The rise of Mahajanpad

 India and its history ,As one goes deeper ,it turns out be more royal and surprises you about so many aspect of our country . As I have never been so fond of history as a subject as I grown up ,I started like it as a story of our glorious  past and It intrigued me and I got to know so much which I didn't know earlier .This land has been rich from so many years and still continue to living that richness . The rise of Mahajanpadas has its own interesting story to know .                During Ancient times ,There were 16 Mahajanpadas which dates from 600BC to 325 BC. These mahajanapad had its own story . These were Anga ,Magadha ,Vajji ,Malla ,Kashi ,Kosala ,Vatsa ,Chedi ,Kuru ,Panchala ,Shurasena ,Matsya ,Avanti ,Ashmaka ,Gandhara and Kamboja . These Mahajanpadas were divided into two types of states - 1)Monarchical 2) Non Monarchical  . There were some states which was monarchial and those states were Anga ,Magadha ,Kashi ,Kosala ,Vatsa ,Chedi ,Shurasena ,Matsya ,Avanti ,Gandhara and There were some states which were Republican and those states were Vajji,Malla ,Kuru ,Panchal ,Kamboja ,Shakya ,Koliyas ,Moriya .  The political history of India from 6th century BC onwards is the history of struggle between four states and these states were Magadha ,Kosala ,Vatsa and Avanti for supremacy . But ultimately ,The Kingdom of Magadha emerged to be the most powerful one and succeeded in founding an empire . Magadha enjoyed a special advantage in military organisation . Magadha emerged as one of the most powerful kingdom during those times .                                                    I am glad to know the history which is so deep and initially rooted in the lap of our country .I am happy to know it because my paternal roots belong to magadh and my father told me lot of stories about it  . Indeed ,India has always been great and will remain forever .

A love letter to the year 2023 💌

Its so obvious that when a year is passing then its defintely a flow of emotions ,mixed feelings of keeping something with you and the idea of letting it go gives you euphoria packed with dichotomy .      Well ,Talking about the year 2023 ,Its been a good year with lots of ups and downs in my mental and  physical state . Looking back to the start of the year ...I find how things changes and how fast the day and night changes ... Those changes really put you through some amazing experience which you want to keep close  forever because you know that whatever the experience is be it good ,bad or ugly ...you can't create it again ..Every year gives you some moments of nostalgia ,some moments that you want to repeat again  ,while some moments you never want to visit ...A reflection of year gives you insight about how you were in the start of the year and what a year changes in your inner self nd in your sorroundings . I think that life is a beautiful journey mix...

A spiritual evening at Mangla Gauri

 It was 6th of June at 6'0 clock . I remember I got ready in my white cotton salwar kameez for the Matarani's Darshan at foothills of Mangla Gauri Hills. Well ,As a person I am not that showoff spiritual person like doing Puja for hours and hours ,chanting mantras for hours ..It's not me as a person but I do beleive in the endless power of the divine almighty .I love mythology which was a history once upon time but the time we are living now ,it's so ahead of those days so for us ,It became our mythology just to classified against the present history as Those 1000 years old also has nice story to cover . So what I understand out of it ,That life before 5000 years before is our mythology and years before 1000 is our history which is further classified. I as a person is very much into stories . I know there were lots of great stories which is unheard from our land which had vast territory before . I beleive in the power of divine ,I like to feel the power of divine. Among...
