🙏🏻MAHAVIR JAYANTI 2023🙏🏻

21st April 

🔖One of the most important festivals of the Jain community, the Mahavir Jayanti celebrates the birth of Lord Mahavira, the twenty-fourth Tirthankara in Jainism. The festival is always conducted without any grand celebration or extravaganza concerning the principles of Jainism. The worship rituals are also not elaborate since their leader did not believe in idol worship.

🔖A Brief History

According to the religious scripts and Jain texts, Lord Mahavira was born on the Chaitra month on the 13th day of the waxing moon in Kundalagrama, Bihar, which is just a few kilometres away from Patna. During those days, the state's capital was considered Vaishali.

🔖He preached non-violence during his time and treated every person with reverence. People gave him the name “Mahavira” after observing his incredible sense-controlling skill. The followers believe that he attained enlightenment (nirvana) at 72. Mahavir Jayanti is to celebrate the birth of Mahavira.

World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) aims to spread awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the obstacles that people with ASD face every day. Each year, the day is celebrated on April 2 globally to make people aware of the neurodevelopmental disorder that distorts communication and social interaction skills. 

History and Significance

The United Nations has been working to facilitate the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities ever since its inception. In 2008, the UN announced April 2 to be observed as the World Autism Awareness Day.

The resolution of the UN was passed on November 1, 2007, and it was accepted on December 18, 2007. Since then every year, World Autism Awareness Day has been observed on April 2.

The day is also one of the only seven official health-specific UN Days.

Autistic people face discrimination and challenges that are often not recognised by the world.

The levels of awareness vary dramatically from country to country and it is important to recognise that autistic people are vulnerable to major problems such as pandemics, effects of climate change, cyberbullying, and natural disasters. Thus the World Autism Awareness Day is celebrated to encourage people to raise awareness about ASD and look for ways to improve the lives and wellness of people with ASD.

MITTAR PYARE NU HAAL MUREEDAN DA KEHNA..🌹

ਖਿਆਲ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦ਵੀਂ

ਮਿੱਤਰ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਹਾਲ ਮੁਰੀਦਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ

ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਉਪਰੋਕਤ ਖਿਆਲ (ਮਿੱਤਰ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਹਾਲ ਮੁਰੀਦਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ) 8-9 ਪੋਹ ਦੀ ਦਰਮਿਆਨੀ ਰਾਤ ਚਮਕੌਰ ਦੀ ਗੜੀ ਛੱਡਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਮਾਛੀਵਾੜੇ ਦੇ ਜੰਗਲਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਚਾਰਿਆ । ਅਨੰਦਗੜ੍ਹ ਦਾ ਕਿਲ੍ਹਾ ਛੱਡ, ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਸਾਰਾ ਕੁਝ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ਕਰ ਜਦ ਮਾਛੀਵਾੜੇ ਆਏ ਤਾਂ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਭਾਰ-ਮੁਕਤ ਹੋ ਉਹ ਮਾਛੀਵਾੜੇ ਦੇ ਜੰਗਲ ਵਿਚ ਗੂਹੜੀ ਨੀਂਦਰ ਸੌਂ ਗਏ। ਉੱਠੇ ਤਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਹੌਲਾ ਫੁੱਲ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਤ ਕੀਤਾ। ਕੇਵਲ ਸਰੀਰਿਕ ਪੱਖੋਂ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਸਗੋਂ ਮਾਨਸਿਕ ਪੱਖੋਂ ਵੀ। ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਉਹ ਫ਼ਰਜ਼ ਅਦਾ ਹੋ ਗਏ ਜਾਪੇ ਸਨ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਲੈ ਲਏ ਸਨ। ਉਹ ਸਨ, ਦੇਸ਼ ਤੇ ਕੌਮ ਤੋਂ ਸਾਰਾ ਕੁਝ ਨਿਛਾਵਰ ਕਰਨਾ।

ਕਿਸੇ ਉਰਦੂ ਸ਼ਾਇਰ ਨੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀ ਇਸੇ ਮਾਨਸਿਕ ਹਾਲਤ ਦਾ ਵਰਣਨ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਮੁੱਖੋਂ ਅਖਵਾਇਆ ਹੈ:

ਅਜ ਮੁਝ੍ਹ ਸੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਅਮਾਨਤ ਅਦਾ ਹੂਈ, 

ਬੇਟੋ ਕੀ ਜਾਨ ਧਰਮ ਕੀ ਖ਼ਾਤਿਰ ਫ਼ਿਦਾ ਹੂਈ।

ਪਰ ਜੋ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਨ ਦੀ ਹਾਲਤ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੇ ਆਪ ਆਪਣੇ ਇਸ ਖ਼ਿਆਲ ਵਿਚ ਦੱਸੀ ਹੈ, ਉਹਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਜਵਾਬ ਨਹੀਂ। ਉਰਦੂ ਸ਼ਾਇਰੀ ਦੇ ਸ਼ੇਅਰ ਵਿਚ ਜਿਥੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ‘ਤੇਰੀ’ ਆਖ ਸੰਬੋਧਤ ਹਨ, ਉਥੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਿਚ ਉਹ ਸਾਰੇ ਵਾਰਵਰਣ ਨੂੰ, ਬਿਰਛਾਂ ਨੂੰ, ਪੰਖੇਰੂਆਂ ਨੂੰ, ਸਮੇਂ ਨੂੰ, ਜ਼ਮਾਨੇ ਨੂੰ, ਆਪਣੇ ‘ਮਿਤਰ ਪਿਆਰੇ’ ਵੱਲ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ-ਸੁਨੇਹਾ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਇਹ ਸੁਨੇਹਾ ਅੰਤਾਂ ਦੀ ਮਿਠਾਸ ਨਾਲ ਭਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ। ਦੁੱਖਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀਆਂ ਨੇ, ਆਪਣੇ ਫ਼ਰਜ਼ ਦੀ ਪੂਰਤੀ ਨੇ, ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੇ ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿਚ ਅਥਾਹ ਮਿਠਾਸ ਭਰ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ। ਕਿੰਨੇ ਮਿੱਠੇ, ਕਿੰਨੇ ਨਿਰਮਾਣ (ਮੁਰੀਦ), ਕਿੰਨੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਵਿਚ ਡੁੱਬੇ ਹੋਏ ਉਹ ਵਚਨ ਉਚਾਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨਾਂ, ਹੇ ਪਿਆਰੇ, ਰਜਾਈਆਂ ਰੋਗ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਨ, ਸਗੋਂ ਜੀਉਣਾ ਹੀ ਇਉਂ ਹੈ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਨਾਗਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਰਹਿਣਾ ਹੋਵੇ। ਪਿਆਲਾ ਖ਼ੰਜਰ ਵਰਗਾ, ਸੁਰਾਹੀ ਸੂਲੀ ਵਰਗੀ ਹੈ। ਹੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ (ਯਾਰੜਿਆਂ) ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੁਖ-ਆਰਾਮ (ਖੇੜੇ)ਨਹੀਂ ਚਾਹੀਦੇ, ਤੂੰ ਹੋਵੇਂ ਤਾਂ ਸੱਥਰ ਸੌਣਾ ਵੀ ਬਾਦਸ਼ਾਹੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਹੈ।

ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀ ਆਮ ਬਾਣੀ ਅਕਾਲ ਉਸਤਤਿ, ਚੰਡੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ, ਚੰਡੀ ਦੀ ਵਾਰ, ਉਗ੍ਰ ਦੰਤੀ, ਆਦਿ ਖੜਕਵੀਂ ਤੇ ਗਰਜਵੀਂ ਹੈ। ਪਰ ਇਹ ‘ਖਿਆਲ’ ਬੜਾ ਹੀ ਸੌਖਾ, ਮਿੱਠਾ ਤੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਦ-ਭਿੱਜਾ ਹੈ। ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਦਾ ਫ਼ਰਕ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਜੰਗਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਯੁੱਧਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਦੀ ਪੈਦਾਵਾਰ ਹਨ, ਇਹ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਭਾਰ-ਮੁਕਤ ਤੇ ਹੌਲੇ ਫੁੱਲ ਮਨ ਦੀ ਹੈ। ਕੋਈ ਮਹਾਨ ਤਪੱਸਵੀ ਹੀ, ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਵਾਰ ਦੇਣ ਮਗਰੋਂ ਇਹੋ ਜਿਹੀ ਮਾਨਸਿਕ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਉੱਤੇ ਪੁਜ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ।

“ਜਿਨਿ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਕੀਉ ਤਿਨ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਇਓ”.. ਇਹ “ਖਿਆਲ” ਉਚਾਰਣ ਵੇਲੇ, ਨਿਰਸੰਦੇਹ, ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨੂੰ ਪਾਇਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ। ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਿਚ “ਮਿੱਤਰ ਪਿਆਰਾ” ਕਿਹਾ ਹੈ🌹🙏🏼

🙏🏼🌹TODAY IS PIOUS 752nd BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF BHAGAT NAMDEV JI...🌹🙏🏼

Bhagat Namdev Ji (29 October, 1270 - 1350) (Gurmukhi: ਭਗਤ ਨਾਮਦੇਵ) was born on October 29, 1270 in the state of Maharashtra village of Naras-Vamani, in Satara district (presently called Narsi Namdev). His father, a calico printer/tailor, was named Damshet and his mother's name was Gonabai. Most of the spiritual message of Bhagat Namdev, just like our gurus', emphasized the importance of living the life of a householder (grist jeevan) and that through marriage and having a family one could attain enlightenment. He emphasized that the truest form of bandage or devotional meditation, is to enter matrimony and jointly seek the holy experience Waheguru.

Namdev was married before he was eleven years of age to Rajabal, daughter of Govinda Sheti Sadavarte. They had four sons and one daughter. Janabai, the family's maidservant and a bhagat and poetess in her own right, records the tradition that Namdev was born to Gonabai as a result of her worship of Vitthala in Pandharpur. This present temple building was constructed by Sardar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia and the tank by its side was repaired by Rani Sada Kaur, mother-in-law of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

God's name was always on the lips of Bhagat Namdev Ji. He was asked by the king to show miracles. He refused to do so and was thrown before a drunk elephant to be crushed to death. God saved His own saint. When the Fifth Guru, Guru Arjan dev compiled the Guru Granth Sahib, he decided to give some recognition to the saints of the Bhakti movement. This is the reason that Guru Granth Sahib contains verses of fifteen such saints. In some cases Guru Granth Sahib is the only voice remaining for such saints over the years.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ World Heart Day -September 29

World Heart Day is observed and ycelebrated annually on September 29, with the aim of increasing awareness of cardiovascular diseases and how to control them to negate their global impact. The international holiday was established by the World Heart Federation in collaboration with the World Health Organization. The president of the World Heart Federation from 1997 to 1999, Antoni Bayés de Luna, had conceived this idea. The first celebration of the annual event took place on September 24, 2000, and, until 2011, World Heart Day was observed on the last Sunday in September.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of death globally. An estimated 17 million people die from CVD every year. Coronary heart disease or strokes were the major causes of these deaths. A common misconception about CVD is that it impacts more people in developed countries who are more reliant on technology and lead sedentary lifestyles. But more than 80% of the deaths occur in middle-income and low-income countries. Fortunately, the main causes of cardiovascular disease are modifiable factors, which include lack of exercise, smoking, and a poor diet. Economic systems of countries are also majorly impacted by cardiovascular diseases — the cost of treatment is high and failure to treat the diseases timeously results in loss of productivity and long absences from work. 

More than 90 countries take part in this international observance every year. As a result, World Heart Day has proven to be an effective means for disseminating information about CVD. The high level of involvement from governments and organizations is most important for developing countries, which are heavily affected by these diseases.

Martyrdom Day of Shaheed Udham Singh - July 31

We are observing the Martyrdom Day of Shaheed Udham Singh on July 31. It is a day to remember the history of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and how the event changed the life of Shaheed Udham Singh. He is a historical figure from the pages of the Indian freedom struggle against colonial British rule. General Dyer was given the order to open fire on the crowd that had peacefully gathered to protest the arrest of pro-Indian independence leaders. Shaheed Udham Singh assassinated O’Dwyer, and he was hanged for murder in 1940. The day is observed every year to pay homage to the brave freedom fighters.

India under the rule of the British was not the economic powerhouse it used to be a few decades ago. Indians were not happy with this prospect, and the demand for freedom and self-governance became strong. When the demand for freedom is in the air, the efforts to suppress this demand will also increase. Jallianwala Bagh was a result of such an effort by the British. Reginald Dyer ordered soldiers to shoot at the peaceful crowd gathered around the Jallianwala Bagh to attend a religious festival and to protest the arrest of Dr. Saifuddin Kitchlew and Dr. Satya Pal. Soldiers obeyed the order and a massacre followed. Hundreds of helpless civilians died, and the brutality of the event caused ripples throughout the entire nation and even in Britain. The event became a cornerstone event for the freedom struggles of the nation against an Empire where it was said the sun never sets.

Shaheed Udham was a part of the crowd, and he escaped death narrowly. The sight of his countrymen dying around him helplessly tormented him for the rest of his life. He made it his mission to kill those who were responsible for the entire event, and he succeeded in 1940 when he assassinated Michael O’Dwyer. The life of Udham Singh ended in the same year when he was hanged for the assassination. But his life is immortalized in the minds of Indians who looked for retribution for the Amritsar event. He died with pride and fearlessness, and today we are celebrating his life and remembering the events that led him to his path.

Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ) (Wednesday, 23 July 1656 - Saturday, 16 April 1664) was the eighth of the Ten human form Gurus (divine messengers) of Sikhism.

Despite his young age, Guru Sahib used to delight the hearts of his disciples by his commentaries on the passages from the holy scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib. He reminded people to cherish the One God alone, asking them to discard passions and learn the virtues of patience, charity and love...

NATIONAL MANGO DAY- July 22

NATIONAL MANGO DAY 2022: Mango is one of the most-relished fruit, as well as, an integral part of Indian history. It is consumed worldwide. It can be relished in various ways, for example in ice creams, mousse, smoothies, and much more. To honour this exquisite fruit, National Mango Day is annually observed on July 22. On the special occasion of National Mango Day this year, let us take a look at the history and significance of the day.

The history of mangos goes back a long time. First cultivated around 5,000 years ago, this fruit is associated with Indian folklore. It has been said that a mango orchard was given to Lord Buddha so that he could rest under the shady tree. The fruit is called “mango" in English and Spanish-speaking nations and the name was derived from the Malayan word “manna," which the Portuguese changed to “manga" when they arrived in Kerala in 1490s for the spice trade.

Mango is also called the King of Fruit in India. People wait impatiently to enjoy this luscious and delicious fruit all year long. The respective fruit represents abundance and joy, due to which it is also used in a few religious festivities.

 International Chess Day- July 20

We celebrate International Chess Day on July 20, a day that was born from an idea the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) had. Chess lovers around the world celebrate their favorite game on this day each year, in a tradition spanning more than 50 years.

A popular theory credits the Indian war game — ‘chaturanga’ — as the inspiration for chess. People regard this as the precursor of chess as it had two key features found in later chess variants — different pieces had different functions and the victory was based on one piece (the king, in modern chess). Versions of this game reached the east, north, and west, taking on very different characteristics each time. A version of chaturanga or a later variant called ‘shatranj’ made its way into Europe through Persia, the Byzantine Empire, and the Arabian Empire.

It is believed that the reason chess pieces do not have distinctively human/animal features is because of the Islamic influence. Islam religion forbids making statues of people or animals, so this is probably why chess pieces are so vague looking.

The expanding Arabian empire took chess to North Africa, Sicily, and Spain by the 10th century. At the same time, chess was being spread around the globe, Eastern Slavs took it to Kievan Rus’ and the Vikings brought the game to Iceland and England.

Chess’s popularity can be attributed to the fact that it was associated with wealth, knowledge, and power. It evolved to resemble the current version of chess in England by the 15th century.

The game as we know it was soon established by an Englishman, adopting the black and white squares we know so well. Modern history shows many events and competitions in relation to chess and exciting new variations of the game, which added to chess’s popularity. Further advancements soon made this game what it is today — reliable timing mechanisms came around, rules of play were put into effect, and charismatic world players burst onto the scene.

The General Assembly proclaimed July 20 as International Chess Day to mark the date of establishment of the International Chess Federation (FIDE). Millions of chess players around the world celebrate this day and this game.

In 2009, when the United Nations General Assembly declared Nelson Mandela’s 18 July birthday Nelson Mandela International Day, Madiba called on the people of the world to honour him by helping their communities.

For the Nelson Mandela Foundation, our focus and messaging will be based on promoting community and home-based gardens, supporting fruit and indigenous tree planting, and creating awareness of the intersections between food security and climate change. In 2022 we will be highlighting the plight of food security and climate change with the tagline, “Do what you can, with what you have,

where you are.”

World Youth Skills Day-July 15

In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared July 15 as a World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship.

13 July: National French Fry Day

It is observed on 13 July to recognise a staple food in menus across the country. The day is generated to celebrate the amazing food dish. Frech fries come in various cuts and styles.

Of course, National French Fry Day was created in order to celebrate this amazing food dish! Whether you have French fries when you get McDonalds or you often cook your own fries at home, there is no denying that the addition of this potato dish can take any sort of meal to the next level. Therefore, it is only right that we have a National French Fry Day, so that we can indulge in as many French fries as we want and not feel guilty about it.

Malala Yousafzai - Malala Day- July 12th

Every year on July 12th, the world celebrates the birthday of Malala Yousafzai. At age 17, Malala was the youngest recipient ever of the Nobel Peace Prize. The day also honors the rights of children and women.

Malala Yousafzai was born in Mingora, Pakistan, on July 12th, 1997. Malala’s father was an educator, and as a result, she developed a thirst for knowledge. In 2007 the Taliban took over the city in which she lived and banned girls from attending school. As young as she was, Malala demonstrated fierce bravery by standing up to the Taliban. In 2009, Malala started a blog and wrote about life under Taliban rule. She also wrote about her desire to go to school. For three years, she and her father advocated for the right for girls to attend school.

On the morning of October 9th, 2012, gunmen from the Taliban shot Malala Yousafzai in the head. She was just 15 years old at the time. After four days in a military hospital, doctors transferred her to an ICU in Birmingham, England. Multiple surgeries and weeks of rehabilitative therapy later, Malala began attending school in Birmingham.

On her 16th birthday, the young lady traveled to New York and spoke at the United Nations. In 2013, TIME Magazine declared Malala one of the world’s most influential people. A year later, Malala was named a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Along with this prestigious honor, Malala has received the United Nations Human Rights Prize and The Liberty Medal. In 2017, Malala began her studies at Oxford. She currently resides in Birmingham and continues to fight for women’s empowerment and education.

World Population Day- 11th July

By resolution 45/216 of December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly decided to continue observing World Population Day to enhance awareness of population issues, including their relations to the environment and development.

The Day was first marked on 11 July 1990 in more than 90 countries. Since then, a number of a number of UNFPA country offices and other organizations and institutions commemorate World Population Day, in partnership with governments and civil society.

World Zoonoses Day -6th  July

World Zoonoses Day, which is celebrated annually on July 6 to honour the first immunisation against a zoonotic illness like Avian Influenza, West Nile Virus, or Ebola, is observed. On July 6, 1885, French biologist Louis Pasteur gave the first dose of the first vaccination against the zoonotic disease rabies. World Zoonoses Day holds significance in educating and raising awareness about zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans.  

Zoonotic diseases, commonly referred to as Zoonoses, are contagious illnesses brought on by pathogens that can spread from animals to people. These zoonotic germs can transmit through direct or indirect contact between animals and people and can be bacterial, parasitic, viral, or even unusual agents. Zoonoses make up a sizable portion of known infectious diseases including HIV, Ebola, rabies, etc.  

Since French biologist Louis Pasteur gave the first dose of the first vaccine against rabies, a zoonotic illness, on July 6, 1885, Zoonoses Day has been observed all over the world. Since then, Zoonoses Day has been observed annually to honour his contributions and spread awareness of zoonotic illnesses.

ਅੱਜ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਖੂਨਦਾਨ ਦਿਵਸ ਹੈ 🩸♥️- 14th June 2022

Today's World Blood🩸 Donor Day 2022 : Donating blood is an act of solidarity. Join the effort and save lives.

On World Blood Donor Day 2022 WHO is calling on people all around the globe to give blood in a gesture of solidarity.

Safe blood and blood products and their transfusion are a critical aspect of care and public health. They are key in treating people suffering from a range of diseases and as a result of accidents, natural disasters and armed conflict. The need for blood is universal, but access to it is limited – especially in low- and middle-income countries, where shortages particularly impact women and children as these tend to be the people who need blood most.

Becoming a regular voluntary blood donor is a simple but selfless step that everyone can take to strengthen their communities, support local health systems and save lives.🩸♥️

World Environment🌏 Day- 5 June, 2022🌳

Theme 2022 : Only one Earth

*In the universe are billions of galaxies,

In our galaxy are billions of planets,

But there is #OnlyOneEarth.

Let’s take care of it*

Where did #OnlyOneEarth come from?

“Only One Earth” was the slogan for the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm in 1972. This put sustainable development on the global agenda and led to the establishment of World Environment Day. Fifty years later, Sweden is hosting Stockholm+50 from 2 to 3 June, and World Environment Day on 5 June.

Why take part?

Time is running out, and nature is in emergency mode. To keep global warming below 1.5°C this century, we must halve annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Without action, exposure to air pollution beyond safe guidelines will increase by 50 per cent within the decade and plastic waste flowing into aquatic ecosystems will nearly triple by 2040.

We need urgent action to address these pressing issues, making “Only One Earth” and its focus on living sustainably in harmony with nature, as pertinent as ever.

Earth faces a triple planetary emergency:

the climate is heating up too quickly for people and nature to adapt;

habitat loss and other pressures mean an estimated 1 million species are threatened with extinction;

pollution continues to poison our air, land and water.

The way out of this dilemma is to transform our economies and societies to make them inclusive, fair and more connected with nature. We must shift from harming the planet to healing it.

The good news is the solutions and the technology exist and are increasingly affordable.

#OnlyOneEarth is the campaign for World Environment Day 2022. It calls for collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet.

Did you know?

We are using the equivalent of 1.6 Earths to maintain our current way of life, and ecosystems cannot keep up with our demands.

Our lifestyles are associated with two thirds of all greenhouse gas emissions - studies show that sustainable lifestyles and behaviours could reduce our emissions by 40 to 70% by 2050.

Sustainable consumption and production can drive economic development, mitigate climate change, positively impact health and pollution, and help alleviate poverty – potentially increasing incomes by an average of 11% in low- and medium-income countries by 2060, and 4% in high-income countries.

Stockholm+50, looking for a cure to our planet

Stockholm+50, held on 2 and 3 Jun, brings leaders and representatives from governments, businesses, international organizations, civil society and youth together in the Swedish capital. The meeting aims to drive action toward a healthy planet for the prosperity of all and will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment.

3 June - World Bicycle Day

The United Nations General Assembly declared 3rd June as international World Bicycle Day to recognize the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle, which are affordable, environmentally friendly fit sustainable means of transportation.

118th Birthday of revered Bhagat Puran Singh- 4th June

🙏🏼Today's 118th Birthday of revered Bhagat Puran Singh : Person of the century!

Bhagat Puran Singh (June 4, 1904 – August 5, 1992) was born in Rajewal (Rahon) Ludhiana district, Punjab. Born into a Hindu family, he was given the name Ramjidas as a child. Later, while still a child, he chose to become a Sikh. Though he never finished his basic schooling, he became a writer, a (self) publisher, an environmentalist, and a philanthropist. He is perhaps best remembered for the home he founded in Amritsar, India, named Pingalwara, a home which long after his death, is still tending to the castaways of society: the sick, disabled and abandoned forlorn people.

This year, Sikhs across the globe will be observing 416th Martyrdom Day, by installing Chabeel and serving rose milk and sweets to hawkers and passerby even in the scorching heat.  As the day is here, let us tell you about the heroic story of Guru Arjan Dev Ji. 

🙏🏻Guru Arjan Dev was born in Goindval Sahib, district Tarn Taaran, India April 15, 1563. His mother was Mata Bhani and his spouse was Mata Ganga. He succeeded his father Guru Ram Das in 1581, who was the fourth Sikh Guru. His maternal grandfather Guru Amar Das was the third Sikh Guru. After the death of Guru Arjan Dev, his son Hargobind Singh became the sixth Sikh Guru.

🙏🏻Guru Arjan Dev used to preach the message of God which was initiated by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Arjan Dev ji compiled the Adi Granth. This is the religious scripture of Sikhs. It consists of musical ragas and spiritual poetry. Adi Granth constitutes half of his teachings. It was installed at Harmandir Sahab. Later it was expanded and came to be known as Guru Granth Sahab. He contributed more than 2000 hymns, which is the largest collection in the Guru Granth Sahab.

🙏🏻Guru Arjan Dev laid the foundation stone of Harmandir Sahab in 1588. It is now famous as Golden Temple. He prepared the map also. There are doors on all the sides of the temple to signify the acceptance of all castes and religions. Guru Arjan Dev also reorganized Masand system, asking Sikhs for charity by donating one-tenth of their income (dasvand).

🙏🏻Guru Arjan Dev is also the author of the well-known and popular religious Sikh script Sukhmani Sahib Bani.

🙏🏻Jahangir the Mughal emperor of that time was afraid of the popularity and influence of Arjan Dev among people and also of the spread of Sikhism. In 1606 Arjan Dev was captured and imprisoned in Lahore Fort by Jahangir. He was forced many times but refused to convert to Islam. Arjan Dev blessed the emperor's rebellious son Khusrau.

International Day for Biological Diversity -22 May 2022

Theme 2022 ; Building a shared future for all life

As the global community is called to re-examine our relationship to the natural world, one thing is certain: despite all our technological advances we are completely dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter and energy, just to name a few.

The theme in 2022 is “Building a shared future for all life”. Fitting within the context of the ongoing United Nations Decade on Restoration.

When biodiversity has a problem, humanity has a problem

Biological diversity is often understood in terms of the wide variety of plants, animals and microorganisms, but it also includes genetic differences within each species — for example, between varieties of crops and breeds of livestock — and the variety of ecosystems (lakes, forest, deserts, agricultural landscapes) that host multiple kind of interactions among their members (humans, plants, animals).

Biological diversity resources are the pillars upon which we build civilizations. Fish provide 20 per cent of animal protein to about 3 billion people. Over 80 per cent of the human diet is provided by plants. As many as 80 per cent of people living in rural areas in developing countries rely on traditional plant‐based medicines for basic healthcare.

But loss of biodiversity threatens all, including our health.

Did you know?

Current negative trends in biodiversity and ecosystems will undermine progress towards 80% of the assessed targets of 8 Sustainable Development Goals.

Three-quarters of the land-based environment and about 66% of the marine environment have been significantly altered by human actions.

1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction.

🙏🏼🌺🌼Remembring and paying rich tributes to Ghadar Party's Youth leader #KartarSinghSarabha on 126th Birthday. We remain in debt to his Indomitable courageous sacrifice.

Sharing a glimpse of Shaheed Kartar Singh Sarabha's belongings at his house..🙏🏼

#KartarSinghSarabha, one of the most active member of the #GhadarParty, role model of #BhagatSingh. Went to #USA in 1912 to study Chemistry at the #CaliforniaUniversity of Barkeley.

Born in a sikh family and son of Sardar Mangal Singh of Sarabha Village in District Ludhiana of Punjab, S. Kartar Singh Sarabha was a great Indian revolutionary who is amongst the most famous and reputed martyrs of Punjab. He was an inspiration to several revolutionary and other freedom fighters, including Bhagat Singh, who referred to him as his "Guru". When the Ghadar party was founded in mid-1913 he became a key member and undertook the responsibility for the Punjabi language edition of the party’s mouthpiece. He also went out among the Sikh farmers and arranged meetings at which he and other Ghadar leaders made speeches urging them to take united action against British. He became one of the most active members in India’s Independence movement and was punished for his role in Lahore Conspiracy along with several others. He was 19-years-old and refused any counsel for himself during the trial of the case. The judge pronounced him "the most dangerous of all rebels" and observed that since he is very proud of the crimes committed by him, he does not deserve any mercy and should be sentenced to death. On 16 November 1915, Kartar Singh Sarabha walked to the gallows with a smile on his lips and twinkle in the eyes and singing patriotic songs he had composed. He soon became the symbol of martyrdom and many were influenced from his bravery and sacrifice.🌼🌺🌼🌺🌹🙏

This day celebrates our mother's unconditional love and each sacrifice they make for their children. People honour their mothers, mother-like figures in their life, and even grandmothers on this day.

Though one day is insufficient to express gratitude for every delicious meal she prepares and for all the times they've pushed us to be a better person, the day honours her in the most wonderful way.

💕🤱🏻Mother's Day History

Mother's Day is believed to have originated in America in 1907 when Anna Jarvis hosted a worship service in honour of mothers at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia. When her mother Ann Reeves Jarvis died in 1905, she voiced her desire for Mother's Day to be recognised as a national holiday. The inaugural Mother's Day was celebrated two years later. It was made a national holiday by US President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. While Mother's Day is observed on the second Sunday in May in India, it is celebrated on different days in different countries.

Maybe you bought a new product that broke within months of buying it. Or, maybe you hired someone to do a service but they failed to meet your needs.

Most companies try to avoid negative consumer experiences, as it reflects poorly on their business. They know they will also lose customers as a result. In most countries, there are laws that help to protect the rights of consumers. These companies must abide by these laws.

Many countries have variations of these rights. But most every developed country agrees that all consumers have a right to safety, information, choice, and the right to be heard.

Pi Day is on March 14, and any day that combines fun, education, and pie is a day worth celebrating! Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.

To learn about pi, we need to go back a few thousand years and learn about this elusive number. The value of pi was first calculated by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world.

Pi Day became an annual Exploratorium tradition that still goes on today, and it didn’t take long for the idea to grow exponentially, hitting a peak on March 12, 2009, when the U.S Congress declared it a national holiday.

Now, celebrated by math geeks all around the circumference of the world, Pi Day became a pop culture phenomenon, with several places partaking in the activities, antics, observations and all the pie eating they can.

NATIONAL DEWORMING DAY   

                (10/02/2022)

National Deworming Day 2022: Parasitic worms or helminths, present in the soil, enter people and animals through the soles of their feet. These organisms can also infiltrate our bodies through worm-infested food or by touching infected faecal matter. The worms attach to the intestines and cause weakness, anaemia, indigestion, weight loss, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and vomiting. The worms may even enter the brain. Dewormers paralyse or kill adult worms. National Deworming Day is observed on February 10, to make people aware of the importance of deworming, particularly for children from 1 to 19 years of age, who are the most vulnerable.

About 241 million children in India between 1 and 14 years of age are at risk of infections from Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) and resulting anaemia and other health issues. As per the National Health Portal (NHP) website, about 7 in 10 children between 6 to 59 months of age have anaemia, especially in rural areas. To remedy this situation, the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare launched the National Deworming Day initiative, in the year 2015. The first programme was conducted in February that year and has continued annually since.

Parasitic worms are a menace to society, both for people and animals. It is impossible to prevent worm infestation since children come in contact with soil while playing outside. Worm infestations can reduce the quality of life in children, stunt their physical growth and mental development. This may lead to poor productivity in schools, affect their attendance and hamper their education and future. Hence, timely and proper deworming of children is a necessity.

Feed the Birds Day is celebrated on February 3 every year and is part of the celebrations of National Bird-Feeding Month. Feeding the Birds Day is celebrated to bring attention to the extra help birds need right before spring, when their winter stores of food start running out.

Feed the Birds Day first occurred in 1994 to encourage people to feed birds in winter. Celebrated in February as part of National Bird-Feeding Month, this day is celebrated during the coldest part of the year when the snow is thick and food scarce.

February is also the last stretch of winter, which is when bird’s food reserves run low, and finding more becomes incredibly difficult. This is a dangerous time for birds because they need the extra calories that they get from food to keep themselves warm but don’t have the energy to go out looking for it. Most of the seeds they eat will be buried under the snow where they can’t get to it.

Feed the Birds Day is also a day celebrated to spread information about what birds eat so that they receive exactly the kind of food they need to survive.

 Lala Lajpat Rai led a non-violent march to protest and boycott the British Simon Commission but was unfortunately assaulted and injured by the police lathi charge that occurred against protestors.

India remembers Lala Lajpat Rai on his birth anniversary today, 28 January. Born in 1865 in Punjab’s Dhudike village, Rai was one of the most prominent leaders of India’s freedom struggle. He put up a tough fight against the British rule and was given the title of ‘Punjab Kesari’ or ‘The Lion of Punjab’ due his nationalism and zealous ideologies.

Rai is fondly remembered as Lal from the ‘Lal-Bal-Pal’ triumvirate (Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chandra Pal) and was a prominent leader of the Congress party.

In 1894, Lala Lajpat Rai also founded the Punjab National Bank (PNB) and Laxmi Insurance Company. In the year 1928, when the Simon Commission was set up by Britishers in India to keep a check on the nation’s political situation, Indians protested against the Commission.

Rai was gravely injured and eventually died due to a heart attack on 17 November, 1928.

The International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction is an opportunity to acknowledge the progress being made toward reducing disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health. The 2021 edition focuses on “International cooperation for developing countries to reduce their disaster risk and disaster losses.”  This is the sixth of the Sendai Seven targets.


The year 2021 promises to be a make or break year when it comes to delivering on the policy agenda agreed in 2015. Without real action on climate in the next ten years, extreme weather events will be overwhelming, especially for developing countries.


Disasters impact low- and middle-income countries disproportionately, particularly in terms of mortality, numbers of people injured, displaced and homeless, economic losses (as a percentage of GDP) and damage to critical infrastructure. We cannot eradicate poverty and hunger if we don’t step up investments in disaster risk reduction. International cooperation for developing countries through Official Development Aid (ODA) and capacity building is essential to boost disaster resilience in the face of extreme weather events and other natural and man-made hazards.
