Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was the first person to call Mahatma Gandhi as the ‘Father of the Nation.’ Later, the Parliament of Independent India officially recognised Gandhiji as the Father of the Nation.

=======================
*अहिंसाप्रतिष्ठायां तत्संनिधौ वैरत्यागः।*

ahiṃsāpratiṣṭhāyāṃ tatsaṃnidhau vairatyāgaḥ।

As a Yogi becomes firmly grounded in non-violence (Ahimsa), other people who come near will naturally lose any feelings of hostility.
=======================
🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉️ =======================
*What is the working principle of loudspeaker?* 📢📣*

To make sound, a loudspeaker is driven by modulated electric current (produced by an amplifier) that passes through a “speaker coil” which then (through inductance) creates a magnetic field around the coil, creating a magnetic field.

A current in the coil creates a magnetic field. the magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet generating a force, which pushes the cone outwards. the current is made to flow in the opposite direction.

(kindly inform, if given info is differ from actual facts🙏🏻) =======================
*Durvasa दुर्वासा* : He is known for his short temper. Hence, wherever he went, he was received with great reverence from humans and devas alike.

According to *Brahmanda Purana,* Brahma and Shiva once got into a heated quarrel. So violent was Shiva’s rage as a result of this quarrel, that the devas fled from his presence in fear. His consort, Parvati, complained that Shiva was now impossible to live with. Realizing the disharmony his anger had caused, he decided to deposit this anger into Anasuya, the wife of sage Atri. From this portion of Shiva deposited into Anasuya, a child was born, who was named ‘Durvasa’ (lit. one who is difficult to live with). Because he was born of Shiva’s anger, he had an irascible nature.
