She was a member of of the Planning Commission of India. she founded the Andhra Mahila Sabha (Andhra Women's Conference) in 1937. In 1953, she married C.D.

Bcz our conscious mind is asleep and our subconscious is always wide awake. So whatever noises happens during our conscious is “asleep” our subconscious will pick it up and we might remember the noise or sound we heard when we were sleep. if we heard it again while we're awake it will trigger you subconscious mind . When we are in deep sleep. If somebody is yelling at us calling by names. We don't show any reaction. The mind is not there to interpret our ego- our personality is not there. When we come back to waking state, our mind and body begins to appear in our consciousness. But again here a question arises; When you are not able to hear anything during sleep, how does our brain wake up when hearing the alarm sound? when we are awake there is a link between the auditory centre of the brain and the higher centres of our brain that process and understand this auditory information and then respond to it. When we go to sleep, this becomes delinked.   A really loud sound, however, will provide enough voltage and links and will wake us up. Other sounds that have very strong associations in our memory, e.g. our ringtone, alarm tone or a doorbell, may also provide enough voltage in the circuit even if they're a bit quieter. *LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻 ======================= *गच्छति* : Go =======================  🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ ======================= **How does a camera work? .** 📷📸  camera lens takes all the light rays bouncing around and uses glass to redirect them to a single point, creating a sharp image. When all of those light rays meet back together on a digital camera sensor or a piece of film, they create a sharp image. The **LENS** gathers light from the selected image and focuses the light on to the medium. The **IRIS** or diaphragm controls the amount of light that reaches the medium. The **SHUTTER** is a door or gate that opens to allow selected light to reach the medium and closes after a user determined time. The **MEDIUM** is the material or device where the light is transferred into a recorded image.

Initially Poison (KALAKUTA Vish) was ejected. The Devas prayed to Shiva and hoped that he would come to their rescue for the poison was the most effective fiery substance, which no one except Shiva could swallow. Lord Shiva held this poison in his throat and saved the mankind. The poison was so powerful that it turned lord Shiva’s throat in to blue color. From then he was also known as Neela kanta.  Coming back to Lord Shiva blue throat. The poison in the throat is always a burning sensation for lord Shiva. Lord Shiva loves to spend time in meditation (Dhyanam). But this burning throat is not allowing him to do his meditation. Then he ordered Nandi to sit in front of him and blow some air on to his throat. The air blown on to his throat relieves him from the burning sensation. From then Onwards, Lord Shiva does his mediation with the help of Nandi. It also said....When Lord shiv is in Dhyana Yoga...It is not possible to reach, so Nandi will receive the message that any one want to give.thats the reason still today we can see, people pass their message in the Nandi ears, which is in front of Lord Shiva. ======================= 🧬 *HEALTH CARE: HOME REMEDIES*🩺 ( *Note* : These home tips followed in villages/ancient traditions, it is up to you to use it or not🙏🏻) ======================= *Effective Home Remedies For Rosacea On Face*  *_Rosacea_* is a chronic skin disorder that is characterised by inflammation, redness of the skin and bumps.
