The Vedic contribution to one of the central debates in Western philosophy. Introduction Sam Surya goes to his city’s orphanage one day and makes a large donation. Elsewhere in town, Andy Andhakara robs a bank. What led these two to make such drastically different choices? Was it their own volition, or the force of [...] Darwin’s dark legacy Introduction This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, and Nov. 24 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species, the landmark work in which Darwin laid forth his theory of natural selection. Althought this theory is being seriously challenged in all academic circles. Its widespread popularity [...] Sky Rocketing Food Prices - Why? Sky Rocketing Food Prices Introduction High Food Prices – A phenomenon that impacts our everyday lives significantly, by eating away into our monthly budgets. We frequently get a taste of this, when we have our regular squabbles with the neighborhood vegetable vendor over the prices, or when we visit the grocery store. Now for some number crunching – [...] Bio Tech or Bio Terror Introduction On October 14, the Indian Government’s Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) gave a green signal for the first commercial release of a genetically modified food crop (BT eggplant, brinjal), despite widespread disapproval from citizens, NGOs, farmer organizations and scientists.

Infrastructure of that magnitude never ceases to amaze us. The tall buildings, monuments (such as statue of liberty) the well planned roads and the underground railway all point to [...] Selected Comments Comments on Articles Comment on Big Bang or Big Bluff by giridharagopaladas The skin pores of Maha Vishnu cannot be compared with the Big Bang's Singular Point. The nature of Maha Vishnu is Smaller than the smallest and Bigger than the biggest and so the pores of Maha Vishnu also hold similar qualities. The chemical structure of the sweat will not form after coming out of our body and so the structure of universe. The expansion of universe mentioned in scriptures is different from what you have understood. Comment on Big Bang or Big Bluff by giridharagopaladas There's long way to go after admitting the presence of Creator. Suppose, a student is doing research on a tree, admitting that the tree has a root will not stop his research but rather it will help him to do the research in a proper manner. If the student didn't admit that the tree has a root, he may still do most wonderful and glorious research but in vein. For such a student who didn't admit the presence of root to the tree, has to dig the earth to find out whether the tree has root or not. Similarly we should start looking with in ourselves to find the Creator, the Supreme Personality of GodHead Krishna. Comment on Lessons from Recession by azad hassan thanks.really it was a wonderful article. we are after money all the time and work so hard.still we are not happy.we should learn to be saisfied with what we have. Comment on Vegetarianism and Cow Protection by administrator That's a valid question indeed the answer is in your question itself. The calf has the first right for the cow's milk and whatever is remaining can be used for human consumption. And un-utilized milk decays and affects the health of the cow. We do not encourage farming cows just for its milk. We promote the idea of maintaining cows in one's own backyard and treat them as one's own family members. We only recommend using the surplus milk for one's own needs and if excess can be sold to the market. Comment on The scourge of consumptive culture by Girish M Divorce rates and broken marriages have increased because people have " alternative choices " . Consumerism in relationships have made people immature emotionally , handicapped in qualities like patience, forgiveness and accommodation resulting in " quick " and even multiple replacement of life partners. Consumerism is also making people of East blind to their own glorious past of wisdom and values. Comment on Big Bang or Big Bluff by Girish M The Scientists may well be aware of the limitations of the Big Bang theory. However, admitting the " creator " at once puts an end to all their scientific quests. Once they admit creator is present, their research loses value. I guess this is what propells scientists to adhrere to theories which exclude " Creator " - not because they offer substantial reason but because they make the scene vague and all the more researchful ! According to Vedas, the universes are emanating from Maha Vishnu's skin pores. Could it be possible that " Big Bang " or " Singular Point " be the tiny universe bubbles coming out from Maha Vishnu's skin pores and the moment they " come out " is the point of Bang and they just continue to expand ? Does a singular point come out from Vishnu's body or full fledged universe ? I have heard the universe actually expands once it comes from the body of Vishnu.
