मन्दिर और दास-प्रथा

The Template.

Temple and the Job-culture.

The Temple-culture is the prime and the only basis that supports the Sanatana or the Sanatana Dharma.

This is the oldest and the ancientmost form of entrepreneur-ship culture.

And is outwardly the way of earning the livelihood in at the social level, the level where the wealth is created by all and everyone and everyone is as much rich  according to one's physical and bodily mental and intellectua efficiency, work and entrepreneurship.

This is The Temple Economy supported by and based on the Temple- culture, in contrast and comparison to the Western Job-culture, where either the State, the individual, a Company or some group of people is the owner of all the wealth but really no one creates it (the wealth).

The East India Company launched by the erstwhile British Empire could be a prominent and dominant example of the same.

The whole and sole purpose of launching and founding The British East India Company was to loot the hard earned wealth of Bharata. With this intention  and fulfilling this purpose, Bharata was renamed and given the name India.  This happened during all those days of the history; our memory accordingly in the expansionist British colonialism was distorted, blurred and then we started to believe :

"We The People of India, that is Bharata ... "

The Sanatana Dharma has always been supporting the freedom of the individual and the society as a whole and there was no way to "slavery" of the kind any.

The social "classes" were structured according to the tendencies and the qualities of the individual's inherent nature, and every individual, family and the whole society as well created and earned wealth in such excessive, huge quantity was affluent in such a way that proverbially the land was called  :

सोने की चिड़िया. - The Golden Bird.

The British, The French, The Portuguese, The Dutch, summarily - The West  tried to loot and maraud this Golden Bird. 

Because of so many reasons and most importantly of our very own ignorance and negligence of their evil and croocked purpose we fell victim to their intentions.

That is the history how the 

"Temple Culture"

- the entreprising, the enterpreneur culture was gradually destroyed and was replaced the "Job-culture".

The Mandir culture - the enterprise and the Sanatana Dharma scripture and practices were scorned, derided condemned and attacked vehemently by the British  Empire.

Now during all these years of history of Bharata, The British had to leave and they handed over their culture, tradition and legacy to their "Indian" avatar - the "Indian National Congress".

Time however has run a full circle and now all and we also as  Bharata  have waken up to the emerging new Reality of the World, where the Economic Models - capitalist of Adam Smith, communist of  Carl Marx and the socialist of mixed economy all have utterly and ultimately failed. All these models comprising of and based upon

the Job-culture

are all going to die their natural death soon.

The only hope for the whole humanity lies in the Entrepreneur Culture which is the prominent and essential feature of the Temple culture of the Sanatana Dharma.

Sanatana Dharma is not cult or the culture, though it can accommodate both if they are truly honest in them. Civilization on the other hand is :

The Chivalry.    

There is very often clash of cultures, and not the clash of Civilizations, as there is only one Civilization worth the name --

The Sanatana Dharma, which is the way of living in chivalry, harmony and peace for all people everywhere on the earth and at all times.

भविष्यकथन

भविष्य की चिन्ता 

--

कभी कभी मैं उत्सुकतावश यू-ट्यूब पर बड़े बड़े ज्योतिषियों की भविष्यवाणियों से संबंधित वीडियो देखता हूँ। भौगोलिक और वैश्विक घटनाओं का उनके द्वारा किया गया पूर्व आकलन प्रायः सत्य सिद्ध होता है। वैसे भारतीय ज्योतिष, वेद का उपाङ्ग होने से आकाशीय ग्रह-नक्षत्र और प्रत्येक ही स्थूल और सूक्ष्म पिण्ड में भी चेतन तत्व की विद्यमानता मानता है और मनुष्य भी ऐसा ही विशिष्ट प्राणयुक्त शरीर होने से प्रत्येक दूसरे स्थूल और सूक्ष्म पिण्ड को प्रभावित करता तथा उनसे प्रभावित भी होता है।

यह भौतिकशास्त्र के नियमों के ही अनुसार है। जैसे एक स्थूल पिण्ड दूसरे स्थूल पिण्ड पर गुरुत्वबल का प्रयोग करते हुए उसे आकर्षित करता है, वैसे ही सूक्ष्म चुम्बकीय या विद्युत कण भी परस्पर एक दूसरे को आकर्षित या विकर्षित करते हैं।

जैसे स्थूल भौतिक बल किसी स्थूल पिण्ड को सरल रेखा में रैखिक गति प्रदान करते हैं और उस पिण्ड की स्थैतिक अथवा गतिशील दशा को प्रभावित करते हैं वैसे ही एक से अधिक बल मिलकर संयुक्त होने पर या तो एक ही सदिश मात्रक (vector quantity) का रूप ले लेते हैं या केवल एक युग्म-बल के रूप में उस पिण्ड को इस तरह प्रभावित करते हैं कि वह एक सरल आवर्त गति में गतिशील रहे -

घड़ी का पिण्डलम्ब / पेन्डुलम इसका एक उदाहरण है, जो एक समतल में गतिशील रहता है। इसका दूसरा उदाहरण चक्रीय या वृत्त में होनेवाली वर्तुल गति जो पुनः एक ही समतल में होती है।यही समतल वह समतल है जिसमें तीसरे प्रकार की एक और गति देखी जाती है। जैसे कार के ड्राइविंग व्हील पर दोनों हाथों से नियंत्रण कर उसे गोलाकार दिशा में गतिशील किया जाता है। विशाल और बृहदाकार स्थूल पिण्ड अर्थात् आकाशीय ग्रहों में दो गतियाँ देखी जाती हैं - एक तो सूर्य के चारों ओर परिभ्रमण, और दूसरी अपने ही अक्ष पर घूर्णन । सूर्य भी सतत वेगपूर्वक किसी दिशा में गतिशील होते हुए भी समस्त ग्रहों के साथ एक ही समतल में जैसे जड़ा हुआ है।

वाल्मीकि रामायण में सौर मण्डल को देवलोक कहा जाता है और इसमें विद्यमान सभी ग्रह इसीलिए विशिष्ट "देवता" हैं।

यही देवलोक स्वर्गलोक है। 

भगवान् श्रीराम के रघुकुल में ही उनके एक पूर्वज राजा थे, जिनका नाम था "त्रिशंकु"। वे सशरीर स्वर्गारोहण करने की कामना करते थे।  ऋषि विश्वामित्र ने इस चुनौती को स्वीकार किया और यज्ञ के माध्यम से एक अंतरिक्षयान निर्मित किया जिसमें तीन शंकु थे। उस अंतरिक्ष-यान में बैठकर राजा जब देवलोक / स्वर्गलोक की दिशा में जा रहा था, तो देवताओं ने इस पर आपत्ति की क्योंकि उनके उस समतल में, जिसमें सभी ग्रह स्थूल रूप में गतिशील हैं, कोई भी देहधारी मनुष्य या अन्य प्राणी सशरीर प्रवेश नहीं कर सकता था। तब विश्वामित्र के कोप से डरे हुए देवताओं ने त्रिशंकु के लिए देवमण्डल के समतल से कुछ अंशों के कोण पर स्थान निर्धारित किया। हो सकता है कि खगोलविद जिसे आकाश में त्रिशंकु के नाम से जानते हैं वह ऐसा ही कोई मनुष्य-निर्मित उपग्रह या अंतरिक्ष यान हो, और निकट या सुदूर भविष्य में कभी उस पूरे लोक तक वैज्ञानिक पहुँच पाएँ। हो सकता है कि Aliens वहीं रहते हों और वहीं से हम पर दृष्टि रखते हों!

यदि हम Aliens और त्रिशंकु (उपग्रह / राजा / सभ्यता) के रहस्य का उद्घाटन कर सकें तो वाल्मीकि रामायण की सत्यता और विश्वसनीयता भी प्रमाणित हो सकती है।

मेरे किसी दूसरे ब्लॉग में मैंने वाल्मीकि रामायण के इस प्रसंग का उल्लेख करते हुए स्पष्ट किया है कि जैसे एक ही रस्सी पर कम या अधिक दूरी पर छोटे बड़े पिण्ड बांधकर रस्सी को तेजी से घुमाया जाए तो रस्सी में उत्पन्न तनाव के कारण रस्सी एक ही समतल में गतिशील होती है। इसी प्रकार सूर्य के चारों ओर घूमनेवाले सभी ग्रह एक ही समतल में स्थित हैं उनमें से प्रत्येक पर एक तो युग्मबल कार्य करता है जिससे ग्रह अपने अक्ष पर घूमते है, दूसरा युग्म-बल उस समतल में कार्य करता है जिसमें सभी ग्रह स्थित हैं और उनमें से प्रत्येक ग्रह इसी दूसरे युग्म-बल से सूर्य का चक्कर काटता है।

The Law Of Karma

The Scientific Consciousness. 

--

The core principle of Sanatana Dharma is --

THE INEVITABLE, INDENIABLE AND IRREFUTABLE  : LAW OF KARMA.

The two words;

Science and Consciousness are cognates of two different root words in Sanskrit.

Both could be seen to bear resemblance with two similar verb-roots धातु  in the Sanskrit.

From the verb-roots root -

शी - शयति - संशयति, sceptic, suspects,  and शेते, meaning asleep and शान्तः,  in peace, collected, calm, potential, 

and another verb-root - 

शक्, शंक्, शंस्  - शक्यते, शक्ति, प्रशंसयति, शंक्यते - in English : capable, of strength, praises, Science, doubts or suspects.

Again Science and Conscious, Sense and consciousness could again be accepted as closely related cognates conveying the near about and similar meaning.

Science of consciousness

Is therefore and accordingly :

यम / The Law Supreme but next and secondary to Dharma / Karma that governs the functioning of :

प्रकृति or the Nature.

धर्म and यम together are also known and called too as the  यमधर्मौ - अश्विनौ and the analogy between the two pairs is to be seen. The two Equinox -  is cognate of   अश्विनौ -- the Sanskrit word - namely the two "sons" of  The heavenly / Celestial "SUN". The Sun begot these two "sons"  from His spouse / wife named  "संज्ञा".

This is not Mythology but Sattology; -as is there in the :

स्कन्द-पुराण  / skanda purANa - ancient Sanskrit Text dealing with, explaining the beginning of the manifestation of the material aspect of the world.

संज्ञा the Sanskrit word is again made up of a prefix / उपसर्ग "सं" denoting "perfect and appropriate" while the verb-root "ज्ञा" - (वि)जानाति, प्रजानाति  denotes simple "knowing" / "perception" either through the senses of knowledge (ज्ञानेन्द्रिय) or in the form of the intellect or thought and information that could be stored in one's memory.

"संज्ञा" thus is "the consciousnesses" or the "sentience".

"Sun" is in this way, the father of the two Equinox and is also the Material Law that governs the whole material existence.

"Consciousness" - or the "संज्ञा" on the other hand governs the मन / the mind of both the entire and the whole Life as well as the  "वैयक्तिक  मन" / the individual mind also. 

As is declared in the Gita :

भूतानामस्मि चेतना।।

The direct and simple meaning is : 

I AM (THE "SELF")  as consciousness in all the sentient creatures / beings.

"Self" here is the same as Atman or the I AM. Though in the individual, it  assumes the form of "अहङ्कार"  or the "self" / ego.

धर्म, यम, and  कर्म

Are therefore the three Essential Laws that govern the whole  existence at three levels.

धर्म / स्वभाव / प्रकृति

यम / शक्ति

कर्म / कार्य

The three could be synonymous with the spiritual nature, the mental thought and the physical action.

The Law of Karma therefore applies at all the three levels - The Spiritual, The mental world of the individual and the Physical, material level.

We know in Physics it is described in the following way --

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

The Three attributes in Physics - General Properties of matter - namely the light, inertia and energy  are but gross aspects of the same attributes in the mental - in the form of characteristics (गुण) and in the spiritual as Existence consciousness and Light / Bliss.

A New Understanding.

bhUtAnAmsmi chetanA. 

भूतानामस्मि चेतना।। 

--

Since the year 2016, when I was going through the  ऋग्वेद / Rgveda, मण्डल -2, I could relate and connect myself with the ऋषि-चेतना / rShi-consciousness of  भारद्वाज ऋषि / bhAradwaja rShi, and then something happened when one day (a few weeks ago) I deeply felt that ऋषि-चेतना / rShi-consciousness is though unique and the same in all, one could relate oneself with any of those so many with different names.

Then I realized how I could relate myself and connect to also with :

बुधकौशिक ऋषि / budhakaushika rShi.

He was the one who was given and ordered by none other than भगवान शिव / Bhagavan Shiva to write down the  रामरक्षा स्तोत्रम् / rAmarakShA stotraM.

आदिष्टवान् यथा स्वप्ने रामरक्षामिमां हरः।।

तथा लिखितवान् प्रातः प्रबुद्धो बुधकौशिकः।।

As was ordered by the Ishwara Shiva to The enlightened budhakaushika, in the dream, budhakaushika wrote down the same in the next morning.

I too feel I write down many a great posts as I visit in a dream-state and then note down them in my blogs.

In a way,  I believe / think I'm related to rShi budhakaushika.

Two Unknowns!

Algorithm And Algebra.

--

जाबालि / jAbAli, 

Sent her son of about 6-7 years of age - 

सत्यकाम / satyakAma, her 6-7 year aged son to ऋषि गौतम / कौशिक / rShi Gautama / Kaushika, to learn the

ब्रह्मविद्या / brahmavidyA.

When he reached there, the ऋषि / rShi asked him his name. He said :

सत्यकाम / satyakAma.

He was also known as 

सत्यकाम जाबालि / satyakAma jAbAli, because his mother's name was जाबालि / jAbAli though no one knew who was his father.

So the ऋषि / rShi asked him his father's name. As सत्यकाम / Satyakama didn't know what was his father's name, the ऋषि / rShi sent him back to ask this to his mother. When he asked this to his mother जाबालि / JAbAli, she said to him O Son! Before your birth I used to serve in many a houses as a housemaid and had physical relationship with many of the men. So I can't say exactly who of them might be your father. 

सत्यकाम / Satyakama went back to the ऋषि / rShi and told him whatever his mother had told him. 

The ऋषि / rShi said to him :

You speak सत्य / Truth without fear or hesitation, this means you qualify as a ब्राह्मण / brAhmin because you possess this inherent tendency of speaking the truth without fear or hesitation.

Thereafter the ऋषि / rShi taught him  संस्कृत भाषा / Sanskrit language and Mathematics.

He taught him the numerals and the four basic mathematical operations, namely - the addition, subtraction, multiplication and the division of the quantities of the similar and the different kinds.

He taught him how to count the similar quantities -the simple arithmatic plus and minus of them.

Then he told him the basic flaw of the Arithmatics.

Binary mathematical operations like the addition, subtraction could be performed only upon the similar quantities.

For example 3 mangoes and 4 bananas could be added in two ways :

As the numerals / numbers, which are similar in a way giving the result -

3 + 4 = 7, which is again a numeral / number.

But the same operations could not be so  performed upon the objects of the kind of the different qualities.

In that case 3 + 4 = 2.

The disciple was perplexed.

Find out if it's true or false! 

The disciple contemplated for some time and said  :

O Revered Master! 

It's true. Because the mango and banana if viewed as numbers sum up to 7, but if counted in terms of the qualities they're two different kind of fruits. Add up to 2.

Then the  ऋषि / rShi - the Master took the next lesson - about the known and the unknown quantities. 

He gave him a simple exercise to find out the unknown quantity from the given information  (दत्त / data) -

He used again the same algorithm as in the earlier examples. 

So You know 3 + 4 = 7.

Now let us consider :

A + B = 7,

Where A and B are unknown, simple and natural integers and we have to find out what values A and B might have so as to satisfy the condition stated above.

The disciple thought for a few seconds and said :

O Master! We could find out several of them for example :

1 + 6 = 7, 2+ 5 =7, 3 + 4 = 7, 4 + 3 = 7,

5 + 2 = 7, and finally  : 6 + 1 = 7.

But again these though appear different, they are only repetitions.

They are 3 pairs only.

"O. K." - The master exclaimed.

Suppose now we take any one of them, say  :

1+ u = 7,

where u stands for unknown, what value of u might satisfy the above condition? Obviously this will be 6.

But how you could possibly express this in a mathematical way?

"Well", 

O Revered Master!

Replied the disciple.

Let us proceed as follows :

1 + u = 7

=>  1 + u - 7 = 0.

=> - 1 - u + 7 = 0.

=> - u + 7 - 1 = 0.

=> -u + 6 = 0.

=> - u = - 6

Or,  u = 6.

Well done my child! 

The teaching is :

An unknown quantity could be made known by simple logic. Does this mean all known is contained in knowledge?

Could we possibly bring the unknown in the field of knowledge?

However there is a way :

अक्षरात्सञ्जायते कालः कालाद्व्यापकः उच्यते।।

व्यापकः हि भगवान्  रुद्रो भोगायमानो ।।

यदा शेते रुद्रो संहरति प्रजाः।। 

This manifestation of रुद्र  / Rudra is the world appearing to us while we wake up in His awakened state.

In order to know what  रुद्र /Rudra is in  His sleep we need to know what we're during our own sleep state. That also includes the dream state where we are though not in the world of the sensory perceptions, still we feel and experience such a state within our own heart and mind.

रुद्र  is self and Self as well.

He is the soul, spirit and the Supreme.

But one could never know Him as other than oneself.

The two unknowns are the self and the Self as long as one hasn't realized and has not known the Self.

The self is again number "one" as the "oneself", but as soon one is realized, knows the "Self " and also knows that the चेतना / consciousness is the only common factor or element in the two.

भूतानामस्मि चेतना।। 

At a time You can become only the self or only the Self .

That is : 

परमार्थ / The Reality Non-dual.

इति पूर्वभूमिका।। 

Conclusion

In an equation in two unknowns, both are interdependent variables so and as long as one is not eliminated.

For example, as in the equation :

X + Y = C

Where X and Y are the two unknowns, Apparently the two variables. 

Analogically, X Is The Christ (not the Jesus) and Y is YHVH.

- Of  The Abrahmic Religions.

Again, here these two, namely the Catholic - The Church of the Vatican and The Church of England only.

Unfortunately, None of these above two have solved the equation.

(सत्यकाम) जाबाल ऋषि / (satyakAma) JAbAL rShi alias /  Elias The Angel Gabriel would tell their  

प्रविद्  / The Prophets 

The Spiritual Truth  in the future  forecoming.

"इल आस्" एको चक्रवर्ती महापराक्रमी सम्राट एकस्मिन् काले इति भगवान् श्रीरामचन्द्र भ्रातरं लक्ष्मणं कथितवान् 

यथा सर्ग 87, उत्तरकाण्डे - श्री वाल्मीकि रामायणे निगदितम्।।

ओमः नाम यस्य स एको कश्चित् ग्रीको रचितवान् एको ग्रन्थो - Iliad ।।

ओमः in the Greek became Homar, a cognate of ओमः।।

।।इति फलश्रुतिः।।

The Democracy.

What is Democracy?

The word Democracy has its origin in Dominance, Domination, Dominant, the Dominated and Demography.

Even more, we could trace out how the Sanskrit verb-root  दम दम्यते दमयति दमित  gives rise to this.

इन्द्रियों का दमन करना और मन का शमन किया जाना ही योग साधना के मुख्य दो सोपान हैं। मन वृत्ति है और इन्द्रियाँ विषय और विषयी के बीच का माध्यम। विषय बदलते रहते हैं जबकि विषयी स्थिर प्रतीत होता है। यह शायद विचित्र किन्तु सत्य भी है कि विषयी ही तादात्म्य के रूप में एक और अनेक की तरह भी देखा जा सकता है। विषयों से रहित चित्त ही स्वभाव है। 

In the physical body, five fundamental elements namely the earth, water, fire, air and ether dominate the body and in turn are also dominated by the body too. 

In this way there is interaction between the two which is pure democracy when there is no conflict nor any clash of the interests.

The relation between the senses and the physical body is again another level of the same democracy where neither the senses nor the physical body dominate upon one another. For example - when there is hunger and tiredness, whichever of the two is stronger, would dominate. If you are less tired and more hungry, would go for eating food. On the other hand, if you are more tired but not as much hungry, you may go to sleep first and then have food later on when, you have rested for a while and the hunger overtakes you. 

The democracy is again there at the level of body and mind when the body and the mind may have different, and even the  opposite needs at the same moment.

You need to go for work but the mind is not ready and there is clash between the two. Out of whatever compulsions there are, you have to decide and obey any one of the two.

In the case when the two are in natural democracy (say harmony), and neither dominates the other, there is peace and happiness. 

Again there is Thought / memory and the intellect (the faculty of decision-making). And the interaction between the two may cause clash of the dominance. Then this harmony is disturbed and so one comes across the conflict.

Still there is a deeper substratum or the simple spontaneous consciousness and one is just attentive enough, knows what is going on in the body, senses, and in the thoughts, feelings, how and what are the responses of memory to all this activity that is taking place at so many levels in the same moment.

One could however also have an idea of  "I" and "my/mine" associated with all this mental-physical activity and again one could be aware of the states of the mind whether it's waking, dreaming or just emptiness, silence only in this deep dreamless peaceful state.

It's the very state of the mind when the attention is focused upon any of these three states and there is also awareness of being (however without the sense of - I and / or me) which is called the "fourth state" or the turIya / तुरीयावस्था. 

Again, this state "turIya" is a "state" if and whenever there is the sense of I / me associated with it. 

This is (called ) the "identification" of the mind with the self.

Identity is ever so unchanging while the identification keeps constantly shifting from one to another object of perception. In every experience, arises a thought "I experience" and this is at once accepted as "I'm experiencing". Identification in this way is what though at one hand 'I', while in the next moment the same "I" appears to have assumed another form.

In the same way the "knower" may take the form of "knowledge" yet it's purely the "knowing" only. "knowing" us never the "identification".

With or without this identification, there may be a spontaneous democracy, where the body, mind and the spirit all happily rejoice in perfect bliss. This is the nature / Prakriti. 

The mind is manifest Prakriti, just as the body is the manifest mind. Likewise, the self / Self is the manifest mind, the mind is the un-manifest self / Self as well. 

At the outer level - in the society too we need this democracy at so many levels.
