Re: [Assam] Mount Radhanath, NOT Mount Everest

[Himendra Thakur]

Dear Umesh,   Your comment is surely the "the highest Negative Attitude the World."   I am sorry to observe that this is a general trend now-a-days. Similarly, when I proposed the "ATAN BURAGOHAIN SAKO" to cross three centuries of inferiority complex, Mr. Chandan Mahanta came forward with his "... Garbage Dump" attitude to say that the bridge will be used to "dump garbage."   It seems there are too much of grabage everywhere, particularly in people's mind.   Human Consciousness is the Crown of Life. Loss of a Positive MInd is the greatest loss that one may suffer. It is important to develop a positive mind with fearlessness, purity, charity, self-control, sacrifice, austerity, uprightness, non-viloence, truth, renunciation, compassion, gentleness, modesty, steadiness, vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, aversion to fault-finding, freedom from anger, freedom from covetousness, freedom from malice ...   all positive qualities.   "Mount Radhanath, NOT Mount Everest" was an effort to rebuild the lost self-confidence and save the country from the inferiority complex that has opened the floodgate of garbage.     With the best wishes, Himendra     ----- Original Message ----- From: umesh sharma To: Himendra Thakur Cc: Pankaj Saharia ; assam@assamnet.org Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2006 10:18 AM Subject: Re: [Assam] Mount Radhanath, NOT Mount Everest Himendra-da,   I would say that rather than focusing on "name-calling" of Moutnt Everest we should focus on removing its title as "the highest Garbage Dump of the World."   Umesh Himendra Thakur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear Umesh,   Thanks for the magnificient pictures of the Mount Everest. This peak has different names in Nepal & Tibet, but in our childhood, we heard an alternative name Gourishankar Shringa. Now I understand that is the name of another peak.   I think it was 1852 when one Indian mathematician, Radhanath Sikdar, calculating manually with his hand-made 13-figure trigonometric tables [no calculator/computer in those days!!! ], using a theodolite from a distance of 150 miles from the peak #15, calculated its altitude as 29,002 feet, the tallest in the world, and reported the matter to his boss, Mr. Everest. The British Administration of India named the peak as Mount Everest.   With so many re-naming going on, I think we should rename this peak as "Mount Radhanath"   I urge the netters to dig out the history and discuss the matter in the net.   With love to everybody, Himendra ----- Original Message ----- From: umesh sharma To: assam@assamnet.org Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2006 4:38 PM Subject: Re: [Assam] c this 1 Mt Everest Map;Gaumukh glacier-Geo teacher computerized- Bihari-Chinki http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Mount+Everest,+Nepal&t=h&om=1 Here is the map for Mt Everest, Nepal. Seems not much different from the one for Gaumukh Glacier area though.. Same types of glaciers though emanating on all sides of the giant white mass in the center. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org Umesh Sharma 5121 Lackawanna ST College Park, MD 20740 1-202-215-4328 [Cell Phone] Ed.M. - International Education Policy Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard University, Class of 2005 weblog: http://jaipurschool.bihu.in/ Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
