Religion & Governance

A thought crossed my mind. Let me share with all of you.

Saintly humane persons occurred on the planet irrespective of religious backgrounds.

Similarly cruel, dominating , intolerant leaders too occurred irrespective of religious belief to which they belonged.

Then more than religion, is it the inner nature of the human, his aspirations, greed or nobility , need to dominate and control all around made them use all tools at command including religion to serve own purpose?

Even in vedic age some groups try to prevail on others to adopt their way of life of adharma, quick pleasures, stealing women from others like cows arw stolen as symbols of prized possession, discouraging satwic living, promoting darkness of ignorance, unrestricted pleasurable
Iiving habits!

So periodically a powerful ruler or leader arose from the turmoil to bring back order and peaceful life where knowledge seekers got back their rightful place.

As time passes, again the tamasic forces build up strength , and humans tend to fall back in to lazy ignorant ways growing selfish day by day.

Now what is different? Different creeds are fighting again for dominant place and practically all of them are ignorant of own so called faith.

What I feel is when people operate in darkness of ignorance instead of bright light of knowledge, only ill  feelings and evil gain dominance.

Society grievously suffers.

Solution is for those who have knowledge stop being mute and throw light of knowledge to limit the forces of ignorance gaining.

Easier said than done. The ruler makes the  difference in this matter.

In our case democracy so majority rule. Statistically knowledgeable and honest remain always few compared to those who want easy life?

So intelligent knowledgeable persons should strive to imbibe values in rulers or set in place systems where they have to perforce follow values.

Bad king leads to bad rulership. Governance has many impacts, including stopping abuse of faith for own interest.

Well, just sharing a few thoughts!

Hare Krishna!

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...
