  • Phychochemical Composition on Three Species of Sargassum from Southeast Coast of Tamil Nadu, India
    Plant Archives Vol. 20 Supplement 1, 2020 pp. 1555-1559 e-ISSN:2581-6063 (online), ISSN:0972-5210 PHYCHOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION ON THREE SPECIES OF SARGASSUM FROM SOUTHEAST COAST OF TAMIL NADU, INDIA K. Murugaiyan Department of Botany, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar-608002 (Tamil Nadu) India. Abstract Phycochemical studies on three species of Sargassum have been made to understand which is the most important and useful for mariculture. The species studied were Sargassum ilicifolium, Sargassum liniarifolium and Sargassum polycystum. Phycochemical studies such as the amount of protein, amino acids, carbohydrate and iodine have been made for comparison. Macro-elements such as Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash and micro-elements like Calcium, magnesium and Iron have been made for interrelationship among the taxa. The amount of iodine (206.08 mg/100 g) in Sargassum ilicifolium was higher than the other two species. The amount of protein (44.4 mg/g f.w) in Sargassum liniarifolium was higher whereas the amount of amino acids (0.45 mg/g f.w) was high in Sargassum ilicifolium. But the total sugar (0.67 mg/g f.w) in S. polycystum showed maximum value. With reference to micro and macro­elements, Sargassum ilicifolium showed maximum values. The phycochemical studies of the three species showed better result in Sargassum ilicifolium and this may be a good species for Mariculture. Key word: Phycochemical, Macro element, Microelement, Macro algae, Sargassum, Southeast Coast, Rameswaram. Introduction a concentration much higher than in terrestrial plants. Seaweeds are one of the most important marine They also contain protein, iodine, bromine, vitamins and resources of the world and being used as human food, substances of stimulatory and antibiotic nature.

  • Hinduism, the Misunderstood Religion
    399 HINDUISM, THE MISUNDERSTOOD RELIGION NALLUSAMY, Kanthasamy MALEZYA/MALAYSIA/МАЛАЙЗИЯ ABSTRACT Hinduism is one of the world’s oldest religions. This faith has faced many ups and downs during the passage of time. However, the theological and philosophical aspects of Hinduism together with the concept of God as the Almighty had made it easier to survive. But in recent times, Hinduism has been misunderstood not only by the followers of other faiths but some of the Hindus themselves. The basic concepts of God, Soul and Bondage or technically, pati, pacu and paca have not been clearly understood. There is only one God but the concept of multiplicity has not been fully understood. The relationship of God with the soul and likewise the relationship of the soul with mala or impurities also have been often wrongly interpreted. The concept of anava, karma and maya in the religion is to assist Hindus in the right path and not a hindrance to their life. This paper thus focuses on the various aspects which the followers have misunderstood the religion. The practicality of the religion, especially during festivals and religious programs, often contradicts with the basic tenets of Hinduism. Motivational talks with the religious themes often tend to give false ideas which clearly not present within the framework of Hinduism. Such attempts may affect the purity and the sacred teachings of Hinduism. Key Words: Hinduism, religion. Introduction Among the religions practised in the world today, Hinduism has an antiquity of many years. Till today, there are no accurate or written documents to prove when Hinduism actually came into being.

Shankar, M.A., M. Phil. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Susan L. Huntington, Adviser Professor John C. Huntington Professor Howard Crane ----------------------------------------- Adviser History of Art Graduate Program Copyright by Bindu S. Shankar 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the theme of dance imagery in south Indian temples by focusing on one aspect of dance expression, namely, the 108-karana sculptures. The immense popularity of dance to the south Indian temple is attested by the profusion of dance sculptures, erection of dance pavilions (nrtta mandapas), and employment of dancers (devaradiyar). However, dance sculptures are considered merely decorative addtitions to a temple. This work investigates and interprets the function and meaning of dance imagery to the Tamil temple. Five temples display prominently the collective 108-karana program from the eleventh to around the 17th century. The Rajaraja Temple at Thanjavur (985- 1015 C.E.) displays the 108-karana reliefs in the central shrine. From their central location in the Rajaraja Temple, the 108 karana move to the external precincts, namely the outermost gopura. In the Sarangapani Temple (12-13th century) at Kumbakonam, the 108 karana are located in the external façade of the outer east gopura. The subsequent instances of the 108 karana, the Nataraja Temple at Cidambaram (12th-16th C.E.), the Arunachalesvara Temple at Tiruvannamalai (16th C.E.), and the Vriddhagirisvara Temple at Vriddhachalam (16th-17th C.E.), ii also use this relocation.
