  • Significant Persons/Founders
    Significant Persons/ Founders Historical Figures Aksapada Gautama (600 BCE): Aksapada Gautama is believed to be, at the very least, the principal author of Nyaya Sutras, the foundational text of the Nyaya school of Hindu philosophy. Nyaya comprises both philosophical and religious practices. Its ultimate concern is to bring an end to human suffering, which results from ignorance of reality. Liberation is brought about through right knowledge. Nyaya is thus concerned with the means of right knowledge and right action. The date when the text was composed as well as the biography of its author are uncertain. Estimates vary significantly ranging from between 6th-century BCE to 2nd-century BCE. As well, it is believed that the Nyaya Sutras may have been written by more than one author, and perhaps over a long period of time. A sutra is a Sanskrit word that means “string, thread,” and is a condensed manual of knowledge of a specific field or school of thought. Each sutra is written in the form of a short rule, like a theorem summarized into few words or syllables, around which the teachings of any field of knowledge can be woven. The Nyaya Sutras text consists of five books of two chapters each, with a cumulative total of 528 sutras about rules of reason, logic, knowledge, and metaphysics. Kanada (6th Century BCE to 2nd Century BCE): Kanada (also known as Kashyapa, Uluka, Kananda, and Kanabhuk) founded the Vaisheshika school of Hindu philosophy. The Vaisheshika system holds that the smallest, indivisible, indestructible part of the world is an atom (anu).

  • Identification and Mapping of Religious Tourist Resources in Kashmir Valley Manjula Chaudhary*, Naser Ul Islam**
    International Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Systems Volume 13 Issue 1 June 2020 ISSN: 0974-6250 (Print) ©Copyright IJHTS ® Exclusive Marketing Rights: Publishing India Group Identification and Mapping of Religious Tourist Resources in Kashmir Valley Manjula Chaudhary*, Naser Ul Islam** Abstract Religious tourism is modern day format of pilgrimage. Pilgrimage is an old practice of travelling to the sacred places such as temples, mosques, churches and shrines etc. Religious tourism mixes pilgrimage and features of tourism and is considered a tool for sustainability, change and peace building among communities. It is particularly important for India being the fastest growing segment of tourism and given the fact that the whole country is dotted with important religious sites and is known for largest congregation in the world as in the case of Mahakumbh. While each state of country has a unique mix of religious tourism but the state of Jammu and Kashmir have a wonderful mix of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religions sites though it is known more for Vaishno Devi shrine and Amarnath yatra. Kashmir Valley in this state is popularly known for its natural beauty and leisure tourism than religious tourism despite the high resources for religious tourism. This study is an attempt to identify and map the religious tourist resources in Kashmir valley. The nature of the study is exploratory and to find answers to queries raised through objectives both primary and secondary data has been used. The mapping of the sites highlighted that Kashmir has a mixture of different religious attractions and some of these attractions are located in close vicinity to one another.

Consequently, the growth of pilgrimage tourism in J&K has been improved astonishingly. The rapid growth in the inflow of pilgrims helps a lot in the sustainable development of the region by generating socio-economic benefits such as promotion of national integration and international understanding, increasing educational facilities, creation of employment opportunities, increasing domestic incomes and effective demand, opening up new growth centers and removal of regional disparities. Further, if managed properly it could also prove beneficial for environmental conservation and protection by financing for the protection and increasing the economic importance of the natural area as well as by raising the awareness of environmental values among visitors and the local population, so that these natural resources could be preserved for the future generations too. On the other hand, being a double edged sword the unchecked and unregulated rapid growth of pilgrimage tourism also costs a huge in the form of ecological and environmental decimation, degradation local resources, and other socio-cultural and economic problems.
