Invitation to the Maha puskaram by Andhra Pradesh cm N Chandhra Babu Naidu
Be a part of Godavari Maha Pushkaram 2015
In our culture, we have always treated rivers with divinity. From Ganga to Godavari, rivers have played a significant role in our lives. From developing a spiritual connect to being great highways of travel and commerce, rivers have been with us in this journey called life.
Now, it is our chance to pay respects to these rivers. River Godavari, has now given us a chance to pay our respects, in the form of Maha Pushkaram.
Godavari has always been an important part of Andhra Pradesh. The very name reflects the vibrant culture of South India. The River has been a lifeline to millions of people, has witnessed great battles fought on the Telugu land and a myriad of challenges, changes and developments in the areas it traverses.
Known as Dakshina Ganga, millions of people worship the River in the form of Godavari Mata, seeking her blessings. Godavari Maha Pushkaram is one such festival that occurs once every 144 years, corresponding to the 12th recurrence of the 12-year Godavari Pushkaram cycle.
Our government is celebrating this on the lines of 'Maha Kumbhmela'. We have made elaborate arrangements from building new Pushkar ghats to ensuring pilgrims' safety. We are also going to have colourful events like the Sky Lantern Festival, Laser Shows, Food Festival, joy ride in a helicopter, among others.
Through this post, I request each one of you to follow rules while taking a dip in Godavari. We must remember that civil behaviour is very important.
Since we treat the River with utmost divinity, let us not dirty the River by using soaps, shampoos or anything that causes trouble to other pilgrims or pollutes the River.
I request you to keep the Pushkar Ghats, buses, trains clean. Do not litter/throw trash on the roads or in any places. We have set up dustbins for trash disposal. Overcrowding of boats should be avoided. I also appeal to you to not throw any materials, used for worship or rituals, in the river.
Pilgrims travelling in their own vehicles should beware of the speed, without causing harm to fellow pilgrims. We have set up a Central Public Address System that will update you with day-to-day announcements on Pujas, events, etc. We also have control rooms that will help pilgrims.
To make this festival a celebration of our culture and a reflection of our state's development, I want each one of you to be part of this spectacular experience from July 14 to July 25.
I invite people from across the world to experience this massive celebration of culture. Come, connect with Godavari by visiting Andhra Pradesh. Your presence matters to us.  +Google  +Aravind Babu  +sriharsha korlapati  +sisir molakalapalli  +Blogger  +StumbleUpon

The History Behind The 2 Minute Maggi Noodles!!

The History of Julius Maggi MAGGI owes its name to founder Julius Maggi (1846 - 1912), entrepreneur and inventor of the first product to bear the brand - MAGGI Soup Seasoning. Born in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, Julius took over a hammer mill from his father in 1869. At the time the milling industry was in crisis so Julius decided to open up new areas of production. He got in touch with physician Fridolin Schuler who had a concept for improving the nutritional content of meals for the labouring classes by making packaged foods out of milled pulses or legumes. Together they began product development and after two years of experimentation, the first industrially produced leguminous flour was put on the Swiss market in 1884. When the expected market breakthrough failed to occur, Julius went back to the drawing board and created MAGGI ready-to-use soups in in 1886, then launched MAGGI flavouring later in the year. More and more new products followed between 1887 and 1889. Julius op

The following are   NASA's plan if an asteroid is heading to Earth  Step 1: A text message would be sent to a team of 12 scientists.  Step 2: The scientist immediately start tracing the asteroid's path  Step 3:  They measure the size of the object and predict the time of impact  Step 4: They confirm with authorities whether the impact is unavoidable.  Step 5: A public statement would then be issued. Photo by  Bryan Goff  on  Unsplash Then NASA and emergency agencies how best to protect the Earth. They have simulated this experiment many times and come up with a few defensive options. They include firing lasers into the asteroid. Crashing a spacecraft into an approaching asteroid is another possibility. As is detonating a bomb next to an incoming object. There is no risk at the moment though. NASA can't detect any asteroid currently heading towards us. No large object is likely to strike for at least several hundred years.
