CULTURAL QA 10 -2021-22
Being compilation there may be errors Q1 Did the Buddha speak on the existenceof gods, but not to depend on them for liberation from suffering? A1 Rami Sivan Priest, Dharma teacher, counsellor, Gov. Advisor(1998–present)Sep 30 The Pali texts clearly state that the Buddha frequentlymentioned the gods (Devas) and actually even went to meet the 33gods of the Vedic pantheon (trayas-trimśat devata) to preach the Dharma tothem. So in this sense Buddhism is definitely not “atheistic”. 22. "Now there are eight kinds ofassemblies, Ananda, that is to say, assemblies of nobles, brahmans,householders, ascetics, of the Four Great Kings, of the Thirty-three gods, of Maras, and of Brahmas. 23. "And I recall, Ananda, how I haveattended each of these eight kinds of assemblies, amounting to hundreds. Andbefore seating myself and starting the conversation or the discussion, I mademy appearance resemble theirs, my voice resemble theirs. And so I taught themthe Dhamma, and roused, edified, and gladdened them. Yet while I was speakingto them thus, they did not know me, and they would enquire of one another,asking: 'Who is he thatspeaks to us? Is it a man or a god?' (Mahabuddhavamsa Chapter 40) The Buddhadenied that Devas had the power to grant liberation to anyone and therefore theemphasis must be on self-liberation. It is a DIY spiritual project. But human nature being what it is- a Divine Liberator is of great comfort and so there developed streams ofdevotional buddhism which venerated Bodhisattvas and through devotion to themone could attain rebirth in the heavens of the Boddhisattvas and there strivefor Liberation.

A3 Aishwarya Kher Scientific Mind | Curious Brain | Optimistic| Vegetarian Oct 12 Well, if it‘always’ gives you a stomach ache, you are definitely eating either the wrongkind of Indian food or more than what your body can handle. Depending on one’s allergies andfood habits since childhood, Indian food can be overwhelming for some becauseof a plethora of spices used in the preparation. The authentic taste wouldn’totherwise pop up. If you are eating Indian food inrestaurants very frequently, without asking them to reduce spices and oil, youwill fall sick! Very much depends on which itemsyou prefer to eat - deep fried? spiced up reddish looking curries? I cook mostly Indian food at homewith very limited spices. I’m sure if you consume home-cooked Indian meal, itwill make your stomach happy. Indian food has the capability to go from very simplevegetarian ‘satvik ahaar’, as it’s called in Hindi, to extremely rich and heavy. An IndianThali meal as shown below offers a balanced diet. You cannot generalize theentire cuisine. Choose the frequency and type of your consumption wisely. Q4 What happens when you spray water ontoa rotating ceiling fan and a light bulb? A4 Larry Sheets Answered 1h ago Spraying water on any light bulb,is an idiotic thing to do. Due to rapid cooling in some places, but not inothers, it should shatter, and rain broken glass, driven by the added breeze ofthe fan blades, and make a mess, in the dark, just before the wet wiring shortsout, and the breaker pops. All around, stupid thing to do. …enjoy. My note- Spraying of water can make a conductor sometimes with the filament carrying power and he may get electrical shock also. Q5 Are there river deltas that empty intoa lake and not a sea? A5 Alan Marbleamateur map geekSep 23 Sure. They aren’t uncommon,though they tend to be fairly small and unremarkable so you don’t tend to hearor read about them. River deltas can even form wherethere’s not even a lake to empty into. The Okavango River in Botswana “empties” into a riverdelta far from any body of water and simply evaporates away.

Living costs are higher inNorway, but so are the wages and benefits. And the income tax is approximately7 percent lower in Norway. Sweden has more multicultural environment. InSweden there are not many settlements in the rural areas. Swedes are well known for notbeing too generous when it comes to spending money, but people are nice andwelcoming.

A9 Beli Dasgupta , Nobody at no-thing Answered Tue When I consciously drink water ,I can really feel the benefits of drinking water.Yes, now what is thatconsciously drinking water means? Let's look at it this way : When we become thirsty, we don't remain consciousmost of the time. We feel a need of rush to quench our thirst and in a hurry we drink the amount of water thatour body demands and feel ok by reducing the bodily demand of water. But, the moment when we feel thirsty,if we look at the whole situation, experiment our own needs and how these needsare getting fulfilled by nature's precious gift what we recognise as water andhow our sustainability is being taken care of by water without even asking forit, we will feel a natural gratitude and reverence towards the water which isone of our life making material. With that kind of awareness and reverence when we drink water, we will feelthe benefits as how in split of seconds water that we are drinking is quenchingour thirst, maintaining the physical demand of water in our body,activating cellular functions and giving us a resurgence of life. Q10 What are some unsolved mysteries of NadiShastra? A10 Know Your Planets (Astrology) R. G SuvarnaSep 21 Nadi shastra is an ocean it has no ends so does it'smysteries. Ranging from its astrologicialmethods to some of it's techniques, some are lost some are not available at allto us unfortunately. And since it's the yuga of kaliand it's necessary for shastras to follow it's yuga dharma. These wisdom areavailable 24×7 but just hide for particular period of time. Greatest example of its one ofthe mystery is the nadiamsa method which changes in seconds and for each person, nadi amsa is unique. If one gets it, one can know everything with regards toperson and horoscope in depth. However its unavailable and wecan't do anything even though it's texts are available. Same goes to the idea of agastya nadi where one usesthumb prints. However Shri Rg rao (late) has written a book onprediciting through thumb prints. However this book is crypted and was writtenin old format which makes it difficult to read. Another shocking thing is about it's unique remedy whererishi mentions certain type of charity and teertha yatra to a particulartemple in order to ward off the effects which makes it extraordinarily uniqueand interesting. It's a lot of efforts and withoutany divine grace it's nearly impossible to peak into the future. And at the end of the day theeternal Lord hari is the greatest jyotish “bhuta bhavya bhavat prabhuh”. Q11 Which is the one thing in which TamilNadu is better than all the states? A11 Sweta Suman Manager at Community Health Systems (company)(2017–present)Updated 1y I am a North Indian girl. I went on a trip to TamilNadu last year. I visited Madurai, Tiruchirapalli, Mahabalipuram, Rameshwaram,Thanjavur, Kanyakumari and Chennai. These places are tranquil and peaceful init's own way like every North Indian temples and spiritual places. I want to share an incident frommy trip which I feel I liked the most in Tamil Nadu than other states. I visited Vivekananda's RockMemorial at Kanyakumari, the sunrise point of Kanyakumari. The scene is worthwatching from there. At the Rock Memorial, I wassitting at a lonely place and excitingly watching waves formed by the ocean.The scene was enchanting. Amidst my excitement, came threetall, muscular and body builder Tamil men. They stood beside me and asked for aselfie with them. I got scared and my brain started thinking that if I deny,their men's ego can be hurt and they can be harsh to me. But by instinct I denied theselfie. My reply was No. Listening to my reply they gave me a smile and wentaway from there. They were all muscular. Theycould have threatened me because I was standing alone there. So what I likedthe most was they waited for my consent and when I declined the proposal forselfie, they respected my denial and just left that place so that i couldn'tfeel insecure. Being a North Indian girl, I canrecall one more incident which made me feel TN a safe place for girls. When I was travelling back fromKanyakumari to Trichy by train, my mother and I were the only ladies in thebogie, everyone else were men. I found no one ogling at us in a bizarre way.They indulged in doing their own work. I found ourselves safe and secure in thebogie. Apart from safety, I found Tamil Nadu much concernedabout education of female and cleanliness of the city as well. Q12 What are the benefits of Krishnakamalflower? Can I keep it at home?
