The Hindus : Descendants of Sanatan Dharma Part 1


The Sanatana dharma traces its existance back to some 10 thousands years back. There is an old saying that when people in the west were busy in making utensils out of human bones the people in India were writing Vedas. We have not only invented the number system but been using it efficiently for astronomy.

The word Hindu which has been for long seen as a religious identity of a group of people is in actually the geographical identity of the people living side the great Himalayas and the Indu sagar(ocean). So if we follow that up then every person living in India be him a christian or Muslim or follower of any other religion is actually a Hindu. But with time the word "Hindu" had became the identity of the followers of "Sanatan Dharma".

"Sanatana" is a Sanskrit word that denotes that which is Anadi (beginningless), Anantha (endless) and does not cease to be, that which is eternal and everlasting. Dharma is from dhri, meaning to hold together, to sustain. Sanatana Dharma represents much more than just a religion; rather, it provides its followers with an entire worldview, way of life and with a coherent and rational view of reality.

The science studies in India was so much advance that it could be understood by some simple facts like, in Varaha Avatar lord Vishnu takes the form of Boar and took the earth out of water, and the earth shown is round. BIG DEAL. It takes the Europeans the Apolo images to beleave the earth is really round and we did that discovery 1000's of years ago. Even Geography is called  भूगोल (गोल meaning round). 


Lets come to metallurgy, India held sole information how to  remove Zinc from Zinc ore for 4000 years. From the ore Zinc becomes liquid at 997 deg Celcius but the same Zinc become gas 1000 deg Celcius. Only Indians were having the knowledge to get Zinc out of Zinc ore which is is a very hard process. Only to be first stolen by Chinese in 16th century and then the British. (Fasts can be checked in wikipedia too)


Well all thanks to the 800 years of slavery and not to forgot the role of Britishers who just not only enslaved us in our own land but also destroyed our thousands years of Research work. The Amount of the Knowledge this country had was phenominal and what was more phenominal was that we have these knowledge 5 to 10 thousands years back. When Europe was still using bow and arrow to kill a dear our people were busy in distilling Zinc.

It is a  long thing to discuss which I will further continue in Part 2.

Letter To Ananya 2

Dear Ananya, How are you ? See i am here again to share with you some more things. Some things that touch me deep inside, something which scratches my heart deep. Ok let me first ask you a Question, shall I ? Ok, have you ever thought what would happen after your sole existence from the world vanishes ? Well its a very interesting topic that i want we to discuss today. Well death is very interesting subject of my concern, because i really don't understand what it actually is. I mean to say..., (Ananya don't stop smiling this is just a glimpse to nothing serious) OK lets examine a scenario, a group of humans going in a bus singing dancing and suddenly bus fell into a deep 200 ft ridge or something like that and suddenly they all die. Just a matter of second and the ever cheerful human body is left but with no soul, no movement no sound nothing just lying peacefully. What worst is that their families crying. If we are certain that someone will die then whats the point i...

कृष्ण की चेतावनी / Krishna ki Chetawani

After returning from their exile the Pandavas demand their Kingdom back. However when Duryodhan refuses to give them their rightful share a war becomes inevitable. To prevent the war which would lead to countless deaths of the innocents Shri Krishna offers to go to Hastinapur to try & reason with the King & his son Duryodhan. The scene that unfolds in the court room of King Dhritarashtra on that day is what is described here by the poet.                                   वर्षों तक वन में घूम-घूम,                                   बाधा-विघ्नों को चूम-चूम,                                   सह धूप-घाम, पानी-पत्थर,                               ...
