V1-THE MAYA THEORY– THE FOUNDATION OF ANCIENT HINDU PHILOSOPHY

 


By PRAGYANSHARMA POLAVARAPU (Vrs.Somanchi)

Now we give below an introduction (or a general background) to the sublime ancient Hindu philosophy-–the basis for the beautiful and highly poetic and highly moral ancient Hindu mythology —is given below . It is given not only to acquaint children with stories of the gods but also to provide introduction on Hindu philosophy to the new generations who have very hazy and half-formed knowledge of the highly moral, spiritualistic and other-worldly philosophy. The philosophy underlies almost the entire Hindu traditional literature of the last 2000 years. The  philosophy underlies too the peerless mythological works Ramayana and Mahabharata.


Beyond even this ancient Hindu philosophy lies the “ancient Vedic Aryan philosophy of soul”. It is a philosophy declaring that the great god almighty lives  inside every human body in the shape of the immortal soul .It is among  the oldest philosophies of the world and  stresses the absolute necessity of a highly moral spirituality-oriented life to ensure that the soul of a  person  finally get a permanent place on god almighty’s highest heaven.

We can also say that the conclusions/ dilemmas at the end of both philosophy and modern science —the science  of Newton and  Einstein and the science  of Electron are similar. The Space-Time theories of both science and philosophy speak of (a) thousands of billions of kilometers of endless Space, (b) thousands of billions of years of endless Time and ( c )about the endless cycle of creation of universe and destruction of universe  occurring in cycles of time measured in periods thousands of billions of years. In Hindu philosophy there is a term which well describes this situation—“Maya” or “The Grand illusion.”
