A2 JAI MAA VAISHNO DEVI,Updated Jan 13 10. Panakala Narasimha Swamy temple, Andhra Pradesh. The Narasimha here is offered Panakala (Jaggery water) which is poured directly into the mouth of the deity by a conch.

A4 “Silk Road”, AI Expert19h Ramanujan was a brilliant mathematician who came up with some amazing formulas that are still relevant today. One of his last discoveries was a connection between two types of mathematical functions: modular forms and mock modular forms. Modular forms are like waves that have a lot of symmetry and patterns, while mock modular forms are more complicated and chaotic. But Ramanujan noticed that they had something in common: when you plug in the square root of -1 (also known as i) into both of them, you get very similar results. This is important because it turns out that mock modular forms can help us understand one of the most mysterious objects in the universe: black holes. Black holes have a lot of entropy, which means they are very disordered and unpredictable. But using Ramanujan's mock modular forms, physicists can calculate the entropy of black holes more accurately and easily. Ramanujan claimed that he got his inspiration from a Hindu goddess named Namagiri, who would reveal mathematical secrets to him in his dreams. He didn't have a formal proof for his claim, but he was confident that it was true. He wrote a letter to his mentor, G.H. Hardy, explaining his discovery shortly before he died in 1920. It took almost a century for other mathematicians to verify his intuition and find a rigorous proof. Ramanujan's equations are an example of how pure mathematics can have unexpected applications in physics and cosmology. They also show how a creative mind can transcend the boundaries of conventional logic and discover new truths. Q5 How can 20-year-olds enhance their intelligence? A5 Shivam Rajbhar,1 years working experience science Oct 3 While writing Principia Mathematica, Isaac Newton used to forget to eat, sleep and bathe. While painting, Michelangelo forgot to sleep for days. Were these two intelligent? — They were geniuses. But there are many people with high-intelligence who are losers. Why? Because they don’t tap into their potential. Intellegence is a natural ability to acquire and apply knowledge. Despite your IQ score, learn to apply your potential which these geniuses did. Here is the secret to unlocking your true potential. Flow-State: It’s a state of enhanced performance and immense focus. Artists, scientists, musicians, sportsmen enter this state and create magic. The greats are great because they have the ability to immerse themselves in their work. How to get into flow? — Allow it by removing the blocks. Let go of the idea of discipline, struggle, effort for flow. The more you strive for flow, the further you move away from it. Let go of your expectations regarding your performance. Allow yourself to make mistakes. Once you remove these, you will dissolve your ego and anxiety. You will tap into your potential. The performance will over-flow instead of you squeezing for it.Instead of aiming to increase your intelligence, tap into your existing potential.
