When Lord Krishna left the body, he was cremated, his whole body was found in 5 elements, but his heart was beating like a normal living man & he was safe, his heart is safe till today, which is of Lord Jagannath. Lives inside a wooden statue & beats like that, very few know this
Great mystery of Mahaprabhu
Cleaning is done by a gold broom
Mahaprabhu Jagannath (Shri Krishna) is also known as the God of Kaliyuga. Jagganath Swami lives in Puri (Odisha), with his sister Subhadra & brother Balram, but the mystery is such that no one could know till date.
Every 12 years the statue of Mahaprabhu is changed, at that time the entire city is blackout, that means the lights of the whole city are switched off, after the lights are off. There is darkness inside the temple. Eyes of the priest are tied with a strip.

In Mahabharata, Karna asks Lord Krishna - "My mother left me the moment I was born. Is it my fault I was born an illegitimate child?

I did not get the education from Dhronacharya because I was not considered a Kshatriya.
Parshuraam taught me but then gave me the curse to forget everything when he came to know I was son of Kunthi belong to Kshatriya.

A cow was accidentally hit by my arrow & its owner cursed me for no fault of mine.

I was disgraced in Draupadi's Swayamvar.
Even Kunthi finally told me the truth only to save her other sons.

Whatever I received was through Duryodhana's charity.

So how am I wrong in taking his side ???"

Lord Krishna replies, "Karna, I was born in a jail.

Death was waiting for me even before my birth.

One more political gimmick of Congress n Nehru spoils the life of an individual - Ms. Budhni Mehjan, who was made to welcome Nehru by garlanding him & then being photographed with him while inaugurating DVC power plant in 1959. Image
As per senthal tribal law (as published), exchanging garland means marriage & hence the lady was immediately outcasted from community. After outcasting her (for 'marrying' one outside community) she was not even given a glass of water in the village & been cursed for whole life.
No intervention was done post media session. No media even wrote about Budhni's fate after meeting the so called charismatic PM. No help from Nehru ever reached her!

Well, why was she face of inauguration? Simple, the entire land (where DVC is built) belonged to the tribes &

52 year old juvenile kerosene has opened his mouth again & this time said "India isn't a nation but a union of states". Okay Kid!! Let me explain what is Confederation, Federation & Union.

Confederation - Small nations form one country & give authority to central Govt.
This structure is weakest of all. Any country can separate anytime, as per their convenience. Example Serbia and Montenegro. 

Federal - States form a country and give some power of it's states to the central government. This is slightly more educated form of confederation.
United States is a classic example of Federal where 50 states are under an agreement to form a nation. All 50 states have different flag, different constitution but common currency. Tomorrow, if Alaska want, they can break the agreement and separate from America.

Steve Jobs dies a billionaire, with a fortune of $7 billion, at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer, & here are some of his last words
👇👇👇

“At this moment, lying on the bed, sick and remembering all my life, I realize that all my recognition and wealth that
I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death. You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you – but you can not rent someone to carry the disease for you.”

As we get older we are smarter, and we slowly realize that the watch is worth $30 or $300 –
both of which show the same time. Whether we drive a car worth $150,000, or a car worth $2000 – the road and distance are the same, we reach the same destination. If we drink a bottle worth $300 or wine worth $10 we're drunk".

From fighting an inferiority complex because she was from Hindi medium background to cracking one of country's toughest exams - UPSC - and securing AIR 50, Surabhi Gautam has an inspiring story to tell.
#Women
Surabhi has completed her education at a government school in her village, where basic amenities were also barely available. It was a Hindi medium school.

A diligent girl, Surabhi secured 93.4% marks in her class 10 board exams. She had scored a perfect 100 in Maths and Science.
Surabhi found a spot on the state merit list in classes 10th and 12th because of her good marks.

She suffered from an inferiority complex because of poor English speaking skills. But she didn't let that take the better of her.
