How correct is the Kerala Calendar ! Edava Pathy, South West Monsoon starts !

Edava Pathy, South West Monsoon struck Kerala at about 0730 PM. Heavy rains and winds lashed Guruvayur at that time.

The Sun entered the 14th degree of Sidereal Taurus yesterday. And it rained at night, showing the accuracy of the Kerala Calendar.

As I had lost my modem due to lightning last week, I put if off and left office at that time. Last week I lost 2 K, as lightning devastated my modem. 

Focus on Agriculture, infrastructure development !

In India, Nehru neglected Agriculture. He went in for massive defence
development and industrialisation, instead of upgrading infrastructure.

It is true that India produces about 267 million tonnes of foodgrains,
but we can produce more. It is imperative that we upgrade infrastucture – roads,
rail, airports, seaports and focus on Agriculture. More FDI is needed in Food
Processing. Tourism infrastructure should also be upgraded.

The Dialectics of Providence Theory and Chance Theory

Diogenes attributed the world to Chance. But theists differ from this and believe in the Providence Theory !


Dialectical Theory here comes and rescues us. One is the Thesis and the other the Anti Thesis ! 

Then what about Synthesis ?



Atheists believe in the Chance Theory
Theists believe in the Providence Theory.


Let us examine Mentalism, the doctrine which postulates that all this is Mind ! Isnt Vedanta Mentalism ? So again Vedanta Saastra comes as the integrator, that which integrates Chance Theory and Providence Theory !


Realty and Unreality both are Mind. All this is Mind, Maya matram idam dvaitham !


Dialectical Integralism in Indian Philosophy !



The Rishies knew about Dialectical Theory. While Yoga and Tantra represented
Theism, Charvaka and Samkhya represented Atheism.

Samkhya begins with the statement that ” God’s existence is not proved”. It
only talks about two principles, Purusha and Prakriti. Prakriti is the main
cause, Pradhanam Prakritim Prahuh ! One of the best books on Samkya is the
Samkhya Karika.

Charvaka is absolute materialism. It exhorts all to eat drink and be merry.
It is not bothered about After Life, Transmigration et al. One of the best
books on the subject is the Barhaspatya Sutras.

The Theism of Yoga and Tantra is counterbalanced by its dialectical
opposite, the Atheism of Charvaka and Samkhya.

So Indian Philosophy is Dialectical Integralism, which includes the Thesis
of Theism and the Anti Thesis of Atheism.

Both the dialectical poles are integrated in a supreme synthesis, Advaitha
Vedanta Sastra, which maintains that all this is a projection of the
Universal Mind and only the Absolute Self exists, Maya matram idam dwaitham
/ Advaitham Parmarthatha. With God or without God ( as in Buddhism ), Self
Actualisation is possible !

Transcendental Consciousness proved by Modern Scientific Research



In his PhD Thesis, Dr Robert Keith Wallace, ex President of Maharshi
International University, Fairfield, Iowa, US proved the existence of
Transcendental Consciousness. Tureeya Brahman. ( “UCLA, the Physiological
Effects of Transcendental Meditation, a Proposed Fourth Major State of
Consciousness”).

This is the scientific proof of what Yogis call the
Tureeya Brahman, the Fourth State, transcending the three relative states,
waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep.
