Indian Knowledge System

 I always have a deep respect and enthusiasm for the works and knowledge we have gotten from the Vedic periods. I usually get a lot of these discussions and knowledge from my grandfather. He always insisted on the fact that Vedas are not something religious , rather , the word itself means ‘Knowledge’ and this knowledge contains everything we need  to know for the survival here , in the material world and in the spiritual world too. Since then, any story , be it from our Puranas, Upanishaths … anything, I used to find a deep value in them. It is a story when you read as a story, but it also has several interpretations and internal aspects that invlove the studies or understanding of science, astronomy, mathematics , finance ,relationships.. what not!  That’s when I started to feel to miss not having an open opportunity to learn and explore these knowledge bases ,as part of our education system.  And so recently, like a 2 days back , I got a magazine called , Yojana, ...

How Responsible are you for someone?

  Often , we find ourselves worried that someone doesn’t help us the way we wanted or expected or listen to us or if they do, they don’t understand us to our needs.Then, we may try to explain them, to help understand or give us a proper suggestion or support. Well, of these, how much do we notice that our so called worry ,as stated above, inclines more towards our self than others? Yes, it does! When you have a problem and you feel like sharing with your friend , in an expectation that he would listen to you attentively and suggest you ways to solve the problem.  While your friend hears you , he might not be able to give you an upright perfect solution. As he is the third person, and he had only heard from you and he could suggest based on his own experiences and perspectives .So, there is always a chance that the suggestion might or might not be helpful. Say, the suggestion was not satisfactory to you, and you try to explain them further and further to help them und...

Feminity and Masculanity

 I have had this sense of a feeling recently about the Feminity and Masculanity - which felt like are the other words for Energy (Shakthi) and Matter (Purusha) respectively. Just look at the properties of all those described under these words - they match right? Shakthi roopam - that refers to the ‘Ammavaru’ (Goddess) which translates to the feminine power. Purusha roopam - that refers to the ‘Ayyavaru’ (God) which translates to the masculine power. We need to dive a bit deeper in to understand more properties of these two forms , which then can be related to the Energy and the Matter. And to my understanding so far, I have got to a conclusion that Energy is the Shakthi/Feminity and Matter is the Purusha/Masculanity. Hmm..! :)

Goda Kalyanam

 Well, After I wrote the previous post on my blog - I had come across something from Vrindavan.It was the temple of Sri Ranganath ji at Vrindavan. I was reminded of something and I saw a picture which led me to the website of the temple where I got to read the history of this temple which says - “ This temple was built to fulfil one of the wishes of Sri Goda Devi, which was to spend her life at the feet of Lord Sri Krishna in the Brindavanam (Vrindavan).” I was astonished! I thought this temple was built sometime before like a few months or may be an year or two ago, but the history said it was build in the 1800’s!! After this, I heard somewhere (don’t remember where exactly) that Sri Goda Devi is the reincarnation of Sri Radha Devi. 🥹🙏 I got to witness Sri Goda Kalyanam with Sri Krishna , usually performed on the first day of Pushya masam, which falls on the day after Sankranthi.

RadhaKrishna - a new perspective

 I am sure you heard of Radha Krishna and their eternal love story. I have heard a lot of versions of the question 'Why Krishna and Radha did not get married on Earth?'  Some said, theirs was an eternal marriage and some said they were not married because they were already 'one'. Well, while I do really believe all these as a believer of Sanatani, I also have a new version that stricked my thoughts lately, which goes in the perspective of generic thoughts that are at the level of the humans, considering the aspects like mentality, compatibility, and such. Read on.  Radha ma and her lifestyle: Radha Devi was a 'Gopika'. Gopis and Gopikas are a sect of people who in general are very calm with a simple lifestyle of living close to nature, taking care of the cattle being their major daily work, their food is majorly sourced from the cattle like Milk, Ghee, and Butter. Krishna ji and his lifestyle: Krishna, though was living with Gopis, was actually born into a Kshat...

A Random Write ( Kak-Bhushundi)

 So, I came across an Indian mythological personality called ‘Kak Bhushundi’ ,who could travel in Space-time. And I am pleasantly surprised at the mentions of space-time, a 4 dimensional form of Sri Kak Bhushundi - because only a 4D form can travel in Space- time. I slowly drifted into the topics of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and the Time dilations and came up with certain understandings and definitions of my own which I thought I’ll note down here so I can come back and go through. Because, high chances of forgetting , thinking of these in such odd hours - hahaha!! It’s midnight here.Lol!!   Ok.Now, I somehow see that the gravity plays a role in the time dilation too and so, say : An object closer to the center of an object,say like Earth, where the gravitational is the highest - the time runs relatively slower than at the a distance from the center , where the gravity is lesser. So, the lesser the gravity - the faster the time … also means the greater the age. The highe...

Satya - The Truth

 I always wondered about what the word ‘Satya’ meant. If only it meant to speak the truth all the time , then why did people in the past like Harischandra ji got such experiences ? How to be trueful when it is not valued? I believe that anything in this world will have its full effect when it is ‘valued’!! And it is taken for granted?Or when it is being commented?  Let me tell you a scenario . In today’s world, we run behind many things. Our everyday life is more like a race. We get told few of these lines -  ‘ You are running out of age, Get married soon’ ‘Your friends are earning more than you, why not you?’ ‘Some random person has got nice big villa, why are you living in a small cosy home?’ ‘Oh! You got such a nice costly thing, you must be a millionaire’ ‘You look so ugly, why not get some makeup?’ ‘You used too much make up to look so beautiful, why are you faking the beauty with make up?’ Blah blah blah…. But why don’t anyone think about the standard of living does...
