Full Shri Ramcharitmanas in Hindi Complete With Meaning (Ramayana)Vivek chan
Ramcharitmanas (Devanāgarī: श्रीरामचरितमानस, IAST: ŚrīRāmacaritamānasa), also spelt as Ramacharitamanasa, is an epic poem in Awadhi dialect of Hindi, composed by the 16th-century Indian bhakti poet Goswami Tulsidas (c.1532–1623). Ramcharitmanas literally means "Lake of the deeds of Rama". Ramcharitmanas is considered as one of the greatest works of Hindi literature. The work has been acclaimed as "the living sum of Indian culture", "the tallest tree in the magic garden of medieval Indian poetry", "the greatest book of all devotional literature" and "the best and most trustworthy guide to the popular living faith of the Indian people".
The core of the work is considered by some to be a poetic retelling of the events of the Sanskrit epic Ramayana, centered on the narrative of Rama, the scion of the family tree of Raghu of the Sun Dynasty and the crown prince of Ayodhya who is also considered in Hindu tradition as one of the Avataras of Vishnu. However, Tulsidas never alludes to Ramcharitmanas as being a retelling of Valmiki Ramayana. He calls the epic Ramcharitmanas as the story of Rama was stored in the mind (Mānasa) of Shiva before he narrated the same to His consort Parvati. Tulsidas claims to have received the story through his guru, Narharidas. Tulsidas was unconscious (Acheta, Devanāgarī: अचेत) and the story was stored in his mind (Mānasa) for long before he wrote it down as Ramcharitmanas. The epic poem is, therefore, also referred to as Tulsikrit Ramayana (literally, The Ramayana composed by Tulsidas).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Raksha Bandhan
A Hindu Festival
when
Brothers and Sisters
strengthen and celebrate their love and
commitment to each other.
3.
4. Raksha Bandhan
• Rakhi: The Thread of Love
• In India, festivals are the celebration of
togetherness, of being one of the family.
• Raksha Bandhan is one such festival that is all
about affection, fraternity and other sacred and
sublime sentiments.
• This is an occasion to lavish love, care, affection
and commitment towards each other and
• To strengthen families and develop a sacred feeling
of sisterly / brotherly devotion and oneness.
5.
6. The Bond of Protection
• At this festival, sisters tie a sacred thread
called a Raksha or Rakhi around the
wrist of their brother as part of a ‘Puja’ or
service of worship.
• What exactly is the power of this thread
and what does Raksha Bandhan mean?
• Raksha is the Sanskrit term for protection
and Bandhan signifies a tie or
relationship, so Raksha Bandhan in effect
signifies a bond of protection between
two people.
7.
8. Protection
• It is believed that when a woman ties a
Rakhi to the wrist of a man on the festive
day of Raksha Bandhan, he is then bound to
protect and help her throughout his life. But
the bond of protection is not a one way
process. The Rakhi is thought to have a dual
effect.
• For the man the Rakhi ensures protection by
the heavenly forces. In fact, during times of
war, women have tied Rakhis to unknown
soldiers so that they will be protected from
harm, and so they will be victorious and
successful in protecting the nation.

11. At Purnima (full moon)
in the month of Shraavana
(it usually falls in August)
the shops fill with Rakhi
and Greetings Cards
Sisters can buy
Ready-made
‘Raki’but
many prefer to
make their
own.
12.
13.
14. How Raksha Bandhan is celebrated.
• India is a vast country and the practises vary
slightly from one part to another but this sacred
thread is given as part of a ritual of worship. It is
said that the small thread is stronger than an iron
chain because it symbolises the unbreakable love
that brother and sister feel for each other.
• Preparations begin weeks before hand as the house is
cleaned and both sisters and brothers may want to wear
new clothes, so there is shopping to do – for clothes and
cards and the Rakhi itself to buy or make. The brothers will
be choosing or making presents to give their sisters too.
• The sisters may have her hands decorated with Mendhi
patterns.Mendhi patterns are popular for any special
occasion.
• As with most things, the more effort you put into
preparation, the better the result is likely to be.
15.
16. Practical Rituals of Raksha
Bandhan
• On the day of Raksha Bandhan, each sister will tie a raksha (rakhi
in Hindi) on the right wrist of her brother(s).
• Before that, she will perform the following rituals of puja because it
is a sacred ceremony. Puja is an act of Hindu worship.
• Some Hindus might describe the inner meaning of Raksha Bandhan
as a pledge to each other made in the ‘sight’ or ‘presence of God’
blessed by God – as a way also of strengthening their own inner
relationship with God and opening themselves to His Protection.
• All the things needed for the ceremony are laid
out on a tray beforehand.
• A lamp or candle is lit. Incense sticks are lit, all
making for an atmosphere of prayer and
worship.
• Puja often begins by ringing a bell or blowing a
conch-shell trumpet.

20. Celebrating Raksha Bandhan continued
• First the sister will make a mark on her brother’s
forehead with a coloured powder called kumkum. This is
usually made from powdered turmeric or saffron which is
yellow. (If it is mixed with lime (an alkali) it gives a bright
red colour. The shops sell powders of many other
colours too.)
• Kumkum is most often applied by Hindus to the forehead. The
reason for this particular location has to do with the ancient Hindu
teaching that “the human body is divided into seven vortices of
energy, called chakras, beginning at the base of the spine and
ending at the top of the head.
• The sixth chakra, also known as the third eye, is centered in the
forehead directly between the eyebrows and is the channel through
which humankind opens spiritually to the Divine”.
• Thus the kumkum is placed at the location of the body which Hindus
believe to be the most holy and it reminds them that we have two
outer eyes to see the outer physical world, but there is another world
– the inner spiritual world – which is also important. We need to
open our inner eye to see that.
21.
22.
23. Celebrating Raksha Bandhan – continued -
• In some families, the sister then places a flower garland
around her brother’s neck, a garland which she will
probably have made herself (girls who are old enough to
use a needle and thread). You can buy flowers to use to
make the garlands, in the market.
• The sister then may take the lamp or candle which is usually placed
on a tray used for worship – and circle this in front of her brother.
The candle-flame represents God’s Light and human aspiration - the
way our inner cry reaches up towards God in prayer.
• The flame also symbolises Agni, the Fire God who is invoked during
most ceremonies of worship in Hinduism. The sister may sing a
special puja song at that time. But since many of the sisters are
quite young children, not old enough to handle candles and incense
safely or know the puja songs, this part is not always carried out.
• Next is the most important part of the puja. The sister
ties the rakhi on her brother’s right wrist.
• Finally, the sister feeds her brother – usually placing a
whole sweet in his mouth.

30. Celebrating Raksha Bandhan – continued -
• A brother may place his hand on his sister’s head which is a
way of giving blessings and conveying the deepest love and
respect – a symbolic gesture to show he appreciates the
significance of the event and he really will be there for his
sister should she ever need his help.
• Then, in In return for his sister’s devotion, the brother
presents a gift to his sister.
• Later that day the whole family celebrate together. They may
go to visit- or welcome visiting– relatives and end the day
with a party or a special meal.
• There is usually a great atmosphere of joy,
oneness, friendship and love.
• This exchange of Raksha Bandhan’s is not restricted to
sister and brother. It represents a bond and a relationship so
it may be celebrated to strengthen (brotherly rather than
romantic) friendships, too.
