Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hi, http://www.hinduism.fsnet.co.uk/namoma/life_swamiji/life_swamiji_tesla.htm I would like to draw attention of the group to a link mentioned above that I happened to come across that depicts Swami Vivekananda's ideas influencing that of Nicola Tesla regarding the conception of Supreme Cosmic Energy. The article written by Mr. Toby Grotz, President, Wireless Engineering who is an electrical engineer and has 16 years experience in the field of geophysics, aerospace and industrial research and design, expresses that how respectful are some of great minds of Modern Science of the West towards the unique findings of Vedanta, even in today's age. This article also tells us how Nicola Tesla was influenced by the Swami's ideas of the Vedanta. This equally points out the fact that there are still some great thinkers, be it West or East, who spontaneously discover the marvels of the Vedanta and assimilate the contents more than us. It is only us, who show the least or no regards to our own scriptures. We have already omitted Conception of Vedanta from the school books and thus feel proud of relieving the little minds from the clutches of 'Ancient Indian Superstitions'. I was educated in Bengal and I am pained to see the pathetic ignorance of parents and even school teachers towards Upanishads and Vedanta. In recent days, the present Cheif Minister of West Bengal retorted to the question of need of learning Sanskrit by saying "What the students will do after learning Sanskrit? Would they resort to priestcraft and start worshipping?" The tendency of us, who stayed slaves for centuries has become rebuking our own cultures and we have been proved to be good imitators.It is a fact that if you mention some quotes from Gita or Vedanta in a gathering of friends or relations, you might run a high risk of being mocked as they can say "Are you willing to become a Sadhu (Sage)?" But sometimes when we come across certain facts that The great minds of West too are bowing down their heads with reverence towards our ancient sages and their ideas, then we sit and think..."Well, it means once upon a time we were great as well?" As Nobel Loreaute Amartya Sen told once "I praise myself as fortunate for I happenned to learn Sanskrit. So now I reap the fruits of my knowing that great language and relishing the joys of that ancient literature". Satrajit Gupta Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Dear Mr S. Gupta, Pranams. Very nice representation of our society Psychi today!! Our Politicians always foresee some danger & fear if they talk good & proud about Indian culture, Values, Vedanta; so that they will be lebelled as " secular " by so called minorities!! In doing so & imitating blindly western ideas, we r just fooling ourselves and doing a great loss to our nation & new generations. Education in many parts( & Bengal) is biased and creating a false picture about our rich heritage.
