Indian Knowledge System

By -

 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, a Govt publication, which has an article that I got to read about the Indian Knowledge System, which mentioned, that Indian Education System has now included the Indian Knowledge System, which comprises of every aspect of knowledge that comes from our Vedic periods , in different streams like Arts, Culture, Science, Astronomy, Mathematics, Finance, Politics, Philosophy, Health and Wellness and so forth.


This somehow excited me. I still do not know how exactly it’s implemented, but I am just happy and proud and excited about this start. I just feel that , if this could happen consistently, we will all get an overview of knowledge from our own ancient times , which are currently just felt like mere stories rather than a knowledge base.


If you know about IKS, comment here. Would like to learn more . Thanks

  We are all very busy in our lives , by that we mostly live with computers today.From waking you up in the morning to getting you to the office and work, making you busy to making you relax ,making you go nuts with loads of work to making you feel excited playing games - it s all that a computer that’s doing this for you.But in different forms like - To work , you may need a laptop but to set up an alarm to wake you up , your smart phone can do it. To play games, you may need a high end laptop/tabs that supports graphics so you feel real and excited to play while to relax listening to music, you can still use your smart assistants like Alexa,Google Home or a Home Pod! Feeling very tired and sulking? Just ask your assistant to switch on your AC and switch on your TV .Get your works done while you sit and relax! How cool!! Now, while you realise and awe at  how much your smart devices are helping you,  Did you also note a point that all of these are still the computers but...

Feminity and Masculanity

By -
 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..! :)

Karna and Duryodhana

By -
  What’s the difference between them? This is something that I felt while watching the Indian Epic , Mahabharatham . Everyone knows Karna has been very good in his deeds and he is well  known as “Daana Veera Sura Karna” . And similarly everyone knows what kind of a greedy person Duryodhana is ,and how blind has he become towards his acts with greed for power and property. Having known this difference - why is Karna taken to face the same bad hits as Duryodhana even though Karna is no where close to Duryodhana in any form?Here is the answer. Karna never has been greedy of anything .All that he wished was that a person must be respected for his skills . Karna being a son of a charioteer (though actually born as a Kshatriya, no one was aware of this except Kunti devi and he was always treated the son of a charioteer until the time this truth about his birth got revealed ) who belongs to the Shudra varna. When his thoughts were matched by Duryodhana’s offer to let his skills be sh...
