Learning from Vedas - Backup

Originally shared by Krishnamurthi CG India wants DD-Sanskrit ! Over 120 million first time voters (out of the 550 million total voters) have registered and voted in this election. Majority of them have clearly voted for a Modi led BJP Government with a decisive mandate. So what is so significant about this number and why it is connected to DD-Sanskrit 120 million+ first time (young) voters - what this number means - this number is far more than UK (63.7 million) population and Canada (34.8 million) population put together. Even, if one takes that a 5% of this 120 million young people wants Sanskrit to be revived by the new Government, then it means 6 million people wants Sanskrit. Even if 5% of the total voters want to revive Sanskrit, it means about 23 million people want Sanskrit. Total would be around 30 million people or 3 crore people. When 3 Crore people want something like a Sanskrit TV channel, it is only right to start one sooner. It should also be noted that the website www....

Mahabharatam and Bhagavadgita Sri. Madhusudhana Saraswati Swamiji, while writing the commentaries for Bhagavadgita wrote the Dhyana slokas (invocation hymns) - "paartaaya pratibodhitaam..." etc. Nowadays it a custom to sing these dhana slokas before the paaraayanam of Bhagavadgita - first let us see how Gita got its name ? - Bhagavataa Sri Krishnena Gitam iti Bhagavadgitam (Sung by Bhagavan Sri Krishna - thus Gitam) - then why the Feminine gender is choosen for this "Kridanta" (past participle) Sanskrit word ?... The answer is interesting !. If we say just the word "Bhagavadgita" - this shows that there is another word may be needed to complete the sentense - the missing word is "Upanishad". "Upanishad" is a feminine gender word. (In Sanskrit only words have gender and not the actual substance /things /people - because of the great principle that everything in the creation embodies the will of the Creator, and the creator is beyond Gend...

reading a book on emotional intelligence i came across a statement that upanishads mention ten kinds of intelligence but did not give a reference. can anyone point where?

The Veda and Indian culture is a short (100 pages only) and precise book for understanding the Veda. It discusses how the indian culture (effectively or ineffectively) has retained its Vedic roots along thousands of years of history. The even more interesting is the basic concepts of the umbrella-like Indian Spirituality. Dharma, the tradition of Guru-Shishya, Rishis and society, deeper secrets of Vedas and Upanishads are the main contents.

Though I am really proud about our culture, the wrong doings of our people or misinterpretation of our culture with regard to untouchability really hurts me. Its only because of such wrong practices that we were termed barbaric. We also stopped to learn from our history because of this. Uprising movements have always pressed that its lack of Vedas that untouchability is prevailing. Due to this our culture has been disregarded by the same people. Add to this the British teachings to ditch the Vedas terming it useless, the elite and learned also stopped looking towards Vedas. Dye to this wrong understandings, other religions have taken the easy road to the people. Its really disheartening to see that the religions today follow a 100meter running race where every one wants to show they have most number of followers. I have also had first hand information regarding how conversions happen here. Money is the catalyst here. People from economically backward castes ate lured to a religion by o...
