He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, "Sisters and brothers ofAmerica ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893. Born into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his guru, Ramakrishna, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated there as National Youth Day.

  • Analysis of Mangrove Vegetation of Diviseema
    Received: 10th August-2012 Revised: 13th August -2012 Accepted: 19th August -2012 Research article ANALYSIS OF MANGROVE VEGETATION OF DIVISEEMA REGION, KRISHNA DISTRICT, ANDHRA PRADESH Nabi A.1* , Brahmaji Rao P.2 and Rama Prasad A.V.1 1Department of Humanities & Sciences, D.M.S.S.V.H. College of Engineering, Machilipatnam. 2Department of Environmental Science, Acharya Nagarjuna University, Guntur. Email-id: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Mangrove Ecosystems play an important role in preventing cyclones and tsunamis at estuaries from entering into interior land and in the economic development of local inhabitants. Mangrove plants have special adaptations such as stilt roots, viviparous germination, salt-excreting leaves, breathing roots, knee roots by which these plants survive in water logged anaerobic saline soils. The study of mangrove ecosystems in the deltaic region of Krishna river, particularly in Diviseema region is very less and hence taken up. Selection of the main field stations, the study of various representative quadrats of sub-field stations and the study of mangrove species are made. The Frequencies, IVI, MIV and SI and CD of the mangrove species in the study area are determined and analysed. Key Words: Mangrove Ecosystem, Vegetation analysis, Important Value Index, Maturity Index Values, Similarity Index and Coefficient Difference. Abbreviations: IVI - Important Value Index; MIV - Maturity Index Values; SI-Similarity Index; CD - Coefficient Difference. INTRODUCTION Mangrove plants are specialized to tolerate high salinity, tidal extremes, and high fluctuations in wind, temperature and muddy anaerobic soil with the development of some adaptive morphological characteristics. No other groups of terrestrial plants survive well under such conditions.

    International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering (IJITEE) ISSN: 2278-3075, Volume-9 Issue-3, January 2020 Monthly Suspended Sediment Load Estimation Using Artificial Neural Network and Traditional Models in Krishna River Basin, India Arla Rama Krishna, Arvind Yadav, Thottempudi Bhavani, Penke Satyannarayana Rivers are one of the most significant mechanisms that regul Abstract: The measurement of sediment yield is essential for ate the stability of the river bank, the formation of soil, water getting the information of the mass balance between sea and land. quality, geochemical sections of aquatic ecosystems and the It is difficult to directly measure the suspended sediment because host of specific processes related to the earth. Due to change it takes more time and money. One of the most common pollutants in the aquatic environment is suspended sediments. The sediment s in place in the continent throughout the earth's history, rive loads in rivers are controlled by variables like canal slope, basin r flow and sediment masses together have shown differences volume, precipitation seasonality and tectonic activity. Water across completely different periods of time. However, a discharge and water level are the major controlling factor for high-flow stream's high sediment carrying capacity can only estimate the sediment load in the Krishna River. Artificial neural increase sedimentary suspension if a further sediment is network (ANN) is used for sediment yield modeling in the Krishna offered. During all days of high discharge, the provision is River basin, India. The comparative results show that the ANN is the easiest model for the suspended sediment yield estimates and made through the erosion from the land surface and provides a satisfactory prediction for very high, medium and low suspension of particles such as clay sand, etc.
