My Journey into Sanatana Dharma

I grew up in America since my late teens. And an attempt to “Party” (regretfully) has been a constant endeavor on a regular basis. And what does partying mean? Most people I know its about getting high and finding a girl to hang out with. Luckily, drinking never caught my imagination although I’ve tried quite a few different list of things. I was in general out for the second part, as I said, I regret my immaturity. You see I understand young immature kids seeking the second pleasure, coz its so ingrained to the deepest levels of our DNA and consciousness. No one needs to initiate us into it, no one needs to teach us anything about it. It just a is a natural process. And talking in terms of Sanatana Dharma Philosophy, this is one “Vasana”/ “Samskara” that is potentially the deepest and the most difficult to get rid of, that following the sookshma sharira ( the subtle body) across reincarnations for eternity (until of course you fall off the cycle through “liberation”/Niravana…wat ev...

Recently I came across an article on facebook which read: "The West, not even three centuries after the industrial revolution, is now running out of breath. It has no direction, no healthy foundations, no value left except selfishness and greed, nothing to fill one's heart with. India alone has preserved something of the deeper values that can make a man human and the world will surely be turning to them in search of a remedy to it's advanced malady."  - Michel Danino. I've been thinking on similar line for a while now. Yes, I came to America seeing the glitter created by the silicon valley boom. I was 16. But the more I understand the nuances of life in the west, of course by west, I can only talk about life in America, I see how hollow and how thoughtless this society really is in general. Our over dependence on all things modern has gotten us where? We sit on the most comfortable furniture in the history of mankind, yet the chiropractor business...

Found an extraordinary piece today on scientific American. Its an interview with Dr. Basil Hailey. The entire script can be found here . The following are the excerpts of the entire interview. Read it, and make your own call: GM :Tell me some of those ideas that you played with. BH: We were interested in undivided whole. How do you describe wholeness without breaking it up into pieces? Bohr said you can’t analyze any further: don’t make the division between the subject and the observing apparatus, because everything is a whole, and as soon as you break it into pieces, you’ve lost it; you’ve changed the phenomenon. I took a lot of insight from Bohr. If you read our book, we never say Bohr was wrong, whereas most other people say Copenhagen is nonsense. What we disagreed with Bohr about is that he couldn’t analyze it further. What we’ve been trying to do is analyze it further. Our idea was to say, yes, you can do it. You can talk about the individual, but it’s the qua...

Here is all the proof needed, some people i know very well keep claiming that NOTHING was found in relation to the Dwaraka of the Puranas/Mahabharata in the submerged city found off the coast of present day Dwaraka. Please check below for a few other incriminating links. Here is a nice article I found: @ http://satyameva-jayate.org/2005/08/14/a-search-for-the-historical-krishna/ A Search for the Historical Krishna Dr. N. S. Rajaram The following is a section from a long article called “A Search for the Historical Krishna” by Dr N. S. Rajaram, which precedes his upcoming book which will be of the same title. Dr N. S. Rajaram was a former engineer at NASA, a field which he subsequently left to study ancient civilisations. He has authored a number of scholarly and polemic works. He is widely respected in his field – although his conclusions are by no means universally accepted. Dr Rajaram has also invited hostility from some academics – although they tend to engage in per...

Just a note for people following my thought here: Although at certain levels science is telling us there is no free will and that free will is an illusion and the same being said by schools of thoughts on India. I think further research is necessary from me on both fronts to understand exactly what is being said. I am unclear on this topic at this point.

Considering all the recent findings I've pasted regarding what Physics is saying about the nature of reality, I recall a video I watched here in America that a missionary made mocking the followers of Sanatana Dharma, he was trying to show how pathetic their lives were who lived in Poverty and who prayed to the "false gods". In that show one particular scene where they were interviewing a guy on his way to Kasi (varanasi): Missionary to the poor guy: So why have you left everything at a young age and living in poverty are you going to varanasi? why not live a good life. The poor guy: I am going in search of God. I've left everything because this life is an illusion. Everything we yearn for is an illusion. The scene gets cut, implying how foolish, funny and disheveled these poor Indians praying to false gods are. Considering two things: From the Documentary "Happy :)" on netflix. ( http://www.thehappymovie.com/):  It is evident that happiness ...

This work is an article I copied from the following location:  The Cosmic dance “I am God.  I do not recognize the hell.  I do not recognize the three worlds of heaven, hell and earth.  I am the Lord, the Controller.  I am still the witness after everything else is dissolved.  Nobody else is God for me; nobody else controls me.  I am I-less, I am my-less. ” Sankara INTRODUCTION In this article I hope to demonstrate some parallels between modern Physics, Eastern Mysticism, and Barbour’s ideas based on Process Philosophy.  I will examine the three perspectives within the context of the dynamic interplay of energies, the emergent and convergent universe, and finally the transcendence of God. MODERN PHYSICS According to Classical Physics, Newton’s mechanical model views the world as deterministic.  All that transpires in the universe has a definite cause, giving rise to a categorical effect.  The philosophical basis of Cl...

Here is the simplest proof that the world is perceived by humans as real due to maya, as proposed by Advaita Vedanta. Double slit experiment: so an electron is a particle when you see it, but is a probability wave(exactly... An infinite spectrum of possibilities) when you don't see it. Electrons and protons and other subatomic particles with the same behavior make molecules, molecules make objects we can see with the naked eye. Well the naked eye is seeing these particles which are visible only when a conscious entity see it.... Otherwise they are a probability wave...spectrum of infinite possibilities. Simple put: what our eyes and brain perceive is an illusion. Unreal. Here is a small video about the experiment: There is a reason why Adi Sankara is called JagadGuru.
