Coimbatore: Extolling the ancient Indian discipline of Yoga, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called for efforts to protect nature and mould human activities to bring them in sync with ecological surroundings.

He also termed unity in diversity as the speciality and strength of the Indian culture.


"This (Mahashivaratri celebrations) symbolises a spirit of vigilance, that we have to protect nature and mould our activities in sync with our ecological surroundings," he said addressing a gathering after unveiling a mammoth 112 feet bust of 'Adiyogi" Lord Shiva at Isha Yoga Foundation here.

Underlining the need for peaceful coexistence, Modi said, "Lord Shiva is everywhere" and referred to the bull, peacock and mouse that were the vehicles of the Lord and his sons -- Ganapathy and Karthik. He also talked about the venomous snake Vasuki curled around Shiva's neck to emphasise the importance of peaceful coexistence.

He asked people to remain united, insisting unity in diversity was special to Indian culture.

Praising the ancient practice of Yoga, whose goal is to bring the practitioner's body, mind and spirit in tune with each other, Modi told the gathering that by "practising Yoga, a spirit of oneness is created. Oneness of mind, body and the intellect, oneness with our families and with the society we live in, with fellow humans and with birds, animals and trees."

"This is Yoga, Yoga is a journey from me to we," he said, emphasising India's biggest strength was its diversity.

Modi began his speech by greeting people in Tamil "Ungal Ellorukkum En Anbana Vanakkam," (My loving greetings to all).

Founder of Isha Foundation, Jaggi Vasudev, said the bust of 'Adiyogi' was built in eight months. He also lauded Modi for practising Yoga.

Before unveiling the giant 'Adiyogi' bust, Modi lighted the "Maha Yoga Yagna" and released the book 'Adiyoga: The source of Yoga', which deals with yogic sciences.

Modi was shown around various places in the Isha Yoga complex, including the Dhyana Linga, Surya Kund, Nandi statue and the inner and outer corridors (prakaras) by Sadhguru Vasudev.

The Prime Minister offered aarti and showered flower petals over the Dhyana Linga.

He later sat in the Dhyana Linga mandapam, where a yogic dance was performed by a group of youngsters to the accompaniment of traditional music and Sanskrit shlokas.

Modi briefly sat alongside Vasudev in a meditative posture.

The city and the venue of the event was placed under a multi-tier security cover by police and the Special Protection Group, which guards the Prime Minister.

Tamil Nadu Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao and Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami received Modi on his arrival here.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan and Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi also attended the event.

The statue and the foundation are located in the foothills of Velliangiri mountains in the Western Ghats.

The bust was unveiled to coincide with Maha Shivaratri celebrations.

MATE ; Shivaji is different from SHIVA

Shivaji was a Hindu King ; SHIVA is our GOD

Text of Prime Minister’s speech

Indeed, there are many Devs, but only one Maha-Dev.

There are many Mantras, but the Mantra which is identified with Lord Shiva, is called Maha-Mrityunjayi Mantra.

Think of Lord Shiva and the picture that comes to mind is that of his majestic presence at Mount Kailash, in the mighty Himalayas. Think of Goddess Parvati and you remember the beautiful Kanyakumari, which is surrounded by the vast oceans. The union of Shiva and Parvati is a union of the Himalayas with the oceans.

Shiv and Parvati… this is by itself a message of oneness.

This thread is about Shivaji's statue which will come up in
Mumbai ; inside the Sea

Why are you so confused

 

[livingdead]

its a stupid idea...
@scorpionx dude just put these people to ignore list... they are not worth arguing with.. they will bring you down to their level.

 

[British SAS]

..No, I must profess I'd rather you guys build a lingam statue instead... Befitting of india's status in the world.

 

[PRC]

Probably opening a world class university using his name would be better ..

Sir I found it.. atlast.

This is the reason for your imbalance..

OK...

To predict these phenomena for rare recessive genes, we require six parameters (Table 1; Fig. 1). If qj is the frequency of recessive alleles at the ith contributing locus (i = 1, ..., k), if the probability that the homozygote be affected is si =8, and if heterozygous effects are negligible, then the panmictic load is k A = s E 9t2 iml and the inbred load (6) is k f=1 - skQ. This simple theory of genetic loads is all that we require to predict the effect of rare, independent, completely recessive genes on the frequency of mental retardation, because the probability of nonaffection given inbreeding coefficient F (7) is S = e-(A+BF) Wright (8) showed that, if genes and environment are additive, with no confounding of inbreeding and environment, then the regression of a quantitative trait on the inbreeding coefficient is b = m -mo in which vn- is the mean at inbreeding Fj. Under complete recessivity, this reduces to (9) -b = TEqj(l - q1) - TkQ. The genetic variance is composed of parts due to additive effects, dominance, and epistasis. For completely recessive genes, the relative dominance variance (see equation 4.1.11 of ref. 10) is D = T21[qf(l -s)2/a2 which reduces as q, - 0 to D - T2A/k2s To estimate Q and k we use two classical results of genetic load theory (6), Q < A/B, and k 2 B2/A

Fantastic raju! One doggy biscuit for you. Here boy!

you do understand 'raju' has very smartly proven your problem with a somewhat complicated genetic regression formula right? you must have a really big heart to reward him! kudos

Why thank you for your input, I'll be forwarding it to the 'I don't give a damn' department... Yawning.

excluding Lord Shiva statue.. looks like modi wants to out weigh mayavathi statue building spree.. What's the point to build these statues..
