India the origin of knowledge

India the origin of knowledge

Dr. VVS Sarma's recent post kindled me to write these few lines. Please bear with me if I am wrong.

India is the origin of knowledge and let this not be a disputed fact what so ever. As far as I am concerned I cannot claim myself to be a gnyani. Hence there will be innumerable number of things I do not know. But my anxiety is to pass on the little to the posterity hoping that they can continue the legacy with all their concern commitment, devotion and dedication, their inquisitiveness and research. One request I would like to make to the readers is that if anybody's post is not accompanied by any authenticity first consider it to be true and start your research, you may then arrive at a conclusion that whether your research confirms or contradicts the posted material and then can discuss with the person who posted. The mindset of the present day old people, people crossed 60,  accept things told by their elders. For certain things, their experience would have given the result, right or wrong, and the rest they take it as axioms till disproved. This type of proving things in Mathematics is called 'reductio ad absurdum' tried to give an account very briefly, after going through Sri Sarma Garu's post as to how we are getting exploited by certain so called great Christian and western scholars.

The numerals were first learnt from us by gulf countries and even today they call them 'Hindsa' which was there after crept to western countries.

Pythagoras theorem was plagiarised by him from his disciples who got it from Bodhayana 'Sulba Sutras' and ultimately he was killed.

In the first stage, a Westerner approaches an Indian guru or tradition with extreme deference, and acquires the knowledge as a sincere disciple.

Once the transfer of knowledge is complete, he will progressively erase all traces of the original source, repackages the ideas as his own thought, and may even proceed to denigrate the source tradition.

In the final stage, the ideas are exported back to India by him and his followers for consumption. Thus Christian yoga came to India.

Plotinus is one such person who came to India to acquire assimilate Indian philosophy about 'Ekameva Adwiteeyam Brahma' or adwaita and after accomplishing he went back his mother land and presented it to be his own and the 19th century philosophers attributed all the greatness to his theory and termed it as 'Platonism.'

If the educated Christians of India scrupulously could go through the Texts of this dharma they can find back their origins.

If the atrocities of Muslims and Christians for over 800 years are noticed by any sincere reader of the Indian History, irrespective of his present religion he can realise what he lost. Moreover he can also realise how his ancestors were lured or threatened and their great-great grand ladies were molested and converted.

Maharshi Veda Vyasa says in the prelude of Maha Bharata 'ధర్మేచార్థేచ కామేచ మొక్షేచ భరతర్షభ

యది అస్తి దన్యత్ర యన్నేహాస్తి నతత్కచిత్.

'He says this work MAHABHARATA contains the Gist of anything and everything that any book in the world may contain, but nowhere in any book can anybody see what is not contained in this. This is authenticity with which he wrote the MAHABHARATA. Can any author of whatever greatness he eulogized, challenge like this? This one book is enough to study and attain knowledge of both 'iha' and 'para'.

“ధర్మ ఏవ హతో హన్తి ధర్మో రక్షతి రక్షితః

తస్మాద్ధర్మో న హన్తవ్యో మా నో ధర్మో హతోవధీత్”

– మనుస్మృతి

“చంపబడిన ధర్మం ఆ ధర్మాన్ని చంపినవాణ్ణి చంపుతుంది;

రక్షింపబడిన ధర్మం అ ధర్మాన్ని రక్షించినవారిని రక్షిస్తుంది;

కనుక, ధర్మం చేత మనం చంపబడకుండా ఉండేందుకు

మనం ఆ ధర్మాన్ని సదా రక్షించాలి”

 Dharma if killed it kills. It safe guards if safeguarded. Hence protect it and get protected.

So let us safe guard dharma. Somehow we spent our days with the help of the light thrown by our elders. It is the time now for the youth to throw light to make things visible and then proceed.
