The Tilak ceremony is an important part of Rajput traditions, and it's a significant ritual in many Indian weddings, especially in Hindu and Rajput 🌟 .

The Tilak ceremony is done before the wedding. It's a formal ceremony between the two families, where they apply the tilak mark on the groom's forehead, symbolizing acceptance and blessings for the union. Plus, it's a way to invoke God's blessings for a smooth and happy marriage 🙏.

thread and velvet and the addition of the tassels. The rank of king
of Awadh was created by the British in 1819 for the then ruling

Thursday 12 August- World Elephant Day 2021:The day is celebrated to recognise the importance of elephants in our ecosystem It also focuses on spreading awareness about their conversation and protection.

Maharaja Bagh Singh Karjali V.No. In 1811 (E. No. 1754-1755), made a significant contribution in making of Hasthyayurveda book immortal by getting a Sanskrit handwritten replica of Hasthyayurveda composed by Shri Palakapya Muni.

:
For the protection healing and study of elephant's disease Brahma ji, the creator of the universe, created Palakapya Muni, because he was born in the Kapya gotra and followed elephants, he was called Palakapya.

In Tretayuga, King Rompad of Angadesh had a friendly relationship with King Dasharatha. For this reason, King Dasharatha preached Hasthyayurveda to his daughter named Shanta, near the capital named Champanagari of Rompad.

In Hasthyayurveda, a detailed description has been given of the origin of elephants, disorders arising in them, causes of disorders, symptoms, nature of disease, methods of treatment, process of making medicines, age, nature and care of elephants.
Recently this was translated from sanskrit to Hindi language and published by Maharana Mewar Historical Publication Trust, Udaipur.
The script on ancient knowledge system have been preserved for future studies and research on elephants.

आषाढ़ कृष्णा नवमी वि•स• 2078 (03 जुलाई 2021)
योगिवर्य महाराज चतुर सिंह जी बावजी की 92 वीं पुण्यतिथि पर एक विशेष संकलन :
धरम धरम सब है, पण बरताव अनेक
ईश जाणणो धरम है, जिरो पथ विवेक
बावजी का अधिकांश समय उनकी समाधि स्थली नऊवा मे बीता। आप यही पर कुटिया मे रहकर योग साधना और साहित्य सृजन मे रहते थे साक्षात्कार के पश्यात सात वर्ष तक आपने अपना दिव्य अनुभूतियो को अपने साहित्य मे लिखा तथा वहाँ आने वाले भक्तों व जिज्ञासुओं को उसका रसास्वादन कराया। जब कभी वे उदयपुर आते तो करजाली की हवेली के तारा की ओवरी मे ही निवास करते तथा साधना करते। उदयपुर मे यही उनकी साधना स्थली रहती थी। उन्होंने कभी गुरु बनने की नही सोची नही अपने चेले चाटी खड़े किए। यह बात अलग है कि इनके भक्तों ने इन्हें 'गुरुदेव' समझ कर ही संबोधित किया है। लोग जब अपनी समस्याएं लेकर आते थे वे उनके मत के आधार पर समाधान बताते थे फिर वे चाहे वैष्णव हो या शाक्त, शैव हो या आर्य समाजी, ईसाई हो या मुस्लिम अथवा सिक्ख या जैन सभी संतुष्ट होकर अपनी जिज्ञासा शान्त करके ही जाते थे। उन्होंने कभी जिज्ञासुओ को यह नही कहा कि 'ऐसा मैं कह रहा हूँ' अपितु वे हमेशा यही कहा करते थे कि धर्म ग्रंथों मे ऐसा निर्देश है। इससे उनकी निरहंकारिता और विद्वत्ता प्रकट होती है। बावजी ने प्रभु का आभार व्यक्त करते हुए अपने विचार व्यक्त किए है। वे लिखते है- इस धरा पर जन्म लेकर मैंने जो जीवन जिया वह है ईश्वर! आप की कृपा थी। योग और दर्शन देकर आपने मुझे योग्य बनाया, मैं इस मृत्यु लोक मे भी अमर हो गया। हे नाथ मैं आपसे और क्या मांगू बिन मांगे ही मुझे अभयदान मिल गया। बावजी वास्तव मे त्रिकालदर्शी थे उन्हें यह ज्ञात हो गया था कि वह समय आ गया है जब यह नश्वर शरीर इस संसार से विदा होने वाला है। यह हमें इस घटना से ज्ञात होता है कि विक्रम संवत 1986 मे अपने आखरी समय से पूर्व बावजी ने 'कपिल सूत्र' मंगवाने हेतु 'मद्रास लाइब्रेरी' को पत्र लिखा। जिसमे लिखा कि यदि आपके यहां 'कपिल सुत्र' हो तो आषाढ़ कृष्णा नवमी के पहले भेजे या पत्र द्वारा सूचित करें, नही तो बाद मे इसकी आवश्यकता नही होगी। ठीक उसी दिन उनका स्वर्गवास हो गया। बाद मे उस लाइब्रेरी से पत्र आया कि आपने पुस्तक के लिए लिखा पुस्तक प्राप्य है। साथ ही अपने आषाढ़ कृष्णा नवमी के बाद पत्र नही लिखने को कहा था परन्तु हम अपना कर्तव्य समझ कर आपको यह पत्र लिख रहे है। मृत्यु से पूर्व ही उन्हें मृत्यु का आभास हो गया था।
