My Journey into Sanatana Dharma

One of the most common ideas on time in the Sanatana Dharma is the concept of Yugas. As far as I know there are 4 Yugas (which also possibly repeat themselves), but in general the four of them are : Satya Yuga Treta Yuga: SreeRama Dwapara Yuga: Sree Krishna Kali Yuga And if you read about these yugas in any of our scriptures, be the Puranas, or the Bhagwath Geeta, the Bhagavatham, but there is a strong agreement in every school of thought regarding the yugas. Now, what does this have anything to do with the second law of Thermodynamics: Law of Entropy I just read through chapter six of the Fabric of the Cosmos by Dr. Brian Greene (obviously I watched the PBS Nova show as well, but I waited till I read the book to blog on this concept for better clarity). Chapter six talks about the conundrum of how classical physics and our common perception of time are related to entropy. A vastly complicated topic for the purposes of this blog. But here is the gist: The re...

ఏకాదశి వ్రతము ప్రారంభము మార్గాసిరమాసుములోనే  -- సామవేదం శంముఘ శాస్త్రి 

I do believe Jesus Christ was a great saint with a great message. I do believe that he tried to bring the ppl of Jerusalem closer to God. But I do not believe the Bible is accurate. I mean if the 4 main gospels have different, completely un related accounts on Jesus's ressurection, i dont know what to believe any more. Its a sad state of affairs with Christianity today (since forever). I am sure Jesus Christ himself would be ashamed of the power politics that has ruled Christiandom since its grabbing of power in Europe, its Crusades. Christianity today is a money making, power grabbing empire, anything but what Jesus Christ had hoped for. He was a true saint. I am sure many of the St.s were true and I respect them and pray to them. And the corruption and the reality of today's Christianity is what troubles me about the conversions happening all over India. This is the kind of mindset that eventually, if Christians gain a considerable % of the population in India will ...

Even he quoted from the Mahabharata when touched by the enormity of the Atomic bomb. Wonder why, beign a christian/Jew he has nothing to quote from these scriptures.

Nikola Tesla and Swami Vivekananda by Mr. Toby Grotz, President, Wireless Engineering Swami Vivekananda, late in the year l895 wrote in a letter to an English friend, "Mr. Tesla thinks he can demonstrate mathematically that force and matter are reducible to potential energy. I am to go and see him next week to get this new mathematical demonstration. In that case the Vedantic cosmoloqy will be placed on the surest of foundations. I am working a good deal now upon the cosmology and eschatology of the Vedanta. I clearly see their perfect union with modern science, and the elucidation of the one will be followed by that of the other." (Complete Works, Vol. V, Fifth Edition, 1347, p. 77). Here Swamiji uses the terms force and matter for the Sanskrit terms Prana and Akasha. Tesla used the Sanskrit terms and apparently understood them as energy and mass. (In Swamiji's day, as in many dictionaries published in the first half of the present century, force and energy were no...

Nikola Tesla, the great scientist who specialized in the field of electricity, was much impressed to hear from the Swami his explanation of the Samkhya cosmogony and the theory of cycles given by the Hindus. He was particularly struck by the resemblance between the Samkhya theory of matter and energy and that of modern physics. Read more here... http://www.teslasociety.com/tesla_and_swami.htm

Even General Smuts, who always exerted iron-handed control, is said to have remarked “I do not like your people and I do not care to assist them at all. But what am I to do ? You help us in our days of need. How can we lay hands upon you ? I often wish you took to violence like the English strikers and then we would know at once how to dispose of you. But you will not injure even the enemy. You desire victory by self-suffering alone and never transgress your self-imposed limits of courtesy and chivalry. And that is what reduces us to sheer helplessness”.
