Killing of Cows will lead to the destruction of entire human population. Several breeds of Indian Cows have already disappeared due to killings of Cows. Some breeds of Indian Cows are in the edge of extinction... If we won't fight for the protection of Cows even now, we would not remain eligible to seek excuse of Gou Matha also, He said.

Proud moment to India: Chandrayaan founds water on Moon..!

Proud moment to India:

Chandrayaan founds

Water on Moon..!

BANGALORE/MUMBAI: This is the moment we should be proud. Yes, It is a giant leap for India's space programme and the biggest scientific discovery of the 21st Century.

India's maiden Moon Mission, Chandrayaan-1 has found water, a discovery that scientists say will upend thinking about space and boost research. And, of course, it has helped shake off the failure tag from the Rs 386-crore Chandrayaan-I project that was aborted last month.

India's own Moon Impact Probe (MIP) on board the country's maiden lunar craft had discovered water on the moon, a finding confirmed by US space agency NASA's probe that was also aboard Chandrayaan-1, India's top space scientist G Madhavan Nair said here on Friday. ( Watch Video by Times Now)

India's first lunar mission had made a "path-breaking and real discovery" by establishing the presence of water on the moon, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman Nair said.

While expressing pride in the achievement, Nair added: "But the water is not in the form of sea or lake or puddle or drops. It is embedded on the surface in minerals and rocks."

Apart from India's MIP, the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) of NASA on board Chandrayaan-1 confirmed the presence of water. The lunar mission had to be aborted Aug 30 after it lost radio contact with Earth.

According to Nair, the "quantity found is much larger than expected".

On whether water can be extracted, Nair said: "Yes, we can. But one tonne of soil may yield half a litre."

Nair said MIP picked up signals about the presence of water as it journeyed down to land on the moon surface.

"One of the main objectives of Chandrayaan-1 was to look for the presence of water. Our MIP confirmed it."

Benefits of Gaumata (Cow)

Benefits of Gaumata (Cow)

This is the mail I received from Rohit Khisti. He pointed out the benifits from Cows and sent a vidio appeared in Youtube.

Rohit says ' If we can prove to people about benefits of gaumata, campaign on tv commercials about benefits of gaumata, then i think that will also help our farmers as well cow protection.

.

Few points would be:

1) Biogas plant. This will eliminate expense on Household LPG Cylinder ( Approximate 5000 Rs per year )

2) Milk & Dairy Products.

3) Fertilizers from Cow dung for Farming

Lets explore & start working on it. Drop of water helps to fill up the dam, so lets start contributing as drop of water in the activity..Dont get bugged up with political decisions, non gaumata followers etc.

In the Video here Chaitanya Kumar, Hyderabad city coordinator for Indian Youth Climate Network, explains the simple beauty of a biogas plant in a village nearby to Hyderabad.

Just go through it.
