Every 12 years the idol of Mahaprabhu is changed,at that time the whole city of Puri is blacked out i.e. the lights of the wholecity are extinguished. After the lights are switched off, the CRPF forcessurround the temple premises from all sides. At that time no one can enter thetemple. Cause of blackout It is dark insidethe temple. The priest is blindfolded. The priest has gloves on his hands. Theytake out the "Brahma substance" from the old idol and put it in thenew idol.Till date no one knows what this Brahma substance is. No one has seen it tilldate. For thousands of years it is being transferred from one idol to another. This Brahma substance is related to Lord Shri Krishna.But what is this, no one knows.

A3 Kaushal, Jun 8 One was a beggar!While begging in the train journey, he saw Seth ji wearing a suit boot. Hethought that this person looks very rich, he will definitely give me good moneyif I beg him. He started begging from that Seth. Seeing the beggar, that Seth said, "You always beg, doyou ever give anything to anyone?" The beggar said,"Sir, I am a beggar, I always beg from people, where is my status that Ican give something to someone?" Seth :- When youcannot give anything to anyone, then you have no right to even ask. I am a businessman and believein transaction only, if you have something to give me then only I can give yousomething in return. Only then thestation came where that Seth had to get down, he got off the train and left. Here the beggarstarted thinking about what Seth had said. The words spoken by Seth entered theheart of that beggar. He started thinking that maybe I don't get much money inbegging because I am not able to give anything to anyone in return. But I am abeggar, I am not even capable of giving anything to anyone. But how long will I keep onbegging without giving anything to the people. After thinking alot, the beggar decided that whatever person gives him alms, he will definitelygive something to that person in return. But now the question was running inhis mind that he himself is a beggar, so what can he give to others in returnof alms? The whole daypassed thinking about this but he could not find any answer to his question. The other day whenhe was sitting near the station, he saw some flowers which were blooming on theplants around the station, he thought, why not give some flowers instead of alms to the people.He liked this idea of his and pluckedsome flowers from there. He reached to beg in the train. Whenever someone gave himalms, he would give some flowers in return. People happily kept those flowerswith them. Now the beggar used to pluck flowers everydayand in return of alms he used to distribute those flowers among the people. The begger used to pluck all the flowers near thestation. As long as flowers remained with him, many people used to give himalms. But when theflowers were finished while being distributed, then he did not even get alms,now it continued like this everyday. One day when he wasbegging, he saw the sameSeth sitting in the train, because of which he was inspired to giveflowers instead of alms. He immediatelyreached to that person and said begging, today I have some flowers to give you, you give me alms, I willgive you some flowers in return. Seth gave him somemoney as alms and the beggar gave him some flowers. That Seth liked this verymuch. Seth :- Wow what'sthe matter..? Today you have also become a businessman like me, saying this, hetook the flower and got down at the Seth station. But what was saidby that Seth once again entered the heart of that beggar. He started thinkingabout what that Seth had said again and again and became very happy. His eyesstarted shining now, he felt that now he has got the key to success in hishands by which he can change his life. He immediately gotdown from the train and excitedly looking up at the sky said in a very loudvoice, "I am not a beggar, I am a businessman..I too canbecome like that Seth.. I too can become rich! When people sawhim, they thought that maybe this beggar had gone mad, from the next day that beggarwas never seen again at that station. A year later, two persons were traveling at the samestation wearing suit boots. When both saw each other, oneof them bowed to the other with folded hands and said, "Did you recognize me?" Seth :- ′′ Otherwise! Maybe we are meeting for the firsttime. Beggar :- Seth ji..You remember, we are meeting not for the first time but for the third time. Seth: I can'tremember, when did we meet twice before? Now the firstperson smiled and said: We met twice before in the same train, I am the same beggarwhom you told in the first meeting what I should do in life and in the secondmeeting you told me who I really am. As a result,today I am a very big trader of flowers and I am going to another city for thework of this business. You told me the lawof nature in the first meeting... according to which we get something only whenwe give something. This rule of transaction really works, I have felt it verywell, but I always thought of myself as a beggar, I never thought of risingabove it and when I met you for the second time, you told me that I have becomea businessman. Now I understood that I have not really become a beggar but abusinessman. It's a matter of understanding... As long asthe beggar considered himself a beggar, he remained a beggar. He consideredhimself a businessman, became a businessman. The day we willunderstand who I am...Then what will be left to know and understand? My note-Story with a good morale.

Q6 What happened to BSNL landlineconnections in India? Why are they not available anymore? A6 Pranav Kulkarni,B.E from SinhgadCollege of Engineering, Pune (Graduated 2023)Feb 17 BSNL (BharatSanchar Nigam Limited) is a state-owned telecommunications company in Indiathat provides landline and mobile phone services, as well as broadband andother data services. BSNL landline connections are still available in India,although their popularity has declined in recent years due to the widespreadavailability and increasing affordability of mobile phones and wirelessInternet services. One of the main reasons for the declinein BSNL landline connections is the increasing use of mobile phones, whichprovide greater mobility and convenience compared to landline phones. Many people prefer to use mobile phones as their primarymeans of communication, especially in urban areas where mobile coverage iswidespread. In addition, therise of wireless broadband services, such as 4G and 5G, has made it easier and more affordablefor people to access high-speed Internet without the need for a landlineconnection. This has further reduced the demand for BSNL landline connections,especially among younger generations who are more likely to use mobile devicesfor their communication and data needs. Despite thesetrends, BSNL continues to offer landline connections in India and has takensteps to modernize and upgrade its infrastructure to provide better services toits customers. BSNL hasalso launched new plans and services to attract customers, including bundledpackages that combine landline, mobile, and broadband services at competitiveprices. However, the decline in demand for landline connectionsis likely to continue as more people switch to mobile phones and wirelessInternet services for their communication and dataneeds.
