Israel offers to be part of Modi’s clean Ganga project

Israel today said it was all ready to be part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream project of restoring to river Ganga its past glory.

‘We will be more than happy to cooperate with any Indian entity, government or private, in the task of cleaning the Ganga,’ Israeli Ambassador to India Alon Ushpiz said in an interaction with UNI journalists here.

Mr Modi, who formally took over charge of his office on Tuesday, has created a special Ministry of Ganga rejuvenation headed by Ms Uma Bharati.

The Israeli Ambassador, whose country has made great strides in Water cleaning and water management, said they were aware of Mr Modi’s strong desire for restoring the serenity of the river.

‘ We have been listening to the speeches of the Prime Minister during the election campaign in Varanasi and we have noticed his strong appeal to maintain the sanctity of the Ganga,” Mr Ushpiz said.

The Ambassador said he had been to Varanasi himself and found it ‘one of the most fascinating places in the world’.

‘ We went to the Ganga ghats in Varanasi in the evening to see the ‘Ganga Aarti, a really very fascinating sight,” he said.

Asked whether, the Israeli government was part of any existing Ganga cleaning project, Mr Ushpiz said,” We will be very proud to take part in any such project.’

The Ambassador, however, pointed out that his country was involved in many water-related projects in India. It was part of a water desalination Plant in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad.

Mr Ushpiz also saw a lot of scope in cooperation in water management with India. He said Israel loses eight per cent of its water in piping it out to destinations, and in India this amount could be higher, and if India could cut it by half using the Israeli method, it would benefit millions of its citizens.

Besides, Israel has a very effective water recycling technology too, he said. UNI NAZ RBS 1033 NNNN

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
