2020 Panreligious Calendar for all of your Panreligious Needs

MM/DD-MM/DD, MM/DD: Name (Alternative Name) [Religion]

Sometimes the final pair of brackets will have the name of a country instead of a religion. This is because the holiday is religious in nature, but is not widely celebrated outside of this area.

In general, for the purposes of this list, Eastern Orthodox Christians and Coptic Orthodox Christians are grouped separately to "Christian" as they operate on a different calendar. All dates are according to the Gregorian Calendar. It is assumed that you are in the Northern Hemisphere.

New Post has been published on https://behealthy99.com/bmc-issues-sops-for-navratri-5-people-allowed-at-mandaps-flowers-sweets-banned/

BMC Issues SOPs for Navratri; 5 People Allowed at Mandaps, Flowers, Sweets Banned

Coronavirus LIVE Updates: The BMC on Thursday issued guidelines for Navratri celebrations. Idol height restricted to 4 feet for public mandaps, and 2 feet for home idols. Satinisation for mandaps is a must, and no flowers and sweets are allowed. The authorities said they would encourage people to go for online darshan.

Meanwhile, West Bengal has extended coronavirus restrictions till October 30. The state government, however, relaxed night movement between October 10-20 for Durga Puja, which begins from October 11.

Meanwhile, twenty-three MBBS students studying in KEM & Seth GS Medical College, Mumbai have been found to be corona positive even after taking the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine. The daily rise in coronavirus infections had remained below 20,000 for the second consecutive day on Thursday with 18,870 fresh cases recorded in a single day. Active cases as of now stand at 2,77,020 while the total cases tally has now reached 3,37,39,980. A total of 3,30,14,898 recoveries have been recorded. Death toll is currently 4,48,062. Total vaccinations in the last 24 hours were recorded at 65,34,306.

Here are the top developments:

– Mizoram reported 1,741 new coronavirus infections on Thursday, taking the number of active cases to 16,841, officials said. Among the new patients were 304 children, they said. One more person died of COVID-19 in the state in the last 24 hours, pushing the toll to 307.

– “All 23 students were vaccinated with at least one dose of vaccine. Some of them have mild symptoms. It may have spread due to some cultural or sports event held in the college,” said Mayor Kishori Pednekar.

– Out of 29, 23 students are in second year MBBS and 6 students are first year MBBS. Out of 29 students who tested positive for corona, 27 students took both doses of corona vaccine.

– Two students have been admitted to Seven Hills Hospital for treatment while the other students have been quarantined.

– How all these students became infected with the virus is being investigated.

– Rising above the 20k mark, India in the last 24 hours reported 23,529 new Covid-19 cases, 28,718 recoveries and 311 deaths, as per Union Health Ministry.

– The active cases comprise 0.84 per cent of the total infections, the lowest since March 2020, while the national COVID-19 recovery rate was recorded at 97.83 per cent, the highest since March 2020, the ministry said.

– As many as 15,04,713 tests were conducted on Tuesday taking the total cumulative tests conducted so far for detection of COVID-19 in the country to 56,74,50,185. The daily positivity rate was recorded at 1.25 per cent.

– Maharashtra has planned to setup 60-70 field hospitals across districts to cater to Covid patients round the year. According to a report by Times of India, these 50 to 100-bed facilities are part of a larger plan to create parallel infrastructure so that future Covid waves don’t disrupt non-Covid work at permanent hospitals.

– The field hospitals would largely come up in tier-II and tier-III cities that tend to get overwhelmed with any spurt in cases The state plans to build them with a durability for 20 years and won’t be temporary structures.

– Many governments across the globe, that once relied on vaccines from Sinovac Biotech Ltd. or Sinopharm Group Co Ltd. are now turning to options from the US and Europe, as concerns mount about Chinese vaccines’ efficacy against the delta strain and the Western stranglehold on mRNA supplies grows looser.

The top-selling products demand is back.

India’s major consumer electronics and home appliance manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, Bosch, Siemens, Panasonic, Godrej Appliances and Haier posted the best sales of the past five years in August, which is good news for the Indian economy, which contracted 23.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The good news was that the top-selling products last month were large refrigerators, washing machines, high-end dishwashers and microwaves, indicating that discretionary demand is back.

Big companies have said that Independence Day sales in the e-commerce markets were “massive” and that the return of consumer finance has also helped. The companies estimate that they increased their sales 25 to 40% in August from the previous year, while sequential sales growth in July is more than 20%, the Economic Times reported. “The demand continues to increase, we have published our best August performance in more than five years – a 40% increase in sales,” LG vice president Vijay Babu told Daily Business. LG Electronics is the largest appliance manufacturer in the country. Neeraj Bahl, CEO of BSH Home Appliances India, which makes Bosch and Siemens home appliances, said its performance in August was the best in a decade in terms of revenue and unit sales. “We hope the Christmas season is good, although Onam in Kerala has been relatively moderate,” Bahl told the publication.

The companies said the demand was more for high-capacity products: refrigerators of more than 300 liters, washing machines of more than 6 kg and products such as microwaves and dishwashers. Consumers also buy large TVs with screen sizes of 40 inches or more, according to the publication.

Panasonic India CEO Manish Sharma said the favorable monsoon, working from home, improving consumer confidence and increasing the number of new buyers in rural markets are driving this demand. Consumers in all markets prefer large-screen LED televisions to smartphones for streaming content, he said.

Every month, businesses experience a growing demand for televisions, appliances and personal care products due to changes in consumer habits. In fact, most large companies had reached pre-Covid activity levels in July. This had caused a shortage of certain products such as dishwashers due to a sudden increase in demand.

Eric Braganza, president of Higher India, told Daily Business that the brand had the highest sales on television in August. “This is despite the fact that 10 to 15% of the stores remain closed due to local closures. We are now optimistic about the Christmas season despite the contraction in GDP growth, thanks to the bumper harvest, rural markets are doing exceptionally well and there is a change in consumption patterns as well, ”he said.

If August is any indication, there may be a lot of holiday cheer for the big consumer electronics brands. The Christmas season, which begins with Navratri and runs through Diwali, typically accounts for 40-45% of the annual activity of home appliance manufacturers.

महर्षि कात्यायन की तपस्या से प्रसन्न होकर आदि-शक्ति ने उनके यहां पुत्री के रूप में जन्म लिया था, इसलिए वे कात्यायनी कहलाती हैं। स्कंद पुराण के अनुसार मां कात्यायनी परमेश्वर के नैसर्गिक क्रोध से उत्पन्न हुई थीं ।

स्वरूप

माता कात्यायनी का भी वाहन सिंह है। इस पर आरूढ़ होकर उन्होंने महिषासुर का वध किया। इनकी दो भुजाएं अभय मुद्रा और वर मुद्रा में हैं। अन्य दो भुजाओं में खड्ग और कमल है।

महत्त्व

मां कात्यायनी की पूजा से रोग, शोक, संताप, भय का नाश होता है।

पुणे के नेशनल इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ वायरोलॉजी (एनआईवी) की डायरेक्टर डॉ. प्रिया अब्राहम कोरोना रूपी महिषासुर के खिलाफ युद्ध छेड़ने वाले सबसे प्रमुख वैज्ञानिकों में से एक हैं। उन्होंने न केवल भारत में सबसे पहले कोरोना वायरस को आइसोलेट किया, बल्कि पूरे देश में इस संक्रमण की जांच के लिए लेबोरेट्रीज का जाल बिछाया।

भारत में 30 जनवरी 2020 को कोरोना संक्रमण का पहला केस कन्फर्म हुआ। उस समय पूरे देश में केवल एनआईवी में ही कोरोना की जांच होती थी। यह देश की सबसे बड़ी हेल्थ रिसर्च बॉडी आईसीएमआर (इंडियन काउंसिल ऑफ मेडिकल रिसर्च) का इंस्टीट्यूट है। इस घटना से करीब दो महीने पहले यानी नवंबर में ही डॉ. प्रिया अब्राहम ने एनआईवी डायरेक्टर की कुर्सी संभाली थी।

तब देश के वैज्ञानिकों पर दबाव था कि कोरोना वायरस पर शोध करके उसके बारे में ज्यादा से ज्यादा जानकारी जुटाएं। ऐसे में उनके सामने दो बड़े लक्ष्य थे। पहला- नोवेल कोरोना वायरस को आइसोलेट करना। ताकि उसकी दवा और वैक्सीन तैयार की जा सके। दूसरा-पूरे देश में कोरोना टेस्ट के लिए लैबोरेट्रीज को तैयार करना।

कोरोना रूपी राक्षस के खिलाफ यह दोनों काम डॉ. प्रिया अब्राहम की अगुवाई में किए गए। उन्होंने मार्च में ही कोरोना वायरस को आइसोलेट कर लिया। भारत के लिए यह बड़ी उपलब्धि थी। वहीं, कोरोना की जांंच के लिए 13 लेबोरेट्रीज के वॉयरोलॉजिस्ट और अन्य कर्मचारियों की ट्रेनिंग शुरू की गई।

आज देश में करीब 1114 सरकारी और 839 प्राइवेट लैब हैं। इनमें रोज करीब 10 लाख कोरोना सैंपल्स की जांच होती हैं। देश में अब तक करीब 9.7 करोड़ सैंपल्स की जांच हो चुकी हैं। इस दौरान सभी सरकारी लैब्स में जांच किट व अन्य जरूरी उपकरण पहुंचाने का काम भी डॉ. प्रिया की टीम ने किया। इसमें करीब 10 सदस्य थे। उन्होंने सभी लैब को एक वॉट्सऐप ग्रुप से जोड़कर उनके काम की रियल टा��म मॉनिटरिंग की।

घरवालों से दो माह बात तक नहीं कर सकीं

कोरोना काल के शुरुआती दौर की इस बड़ी कवायद के दौरान डॉ. प्रिया तमिलनाडु के वेल्लोर में मौजूद अपने परिवार के किसी भी सदस्य करीब दो महीने तक बात नहीं कर सकीं। मूल रूप से केरल के कोट्टयम की रहने वाली डॉ. प्रिया ने इस बीच अपनी सभी हॉबीज जैसे बागवानी और किताबें पढ़ना भी छोड़ दिया था।

डॉ. प्रिया याद करती हैं कि कभी-कभी तो एक-दो दिन में ही देश की तमाम लैबोरेट्रीज तक कोरोना जांच के काम आने वाले 5 लाख रीजेंट पहुंचाने पड़ते थे। वह भी लॉकडाउन के दौरान। न कोई ट्रक, न ट्रेन और न विमान। ऐसे में माल ढोने वाले विशेष विमानों और वायुसेना के विमानों से ही यह सब लैबोरेट्रीज तक पहुंचाते थे।

कई बार को यह सामान हवाई अड्डों तक पहुंचाना भी एक चुनौती बन जाता था। मगर उन्‍होंने अपनी टीम के साथ बखूबी इस काम को अंजाम दिया। एक अमेरिका को छोड़ दें तो कोरोना की कुल जांचों के मामले में आज भारत दुनिया में दूसरे नंबर पर खड़ा है।

डॉ. मीनल धकावे भोसले: पहली स्व��ेशी कोरोना जांच किट बनाई, विदेशी किटों से कीमत आधी

पुणे स्थित मॉल्यूक्यूलर बॉयोलॉजी फर्म ने देश में बनी पहली कोरोना वायरस टेस्टिं��� किट तैयार कर ली। यह केवल ढाई घंटे में नतीजे देती है। इसकी कीमत भी इम्पोर्टेड किटों से काफी कम, करीब 1200 रुपए है। इस किट को तैयार करने वाली माइलैब की रिसर्च एंड डवलपमेंट प्रमुख डॉ. मीनल धकावे भोसले ही हैं।

सबसे बड़ी बात यह है कि डॉ. मीनल ने यह रिसर्च गर्भावस्था के दौरान की। उन्होंने 18 मार्च को अपनी किट नेशनल इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ वायरोलॉजी (एनआईवी) को सौंपी और अगले दिन एक प्यारी सी बेटी को जन्म दिया।

देश में कोरोना के इलाज और टेस्टिंग के प्रोटोकॉल तैयार करने में आईसीएमआर की वरिष्ठ वैज्ञानिक डॉ. निवेदिता की अहम भूमिका है। उनकी अगुवाई में ही आईसीएमआर ने यह दोनों प्रमुख काम किेए। कहा जा सकता है कि देश में कोरोना मरीजों के स्वस्थ होने की ऊंची दर के पीछे डॉ. निवेदिता की खास रोल है। आईसीएमआर के लिए लेबोरेट्रीज का नेटवर्क स्थापित करने वाली टीम में भी डॉ. निवेदिता का बड़ा योगदान था।
