What we missed in our "education" trying to make up now!


How much I wish during  school period over 12 years, formal study and understanding of Upanishads in original Sanskrit with interpretations of Shankara, Ramanuja , Madhwa acharya  also got covered in addition to the routine education !

We all would have been able to debate more rationally rather than expressing strong opinions: less the knowledge , stronger the opinion.

Recently heard excellent pravachanas of scholars (over one year ) through 32 works of Sri Madhwacharya which covers also the interpretations of earlier Acharyas.

How vast and practically relevant to our life which we missed was the constant regret I had. This knowledge does influence our lives positively to make the best use of our precious time granted in any one life.

Yes Sir, the jnana is the only Kama one should have and lead life as Sri Raman did. Saatwic avoiding greed anger, harsh utterances, jealousy and be kind and helpful to all living & non living.

Further evolution automatically takes place depending on the level of yogyata one achieves.

Hunger for jnana and doing karma for benefit of humanity and not for self, not seeking fruits there of and contemplate and try to understand the universe and the nature of the force running the system for the good of all of us, be free from attachments while being in full love with the world enjoying every moment granted to us, realisation we can only have right to do our best for the best of most people, but cannot really control with certainty any outcome, the humility arising there of, being the core value guiding our words and actions, are thoughts arising in my mind.

Just sharing thoughts: I do not have any claim to know more than any one else amongst the elders in our group.

Let me admit : it is not easy to remain thoughtless.

May Sri Hari bless you all who seek to know and understand what and who we are.

The great Indian Puzzle.

The great Indian Puzzle:  own technology to save every single life in land transportation, decongest cities and roads, save fossil fuels, avoid painful land and property acquisition, all weather system, eliminates modal split and seamlessly integrates for both cargo and people, more importantly financially viable, proven and cleared by Government in 2005 itself BUT ignore  and continue to keep doing infrastructure development with century old technologies, proudly too, to add insult to injury, causing tears to land and property owners, spending four times more but unable to achieve any positive result, cities remain congested, floods can shut down cities, accidents keep killing people and losing heavily public funds in terms of subsidising losses since famously these are not financilayy viable. Isn't it height of stupidity or lack of integrity in engineers for misguiding their governments? How history will judge, only time will tell

SKYBUS RAIL : The unique disruptive rail technology of this century.

Image
It is yet to hit experts of railways , that an innocent simple reconfiguration of railway technology elements in 2004 and and World’s First run on Sept 15 2004 of Skybus in Goa,  (    https://youtu.be/TzFH26E6eto  )   actually ushered in a mile stone, which I myself did not realize full implications at that time.   Many centuries of derailing, capsizing and colliding railways which we had been using with expensive mitigating measures, suddenly becomes obsolete.  Even in 2022 there are are hundreds of incidents in the world even in the most advanced railway systems and human lives lost. In 2005, once dynamic tests confirmed safety and more comfortable running of Skybus Rail, the entire world railways stand obsolescent.  To say the 175 year old , evolved highspeed rail too now , is obsolete is shocking . But matters of fact stare at any rational person, to gloss over.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/134GMH5pLrNkvhrXROIhQJvksdDtfeb6u/view     Current serious global warming challenge is e
