epithelial regeneration and formation of fibrous tissue.
- The leaf pulp is useful to heal burn wounds, boils, acne, blisters, allergic skin disorders.
- Its pulp is added with turmeric powder and heated for a minute and this is applied externally(acne, wound, allergic skin) and internally on mouth ulcer(2-3 times a day).

6) Skin protection effect from uv and gmma ray exposure : Aloe vera gel has been reported to have a protective effect against radiation damage to the skin. An antioxidant protein, metallothionein, is generated in the skin, which scavenges hydroxyl radicals and prevents suppression of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the skin. It reduces the production and release of skin keratinocyte-derived immunosuppressive cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) and hence prevents UV-induced suppression of delayed type hypersensitivity.
- Aloe Vera juice is good for stomach, skin diseases.
7) Anti-inflammatory action : Aloe vera inhibits the cyclooxygenase pathway and reduces prostaglandin E2 production from arachidonic acid. With this, the novel anti-inflammatory compound called C-glucosyl chromone was isolated from gel extracts.
8) Laxative effects : Anthraquinones present in latex are a potent laxative. It increases intestinal water content, stomach upset, stimulates mucus secretion and increases intestinal peristalsis.
Intake : Take Aloevera juice regularly in early morning on empty stomach.
9) Moisturizing and anti-aging effect : Mucopolysaccharides help in binding moisture into the skin. Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled. It also has cohesive effects on the superficial flaking epidermal cells by sticking them together, which softens the skin. The amino acids also soften hardened skin cells and zinc acts as an astringent to tighten pores.
Application - you should apply it externally and internally (juice / slimy gel).
10) Antiseptic effect : Aloe vera contains 6 antiseptic agents: Lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamonic acid, phenols and sulfur. They all have inhibitory action on fungi, bacteria and viruses.
11) Regular intake of mild doses of aloe vera in the form of capsule or juice, is very beneficial in hemorrhoids treatment. Because of it's mild laxative action and wound healing property.
12) Five phytosterols(lophenol, 24-methyl-lophenol, 24-ethyl-lophenol, cycloartanol and 24-methy-lenecycloartanol) of Aloe Vera have been identified with anti-diabetic activity. It is a good anti oxidant and it maintains healthy structure of the blood vessels. Both these are very vital in diabetic care. Hence it is very useful in diabetic management. (Pls consult ayurvedic practitioner before use).
13) It helps to protect the sensitive tissue in the mouth, dry mouth and enhances the taste buds
- Drink aloevera juice once a day in morning after you wake up.
14) Because of its antidandruff property, it(pulp/powder) is used in antidandruff hair oil and shampoo.
15) For weight loss : Take half a teaspoon of aloe Vera pulp. Heat it a little. Add a teaspoon of honey to it. Take it at night after food. OR you should add triphala to it. OR. This remedy is also good for kapha imbalance and asthma.

17) Aloe latex contains anthraquinones compounds that actively heal and reduce pain through natural anti-inflammatory effects.
18) In western societies, especially in the USA, Aloevera has been grown mainly to supply the latex component of the leaf to the pharmaceutical industry.
19) Aloe material has been used for drug absorption enhancement for drugs with low bioavailability due to extensive efflux.
20) Aloin and its gel are used as skin tonic against pimples. Aloe vera is also used for soothing the skin, and keeping the skin moist to help avoid flaky scalp and skin in harsh and dry weather. The Aloe sugars are also used in mois-turizing preparations. Mixed with selected essential oils, it makes an excellent skin smoothening moisturizer, sun block lotion plus a whole range of beauty products.
21) Aloe juice is helpful in smooth functioning of the body machinery. It reduces cell-damaging process during stress condition and minimizes biochemical and physio-logical changes in the body.
22) Application of Aloe Vera pulp to the scalp reduces dandruff and nourishes the hair follicles.
23) It is best to avoid it during pregnancy........

I've been flying this phaser cannon build for a while, but lately it's felt a little off: I don't feel like I'm dealing as much damage as I should be, and "the helm feels a bit sluggish". I did swap out an RCS console, which certainly hurt the turn rate, but I'm not sure which of the three consoles I have currently slotted to remove to put it back. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the loadout, but if there's a better rep set I can start saving up marks for, please let me know. Also, I feel like my skill tree is a mess, so suggestions there are welcome. I'm also not using any macros, and would like some info about setting them up, since right now I'm firing off powers manually (usually attack pattern alpha + CSV + kemocite at the start of combat)
