Thease are the notes from the workshop which had about pureland budhism in banglore fireflies.
This is a Buddhist religion which talks about amithabudha as a god like figure and believes worshipping him will give us the rebirth in Pureland. First, we have to see what is polyethnic and monoethnic religions. Monoethenic religions are the religion which believes in a single god also an evil so thereafter they are in a constant fight between good and bad all Abrahams religions are like this.
Lets see about polyethenic relegion, these are the religion which talks about different gods and different ideas as such. They don't define what is good and bad only says just assume that we are so good and approach life god realization will happen gradually nobody can't be so good and nobody can't be so bad.
Now come back to Pureland Buddhism Pureland Buddhism believe salvation is only possible after death. One thing is that there is no death only, and you are not going to get anything after death, everything is here and reveled. And believing in single god is the product of monoethenic religion which will not give anything apart from some blind followers.
I am concluding any religions which demand you to believe something extraordinary without using your common sense is nothing but a bad deal. Not only for you also to humanity.
Hinduism is a religion which took immorality as morality believes Brahman is the absolute and when he do Leela entire creation happen. Teaching that instead of following a dogma or religious practice give self inquiry constantly and try to answer the most famous question Of Ramana Maharshi "Who am I?"
Over a period of time christian missionaries and mohammadeyans killed almost all kinds of creativity possible by Hinduism. Resulted celibate gurus and monks (None of the Hindu monks were celibate all were married and had three or four wives with kids) all over the asrms in India and abroad.
Nataraja guru was the wisdom successor of Narayana guru, he founded a guru shishya Sampradaya called Narayana Gurukula his successor guru Nithya renamed it as an east west university of brahmavidya aiming to unite the wisdom from east and west resulted a series of gurukulas and ashrams on the both sides of kanakpura road Banglore.
Two of the gurukulas was having direct connection with Varkala which functions as the head of Narayana gurukulas all over the world. Gurukula (Died one)
This was previously located on the opposite side of the main gate of Ravishankar arm. This Gurukula is no more working its gone completely. Now we can see a school there.

I reached here when I was doing my second year of BE This spreads across ten acres of land and I met an Anglo Indian lady here she introduced herself as maa.... Always smiling and working with cows. She was the disciple of natraja guru also colleagues of guru Nithya. I happened to be her student for almost six years from now. When I am writing this she crossed her 70s with with kids and grand children.

This place is found by Sidharth as the matter of building a place which connects all cultures together and finding a way of eco-spirituality we could see the Seetha devi temple here. She is the daughter of mother earth. This place doesn't have any direct connection with gurukulas but this connected with it one way or another. This place too surrounded by marvelous arts of sahadev.

One of the very best site seeing trip for those who like to enjoy an altered way of life style for a short period one of the interesting place to go.
An arm located on kanakapura road other than that of other arms here you can't find any kind of gurus. Based on the philosophy "Nature is the spiritual truth" Surrounded by a lot of artifacts from deep spiritual meaning to meaningless.
Most of you might be knowing the philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurthy the one who groomed by any Bessant. He set up schools across the globe his philosophy is that the learning will only happen if you unlearn. A school which thinks about the way of philosophy.
His name is vishwamithra ram ram he set up an ashram for kids he believed if you give basic needs for kids such as shelter and food they will find their own path we don't have to put any kind of ideology in front of them.
A guru Kula set up by one of the disciples of natraja guru a wisdom successor of narayana guru,for the training of those who are interested to climb mountain. Here I met a person named Gaurav, he is teaching survival skills. Through his academy known as Earth adventure project
"One cast, One religion, One kind"This is one of the famous quotes written by Narayana guru a guru got birth in Chempazhanthi Kerala.
After Shankaracharya he is the other mystic and scholar of advaitha vedantha got birth in kerala.

A very peace full spiritual regeneration centre Here I met one of the interesting soul called sahadev an artist walks on the road of mystics. Gurukulka is surrounded with his interesting works all around. Later I become his follower and lived with him for almost 2 years.
I started to learn a little bit about MEAN Stack and the power which it gives to application development. On the way I spent some time with yii2 and other cool shit out there on the market. Including redis, Phonix&elixer, Nagios, hashcat, jeera Here we go.
Some of the interesting facts which I have noticed from all these experiments are as follows.
1) It is very good to have a detailed overview of the application which we intended to develop. Such as having a blueprint of the urls which is in CRUD app building.
For example, if we are going to build a web app named articlesxyz.com and assuming it is going to restful than having an excel sheet with all these then definitely it is going to reduce our headache.
*Method URL
GET articlesxyz.com/getart.php?id=12
PUT articlesxyz.com/addart.php?id=12
UPDATE articlesxyz.com/updateart.php?id=12
DELETE articlesxyz.com/deleteart.php?id=12
For all these operations node js is has its own api
This stack overflow question is definitely an ice breaker
3)If we come to mobile app development then there is two awesome stuffs are available. One is the meter and the other one is ionic. Using these two or any of them, we can build great applications which is scalable in a easy way. http://blog.ionic.io/ionic-and-meteor/
4)Hash cat is an amazing tool to crack encrypted and unsalted passwords.
