CULTURAL QA 06202404 Q1 What interesting facts do you know?
KR Many written here are far from the truth and are imagination running riots without any authentic facts behind. I write about only such issues which are untrue and useless; rest never ever I touch. I consider everyone who writes has a social obligation to spend time over the matter and prune which is time consuming, unless known something already. Most of the topics run here are read already (thanks for USA libraries unlike India storing the latest and lending 50 books at a time for 3 weeks) People who wants fiction to be run as truth, may not get convinced about. But the bitter truth is stranger than the fiction. Writing for fun and writing for facts are two divisions Poles apart. KR IRS 5624 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Sun is so hot that if you place a 1 gram piece of the Sun anywhere on Earth, you will die even if that piece is within 145 kilometers. KR Some people always think crookedly. First there is nothing as top and bottom at all in space; it is a wrong vision we have as looing up etc. Space is like aa silver plate we daily use to eat and hence in some places mentioned it as FLAT. Flat does not mean just a thin horizontal layer. Space is a miracle where all are long distance players chasing each around playing cricket and football with powers, akarshana and resistance. And the fundamental theory is all are hung with out a string. The silver plate we are able to visualise which we are unable to even with a Hubble, because, we are not outside it. Therefore, we do have a lot of parallel misconceptions about the space which we do not know fully. Even though the science does not agree with our Rishis because of a bias, (or else we do they try to read all and try to rewrite our history?) our Rishis who named them as GODs as science do give some names even for a storm, identified many factors of Physics Boudeekam fundamentally. I don’t know why they never thought of making all as E=mc2 like? But as our science unfolds, we find it is already there; some urchins and grown-up urchins, even today are questioning, us as “people who always say it is already there types”. But what they failed to know is, that we did not know that language -thoughts (not literal language) as we are aware only about the modern expressions; so, when we understand here, that meaning is visible; as if, don’t we say, I think I had seen him or her elsewhere?”. Thought-language is always slow. One who saw that elephant could not have called it by any name, till he created a word for it. Hence Physics shows that all are bound by Physics. SUN or any planets can fall one over the other t all; some pieces may be jerked; as many pieces had caused on earth , big holes. Same thing will happen even if a bit Sun fell over as PHYSICS THERMODYNAMICS WILL ACT. 100DEGREE COFFEE DOES NOT STAY SO HOT AND BURN YOUR FINGERS, WHY EVEN YOUR TONGUE ASS EXTERNAL ATMOSPHERE TEMP IT WILL REACH. HENCE ONLY YOU ARE THINKING YOU ARE EATING SO HOT. The Sun is so hot that if you place a 1 gram piece of the Sun anywhere on Earth, you will die even if that piece is within 145 kilometers. How far true authentically This statement is not entirely accurate. While it's true that the Sun is incredibly hot and its surface temperature is around 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit), the effect of placing a 1-gram piece of the Sun on Earth would depend on various factors. Firstly, it's practically impossible to isolate a 1-gram piece of the Sun and transport it to Earth due to its immense gravitational pull and the extreme conditions present on its surface. Even if we could, the heat would dissipate rapidly as the small piece of the Sun would quickly lose its heat energy to the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the distance at which the heat from such a small piece of the Sun would be lethal would depend on many factors, including atmospheric conditions, the specific location on Earth, and the amount of heat that piece of the Sun could emit before cooling down significantly. It's unlikely that a 1-gram piece of the Sun, even if somehow transported to Earth, would have a lethal effect at a distance of 145 kilometers. So, while the statement emphasizes the extreme heat of the Sun, it oversimplifies the complexities involved and is not entirely accurate in practical terms. THAT IS WHY I HAVE “SANATANA DHAARMA AND SCIENCE GOOGLE GROUP”. Shortly I am also planning to post all mine only in that as the response of know how persons are few only compared to numbers tall. Thank you. I know people posting from that elsewhere; I do not mind because, they are not earned by my brain except some interpretations. I am not ILAYA RAJA; I am just Raja. 5624 from USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q 2. Toothpaste We all wake up every day and apply toothpaste. But do you know that toothpaste contains sodium fluoride and triclosan poison. My note- I found a tooth paste purchased, recently in which it was written on cover, if you accidentally swallow the toothpaste, immediately contact doctor. It was purchased thinking it was a new product from Sensodyne. I threw it away. KR: Another error prone data. Even other pastes are not poisonous as to throw away; I use one-time Sensodyne and my wife also fo long years. We are healthy only. Not all toothpaste contains sodium fluoride or triclosan. Sodium fluoride is a common ingredient in many toothpaste formulations because it helps to prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel. Triclosan has been used in some toothpaste formulations as an antibacterial agent, although its use has been restricted or banned in certain regions due to concerns about its potential effects on health and the environment. However, not all toothpaste products contain these ingredients. Many toothpaste brands offer formulations without triclosan, and there are fluoride-free toothpaste options available for those who prefer them. It's essential to read the ingredients list on toothpaste packaging if you have specific concerns or preferences regarding the ingredients you want to avoid. Additionally, consulting with a dentist can provide personalized recommendations for oral care products based on individual needs and preferences. Here are some brands that offer toothpaste formulations without sodium fluoride, triclosan, or both: Tom's of Maine: This brand offers fluoride-free toothpaste options and is known for its natural and eco-friendly approach to oral care. Hello Products: Hello offers toothpaste formulations without triclosan, as well as options with or without fluoride. Desert Essence: This brand provides fluoride-free toothpaste options that are free from triclosan and other artificial ingredients. Jason Natural: Jason offers fluoride-free toothpaste options that are free from triclosan, artificial colors, and flavors. Dr. Bronner's: Dr. Bronner's offers fluoride-free toothpaste options that are free from triclosan, artificial preservatives, and foaming agents. Remember to check the specific product labels to ensure they meet your criteria for ingredients. Yes, in India, you can find toothpaste brands that offer formulations without sodium fluoride, triclosan, or both. Here are some examples: Himalaya Herbals: Himalaya offers toothpaste options without sodium fluoride and triclosan. Their toothpaste formulations often include herbal ingredients known for their oral health benefits. Dabur Red Paste: Dabur offers a herbal toothpaste called Dabur Red Paste, which is formulated without sodium fluoride and triclosan. It contains traditional Ayurvedic ingredients like clove oil and mint for oral care. Vicco Vajradanti: Vicco Vajradanti is a herbal toothpaste brand in India that offers fluoride-free options. Their formulations typically contain natural ingredients like babool, clove, and neem for dental care. Patanjali: Patanjali, founded by Baba Ramdev, offers a range of herbal toothpaste options that do not contain sodium fluoride or triclosan. These toothpaste formulations are based on Ayurvedic principles. Meswak: Meswak, a brand owned by Dabur, offers toothpaste made from the extract of the Salvadora persica plant. It is free from sodium fluoride and triclosan. These are just a few examples, and there may be other brands available in India that offer toothpaste formulations without these ingredients. It's always a good idea to check the product labels or contact the manufacturer directly for specific ingredient information. Sodium Fluoride: In toothpaste, sodium fluoride is used to prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel. While fluoride is generally safe when used as directed, excessive ingestion of fluoride can lead to fluorosis, a condition that causes discoloration and weakening of the teeth. However, the concentration of fluoride in toothpaste is much lower than what would be toxic, and it's not typically a concern unless toothpaste is swallowed in large amounts. Triclosan: Triclosan has been used as an antibacterial agent in some toothpaste formulations. While it has been deemed safe for use in toothpaste by regulatory agencies, there have been concerns about its potential contribution to antibiotic resistance and its impact on hormone function. As a result, some regulatory agencies have restricted or banned its use in certain products. However, the risk of harm from triclosan in toothpaste is considered low, especially given that it's not typically ingested in significant quantities during normal use. Overall, while both sodium fluoride and triclosan have potential risks associated with them, they are considered safe for use in toothpaste when used as directed. It's essential to follow the instructions on the toothpaste packaging and use oral care products in moderation. If you have specific concerns about these ingredients or any others, consulting with a dentist or healthcare professional can provide personalized guidance. I GENERLLY FIND MANY SCAARING US WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING MANY EVEN AMONG US ARE USING THEM FOR THE PAST 60 80 YEARS and we are all alive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q 3. Do you know that oil extracted from animal skin is used to make soap? Now you people think how it would be that we humans use someone else's skin to clean our own skin. KR: The use of soap made with animal fats, such as tallow, is not inherently bad for the skin. In fact, traditional soaps made with tallow have been used for centuries without adverse effects for many people. Tallow-based soaps can offer cleansing properties and may be suitable for individuals with normal to dry skin types. However, the effects of any soap, including those made with tallow, can vary depending on several factors: Skin Sensitivity: Some individuals may have sensitive skin or allergies to certain ingredients found in soaps, including animal fats. In such cases, using tallow-based soap or any soap containing animal products may cause irritation or allergic reactions. Moisturizing Properties: While tallow can provide moisturizing benefits due to its fatty acid composition, some people may find that tallow-based soaps are too drying for their skin, especially if they have naturally dry or sensitive skin. In such cases, using a gentler, more moisturizing soap formulation may be preferable. Ethical and Personal Preferences: Some individuals choose to avoid animal-derived ingredients in their personal care products for ethical or personal reasons, such as veganism or environmental concerns. For these individuals, plant-based soaps or alternatives to tallow-based soap may be preferred. Ultimately, whether a particular soap, including those made with tallow, is suitable for your skin depends on your individual skin type, preferences, and any specific skin concerns or sensitivities you may have. It's essential to pay attention to how your skin reacts to different products and to choose soaps that work well for your skin's needs. If you have concerns about a particular soap or its ingredients, consulting with a dermatologist can provide personalized recommendations for your skin care routine. AND NEVER CALL IT A DAY. In India, there is a wide variety of soaps available, and they can be broadly categorized into two types based on their ingredients: oil-based soaps and non-oil-based soaps. Oil-based soaps: These soaps are made with oils or fats as their primary ingredients. Common oils used in oil-based soaps include coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, and sometimes animal fats such as tallow. These oils are saponified, a process in which they are mixed with an alkali (such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) to produce soap. Oil-based soaps are known for their moisturizing properties and may be beneficial for individuals with dry or sensitive skin. Some popular oil-based soap brands in India include Santoor, Medimix, and Mysore Sandal Soap. Non-oil-based soaps: These soaps are made without using oils or fats as their primary ingredients. Instead, they may be formulated with synthetic detergents or surfactants, which are chemical compounds that help to cleanse the skin. Non-oil-based soaps are often marketed as "beauty bars" or "bathing bars" and may contain ingredients like sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) or sodium Lauretha sulphate (SLES). These soaps tend to produce more lather and may be preferred by some individuals for their cleansing properties. Some popular non-oil-based soap brands in India include Lux, Dove, and Pears. It's important to note that the specific ingredients and formulations of soaps can vary between brands and products. Additionally, there are many artisanal or handmade soap brands in India that offer unique formulations using natural ingredients like essential oils, herbs, and botanical extracts. When choosing a soap, it's essential to consider your skin type, preferences, and any specific skin concerns you may have. Here are examples of popular brands for both oil-based and non-oil-based soaps in India: Oil-based soaps: Santoor: Santoor is a well-known brand in India that offers a range of oil-based soaps. Their soaps often contain ingredients like sandalwood, almond oil, and turmeric, known for their skin-nourishing properties. Medimix: Medimix is a popular Ayurvedic soap brand in India that uses a blend of oils and herbal extracts in its formulations. Their soaps are known for their therapeutic properties and are often recommended for various skin conditions. Mysore Sandal Soap: Mysore Sandal Soap is famous for its use of sandalwood oil, which is known for its fragrance and skin-soothing properties. It's one of the oldest soap brands in India and is cherished for its traditional formulation. Non-oil-based soaps: Lux: Lux is a leading brand in India that offers a range of non-oil-based soaps. Their soaps are formulated with synthetic detergents and often contain moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and shea butter. Dove: Dove is a popular brand known for its gentle and moisturizing formulations. Their non-oil-based soaps are often marketed as "beauty bars" and are formulated with mild cleansers and moisturizing cream to nourish the skin. Pears: Pears is another well-known brand in India that offers non-oil-based soaps. Their transparent glycerine-based soap is a staple in many Indian households and is valued for its mild and gentle cleansing properties. These are just a few examples, and there are many other brands available in India that offer both oil-based and non-oil-based soaps to cater to different preferences and skin types. KR IRS 6624 NB; Even Glycerine is bad for some people so can we brand it as universally bad? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q2 What was incident Sudama wanted to see the maya of Lord Krishna w hile in Gurukula m ? My note- I have read a similar story about sage Narada also. KR: Yes, there is a story in media and Deccan Chronicle. And ends as,” Lord Krishna said, “This is my Maya.” Maya means “forgetfulness”. Illusion, unreal, myth, ignorance, etc. are Maya. One who forgets me, the God, and thinks that the world is the only truth and is always engrossed in it, he is entrapped in Maya. Deeming the unrealistic world as real and considering Paramatma and self as to dual entities is Maya. “ https://www.deccanchronicle.com/opinion/op-ed/210618/mystic-mantra-forgetting-that-god-is-maya.html “ But it is ill defined MAYA and Adi Shankara and Sri Ramanuja will be angry against us. Advaitham, Vishitadvaitham and Dvaitham will become a laughing stock. I HAD WRITTEN ON MAYA HERE A LOT OF TIMES; SO IT WOULD HAVE SERVED THE PURPOSE FOR THOSE WHO READ IT. MAYA is not the ABSENCE OF GOD OR PRESENCE. Kapila created a SANKYA YOGA (about which also I had written many a days) tending to say, there are Purusha and Prakriti (2 DVAITAM) out of defiance to Vedam the Advaitham. People as Sri Ramanuja after so many millenniums still cannot so clearly defined MAYA in 1000AD. Commoners would write as I am and I am not. imaginary etc later were known hence in order to specify both are ONE AND THE SAME. AS THE PURUSHA IS TRUTH SO TOO THE PRAKRITHI. Sankya yoga reveals that EVERYTHING IS BRAHMAM HENCE ALL ARE TRUTH REAL, AND NO MAYA , AS WE INTERPRET; world is true; we are absolute to be born and die; all are, were and will be there only as Rajaram, Krisna The GOD, Iyer 123 etc etc But where there are many things we say ,THIS WAS CREATED OUT OF THIS” ; thus we go back; and the source one after the God is Prakriti the matter; matter from GOD PURUSHA; and Purusha is from the Brahmam. And that ONLY ONE REAL EXISTING FOR EVER, is expanding, manifesting the forms as 2,3,4,5,10,33, 33 million Gods, and so many objects of physics from Matter; hence matter is indestructible as it is brahmam. Physics so well proving the existence. That alone proves the B G statement of Arjuna, you and me were there and will be forever, but I do remember but not you. Memory lapse. Tirumular said hence, ‘MARATHAI MARAITHATHU MAMADHA YANAI; MAARATHIL MARAINDHADHU MA MADHA YANAI; meaning kallaik kandal nayai kanom. When you see elephant yo do not see the wood; When you see only a piece of wood, you never think that an elephant can be inside. In short only one piece is existing and perception reflects as so many different forms; we say one from the other. Creation is our percept’ we can perceive as we wish to see; but the truth is it is already only MANIFESTED; HENCE UNDESTROYABLE. So MAYA is the truth that was perceived as something but there was only all from that wood @ Brahmam. MAYA is not imaginary. Sri Ramanuja felt confused or fell short; or else he would not have left many Verses of Brahma sutras, B G and Vedas unexplained while passing off. Nothing is deceptive as meant in Deccan Herald story. All are true; even B G Krishna which is true is also only a MAYA; all that disappeared, which we perceive as , destroyed , dead etc is only going behind the screen (veil) and coming out with another make up and dress. MAYA is also a Real, but will disappear. K Rajaram IRS 6624 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q Q4 Most roads on mountains are curved. Why can't a road be built straight up a mountain? The donkey would not go straight up along the shortest route, but would instinctively follow a path with a moderate incline, or grade, very similar to the maximum grade considered safe for roads (8 to 10%).The point where the donkey changed direction would be the location of a hairpin turn. EDIT: Note that “grade” and “angle” of a slope are two different measures since “grade” indicates how much one climbs given a certain distance travelled in horizontal.For example, if you travel 1000 m (1 km) in a horizontal direction and at the same time climb 100 m, then the grade would be:100 m/ 1000 m = 1/10 or 10% One good thing of expressing the rate of climb this way is that it is independent from the unit of distance that you use, as long as it is the same for horizontal and vertical distances. If you measure horizontal distance and climb in miles you will reach the same result as when using metric units (but not if you measure distance in miles and climb in feet!) A grade of 10% corresponds to an angle of about 6° and a grade of 50% corresponds to an angle of 27°. A slope with an angle of 45° would have a grade of 100% Those who are keen on trigonometry, or who have recollections of it from school, will recognize that the “grade” is equivalent to the “tangent” of an angle, apart from the unit, which for the trigonometrical tangent is a pure number, while grades are expressed in percent (%) or per-thousand (used in railway engineering, where grades are very small) to get rid of decimals. KR: It was nice but never said or answered why? Let’s say a 1000 ft hill. Suppose a mountaineer were to climb, why he walks all the way straight and does not go by hairpins and Grades and angles? Oncourse, he has a rope trick. He needs some force to prevent him from a fall; even one can climb down vertical building but need a rope and pulley trick in some forms. That one is gravitational pull and push thrust. PHYSICS. Can we ask each Lorry Wala and car driver to do this magic tricks? Not possible, since every inch one climbs or descends the pressure of thrust and pull of gravitation acting upon is so heavy wrt the angle and Grades of mountains. So, we neutralise the thrust and akarshana. What that Donkey did even we can do; even we will not be able to resist either the thrust or gravitation, beyond some point; imagine all of us in our earliest births were only hiking through Kyber pas, Himalaya, Vindhya etc; do we not see Tirupati hills climbers on steps, walking in a winding way in the steps? Why? So roads were made winding by finding the point of thrust; as were willing to give up a Donkey or Donkeys, in the story we used them as , we are so \selfish. The constant of gravitation, often referred to as the gravitational constant or Newton's constant, is a fundamental physical constant denoted by the symbol GGG. It appears in Newton's law of universal gravitation, which describes the attractive force between two masses. The gravitational constant GGG is used to calculate the force of attraction between two bodies and plays a crucial role in the equations of gravitation and general relativity. Newton's law of universal gravitation is given by: F=Gm1m2r2F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}F=Gr2m1m2 where: - FFF is the gravitational force between two masses, - GGG is the gravitational constant, - m1m_1m1 and m2m_2m2 are the masses of the two objects, - rrr is the distance between the centers of the two masses. The value of the gravitational constant GGG is approximately: G≈6.67430×10−11 m3 kg−1 s−1G \approx 6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{m}^3 \, \text{kg}^{-1} \, \text{s}^{-1}G≈6.67430×10−11m3kg−1s−1 This small value reflects the relative weakness of the gravitational force compared to other fundamental forces in nature, such as the electromagnetic force. The value 9.8 m/s29.8 \, \text{m/s}^29.8m/s2 is not the gravitational constant GGG, but rather the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth. This is commonly denoted as G On the surface of the Earth, G is the acceleration experienced by an object due to the Earth's gravitational pull. It is approximately: g≈9.8 m/s2g \approx 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2g≈9.8m/s2 (II) The specific thrust required for a mission or vehicle can be calculated based on the desired acceleration and the mass of the vehicle using Newton's second law: F=maF = maF=ma where: - FFF is the thrust (in Newtons), - mmm is the mass of the vehicle (in kilograms), - aaa is the acceleration (in meters per second squared). For example, if a spacecraft with a mass of 1,000 kg needs to accelerate at 0.1 m/s20.1 \, \text{m/s}^20.1m/s2, the required thrust would be: F=1000 kg×0.1 m/s2=100 NF = 1000 \, \text{kg} \times 0.1 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 100 \, \text{N}F=1000kg×0.1m/s2=100N In conclusion, constant thrust does not have a fixed universal value but varies widely depending on the propulsion system and application. The specific value of constant thrust needed is determined by the requirements of the mission and the capabilities of the propulsion system. Hence wherever the gradient is felt even when we build our homes on a hillocks, or Kerala patterns, USA patters, we do the roads winding only. K Rajaram IRS 6624 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Q5 When Shri Ram and Lakshman ji were in exile for 14 years, then where would their clothes come from because the same clothes cannot last for 14 years. Please satisfy my curiosity by answering? KR It is a good Q but a bad answer. So let me write this later whenever I get time. Q6 What is the news item- THE VESSEL THAT COULD CHANGE HISTORY KR The Q and A is good but not thoroughly updated and I may write this later. Now: he Fuente Magna bowl is subject to significant debate. Mainstream archaeologists are generally skeptical of the claims that it demonstrates trans-oceanic contact between the Sumerians and South Americans, citing a lack of corroborating evidence and potential issues with the artifact's authenticity or provenance. However, it remains an intriguing artifact for those interested in alternative historical theories and the mysteries of ancient civilizations. In short, the Fuente Magna bowl, attributed to Bolivian archaeologist Max Portugal Zamora, is a fascinating artifact that has stirred considerable debate about ancient contacts between distant civilizations. Its inscriptions and potential age make it a unique piece in the study of pre-Columbian history. The Fuente Magna bowl was reportedly discovered in the 1950s near Lake Titicaca in Bolivia by a local farmer. It was later brought to the attention of archaeologists, including Bolivian archaeologist Max Portugal Zamora, who examined the artifact and suggested it was at least 5,000 years old. Key Events Timeline: Discovery: 1950s: A local farmer found the Fuente Magna bowl near Lake Titicaca, Bolivia. The exact date of the discovery is not well-documented. Examination: 1960s: Bolivian archaeologist Max Portugal Zamora and others examined the bowl and suggested its potential age and significance. Zamora noted the Sumerian-like inscriptions on the artifact. Public Attention: 2000: The Fuente Magna bowl gained broader public attention and became widely known in the early 2000s due to articles and discussions on alternative history and ancient civilizations. The inscriptions on the bowl, which appear to be in Sumerian cuneiform and Proto-Sumerian hieroglyphs, sparked significant debate among researchers and enthusiasts. Authenticity and Debates: Since its broader recognition, the Fuente Magna bowl has been a subject of controversy. Mainstream archaeologists and experts in ancient scripts have questioned the authenticity of the inscriptions and the bowl itself, citing a lack of conclusive evidence linking it to Sumerian civilization or demonstrating trans-oceanic contact in that era. Despite ongoing debates, there has been no definitive consensus within the scholarly community regarding the bowl's authenticity and historical context. The lack of rigorous peer-reviewed studies and the contentious nature of the evidence have kept the Fuente Magna bowl on the fringe of archaeological discourse. And all of are here who were since 50s and had we ever used any such vessels?

A2 Gopal Sardar,9h Sudama once asked Shri Krishna, "Kanha, I want to see your Maya... how is it?" Shri Krishna tried to avoid it, but on Sudama's insistence, Shri Krishna said, "Okay, I will tell you when the time comes. One day Krishna said... Sudama, come, let's go to take a bath in Gomti. Both of them went to the bank of Gomati, took off their clothes. Both of them entered the river. Krishna returned to the bank after taking a bath and started wearing yellow clothes. When Sudama took another dip, Lord Krishna showed him his Maya. Sudama felt that the river was in flood. He was being swept away. Sudama somehow stopped at the bank of the ghat. He climbed the ghat and started walking. While walking he came near the village, where a female elephant garlanded him. Many people gathered and said, “The king of our country has died. The rule here is that after the death of the king, whoever the female elephant garlands becomes our king. The female elephant has garlanded you, so now you are our king. Sudama was surprised, he became a king and also married a princess. Two sons were also born, life started passing happily. One day Sudama's wife fell ill and died.… Sudama started crying in the separation of his wife, people of the kingdom also reached there… He told Sudama, don't cry, you are our king. Anyway, there is nothing to be sad about, you too have to go with the queen. He told that this is the rule of Mayapuri. Your wife will be cremated on the pyre, you too will have to enter your wife's pyre.… Hearing this, Sudama started crying even louder but people did not listen. Sudama forgot about his wife's death,…he even stopped crying. Now he was lost in his own worries.…When people did not listen, Sudama said, 'Let me take a bath before burning myself in the pyre…' On this, some people took Sudama to the river under guard to take a bath.… Sudama was crying and his hands and legs were trembling. Finally he took a dip…and as soon as he came out, he saw that Mayanagari was nowhere to be seen. On the bank, Krishna was still wearing his yellow clothes and he had travelled a whole world. Sudama came out of the river and was crying loudly. Shri Krishna, despite knowing everything, pretended to be unaware and asked Sudama the reason for crying. Sudama narrated the whole incident and asked whether what I am seeing is a dream or the Mayanagari from which I have just come was a dream. Lord Krishna said, this is the truth, I am the truth. Whatever is different from me is my Maya. The one who sees and feels me everywhere, my Maya does not touch him. The one who is connected to Shri Krishna does not dance…does not get confused. Vasudeva's son, god Kansa, Chanur is killed. Devaki is the most blissful Krishna and I bow to the world guru. My note- I have read a similar story about sage Narada also. Q3 What are some great short jokes? A3 Charles Grisby, Journalist at KTNV Channel 13 Action News (1988–present)22h What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick. Today at the bank, an old lady asked me to help check her balance. So I pushed her over. My note- I enjoyed this very much. Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. I tried to catch some fog earlier. I mist. Q4 Most roads on mountains are curved. Why can't a road be built straight up a mountain? A4 Amit Singh,8h When I studied road construction at University, many many years ago, the professor told us this story: In the olden times, when a road had to be built up a hill, the team of prospector would lead a donkey or a mule up the incline. *The donkey would not go straight up along the shortest route, but would instinctively follow a path with a moderate incline, or grade, very similar to the maximum grade considered safe for roads (8 to 10%).* The prospectors would hammer stakes in the ground after the donkey and then measure the position of the stakes, draw all the points on a map and start drawing the road profile after joining the dots. *When the prospectors felt that the donkey had gone too far from the desired direction, or when an obstacle was met, they would turn the donkey around and it would continue climbing in the opposite direction with the same incline.* The point where the donkey changed direction would be the location of a hairpin turn. A powerful car with adequate gear ratios (and adequate grip) can go up a very steep incline but a loaded freight vehicle or a bus full of passengers cannot. As many have pointed out in their answers, going downhill on a very steep incline can be extremely dangerous. An incline, or grade of 8% is considered the limit for a major road. For short distances, 10% to 15% and even 20% grades can be considered acceptable on minor roads, but must be accompanied by adequate signage. Some very exceptional grades exist on some mountain roads, but I would not want to travel with a truck on such a road: EDIT: Note that *“grade” and “angle” of a slope are two different measures* since “grade” indicates how much one climbs given a certain distance travelled in horizontal.For example, if you travel 1000 m (1 km) in a horizontal direction and at the same time climb 100 m, then the grade would be:100 m/ 1000 m = 1/10 or 10% One good thing of expressing the rate of climb this way is that it is independent from the unit of distance that you use, as long as it is the same for horizontal and vertical distances. If you measure horizontal distance and climb in miles you will reach the same result as when using metric units (but not if you measure distance in miles and climb in feet!) A grade of 10% corresponds to an angle of about 6° and a grade of 50% corresponds to an angle of 27°. A slope with an angle of 45° would have a grade of 100% Those who are keen on trigonometry, or who have recollections of it from school, will recognize that the *“grade” is equivalent to the “tangent” of an angle*, apart from the unit, which for the trigonometrical tangent is a pure number, while grades are expressed in percent (%) or per-thousand (used in railway engineering, where grades are very small) to get rid of decimals. Q5 When Shri Ram and Lakshman ji were in exile for 14 years, then where would their clothes come from because the same clothes cannot last for 14 years. Please satisfy my curiosity by answering? A5 Chauhan Babu Nath, May 12 Yes.Let me satisfy your curiosity. Lord Shri Ram was the human incarnation of Shri Hari and while going for exile, he and Mother Sita and Lakshman ji had *given up all the royal clothes* and jewellery and went for exile wearing only a pair of clothes. *In Treta Yuga*, clothes made from tree bark were widely prevalent, which were called Valkal clothes. Valkal cloth was made not only from tree bark but also from natural threads which could be washed. Anusuiya ji, the wife of Atri Rishi, had given divine Vasan to Mother Sita Ji and also gave her some jewellery. Vasan here means clothes. In her divine life, she had given a yellow saree to Mother Sita Ji which never got dirty nor got torn. Mother Sita ji was also the daughter of Mother Earth herself. These were the ornaments that Mother Sita had thrown on the earth as a token when Ravana was taking her to Lanka. It is also believed that even at that time, cotton clothes were made from cotton and that too would have been in vogue, but Shri Ram and Lakshman ji mostly used to wear Valkal clothes when they were in exile. Apart from this, Lord Shri Ram was on exile, not in solitude and he used to meet sages from time to time. Many sages and saints used to come to meet him and they used to give fruits, clothes etc. to Shri Ram Ji as gifts. Shri Ram used to do most of his work himself during his exile and it is also believed that he used to make the Valkal clothes himself. Now if you ask what they used to wear on their feet then let me tell you that in that era there were sandals made of wood. In that era, the favorite fruit of Lord Shri Ram and Mother Sita was Kandamool. Let me tell you one more thing that when the era changes, many things related to that era change. Even after the end of Treta Yuga, much of the science of that era had ended along with the era. The height and physique of humans in that era was also not like that of this era or Dwapar era. In Treta Yuga, attainment of God was done through Yagyas, which started being done in the form of Deity Seva in Dwapar Yuga, and when Dwapar Yuga ended, in Kaliyuga, attainment of God was possible only by chanting the name. The science that existed in Dwapara Yuga is not as advanced in Kaliyuga. So with the change of era, the science and beliefs of that era also change. *In Treta Yuga, Ravana had Pushpak Viman and if you want to understand all this, then look at the old temples of South India thousands of years ago, then you will know what is the difference between age old science and today's science*. This present day science has also been adopted from Tantra science and Ayurveda science. While leaving, I would like to say one thing that please do not have this kind of curiosity because we should consider our scriptures as our guru, all the knowledge has already been given in them. Have you ever seen such questions arising in the minds of any Muslim or people of any other religion? Are ? No, because they consider their scriptures as their guru and move ahead, whether right or wrong. And we are looking for answers to such questions in Quora whereas all the knowledge is in Vedas and Puranas. Even after reading everything, if any curiosity arises about God, then one should know about it from some great man or some guru related to that God and not from here on Quora. Q6 What is the news item- THE VESSEL THAT COULD CHANGE HISTORY A6 Shiv Tandon,7h In 1950, near Chua, near Lake Titicaca, Bolivia, a farmer, while working his field, dug into the ground and found a large stone basin engraved with anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures. The peasant had no idea what he had found, and uses it as a basin for pigs. This vessel is called "Fuente Magna." It is not known exactly how, but over time the "Fuente Magna" ended up in a small local museum for about 40 years, ignored by everyone. Someone finally noticed an incredible oddity in this vase: its interior was filled with cuneiform engravings, quite similar to Sumerian or proto-Sumerian, a script used in present-day Iraq over 5,000 years ago. Ancient inscription expert Clyde Ahmed Winters, carefully examined the "Fuente Magna," and stated that the vase had characters very similar to those of ancient Sumerian, Indian Dravidian, Iranian Elodite, and Libyan Berber from 5,000 years ago. Bolivian archaeologist Max Portugal Zamora also examined the vase, and said it was at least 5,000 years old. *But how is it possible for a proto-sumerian inscription to be found on a vessel found near Lake Titicaca, 3,800 meters above sea level, on another continent, thousands of kilometers away from where the Sumerians lived*? Modern science and archaeology are silent. There are no official explanations for this anomaly But if we think about it, the only possible explanation is that 5,000 years ago someone transported that pot from present-day Iraq to Bolivia. There is evidence that navigators from Sundaland, a sunken region of the Pacific Ocean, of which only Indonesia remains, arrived in the Americas and brought the coconut palm there, thousands of years ago. The semi-submerged city of Nan-Madol may have been built before the thaw, so 14,000 years ago. Therefore, it is possible that these navigators transported the "Fuente Magna" vessel from one continent to another. Or, it is possible that the navigation skills of the Sumerians were much greater than what we know of. The "Fuente Magna" vase is further evidence that our past is quite different from what we thought. In the distant past, humans moved from one continent to another, leaving traces of their passage. Then suddenly, this ended, and we had to start from scratch. Why? Profile photo for Problem Solver Q7 What's the hardest truth of life? A7 Problem Solver, Engineer, cryptography, pysclogyist, computers & technology 21h Truths that every single person needs to Know. You're going to die and you have no idea when. Everyone you love is going to die, and you don't know when. Your material wealth won't make you a better or happier person. Donating money does less than donating time. You can't make everyone happy, and if you try, you'll lose yourself. Your achievements and successes won't matter on your deathbed. Some of the most talented people in the world never move out from their parent's basement. You can't control the past, and you can't predict the future, and trying to do so only removes you from the one thing you can control--the present. Nobody cares how difficult your life is, and you are the author of your life's story. It's not what happens, it's how you react that matter. Time is your most valuable asset--you need to prioritize how you spend it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
