Tsunami of 3102 BCE (Part 1)

Effects, Consequences and Future (Part 1)

West Coast of Aryavart in 3102 BCE (Present Day: Somnath, Gujarat)

Near the temple, made of sandalwood (Old Somnath Temple built by Krishna), the peaceful ocean immediately became mad. Waves of ocean started rising higher towards the sky. After few moments, the shining sun was covered with the water walls. People became scary and there was chaos everywhere. Fortunately, the city near sandalwood temple of Shiva, were safe, as the waves started moving away. People were relieved that Prabhas Patan was safe. However, the waves were moving towards the familiar direction. Towards the golden city, known as Dwarka. People had never seen such high waves of ocean. This was clearly a natural disaster. It was abnormal, because no disaster had such power. The waves seemed so powerful that they could even break the mountains and high rocks or whatever tried to come in their way. It seemed as if the waves had the target and they were moving towards their destination quickly.

            

The leaders of Prabhas Patan commanded to evacuate the city as soon as possible. Moreover, other leaders ordered medical teams to stay alert, in case any bad news comes. People started moving towards the thick forest at the boundary of their city.

Dwarka, 3102 BCE

Satyaki and Kritavarma had been boasting about their triumphs in the Mahabharata war, since they both fought from opposite sides. [Satyaki was disciple of Arjun and he fought from Pandava side. Bur Kritavarma was the commander of Narayani Army, and the army was given to Duryodhana by Krishna. So he had to fight from Kaurava Army.] Yadavas had selected their groups and they all were boasting and drinking wines, unaware of the coming disaster. Suddenly, the boasting turned into the quarrel and Yadavas took out their swords like soldiers. Satyaki and Kritavarma both were now fighting with each other. Meanwhile, Pradyumna (Eldest son of Krishna and Rukmini) arrived to stop them. But the fight had become unstoppable. They had become bloodthirsty. Pradyumna somehow managed to pierce his way inside the fighting groups.

            

Krishna was watching the scenario from the balcony of his golden palace. Sad that his own dynasty wanted to destroy each other. They were fighting and killing each other like animals. He raised his gaze towards the horizon and felt something coming towards them in unavoidable speed. Meanwhile, birds started flying in no direction and sound of air became bizarre. Krishna could hear the voice of waves touching the high rocks of his beloved golden city. A sword came from nowhere and passed through Pradyumna’s stomach. Krishna heard the last painful cry of his eldest son, and the next attack beheaded Pradyumna and his dead body lied on the rock. Krishna immediately went inside, seeing the assassination of his son, and ordered soldiers to prepare troops. He told Balarama to evacuate their parents Vasudeva and Devaki towards Mathura along with Revati, Rukmini and other queens as soon as possible. Balarama did as Krishna said. And in time all royal members of Yadav Family were on their way towards Mathura except Krishna, Balarama and their sons. Balarama ordered to evacuate the city as soon as possible. People felt fear in their lungs. And they started leaving the city as soon as possible. Krishna, Balarama, and their sons started helping people to prepare boats and go towards Prabhas Patan through safe path. Few people made their way towards the Indus River and some followed Krishna and Balarama towards Prabhas Patan.

Meanwhile, the high walls of water came in full speed and broke the main golden gate and bridge of Dwarka, which was connected with city area. Evacuation of city had spread chaos and people were losing their stuff. Krishna and Balarama tried to save as many people as they could. Krishna guided the sailors to sail the boats in safe direction. People, who were seeing the dreadful scene of destruction of the city, were speechless. They could not imagine how the water flooded into their houses and destroyed them all in once. The grad buildings, made f\of pure gold, which were like sky scrapers, even they couldn’t bear the force of the water. Skyscrapers were flowed with water. Krishna and Balarama glanced to see the destruction and the waters broke the main gate of Dwarkadheesh palace, and flooded inside the golden palace. The waters took Rukmini Palace, Satyabhama Palace, and Revati Tower one by one and destroyed them all. In few moments, the yellow flag of peacock feather at the top of the palace sank in the water along with the hope. The high walls of water moved ahead and swallowed the entire city of gold, and then water became peaceful again as if it had achieved its goal. Krishna and Balarama saw their entire city destructing at once. The beloved city of Krishna was now just a dream. Gold had been swallowed by the ocean and it would be formed into clay as the time passes.

Krishna and Balarama managed to save few people and they successfully reached at Prabhas Patan. But that city was entirely empty. Few people were tried to serve those people who were in pain. Hunger and Illness with plague had captured remaining Yadavas, and they were dying eventually in front of Krishna’s eyes. Balarama’s limit was over now, and he couldn’t watch his own people dying like this. So, he finally decided to leave in the forest and from the earth. Krishna permitted and he also followed him the forest.

           

Balarama sat under a tree and started meditating, while Krishna was wandering in the forest. Balarama left his breath through meditation and a long snake with uncountable heads appeared from his body and disappeared towards the sky. Balarama died. Krishna wandered for days and then he sat under a tree, resting and thirsty. He closed his eyes, stretching his legs. A hunter was in hunt for an animal. He saw a ear-shaped blue skin through the bush. He aimed his arrow and hit the target. But it was not what he supposed it. He heard a painful cry of human. He quickly ran in the direction of voice, and he saw that he didn’t hit any ear of an animal, but he hit the leg of Krishna. Blood was coming out from Krishna’s body. The hunter started pleading to Krishna, but Krishna assure him not to worry, he was just a medium of his death. It was the curse, and he just became medium to make that curse true.

            

Eventually, Krishna left his breath under that tree and departed to his spiritual abode, Vainkunth. Few people, who wanted not to fall ill, departed towards the Indus River and few stayed there. 

To be continued...

Note: Mausala Parva describes that Tsunami came when Arjun was about to leave after rescuing people. That Version would be published later, which would portray a story how Arjun saw Dwarka was being swallowed after the death of Krishna.

P. S.: The reasons of this Tsunami of 3102 BCE would be published in another post. It would have full description of all the reasons (known and unknown) that caused this dreadful disaster.

Gita: How and what I understood it? (Part-4)

Gita, how and what I understood it.(Part-4)

A true Supreme Soul in Vishwaroop Darshan Yoga and what is Bhakti Yoga?

            

True Supreme Soul in Vishwaroopa Darshan Yoga:

In the Vishwaroop Darshan Yoga of Gita, the lord shows his universal form to Arjun’s soul and explains how universe is itself part of supreme soul and how each soul on earth is connected to the supreme soul. He says I’m the universe. He says I’m everything and nothing. I’m larger than infinite and smaller than a cell of human body. I’m everywhere, in each particle of this universe. I’m in good person and even in bad person. I’m best in the best of everything. I’m the great archer Arjun and I’m Vasudeva Krishna.

            

All these indicate that the god, whom we try to find elsewhere is nowhere but in each particle of universe. If our souls are parts of the supreme soul, then he lives in that soul. He can communicate thorough that soul. The god has no gender, no shape, no color. The god is from where each soul starts its journey and where each of them ends their journey. The nature itself is part of supreme soul. Universal form of god was nothing but the reality of how the life wheel flows eternally. Each body has its own perspective to find the god. Some find him in idols, and some find him in their own souls. It’s just a matter of perspective. When the god is with us with our soul, then why to find him elsewhere? What is definition of god? He is not a person who could be found. He is not a thing which could be hunted. He is nothing, but everything. When we decide something with pure heart and without joining ourselves in mortal feelings of body, that decision comes from our soul, and indirectly, from the supreme soul. And as we are convinced that the supreme soul is the supreme god. So, when our heart is pure and our soul is free from bounds of this mortal world, we are with the supreme god. A person, who could see this truth, could easily recognize who the supreme soul is. He would see supreme soul in each body wandering on the earth. He would see supreme soul in each thing in this universe. He doesn’t need idol to worship. Because his worship is his own Karma and true knowledge. And that’s the real and easiest way to get god inside you. That’s what Arjun did. He then came to know that Krishna was the fully enlightened soul, and he knew the soul which is fully enlightened without help of another soul, must be the supreme soul itself. And that’s why we see Krishna as complete god, with all powers and knowledge.

            

The word divinity itself implies that it means enlightened. The things we call divine, are the things which could be easily recognized by enlightened soul. When a soul gets such true knowledge, and feels itself free from the body and feel itself as a part of the supreme soul, it is called an enlightened soul and it is too a supreme soul. As hand is called part of our body and when we refer body, it includes our hand too. Similarly, when we refer supreme soul, it means all the souls that makes the complete and supreme soul.

            

The universal form was the view which shows how the universe works. Lord says that that form has never been seen by anyone, and Arjun sees it, because he was the best man on earth. He also says that this Gita knowledge could be gained properly by few persons. And no one could gain it better than Arjun, because his soul has that ability to enlighten itself. We have too. But for that, we have to leave those mortal feelings aside, so that we could see our soul.

            

Bhakti Yoga:

Bhakti Yoga, actually explains the ways to worship gods, which are various for people according to their beliefs. Few people worship idols, few worship through Chanting, few worship by fasts, few worship by knowledge, and few like Arjun, worship by dedicating results of all Karma to supreme god. Now as I explained above that god is nowhere, but inside our heart, then the question might rise in your mind, why we worship idols, and chant the hymns and shlokas, etc?

            

Well, here is the answer. Let me ask you a question, would you remember all these what you understood in Gita for your entire life? Do you remember everything you have read in past? No. You need to revise those things. Similarly, idol worshipping is a widely accepted way to remind your soul what your real aim is. It is a reminder to your soul that it shouldn’t divert. It must keep faith in supreme soul and work. But clearly, today’s generation has taken it differently. We’ve made idol worshipping our everything that we forgot what actual god is. We have forgotten what the supreme soul is, and how we can contact with it. We have made idol worshipping supreme way to please god, which is not. We are just meant to keep faith in supreme soul with our very breath. We are meant to do work for god, without expecting its fruit. We are meant to do our Karma without got flowed in the feelings of mortal body. And we can see what the world has become, can’t we?

Gita has taught us everything to live our life happily and prosperously. Bhakti Yoga doesn’t say that you must follow idol worshipping or mantras or chanting. It says you should follow what you think is best for you. Scholars would always select either way of knowledge (Sankhya Yoga), way of doing Karma without expecting fruits (Karma Yoga) or dedicating fruits of our Karma to supreme soul (Karma Sanyas Yoga). Few people like Karna, pleases the supreme soul through charity. And his charity was unlike these people. His charity was from his pure heart. We could gain knowledge and lessons of life from each character of the Mahabharata. The epic has many characters with different characteristics and they all teaches lessons for life. Positive characteristics of character motivates us, and their negative characteristics teaches us not to repeat those mistakes they did. I personally think if you want to learn what true life should be, you must study the Mahabharata once. And you should also focus on the Gita, which explains you to live your life in appropriate way.

I would like to explain more about other parts of Gita, but since this knowledge would be enough for readers, I would ignore writing them. Though, I would take my time to explain characteristics of the characters from the Mahabharata, so that readers could know each side of each character from the epic.

Thank you, if you have read and tried to agree with my views over Gita. I know it’s impossible to explain and narrate like god himself. But I tried my best to explain what I think. Thank you, again.

Gita, how and what I understood it.(Part-3)

3 qualities of a person’s nature and their consequences according to Gita

3 qualities that makes a person's nature:

Before starting Bhakti Yoga, let’s see overview of remaining parts, because it would clear what the supreme soul is.

           

As I said, I consider supreme soul is the fully enlightened soul. And we know that no one is fully enlightened in today’s world. Bitter truth. All souls have knowledge by default. But when the souls are bound with body by nature, it is bound by three qualities: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. These qualities make the nature of human. Your nature, and my nature. All men have only these three kind of nature. Now what are they? Let me explain.

            

Sattva – Sattva is said to be the purest quality. Sattva quality rises from happiness, knowledge and truth. When a person is respectful to everyone, nice to everyone and selfless, he has the Sattva quality inside it. The person who has such qualities generally lives happily and without worries.

          

Rajas – Rajas quality rises from affection, attraction, love (blind love), greed, blind faith, lust and such types of qualities. When a person is sunk in one of these qualities, he belongs to Rajas quality. The person who has such qualities, thinks that he is happy, but his after life becomes worse.

            

Tamas – Tamas quality rises from wrong knowledge (Agyan), laziness, anger (without reason) and such other qualities. When a person’s behavior becomes bad and worse, he has developed Tamas quality. This type of person never sleeps happily. He always thinks about greedy luxuries, lust and etc.

            

The person’s nature depends on the levels of these qualities. Each quality suppresses other two qualities and develops person’s nature.

            

E.g., Grandsire Bhishma in the Mahabharata, was a person of Sattva quality. Because he knew what was right and what was wrong. Unfortunately, he was bound in the results of his Karma (The vow which he gave to Dhritarashtra to protect him and his children).

Emperor Yudhishthira and all Pandavas, Karna, etc were of Sattva quality. Mahabharata describes that the persons who have too much Sattva quality in them usually find themselves apart from the world and they eventually give up everything and take Sanyas. They give up all their Karmas of proper life. 

E.g., Emperor Pandu. He took Sanyas after the curse and didn’t think about his people.

           

King Dhritarashtra was a person of Rajas quality. He was in blind love for his son Duryodhana. And he forgot the right, despite of knowing it, due to that blind love. He never felt the condition of his people and the world.

            

Dronacharya, a combination of Sattva and Rajas. He was a good mentor and his deeds of lifetime makes him a person of Sattva quality, but his blind love for his son Ashwatthama, makes him a person of Rajas quality.

            

Duryodhana, a combination of Rajas and Tamas. Despite of his good deeds, he always had greed for the throne and the empire. That’s how he is in Rajas Quality. This particular character explains how a person’s nature can be affected by role model. He followed his maternal uncle Shakuni, and ended up in Tamas quality.

            

Dushasana, a combination of Rajas and Tamas. He was from Rajas quality, because he had blind faith in his elder brother and maternal uncle. He followed his elder brother’s each instruction without thinking over it. And he ended up in bad behaiour. A Tamas quality.

            

That’s how these three qualities makes a person’s nature, and presumes its outcomes.

            

Once Krishna was asked how he foresees the future. Despite of the fact that he was born with full powers like complete god and he could actually see the future, he just replied that he just presumes the future according to the person’s nature.

           

The Mahabharata also explains how the choice of wrong side and wrong leader ends up. Pandavas made Krishna their guide and leader because they knew that he would never lead them in wrong way.

           

Explanation of these three qualities was necessary to understand how a person’s nature is created.

The Following image shows how people of these qualities are found in various Yugas of Chaturyuga.

Note: These are my view and how I understood Gita. You might not agree with me, and if you feel it hurts to anyone, I heartily apologize.

Gita: How and what I understood it? (Part-2)

Gita, how and what I understood it.(Part-2)

Karma Yoga and Karma Sanyas Yoga

Karma Yoga:

            Now, if we are souls, what are we for in this world? This part is its answer. Karma Yoga explains that we should do our work without expectations, selfishness and affection. When we expect something in the return of our work, isn’t the purity in that work.

            Each work is called Karma, but not each Karma is called work. All our work is our Karma, but all those works we do, are for something that we want. We eat food is our work, and it’s Karma too. But we meditate, is not our work. It’s our Karma. Even we breathe is our Karma. Everything we do or we don’t do, is Karma. E.g., we work to get salary. When parents educate their children, they shouldn’t expect anything in return from their children. Why should they? Have they educated them so that they could help them? No. If parents grow their children in well manner, they will always help their parents. Then why to expect anything? People worship gods only to get something from them. Nowadays we do each Karma to get something in return. And that’s our selfish act. Karma must be selfless. The core of expectation is called resolution. Our resolution binds us with those expectations and we know what expectations cause in the end. Karma should be done with pure heart, without thinking about its result. We must keep faith in our work, in our Karma. Because we have only right over our Karma, not over its result. If we have done our Karma with full faith and purity, it will give us results. But we shouldn’t expect it. The souls are bound in bodies to do works in this mortal world. We can’t simply give up everything. We are meant to do our Karma.

            Then the question rises, how to know which Karma is right and wrong? If you have followed the Sakhya Yoga properly, the Karma chosen by you would be right, because it was chosen by pure heart. I recall once Balrama asked Krishna, “Why you favor Pandavas when you know that they have also done wrong things and those things ultimately cause this war? How you concluded to favor them?” Then Krishna replied, “I decide my side with purity of my heart. I choose without thinking our mortal bounds and affection. I choose without thinking about hatred and love. I know Arjun is my best friend, and I admit that Arjun is dearest to me. But that is not the reason why I favor them. I see righteousness with them, I see Dharma in Pandavas side. And they need guidance in this battle.” It’s the best way to discriminate what’s wrong and what’s right? And when you can’t decide, you can stay neutral as Balrama did. But you must do your Karma.

            The sanyasi people, who have given up their Karmas in daily life, have their own way to reach to supreme soul. There are many ways to reach the supreme soul. Few reach by worshipping, few reach by fasts, few do chanting, and few do their Karma without binding self in those Karmas. They understand what they are doing, are actually their body’s work. This thinking won’t allow any sorrow, anger or affection to reach to your mind and soul as well.

            Karma Yoga is better than all the ways described above to reach the supreme soul. Sankhya yoga is also a way to reach the supreme soul in which a person uses the way of knowledge to reach his final destination. But Karma Yoga is said better, because it’s easier, besides, it would give you results and your body can enjoy those luxuries happily. But you should be aware that your mind doesn’t divert.

            Arjun was the yogi. Because he did each Karma without expecting the results. He fought the war without expecting the triumph. But faith gives fruits.

Karma Sanyas Yoga:

            Now, we know the Karma Yoga and we also know that we can reach at supreme soul through various ways. The best way is Karma Sanyas Yoga. Karma Sanyas Yoga explains that we should dedicate all results of our karma to the supreme soul. It means when you dedicate the results of your Karma to the supreme soul, it would lighten your soul, and your mind wouldn’t divert. Whether the result would be good or bad, whether it would be victory or defeat, just dedicate it to supreme soul. If the result is good, it would give bliss to your soul, and if it’s not, you still feel light and sinless. And you will do another Karma without thinking about the last Karma. This explains how we can come over from the defeat we got.

            The Supreme soul accepts everything you offer with pure heart. It’s not necessary that you worship with Yajnas, Kathas and aarti. It’s not necessary you offer sweets. We should only offer ourselves selflessly. And we will see that we wouldn’t choose bad Karma and that wouldn’t cause bad result and eventually, every beings will be happy and prosperous. Why to collect money when you know that it’s mortal? If you are just thinking about your soul, then you don’t need anything more than require to survive your body. That’s why scriptures consider charity as the best act. Because it’s done with pure heart, and without expecting anything in return. The purest Karma.

            Karma Sanyas Yoga calms your entire mind and worries about future or the results. Whatever they are, just give them to the supreme soul.

         Karma Sanyas Yoga can be properly understood by the knowledge of Sankhya and Karma yoga. When a person accepts Karma Sanyas Yoga completely, he could do his Karma without affection, attraction and other bounds. And decision of Karma in such situation are always right, because a person decides his Karma with sinless pure heart, without hatred and love. And that’s what a man meant to do on this earth.

            We are created to work and balance the nature. The nature, who gives us birth in this world, and we must use our body to maintain its dignity. Our souls have all the knowledge. But when our soul is planted as a seed in that body formed by nature, the three qualities of nature binds body with soul, and those qualities hides the true knowledge of soul. When we enlighten ourselves through any medium, we find that our soul knows everything. It’s just our knowledge was hidden beneath the layer of feelings felt by mortal body. We didn’t know what our actual Karma is, and what we meant to do in this world. We work for nature, and that’s our Dharma. When nature wants to eliminate bad people and free their souls from that sinful body, humans must become the medium to do that thing. That’s why Krishna said to Arjun not to fight for revenge or anything. Because they would be just mediums. Nature wanted to free souls of Duryodhana and others. And so, the war was necessary.

Importance and Sankhya Yoga

            Janmashtami is coming, and as we all know that it is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Krishna, who is said to be the complete god, the incarnation of supreme lord with full enlightenment and powers. The great message of life was once said by him, and it is truly inspiring for all mankind. Actually, Gita was said during the time when it is believed that there was no religion. All people were same and believed in same kind of gods. That’s why Hinduism is called as the religion of ages. It is religion that lives on earth for many centuries, maybe since the rise of mankind. Anyway, I’m not discussing about those topics, because they would take lots of discussion to prove things and I don’t think I’m able to do so. Here I’m trying to explain Gita as I understood it. If you read Gita, you might feel it favors Hindu religion with core. But that’s not true. It feels because it was said in the era when there was no possibility of other religion. Now we can see various religions, and they all are right in their own decent ways. So we shouldn’t excuse over those points. Gita should be considered as the way and inspiration to live life properly. As we know that it’s a part of the great epic Mahabharata, that whole epic shows each stages of life, each kind of person, and how to be neutral, or how to choose our side at each stage. Gita explains how a person could choose what is right and what is wrong. It explains how you can enlighten yourself.

            Gita is an epic, and we can’t modify it. But, in today’s generation, the youth has forgotten the meaning of Gita completely. No one knows what it wants to convey. I have studied the Mahabharata due to my eagerness through its core, and I want to share my view about Gita in simplified manner, so that my readers could think over it and might accept if they like it. Gita can’t be said properly by any person. The god himself was the best speaker and Arjun was the great listener. No one could explain it better than Krishna himself, and no one could gain it better than Arjun. And today, like many persons, I would try to convey a message to each person of any religion about life. I know reading Gita and ancient texts seem quite uninteresting to today’s generation. That’s why I would try to simplify it and interesting to read, so that people of each religion could agree with it.

            First the thing which I want you to aware with is, Gita wasn’t said by Krishna. Gita was the words of the supreme soul, the supreme lord himself, who communicated with Arjun’s soul through the medium of Krishna. And it is believed that the supreme soul communicates through the medium of an enlightened soul, which Krishna was. The fully enlightened soul. This shows when you need inspiration or help from the god, he communicates with you through a medium. You just have to recognize that medium. That’s why in Gita each words came from Krishna’s mouth are said as ‘The Lord says’, not ‘Krishna says’. Krishna was medium, through which his enlightened soul, which we can say the supreme soul communicated with Arjun’s soul. Krishna was Arjun’s cousin, brother-in-law and the best friend, and he found him the best medium of inspiration. That shows you may find inspiration and the great knowledge from your friend, mentor or any person, but you must have faith in that person.

            We always follow our role model, don’t we? And Gita says that we must have a role model, whose ways we can follow. But do you think that any person’s ways are fully believable or acceptable? Because we know that no person is sinless. All people do mistakes, and if we follow those people completely, we will repeat those mistakes and eventually, get results as well. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make role model. It means we must accept only positive things from those role models, which are important to us. The lord says that we should make a role model who is sinless and whose words are always true. That means we must make the supreme soul as our role model. Because the supreme soul is the best guide of life. Now who is supreme soul? You all would have this question.

Supreme soul:

            As I understand it, the supreme soul means the fully enlightened soul, which has the knowledge of all those things which can reveal your hidden knowledge of beings by removing the darkness of anger, lust, love, impact and such things that binds us to this mortal world. Krishna is said to be the enlightened soul, because he had that knowledge to recognize truth, Dharma, who can guide to the right path. And his soul can be said as the supreme soul.

            Gita has 18 parts (Adhyayas), and among all these, there are four parts which I think we all must understand deeply. Among those all parts, I consider Sankhya Yoga, Karma Yoga, Karma Sanyas Yoga and Bhakti Yoga as the best to understand. And then few others are Gyan-Vigyan Yoga, Vibhuti Yoga and Gyan Yoga which would explain you the existence of materials and each thing in the universe.

Sankhya Yoga:

            Sankhya Yoga primarily explains that a person must understand the difference between body and soul. Body is what you see and which is made of five basic elements: Soil, which makes our body. Fire, which gives temperature to our body. Water, which makes blood in our body. Air, which is breathing of body, and the sky, which is space of body. These five elements makes body. Soul can’t be created, and can’t be destroyed. It just changes bodies, as we change our clothes. All souls are parts of one supreme soul and the destination and the source of all souls. We must understand that what we do, we feel is work of our body, not of our soul. The body is just a medium, through which the Karma is done. The enlightenment of this truth is called real knowledge, which is called Sankhya yoga. When we understand that all we do and feel are not we (souls) do or feel, then we will have no sorrow, no happiness, no anger, no lust, and no attraction towards anything. A soul who sees sorrow and happiness as equal, who sees anger and love as equal is said to be the balanced soul and on its way to enlightenment. Enlightenment is the process in which a soul understand that it is basically only connected with the supreme soul, and not with bodies.

            The feelings of body bind us with all the stuff. When we think about mortal stuff, which increases our greed to achieve them and eventually, that creates expectations. When expectations are felt unsecured, or are destroyed, that makes a person angry and anger eventually, causes the destruction. So, that means as long as we think that we are the body in which we live, we are bound in that bounds. So, we must understand that we are soul, because it is our thinking, and we have to see everyone as a soul. If everyone follows this principle and gets enlightenment, there would be no hatred, no anger, no sorrow. This would create a world which we all want. But first, we have to start the initiative.

            As a new body takes birth inside a woman’s womb, the mankind takes birth inside the womb of nature, and the soul is seed in that body. We should do our without thinking that it’s our work, but it’s our body’s work. Souls are not medium in your work.

            This difference will ultimately kill all your affection and destroy all bounds with mortal body, and you will see yourself as the unspoiled soul. This is Sankhya Yoga.

The Wheel of Time (My Perspective)

Note: This blog is completely based on my perspective. I’m posting what I’ve thought. It doesn’t relate to any actual theory. And I have used concepts of Hindu Mythology.

                Last night, when I was sleeping in my bed, I was just thinking about the ancient weapons, humans and etc things and just this theory hit my mind. I know it’s adorable, but just read it once for fun.

                Imagine the wheel of time, and why it’s called wheel in every text. The texts give reason that it is called wheel because the time flows eternally. But this different theory hit my mind. We know that our ancient texts the Ramayana and the Mahabharata describes various weapons and technologies which we have found after so many years and some of them are still not discovered. For example, let’s take the Pushpaka Vimana from The Ramayana. We discovered planes which are based on those ancient technology of Vimanas in 20^th century. The Mahabharata describes many weapons that had similar effects like our latest weapons. For example, Brahmashtra. Actually, there were three weapons in ancient times which were said to be the greatest destruction objects. Brahmashtra, Brahmashirastra, and Brahmandastra. As the Mahabharata describes, Brahmastra had similar effects like mini Atom Bombs, which can destroy particular areas of land, and it could destroy the fertility of a ground for few years. Atom bombs have similar effects like Brahmastra. Brahmashirastra was similar to major nuclear bombs that can destroy large cities all in once. So, we are sure that we have discovered weapons like those. The last one, Brahmandastra could destroy and burn the whole world, according to the Mahabharata. And no one has ever used it. Once Dronacharya wanted to use it when he heard the fake news of assassination of his beloved son Ashwatthama. But then he was stopped. So, no one has ever witnessed its true power, and hence, we still don’t know about such weapon and it isn’t yet developed. The less known weapon, named Pashupatastra, which was said to be the most efficient weapon to kill the target. The texts describe that it never missed the target. In Ramayana, Meghnad (Indrajeet), son of Ravan, once used it on Laxman and we all know that story when Laxman went into coma and Hanuman saved his life by lifting Sanjeevani from the Himalayas. In Mahabharata, Arjun used Pashupatastra on Jayadratha, and it took Jayadratha’s head to his father’s lap and eventually, they both got killed. So, clearly, Pashpatastra never missed the target. It was very hard to gain that weapon and very few like Parshuram, Meghnad, Rama, Laxman, Arjuna Karna, Bhishma, etc had that weapon. Pashupatastra had similar effects like missile. Missile never misses its target. And we know what missile is called in Hindi. It’s called Praxepastra, which relates to Pashupatastra.

So, this shows that we had these types of weapons in that era, and then by time, they disappeared. And now, we have rediscovered them. Now what I was thinking is, that we are said to be in Kaliyuga, the last yuga in Chaturyuga. After the end of Kaliyuga, it is said that we will reenter in the very first yuga, Kritayuga (Satayuga), and then Treta, Dwapar and Kali will again come in the next Chaturyuga. What if we will enter in the next Chaturyuga with our technologies, and they will be used in battles in Kritayuga and in other yugas? What if those technologies would again disappear in time during the next Chaturyuga? And what if those technologies would be rebuilt by people after many years in that Chaturyuga? It can be possible, can’t it? Now think it in reverse. What if such technologies were built in the Kaliyuga of last Chaturyuga, and eventually, those were entered in the current Chaturyuga? What if the weapons we read in the ancient texts were actually built in the kaliyuga of last Chaturyuga and people of the Krita, Treta and Dwapar had just adopted those weapons from the past? And they disappeared in time, and eventually, we rebuilt those weapons and the next Chaturyuga would use them, again. Now I was thinking, what if everything that is happening in this era, would again happen at the proper time in the next Chaturyuga too? What if everything is in loop for infinite period? What if everything is just about time, and everything is flowing and repeating itself in every Chaturyuga?

What if the Ramayana and the Mahabharata will repeat themselves in the next Treta and next Dwapar, respectively, and what if those have repeated themselves in last Treta and last Dwapar? I just feel everything is happening again and again after few billion years, and it would never stop.

Now that messes with Darwin's law, right? But mankind came in existence billions years ago, and clearly, it must have seen many Chaturyugas. Because texts describe Manu as complete human in Satayuga, so we existed even before than that. Besides, after many Chaturyugas, the universe once consumes itself and then reemerges from itself. So till then, we can say that we can adopt the technologies in each era by previous era. And what if after many Chaturyugas, when the universe would consume itself and reemerge, then it again starts the same cycle that it has started at the creation of current Universe? What if the universe has created and consumed itself for uncountable times? I know it's hard to believe, hence, it's just imagination. And each Chaturyuga ends with harsh natural disaster and such disasters have their consequences over climate and mankind. That climate might change appearance or stuff in humans and they could become small or big, as our texts describe people bigger than ours. Disasters which could end a Chaturyuga can do various things that we can't ever imagine. So they may destroy our cities, and eventually, we could only save few things which we think that might help in future, like weapons. So, now let's return to what if. What if the universe would reemerge and repeat exactly the same thing for infinite time? What if these things have just no end and have a very end? I know that it’s mind boggling, and I don’t want to mess with the scientific theories, but I just got this thought, and so I shared it. Now what if the same Bhargav Patel would share the same stuff at the same time in the next Kaliyuga, and what if the same Bhargav Patel had already shared the same stuff at the same time in the last Kaliyuga? What if all these weapons like Brahmastra, Brahmashirastra and Brahmandastra, Pashupatastra were just these weapons that we are using now, it’s just they were developed in the last Kaliyuga? What if these missiles, atom bombs and nuclear bombs would be renamed as those ancient names in the next Kritayuga? And imagine dawns of those all civilizations and just think that they would be rebuilt in the next Chaturyuga. I mean what if the people that would enter in the next Chaturyuga would lose their identities, nationalities by time and what if Rama, Krishna, Jesus, Allah, and Buddha would come again on earth in the next Chaturyuga, and they have already come in the last Chaturyuga?

I think why the ancient texts describes time as a rotating wheel, has a deep thing than that we have yet known. We just think that they say it rotating wheel, because it flows endlessly. But what if they say it rotating wheel, because it repeats everything again and again after few billions of years?

I don’t know if such thing has ever been published or thought, but I just hit that thought naturally. And thank you very much, if you read this thing till the end.

Father’s Day

Thank you, Dad. For everything you’ve done for me

            Generally, third Sunday of June is celebrated as Father’s Day in India and many other eastern and western countries. We know the Mother’s Day on second Sunday of May. And we always see many ads, articles and posts about Mother’s Day and showing importance of Mothers in lives. But Father’s Day is always ignored, just like Men’s Day. What is it? Is Father is less important than Mother in our life? People say that a mother can take care of a child even without father. But in other hand, we’ve many examples in which Father has also cared for his child when the mother has gone or died. We’ve always disgraced our Father compared to our mother. No, I’m not saying against mothers or women. But still, I feel that men and fathers should be given equal importance. If a mother gives birth to a child, a father also raises him/her and takes his/her responsibilities. He also sacrifices his many dreams only to fulfil his child’s requirements. He could never see tears in his child’s eyes, because those tears indicate his failure in taking care of his child. Every child sees superhero in his/her father. And a father can never fail. Because he is their superhero, their guardian. How could he fail?

            When we see our mother crying, we try to calm her by wiping her tears. But when we see our father crying, believe me, it’s the saddest moment of our life. Our half courage breaks down at that particular moment. When we see our superhero crying, what else can we do for him? And we always know that there is a bigger reason behind his tears, because fathers are believed strong, and if they’re crying, there is something wrong. So, we can’t bear tears in our father’s eyes. And I personally don’t like that scene.

            The other thing is that our father makes many sacrifices throughout his life only to secure our future. Apparently, he has many expectations from us. But still, if we fail to fulfil his expectations, he doesn’t say a word. He still inspires us to move on and get other achievements.

            I recall one incident from my past life when I was in HSC. Board results were about to come and I was sitting in front of my computer screen, eagerly waiting for results. Everyone had great expectations from me, because I was considerably bright student of my class. But when my results came, I was completely broken. I could get barely first class. I, my friends and teachers had hoped for distinctions and more. But all I could get, was 61%. My father sat beside me, when the results came. Despite of my disappointment, I glanced at him with the corner of my eye, and I saw that sad eyes staring still at computer screen. Once I had believed my fate, but he couldn’t accept that. But still, despite of that unexpected down result, he didn’t say me a word. Perhaps, he believed me. He knew that I deserved more. But it was over now. At that evening, he only inspired me to overcome my failure and begin a new life with a new dream. He advised me to chase a new dream. And I followed his advice. Though I failed to stand over his expectations many times, he still believes me. He has trust in my capabilities, even I don’t have now.

            The conclusion is: Our fathers do everything to make us happy. So technically, it’s our noble responsibility to respect him. We’ve his name and we can feel proud due to only and only his name. So, we have no right to destroy his name, fame and glory. He never makes you follow his path, but he shows us the path. He is our true mentor.

            Only a father knows the real world and its consequences. So he teaches us how to deal with this world. He makes us a man. A journey from a boy to teenager and from a teenager to a man. And the one man who never leaves us, is our Father.

            A father is our role model and we always want to become like him. A father teaches his son how to be a good husband, son, son-in-law, and moreover a good father. A father loves his daughter more than any man could ever do. And that’s why each girl sees her father as her first love. And believe me, girls love fathers more than us (boys). Because they say there is only one man on the earth on whom they can blindly trust. FATHER.

            Finally, thank you, Dad, for everything you’ve done for me. And thank you that you’ve maintained your faith in me for all these years. Thank you for inspiring me when I was broken down. Thank you for believing me when no one had belief. Thank you to fulfil my each request and desire. Thank you, Dad. Thank you very much.

            Thank you, God. You’ve given me such a precious relation. I’ll always owe you for this.
