Yog, communism, capitalism, socialism

Most often people want to know why should they choose yog over gymnasium, weight lifting etc., since they give visible results (abs, biceps, triceps) and yogic bodies are not usually that sexy.
Why yoga? why not something else?. Answer is simple. It depends on what you want to achieve.
Communism and socialism practice a certain philosophy where as per them

  • weakest link in the chain defines the strength of the chain,
  • slowest person defines the pace of progress.

Capitalism on the other hand unchains all and let them move in their own pace, those who are slow will be forced to catch up with those who are moving fast. Nobody will be held back. In any current society, system no system is 100% adheres to one way of life (communism, socialism, capitalism) but it is a mixture of 3 in different proportions. In yog however it is pure communism.
You have
Container (Physical body which you can see easily)
Contained (prana or life which you can't see easily).
both move at the same pace and in parallel to each other. In equilibrium with each other. So when you do yog it is your container and contained becoming healthier in equilibrium with each other.
Gymnasium on the other hand concentrates only or mainly on container and the contained is left to catch up with the container.
Spirituality on the other hand concentrates only or mainly on contained and the container is left to catch up with the container.

I would If I could 10: Hindu temple wealth management

Advantages

  1. The economic and social welfare of the people of non native faiths in bharath will be directly proportinal and dependent on the followers of native faiths (shaiva, vaishnava, sikh, jain, budhism, lingayath).
  2. Permanent and probably a biggest solution to any kind of past and future enmity between people of native and non native faiths.
  3. Population control.

Process

  1. All religious places native faiths of bharat in bharath will come under an independent body which gives a % of what income generated by the dharmic place to it's maintenance, religious activities etc., It will of course never should be less than 1/5th or 1/3rd of its annual income.
  2. No religious places can own any land beyond it's current operation. All such land should and will be auctioned and money will go to the temple as part of it's annual income. ex:- land donated to temple.
  3. All members, employees of this independent body should meet minimum requirements.
    1. They should be at least 3rd generation of followers of a native faith. (Ex: grand parents, parents and they are either hindu, jain or sikh etc.,)
    2. They should know 5 languages.
      1. sanskrit (fluency mandatory)
      2. any non native language (fluency mandatory)
      3. any 3 native languages.
  4. All income other than what has been allocated will go to the central fund.
  5. Central fund will be like a savings only account and only the interest generated from it shall be used for the following purposes
    1. Scholarships to 3rd generation girls of non native faith for those pursuing academics in STEM.
    2. The remaining will be spent on building, running, maintaining gurukuls.
  6. The core committee will contain 7 (board of directors) who will guide 21 (regional heads) other members who will look over the affairs at each region of bharath.
  7. Only people of native faith will be employed directly and indirectly. This applies to individual temples, those who supply materials to it, those who work for or at it.

I would If I could 9: AI to protect children, women and Small business owners

Advantages

  1. Protection of children against predators
  2. Minimize robbery, theft of small and medium establishments

Process

  1. Centralized database of those with a history of violence against women and children will be linked to cameras with facial recognition at schools pointing outwards and the head of security of school or institution (principal, headmaster or security staff head) will get an alert.
  2. Centralized database of those with who are convicted thieves and robbers will be offered to get it linked with surveillance cameras of shops and malls and the owner will receive an alert.
This will not only protect abductions, harassment, kidnapping of women and children but also will offer great security and peace of mind to business owners and parents.

Is unity possible with division?

I often see, hear and learn about people trying to end
borders,
racism,
prejudice,
sexism etc., but I have realized that their goal or vision is too small. The biggest so far I have seen is end of racism. Why do I see it as the biggest? because some assume that addressing a race is the biggest denominator and you can address most number of people. This however leads to segregation and those who produce within themselves degenerate genetically, culturally and in so many other ways. I see religion as the biggest, safest and the right way of unifying people.We already know that fights over religion have cost a lot of lives and historically it might be the 2nd biggest killer after lust for power. So how can we unit people based on religion and still not cause problem?.
Most might think that I am talking about hindus vs muslims vs jews, christians vs budhist etc., which is a big no. We want to unite people who aren't most likely get along and also at the same time give them a pressing reason to.
I suggest abrahamics vs non abrahamics. Today almost all religions can be categorized as abrahamics (jews, muslim, christians, amish etc.,) and non abrahamics (hindus, budhist, sikh, jain, etc.,). It doesnt have to be a way but it can be a cold war where each is competing respectfully for the betterment of the society. This is why I think that in order for us to end racism, borders (may be in near future) and other dividing factors which divide people into multiple small pieces, we can unite all in just 2 groups, 2 pieces which is better than everyone trying to overtake others violently. It is a thought. Just making a note of it here.

Caste system, Dalits and the death of the knowledge tree

There use to be a generation of skilled leather workers who passed on their skills from their blood line. If today one spends lets say 20 years in just programming C, C++ and other programming language then you can certainly conclude with great certainty that he is an expert. Now imagine I pass my skills to my children and their children and it continues in my family for millenia then my offspring in future who have continued this legacy of passing down their forefather's skills to their children will be the best programmers in the world (assuming that computer programming is still a thing) because
What I acquired in 20 years, I will take atleast less than half of that time to transfer my skills to my children. What they acquire in their lifetime they will be able to transfer that knowledge to their children within a decade or less. Since the knowledge transfer is exponential here the resulting family line will be one of the if not the most expert in programming anything.
There are only certain skill which will last through out the ages like
farming
leather work
wood work
metal work
sculptures and construction
and many softskills like literacy, mathematics, particular fields of science.
example 2:
Doctors children become doctors and this continues for may be for 100 generations. The resulting doctors will be the experts at the chosen field of medicine since the skills get passed on quickly and much efficiently.
This was the hindu caste system. A systematic way of ensuring the passing down of skills and thus exponential improvement of skill sets, expertise and knowledge about a chosen field.
It was social norm to follow their forefathers chosen profession and be better at it and it was discouraged to divert from their forefather's profession since it will disturb the transfer, preservation and improvement of knowledge and skills of that profession.
There were 4 varnas
Scholar (brahmin) - one whose life will be in the pursuit of knowledge
Warrior (xatriya) - one whose life is of offering protection and war if necessary
Trader (vyshya) - One whose life is involved mainly in trading.
Labor (Shudra) - One who is skilled in a (family) profession.
All castes would have fallen under one of these. A barber, a carpenter, a metalsmith were all shudras. When abrahamics invaded india they assassinated the best of each varnas (class) because they needed to weaken the society. That is why you see most of the great art, sculptures, metal works like never rusting iron pillars, mathematics and more were all from an era of pre abrahamic invasion.
They made the most skilled labor class leave their profession by telling them that it is an oppression that they have to do the same kind of work that their forefathers did and today those professions and industries are worth the highest in terms of profit and money where as those who would have reaped these benefits are trying to enter an office, work at a desk and do a mediocre job.
Abrahamics pushed away the hindu family trees (in the name of oppression) who were the most skilled in leather works. Now the entire meat and leather industry worth crores is owned abrahamics.
Abrahamics pushed away the hindu family trees (in the name of oppression) who were the most skilled in grooming profession (barber, spa, salon). That profession is now worth crores and it is dominated by abrahamics.
Abrahamics pushed away the hindu family trees (in the name of oppression) who were the most skilled in metal works. That profession is now worth crores and it is dominated by abrahamics.
The same thing is true with many professions and the soon it will be farming.
As per the dharmic circle of life, the wealth, health or any kind of prosperity moves in a circle and it spans over generations. Today the shudra class is the most economically stable class of society and traders (industrialists, entrepreneurs etc.,) are the wealthiest.
I am certainly not one of those who promotes an enforced following of family profession but I do certainly hope that people follow their family profession and improve upon it, pass on that knowledge and skills to those who come after them.
Today anyone can choose any profession and most spend most of their life time to find what is really good for them or what they are really good at and even if they do they might not love what they do so most are always in search of something to do which they love than loving or at least learn to love what they do and be the best at it.
No I is greater than all.

Fasting in Hinduism

So today intermittent fasting is a thing to improve your health and to keep your human growth hormones up. This however has been implemented in Hindu society as part of religion since we have always had religion and science be part of each other than have them separately and contradict each other.
There are 2 different duration for fasting.

  1. Sunrise to Sunrise
  2. Sunrise to Sunset
3 levels of fasting
  1. Fruits and water
  2. Only water 
  3. No food, No water
Fasting based on meals
  1. No breakfast
  2. No lunch
  3. No dinner
Fasting based on day of the week.
Each day of the week is associated with one or more deities in Hinduism. Weekly fasting is something most do including my own family members.
  1. Fasting on monday
  2. Fasting on tuesday
  3. Fasting on wednesday
  4. Fasting on thursday
  5. Fasting on friday
  6. Fasting on saturday
  7. Fasting on sunday
Fasting is also done on a particular festival which comes ones a year.
  1. Fasting based on festival 
Fasting based on diet.
  1. Abstain from certain type of food on particular day of the week. Ex:- No meat on Wednesday or no garlic , no onion on tuesday.
Depending on ones house deity, your guru or mutt (school of thought), caste, sub caste and family lineage, one would follow a mix of the above.
I for example choose to fast on mahashivrathri which comes ones a year. Many a times I have done sunrise to sunrise, no food no water fasting. Now I do mostly no food, sunrise to sunrise fasting. My family however do sunrise to sunset, fruits and water is the only thing that they consume. Few of family members fast on one day of every week where they skip on one, two or all meals of the day. This is upto an individual and there are no hard restrictions as such that a caste, family or a group has to follow only a certain type of fasting.

The future is backwards

As you have seen with the technology trends in the last decade. The tech innovation and invention is slow, not necessarily because of the lack of skill but lack of will. If the tech world had kept up the same pace of innovation, implementation and invention as they did in the 90s and 2000s then the current world would be in chaos due to lack of jobs and too many mouths to feed. Some social engineering acts like SJW or feminism are taking care of population but that is still not enough. Automation can nowadays do most of the things what humans can, cant, will or wont do but they are deliberately kept in the closet to stop people from rioting or break down the social structure. Imagine if cars are all automated in India then over 25 million people who lose the job may either turn to crime or organized protests and riots to support themselves and their families. What would you do then? In future even if India or any country is able to manufacture or produce most of the technological aspects of the world, due to automation this won't be of any significance since most countries can have their own automation to produce the goods that they need. So what is there whose demands will be endless?

Overall Health (physical, mental, spiritual)
The country which masters this within a decade or two will be the source of admiration by all in the future. India luckily has a weather which can produce crops through out the year and throughout the country unlike other places where they can have one crop per year due to the lack of a supporting weather. Some countries have most of their places covered in ice most of the time of the year. India should invest heavily in agriculture, farming of animals and all agriculture related aspects. India alone can feed the whole world if we can use most if not all of the the agriculture land efficiently and effectively.

Human Perception Ceiling (HPC), external and internal engineering

You might know what is an apple iphone retina display is! Basically it is a ceiling or limitation that apple company had put on the resolution of the screen to match the perception of the eye. Most if not all products today consumed by humans are catered to serve their senses. 5 physical senses and the 6th if you believe in 6th sense. This is about how a saturation and if not an end to external engineering or product development can come sooner or later.
Let us take one example of screens or displays. Below are the most important things in a display when you buy it.

  • Resolution
  • Refresh rate
  • color reproduction and accuracy
  • Response time

Check what is the resolution of your phone or screen. You put few phones next to each other with the same picture on display on all of them. Let the resolution of the screens on them be 8k, 4k, Full HD (high definition), HD (High definition). If you do not know it already this is the heirarchy in terms of greatness and quality 8k > 4k>Full HD> HD. Make 100 and if not 1000 people look at them from a 10 inch distance (normally we should hold our phone to atleast 10 inches of distance from our eyes) and ask them if they see a difference in quality and overwhelming majority of them won't be able to correctly spot the difference in 4k and 8k screens where as few of them will be able to spot difference between HD or Full HD against 4k or 8k.
So if humans see no value in getting a phone screen with a higher resolution then they won't spend extra money on it for no reason. They will settle with 4k or less. So the ceiling for a phone with a screen size of 6inch or less the ceiling to innovation is 4k.
Currently we have displays on laptops, monitors which go upto 244hz refresh rate and that itself is considered as an overkill. Even if we get screens with 500hz or more, people will easily settle for something around 500hz or less since more than that cannot be sensed anyway. It is like your body can absorb only certain amount of nutrients and anything more given to it will be simply thrown out of the system and ignored.
Color reproduction is already being offered to 100% sRGB and adobe RGB but even if we come to a new standard which offers a bigger color spectrum equal to what we see naturally then we have reached the ceiling and beyond that human eyes cannot perceive so here too the human perception is the limitation.
Currently we have screen offering 1 millisecond response time, even if tomorrow we get screens with higher response time like 1 nanosecond or less, there is a ceiling of human perception and beyond that all innovation will be of no use and no consumer will invest in it if it costs more and no company will invest in making it since most won't buy it.
I took the example of displays since I wanted to talk about one sense which is most used by humans and well admired too. eyes.
The closer we are getting to the human perception ceiling the slower the innovation is getting, some might say that most innovators are deliberately doing this to stretch their inevitable obsolescence.
Solution: Invest on enhancing human perception. Invest on human health. Most humans want to live longer, healthier, stronger and be better than the previous generation and it can all come through "Inner Engineering".
There is only one civilization which is known to have achieved the highest success in inner engineering and that is Bharatiya Civilization. If you have purchased a yoga matte then use it.
There is however no ceiling on human health or internal engineering (physical, mental, spiritual, conscious, sub conscious etc.,)
All products which cater to 5 human senses have a ceiling which is directly proportional to the ability of human perception.

Corrective or vengeful reciprocation

 Over years, I have become convinced about "corrective reciprocation" being the safest moral principle that an individual or a gro...
