People who don't marry are more likely to become morally corrupt e.g many saints and shankaracharyas. Many people taking vow of celibacy may create an atmosphere of PEER PRESSURE on many other people(not equal to such sacrifice) who may do the same just to follow a good example only to crack in the end bringing shame to themselves and the party. I sincerely respect such vows and full faith in such people,but to keep the magic of it alive I'll lik to suggest that such bhishmapratigyas should not be made public.It should be kept in the heart to do it full justice. Otherwise I m afraid that we are going to miss such people who can do any great sacrifice instinctively,in a crowd of followers. PEER PRESSURE-it is a kind of pressure felt by a person in a group when he/she tries to adopt and digest the ways of that group. The new comer tries to become equal to other people by mindless adoration and adoptation.It works more on idolescent or fickle minded people. The person trying to do the best done forgets his mental and emotional limits and end in either self gratification or depression. As far as I know ,there r many kids willing to join,who might willingly make any such vow and then feel to embarassed to turn it down. If u r real serious abt making it all a success then I suggest u read psychology.

Pl. react to this. Dear Knowledgable & Expert Friends, Pl. react to this News / Research item that Forests can be harmful to the Nature. Tree planting is not always green ,and that " Forests can suck up water and change the soil.............. " (Arvind Kale) NAGPUR (India) News Published online: 22 December 2005; | doi:10.1038/news051219-14 Tree planting not always green*Forests can suck up water and change the soil.* Michael Hopkin <http://www.nature.com/news/about/aboutus.html#Hopkin> These pine plantations in South Africa were shown to dry up local streams. *(c) Science*Planting forests to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere can have a range of side effects, including drying up streams and making soil saltier, according to a global study. The discovery highlights the tradeoffs involved in tree-planting projects, say researchers. Because plants use carbon dioxide to grow, planting forests of large, fast-growing trees is one way to remove the gas from the atmosphere, thus staving off global warming. But such forests need a lot of water, say Robert Jackson, of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and his colleagues. The team surveyed more than 500 places where new forests have been planted over the past half-century. In 13% of cases, streams dried up completely for at least a year. On average, plantations cut local stream flow by more than 50%. "It doesn't matter where you are in the world, when you grow trees on croplands, you use more water," Jackson says. The effect can reduce the water available for drinking and irrigation, and harm local aquatic ecosystems. And forest soils are saltier and more acidic, compared with other types of plant cover such as crops or grasslands, the researchers found. They publish their results in this week's issue of *Science*1<http://www.nature.com/news/2005/051219/full/051219-14.html#B1> . *Carbon trading* These changes occur partly because tree-planting projects choose fast-growing species that suck up more carbon dioxide, Jackson explains. Often these are evergreen trees that grow all year round, meaning that they take up a lot of carbon dioxide and water. Some changes to water flow may be desirable, the team points out. For example, forest plantations in the US agricultural belt have reduced nutrient runoff from farmlands into the sea, which can cause algal blooms that kill marine life. The key is to consider local factors when implementing afforestation projects, the researchers argue. "Policy-makers often have a set of 'carbon blinders' on - they're thinking and talking only about carbon," Jackson says. Some nations and companies are currently planting forests as a way of earning 'carbon credits' in international carbon markets. These allow greenhouse-gas emitters such as power companies to balance their emissions by buying carbon savings elsewhere. The Clean Development Mechanism, the United Nations framework that approves and validates such efforts for projects under the Kyoto Protocol, has also approved the method of reforesting degraded land to suck up carbon. No forest-planting project has so far been registered by this mechanism, but Jackson says afforestation projects could be accredited soon. He only hopes that all the costs - including the effect on water - are being taken into account, he says. *The begining of the Civilization depended on AGRICULTURE - so does it's FUTURE.* ============================================================================== TOPIC: Information in Hindi http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/16a12474ed5a5cbf ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Sat, Jan 14 2006 1:53 am From: "amritesh" I do agree with you people.We must have a hindi website so that we can make people aware who dont understand english so well.English has also different levels and the way we communicate frequently uses a lot of standard and case specific words which some people who even know english do not understand properly.I have seen many of mu friends who even know english very well, prefer to read any magzine or Newspaper in his mother language. And a vast population of India has Hindi as their mother tongue.To make people fully aware of what exactly we are doing, in their own language is very important for fast propagation of our network.We want right things to be done and language should never become any speed breaker or barrier into it.We can make sites in hindi or in other languages depending upon the availability of softwares.I request people with their expertise in that area to please come up and volunteer for this great mission. Please spare some time..... This will definitely give us multiple times return of our effort.
