My Journey into Sanatana Dharma

Lately I've been ruminating over the concept of quantum entanglement. As some of you might be aware: The fact of quantum entanglement has been scientifically established and proven beyond the scope of any doubt. What is Quantum Entanglement? Well, please do your research before continuing on. I suggest reading the Fabric of the Cosmos by Dr. Brian Greene. But watching a youtube video on the same might suffice for now. As you watch the video, you will realize that without Quantum entanglement, quantum mechanics is not possible. Without quantum mechanics, our modern life is not possible. Now, how on earth does this entanglement happen? No one knows why and how this very real event functions, but it does. Now, to me, this is the single most clear evidence for Advaita, the non-dual nature of the nature of reality/God, Brahman. Tell me, what has the same reaction at any point in space to the same stimuli without needing to traverse the distance unless it is a  single ...

What is the story of creation in Sanatana Dharma? Although there are many stories in the many books belonging to this realm, there is an underlying philosophy that is really well explained at the following location: http://www.pathsofdevotion.com/hinduism/hinduism_science.html A small excerpt from the above location I think should summarize the bottom line: There is no one Hindu creation story.  Numerous cosmogonies can be found in almost all of the important Hindu scriptures.  A Hindu maxim states that “Truth is One; the sages call it by different names” (Rig Veda 1:164:46).  This axiom helps to explain how it is possible for Hindus to simultaneously embrace so many different versions of creation.  Hindus tend to see metaphors in these creation myths for philosophical and spiritual truths.  The  Encyclopedia of Religion  article on Cosmogony classifies cosmogonic myths into six categories. 2   Within the Hindu tradition, there are creat...

Instead of writing books, Lets take this note from wiki and leave the rest to the reader to explore further on how realists lost a long long time ago and they don't even know it yet. O course in reality (no pun intended) they are the classical case of critics, that's all they know to do, to criticize. Read on.... And let the sound of the slap reverberate to the ends of the universe. According to Marin, the opposition to mystical interpretations of Quantum Mechanics that Einstein and others had stemmed from their adherence to the philosophical school of  realism . Yet in the 2007 Nature paper  An experimental test of non-local realism ,  Anton Zeilinger and his colleagues wrote that, "Most working scientists hold fast to the concept of ‘realism’—a viewpoint according to which an external reality exists independent of observation. But quantum physics has shattered some of our cornerstone beliefs. According to Bell’s theorem, any theory that is based on the joint a...

Some time back (a few years ago), I met a friend of my, then to be wife, at a restaurant,  and some conversation that I can't exactly recall came about regarding, faith and belief, and he was quick to quip with with a proud gait, " I believe in One God". I was taken aback, offended. It felt pretty condescending, in the way he put it to me. And that got me thinking to which I am responding now. Its been a few years since that incident, but I can't come to terms with the lack of understanding and the condescension thrown at us that belong to the Sanatana Dharma.  Why was I offended? Of course if no harm, no condescension was meant he didnt have to mention his faith in the One God. Its not like he came up to me and told me he saw the sun rise in the East every morning. I grew up in a pretty liberal household, while my grandmother was pretty orthodox in her life style, did not really force us in to an orthodox life style (honestly, I regret she didn't do it). B...

A Hindu was flying from JFK New York Airport to SFO San Francisco Airport CA to attend a meeting at Monterey, CA. An American girl was sitting on the right sid e, near window seat. It indeed was a long journey - it would take nearly seven hours. He was surprised to see the young girl reading a Bible unusual of young Americans. After some time she smiled and we had few acquaintances talk.He told her that I am from India Then suddenly the girl asked: 'What's your faith?' 'What?' He didn't understand the question. 'I mean, what's your religion? Are you a Christian? Or a Muslim?' 'No!' He replied, 'He am neither Christian nor Muslim'. Apparently she appeared shocked to listen to that. 'Then who are you?' “I am a Hindu”, He said. She looked at him as if she was seeing a caged animal. She could not understand what He was talking about. A common man in Europe or US knows about Christianity and Islam, as they are t...
