Dr Robert Keith Wallace, the ex President of Maharshi International
University, Fairfield, Iowa said this when he came to India
It is
appropriate to recognise India as the home of the most profound knowledge
and the procedures fro the development of Physiology.
In his
“Neurophysiology of Enlightenment”, he remarks ” What the ancients meant by
Supreme Knowledge, Jnana, was a state of perfect order, Zero Entropy”
!
Physics is the Science of Being as Matter. Mathematics is the
Science of Being as Numbers. Chemistry is the Science of Being as
Qualities Biology is the Science of Being as Life.
But the Scientia
Prima, the First Science, Vedanta Sastra, is the Science of Being as Being, in
its pure state. And in its pure state, it is as Absolute Being !
And what
is the Absolute ? It is one immutably homogenous Infinite.
The Universe
has no center or circumference. It would have had a circumference, if it had a
center. Since the Universe has no center or circumference, and since it could
not be enclosed in any center or circumference, it would be unintelligible,
without Being, without the Absolute, as the Center and the
Circumference.
The Philosophia Prima, the First Philosophy, was the name
given by Locke to Ontology and later by Hobbes to Metaphysics !
In our
terminology, this is the First Science, the Scientia Prima, the Adi Sastra, the
Prathama Sastra, the Vedanta Sastra !
Is Politics a Science ? Yes, it is, it is the Science of the State. In India, it
is not Politics which is ruling, it is Poly Tricks, as the nation is held to
ransom by politricians !
According to Western Philosophy, it is the
seventh science.
In the Indian, it is closely related to Kaulilya’s Artha
Sastra, the 8th Science of Indian Philosophy !
These are the seven
sciences which constitute Western Philosophy.
Ontology – The Science of
Being Epistemology – The Science of Knowledge Axiology – The Science of
Value Aesthetics – The Science of Beauty Ethics – The Science of
Character Logic – The Science of the regulative principles of
Thought Politics – the Science of the State.
The divine principle ” Do
harm to none ( Ahimsa Paramo Dharma ) ” is a noble virtue indeed. But this is a
spiritual principle and cannot be brought to the mundane plane. If you implement
this principle in the state, crime and lawlessness will prevail. Machiavelli in
“The Prince” talks about two Dukes. One Duke was kind and hence lawless raised
its ugly head in his kingdom. The other one was cruel, but there was perfect
discipline in his kingdom. So Machiavelli says’ About Cruelty and Clemency –
Whether it is better to be loved or feared , to be feared is better | ! He even
went to the extent of saying that killing is a legitimate instrument of state
policy !
Aurobindo was realistic. He said Love can only win in the end,
after a titanic clash ” The Law of Vishnu ( Love ) cannot prevail, until debts
to Rudra ( war ) are paid” !

People think God is a ball of cheese and He is there to
give us cheese. He normally gives the Cross to Good and the throne to Evil.
Crooks thriving and good people suffering. We cannot say we are good people
either. Ask our enemies………….
At least Dhoni was realistic yesterday. He told his team mates
” God is not coming to save you, fight it out “. And the young Indian team
fought it out and India lifted the CT13 and Dhoni became the first captain ever
to lift three World Cups! That is manliness, which was sadly missing in the
Indian teams of yore !
Everything is enveloped by Negativity, Sarva Arambha hi doshena dhoomenagnirir Avritha, says the Lord in the
BG. For everything the negative aspect is there. There is a general charge that
Astrologer emphasise the negative aspect more than the positive ! This is not
true. I always deal with the positive aspect !

Now people are asking ( when natural calamities strike ), where is God ?
In this context, an Aurobindonian quotation comes to mind.
” We have to understand that Nature devouring everything, of Time consuming our children, of Death universal and ineluctable are all the Supreme Godhead in one of His Cosmic figures. The torment of the couch of pain and evil by which we are racked is His touch, as well as sweetness, happiness and pleasure. The discords of the world are God’s discords, and only by analysing them and accepting them can we reach at the supreme concords of His universal harmony, the summits and the thrilled vastnesses of His transcendent and Cosmic Ananda. It is only when we see with the eye of complete union that we find the calm and beautiful face of the All Blissful Godhead and the touch which tests our imperfection, the touch of the Friend and the builder of the spirit in Man ! For Truth is the foundation of spirituality and courage its soul ! “
Did not Lord Krishna say ” Kalosmi “, I am Time, the All Devourer, the All Destroyer !
Mrithyu sarva haraschaham Uthbhavasya bhavishyatham Keerthir sree vak cha nareenam
Aridra or Thiruvathira Njattuvela, the Solar
Transit of Alpha Orionis, begins today. Mrigasira, which concluded tooday, was
fraught with devastation. Mrigasira is ruled by the fiery Mars and hence the
destruction ! We pray for the victims of Kedarnath tragedy. It is said that the
astrologer is wise after the event, even though he can discern the heavenly
signs !
Now Aridra is Roudra, another fiery constellation and the
destructive aspect of the South West Monsoon can still wreak havoc.
We
are de-Anaxagorasing our prayers. May not the SWM wreak destruction and may not
the Monsoon Fury affect the overpopulated Indian subcontinent and the whole
world !
