August : Patriotism and Religious fervour






Welcome readers,


 Patriotism ; 

India is one independent country and it celebrates its independence from Britain one 15th August since the year 1947. It is one of the biggest and most important celebrations for the Indian citizens and around this day you can literally feel the presence of patriotism floating in the air.

The standard dictionary definition reads “love of one’s country.” This captures the core meaning of the term in ordinary use; but it might well be thought too thin and in need of fleshing out. In what is still the sole book-length philosophical study of the subject, Stephen Nathanson (1993, 34–35) defines patriotism as involving:

Special affection for one’s own country. 

A sense of personal identification with the country. 

Special concern for the well-being of the country. 

Willingness to sacrifice to promote the country’s good. 
 Though the main celebrations happen at Red Fort in NewDelhi, but the day is celebrated with equal enthusiasm in all the different states, localities, schools and educational institutions of India.

Religious  fervour;

August month is most of we called it religious month as Indian we know we are mostAugust notable country for lost of celebration country. During this month specially Gujarati celebrate lost of religious festivals like Rakshabandhan, Nagpanchami, Shitala Satham, Janmashtami, Id Mubarak etc. But it is my illusion because other states also celebrates this kind of days.


Come let's have a look at some of best festivals out of the whole lot!

Friendship Day : Sunday, 4 August.

Nag Panchami: Monday, 5 August.

Indian Independence Day: Thursday, 15 August.

Parsi New Year: Saturday, 17 August.

Krishna Janmashtami: Saturday, 24 August

Janmashtami or Krishna Janmashtami is the annual Hindu festival of commemorating the birth of Lord Krishna, the ninth avatar of Vishnu. The festival is celebrated all over India and Nepal and by the Hindu community (Indian immigrants) in other countries viz. Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, and Suriname. Krishna is one of the most worshipped Hindu deities. He is a friend, a protector, a teacher, a philosopher and a leader for his devotees. The festival of Krishna Janmashtami commemorating his birth falls on the month of Bhadrapada in Hindu calendar (August – September in Gregorian calendar). Janmashtami is also known in other names such as Srikrishna Jayanti, Ashtami Rohini, Krishnashtami, Gokulashtami, Saatam Aatham, etc.
shitala satam.,, 
શીતલા સાતમ ગુજરાતી ક લેન્ડરમાં મહત્વપૂર્ણ દિવસ છે. તે દેવી શીતલાને સમર્પિત છે . એવું માનવામાં આવે છે કે દેવી શીતલા તેના ભક્તો અને તેમના પરિવારોને ઓરી અને ચિકનપોક્સથી સુરક્ષિત કરે છે. આથી, ગુજરાતમાં કુટુંબીઓ શિતળા સાતમની વિધિ માટે, શીતલા દેવીના આશીર્વાદ મેળવવા માટે.

શીતળા સાતમના દિવસે પાલન કરવામાં આવતી સૌથી નોંધપાત્ર ધાર્મિક વિધિ એ છે કે કુટુંબમાં કોઈ તાજુ ભોજન રાંધવામાં આવતું નથી. શીતળા સાતમના દિવસે જે ખોરાક લેવાય છે તે ઠંડુ અને વાસી હોવું જોઈએ. તેથી મોટાભાગના ગુજરાતી પરિવારો ગતરોજ વિશેષ ભોજન તૈયાર કરે છે જે રંધન છથ તરીકે પ્રખ્યાત છે .

શીતલા સાતમની વિભાવના બસોદા અને શીતલા અષ્ટમીની જેમ જ છે, જે ઉત્તર ભારતના રાજ્યોમાં હોળી પછી જ જોવા મળે છે . શીતલા સાતમ અને શીતલા સાતમ અને સીતલા સાતમ તરીકે જોડણી પણ કરવામાં આવી છે.
thenk you......

Metaphysical poetry

Metaphysical poetry Question:1      Characteristics of metaphysical poetry  with explanations of a few metaphysical poetry written by  John  Donne.  As well as any other metaphysical poetry.    term metaphysical poets was coined by the critic Samuel Johnson to describe a loose group of 17th-century English poets whose work was characterized by the inventive use of conceits, and by a greater emphasis on the spoken rather than lyrical quality of their verse. These poets were not formally affiliated and few were highly regarded until 20th century attention established their importance. Given the lack of coherence as a movement, and the diversity of style between poets, it has been suggested that calling them Baroquepoets after their era might be more useful. Once the Metaphysical style was established, however, it was occasionally adopted by other and especially younger poets to fit appropriate circumstances. POET JOHN DO...

Hello readers.,  Thinking Activity : Hamlet movie screening • Hamlet by William Shakespeare :~ My interpretation about the movie screening of Hamlet is as follows. Before watching the movie Hamlet there was  lot of question about it in my mind that why people are debating too much about this play rather than any other play ? Why critics are calling Hamlet Mona Lisa of literature? And so on…. But after watching movie my  interpretation about it totally changed. It creates far better understanding of the PLAY than it was ever before. Hamlet is a 1996 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, adapted and directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also stars as Prince Hamlet.
