Jammu & Kashmir new find of Shiva temples

                Neel matt Purana and Raj tarangani has thousands of years old hill shelters (guhalu) with Shiva Lingams found by Vinod Pundit and reported on Friday 12 April 2013. Pirpunjal area in Jammu & Kashmir at a height of 11,000 feet a Shiva temple was discovered and Shiva Pujas were held.

Rama Temple in Sand Dunes

               The sleepy village full of artifacts of pre-historic and historic value dating to Chalukyas or Telugu Cholas in Kanaparthi, in Prakasam District of T. Prakasam Pantulu, about 100 to 150 meters from sea has lot of stone carvings of Prakrit and Brahmi stone inscriptions. The flat beach is ideal for sea bathing. The museum (silpakala kshetram) has a finely tuned Dhara Shivalinga with 32 different dimensions. It was a centre of making Shiva Lingas for export to various South-Asian countries.

b). INNOVATION

Without Sand and Gravel Construction

              An innovative Fly-ash slab construction without conventional sand and gravel was made by Shri Kalidasu and his wife Dr. Bhanumathidasu in Vijayanagaram (ghantyala –madhupada) in the construction of upper portion of a temple. The Fly-ash, Lime, anhydride and Gypsum bricks are found to be very useful. They applied for patent rights of this process that can be built straight away on the slab portion without any ground slab makings.

c). RECENT FINDS

Iron content Crops

                 The Soya beans introduced Ferrtin called (Januyuvu) gene from soya beans into Rice crop IR64 increased the preservation of iron content news of 15 April 2013. Another (Janyuvu) gene from rice crop introduced into the IR64 crop helped to transport the iron from leaves and other places into the rice seeds. Due to this transport the amount of zinc also enhanced. The two new jeans introduced enhanced the iron content. Usually about 5 to 8 parts in 10lakh i.e. 5-8 PPM content iron exists. Due to the jeans introduction this has been increased to 13 to 14.5 parts iron content the aim of International Rice Research Society while earlier they achieved 11 parts increase.

Earthquakes

1. Taiwan

Thipayee on Wednesday 27 March 2013, an Earthquake around 10h08mAM of magnitude 6.0R at a distance of 48Kms, caused the death of one person and injured about 19 people announced American Center. After two hours another series of quakes of magnitude 3.7 – 4.R, resulting in the stoppages of metro railway trains.

2. Kashmir Earth Tremor

Srinagar, Islamabad and Manila report Kashmir recorded an earthquake of magnitude 5.4R around 12 afternoons for about 10 seconds on Thursday, April 4 2013. Around same time Pakistan and Philippines felt the Earth tremors but no details of loss of life given.

3. Iran Earthquake

Near Bush-her city in Iran sea coast on Tuesday April 9 2013 an earthquake of magnitude 6.1R scale and a village in Bhormaja became totally destroyed. About 30 people got killed and 800 got injured. The only Nuclear Plant in the town of Bush-her city remained unaffected.

4. Three countries affected earthquake of magnitude 7.8R occurred on Monday April 5 2013 evening in Saravan city in Iran around 4h16mPM. From Pakistan border about 48km distant the earthquake centre is located. Sarvan city totally divasted. Iran-Pakistan border at a distance of 33 km down around 4h16m the earthquake occurred. Pakistan state Baluchistan was affected severely. Kharana and Punjagur Zillah’s in Pakistan affected much. Collapsing houses killed about 34 people in Pakistan. Pakistan Karachi, Quetta and Hyderabad were affected with tremors. In Karachi a building collapse injured many people. In India it affected Delhi, Gurgaon, Rajasthan (Jaipur), Noida, Chandigad, Punjab, Haryana, and Gujarat (central, western and middle Zillah’s) felt the earth tremors. In eastern states the earth tremors were experienced several times on Monday evening. Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates also felt tremors.

e). Microwave Pulses long duration of Quantum States

Application of Microwave pulses enables to move quantum states in precise sequence through 3D-Hilbert space (April 18, 2013 Nature). Decoherence i.e. a short memory of their coupling to their environment, hinders us observing their effects. Superconducting components hold the quantum states for a longer duration for several millionths of a second. The circuits struck with short microwave pulses, which modify the system of particles, to carry out mathematical operations (a ref Dr K V N Rao, Plasma Physics, AFCRL, Boston, 1961).

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

                  An important discovery by the author is the occurrence of rains in Summer Monsoon season in India peninsular region has intimate relation with the occurrence of Earthquakes and the evolution of particulate matter from the Earth, just before the summer months. The initial spurt of elementary particulate matter into the atmosphere up above the height of 80km results in the interaction of these with ice and water molecules of miniscule size at these heights. Subsequently the onset of hail storms occurs at several parts in the world, especially in India, due to a variety of several phenomenon of similar nature. The observation of the hail storms in India in recent months is a direct indication of this observation by the author. The summer heat of the Iran and Pakistan countries evolves a series of physical phenomenon. The engulfment of sand storms and the like adds to the vagaries of the nature that have a direct bearing on the climate conditions in India. What happens subsequently, on a physical model basis, can easily be understood that the monsoon rains of cumulonimbus (cumulus Latin word for heap and Nimbus Latin word for rain) have a tremendous role to play on the onset of monsoon in India. Strauss (Latin for layer) and Cirrus (Latin for curl of hair) clouds do occasionally occur at summer months in India. An important observation made in the evening of 19 April 2013 at Visakhapatnam showed heavy rain due to the cumulonimbus cloud set that lasted hardly for one and hours from 4h00m P.M to 5h30m P.M. The important and physically, a significant finding by the present author, is that the cloud formations and their descendant from upper reaches of the sky eventually happened, by particle amassment, occurred due to the earthquakes of Iran and Pakistan in the last few days.
