Our Generation has failed the nation!

For a nation to hold on its own with honour:


Three ingredients are needed..funds, honesty and integrity. in the reverse order.

Mere funds lacking the other two ingredients produce only black money economy, arms trade and Naxalism or maoism in tribal areas, and organised mafia gangs in urban areas, with full secret political support too.

Poor continue to live as in the Moghul period suffering both the Government, contractors and the Maoists, choosing the lesser evil, as the circumstances dictate.

Humans survive based on the intrinsic Darwin principle adopting to the environmental forces which they may like or dislike.

A few sensitive intellectuals let out hot air but cannot do much. Like slavish Jews under Egyptians dying while building pyramids , there were intellectuals then also amongst them consoling them, should we look for a Moses to lead the poor out of their plight?

Or like Rang De Basanti heros groups of youngsters have to put an end a to a few in power, only to be tagged as terrorists and shot by other honest armed forces merely at the call of duty to protect the state?

Or can we truly prepare a new generation of young leaders who are mature enough to gradually take us out of this morass and bring in the missing ingredients of honesty and integrity in to the pudding of life in India?

The last option mathematically is difficult to believe because from disorder order is impossible to create, I believe. Unless it is destroyed and a de novo restart button is pressed. Earlier days Communists did try that. I used to be an avid reader of Marxism in my student days.

There used to be a saying that under 40 every one is a communist at heart. But you age beyond, then you become capitalist.

But now , uneducated poor remain communists at heart, and the moment you are educated you become a capitalist or an exploiter. Even you may join the leadership of Maoists for self gratification of ego and power, if you are unable to first get in to a corporate office.

But to my mind it is too hard to accept defeat as a nation.

Hope is that may be there will be some magic and a group of young leaders will show us the way out.

It is with a regret that I admit my generation has thoroughly failed. Not that some of us did not try to change. But the result of failure triumphantly stares in our face.

thought provoking writeup! reminds me of shashi tharoors remark that india is not a developing country, but a once highly developed nation now in the advanced state of decay.

Just another day of Brahma we collide with another galaxy !!

Image
  Just in another day of Brahma our Galaxy collides with Andromeda : Earth continues but sky views change and Sun orbit affected !!  Image From Atlantic : reproduced .  In Hindu philosophy, a **Brahma day** (also known as a **Kalpa**) is a vast cosmic period that represents one full day in the life of Brahma, the creator god. This period is equivalent to **4.32 billion years** in human terms⁴. A Brahma day consists of **1,000 Mahayugas** (great ages), and each Mahayuga is made up of four Yugas (ages): Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga². After the completion of a Brahma day, there is an equally long Brahma night, during which the universe undergoes dissolution before the cycle of creation begins anew². This concept highlights the immense scale of time in Hindu cosmology and reflects the cycles of creation and dissolution that are central to the universe's rhythm. Is there a specific aspect of this concept you're curious about? Source: Conversat...

Are we experiencing life in a world already extinct millions of years ago?

Image
It’s not rare that my mind feels we are actually living in a world that might have been extinct millions of years ago!     As per Vishnu Sahasra Namam, part of Mahabharata authored by Sri Vedavyasa, Brahma praises his own father Sri Vishnu as Sahasra Yuga Dharane namaha . That if we take as life time for Brahama from his own birth before start of creation and own liberation annihilating the entire creation to join that realm which has no cycles of birth and death. —-ever present abode of Sri Narayana as per Brahmasutra and described in Sri Bhagavad Gita too. That is 1000x10^7x4.32 m or 4.32x 10^16 solar years.        The time scale of Sri Vishnu who is said to create and maintain this universe merely by a wish within less than a second of His time . This translates as the equivalent to 10^16 solar years is my submission. This is  followed by equal time period of yoga Nidra or entire universe transformed back in to suspended particles. So the process of...

For dummies like me, understanding Hilbert space and play of energy beams around my Atma ! : Using my Buddy Co-Pilot

Image
For dummies what is the Hilbert space and how does it help us? Hilbert space is a concept from mathematics and quantum mechanics that may sound complex, but let's break it down in a simple way: **Hilbert Space Basics:** - **Definition**: Think of it as an infinite-dimensional space, much like how we think of 3-dimensional space, but with potentially endless dimensions. - **Vectors**: In this space, you have vectors (like arrows) that can represent different states or points. - **Inner Product**: It has a special way to measure angles and distances between these vectors, called the inner product. This helps in defining concepts like orthogonality (perpendicularity) and length. **How it Helps Us:** - **Quantum Mechanics**: Hilbert spaces are fundamental in quantum mechanics. They provide the framework for describing quantum states and their evolution. - **Wave Functions**: Quantum states are represented as wave functions, which are essentially vectors in a Hilbert space. This helps i...
