Singularity and Brahman

 

Mostly in Hindu context, when one talk about Brahman then it is taken as Brahma- the creator of this world as per Hindu mythology. The Brahma is the one that created the world, the first cause and the ontological argument of creation. The Puranas describe the religious creation through Brhma.


But philosophically, as per Hindu rationality, Brahman is a concept of Advaita (One, single, singular, sole and only) Vedanta that describes a single reality. This reality is attribute less, shapeless, colourless and only the reality of the universe. The concept of Brahman is transcendental and without Brahman nothing exists.

Shanker Acharya described Brahman as the stem of the only reality and it is neuter gender and only the ultimate reality. The Brahman is the singularity and there is no duality except Brahman, Brahman is translated as the universe, the cosmos the one and only reality. Shanker while building the oneness philosophy on Hindu soil cleared that there is nothing except Brahman and the only reality.

Shanker established the marvellous Hindu philosophy of single reality in metaphysics move ahead and described creation though the concept of Maya (illusion). The Maya is the power of Brahman and that Maya created the universe, the world which is illusion till the real Brahman is not understood.

Unfortunately, religious minds forget that Shanker had distinguish the concept of singularity of Brahman from the concept of god and therefore the real concept of oneness, shapeless and attribute less, tasteless, smell less has been forgotten. For Shanker the god is as real as the illusion and as soon as one come out of Maya, the illusion, the concept of god vanish as like of dream. The Brahman is the singularity and the only truth.

In recent Astronomy, the theory of Big Bang came out and claimed that the universe emerged from a singularity and the creation started. The singularity is beyond time, place and attribute. The phenomena of creation of plurality are from singularity and there is a simulation hypothesis of this creation.

It is unfortunate that there is no research on the concept of Hindu rationality described in Indian philosophy.

‘We suffer every day and every time for unreality ‘

  About 2 thousand and 5 hundred years ago, Gautam Buddha discovered the Concept of suffering, cause of suffering and the golden rule to cease the suffering. For Buddhist, suffering is manifests within the conscious. Gautam Buddha after dwelling so many years found the concept of suffering in society and developed the methods to cease that suffering in lifetime. But still, after 2 thousand and 5 hundred years, the suffering prevails and people are suffering. They are not suffering but have reason or cause for suffering and they do not know how to cease this suffering. Mind it, suffering is different from pain or anguish. Present, theories suggest that suffering is the part of life and without suffering people have no life left. Suffering is there because people want to suffer. They want suffering to understand the existence of their own in their own sphere. Suffering therefore prevails as much true as the life prevails on the earth. Hindu philosophy, emphasized mostly on the ...

What is Hindu Tantrism ?

   They believe only in the power of nature and liberation is to overpower the rules of nature. They do not feel cold even in snowfall or hunger even after keeping fasts for long-long months. This class is fascinated by the nature of Lord Shiva who is known as a destroyer of the world in the system of Hindu religion. But scholars point out that this sect is not associated with any Hindu philosophy,   “ Tantrism is neither Buddhist nor Hindu in origin. It seems to be a religious undercurrent originally independent of any abstruse metaphysical speculation, flowing on from an obscure point of time in the religious history of India, ” Dasgupta in Obscure religious cult page 27.   He further added, “ Side by side with the commonly known theological speculations and religious practices, there has been flowing in India asimportant undercurrent of esoteric yogic practices from a pretty old time. These esoteric practices, when associated with the theological speculations of t...

Good or bad, voice calls you within

  “It is the inner voice that guide me for my action,” said a 7-year-old girl Sara to her friend softly but confidently. She looks all around and continued, “My mother said that we all have good and bad voices inside us and within us and therefore I daily offer prayer that my good voice should speak loud.” This is not the new thing to talk and not even children discuss such things but even grown-up talk about such moral and evil design inside us. The story of good and bad voices is a story of generations and it went like this even for generations. Whenever there is a debate on morality, the story of good and bad voices emerged in one or in other way. The theory of good and bad voices, say, that every human I shaving two powers within and these two powers are good and bad and these powers always and mostly on every issue suggest or guide to do things accordingly, and, we are the judge who decide which power is better. It is we, who decide to hear the voices of good one or bad on...
