Using WhatsApp on your Computer with Chrome Browser

By
WhatsApp, the most popular instant messaging app in the world as of now, has its own advantages and disadvantages, of course like any other app.

But compared with many apps like Skype, Viber, Facebook messenger, Gtalk or Hangouts, one of the main disadvantages with WhatsApp has been its lack of computer interface.

It is also due to the fact that WhatsApp relies on phone identification unlike Blackberry which uses a PIN system.

However WhatsApp has addressed this missing feature now officially by providing a web interface which can work on browsers. Particularly with Chrome, it is working nicely.


We at ViprasCraft have tried verifiying this new feature of WhatsApp on a Windows 8.1 computer on Chrome browser.

How to connect the phone and the computer?
  1. First you need to update your WhatsApp version. When you have the latest version, you will notice a new option under ‘menu’ as ‘WhatsApp Web’.
  2. Now open http://web.whatsapp.com and you’ll see a QR code (Quick response code in square shape) on the computer screen which you need to scan with your phone using the ‘WhatsApp Web’ option mentioned above. For that your phone needs to have the camera so that WhatsApp can read this QR code.
  3. Once the code is properly read, your computer session is memorized by the application and you can start using WhatsApp on your computer. After sometime if you wish, you can also log out of the computers.
The following screenshots help you understand this better:

 You need to keep your phone turned on, and your internet shall be working too both on your phone and on your computer. You can have internet in any method like using cellular data on phone, WiFi for the computer, or WiFi for both the computer and phone, or cellular data for phone, cable internet for the computer, etc.

 The important thing is that you have internet active always on both the devices as long as you are using your computer for accessing WhatsApp on your Chrome browser.

MOHA(DELUSION)

By
Image
Moha(Delusion) is a  state of mind which does not permit scope for discrimination. It is ignorant of the true facts and is the origin of egoism. It is one of the six bad vices and prevents one from knowing the truth and makes one addict to the gratification of sensual pleasures and makes us run after the material enjoyment. This can cause any misery in one's life and binds the soul to the process of birth and death.  The main obstacle for one's spiritual heritage causing him to lose knowledge of his true being is Moha(Delusion). This internal enemy drags the humans form all the sides away from the soul and makes life miserable. Lord Srikrishna, in Bhagavath Githa in Chapter.16 verse 16,  cautions us about the effect of Moha ( Delusion).  " Aneka - chitta - vibhrantah  moha-jala  samavritah prasanth kama - bhogeshu  patani matale shuchau" . Possessed and led astray by such imaginings enveloped in Mo...

What is Transmission of Yogic energy(Pranahuti)?

By
Image
In Sanskrit, 'prana' means life-force and 'ahuti' means offering. So pranahuti means ‘offering of the life-force’.  Pranahuti(transmission) is a way to accelerate one's spiritual growth with the grace of a Spiritual Master. The energy flows directly from the Spiritual Master to the individual via heart to heart. In the spiritual practice, the flow of yogic power from the Master to the disciples plays an important role in the transformation of man into a perfect human being. It regulates the mental tendency from going off track and thereby brings his senses and activities into a state of perfect balance and moderation. Spiritual training for the attainment of higher stages is only possible only by the process of Yogic transmission and by no other means. In support of this verify the following:  It is stated as follows in the 3rd sloka of Dakshinamurthy Stotram by  Adi Sankara Charya. "Citraṃ vaṭa-taror-mūle vṛuddhāḥ śiṣhyāḥ gurur yuvā    Gurostu maun...

Sahaj Marg is the Natural and Simplest path of Realization

By
Image
Sahaj Marg is the Natural path of Realization. This is the system followed in the Rama Chandra Mission, Shahjahanpur (UP) India , a mission founded by Mahatma Shri Ram Chandraji Maharaj . On the occasion of Birth Centenary celebrations of Shri Ram Chandraji Maharaj held on 9 th and 10 th February 2000 at Cuddapah centre, the Abhyasi Shri T.V. Srinivasa Rao , Advocate, has elucidated to us, the following, “ Sahaj Marg in a nut shell ” in the words of Shri Rama Chandraji. The Mission : Great men are not accidentally born. They are born when the world needs them most. Such is the usual course of Nature. The present life or gross materialism has led the world to the very verge of decay and ruin. Degradation has almost reached the final stage. Morality is tottering hopelessly. Irreligiousness is gaining ground in almost every mind. Selfishness, prejudice and vanity have become the prominent features of the day. Ungodliness is rampant everywhere. Clouds of ignorance and sin...

Parents' Role in Shaping Children's Behaviour.

By
Good behaviour is the outward expression of an inner order — it reflects a person's character, values, and consciousness. It is not just about manners or external politeness; it is the natural fragrance that arises from a well-cultivated mind and a pure heart. At the human level, good behaviour means living with respect for oneself and others, showing kindness, honesty and self-control in all interactions. In short, good behaviour is living in harmony with dharma, with a mind filled with love and a heart tuned to the higher purpose of life.  It is the bridge between human life and divine life.  In the fast-paced life of today, the meaning of good behaviour often gets blurred by ambition, technology, and competition. Children are quick to learn digital skills but slow to learn emotional sensitivity. The old foundation of respect for parents, teachers, and elders is weakening, not because the young are bad, but because guidance through examples has become rare.  Sri Ra...

Split any file - Exchange in an email - Join the parts easily

By
We want to share some very good files with our friends but sometimes the file sizes can become a limitation to be sent in an email. If we use a messenger service then it may be possible to exchange the file directly without any email, but even for doing this we need to have the sender and the receiver using the same messenger at both sides. Suppose if there are problems with the internet speed and the sender and receiver using two different messenger or email programs the things will become a mess. So what is the solution? For this kind of a problem, HJSplit software is the solution.

The Real Way of Life as defined by Sahaj Marg

By
If you are a follower of Sahaj Marg , you might know very well what Mahatma Sri Ramachandraji Maharaj says about the Way of Life . However for the first time readers/visitors, here is the summary of Babuji's spiritual wisdom . The end of 'Religion' is the beginning of 'Spirituality', the end of 'Spirituality' is the beginning of 'Reality' and the end of 'Reality' is the 'Real Bliss'. When that too is gone we have reached the 'Destination'. That is it. That is Sahaj Marg and Babuji's great and priceless message summarized for you! What we can understand from the above sentences is that one has to evolve step by step from the stages of Religion, Spirituality, Reality and Bliss and further  on to the real goal of life i.e., mergence with the Ultimate  losing total individuality.  For this one need not leave his regular way of life.  Only thing one has to do is to regularize one's way of life.

IBM ThinkPad security is great with the BIOS Password

By
IBM uses a secured EEPROM chip soldered on the motherboard of each laptop they manufacture. And they will set a specific password for each computer. According to IBM, when you buy the laptop, they will provide the ‘BIOS password’ or ‘Supervisor Password’ to you. That particular password termed as ‘ Supervisor Password’ is the BIOS password on all IBM Lenovo laptops. Even if you are the owner of a laptop if you lose your BIOS password, you need to take your laptop along with the proof of purchase to an IBM vendor and he will replace your mother board if it is under warranty or will charge you a fee for replacement. So regarding IBM ThinkPad Laptops’ security, the advantage is that without knowing the BIOS password even if somebody tries to physically remove the original hard disk supplied along with the laptop and replace it with a new blank hard disk, the hard disk just gets detected and they can’t use a bootable CD to install a n...

First job versus Higher Studies - Things to know before decision making

By
Sometimes our life plays with us putting us in Cross roads where we have different paths to choose. And we need to really have some idea about each of the roads otherwise we may simply go in some road only to find out later that we are at a ‘Point of no return’. These cross roads are our different goals in life and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but at some point of time, we must chose only one road or one goal leaving the others. This is when the trouble starts. For a student who has completed his basic graduation and has not achieved better academic results, the situation to choose between a small Job to start his/her professional career and to go for Higher studies, is like putting him/her at the Cross roads with the puzzle unsolved. This article only helps you to understand a little better about the practical situations of life which helps you in proper decision making. Things to Know before this Decision making: 1. As soon as we finish our studies, we will b...

Critics are disguised Compliments, so get Inspired and do your best for Success in your life

By
After a long time I got a chance to share some thoughts with you. I had gone through some books this time again, I am learning a bit of knowledge every time from them. While reading about Lord Rama in Bhagavatham I was so inspired by the way Lord Rama treats his brothers. Rama is a good example for a son, brother, husband and for a great emperor as well. There is an incident in Ramayana in which Rama was playing with his brothers and after the play was over Rama went to ‘Kaikeyi’ (his step mother) and told her that he was defeated by Bharatha (his brother) with a large smile on his face and happiness, but Bharatha complained that Rama was losing the game every time to make Bharatha happy and win the game. The lesson we can learn from it is those who serves others will reap more. Giving is a joy in comparison to Receiving . This is a simple principle in life ‘the life lead for others (for other’s happiness) is more worthy and has a meaning for it.’ For a man to live without self...
