@AksharRoop Here are the basic beliefs by BAPS organisation.

yeah it is a nice place

11:28 AM

Does anyone has ever visited akshardham either in Delhi or Gandhinagar?

@TheDictator yup, gandhinagar

it looks like an amusement park more than a temple..

the aura is different

@VineetMenon Delhi'shardham is having a status of world's biggest temple in the world

@VineetMenon Gandhinagar akshardham is quit good.. the musical fountain show called sat-chit-anand is one of its kind in the world....

@TheDictator Both many times.

@hims056 what do u like most there?

Want to but didn't got situation to do so.

And now stuck in banglore

11:33 AM

@AnkitSharma u should visit it some where... there is a boat ride in Delhi akshardham exhibition in which u can find the original culture of the india... really great one

Really want to.

@AnkitSharma u might often visit Delhi right?

2 times per year ;(

I am in mumbai from 2 years and now banglore.

@AnkitSharma you now Bangalore?

Yup :(

11:37 AM

My Bro is visiting there soon

U?

nice place.. why so sad?

me Hyd

Not so nice. I love city like Mumbai and delhi.

Easy travelling and cheap and tasty food

@AnkitSharma yah mumbai and delhi is better then banglore hyd .. even i prefer CHennai

Honestly, while I was staying there.. I felt like being in Heaven.

11:40 AM

I feel banglore is boring city. Bad food, costly movie ticket and travelling.

Good weather only.

There are too many attractions there both in Gandhinagar and Delhi. And everything is must watch.

However in Gandhinagar Sat Chit Anand Watershow is a great watershow which reveals India’s ancient secret of inner light through an Upanishadic story of Nachiketa, a nine year old boy, who bravely confronts Yamraaj, the God of Death.

While in Delhi the Boat Ride which is an experience of 10,000 years of India's glorious heritage.

@hims056 Nachiketa's story is a good story. I want to see some question related to it.

@AnkitSharma Yup. It's rally a great show. Just watch the trailer of the show.

@hims056 in office...will watch it later. Anyways thatx to make me think to go there soon.

Nobody is asking questions about the Great King Vikramaditya

I know very less about Him

11:58 AM

@AnkitSharma that fountain in Gandhinagar was created by the famour architecure Eve Pipa.. who has organised Beijing 2008 Olympics Closing ceremony..

@TheDictator musical fountain was wonderful..

yah

thats the one... only five of its kind in the world...

@Mr_Green or Betal... I loved that serial on DD

@VineetMenon mee too... Vikram Betal... and one movie on this was also made that casting Jitendra i guess

Actually, most of us know only the Betaal story related to Vikramaditya

but the fact is there are many great adventures done by Him

12:09 PM

@Mr_Green don't forget tenalliraman

but won

won't that be borderline history?

Navaratnas

:See Navaratna for the talisman, set of stones and gems, and Hind Rattan for the award. :See Navratnas for the corporations honored by the Indian Government Navaratnas Nauratan (Sanskrit dvigu nava-ratna- or "nine gems") was a term applied to a group of nine extraordinary people in an emperor's court in India. Some well-known groups are in the Raaj Sabha (court) of King Janaka, Emperor Vikramaditya (Chandragupta II) and in Emperor Akbar's "Darbar". In the court of Vikramaditya (Chandragupta Vikramaditya) Nine gems during the reign of Vikramāditya (Chandragupta II) * Kalidasa, the most...

no, I don't think so.

@VineetMenon when i was a kid i used to watch cartoon movie of tenali on POGO and Akbar birbal serial on DD

ta na na na na na na na na na na na.. Tenali!!

@TheDictator that goofy lean guy who would shake his head..

►

I love their belly shake hehe

12:23 PM

so do i... its one of my fav show..

But I watched it on Cartoon network not on Pogo

@Mr_Green i guess its started over CN and then also telecasted on POGO as well

@Mr_Green dude its the show of POGO

no man.. google.co.in/…

12:57 PM

THat show sucks for me. Too much comedy. Tenali was not a comedian, he was genious.

@AnkitSharma yah.. he was a truy genious.. like a birbal...

Anyways. My garandpa has told me 12 story of Vikramaditya ( except betal and tenali). They were great

i rember only few now.

One related to shani bhagvan.

I remember few tenalirama story too...one about vairagya and family.

Can you share here.. if you have time.

but the starting of the story didn't match with what I had known from childhood

I think there should be different way of accepting an answer because in this case, the OP is asking without knowing and the answer is not solving any solution but it is an explanation.

Q: Lord Ganesha with a trunk turning towards right

7:33 PM

I've rarely seen idols of lord Ganesha with his trunk turning towards right As far as I know, people say that Ganesha idols having trunk turning towards right should be taken extra care by worshiping everday and similarly they have to look after the idol carefully so why is that so? For example...
