Name of the Indian Sixty Years

The year is defined as 12 months, each of which is of 30 days in length i.e., the year is only 360 days long. Consequently, the calendar falls regularly out of date and is adjusted by introducing an additional month every so often. The additional month, called Adhika Maasa meaning literally an extra month, cycles through all the twelve months. No religious ceremonies or festivals are observed during the adhika maasa. There are 60 such year names and the cycle of years repeats every sixty years starting from Prabhava.

Adapter Pattern in the DataAdapter used with various data sources such as OleDB, Sql, and Oracle.

ADO.Net is all about Abstract Factory for getting rid of the details of connecting to data sources
Events are an implementation of the Observer pattern
.Net iterators are an implementation of the Iterator pattern

The Decorator Pattern is used on the Stream classes:
System.IO.Stream
System.IO.BufferedStream
System.IO.FileStream
System.IO.MemoryStream

Iterator pattern.

using the IEnumerator class in the framework:
Iterators in the .NET Framework are called "enumerators" and represented by the IEnumerator interface. IEnumerator provides a MoveNext() method, which advances to the next element and indicates whether the end of the collection has been reached; a Current property, to obtain the value of the element currently being pointed at; and an optional Reset() method, to rewind the enumerator back to its initial position. The enumerator initially points to a special value before the first element, so a call to MoveNext() is required to begin iterating.

System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream
The subclasses decorate Stream because they inherit from it, and they also contain an instance of Stream that is set up in the constructor

The Strategy Design Pattern decouples an algorithm from the class that uses it by encapsulating the algorithm into a separate class. This allows for switching of algorithms.
The Sort method of the List class is an example of the Strategy pattern.

public void Sort(IComparer comparer)
By accepting an IComparer interface, users of the class can switch the sorting algorithm at runtime.

Masa Shivaratri (Pradosha) Pooja:

The thirteenth lunar tithi, Trayodasi, also known as Pradosha, has a special significance connected with Lord Shiva. It is on this day (Maha Shivaratri) that He swallowed Halahal - the poisonous fumes, to save the world. Hence every Trayodasi is called Pradosha and considered very auspicious. Divide the time from sunset to next sunrise into 5 parts and the 1st part, immediately after sunset, is called Pradosha time. Lord Shiva is at His happiest during the Pradosha time and fulfils all desires of those who worship him during this time and grants victory and success in all undertakings. There are two Trayodasis in a month and the Krishnapaksha Trayodasi is called Masa Shivaratri.

Rudrabhishekam Pooja:

This Pooja, where Lord Shiva is worshiped in His Rudra form, is hailed by all Vedic scriptures as one of the greatest Poojas to remove all evils, to attain all desires and for all round prosperity.
In this Pooja after the traditional Ganesha Pooja, Kalasha sthapana etc, the Shiva Linga sthapana is done. Then Laghunyasa is recited. The Shivopasana mantra and the 108 names of Lord Shiva are recited. Then Sri Rudram (chapter 16 & 18 of Yajur Veda) is recited and the Shiva Linga abhishekam is done with the prescribed 11 ingredients like water, milk, curd, ghee, honey etc.
Chanting of the Sri Rudram in rhythm purifies the entire atmosphere. In Kaivalya upanishad it is said that "Rudra Japam" can wipe out all sins and acts is a 'Prayaschitham' for all. Sri Rudram is also called as Rudra Upanishad and Satha Rudriyam. The Sri Rudram identifies 346 desires of human beings to be fulfilled to have a peaceful daily life and invokes Lord Rudra to fulfill all of them.
The Astrology scriptures have repeatedly prescribed this as a remedy for several planetary Doshas. Whether you want peace or prosperity, progeny or progress in profession, health or wealth the Rudrabhishekam Pooja is the ideal one. It will be done in your name and with your sankalpa, i.e., the specific purpose for which you are getting the pooja performed.

Ekadasa Rudrabhishekam Pooja:

This is a more elaborate Pooja of Lord Shiva. Shiva has eleven forms of Rudra. In this Pooja all the 11 Rudras are worshiped. After the sthapana avahana etc., Laghunyasam is recited. Then Rudra Trishati is recited. Abhishekam is done to each of the 11 Rudras with all the 11 dravyas prescribed. Their 11 consorts are also worshiped . This pooja is performed by 4 pundits and Rudram is recited total 11 times - i.e. one recital for each of the 11 Rudras. It will be done in your name and with your sankalpa, i.e., the specific purpose for which you are getting the pooja performed. Only Pooja is performed and Homa, ie, fire oblations are not done

Ekadasa Rudrabhishekam (Rudraikadasini) Homam:

This is a major Homa of Lord Shiva. Shiva has eleven forms of Rudra. In this Homa all the 11 Rudras are worshiped. After the sthapana avahana etc., Mahanyasam is recited. Then Rudra Trishati is recited. This homa is performed by 11 pundits and each pundit recites Sri Rudram 11 times - i.e. total 121 times Rudrajapa. Abhishekam is done to each of the 11 Rudras with all the 11 dravyas prescribed. Their 11 consorts are also worshiped . After the pooja Homa is performed with the prescribed ingredients and 1/10 the number of japas done in the pooja are repeated. It ends with poornahuti and shanti paath.
Normally apart from the 11 reciting pundits 2 more extra pundits are included in the homa to look after the continuous process of abhishekam and passing the materials plus in case a pundit takes a break to drink water etc as it takes about 7 hours total.
It is an excellent Homa for all round shanti and success in all undertakings. It will be done in your name and with your sankalpa, i.e., the specific purpose for which you are getting the pooja performed. This Homa can be performed exclusively for you. A group of people/families can also order it jointly.

Maha-Rudram Yagya:

This is a once in a lifetime yagya to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva and an excellent remedy for all doshas and for all round success in all areas of life. All other rituals are same as in the above Ekadasa Rudra Homam but in this Yagya 121 pundits recite the Rudram 11 times each in one day - i.e., total 1331 recitals of Sri Rudram. Alternately, instead of one day it is also performed by 33 pundits for 4 days to complete the total 1331 Rudra japas. After that Homa is performed with the prescribed ingredients and 1/10 the number of japas done in the pooja are repeated while performing the Homa - i.e., 133 more Rudra japas.
Normally apart from the 121 reciting pundits 10 more extra pundits are included in the homa to look after the continuous process of abhishekam and passing the materials plus in case a pundit takes a break to drink water etc as it a very long Yagya.
One must be very lucky indeed to get this Yagya performed as it is said that Lord Shiva and His consort Mother Annapoorna bless the performer with all the 8 types of wealth. This Homa can be performed exclusively for you. A group of people/families can also order it jointly

Atirudram Yagya:

This is a one of the greatest Yagyas prescribed in the scriptures. It is the ultimate Yagya one can perform for Lord Shiva. In this 121 pundits recite 11 Rudrams each every day for 11 days - i.e., 14641 Rudram recitals in all. After that Homa is performed with the prescribed ingredients and 1/10 the number of japas done in the pooja are repeated while performing the Homa - i.e., 1464 more Rudra japas. In the olden days Kings and Emperors used to get this Yagya performed for the welfare of their kingdom and for the continuous progress and prosperity of their clan. It is said that if one performs this Yagya, for 11 generations his clan will enjoy all types of happiness and wealth.
As the Ati Rudram is a long 11 day yagya, normally apart from the 121 reciting pundits 10 more extra pundits are included to look after the continuous process of abhishekam and passing the materials plus in case a pundit takes a break to drink water etc.

11 forms of Rudra

The 11 Rudras worshipped in the Ekadasa Rudrabhishekam Pooja is the most reliable information.
The 11 Rudras are as follows:
1. Mahadeva, 2. Shiva , 3. Maha Rudra, 4. Shankara, 5. Neelalohita, 6. Eshana Rudra, 7. Vijaya Rudra, 8. Bheema Rudra, 9. Devadeva, 10. Bhavodbhava and 11. Adityatmaka Srirudra.

Their 11 consorts of these 11 Rudras are:- 1. Dhee devi, 2. Dhritti devi, 3. Ushna (Rasala) devi, 4. Uma devi, 5. Neeyut devi, 5. Sarpi devi, 7. Eela devi, 8. Ambika devi, 9. Ieravati devi, 10. Sudha devi and 11. Deeksha devi respectively

what is mangalasanam

Mangalasasanam means 'singing praise of the holy shrines'

What is the difference between Bhakti and Prapatti?

Bhakti is devotion and Prapatti is sampoorna saranaagathi(yielding to god, surrendering to god completely)by the devotee.
Bhakta is the one with bhakti - DevoteePrapanna is the one who is with prapatti (I don't think there is an English word for this).
Chinna Jeeyar gave a very nice example of Bhakta and Prapanna calling it Marjala Nyayam and Markata Nyayam(Style of Cat and Monkey). He says"When You become Bhakta, God becomes PrapannaWhen you become Prapanna, God becomes Bhakta"

If you are a Bhakta it means that you believe in GOD but you want to take of things on your own and God exhibits "Prapanna" characteristic by leaving things to you since you want to be in charge. Ex:- Monkey and her kids. Look at any mother monkey with her kids jumping from one branch to another. The monkey happily jumps from one tree to another. It is up to the kid to tightly clasp her/his mother around her stomach. The little monkey holding her mother is the Bhakta here and mother monkey is the prapanna.

If you are a Prapanna it means that you surrendered yourself completely to GOD and it is up to him to take care of you. God here has no choice but become your savior and look after you. God exhibits "Bhakta" characteristic by taking good care of you since he is in charge now. Ex:- Cat and Kitten. Look at the kitten. They exhibit the characteristic of a Prapanna where they leave everything to their mother. The cat takes the responsibility of the kitten and it moves those kitten by carefully grabbing them and holding with her teeth. In the journey of the spiritual world, the fruit of the journey is the journey itself .

The first step to start your journey is to become a Bhakta and you would get a promotion to be a prapanna when your punya-phalam is ripe enough that you deserve a place in God's abode.

Following are the 9 types of Bhakti Lakshnamulu(Bhakti Nava Ratnala laaga nava vidhamulu)
1)Sravanamu(Listening to holy talks, music, chantings, hymns etc )
2)Kirtanamu (Singing holy songs, bhajans, chantings, hymns etc )
3)Smaranamu (Constantly remembering/memorizing GOD)
4)Paada Seva (Serving his holy feet)
5)Archanamu
6)Vandanamu (Greeting God)
7)Daasyamu (Serving God like a slave - no worries here...God is a very good Master :)
8)Sakhyamu (Befriending God)
9)Aathma Nivedanamu (Prapatti - Culmination of Bhakti and you surrender yourself completely to GOD)
Archanamu(5th step above) ashta vidhamulu - (Performing puja with any of the following 8 things
1.Muggu/Rangavalli(designs - Generally Tamilians follow this style by offering a deepam on top of a muggu)
2.Fragrance(gandham/sandalwood)
3.Akshtalu(yellow rice)
4.Pushpam(flowers)
5.Dhoopam(holy smoke)
6.Deepam(lighted candle)
7.Upaharama(offering food/oblation)
8.Tamboolam(3 beetel leaves, some nutmegs and some currency coins)

Rama Krishna Paramahamsa says you could choose god to be your mother, father, master, teacher, lover(like the gopikas), friend, philosopher or guide. I find "befriending" him is easy because god is "SUHRUTH"(From Vishnu Sahasra Namam) which means "the one with pure heart/a good friend. He would always stand by your side. We have two lovely examples from our itihaasaas that he is a great friend. Rama befriended Sugriva and was his constant companion in happiness and sorrow also. Krishna and Kuchela(Sudhama). We know the story of what happened to Kuchela when Krishna accepted the atukulu(fluffed rice) with affection.

what is difference between stothram,astakam, nyasam, dhyanam

Sthothram or slokam, I think both are same which are like hymns in praise of a god.
Asthakam is also a kind of slokam which consists of 8 stanzas
Sukthams are not slokas as they belongs to vedic hymns, which should be sing with proper notes of tones
Nyasam, dhyanam, and mantram are totally different from slokam and Nyasa and dhyana forms a separate preface for a mantra or sometimes even sloka (like LS or VS).
Nyasa is touching the parts of human body and creating the power over that particular place and cleaning the body by this.
Dhyanam is to clean the mind and also to create focussed thought or form of that particular god/goddess which we are going to worship further.
Mantra is the actual words or alphabets which invokes the corresponding god. It is not like sloka and mantras are very short when compared to slokas.
Slokas are of many types. Asthaka is one. If the same is in the meter of Bhujanga, its called "bhujanga". Similarly, "dasakam" for 10 stanzas, Vrutham is a kind of sloka in tamil, where similar verses are formed with the meter of "vritha".
Pranams
Dhyayeyam rathna peede suka kala padidham shrunvatheem shymalagheemNyasthaikangrim sasi sakaladharam Vallagheem vadhayandheemKalharapaddha maalam niyamidha vilasathCholikam rakthavasthramMathangheem Sangapaathraam madura madhumithamChitrakoth baasi baalaam

Sthothram is derived from the root स्तु to praise. So sthothram means a praise.
Sloka is concerned with prosody. When something is said in the form of a verse it is called a sloka. Some sthothrams are in verse (sloka) form and others in prose which are called 'gadyam'. All slokas need not be sthothram. Some slokas tell about mundane things.
Ashtakam is a collection of 8 verses.
There are dasakams (10 verses), satakams (100 verses) and so on.
Suktam literally means 'well said'. All good sayings are suktams.
Nyasam literally means 'placing'. Touching the various parts of the body with the specific mantras is called nyasam.
Dhyanam means meditating, where the mantra is not audibly pronounced but the object of worship is pondered over.
Mantra refers to that word or phrase which is thought about repeatedly and that which protects the thinker

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVERT.TOSTRING() AND .TOSTRING()

When using the Convert.ToString on a string value it simply returns the value, the ToString on a sting returns this (a reference to the string itself). At that point they have about the same overhead so either will work.
When called on an object, the Convert.ToString will try to convert it an IConvertible interface first, if this fails and the object is not null it will call the ToString on the object. If the object reference is null it returns an empty string. The default behavior of the ToString method on an object is to return the name of the type (this.GetType().ToString()). Calling the ToString method directly has less ovehead but you need to perform a null test prior to calling any methods on the object

Convert.tosting() handles the null objects where as .tostring() can't
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataColumn dc = new DataColumn();
dc = null;
//This will set the variable test to null:
string test = Convert.ToString(dc);
Response.Write(test);
//This will throw an exception:
string test1 = dc.ToString();
Response.Write(test1);
}

Everyone of us have the five elements. they are; Prana, Apana, Vyana, Udana and Samana; they are contolled by the five Prana Indriyas and the five karma Indriyas. That's why, when we take our food, we offer these reverentially to the five Prana Indriyas, viz; Prana to Samana and also to the Controller of these i.e. Brahman. So, it is lastly offered to Brahmanima Swaha. The intention is that when U offer these, they are distributed to the five Karma Indriyas and Ur system is then well equipped. Two things are v essential in this: One: Firm Belief; Second: right thru, the Belief in the Lord who is the total Controller of these.

Suvah is the celestial world or heaven where we enjoythe fruits of our good karma before we take another birth. These three worlds form the lower group of the seven worlds. Mahah is the intermediary between the lower and higher groupof three worlds. The higher three worlds, Janah, Tapah andSatyam are part of the Brahmaloka, representing liberation. Few souls come back to earth from these upper worlds.The mantra declares that everything in the seven lokas isruled by OM the primordial sound of creation, which is alsothe jyoti svarupa of Brahman. In our world of earth the fiveelements are also ruled by OM. Therefore we should meditateon this sound, controlling our breath, for spiritual evolution.

Architecture, three-tier, MVC, MVP

MVC vs three-tier architecture

At first glance, the three tiers may seem similar to the MVC (Model View Controller) concept; however, topologically they are different. A fundamental rule in a three-tier architecture is the client tier never communicates directly with the data tier; in a three-tier model all communication must pass through the middleware tier. Conceptually the three-tier architecture is linear. However, the MVC architecture is triangular: the View sends updates to the Controller, the Controller updates the Model, and the View gets updated directly from the Model

MVC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller

three-tier architecture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture

Architectural pattern
An architectural pattern is rather a concept that captures essential elements of a software architecture. Countless different architectures may implement the same pattern and thereby share the same characteristics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_pattern_(computer_science)1

MVP
Model-view-presenter is a user interface design pattern engineered to facilitate automated unit testing and improve the separation of concerns in presentation logic.
The model is an interface defining the data to be displayed or otherwise acted upon in the user interface.
The view is an interface that displays data (the model) and routes user commands to the presenter to act upon that data.
The presenter acts upon the model and the view. It retrieves data from repositories, persists it, manipulates it, and determines how it will be displayed in the view.
Normally, the view implementation instantiates the concrete presenter object, providing a reference to itself. The following C# code demonstrates a simple view constructor, where ConcreteDomainPresenter implements the IDomainPresenter interface:
public class DomainView: IDomainView
{
private IDomainPresenter mDomainPresenter;

public DomainView()
{
this.mDomainPresenter = new ConcreteDomainPresenter(this);
}
}
The degree of logic permitted in the view varies among different implementations.
At one extreme, the view is entirely passive, forwarding all interaction operations to the presenter. In this formulation, when a user triggers an event method of the view, it does nothing but invoke a method of the presenter which has no parameters and no return value. The presenter then retrieves data from the view through methods defined by the view interface. Finally, the presenter then operates on the model and updates the view with the results of the operation.

Types of Parameters in C#

Parameters are means of passing values to a method.The syntax of passing parameter in C# is
[modifiers] DataType ParameterName
There are four different ways of passing parameters to a method in C#.The four different types of parameters are 1. Value
2. Out
3. Ref
4. Params
1.Value parameters :This is the default parameter type in C#.If the parameter does not have any modifier it is "value" parameter by default.When we use "value" parameters the actual value is passed to the function,which means changes made to the parameter is local to the function and is not passed back to the calling part. using System;
class ParameterTest
{
static void Mymethod(int Param1)
{
Param1=100;
}
static void Main()
{
int Myvalue=5;
MyMethod(Myvalue);
Console.WriteLine(Myvalue);
}
}
Output of the above program would be 5.Eventhough the value of the parameter Param1 is changed within MyMethod it is not passed back to the calling part since value parameters are input only.
2.Out parameters "out" parameters are output only parameters meaning they can only passback a value from a function.We create a "out" parameter by preceding the parameter data type with the out modifier. When ever a "out" parameter is passed only an unassigned reference is passed to the function.

using System;
class ParameterTest
{
static void Mymethod(out int Param1)
{
Param1=100;
}
static void Main()
{
int Myvalue=5;
MyMethod(Myvalue);
Console.WriteLine(out Myvalue);
}
}
Output of the above program would be 100 since the value of the "out" parameter is passed back to the calling part. Note
The modifier "out" should precede the parameter being passed even in the calling part. "out" parameters cannot be used within the function before assigning a value to it. A value should be assigned to the "out" parameter before the method returns.
3.Ref parameters "ref" parameters are input/output parameters meaning they can be used for passing a value to a function as well as to get back a value from a function.We create a "ref" parameter by preceding the parameter data type with the ref modifier. When ever a "ref" parameter is passed a reference is passed to the function.

using System;
class ParameterTest
{
static void Mymethod(ref int Param1)
{
Param1=Param1 + 100;
}
static void Main()
{
int Myvalue=5;
MyMethod(Myvalue);
Console.WriteLine(ref Myvalue);
}
}
Output of the above program would be 105 since the "ref" parameter acts as both input and output.
Note
The modifier "ref" should precede the parameter being passed even in the calling part. "ref" parameters should be assigned a value before using it to call a method.

4.Params parameters "params" parameters is a very useful feature in C#. "params" parameter are used when a variable number of arguments need to be passed.The "params" should be a single dimensional or a jagged array.

using System;
class ParameterTest
{
static int Sum(params int[] Param1)
{
int val=0;
foreach(int P in Param1)
{
val=val+P;
}
return val;
}
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine(Sum(1,2,3));
Console.WriteLine(Sum(1,2,3,4,5));
}
}
Output of the above program would be 6 and 15.
Note
The value passed for a "params" parameter can be either comma separated value list or a single dimensional array. "params" parameters are input only.
