What is Dengue Fever?

The number of persons suffering from dengue fever is continuously increasing throughout the country.  Dengue Fever is caused by a virus carried by mosquitoes & this virus is spread by the Aedes Aegypti (Name of the mosquito).  Dengue fever is also called break-bone fever as persons suffering from dengue fever feels severe pain in their body.

This disease does not spread directly from one person to another. It happens in the circumstances only when a mosquito bites a person infected with the dengue virus, and then that virus enters into the mosquito. When this infected mosquito bites another person, the virus enters into that person and thereafter that person suffers from the dengue virus. It occurs by any one of the four-virus spread by the mosquitoes.

This type of mosquito has a unique white spotted body and legs and is easy to recognize even by laymen.

It breeds in clean water and has a flight range of only 100-200 meters. The mosquito gets the dengue virus after biting a human being infected with the dengue virus.

What are the symptoms & 7 warning signs of Dengue Fever?

The symptoms of dengue fever are very mild in young children and the person who infected the first time from the dengue fever. These symptoms become very dangerous if somebody infected by the dengue virus second or the third time.  Here are the warning signs and symptoms of dengue fever as follows.

What is the story of Jhansi ki Rani Laxmi Bai Death

Today in this post, we are going to talk about the great freedom fighter of all time i.e. Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai. She was patriotic and she had given her life while serving for the nation. There is a very famous poem dedicated to the patriotic freedom fighters like Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai

“Jo bhara nahi hai bhavo se, behti jisme rasdhaar nahi, woh hriday nahi hai patthar hai, jisme swadesh ka pyar nahi”

Rani Laxmi Bai was born on 19 November 1828 in Bhadanei town of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, whose childhood name was Manikarnika. Her father's name was Moropant Tambe & he was the Peshwa in the court of Bithur. Her father was a modern thinking person who trusted in the freedom of the girls and their education Because of which Laxmi Bai was very influenced by her father. His father had recognized his talent since the childhood of the queen, hence she had been given more freedom even from her childhood.

His mother's name was Bhagirathibai, a homemaker lady. When Rani Laxmi Bai was 4 years old, her mother died, after which her father raised Lakshmi Bai. Maharani Laxmi Bai had trained with self-defense, horse riding, shooting, and siege, along with her studies, which enabled her to become an expert in armaments.

The marriage of Jhansi ki Rani Laxmi Bai's took place only in the age of 14 with Maharaj Gangadhar Rao of Jhansi in North India. In this manner, Kashi's Manikarnika now became queen of Jhansi. After marriage, she got the new name & she was called Lakshmibai. She was enjoying her married life happily and approximately after 9 years, one baby boy was born in the house of Gangadhar Rao but unfortunately, he died after 4 months. In the absence of the son, Maharaj Gangadhar Rao Neewalkar started to be sick & thereafter Maharani Laxmi Bai and Maharaj Gangadhar decided to adopt the son of their relative. The name of the adopted child was Anand Rao but it was changed and made to Damodar Rao.

Due to constant sickness, one day Maharaj Gangadhar Rao Nevalaar's health worsened and he died on 21 November 1853. At that time, Rani Lakshmi Bai was only 18 years old. The Rani Lakshmibai was greatly hurt by the news of Raja's death after the son's disintegration, but in such a difficult situation, the Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai did not lose patience and decided to become the state's successor. Lord Dalhousie was Governor at the time. The British rulers who wanted to get Jhansi issued a government gazette on 7 March 1854 & ordered Lakshmibai to add Jhansi into the British Empire.  Lakshmibai was not ready & she said that she would not give her Jhansi.

After this, the Maharani Laxmi Bai, who was involved in saving Jhansi, created an army from the peoples of other states. There was an army of around 1400 persons and among all the most renowned faces were Vishnu Ghulam Khan, Dost Khan, Khuda Baksh, Sunder-Mundar, Kashi Bai, Motibai, Lala Bhau Bakh Minister, Dewan Raghunath Singh, Diwan Jawahar Singh.

In March 1858, Britisher attacked Jhansi and captured the Jhansi. During this difficult time, Lakshmibai saved her child from the reach of Britisher. On 17 June 1858, Rani Lakshmi Bai fought against King's Royal Irish and took over the front of Gwalior's front region. In this war, along with the Rani Lakshmibai, her sevaks also accompanied him. The Lakshmibai horse was new in this war because the queen's horse 'Rajaratan' was killed in the last battle.

In this war, the Rani Lakshmibai also feared that this was the last battle of her life. They understood this situation and fought with bravery. She badly injured in this war and fell down from the horse. The Lakshmibai was wearing men's clothes, so the British could not identify them and left her in the war land. After this, the soldiers of the Rani Lakshmibai took her to the nearby river and gave her the water, thereafter Maharani Lakshmibai shared her last wish. She said that to ensure that no Britisher would touch her body. In this way, on 17 June 1858, she died.

This is the death story of Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai.

Courageous Veerangana Rani Laxmi Bai always defeated his enemies with bravery and courage. The entire nation proud on her and praising her for the bravery she was carrying. Rani Lakshmi Bai is an inspiration for all of us and especially the women. 

There are some famous poems related to Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai. We have listed a few of them here.

•  Lakshmi thi ya Durga thi woh swayam veerta ki avatar, Dekh Marathe pulkit hote uski talwaron ke vaar

• Inki gatha chhod, chale hum Jhansi ke maidano mein, Jahan khadi hai lakshmi bai, mard bani mardano mein Lieutenant Walker aa pahuncha, aage bada jawano mein, Rani ne talwaar kheench li, hua dwand asmanon mein.

• “Chamak uthi san sattavan mein, woh talwar purani thi, Bundele harbolon ke munh humne suni kahani thi, Khoob ladi mardani woh toh Jhansi wali rani thi”. Ghayal hokar giri singhni, use veer gati pani thi, Bundele harbolon ke munh humne suni kahani thi, Khoob ladi mardani woh toh Jhansi wali rani thi.

During this time women have won such moments from whom they were unknown to this day. During pregnancy, women undergo many sour experiences and ups and downs and in the complete nine months, she faces several types of problems like a headache, vomiting, stress, blood pressure problem fear, demotivated and many more.

Many precautions are required during this period to handle all such situations. There are three stages of pregnancy called trimester, first trimester, second and third trimester.

Here, in this post, we are sharing some healthy pregnancy tips for normal delivery & for the healthy Baby.

· Selecting doctor & place of birth (Hospital)

The moment you find out pregnancy, you need to select the right doctor. Early organizing the care helps you to get good advice for healthy pregnancy from the start itself. In the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, there are many problems due to changes in women's hormones, nutrition needs and low blood pressure (low blood pressure). Talk to your doctor well about them and always keep the medicines you need.

· Go for the normal delivery

Normal Delivery must be favored over cesarean delivery as the mother would take less recuperation time in normal delivery and there are no negative symptoms. Then again, recuperation time is more and there are few side effects also in cesarean delivery.

· Proper, Timely & Healthy Diets

Start eating on time. Determine your eating time and eat something every three hours. Immediately after pregnancy, the need for nutrition for women's body changes. Now women should eat more and more nutritious diet because whatever you eat will affect the baby too. In the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, women should take protein, vitamins, and mineral at most, so that your baby can develop properly.

· Check-Up of Thyroid before Pregnancy

Get Thyroid Checkup Before Getting Pregnant, do your thyroid checkups because nowadays the problems of hypothyroidism are increasing very fast and if the disease is not detected at the time of pregnancy, then the miscarriage can occur or the born child can be disabled.

· Drink Water

Drink plenty of water and juice of the so that there is no digestive system problem and urine infection.

· Regular Check Up & Exercise

It is highly worthwhile to go for regular check up to ensure the wellbeing of the developing baby and mother. Visit the specialists after every 4 weeks (I am telling this from my personal experience) until 28 weeks of pregnancy and after this visit the doctors in every 2 weeks to ensure everything is going well. Exercise is very vital for the well-being of the mother. It helps in controlling weight, enhancing blood circulation, etc. Two hours walk (One in the morning and one hour in the evening) is good enough for the health of the mother. Yoga would be a good choice. It is necessary to take the advice from the doctors before practicing any exercise or Yoga so start only after consulting the doctor.

· Avoid these Things

It is advisable to stop smoking, drinking alcohol & beverages like tea, coffee, soft drinks, etc. Drinking such things is one of the major causes of miscarriage, birth complications, low baby weight, etc. so it is always advisable to stop such things during pregnancy.

· Avoid Few Activities

It is highly recommendable to avoid a few activities like climbing stairs, lifting heavy weights, standing for a long period of time, travel, don’t take any medicine without consulting the doctors, etc. Several types of health issues occur during the pregnancy but it is always advisable to take advice from the doctor before taking medicine. It would be helpful for both mother and infant.

ABOUT KUMBH MELA

The Kumbh Mela is one of the sacred festivals of the Hindu Religion. It has a great significance in the mythology of Hindus. This is the largest gathering and collective act of faith anywhere in the world. Millions of Hindus come into the Mela and take the holy bath at the union of the River Ganga, River Yamuna & the mystical Sarasvati.

The term Kumbh is derived from the Root Kumbhak which means the Kalash of immortality. It is the holiest festival of Hindu.

In the year 2019, Ardh Kumbh Mela is celebrated in the Prayagraaj/Allahabad, the holiest place in India. It would be started on 15^th Jan 2019 and would end on 4^th March 2019.

Here, in this post, let us know about the history of Kumbh Mela, what is the significance of Kumbh Mela, what are the places where it is conducted and many more things related to Kumbh Mela, so let us start.

Why Kumbh Mela is Celebrated in India

According to the mythologies of Hindu, the origin of this grand festival starts from the curse of Durvasa Muni. One day, Durvasa Rishi gifted the beautiful artistic flowers to Indra Dev, which Maneka gave to him. Indra put the garland in the neck of his elephant & thereafter Aaravat threw the garland on the ground and seeing that Durvasa muni became very angry. Durvasa Rishi said to Indra that the continuous appreciation by Gautama and Vasishta Rishi has brought ego within Indra. To calm the arrogance of Indra, Durvasa Muni had given the curse to all the Devta and due to this curse, Devta lost their strength.

Once the Devta started losing their strength, they went to Lord Shiva & Lord Brahma in order to regain their strength.  Both Lord Shiva & Brahma gave advice to Devta to visit Lord Vishnu and pray to him to get the power again.  Lord Vishnu had shown the path to Devta to get power back. He advised churning the ocean of Milk which was known as Ksheera Sagar in order to get Amrit. Since the devtas had not enough power to churn the ocean alone so they went to the demons for their help.  The demons agreed to help them but there was one condition to share half of the nectar of Amrit with them. The demigods or Devta agreed and Samudra Manthan started. The Meru Mountain played the role of churning rod to churn Ksheera Sagar. The king of serpents “Vasuki” played the part of the rope around the mountain.

There 14 items came out from this Samudra Manthan and those 14 items were Poison, Parijat Kalpavruksha (A wish-fulfilling tree), Som (Moon), Haridhanu (A Divine bow), Kamdhenu (also known as wish-fulfilling Cow), Sura (Alcohol), A Conch, Dhanwantari, Koustubha mani (A diamond), Uchchaihshravas (A kind of White Horse), Airavat (An elephant having four tusks), Shri Lakshmi Devi (Consort of Shrivishṇu), Devanganas such as Rambha etc.

In the end, Amrit Kalash came out.

When the Amrit Kalash came out, the Demigods started fearing for the fact that if these demons took this Amrit, they became immortal and it was not possible to defeat them in the fight. Therefore, God gave the signal to the Son of Indra to take this holy Pot from Dhanwantari and ran away. Demons started running behind Indra’s son and they started fighting for Amrit Kalash. They fought for 12 days and during this battle, the few drops of that Amrit fell down at four places of the earth. In these four places, this Kumbh Mela is celebrated. It is a story related to the history of Kumbh Mela.

What are the Places of Kumbh Mela?

The Kumbh Mela is celebrated in four places and those four places are as follows:

• Haridwar Kumbh on the Ganges in Uttarakhand

• Ujjain Kumbh on the Shipra in Madhya Pradesh.

• Nashik Kumbh on the Godavari in Maharashtra.

• Prayagraj/Allahabad Kumbh at the convergence of the Ganges, the Yamuna, and the mythological Sarasvati in Uttar Pradesh.

There are Four types of Kumbh Mela i.e.

* Normal Kumbh Mela,

* Ardh (half) Kumbh Mela,

* Purna (complete) Kumbh Mela &

* Maha Kumbh Mela.


The normal Kumbh Mela, Ardh (half) Kumbh Mela, Purna (complete) Kumbh Mela, & Maha Kumbh Mela is held every 3 years, every 6 years, every 12 years, & every 144 years respectively. Based on the planetary positions, Purna (complete) Kumbh Mela are organized at any of the four places i.e. Prayag (Allahabad), Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. The Maha Kumbh Mela is always organized in Prayagraj/Allahabad.
