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.”

G5-MYTHOLOGY--STORY OF A WICKED KING-2

G5-MYTHOLOGY--STORY  OF A WICKED KING-2 By PragyanSharma Polavarapu Then a most wonderful thing happened . With unbearable and frightening thundering sounds the pillar broke vertically and out came a most frightening form jumping out of the pillar. It had a shining body drenching entire area in dazzling light. It had a heavy human body and a frightening angry head of a lion with wide open mouth and started roaring violently as if hungry . It searched for the frightened and shivering king and caught hold of him. It was far bigger than the dazed king who himself was of heavy build. It dragged the frightened king to the high threshold and with wild angry roars sat on the threshold, tore open the stomach of the king and started drinking the king's blood ! It was a most fearful sight! Even the gods who appeared there were too frightened to go near this angry lion form of Lord Vishnu.  The boy too was frightened but gained his composure and sang hymns to the god. The angry lion- g...

G10-THE TEMPLE AT PATHAGUTTA-2

THE   ANCIENT   ORIGINAL  LORD NARASIMHA   TEMPLE    By PragyanSharma Polavarapu   As mentioned earlier the area of Pathagutta temple is a vast stony surface formed by a series of big horizontally-lying boulders buried deep in the ground. Each boulder may perhaps be fifty meters long and only a little less wide! At some places two or three small room-size boulders are stacked one above the other by nature. Seeing the stacked boulders every person wonders how such gigantic stones were lifted at all. No humans can lift them. Simple rural people feel that it is nothing but one of god's great visible miracles. They feel that if they similarly arrange a little stack of stones one above another somewhere on the stony ground they surely would get god's grace. We can see scores of such tiny stone-stacks created with much devotion by devotees on the stony ground in isolated areas. Large numbers of people worship at pathagutta temple daily. Th...

G7-BOULDER RIDDEN HILLS-2

  BOULDER RIDDEN HILLS-2 By PragyanSharma Polavarapu A LITTLE OF GEOLOGY  There are some gigantic bald hills (not boulders but entire hills)- --Bhongir hill, Yadadri hill,Hanamkonda "Ekasila" hill (Warangal district) etc. Let us learn how the bald hills i.e. single stone dome hills of colossal size are formed. Scientists say that such hills are among the oldest hill types in the world and were created hundreds of millions of years ago. Scientists say that age of earth may be around 4500 million years i.e. 450 crore years! At that early time, the outer stone layers of earth (crust layers) were very soft like wheat flour dough but extremely hot. Scientists say that lying under this soft bending “plastic” outer stone layer --( extending for thousands of square miles in area on earth’s surface at that time)--- ,there was another extremely hard stone mass which did not soften and bend. This underlying hard stone mass pushed up the soft outer layers .This was a very slow proce...
