My Dear Young and Little Indians Thousands and thousands of years back on the bank of lake Kantisarovar कांतिसरोवर in the Himalaya हिमालय came a Yogi योगी. (Lake Kantisarovar is near the Kedarnath Dham in Garhwal region of Uttarakhand) He sat there and started meditating. People gathered around him and waited to hear him. The Yogi unaware of the people’s presence continued to meditate. Gradually people started dispersing. The Yogi continued to meditate for years. When he opened his eyes he saw seven men sitting and still waiting for him. This Yogi was Adi-Yogi आदियोगी or Lord Shiv Adi-Yogi आदियोगी means the first Yogi. He is the source of Yog.

Let me make it simple…… The way we have 12 months in a Gregorian Calendar (January- December), we have 12 months in the Indian Hindu Calendar Year known as Vikram Samvat विक्रम संवत. Vikram Samvat विक्रम संवत begins in March-April period of Gregorian calendar. This is how the two calendars roughly correspond - Name of Vikram Samvat Month (Corresponding month of Gregorian Year) चैत्र (मार्च-अप्रैल) वैशाख (अप्रैल -मई ) ज्येष्ठ (मई -जून ) आषाढ़ (जून-जुलाई)

Strait is a narrow passage of water between two water bodies. Sea between the Southern tip of India (in Tamil Nadu) and the Northern part of Sri Lanka (in Jaffna) is called the Palk Strait. Palk Strait is named after Robert Palk who was the Governor of Madras between 1755 and 1763.
