| | | |  City: Chakras
and the Seven Sacred CitiesSeven cities in India correspond to
seven centres or chakras in our body: Ayodhya, Mathura, Maya, Kashi, Kanchi,
Avantika, Puri drawaravati chaiva, Saptaide moksha dayika. The seven cities
are companioned with seven sacred
rivers; Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Godavari, Narmada, Sindhu and Kaveri
The microcosm
and the macrocosm are interlinked. Planet earth, home to many organisms, is
itself a large organism. It is not just a place for living beings; it is a
living organism as a whole. This is what the Gaia theory says. Materialism
considers everything as objects. Spirituality, on the other hand, discovers
life in everything.

| | | | | City: Encyclopedia II - Jaffa - History
Jaffa - Name sources.
Jaffa (or Yaffo) is one of the most ancient port cities in the world. Some claim that Jaffa was named after Japheth, one of the three sons of Noah, who built it after the Great Flood. A Hebrew etymology indicates that the city is called Jaffa because of its beauty (yofi in Hebrew). The Hellenist tradition links the name to "Iopeia", which is Cassiopeia, the mother of Andromeda. However the Hellenist accounting for the name dates from hundreds of years after the original naming.

The period in which the city had reached its peak was between 650-545 BC. This period lasted hundred-years and was considered to be the most powerful period of the whole Ionian civilization.

Over the centuries, much of the city was rebuilt, time and again, after numerous fires and attacks by Vikings or Norsemen.

| | | | | City: Encyclopedia II - Ithaca New York - Most Enlightened Town in America Ithaca is commonly listed among the most culturally liberal (or, more controversially and presumptuously, "enlightened") of American small cities. It also sometimes receives accolades for having a high overall quality of life. In 2004, Cities Ranked and Rated named Ithaca the best "emerging city" to live in the United States. The Utne Reader named Ithaca "America's most enlightened town" in 1997 [9].
These designations have at times polarized some local residents: some note the recognition with pride, some see it as an i ...

| | | | | City: Encyclopedia II - Exeter - History The Latin name for Exeter, Isca Dumnoniorum , suggests that the city was originally a Celtic oppidum, or town, on the banks on the River Exe before to the foundation of the Roman city in c. AD 50. Such early towns, or proto-cities, had been a feature of pre-Roman Gaul as described by Julius Caesar in his Gallic Commentaries and it is not improbable that they existed in neighbouring Britain as well. Isca is clearly a Celtic generic noun and the Romans felt the need to label the city Isca Dumnoniorum, or the Isca of the Dumnonii, in order to distinguish it from such settlements as Isca Silurum (modern ...
