  • Activities in Saint Community
    October , 201 3 Vol. No. 158 Ahimsa Foundation in World Over + 100000 The Only Jain E-Magazine Community Service for 14 Continuous Years Readership "What would be the condition of the Indian Sanskrit literature if the contribution of the Jains were removed? The more I study Jain literature the more happy and wonder struck I am." Dr. Hertel, Germany ACTIVITIES IN SAINT COMMUNITY JAIN SECTS UNITE FOR PARYUSHAN FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY For the first time in 2,500 years, the two sects of Jainism — Shvetambar and Digambar — have come together for the pious festival of Paryushan. They are jointly observing an 18-day Paryushan in Jaipur. Across the country, Paryushan of Shvetambar Jains ended on Monday (September 9). But in Jaipur, the festival started on September 2 and will go on till September 19. In a discourse Muni Tarunsagarji said, "I called on the entire Jain community to give up their differences and come together and realize that the religion is stronger than their individual beliefs. Earlier, he gave a clarion call to Jains when he was in Bangalore 10 years ago and told people to keep aside the finer points of the two sects and come together. "That", he said, "would be the real honour to the Tirthankar (the liberated, omniscient ones)." A decade later, those in Jaipur have answered the call. When Tarunsagarji Maharajsaheb and Shvetambar monk Lalitprabji maharajsaheb said, "Na aath, na dus, athara ko yaad rakho bas (not eight, not 10, but remember 18 days of Paryushan)," the entire community, made up of about 60% Digambars and 40% Shvetambars, accepted the idea.

  • India: Depths of Opportunity Robert L
    OOFFSHOREFFSHORE FFA TransoceanRORO Inc. PublicationNTIERSNTIERSMay 2003 India: Depths of Opportunity Robert L. Long President and CEO Welcome India is one of the most fascinating countries I have ever visited. The complexity and richness of the culture, the tremendous natural resources and the vast pool of talented and highly educated people give India unlimited potential. Transocean is fortunate to be playing a role in the development of India’s energy infrastructure. Thanks to the outstanding efforts from India District Manager Deepak Munganahalli and his team, we expanded our activity from one to six rigs during the 18 months through April. In the process, we have made a very significant gas discovery — the Dhirubhai find in the Krishna-Godavari basin — for Reliance Industries, which is emerging as a major, new E&P player. Also, it should be noted that the Discoverer 534 set a water depth record in India drilling in 5,773 feet of water before leaving for Malaysia in April. We are excited about the future prospects in India. Under the dynamic leadership of Chairman Subir Raha, the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd of India (ONGC) is significantly increasing drilling activity and, of particular interest to Transocean, is making a concerted effort to explore India’s deepwater potential. As we go to press with this issue of Offshore Frontiers, we are preparing to respond to two ONGC tenders for five additional jackups and at least two, and possibly four, additional deepwater rigs. In addition, Reliance will be contracting a deepwater rig to develop the Dhirubhai discovery. If all this activity proceeds, India could become a very significant deepwater drilling province and a key player in Transocean’s future growth strategy.

If you’re a history lover and just love to soak in all that history like me then the Rajagd Fort should really be on your bucket list. The Fort is nearly 450 years old. This was the first fort built by a great Indian warrior-king Chhatrapati Shivaji Rajgad Fort Maharaj Bhosale and was the capital of the Maratha Empire for almost 26 years. This fort is located in Pune, district Maharashtra on the hill-top offering an eye-dropping panoramic view of the city above. The King of Forts: Rajagd Fort The great Rajgad Fort (literal meaning Ruling Fort). It was formerly known as Murumdev until 1654 when its name changed to “Rajgad”. This fort is one of the 17 forts that Shivaji Maharaj kept when he signed the Treaty of Purandar. Geography: The Fort is built on a hill called Marumbadevi Dongar (The Mountain of the Goddess Murumba) close to the border Bhor- Velhe Taluka.
