Guntur to Visakhapatnam - Most Promising Urban Belt of India

Transformation of India - Be a Part of It.

India to be $20 Trillion GDP Economy by 2035 - $10 Trillion GDP Economy by 2030
$7 Trillion GDP Economy by 2025 - $5 Trillion GDP Economy by 2020

In the context of India becoming a major economy of the world, in state of Andhra Pradesh Guntur Visakhapatnam has the potential to be the most productive urban belt of India.

Both Government and Industrialists have to come together and develop this big well endowed region and benefit the economy of Andhra Pradesh and India. With the Capital City coming between Guntur and Vijayawada, Guntur also becomes part of this long stretch.

Frequent railway transport can be scheduled between these stations to increase mobility and make each municipal city a special one in some respect. One city can be developed for engineering. One for entertainment, one for banking and one for insurance. One for chemical laboratories and one physics based laboratories. The government can disperse the economic development and provide a nucleus to every city or town on the way to progress further. There can be an IT city. There can be a Biotech city. There can be nanotech city.

Guntur - Vijayawada - Eluru - Tadepalli Gudem - Nidadavolu - Kovvuru - Rajahmundry - Dwarapudi - Samalkot - Pithapuram - Tuni - Anakapalli - Visakhapatnam are the important towns on this route. Presently it takes around six to seven hours travel between the two end points. But railways can plan for 4 hour journey so that people start at 8 pm and reach the place of their work by maximum 12 noon. The mobility will make dispersal of economic activity easy and economical. Each town can grow into a big city specialising in a sector of economic activity and providing both top class education and products and services in that sector.




Speed of Nine Railway Corridors to be Increased

The speed of nine railway corridors will be increased from the existing 110 and 130 kmph to 160 and 200 kmph respectively so that inter-metro journeys like Delhi-Kolkata and Delhi-Mumbai can be completed overnight. This will involve the upgradation of track including turnouts and rolling stock to higher standards as well as the adoption of improved methods of track recording, monitoring and maintenance.

The average speed of freight trains, both in empty and loaded conditions, will also be enhanced. A policy of attaining speeds of 100 kmph for empty freight trains and 75 kmph for loaded trains is being put in place. The Minister said that with the objective of maximizing loading in every train, the loading density on all major freight bearing routes of Indian Railways will be upgraded to 22.82 tonne axle loads.

Readers please share top industrial and business units and educational units in each of the towns and cities of the Guntur, Krishna, East Godavari and West Godavari and Visakhapatnam Districts. In these districts while every municipal town has an opportunity, the towns along the railway line have the readymade opportunity. We have a chance to contribute to its development by outlining the oppourtunities through our blogs, Google+, Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin messages. They will help entrepreneurs and also political leaders to make better sense of the opportunity. Political leaders can include all municipal councillors and also various candidates who contested for the election even though they have not won. They still have very good influence in their area and they contribute to its development. Please join the information sharing process.

Liberation in early Advaita Vedanta

by Aleksandar Uskokov | 2018 | 195,782 words

Hinduism Hindu Philosophy Vedanta

Summary: This thesis highlights that liberation (in Sanskrit: Moksha) is posited as the “highest good”—i.e., it represents freedom from the cyclical process of birth and rebirth. This essay further shows how Shankara’s doctrine emphasizes that liberation is solely derived from knowledge of Brahman, not from ritual actions or meditation, marking a clear departure from the views of his Vedic contemporaries and predecessors who advocated for a combination of rituals and meditation for attaining liberation.

The full title is “Deciphering the Hidden Meaning: Scripture and the Hermeneutics of Liberation in Early Advaita Vedanta”.

SHRAVANA, MANANA, NIDIDHYASANA

(HEARING, CONTEMPLATION, MEDITATION OF SELF-ENQUIRY)

Nididhyasana (Sanskrit: निदिध्यासन) means profound 

and repeated meditation Nididhyasana is meditation

of the Atman. It is deep and intense contemplation.

The Sruti is the seed of Vedantic knowledge sown by

the Guru (teacher) in the mind of sishya (disciple) who

then tends that seed by his shravana,Manana and

Nididhyasana.

The Indian - Hindu Philosophy - System of Vedas, Vedangas, Puranas and Gods

Nyaya and Vaisesika

The philosopher Gautama's  system of Nyaya is the Hindu logic, which is still studied in India. The date of Gautama is not known, but he lived in the Philosophic Period, probably a century after Kapila. The Nyaya Sutra, which is ascribed to him, is divided into five books, each subdivided into two “days,” or diurnal lessons, and these are again divided into articles, each of which consists of a number of Sutras.

The Nyaya system starts with the subjects to be discussed, which are fourteen in number: proof, problem, doubt, motive, instance or example, determined truth, argument or syllogism, confutation, ascertainment, controversy, jangling, objection, fallacy, perversion, futility, and controversy.

Proof is of four kinds: Perception, inference, analogy, and verbal testimony. Cause (karana) is that which necessarily precedes an effect, which could not be without the cause; and effect (karya) is that which necessarily ensues and otherwise could not be.

Purans or Puranas

The Hindu scriptures include 18 Puranas apart from Vedas.

Many people feel there is an oddity in Hindu Purans as each Puran talks of different God as the ultimate authority and tells stories wherein other Gods sing praises of him as the supreme man. But is it really odd. There is no oddity if you can think of plurality. In Indian system of philosophy each god is in charge of a good or bad attribute that people see in nature. It is as though there are discussions among Gods regarding various issues and the line or reasoning proposed by a particular God wins the argument. All such incidents of a particular God are collected in a Puran. Intrepreted this way, the contradiction is less. There is more consistency in the narrations of Purans.
