Q2 What universities existed in Tamil Nadu during the Sangamage similar to Takshasila and Nalanda? A2 Venkata Rao February 15-2021Ph.D in Psychology, Monash University, Australia The concept of University was alien to early Hindu ( Brahmin society).Learning was done in Gurukulas . Gurukula was run by a Brahmin family usually husband and wife and theSishyas will reside in the Guru’s house doing the household chores andlearn Vedas and other scriptures . This will go on for a few years till periodof Brahmacharya is over and then the sishya will depart and be on his own. Sishyas who lived in theneighbourhood of the Guru will be day scholars. The concept of a university isa Buddhist idea . The Buddhists were against the Gurukula system and they used to teachtheir doctrines to anyone irrespective of caste. Also Buddhists encouragedwriting and thus their doctrines were written in various types of dried leavesand preserved. Thus libraries came into being. Teaching was done near theselibraries and thus universities were formed. Both Taxila and Nalanda wereBuddhist universities in North India and they were built by Buddhist kings in north India. Buddhistkings never ruled south India . Tamilnadu was always ruled by Hindu kings and this could be the reasonwhy University proper was not started in Tamilnadu. The Brahmins present in south India also followed the gurukula systemonly. Q3 What is the chord line in Indian Railways?

A4 Sunitha Parapatla March26, 2020 Devotee of God Shiva and a Home maker Sanjivani Bhooti, the miracle herb which would bring almost dead to lifewas existing since times immemorial on our planet. It came into people’s notice inTrethayug, after Lord Hanuman brought the herb from Himalayas to Sri Lanka to relieveLakshman from unconsciousness, when he fainted during the war with King Ravana. But Sanjivani herb was usedbefore in Satyaguya by the Guru of the Asuras or demons, Sukracharya. Sukracharya did years ofpenance for God Shiva and Shiva pleased with his penance granted him theSanjeevani mantra ( a formula that revived the dead). With this knowledge, he relievedmany Asuras back to life. Butas the time passed by, because of ignorance and losing of all the great booksand knowledge passed on by our ancestors, we lost the sanjivani herb and it'spowers may be. In my perspective, every Yuga has one dharma and it has to abide to thatparticular Yuga. So in this Kaliyug, the dark age where adharma is at its peak,maybe the Sanjivani herb may not work with the same intensity with which it workedin Satya yuga or Trethayuga.

A8 4 Answers-James Alexander-Rodriguez, War vet, former airline + ITtech, starving writer. 24-2-2021 Plants use the energy ofsunlight to cleave the relatively stable chemical bonds between the carbon andoxygen atoms in a carbon dioxide molecule. In photosynthesis, the CO2 molecule is initially bondedto nitrogen atoms, making reactive compounds called carbamates. Helge Tolleshaug, Ph.D.Cell Biology & Chemistry (1974)24-2-2021 Plants do not directly split Carbon dioxide into Carbon and oxygen. They use light energy to splitwater, releasing oxygen as a by-product. Hydrogen is retained as areducing compound that can be used to reduce carbon dioxide in a specificenzymatic reaction involving CO2 bound to a sugar molecule. Nour Abdelaziz 24-2-2021 Plants convert carbon dioxideand water into sugar and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Plants absorb carbondioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. A small amount of carbondioxide is released during leaf respiration (intake of oxygen), but it isquickly reabsorbed during photosynthesis.
