India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryNĕy.—(SITI), Tamil; tax on the traders in ghee; same as nĕy-vilai; cf. also eṇṇĕy. Note: nĕy is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
Source: Mandala Texts: Né: Sacred SitesNey (གནས་) refers to “sacred sites” in Bhutanese tradition.—Bhutan is full of places known as ney (གནས་) or sacred sites. Ney, which literally means an abode or space for abiding, is a sacred and spiritually powerful area. It can extend across a whole valley or a mountain or refer to a single rock, tree or a temple. Bhutanese consider their country to be spiritually potent with numerous ney sites, particularly those that are blessed by Padmasambhava.
The ney sites often share an outstanding physical characteristic of being a spectacular and awe inspiring natural landscape or exotic feature. The Jomolhari snow mountain, Singyedzong valley, Taktshang cliff, the riverine pool of Membartsho and the cave of Wangdi Ney, are examples of such natural spots. Natural and spiritual energies and vibes flow from the landscape of such powerful spots, making them conducive environment for spiritual experience. Thus, spiritual persons seek such places in order to speed up and enhance their spiritual practice.
Meditation and spiritual practices at such ney sites are said to yield much more and faster results than in other areas. Spending a night at such a ney is considered more meritorious then spending weeks at other religious sites. Thus, Bhutanese in general make concerted efforts to visit such places. The religious hermits in Bhutan spend their time travelling from one such powerful ney site to another in order to meditate or build a base in such a ney. The belief in and culture of ney sites, which have been mostly conserved in their pristine form and with little human pollution, has also contributed enormously to the conservation of the nature in Bhutan.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
