🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA 🇮🇳
Golconda Fort , also known as Golkonda (Telugu: “shepherds’ hill”), is a fortified citadel and an early capital city of the Qutb Shahi dynasty (c. 1512–1687), located in Hyderabad, Telangana.
Because of the vicinity of diamond mines, especially Kollur Mine, Golconda flourished as a trade centre of large diamonds, known as the Golconda Diamonds. The region has produced some of the world’s most famous diamonds, including the colourless Koh-i-Noor (now owned by the United Kingdom), the blue Hope (United States), the pink Daria-i-Noor (Iran), the white Regent (France), the Dresden Green (Germany), and the colourless Orlov (Russia), Nizam and Jacob (India), as well as the now lost diamonds Florentine Yellow, Akbar Shah and Mogul.
🛕 VEDIK GYAN
Jaya and Vijaya are the gatekeepers of the abode of lord Vishnu. They are also ardent devotees of Him.
Once the Manasaputras of Lord Brahma Sanaka, Sanandana , Sanatana and Sanatkumara visited the abode of Vishnu for his Darshan. One thing they all have in common is , they all look like children irrespective of their age due to the power of their Thapas.
Thinking that these four are children, Jaya and Vijaya blocks them at the entrance. They also tell the Kumaras that Sri Vishnu is resting and that they cannot see him now. The enraged Kumaras replied Jaya and Vijaya that Vishnu is available for his devotees any time, and cursed both the keepers Jaya and Vijaya, that they would have to give up their divinity, be born as mortals on Earth (bhuloka, or physical plane), and live like normal human beings.
Vishnu appeared before them, and the gatekeepers requested Vishnu to lift the curse of the Kumaras. Vishnu says curse of Kumaras cannot be reversed. Instead, he gives Jaya and Vijaya two options. The first option is to take seven births on Earth as a devotee of Vishnu, while the second is to take three births as his enemy. After serving either of these sentences, they can re-attain their stature at Vaikuntha and be with him permanently. Jaya and Vijaya cannot bear the thought of staying away from Vishnu for seven lives. As a result, they choose to be born three times on Earth even though it would have to be as enemies of Lord Vishnu.
In the first life they were born as Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha in the Krita Yuga, to Diti (daughter of Daksha Prajapathi) and sage Kashyapa who were killed by Vishnu taking the form of Varaha, a boar and Narasimha,a man-lion in the Satya Yuga.
In their second life they were born as Ravana and Kumbhakarna and were killed by Vishnu who descended as Rama in the Treta Yuga.
And in their third life as Shishupala and Dantavakra (in some places Dantavakra is replaced by Kamsa) who were killed by Vishnu who descended as Krishna in the Dwapara Yuga.

सहस्रं तु पितॄन् माता गौरवेणातिरिच्यते॥ – Manusmriti
upādhyāyān daśācārya ācāryāṇāṃ śataṃ pitā।
Meaning : A preceptor is more than ten ordinary teachers, our father is superior to a hundred such preceptors, but our mother surpasses the glory of a thousand fathers.
भावार्थ : दस उपाध्यायों से बढ़कर एक आचार्य होता है, सौ आचार्यों से बढ़कर पिता होता है, परन्तु पिता से हजार गुणा बढ़कर माता गौरवमयी होती है। (अतः माता का गौरव सर्वाधिक है।)
