AS .Mr R K LAXMAN...

NEW DELHI: RK Laxman was born in Mysore. His father was a headmaster and Laxman was the youngest of six sons. His older brother is the famous novelist R K Narayan.

Laxman was engrossed by the illustrations in magazines such as The Strand Magazine, Punch, Bystander, Wide World and Tit-Bits, even before he could read. Soon he was drawing on his own, on the floors, walls and doors of his house and doodling caricatures of his teachers at school. Praised by a teacher for his drawing of a peepal leaf, he began to think of himself as an artist in the making.

Republic Day-26 Jan-2015

In India, Republic Day honours the date on which the Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950 replacing theGovernment of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India.

The Constitution was passed by the Constituent Assembly of India on 26 November 1949 but was adopted on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system, completing the country's transition toward becoming an independent republic. 26 January was selected for this purpose because it was this day in 1930 when the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress.

It is one of three national holidays in India, other two being Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti.

Celebrations

The main Republic Day celebration is held in the national capital, New Delhi, at the Rajpath before the President of India. On this day, ceremonious parades take place at the Rajpath, which are performed as a tribute to India.

In 2015, on the occasion of the 66th Republic Day, US PRESIDENT BARAK OBAMA IS CHIEF GUEST.

Beating Retreat

The Beating Retreat ceremony officially denotes the end of Republic Day festivities. It is conducted on the evening of 29 January, the third day after the Republic Day. It is performed by the bands of the three wings of the military, the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. The venue is Raisina Hills and an adjacent square, Vijay Chowk, flanked by the North and South block of the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's Palace) towards the end of Rajpath.

The Chief Guest of the function is the President of India who arrives escorted by the (PBG), a cavalry unit. When the President arrives, the PBG commander asks the unit to give the National Salute, which is followed by the playing of the Indian National Anthem, Jana Gana Mana, by the Army developed the ceremony of display by the massed bands in which Military Bands, Pipe and Drum Bands, Buglers and Trumpeters from various Army Regiments besides bands from the Navy and Air Force take part which play popular tunes like Abide With Me, Mahatma Gandhi's favourite hymn, and Saare Jahan Se Achcha at the end

BASHANT PANCHMI. 24 FEB 2015.

२०१५ वसन्त पञ्चमी पर सरस्वती पूजन

वसन्त पञ्चमी का दिन माँ सरस्वती को समर्पित है और इस दिन माँ सरस्वती की पूजा-अर्चना की जाती है। माता सरस्वती को ज्ञान, सँगीत, कला, विज्ञान और शिल्प-कला की देवी माना जाता है। इस दिन को श्री पञ्चमी और सरस्वती पूजा के नाम से भी जाना जाता है।

भक्त लोग, ज्ञान प्राप्ति और सुस्ती, आलस्य एवं अज्ञानता से छुटकारा पाने के लिये, आज के दिन देवी सरस्वती की उपासना करते हैं। कुछ प्रदेशों में आज के दिन शिशुओं को पहला अक्षर लिखना सिखाया जाता है। दूसरे शब्दों में वसन्त पञ्चमी का दिन विद्या आरम्भ करने के लिये काफी शुभ माना जाता है इसीलिये माता-पिता आज के दिन शिशु को माता सरस्वती के आशीर्वाद के साथ विद्या आरम्भ कराते हैं। सभी विद्यालयों में आज के दिन सुबह के समय माता सरस्वती की पूजा की जाती है।

वसन्त पञ्चमी का दिन हिन्दू कैलेण्डर में पञ्चमी तिथि को मनाया जाता है। जिस दिन पञ्चमी तिथि सूर्योदय और दोपहर के बीच में व्याप्त रहती है उस दिन को सरस्वती पूजा के लिये उपयुक्त माना जाता है। इसी कारण से कुछ वर्षो में वसन्त पञ्चमी चतुर्थी के दिन पड़ जाती है। हिन्दू कैलेण्डर में सूर्योदय और दोपहर के मध्य के समय को पूर्वाह्न के नाम से जाना जाता है। 

ज्योतिष विद्या में पारन्गत व्यक्तियों के अनुसार वसन्त पञ्चमी का दिन सभी शुभ कार्यो के लिये उपयुक्त माना जाता है। इसी कारण से वसन्त पञ्चमी का दिन अबूझ मुहूर्त के नाम से प्रसिद्ध है और नवीन कार्यों की शुरुआत के लिये उत्तम माना जाता है।

वसन्त पञ्चमी के दिन किसी भी समय सरस्वती पूजा की जा सकती है परन्तु पूर्वाह्न का समय पूजा के लिये श्रेष्ठ माना जाता है। सभी विद्यालयों और शिक्षा केन्द्रों में पूर्वाह्न के समय ही सरस्वती पूजा कर माता सरस्वती का आशीर्वाद ग्रहण किया जाता है।
