 #WorldPhotographyDay2020 World Photography Day is celebrated so that people around the world can communicate their feelings and express themselves through the art of photography. The whole idea behind the day is to hold discussions about photography and encourage those who want to pursue photography as a hobby or career. At the same time, on this day the pioneers who inspired others to take up this skill are remembered for their contribution. It is said that the origin of the day lies in the invention of the Daguerrotype, a photographic process which was developed by Frenchmen Lois Daguerre and Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1837. According to reports, on January 9, 1839, the French Academy of Sciences made an announcement regarding the Daguerreotype. After 10 days, the French government got the patents and said that this invention was a gift to the world, without any copyright. Once again Very Happy World Photography Day

#respectWomens Respect & Support our Sisters/Friends I really feel bad to realise that still we are very selfish or insensible towards women. We still feel shy/uncomfortable to suggest others regarding the safe use sanitary napkin. Most the population are still unaware of such kind of safety measures specially in rural areas.  We are ignoring all these. it's just our ignorance, but now we are in the digital era, so we should upgrade our mentality. As per the research report says, Almost 79% women don't have an access and awareness to hygienic menstrual practice.

BENEFITS OF VAJRA GURU MANTRA  ཨོཾ་ཨཱཿཧཱུྃ་བཛྲ་གུ་རུ་པདྨ་སིདྡྷི་ཧཱུྃ༔ (Tibetan) Oṃ āḥ hūṃ Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hūṃ (Sanskrit) "It is said that the twelve syllables of the Vajra Guru Mantra carry the entire blessing of the twelve types of teaching taught by Buddha, which are the essence of His Eighty-four Thousand Dharmas. Therefore to recite the Vajra guru mantra once is the equivalent to the blessing of reciting or practicing the whole teaching of the Buddha. The wisdom mind of Padmasambhava is manifested in the form of the mantra; these twelve syllables are actually the emanation of His wisdom mind, and they are endowed with His entire blessing. The vajra guru mantra is Padmasambhava in the form of sound. So when you invoke Him with the recitation of the twelve syllables, the blessing and merit you obtain is tremendous. In these difficult times, it is appropriate to take refuge in the Vajra Guru Mantra." Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Trulshik Rinpoche says: ...
