Pranam
Q1A1 staying healthy is Karma; but action to stay healthy is
keep smiling. All day-to-day habits may differ from person to person.
Yesterday I read an article in Google where it is (latest marketing product
may come later) stated that sleeping before 10 PM and sleeping after
midnight is dangerous for the health. It may have some content. But I
differ for the obvious reasons, as among the 5 senses specie there are
different sleep pattern varieties, humans are also differentiated by their
habits from the childhood so that a man eating at 5.30 PM from a tin
brought by him HALWA looks healthier than me which I cannot do. All the
emotions are based on senses and nerves. And the entire control with the
unknown MIND which is perplexing till date even the yogis and the non-yogi
scientists. There are no hard and fast rules, but MIND SHALL BE LIKE A
MANASASROVERE LEST DEATH IS LAUGHING AROUND THE CORNER.
Q2A2 Kubera is a later version who finds a place only in Atharva Veda;
Satapataha Brahmana alone speaks on him. The versions of Kubera differs
from text to text and from religion to religion. Buddhism too mentions
about this name. He is son of Vaishrava and Grand son of Pulasthiyan and
half brother of Ravanan; son of ila; brother of Vaishravan; king of vaishva
land; so, on so forth; and Jains do personify him with artha and artha
sastra too! any way a symbol. And why would Venkatachalapathy should borrow
from Kubera that too to marry the same women in another avataram? He is
also addressed as vaishravan. Aseervadham mantra may have his name. He is
fat and short. Sanga paduma nidhis he will possess. In short KUVERA viz
ku+ vera has become Kubera, Venkatesar borrowl is a story.
Q3A3 It’s a good moral. But the other side of it shows a time-waste man
playing with the trigger. Swadharma is better once but not always at that
spot. Only a fellow who has nothing else to do keep pondering that way.
Emotions is speck of life of any specie. Controlling the emotion thro mind
building the quality of a human. Raising above the mind is a Yogi. And
exerting the mind for action only without any effect is God. So one has to
be a tool too to implement the way of life where the insect may have to be
protected or killed. If killing is swadharma protection too is. And both
are done already, and the human action is only a gesture of an acting. In
order to cross the duality, the Guna of the quality has to be adopted lest
one who is in duality might get killed too.
And GOD does not react in any manner until the action arise out of the
affected.
Q4A4 Please read today an article under Sri YM emotion Vs mechanics and
you will understand better the science thro the scientist themselves.
Q5A5 Some hasty generalisation. Why Planets? In USA I had seen In
California a place (I just forgot the name) where if you roll a ball on
that place the ball does not come down but rolls up where the stone
elevated from top to bottom; gravitation newton does not work there. Also
Black hole is not that simple as explained by you. It is Dark hole and the
dark energy acting which is negative gravitation. Because of the negative
gravitation alone time does not stop. Dumaketu is well explained in our
scriptures. Black hole is yet to be deciphered by the science.
Q6A6 *Some people call them earworms, some call them mind-pops, but
random thoughts that enter your brain for no apparent reason are actually
important, according to scientists.* Our brains can surprise us with sudden
random memories. It could be a line from a play that you were in from 6th
grade or a song from a commercial that you saw last week.
The complete unpredictability of these thoughts is a fun part of being
human; we get to still be amazed by our brains. Even when science has
explored almost all of our grey matter, they are still able to learn new
things that we are capable of.
Stray or random thoughts are what scientists call involuntary semantic
memories. These thoughts are involuntary, meaning they were not something
you were trying to think of. Semantic refers to facts or events, but the
word itself means meaning. These random thoughts are memories that come
back to you when you aren’t expecting them and they have no apparent
meaning. The most interesting part of these random thoughts is that they
might not be random after all. Scientists think that these memories are
trying to help you solve a problem.
Researchers speculate that mind pops are the result of long-term semantic
priming, with an initial exposure to a source of information ‘activating a
web of representations in the mind that stay activated until a relevant
stimulus in our environment’ triggers the semantic memory. The tenuous
relationship between some of these initial activation experiences and the
semantic memories that result from them minutes, hours, and even days later
hints at a correlation between mind-popping and creative thinking,’ an
ability to perceive connections between seemingly unrelated concepts.
Q8 A8 (कर्पास) cotton; Khadi (खाडि) is a Sanskrit word referring to
“cotton cloth”.; काटं cotton The medieval Arabs took up the art of
textiles from India, and their word quattan gave the English word cotton.
The word quattan is derived from the original Sanskrit word kantan, which
means making a thread out of a cotton ball.
Professor Sayce has given us to prove that Sanskrit must have been
the language of India at least 3000 B.C.We are told that ‘in the copy of an
old list of clothing one article is mentioned which has to be
pronounced *sindhu
in Assyro-Babylonian *and has the two *ideographs “cloth + vegetable
fibre.”* The copy of the list now extant was made for the library of
Assur-bani-pal but the original Babylonian tablet was of a much earlier
date possibly as early as the age of Khammuragas say about 3000 B.C..’ If
we trust to these facts and if as Professor Sayce suggests this *vegetable
fibre was cotton and was called sindhu by the Babylonians because it came
from the river Sindhu i.e. from India this would prove the presence of
Sanskrit-speaking Âryas in India about at least 3000 B.C. *Sûtras (Â*s*
val. *S*rauta Sûtra IX. 4) as the name of a dress made of karpâsa cotton.
The other names pi*k*u pi*k*ula and tûla are certainly post-Vedic. However
a cloth made of vegetable substances need not necessarily be cotton. It may
have been valka the bark of certain trees which was used from a very early
time in India for making cloth while in the Veda wool is the principal
material used for weaving. So thread wearing was a symbol out of cotton
pieces woven together were worn. That thread grasps the energy out of
Mantra. Its not just by wearing one would be branded as a Brahmin. Even
other castes do wear them. K R IRS 20221
