An Appeal Respected
Reader, I thank you
for your interest in this web site. This
Selection is about the ancient Indian discovery of Advaita
that was greater than the Indian discoveries on which modern
science and technology is based to a substantial extent. Advaita is the oneness of the
reality of the creation and of human beings with the reality of the
Creator in His substance, nature, capacity and power. The ancient
Indian science for receiving from God a mind empowered to its
limitlessness is a corollary of Advaita.
Tulsidas is teaching us this science
in his Ramayan. The principle of Advaita
and its science is available in all religions. In recent times, Mahatma
Gandhi, Maulana Abdul Kalam
Azad, Khan Abdul Gaffar
Khan, the frontier Gandhi and a few others received such an empowered
mind to prove the truth of Advaita
and the science both for all. The masses of all religions
(eight in the end) lived by the universal and practical of the Advaitic tradition from Vedic
times in the subcontinent of India. It strengthened their faith
in the one single spirituality possible and so is in all religions.
Living strictly in the spirituality oftheir respective religions masses
of all religions received an empowered mind. This one spirituality in the
masses and empowered mind made the
subcontinent a
world leader in prosperity from Vedic times till the British
interruption. The British
educational system destroyed the last shred of faith in this empowering
and therefore surviving rich Indian heritage of Advaita in the minds of the
educated. This ignorance
weakened the minds of all political leaders with the abovementioned
three exceptions on the eve of independence. It made their minds
a-vivaykee, that is, deprived them of
their capacity to see realities. This a-vivaykee mind broke the country.
And, by
article 28(1) that prohibits the State from teaching any religion this mind thrust a
godless Constitution on the most spiritual country
in the world that gave birth to four religions and nourished followers
of eight in creating and sharing prosperity. This ignorance in the
minds of leaders of society facilitated Arising
from Tulsidas' teachings, this Selection
presents a solution free from politics for stopping the rot and for
early union of minds, for which our President Abdul Kalam appeals to us. The solution will rapidly
replace educated but a-vivaykee disastrous
mind by correctly educated, vivaykee,
ennobling and empowered mind. Annual generations of
children with knowledger of science of empowering mind will restore
amity, will create world leadership in prosperity that all
enjoyed for twelve centuries and earlier by sharing with all, and will
ensure scientific and
technological advancement. Please
oblige me, have a look at reviews on this
Selection and inform your near ones about it. Please
e-mail to me doubts and suggestions to make this web site a forum for
constructive exchange of thought and experience. Let us make Dharma,
religion, their philosophy and politics and our living, topics for
informed conversation in polite society for personal and society's
benefit. The wise masses benefited daily from Tulsikrita
Ramayan to make it an increasingly
endeared scripture for five centuries till today. Let our conversation
become a seminar of wisdom for our advancement by a path that avails of
the most precious gift of Vedic rishis in Advaita and its science for
receiving an empowered mind. In response
