Q

Statue of Peace?

A

Recently, in Srinagar, Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah unveiled Swami Ramanujacharya’s Statue of Peace.

Vishita Advaita; Dispelled the Mayavada concept, the world is illusionary.

Ramanujacharya was Born in 1017 in Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu.
Ramanujacharya is revered as a Vedic philosopher and social reformer.

Ramanujacharya visited Kashmir in the 11th Century to get an important manuscript called Bodhayana Vritti, a treatise on the Brahma Sutras. 
The Bodhayana Vritti had the reputation of being the most authoritative explanation of the Brahma Sutras.
His disciple Kuresha accompanied him and committed the entire text to memory as local scholars did not permit Ramanujacharya to carry the manuscript out of Kashmir.
After returning to Srirangam, Ramanujacharya dictated the Sri Bhashyam, the commentary on Brahma Sutra and the Acharya’s most notable work, to Kuresha, who wrote it down.
Ramanujacharya again returned to Kashmir after 2 years to dedicate Sri Bhasyam to the region.

The five rhino range nations (India, Bhutan, Nepal, Indonesia and Malaysia) have signed a declaration ‘The New Delhi Declaration on Asian Rhinos 2019’ for the conservation and protection of the species.
Recently, the Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has begun a project to create DNA profiles of all rhinos in the country.
National Rhino Conservation Strategy: It was launched in 2019 to conserve the greater one-horned rhinoceros.
