Proud of this great intellectual guide....he is so passionate....great...but few facts are distorted and images tell a different story but he is fed with leftist agenda driven facts. Its not his fault but represents mindset of his generation long back.
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." · Carl Sagan
A photo that has nothing but a blue dot, yet it is Everything "If you look at it, you see a dot, thats here, thats home, thats us. In it everything you ever known, everything you ever loved every man and woman, every rich and poor. Every lover and hater, every good and bad, every hero and every villain, every politics and ideologies. Every innocent and sinners, every leaders, every peasant, every creator and destroyer. *Everything humanity has ever made throughout the history is there, a blue dot suspended on a sun beam*
सचमुच समस्त सनातन संस्कृति का एक पूर्ण अंश उत्कल प्रदेश है। जिससे उत्कल प्रदेश की गौरव गाथा आज तक मुखर हो उठती है। और आगे भी उठती रहेगी। उत्कल में जन्म लेकर जगन्नाथ संस्कृति से यानी उत्कल संस्कृति से ओतप्रोत रहता है वह व्यक्ति अति धन्य अवश्य है। जय जगन्नाथ जय उत्कल #kyabaathai
Guide is so just a gentle, explains in very deep manner once the quote proves never judge a book by it's cover, amazing explanation, best guide and best preserve temple of India. Great it's included in UNESCO world heritage site.
Guide's personal opinions based on hearsay shouldn't be taken as history. Especially his last remark "because rulers of that region spent on making of such grand temples, state of Odisha is impoverished" sounds completely non factual and prejudiced. On the contrary, making and sustaining such temple ecosystem is possible only if the state is prosperous. Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern Indian states lack such grand temples and yet that region is facing extreme poverty. According to this guide's prejudiced opinion, those regions should have been greatly prosperous!
The guide is great teacher & we thrill to understand our rich history. Apart from this is a highly skilled architecture heritage site of Ancient India. Let's pray to Surya Narayan to bring back our golden pride once again. Thanks Gaurav sharing this vedio.
