jagannath puri Rath Yatra

Sri Sri Puri Jagannath Rath Yatraor Chariot festival of Jagannath Puri is one of the largest religious ceremonies in Bharat (India) and the world too. Puri Jagannath Rath Yatra dates on 3^rd July , Sunday, this year 2011. Puri Rath Yatra commemorates the significant journey of Lord Krishna from Gokula to Mathura. This annual festival is celebrated on Ashad Shukla Dwitiya (second day in bright fortnight of Ashad month).

As a part of Rath Yatra, the sacred wooden idols Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Mother Subhadra are taken out from the sanctum sanctorum of world famous Puri Jagannath temple in a large procession of millions to the Gundcha Temple and remain there for seven days. In three separate Chariots, eye balls of the devotees complete their journey in phases capturing all attentions for more than 8 hours. Then the deities are returned again to the Puri Jagannath temple through a Return Charriot Yatra (Ultto Ratha) after observing certain rituals. The return journey in Puri is also known as Bahuda Yatra.

For the rath yatra, three huge chariots – each with about a dozen wheels up to 7 feet in diameter – are ritually pulled through the streets, from the Jagannath temple to the temple of Gundicha Mandir. The Raths are replicas of the Jagannath temple and each of them carries an idol – of Jagannath in Nandighosa Ratha, of his brother Balbhadra in Taladhwaja Ratha and his sister Subhadra in Dwarpadalana Ratha.

Rituals of Puri Ratha yatra begins formally on Akshay Tritiya through the Chandan Yatra, when the making of the chariots and sandalwood paste offering to the deities are started.

All are now set to have a glimpses on to Lord Jagannath, with a chanting… “Jagannatha Swami, Nayana Patha Gami, Bhabatu Me” – Oh! Lord please be visible once before my eyes !!!…..

It is believed that the rebirth cycle is ceased as one sees the Lord in his Charriot at Puri Ratha Yatra. “Rathapori Vamanm dristva Punarjanma na vidyatee”…..

The Railways authority in India has arranged specials trains for Ratha Yatra Festival this year also like previous years. A big arrangements are aslo done by the respective authorities to facilitate the thousands of pilgrims already reached Sri Dham Puri. Hundreds of NGOs including Bharat Sevashram Sangha run their Seva Works for the thousands pilgrims assembled in thousands and lakhs every year.

Some 5000 devotees took part on Saturday morning, during the whole day in “Gundicha Marjan”, cleaning of Gundicha Temple premises, where the Lord Jagannath will reach in some moments with his elder brother and younger sister through the auspicious Rath Yatra, which is nothing but the direct interaction of Lord of this Universe with his devotees to get this chance in streets to the hearts.

The chariot Festival is now considered as a major festival in the Global hindus as every continent and mojor cities are absorved with the fervor o Charot estival of lord Jagannath. ISKCON is the main organisation for for this. Hare Krishana !!!

tour de france 2011

LES HERBIERS, France — Jonathan Vaughters couldn’t hold back his smile Thursday as he discussed the Garmin-Cervélo lineup for the 2011 Tour de France.

Courting the press in a French elementary school library, because the team hotel didn’t have enough space to accommodate the media, Vaughters was like a proud professor ready to watch his understudies to take on the world.

“This is the best team we’ve ever fielded for a Tour, without a doubt,” Vaughters said. “Our ambitions are higher than they’ve ever been before, but we have the capability to aim higher than ever before.”

To his right were reigning world champion Thor Hushovd and sprinter ace Tyler Farrar and to his left were Americans Christian Vande Velde and Dave Zabriskie. The rest of the squad, perhaps appropriately enough for cycling’s “clean team,” were undergoing blood screenings at the nearby hotel as part of the UCI’s testing program for the biological passport.

Vaughters said Garmin-Cervélo brings a well-rounded squad that can target stage victories in all terrain as well as aim for a high GC placing with Vande Velde and Canadian Ryder Hesjedal, who rode to a surprising seventh last year.

The team’s first goal is to win a stage, something that’s eluded them so far through three Tours.

“Although we’ve had some success in the Tour, we’ve yet to win a stage,” he said. “That’s our first objective. We’ve got to get that monkey off our backs.”

Vaughters insisted that the team will take an “all for one, one for all” mentality into the Tour. Hushovd and Farrar are expected to split up the sprint stages while Vande Velde and Hesjedal can share the leadership on the GC front. Garmin-Cervélo will search out stage wins in the sprints and the transition stages before hoping for the best in the GC battle in the Pyrénées and the Alps. Vaughters promises that the team will ride as a unit.

“We will support the best-positioned rider in each scenario we will find ourselves,” Vaughters explained. “Everyone here is professional and we’re all working for the same goals. We can adapt to the race conditions and ride together. We will be chasing stage wins and the yellow jersey.”

Denise Richards adopts a baby

Denise Richards has adopted a baby girl domestically, according to her rep.

“Eloise Joni Richards is named after Denise’s mom (Joni), and Denise and her daughters Sami and Lola chose the name Eloise,” a rep for the actress told People. “Denise and Eloise’s big sisters couldn’t be happier and feel incredibly blessed.”

Richards, who has two daughters with former spouse Charlie Sheen, thanked her fans for their support on Twitter. “Thank you all for your sweet messages,” she tweeted. “The girls and I are over the moon and so is my dad Grandpa Irv...xo.”

Someone strolling the Lower East Side of Manhattan is liable to spot a flier plastered with the face of a pugnacious Boston Terrier. That’s Monkey, the nominal guard dog of Any Old Iron, a year-old men’s clothing store that has quickly become a destination for shoppers, as well as a fixture on the local party scene. But what even most fans of the store don’t realize is that Any Old Iron is, in a sense, a gateway to a Web site.

A lot of companies these days are founded as Web businesses, and many physical stores end up growing substantial Web sales over time. What’s a bit unusual about Any Old Iron is that the company’s Web site has been intended as the main engine of the business from day one — even though almost all of the investment and attention has been focused on the store. “Our strategy is to build credibility and cachet through the store,” said Christopher Melton, an arts-oriented entrepreneur who helped found the company last year along with Andrew Clancey, a celebrity stylist. “We plan to open a second store in L.A. and then two more stores in other locations. And then from there it’s all Web.” Indeed, the Manhattan store isn’t even expected to be profitable on its own. In a sense, it’s a loss-leader — the rent money is really an investment in Web advertising, said Mr. Melton.

independence day, 4th of july

A senior Democratic aide tells NBC, "At 9:30 Senator Reid will go to the floor to announce that the Senate will forego its scheduled recess for the week of July 4th and stay in session to continue forging a deal to cut the deficit and create jobs."

UPDATE: Reid announced on the floor that the Senate will return for votes on the evening of July 5 and remain in session for the rest of the week. Negotiators will spend the week continuing work on a deficit reduction deal with the House and the Obama administration in advance of an August 2 debt ceiling deadline.

UPDATE II: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell challenged the president Thursday to outline his debt plans, inviting Obama to speak to Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill and "explain his plans to hike taxes by hundreds of billions," per McConnell's office

Canada Day 2011 fireworks

Canada Day 2011 fireworks in Toronto will be happening on a grand scale in a few locations, not to mention the various shows taking place in backyards and neighbourhood parks across the city. A notable absence this year, however, will be the annual show at Downsview Park, which has been cancelled on account of theTragically Hip-headlined concert taking place there throughout the day on Friday.

Here's a quick rundown of the other fireworks displays in Toronto on Canada Day, all of which take place on Friday, July 1st (just to confirm).

Ontario Place
Although the Victoria Day fireworks were a no-go at Ontario Place this year, the western waterfront will once again be home to a music-based show starting at 10:30 p.m. Always an impressive display, the added bonus this year is that admission to the grounds is free on account of the park's 40th anniversary celebrations.

Woodbine Beach / Ashbridges Bay
In conjunction with the Red, White, and Vinyl Canada Day Festival, Woodbine Beach will host a fireworks display decidedly bigger than the one that took place on Victoria Day. Prior to the pyrotechnics, there will be a number of events and musical performances, including Alannah Myles, who somehow still manages to book shows. Go for the fireworks, not the music. Start time is 10 p.m.

Mel Lastman Square
Making up for the lack of fireworks at Downsview Park is the annual Canada Day festivities at Mel Lastman Square, which will be preceded by musical performances. The show is free of charge and gets under way at 8 p.m. with fireworks at 10:15 p.m.

Canada's Wonderland
As usual, those looking to fork over some bucks can take it the sprawling show at Canada's Wonderland. Single day admission to the park is $44.99, and the fireworks run at around 10 p.m., weather permitting.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Hospitalized

Earlier this week, Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized in London after what's being called a possible suicide attempt involving pills. On Tuesday night, The Tudors star (who has battled alcoholism for years) was found on the floor of his home by paramedics who were responding to an emergency call. However, when Rhys Meyers came to, he apparently refused treatment for more than thirty minutes and the paramedics had to call the police. Eventually, he was transported to a hospital nearby. He was released the next morning and a Scotland Yard spokesperson told People, "We can confirm we were called by the London Ambulance Service to an address in NW8 to report to a man refusing treatment. Police attended, and the man was taken by ambulance to a central London hospital. That was the end of our involvement." Rhys Meyers was discharged from the hospital early Wednesday morning, and when reporters from the British newspaper, The Sun, spotted him exiting the building and questioned him about the reason for his treatment, he said "no comment."

Earlier this month, Rhys Meyers checked into a five star rehabilitation facility in South Africa, and the stay marked his fifth effort at reaching sobriety. There is no word on whether or not he will enter treatment for a sixth time.

delly belly transformers 3 review

Aseem Chhabra feels that Delhi [ Images ] Belly will appeal hugely to some audiences and not much to others, proving that the age of the pan-India audience is dead. Post YOUR reviews here!

Many years ago an American Jewish woman expressed surprise when I told her that I had seen Woody Allen's [ Images ] Annie Hall as a teenager in India [Images ] and I had found the film very funny. She was baffled how I could have gotten the New York-specific humour in the Oscar-winning film such as in the scene when Diane Keaton's [ Images ] Annie orders pastrami on white bread with mayonnaise. I have since learned it is a Jewish tradition that pastrami should only be eaten on rye bread with mustard.

I have also learned that humour is relative, culture and age specific. Humour can be intelligent. As I have lived in New York, I have learned to admire and see the subtle nuances in Allen's films. And humour can be smart. I find Michael Winterbottom's new film The Trip exceptionally clever and funny, albeit laced with sadness. Slapstick humour works with large audiences, though usually not with me. But then I always laugh out loud in theatres when characters bump into walls (Fairuza Balk in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous), or into electric poles (the overweight Cyrus Broacha [ Images ] in Krishna D K's and Raj Nidimoru's 99), or -- my favourite -- when Michael Palin's Ken in A Fish Called Wanda accidentally kills the three Yorkshire terriers one by one!

I know humour can be crass, crude, in poor taste, and yet the Golmaal and Dhamaal franchises continue to make a lot of money. I have learned to accept the fact that in this world of ours some people can laugh and connect with Allen's lost, insecure souls as they meander through western cities (or lately in Europe), while others can thoroughly enjoy the loud-mouth over-the-top characters played by Arshad Warsi [ Images ], Javed Jaffrey [ Images ] and Riteish Deshmukh [ Images ] in Double Dhamaal! It is all humour -- all relative and subjective!

Which brings me to this week's new release, Delhi Belly, the third in a line of 'independent' films produced by Aamir Khan's [ Images ] production house (the first two being Peepli Live and Dhobi Ghat).

Delhi Belly is a slick, madly crazy production that is mostly funny -- although the humour will more likely appeal to the 20-something and perhaps 30-something public school educated, English speaking, big city audience that the film targets through its previews, videos and playful songs (from a spoof on K L Saigal's voice, to one that may or may not allude to a curse word). But I know for sure that my mother and just about everyone of her generation will be totally turned off watching Delhi Belly.

Delhi Belly is not at all in the same territory as Double Dhamaal. Its success -- and I hope the film works at the box office -- will make it clear that the idea of the pan-India audience is dead. There are many Indias watching many different cinemas. There is the India that follows Bhojpuri films, while another watches Punjabi fare with Gurdas Mann and Jimmy Shergill [ Images ]. There is an India that hugely worships Rajnikanth [ Images ] and another that totally rejects his work. Endhiran, dubbed in Hindi as Robot, was a box office disaster in North India.

There is an India that will appreciate Delhi Belly, and I credit the always astute Aamir Khan for understanding that fact. Khan put his money behind a project like Peepli Live, written by two unknown writers from Delhi -- Anusha Rizvi [ Images ] and Mahmood Farooqui. This time also he has taken the risk of investing in a fresh script by a young unknown Los Angeles-based scriptwriter Akshat Varma. Needless to say the risk was worth taking.

Happy Doctor’s Day!

In India, Doctor’s Day is celebrated on July 1 to honour the legendary physician and second chief minister of West Bengal, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy (July 1, 1882- July 1, 1962) and other medical professionals who have devoted their lives towards helping others through their profession.

In today’s day and age doctor’s play an important role in our lives – from being a confidante to our health problems, to a healer when we are down and from being a life saver during our trysts with death to being a caregiver to our loved ones.

Hence, in commemoration of this day, some of our readers, in a bid to acknowledge their doctors dedication, have shared with us how they have impacted their life.

Hazel Pinto, homemaker
I am regular with my check-ups so my doctor knows me very well and we share an excellent rapport. I won't be able to drop by her clinic this Doctor's Day but I will definitely make a phone call and wish her.

Faye Monteiro, music teacher
I have fond memories of my dentist who is a very nice lady. In fact when I was young, unlike other children, I used to look forward to visiting her. I am thinking of dropping by her clinic with flowers this Doctor's Day to wish her.

Nikita Kothari, homemaker
We ran into an emergency last year, my husband had to go in for his bypass owing to his deteriorating cardiac conditions. It was only because of a doctor that we could even lift him off a cardiac arrest at Cumballa that fatal night. Dr. Ramakank Panda is indeed a messiah for us, and after 16 hours of anxiety, my husband is back to being his gregarious self again. We were scared and apprehensive, but the post operative care by Dr. Panda and his team relived us of our tensions. This Doctor’s Day, I would like to acknowledge the impact they have made in my family’s life.

Narain Singh Rathore, retired
I come from a village where the average age is 60 because of the lack of doctors and awareness about diseases. I am 87 and though I am diabetic and have weak joints, I am living a perfectly healthy life. All this is thanks to my doctors as he has educated me about my problems, which has helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle, his medication and physiotherapy exercises have solved my joint problems and a hearing aid given by hum has enhanced my hearing. However, I feel their biggest contribution is that they have brought up the average age of the country.

Shilpa Keswani, student
My orthopaedic doctor has made the maximum difference in my life by raising an alarm regarding my low calcium levels at the right time. He has not only averted the potential osteoporosis, but also helped me secure a healthy life through exercise and a proper diet.

ramesh vanzale news dead wanjale

The most popular activist of MNS Ramesh Wanjale, also known as the Gold Man passed away in Jahangir hospital in Pune in the state of Maharashtra on10th June 2011. Wanjale was the only Pune MLA, who was elected from the Khadakwasala constituency in the year 2009.

The 45 year old MNS activist was admitted to the hospital after he had a cardiac arrest. Doctors in the hospital had tried hard to revive him but unfortunately, he had failed to respond to the treatment.

After Wanjale had complained of chest pain, he was taken to Joshi hospital and when his condition had worsened, he was shifted to Jahangir hospital. The MNS activist was known for his popularity for having a big heart.

He was know as a hard worker and had never said no to people who had invited them to their weddings. Wanjale used to attend more than 20 to 30 weddings in a day as he did not like to disappoint anyone. May be the stress of attending all the weddings in the hot sun may have led to the heart attack. Wanjale has left behind his wife , two daughters and a son. After the news of his hospitalization had spread several people had flocked to the hospital to enquire about his condition.

Yoga guru Ramdev, who is on an indefinite hunger strike against black money and corruption, today made public details of his business empire worth over Rs 1,100 crore, claiming everything was in order.

On his sixth day of fast, Ramdev addressed a press conference here during which his close aide Balakrishna said that the capital involving the four trusts run by him totalled Rs 426.19 crore while the expenditure incurred on them amounted to Rs 751.02 crore.

“We believe in transparency in work and in financial matters. There is proper audit of all our firms and companies. As per rules, government renews our trusts after every two years only when our audits are clean. What has come and what has gone, who has given it and how was it spent, is all maintained,” Balakrishna said.

The move to make public assets followed questions raised by Digvijay Singh and other Congress leaders who wanted a thorough probe into the source of the wealth acquired by Ramdev in the last five years.

brazil vs romania 2011 online

Brazil v Romania preview

By Thales Machado 2011-06-07 10:58:00

7

Henrique and Sandro may play tonight - Mowa Sports

It may be an important game in Brazil's preparations for the Copa America, but the game against Romania will be all about Ronaldo.

Mano Menezes confirms 90% of the team: by Thales Machado for Sambafoot, direct from Sao Paulo.

The legendary striker, who wore the number nine for Brazil in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 World Cups, and as well as winning the competition in 2002 was an unused squad member in 1994, will make a cameo appearance for 15 minutes, between the half hour mark and half-time.

Ten players will have the honour of being on the pitch for Ronaldo's swansong. However, despite the best efforts of the CBF, the player who he replaces will not be allowed to re-enter the field. The Brazil football federation had hoped that it would not count as one of their official six substitutions, but have been denied this request.

Brazil coach Mano Menezes says he has not yet decided on his full starting line-up for the game, with Henrique and Elano both contenders to play in midfield. It is likely that Fred will be the man to make way for Ronaldo, meaning fans will get the chance to see both a past and a future legend up front: Ronaldo and Neymar.

wrong turn 2, wrong turn 3 and wrong turn 4

I never saw Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead, but I really liked Wrong Turn 2 despite hating the original starring Eliza Dushku. For those unfamiliar to the now-direct-to-video Wrong Turn horror franchise, it centers on a group of inbred mutant mountain men (that's hot!) that get their rocks off killing anyone that may wander into their West Virginia wilderness hunting grounds. Yeah, we're not talking high art here, but when done right as it was in Wrong Turn 2, it can prove to be a lot of fun.

Now looking around, it looks as if Wrong Turn 3 was a dud based on reviews and I was smart for avoiding it, but one can hope Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings will actually be good. To kick off the marketing campaign I just received a "franchise trailer" as well as the below teaser poster for the flick. This will again be a straight-to-video release with the DVD and Blu-ray hitting shelves on October 18.

The film was written and directed by Wrong Turn 3 helmer Declan O'Brien who appears to gravitate toward these lesser-than features as he last directed Sharktopus for SyFy. The cast is just as obscure as it includes Terra Vnesa, Dean Armstrong, Tenika Davis, Kaitlyn Wong, Jennifer Pudavick, Kristen Harris and Victor Zinck Jr.

So check out the NSFW franchise trailer above and the new poster and synopsis below.

At an isolated hospital deep in the West Virginia wilderness, three hideously deformed mutants go on a merciless killing spree. Now, decades later, this family of blood-thirsty cannibals is stalking new prey: a group of young skiers trapped by a blizzard. The abandoned medical wards soon become killing fields as the panicked victims come face to face with a chilling choice — fight back or die. With bonus footage too graphic for theaters, Wrong Turn 4 takes you to the most terrifying place of all…the beginning.

baba ramdev arrested

Midnight Police Swoop on Ramdev Breaks Up Fast
With talks breaking down, police swooped down on Baba Ramdev a little past midnight and detained him after firing tear gas shells and resorting to lathicharge on his supporters to end his day-old indefinite hunger strike on black money issue.

The dramatic police action came after government and the 46-year-old Yoga Guru had accused each other the previous night of betrayal on mutual assurances.

The drama that broke the midnight calm in the Ramlila Maidan a little after 1 AM unfolded when a large number of police personnel descended at the protest venue where Ramdev was demanding immediate action to bring back black money stashed in foreign tax havens.

After day break, police cleared all the remnants of Baba's support by evicting his followers from the protest site amidst stiff resistance.

Delhi Police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said Baba Ramdev was detained as he was leaving the site.

Later sources said he was allowed to go out of Delhi and that probably he was headed to Haridwar.

Earlier, Home Secretary G K Pillai had maintained that he was not arrested or detained, a point echoed by Delhi Police Commissioner B K Gupta, who also rushed to the spot.

Gupta said there were some security concerns and that the permission for the yoga camp has been cancelled.

He said Ramdev's supporters indulged in stone throwing. Police did not use force except to use some tear gas, he added. A claim that was denied by eye-witnesses and media reporters.

Some elderly people experiences dizziness due to the impact of tear gas shelling resorted to by police.

30 of Baba Ramdev's supporters have been admitted to a nearby government hospital for treatment of injuries allegedly suffered during the police action.

Women, many of them from out of town, complained of mistreatment at the hands of male constables, and eyewitnesses attested that they had been jostled, pushed around and forcibly evicted in the middle of night.

Ramdev's key aide, Tijarawala alleged that the yoga guru has been "kidnapped" by police and he feared for his life. The spokesman appealed to the Chief Justice of India to intervene and ensure Ramdev's safety and release.

The police withdrew the permission for his yoga camp and imposed prohibitory orders after (what a senior police official described as) a political decision was taken to end the protest.
