Sardar Patel united 565 states and 400 million diverse people in 6 months. That was the caliber of the man.
When the others set out to enjoy the dawn of Freedom, Sardar Patel set out to a daunting task of unifying India.

565 Princely states, 565 aspirations to be the ‘Ruler’ and all these sided their aspirations in front of this man. That was the respect he commanded.
Sardar Patel handled 565 states and a man (not to be named) handled one state: Kashmir.

जो ईशादि दस प्रधान उपनिषदों के अनंतर एकादश एवं शेष उपनिषदों में अग्रणी है कृष्ण यजुर्वेद का अंग है। छह अध्याय और 113 मंत्रों के इस उपनिषद् को यह नाम इसके प्रवक्ता श्वेताश्वतर ऋषि के कारण प्राप्त है। Image

मीमांसा दर्शन

भारत के छ: आस्तिक दर्शनों में मीमांसा दर्शन का महत्त्वपूर्ण स्थान है। इसके प्रवर्तक जैमिनी हैं। मीमांसा शब्द का वास्तविक अर्थ तर्क-पूर्ण चिंतन,विवेचन तथा अनुप्रयोग की कला है। यह विचार पद्धति वैदिक साहित्य के भाग रहे संहिता तथा ब्राह्मणों के विश्लेषण पर केंद्रित थी।
