Experience the potential of your hidden self...

By  Jhimli Mukherjee Pandey , TNN  |  Aug 30, 2012 KOLKATA: For eight years, a few  mathematics  and  Sanskrit scholars  of the  Calcutta University  have been working on a mammoth project. They have been trying to establish a tall claim that at least 5,000 basic and advanced modern mathematical concepts have their roots in Sanskrit and most of these have  Vedic  antecedents.  At the end of this painstaking research, the first kosa or dictionary of Sanskrit to English mathematical terms is ready and there are four more to follow. This central government project is being touted as the first of its kind in the world as never before have the Indian etymology of so many modern technical terms been so radically established.  The project was given to these scholars by the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, a wing of the ministry of human resources development, through the city-based Sanskrit Sahitya Parishat. The chief investi...

  Doomsday is round the corner while I am writing this. 21/12/2012, as per the Mayan calendar and various abstract prophecies, indicates the end of world. The very fact that you are reading these thoughts today proves that nothing happened. But do not be relieved, as the process of destruction of humankind had set in when division set in, when advait became dvait. During the Vedic times, when there was no division, no religion, wars were fought only for protection of dharma. Earlier even asurs followed a code of conduct in war. Now wars happen because of exploitation and hunger for power of a few and there is no code of conduct. In the Vedic times, in spite of having such an advanced weaponry system, there was no pollution, no exploitation. It is only when the concept of ‘I’ came into play that misuse/exploitation of resources, senseless killings and destruction of nature began (though it is interesting to see that no religion talks about ‘I’, violence or division....

Sanskrit is the oldest language known to man. It is considered to be the very origin of language itself; that from which all languages have arisen or evolved. Unlike popular belief, Sanskrit is not a language only of scriptures or hymns and chants chanted in rituals and ceremonies; it was used in earlier times by everyone - philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, poets and playwrights, grammarians etc. In grammar, Panini and Patanjali (authors of Ashtadhyayi and the Mahabhashya) have no equals in the world; in astronomy and mathematics the works of Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta and Bhaskaracharya opened up new frontiers for mankind, as did the works of Charak and Sushrut in medicine. In literature, the works of Kalidas (Shakuntala, Meghdoot, Malavikagnimitra, etc.), Bhavabhuti (Malti Madhav, Uttar Ramcharit, etc.) are known all over the world. Thus, Sanskrit literature is easily the richest literature in the history of mankind. Infact in 1786, when Sir William Jones, in a paper pres...

By Jagpreet Luthra She was a singer. As she practiced a particular tune, she would experience a 'trance-like' mental state and see a snake-like form. This connection between a particular tune, her mental state and the sudden appearance of a snake-like form foxed her but also prompted her to experiment. In order to test this experience, she spread out sand particles in that area and again started singing that tune. When she inspected the sand particles she actually saw that a snake-like form had come into being. She was the famous British-Welsh singer Mrs. Watts Hughes, who later went on to invent the eidophone in 1885, a device that translated the vibrations of her voice into patterns on a glycerin-coated elastic membrane. Later, a Swiss medical doctor and scientist, Hans Jenny who studied visual sound intensively, published his first volume Kymatik in 1967 and his second in 1972, the year he died. Jenny coined the word Kymatik ('cymatic' in English) from t...

You are what you desire. You take birth because you desire an experience. Depending on your desires, you take up a body; not the body you see in the mirror but what extends beyond to include the five sheaths – annamaya or physical body, pranamaya or life-force, manomaya, vigyanmaya and anandmaya. An ordinary being desires only the physical and exists at the level of the  annamaya  which in turn is controlled by the  prana . The soul stays in the body till there is  prana  in it. What we call as death, is when there is no prana left in the body and the soul leaves the body. There are many who have survived near-death experiences …  healers could revive them because there was some  prana  left in the body and the soul took shelter in that  prana . Healers then replenished the  pranic  body and restored the person back to health. But once the soul leaves the body, it cannot be brought back. The soul might leave the body...
