Please visit my Blog… I want your opinion.

According to the philosophy of the people of India prior to 700 BC, {I do not want to degarde them and call them “Hindus”. I have a strong feeling they would curse me if I do so.} everything in this universe is either one of the “Pancha Bhootas” {Five Elements} or a combination of two or more or all the Pancha Bhootas. These “Five Elements” are NOT the elements of the periodic Table. When the so called “Brahma Astra” is launched it seperates everything to it’s elementary parts. It seperates the “Pancha Bhootas”. Veda Vyasa, In the “Vana Parva”, narrates the story of Rama and Sita to console the Pandavas. He tells how Rama by using the Brahma Astra against Ravana sperated Ravana’s “Pancha Bhootas”.

The text reads…

And beholding Ravana slain by Rama of famous achievements, the celestials, with the Gandharvas and the Charanas, rejoiced exceedingly. And deprived of universal dominion by the energy of the Brahma weapon, the five elements forsook the illustrious Ravana. And were consumed by the Brahma weapon, the physical ingredients of Ravana’s body. His flesh and blood were all reduced to nothingness,–so that the ashes even could not be seen.’”

I can only hope with my whole heart that the text is not an interpolation by some Brahmin.

MAY BE WE SHOULD NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF TREATING OUR NUCLEAR BOMBS WITH THE ANCIENT “TECHNOLOGY”. I don’t know how you react to my putting it like this but sometimes Indian behaviour is like that of a young teenager who is worried about the size of his penis. That’s what I observe in Indian, “We-Know-About-It-Thousands-Of-Years-Ago-You-Know” attitude. Indians suffer from an unnecessary identity crisis.

Please read Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri’s “The Holy Science”. The book costs 45/- {Indian Rupees}. The introduction itself is mind boggling.

In my blog and also here I was quoting Kisari Mohan Ganguli’s translation.

Our greatness does not lie in our having had “Astra Vidya”. Our greatness lies in our losing Astra Vidya. {If and only if we had it in the fisrt place.}

I forgot to mention… your views are great. May be you got used to this compliment.

You assume that the nuclear bomb would look the same i.e be a mushroom cloud etc. as the modern one. I am a hindu and in the Maharbharat the astra or weapon that has a similiar effect as a nuclear bomb i.e it annilates entire civilisations and leaves the earth unable to sustain life was mentioned in the Battle of kurukhshetra. It is called the brahma astra and it was forbidden to be used for obvious reasons. I believe teh effects were described in the Maharbharat. It was said that the land after the use of the brahma astra would not be able to be livable for years after and would be barren. I do not think it was used in the maharbharata i.e teh battle of kurukhshetra itself due to its power but was used at when the battle ended by a bitter man and aimed at the womb of the woman who was carrying teh last remaining desendent of the Pandavas who were teh victors in teh battle.

Forgive some of my spelling. In any event it was so long ago and whether that knowledge was available then, it probably a good thing that it is lost now if it did exist.

Quest_for_earnest_bliss,

First you claim that you “have not read any of the vedas” and then in the very next post you claim “me and my fellow Ph.D. students completed a design of faster DSP processor entirely based on vedic maths“. Can you please elaborate, how it is possible to ‘base’ a design on ‘vedic maths’, without first going through the vedas.

Anyway, if you and your ‘fellow Ph.D students’ have indeed completed a design for ‘faster DSP processor entirely based on vedic maths’, then you can rest assured that I am St. Paul.

You have said that, “as a scientist I need a reason and my reasoning is that there is only one thing that keep you going till the very end and that my friend is FAITH“. By saying so, you have successfully blurred the line between scientific procedure and obscurantism and ensconced yourself within the realms of the latter.

I don’t know how many of you know that that The American president Mr Obama was facing real difficulty in organizing the people from his own part for the Health care Bill. While he was delivering his speech a member of opposition shouted on him and said “You are a liar.” This incidence proved to be a turning point for Mr. Obama as the members of his party forgot their difference and united they stood along side Mr Obama.
Well Mr. Twit you did a fantastic job that when you wrote the words “Vedic Nonsense”, you helped many good people to come together and make all the sense out of vedas and educating people who are facing the problem of understanding the fact that vedas are not only for old people with time to kill but it for the young one to o if they want to excel in maths. Good work.

Dear Mr critiq I really liked the way you said “And I am pretty sure, that “modern day developers of Microprocessors and FPGA / DSP systems” are not looking into vedas for their understanding of classical physics.”

As a matter of fact me and my fellow Ph.D. students completed a design of faster DSP processor entirely based on vedic maths. I dont care whether one likes to call it vedic or not. All I care is that “To achieve something we dont need to do different things we just need to do things differently”

THIS IS AMAZING! May be not many of us know that the root cause of discoveries has always been the radical notions. BOYS AND GIRLS there are far more important aspects of life than arguing about what came first the hen or the egg. VEDIC OR NOT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I know one thing for very sure that as a scientist I need a reason and my reasoning is that there is only one thing that keep you going till the very end and that my friend is FAITH. I have not read any of the vedas neither I have any collections of books to indulge myself in the fight of “Vedic Mathematics or Vedic Nonsense ?”. The reason being just above the title of the post I saw a link to “21st Dec, 2012 : The day before forever” WELL Mr. Twit is that really so important that with only few years remaining for our most precious time on earth we argue about maths originating from veds or not or we should just acknowledge the beauty of the brain who could come up with these wounder full ideas.

Although very interesting, the Oklo nuclear reactors in Gabon, Africa that you speak of are a natural phenomenon. Humans weren’t around at the time of their formation. The theories and wild speculation without evidence over human knowledge of nuclear physics millenia ago is plain absurd in the face of evidence for human evolution. They almost always stem from ethnocentric or fundamentalist desires to glorify a particular civilization or to prove the antiquity of man as being the direct product of some invisible creator.

Tyler….A dirty bomb is not capable of killing an entire city. With all due respect I’m afraid you’re a victim of media sensationalism. We few who have credible experience in the nuclear defense field refer to radiological dispersion devices (RDDs) as weapons of mass disruption. The only people likely to be killed in a RDD attack would be those killed by the blast. A caveat to this would be if fissile material were used; i.e., Plutonium 239, U235, or U233; and the first responders were stupid enough to use a wet decon setup versus a dry decon before properly identifying the isotope. However, there is modern weaponry capable of destroying large numbers of people while mostly leaving existing infrastructure intact….this is called a neutron bomb. I simply suggest you google and read about the fundamental concepts. What is allegedly described in the “The Mahabharata” is a very accurate description of a neutron bomb detonation and it’s after effects. This would have the overall effects you described in your post.

If you would like another interesting topic to research I suggest looking at the Oklo nuclear reactors discovered in Gabon, Africa in 1972. They’re estimated to be 1.7 billion years old. I would look at and carefully consider what Dr. Glen Seaborg had to say about this discovery. Dr. Seaborg is the man who discovered plutonium which in turn made Fat Man possible.
