Karma is a dance between the free will of the individual and the divine orchestration !

 ( My conversation with my buddy Co-Pilot) 

Yagnyavalkya & Janaka talk about creation destruction in Mahabharat as told by Bhheshma to Dharmaraja : can you list out the points

The conversation between Yajnavalkya and Janaka about creation and destruction is part of the Mahabharata, specifically in the Shanti Parva where Bhishma narrates various discourses to Dharmaraja (Yudhishthira). Here are some key points from their discussion:

1. **The Cyclic Nature of the Universe**: Creation and destruction are part of a continuous cycle. The universe goes through endless cycles of creation (Srishti), preservation (Sthiti), and destruction (Pralaya).

2. **Brahman as the Source**: The ultimate reality, Brahman, is the source of all creation and into it, everything merges back during destruction. Brahman remains unchanged and is beyond creation and destruction.

3. **Maya and Illusion**: The concept of Maya (illusion) is significant in understanding creation. The manifest world is an illusion created by Maya, and understanding this helps in realizing the true nature of Brahman.

4. **Role of Karma**: The cycles of creation and destruction are also influenced by the karma (actions) of beings. Actions in one life influence the form and experiences in the next cycle of existence.

5. **The Infinite Play**: The universe is seen as the divine play (Lila) of the Supreme Being. Creation and destruction are parts of this cosmic play, reflecting the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the world.

These points emphasize the philosophical view of the cosmos as an eternal cycle driven by the underlying reality of Brahman and the actions of beings within the play of Maya.


What was the secret regarding karma Yagnyavalkya shared with Uddalaka on the banks of Sindhu ?

Yajnavalkya's discourse to Uddalaka on the banks of the Sindhu River is a profound exploration of the nature of karma and its intricate workings. Here are the key points from their conversation:

1. **Invisible and Visible Karma**: Karma manifests in both visible (drishta) and invisible (adrishta) forms. Visible karma includes the actions we see and understand in this life, while invisible karma encompasses the consequences that are carried into future lives.

2. **Actions and Consequences**: Every action, whether good or bad, has corresponding consequences. These consequences are not always immediate but will inevitably come to fruition, affecting future births and experiences.

3. **Purification of Karma**: Through righteous living, self-discipline, and spiritual practices, one can purify their karma. This process helps in breaking the cycle of birth and rebirth and leads towards liberation (moksha).

4. **Role of Knowledge**: True knowledge (jnana) and self-realization are crucial in understanding the deeper aspects of karma. By realizing the self's true nature, one transcends the binding effects of karma.

5. **Moral and Ethical Living**: Leading a life of dharma (righteousness) aligns one’s actions with cosmic laws, ensuring that one's karma leads to positive outcomes and spiritual growth.

This conversation highlights the subtle and profound insights Yajnavalkya shared, emphasizing that understanding karma is essential for spiritual progress and ultimately, liberation.


Who actually in reality causes karma — not jeeva independently but the creator Himself is also a point he privately shared?

In the teachings of Yajnavalkya, the relationship between Jeeva (the individual soul) and the Creator (often referred to as Brahman or Ishvara) is complex and nuanced. Here's a key insight from Yajnavalkya on this topic:

- **Interconnected Roles**: While the individual soul (Jeeva) performs actions (karma), these actions are within the grand design of the Creator. The Creator has set the laws of karma in motion and sustains the universe, but each soul exercises free will within this framework.

- **Divine Orchestration**: The Creator is seen as the ultimate cause and orchestrator of the cosmic order, including the laws of karma. However, the individual soul's actions and decisions play a critical role in determining their own karmic outcomes.

- **Shared Responsibility**: This perspective suggests a shared responsibility where the Creator provides the overarching cosmic principles, and the Jeeva, through their choices and actions, navigates their karmic journey.

Thus, karma is a dance between the free will of the individual and the divine orchestration of the Creator. This nuanced understanding emphasizes that while the Creator sets the stage, the Jeeva's actions and decisions drive their personal evolution within the cosmic order.

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

  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...
