Gopala krishnan, on 17-10-2023* *Q1 Why do birds and planes not fly above the Jagannath Temple of Puri?* *A1 Sushil Kumar, Former Assistant Manager at IOCL PETROL (2007–2019)Jul 31* *There are two main reasons why birds and planes do not fly above the Jagannath Temple of Puri:* *Religious beliefs: According to Hindu mythology,** the temple is guarded by Garuda, the king of birds. It is believed that Garuda would attack any bird that flies over the temple, so birds avoid doing so out of respect. * *There is also a belief that the Nilachakra, a wheel made of eight metals that is placed on top of the temple, emits a powerful energy that prevents birds from flying over it.* *Scientific reasons: The temple is located in a** coastal area, and the winds are very strong at high altitudes. This makes it difficult for birds to fly over the temple, and it is also dangerous for planes. * *Additionally, the temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and there are regulations in place that prohibit flying over it.* *In reality, it is likely that a combination of both religious and scientific reasons contribute to the fact that birds and planes do not fly over the Jagannath Temple of Puri.* *Here are some additional details about each of these reasons:* *Religious beliefs: The belief that Garuda guards** the temple is based on the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. In the epic, Garuda is described as a giant eagle who is the mount of Vishnu, the supreme god in Hinduism. Garuda is said to be a fierce warrior who would attack anyone who tried to harm Vishnu or his temples.* *Scientific reasons: The strong winds at high** altitudes near the temple are caused by the monsoon winds that blow from the Bay of Bengal. These winds can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, which is too strong for most birds to fly in. Additionally, the temple is located on a hill, which adds to the wind speed.* *The regulations that prohibit flying over the temple are in place to protect the temple and its surroundings. The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which means that it is of great cultural and historical significance. The regulations also help to ensure the safety of people who visit the temple.* *Q2 Sri Krishna was younger than Balarama, then why according to Hindu customs, Krishna became the king of Mathura and Dwarika and not Balarama?* *A2 Bhanu Kiran, Exploring ancient texts of Sanatana Dharma2y* *The question is wrong. Both Krishna and Balarama were never the kings of Dwarka.* *It was Ugrasena who was ruling Dwarka all the time**.** Even during the collapse of Dwarka, Ugrasena was still ruling it. Ugrasena was the maternal grandfather of Krishna.* *Here is a quote from Mausala Parva of Mahabharat where Ugrasena was taking a decision about what to do with the curse given to the Yadavas.* *The fact was duly reported to the king. In great distress of mind, the king (Ugrasena) caused that iron bolt to be reduced into fine powder. Men were employed, O king, to cast that powder into the sea. At the command of Ahuka, of Janarddana, of Rama, and of the high-souled Vabhru, it was, again, proclaimed throughout the city that from that day, among all the Vrishnis and the Andhakas no one should manufacture wines and intoxicating spirits of any kind, and that whoever would secretly manufacture wines and spirits should be impaled alive with all his kinsmen. Through fear of the king, and knowing that it was the command of Rama also of unimpeachable deeds, all the citizens bound themselves by a rule and abstained from manufacturing wines and spirits.[1]* *After Dwarka was submerged in sea, citizens were transferred to Indraprasta and great grandson of Krishna named Vajra was named as the king.* *Krishna is called as Dwarkadhish since he established this city* *to safeguard people from the attacks of Jarasandha. In Gujarat, there is a temple called “Shree Dwarkadhish Temple” which is dedicated to Krishna.* *My note- In that case when Arjuna and Duryodhana met Lord Krishna asking help in the war,as requested by Duryodhana, how Krishna gives all the army to him? **Learnt members may please respond.* *Q3 What is a good cow joke?* *A3 Gopalkrishna Vishwanath, I know lots of them.

Jr, Medical Student & Life Coach21h* *First and foremost, it’s important to understand that ibuprofen does have the potential to harm your kidneys, especially if you take too much or have existing health issues.* * For example, people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of heart disease are at a higher risk of developing kidney damage if they take ibuprofen in large doses. The same is true for long-term use.* *That said, many studies have failed to find a link between ibuprofen and kidney injury**. A 2021 systematic review that included more than 10,000 patients found no convincing evidence that ibuprofen harms the kidneys in healthy adults. * *Likewise, the World Health Organization has stated that there’s no clear evidence that ibuprofen harms the kidneys.* *So, is ibuprofen bad for the kidneys?* *From the available evidence, it would appear that the answer is no.** As long as you take ibuprofen as directed and don’t have any existing health conditions, it’s safe to take. Of course, if you have any concerns, it’s best to consult your doctor.* *It’s important to be mindful of the fact that there is evidence that long-term use or high doses of ibuprofen can cause kidney damage. Therefore, if you’re taking ibuprofen, it’s best to only take it as prescribed and to consult your doctor if you have any concerns. * *As of 2023, there is no clear evidence that ibuprofen harms the kidneys in healthy adults when taken as directed.* *My note- Doctors advise to take paracetemol only in limited quantity in extreme conditions to diabetics.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
