INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty – 17th October

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is an international observance celebrated each year on October 17 throughout the world. The first commemoration of the event took place in Paris, France in 1987 when 100,000 people gathered on the Human Rights and Liberties Plaza at the Trocadéro to honor victims of poverty, hunger, violence, and fear at the unveiling of a commemorative stone by Joseph Wresinski, founder of the International Movement ATD Fourth World. In 1992, four years after Wresinski’s death, the United Nations officially designated October 17 as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

प्रथमेनार्जिता विद्या
द्वितीयेनार्जितं धनं।
तृतीयेनार्जितः कीर्तिः (पुण्य कमाना)
चतुर्थे किं करिष्यति।।

भावार्थ:

जिसने भी प्रथम आश्रम (ब्रह्मचर्य) में विद्या अर्जित नहीं की है, द्वितीय आश्रम (गृहस्थ) में धन अर्जित नहीं किया है, तृतीय आश्रम (वानप्रस्थ) में कीर्ति अर्जित नहीं की है (पुण्य नहीं कमाया), वह चतुर्थ आश्रम (संन्यास) में क्या करेगा?

सनातन धर्म में कर्त्तव्य पालन के लिए चार आश्रम दिये गये है, जिससे व्यक्ति को जीवन जीने के लिए लक्ष्य मिल सके।

  1. ब्रह्मचर्य
  2. गृहस्थ
  3. वानप्रस्थ
  4. संन्यास

1. ब्रह्मचर्य – 25 वर्ष तक की आयु, विधा प्राप्ति करके जीवन को खुद के बलबूते पर चलाने के लिए तैयार हो जाना है।

2. गृहस्थ – 25 से 50 वर्ष तक की आयु, विवाह करके पारिवारिक और सामाजिक दायित्व निभाना है।

3. वानप्रस्थ- 50 से 75 वर्ष तक की आयु, पारिवारिक जिम्मेदारियों से निवृत्त हो जाना है और बहु-बेटे को सारी जिम्मेदारी दे देनी है, बच्चे बड़े हो जाने से धीरे धीरे…

WHY INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR GIRL CHILD?

Rachana Mohini 'dish's avatarRachana Mohini

Today is the day for Girls. But please ask yourself, why it is getting celebrated? A few days ago there was Daughter’s Day, in January the National Girl child day for Indians is going to come.

I don’t understand the point when we are so much aware that we need to bring these days to spread awareness about Girl’s rights and to consider them Humans and treat equally. Then why not the crime rate against them is dropping down??

On October 11th, 2012 the first International Girl Child Day was celebrated and if we have a look at the offense list, it’s shocking to learn that the crime rate has increased against them.

As per UNWomen records only in the year 2017 more than 87000 Women were killed globally; this is the situation when we know that actual data from some countries like India is not really available, because there…

SPACES

besondersite's avatarPrerna's blog

Divine spaces
in stirring souls
Nebulae between stars
Fields between particles
Blackouts between dreams
Crackling, sparks between flames
Ascent and descent between notes
Stillness between breaths
I am somewhere between
tripping and rising
Unfathomable sigh 
~Inside spaces~
Sigh unfathomable
Rising and tripping
Between somewhere am I
Breaths between stillness
Notes between descent and ascent
Flames between sparks, crackling
Dreams between blackouts
Particles between fields
Stars between nebulae
Souls stirring in
spaces divine
