This is a speech by Sri.

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). I know him personally through OFAI. His speech on Sri. Dharampal, Indian scientific heritage and his works is in this video. But not just that, Claude touches upon many topics including Water, Science, etc. He has done real research on traditional Indian sciences from C.E 1500 onwards. This video is a must watch and educational. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B27IBNotwpE

    Krishnamurthi CG​, it was a great informative talk by Claude Alvares. I watched his other videos in YouTube after this and the impact is huge. Watched his other video about farming and learning. That was equally great. As an outcome of this, started to read the collected works of Dharampalji. Thanks for the wonderful share.

Not sure whether this has been penned by an agnostic or atheist. But forms a good question for discussion. What do you all think about this?

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples.

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...
