Somnath Temple


Located in the state of Gujarat in India, the famous Somnath Temple is a very sacred Hindu pilgrimage site. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is considered to be one of the twelve "Jyotirlingas" (lighted lingas), which is a symbol of Lord Shiva. The temple of Somnath has existed since times immemorial and it is also mentioned in the oldest holy scriptures, Rig Veda. An interesting fact about Somnath temple is that though it has been destroyed a number of times; it has always been rebuilt. Read the legend behind the Somnatha pilgrimage. 


It is said that the Somnath temple was built by the moon God himself in gold, then by the demon king Ravana in silver, in sandalwood by Lord Krishna and in stone by the one of the rulers of Gujarat, Bhimdeva. It is said that the moon was very proud because of his beauty. Angered by his arrogance, his father-in-law cursed him to decrease and ultimately vanish. He pleaded for mercy and then was told to worship Lord Shiva. His curse was removed partially and he thus built the temple for Lord Shiva. 



The architecture of the present temple reflects the Chalukya style of construction. The intricate and flawless carvings speak volumes about the skilled artisans of Gujarat. An inscription on the Arrow Pillar on the sea protection wall states that there is no piece of land between the point where the temple stands and Antarctica. The first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad commented that the Somnath temple symbolizes the fact that the power of creation is always more than the power of destruction.

The Somnath temple located in Prabhas Patan near Veraval in Saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat, is believed to be the first among the twelve jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva. It is an important pilgrimage and tourist spot of Gujarat.

history of morbi   [મોરબીનો ઈતિહાસ]   morbi state It's called once in Morbi, There were rivers of Milk and Ghee(Butter). This mean Morbi was too prosperous. On that time Morbi was among the Strongest states of India. Morbi Was ruled by many Kingdom. From Mughal Empire to Rajputs and Britishers. From Qutb-ud-din Aybak to Lakhdhirji Thakor.. Sir Waghjee Thakor After the death of Waghjee Thakor, Prince Lakhdhirji Thakor announced the King of Morbi. He also did remarkable job in the History of Morbi.

ampere’s law and its applications in daily life What is ampere’s law? According to this law “The line integral of magnetic field B along a closed path due to current is equal to the product of the permeability of free space and the current enclosed by the closed path”. Mathematically it is expressed as: Where μ 0 =permeability of free space i=current flowing through the conductor. Proof:      Consider a straight conductor in which current I is flowing. The current produces the magnetic field B around the conductor. The magnetic field lines are in the form of concentric circles.      Ampere showed that the flux density B at any point near the conductor is directly proportional to the current i and inversely proportional to the distance ‘r’ from the conductor ,so : Where  is the length of the path called circumference of the circle. Divide the circle representing the magnetic field line into large number of small elements each of length dl. The quantity B

General    This 24km national park Conservation of another precious ecosystem can be discovered at the Wild Ass Sanctuary of Little Rann. The unique white desert terrain and landscape are irresistible to tourists. Safaris by jeeps and bird watching trips during winter add to the excitement.  Being the world’s only natural habitat for wild ass, the sanctuary of course draws people to watch these magnificent creatures. However, over 4000 km sanctuary harabours a large variety of bird population. The Rann was a shallow part of the Gulf of Kutch earlier. It is formed through the process of siltation of marine estuary. During monsoon, the discharge of river and rain waters together with sea water blown up due to south west winds, the Rann becomes a vast shallow sheet of water which dries up by October, November. Especially when the terrain becomes a wetland, birds of many flocks fly down from faraway lands to breed and nest in the peculiar landscape. Look out for:  Flamingos

આઝાદી પહેલાં અને પછીની સ્થિતિ 1947માં આપણને આઝાદી મળી અંગ્રેજો ચાલ્યા ગયા. તે પછી પાકિસ્તાને પાંચ વાર આક્રમણો કર્યાં. અને ચીને એક વાર આક્રમણ કર્યું. આપણે એકે વાર પણ કોઈ ઉપર આક્રમણ ન કર્યું. કારણ કે ચિંતન જ એવું હતું. થોડી વિગત જોઈએ. ગાંધીજીનું નવું ચિંતન તો આક્રમણમાં માનતું જ ન હતું. થોડી વિગત જોઈએ. પ્રથમ કાશ્મીર ઉપર આક્રમણ 1. આઝાદી પછી ઘણાં રજવાડાં સરદાર સાહેબના પ્રયત્નોથી ભારતમાં ભળી ગયાં. પણ નિઝામ હૈદરાબાદ, જૂનાગઢ અને કાશ્મીર જેવાં થોડાં રજવાડાં ભળ્યાં નહિ, સરદાર સાહેબે નિઝામ અને જૂનાગઢને તો ભારતમાં ભેળવી દીધાં. પણ કાશ્મીર પ્રશ્ન નહેરુજીના હાથમાં હતો. ત્યાંના રાજા હરિસિંહ સ્વતંત્ર રહેવા માગતા હતા, ભારતમાં ભળવા માગતા ન હતા. પં. નહેરુજી તેને સમજાવી શક્યા નહિ. લાગ જોઈને પાકિસ્તાને કાશ્મીર ઉપર છદ્મ હુમલો કરી દીધો. 22-10-1947ના રોજ સેનાના માણસોને કબાયલીઓના વેશમાં બંદૂકો સાથે કાશ્મીર ઉપર આક્રમણ કરવા મોકલી દીધા. હરિસિંહે પોતાની સેના સામનો કરવા મોકલી પણ તેમાં મુસ્લિમોની બહુલતા હોવાથી તે પેલા પક્ષમાં ભળી ગઈ. આક્રાન્તા છેક શ્રીનગર સુધી પહોંચવાની તૈયારીમાં હતા ત્યાં હરિસિંહને ભાન થ
