This is a speech by Sri. Claude Alvares in "India Inspires" - Claude is an environmentalist, founder of OFAI (Organic Farmers Association of India) and Other India Press (a publishing house of not so famous but important topics and authors).

Mandana misra was the best among the best of Vedic scholars at that time apart from Sri. Kumarila Bhatta. His work "Sphota Siddhi" is the proof of that. Now if he himself said that "my wife will be the judge" - then that proved 3 things: i) the high amount respect he had for his wife and her scholarship, ii). in addition, he considered his wife's scholarship to be superior to hi...

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples. They have changed their forms from being cultural and binding factors to just business centres. mostly people who are visiting the temples are doing mechanical things. how can we revive the temples as discussion forums for arts, culture, social responsibilities from being just "transactional" in nature. there are satsangas being organized in the temples, but they just follow the bhakthi movement. how can we revive usage of sanskrit, learning of vedas, and then to create a more responsible generation than ours? ideas are welcome...
