Tulsi Vivah is conducted on the day after Kartik Ekadashi (the eleventh bright day of the new moon, Amavasya). According to Hindu mythology, Devi Tulsi is ceremonially married to Lord Vishnu on this day. The festival continues for five days and concludes on the full moon day of Purnima.. The festival is based on the legend of the marriage (or Vivah) of the holy Tulsi plant with Lord Vishnu. The Tulsi plant is considered holy by many Hindus and traditional Hindu homes used to have Tulsi plant growing in the courtyard. Offerings were made to the Tulsi plant every morning and evening during the daily prayers.
MR. JUGATRAM DAVE Recipient of Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Constructive Work-1978 Born: 1895 Jugatram Dave was born on 1st September, 1895 at Laktar (Kathiawar). He studied upto Matric at Bombay and worked in a Gujarati monthly Vismi Sadi for some time. As the Bombay climate did not suit him, Swami Anand sent him to Baroda in 1915, where he worked as a teacher in a village school under the guidance of Acharya Kakasaheb Kalelkar for a couple of years. In 1917 he went to Ahmedabad to join the Kochrab Ashram and later shifted to the Sabarmati Ashram. He became an ideal ashramite, earning the confidence of Gandhiji and Kasturba. He worked first as a teacher in the national school established by Gandhiji and later joined the Navjivan Press. Jugatrambhai was deeply impressed by Gandhiji’s Constructive Programme and wished to take it up in right earnest on his own. This he could do only in 1924, when he went to stay at the Swaraj Ashram, Bardoli. He took an active part in flood relief operations in 1927 when many parts of Gujarat were devastated by floods and later in the Bardoli Satyagraha in 1928 under the leadership of Sardar Vallabbhai Patel. Soon afterwards he set up an ashram at Vedchhi, in the Raniparaj area inhabited mostly by Adivasis, as he felt that constructive work was most needed in uplifting the people of this socially and economically backward area. Jugatrambhai was, however, not able to give his undivided attention to organize and develop the Ashram activities on a wide and systematic scale till many years later.

Tatagaru, if you can read this: You brought me up and taught me how to go beyond myself. ii Abstract In this dissertation, I suggest that the Indian political leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi infused deep and enigmatic meanings into everyday physical objects, particularly buildings. Indeed, the manner in which Gandhi named the buildings in his famous Satyagraha Ashram in Ahmedabad in the early part of the twentieth century, makes it somewhat difficult to write, in isolation, about their physical appearance.

Ranganathar in Orgonite Relieving Our Relationship Problems REMOVING DOSHAS of SUKRAN
Reclining Pose Ranganathar in Orgonite Relieving our Relationship Problems REMOVING DOSHAS OF SUKRAN Lord Ranganathar is in Reclining - Ananta sayanam posture (yogic eternal sleep of yoga-nidra) as smiling Lord Vishnu. He is relaxing on the coil of the seven hooded Great Serpent bed of God Adisesha in an ocean of milk as per the “Puranas", the Vishnu Sahasranama. His consort is Goddess Lakshmi, doing pada seva to Him. He is enjoying the aroma emanating from the lotus held in His left hand, and His right hand is blessing Lord Siva. Lord Brahma is seen on a lotus, which emanates from the navel of Vishnu. Structuring the orgonite Base for Ranganathar: A rectangular shape beedam with a medium size of 25*21*2.9cm base is made for keeping the Gold Coated ashtadhatu idol of Ranganathar with Height 3 inches and weight 300 grams in the center permanently. Two kinds of orgonite are shown above. Though there are fifteen kinds of ingredients inside, some of them are mentioned here. Black Saligram inside orgonite: According to the Hindu tradition this stone is the shelter for a small insect known as "Vajra-Keeta" that has a diamond tooth which cuts through the Shaligram stone and stays inside it. Saligram is usually black in color with the symbol of Sudharsan chakra – the discus of Vishnu. The chakras can be seen both outside and inside. Black natural Shaligram heals us to come out of the black box of our past life fears and traumas and guides to surrender to Lord Vishnu in Ranganathar form.
Drive against Bribe using RTI Act The Drive against Bribe using the Right to Information Act , organized by Mahiti Adhikar Gujarat Pahel at the Satyagrah Kochrab Ashram as part of a nation-wide campaign, comes to an end tomorrow, on July 15, 2006. This statement gives a synopsis of what has transpired so far and what is planned for the future. The Campaign That the campaign has been an unqualified success is shown by the following quantitative indicators 1. Number of visitors at the campaign site, Kochrab Ashram over 1400 2. Number of phone calls received 1275 calls 3. Number of applications under RTI filed 1366 The quantitative indicators tell only a limited story. The real impact has been through creation of awareness about the RTI Act amongst people at large ; empowerment and creation of confidence in common citizens that they can ask for information, and ask questions, from government functionaries; transformation of some of the citizens into active propagators of the RTI Act and its uses; and creation of a core of volunteers knowledgeable about the provisions, uses, intricacies of the RTI Act . As many as 300 volunteers have actively worked at the RTI camp at Kochrab Ashram during this fortnight. These volunteers have actually understood the RTI Act quite comprehensively and have also gained valuable experience in drafting applications under the RTI Act for a variety of problems and issues. Since the volunteers came from different parts of the state, their fanning out across the state and continuing to work for effective implementation of the RTI Act is likely to go a long way in a common people of the state using the RTI Act to solve their day to day problems instead of having to pay bribes.

About Us Shree Saligrams is considered the direct symbol of Lord Vishnu, They are found only in Mukti chhetra and Damodar Kunda (north-west of Nepal). According to the religious text of Devi Bhagwate (and other scriptures) to kill demon Jalandhar Lord Vishnu have to destroy Sati Brindha's sati dharma. When he did that Sati Brindha gave four seeming desecrations to Lord Vishnu to become stone, grass, tree, plant. To wash away this reaction Lord Vishnu took four avatars (incarnations). He became stone (Shree Saligram) grass (kush) tree (Pipal) and plant (Tulsi). Since this time the Saligrams are considered to be most auspicious to behold and to worship. The worshipper knows no fear and by Shree Saligram's mercy the worshipper is blessed to attain all desirable things; worldly comforts, good wife, good sons, good health and wealth etc. It is all by the blessings of Lord Mahavishnu that His pastimes are being served. It is an excellent service for devotees of Lord Narayana. Saligram , the only self incarnated god in Kali Yuga, found in northern parts of Nepal on the banks of Gandaki river. Our mission is to provide devotees best saligram as Saligram Strotram suggest. We are dealing in Saligram from many years and gain knowledge and experience to choose saligram and name them according to the ancient scripture.
