Egypt and India


Freedom carries responsibility and accountability. Democracy implying a knowledge based society, each individual sufficiently educated and can think to decide what is right and what is right, being capable of not falling into herd mentality, seem to be the minimum requirements.

The internet and electronic media seems to have created a substantial group of populations young in age and who cannot think in more than 120 character sentences, just with superficial knowledge lacking maturity have started asserting them selves, and wily old foxes seem to be able manipulate this group to subvert standard democratic processes and insisting on instant result and a kind of belligerent, uncompromising insistence on immediate compliance with what they want. What next is of no concern, This is because their thought is limited by the 120 character requirement of Tweet.

SO Egypt has gone back to Military Regime. They got out of it earlier,with much difficulty and got a constitution and an elected government. Now it is a chaotic state which only Military has to manage; the tents are getting removed and Tahir Square will be cleared ruthlessly of the 10 or 20 thousand odd people --- who do not know in to what they will be walking into.

Hardened governance and pre-planned strategic information control will now start to avoid recurrence of the same gain. The groups will not get another chance to do what they did. Remember Tia min Square story decades ago? China woke up and that is it.

Other administrations watching closely, will now gear up to see that the Jasmine does not give out any more fragrance.

It will take many more decades before another movement for democracy emphasising individual freedom emerges. But individual freedom comes with some strings attached. Irresponsible, abuse of the same finally leads to anarchy and necessarily as dictated by natural laws, order has to be restored by a military type of organised force, when the individual freedom will get denied as a punishment.

The same anarchy is being promoted in AP state and soon in Kashmir. The democratic governments with judicial and political systems very much dependent on the responsible civic behaviour of every citizen and if substantial numbers choose not to be so, then the system cannot correct itself. It causes self-destruction. Only a regime where there is no respect for individual freedom will emerge to bring order back.

It is like slapping an errant child, in this case the society, back to discipline. may be caning too is not ruled out and whipping may follow with a few even losing their lives.

Once the military tastes the power, it becomes a tiger having tasted the blood will not easily let go the unique position of power where voice of the ruled is ruthlessly muted.

Is it necessary evil of having a democratic government? Don't think so. The leaders let down their electorates and relied on bribing groups and divide them on different caste and creed and now regional basis just to hang on to power. The karma is coming back.

The day the parliament allowed the extension of constitutional extension for maintaining the reservations, even after it's expiry, laid the foundation for further encouragement of division of society in to innumerable groups who would like to have preferred privileged living, to the neglect of the poor and down trodden. The tyranny of the well to do amongst the reserved category who benefited from the privilege, not to allow their own poor and down trodden brothers from the same community to get benefit is amazing. The rich amongst them keep the benefit only for own kith and kin.

Over the Sixty years we have lost a golden opportunity to become one nation.

Those who swear by our constitution to come to power show scant respect for the same. We have no provision in criminal procedure code to recognise the violation as congnisable offence punishable by death or loss of citizenship.The freedom of speech too is a boon from the constitution but cannot be used to violate the constitution itself.

The media and the politics in our country make use of this freedom granted under the constitution to openly subvert the authority and power of such constitutionally established agencies.

What is a failed nation? Hope we are not one.

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...
