History

harina [27]3 years ago

John D. Rockefeller was president and main shareholder of the Standard Oil Co. Inc., besides having been one its founders. In a short time the company grew exponentially, thanks to its secret agreements with the railway companies to lower transport rates. In contrast, and due to its enormous production capacity. Standard Oil offered railway companies an uniform and constant flow, which allowed them to reduce operating costs. This commercial strategy allowed the price of oil and its derivatives to drop drastically in a short time, benefiting the final consumers.

Answer:

Marco Polo was one of the first and most famous Europeans to travel to Asia during the Middle Ages. He traveled farther than any of his predecessors during his 24-year journey along the Silk Road, reaching China and Mongolia, where he became a confidant of Kublai Khan.

Marco Polo, the great Venetian explorer/merchant is said to have brought back with him from his fabled visits to China, noodles, which became the pasta that Italy is famed for today. ... Basically, the idea is that he brought back dried “filamentous” pasta or noodles.

and he traveled extensively with his family, journeying from Europe to Asia from 1271 to 1295 and remaining in China for 17 of those years. Around 1292, he left China, acting as consort along the way to a Mongol princess who was being sent to Persia.

Why was the world created ? in hinduism creation myth
laiz [17]
<span>Here is a short summary of the creation process as described by the Vedic sages.Creation always goes from subtle to gross, or from psychic to physical. Like, if a human being wants to create a sky-scraper or an F-16, it begins with an idea in the mind. It begins with the most subtle - thinking - then calculations and planning, then drawings, and then the most gross (ie. physical) takes place, when the ingredients are being collected and assembled.In the same way the Lord creates the material world. Actually Krishna Himself doesn't deal in the petty details of creating, maintaining, and destroying the material world. First Krishna expands as Balaram, then Balaram expands as Vishnu, and then Vishnu expands as Maha-Vishnu, and it is that form of Vishnu who manifests the universes through His breathing.Vishnu then enters into each and every one of the universes, and creates Brahma, the first created living being, who is a soul like you and I, and this Brahma then creates all the varieties of bodies, oceans, mountains, trees, insects, plants, etc. in the universe. So Vishnu provides the ingredients, then Brahma assembles them. The soul is an atomic particle of Krishna's consciousness. It is not created, It has always been an emanation from God, like rays emanating from the sun. Vishnu animates the creation of Brahma by glancing over it, and infusing it with living sparks - souls.So first of all there is pradhana - the un-manifested material energy of God. Then, when Krishna agitates the pradhana in His form as Time, the matter is produced. The first element of matter is ahankara, false ego, the most subtle of the 8 material element. False ego produces ether or space, and from that comes sound - the inherent quality of space. Space then produces air and its qualities - touch and sound. Air then generates fire and its qualities of form, touch, and sound. Fire generates water and its qualities of taste, form, touch, and sound, and then the final element of earth and its qualities of aroma, taste, form, touch, and sound is created.In this way the world and its elements are created from the touch of God in the form of time on the unmanifested material energy - pradhana. But none of all this is animated before Maha-vishnu infuses the creation with souls - living sparks. The manifested world is comprised of 24 elements.The 24 elements are: space, air, fire, water, and earth. The five objects of the senses - sound, touch, form, taste, and smell. The five knowledge-acquiring senses - ears, skin, eyes, tongue, and nose. The five working senses - hands, legs, speech, anus, and genitals. And then the three subtle or psychic elements - mind, intelligence, and false ego. That makes 23 elements, and the final element, totaling 24, is the jiva or the soul.Then there are also 3 energies or qualities that agitate matter, and they are sattva-guna, the quality of goodness; raja-guna - the quality of passion, and Tama-guna - the quality of ignorance. Goodness produces maintenance, passion produces creation, and ignorance produces destruction.All living entities have bodies that are a mixture of these 3 modes of nature. Every situation, every material manifestation is a mixture of the three modes of nature. Just like all colors and shades of colors are produced from three primary colors – red, yellow andblue - so any situation, result, body, mentality, place, or any manifestation at all, are produced from the 3 modes of material nature.Knowledge of how the modes of nature work and their manifestations are elaborately explained by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat Purana.This knowledge is scientific and will enable a student to correctly discern, understand, and predict anyone's nature, actions, and fate.
I hope this helps!
Good day to you.
