Lord Krishna’s Janmastami. Know more about his glorious legacy.

by theparliamentnews.com 7 September 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

Krishna Janmashtami, the joyous celebration of Lord Krishna’s birth, is in full swing, with the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple in Mathura radiating an aura of divine fervor. As Hindu devotees from across the globe gather to mark this auspicious occasion, the spotlight today is on the spirited Dahi Handi festivities that pay homage to Lord Krishna’s playful childhood antics.

This year, Krishna Janmashtami spans two consecutive days, September 6 and September 7, marking Lord Krishna’s 5250th birth anniversary according to Vedic chronology. The festivities commenced with great enthusiasm at 11:57 pm on September 6 and will conclude at 12:42 am on September 7.

Dahi Handi, also known as Gopalakala or Utlotsavam, is a cherished cultural tradition, particularly in Maharashtra, that mirrors Lord Krishna’s endearing title as “Makhan Chor” or butter thief. In his youth, Lord Krishna, with the help of his friends, would mischievously pilfer dahi, butter, and other dairy treasures from earthen pots hung from the ceilings of neighboring homes.

Dahi Handi celebrations reenact this delightful episode from Krishna’s life. Across Maharashtra and various parts of India, Dahi Handi competitions take center stage. The essence of the tradition lies in filling an earthen pot with milk, curd, butter, or other dairy delights. A spirited group of participants forms human pyramids, reminiscent of Krishna and his friends, to reach the coveted matka (earthen pot). Armed with a sturdy stick, they aim to break the pot and claim victory. The team that successfully reaches the pot first and shatters it emerges triumphant in this heartwarming contest.

The resonating cheers and vibrant energy surrounding Dahi Handi competitions are a testament to the enduring appeal of Lord Krishna’s youthful adventures. These celebrations not only honor the beloved deity but also strengthen the cultural fabric of the communities that come together to partake in the festivities.

As the world witnesses the joyful revelry of Krishna Janmashtami 2023, it is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Lord Krishna and his ability to inspire devotion, camaraderie, and merriment among his devoted followers. The Krishna Janmabhoomi temple in Mathura continues to be a beacon of spirituality, drawing devotees from all corners of the globe to celebrate the birth of the eternal god-child, Krishna, who forever resides in the hearts of millions.

Wish You Happy Janmashtami to All…

Teachers are often referred as the builders of society, and for a good reason. They are the ones who impart knowledge, values, and life skills to the younger generation. Teachers not only educate but also inspire, mentor, and guide their students on their journeys of self-discovery and personal growth. We should understand that even after so many generations we should respect the teachers who still bother putting in the values in us that is passed on from generations.

In the face of challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers adapted to new teaching methods, including remote and online learning, to ensure that education continued. They showed resilience, dedication, and creativity in navigating these uncharted waters. As we honor them on Teacher’s Day 2023, it’s essential to recognize their unwavering commitment to their students’ well-being and education.

The Impact of Teachers

Teachers not only impart knowledge but also play a pivotal role in shaping the character and values of their students. They instill qualities like discipline, empathy, and resilience, which are essential for success in life. The impact of a good teacher extends far beyond the classroom, influencing career choices, personal development, and even societal change.

Expressing Gratitude

Teacher’s Day is the perfect opportunity to express our gratitude to the educators who have left an indelible impact on our lives.

Watch out for these Dangerous Apps; New China-linked spyware is targeting Android users through fake Signal and Telegram apps.

by theparliamentnews.com 4 September 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

If you have downloaded any of these apps, delete them immediately. Both of these are fraudulent messaging apps have been developed to provide a user experience that is identical or similar to that of Telegram and Signal. However, due to the fact that they are dangerous apps that are capable of stealing your data, Google has deleted them from the Android Play Store.
Signal plus Messenger and FlyGram are the names of the two mobile applications in dispute. Afore Google removed it, the former had been available on the Play Store for more than nine months and had approximately one hundred users download it. The same group was responsible for the creation of FlyGram, which was discontinued in the year 2021. Despite this, both applications may still be downloaded from third-party websites as well as the Samsung app store.
If one of these messaging apps has been installed on your device, Signal insists removing both of them immediately and ensuring that your account has been disconnected from the false apps before doing so. People who have connected an infected device to their genuine Signal or Telegram account are vulnerable to having their sent and received messages, as well as their contact list, sneaked on by malicious actors using a tool called Signal Plus.
Due to this, the users must more likely only depend on official apps for these applications. Also, it is advised that users must continue to check the list of your Connected Devices every few months to verify that no additional devices that you are unfamiliar with have obtained access to your account. Because Telegram and Signal are marketed as messaging applications that prioritize users’ privacy, it’s possible that users may become frustrated if they discover that their privacy has been violated in some way.

Formerly Twitter, X Unveils Privacy Policy Update, Includes Biometric Data and Career-Education Info Collection.

by theparliamentnews.com 3 September 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

In a significant privacy policy update, X, formerly known as Twitter, has announced its intention to collect users’ biometric data, job history, and education background, which will take effect from September 29. This move is part of the company’s broader strategy to create new applications and integrations while ensuring user safety and platform security.

X’s updated policy states, “Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes.” For premium users, biometric data collection will be an option, requiring submission of government identification and an image to add an additional layer of verification. The biometric data collected may include information from both the provided ID and images for matching purposes.

The primary objective of this biometric data collection is to enhance security on the platform, combat impersonation attempts, and ensure that accounts are linked to real individuals. While concerns about privacy are valid, X aims to utilize this data for the safety and identification of its users.

In addition to biometric information, the updated policy also addresses the collection of users’ job and education histories. X intends to use this data for recommendations related to job opportunities, sharing information with potential employers during job applications, assisting employers in finding suitable candidates, and delivering more relevant advertising to users.

Although the term “biometric” is not explicitly defined in the policy, it generally refers to automated technologies such as facial recognition software, fingerprint scanning, and palm or iris scanning, which are used for authenticating and verifying unique human body characteristics.

These policy changes coincide with X’s recent introduction of a feature allowing verified organizations to post job listings on the platform. This strategic shift aligns with Elon Musk’s vision to transform X into an “everything app” offering a wide range of functionalities beyond traditional social media.

While concerns regarding data privacy persist, X’s updates reflect its commitment to enhancing user security and delivering more tailored experiences to its audience in line with the company’s evolving objectives.
