My Journey into Sanatana Dharma

For time and memorial humanity has been asking this question and so are you and the reason you're watching this video or this blog is because you want to know the answer but the question is how long after this video do you persist to keep asking this question how much does it bother you how much research have you done on this topic what have you explored beyond what you already know what have you read have you read all the perspectives in the world to ask this question have you even wondered about the nature of reality have you wondered about the nature of God and if the claims made by the major religion that you subscribe to actually answer the questions that are important that difficult do you feel like you have all the answers or is the answer it's true because it's in the book if you don't put in the effort to find out about the ultimate reality the ultimate God you know the sustainer of the universe and this is a passing entertainment note then you don't deserv...

 The second habit of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. And the book written by Simon Sinek starts with the "why". Are essentially saying the same thing. That anything worthwhile in this world that has to sustain has to first understand why we are doing what we are doing. So starting with the end in the mind basically just means to understand what it is that we are trying to achieve. And the Indian Vedic Society starts with that first question to answer. And I bet every religion starts with that. Everybody understood that death is the only reality. That's the end, as far as we can tell. And then we have our own theories that are competing with each other about what happened after the fact. Of course, in the modern world where there are no beliefs anymore and humanity has for the most part started to behave like there is absolutely guaranteed nothing after death. Is the foundational reason for most common social problems. The biggest of them being the modern problem ...

 Simon Sinek wrote a book The Infinite Games. It was one of the best sellers of its time. But the book was about businesses that play the infinite game, emerging as the biggest winners in the long term. But the Rishis have been teaching humans to play the infinite game since before time can track. And that is the whole Alexander and the Yogi podcast, all about yes, being Alexander is tactical, but being the yogi is strategy. And a strategy to play the infinite game. Because what's the point of winning in the short lifespan of ours if you lose the long infinite game that we are all having to play without a choice? Well, most of us at least have no choice.For the most part.But the Rishis found a way out to beat and win in these infinite games.And by infinite games I mean an infinite lives. Infinite statistically not numerically. पुनरपि जननम पुनरपि मरणम  पुनरपि जननी जठरे शयनम  इहसमसारे बहुदुस्तारे कृपया  पाहे पाहि मुरारे  What Adi Shankara there is saying...

 I read this book, Deep Work, a long time back. By the author, Cal Newport One of the things that this book talked about. Was something very important that gets missed in the larger thoughts about deep work and concentration, etc. He talks about his Jewish friend who has traditional Jewish training, reading and analyzing the Torah. This very wellplished professor tenured professor accomplishing some amazing feats of human accomplishments not just in the field of computer science, but also such a precocious author tells us that this friend of his can run circles around him when it comes to raw intelligence. Then he goes on to explain the biological mechanisms of what is actually happening. He says the way the Torah is understood by these Jewish students. Allows certain layers of their brains to build very strong network connections. And you do that over generations, you get the smartest people in the world, which are the Jewish people, as far as we can tell. I don't think there is a...

When I'm able to talk to people I can be open with and what people I love I actually tell them that if it were up to me I would wish that your heart would break.  I'm I'm sure that will scandalize most people when they hear it because that's not what you expect from a friend and someone who you love but if you truly ask me it's one of the greatest gifts that you can get especially in the modern world.  You see in the modern world most of us are living like squirrels have you seen a squirrel level it just keeps going from one place to another one place or another running from here to there to Branch to Branch to leave to leave to not to not to Branch to last here to their process the road up up the tree down the tree behind another squirrel, essentially in the modern world that squirrel is our attention and that attention is us. Let's say we keep doing that we live like a squirrel and we die what's the difference between the actual squirrel and us not much I ...

 The cautionary note comes down to a specific metabolic trap that the FADS2 vegetarian variant creates — essentially, a gene that was perfectly suited for traditional plant-based diets becomes a liability in a modern industrialized diet. Here's the full picture: ## The Core Mechanism: FADS2 as a Double-Edged Sword The FADS1/FADS2 enzyme system doesn't just convert ALA (plant omega-3) into EPA/DHA — it simultaneously converts **linoleic acid (LA)**, an omega-6 fat, into **arachidonic acid (AA)**. The vegetarian insertion allele turbocharges *both* pathways equally. Research found that people with two copies of the insertion (I/I genotype) have **57% higher plasma arachidonic acid** and a **32% higher AA-to-EPA+DHA ratio** compared to those without the variant. Arachidonic acid is a central driver of inflammatory eicosanoids — it's literally a primary pharmaceutical target for heart disease, colon cancer, and other inflammatory conditions.[1][2][3] ## Why Modern Diets Make Th...
