Reflections of Rajaram Bojji

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...

Dear Rajaramji, I have great appreciation for your achievements and your knowledge. I see in some of your blogs a high degree of religious conviction and messages. One of them is the link between science and religion. I have some questions on that interface between science and religion.

Excellence in any field from cleaning a toilet to cleaning persons...

I have very limited knowledge. Once I asked a wise man what is the use of moksha if it is only to avoid births but stay put neither happy nor sad and having no need to do anything, practically for what? After a few thousands of years does not one get bored of this state of existence or practical non-existence? He smiled and said that it is actually a state of adbuta ananda and also freedom to be what one wants without getting the karma phala, and actually so free that you do not have any want! Then I said , then what? Without the pain to compare what is pleasure? The pleasure without let can by itself become as unbearable as pain? Moksha once obtained, the soul is called Mukta ... actually it only means you are free from the operation of three gunas and your balance karma becomes zero. The only activity is constant awareness of the supreme force running the universe, powering the same both physically and mentally and further driving the buddhi too take actions governed by the mathemati...
