Dear friends

 

I wish to report to you a site for Vedic Psychophysics.

I hope you enjoy reading.

[Guest guest]

namastE Bhadraiah-garu,

 

Just visited the site you have been authoring. That is a memorable endeavor

you have undertaken! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

 

In your article on Vedas you have written:

 

"-------

What do Vedas contain?

 

The Vedas are recorded in an ancient version of Sanskrit language as poetry

and prose. An example of Vedic poetry is,

 

This, even this was my resolve, to win a cow, to win a steed : Have I not

drunk of Soma juice? (Rg Veda X.CXIX.1) ----"

 

I believe, the ancient version of Sanskrit language, in which Vedas are

written , is called "Chanda".

 

Also:

"----------

Modern Vedic Psychophysics

 

The first effort towards a modern interpretation of Vedas was made by Mr.

Kondamudi Hanumatchastry (address in India unknown) in 1981, when he

discussed medical benefits of a meditation mentioned in the 'Prana Sukta'

chapter of Atharva Veda. Mr. Hanumatchastry's topic is outlined under Q&A

'Hamsa & Soham mantras' ----"

 

Please refer to Sri Eluripati Anamtaramayya, Retd. Principal, Sanskrit

College, Guntur. Sri Anamtarammagaru is a great scholar in Sanskrit. He has

written many well acclaimed commentaries and very well known in Andhra

Pradesh. I believe he was a colleague to Sri Kondamudi Hanumat Sastrygaru,

he would give you more information.

 

I remain yours,

Madhava

namastE mAdhav gAru

 

Thanks for the correction about Chandas. I also read in aitareya

brAhmaNa that the "ancient" sAdhyA gods are another name for chandas.

But there are various forms of chandas such gAyatri, virAj etc. I am

planning to look into that subject.

 

I have a ton of stuff to write already. Hopefully we will find

someone who lives closer to the great scholars Hanumatchastry garu

and

Anantaramayya garu. Approaching such venerable people and encouraging

them to publish, finding a market for their books etc is not easy. I

will write a mail to Sri Anantaramayya garu. Please feel free to

print and distribute my materials to any one interested.

 

Thanks to internet I have been able to publish, and now I am on some

kind of Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, looking for Vedic

scholars. I believe this is a subject one should give the prime years

of life, instead of taking up in old age. We need many thousands of

young educated students to take up this work.

 

Message boards are nice, but at some point in future please consider

recording your final conclusions on a web page, and we can all link

to each other to make a big network, and bring in more people.

 

Let us include other systems like dvaita also because afterall,

dvaita is only one step behind advaita. We can sort out our problems

when we reach that stage, Why argue now?

 

Remember, if people belonging to dvaita, sAnkhya are really serious

they must also explain the new findings from Veda such as Sevenfold

sAma according to their theology. They can't just say their theology

is just limited to what their founders like Ramanuja propounded. For

example, I am going to prove that Adi Sankara did not know certain

interpretation of certain portions of Veda, because of which we lost

1600 years or more depending on his date of birth. Let us stick to

the

original philosophies such as advaita because they can not be

changed,

but we must use them to explain other portions of Vedas instead of

just saying "Vedas allure people to desires, so we will only chat

advaita which is the easiest thing to do". I wrote to many

organizations named after many scholars and modern rishis but they

are

all busy publishing and selling their passed-away founders' works but

they dont care about new developments.

 

More later.

I love to give references, but I am not a trained academic, so I miss

out many. Please question me sharply if you need any reference or you

dont agree with something. This subject has to be developed only by

sharp and pointed discussions.

 

Please send me a mail to vaidix for a quick reply.

 

My references are mostly what you get from Ramakrishna Ashram,

chAndogyA, bRhadarNyaka, mANDUkya, aitareya and tairrirIya

upanishads.

I do not use other smaller upanishads. I also use RgVeda brAhmaNAs

like aitareya, kausItaki. I have bought many more but no time to

read.

 

The last para about copyright is incomplete.

 

"Vaidix GPL or Vaidix Copyright:"

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim

copies of this license document, but changing it is

not allowed."

 

http://homes.acmecity.com/friends/harmonica/301/copyrite.html

 

The materials can be freely copied or sold by those who respect by

Vedas. No one can change the copy right rules, but any one can change

the content of the article itsefl! That way we encourage creativity.

If you see some better idea in meditation, you can add it in the

article, or correct what I wrote, and republish as your own. I hate

to see knowledge locked up copy rights and trade marks. There are

multi-million dollar groups in search of copy rights on Vedas, but we

will win. My lead in the subject is now unbeatable. If any one can

beat me, I will surrender entire site, and handover the password!

 

Good work was done in preserving the Vedas, and teaching of

spirituality in the last 150 years. But we neglected Vedas by saying

they are mere rituals. That was just a cover up of our ignorance. It

is also a failure of not being able to apply theories like advaita,

dvaita etc to Vedas. I can not bear to see thousands of educated

students not knowing this science.

 

You are welcome to copy Vaidxi materials to any message board if that

is not offending to any one. (There are some that attack other

people's opinions about caste system, kundalini etc. It may not be

politically wise to copy them.) You may want to copy one at a time so

that people can discuss each topic thoroughly.

 

With best regards

Dear Bhadhraiah-garu,

 

namastE!

 

Why am I finding it difficult to digest your words!

 

While I respect your views, please let me make it clear to you that in this

list we hold Sri Adi Sankara with utmost respect as an authoritative

commentator on Vedas. "Shankara Vijaya" gives us a glimpse of that great

master's life. We know that he mastered all the vedas by the age of 9! And

by the age of 11 he had bewildered, even the greatest vedic intellectuals of

that age, with his power of understanding of Veda. With out his grace, I

think advaita would have been deliberately hidden below the blankets by

intellectuals. He is a visionary, a revolutionary incomparable!

 

Where there is respect --- for our Elders, for our Seers and for our Vedas

--- there the knowledge flourishes. We better seek their grace! You said,

you are going to prove that Sri Shankara did not know the interpretation of

certain portion of vedas. This is not acceptable. I don't think Sri

Shankara left out any portion from veda which could have given a chance for

him to prove more of his theory. I would say "nothing can be proven more".

You need not touch all the grains to test whether they are cooked or not.

In telugu they say: "annamaMtA uDikiMdO lEdO cooDaTAniki annamaMtA pisiki

cooDanakkarlEdu".

 

If you find some thing in Veda which is not commented upon by Sri Shankara,

then THANK HIM for leaving it to you. THANK HIM for leaving that job to you

and start writing commentary, start showing to the world which that great

master intentionally ignored so that his followers can comment!

 

Actually it is the question of our attitude. I hope you remember Sri Potana

"Bhagawata", in that book while writing the foreword Sri Potana, before

attempting to translate Bhagawata in to Telugu, says "mat purAkRUta

bhAgyameTTidO ---" He says: "How lucky I am! All those great poets have

translated Ramayana, Bharata and other great books, but left this wonderful

Bhagawata to me. *THOUGH* they are capable of doing the translation, their

intention is to *BLESS* me by offering this work. I shall bow down my head

at their feet, touching their feet I shall proclaim "THANK YOU SIRS! for

leaving it to me, SURE I SHALL NOT LET YOU DOWN!"... This is an attitude

which one has to follow while approaching the work of great Seers. Potana

Bhagawata is widely read and quoted by many folks, it has become a memorable

piece of work, only because of his humble approach towards the work. Let us

learn from them!

 

Please don't say that Sri Adi Shankara *did* not know! If I were you I

wouldn't dare say that, because it is tantamount to disrespect them...

Please forgive me if my tone was a bit harsh in saying these words... But I

respect your knowledge, how wonderful it would be if a beautiful flower also

gives out a nice fragrance! Thank you.

 

I remain yours,

Madhava

[Guest guest]

Hari Om Madhavaji:

 

Namaskar,

 

I strongly support the sentiments expressed by you

forcefully and coherently. I very much like your

final conclusive statement which is beautiful with a

nice frarance without any thorns!

 

warmest regards,

 

Ram Chandran

Madhava K. Turumella writes

[Guest guest]

Dear Turumella Madhava garu

 

I enjoyed reading your comments and reminding me about kavi Potana. I

readily accept my error.

 

Now this.

 

My thought process is entirely trained by Adi Sankara, and I can

depend on his invisible guidance at every turn of the mind. Also

according to mANDUkya commentaries, every external object is

reducible to a concept of that object in ones own mind. Now

considering this, Adi Sankara as a guru can be reduced to a concept

in

my own mind, and this concept is represented by a group of neurons in

my own mind. In that case, how can I disrespect Adi Sankara without

disrespecting a chunk of my own neurons? If do that either my logic

falters or my meditation falters or both.

 

Now please read this about failure of advaita as a useful concept in

life.

 

http://www.andrewcohen.org/out/uncond_6.html

 

The situation in India is not any different, specific events and

wording may be different. I don't even get sleep. The logic of

advaita as we know, and its jargon are prone to misuse. I like to

face

any religious establishment and become a sAkalya than to let

advaita to continue to be in such a miserable state. There will be no

change to the core philosophy, but the curriculum will change. I

don't think the "establishments" will accept this, but my efforts

will not be lacking.

 

The situation needs a dUrvAsA. There will be times when I will

continue to be rude, and that is the only way to move things.

 

Adi Sankara's exposition of Advaita was eternal, but many aspects of

his writings were tuned to his times when he used to argue with

Buddhists and other schools of thought. Adi Sankara had accomplished

a great mission in his short life; and if he had lived longer we

would

have many more volumes of his analysis on other portions of Veda.

 

Sankara did not get a chance to follow up on asparsa yoga. gauDapAda

says in his treatise, that in asparsa yoga, yogis see fear, where

there is really fearlessness. Nobody bothered about it in 1200 years.

I will explain how it can be derived from etymology. This one is only

for experts, because it is needs a lot of stamina even to attempt.

 

There are many other easy meditations that can be directly derived

from veda using advaita concepts, which can be practiced by common

people, to get all the benefits of prANAyAmAs without any complicated

knowledge of vedas and advaita. Many of them improve body's

metabolism

and increase intelligence.

 

There is also a need to combine all approaches such as advaita,

dvaita etc into one approach, not with the purpose of dissolving

them,

but to help their followers redevelop their own approaches using the

new findings of the combined approach.

 

Now tell me, if I don't challenge them at the risk of facing the

music later, will any one agree to even think of "re-developing"

their

subjects?

 

Remember what you said:

 

"…start writing commentary, start showing to the world which that

great master intentionally ignored so that his followers can

comment…"

 

Can we get the same response from others? How soon?

 

With warmest regards

Bhadraiah Mallampalli

Hi!

What Adi Shankara achieved in a very short life no one else has

duplicated. Why not first acknowledge his greatness first before trying

to "become" better than him? This approach of what is known, no matter

from what source, is not good enough because "I" have a better

intellect, is the typical mind-based scientific approach which is not

conducive to Subjective Excellence and revelations. Instead of

"becoming" better than why not complement Adi Shankara's original work,

if there is the capacity!
