pilgrimages or temples to visit in kali yuga - as in puranas

 Some Prominent Places of Pilgrimage

Once, sage Shaunak asked Sutji about the means, which enabled human beings to attain salvation in

Kaliyuga.

Sutji recounted a tale -- Once, Kartikeya had posed the same question to kartikeya. Emphasizing on the importance of pilgrimages, Lord Shiva had told him that in kaliyuga anybody could attain salvation by going on pilgrimage to holy places. Giving names of some prominent holy places and rivers, Lord Shiva had told Kartikeya that some of them were capable of fulfilling any wish of a man, while some gave salvation. The names of some prominent rivers Lord Shiva had given were Ganga, Godavari, Narmada, Tapti, Yamuna, Kshipra, Gautami,Kaushiki, Kaveri, Tamraparni, Chandrabhaga, Sindhu, Gandaki, Sarswati, etc. According to Shiva all these rivers were not only capable of fulfilling any wish of a man but also giving salvation. Naming some prominent holy places, Lord Shiva had told Kartikeya that Ayodhya, Dwarka, Kashi, Mathura, Avanti, Kurukshetra, Ramteerth,Kanchi, Purushottam kshetra, Pushkar kshetra, Varah kshetra and Badrikashram were capable of liberating a  man from the sorrows of this world.'

Lord Shiva had told Kartikeya-- 'Anybody who goes on a pilgrimage to Ayodhya becomes absolved of

all his sins. Lord Hari dwells at Dwarka and does not abandon it even for a moment. A devotee, who

takes a holy dip in river Gomti and then pays obeisance to lord Krishna, attains salvation even if he is

ignorant. In the same manner, one who takes a bath in the holy Panchganga at Varanasi, becomes free

from the cycles of birth and death. Anybody, who goes on a pilgrimage to Kashi and pays obeisance to

lord Vishwanath, is freed from all the bondage of this world. Great importance has been attached to the

performance of 'tarpan' at Vishramteerth and anybody who performs the rituals of tarpan with sesame

seeds and water, his ancestors are freed from the tortures of the hell. Taking a holy dip in Kotiteerth at

Avantipuri, in the hindu month of Vaishakh and worshipping lord Mahakaleshwar too absolves a man of

all his sins. Donating gold either at Kurukshetra or Ramteerth, on a solar eclipse day, helps a man in

attaining salvation. Going on a pilgrimage to Purushottam kshetra and worshipping lord Jagannath after

taking a holy dip in Markandeya sarovar, bestows incomparable virtues. Badrinath, the dwelling place

of lord Vishnu, is considered to be the supreme place of pilgrimage and even its remembrance is

capable of giving salvation. Virtues attained by the performance of various deeds (tapa, yoga,

samadhi), appear to be insignificant as compared to virtues attained by going on a pilgrimage to

we think hunger is related to only stomach.  but the hunger is also related to large intestines.  Large intestines are capable of controlling our hunger.  look at this "interconnected nerve cells lining the large intestine has a key role to play in food intake and its digestion. This enteric nervous system is now often referred to as the ‘second brain’. It is capable of directing messages to the brain as well as controlling the release of hormones that influence the movement of food down the gut, feelings of wellbeing and the sensations of being hungry or of being full."   source: https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/1832-large-intestine-function refer enteric nervous system (ENS) and neurogastroenterology for more information on communication that happen between brain and large intestine (gut)

heat or thermal reservoir for thermal engine to transfer and use heat energy.

 reservoir reserves heat. thermal engine works between two reservoirs by transferring the heat.. ground source heat pump - very costly to setup. air source heat pump (ASHP) -  vapor-compression refrigeration - for cooling houses and hot water. Air-to-water heat pump - for heating rooms. Electric heat pump water heaters are significantly more efficient than electric resistance water heaters, but also more expensive to purchase. hot engine coolant to heat a vehicle using waste heat from industries and environment. Thermal energy storage (TES) is achieved with widely different technologies. Depending on the specific technology, it allows excess thermal energy to be stored and used hours, days, months later, at scales ranging from the individual process, building, multiuser-building, district, town, or region.
