Q1         How is science used in farming?

A1          Navneet Kumar Sharma, studied at Bachelor of Science inAgriculture 
Answered 9m ago

Obviously there is science 

Without the involvement of science, only farming cannot feed the 
entirepopulation of world with varieties of food.

Without involvement of science, the world or nation may suffer fromserious 
famines as in the past.

As we already know, Irishfamine, Bengal famine happen only because of lack of 
science in farming.Both the famine approximately kills 4–5 millions of 
population. Both famine arethe result of serious disease caused by pathogen. So 
without science, onecannot protect one's crop from these diseases.

After developing the approach ofscience by the scientist, we came to know 
various aspects in which our cropscan be protected.

Invention of pesticides and fertilisers. Using fertilisers one can savecrop 
from nutrition deficiency, and can maximise the production. Without theuse of 
pesticides one cannot even imagine to control the attack of pest likeinsects, 
rats, pathogen.

Discovering the croppingpattern. By discovery cropping pattern one can know the 
sowing season, plant toplant distance, pattern of cropping to avoid weed 
infestation, to protect soil from erosion and to utilise maximumpotential of 
land

discovering the way with which how crop reacts with various 
environmentalfactors( day length, climate, water and moisture stress, soil, 
topography,insects, microorganisms) without knowing how much water and light a 
crop needswe may end up im crop failure, without providing favourable climate 
we wouldget least production, without knowing the preparation and cultivation 
of soilgood amount of seed sprouting would not occur.

 

Q2  Who is the goddess Aditi in Hinduism?

A2          Rami Sivan Priest, Dharma teacher, counsellor, Gov. 
Advisor(1998–present)Sun

ADITI is one of the most important goddesses of the Veda. She is the sky 
goddess, the wife ofPrajāpati Kaśyapa whose name means “Clear Vision” and she 
is the mother of thegods.

Aditi means “the Primordial Vastness”, “the totality” “the 
integratedconsciousness” “the undivided” — she is the first Goddess and gave 
birth to the Adityas who embody thelaws of the Cosmos both Niskala and Sakala.

Aditi’s offspring therefore are the forces of Order in the Universe.Order in 
the cosmos and the psychic balance in the individual arise from anintegrated 
and well harmonised consciousness - undivided.

Aditi’s co-wife was Diti whosename means “divided” or “split” consciousness. 
She had a deep animosity towards Indra and conceived a son whowould kill him. 
Indracame to know of the plot and divided the embryo into 49 pieces all of 
whombecame the storm gods - the Maruts.

Diti also gave birth to Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaṣipu who were enemies ofVishnu 
and were dispatched byhim.

So this myth depicts the Chaos that arise when the consciousness isdivided and 
split i.e. split off from reality.

viśve̍-de̱vā adi̍ti̱ḥ pañca̱-janā̱ adi̍tir jā̱tam adi̍ti̱r jani̍tvam ||

Yajur Veda 25:23. Aditi is theheaven, Aditi is the atmosphere,Aditi is the 
Mother and the Father and Child. Aditi is all Gods, Aditi 
thefive-classification of humanity, Aditi is all that has been born and shall 
beborn.

The pitfalls of seeing dualityand difference and notacknowledging  the Unity 
andinterconnectedness underlying all things is taught in Kaṭhopaṇiṣad 4.

Failure to comprehend the essential unity of all Being is the cause ofrebirth.

10. Whatever is here, that is there. Whatever is there, that too, ishere. 
Whoever perceives anything like duality here goes from death to death.

11. By cogitation alone is this to be realised. There is no duality 
here.Whoever perceives anything like duality here, goes from death to death.

14. As water rained upon an inaccessible height flows down in variousways among 
the hills; so one who views things as seperate runs after them(distractedly).

15. As pure water poured forth into pure water becomes the very same, sothe 
Self, O Gautama, of the meditator who has insight becomes (one with theSupreme).

Q4         Is it a good idea to marry a man with a disabled sibling? 

A4          Will our life bedifficult when the parents get old and we have to 
look after the sibling. Willit not be possible to have a normal marital Life 
with a career and children.

There is a simple thing called“humanity “ dear.

Look at it this way, by marrying a man having a disabled sibling, you get a 
chance to be of somehelp.

Why should helping someone in the family, taking the responsibility toserve a 
needy person should be looked at as “difficulty”?

What is normal marital life? Normalmarital life is nothing but being there for 
each other whenever there is aneed.

Parents do get old one day when it is our duty as children to give themcare.

I have a niece. She did very well in her academics. She went to a 
gooduniversity in the US to do her masters. Later she got a very good placement.

She got married to the elder one in a family of parents with two sons.Her 
husband is equally qualified as her.

Her brother in law, herhusband’s younger brother has Down’s syndrome.

As you said, eventually her both in laws and the brother in law moved totheir 
house in the US.

My niece is a mother of two children herself.Now she has a big jointfamily in 
the US. She is also working ( in a very high position).

Now in the US, you will not get regular maid even if you are amillionaire.Still 
she is able to maintain beautifully.

All that is required is an openmindedness from all the people involved.

As the girl accepts all the family of her husband as hers, the husbandtoo 
should accept that his wife has risen to great heights as a human being andshe 
deserves reciprocal respect.

In laws too should be equallyloving. They should alsorealise her effort. They 
should do all that is in their ability to give herrespite to be with her 
maternal family as frequently as possible.

 

Q4         What is a known cause of ADHD in children?

A4          Akhil Kasinolla, Chief Operating Officer (2020-present) Answered21h 
ago

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Studies show thatbrain chemicals, called neurotransmitters, don’t work the same 
in children andadults with ADHD. There also tend to be differences in the way 
nervepathways work.

Certain parts of the brain maybe less active or smaller in children with ADHD 
than those without thedisorder.

The brain chemical dopaminemay also play a role. It carries signals between 
nerves in the brain and islinked to movement, sleep, mood, attention, and 
learning.

Q5         In a marriage, whose side rituals are performed, the bride'sside or 
the groom's side?

A5          Ramadevi Gidugu Former Self Employed, Full Time Mother. Sat

If it is a Hindu marriage, till the ‘Kanyadaan'( kanyapradaan is actualword ) 
all rituals are followed according to the girl's side.

With a noble heart bride's parents are ready to send their Daughter togroom's 
family to expand their clan, to become next female head of their house, to 
continue their traditionsand culture. To build a beautiful nest( family) with 
the help of her husbandand her in-laws for her future family.

Bride’s parents are the givers. Groom side are receivers.

>From arrangements to kanyapradaan it's brides parents right to decide,whom to 
>invite, where to conduct, what to give what to spend, how many gueststo call, 
>everything. 

Receiver never have any right to demand. These things are done by 
bride'sparents because it's taking place in their house. Giver has the all the 
pride,honour, charity. His hand is upper side. Receiver's hand is downside. He 
can'tdemand anything.

Unfortunately present days scenario is different. It's our own makeugliest 
thing. According to Hindu dharma brides parents decide everything.

Another misconception is bride is given as a ‘daan'. Charity. Donation.No. It's 
wrong ideology.

If it is a daan, if the bride is given to groom permanently like anobject. 
After giving her, parents won't be having any rights on her. Once giftis given 
you won't be having any rights on it.

Here it's not like that. She is assigned a responsibility with her will.Any 
time she can go to her parents place. They can come to her. If she getsangry 
she may choose to come back to her parents permanently. If she istroubled any 
time parents can bring her back. She has all the rights in inlaw'shouse.

Moreover there are a lot oftraditions which involves bride's side people in 
every function, rituals thattakes place in bride's place’.

>From marriage to baby shower, naming, mundan, puberty celebration,upanayanam, 
>etc in each function bride’s brother, if she doesn't have one, herparents, 
>cousins, some one from her family is must to attend and do theformalities.

It is to ensure girl’s sidepeople, they are still important to them even after 
marriage. Her inlaws has to maintain good relations with her parentsotherwise 
her parents don't come even if they are invited. They should berespected. Groom 
should realise that. If it doesn't happen, bride feels bad andfeels sad. A sad 
woman can't take care of her in-laws family happily.

So, no doubt. Without anyconfusion, realise, till the bride's kanyaa pradaan 
groom side people don't have any rights on her. Everything is doneaccording to 
bride's traditions.

Once bride comes to your house she would follow your traditions since 
shewillingly took the responsibility and came to your house. Then she also 
willhave all the rights on groom and in his family.

Traditions are beautiful and created with good intentions.

It's we! the manipulaters. Wemake them in to ugliest. We twist and turn them in 
to mean, onesided for our selfish needs. Then obviously women reject them.Then 
we cry our culture and traditions are lost.

Ok. Times have changed. Now manylike to treat marriage' as a contract like in 
abrahamic religions than sacredreunion as per Hindu dharma. No more they want 
to consider it as a sacred relationship. It's considered asequal partnership.

So, it's up to them. We believe in ‘Ardha nareeswara tatwam. Wife andhusband 
should compliment each other.

Now, coming to the question again, in marriage' only bride's side ritualsare 
followed till the kanyapradaan. 

Q6         If an entire locomotive is working on electricity, then why arethere 
batteries provided in the locomotive?

A6          Subhasis Dutta RoyUpdated October 1, 2020 Working in IndianRailways 
at Indian Railways (2001–present)

If your car battery becomes defective or there are no car batteries inyour car, 
then how will you start your car?

Either you have to connect your car to another car for the input ofoutsourcing 
electrical energy from other cars or you have to use mechanicalenergy like 
pushing your car and switch the ignition key to start your car.

Batterie of a car is essentialto start the first ignition of IC engine of that 
car. After starting the dynamoof car will takes the responsibility of battery 
tosupply electricity to all the electrical circuit.

Both the diesel and electriclocomotive have powerful electrical batteries. In 
diesel locomotive, thosebatteries are used the same as trucks for the first 
ignition. 

There are a total of eight batteries provide in diesel locomotives. Theycontain 
in a battery box near the loco pilot cabin.

After starting the of locomotive dynamo will take responsibility frombatteries 
to supply it's a battery-operated electrical circuit. It is totallydifferent 
from the electricity produced by Locomotive's alternator. Batteriesnow in 
charging condition.

In electric locomotive, batteriesare primarily starting a battery-operated 
motor. 

It creates pressure to lift thepantograph. After lifting the pantograph it time 
to now close the DJ a specialcircuit breaker. Two battery box containing two in 
each box placed both sides of Locomotive. Totaleight batteries are provided in 
the electric locomotive.

After closing of DJ the OHE electricity feed to Locomotive. A special apparatus 
namedbattery charger now come into functioning. This will take the 
responsibility tofeed the electricity to the battery-operated circuit, hold the 
DJ, headlights,fans, etc. The batteries are now in charging condition through 
abattery charger.

So batteries are most and very much important for both diesel andelectric 
locomotive.

never accepted slavery to anyone but instead chose death.Read with pride
