Fw: [sreevidya] Invitation to visit "Dasa mahavidhya temple" in Bhojpur, MP

Subject: [sreevidya] Invitation to visit "Dasa mahavidhya temple" in Bhojpur, MP

Dear all,

We kindly invite you to visit the newly constructed "Dasa Mahavidhya temple".

Situated in Bhojpur, 30km from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, 'Nikhildham' is a rare place of worship. It is the only temple in India dedicated to the 'Dasa Mahavidhyas'* or the 'Ten Mahavidhyas'. Either a temple has one deity or a few deities, but a place of worship dedicated to all the Mahavidhyas is rare.

'Nikhildham' was inaugurated in March 2005. Spread over five acres, the temple has the idols of all the 'Ten Mahavidhyas', specially carved by inspired artisans of Rajasthan. 'Nikhildham' is home to numerous trees, herbs and shrubs, which are rare and unique for pure `Tantra Sadhana'. The complex is serene and situated on the bank of a river. It is a unique place in the world of spirituality.

We request you to take a look at the photos at :

With our kind regards,

Members of Mahavidhya Sadhak Parivar

> The Japanese supercomputer "Kei," developed jointly by Fujitsu and
> RIKEN as a national project, took first place in the top 500 list at
> the International Conference on Supercomputing held in Hamburg,
> Germany, in June. The so-called "K Computer" outstripped its
> competitors, being more than three times faster than the second-place
> Chinese Tianhe-1A and more than four times faster than the US'
> third-ranked "Jaguar" (developed by IBM). Given that the competition
> takes place every six months, the K Computer is expected to maintain
> its lead as the world's most powerful computer for at least a year or
> so.
>
> Cutting-edge supercomputer technologies are an important indicator of
> a state's level of science and technology - and ultimately of
> national strength - because they require comprehensive skills in
> blending various kinds of high-tech components. While the development
> and application of supercomputers do help to improve people's daily
> lives through advances in clinical research and other means and
> promote technological development and enrichment, supercomputer
> research and development (R&D) requires enormous sums in excess of
> 100 billion yen. Whether and how the allocation of taxpayers' money
> for such a project is justified is strongly influenced by the state's
> views on science and technology.
>
> Although now ranked number one in the world, the K Computer earlier
> faced a major crisis. When the ruling Democratic Party of Japan
> attempted to streamline public spending two years ago, it decided to
> abolish funding for supercomputer R&D. The announcement sparked
> strong opposition from scientists and prominent figures in the
> industry, which eventually caused the government to restore funding
> under supplement budgets. Paradoxically, the project proceeded at a
> faster pace than previously planned.
>
> How the K Computer achieved first place after this budgetary crisis
> teaches us an important lesson: the levels of Japan's
> high-performance computers are a function of the priority given to
> supercomputer R&D within the state's science and technology policy
> and among the government's spending priorities. As a scientist
> engaged in the K Computer project, I think greater consideration
> should have been given to R&D for the K Computer, which could nurture
> basic technologies to shore up Japan's science and technology

> Supercomputer R&D requires wide-ranging competency in managing the
> extremely sophisticated technologies necessary to conduct
> micro-semiconductor processing, design and implement instruction
> sets, interconnect central processing units (CPUs), rectify incorrect

> of Japan's hardware technologies. A pressing challenge is making full
> use of the supercomputer to solve many previously unsolvable problems
> and to have fresh impacts on people's daily lives and scientific and

> to be one of Japan's weaknesses. This will in turn enable Japan to
> declare with confidence that its supercomputing technologies are
> truly the best in the world. It will then have another indicator
